Chapter 96 Exploiting Freebies
Wang Ye smiled and waved to Qin Ce, "Brother-in-law! It's Saturday today, where have you been? Why did you leave my cousin home alone!"
Qin Ce glanced at him, then at Lily.
Lily forced an awkward smile, cleared her throat, avoided Qin Ce's gaze, and turned her attention to the television.
"I'm going out to take care of something." Qin Ce changed his shoes and said to Qiao Xing, "I came back to get something, and I'll have to go out again in a bit."
"Okay."
Qin Ce went back inside to get something, and sure enough, he went out again.
Wang Ye was stunned. He asked, puzzled, "Are finance people this busy? They have to go out late Saturday nights!"
Qiao Xing explained, "He's not in finance anymore; he's the president's secretary."
"Pfft..." Lily spat out the drink she had just taken a sip.
The two of them turned to look at Lily.
Lily looked a little embarrassed. She took a tissue to wipe her mouth and forced a dry laugh, "It's nothing, I just found it a little funny to hear that a man is a secretary..."
If she hadn't gone to see Qin Ce, she would have believed it all. One minute he's an accountant, the next a secretary—he has so many identities!
Is this for a Mission: Impossible movie?
Qiao Xing smiled awkwardly. A male secretary... isn't that strange, is it?
But when she thought about certain things, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Lily added, "Is he coming back tonight? Why don't we just stay here and avoid having to make another trip tomorrow?"
“This…” Qiao Xing suddenly didn’t know how to answer her.
Wang Ye said, "They just moved in today, it's not appropriate for us to stay here. Let's do it next time, we can come back another time."
Staying at someone's place on the first night would be incredibly inconsiderate.
"Okay, let's go first then. Come back early tomorrow." Lily didn't insist. She was afraid that if Qin Ce came back and angered him, he would expose all her dark history.
Wang Ye and Lili stood up to say goodbye, and Qiao Xing saw them to the door but didn't see them off any further.
She was exhausted from tidying up all day, so she took a shower and went back to her room to fall asleep.
When Qin Ce returned, it was already past midnight. He took a shower and subconsciously reached for Qiao Xing's door, but the next moment, he suddenly remembered the image of Qiao Xing wearing a white shirt yesterday, and a surge of lust rushed up from him.
Qin Ce was a little irritated. He felt that his self-control, which he was so proud of, was rapidly disappearing in front of Qiao Xing. This was a completely unfamiliar experience for him. He hated this feeling of not being able to control himself. He was afraid that one day he would lose control and completely succumb...
Most importantly, Qiao Xing is a restless sleeper; he always manages to touch her while he's asleep.
Isn't this adding fuel to the fire? Qin Ce was genuinely a little scared...
After hesitating for a long time in front of the door, Qin Ce turned around and went to another bedroom.
Qiao Xing slept soundly until dawn. At eight o'clock in the morning, Lily brought Wang Ye to find Qiao Xing. Qiao Xing didn't even have time to cook before Lily dragged her out the door.
Lily disliked Wang Ye's poor taste, so she dragged Qiao Xing along to help her choose a wedding dress.
The three of them looked around from morning until noon, visiting four or five wedding dress shops, but Lily was not satisfied with any of them.
As Lily left the bridal shop, she looked annoyed. She had originally wanted a dress custom-made, but the price was too high, so she naturally didn't like the ready-made wedding dresses available now.
And just then...
"Qiao Xing!!!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out, startling Qiao Xing. She looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Jiang Wang calling her.
Jiang Wang, dressed in designer casual wear, abandoned the beautiful woman beside him and rushed over to greet Qiao Xing with delight.
"It really is you! What are you doing here? Shopping?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
When did she and Jiang Wang become so close?
Jiang Wang's enthusiasm was beyond words, as if he were meeting an old friend of many years, which completely bewildered Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing forced a smile, "Yes, yes."
"Qiao Xing, who is this?" Wang Ye asked.
Jiang Wang quickly answered, "My name is Jiang Wang. The richest man in Chongqing is my uncle. What is your relationship with Qiao Xing?"
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth. Was this how he always introduced himself? Like he was afraid people wouldn't know he was a rich second-generation...
“I’m her cousin.” Wang Ye’s eyes lit up, then he suddenly realized, “You’re a rich kid? Xingxing, when did you get to know such an important person?”
Qiao Xing didn't know how to explain it; she didn't think she knew Jiang Wang.
She sang a song with Jiang Wang at a karaoke bar to apologize to him, and that was all they ever did. She never thought she had the ability to get to know a rich second-generation guy.
Jiang Wang touched his hair and said smugly, "That's right, not many people know me."
Lily secretly sized up Jiang Wang from the side. Judging from his clothes and the woman beside him, it was easy to tell that he was probably really rich.
The outfit he's wearing must cost at least 200,000 yuan.
Lily immediately greeted him with a smile, "Hello Mr. Jiang, my name is Lily, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Who are you?"
“She’s my fiancée. We’re picking out wedding dresses right now, and we’re getting married next month,” Wang Ye said.
“Oh…” Jiang Wang nodded, glancing at Wang Ye with regret, “Another one jumping into the grave of marriage.”
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly changed the subject, "Young Master Jiang, are you shopping here?"
"Yeah, just browsing around." Jiang Wang seemed to have thought of something. "Have you finished picking out your wedding dresses?"
"Not yet, we've been looking all morning." Lily suddenly had an idea about Jiang Wang. She said, "Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable and experienced. Why don't you give us some advice? Your judgment is definitely better than ours."
Jiang Wang couldn't resist praise. As soon as he heard Lily say that, he immediately became arrogant. "Absolutely! I know a wedding dress designer. How about I call him over and have him design one for you?"
Qiao Xing hurriedly said, "Don't bother, we..."
Lily interrupted Qiao Xing, "That's great! The people Mr. Jiang knows must be very capable. Since you and Qiao Xing are such good friends, will you give us a discount?"
Jiang Wang was displeased: "What discount? He dares to charge me for doing things for me? Just tell him your requirements, and I'll treat it as a free gift!"
He had figured out this trick of using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha. His thinking was very simple: to build a good relationship with Qiao Xing was to build a good relationship with Qin Ce, and to build a good relationship with Qin Ce was to open the door to the top of society!
They have to give it their all!
Lily was overjoyed. She had figured it out: Jiang Wang liked to show off, so she would flatter him and fleece him as much as possible.
Two wedding dresses aren't enough.
Wouldn't she just throw a wedding out there? With a hotel venue, a fleet of luxury cars, and a grand spectacle, she could show off to her friends.
