After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Grandpa Qin put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed, "I don't know you yet. You keep all your thoughts and ideas in your heart, but you act like nothing happened. When Qin Ce was here, you could still talk to Qin Ce, but now that Qin Ce is gone, you are even more unwilling to talk."

Something like this happened to Qin Ce suddenly, it would be a lie for Qiao Xing to say that he didn't feel sad.

But she also knew that she was not the only one who felt uncomfortable.

At least she couldn't show it in front of Grandpa Qin.

"Grandpa, I'm really fine. The doctor has said that Qin Ce will wake up, and I believe she will wake up."

Grandpa Qin said meaningfully, "If you were just worried about Xiao Ce, I might not say these words to you. Tell me honestly, are you thinking about something else in your heart?"

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She probably didn't expect Grandpa Qin to see through her thoughts so thoroughly.

As soon as Grandpa Qin saw her expression, he knew that he had guessed right.

He said, "Okay, stop hiding things in front of Grandpa. Tell Grandpa whatever you're thinking."

Qiao Xing pursed her lips and slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand. "It's nothing, actually. It's mainly because too many things happened in the past two days. I don't know how to accept it. Sometimes I wonder if I hadn't followed Qin Ce to the capital, would he not have had such a thing happen to him?"

Grandpa Qin was not surprised that Qiao Xing would say such a thing.

On the contrary, he was very happy that Qiao Xing would say that.

Because before Qiao Xing married Qin Ce, Grandpa Qin knew that Qiao Xing was always a child who only reported good news and not bad news.

She is more rational than emotional, so her ideas are very straightforward on many things. This is why she never wanted to rely on others no matter what happened in the past.

So Grandpa Qin was very glad that Qiao Xing would say such words.

Regardless of whether this matter is her responsibility or not, the fact that she can have these thoughts and speak out what is in her heart at least won't keep her in a closed-off state, because that would be too tiring.

"Xingxing, do you know why I wanted Qin Ce to marry you so much?"

Qiao Xing shook his head and said, "Are you anxious to have a great-grandson?"

Grandpa Qin was amused by her. "Child, no matter how anxious I am, I can't just find someone to marry Xiao Ce, right?"

Qiao Xing thought about the reason why she married Qin Ce.

She thought silently in her heart that Qin Ce at that time was not just an ordinary person to her.

Grandpa Qin continued, "In fact, for Xiao Ce, with his personality and status, no matter from which angle, he should find someone who is similar to him in every aspect to marry."

Qiao Xing understood what Grandpa Qin meant when he said that everything was almost the same.

In simple terms, it means a good match.

Qiao Xing asked, "Then why do you still fancy me?"

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Because it's suitable."

Qiao Xing let out an "ah", not quite understanding.

She and Qin Ce are not particularly compatible in terms of family background, personality, or even world views.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about those weird relatives in her family and all kinds of messy things when she was with Qin Ce. Any one of them would be enough to make people complain for days.

This is also the reason why even Qin Fei looked down on her when she came to the Qin family.

Although she didn't like Qin Ce, Qin Ce was still the eldest son of the Qin family. From Qin Fei's perspective, Qin Ce's identity was unmatched even by a hundred Qiao Xings.

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Sometimes, how to judge whether a person is suitable or not is not only based on external conditions, but more on the future of the two people."

"You didn't mind Xiao Ce having no money, and he didn't have a problem with you because of your family affairs. He was willing to accompany you to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and you were willing to accompany him to face all his past. These are suitable."

Grandpa Qin's words suddenly brought back Qiao Xing's memories of the past.

When Qiao Xing and Qin Ce were together at that time, they didn't think about anything.

Don't care about feelings, don't care about money, and don't care about losing.

So Qiao Xing was the most relaxed at that time.

Qiao Xing pursed her lips and smiled, then said to Grandpa Qin, "It's all thanks to you that I was able to meet someone as good as Qin Ce."

Grandpa Qin shook his head and said solemnly, "I should be the one thanking you and saying that you have given Xiao Ce a complete family."

Qiao Xing's nose felt sore for no reason. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandpa, what are you doing? Don't say such things for no reason."

Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

He forgot that Qiao Xing was pregnant and was very emotional, so she wouldn't listen to anything like this.

Grandpa Qin went back to what Qiao Xing said at the beginning.

He comforted Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, I know that since coming to the capital this time, you have been tossed around with all sorts of things inside and outside, and you haven't had a peaceful day. Don't worry, as long as Xiao Ce survives this time, you will have a good life from now on."

Qiao Xing naturally believed what Grandpa Qin said.

No matter what happened, she never lowered her expectations for the future.

Grandpa Qin continued, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Many things have causes and consequences, and they are all predetermined. Even if you hadn't appeared, it would have happened anyway. It's just a matter of time."

Qiao Xing nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."

Qiao Xing is a smart person. She can understand some things even if Grandpa Qin doesn't say them explicitly.

Grandpa Qin smiled with relief, picked up the chopsticks again, and said to Qiao Xing, "Okay, let's eat."

After dinner, Qiao Xing wanted to stay with Grandpa Qin for a while longer, but Grandpa Qin insisted that she go back to rest and sleep.

"You are the one who needs rest the most right now. Why do you always accompany an old man like me? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about my great-grandson. Can you bear to let the child be tossed around by you all day long?"

Grandpa Qin's serious tone couldn't help but make Qiao Xing laugh.

Although she had been accompanying Grandpa Qin the whole time, she only walked a few more steps in the morning and did not do any physical work.

If someone who didn't know the truth heard what he said, they would think that she, as a pregnant woman, did a lot of things in a day.

Grandpa Qin gave the order, and Qiao Xing could only listen to him obediently, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and you should have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Grandpa Qin nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Qiao Xing, "Are you used to the new house that Xiao Ce bought?"

Qiao Xing was stunned, "How do you know Qin Ce bought a new house?"
