Chapter 105 The Rich Play All the Time
Qin Ce said, "You don't want me to go?"
This left Qiao Xing speechless, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Qin Ce repeated, "Which flight?"
"Oh... the one at 8:30 pm on Friday night."
Qin Ce opened the app, found the 8:30 flight, and since there was only one airline at that time, he bought the ticket directly.
Qiao Xing watched him place the order and finally book the tickets before she belatedly realized that she was going on a long trip with Qin Ce.
"Sit tight," Qin Ce said, putting his phone away and riding his electric scooter home.
Nothing much happened in the next few days, but Lily and Jiang Wang chatted enthusiastically; to be precise, Lily was the one who kept pestering Jiang Wang.
Lily wasn't stupid; she knew why Jiang Wang was so familiar with Qiao Xing, while Qiao Xing seemed confused. The key reason lay with Qin Ce.
Jiang Wang knew Qin Ce, so he extended his affection for Qiao Xing to Qin Ce, and that was all.
So when Lily chatted with him, she always mentioned Qin Ce, saying how good Qin Ce and Wang Ye's relationship was, and how they were classmates when they were young.
This successfully piqued Jiang Wang's interest in the topic, and the two started chatting.
This was the first time Jiang Wang had ever had a purely casual conversation with a woman. There were absolutely no ambiguous topics between them; they were simply chatting.
Most importantly, Jiang Wang wasn't interested in Lily either. Firstly, Lily wasn't his type, and secondly, she was Wang Ye's girlfriend.
As they chatted, Lily steered the conversation toward the wedding.
She told Jiang Wang: Qin Ce said he would help us contact hotels and a fleet of vehicles, but he seems to be very busy lately and doesn't have much time to do it.
Upon seeing the message, Jiang Wang immediately sent her a voice message: "What could he be busy with? I know. He's definitely not available. Leave this small matter to me, I'll take care of it for you!"
Lily was overjoyed and immediately typed a reply: Really? That's wonderful! Mr. Jiang has a wide network of connections and knows many people. We are so grateful for your help. The hotel owner will definitely give us a discount because of you.
Jiang Wang: "Who are you looking down on? Do I need a discount for what I ordered? It's free, okay? You guys wait, I'll go find someone in a bit, I guarantee the wedding will dazzle you!"
Jiang Wang suddenly felt something was wrong after saying that, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
It's just that I inexplicably have the feeling that I'm the one getting married.
He paid for everything—the wedding dress, the hotel, the banquet, the car fleet—he never had to worry about anything like that when he got married himself…
But he wasn't married yet, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it; it was just strange.
As soon as Yang Han entered the room, she saw him scratching his head on the sofa, looking worried, and couldn't help but tease him, "Brother Wang, which girl did you break up with this time?"
Jiang Wang put down his phone, looked up at Yang Han, and said, "Cousin, you have to praise me to Brother Ce later. I helped him a lot."
His parents said that it was a good thing to know Qin Ce, and that he should get along well with Qin Ce. His parents felt sorry for him after he was beaten, so they increased his allowance. Otherwise, why would he be so attentive?
"Oh? How did you help him?"
Jiang Wang said boastfully, "I booked a hotel and wedding dress for his wife's cousin, and arranged a super cool fleet of luxury cars. I guarantee they'll have a lot of face. Isn't that a big favor?"
Yang Han's eyelids twitched. According to the information he had received, Qin Ce and Wang Ye's relationship didn't seem to be that good, right?
This kid, has he been fooled by someone...?
"Did Qin Ce ask you to do it?"
"No, it's that Lily. Anyway, they're all family, so it's only right to help out a poor relative like her."
Yang Han: "..."
"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't mess it up this time!"
Yang Han rubbed her forehead and took a couple of deep breaths. "It's okay. You've helped him so much, so you should go and talk to him yourself. I won't pass on your message."
“I’ll definitely say it, and you have to say it for me too! We need to change his impression of me.”
Yang Han didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she turned around and went upstairs, afraid that staying with Jiang Wang for too long would affect his IQ. However, Qin Ce probably wouldn't blame Jiang Wang for this, so she went along with Jiang Wang to figure it out.
Friday arrived quickly.
Qiao Xing left work on time, and she and Wang Ye had already agreed to go straight to the airport after get off work.
She was just about to call Qin Ce when he sent her a message first.
Qin Ce was waiting downstairs at her company. Qiao Xing quickly ran out of the company and crossed the familiar street.
But she didn't see Qin Ce's electric scooter; she only saw a small car she didn't recognize.
Qiao Xing was still looking around when the car door slowly lowered, and Qin Ce's voice came from the back seat, "Qiao Xing, get in."
Qiao Xing was taken aback and turned to look, only to find Qin Ce sitting in the car.
He was wearing a suit, unbuttoned, with the collar of his black shirt open, giving him a more casual look than his usual meticulous appearance.
Coupled with his aloof and handsome face, he exudes the air of a big boss.
Qiao Xing quickly opened the car door and got in. "Did you come by taxi?"
"Yeah, electric cars can't get into the airport, so I took a taxi."
At this moment, Xiao Li, who was sitting in the front, also spoke up in a cooperative manner, "Gentlemen, the car is about to depart, please fasten your seat belts."
Qiao Xing grabbed the seatbelt next to him and fastened it. Then he glanced at Qin Ce next to him. Qin Ce was still sitting with his legs crossed, leaning back in his seat with an air of nonchalance, showing no intention of fastening his seatbelt.
She scratched the back of her head, wondering why, but the way he sat in the car gave her a powerful aura, like a domineering CEO.
It was a stark contrast to his usual demeanor when he rode an electric scooter.
The car slowly drove towards the airport. Bored, Qiao Xing looked around at the interior decorations.
She had taken Didi rides before, but she had never seen such a nice interior. It exuded a high-end atmosphere everywhere, and the car was very clean, like a new car, with a faint wood scent.
Qiao Xing leaned closer to him and whispered, "Did you call a luxury car?"
Qin Ce glanced at her sideways and calmly hummed in agreement.
“Private cars are expensive…” she muttered to herself.
The driver in front, Xiao Li, thought to himself, "Of course a Bentley Arnage 728 is expensive..."
Actually, all the company cars were bought by Han Yan. Han Yan likes cars, so none of the company cars are bad. He just uses the company's name to satisfy his hobby of collecting luxury cars.
Qin Ce was different; he liked playing with watches. In his words, wearing a watch gave him a sense of control over time.
Qin Ce said, "I have a coupon."
"..." Xiao Li's hand trembled, and the car almost veered off course.
His boss actually knew about coupons?! Looks like he put in a lot of effort; he must have looked them up online.
Sure enough, rich people these days spend money on everything.
To truly enjoy life, one must return to simplicity and authenticity.
