Chapter 855 is because of him

Qiao Xing bit her lip, despite Qin Ce's unquestionable tone.

But she still wanted to try to salvage the situation. "As I just said, once I finish my work, I'll stay home and focus on my pregnancy."

Qin Ce stared at her intently. "When?"

"This..." Qiao Xing didn't dare to guarantee the time. What if she still couldn't leave by then? Wouldn't that make her someone who didn't keep her word?

All she could say was, "I'll do it as soon as possible. You know, everyone in the company has put in a lot of effort for this project. They're working hard to make it a success so that more people outside will recognize their capabilities and know the name 'Big Bad Wolf Company'."

Qin Ce remained unmoved by Qiao Xing's emotional appeal, saying, "That's their business. What I care about is you."

"This is my business too. I'm the person with the most shares in the company now. If it weren't for my pregnancy, I would be the one who takes the most care in that company. They've already taken good care of me because they're also pregnant. It would be so inappropriate if I could just come and go as I pleased."

When Qiao Xing first mentioned the shares to Qin Ce, Qin Ce already suspected Shen Boyan's motives.

Qiao Xing's arrival did indeed change the Big Bad Wolf Company's initial situation, and part of the reason they were able to gradually improve was because of Qiao Xing.

However, a company's operations, shares, and capital are relatively sensitive factors.

When Shen Boyan gave his shares to Qiao Xing, he didn't know that the person she married was Qin Ce.

If he already knew, then using this share agreement to try to get closer to Qiao Xing and Qin Ce and curry favor with them would be understandable.

But the truth is, Shen Boyan didn't know.

There was only one reason Qin Ce could think of for doing this.

He wanted Qiao Xing to become the company's largest shareholder, and then have her leave the company without any reason.

In this way, he could legitimately get along with Qiao Xing.

Qin Ce knew his thoughts and completely regarded Shen Boyan as a very scheming person.

Perhaps it wasn't what he thought, but whether it was or wasn't.

Qin Ce had to think this way.

After all, that person was after his wife, and Qin Ce no longer considered his thoughts as good or bad.

However, Qin Ce did not tell Qiao Xing about this.

From Qiao Xing's perspective, Shen Boyan did this because he valued her, which is why she felt guilty and felt that it had nothing to do with the company.

If he were to question Shen Boyan's motives, it would be his fault.

Seeing that Qin Ce remained silent, Qiao Xing grew anxious. "I really won't let myself get into any more trouble this time. Can you just trust me one more time?"

Qin Ce paused for a moment, then said, "We'll talk about it later."

"ah?"

Qiao Xing paused, then asked, "So, did you agree or not?"

Qin Ce remained silent and prepared to go to bed.

Qiao Xing walked over and nudged his arm. "Say something."

Qin Ce remained silent.

Qiao Xing sighed; it seemed he didn't want to agree.

Qiao Xing had thought that Qin Ce might just have said no, and that he might agree when she went to the company the next day.

However, it turned out she was overthinking it.

The next day, when Qiao Xing woke up, she still didn't see Qin Ce.

He's probably already at work.

Qiao Xing got ready and wanted to go to work as usual, but to her surprise, she saw Xing Jiu standing at the door again as soon as she stepped out.

Qiao Xing was startled again.

Xing Jiu repeated what she had said before, "Madam, President Qin said you cannot go to the company."

Qiao Xing was heartbroken, but unwilling to give up. "Does he really intend to keep me trapped at home forever?"

Xing Jiu truthfully replied, "President Qin said that you can go anywhere you want, except for the company."

"What if I insist on going?"

Xing Jiu said helplessly, "If you insist on going, I won't do anything to you, but I will call President Qin and ask him to come back."

Qiao Xing completely resigned himself to his fate.

She knew that Qin Ce wouldn't agree anytime soon.

Xing Jiu also thoughtfully added, "Madam, if there's anywhere you'd like to go, I can drive you back."

If she's not allowed to go to the company, Qiao Xing won't even bother going out.

She didn't even reply to Xing Jiu's words in a fit of pique, and instead slammed the door shut.

Grandpa Qin saw that she had returned after leaving and asked in confusion, "Xingxing, are you still not going to the company today?"

Qiao Xing had skipped the company before, but not as often. Sometimes, even though it was very late, she would still go to the company every day.

If Grandpa Qin wanted to spend some time with him yesterday, he could understand, but not going to the company today is a bit strange for Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing didn't know what excuse to use when he told Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin asked worriedly, "Did something happen? Tell Grandpa, and we'll figure it out together."

She forced a smile and explained to Grandpa Qin, "No, Grandpa, nothing's wrong. Don't worry. It's just my colleagues at work. They thought I was pregnant and wanted me to rest at home. Anyway, there's nothing much going on at the company."

Grandpa Qin said, "Oh, it's good that you're alright. You're a good child in every way, but you just like to report good news and not bad news. Let me tell you, no matter what problems you encounter, you must discuss them with your family, especially Xiao Ce, otherwise everyone will worry."

Qiao Xing sighed inwardly. She was trying to discuss it, but they couldn't reach an agreement.

Since Qiao Xing couldn't go to the company, she could only call Shen Boyan to let him know.

Since becoming pregnant, Qiao Xing has been absent from the company for a long time, which is understandable to everyone.

Sometimes they even wished that Qiao Xing could work from home so he wouldn't have to travel back and forth so much.

But every time, it was Qiao Xing who couldn't sit still, worrying about this and that.

So when Qiao Xing said this to Shen Boyan before, Shen Boyan always agreed and told her to stay at home without worry.

But this time, Shen Boyan asked Qiao Xing, "Is it your husband who won't let you come to the company?"

Qiao Xing did not deny it, "I'm pregnant now, and if I keep running back and forth, my family won't feel at ease. I have to think about them too."

Shen Boyan fell silent.

Is that really the case?

Given Qin Ce's personality, if he were truly worried about Qiao Xing, he wouldn't have let her go out to find a job in the first place.

Since he agreed, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of the series of problems she would encounter after starting work.

It's hardly convincing to say I'm worried or uneasy now.

A voice inside Shen Boyan told him that Qin Ce did this because of him.
