Chapter 212 Praising Qin Ce with all his might
Qin Ce turned around and found that she hadn't woken up; she just didn't know when she had grabbed him.
An ambiguous emotion flashed in his eyes. He reached out and took Qiao Xing's hand in his palm, then sat down on the edge of the bed.
He placed his other hand on her cheek and let out a faint sigh.
He never expected things to escalate from a farce to something so out of control.
Especially when she asked him so cautiously just now if he hated her, Qin Ce felt that he would probably never be able to tell the truth.
He couldn't imagine the consequences if Qiao Xing found out.
Qiao Xing slept soundly until the world was dark, and when he opened his eyes, the room was pitch black.
She rubbed her eyes, still a little unaware of the time, picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was already past six in the afternoon.
Qiao Xing was instantly wide awake and sat up abruptly.
Looking around, where was Qin Ce?
She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and quickly ran out of the bedroom. The empty room made her feel as if a piece of her heart was empty as well.
A person can endure loneliness, provided they have never experienced liveliness and noise.
Qiao Xing lowered her head and sighed.
But the next second, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen, and Qiao Xing was stunned.
The heart that had fallen silent returned to the chest and began to beat violently again.
She hurried to the kitchen, pushed open the door, and saw Qin Ce dressed in a suit, cooking.
Qiao Xing unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ce turned around when he heard the door open, and Qiao Xing couldn't help but laugh when she saw the apron tied around his chest.
This apron was a free gift from the last time I bought something at the supermarket. It's dark red, and it just doesn't match his serious suit at all.
"It'll be ready soon, go outside and wait."
"Oh." Qiao Xing left, glancing at his apron before closing the door, biting her lip to keep herself from laughing out loud.
That guy is really something, he went to the kitchen to cook without turning on the lights, she thought he had left again.
Qiao Xing turned on the light, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came out, Qin Ce had just put the food on the table.
"You made so much?" Qiao Xing looked at the dishes on the table in astonishment; there were meat, vegetables, and seafood all included.
"Try it." Qin Ce picked up his chopsticks and put a salt-baked shrimp and a chicken wing on her plate.
The color looks alright, but I wonder what it tastes like.
Qiao Xing picked up a chicken wing and took a bite. It was cola chicken wing, not much different from the ones she ate outside, except it lacked the taste of gutter oil.
"How is it?" Qin Ce stared intently at her, seemingly waiting for her evaluation.
Qiao Xing nodded vigorously, took another bite of the chicken wing, and mumbled, "Delicious!"
As she spoke, she even gave Qin Ce a thumbs-up, saying, "You're amazing."
Keep in mind that it's only been a few days since he last made his beet recipe, and his skills have improved so much!
A barely perceptible smile flashed in Qin Ce's eyes as he served Qiao Xing two more dishes: pickled fish and braised eggplant.
Qiao Xing was so moved she almost cried. Qiao Yi had said a miracle would happen, and sure enough, a miracle did happen.
So she praised Qin Ce even more enthusiastically, "It's so delicious! I can't make such delicious food. You're amazing! You're a genius!"
Qin Ce watched her without changing his expression. He was clearly pleased with Qiao Xing's praise, so he said, "Then I'll make it for you from now on."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, almost choking on the chicken in his mouth.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she was playing a trick on him. He was so busy at work, yet he still came home to cook for her...
What has she become?
Qiao Xing was silent for a while, then said, "No...no need, just cook a couple of meals occasionally."
Qin Ce didn't respond to that, and kept piling food into her bowl, saying, "Alright, let's eat quickly, we're going to the hospital in a bit."
Qiao Xing then remembered that Xue Ling was still in the hospital, and the two of them had agreed to visit her.
She stopped beating around the bush with Qin Ce and quickly finished her meal.
She took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes, then went back inside to get her coat and drove to the hospital.
Qiao Xing glanced at the interior of the car and couldn't help but ask, "Qin Ce, this car belongs to the company. Does the company allow you to drive it out like this every day?"
"Yes, I'll take charge of the company car."
"Wow, that's impressive." Qiao Xing clicked her tongue in amazement, but thinking about it, it made sense. Wei Sheng's vehicles were all managed by dedicated personnel in the administration department, and vehicle use required registration.
However, if someone holds a high position, like the assistants around General Manager Liao, they can just register when they need to use the car, without having to write down what they want to do, and then they can drive away.
After all, the head of the administration department is also the boss's assistant.
"Then when will you get your car back?"
"I don't know." Qin Ce, focused on driving, casually replied, "Driving this is the same."
Qiao Xing nodded and stopped talking. It seemed that he had rarely ridden that electric bike since he was stopped by security guards when he went to the movies last time.
We now have two electric bikes at home, both parked in the underground parking lot, and I feel like the money was wasted.
Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.
Joey didn't sleep all night, staying by the bedside, and his face looked noticeably haggard.
Every time I saw her before, she looked very refined, like she was in her thirties. But now, I can finally see the signs of middle age on her face.
"Mom," Qin Ce called out.
Joey looked up at the two of them. Under the light, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose were also revealed.
"You've arrived."
Qin Ce nodded and asked, "Has Xue Ling woken up?"
Joey sighed, "He woke up once at noon, but fell asleep again."
What did the doctor say?
"It's nothing serious, but the stomach might have been damaged during the gastric lavage. It needs to rest for a while."
"It's my fault for not keeping a good eye on her."
Joey shook her head. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. You might be able to watch once, but not twice. By the way, did Yang Han call you?"
"No."
Joey said, "His father called me this afternoon and asked me to come over, but I couldn't get away, so I didn't go. Do you want to go?"
"Okay, I'll go there now."
When Qiao Xing heard that she was going to Yang Han's house, she subconsciously turned to look at Qin Ce.
Qin Ce turned to her and said, "Qiao Xing, could you stay here and help look after things?"
Qiao Xing nodded in agreement. Qiao Yi hadn't slept for so long, and she was probably about to collapse, so it would be good for her to stay here and keep watch.
Qin Ce didn't delay and turned to leave the ward.
Qiao Xing sat down on the stool next to her, took Qiao Yi's hand and said, "Auntie, you should go back and rest. I can keep an eye on things here. I'll call you if anything happens."
Joey shook her head and declined, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
"How could I not be tired? You haven't rested since last night, have you? You can't keep going without rest, so why don't you..."
Qiao Xing was about to say that he would take a nap on one of the other empty beds, but after looking around, he realized that there was only one hospital bed and a sofa in the room.
She had been to the hospital many times, but had never seen a ward like this before.
