Chapter 428 He's angry
These words truly left Qiao Hong speechless, unable to find a reply for a long time.
Qiao Xing said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving."
After saying that, she pulled Qin Ce away. Qiao Hong was too embarrassed to chase after them. He also realized that just pestering them like this was useless and he had to think of another way.
But the thought of going back to face Cao Yun made him absolutely unwilling to go back.
He's gotten smarter these past few days, and he usually comes home late at night, by which time Cao Yun is already asleep. He leaves before dawn in the morning. Since they're sleeping in separate rooms now, they don't have to argue if they don't see each other.
After they had all walked away, Qiao Xing said to Qin Ce, "Don't pay any attention to him anymore."
"Yeah, I didn't pay any attention to him anyway."
As Qiao Xing spoke, her expression became complicated again, "I always cause you trouble because of these things..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ce interrupted her, "It's no trouble, and it's not a big deal. Let's go, don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."
Qiao Xing nodded. He was leaving tomorrow, and today was just one day, so it was best not to waste it on these things.
The two walked along the path for a while, then strolled around the nearby square. They ate lunch and dinner outside.
They didn't get back until after 9 p.m., and Qin Ce was carrying a lot of things, most of which Qiao Xing had bought for the old man.
Since she wanted to spend money, Qin Ce couldn't stop her, so he had to change his small suitcase to a large one.
Qiao Xing set five alarms to take him to school in the morning, and went to sleep as soon as she got home at night, and locked the door from the inside.
I locked the door yesterday because I was angry, and I'm locking it today so I won't be bothered by him and can get up earlier.
So much so that when Qiao Xing woke up the next day, she saw that Qin Ce's resentment was heavier than that of a ghost.
She pretended not to see him, went over and took his coat for him, saying, "Let's go."
Qin Ce glanced at her sideways, expressing his extreme displeasure. She locked him out the day before she left. What kind of nonsense was that?
Qiao Xing coughed, "Hey, stop dawdling, let's hurry up, or we'll miss our flight."
She pulled Qin Ce outside, and the two went downstairs, where Xiao Li was already waiting.
Upon seeing the two approach, he immediately got out to retrieve their luggage and opened the car door for them.
"Good morning, Mrs. Qin, the boss."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. She was still not used to the unexpected title and felt so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground.
She forced a smile and got into the car with Qin Ce.
Qin Ce ignored her, didn't speak to her, and didn't even look at her; he seemed genuinely angry.
Qiao Xing tugged at his sleeve, "Message me when you get there."
Qin Ce looked outside without saying a word.
"Hey, you..." Realizing that Xiao Li was in front, Qiao Xing lowered her voice and said, "Are you angry?"
Qin Ce glanced at her, giving her a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."
Qiao Xing bit her lip and hugged his arm. "Don't be angry anymore. I won't lock you out anymore, okay?"
Although she kept her voice down, Xiao Li in the front still heard her, so he listened intently to the gossip while driving.
"Swear it."
"...You're even swearing an oath?"
Qin Ce stared at her, his meaning clear.
Qiao Xing sighed helplessly, "Fine, I swear, if I lock you out again, I'll be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ce covered his mouth with his large hand. He frowned and said, "Fine, I'll believe you this time."
Qiao Xing grinned and pulled his hand away. "So you're not angry anymore?"
"Let me think about it."
"This is really difficult," Qiao Xing shook her head. The longer she spent with him, the further away that aloof persona became.
She still prefers the man who used to ignore her.
Xiao Li had heard enough gossip and had a pretty good idea of how the two of them got along at home.
This completely changed his impression of President Qin. He drove incredibly fast, eager to get to the airport and share the gossip he had heard with his colleagues.
"President Qin, we've arrived."
He ran over to open the car door, always opening the door for Qiao Xing first. This small gesture revealed his understanding of human relationships.
But Qiao Xing didn't care about any of that. After she got out of the car, Qin Ce opened the car door and got out himself.
Xiao Li was carrying a suitcase behind him, typing rapidly on his phone in one hand.
Qiao Xing, who was walking ahead, told him again, "Remember to message me when you arrive."
"Um."
"Please give my regards to Grandpa."
"good."
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, but it seemed like he didn't have anything to say.
While Xiao Li went to check in, Qin Ce turned to Qiao Xing and said, "Take good care of yourself."
"I know, you've said that hundreds of times."
Qin Ce twitched the corners of his mouth, said nothing more, reached out and pulled Qiao Xing into his arms, giving her a hug.
Xiao Li handed him the boarding pass, and Qin Ce took it and went to the security checkpoint.
Qiao Xing watched his figure disappear through the security checkpoint before a sense of loss arose within her.
Having gotten used to being with someone, suddenly becoming alone is really hard to adjust to.
Xiao Li said from the side, "Boss lady, let me take you home. President Qin is just going on a business trip and will be back soon."
Qiao Xing nodded and went to the parking lot with Xiao Li. She didn't go straight back, but went to the company instead.
Before leaving, Xiao Li asked for her WeChat ID, telling her to call him anytime if she needed anything.
After the two added each other on WeChat, Qiao Xing put away her phone and got out of the car.
No sooner had she gotten off the bus than Tao Yang appeared out of nowhere on an electric scooter and braked suddenly, stopping right in front of her.
He stared at the Bentley as it drove away, then looked at Qiao Xing in utter shock. "No way, Qiao Xing, you came in a Bentley?"
"Uh..." Qiao Xing was caught red-handed and couldn't think of an explanation for a moment.
Seeing Tao Yang looking at her with the same eyes he had for a goddess, Qiao Xing rubbed her nose and forced herself to explain, "I was waiting for a car by the roadside when this car stopped in front of me and said it would give me a ride, so I got in."
"Oh, I see. Then he's probably trying to pick you up. Aren't you already married?"
Now that she explained, Tao Yang's gaze towards her changed again.
"You're married, does that mean you can't ride in someone else's car?"
Qiao Xing didn't want to explain anymore, so she just went along with what he said. Anyway, she was just here to work, not to date, so let them think what they wanted.
“That’s true.” Tao Yang nodded seriously. It was none of his business whose car Qiao Xing rode in. “Let’s go up together.”
"good."
The two went upstairs together, and the moment she opened the door, the smell of smoke inside almost made her faint.
The first thing Qiao Xing did after putting down his things was to open the window and the door to let in fresh air.
The two people inside were completely absorbed in their own world, seemingly oblivious to everything around them. Shen Boyan had only taken off the cigarette after it had burned halfway down his lips and ash had fallen onto his clothes. He then patted the ash off his clothes.
Qiao Xing looked down from his position and saw that the ground was covered in cigarette ash.
Spending too much time with Qin Ce triggered her OCD, and she immediately went to the bathroom to get a mop and broom.
"Get up, all of you," Qiao Xing said, dragging Shen Boyan to his side.
Shen Boyan was taken aback, and seeing what she was doing, he silently stood up.
Qiao Xing chased all three of them to the window. They stared at Qiao Xing, then looked at each other in bewilderment.
