Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi immediately realized what was happening, "You saw everything?"
"More or less," Qi Jincheng nodded.
So he was actually hiding not far away, enjoying the show the whole time?
Qi Jincheng gave her an affirmative answer with his eyes.
As for Xi'er's acting skills, he really had to look at her in a new light; the only word to describe them was "brilliant."
But... was this an act, or was it her natural attitude and reaction?
Qiao Xi opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she heard a ding, indicating that the elevator had arrived at the underground parking lot.
As she walked out, Qiao Xi was relieved to find that there was no one else there besides them.
"Let's go home first." Qi Jincheng took her hand and walked towards where he had parked his car.
Unlocking the car, Qi Jincheng didn't rush to get in. Instead, he reached out and blocked Qiao Xi in front of the car door, staring intently at her with his deep eyes as he asked, "Xi'er, have you thought it through?"
Faced with the sudden car-pickup, Qiao Xi's heart involuntarily quickened, but she couldn't understand his question at all: "What should I think about?"
Qi Jincheng's deep eyes suddenly darkened, and he lowered his voice to say, "Lu Mingxuan's reputation may be ruined because of this."
Qiao Xi scoffed and said, "How is that enough? I want him to never have a chance to recover."
Qi Jincheng's gaze deepened as he stared at her, a terrifying aura emanating from him. "Can I assume that Xi'er's hatred stems from love?"
Without hesitation, Qiao Xi shook her head repeatedly and said with utter disdain, "They don't deserve it!"
This answer barely made Qi Jincheng back down a little, but it didn't lessen the pressure he exerted on her at all.
Qiao Xi instantly realized why Qi Jincheng had asked that question. She carefully cupped Qi Jincheng's face, made him look into her eyes, and then told him, "If I had to give a reason, it would probably be that after meeting A-Jin, I saw some people for who they really are."
"Has Xi'er fallen for someone else?" Qi Jincheng probed her once again.
Qiao Xi frowned immediately, pouted and said to him with dissatisfaction, "Honey, have some confidence in yourself. You are not my backup plan, and you are not someone anyone can compare to. You are my one and only, the one I, Qiao Xi, am willing to love with my life."
"I've said it before, I'll prove it to you with my actions. Just take my words with a grain of salt."
There was nothing she could do; she had done so many stupid things in the past. But from that night on, every word she said to him was true, and the only thing left to prove was through her actions.
She knew that it wouldn't be easy to make Qi Jincheng believe her. Although she hadn't deceived him in this life, the things that happened between her and Lu Mingxuan would still bother Qi Jincheng to some extent.
After Qiao Xi met his gaze sincerely for a moment, Qi Jincheng slowly released her hand and said, "How can that be?"
At the same time, he opened the passenger door and let Qiao Xi sit down.
On the way back, Qi Jincheng didn't say a word, and Qiao Xi didn't break the silence either.
But as soon as the car stopped in front of the affiliated hospital, Qi Jincheng quickly got out, opened the passenger door, and without saying a word, carried Qiao Xi upstairs to their room.
Along the way, Aunt Liu, Butler Zhao, and the servants all saw it.
It was still broad daylight, and Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed being carried back to her room like this.
However, once the door closed, Qiao Xi felt nothing was wrong.
After Qi Jincheng put her on the bed, she took the initiative to loosen his tie, and Qi Jincheng let her do whatever she wanted.
...
Qiao Xi, her face flushed, wrapped her arms around Qi Jincheng's neck, looking at him with eyes full of love.
Qi Jincheng gently stroked Qiao Xi's cheek, his eyes suddenly becoming serious as he declared to her with a firm tone, "From now on, what Xi'er sees and thinks about can only be me."
Qiao Xi blinked a few times unconsciously, then said thoughtfully, "Then Grandpa, Uncle, and... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.
The kiss carried a hint of punishment, causing Qiao Xi to hiss in pain. Qi Jincheng slowly released her, gently lifting her chin and saying in an unquestionable tone, "Anyone of the opposite sex is not allowed."
"You mean... same-sex is fine?" Qiao Xi couldn't help but want to be mischievous.
Qi Jincheng raised his head slightly and said, "Xi'er can give it a try."
Could Qiao Xi not see the danger hidden in his faint smile? She immediately asked tactfully, "Can I know in advance what the consequences will be?"
"Xi'er, are you sure you want to know?" Qi Jincheng pressed his body down even further.
Qiao Xi shook her head repeatedly and said, "Forget it, the possibility is not high. Let's not make trouble for ourselves."
Qi Jincheng's smile instantly widened, and his eyes were full of doting affection as he leaned down and placed a kiss on Qiao Xi's forehead.
Just as he was about to get up, Qiao Xi suddenly hugged him, looking shy and alluring at his good looks, and said, "One more time?"
An hour later, Qi Jincheng let her go and stopped, otherwise she would be too tired to eat dinner if things continued like this.
Qiao Xi stared intently at Qi Jincheng's every move, from the moment he got up to go to the bathroom and came out to change clothes in front of her, taking in his stunningly handsome face!
What Qiao Xi envied most was his physique. If she hadn't been reborn, she really wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a good 'perk', let alone experience the happiness she was experiencing now.
Qi Jincheng looked up and met Qiao Xi's lecherous gaze, deliberately asking, "What are you looking at?"
"You," Qiao Xi said with unusual candor.
Qi Jincheng walked towards Qiao Xi while buttoning his shirt. He seemed to deliberately slow down his buttoning motion before asking, "Does it look good?"
Qiao Xi praised him sincerely, saying, "It's more than just 'good-looking'."
“You’ll have to take responsibility if you see this.” Qi Jincheng suddenly sat down next to Qiao Xi, his shirt half-open, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs.
Qiao Xi reached out and poked his abs, saying generously, "I'll allow you to look back."
After saying that, she quickly slipped into the bathroom.
Qi Jincheng watched her sneak away with a doting smile, the emptiness in his heart gradually being filled.
After the sound of water stopped in the bathroom, Qi Jincheng walked over and gently knocked on the bathroom door, saying, "Your dad is looking for you."
Qiao Xi stopped drying her hair abruptly and asked, "Did he call you?"
In order to avoid being bothered by Qiao Guangyuan, she deliberately did not give him her new contact information.
"Mm," Qi Jincheng nodded.
"Let me go back?" Qiao Xi asked again.
"I want you to call him back," Qi Jincheng replied.
