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

Yang Han's voice could be heard faintly from outside. Compared with Xue Ling's sadness, he seemed much calmer.

Qiao Xing glanced at Xue Ling. She probably heard it too, so she cried even harder.

It seemed like everything she did was a joke, extremely ironic.

Qiao Xing raised his hand, patted her shoulder and said softly: "Stop crying, Auntie is sleeping."

"In order to take care of you, she stayed up all day and night. Don't wake her up."

Xue Ling was startled and turned to look at Joey on the sofa. She bit her lip and sobbed quietly.

Qiao Xing leaned forward, hugged Xue Ling, patted her back, and sighed silently, but didn't know what to say.

She had already said all she could say.

Although Xue Ling cried very quietly, she still woke up Joey who was sleeping.

Joey opened her eyes and looked over here. When she saw Xueling waking up, her eyes turned red.

He stood up from the sofa and walked over slowly.

Xue Ling raised her head and saw Joey's unspeakable expression, and she felt particularly guilty.

Joey raised his hand, and Xue Ling subconsciously shrank her neck without moving away, preparing to receive Joey's slap.

But the imaginary slap did not fall, but a gentle touch.

Xue Ling opened her eyes, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes. Under the light, tears flickered back and forth in her eyes.

"Silly boy." Joey choked out three words and held Xue Ling in his arms, "Don't do this kind of thing again, okay?"

Xue Ling closed her eyes, tears bursting out of her eyes again, and she hummed hoarsely in Joey's arms.

Qiao Xing stood aside, looking at the scene of mother and daughter hugging each other, and she looked dazed for a moment.

Suddenly she remembered that someone had hugged her like this a long time ago.

It's a pity that those memories are so long ago that only a vague outline is left. No matter how much I think about them, I can't remember them.

She silently retreated and closed the door, her heart still a little heavy. She didn't know whether it was because of Xue Ling's love, or because of Joey's love for Xue Ling.

Seeing her disappointed look, Yang Han couldn't help but ask, "Is Xue Ling awake?"

Qiao Xing came to his senses and nodded: "Yes."

Yang Han's expression also became serious. He glanced at Qin Ce and hesitated whether to go in.

Qin Ce said: "You'd better not go in now."

"why?"

"Since you want to cut off her thoughts, don't give her hope. Let's wait until she gets better."

Yang Han was enlightened by Qin Ce's words, and he nodded in agreement: "You are right, then I won't go in."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly.

"I really don't understand. We haven't seen each other for so many years. How did she fall in love with me?"

If it were another little fan girl, he might be proud of it, but now this person is Xue Ling, and he only gets a headache when he mentions it.

"Then I'll leave first." Yang Han stood up and glanced at Qiao Xing again, "You two don't stay here anymore. Go back to bed early. You don't have to go to work, right?"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned around and walked towards the elevator.

After he left, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce looked at each other.

Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone shout again, "Brother."

Qin Ce's face changed visibly. He looked tense and stared at the visitor.

Qiao Xing also turned around and looked over. It was the same Shi Yi she had seen in the taxi that day. He was with Shi Yi.

She had always thought that the two were a couple, but later she met Shi Yi and realized that they were not.

This man's appearance is five points similar to Qin Ce's, except that this man looks brighter, and his eyebrows are not as cold and stern as Qin Ce's, and are much softer.

She was looking at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi was also looking at her.

After a while, Qin Yi stood still in front of her, hesitated for a while, and then said, "You are my brother's wife, right?"

Qiao Xing came to his senses and quickly stood up to greet him, "Hello, my name is Qiao Xing."

Qin Yi looked at her again for a while, nodded and said: "Hello, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qin Ce coughing hard several times beside him.

The conversation between the two stopped abruptly, and they both turned to look at Qin Ce.

"what happened to you?"

"Are you okay bro?"

Qin Ce put his fist against his lips, coughed twice more, frowned and said, "Maybe he caught a cold due to the wind during the day."

Qiao Xing said with a worried look: "Then let's go see a doctor. We happen to be still in the hospital right now."

Qin Ce nodded and stood up, "You come with me."

Qiao Xing didn't think much, "Okay, then..."

Qiao Xing still doesn't know his brother's name.

Qin Ce said again: "Xiao Yuan, I leave this place to you."

Qin Yi's expression was unnatural when he was suddenly called by his nickname. No one had called him by this name for many years.

"Oh, I understand." Qin Yi responded awkwardly.

Qin Ce took Qiao Xing's hand and left without stopping.

The two came to the emergency room, registered a number, and went to the clinic to see a doctor.

The doctor asked him: "What's wrong?"

Qin Ce joked casually: "Itchy throat, cough."

"Have a headache or dizziness?"

"A bit."

"My throat is just itchy, does it hurt?"

"A bit."

"I think I caught a cold. Give me some fluids and some medicine. I'll get better soon."

"...No, just give me some medicine."

Qiao Xing stood by and was a little surprised. Why didn't he say he had a cold?

He insisted on no infusion, and the doctor did not insist, so he prescribed some medicine.

Qiao Xing grabbed the order and said proactively: "I'll go, you can rest here."

Qin Ce opened his mouth, but before he could speak, she ran out.

He sighed helplessly.

Soon, Qiao Xing went to get the medicine. When she came back, Qin Ce was already waiting for her outside.

"I got you some medicine. I'll get you some boiled water later and take a drink first."

"The same goes for eating when you go back." Qin Ce said, "Let's go back first, I'm a little sleepy."

"Okay, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a cold, and you still sat with me in the corridor." Qiao Xing complained, this person doesn't take his own body seriously.

She thought again about the last time Yang Han said he went to the hospital after eating hot pot. He still hasn't told her that he can't eat spicy food.

"Can you drive if you are sick? How about we take a taxi?"

Qin Ce had already taken out the keys from his pocket and unlocked the car. "It's okay. It's just a cold, not a terminal illness."

Qiao Xing was a little amused when he heard this: "That's not what you said when I caught a cold last time. Why do I just have a cold here?"

Qin Ce opened the car door and pushed her in. "This is different. You have a fever, and my resistance is stronger than yours."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to refute his fallacy.

He got in the car and drove straight out.

Qiao Xing thought of the man just now again, "By the way, is your brother's name Qin Yuan?"

Qiao Xing remembered that he said he had a younger brother, and that he was with his father, but his brother had been here for so many days and she had not seen him.

Qin Ce suddenly didn't know how to answer the question.
