Chapter 135 I guarantee you with my integrity
Qiao Xing paused halfway through her sentence, unsure whether Yang Han knew that Qin Ce liked men.
If he doesn't know, then if I say it, wouldn't that seem like I'm talking behind his back?
Yang Han waited for a long time without getting any further information, and he got impatient. "What is he? Oh, sister-in-law, don't keep me in suspense!"
Qiao Xing pursed her lips and whispered, "I've told you, can you promise me you won't tell anyone else and won't ask Qin Ce?"
"Of course! Since you've said so, I definitely have to agree. Tell me quickly, what little secret does he have?"
Yang Han mustered all her attention, ready to hear Qin Ce's little secret.
A few seconds later, he heard Qiao Xing say, "He likes men."
"..."
There was silence on the phone, and it lasted for a long time.
The long silence made Qiao Xing's heart jump. She quickly said, "You promised me you wouldn't ask him."
"Pfft, hahahahaha..."
Yang Han couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into deafening laughter, spitting all over her phone as she laughed.
Qiao Xing got a little anxious, "Don't laugh! Promise me first."
Yang Han couldn't stop laughing, and because she laughed so hard, she choked on her saliva and coughed violently.
Qiao Xing was so worried from his coughing that she almost thought he would cough himself to death.
"Yang Han, are you alright?"
Yang Han groaned twice, barely managing to suppress her laughter, "Oh my god, my stomach hurts, sister-in-law, you made me laugh until I cried."
To be honest, Qiao Xing was a little unhappy when he heard this.
He learned Qin Ce's secret and even mocked him.
"Sister-in-law, how did you know? Did he tell you?"
“Um…” Qiao Xing thought carefully for a moment, then realized he hadn’t said that. “No.”
"How did you know that?"
Qiao Xing couldn't very well tell him that he started to suspect Zhang Xue's homosexuality from her comment, "Either he has a problem or he likes men," and then gathered evidence to prove that Zhang Xue was gay through various means, could he?
Moreover, Yang Han is a man, so it's inappropriate for him to talk about this kind of topic.
"I...I don't know, I just feel it."
"You feel that way, right? What behaviors of his make you feel that way?"
Yang Han calmed down as well. Through Qiao Xing's words, he actually understood in his heart where Qin Ce's recent strange behavior came from.
Even Han Yan complained to him privately several times, and asked him if Qin Ce had suffered some kind of shock recently, as he was always picking on him.
"Hmm..." Qiao Xing couldn't bring herself to say it.
Hearing her stammering, Yang Han, as a man, could more or less guess what was going on.
Therefore, he didn't press the matter further. He simply told Qiao Xing, "Sister-in-law, you know he's not dating, right?"
"Know."
"Having never been in a relationship means I've never been in a relationship with anyone, including men. Do you understand?"
Qiao Xing frowned and gave a vague "hmm" in response.
Yang Han coughed and asked the probing question: "So, how could he be gay?"
These words made Qiao Xing's heart skip a beat, and it started beating faster and faster; she could barely hold her phone.
She swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Are you sure?"
“How many years have I known him? Don’t I know whether he’s gay or not? Sister-in-law, your worries are completely unnecessary.”
"I..." Qiao Xing was at a loss.
"Let's put it this way: with his outstanding qualities, if he really liked men, he couldn't have never been in a relationship, right? Even if he liked men, he should have dated them."
Qiao Xing fell silent; Yang Han's words were very convincing.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"I...I don't know." Qiao Xing's mind was in complete chaos.
Yang Han's phone call bombarded her with so much information that she couldn't process it all at once.
"Hmm...it's okay. You can think about whether what I said is right or not. Anyway, I guarantee you with my integrity that he is not gay!"
He spoke those last few words with such force and conviction, as if he wanted to announce them to the whole world through a megaphone. Yang Han believed that Qin Ce also wanted to do the same.
"Um."
Yang Han sighed and said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. You can talk to him yourself when he gets back. Seriously, I thought it was nothing serious."
He didn't hear the little secret, but instead heard a big joke that made his stomach hurt from laughing.
"I understand, thank you Yang Han."
"You're welcome. I'll hang up now. And remember what you promised me, okay?"
"good……"
Yang Han quickly hung up the phone, and Qiao Xing became uneasy, restless in the room.
Yang Han's words had a huge impact on her.
For so many days, she had treated Qin Ce like a sister, and the two of them had slept in the same bed without any hesitation. Now that she thought about it, she wanted to crawl into a hole.
Actually, upon closer reflection, it makes a lot of sense.
If Qin Ce was marrying for the purpose of continuing the family line, he should have kept it a secret from her from the beginning and then acted quickly.
And if he doesn't like women, how come he's never even dated a man?
The more Qiao Xing thought about it, the more uneasy she became, especially when Yang Han said, "He really likes you," which made her heart race.
She scratched her head, picked up her phone, and wanted to send a message to Qin Ce.
She held her phone in silence for a long time, not knowing what to send.
In the end, she had no choice but to put her phone back and go out to buy groceries.
When Qiao Xing returned from grocery shopping, Qin Ce was also back. He had just parked his car outside the residential area and bumped into Qiao Xing as he got out.
The moment Qiao Xing saw him, the hand holding the bag tightened abruptly.
"Qin... Qin Ce," she stammered as she greeted him.
"Hmm, you went to buy groceries?"
Qin Ce spoke to her as usual, but Qiao Xing's mindset was different now; she was a little nervous when she spoke to Qin Ce.
"Yes, that's right."
Seeing her awkward expression, Qin Ce asked, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
"No, no, I'm just thinking about what to eat tonight..." she blurted out.
Qin Ce glanced at the groceries in her hand, then looked into her eyes. "You've already bought the groceries, and you still don't know what to eat for dinner?"
Qiao Xing: "..."
Qin Ce walked over, took the groceries from her hands, and asked her, "Is it about your cousin?"
Qiao Xing shook her head and said softly, "No, don't ask anymore."
Now, thinking back to how Qin Ce had emphasized to her that it wasn't a homosexual relationship, which she hadn't believed, she felt her face burning with embarrassment.
He must think she's an idiot or mentally challenged, and that it's too embarrassing.
Moreover, the two of them slept in the same bed for so long.
If he knew that she had always treated him like a sister and slept in the same bed with him, who knows what he would think of her.
That's so embarrassing.
Qin Ce stared at her for a few seconds, then picked up the groceries and walked into the residential area. "Let's go back first."
Qiao Xing followed behind him, and the more she thought about it, the redder her face became, like a ripe apple.
Qin Ce glanced back at her every now and then.
Qiao Xing has fair skin, so when her face turned red, it was quite noticeable.
It's no longer just fair with a rosy glow, but rather fair with a hint of pink, like two patches of blush.
