Chapter 972 Leverage Your Advantages as a Girl
The three of them stood together, and the atmosphere unconsciously became somewhat strange and awkward.
Xiao Xiao then explained to Qiao Xing, "Miss Qiao, I came to see Grandpa Qin. He didn't eat much last night, and I was worried he might be hungry, so I wanted to come and ask him if he wanted anything to eat. But since you're all here, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll come back later."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to the two of them and turned to leave.
Qiao Xing kept staring at her back. Qin Ce asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Don't you have a feeling that she might be interested in you?"
Qin Ce said calmly, "So what if I sensed it?"
Qiao Xing said, "According to the normal plot development, shouldn't I be questioning you at this point? Or should I replace her and not let her take care of Grandpa?"
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow. "If you want, I have no objection."
Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce was just joking with her. Although she could tell what Xiao Xiao meant to Qin Ce, she wasn't the kind of person to hold a grudge.
The young woman took good care of Grandpa Qin and did her job well. There's no need for her to target her because of this.
Qiao Xing said, "Let it go. She's had a tough time, and she needs this job so much. I wouldn't feel right if I fired her for no reason."
Qin Ce asked quietly, "Then aren't you jealous?"
Qiao Xing turned to look at him, puzzled. "Why do you always try to make me jealous? What good would it do you if I really made a scene about this in front of you?"
Qiao Xing couldn't understand why other people's husbands or boyfriends always hoped that their partners would be considerate, understanding, and not petty about such things.
Qin Ce, on the other hand, always hoped that she would get jealous over something and then question him about why he did such a thing.
Qin Ce said, "You're my wife, isn't it natural for you to be jealous?"
As Qiao Xing listened to his words, she always felt that there was a hint of accusation in his tone.
"I would get jealous. If she were your ex-girlfriend or someone you had a crush on before, I might really be jealous. But people like her have appeared in your life before, and I'm used to it."
Qin Ce was a little displeased when he heard this. "What do you mean you're used to it? It's like I have some kind of problem with my lifestyle."
Qiao Xing quickly corrected, "That's not what I meant. I meant that with your status and looks, it's normal for girls to be attracted to you. If I were jealous of every single one of them, how could I live my life?"
Qin Ce sighed inwardly.
It's not necessarily a bad thing that she thinks this way.
At least you won't let this kind of thing drain you and make you unhappy all the time.
Seeing that Qin Ce didn't speak, Qiao Xing suddenly stared at him seriously and said, "I can be indifferent to this kind of thing, but if you deliberately do something because I'm indifferent, I will be angry."
Qin Ce was speechless. "Am I that kind of person?"
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that she had indeed been overthinking it. "You're not."
Qin Ce was at a loss as to what to do with her.
The two were talking at the door when Wang Yu came out of the ward.
"You two are here. I was just looking for you."
Wang Yu said to the two of them, "I chatted with your grandfather for a while and he seemed to be in good spirits. It must be because you took good care of him these past two days. You've really worked hard."
Qin Ce remained silent, so Qiao Xing could only smile and say to Wang Yu, "Grandpa is getting old, this is what we should do."
Wang Yu sighed, "If Xiao Ji and Fei Fei were as sensible as you two, I would be so happy."
Qiao Xing smiled but didn't say anything.
Wang Yu said, "Alright, it's about time, I should go back now."
"Take care, Aunt Wang."
After separating from Qin Ce and Qiao Xing's sight, Wang Yu did not leave the hospital directly, but went to the balcony on the top floor of the hospital.
Xiao Xiao had been waiting for Wang Yu here for half an hour. When she saw her arrive, Xiao Xiao slowly walked forward and said, "Auntie."
Wang Yu took off her sunglasses and looked Xiao Xiao up and down.
She was very obedient, and during her time at the hospital, her daily style of dress followed Wang Yu's instructions.
At first glance, he does indeed bear some resemblance to Qiao Xing.
Wang Yu nodded to her and asked, "How did it go?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head and said in a low voice, "I did what you said, but I still can't get close to him. And every time, he deliberately keeps his distance from me. I can't make him and Qiao Xing misunderstand each other."
Wang Yu was not surprised by this result. She knew Qin Ce well; if things went too smoothly, it would seem abnormal.
She didn't blame Xiaoxiao, but said to her, "This matter can't be rushed, it has to be done slowly. But Xiaoxiao, you know your father's condition. If he doesn't get treatment in time, he'll have to be sent to a mental hospital. You know what the doctor told you before. I don't want to pressure you, but you have to be aware of that."
Xiaoxiao clenched her fingers tightly, bit her lip, nodded and said, "I know, Auntie. My dad and I are all alone. Thanks to you for giving us money so we could have a place to stay. I will always remember this kindness."
Wang Yu sighed, "Although I'm not your biological aunt, we're still relatives, and I can't just stand by and watch you sleep on the streets. But Xiaoxiao, you have to understand that your aunt has her own difficulties. Asking you to do this is out of necessity. Think about it, if this really works out, you'll not only be helping your aunt, but you'll also have a legitimate reason to enter the Qin family, right?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I understand, I will do my best."
"Qin Ce is different from other men, so this matter is indeed difficult."
Wang Yu put her sunglasses back on and continued, "You are a girl, and a young girl at that. You must take advantage of being a girl and find a way to make Qin Ce like you. I'm entrusting this matter to you, so you must not let me down."
"I understand, Auntie."
After Wang Yu left, Xiao Xiao squatted on the ground helplessly, her heart filled with endless sorrow and despair.
She knew better than anyone how disgraceful this was.
But she had no choice. The doctor said that Li Dong's condition actually had a chance to recover, but the price to pay would be very high.
Putting everything else aside, the medical expenses alone required during this process would be astronomical for Xiaoxiao.
In the vast capital city, only Wang Yu could help her.
So when Wang Yu told her about this, all Xiao Xiao could do was compromise.
Xiao Xiao stayed alone on the rooftop for a long time. When she came out of the stairwell, she was startled by the person who suddenly appeared.
