Chapter 468 is also quite good.
Qiao Xinggang hurriedly said, "Everyone's gone, let's not talk about this anymore. Qin Ce, didn't you say you were going to take me out for a walk? Let's go now, or it'll get dark."
Wang Yu swallowed her anger, her expression remaining largely unchanged, and accepted Qiao Xing's offer.
"Yes, Xingxing hasn't gone out yet, has she? It's still early, she can go out for a stroll. Xiao Ce, why don't you take her?"
There was really nothing more to say, so Qin Ce didn't continue. He took Qiao Xing's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out."
Qiao Xing nodded and followed him out of the villa. Once they got into the car, Qiao Xing felt the air was fresh.
She turned to look at Qin Ce. He had no expression, but she could tell he wasn't in a good mood.
Qiao Xing put her hand on her arm. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
She could only sense the tension in Qin Ce and Wang Yu's conversation, but she couldn't quite make out what they were arguing about. It seemed like Qin Ce was being impolite to the guest, but it didn't quite seem like it was about that particular issue.
Qin Ce shook his head. "It's okay. I'll just show you around the neighborhood. There's not much to do here."
Qiao Xing said "Oh," but then asked worriedly, "You offended that auntie just now, are you really okay?"
"It's alright, next time you encounter something like this, don't be shy."
Qiao Xing was completely confused. "Which one?"
Qin Ce paused, then suddenly looked at Qiao Xing, "Don't you know what it means when she gave you the bracelet?"
"What do you mean... It's so expensive, I definitely wouldn't dare accept it. She was just ripped off, so you don't have to look down on her stuff."
As Qiao Xing spoke, she noticed his increasingly subtle expression and hesitated to continue. "Could it be that there's something else going on?"
Qin Ce stared at her for a moment, his previous seriousness gone, replaced by a helpless laugh.
"No, that's fine too."
"Everything is fine?" Qiao Xing suddenly had an idea. "I know. Next time someone gives me something, I'll just accept it. What I think is expensive might be worth only a few dollars to someone else."
Qin Ce nodded in agreement, "That's right, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're happy."
"If someone gives you something, it's something you deserve to receive; don't feel pressured."
"Okay, I've got it."
After all, she is now Qin Ce's wife, and she can't embarrass him. Giving him anything expensive is worthy of her.
Qin Ce seemed to have calmed down. He drove the car out and drove along the roads of the capital.
Seeing Qiao Xing's troubled expression earlier, I thought she was unhappy because she had been given a hard time. Now it seems I was overthinking it. She was just struggling with whether or not to accept the money because it was too expensive.
So he thought it was fine; even if he couldn't understand, it meant he had fewer worries.
Qiao Xing turned to look at the scenery outside, which consisted of identical high-rise buildings, with no difference between them.
Moreover, because of the holiday, the roads were incredibly congested, and she was already feeling carsick and about to vomit before she even started shopping, so she had no desire to continue.
She told Qin Ce to stop the car immediately, but there was no way to park there; the road in front and behind was completely blocked.
Qin Ce rummaged through the storage compartment and pulled out a packaging bag for her. "If you can't hold it in, throw up in here first. I'll find a place to stop up ahead."
Qiao Xing took the bag. She could still hold it in for now; she didn't want to throw up in the car.
After crawling at a snail's pace for over two hundred meters, I came across a plaza, but unfortunately the electronic screen on the gate showed that all the parking spaces were full, so I couldn't get in.
We could only drive forward.
Qiao Xing swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to vomit, and said, "Why is it even more congested than Chongqing?"
"They're all pretty much the same; traffic jams are everywhere during holidays."
"It's far from that. In Chongqing, traffic jams only occur at tourist attractions. Here, we've been stuck in traffic since we left, and I haven't even seen any tourist attractions."
Qin Ce thought about it and realized that it made sense; he should have known better than to come out.
"Don't go out for the next couple of days. I'll take you out to play later."
Qiao Xing nodded in agreement. She couldn't take it anymore and grabbed the packaging bag to vomit. She vomited so violently that it was like the world was turning upside down. She hadn't eaten lunch yet, and nothing came out when she vomited, making her feel even worse.
Qin Ce unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Qiao Xing drank a few mouthfuls of water, which made her feel a little better.
She really had no desire to go shopping anymore; all she wanted now was a bed to get a good night's sleep.
Qiao Xing lay dozing in the passenger seat. After passing through the most congested section of the road, Qin Ce chose another route, which was slightly better.
It's unclear how long it took before Qiao Xing was finally woken up by him.
Qiao Xing rubbed his eyes, opened them, and saw that the buildings in this place were rather old, and there were no tall buildings like before; it looked like an old town.
"How did you get here?"
Qin Ce said, "It's not congested here, and the food is alright."
He opened the car door and invited her to get out, leading her through these streets full of historical atmosphere. There were actually a lot of people here, but it was better than in the city.
What food is available here?
"Go and see for yourself."
Qiao Xing followed beside him, watching him navigate these places with ease, and couldn't help but ask, "You haven't been back much, how do you know these places so well?"
"I asked Qin Yi, and he knows."
Qiao Xing suddenly realized and nodded in understanding, "I see."
As Qiao Xing walked around, she didn't feel like eating anything, and there were many things she couldn't eat anyway.
After wandering around for a while, Qin Ce finally chose a place, a small restaurant. There weren't many people there because it was past lunchtime.
He ordered some light, home-style dishes. Qiao Xing didn't have much of an appetite at first, but after tasting his yellow croaker soup, she suddenly had a great appetite and ate two bowls of rice.
Most importantly, it was incredibly cheap. We ordered six dishes for less than 100 yuan, which is more than the cost of gas alone.
"Are you full?"
Qiao Xing nodded, rubbing her slightly full stomach. "I think I ate too much."
"Then let's go for a walk before driving."
"Uh-huh."
Qin Ce glanced at her stomach from time to time, but Qiao Xing's clothes were loose, so nothing could be seen.
When someone rides past him on a bicycle, he will instinctively pull Qiao Xing into his arms.
Although it was just a very subtle gesture, Qiao Xing couldn't help but be moved.
She thought of Lin Yu again, whom she hadn't thought of in a long time. Back then, that person had also used these little tricks to win her over.
He always did things exceptionally well in every little detail, showing meticulous care, which gave her the illusion that he was utterly in love with her.
At first, she saw online that you shouldn't be after a man's kindness, because if he stops being kind to you, you'll lose everything.
Qiao Xing didn't believe it at first, but Lin Yu later proved the truth of his words with his actions.
Later, she saw online that people shouldn't look for those who are only nice to you, but rather those who are inherently good, because they have seen a lot of things and are still willing to be nice to you, which means they are truly good and the chances of them changing their minds are very small.
