Chapter 36, could it be a counterfeit?
"What is it? Tell me."
Qin Ce shifted his gaze from her face to look elsewhere. "If, and I mean if, one day you discover that I've been hiding things from you, what will you do?"
"Well..." Qiao Xing didn't know how to answer for a moment. She said carefully, "That depends on what kind of relationship we had at that time and what we were hiding."
At this point, Qiao Xing added, "Isn't it a bit early to be saying these things now?"
"Hmm, it is a bit early." Qin Ce's tone was ambiguous, as if he meant something.
Qin Ce also took the initiative to end the topic, "Okay, let's get back to the house issue now."
Qiao Xing nodded, subconsciously sitting up straight, like a subordinate waiting for an order from their superior, and said, "Go on."
"Since neither of us plans to divorce right now, we don't need to be so meticulous about some things in the future. If you want to buy this house, then put it in your name."
"ah……"
Qin Ce continued, "So, until either of us has any thoughts of divorce, we'll just act like a normal married couple. You don't need to worry about whether I'll suffer any losses."
"In marriage, no one is at a disadvantage, and as a husband, it is only natural to give money to your wife. You don't need to feel embarrassed."
"..." Qiao Xing didn't know what to say.
"You want to know what Grandpa just told me? He told me that if either party in a marriage has selfish motives or the idea of taking advantage or being taken advantage of, then no matter what the marriage is like, it's not far from ending."
Qiao Xing was momentarily stunned by what he said, and could only agree, "Hmm...you're right."
Qin Ce said, "Finally, I want to say that everyone has the right to decide on our marriage. If you find someone you like in the future, you can get a divorce at any time, and vice versa."
Qiao Xing nodded hurriedly, understanding what he meant. "I understand."
"Okay, then until neither of us plans to divorce, let's proceed as a normal marriage."
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I have no objection. Since you've said so, then I'll really put my own name on the property certificate."
"Yes, if you need money, just let me know."
The main reason was that he was busy on Friday; his schedule was full in the morning and afternoon, so he didn't have time to go with her to transfer the property.
Qiao Xing couldn't help but laugh. "You scared me to death! You were so serious. But I'm still very happy to have talked to you for so long. I've really learned a lot."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, you've shown me different views on marriage and on spouses. You've also made me realize that not everyone is a bad person, and not all men are selfish or calculating."
I never expected him, who is usually so taciturn, to talk so much tonight.
Qin Ce pursed his lips, but didn't respond.
From the moment he concealed his identity from Qiao Xing, he had already been weighing the pros and cons.
“Sometimes, don’t just look at appearances, and don’t judge a person by intuition,” he said ambiguously.
Qiao Xing frowned, somewhat confused.
But Qin Ce had already ended the conversation, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Qiao Xing hesitated, glancing at his computer and then at Qin Ce. "Are you going to work overtime tonight?"
Qin Ce was slightly taken aback.
He noticed a hint of tension and unease in Qiao Xing's eyes.
For some reason, he thought of her stiff body when he was sitting on the back of her electric scooter.
Qin Ce raised the corners of his mouth. "No overtime, I'll go to bed early tonight."
"..." Qiao Xing's face stiffened, and her lips twitched several times before she managed to smile again. "Okay, okay, then I'll go take a shower first."
After saying that, she blushed, got up, found her pajamas in the closet, and ran out of the bedroom as if fleeing.
Qiao Xing lingered in the bathroom for more than half an hour until Lily knocked on the door from outside, at which point she had no choice but to come out.
"Qiao Xing, what have you been doing in the bathroom for so long?" Lily stared at her with amusement.
Qiao Xing smiled awkwardly, "I just used the toilet, you can go in now."
Lily raised an eyebrow, staring at Qiao Xing's back as if he were going to his execution. She couldn't help but chuckle before pushing open the bathroom door and going in.
After Qiao Xing returned to the bedroom, Qin Ce also found his pajamas, a champagne-colored robe.
"I'm going to take a shower," Qin Ce said to her as he walked to the door.
"Go on, hurry up." Qiao Xing pretended to blow-dry her hair, trying her best to appear natural.
Qin Ce smiled and took his bathrobe to the bathroom, where he happened to run into Lily coming out as well.
Lily was wearing a white lace dress with nothing on top. Even without bending over, her thin nightgown was almost completely visible.
Knowing that her cousin-in-law and future father-in-law were both present, she still dared to dress so boldly.
It's clear this woman has an unusual mind.
Upon seeing Qin Ce, she straightened her back, making her figure even more prominent.
Unfortunately, Qin Ce didn't even glance at her before entering the bathroom.
The moment Qin Ce closed the door, Lily suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Wait."
Qin Ce frowned. "Let go."
Lily smiled at him, her fingers touching the watch strap on his wrist. "Richard Miller RM UP-01, over ten million, brother-in-law, it's not a high-quality fake, is it?"
Qin Ce's expression shifted, his eyes narrowing slightly, radiating a dangerous aura. "You know about these things?"
Lily brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I know a little bit about this, so is it a high-quality replica or the real thing?"
Qin Ce chuckled, but it was a cold laugh: "You think I can afford the real thing?"
Lily raised an eyebrow. "That's true. If you could afford the real thing, you wouldn't be living here. So, is this dress of yours a high-quality replica?"
Qin Ce retorted, "Isn't your family very wealthy? Can't you tell if it's true or not?"
Lily's smile froze slightly. "Of course I could tell. I just wanted to ask you."
Qin Ce ruthlessly withdrew his hand and then closed the door.
Lily stared at the bathroom door, the smile on her lips vanishing. She was puzzled; even if she wanted to buy a fake to show off, she wouldn't buy such a distinctive watch.
Moreover, Qin Ce said he was wearing a high-quality replica, so why didn't he feel guilty at all?
Who would admit to wearing fake goods if they wanted to show off? That would go against the very purpose of buying them to show off.
This Qin Ce is really strange in every way.
In the restroom, Qin Ce casually took off the wristwatch, looked at it, and then put it in his suit pocket. He didn't plan to wear it anymore.
Qiao Xing lay in bed, biting her fingers. She was still a little nervous about what might happen next, and her heart was beating very fast.
While she was lost in thought, Qin Ce entered and stood by the bed, asking:
"May I come up?"
