Chapter 588 I Want to Show You
Qiao Xing's words, spoken unconsciously, stirred a surge of emotion in Wang Qin. She stopped and looked at Qiao Xing, as if she had something to say, but in the end, she said nothing and simply nodded, "Okay."
Qiao Xing sat down again, and Qin Ce placed a pan-fried dumpling on her plate, then asked, "Why are you telling her about this?"
Qiao Xing took a bite of her steamed bun. "She saw it all. There's no way to hide it now. Just tell her. It's been three months already, so it should be fine, right?"
"That's good. You don't feel uncomfortable talking to her anymore."
"Really?" Qiao Xing herself didn't realize it. She smiled faintly, "Maybe it's because I'm about to become a mother, so I have a more composed attitude towards people and things."
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce meant that she was no longer as distant from Wang Qin as she had been when they first met, no matter what they said.
She could also sense that sometimes Wang Qin was deliberately trying to get closer to her, hoping to ease the tension between them.
However, the impact of many things on Qiao Xing cannot be changed overnight.
The fact that she can speak calmly with Wang Qin does not mean that she can truly let go of all the past grievances.
"Although three months have passed, we still need to be careful."
As Qiao Xing was talking, she suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Ce, "Have you told the Qin family about my pregnancy?"
When the Qin family was mentioned, Qin Ce's expression darkened slightly, and his voice lost its warmth. "There's no need. If they want to know, they can find out."
With the weather so hot, we can't expect her to wear a down jacket to cover her stomach, so Qin Liang and his team can easily find out by checking.
Qiao Xing asked Qin Ce about this because she felt that Qin Liang was a very contradictory person.
Qiao Xing felt that Qin Liang's previous attitude towards her made him seem very disappointed in Qin Ce. Even though they were father and son, every interaction between them was like a clash of titans.
However, sometimes she felt that Qin Liang wanted to ease the tension between father and son, but because of his status as the father, he was reluctant to back down.
Qiao Xing wondered, if it was the latter reason, then if Qin Liang knew she was pregnant, would his relationship with Qin Ce change slightly?
But judging from Qin Ce's tone, Qiao Xing decided to give up.
Although she and Qin Ce are family, there are many things she shouldn't blindly get involved in, as this would put Qin Ce in a difficult position and affect their relationship.
After breakfast, Qiao Xing went back to the hospital to visit Grandpa Qin.
After chatting with him for a while, Grandpa Qin prepared for his afternoon nap, and Qiao Xing received a call from Bai Yi.
Bai Yi invited Qiao Xing to go shopping over the phone. Qiao Xing hesitated, but Qin Ce happened to be nearby and overheard their conversation.
"Go ahead, I'll take care of things here, Grandpa."
Qiao Xing's attention is currently focused entirely on Grandpa Qin, and Qin Ce doesn't want her to be constantly on edge.
With Qin Ce around, Qiao Xing had nothing to worry about, and she agreed to Bai Yi's request.
A dozen minutes later, Qiao Xing and Bai Yi met at the mall.
Actually, the two hadn't gone shopping together for a while. Bai Yi didn't like it, while Qiao Xing hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
Qiao Xing happened to want to buy herself some maternity clothes, and Bai Yi, who was experienced in this area, took her to the maternity and baby section.
The two chatted as they picked out clothes.
Qiao Xing asked Bai Yi, "How long are you going to be busy? If you're going to stay there for a long time, it'll be quite pitiful for your cousin to be all alone here."
Bai Yi picked out a cute pair of denim overalls for Qiao Xing, held them up against her, and then put them back because they didn't suit her. "I don't know either. It depends on what President Xiao plans. If there are a lot of plans, it might take another two or three months."
"It'll take that long?" Qiao Xing said half-jokingly, "Once you leave this time, my cousin will definitely be worried again. Don't be fooled by his words that he's fine and can take care of Linlin all by himself. He's just pretending. He's a completely different person when you're with him and when you're not."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi looked up at Qiao Xing, her eyes filled with uncertainty, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
"It's no exaggeration. Haven't you noticed that since you came back, he's become much more reserved in both his speech and actions? Actually, he just wants to show you that he's a steady, reliable, and dependable person."
Although Wang Ye doesn't really have any major flaws in terms of personality.
But since it's someone I like, I have to act differently in some ways to show how important this person is to me.
Wang Ye is like this now, but he himself may not realize that his words and actions are gradually changing because of Bai Yi.
Qiao Xing's words stirred up ripples in Bai Yi's heart.
She also noticed the changes in Wang Ye. For example, he became more considerate and attentive in taking care of Linlin, and he would often show concern and ask after her. Sometimes, when she encountered something she couldn't decide, he would patiently answer her questions and enlighten her.
But Bai Yi always felt that he was like this simply because that's who he is.
She never imagined that all of this was because of her.
Qiao Xing knew that Bai Yi had taken her words to heart. In order to help her understand her own feelings more clearly, Qiao Xing continued, "Although my cousin often seems to be unreliable and doesn't care about anything, if you really get to know him, you'll find that he's more reliable than you think. Really, believe me."
Bai Yi smiled slightly, as if she had thought of something, "Yes, he's fine."
Qiao Xing put down what she was holding and said seriously to Bai Yi, "Bai Yi, I'm not saying this to you because Wang Ye is my cousin. I just want you to understand him better and know that he is someone you can rely on for life."
Bai Yi lowered her head, pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she asked Qiao Xing, "Do you think Wang Ye and I are really a good match?"
Qiao Xing countered, "Why wouldn't it be suitable?"
Bai Yi looked conflicted, pondering for a moment, unsure of where to begin.
"Actually, there are many problems between us. If we really get together, these are the problems we will have to face and solve. I am not afraid, but for Wang Ye, these may be a kind of trouble."
This was the first time Bai Yi had opened up so much to Qiao Xing about her relationship with Wang Ye.
After listening, Qiao Xing asked Bai Yi directly, "Have you ever thought about spending your life with my cousin?"
Bai Yi did not answer Qiao Xing.
She had thought about it.
But she dared not admit it.
