Chapter 142 This feeling is a little different.
Qiao Xing froze, her eyes widened like saucers, and heat instantly rose to her cheeks, quickly spreading to the back of her ears.
She stared into the man's eyes, and their gazes met. Finally, the car fell silent.
In just two seconds, Qin Ce released her, his voice a little hoarse, "You're the one who needs to calm down."
After saying that, he straightened up and closed the car door.
Qiao Xing sat blankly in her seat, her back ramrod straight. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her mouth.
It seemed as if his warmth still lingered on it.
Qin Ce opened the car door and got in. He acted as if nothing had happened, fastened his seatbelt, started the engine, and drove off.
Fortunately, Qiao Xing didn't look in his direction, otherwise she would definitely have seen his slightly trembling fingers.
It was Qiao Xing's first kiss, and it was his first kiss too.
So much so that he secretly began to feel grateful to Wang Qin. If her biological mother hadn't come back, how could he have had this opportunity?
For Qiao Xing, however, the feeling was somewhat different.
In the past, when Lin Yu wanted to kiss her, Qiao Xing could smell his bad breath, the smell of smoke and alcohol, and the cheap men's cologne on his body if she got close enough.
Every smell was incredibly pungent, so strong that it triggered a stress reaction in her, forcing her to push Lin Yu away.
After trying three or four times, Lin Yu saw that she couldn't bring herself to kiss him, so he stopped asking.
At the time, Qiao Xing thought he was being respectful to her, but now that she thinks about it carefully, he might not be wearing men's perfume, but rather women's perfume.
He's already had a full meal outside, so he definitely won't force her anymore.
The car was quiet, and neither of them spoke.
Qiao Xing felt very hot, perhaps because the air conditioner was on, and her face felt like it was burning up.
She stiffly extended a finger and lowered the car window a little.
She moved very carefully, afraid of making too much noise and breaking the silence first.
She moved her eyes, glancing at Qin Ce out of the corner of her eye.
He drove intently, his eyes fixed straight ahead, the light and shadows passing by outside the window occasionally falling on his face, making his handsome face appear both bright and dark.
After arriving at the residential complex, Qin Ce parked his car in the underground garage, got out of the car, and walked to the elevator entrance to wait for the elevator.
Qiao Xing gripped the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding with anxiety.
This tactic really worked; she no longer had the mind to think about Wang Qin, but she was also more irrational.
The wait for the elevator is much longer than before; even ten seconds feels like half a century.
After entering the elevator, the lights turned on.
Qin Ce finally turned his head and glanced at her. She still had her head down, with a few strands of hair lingering around her ears. Her face was no longer red, but her ears were still very red.
He subtly withdrew his gaze, watching the elevator floor numbers jump around, and reflected on the situation for a moment.
Did I scare her?
So she began to wonder what kind of relationship she'd been in for the past two years, that a kiss could turn into this.
From the time they returned until now, forty minutes have passed, and they haven't said a single word.
After entering the room, Qin Ce suddenly stopped. Qiao Xing, not paying attention, bumped into him and hit his sturdy back.
She took two steps back, stepped on the heel of her shoe, and fell down uncontrollably.
Qin Ce reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.
Her body was stiff as a log. Qin Ce released her and suddenly asked, "Have you calmed down yet?"
Qiao Xing nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Qiao Xing shook his head quickly again.
Qin Ce couldn't help but smile slightly, but quickly suppressed it. "Then go to sleep. We have to go to work tomorrow."
Qiao Xing lowered her head, walked past him, and quickly entered the house.
Qin Ce didn't go to sleep in the room tonight. Qiao Xing tossed and turned in bed for half the night, unable to sleep until dawn.
Hearing the faint sound of a door closing outside, she immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.
She usually gets up at seven o'clock, makes breakfast, and Qin Ce is back around that time.
However, she and Qin Ce got up at the same time today, which was 6:30.
When Qin Cechen returned from his run, he saw the food prepared on the dining table and heard the washing machine spinning, but there was no sign of Qiao Xing.
He frowned, went to the kitchen and took a look. The kitchen was very clean, as if no one had ever cooked there.
The doors to both restrooms were open.
Just as he was wondering, the old man packed his bags and came out, dragging his small suitcase to the dining table.
Seemingly sensing something, the old man looked up into the corridor and saw Qin Ce standing at the toilet door, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The old man pursed his lips, looked away, lifted the lid on the table, and ladled himself a bowl of porridge.
"I'm off to work, don't bother looking anymore." The old man pouted, his disdain evident.
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then walked into the restaurant. "When did you leave?"
The old man glanced at him. "You're asking me?"
It's clear that the old man still has a problem with him.
It was obvious that the two of them had a falling out, but he was too lazy to ask. Anyway, the old man understood that the young man had fallen for him.
Then why should he bother with all that other nonsense?
This kid has been strong-willed and stubborn since he was a child, a trait passed down in the Qin family. Once he sets his mind on something, he will never let go.
When he was a child, his father treated his mother badly, and he said he wanted to learn Taekwondo to kill his father. When his father heard this, he refused to enroll him in a training class no matter what.
As a result, he secretly signed up for a class, and later the old man had no choice but to take him away from that couple and let him study here.
I reckon they're still practicing now.
After finishing his meal, the old man picked up his bird and his luggage and left.
Qin Ce drove him there. The old man hadn't been home for several days. When he passed by the neighborhood, he was stopped by a group of elderly men and women who wanted to play chess with him.
Qin Ce could only silently help him carry the things upstairs.
I'm going to work alone today. Even though I'm driving a BMW, I feel like something's missing.
Qiao Xing was somewhat distracted at work today, worrying and thinking about Wang Qin.
When it was time to get off work, she still planned to go to the hotel where Wang Qin was staying.
She checked the hotel; it's a four-star hotel, costing over 500 yuan per night, so ten days would cost over 5,000 yuan.
Five thousand is enough to rent a house.
No matter what, this matter needs to be resolved; we can't let Qin Ce keep paying out of pocket.
After thinking about it, she sent Qin Ce a message, telling him to take care of his own dinner and not to come pick her up.
Qin Ce's blood pressure immediately spiked upon seeing this message.
As luck would have it, Han Yan was reporting on the progress of several projects to him when he glanced at him and saw his face fall.
Han Yan choked on his own saliva. He coughed twice, flipped through the report in his hand, and seemed to find nothing wrong.
"What's wrong, Mr. Qin? Is the project not progressing as expected, or are the product test data not meeting the standards?"
Qin Ce suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat from the chair, ignored Han Yan, and walked straight out.
He hadn't walked far when he turned back, opened a drawer, grabbed the electric scooter keys, and left.
Han Yan stood there, bewildered and completely confused.
Did he even listen to me just now?
