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

Chapter 162 I’ve been quitting smoking for three days
Does this mean, let her take the initiative?

Qiao Xing was so embarrassed that her toes curled up. She slowly raised her eyes to look at Qin Ce's face.

Each of his facial features is very delicate and three-dimensional, and his eyes are deep, with a bit of teasing hidden in them.

Qiao Xing stared at him for a long time and realized that he almost didn't recognize this face.

She secretly took a deep breath, and her heart tightened.

But this bad man hid behind him, and Qiao Xing did not kiss him at the expected distance.

She was so shy and angry that she looked like a female gangster.

Just when she was about to stand up and leave, he came up and kissed her lips.

The anger that was about to explode was extinguished by this warm touch.

"Close your eyes."

Qiao Xing quickly closed her eyes. It was the first time for both of them, so they were somewhat unfamiliar.

Just as he was about to have an in-depth communication, there was suddenly a violent slamming of the door closing outside.

Qiao Xing was so frightened that she suddenly opened her eyes, pushed Qin Ce away and stood up. Unexpectedly, her legs became weak and she fell to the ground awkwardly.

Qin Ce was too stunned to catch her.

Qiao Xing was lying on the ground, and she wanted to find a hole to get in.

Shame.

Qin Ce quickly pulled her up, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Xing lowered his head and shook his head, "I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, he quickly escaped from the study, just in time to see Joey open the door and go out.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Joey paused, looked back at Qiao Xing, and said, "It's okay. That girl Xueling ran out. You can sleep without worrying about us."

After speaking, she opened the door and went out.

Qiao Xing turned to look at Qin Ce who was following him, and said, "Is Xue Ling going to be okay? How about we go out and look for her too?"

Because he was worried about Xue Ling, Qiao Xing temporarily forgot about the embarrassment just now.

"I'll just go, don't run around." Qin Ce said, picking up the coat next to him and walking away.

Qiao Xing opened his mouth, but he was already out.

Naturally, she couldn't sleep at home, so she could only sit on the sofa and wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qin Ce came back, but he was the only one who came back.

"Where are Auntie and the others?" Qiao Xing quickly stood up and asked.

"It's downstairs, don't worry." Qin Ce took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, "Go to bed early."

The nervousness faded away, and the embarrassing scene just now came to mind again. Qiao Xing didn't want to care about him and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Early the next morning, when Qiao Xing got up, Joey and Xueling were already back.

I don’t know what the two of them said last night, but Xue Ling seemed to be normal today and even greeted Qiao Xing with a smile.

Qiao Xing also nodded and said good morning.

"I'm going to the breakfast cart, what do you want to eat?"

Joey said: "Don't bother, we're ordering takeout."

"what?"

Ordering takeout every morning?What kind of wealthy family is this?

Just as Joey was about to speak, the delivery man called. After Joey answered the phone, he called Qin Ce again.

Ask him to bring breakfast when he comes back.

Joey waved to Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing quickly walked over.

She took Qiao Xing's hand and sat down next to her, and said with a smile: "Xingxing, we live here with you, so there's no need to be so polite. Besides, we're not here to trouble you."

"So you don't have to worry about us about eating, we will take care of it ourselves."

"But you came all the way..."

Joey interrupted her, stretched out his hand and rubbed Qiao Xing's face, "Okay, listen to me, okay?"

Qiao Xing's face was rubbed flat, and she was embarrassed to avoid it, so she could only say vaguely: "Okay then."

Joey was amused by her, "It's so cute."

After a while, Qin Ce brought breakfast up.As soon as Qiao Xing saw him, she remembered the embarrassing thing last night. She was so flustered that she wanted to have an affair and even fell down. Just thinking about that scene made the breakfast tasteless.

Joey said: "By the way, I made an appointment with Xingxing's aunt yesterday to go to their house today. Let's go together later."

"It just so happens that I'm going to meet Xingxing's mother."

Both of them are married, and the in-laws have never met, so they can't explain it.

Hearing that Joey was going to see Wang Qin, Qiao Xing's hand paused slightly.

Qin Ce glanced at her without saying anything.

After dinner, Joey asked how many people there were in their family so that he could buy gifts.

Qiao Xing wanted to dissuade him, but Qin Ce grabbed his wrist. He spoke first: "Six people."

"Then let's go to the mall first."

Joey didn't know what was coming to her mind. She said to the two of them: "You two can go shopping by yourselves, while Xue Ling and I will go shopping. It was decided happily."

Qin Ce nodded in agreement, "Yeah."

When Qiao Xing heard Joey's words, she felt inexplicably panicked.

She knew the prices of the shopping mall she went to, and Joey deliberately paid her off, fearing that she would think the things were too expensive.

Maybe this was a good intention, but in Qiao Xing's view, this invisibly distanced herself from them.

When dignity needs others to maintain it, it no longer exists.

After arriving at the place, Joey took Xueling to the mall. Qiao Xing and Qin Ce sat in the car, speechless for a while.

Qin Ce suddenly held her hand and said, "Don't think too much."

Qiao Xing was slightly startled and turned to look at him.

He could always guess what she was thinking.

"I didn't think so."

"My mother likes you very much."

"I know..." Qiao Xing looked away and turned to look out the window. There was no sun today and the sky was gloomy.

Qin Ce looked at her disappointed look and opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but just held her hand a little tighter.

He suddenly said: "I have been quitting smoking for three days."

Qiao Xing suddenly turned to look at him. Looking at his serious expression, Qiao Xing felt a sadness in her heart, which kept welling up in her eyes.

She suddenly smiled, "I know."

He raised his hand and touched Qiao Xing's cheek with a complicated expression. His fingertips fell on the corners of her eyes and wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Joey went shopping very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, he came out carrying large and small bags of things.

"Let's go," Joey said with a smile. She seemed to sense that something was not right in the atmosphere in the car.

"What's going on Cece? You've been bullying Xingxing for half an hour since Mommy left, right?"

Qiao Xing quickly explained: "No aunt, we have been a little sleepy after sitting in the car for too long."

"That's it." Joey saw through it and didn't say anything, "Then let's go, I won't be sleepy when we get there."

Qin Ce started the car and drove to the old community.

After knocking on the door, my aunt soon ran over and opened the door. My aunt dressed up specially today and wore new clothes, but the moment she saw Joey, her clothes became very tacky.

"Oh, the in-laws are here, come in quickly, everyone happens to be here."

Auntie enthusiastically invited a few people in, and as soon as they entered the room, everyone was there.

"In-laws, I bought you a gift."

Auntie smiled from ear to ear, "Come just as you come, bring any gifts, look at the big and small packages, why don't Xiaoye come over and help pick them up!"

Wang Ye stood up and came over to take the things.

Lily on the side was a little surprised when she saw the logo on the bag, but considering Qin Ce's identity, it seemed strange to bring these things over.

Joey smiled and said, "Oh, I don't know what you all like, so I just bought it casually. Don't dislike it."

"I don't mind it, I don't mind it. Look at what you are wearing, what we are wearing. We don't dare to accept the gifts you gave us!"

But you are not polite at all when you put it away.

Joey glanced at the people in the room and saw Wang Qin at a glance.
