Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up as she asked him to confirm, "Is it okay?"
"Why not?" Bai Xuelin retorted.
Yes, that's how it could have been done. The reason she asked again was just for peace of mind.
Qiao Xi readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll talk to him and see if he has any other plans for the weekend."
If Qi Jincheng has something to do on the weekend, she can't force him.
Bai Xuelin said knowingly, "If your Ajin doesn't have time, I'll pick you up. You can treat it as a learning opportunity."
Fearing that Qiao Xi might not go if Qi Jincheng didn't go, Bai Xuelin had to give her another reminder.
Qiao Xi could completely understand her uncle's good intentions. You know how willful she was in her past life, throwing herself at Lu Mingxuan and wanting him to accompany her everywhere she went. If she couldn't take him with her, she would never go to any jewelry auction.
Now, whenever Qiao Xi thinks of that scumbag's face, she wishes she could chop him up and feed him to the dogs!
But to make him suffer even more, she could only endure 'repaying' him little by little.
After lunch, Qiao Xi, having nothing else to do, turned on her computer and found a well-reviewed fighting game. She registered an account with the nickname: 'Kill That Scumbag!'
The game allows players to choose between playing against AI or being matched with the system.
Qiao Xi practiced with the AI first, and once she was familiar with it, she started pairing up with the system.
Because her name is likely to offend some 'scumbags', almost every man will go all out to fight Qiao Xi, and the final result is that some win and some lose.
Qiao Xi didn't care about the outcome; she was just playing to pass the time, but after playing for a while, she found it quite interesting.
Before she knew it, it was evening, and Qiao Xi happened to encounter another cockroach that was impossible to kill.
It's unclear whether he was male or female, but after being defeated by Qiao Xi countless times, he added her as a friend and started issuing challenges to her relentlessly, but he always ended up failing.
Another round ended, and Qiao Xi won without any suspense.
The opponent was quiet for less than ten seconds before sending another challenge: "Again!"
"I'm not coming anymore, it's boring." Qiao Xi rejected him directly. She felt that she could beat him even with her eyes closed. She didn't know if it was because her skills were getting better and better, or if her opponent was just too weak.
The other party persisted, sending a challenge, "This is the last time!"
Seeing how eager he was to be tortured, Qiao Xi reluctantly satisfied him.
Halfway through the match, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Xi, keeping her hands steady, said, "Come in."
Upon seeing the person who entered, Qiao Xi instantly lost all interest in the game. However, considering the other party's strong desire to die, she could only reluctantly end the battle as soon as possible.
"Honey, wait for me a moment." Qiao Xi didn't forget to greet Qi Jincheng.
Qi Jincheng frowned slightly as he walked towards her, and then he saw the game screen in the fighting game.
He had no idea that his Xi'er liked playing games, especially such violent and bloody ones?
Then he noticed Qiao Xi's account name and couldn't help but read it aloud, "Kill that scumbag?"
Just as he finished reading the title, Qiao Xi finished her final battle. She smiled and explained the account name to Qi Jincheng, "I just picked it randomly."
Qi Jincheng seemed to have some doubts. He unconsciously associated the nickname with himself, so his expression darkened.
Qiao Xi roughly understood what he was thinking and quickly comforted him, "Honey, don't overthink it, you're definitely not that scumbag."
"I really just picked it randomly, with the determination to help my fellow women get rid of scumbag men."
Qi Jincheng still looked skeptical, but then he noticed the account name that had just been used to fight Qiao Xi: 'White Streak in the Waves'?
Why does this name look so familiar to him?
After glancing at it a few times, Qi Jincheng didn't think much of it and asked Qiao Xi for her opinion: "Shall we continue?"
Qiao Xi shook her head vigorously, "I'm not continuing."
Playing with this kind of 'kid' is a bit like bullying.
Qiao Xi ignored the other party's invitation to a rematch and shut down her computer.
Qi Jincheng naturally took her hand and said, "Let's go down for dinner."
"Okay." Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng walked out of the study hand in hand, went downstairs to the dining room.
The servants at Fuyuan were used to seeing them holding hands, especially Aunt Liu, who even learned another meaning of 'dog food' because of them.
Aunt Liu smiled and pulled out chairs for them, then set out the tableware, dismissed the other servants, and left them there to enjoy their dinner.
It seems like this has been going on for a while now, and Qiao Xi didn't ask any more questions. Firstly, she didn't like being served meals like this, and secondly, she really wanted to spend some time alone with Qi Jincheng.
Qiao Xi suddenly remembered something important and asked him, "Honey, this weekend is the jewelry auction held by Junshang Jewelry. Do you want to attend?"
"Xi'er wants to go?" Qi Jincheng asked her in return.
Qiao Xi nodded and said, "My uncle brought me two tickets. If you have time, would you do me the honor of coming?"
Qi Jincheng nodded knowingly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "They sent the invitation a couple of days ago, asking me to bring my wife along."
It turns out that someone else had already extended an invitation to Qi Jincheng before her; she wasn't the first.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given Qi Jincheng's status, he would definitely be invited to a jewelry auction like this. It just depends on whether he's willing to do the honor.
"Are you going?" Qiao Xi asked him, blinking her eyes.
Qi Jincheng followed Qiao Xi's arrangements completely, "If Xi'er wants to go, then let's go."
Hearing him say that, Qiao Xi was naturally very happy, but she still had a question, "Should we split up? Or..."
It's impossible to reveal their identities directly, but perhaps he has other ideas?
Qi Jincheng understood what she meant and said calmly, "There are private VIP rooms and private parking spaces inside."
So… Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up again, and she asked with a look of surprise, “Then can we participate together?”
"I meant holding hands," Qiao Xi added.
Qi Jincheng nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes."
"That's great!" Qiao Xi was so happy she wanted to cheer.
Seeing the genuine joy on her face, Qi Jincheng was also very pleased. He even asked her, "Xi'er, do you really want to come with me?"
Qiao Xi's answer was affirmative, "Of course, I want to take you everywhere except school."
"The school also wanted to bring them, but the conditions didn't allow it."
