Chapter 452 Almost Collided
Seeing Qiao Xing's reaction, Shen Boyan knew he had made a fool of himself again. He picked up his chopsticks and ate in silence. He didn't say another word until the end of the meal.
Just as they were finishing their meal, Qin Ce suddenly received a phone call.
She had originally intended to pay, but she could only answer Qin Ce's call first.
The first thing Qin Ce asked her when the call connected was, "Have you gone back yet?"
"I'm going back right away, I just finished eating."
"With whom?"
Qiao Xing glanced at Shen Boyan, who was looking down at his phone across from her, and sighed helplessly, "Just a colleague."
I was fortunate enough to report to him in real time, but he asked who I was reporting to, and I had no idea what he was thinking.
"Shen Boyan?"
"Yes, you even remembered his name?" Qiao Xing asked with some curiosity. Upon hearing this, Shen Boyan, who was opposite her, subconsciously looked up at Qiao Xing.
"If there's anything you can't remember, go home early after you finish eating. It's too late, don't wander around outside."
"Okay, I'm getting ready to go back now."
"Okay, then we'll talk about it when you get back."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone. Shen Boyan had already paid and returned, and asked the waiter to bring takeout containers to pack up the leftovers.
He picked up the takeout box and said to Qiao Xing, "Shall we go?"
"Hmm." Qiao Xing picked up her things; she had eaten a bit too much, and she even let out two burps.
As they walked out of the mall, Shen Boyan suddenly handed her the takeout food he was carrying, asking, "Do you want some?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, "I don't want it, why are you giving it to me?"
"Oh, then I'll take it back and feed it to the dog."
"..."
A series of question marks flashed across Qiao Xing's mind. Was he calling him a dog?
Thinking about it, I don't think I offended him, so why is he scolding me?
Qiao Xing couldn't understand it any longer, and she angrily retorted, "You're the dog!"
Shen Boyan, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned around to look at her, completely bewildered. "Are you insulting me?"
Qiao Xing glared at him angrily, "You insulted me first. I didn't provoke you, so why did you insult me?"
Shen Boyan frowned, his mind blank for a moment, and only then did he seem to realize what was happening when he saw Qiao Xing's indignant gaze.
He explained, "I didn't insult you, I really did take it back to feed the dog."
"you……"
The way he was explaining so earnestly left Qiao Xing speechless for a moment. Even though he was explaining, it sounded like he was scolding her.
"Then you feed the dog, why are you asking me if I need anything?"
"If you want me to, I won't feed you."
Qiao Xing found that she seemed unable to communicate with him normally about anything other than work, and in the end, she gave up in the face of Shen Boyan's sincere gaze.
"Never mind, I'm going back now. You can go feed the dog."
"Okay, goodbye."
Shen Boyan carried the leftover food he had packed away and left without looking back. He hailed a car on the side of the road and left with great nonchalance.
Qiao Xing sighed, then turned around and searched everywhere for Xing Jiu.
After searching for a long time without finding him, his voice suddenly appeared behind Qiao Xing, "Miss Qiao, are you going back?"
He suddenly spoke, startling Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing turned around abruptly and saw Xing Jiu standing behind him with a fierce look on her face, which was even more frightening.
"Where did you come from?"
Xing Jiu didn't answer her, but took out her car keys and said, "I'll take you home."
Qiao Xing stared at him suspiciously, wondering if he could turn invisible.
Xing Jiu drove her home. At this time of day, there were fewer people and cars on the road.
Qiao Xing was dozing off in the car when suddenly the car jolted violently, causing her to lean forward and hit her forehead on the seat in front of her, making her dizzy.
She covered her forehead and looked up. "What's wrong?"
Xing Jiu didn't answer. He opened the car door and looked back.
Qiao Xing also turned his head to look behind him, but saw nothing.
What are you looking at?
Xing Jiu sat back in the car, fastened her seatbelt, and said in a deep voice, "A car just rushed towards us, and I thought we were going to crash into it."
Qiao Xing didn't see the danger just now, but he did.
The car turned a corner and sped onto this road, heading straight for his car. It was like someone who had drunk too much and turned into the wrong lane, but just before they were about to collide, it grazed past his car and returned to the road on the left.
When he looked back, the car was driving steadily and had slowed down, which didn't seem like drunk driving at all.
Qiao Xing didn't see it, so she didn't think it was too dangerous. She said, "Drive slowly."
"I'm already very slow."
"Isn't everything fine? Maybe he's just a new driver."
Xing Jiu didn't say anything. He drove Qiao Xing back to Tianxiang Shuiyuan as quickly as possible, and then got out of the car to check on him.
The left door was scratched, leaving a long scratch that extended all the way to the rear door, showing how dangerous the distance between the car and that vehicle was.
He immediately reported the incident to Qin Ce and even sent him photos of the scratched area.
Qin Ce frowned after looking at the photo.
If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence. According to Xing Jiu's description, given the other party's speed, if they were really drunk, there would definitely be an accident at that distance. How could they have avoided it so easily?
Moreover, the driver was drunk, and in his panicked state, even if he managed to avoid it, the car would still go out of control and crash into something else.
In addition, if you turn into the wrong lane, you will see it earlier and won't have to change lanes when you are about to crash into it.
All signs indicate that the other party did it on purpose and had excellent driving skills.
Qin Ce immediately dialed Xing Jiu's number, "Go check and find the driver of that car."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qin Ce hung up the phone and stared at the notebook on the table, lost in thought.
The next day, Qiao Xing went to work as usual.
She didn't really want to talk to Shen Boyan, so she didn't even bring breakfast and started working as soon as she put down her bag.
Shen Boyan wasn't particularly attached to eating; he wouldn't eat unless Qiao Xing took him. He worked until 10 o'clock and then went to sleep in the conference room.
This made the already quiet room even quieter, and Qiao Xing was a little unaccustomed to it all at once.
She ran to open the window, and having nothing else to do, she tidied up the room.
She had just finished tidying up and turned to get the mop when she saw Shen Boyan staring at her from the conference room door.
He crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, looking half-dead, like a ghost.
"Weren't you asleep?"
"You're too noisy."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "Is it noisy?"
What do you think?
"I'm sorry, I won't accept it. You should go to sleep." Qiao Xing saw that he hadn't slept all night, and that he should be so soundly that even thunder couldn't wake him. She didn't expect him to wake up so easily.
Shen Boyan sighed deeply, returned to the conference room, closed the door, lay down on the sofa, and went back to sleep.
Qiao Xing pursed her lips, returned to her seat, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost time to go buy groceries.
She took the electric scooter keys and went out to buy groceries. Since it was just her and Shen Boyan, they didn't need to buy so much.
