Chapter 79 I'm an expert at dealing with women
"Hmm?" Qin Ce's expression darkened further. "What do you mean?"
"No, it's nothing, I was just asking." Qiao Xing touched her nose. This was the first time she had encountered something like this, and she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Qin Ce didn't like men, how could someone as outstanding as him possibly end up marrying her?
"Alright, let's go back." Qin Ce didn't even ride her electric scooter anymore, and turned to leave with the groceries in his hand.
Qiao Xing was stunned. Why was he angry again?
She quickly rode her electric scooter to catch up with him, "Qin Ce, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just exercising." He said with a straight face, not even looking at Qiao Xing.
"Oh, then give me the vegetables, I'll go back and cook."
"..."
Qin Ce paused, and Qiao Xing also braked hastily, but she was still far ahead of him, so she quickly reversed back.
Qiao Xing held out her hand. "Here, give it to me."
Qin Ce's forehead vein throbbed. He handed the dish to Qiao Xing, who then disappeared in a flash.
He stared at Qiao Xing's departing figure, his lips twitching slightly. He suddenly realized what he was getting angry about.
However, I still felt inexplicably choked up.
When he got back, Grandpa Qin noticed that his expression was off. The old man smiled and came over to him, then turned to look at Qiao Xing, who was cooking in the kitchen, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Xingxing?"
"No." Qin Ce turned his head and took out his phone to send a message.
Grandpa Qin smiled mysteriously and clicked his tongue, "Don't try to fool me. I've lived to be this old, and I can tell what kind of fart you young people are going to fart the moment you bend over."
Back in the day, he was a prominent figure in the business world, having seen countless people. Qin Ce, this kid, was still a bit too green in front of him.
Qin Ce smirked, "Still so vulgar at your age."
"Haha... It's because I'm old that I can do whatever I want. Tell me, what's going on?"
Qin Ce couldn't bring himself to say it, mainly because he didn't know what he was angry about. How could he explain it?
"I don't know." After a long pause, he managed to utter this sentence.
Grandpa Qin raised an eyebrow: "Really? Then why are you angry?"
"have no idea."
"You brat..." Grandpa Qin was so angry he almost swung his cane at him, but luckily Qiao Xing came out with the dishes.
"Time to eat."
The old man put away his cane, put on a smile, and said, "Coming, coming."
The three sat at the table, the atmosphere somewhat strange. Grandpa Qin's eyes darted back and forth between the two, but he couldn't see anything unusual about Qiao Xing. Only Qin Ce seemed off.
Grandpa Qin asked casually, "Xingxing, is there anything you want to share with Grandpa today?"
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then blinked. "No."
She suddenly remembered something, "Oh, there's something! Qin Ce has been transferred to the secretariat. Is that a good thing?"
Now that he has a job, Qiao Xing no longer needs to worry about him.
"The secretariat?" Grandpa Qin gave his grandson a strange look. "Really? Haha, that's certainly good news."
"Xiao Ce, work hard and strive for a promotion and raise as soon as possible, so that I and Xingxing can benefit from your success."
Qiao Xing thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Qin Ce thought it sounded sarcastic.
Qin Ce put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm going to the company."
After saying that, he grabbed his coat and walked out without looking back.
Qiao Xing bit her chopsticks, looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then glanced back at Grandpa Qin. "Grandpa, I feel like he's acting really strange today."
Grandpa Qin nodded seriously, "You noticed it too?"
"Um."
"So what happened between you two?"
Qiao Xing racked her brains for a long time, but she still didn't know. She hadn't said anything, yet he got angry for no reason.
"I just asked him if he still wanted to move, and he got angry."
"that's all?"
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement.
Grandpa Qin pondered for a while before saying, "Oh, could it be that he wanted to spend some time alone with you and thought you didn't want to move?"
"...How could that be?"
"Anything is possible. Let's eat. That's just his temper. Don't worry, he'll calm down by tomorrow."
"Really?"
Grandpa Qin laughed and said, "Of course, don't I know my own grandson?"
Actually, the old man also found it strange, as his grandson rarely showed his emotions unless he really couldn't control himself.
So Qiao Xing must have said more than just about moving; there must have been something else that upset him.
But this is also a good thing. Qiao Xing can affect his emotions. What does that mean?
This shows that he has already started to care about Qiao Xing. If it were someone unimportant, he wouldn't even bother to look at her, let alone get angry.
Thinking of this, the old man's smile deepened.
That brat, he was so stubborn before, how come he fell in love so quickly than he expected?
Grandpa Qin's laughter sent a chill down Qiao Xing's spine. She coughed and buried her head in her rice, quickly shoveling it into her mouth.
Meanwhile, Qin Ce didn't go to the company either, but went to a bar, which was the place Yang Han had arranged.
He sat on the sofa with a stern face. Yang Han glanced at him, then looked at Jiang Wang, who was drinking with a girl in his arms.
He went over to Qin Ce and nudged his arm. "Old Qin, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Qin Ce turned to look at Yang Han. "Is it that obvious?"
Why is it that anyone can tell he's unhappy right now?
"Obviously, your face is practically drooping to the ground. Isn't that obvious?" Yang Han teased with a smile.
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip. In just a few seconds, he had already composed himself.
When he put down his glass again, he reverted to his usual indifference.
Yang Han: "..."
"Old Qin, did you and your wife have a falling out? Or is it because of that kid Jiang Wang?"
"No." Qin Ce took out a cigarette, tilted his head, lit it, took a drag, and the smoke curled up.
Then he asked, "Yang Han, how do you usually get along with Xiao Lin?"
Yang Han's eyes lit up, and her face lit up with a burning gossip. "Just get along like that, you saw it all."
Jiang Wang walked over at some point. "I know this question well. When he's with his cousin-in-law, it's like a cat and a mouse are together. He doesn't dare to utter a single word."
"Get out of here, go drink your wine!" Yang Han grabbed an apple from the table and threw it at him.
Jiang Wang jumped up to dodge, and said indignantly, "That's how it is! You're the coward and you're blaming me. In the whole of Chongqing, who doesn't know you're afraid of your wife?"
"..." Yang Han was unhappy.
Damn, it's really true. Sometimes when he comes to the club for a drink, the girls tease him about it.
I don't know who leaked the news.
"Shut up! We're talking about Lao Qin, get lost!"
Jiang Wang still didn't leave. He had already run up to Qin Ce's side with practiced ease, and said with a grin, "Brother Ce, I'm an expert at dealing with women. Ask me, don't ask that henpecked husband!"
