Chapter 943 Get out of the car and take a look

Qin Ce looked into the distance and said, "It's nothing."

Qiao Xing stared at him, sensing that he was hiding something from her.

"you……"

Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, Qin Ce suddenly asked, "Has Shen Boyan contacted you recently?"

Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"Just asking." Qin Ce said casually, as if it were really just a casual question.

If Qiao Xing didn't know him, she would have believed it.

"Qin Ce, what are you hiding from me?"

"No."

"I don't believe you," Qiao Xing said directly. "You've already started questioning Shen Boyan, and you still say you're not hiding anything from me?"

Qin Ce remained calm and composed. "I wasn't hiding anything from you; I just felt you didn't need to know."

Sure enough, it seems Qiao Xing wasn't overthinking things.

Remembering what he had just said to Wang Yu, she asked, "Is it related to Qin Fei? What did she do?"

You'll find out in a couple of days.

Qiao Xing couldn't help but frown.

What on earth is Qin Ce up to?

Although she didn't understand, Qiao Xing didn't press him for an answer. He always had his own opinions, and she wouldn't interfere with any of his decisions.

Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "But what does this have to do with Shen Boyan? Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Qin Ce scoffed, "Someone wants to expose the relationship between you and me, and Shen Boyan is the main character. Of course I have to ask him."

He said meaningfully, "If Shen Boyan contacts you, you can go and meet him. Otherwise, they will lack evidence and the show will fall apart."

Qiao Xing became increasingly confused. "What are you talking about?"

She paused, then vaguely sensed something was wrong. Suddenly realizing what was happening, she reached out and punched Qin Ce hard. "What nonsense! Why would I go see him for no reason!"

Qin Ce let her hit him, saying, "I'm telling the truth, I won't be angry."

"Who cares if you're angry or not! You've never been this generous before!"

He doesn't tell her anything, and he keeps saying things she can't understand. It's really baffling.

Qin Ce let her take a few hits, then took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.

"Okay, I was just teasing you. Don't worry, I haven't done anything to betray you, nor did I intentionally try to hide anything from you. Things have just been a bit chaotic these past few days, and I need to take care of them. You'll know when the time comes."

Qiao Xing looked at him with a skeptical expression, "Really?"

When have I ever lied to you?

Qiao Xing had the same expression Qin Ce was giving her, as if he knew perfectly well what was going on.

Seeing that she was bringing up old grievances again, Qin Ce knew he was in the wrong and touched his nose, saying, "That was out of necessity."

"Tch." He's quite good at making excuses for himself.

The two walked for quite a while, and Qin Ce, worried that Qiao Xing was tired, led her to sit on a bench by the roadside.

The two had just sat down when Qiao Xing's phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment before answering the call.

Hello?

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Ms. Qiao, it's me."

Qiao Xing recognized the voice. "You are... Sheng Yao?"

"Yes, it's me, Miss Qiao. I'm so sorry to bother you, but... I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Qiao Xing was already surprised when Sheng Yao called her, but she was even more astonished when she heard that Sheng Yao needed her help.

"You need my help? What's wrong?"

Sheng Yao bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, "I... how about we find a place and talk in person? I can't explain it clearly over the phone."

Qiao Xing said, "Alright then."

"I'll send you the address! Thank you, Miss Qiao, you're a kind person!"

Qiao Xing hung up the phone and said to Qin Ce, "Sheng Yao called me and said she needs my help."

"Sheng Yao? That heiress of the Sheng family?"

"Hmm." Qiao Xing nodded, guessing Sheng Yao's purpose in contacting her. "She likes Shen Boyan. Could her contacting me be related to Shen Boyan?"

Qin Ce said, "You'll find out when you get there."

Qiao Xing was a little surprised when she heard this. "You don't mind?"

"Why would I mind? It's her who likes Shen Boyan, not you."

"Oh, right." Qiao Xing realized that her thoughts were a bit unnecessary.

"Go if you want. Do you need me to take you there?"

Qiao Xing quickly said no need, "Didn't you make an appointment with Tang Xi to talk business? I can go by myself."

"It's alright, I can take you there first and then go. Let's go."

Qin Ce drove Qiao Xing there. Sheng Yao found a coffee shop, which wasn't far away, only a five or six-minute drive.

Qin Ce had just crossed one traffic light and was about to cross the next intersection when a cyclist suddenly appeared.

Although Qin Ce turned the steering wheel the moment he saw the person, he was a step too late. The person was grazed and fell to the ground.

Qiao Xing was so shocked when he saw that he had bumped into someone that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Qin Ce remained calm in the face of danger and steadily stepped on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road.

"Are you alright?" Qin Ce asked Qiao Xing immediately.

Qiao Xing shook his head and urged Qin Ce, "Hurry up and get out of the car to take a look."

Qin Ce unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. Qiao Xing, coming to her senses, followed him out of the car as well.

The person who was hit was a young girl. Qiao Xing and Qin Ce came up to her. When the girl looked up, Qiao Xing was stunned.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Xiao Xiao was also surprised to see Qin Ce and Qiao Xing.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Qiao, I... Ah!"

She hurriedly stood up, forgetting that she had sprained her ankle. As soon as she stood up, she felt a sharp pain and leaned forward, almost falling against Qin Ce.

Qin Ce reacted quickly. Just as Xiao Xiao was about to touch him, he turned to the side, creating distance between them, and at the same time reached out and grabbed her arm.

Xiao Xiao finally managed to stand up and repeatedly thanked Qin Ce.

"Mr. Qin, Ms. Qiao, I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going and caused you trouble. Don't worry, I won't try to scam you. I'll leave right away!"

As she spoke, she limped over to her bicycle and picked it up.

Although Xiaoxiao was hit and injured, she did rush out on her own. Even if responsibility is to be determined, Qin Ce should not be held responsible.

But seeing how disheveled she looked, Qiao Xing felt a little guilty. "Your foot is injured. Shall we take you to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Xiao Xiao quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no need to trouble you. I'm going to the hospital anyway, I can go by myself. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Qiao."

"But you can't ride a bike like this!"

As soon as Qiao Xing finished speaking, Xiao Xiao, who was about to ride her bike, let out a painful cry.

She crouched down, clutching her ankle, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

Qiao Xing quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot? I told you, you can't ride a bike like this."
