Chapter 850 Was this intentional?
The moon is bright and the stars are few; the night is always exceptionally quiet.
Qiao Xing closed her eyes, but she wasn't sleepy at all; her mind was full of worries.
Qiao Xing thought about it all night and finally figured it out.
She didn't think Qin Ce's concern for her, or his thoughts, were unfounded worries.
After all, the child isn't just hers; she has to consider whether Qin Ce can accept it before making any decisions.
She always said she could handle it, and if nothing really happened, then everyone would be relieved and happy.
But if something really happens, she might not blame anyone, but what about the people around her? How can she guarantee that they won't feel guilty and remorseful for not taking good care of her?
After all, she is no longer the same person she was at the beginning.
To Grandpa Qin, she was no different from his own granddaughter; to Qin Ce, she was his everything.
Therefore, she cannot always consider her own thoughts.
She would listen to Qin Ce. If he really didn't want her to go to the company, then she would stay home and rest during her pregnancy.
But at least let her finish this last month, or even half a month.
After all, the company has a lot of work to do now, and she can't just abandon it.
With this thought in mind, Qiao Xing slept through the night, and the first thing she thought of when she opened her eyes the next day was to talk to Qin Ce.
But when I turned my head, the space next to me was already empty.
The blanket had long since cooled down, so the person had probably been gone for a while.
Qiao Xing glanced at the time; it was only seven o'clock.
Did Qin Ce have something urgent to do that he left so early?
Since he wasn't there, Qiao Xing could only wait for him to come back before talking to him.
However, she still had to go to the company today. Shen Boyan had already contacted the studio, and they would officially start dubbing in a couple of days. Qiao Xing hadn't finished editing the lines and plot for the four male leads yet.
Qiao Xing went to the bathroom to wash up, then ate breakfast, changed clothes, and prepared to go to the company.
Autumn is just around the corner, and the weather outside is getting cooler. Qiao Xing wore a loose-fitting knit sweater with a trench coat over it.
After she became pregnant, her weight remained basically unchanged, and unless she deliberately wore tight clothes, it was almost impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
After getting ready, Qiao Xing grabbed her bag, called Xing Jiu on her phone, and changed her shoes before heading out.
Actually, Qiao Xing would prefer to drive herself. After she got her driver's license, she was always worried about making mistakes because she was a novice driver, so she didn't drive much. Then, not long after, she got pregnant and couldn't drive anymore.
Logically speaking, even if she were driving now, as long as she drove steadily, she wouldn't become a road hazard.
However, Qin Ce would rather have Xing Jiu pick him up and drop him off at get off work every day than let her touch a car.
However, sometimes when Qiao Xing sees the cars coming and going on the road and then reads the news about car accidents, his desire to drive diminishes.
Xing Jiu's phone rang twice before being hung up.
Qiao Xing frowned in confusion, wondering why he hadn't answered. Just as he stepped outside, he saw Xing Jiu standing straight at the door.
"Good morning, Madam."
Qiao Xing was startled by him, clutching her chest to calm herself down before asking in surprise, "Why are you here so early?"
Xing Jiu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qiao Xing didn't ask any more questions. "Let's go, take me to the company."
Xing Jiu stood still.
Qiao Xing asked in confusion, "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
Xing Jiu looked at Qiao Xing with a troubled expression, "Madam, President Qin said that you should rest at home today."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "What do you mean by telling me to rest at home?"
"That's right, you can't go to work today..."
Xing Jiu had no choice; Qin Ce had given him the order before he was even fully awake that morning.
No matter what, Qiao Xing must not go to the company today.
But Qiao Xing didn't believe it and insisted on going. Xing Jiu stood in front of her and said with difficulty, "Madam, this is President Qin's wish. Please don't make things difficult for me..."
"What does he mean? Is he planning to lock me up at home?"
Xing Jiu touched her nose.
Xing Jiu was acting on Qin Ce's orders, and he would never ask Qin Ce for the reason before carrying out any task.
However, Xing Jiu felt that Qin Ce would not do this without a reason, and the reason still lay with Qiao Xing.
"Don't stop me." Qiao Xing tried to push Xing Jiu away.
But her physique was too small to move him at all. When she went left, Xing Jiu went left; when she went right, Xing Jiu went right.
They didn't give Qiao Xing a single chance.
Qiao Xing had no choice but to compromise, so she took out her phone and called Qin Ce.
She didn't say she absolutely had to go to work, but at least she should wait a few days to finish her current tasks, right?
The phone rang twice before being answered. Qiao Xing couldn't wait to say, "Qin Ce, you..."
Before Qiao Xing could finish speaking, she heard Han Yan's voice on the phone, "You're looking for Lao Qin? He's in a meeting, you'll probably have to wait a while."
Qiao Xing paused, then asked, "How long will it take?"
"About an hour or two. If you have something urgent, just tell me and I can pass it on to him."
Qiao Xing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "No need, let's talk about it after he's done with his work."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone helplessly.
Although Han Yan said Qin Ce was in a meeting, she couldn't help but feel that Qin Ce was doing it on purpose.
Qiao Xing glanced at Xing Jiu, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
They just kept her locked up at home without saying a word. What's the difference between that and imprisonment?
Xing Jiu knew that Qiao Xing was definitely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do; he felt helpless too.
Qiao Xing had no choice but to turn around and go into the house indignant resentment.
She threw her bag on the sofa, sat down, and was furious.
Grandpa Qin had just gotten up from his bedroom. Usually at this time, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce were not at home.
So when he saw Qiao Xing in the living room, he asked in surprise, "Hey, Xingxing, didn't you go out?"
Qiao Xing quickly hid her emotions, forced a smile, and said to Grandpa Qin, "There wasn't much going on at the company this morning, so I didn't go. I'm taking this opportunity to spend some time with you."
Grandpa Qin thought she was worried because of what he said last night.
He waved his hand, "I just like to say a few words now and then. You guys go about your business. As long as you and Xiao Ce are doing well, I'm fine staying at home. Nothing will happen to me, so don't worry about me at all."
Qiao Xing supported Grandpa Qin's arm, "I know you don't want Qin Ce and me to worry about you, but I'm not worried about you, I just really want to be with you."
Qiao Xing was too embarrassed to say that it was Qin Ce who wouldn't let her go to the company.
Once that's said, she can no longer hide the fact that she went to the hospital yesterday.
Originally, it was only Qin Ce who disagreed with her going, but now it became a situation where both he and Grandpa Qin didn't want her to go.
Grandpa Qin was very pleased by her two sentences, "You are much more filial than that boy Xiao Ce."
