Chapter 474 It's you?
The room fell into darkness, and Qin Ce noticed that she was unhappy, so he climbed into bed in the dark again.
Before she could even lie down, Qiao Xing pushed her down, saying, "Go sleep on the floor!"
Qin Ce stood by the bed and reached out to touch her shoulder. "Are you really angry?"
Qiao Xing slapped his hand away, "No, you go to sleep!"
Qin Ce sighed, silently returned to the ground, and didn't provoke her again.
Qiao Xing didn't know how she fell asleep. She was woken up by the alarm clock the next day, and she sat up in bed rubbing her eyes.
Looking down at the ground, Qin Ce was gone, and so was the blanket.
She quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed to wash up in the bathroom. Now she dared not use anything and could only wash herself with water.
She changed her clothes before leaving the room.
She ran into Qin Yi at the stairwell, and Qin Yi greeted her, "Sister-in-law, you're up so early?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "Where's Qin Ce?"
"I don't know, maybe downstairs. Let's go down together."
"OK."
The two went downstairs together. The servants in the villa were noticeably busier because guests would be arriving later. It wasn't a big birthday celebration, but preparations still needed to be made.
Wang Yu was also busy directing them to work. When she saw Qiao Xing, she greeted her with a smile, "Xingxing, you're up? You guys go to the restaurant to eat by yourselves. I can't take care of you now."
"Auntie, you're busy, don't worry about us."
"Alright, then you can do as you please."
Qiao Xing and Qin Yi arrived at the restaurant, where there was no one else except Qin Ji, who had already finished eating and was walking out.
He met Qiao Xing briefly, and only politely greeted her as "Sister-in-law".
"Good morning."
Qin Ji gave a perfunctory smile and walked past the two of them.
The maid took away Qin Ji's tableware, and after Qiao Xing and Qin Yi sat down, the maid immediately brought them their breakfast.
Qiao Xing looked at the breakfast laid out in front of her; hers was different from Qin Yi's.
Why are ours different?
Qin Yi picked up a meat bun from the plate, took a bite, and mumbled, "You didn't say anything beforehand, so you just made it haphazardly."
Qiao Xing looked down at the breakfast in front of her again. She didn't know what kind of porridge it was, but it looked a bit like the bird's nest porridge Qin Cen had bought for her last time. There was also a chicken breast and egg white sandwich, and stir-fried broccoli and shrimp. That was all.
The maid behind him said, "This is the breakfast that the young master ordered."
Qiao Xing was surprised. She hadn't expected it to be Qin Ce's order. No wonder, she had said that whatever was prepared was food she could eat.
"Okay, thank you."
Qiao Xing picked up her bowl and spoon to eat breakfast, but she smelled the pan-fried buns in Qin Yi's bowl and felt a little tempted. She poked Qin Yi's arm.
"Can I have one?"
Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, but generously picked one up and gave it to her.
"Thank you." Qiao Xing picked up a pan-fried bun, took a bite, and found it tasted good, but the grease inside made her nauseous.
She only ate one bite, and didn't dare to eat the rest.
Qin Yi ate quickly; before she had even finished her bowl of porridge, he had already finished his breakfast.
The maid brought him mouthwash, and he rinsed his mouth a couple of times before getting up to leave the restaurant.
"Sister-in-law, please eat slowly, I've finished eating."
"OK."
Qiao Xing sat alone in the restaurant, slowly eating her breakfast.
Just as we were finishing our meal, we suddenly heard someone at the door call out "Miss".
She subconsciously looked over and saw Qin Fei walking in from outside. She had never met Qin Fei before, but she guessed her identity just by looking at her.
Qin Fei also saw her, and instantly her listless appearance became energetic. She stared at Qiao Xing for a long time, as if she wanted to see her through everything.
Qiao Xing, feeling her gaze fixed on her, also lost her appetite. She put down her spoon, stood up, and greeted Qin Fei, "Hello."
Qin Fei seemed to only just realize what was happening. She continued walking into the restaurant, her eyes never leaving Qiao Xing, just like a leader on an inspection tour.
"It's you?" She walked up to Qiao Xing and finally spoke.
"What?"
Qin Fei said, "You're the one from Yucheng Township, Qin Ce's wife, aren't you?"
Qiao Xing frowned. She came from Chongqing, but when did Chongqing become a rural area?
But thinking about it, the place where Grandma used to live really was in the countryside. "It's me, my name is Qiao..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Fei interrupted her, "I know your name is Qiao Xing."
Qin Fei shifted her gaze to the breakfast in front of her and gave a mocking laugh, "Ha, bird's nest porridge, huh? Have you ever had it before?"
Qiao Xing could tell that this person was difficult to get along with.
"I've never had it."
"Is it good?"
"good."
Qin Fei clicked her tongue, her disdain deepening. "Sure enough, a wild boar can't eat fine chaff. If you hadn't been so lucky as to marry Qin Ce, you probably would never have eaten this kind of food in your entire life."
The girl looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair and clean features, but the words she spoke were so offensive that Qiao Xing was quite angry.
However, Qiao Xing didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Ce in this situation. She forced a smile and said to Qin Fei, "You're right, I'm just lucky. But these things aren't necessary. Rice porridge and bird's nest porridge are just food. Eating more won't make you grow an extra head."
Qin Fei was taken aback by her words and said irritably, "To someone like you, there really is no difference; you can't tell the difference between good and bad."
Qiao Xing didn't want to get entangled with her, so he nodded and said, "Yes, then you can eat slowly, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the restaurant, leaving Qin Fei alone in the restaurant, angry.
She said those things simply to see Qiao Xing humiliated and ashamed, but she ended up hitting a brick wall and getting angry herself instead.
That woman has such a thick skin!
Qin Fei was so angry that she didn't even want to eat.
The maid brought the food over, but she just pushed it away, scattering food all over the table. "I'm not eating it, it's bad luck!"
Qiao Xing walked out of the restaurant to get some fresh air, and she saw Qin Ce coming from that direction.
Although she tried her best to hide her expression, Qin Ce could still tell at a glance that she looked a little unwell.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just ate a bit too much, so I came out for a walk."
Qin Ce looked at her suspiciously for a moment, "Do you need me to come with you?"
"No need, you go ahead and do your work, I'll just take a walk."
"Don't go too far."
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then turned and went inside. When he saw Qin Fei coming out of the restaurant, something flashed in his eyes.
He stopped a servant and asked, "What just happened in the restaurant?"
The maid glanced at Qin Fei, who was going upstairs, and only told Qin Ce what had happened after she left.
Qin Ce's face darkened further after hearing this.
He waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave. The servant bowed and retreated.
Qiao Xing was unaware of all this. She walked along the marble path for a while, but it wasn't very interesting. However, her anger had subsided considerably, so she turned back.
But before she even reached the door, she suddenly heard someone call her name from behind.
