Chapter 76 I Just Like His Money
Qin Ce plopped down on the edge of the bed, his deep eyes staring straight at her.
Why are you sighing?
Qiao Xing came to her senses, her ears burning. Regardless of whether he liked men or not, he was, after all, a man.
Especially when he's dressed like that, the gender difference between the two becomes very obvious.
"No, it's nothing. It's too late, let's go to sleep."
After Qiao Xing finished speaking, she crawled into the quilt and turned her back to him. In Qin Ce's eyes, this action of hers was the most obvious sign of her disdain.
Since Qin Ce came of age... no, since he turned sixteen, he has been the center of attention for girls wherever he goes.
As he grew older, his features matured, and he became more and more mature, steady, and charming, attracting girls one after another.
But no girl has ever disliked him like this before!
She actually dislikes him?
She and Lin Yu could date for two years, yet she has the nerve to look down on him? Isn't he better than that kind of guy, Lin Yu?
Within a minute, Qin Ce had several mental turmoil sessions. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he turned and walked out of the bedroom.
The loud slamming of the door startled Qiao Xing so much that she jumped up and stared blankly at the doorway.
"What... Is he angry?"
Qiao Xing had no idea what he was angry about. Was it because he hadn't deleted Jiang Wang's name?
She hesitated for a moment, picked up her phone from the bedside table, found Jiang Wang's WeChat account, and was just about to delete it when a message came from the other end.
[Did you go back?]
Qiao Xing paused, thought for a moment, and replied: [Yes, I'm back.]
Jiang Wang: [Did Qin Ce say anything?]
Qiao Xing frowned and typed a reply: [No.]
Does saying you deleted him count?
However, she didn't dare say this aloud, so she typed again: "[Young Master Jiang, is there something you need from me?]"
Jiang Wang didn't reply for a long time, and Qiao Xing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Unexpectedly, the first question he asked after adding himself was about Qin Ce.
Could it be... that Jiang Wang is bisexual?
The thought sent a shiver down Qiao Xing's spine; it was terrifying.
Qiao Xing put down her phone and opened the bedroom door, but didn't see Qin Ce in the living room.
He must have gone to the bathroom. Qiao Xing was silent for a while, then closed the door and went back to sleep.
To Qiao Xing's surprise, she didn't find Qin Ce when she woke up the next morning.
She thought he had gone out for a morning run, but after he finished making breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock and Qin Ce still hadn't returned.
He should have been back by now, otherwise he would have been late for work.
She took out her phone and called Qin Ce, but he only answered when the call was about to automatically disconnect.
"What is it?" His tone was somewhat cold, just like it was last night at the karaoke bar.
Qiao Xing asked softly, "Are you coming back for breakfast?"
"No, I'm already at the company." Qin Ce said, then realized he seemed a bit stingy, so he added, "You eat by yourself, there's an urgent matter at the company."
"Oh, okay, then send me a message next time you don't eat breakfast at home."
Qiao Xing muttered to herself, "I'm almost late."
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then hummed in agreement, "Sorry."
"It's okay, then I'll stop talking to you for now."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone, grabbed the eggs and milk from the table, and left. He would be late if he ate at home.
She rode her electric scooter to the company, and before she could even sit down, Xiaobai immediately brought over breakfast and placed it on her desk.
"Qiao Xing, this is for you." Xiao Bai stared intently at her.
Qiao Xing was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Xiao Bai, whose face showed a hint of eager anticipation.
"I've already eaten, you can eat it yourself." Qiao Xing handed the breakfast back to her and thanked her again.
The light in Xiaobai's eyes dimmed instantly, and she said dejectedly, "It's okay, if you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."
She was actually prepared for this; how could Qiao Xing possibly persuade Jiang Wang?
I'm afraid their relationship is a bit ambiguous right now.
Seeing her dejected look, and remembering Jiang Wang's words from last night, Qiao Xing didn't know how to repeat them.
"Xiaobai, do you... really like Jiang Wang?" Qiao Xing asked hesitantly.
Jiang Wang was not a good man, but feelings are something that no one can explain.
Just like when someone told her that Lin Yu wasn't a good man, she ignored it.
"Like her?" Xiaobai suddenly laughed upon hearing this. "Why would you think I like her?"
"Ah, this..." Qiao Xing was also stunned. She looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously. The disappointment on Xiao Bai's face told Qiao Xing that she really liked Jiang Wang.
Xiao Bai said, "If you fall for someone like Jiang Wang, you're doomed. I'm not that stupid."
"and you…"
Xiao Bai glanced at her and didn't try to hide it. "I just like his money, that's all. Anyway, even if I said I really liked him, people would think I was just pretending. So there's nothing shameful about liking his money."
Xiao Bai's words truly surprised Qiao Xing.
Xiaobai is indeed very pretty, with an oval face, long, straight black hair, and a great figure.
If you put her on the internet, she would definitely be considered a goddess, and her appearance isn't the kind that's overly glamorous.
On the contrary, she is very aloof, like a fairy who doesn't eat the food of the mortal world, making it hard to associate her with the word "materialistic".
"What's wrong? Do you look down on me?" Xiaobai smiled, a smile tinged with self-deprecation and arrogance.
"No... I just didn't expect you to answer so frankly. There's really nothing shameful about it. Giving something to get what you want is no different from going to work."
Xiao Bai was also a little surprised; her gaze towards Qiao Xing softened considerably.
"You really think so?"
"Well, actually I didn't mean anything by asking you this question. I'm actually relieved to hear you say that, because Jiang Wang said some unpleasant things last night. If you really like him, I don't know how to tell you."
Xiao Bai understood what she meant and said frankly, "I can guess. Just tell me directly whether he is still willing to date me."
Qiao Xing nodded. "He said he doesn't care if you're willing."
"I see..." Xiaobai murmured softly. After a while, she looked up and said, "I understand. Thank you."
"Need not…"
Xiaobai seemed to remember something, and she lowered her voice and said, "Oh, right, there's something I need to remind you of."
"What's up"
"Didn't General Manager Wu ask you to write the proposal? Be careful, or someone else will steal your thunder."
"Picking the peaches" means having someone else steal the credit, and Qiao Xing's expression became serious.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
"No need, consider this as me returning the favor. Breakfast is still hot, eat it while it's hot."
After speaking, Xiaobai returned to her workstation, reverting to her previous aloof demeanor.
Qiao Xing glanced at the planner in his hand. In fact, this kind of thing was common in the company, so Qiao Xing was not surprised.
Otherwise, she would have given this plan to Wu Yun long ago. The reason she kept it from giving it to him was because she suspected there was something fishy going on.
Qiao Xing picked up the document and flipped through it casually. Since Wu Yun wanted it so much, why not give her an even bigger gift?
