Chapter 378 Women are creatures that love to bring up the past.
After Qiao Xing finished washing up, she saw a message from Qiao Ying.
She was stunned. Qin Yi had deleted Qiao Ying's contact information?
What's going on?
Qiao Ying can't find anyone right now, and all the messages she's sending are directed to her. She wants to ask Qiao Xing for help in contacting Qin Yi.
Qin Ce finished packing his things, picked up his suitcase, and walked over to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, Qiao Ying messaged me saying she can't get in touch with Qin Yi. It seems like they had a fight?"
Qin Ce said calmly, "He made a decisive decision."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't worry about it, it's their own business, they can handle it themselves. Aren't they going back to Chongqing? Let's go."
Qin Ce turned off the screen for her and took her hand as they walked outside.
The two went downstairs to the front desk, where Qin Ce left the room key and left.
Just as Qiao Xing stepped out of the hotel, another voice call came in from Qiao Ying. Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce.
Qin Ce carried his luggage toward the parking lot. "I'll go get the car first."
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, then answered Qiao Ying's call, "Hello."
"Sister-in-law, Qin Yi deleted all my contact information. Could you please ask him why?" Qiao Ying's voice was choked with sobs, and she was crying uncontrollably until her voice was hoarse.
That sounds so pitiful.
Qiao Xing sighed, "Alright, I'll ask around for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Need not."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, and just then Qin Ce's car drove up. She got in the car and called Qin Yi.
Qin Ce glanced at her, said nothing, and slowly drove the car away.
The call connected quickly, and Qin Yi's sleepy voice came through, "Sister-in-law, what's up?"
Where are you, huh?
"I'm in Xiao Jiang's room."
Xiao Jiang is his teammate. Last night, he guessed that Qiao Ying would come to see him, so he came here to sleep.
"Qiao Ying just called me and said you deleted her. What's going on between you two?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi gave a cold laugh, "What else could it be? You've made me angry again. I'm such a fool."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Qin Yi roughly explained the situation to Qiao Xing, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became.
Qiao Xing was incredulous; she had never imagined such a thing could happen.
No wonder Qin Ce told her yesterday that Qiao Ying had character issues, and she hadn't realized it yet.
"So that's how it is."
"That's it. I feel like I've been scammed by a fraud ring. No one has ever scammed me like this before. The more I think about it, the more stupid I feel."
He wasn't angry that Qiao Ying had lied to him, but rather that he himself hadn't seen through such a simple trick and had been fooled for three whole years.
During holidays, Qiao Ying would always say that she was home and that the signal was bad at home, and refused to play games with him.
When you call, they'll say the signal is bad because they're not good at the game, or they won't turn on their microphone. If you try to communicate with them by text, their excuse is that they have too many relatives at home and they're embarrassed to turn on their microphone.
He actually believed it!
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. This is indeed a bit... similar to someone else's situation." It's really unpleasant to have your intelligence rubbed into the ground.
Qin Ce, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, gave her a resentful look.
Qiao Xing pretended not to see his gaze and said to herself, "But it's not right for you to block others like this. No matter what, even if it's an online relationship, you've had a serious conversation and made some effort."
"Even if you break up, you should make it clear to her face and put an end to this relationship. Otherwise, she won't know anything and will be looking for you everywhere. If something happens to her, it won't be good for you either."
Qin Yi listened to her words and felt that they made sense. "You're right. I was angry last night and didn't think that much."
"You should have a good talk with her; this kind of passive-aggressive approach won't work."
Qin Yi nodded, "I will talk to her."
"Okay, my mission is complete. I'm hanging up now."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone and glanced at Qin Ce again. "Just drive properly. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Can you guys chat without me in the conversation?"
Qiao Xing touched his nose. "When did I bring you along? I can tell you're taking it personally. This just proves that saying."
"What did you say?"
"A guilty conscience needs no accuser."
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth. "Didn't we agree to go over there?"
"It's in the past, I didn't mention it."
Qin Ce chuckled helplessly, "Sure enough, women are creatures who love to bring up old grievances."
Qiao Xing glared at him, then turned to look at the scenery outside and suddenly asked, "How long will it take to drive back like this?"
"If we don't rest, it will take a day and a night. If we rest along the way, it will take two days and one night. We should be able to arrive by tomorrow afternoon."
"It'll take so long." Qiao Xing's head started spinning again at the thought of such a long journey.
"I'll go buy you two motion sickness patches later."
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised, "You even know about motion sickness patches?"
Just how lacking in common sense do you think I am?
Qiao Xing blinked. Ever since she learned his identity, she felt that Qin Ce was the kind of rich young master who never lifted a finger and knew nothing of the hardships of life.
She, an ordinary person, would naturally not know about such things.
"Back then, some people couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, so it's normal that they didn't know about this kind of thing, right?"
Qin Ce didn't argue with her. He drove to a pharmacy, stopped the car, and got out to buy her motion sickness patches.
After buying it, he handed it to Qiao Xing, "Take a look, is this it?"
Qiao Xing hurried over, glanced at it, and nodded: "Yes, this is it."
She tore open the packaging and stuck it behind her ear; the psychological effect immediately took hold.
"Let's go." Qin Ce drove onto the highway, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to play?"
What to play?
"Let's go back after having fun; we can't have come all this way for nothing."
Qiao Xing was tempted, but then she thought of her job, "I still have to go back to work."
"I've arranged a month's leave for you."
"!! A month? Why did you give me that much time?"
Qin Ce drove leisurely, asking, "Didn't you lose your ID card?"
The main reason was that he didn't know when they could reconcile, so he directly asked for a month's notice, hoping to slowly work things out over that time.
Who knew they'd make up so quickly?
Qiao Xing reluctantly accepted his explanation, "Fine, I forgive you. Just don't ask for leave for me on your own next time!"
"Okay." He parked the car on the side of the road again, took out his phone to search for travel guides, and said, "Let me see where to go next."
"We're quite close to ancient towns in Jiangnan, shall we go over there?"
"Either is fine, but you're driving someone else's car. How will you return it after you drive it back?"
"No need to pay it back, just give him the money to buy it."
Since his identity was revealed, he could spout such extravagant remarks without batting an eye.
Unfortunately, Qiao Xing was unable to refute it.
This made Qiao Xing laugh at his previous attempts to save money by carefully budgeting.
When she said those things, Qin Ce must have been secretly laughing at her for being naive and unsophisticated.
