Chapter 90 This person is so strange
Jiang Wang could tell from his reaction that this person had no knowledge whatsoever.
"I'll get two catgirls for you to see later." Jiang Wang smiled mysteriously, as if he were promoting a product. "I guarantee you'll like them too."
As the two were talking, the beautiful women Jiang Wang had chosen arrived one after another, all wearing white shirts as he had requested.
Qin Ce glanced at them and they looked like cabbages on the market—somewhat relatable, but not much.
Moreover, after looking at it for a few moments, I started to experience visual fatigue and even felt a bit disgusted.
Seeing his lack of interest, Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Brother Ce? Don't you like this kind of appearance?"
Jiang Wang's words hit the nail on the head. No wonder it felt like buying cabbages; it turns out all these women look the same.
She is pretty, but her beauty lacks distinctiveness; you can't remember her face after just one glance.
Jiang Wang sighed and said, "No rush, there are still two who haven't arrived yet."
The two he ordered were catgirls, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.
"How about these two?" Jiang Wang asked like a lackey.
Qin Ce glanced at it; it had two cat ears on its head and a tail at the back. "So that's what it is."
Yes, do you like it?
Qin Ce frowned. He didn't like it; he only felt it was vulgar and an insult to being a human being.
"Alright, you can have fun all you want, I'm leaving now."
Qin Ce had lost interest in staying any longer and got up to leave.
"Hey...Brother Ce, I ordered so much, you have to pay!"
"I'll transfer you in a bit," Qin Ce's voice came from the doorway.
Jiang Wang was relieved. He looked at the room full of beautiful women and couldn't stop smiling.
Qin Ce went back, but it was the middle of the night, and Qiao Xing was already asleep.
He didn't turn on the light and stood by the bed for a long time.
This was the first time in so many days that he had chickened out and dared not go to bed.
Perhaps it was the intense gaze, but Qiao Xing suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw a dark figure in front of the bed, which startled the groggy Qiao Xing.
"ah!"
She screamed instinctively, but Qin Ce reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth.
"Don't call out, it's me."
Qiao Xing smelled his familiar scent, and her tense body finally relaxed.
She pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing standing here instead of sleeping?"
"Can't sleep, standing for a while," he casually made up.
"..." This person is so strange. Why is he standing up if he can't sleep?
"So, can you fall asleep now?"
"I can't sleep."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "So, are you going to keep standing here?"
"Perhaps."
"..."
Qiao Xing reached for the light switch, but Qin Ce grabbed her wrist. "Don't turn it on."
"Why?"
"I can't sleep at all if I turn it on."
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that it made sense; the bright light would definitely make it impossible for him to fall asleep.
Moreover, she was so frightened by him that she was wide awake and her heart was still pounding.
"Then don't just stand there, come on up. Let's chat and maybe we'll fall asleep."
Qin Ce was silent for a moment, then said, "I think I'll stay standing."
"...What happened to you?"
"Well, I guess so."
"Can you tell me? I can give you some advice."
Qin Ce didn't actually continue standing; he sat on the edge of the bed and remained silent.
The room was pitch black, almost so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and the two of them could only see each other's outlines.
After a moment, Qin Ce said, "Forget it, let's go to sleep."
"Are you able to fall asleep now?"
"Um."
Qiao Xing lay down to the side to make room for him, "Then come on up, we're moving tomorrow, even if you can't sleep, close your eyes and rest for a bit."
Qiao Xing is now completely at ease with him, especially after that dream; it seems she subconsciously considers him a sister.
Moreover, even though they had shared a bed for so many days, he hadn't touched her at all—not in the true sense of the word, but while they were sleeping, he hadn't even placed his hands on her.
Even when she was drunk, he didn't take the opportunity to do anything, which made Qiao Xing even more convinced that he had no interest in women.
Qin Ce actually lay down, and probably because the lights weren't on, he no longer had the impulse to almost lose his mind that he had before.
Just stop thinking about it.
However, as soon as he closes his eyes, he can't help but go to the bathroom to take another cold shower.
Qiao Xing also thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep again in less than ten minutes.
After all, it's past 3 a.m., a time when most people are feeling sleepy.
A moment later, she habitually turned over and hugged the man beside her.
Because Qin Ce took over the spot of her pillow after sleeping with her, she could only hug whatever was available.
Qin Ce felt the softness in his arms, and his breathing became rapid.
He raised his hand as if possessed and hugged the person in his arms.
Unlike when she rode the electric scooter during the day, her waist seemed thinner and more supple, and she smelled even better.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and started thinking about things at the company.
But what came to mind was Han Yan, her impeccable words about him, and his irritating face.
It works quite well; it just turns ambiguous thoughts into a belly full of anger.
I just can't sleep no matter what.
This was the most difficult night Qin Ce had ever endured.
He knew that whatever he wanted to do for Qiao Xing, she wouldn't object; he could tell from the very beginning of their marriage.
But Qin Ce was unwilling to take advantage of someone's misfortune, nor did he want to gain such an advantage.
In his eyes, a union without affection is no different from that of animals.
The difference between humans and animals is that humans can control their desires, while animals cannot.
The next day.
Qiao Xing was awakened by Lin Shuang's phone call. When she answered the phone, she learned that Lin Shuang was already downstairs.
"Qiao Xing, Zhang Zhe and I came to help you move. What floor do you live on? You're not still in bed, are you?"
She instantly snapped out of it and quickly got up to change her clothes. "Get up, get up, I'm getting dressed!"
"It's already nine o'clock, you can really sleep! Go get dressed and call me."
"Okay, I'll come down to pick you up right away."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, threw off the covers, found her clothes, and hurriedly changed.
Just then, Qin Ce suddenly pushed open the door and came in, "My things..."
Qiao Xing was startled by him, and the clothes she had just picked up fell to the ground. She was only wearing underwear, and now she was completely exposed in front of him.
Her face flushed instantly, but only briefly. She then bent down to pick up the clothes from the ground and put them on.
It feels like facing a doctor; even though you know you're just a patient in their eyes, you still can't help feeling shy.
Qin Ce can't reconcile her with the person from before... who would get shy sitting next to him.
When exactly did she become so immune to him?
He suddenly remembered someone saying that girls have no image in front of people they don't like, and Qiao Xing now fits that description perfectly.
Then, Qiao Xing heard a loud door slam.
