Chapter 944 Help Me Pursue Him

"I..." Xiao Xiao was already sweating profusely from the pain, but she still refused to let Qiao Xing take her to the hospital. She didn't want to cause trouble for the two of them.

Qiao Xing felt that this couldn't go on, so she looked at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce immediately sensed something was wrong and frowned. "What do you mean? You want me to take her?"

Qiao Xing said, "Otherwise what?"

She hasn't driven much since getting her driver's license; she doesn't even trust herself to drive, let alone anyone else.

"And I also need to go to Sheng Yao's place; she's still waiting for me."

Qin Ce looked at Xiao Xiao, who was squatting on the ground, and then at Qiao Xing, who was "helpful," and pursed his lips.

Just as Qiao Xing finished speaking, Sheng Yao called, "Miss Qiao, have you arrived yet?"

Qiao Xing could only lie, "It's almost here, it's already on its way."

Sheng Yao probably realized that it was impolite of her to urge Qiao Xing like that, but heaven and earth can bear witness that she was just a little anxious and couldn't sit still, so she called Qiao Xing for nothing.

"Then drive carefully, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xing saw that Qin Ce didn't react, so she nudged his arm and said, "Hurry up, look how much pain he's in."

Xiao Xiao, who was squatting on the ground, forced herself to stand up and said to Qiao Xing, "Miss Qiao, really, you don't need to, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Qin Ce standing by the roadside, hailing a taxi.

As soon as the car stopped, Qin Ce opened the door and looked at Xiao Xiao.

His move caught Qiao Xing and Xiao Xiao completely off guard.

Qin Ce said impatiently, "Get in the car."

Xiao Xiao finally came to her senses. She wanted to say something, but seeing Qin Ce's expression, she felt that if she refused again, Qin Ce would definitely get angry. So she swallowed her words and got into the taxi.

Qin Ce decisively closed the car door and said to the driver, "First Municipal Hospital, thank you, driver."

The driver said, "Okay!"

The taxi quickly disappeared into the traffic. Qin Ce turned around and walked up to Qiao Xing, who was still in a daze. "Let's go."

Qiao Xing's thought was for Qin Ce to take Xiao Xiao to the hospital, since Qin Ce was the one who hit her, no matter what.

She's a girl, and she's injured. Regardless of whether they're at fault, it would be more appropriate to take her to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ce actually made them take a taxi to the hospital.

Qiao Xing stood there, muttering, "Something seems off."

Qin Ce looked at her, puzzled. "Is something wrong?"

"I……"

"Didn't you want her to go to the hospital? What, are you worried that the driver will take her to some deserted place?"

"You're talking nonsense again!"

Qin Ce did not do anything wrong, but Qiao Xing was not quick-witted and did not know that it was not necessary for Qin Ce to take Xiao Xiao away.

She might not think it's a big deal, but if there's a fourth person present, she'll feel that it's inappropriate.

Qin Ce didn't give Qiao Xing time to think. He opened the car door and said, "Get in."

After Qiao Xing got into the car, Qin Ce glanced at the bicycle lying on the ground, then looked up at the surveillance camera at the intersection.

Qin Ce narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing that Qin Ce hadn't gotten into the car, Qiao Xing asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Ce looked away. "It's nothing."

After Qin Ce dropped Qiao Xing off, he received a call from the expert team, saying that there was new progress on the previously developed special medicine and they wanted to report to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce hung up the phone and said to Qiao Xing, "Call me in advance when you're done, and I'll come pick you up. Don't take a taxi home by yourself, understand?"

"I understand," Qiao Xing readily agreed.

Every time Qin Ce spoke to her in such a serious tone, she felt that Qin Ce was not like her husband, but like a worried old father.

Qiao Xing was glad that Qin Ce didn't know about her thoughts, otherwise he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

When Qiao Xing found Sheng Yao, she was lying on the table, lost in thought.

"Miss Sheng." Qiao Xing walked towards her.

Upon hearing Qiao Xing's voice, Sheng Yao suddenly looked up, her previously dejected expression instantly transforming into one of boundless energy. "Miss Qiao! You've finally arrived!"

She warmly invited Qiao Xing, "Please sit down! Please sit down!"

The waiter came over and asked Qiao Xing, "What would you like to drink?"

"Warm water is fine, thank you."

After the waiter left, Qiao Xing asked Sheng Yao, "Miss Sheng, what did you want to see me about?"

Sheng Yao said shyly, "Just call me Yao Yao. We've met so many times, we're practically friends. Calling me Yao Yao is more intimate, that's what my family calls me."

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, then don't call me Miss Qiao anymore, just call me Qiao Xing."

"good."

Sheng Yao stirred the now-cold coffee, bit her lip, and looked a little nervous.

"Um, Miss Qiao, oh no, Qiao Xing, the reason I asked you to come here today is because..."

Seeing her hesitation, Qiao Xing tentatively asked, "Is it because of Shen Boyan?"

The spoon in Sheng Yao's hand clashed with the cup, making a clinking sound.

Sheng Yao stared wide-eyed at Qiao Xing in astonishment, "You... how did you know?"

Qiao Xing thought to herself, it seems she was right, it really is related to Shen Boyan.

“You like Shen Boyan so much, and I know him, so you must be looking for me because of him.”

Qiao Xing revealed Sheng Yao's thoughts, which actually made Sheng Yao less nervous.

She relaxed and smiled shyly, "It really is because of him. You don't think I'm being silly, do you?"

"Of course not, what do you want my help with?"

Sheng Yao whispered, "I want you to help me pursue him..."

"Huh?" Qiao Xing was a little confused.

Sheng Yao quickly explained, "I know this is very embarrassing, but I really had no other choice. I used every shameless trick I could think of back in Chongqing, but Shen Boyan remained unmoved."

As she spoke, her shoulders slumped, and she looked very disappointed.

“My family doesn’t like him very much. I’m afraid that if things continue like this, they will really stop me from being with him. But Shen Boyan and I haven’t made any progress. I have no choice but to ask you for help.”

After listening to her story, Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "Then why did you think of coming to me?"

“Hmm…” Sheng Yao felt a little embarrassed to say this, “You are colleagues, and you have known him for a long time, so you definitely know him better than I do. So I want to ask you for advice on how I should get along with Shen Boyan so that he will like me.”

Qiao Xing couldn't help but admire Sheng Yao's unwavering devotion to Shen Boyan.

If it were any other girl, she would probably have given up long ago in this situation.
