Chapter 425 Introducing You to Someone
Yang Han sent her a voice message: "Packing my things, getting ready to go back."
Qiao Xing was puzzled. The competition hadn't even started yet. Why was he coming back?
"Why? Did they lose the game?"
Yang Han said, "Tomorrow is the semi-final. If we can't win, we'll leave after the match."
Qiao Xing was completely confused. "Why?"
Yang Han explained to him that the number one ranked team was too strong, and they only needed to win one game to secure the championship, while Yang Han and his team needed to win three games in a row to win the championship.
Yesterday's game was a complete rout for them; they had no chance of winning at all, so why wouldn't they run away?
Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised, "Is the opponent that powerful?"
"What do you think? It's mainly that kid Qin Yi. Just mentioning him makes me want to curse again. That bastard abandoned his teammates and ran away. I really want to beat him to death!"
Yang Han spoke through gritted teeth; if Qin Yi were in front of him, he might actually have made a move.
Xia Nan's skills are actually not bad, but his teamwork is still a bit lacking. It's already quite good that he got second place.
Yang Han's dream of winning the championship is gone, and he is extremely unhappy now.
After hearing his explanation, Qiao Xing felt a little regretful, but could only offer verbal comfort, "Don't be discouraged, just fight back next time. It's not like this is the only competition."
"I'm not interested anymore. I won't play next time it's held. It's a complete waste of time."
Because he abducted Xiao Lin to Haishi, he was severely scolded by his father. At first, he could keep it a secret for a while, but as time went on, he couldn't hide it anymore.
Now he has to go back and face his father's wrath, and he didn't even win the championship. You can imagine how bad his mood is right now.
Qiao Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so after chatting with him for a while, the two of them tacitly stopped sending messages.
After finishing her driving lesson, she walked out of the driving school, but Qin Ce still hadn't arrived. He had texted her an hour ago saying he had set off, so he must be stuck in traffic.
Qiao Xing waited idly for another ten minutes or so before Qin Ce finally arrived.
She got into the car, and Qin Ce didn't ask how her studies went that day; instead, he looked very serious.
Qiao Xing noticed that he seemed preoccupied, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ce sighed, looked at Qiao Xing with some hesitation, and said, "I just got a call. The old man hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I might have to go to Beijing. Do you want to come with me?"
Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, and her first reaction was to refuse, "I think I won't go."
Thinking of Qin Ce's father and their complicated family, she felt suffocated just thinking about it, and she didn't know what would happen if she went there.
"You should come with me. I'm worried about leaving you here alone."
Qiao Xing shook her head vigorously, "No, I don't want to go."
Qin Ce remained silent for a moment, then drove off without saying anything.
The atmosphere inside the car was too quiet. Qiao Xing didn't know if he was upset by refusing, and he struggled with whether or not to go.
She struggled all the way to the gate of the residential complex, but still couldn't make up her mind.
Instead, they ran into Qiao Hong at the door. The atmosphere was already tense, and Qiao Hong's appearance made it even worse.
Qin Ce pretended not to see him and drove past Qiao Hong. Qiao Hong didn't recognize his car either and continued to look around at the door.
After parking the car in the garage, before Qin Ce got out, Qiao Xing grabbed his arm and said resolutely, "How about I go with you?"
Qin Ce glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. Just stay in Chongqing."
Are you angry?
"No, I was just thinking about something."
Qin Ce was thinking that the reason Qin Liang hadn't made any moves during this time was probably because he had stayed in Yucheng and hadn't returned to the capital, so he hadn't posed any threat to Qin Liang.
Qin Liang had been calling him back, perhaps just testing him to see if he was truly interested in the Qin family.
Otherwise, he could have tied Qin Yi up and taken him back. If he really wanted him to go back, there were plenty of ways to get him back.
But this time I'm really going back, and I don't know what will happen.
She felt that Qiao Xing was not safe anywhere. Once he left, they would be separated by mountains and rivers, and he would not be able to take care of her. But if they went to Kyoto, it would be full of Qin Liang's forces, so it would probably be better to stay in Chongqing.
"Then I..."
Qin Ce said, "I've been thinking about it, you should stay in Chongqing. I'll introduce you to someone."
With that, he opened the car door, got out, and led Qiao Xing home.
The person he was talking about was none other than Xing Jiu.
When Qiao Xing saw him appear, he was completely shocked. Wasn't this the strange man he had seen at the hospital entrance before?
Who is he?
"Bodyguard Captain".
Upon hearing these four words, Qiao Xing finally understood what was going on.
This guy has been hiding quite a few things from her.
However, now was not the time to confront her, so she turned to look at Xing Jiu.
Xing Jiu immediately bowed to her, "Hello, Madam."
"No, please don't call me that, I'm not used to it." Qiao Xing got goosebumps when she heard that address.
“Then…” Xing Jiu glanced at Qin Ce and asked for his opinion.
Qin Ce gave him a look that said, "Do what you think is best."
Xing Jiu hesitated and asked, "Then... Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Xing frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, fine."
She can still accept this form of address.
Qin Ce said, "If you need anything while I'm not around, just look for him, or you can look for Han Yan."
Qiao Xing nodded, then looked at him with a conflicted expression, "Don't talk to me like you're giving your will, I'm scared."
The atmosphere was originally very serious, but Qin Ce couldn't help but laugh when she said that, but he only laughed for a second before stopping and saying very seriously to Qiao Xing, "I'm talking about serious business."
"Okay, I've got it."
Qin Ce thought for a moment and then added, "If you're scared living alone, go live with your aunt."
"good."
"Don't wander around at night."
"Um……"
"Where are you going? Ask Xing Jiu to take you."
"..."
He went on and on, giving me a lot of instructions, like not to drink alcohol or go to remote places, like a mother hen.
After he finished speaking, Qiao Xing asked him, "When are you leaving?"
"It's not decided yet, but it should be in the next day or two. If nothing major happens, I should be back within a week."
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, wanting to ask what if something serious happened?
But then he felt it was unlucky to ask, so he swallowed his words.
But Qin Ce seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Anyway, no matter what happens, I will try to come back within a month."
Qiao Xing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay."
Qin Ce stared at her, vaguely sensing her impatience, and didn't say anything more.
He winked at Xing Jiu, signaling that he could leave.
Xing Jiu nodded and left silently.
After Xing Jiu left, Qin Ce suddenly asked, "Has your period ended?"
