Chapter 352 Are there just the two of us?
Yang Han shivered as she listened to his chilling words.
He coughed and lowered his voice, saying, "How could it be a bad idea? If it's a bad idea, you can just not take it, right?"
Qin Ce stared at him with an inscrutable expression, wanting to see what kind of nonsense he could spout.
Yang Han leaned close to his ear and whispered something for a long time.
The group of people exchanged glances and simultaneously glanced at the two of them out of the corner of their eyes.
...
Qiao Xing tossed and turned at Wang Ye's house, unable to sleep all night.
As soon as it was light outside, Qiao Xing got up and went to his kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
The refrigerator was empty except for some eggs and leftovers from who-knows-when.
She sighed, took out a few eggs, boiled five in water, and fried a few more in a pan. She arranged them on a plate and carried the breakfast to the living room.
Wang Ye was awakened by the aroma of eggs. He rubbed his eyes and came out of the house. "Cousin, you're up so early?"
Qiao Xing glanced back at him. "You're up just in time. Hurry up and have breakfast. I'm going to work soon."
Wang Ye picked up his phone and glanced at it. "It's only six o'clock. You're not asleep yet, are you?"
"I'm asleep. I usually wake up around this time." Qiao Xing made it up casually; she really hadn't slept at all last night.
And he's still very energetic, not sleepy at all.
Wang Ye looked at her with a skeptical expression. "Really?"
"Really? Do you want some?"
"Eat, eat, eat. I'll go wash my hands and brush my teeth later."
Wang Ye rushed into the bathroom and finished washing up as quickly as possible.
After they came out, the two sat at the dining table, and Wang Ye looked at her with a hesitant expression.
Although Qiao Xing was eating, she was eating absentmindedly, her eyes wandering off somewhere.
Wang Ye couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, what exactly is going on between you and Qin Ce?"
Qiao Xing snapped out of her daze, turned to look at him, and casually said, "It's nothing."
"Look at you, treating your cousin like an outsider, huh? Fine, then." Wang Ye pretended to be angry, lowering his head to eat his meal.
He was inwardly complaining. Qin Ce asked him to talk some advice to Qiao Xing. Although he didn't know the specifics, he could tell from Qin Ce's reaction that the two of them had a conflict.
Moreover, Qin Ce was quite guilty.
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xing hurriedly replied, "No, cousin. I just... didn't know how to tell you."
"What's so hard to say? My parents argue every day. I've heard them say 'divorce' eighty times, but they're still doing fine."
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "You know..."
She paused halfway through her sentence.
Wang Ye stared at her expectantly, "What do you know?"
"nothing."
Wang Ye almost choked on his words. He looked at Qiao Xing speechlessly, "You leave things unsaid, how am I supposed to go to work today!"
"You should eat quickly."
Qiao Xing didn't want to talk about this. She didn't want to reveal Qin Ce's identity herself, and if she went around talking about it, people who didn't know the situation would think she was showing off.
Seeing that she absolutely refused to talk, Wang Ye didn't press her further. He sighed, "Alright, fine, don't tell me then."
After the two finished their meal quietly, Qiao Xing went to the company.
She arrived early, and there weren't many people in the company. She sat in her seat, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Around 8 o'clock, people started arriving at the office one after another.
Zhao Yan arrived first, and she greeted Qiao Xing with a smile.
"Sister Qiao Xing, why are you here so early?"
Qiao Xing glanced at her. "I just arrived too."
Zhao Yan handed her the bag in her hand, "I brought you milk tea. I originally wanted to buy coffee, but I didn't know if you liked it, so I bought milk tea instead."
Girls probably can't resist milk tea.
Qiao Xing took the milk tea from her, thanked her, and continued staring at the computer screen.
But after reading only a few lines, my mind started to wander again.
Around noon, Bai Yi came over and knocked on Qiao Xing's desk.
"Qiao Xing, come here for a moment."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. Remembering that she had spent the morning wading, she felt a little guilty and quickly got up and went to Bai Yi's seat.
"Team Leader Bai, what can I do for you?"
Bai Yi gave her a subtle look.
Qiao Xing's eyelids twitched, and a bad feeling rose in her heart. "I'm sorry, Team Leader Bai. I will definitely work hard this afternoon."
Bai Yi shook his head. "That's not what I was talking about."
"What is that?"
"Well, I just went to a meeting. President Liao is going to Haishi on a business trip and asked me to take someone with him. Would you like to go and relax?"
Qiao Xing was completely confused. "What does President Liao's business trip have to do with us?"
Bai Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. He probably has his own plans. Are you going?"
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, then asked, "Just the two of us?"
"I don't know, there might be others, but I'm definitely not going to escape. If you're not willing, I'll find someone else."
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
Just like Bai Yi said, it's good to go out and relax, so I don't slack off here every day and am afraid of seeing Qin Ce.
However, after they parted ways yesterday morning, he didn't contact Qiao Xing once or send her any messages.
Qiao Xing felt that he had probably taken her words to heart and was seriously considering their relationship.
Moreover, given his status, he wouldn't shamelessly keep trying after being rejected several times; he also has his own dignity and pride.
"How long will it take?"
"It should only take a few days. Go back and pack when you have time. We'll leave tomorrow."
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised, "Tomorrow? So soon?"
"This is Mr. Liao's order, and I have no choice."
"All right."
Qiao Xing sighed and returned to her seat. Zhao Yan had nothing to do, so she assigned her two tasks.
After working until the end of the day, she had to go back and pack her things.
Her belongings were all at Tianxiang Shuiyuan, so she went home as soon as she got off work. Qin Ce shouldn't be home.
Qiao Xing pushed open the door and turned on the light. The house was quiet and empty.
Furthermore, the things in the house were exactly the same as when she left yesterday, proving that Qin Ce had not returned last night.
With him gone, Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
She went back to her bedroom, took out her suitcase, and casually packed a few clothes.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept all night, she was extremely sleepy around 8 or 9 o'clock.
She went to the bathroom to wash up, applied scar removal cream, and then returned to her bedroom, plopped down on the bed, and fell asleep in less than two minutes.
Although I slept soundly, I was restless and had nightmares all night.
In the middle of the night, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
Qin Ce stared at the sleeping person on the bed for a long time before finally sitting down beside her.
He reached out and tucked the stray hairs behind her ear, revealing her full face.
The man's long, slender fingers traced inch by inch across her face.
