Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...

Chapter 942 It's all your fault!

Qiao Xing bought burn ointment from the pharmacy and, after returning home, prepared to apply it to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce took off his coat and unbuttoned his shirt. Just as Qiao Xing was about to apply the medicine, she froze.

In an instant, she seemed to understand why Qin Ce didn't like having the nurse apply the medicine for him.

That figure...

He would definitely be unhappy to be stared at by a woman he didn't know.

Holding the ointment, Qiao Xing, like the nurse, couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw Qin Ce's exposed abs.

"Have you been secretly working out?"

It's strange, how come she never noticed Qin Ce had such a good physique before?

Qin Ce calmly replied, "I've been working out all along, there's no need for me to do it secretly."

Qiao Xing quickly banished all the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

She took a closer look at Qin Ce's abdomen; it was a little red, but it didn't look serious.

She applied the ointment, gently massaged it a few times until it was absorbed, then took out a tissue and wiped her hands.

"alright."

Just as Qiao Xing was about to get up, she suddenly tripped and stumbled, almost falling over.

Qin Ce reacted quickly and caught her, afraid that Qiao Xing's stomach would be crushed. He reached out and grabbed her arms to try to help her stand up.

"Star, are you in your room...?"

Wang Yu knocked on the door twice, and seeing that it wasn't locked, she simply pushed it open and came in.

As soon as she entered, she saw this scene.

Qin Ce sat on the edge of the bed, his shirt open. Qiao Xing stood in front of Qin Ce with her back to the door, slightly bent over.

From Wang Yu's perspective, this pose is just too...

So Wang Yu misunderstood, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I didn't know Xiao Ce was here too, please continue."

She quickly left, and Qiao Xing stood up, glaring at Qin Ce with shame and indignation, "It's all your fault!"

Qin Ce casually buttoned up his shirt. "It's not like we're having an affair, what are you afraid of?"

Qiao Xing saw that Wang Yu had rushed in so urgently, so she guessed that something was wrong. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going out to see."

When she came out, she indeed saw Wang Yu standing at the door.

"Aunt Wang." Although she hadn't done anything shameful, Wang Yu was, after all, an elder, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to have witnessed such a thing.

Wang Yu's expression was also a little unnatural, but she still maintained a polite smile.

"Xingxing, I heard you and Xiaoce went to the hospital to visit Grandpa. I came to ask how he is doing?"

Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, Qin Ce came out of the room and said, "Instead of worrying about your grandfather, you should worry about your own daughter first."

Qiao Xing and Wang Yu both looked at him, their eyes filled with doubt.

Qiao Xing walked over and asked him softly, "What did you say?"

Qin Ce looked at Wang Yu and said coldly, "I will handle Grandpa's affairs. You don't need to worry about them. If you really have time, you should keep a close eye on your daughter. Don't blame me for reminding you that if she really does something wrong, the Qin family won't be able to protect her."

Wang Yu looked completely bewildered, but she quickly understood the meaning behind Qin Ce's words.

“I know Feifei is immature in many things, and I’ve already talked to her about it, but you know how she is. She never tells me what she does. I have no idea what she’s been doing these past two days.”

Qin Ce sneered, "You'd better not know."

Qin Liang happened to come out of the room and overheard Qin Ce's words.

His face immediately turned ugly. "You're almost thirty years old, and you still talk to your elders like that? Where did all your manners go from childhood to university!"

Wang Yu quickly comforted Qin Liang and explained to him, "Don't talk to Xiao Ce like that. I know Xiao Ce is angry because Fei Fei was impolite to Xing Xing. It's all my fault for not teaching Fei Fei well."

Qin Liang angrily said, "No matter how bad Feifei is, she's still willing to acknowledge me as her father and knows she's a member of the Qin family. Look at him! Does he even have that kind of awareness?!"

Qin Ce smirked, "I'm not a member of the Qin family. Whether you think I'm good or bad is not important to me."

"You!" Qin Liang's anger suddenly flared up.

Wang Yu quickly stopped him, "Don't get agitated, let's talk things out."

Qin Liang snorted and turned to leave.

Wang Yu said to Qin Ce, "Xiao Ce, your father has been in a bad mood these past two days because of Xiao Ji's matter. Don't blame him."

Qin Ce ignored her and simply took Qiao Xing's hand and left.

As Wang Yu watched the two leave, her expression gradually faded.

She went to the balcony, took out her phone, and dialed Qin Fei's number.

"What have you been doing these past two days! I've already warned you, Qin Ce will find out about your little schemes sooner or later, why won't you listen to me!"

Qin Fei wasn't afraid at all. "Oh, I'm almost there. Don't worry about it. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens. I won't drag you and my brother into this."

"You..." Wang Yu was about to speak when Qin Fei impatiently interrupted her.

"Mom, I've already said it. No matter what, I'll find a way to get Qiao Xing out of our house! I know what I'm doing, so don't ask!"

"Feifei!"

Qin Fei had already hung up the phone.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yu felt that things couldn't continue like this.

The things Qin Ce said just now clearly showed that he already suspected Qin Fei.

If things really escalate to Qin Liang's level, then no matter how many kind words she says, it will be useless.

Wang Yu thought for a moment, then finally pulled out another number from her phone and dialed it.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoxiao, how are things on your end?"

Qin Ce led Qiao Xing slowly along the gravel path not far from the villa.

After leaving the villa, Qiao Xing remained quiet and did not say a word.

Qin Ce glanced at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Qiao Xing said, "I don't quite understand."

"I don't understand anything."

“Even Grandpa can see that your dad’s attitude towards you is different this time. You said last time that Qin Ji is useless, so he wants you to manage Qin’s Group. You said that he has such thoughts about you, so why does he still have that attitude when he talks to you?”

Qin Liang seems extremely contradictory.

Qin Ce disregarded Qin Liang's attitude.

In contrast, he preferred Qin Liang to speak in the same tone he had just used.

Because that was the Qin Liang he knew.

"He's always been that kind of person; you've overestimated him," Qin Ce said calmly.

The relationship between this father and son is truly perplexing and incomprehensible.

Qiao Xing simply stopped bringing up the topic.

"By the way, what did you mean by what you just said to Aunt Wang?"

Qiao Xing originally thought that he warned Wang Yu because Qin Fei was being unreasonable.

But after thinking about it, I felt that wasn't the case. Qin Fei had made a scene more than once or twice, and it was already commonplace in the Qin family.
