Chapter 486 Starts Talking Nonsense Right Away
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then replied: Yeah, I just arrived.
Tao Yang: That's great! Finally, we don't have to eat takeout anymore. Ever since you started cooking for us, we really can't eat any of that takeout.
Qiao Xingguang could tell just by reading the text how excited Tao Yang was.
She didn't know how to explain that she wasn't going to work. Should she just say she was quitting the company?
Or are you saying you need to take a year off?
Qiao Xing sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then typed a reply: I might not be coming to the company very often in the future.
Tao Yang: Why?
Qiao Xing: My grandpa is back, so I have to stay home with him.
Tao Yang then remembered that when he asked Shen Boyan where she had gone, Shen Boyan told him that Qiao Xing had gone to the capital to visit relatives, and that her grandfather was receiving medical treatment there.
Tao Yang expressed his understanding and replied to Qiao Xing: "That's alright, taking care of the elderly is the priority. You can come again when your grandfather is feeling better."
Moreover, she's married now, so she definitely needs to prioritize her family. In any case, we have to respect other people's choices.
Qiao Xing was surprised that they were so easy to talk to, and her heart was a little less conflicted.
She could discuss with Qin Ce about not going to work. She could go occasionally, right?
Qiao Xing put away her phone, got up and walked out of the bedroom. Outside, the doctor was taking the old man's blood pressure and blood sugar. Qiao Xing didn't know the doctor's name.
"What's your name, doctor?"
The doctor looked up at Qiao Xing and casually said, "Oh, my name is Chen Feng, just call me Xiao Chen."
This young man, Xiao Chen, looked older than her, and she felt a little awkward calling him Xiao Chen Qiao Xing.
"Dr. Chen, after such a long car ride, is Grandpa alright?"
"It's alright, he's relatively stable. As for the old man's illness, as long as he maintains a cheerful mood, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Qiao Xing nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.
The old man also said, "See, I told you it was nothing. You two are just worrying about nothing."
Qiao Xing smiled and agreed.
They drove so slowly on their way back that he couldn't take it anymore and had to stay at the hotel to rest almost every night.
Now that he's back, he's completely forgotten.
However, Qiao Xing was relieved to have arrived in Chongqing safely.
As the two were chatting, Qin Ce returned, along with Yang Han. As soon as Yang Han entered the door, she ran over without even changing her shoes.
"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time! You've grown even more beautiful."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment.
Before he could speak, he went to the old man's side again, "Grandpa Qin, it's been so long since I've seen you. Are you having fun in Beijing?"
After saying that, seeing the old man's wheelchair, he added, "It seems that life is better in the capital. Even the cane has been replaced by a wheelchair, and there is a person pushing the wheelchair. Now he doesn't even have to walk."
The old man glared at Yang Han, both amused and annoyed. "I'd like to walk, but you brat, you start spouting nonsense as soon as you arrive."
Yang Han grinned, "You're already this old, why walk? You can have someone push you wherever you want to go. I've been thinking about getting a wheelchair, so I can go wherever I want and back up, it'll be so convenient."
"Why are you in a wheelchair at such a young age?"
"Who says you can't use a wheelchair at a young age? It's so nice not to have to walk by yourself. Seriously, I'm not kidding. If I wasn't afraid of my dad beating me, I would really like to get one."
The old man glanced at him speechlessly, too lazy to discuss the topic. "What are you doing here? We barely walked in, and you came as soon as you smelled the fumes."
“I was born in the Year of the Dog, and I could smell you before you even arrived in Chongqing.”
The old man chuckled, "You rascal."
Yang Han laughed along, then looked around. "Where's Qin Yi? Didn't that guy come with us?"
What's he doing here?
"I still want to settle accounts with him. He betrayed my teammates, making me make a wasted trip to Haishi. I didn't even win the championship, and I got scolded by my dad. Shouldn't he compensate me for my emotional distress?"
The old man didn't understand the hobbies of young people, and he knew Yang Han was just joking. So the old man went along with him and asked, "Then how do you want him to compensate you?"
"He didn't come, so forget it. Anyway, Lao Qin is here. He can cook me a meal, and that will be my way of making amends for Qin Yi."
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, and since they were already so familiar with each other, Yang Han didn't need her to serve him. She could get herself water and fruit if she wanted. So Qiao Xing turned around and went to the kitchen.
Qin Ce was washing vegetables in the kitchen when Qiao Xing walked over and took the tomatoes out of the bag. "Let me help you."
"No need, you can sit outside." Qin Ce took the colander and tomatoes from her hands and placed them in front of him.
Qiao Xing looked at his expression but couldn't tell anything. She hesitated, unsure how to speak.
Qin Ce sensed something was amiss and turned to look at Qiao Xing. "What are you trying to say?"
Qiao Xing stammered, "It's nothing. Didn't you say I couldn't go to work? Can I work from home then?"
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then continued washing the tomatoes. "Whatever you want."
"If the company has something important that requires my presence, can I go?"
Qin Ce frowned, turned to look at Qiao Xing, and stopped washing the vegetables. "Is there anything important happening at your company?"
"How do you know? The company may be small, but it's still a company, and the number of people will increase in the future."
Qin Ce sighed, paused for a moment, and tossed the tomatoes in his hand into the colander. "Since you've made up your mind, then do it your way."
Qiao Xing couldn't tell whether he meant what he said or was just saying it out of anger.
She asked tentatively, "Really?"
"Could there be fakes among them?"
Qiao Xing smiled at him, "I knew you were the best."
Qin Ce kept a straight face. "I'm the best, why are you still thinking about running away?"
“These are two different things. You have a family, and I’m out working. Family and work should be kept separate.”
Upon hearing the word "family," Qin Ce's expression shifted slightly.
"Alright, get out of here. Don't block my way while I'm cooking."
"Let me help you."
"Need not."
Qiao Xing pouted, but with his permission, she wasn't so upset anymore. She didn't disturb him while he was cooking and went out of the kitchen to the living room.
When Yang Han saw Qiao Xing come out, he immediately greeted her, "Sister-in-law, Lao Qin said you want to move to a new house. What kind of house are you looking for?"
Qiao Xing hadn't really thought much about changing houses, but considering that it would be inconvenient for Grandpa Qin, she thought for a moment and said, "Let's find one that's more convenient? Ideally, one that doesn't require climbing up and down stairs every day."
"Then let's have a villa, but the villa area is a bit far. Even the closest one is more than 20 kilometers away from Lao Qin's company. If there's a traffic jam in the morning, he'll go crazy."
As Yang Han was speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh right, we don't need a villa, a ground floor apartment is fine. Ground floor apartments even have yards. It's in this neighborhood. Let me check if there are any apartments left."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call.
