Chapter 193 Turns out he has a girlfriend.
Qiao Xing and Wang Ye ordered food, but Qin Ce didn't come in for a long time.
She got up and went outside to take a look, only to find that Qin Ce was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did this guy go?"
Qiao Xing took out her phone and sent him a message, but he didn't reply, so she called him instead.
He answered the phone, but before Qiao Xing could speak, he said, "You guys eat, I have something to do. Message me when you're done eating and I'll come pick you up."
"you……"
Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, Qin Ce had already hung up the phone.
She was a little suspicious. What was the matter that was in such a hurry?
When Qiao Xing returned to the restaurant, Wang Ye asked, "What happened? Where's Qin Ce?"
"He had an emergency and left early. Let's eat by ourselves." Qiao Xing was a little absent-minded. She picked up her chopsticks and rummaged through the rice in her bowl.
"What urgent matter could it be at this hour? You're not going to meet some beautiful girl, are you?"
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "How could that be?"
Wang Ye touched his stubble and changed the subject, "Cousin, do you think I look much more handsome with this beard?"
Qiao Xing glanced at him, her eyes showing a hint of disdain. "No, you look even more sloppy."
"You really don't know how to appreciate it. They call this a mature and steady style."
Qiao Xing looked him over again. She didn't know how a man's beard could grow so fast. It had only been a few days since she last saw him, and his chin was already covered with a thick, dark beard.
However, Wang Ye is indeed handsome, and with his bronze skin and thick beard, he does have a certain wild charm.
The premise is that he doesn't speak or make any movements; once he opens his mouth, his image will be completely ruined.
The two were eating when Qin Ce arrived near a landmark in the city center.
From afar, you can see Qin Yi carrying a shoulder bag, with a girl beside him, and the two of them are talking.
Qin Ce parked the car in front of the two of them, rolled down the window, and spoke first, "Get in the car."
Upon hearing this, both of them turned to look at them, especially the girl, whose eyes flashed with amazement.
"Brother Qin Ce, is that you?"
Qin Ce frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the girl's face. "Who are you?"
Qin Yi took the initiative to speak, saying, "Brother, this is Shi Yi. You probably don't remember her. I came here without telling Dad, saying I was going on a trip with Shi Yi. I need her to cover for me."
"I don't remember," Qin Ce said coldly.
But he knew the surname Shi; the old man had a very good relationship with their family.
Shi Yi didn't mind and smiled sweetly: "It's normal not to remember. You were only five or six years old when you left, and after all these years, I still didn't recognize you."
Shi Yi has a baby face, making her look younger than her actual age. She is 28 years old this year, but looks like she is 18 or 19. In addition, her dressing style is sweet, so you can't tell her real age just by looking at her appearance.
Qin Ce didn't want to chat, so he said, "Let's get in the car first."
Qin Yi took his things to the trunk, but Shi Yi sat in the passenger seat first, which made Qin Ce frown again.
"Brother Qin Ce, on the way here, Xiao Yi kept talking to me about you. He said you are exceptionally outstanding and he takes you as his role model."
Qin Ce didn't speak, but his brows were furrowed tightly.
Qin Yi sat down in the back and chimed in, "Don't talk nonsense."
Shi Yi laughed and said, "I'm not making this up. You said it yourself. What's wrong with that? It's not like it's anything shameful."
Shi Yi added, "Oh right, he also said you seem a bit difficult to get along with, but you don't seem to have changed much since you were a child."
Qin Ce ignored her words, started the car, and drove off.
Shi Yi fiddled with the diamond bracelet on her wrist, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Brother Qin Ce, where's your girlfriend?"
This time, Qin Ce spoke up, "She's eating."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's smile suddenly froze.
Even Qin Yi couldn't help but be surprised, "Brother, you have a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me last time?"
"There's nothing to say."
"So that's how it is. No wonder you were so averse to Dad introducing you to someone last time."
After saying this, Qin Yi glanced at Shi Yi in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Shi Yi is not young anymore, and her family has been urging her to get married, but she has high standards, and not just ordinary high standards.
Of all the aristocratic young men in Kyoto, she didn't find any of them appealing. She thought one was too flashy, another too dirty, and those who had never had a girlfriend were either too ugly or too short.
They even looked down on someone because they had a mole on their nose.
For various reasons, I haven't settled down yet.
Before she came, Qin Yi told her that she should pair up with his older brother.
Shi Yi hadn't taken it seriously yet, because when Qin Ce came home last time, everyone knew he had never been in a relationship. Shi Yi even complained that if he was thirty and had never been in a relationship, he must be ugly or there was something wrong with him.
But she still came with Qin Yi out of curiosity.
After all, in her memory, Qin Ce was very handsome when he was a child.
When Qin Yi finally met her in person, and when she even took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, he knew that Shi Yi had probably taken a liking to his eldest brother.
Now that Qin Ce has a girlfriend, I wonder what Shi Yi is thinking, and whether she'll scold me later.
Shi Yi quickly smiled back, "Then you must be very pretty, right?"
"Um."
That "hmm" really broke Shi Yi's defenses. After all, she had never heard anyone praise another woman in front of her before.
The phrase she heard most often was, "You're not as pretty as me."
"Then you must introduce us to her? I'm getting curious. I really want to see what kind of girl can win over my Qin Ce."
Qin Ce remained tight-lipped: "We'll talk about it another time."
Shi Yi pouted, "So stingy, covering it up so tightly, are you afraid I'll take it from you?"
Qin Ce fell silent again.
Even though Shi Yi wanted to liven things up, she couldn't find a way to break the ice.
Qin Yi said from behind, "Brother, are you taking me to see Mom?"
Qin Ce, however, answered irrelevantly, "Have you booked a hotel?"
"No, why would you need to book a hotel?"
People who are used to living in big villas would naturally think of staying at Qin Ce's house first, so why would they stay in a hotel?
Qin Ce held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other, saying, "I'll order it for you."
His attitude made Qin Yi sense something unusual.
"Brother, does Mom not want to see me?"
"no."
"So you don't want me to see her?" His words were tinged with anger.
Qin Ce slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road. He gripped the steering wheel and pondered for a moment.
"There are some things I can't tell you right now. Stay at the hotel, and I'll arrange for you to meet later."
