Is there some misunderstanding in Chapter 958?

As soon as Qin Fei finished speaking, Qin Ce looked up at her.

Qin Fei was stunned by his gaze and instinctively looked away.

She thought Qin Ce would scold her as usual the next second, but to her surprise, Qin Ce didn't say anything.

Qin Liang, however, scolded her with displeasure, "How old are you? Don't you know how to speak properly?"

Qin Fei pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "I'm just telling the truth. You'll find out later."

After finishing the phone call, Qiao Xing went straight upstairs, changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and seemed to be heading out.

Wang Yu asked, "Xingxing, aren't you going to eat?"

Qiao Xing said, "My friend needs to see me, so I have to go out for a bit."

Wang Yu worried, "Is it okay for you to go out like this? Let Xiao Ce take you."

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Qin Ce.

Qin Ce remained unmoved.

Qiao Xing didn't even glance at Qin Ce before saying, "No need, I'll just take a taxi."

"You're supposed to be a member of the Qin family, after all. What kind of behavior is it to take a taxi? Let the driver take you," Qin Liang said.

Qiao Xing was a little shocked, not expecting Qin Liang to say that.

In contrast, Qin Ce, standing to the side, seemed completely unaffected, as if it were none of his business.

Qiao Xing shook his head and said to Qin Liang, "It's okay, I'll be there soon, no need to trouble yourself."

After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he left.

She had barely left when Qin Ce got up.

Seeing this, Qin Yi quickly stood up as well. "Brother, are you going to the hospital? I also want to go see Grandpa. Let's go together."

Qin Ce nodded.

The two went out together.

Wang Yu looked a little worried. She asked Qin Liang, "What's going on between Xiao Ce and Xing Xing? Did they really have a fight?"

Qin Liang responded coldly, "Whether they argued or not, why are you so concerned? Judging from your tone, you seem very concerned about their relationship?"

Wang Yu's expression stiffened, then she gave Qin Liang a reproachful look, "What are you saying? I'm an elder, how could I really hope they fight? Of course I want them to be well, that's why I'm worried."

Qin Liang said, "There's nothing to worry about. Just take good care of Qin Ji and Qin Fei and make sure they don't do anything unnecessary."

Wang Yu's fingers clenched slightly, but she maintained her smile. "I know."

After leaving the Qin family, Qiao Xing went to a high-end restaurant.

Sheng Yao had already arrived. Upon seeing Qiao Xing, she quickly stood up and waved, "Qiao Xing, over here!"

Qiao Xing walked over, glanced at the restaurant's ambiance, and asked Sheng Yao, "Why are we eating here? Is there something particularly important happening today?"

As before, Sheng Yao ordered a juice for Qiao Xing and then said to her, "Can't I treat you to a meal unless it's something important?"

Qiao Xing saw right through her thoughts. "Are you sure you want to treat me to a meal?"

A blush immediately appeared on Sheng Yao's face. She smiled shyly and said, "Okay, I admit it. I also called Shen Boyan."

Qiao Xing laughed and said, "So I was just a backup option."

"No! I was just worried he wouldn't want to come out with me, so I specifically asked you to come out and support me. With you here, he definitely won't refuse."

Her confident words left Qiao Xing speechless, "How can you be so sure that he won't refuse if I'm there?"

Sheng Yao said, "I can't really explain it, it's just a gut feeling."

She wasn't sure if Shen Boyan still really liked Qiao Xing, but no matter what, Qiao Xing's position in Shen Boyan's heart was definitely higher than hers.

Therefore, Sheng Yao felt that calling Qiao Xing over was definitely the right thing to do.

Although Qiao Xing felt helpless, she didn't say anything.

She had already guessed it when Sheng Yao called her to say she wanted to have dinner.

Since she was going to put on a show for Qin Fei these next few days anyway, she might as well take this opportunity.

Just as the two were discussing what dishes to order, Shen Boyan arrived.

Sheng Yao and Qiao Xing were sitting facing each other. Qiao Xing knew that, given Shen Boyan's personality, he would definitely prefer Qiao Xing and Sheng Yao to sit together, while he would sit opposite them.

But Qiao Xing refused to go along with him. She remained seated because she knew that Shen Boyan would not sit with her, and in the end, she could only resign herself to sitting next to Sheng Yao.

Wouldn't that create an opportunity for the two of them?

As expected, Shen Boyan's gaze lingered on Qiao Xing and Sheng Yao for a few seconds before he finally chose to sit next to Sheng Yao.

Sheng Yao tried to suppress a smile and handed him the menu. "Qiao Xing and I have already ordered. What would you like to eat?"

Shen Boyan said, "Either is fine."

Sheng Yao knew he would say that, so she didn't ask any more questions and simply ordered all the dishes.

After all the dishes were served, Qiao Xing and Sheng Yao chatted and ate, while Shen Boyan did not participate in their conversation and simply ate quietly.

Fortunately, Sheng Yao was a chatterbox. While she was chatting with Qiao Xing, she also pulled Shen Boyan into the conversation, asking him questions about this and that.

This was the first time Qiao Xing had ever seen Shen Boyan trying so hard to respond to Sheng Yao's topics, which he considered trivial.

If this had happened in the past, Shen Boyan would have already started to get impatient after Sheng Yao had only said a few words.

Moreover, Shen Boyan not only responds to Sheng Yao in conversation, but also occasionally serves her food.

Sheng Yao herself seemed very flattered.

Watching the interaction between the two, Qiao Xing thought to herself, it seems that Shen Boyan is not indifferent to Sheng Yao after all.

After they had eaten almost all of their food, Qiao Xing wanted to give the two of them some more time, so she suggested that they go back.

She had just stood up when Shen Boyan also stood up. "I'll see you out."

Sheng Yao was slightly taken aback.

Qiao Xing was about to say no, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Boyan's gaze and felt that he seemed to have something to say to her.

Moreover, he didn't want Sheng Yao to hear these words.

Qiao Xing had no choice but to swallow his words and nod.

Sheng Yao watched the two leave the restaurant, feeling slightly disappointed.

She couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it be that she was really wrong?

Shen Boyan had never truly let go of Qiao Xing, at least not for a while.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have come today.

Qiao Xing and Shen Boyan came out of the restaurant and stood by the roadside waiting for a car.

It was almost noon rush hour, and there weren't many cars on the road.

Shen Boyan looked around and asked her, "Where's your husband? Why didn't he come to pick you up?"

Qiao Xing certainly wouldn't tell Shen Boyan the truth, "He's a bit busy, so I'll take a taxi myself; it'll be more convenient."

Shen Boyan snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "It's clear he's quite busy, so busy that he doesn't even have time to care about his pregnant wife."

Qiao Xing noticed the strangeness in his tone. She pursed her lips and tentatively asked Shen Boyan, "Shen Boyan, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time. Is there some misunderstanding between you and my husband?"
