Chapter 431 Can't sleep without me?
But Qin Ce said nothing, turned his gaze away and left, the wind stirred by his clothes seemed to carry a chill.
A hint of doubt flashed across Qin Yi's face. Had he said something wrong?
But he didn't say anything.
Upon seeing the two, Wang Yu greeted them with a smile, "Xiao Ce, do you have any dietary restrictions? If so, please let me know in advance so I can inform the kitchen."
"No."
"Okay, oh right, Feifei used the room you stayed in before as a music room. How about I arrange another room for you?"
Qin Ce's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If you like it, then so be it."
Wang Yu's smile froze for a moment. "Then I'll arrange another room for you. I'll go and have someone tidy it up."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Staring at her retreating figure, Qin Yi couldn't help but say, "She really went too far."
That room was the house where Qin Ce lived when he was a child. It had been empty for years. After Qin Ce came back last time, she turned the room into a music room.
Why use Qin Ce's room when there are so many other rooms available? What is she trying to say?
Does this mean she's now in charge of the household?
This is blatant provocation.
"It doesn't matter."
Anyway, that room didn't have any special meaning for him, and he wouldn't scheme against Wang Yu over such a thing.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Qiao Xing took out her phone and checked it. This guy had promised to send her a message, but there had been no response yet.
She thought for a moment and sent him a message: Have you arrived yet?
After waiting a while without receiving a reply, she sighed, hailed a taxi, and went home.
When I got home, I turned on the lights, and the house was quiet and empty.
After standing at the door for a while, he turned off the light, went outside, and took a taxi to find Wang Ye.
Wang Ye was still setting up his stall, but there weren't many people there today, and he didn't need Qiao Xing's help.
Seeing Bai Yi checking Linlin's homework, Qiao Xing walked over and sat down next to them. Bai Yi sighed and tossed the homework onto the table.
Qiao Xing glanced at it, and wow, the handwriting on the homework was so flamboyant that she couldn't make out what it said even after looking at it for a long time.
Linlin took the notebook back herself and put it in her schoolbag. "Mom, I'm done!"
Bai Yi forced a smile. "Great."
Linlin laughed along, revealing two cute little tiger teeth. Then he tossed his schoolbag to Bai Yi and ran off to play with Wang Ye.
Bai Yi sighed, "Only when she's not checking homework is she an adorable little cutie."
Qiao Xing nodded and comforted her, "He's still young, he'll be fine when he's older."
"Forget it, I don't have any demands on him. I just hope he can grow up safely and healthily. Even if he sells barbecue in the future, it's not a bad thing."
“Selling barbecue is no good. Look at my cousin’s face, it’s all blackened by the smoke.”
Bai Yi was amused by her. "Why are you here? Where's Qin Ce?"
“He went on a business trip, and I was at home with nothing to do, so I thought I'd come and help my cousin, but it seems like he doesn't need any help.”
"He can usually manage on his own, but he gets a bit busier on Fridays and Saturdays."
As Bai Yi spoke, she suddenly remembered something, "I've already resigned. Xiao Lin and the others are coming back tomorrow, you know?"
"I know they're coming back, but I didn't know it would be tomorrow. Are you going to see her tomorrow?"
"Oh, you're going too?"
Qiao Xing nodded, "Yes, I'll go with you."
"Okay, haven't you eaten yet? Let Wang Ye cook you some fried rice. Come to my place later, and we'll go see Xiao Lin together tomorrow."
"Okay." Qiao Xing glanced at Wang Ye and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you two living together yet?"
"Yes, let's not talk about it anymore, let it go."
Qiao Xing could tell that Bai Yi was helpless, so she stopped talking, asked Wang Ye to cook her some fried rice, and after eating, she left with Bai Yi and her son.
She had just finished washing up at Bai Yi's house and was lying in bed when she received a reply from Qin Ce: "I had something to do this morning and forgot to reply. Don't worry, I've arrived."
Qiao Xing glanced at the time; it was 10:30. He was only replying now.
She typed: How is Grandpa?
Qin Ce: It's alright, nothing serious.
Qiao Xing: That's good.
She thought to herself, "If Grandpa Qin is alright, then Qin Ce should be able to come back soon, right?"
Just as I was lost in thought, Qin Ce sent me another message: Why aren't you asleep yet?
Qiao Xing told him that he had just returned from the university town and was now staying at Bai Yi's house.
Qin Ce: Can't you sleep without me?
...
Looking through the screen, she couldn't imagine that such a serious person would say those words.
She could even picture Qin Ce typing those words with a blank expression.
Aside from her, probably no one else knew that he was the kind of person who could make witty remarks without any expression on his face.
Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Qin Ce sent another question mark.
Qiao Xing: You're overthinking it. I sleep better without you!
Qin Ce: I don't believe it.
Qiao Xing: If you don't believe me, fine. I'm going to sleep. Goodbye!
Qin Ce: Good night.
Qiao Xing turned off her phone and put it on the bedside table, then grabbed the blanket and covered herself up.
He was right. Qiao Xing didn't sleep at all that night and only drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Bai Yi knocked on the door for a long time before finally waking her up.
Remembering her business, Qiao Xing quickly got up and hurriedly washed and brushed her teeth.
The two of them took a taxi to Xiao Lin's company.
Upon arriving at the company, Qiao Xing was shocked to discover that she had seen this billboard many times before, never expecting it to be Xiao Lin's company.
Bai Yi walked into the company and told the receptionist that she was there to see Xiao Lin.
The receptionist checked the appointments and then led them to the meeting room.
"Please have a seat and wait a moment. Mr. Xiao will be here shortly."
Bai Yi smiled slightly, "Thank you."
After the receptionist left, the two sat for less than five minutes before Xiao Lin pushed the door open and came in. "Sorry, I had something to do just now. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Xiao Lin was wearing a professional suit today, which was a completely different style from what I had seen before. Qiao Xingguang felt that she was very imposing when he saw her in this outfit, no wonder she could keep Yang Han under her thumb.
The two stood up, and Bai Yi said, "We just arrived too."
Xiao Lin smiled and gestured for them to sit down and talk.
After sitting down, Bai Yi explained his purpose, "President Xiao, regarding what we discussed before, I wonder when I can join your company?"
Xiao Lin said, "You can come anytime. I've been waiting for you. I want to entrust the entire responsibility for that shop to you, including the shop decoration and other things, which you will need to take care of yourself."
"No problem, thank you for your trust, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Lin hesitated and said, "However, that shop isn't in Chongqing. Can you accept that?"
Bai Yi hesitated for a moment.
"But it's not very far, it's just in the next city, about a three-hour drive. You can go back and think about it first, or discuss it with your husband."
"No need to think about it, I can accept it."
Xiao Lin smiled and nodded, "Then it's decided."
After saying that, she looked at Qiao Xing and asked, "Miss Qiao, do you also have something to discuss with me?"
