Chapter 343 I can tell you're angry
Wang Qin quickly put down her chopsticks and bowl. "I'll go open the door."
She went to the door, opened it, and saw Qin Ce standing outside.
"Xiao Ce?" Wang Qin opened the door. "Come in quickly, you've come at the perfect time, we were just about to eat."
"Where is Qiao Xing?" Qin Ce asked.
"She's inside. I should have asked her earlier. I didn't know you were coming too."
Qin Ce didn't say anything. He stepped through the door and walked into the house.
Upon entering, one sees Qiao Xing at the dining table.
Qiao Xing kept her head down, picking at the rice in her bowl, without looking at him, as if she didn't know he was there.
Wang Qin's gaze shifted between the two, and she sensed that the atmosphere between them was not quite right.
She smiled and invited, "Come and sit down, I'll get you a bowl."
Qin Ce remained silent for two seconds before walking over and sitting down next to Qiao Xing.
Lin Xi was originally sitting next to Qiao Xing, but when she saw him come, she looked at him as if she had seen a ghost and took her bowl to the other side.
Qin Ce naturally ignored her, his gaze remaining fixed on Qiao Xing's face.
Wang Qin took out the bowls and chopsticks, "Xiao Ce, here you go, you two eat more, I made a lot."
Qin Ce took the bowl and chopsticks, thanked him, and then put them back on the table without eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat awkward.
Wang Qin also hesitated to start eating. She whispered to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, aren't you going to put some food on Xiao Ce's plate?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qin Ce, only to meet the man's deep gaze.
I couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but I felt he had something to say.
Qiao Xing looked away and casually picked up a piece of green vegetable from his plate. "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and eat."
She called for food, and Qin Ce picked up the bowl, taking a few bites hastily.
Qiao Xing didn't have much of an appetite, so he ate a little and then put down his bowl.
Wang Qin said, "Why don't you two sleep here? The house next door is still empty."
Before Qiao Xing could speak, Qin Ce interjected, "No, let's go back."
Qiao Xing awkwardly shut his mouth again.
There weren't enough rooms, and Wang Qin felt bad about letting them stay, so she said, "That's fine too."
Qin Ce took Qiao Xing's hand, stood up and said, "We'll be going now. Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie."
Wang Qin forced a smile. "It's nothing. Come often when you have time."
Qin Ce pulled Qiao Xing out the door and walked downstairs in silence.
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised when she saw his Mercedes. "You picked up your car?"
"Um."
Qiao Xing looked at it again and realized something was wrong. She recognized the Mercedes model. "I remember you used to drive an E300, how did it become an S300?"
Qin Ce was stunned. He himself couldn't remember whether the car was an S or an E. He had just driven it around the company for a couple of 300 km/h. He didn't expect her to remember it so clearly.
"You must be mistaken."
"Really? Maybe." Qiao Xing scratched her head, no longer dwelling on it. She opened the car door and got in.
Qin Ce got into the car as well, looking her over and over. Although she seemed perfectly normal, Qin Ce still had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Qiao Xing noticed his gaze and turned to meet it. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qin Ce said uncertainly, "I feel like you're angry."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. "It's all your imagination. I'm not angry."
"real?"
"Really?"
"Then why did you come here?"
Qiao Xing paused for a moment before saying, "I was bored at home, so I habitually wanted to come and see Grandpa, but when I got here I realized he wasn't here anymore."
"that's all?"
"Mmm."
Qin Ce stopped talking and drove Qiao Xing back home.
After they got back, the two of them didn't say a word to each other.
Qin Ce disliked the atmosphere.
Are you working overtime tonight?
Qin Ce shook his head. "No."
"Then go to sleep early, you haven't slept all night."
"good."
After they finished speaking, the two became awkward again, as if they had returned to the beginning, when they had just gotten their marriage certificate, a situation that was both polite and awkward.
Qiao Xing's wound couldn't get wet, so she didn't take a shower. She just washed up quickly and went back to bed.
Qin Ce spent a long time showering in the bathroom before returning to the bedroom wrapped in his bath towel.
After turning off the lights, the two lay down on the bed.
They are very close together, but the space in the middle feels abruptly empty.
Qiao Xing turned over, facing away from him. Although it was just a very ordinary action, something she often did before, this time, it still made Qin Ce's heart skip a beat.
He suddenly spoke up, "Can't you sleep?"
"I can sleep."
"..."
Qin Ce moved closer to her, put his arm around her waist, and called out to her, "Qiao Xing."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Were you angry with me because you overheard me on the phone this morning?"
Qiao Xing was momentarily at a loss for words when he asked that question.
It would seem petty of her to get angry just because she overheard him on the phone.
"No, don't overthink it. Go to sleep. Aren't you tired after staying up for so long?"
Qiao Xing heard him sigh, and he grabbed Qiao Xing's hand again, remaining silent for a long time.
I thought he would say something, but after waiting for a long time, Qiao Xing got sleepy and didn't make a sound.
Finally, Qiao Xing confirmed that he had fallen asleep.
Qiao Xing also sighed, her mind wandering, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, Qiao Xing didn't want to stay at home anymore. After eating the breakfast he made, she asked to go to the company.
Qin Ce wanted her to rest at home, but seeing the look in her eyes, he could only agree in the end.
He drove Qiao Xing to her company and told her to drive carefully.
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement, opened the car door, and got out. Qin Ce watched her until she entered the company building before leaving.
As soon as Qiao Xing arrived at the company, Zhao Yan greeted her, "Good morning, Sister Qiao Xing. I haven't seen you for several days. I've missed you so much."
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Good morning."
"Is your injury alright? Are you able to go to work today?"
"Um."
"The market research you asked me to do is finished. Can I send it to you now?"
"Great, it's done so quickly."
Zhao Yan smiled sheepishly, "I've been very slow. It's because you haven't been to the company for too long. Okay, I've already sent it to your email. Take a look."
"good."
Qiao Xing opened the file she sent, but after reading a few lines, she started to drift off into thought.
She also saw messages in the S&C WeChat group. She clicked on them and saw that they were test data from the R&D department.
The group was quite active, with discussions about design features and such. Someone suggested making the AI glasses like a smartphone, saying it would be a waste to use them solely for games, and that smartphones are the essential items that everyone needs nowadays, compared to games.
While the idea is good, the amount of engineering required to turn it into a smartphone is enormous.
If this proposal were put forward, the R&D department would be furious with me.
They want to learn to fly before they can even walk.
Qiao Xing browsed through their chat history, clicked on the test report, and saw a signature.
Her fingers, which were holding the mouse, paused slightly.
