At that time, Tian Guo's mother even ran to the kitchen and took out a knife.

She threatened her uncle that if he didn't allow her and Tian Guo to have a peaceful life, she would kill herself and him.

My uncle was so scared that he ran away.

Tian Guo has been in a much better mood lately, and she's been exceptionally enthusiastic at work, talking more when communicating with others.

Since she joined Big Bad Wolf, she has changed quite a bit. This is not only because she has been influenced by everyone, but more so because Tian Guo genuinely likes Big Bad Wolf Company and loves the atmosphere here.

Sun Miao told Qiao Xing all of this when she called her.

She hadn't been to the company for the past two days, and Sun Miao was incredibly bored. Whenever she had free time, she would call Qiao Xing to share the company gossip with her.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Boyan went to dinner with Sheng Yao today. I have a feeling there's something going on between them!"

This gossip immediately piqued Qiao Xing's interest, and she asked with considerable surprise, "I remember Boyan didn't seem to like Sheng Yao very much, so how come things are progressing so quickly? Has he come to his senses?"

"Probably. Sheng Yao is so good-looking and has a very warm personality. Who wouldn't like a girl like that? I bet Boyan definitely has feelings for her, but he's just too shy to say it."

Qiao Xing had seen Sheng Yao twice before, when she came to the company to see Shen Boyan.

She actually liked Sheng Yao quite a bit; she always seemed happy and walked with boundless energy.

Sometimes she saw that Shen Boyan was quite cold when he spoke to her. If it were any other girl, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand Shen Boyan's temper and would have turned around and left.

But Sheng Yao was different; no matter what Shen Boyan did, she didn't care.

Perhaps Shen Boyan was also moved by her persistence and sincerity.

After all, no one would dislike a girl like that.

Sun Miao was talking enthusiastically about Shen Boyan and Sheng Yao when she looked up and saw that Shen Boyan had returned.

She quickly covered her phone and whispered to Qiao Xing, "I can't talk to you now, Boyan is back!"

Qiao Xing had no choice but to hang up the phone.

She suddenly sighed, feeling an emptiness in her heart.

Back then, when she was at work, she always heard her colleagues complaining about how hard and tiring it was to work, and that they wanted to quit and go home to lie down.

Qiao Xing sometimes has these thoughts when she's in a bad mood.

But now that she's actually lying down, she feels uncomfortable all over.

People are just so hard to please.

Although she can now work from home and the workload is not heavy, she still misses the feeling of being in the office.

Most importantly, it's convenient to do anything at the company.

Qiao Xing felt that things couldn't continue like this. Her due date was still four or five months away, and if she really had to stay at home every day for four or five months, she would go crazy with anxiety.

Qiao Xing put the computer away and then seriously thought of a solution.

She needs to get Qin Ce's permission to go to work.

Just then, voices came from outside. It was the nanny coming to make lunch, and she was chatting with Grandpa Qin.

Qiao Xing immediately had an idea.

She walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, saying to the nanny, "Auntie, could you cook a couple more dishes for lunch today? I'd like to send some over to Qin Ce."

The nanny readily agreed, "Then what dishes should we make?"

This stumped Qiao Xing, as Qin Ce hadn't eaten lunch at home for quite some time.

She didn't know what he liked to eat for lunch.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xing said to the nanny, "Just do it as usual, don't do too much."

If she takes it and Qin Ce has already eaten lunch, it will be a waste.

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Grandpa Qin was sitting in his recliner reading the newspaper when he heard what Qiao Xing said. He asked in confusion, "Why are you bringing food to Xiao Ce all of a sudden?"

Qiao Xing gave an awkward laugh. "When he's busy with work, he doesn't have time to eat. Eating out isn't as healthy as eating at home. I'm just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, so I thought I'd bring him some food."

After hearing her words, Grandpa Qin put down the newspaper in his hand. "Xingxing, you and Xiaoce haven't been arguing these past few days, have you?"

Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Grandpa, why do you ask that?"

"I heard you two talking loudly in your room yesterday, and I wondered if you two had a fight? Did Xiao Ce bully you?"

Qiao Xing suddenly wondered if Qin Ce would agree if she asked Grandpa Qin to talk to him.

But if she were to reveal this, she probably wouldn't be able to hide her previous trip to the hospital.

Qiao Xing thought about it and decided not to tell Grandpa Qin.

"Grandpa, we didn't quarrel, we're fine, don't worry."

"It's good that you don't argue, but Xiao Ce's temper will definitely make you angry. If he really upsets you next time, just tell Grandpa and let him teach him a lesson!"

Qiao Xing asked with a smile, "What if I'm wrong? Will you still scold him?"

Grandpa Qin immediately said, "You're so obedient and sensible, how could you make a mistake? And even if you did, you're pregnant now, there's nothing that can't be forgiven. If Xiao Ce tries to argue with you at a time like this, see how I deal with him!"

His words warmed Qiao Xing's heart.

The nanny prepared two dishes and a soup for Qin Ce, packing them all into a lunchbox. Qiao Xing carried the lunchbox out and asked Xing Jiu to take him to the company.

Before leaving, Qiao Xing specifically instructed Xing Jiu not to tell Qin Ce about her plan to deliver food.

Xing Jiu, of course, chose to obediently listen.

As long as Qiao Xing wasn't going to the company, Xing Jiu would listen to whatever she said.

Xing Jiu drove the car to the underground parking garage, and Qiao Xing took the elevator from the underground garage directly to Qin Ce's office.

She arrived early; there was still about half an hour before lunchtime.

Qin Ce went to a meeting, so no one was in the office.

Qiao Xing put the lunchbox on the table and then idly observed Qin Ce's office.

The office layout is simple: a desk, a small rest area, and a small bookshelf. The most eye-catching feature of the room is probably the huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the sun.

Although the office layout was simple, it was spotless and looked both comfortable and impressive.

Qiao Xing walked around and went to Qin Ce's desk, where he sat down in a chair.

The chair could rotate, and Qiao Xing put his hands on both sides and slowly spun around, finding it very fun.

As she turned around, she imagined Qin Ce sitting in a chair working.

He certainly wouldn't be as naive as her; he'd probably be staring blankly at the computer screen or browsing the documents on his desk.

There was also a steaming cup of coffee next to him, which Qin Ce would occasionally pick up and take a sip.

Qiao Xing saw that this is how CEOs are described in TV dramas and online novels.
