Chapter 959 What are you staring at?
Qiao Xing paused, then asked him a different question, "Or rather, did he do something that made you misunderstand him?"
Shen Boyan originally didn't want to tell Qiao Xing because he felt that this matter had little to do with Qiao Xing.
Moreover, given her relationship with Qin Ce, she might not believe his words.
But since Qiao Xing had asked, he didn't want her to think that he was being petty and always disapproving of Qin Ce.
Just as Shen Boyan thought, Qiao Xing looked incredulous after hearing the story. "You must have misunderstood. How could Qin Ce deliberately prevent you from getting investment? He's not that kind of person."
Shen Boyan smirked, “He’s your husband, of course you wouldn’t believe he’s that kind of person, but I only believe what I see.”
"But what you see may not be the truth; he has no reason to do that."
"Yes," Shen Boyan said affirmatively.
Qiao Xing asked, puzzled, "What?"
After asking the question, she suddenly seemed to realize something and asked, "You don't think that Qin Ce did that because he didn't want me to be in the Big Bad Wolf, do you?"
Shen Boyan did not deny it.
But he didn't tell Qiao Xing that there was another reason.
If not wanting Qiao Xing to stay in the Big Bad Wolf's territory accounts for 30%, then another reason directly accounts for 70%.
Qiao Xing believes that Shen Boyan has really misunderstood Qin Ce. "I admit that Qin Ce did not want me to go to Big Bad Wolf Company at first, but that was only because I was pregnant. There was no other reason. And if he really didn't want me to work at Big Bad Wolf, he would not have agreed to let me work there in the first place, instead of waiting until now."
Shen Boyan did not argue. After all, given their relationship, even if Qin Ce stood in front of her and said that he was really that kind of person, she would not believe it.
If you say no, then it's no.
Qiao Xing said helplessly, "It's not that whatever I say goes, it's just the way things are."
Shen Boyan remained silent.
Although she knew that Shen Boyan might not listen, Qiao Xing still patiently explained to him.
"You think I'm saying this because he's my husband? But Shen Boyan, even if we weren't married, I would still say the same thing. Qin Ce isn't the kind of person you imagine. You must have misunderstood what you were talking about."
Shen Boyan said, "It's not that I misunderstood him; he did such a thing himself, so I can't help but remain suspicious of him."
Qiao Xing was feeling a bit tired.
From Shen Boyan's perspective, under those circumstances, even if Qin Ce and Sheng Yao's uncle only met by chance, Shen Boyan would still misunderstand.
Or perhaps Shen Boyan did consider the veracity of this matter, but he was unwilling to believe the facts that contradicted his own views.
For no other reason than that Shen Boyan had never had a good impression of Qin Ce from the very beginning.
As Qiao Xing pondered this, she couldn't help but feel that Qin Ce had been wronged.
It's hard to explain clearly, and even if you could explain it clearly, people might not believe it.
Shen Boyan did not intend to discuss this topic further.
He glanced back at Sheng Yao, who was still in the restaurant, and said to Qiao Xing, "I'm sorry to have made you come all this way today because of me."
Qiao Xing's thoughts were still on what had just happened, and she was a little taken aback when she suddenly heard what Shen Boyan said.
"What?"
Shen Boyan gave him a look that said, "You already know the answer."
Qiao Xing belatedly realized, "You mean Sheng Yao?"
She gave an awkward laugh. "You knew she was doing it on purpose, so why did you still come?"
"I can't let you come all this way for nothing."
Shen Boyan's tone was much more relaxed than before.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Then I should thank you more."
Qiao Xing was still thinking of helping Sheng Yao and Shen Boyan get together, so she said, "Sheng Yao is really great. You should find a girlfriend now. I think she's a good match for you, and she likes you so much. You two can give it a try."
Shen Boyan smirked, "So, just because someone likes me means they're right for me?"
"No, it's not that. I just feel that such a good girl shouldn't be let down. But you can't be sure about feelings. If you really don't like her, you can't force it."
Shen Boyan paused for a moment, then said, "You're right, she might really be right for me."
Before Qiao Xing could even express her surprise, a taxi pulled up on the side of the road.
Shen Boyan opened the car door for her. "Go home early and be careful on the road."
Qiao Xing bent down and got into the car, saying to Shen Boyan, "Goodbye."
Shen Boyan nodded. "Goodbye."
It was just a simple farewell.
However, there seemed to be other emotions mixed in, which were hard to explain but understood implicitly.
Perhaps at this moment, goodbye truly becomes goodbye.
Sheng Yao sat in the restaurant waiting for Shen Boyan to return.
They waited and waited, but Shen Boyan never returned.
She even wanted to chase after him to see if Shen Boyan had left without saying goodbye.
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Shen Boyan walking in at the restaurant entrance.
He walked through the crowd of waiters, step by step, toward Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao stared at him intently; every step he took seemed to tread on her heart.
At that moment, Sheng Yao's heartbeat was crystal clear.
Something seemed to be about to burst out of her throat, but Sheng Yao herself didn't know what she wanted to say.
She didn't know why she was so excited.
Shen Boyan had already walked up to her, but she still hadn't come to her senses.
Shen Boyan frowned slightly. "What are you spacing out for?"
Sheng Yao then realized what was happening, and her cheeks inexplicably felt hot.
Strangely, when she was with Shen Boyan before, no matter how much she pestered him or what he said to her, she never felt ashamed or embarrassed.
Why do I get so easily excited and blush now?
"Um, Qiao Xing went back?"
Shen Boyan said, "Hmm."
Sheng Yao glanced at the dishes on the table and asked Shen Boyan, "Do you still want to eat? If not, shall we go back?"
Shen Boyan sat down opposite Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao thought he hadn't finished eating and wanted to continue eating.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Shen Boyan said to her after sitting down was, "Do you know that Qiao Xing is pregnant and shouldn't be running around?"
His expression was serious, and his tone was tense. Looking at him, Sheng Yao couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"I..." Sheng Yao said one word, but the rest of the words stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to explain.
It was indeed her fault in this matter.
She thought it was just a meal and nothing would happen.
Unexpectedly, Shen Boyan took this matter to heart.
He still questioned her in the same righteous and indignant manner.
