Chapter 364 Do you really hate me that much?
The shop assistant's eyes widened again, unsure whether to marvel at having encountered a tycoon or to suspect that the man was mentally unstable.
Qiao Xing had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped. Turning around, she saw Qin Ce following her at a distance.
She knew she couldn't get rid of this person today.
What exactly do you want?
Qin Ce stared at her for a few seconds before saying, "I'll go shopping with you."
The calmer he remained, the angrier Qiao Xing became, feeling as if no matter what he said or did, it was like hitting cotton.
She stared at Qin Ce for a long time, then turned and left.
"Is there anything else you'd like to buy? Feel free to browse around."
Qiao Xing glanced at him. "You're very rich, aren't you?"
Qin Ce remained silent.
His silence felt like a knife to Qiao Xing's chest; he realized his question was somewhat pointless.
"You'll buy me anything I want?" Qiao Xing asked again.
"Tell me first, as long as I can afford it." Qin Ce didn't agree immediately, afraid that she would say she wanted to buy the entire Earth, which he really couldn't afford.
"Then you should buy this shopping mall," Qiao Xing said irritably.
Qin Ce thought for a moment, "Not today. I need to get an appraisal first, and then formulate an acquisition plan. Are you in a hurry?"
"..."
Qiao Xing could no longer communicate with him, and seeing his serious expression, Qiao Xing was afraid that he would actually buy it.
Qiao Xing sighed, saw a bench nearby, and went over to sit down.
Qin Ce silently followed beside her. Seeing that she still didn't want to talk to him, he said again, "Don't be angry. I'll get someone to appraise it right now, and I can buy it for you in as little as a month."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that he had already taken out his phone and was making a call.
She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand, yelling, "Are you crazy?!"
Qin Ce frowned, looking at her with confusion. "Didn't you say you wanted to buy it?"
"I..." Qiao Xing's blood pressure was rising, and she suspected that she would be driven to death by him sooner or later. "Can't you tell that I'm just saying things out of anger?"
Qin Ce was silent for a while before saying, "Then what can you do to stop being angry?"
"You won't be angry if you stay away from me!"
"How far?"
Qiao Xing's forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The farther the better!"
Qin Ce also sighed, staring intently at Qiao Xing for a long time.
Do you really hate me that much?
Qiao Xing was stunned. She saw the hurt look in Qin Ce's eyes, and the words of affirmation stuck in her throat for a long time.
She lowered her head, unsure of what to say for a moment.
After what seemed like an eternity, Qiao Xing finally glanced at him and said, "I'm hungry."
Qin Ce was stunned for two seconds before he reacted and quickly asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"casual."
Qin Ce thought for a moment, then took out his phone to check out a restaurant guide and found one with a high rating that wasn't too far away.
"Let's go," Qin Ce said, reaching out to take her hand.
She surprisingly didn't break free, which gave Qin Ce hope. He pulled Qiao Xing downstairs and out of the mall, since it wasn't far away and they could walk there directly.
Qiao Xing remained silent the entire way. She was helpless against this man's persistent pestering, but undeniably, his actions made the previously insurmountable gap between them seem to have narrowed.
Ultimately, no matter how rich he is, he's still just an ordinary person.
They have the same emotions and desires as ordinary people.
Qin Ce glanced at her every now and then. She kept her head down, looking absent-minded, as if she was thinking about some random thing again.
He tightened his grip on her hand and suddenly called out, "Qiao Xing."
Qiao Xing looked up blankly, "What?"
"Stop overthinking. Don't you think it's pointless to worry about those things now?"
Qiao Xing didn't understand what he meant.
Qin Ce stopped and looked at her seriously. "Even if I'm not the boss of S&C, but just an ordinary employee, if we really part ways one day, it won't have much to do with my status."
"If two people reach the end, it only means that their fate has run its course. It has nothing to do with their status. They will separate as they should, and vice versa."
Qiao Xing was stunned again. His words were like a blow to the head, hitting her hard and making her feel dizzy and lightheaded.
What he said makes some sense. There are quite a few divorces nowadays. No matter how good the relationship is, or what status they have, when it's time to divorce, they will still get divorced.
Is she really being stubborn?
Seeing that she had taken his advice, Qin Ce pulled her along and continued walking.
The sun is shining today, and it feels warm and cozy on my skin, perfect for a walk.
The two arrived at the restaurant and went up to a private room on the second floor. Qiao Xing was still pondering his words. Although what he said made sense, it was still a bit awkward for Qiao Xing to accept it immediately.
She felt it was too easy for him to forgive her so easily after he had lied to her for so long.
"Let's eat first and then think about it." Qin Ce put some food on her plate, pulling her back to reality.
Qiao Xing glanced at him, picked up her chopsticks, and lowered her head to eat, eating somewhat absentmindedly.
Qin Ce didn't move, sitting opposite her watching her eat.
After dinner, Qin Ce asked her again, "Where else would you like to go?"
Qiao Xing shook her head. "I'm not going. I want to go back to the hotel."
"good."
So Qin Ce called another car and took her back to the hotel.
He shamelessly followed him in. Qiao Xing's eyelids twitched, and she turned around to glare at him, "What are you doing in here?"
I thought you weren't angry anymore.
"Who said I'm not angry! You lied to me for half a year, how can I forgive you so easily?"
Qiao Xing got angry just thinking about it.
Qin Ce sighed helplessly, "Then what else do I need to do to make you feel better?"
"You go out first, I need to think about it."
How long do you want to think about this?
He kept asking these unanswerable questions. Qiao Xing grabbed his arm and pushed him out, saying, "Mind your own business! Get out of here!"
Qin Ce cooperated with her and went out. As soon as he stepped out, the door slammed shut.
He stood outside for a while before turning to leave.
Qiao Xing sat in the room. She wasn't exactly angry, but she felt a tightness in her chest and a strange sense of irritability.
It wasn't just Qin Ce's words, but also the phone call his father made earlier.
This made Qiao Xing realize that even if she forgave Qin Ce, there would be more trouble in the future. Just thinking about those possible things made Qiao Xing instinctively not want to face them.
She lay helplessly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After a while, her phone rang. It was a message from Yang Han, asking if she wanted to go watch the game.
Qiao Xing glanced at it but didn't reply.
She just wants to go back to Chongqing right now; she has no interest in watching the game.
Losing your ID card is already a hassle.
Qiao Xing opened his WeChat Moments out of boredom and suddenly saw a post from Qiao Ying with a picture of the airport in Haishi.
She actually came too?
