Chapter 652 What exactly do you want to do?
Seeing how hard she was working, Wang Ye sighed and said, "Why do you have to work so hard? I didn't ask you to pay me back today or tomorrow. Don't you think about yourself at all?"
He said that, but he still took out the medicine box and applied medicine to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi gasped in pain. Wang Ye tried to be as gentle as possible and asked, "Did you see who hit you? Even if you don't go to the hospital, shouldn't you at least call the police?"
Bai Yi was lost in thought, seemingly not listening to what Wang Ye was saying.
Wang Ye waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"
Bai Yi quickly snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No need, I'll be fine after a rest."
After Wang Ye finished applying the medicine to her, he put the things back in the box, then stood up and said, "You sit down first, I'll go cook for Linlin."
"Okay, sure."
Bai Yi watched Wang Ye's retreating figure, lost in thought.
Because of Jiang Wang's presence, she always felt uneasy, especially when she saw Wang Ye and Linlin.
But Bai Yi also comforted herself, thinking that she might be overthinking things. Perhaps Jiang Wang wouldn't do anything, and he wouldn't dare to do anything either.
After seeing Yang Han off, Qin Ce went back.
When she got home, Qiao Xing was still awake. She was wearing a loose nightgown, with her laptop on her lap, her eyes intently focused on the computer screen.
She was so focused that she didn't even notice when Qin Ce returned.
It wasn't until Qin Ce walked into the bedroom that she looked up and saw him, and then she subconsciously closed her laptop.
"You're back. Why are you so late?"
Qin Ce took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, then reached up to loosen his tie. "I took Yang Han home, so it's a bit late."
His gaze fell on the laptop in Qiao Xing's hand, and he asked, "Still not finished watching? Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?"
Qiao Xing thought about what she had just done, stuck out her tongue guiltily, and began to lie with increasing confidence, "I was planning to go to sleep, but there were only one or two episodes left, so I was a little reluctant to finish them all."
Qin Ce loosened his tie, took off his shirt, took out a bathrobe from the closet, and prepared to take a shower.
Hearing Qiao Xing's answer, he looked up at her and said, "Really?"
Qiao Xing felt uncertain about his answer, but still nodded stubbornly, "Yes."
Qin Ce stared into her eyes, unmoving.
Qiao Xing glanced at himself subconsciously and asked awkwardly, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
Qin Ce looked away. "It's nothing. I'm going to take a shower now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Qiao Xing breathed a huge sigh of relief after seeing him walk into the bathroom.
She quickly turned on her computer, and the screen still showed her conversation with Shen Boyan.
"I've discussed these versions with Tao Yang and the others. They're much better than the last one. With some final polishing, they should be fine."
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly not saying anything?"
"Qiao Xing?"
Shen Boyan sent several messages in a row. When he saw that Qiao Xing did not respond, he thought something had happened and was about to call her.
Qiao Xing quickly typed on the keyboard and replied to Shen Boyan, "Okay, then you guys decide. It's getting late, you should get some rest."
Shen Boyan replied instantly, "You too."
Before Qin Ce noticed, Qiao Xing quickly closed her laptop, pretended nothing had happened, and lay down to sleep.
But she didn't know that Qin Ce already knew what she was doing.
He also knew that she was secretly discussing work matters with Shen Boyan.
However, he did not expose Qiao Xing, just as he advised Yang Han, Qiao Xing also had his own things he wanted to do.
He didn't want to use the pregnancy to tie Qiao Xing down or restrict her thoughts and actions.
But Qin Ce wasn't as generous as he had imagined.
Although he could tolerate Qiao Xing working while pregnant, he hoped she would tell him about it in person.
Perhaps it would be easier for Qin Ce to accept her behavior than for her to secretly keep it from him.
What's more, it would have been one thing if the person she was talking to about work was someone else, but it just so happened to be Shen Boyan.
Despite this, Qin Ce refrained from speaking, wanting to give Qiao Xing the utmost trust and understanding.
He didn't want Qiao Xing to think that he minded her relationship with Shen Boyan, which was why he didn't want her to work.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xing, who was lying down, was not entirely at ease either.
She felt she couldn't continue to sneak around like this.
Work isn't something to be ashamed of. Perhaps if she told Qin Ce about it herself, he would be more likely to agree.
On the contrary, it is her act of keeping it from Qin Ce that is likely to make Qin Ce unhappy.
After all, they are husband and wife, and everything needs to be communicated and discussed, rather than just considering whether he will get angry.
This might be okay once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, problems will inevitably arise between the two of them.
Bai Yi returned to the branch the next day, and remained safe and sound for the next few days.
Jiang Wang never appeared again after that day. Bai Yi comforted herself, thinking that it seemed she had really been overthinking things.
However, this idea only lasted for one day.
The next day, Bai Yi had just finished her work and was walking out of the store when she ran into Jiang Wang.
He leaned against the car door, wearing sunglasses, and a smile immediately appeared on his face when he saw Bai Yi come out.
The moment Bai Yi saw him, she immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
She didn't know how Jiang Wang found this place, nor did she know what he wanted to do.
But Bai Yi knew that his appearance meant nothing good.
Jiang Wang saw Bai Yi leave, and then got into the car himself.
He followed Bai Yi at the slowest speed, while sticking his head out of the car window and saying to Bai Yi, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride. Bai Yi, I've been waiting for you for hours. You won't even give me this much face, will you?"
Bai Yi didn't even glance at her, and strode forward.
But Jiang Wang wouldn't let her go, "How are your injuries? I couldn't sleep all night yesterday, it was my fault. Why don't I take you to the hospital? Otherwise, I'll feel guilty."
Bai Yi, unable to bear it any longer, stopped and angrily asked, "Jiang Wang, what exactly do you want?"
Jiang Wang took off his sunglasses, his face beaming. "Bai Yi, we've been together, after all. Even if we weren't meant to be lovers, we can still be friends, right? You don't have to be so heartless, do you?"
Bai Yi sneered, mocking him without any politeness, "Does Young Master Jiang need a friend like me? If you really wanted to be friends with me, you wouldn't have been surrounded by women when we were together. What, now that Young Master Jiang has no one to hug, you've remembered me?"
