Chapter 285 Afraid you'll die suddenly
"You can try to find Shi Yi and ask her to persuade Chen Yu to drop the case, but given the past grievances between me and Chen Yu, it will be difficult for him to drop it."
"I understand," Qin Ce said, and then hung up the phone.
He stepped on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow.
Upon arriving at the private room of the club, Yang Han and another middle-aged man were already sitting inside.
Upon seeing him, Yang Han immediately stood up to greet him, "Old Qin, how did you convince your wife to go abroad with you?"
Qin Ce glanced at him, then suddenly remembered something, "Are you going?"
What am I supposed to do there?
"Just kidding, you'd better not go." Qin Ce thought of Xue Ling; if Yang Han went, things would turn upside down again.
But once he went there, he couldn't be with Qiao Xing every day. Xue Ling was unreliable, and Qiao Yi had a bit of a generation gap with her, so she couldn't really relax and have fun with him.
She needs to find someone she knows well and has a good relationship with to go together.
But Qin Ce couldn't think of a suitable person, and Qiao Xing didn't have many friends.
Seeing his thoughtful expression, Yang Han instantly understood his thoughts. "You want to find someone to keep your sister-in-law company, right? That's easy, just call Jiang Wang."
Qin Ce remained expressionless, as if to say that he was a fool.
Yang Han laughed and said, "That kid is a bit unreliable. Forget it, let's get your wife's passport sorted out first."
Yang Han put her arm around his shoulder and introduced him to the person who helped him apply for a passport.
Qiao Xing lay in bed and started playing the game again. Although she was scolded last night, she did not give up the game because of it. After she got over her anger, she was addicted again.
Just as she was choosing a hero, Shi Yi suddenly sent her a message. Qiao Xing scrolled over the message without even noticing what she had sent.
Then Shi Yi sent several more messages, and Qiao Xing finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she opened WeChat to see what she had sent.
Shi Yi told her about Lin Qiang going to ask for the house today, and that she had also found a lawyer for her aunt, while also complaining about Qiao Xing's stepfather.
After reading it, Qiao Xing frowned. Shi Yi had found a lawyer for her aunt?
Lin Qiang probably won't get the house, but that's none of her business, so she continued playing the game.
Shi Yi was still relentlessly sending messages when Qiao Xing accidentally clicked on Shi Yi's chat box, resulting in him being killed by her.
Qiao Xing got a little angry. She opened Shi Yi's profile, set it to Do Not Disturb mode, and then continued playing the game with peace of mind.
Shi Yi sent messages for a long time but received no response from Qiao Xing. Her face gradually darkened, and she threw her phone onto the bed.
He even cursed her, saying she didn't know what was good for her.
Qiao Xing had pretty good luck today, winning several games. She lost the last game to advance to Platinum, so she stopped playing.
But when she saw that it was almost midnight and Qin Ce still hadn't returned, she couldn't help but send him a message.
Qin Ce didn't reply. Qiao Xing waited for a while, and only after confirming that he wouldn't reply did she put down her phone and go to sleep.
Qin Ce returned quite late, close to 1:30 AM.
After returning, I didn't go to the bedroom, but went to the study to finish the work at hand, since I was preparing to go to France.
So when Qiao Xing woke up the next day, he saw that the door to his study was open.
She went over and saw that Qin Ce was still working in front of the computer.
Qiao Xing asked in surprise, "Qin Ce, are you still awake, or did you just get up?"
Qin Ce was so engrossed in his work that he only remembered to glance at his watch when Qiao Xing spoke, and realized it was already seven o'clock.
He said, "I just got up. Do you still have to work a whole day today?"
"Yeah, why are you at work so early this morning? Have you been very busy these past few days?"
"It's alright," he said, rubbing his temples.
Qiao Xing looked at his face and felt that he didn't look like he had just woken up. She paused and said, "I'll go cook."
This time, Qin Ce didn't argue with her. He nodded in agreement and continued working.
Qiao Xing glanced at him hesitantly, feeling a little worried, but she didn't say anything and turned to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.
After breakfast, Qin Ce drove her to her company.
When they reached the opposite side of the company, Qiao Xing glanced at him again, her eyes clearly showing exhaustion.
Did you not sleep last night?
Qin Ce turned to look at her. "I'm asleep. Why are you saying that?"
Qiao Xing's gaze swept back and forth across his face. "You look like you haven't slept. If you haven't slept, don't drive. Safety first."
Qin Ce raised his hand and touched her hair, saying softly, "Don't worry, go to work."
Qiao Xing looked at him several times. His condition was really worrying. She couldn't help but give him a few more words of advice before getting out of the car and going to the company.
Qin Ce only drove off after he saw her cross the road.
Qiao Xing has nothing much to do today, mainly doing spring cleaning.
But Qin Ce had a lot to do today. He moved the meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow to today, and spent the whole morning in meetings. At noon, he finally managed to take a nap.
I slept straight through until three or four in the afternoon.
Han Yan came in several times during that period, and each time he came in he saw him sleeping soundly on the sofa with his suit jacket over his head.
It was obvious he hadn't slept last night, so I didn't wake him up.
When he came in for the fifth time, Qin Ce finally woke up. He lifted the coat off his head, glanced at the time, and rubbed his temples with a headache.
Why didn't you call me?
Han Yan, who was standing nearby, said, "I'm afraid you'll die suddenly."
"I won't die, at least I'm healthier than you." Qin Ce tossed aside his suit jacket, got up and went to his desk, and then he proved him wrong.
I didn't eat lunch, and my stomach started to hurt.
He rubbed his stomach, his brows furrowed, and a look of pain crossed his face.
Han Yan smirked, "You call your body better than mine? I can go three days without eating and be fine."
After catching his breath, Qin Ce took two stomach pills from the drawer and went back to work.
Around 5 p.m., he finished get off work and went to pick up Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing actually got off work around 3 PM, but Qin Ce said he would pick her up, so she waited until this time, by which time almost everyone in the company had left.
Upon seeing Qin Ce's car, she quickly opened the door and got in.
After getting in the car, Qin Ce asked, "Didn't you want to buy a gift? What do you want to buy?"
"I don't know yet, but should we go buy it now?"
"Let's go now." Qin Ce didn't want to waste time, and since it was on his way, he decided to buy it.
Qin Ce drove the car out to the largest shopping mall in the city center, the same place where Bai Yi returned the watch last time.
When Qiao Xing saw the glamorous shopping mall, she felt a little hesitant. "Should we...should we shop here?"
Are these things in here something they can afford?
"Let's go in and take a look. We can't buy something too cheap as a gift, don't you think?"
Qiao Xing nodded. Actually, what she was thinking was to bring some local specialties... These expensive things can be found abroad, right?
However, since Qin Ce had already said it, she couldn't say it aloud. She decided to go to the local specialty store near the community again tomorrow.
Qiao Xing has never gone shopping with him before, but he doesn't seem to like shopping much.
As soon as he entered the store, he found a sofa and sat down, it seemed he wanted her to do things her own way.
