Chapter 426 We haven't showered together yet.
"Yeah, I'm leaving." Qiao Xing nodded subconsciously, then realized what she meant and looked at him speechlessly. "Why did you change the subject so quickly?"
Qin Ce looked at her resentfully, "You think I'm long-winded? Let's talk about something more interesting."
"Not interested." Qiao Xing stood up and was about to go to the kitchen, but he suddenly pulled her back. In a dizzying moment, she collapsed onto the sofa.
Qiao Xing's expression changed slightly, and she nudged him, "What are you doing... cooking!"
"Do it later."
His hands wandered to her waist, and his movements as he took off her clothes became increasingly practiced.
"You haven't showered, oh you..."
Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, he was suddenly spun around again and picked up by him.
She gasped and grabbed the man's neck, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you want to take a shower?" Qin Ce thought for a moment, then picked her up and strode towards the bathroom. "We've never showered together before, let's try it."
"I can wash myself, put me down!"
"I'll help you wash it."
Qiao Xing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the hot air instantly flushed her face red. Her voice also softened, "I... I'm not used to showering with someone else."
Qin Ce put her down, closed the bathroom door behind him, and turned off the lights, leaving only a dim, warm lamp on.
"So you won't be shy anymore?"
Qiao Xing felt a chill run down her spine. She wanted to run, but the man locked the door first.
He pulled her into his arms, leaned down slightly, kissed her lips, and whispered, "Shall we shower together?"
A sexy, magnetic voice brushed past her ear, carrying a hint of seduction. Qiao Xing's ears itched, and she turned her head away, not daring to look into his eyes.
With the atmosphere already set, Qiao Xing didn't want to spoil the mood, so she reluctantly nodded.
Qin Ce then released her with relief and led her towards the shower room.
The bathing he mentioned wasn't just a simple bath; he was taking a bath with ulterior motives.
They showered for almost two hours, exploring some new ways to bathe. After the shower, Qiao Xing didn't want to move a single finger.
In the end, Qin Ce carried her out of the bathroom, placed her on the sofa, and brushed her wet hair aside. "Don't lie down, your hair isn't dry."
Her hair, which had only reached her shoulders, was wet and clung to her face, making her face appear even smaller.
Qiao Xing, wrapped in a bath towel, sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking listlessly at the energetic man in front of her. "I'm hungry."
"Then I'll go cook first." He placed the hairdryer next to him. "You can dry your hair yourself later."
Qiao Xing nodded, feeling sleepy and wanting to go to sleep.
When Qin Ce finished cooking in the kitchen, she was already asleep on the sofa.
He sighed, went over and woke Qiao Xing up, telling her to eat.
I don't know if it was because he was leaving or because Qiao Xing's period was lasting too long, but after dinner, back in the room, he dragged Qiao Xing to work on their relationship for half the night.
As a result, Qiao Xing didn't get up until noon the next day.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. The alarm had been turned off by that man again. It was almost midnight. She checked her messages, but there were no important ones. She pulled the covers back up and took a nap.
Qiao Xing was woken up by hunger in the afternoon and had no choice but to drag her tired body out of bed to find something to eat in the refrigerator.
Qin Ce seemed to have anticipated that she wouldn't be able to get up at noon, so there were prepared dishes in the refrigerator, sealed tightly with plastic wrap.
The rice cooker was still warming the rice; it wasn't unplugged.
Qin Ce had anticipated that she wouldn't be able to get up at noon, but he hadn't expected her to get up so late. When he returned, Qiao Xing was sitting at the dining table eating lunch.
"Did you just get up?" Qin Ce asked as he took off his coat and walked toward the dining room.
Qiao Xing felt awkward seeing him; she didn't know whether to eat or not.
"How about we have dinner together?"
Qin Ce was silent for two seconds, then casually draped his coat over the chair, went to the restroom to wash his hands, and came out to sit at the dining table.
He ate dinner, while Qiao Xing ate both lunch and dinner.
Eating two meals as one is such a great deal!
Halfway through the meal, Qin Ce suddenly said, "I'm going to the capital the day after tomorrow."
Qiao Xing paused, the food in her mouth suddenly losing its flavor. She said "Oh," and added, "Then I'll pack your things for you later."
"We'll only be gone for a few days, so there's no need to pack."
Do you have a change of clothes in the capital?
"Just buy it."
Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, but what he said made sense. "That's true, anyway, you have money."
This sounded somewhat sullen, and it wasn't really about expressing his wealth, but rather a lament about the difference in their social status.
Qin Ce stopped eating. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Qiao Xing seriously. "I'll be back soon."
Qiao Xing smiled at him, "I know, you've said it hundreds of times, just go. Don't make it sound like a life-or-death situation. I'm not a three-year-old, I can take care of myself."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the two of them have hardly been apart since they got married, and they are still so far apart.
After they finished eating, Qiao Xing cleared the table and said, "Are you sure you don't want me to help you clean up?"
This time Qin Ce did not refuse, "Just bring two items."
Qiao Xing found a small suitcase, which was the one she used; it was pink, and this was the only small one she could find.
She showed it to Qin Ce and asked for his opinion, "Is this okay?"
"OK."
Qiao Xing then took his suitcase and went to his study, where most of his clothes were still kept.
Because the bedroom wardrobe was full of Qiao Xing's clothes, there was no room left for him.
Since all his clothes were pretty much the same, Qiao Xing casually grabbed two black suits and folded them up for him.
But while folding a pair of trousers, something suddenly fell out from under her feet.
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick it up and saw that it was an ID card.
It's her ID card!
Qin Ce was right behind her. He sensed something was wrong when the identity card fell out, but it was too late.
Qiao Xing, holding the ID card, turned to him and asked, "How come my ID is in your pocket?"
"Aren't you going to say it's already lost?"
Qin Ce actually wanted to make excuses, but when he met Qiao Xing's questioning gaze, he chose to honestly admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, you keep ignoring me, and I can't think of any other way."
"So you hid my ID card?"
Qin Ce pursed his lips and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"You..." Qiao Xing suddenly choked, unable to catch her breath, she forced back her emotions, "Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me?"
"That doesn't count; that's something we did before we made up."
"Qin Ce!"
Qiao Xing wasn't that angry at first, but those words ignited his anger.
"You really are..." Qiao Xing couldn't find the words to express her feelings for a long time. She angrily threw the clothes in her hand at Qin Ce, "You can clean them yourself!"
After saying that, she stormed out of the study.
Qin Ce tossed the clothes into his suitcase and quickly chased after Qiao Xing, grabbing her wrist.
