Chapter 296 If you guessed it right, I'll give it all to you.
Qiao Xing hurriedly left Qin Yi behind and followed Qin Ce upstairs.
Their place was on the second floor. Qin Ce opened the door, took Qiao Xing's hand, and led her inside.
The room was more luxurious than Qiao Xing had expected, and it was a duplex.
"Qin, Qin Ce, you didn't buy this house, did you?"
Qin Ce paused, turned around and glanced at her, "Oh, it's that person from earlier. He's letting us stay for a few days."
"Oh, I see. Your friend is such a nice person."
Qin Ce opened the briefcase he had just used and showed Qiao Xing a better side of his friend.
He took out two stacks of cash and two cards, and casually tossed them on the table. "If you're going out, remember to take cash with you."
Qiao Xing nodded. She had checked online before coming and found that mobile payments were not supported abroad, and some places didn't even support credit cards.
But... Qiao Xing picked up the banknotes on the table and roughly counted them. They were about 20,000. After converting the exchange rate, that's over 100,000!
"Is your friend really that generous? Giving you so much money?"
"No, I asked him to change it for me in advance."
Qiao Xing tilted his head and thought for a moment. That's a lot.
This inevitably made Qiao Xing wonder how much money Qin Ce had saved up.
Qin Ce seemed to sense her thoughts and explained, "This is my New Year's bonus."
"Bonus?" Qiao Xing suddenly remembered this and asked in a low voice, "How much bonus did you receive?"
"you guess."
Upon hearing those two words, Qiao Xing instantly lost the will to continue the conversation. It was unclear whether he was afraid of her finding out or simply wanted her to guess.
Qin Ce added, "If you guess right, I'll give it all to you."
Qiao Xing's interest was piqued again, and she smiled, "Really?"
"real."
"Let me think about it." Qiao Xing rubbed his chin, analyzing Qin Ce's current position and his own abilities. Moreover, since he returned to China with the company, his influence in the company must be significant.
I don't know what their company's system is, but in theory, he should be entitled to bonuses.
Qiao Xing made a slightly bolder guess, "Five hundred thousand?"
Qin Ce looked at her with an inscrutable expression. "Are you sure?"
Seeing his expression, Qiao Xing hesitated again. After thinking it over, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "I'm sure! Just tell me how much it is!"
Qin Ce nodded seriously, "You guessed right."
Qiao Xing's eyes widened, then lit up. "There really are so many?"
"That's right, I'll give you the money when we get back."
Qiao Xing took his arm. "Oh, it's no different whether you put it there or I do it, you don't need to give it to me."
"Isn't it always the wife who manages the money?"
"Um... not necessarily."
Qin Yi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. "That's enough for you two. Do you still want to eat?"
Qiao Xing then realized that there was a third person in the room. She coughed and stopped discussing the topic.
Qin Ce then took her to see the rooms and let her choose one herself.
Qin Yi basically left him to his own devices, letting him fend for himself. Qin Yi didn't care about any of that; he just picked a room with his luggage.
He didn't believe a word of Qin Ce's lie that the house was lent to them by a friend, so he didn't feel constrained at all.
After putting away their luggage, the question of what to eat arose. Qin Ce asked her whether she should cook for herself or eat out.
Before Qiao Xing could answer, Qin Yi blurted out, "Let's eat out. Going to buy groceries and then coming back to cook is too much trouble; I'm starving."
Qiao Xing wholeheartedly agreed; after such a long flight, she was too tired to move.
Since the two agreed, Qin Ce didn't say anything and led them out to eat.
He drove the two of them to a Chinese restaurant, which was quite crowded, as it was located in the most bustling area of Paris and attracted many tourists.
While flipping through the menu, Qin Ce said to Qiao Xing, "Although this is a Chinese restaurant, the taste might not be quite authentic. What would you like to eat?"
Qiao Xing was looking around when he heard his words and casually said, "You order, I don't understand it anyway."
Qin Ce was silent for a moment. He ordered for himself. Anyway, the taste couldn't compare to that in China. It was a restaurant in a tourist area, and as long as it could fill his stomach, it would be fine.
When Qiao Xing first arrived here, he was curious about everything. There were people of all skin colors here.
Even while eating, her eyes were constantly looking around.
Qin Ce glanced at her every now and then, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Want to go out for a walk later?" Qin Ce asked.
Qiao Xing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes! Did you bring a camera?"
Qin Yi said, "It's in my suitcase; I didn't bring it."
Qiao Xing was a little disappointed. Going back to get it would be too much trouble, so it seemed he would have no choice but to use his own phone.
Seeing her take out her phone, Qin Ce reminded her, "Don't put your phone in your pocket later, it's not safe."
"Why?"
Qin Yi said, "Because you never know when it might disappear."
"That terrifying?"
Qin Yi: "Of course! You bought so much stuff, but didn't you buy a couple of ropes to hang your phone up?"
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "You didn't tell me."
"I thought you had looked up so many guides online and brought them from the house yourself."
Qiao Xing choked for a moment, too lazy to talk to him anymore, and buried her head in her food.
Qin Ce is right. The food at this Chinese restaurant is indeed not very good. It's not bad, but it's definitely not delicious either. It's somewhere in between, just edible.
After dinner, Qin Ce took her to a nearby famous tourist attraction—the Eiffel Tower.
However, there were too many people, and the tickets they bought weren't for today. Qin Ce didn't want to queue, so he took Qiao Xing to visit the banks of the Seine River as a token gesture.
Qiao Xing naturally didn't understand any of this, and the viewpoint Qin Ce brought her to offered a clear panoramic view.
However, there were too many people here, and Qiao Xing couldn't even find a good angle to take a picture because it was full of people.
To be honest, this was quite different from what Qiao Xing had imagined. The TV shows never depicted so many people; they were all about romance, beauty, grandeur, and freedom.
But now, Qiao Xing feels that it's similar to those tourist attractions during domestic holidays.
Of course, it could also be because the Chinese New Year is approaching.
Qiao Xing searched and searched and finally found a place that was barely enough to take a picture—an empty spot where someone had just finished taking pictures and left.
She pulled Qin Ce over and handed her phone to Qin Yi, saying, "Quick, take a picture of us."
Qin Yi also looked like he had lost all will to live; all he wanted to do now was go back to sleep.
He took the phone and took pictures of the two of them.
He held up his phone, looking at it over and over again, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He looked up at Qin Ce and said, "Brother, at least smile. It's not like we're taking an ID photo. Why are you so serious?"
While others pose for photos, Qin Ce just stands there like he's on guard duty.
"Stop talking nonsense and start shooting!"
Qin Ce hates having his picture taken. Standing in front of the camera makes him feel like he's watching monkeys in a zoo. If Qiao Xing hadn't dragged him to take the picture, he would never have stood here to take a picture.
