Chapter 473 Maintaining a Safe Distance
"Delete what?"
He pretended to be stupid again, as if to say, "You have no evidence."
Qiao Xing didn't want to argue with him, but she couldn't swallow her anger. She angrily pounced on Qin Ce, grabbing his neck and shaking him wildly.
"Give me back my photos, you bastard!"
She wasn't very strong, but it was still uncomfortable for her to be shaken. Qin Ce grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
Before Qiao Xing could get up, the man's large hands grabbed her and pressed her head down.
"Stop fooling around."
Qiao Xing struggled a couple of times, but when she saw the man's face above her, she froze for a moment and suddenly realized that this position was somewhat embarrassing.
"You, you let me go," she said awkwardly.
Qin Ce stared at her for a while. She was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and when she raised her arms, half of her fair waist was exposed.
Moreover, her chest was quite proud.
His gaze grew increasingly intense, sending chills down Qiao Xing's spine.
Qiao Xing swallowed hard and said cautiously, "You, you, you, let me go right now, I'm pregnant..."
Upon hearing the word "pregnant woman," Qin Ce instantly lost interest and even felt a sense of despair. He reluctantly released Qiao Xing.
"What should we do?"
Qiao Xing feigned ignorance, "What do you mean, what should we do?"
Qin Ce stared at her intently, his gaze a mixture of helplessness and a desire to punish her on the spot.
Qiao Xing didn't dare tease him anymore and quickly picked up her phone to show him, "Just watch the live stream."
Anyway, she has backups of those photos, so there's no need to be really angry. She just definitely can't let him find them again this time.
The stories shared with fans during the live stream were so captivating, almost unbelievable, yet they were incredibly cathartic.
Now the fan has changed; it's also a woman, but this woman is forty years old.
Qin Ce turned his head and heard the woman on the phone say that her husband had illegitimate children outside, and there were two of them. She also said that her husband was very good at making money, earning tens of millions a year.
They went from school uniforms to wedding dresses, were married for decades, and had a twenty-year-old child. But last year, she discovered that her husband's illegitimate child was already ten years old.
After so many years of marriage, the feelings between them have long since faded. However, she and her husband built their business from scratch and achieved what they have today. She doesn't want to divorce and let someone else benefit, but she can't swallow her anger if she doesn't divorce him. She wants to ask the host what to do.
The anchor suggested that she collect evidence to divorce and try to get the best possible outcome, or not divorce and pretend she didn't know anything, and try to get her husband to write a will.
Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce subconsciously.
Noticing her gaze, Qin Ce became more wary. "Why are you looking at me?"
Qiao Xing said, "I just feel, is the shelf life of feelings really that short?"
This woman and her husband have been dating since they were in school, and her husband is still cheating on her with other women, which makes Qiao Xing worry about her and Qin Ce's future.
She and Qin Ce didn't have that deep a relationship.
Qin Ce said, "It varies from person to person, don't overthink it."
“But…” Qiao Xing sighed worriedly, then thought for a moment and said to Qin Ce, “If you have another woman in the future, can you tell me?”
What nonsense are you spouting?
Qiao Xing seemed not to hear him and continued, "I won't share the assets with you, just give me one million."
"..."
"Stop watching, or you'll become abnormal." Qin Ce took her phone again, left the live stream, and even blocked the streamer for her.
Qiao Xing sighed, "What are you doing? I just wanted to tell you in advance."
Qin Ce said, "If it were really as you say, I wouldn't marry you, and it would be impossible for me to marry you, do you understand?"
"not understand."
"Because it's not your turn." Qin Ce said it bluntly, but it was the truth, and Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment.
“A person’s character doesn’t change with age, unless he is that kind of person by nature. If we follow your logic, at my age now, I don’t know how many times I’ve been married.”
His words made Qiao Xing realize something; what he said seemed to make sense.
If he couldn't resist temptation, would he still be thirty years old and have never been in a relationship?
With his looks and resources, the number of girlfriends or ex-wives he's had could circle the Earth.
Do you think their relationship is very deep, from school uniforms to wedding dresses? How old were they back then? They were not mature enough and had never explored anything about the outside world. In the big melting pot of society, how many people can hold on to their original intentions?
On the contrary, I think it's often people like them who are most prone to problems in relationships and marriage.
Qiao Xing listened attentively to his words and was successfully persuaded.
"You're really amazing."
"What?"
Qiao Xing said, "I can't argue with you."
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'm going to sleep."
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Qiao Xing hugged his waist and said, "Don't be angry. I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Qin Ce glanced at her sideways.
"I was overthinking it. A good man like you, who has been refined by time, would never do such a thing."
Qin Ce removed her hand. "Then stop trying to seduce me."
Qiao Xing choked, then her face turned red again, "Who seduced you!"
"Don't you know I've been holding back for a long time?"
"..."
Qiao Xing was truly afraid to provoke him again. She awkwardly withdrew her hand and moved away from him, saying, "Let's go to sleep."
Qin Ce turned off the light and went to sleep feeling depressed.
Qiao Xing slept all afternoon, but now she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. She tossed and turned for a long time, which made it impossible for Qin Ce to sleep either.
He turned on the light again, sat up, and stared at Qiao Xing for a moment.
Qiao Xing felt a little guilty. "Um, I can't sleep. Maybe I should go downstairs and not stay in bed."
"Need not."
Qin Ce threw off the covers, got up and went to the dressing room. He came out a little while later, but this time he had an extra blanket in his arms.
Qiao Xing stared blankly at him.
I watched as he spread the blanket on the floor, took the pillow off the bed, and lay down.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Ce closed his eyes. "Maintain a safe distance."
"What safe distance? Are you going to sleep in a separate bed from me? I won't move around too much."
Qin Ce opened his eyes again and turned to look at the bed. "It's not safe for you to stay still."
"Aren't you supposed to have good self-control? We used to lie in the same bed and nothing happened, didn't we?"
Haven't you heard the saying?
"What did you say?"
"It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
Qiao Xing moved the corners of her mouth speechlessly, unable to find a word to refute him.
Qin Ce suddenly said, "How about we just get rid of this child?"
Qiao Xing tossed her own pillow to him, saying, "You can sleep on the floor!"
Qin Ce reached out and caught the pillow, then handed it back to her, saying, "Just kidding, don't be angry."
Qiao Xing glared at him, snatched back the pillow, and turned off the light.
