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

Xiao Lin was stunned again, "What do you mean?"

Qin Ce said: "Whether it's relationships, marriage, or interests, all your trade-offs seem to favor interests."

Xiao Lin was suddenly speechless.

"Some things are better separated."

Qin Ce left these words and left without looking back.

Xiao Lin was left stunned in place for a long time. Qin Ce was right. The moment she learned that Xue Ling was Qin Ce's sister, she began to weigh the pros and cons.

She didn't want to confront Qin Ce, so she decided to give up the marriage for her own benefit or that of her family.

He didn't even ask Yang Han for his opinion, nor Qin Ce's attitude. Instead, he went directly to Qin Ce to express his attitude.

Qin Ce walked out of the corner of the stairs and met Yang Han head-on.

Obviously, Yang Han was eavesdropping here.

"Have you heard all?"

Yang Han didn't say anything, but his expression was ugly.

Without saying a word, he turned and went back to the emergency room.

Xiao Lin did not come back, but left the hospital. Yang Han turned his eyes and stared at the end of the corridor, fearing that he would miss her appearance.

But when the lights in the emergency room went out, Xiao Lin didn't show up. It was impossible not to be disappointed.

When Joey saw the doctor coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going, doctor? My daughter..."

The doctor nodded and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, it was delivered in time. I washed the stomach and stayed in the hospital for observation for a few days. If there are no adverse reactions, then there will be no problem."

Joey's tense body finally relaxed and he leaned against the wall weakly, "God bless you."

Xue Ling was transferred to the ward, with Joey guarding her inside and three grown men outside.

Yang Han said: "Since she is fine, I will go back first."

Qin Ce nodded slightly.

The two brothers Qin Yi and Qin Ce were left, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Qin Ce rarely spoke actively, while Qin Yi didn't know what to say, so both of them remained silent.

I don't know how long it took before Qin Yi said: "I apologize to you for what I said before."

He was referring to what was said in the car.

Qin Ce said calmly: "I don't take it to heart."

"But I still don't understand. You just got married, and it's not a shameful thing. Why don't you let me go to your house to meet mom?"

Qin Ce looked at him with an unpredictable expression, twitching the corners of his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in your wife anyway." Qin Yi looked quite angry.

Hearing him mention his wife, Qin Ce raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock.

He said: "Then you stay here with me, I'll leave first."

Before Qin Yi could speak, he had already turned around and left.

Qin Yi stared at his back and couldn't help but frown.

Qin Ce returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qiao Xing sitting on the sofa, staring at the TV, his eyes were unfocused, and he was obviously wandering.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qiao Xing suddenly came back to reality and stared straight at the door.

Qin Ce changed his shoes, walked to her and sat down next to her. His eyes scanned her haggard face, "You didn't sleep?"

Qiao Xing stared at him but didn't speak for a long time.

Qin Ce was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, I came back late."

Qiao Xing looked away and looked away, "It's okay, I just got up."

He raised his hand to hold Qiao Xing's face, turned her around, and his eyes fell on the dark blue under her eyes, "Are you angry?"

He didn't say it was okay, but when he did, the tip of Qiao Xing's nose suddenly turned sour and tears welled up in her eyes.

"No!" She still argued bravely.

Qin Ce sighed, "Xue Ling is being rescued in the hospital, so I didn't come back."

Qiao Xing was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "What's going on?"

"It's a long story."

Qin Ce simply told her that Xueling ran to find Yang Han, but was killed by Yang Han. She was so angry that she ran to commit suicide, and then went to the hospital.

Qiao Xing suddenly felt guilty after hearing his explanation.

"Is that so...I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Misunderstanding what?"

Qiao Xing looked away uncomfortably and said hesitantly: "I thought you started to hate me."

Okay, after she finished speaking, she heard Qin Ce laugh.

She frowned and glared at the man, "Why are you laughing!"

Qin Ce raised the corner of his mouth with unclear meaning, "I haven't caught anything yet, how can I hate you?"

As if she understood his subtext, Qiao Xing's ears felt a little hot. She pushed Qin Ce, "What do you mean, then you will hate me if you catch it?"

"I didn't say that."

"That's what you mean!"

Qin Ce was stunned for a moment. Seeing her angry look, he had no choice but to say, "I was wrong. I chose the wrong words and spoke carelessly. Don't be angry."

Qiao Xing wasn't very angry at first, but when she heard his apology, she couldn't continue to take Qiao, so she walked down the steps.

"Forget it, I don't care about you."

Qin Ce said seriously, "Well... thank you wife for your careless kindness."

Qiao Xing's face became hot again, and she stood up suddenly, "What are you talking about...I'm going to cook."

Qin Ce grabbed her hand and pulled her back, and Qiao Xing sat back down again.

"Breaking nonsense?"

Qiao Xing broke away from him awkwardly, "Oh, I'm going to cook!"

Qin Ce quit, grabbed her again, and asked reluctantly: "Then what am I to you?"

Qiao Xing's face was so red that she was about to bleed. She gritted her teeth and said, "You haven't slept all night. Aren't you sleepy?"

"Change the subject."

"..."

Qiao Xing changed the subject again, "After dinner, I'll go to the hospital to see Xue Ling."

This time the topic was changed successfully. Qin Ce let her go and his expression became serious, "Okay."

Qin Ce asked again: "So you didn't sleep last night?"

Qiao Xing touched her nose, feeling a little guilty, "I fell asleep..."

She didn't dare to admit that she had been having trouble sleeping all night because she was afraid that Qin Ce would think she was being naughty.

Qin Ce could tell at a glance that she was lying, but he didn't expose her.

"But I'm not asleep. You sleep with me for a while and go to the hospital together when you wake up."

"Ah...but I haven't asked for leave yet."

"I'll invite you."

As Qin Ce spoke, he took out his mobile phone to send a message to Han Yan. He was so quick that while Qiao Xing was still wondering whether to invite him, he had already invited him.

"Okay, I'm going to make breakfast." Qin Ce picked up his phone and went to the kitchen.

Qiao Xing was indeed very sleepy. After all, he hadn't slept a wink all night. After relaxing, he naturally felt very sleepy.

When she was sitting at the table to eat, her eyelids were drooped. Qin Ce glanced at her from time to time, fearing that her face would fall into the bowl.

After dinner, Qiao Xing yawned and went to brush her teeth. Then she went to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

When Qin Ce came back from washing the dishes, he saw her lying on the quilt, sleeping deeply, even wearing slippers on her feet.

He sighed helplessly, helped her take off her shoes, picked her up and put her in the bed, covered her with the quilt, and closed the bed curtain.

Qin Ce was just about to go out when he suddenly found that his sleeve was pulled.
