Chapter 662 already knows?
Qin Ce comforted her, "Don't be nervous, it's just going there to discuss a project. I originally wanted Han Yan to go, but something happened at home and he couldn't get away, so I had to go instead."
Qiao Xing gave an awkward laugh.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she lacked a sense of security, or perhaps she had become accustomed to the comfortable life in Chongqing, and the mention of Beijing would remind her of all the messy things that had happened before.
She asked Qin Ce, "How long will you be gone?"
"It's not certain. It could take as little as three days, or as long as a week."
"Oh." Qiao Xing felt a little disappointed.
Since she became pregnant, Qin Ce had never left her side, and now that he was suddenly gone, she felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Qin Ce stared into her eyes with his deep gaze and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't want me to leave?"
Qiao Xing didn't hide her thoughts and readily admitted, "Yes, but I can't let my actions interfere with your work. It's only for a few days, I'll be fine."
Qin Ce's heart softened, and his eyes were so tender they seemed to overflow with water. He held Qiao Xing in his arms, his long, slender fingers gently stroking her round belly. "Don't worry, your husband will finish his work as quickly as possible and come back to be with you."
Qiao Xing chuckled and nodded. "Okay."
The next morning, Xing Jiu came to pick up Qin Ce.
Since they were only going for a few days, Qiao Xing simply packed Qin Ce a few changes of clothes.
During breakfast, Grandpa Qin learned that Qin Ce was going to the capital. He looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Qin Ce seemed to have guessed what Grandpa Qin wanted to say. He picked up an egg for him and said calmly, "Xiao Yi is here at home, so you don't need to worry."
Grandpa Qin didn't expect that not only did he know what he wanted to say, but he also shut him down with just two sentences.
Since he had already said that, Grandpa Qin couldn't say anything more and could only nod, "Okay, okay, I'm relieved."
In fact, Qin Ce and the Qin family had always been a concern for Grandpa Qin.
However, because Qin Ce has always been a child with his own opinions, his grandfather does not interfere too much with his decisions and actions in many matters.
Because of Qin Ce's experience, Qin's grandfather also supported him.
But in the past two years, perhaps because of his age, he has always been preoccupied with the relationship between Qin Ce and Qin Liang.
One was his son, and the other was his most beloved grandson.
Now that the family has fallen apart, he feels the most pain seeing it.
After breakfast, Qiao Xing saw Qin Ce off. Qin Ce said to her, "If you need anything while I'm gone, just ask Xing Jiu. Also..."
He paused for a moment and said, "If you get bored, I'll allow you to visit the Big Bad Wolf Company, but that's all. I'll have Xing Jiu accompany you. Don't forget what I told you before."
When she heard that he agreed to let her go to the company, Qiao Xing's eyes lit up, but then she quickly remembered something, and her smile froze on her face.
"Qin Ce, do you already know?"
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow. "What do you know?"
Qiao Xing understood from his tone that he must have known.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide the planning from you. The company can't find anyone right now, so I had no choice..."
"Alright, this is what you want to do, and I won't stop you, so you don't need to apologize to me. But one thing is for sure: whatever you do, your health comes first. I'm letting you do these things just to make you happy, so I don't want to see you have any problems because of work. Remember that?"
Qin Ce's idea was simple: he didn't want to tie Qiao Xing down with the child, but only if she could take good care of herself.
Qiao Xing nodded and assured Qin Ce, "Since you're willing to give me a chance, of course I won't cause any problems. I promise!"
Qin Ce recalled her dedication to her work and didn't believe her promise at all. "It would be best if you didn't make me worry."
Qiao Xing waved to him, "Okay, okay, I've remembered everything. I won't let you worry, and I won't let myself get into any trouble."
After Qin Ce left, Qiao Xing no longer had to work secretly, but she felt a little sad.
It seems that many things, when brought up proactively, are not as bad as she imagined.
She always judges things based on her own ideas and believes that her decisions are correct.
However, if it weren't for Qin Ce's constant tolerance and understanding, she and Qin Ce might have argued many times because of her.
A stable relationship requires mutual effort from both parties.
We can't let her keep her own thoughts and say nothing just because she's always afraid of this and worried about that.
Qiao Xing sat on the sofa and reflected on her actions.
In the end, she decided to wait until Qin Ce returned and have a good talk with him, admitting the mistakes he should make and saying what needed to be said.
The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Qiao Xing's thoughts.
Lin Xi called Qiao Xing via video. As soon as Qiao Xing answered, he saw Lin Xi's bright smile on the screen.
"elder sister!"
Seeing how happy she was, Qiao Xing smiled too, "Xi Xi, how's learning going? Are you adapting well?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, everything is fine. I learn slowly, but the teachers here are very good, and it's not difficult to learn."
Lin Xi has been attending classes for about a week. Although she can't yet play a complete piece fluently, her serious attitude towards learning has earned her praise from her teachers and classmates.
Compared to the other new classmates, her progress is already considered fast.
Qiao Xing felt much relieved. "Then I'm relieved. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell your sister. Don't keep it to yourself, okay?"
"Um."
The two were chatting when a boy suddenly appeared in Lin Xi's camera lens.
He tilted his head and leaned closer to the camera, asking, "Is this your sister?"
The boy was handsome and looked to be about the same age as Lin Xi. When he came closer, Lin Xi subconsciously dodged to the side, and her earlobes turned red visibly.
She nodded shyly and whispered, "Yes, her name is Qiao Xing, she's the older sister I often tell you about."
The boy waved to Qiao Xing on the screen, "Hello, sister."
Qiao Xing nodded to the boy. "Hello."
Lin Xi introduced him to Qiao Xing: "Sister, he and I have the same teacher, so he's my senior. His name is..."
Lin Xi was speaking when a voice suddenly came from behind her, "Come on, classmates, let's continue."
Lin Xi had no choice but to quickly hang up the video call. "Sister, I have to go to class now. I'll call you back when I have time."
