Chapter 970 Surprise

Qiao Xing replied to Qin Ce, "Whether I feel wronged or not depends on your attitude towards others. If it's just wishful thinking on their part, why should I feel wronged? But if you can't even hold onto your own bottom line..."

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, "I probably won't feel wronged."

Qin Ce frowned slightly. "Why?"

"If it really comes to that, it means you don't love me anymore. Since you have no feelings for me anymore, why should I suffer because of you?"

Qiao Xing's words made a lot of sense, but Qin Ce felt so awkward listening to them.

He stared at Qiao Xing with a forced smile, "You seem to have a pretty open mind about things."

These words sounded like an insult to Qiao Xing, implying he was heartless.

Qiao Xing defended herself, saying, "It's not that I'm easygoing, I just don't want to make things difficult for myself."

Qin Ce seemed to have figured something out, but he didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and finally sighed silently in his heart.

never mind.

It's pointless to talk to Qiao Xing about this.

Qiao Xing's intuition told Qin Ce that his sudden question was definitely not a casual inquiry.

She narrowed her eyes, stared at Qin Ce, and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Qin Ce said calmly, "What could I possibly be hiding from you? Besides, don't you say you don't care?"

Qiao Xing said, "This is not the same thing at all. No matter what, we are husband and wife now. During our marriage, if you do anything to betray me, that is a moral issue, and it has nothing to do with whether I care or not."

Qin Ce watched her earnestly instill her so-called moral principles into him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Because of her pregnancy, her face was slightly fuller, and her expression was slightly serious when she was reasoning with people. She looked a little simple-minded and somewhat cute.

Qin Ce reached out and pinched her cheek. "Don't worry, I would never wrong you, no matter who else I've wronged."

Qiao Xing slapped his hand away. "It's okay to be sorry, just don't lie to me."

Qin Ce narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?"

Qiao Xing realized she had said the wrong thing and tried to slip away, but Qin Ce pulled her back into his arms.

"What...what are you doing?"

Qin Ce said, "Repeat what you just said."

Qiao Xing sensed a hint of danger and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I was just saying, don't take it to heart."

"I've taken it to heart and am holding a grudge, what should I do?"

Qiao Xing felt the man's hand on her waist, and he seemed a little restless.

She immediately reminded Qin Ce, "Don't do anything reckless. If anything goes wrong, Grandpa will definitely scold you to death."

Qin Ce gritted his teeth. "All you do is try to pressure me with the child?"

Qiao Xing revealed a victorious smile, "This is your child too. Don't you think about your own child?"

Qiao Xing was about to get up after speaking, but Qin Ce grabbed her and wouldn't let her go, saying, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, Qin Ce added, "I won't do anything, I'll just sit quietly."

Seeing that he was really obedient, Qiao Xing stopped struggling.

The two of them were enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet in the afternoon.

...

Qin Fei promised Wang Yu that she would visit Grandpa Qin the next day, but she still showed no sign of getting up at 10 a.m.

When the servants came to call her for breakfast, she impatiently told them not to bother her.

Finally, Wang Yu came to her bedroom in person and pulled her out of bed.

Qin Fei was grumpy when she woke up, and she spoke to Wang Yu with a face full of impatience, "Mom! What are you doing!"

"What did you promise me yesterday? Qin Ce and Qiao Xing have already gone to the hospital, and you were still sleeping. You just listened to me like that?"

Qin Fei said irritably, "He's not going anywhere from the hospital. Can't I go later?"

After she finished speaking, she went to sleep.

But no sooner had he lain down than Wang Yu dragged him up again.

Her tone left no room for argument: "Feifei, I don't care how much trouble you cause usually, but if you really want to get revenge on Qiao Xing, you have to listen to me."

Qin Fei was absolutely fed up with this.

She was already upset enough about being photographed.

All she could think about was whether Qiao Xing had all those photos, and what she would do if she actually released them.

These fears and anxieties kept her from sleeping well all night. She finally managed to fall asleep, but now she's being bothered by Wang Yu.

Qin Fei couldn't understand what the point of Wang Yu's actions was. Even if she went to see that old man, what difference would it make?

In his heart, he always valued Qiao Xing more than her.

Wang Yu had already picked out an outfit from the closet and told her to change. "It's almost time. Go wash your face and get yourself cleaned up."

Wang Yu had already given the order, so Qin Fei had no choice but to compromise.

She reluctantly got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

After getting ready to leave, Qin Fei saw Wang Yu follow her out the door.

"Mom, are you going too?"

Wang Yu nodded.

Qin Fei was a little annoyed. "Was this really necessary?"

The driver came over and opened the door for the two of them. After Wang Yu got in the car, she said to Qin Fei, "Don't worry about whether it's necessary or not, just do as I say."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Wang Yu led Qin Fei to Qin's grandfather's ward.

Qin Ce and Qiao Xing were both there, chatting with Grandpa Qin.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

The people present did not seem surprised to see Wang Yu suddenly appear.

Qiao Xing and Grandpa Qin were both surprised when they saw Qin Fei following Wang Yu in.

In their minds, it was as rare as the sun rising in the west that Qin Fei could come to the hospital to visit Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin nodded to Wang Yu and said, "I'm fine. What brings you here?"

"I was just sitting at home doing nothing, so I brought Feifei over to see you."

Qin Fei stood behind Wang Yu with a long face.

Wang Yu frowned, pinched her arm, and pushed her forward. "Feifei, aren't you going to greet your grandfather?"

Qin Fei forced a smile and then called out affectionately, "Grandpa, are you feeling any better?"

Qiao Xing looked at Qin Fei in front of him and felt completely unfamiliar with her.

Qin Fei, who is usually disrespectful and arrogant in front of Grandpa Qin, not only came to the hospital to see him today, but also displayed a completely different attitude.

What is she really up to?

Although Grandpa Qin doesn't usually show much affection for his granddaughter Qin Fei, he is, after all, an elder and wouldn't hold a grudge against a younger generation.

Furthermore, regardless of the reason, it's already quite remarkable that Qin Fei would say such a thing.

He nodded with relief, "Grandpa is doing well. Xiaofei has grown up and become sensible. She knows to come and see Grandpa."
