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

Chapter 196 Shocked and Unbelievable
I don't know how long he sat down there. He looked at the crumpled cigarette in his hand and threw it out with his backhand.

Joey didn't come back at night. He and Qin Yi talked all night long in the hotel. After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years.

Qiao Xing didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already bright outside. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to look at the sofa in the corner.

Too bad it's empty.

She sighed, lifted the quilt and got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth, feeling quite sober.

She wanted to go into the kitchen, but she subconsciously glanced at the door. Qin Ce's shoes seemed not to be there.

So...he didn't come back all night?
Qiao Xing suddenly began to worry again, whether something had happened to him.

Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of fingerprint unlocking came. She immediately cheered up and looked towards the door.

It was Qin Ce who was back. He was still wearing the suit he wore yesterday, and there was nothing visible on his face.

He came in alone, changed his shoes and walked into the living room. When he saw Qiao Xing, he was stunned for a moment.

"Wake up so early?"

"Well...it's usually this time. Have you had breakfast? I'm just about to make it."

Qin Ce walked towards her and raised his hand to touch her forehead. It was no longer hot.

"I'll do it." Qin Ce said.

Qiao Xing said hurriedly: "No, I'll just come. You can sit down for a while."

"It's okay." Qin Ce went directly into the kitchen. He came to the row of spice jars, felt from his pocket, took out a piece of label paper, bent down to take the jars over, and put the labels on the jars. .

He paused briefly in front of the few jars containing white particles in the back.

Qiao Xing saw that he was about to try with his fingers and couldn't help but go over to remind him.

"This is salt." She pointed to the jar in the middle.

Qin Ce put the label with 'salt' on it.

"This is white sugar, this is MSG, and this is white pepper."

Qin Ce finished posting them one by one, and then Qiao Xing took a few more jars from the left and explained to him: "This is flour, this is starch, this is baking powder, cornstarch, soda powder, baking powder..."

Qin Ce stared at the indistinguishable powder, his expression breaking a little with her introduction.

"Can you tell the difference yourself?" he asked suddenly.

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can tell the difference. They are different."

"What's the difference?"

Qiao Xing didn't know how to explain it to him: "It's just that the texture of some powder is different and the feel is different."

"Wait."

Qin Ce turned around and walked out. After a while, when he came in, he had another piece of label paper in his hand, but there was no printing on this label.

He took out his pen, put the labels on, and asked her, "What is this?"

"Flour."

Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth, not sure if she was just messing around, but he still followed her instructions and wrote labels on the cans.

Then he said: "Okay, go out, I will do it."

Qiao Xing was a little worried about him, "Are you really able to do this?"

Qin Ce didn't refute her, turned around and washed his hands, "Then you watch me do it."

After washing his hands, he rolled up his sleeves, took out a few eggs, and started to light the fire to make breakfast.

Qiao Xing watched from the side, and it was hard to imagine that a man wearing such a suit and ties would be standing in the kitchen frying eggs.

His movements are not very skillful, but the steps are correct, and he can control the heat quite well.

The most important thing is that he can actually do something that even Qiao Xing can't do!Just grab the handle of the pot and shake it, and the eggs will turn over!
This operation shocked Qiao Xing. Her eyes widened in vain, and she began to wonder if he had secretly gone abroad to learn cooking skills that night.

Not only did he fry eggs, he also fried ham. "Try it." Qin Ce handed the plate to her.

Qiao Xing took the plate dullly, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it...it was better fried than her.

Seeing her stunned, shocked and disbelieving eyes, Qin Ce raised the corner of his mouth without any trace.

Qiao Xing's guess was correct. In the past three days, he had indeed secretly gone out to study.

It's just that he learns quickly. Now he can basically cook the home-cooked dishes that Qiao Xing can make. He can also do the things that Qiao Xing can't.

"Is it tasty?"

"Okay, delicious... You are so awesome. This is only your second time cooking and you are doing so well."

As far as frying eggs is concerned, Qiao Xing's fried eggs are not so beautiful until now. Sometimes they will fall off or break when flipping.

"That's good."

Qiao Xing took two bites, then put the plate down, stared at him for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Qin Ce, you didn't come back last night, are you okay?"

Qin Ce paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, "It's okay."

He only said two words and didn't explain anything. Qiao Xing knew that he wouldn't say anything if asked again, so he didn't ask again.

She took out the prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Qiao Xing took his car and went to the company together.

She took three days off, but no one in the department paid much attention to it, and no one asked her about it.

Only Xiao Hu came over to talk to her about the planning.

It's been almost a week since Qiao Xing came. People in the department knew she was here to study, so they basically didn't talk to her. Only Xiao Hu was responsible for guiding her.

Although he didn't do anything.

Xiao Hu said: "There is still no progress in the development department. I feel like we are all about to lose our jobs."

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "How is it possible? You have all been individually selected to establish this department. It is an elite talent. You cannot lose your job if anyone loses your job."

Xiao Hu smiled sheepishly, "It's not as good as you said. It makes me feel embarrassed to praise you."

"It's really amazing. I was shocked when I saw those planning projects before. If we changed our company, we would never be able to do it."

"Yeah, haha... It's okay. They are all beta versions. If it is the official version, it may be more stringent. Then I will probably have to work endless overtime."

"You've done so well, why should you be strict?" Qiao Xing was even more shocked.

"Yeah, our manager... neither. The main reason is that our boss's requirements are too high. Sometimes if you pass the manager's test, you may not be able to pass the boss's test."

"It's a pity that you only stay for half a month. I wish you could participate."

Qiao Xing wanted to participate, but time and ability did not allow for it. Xiao Hu's words made her a little scared.

The two were chatting when Qiao Xing's cell phone rang again.

She quickly took it out and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number. She subconsciously thought of Lin Yu.

Qiao Xing didn't want to answer, so he hung up.

Unexpectedly, within ten seconds, the call came in again. Qiao Xing stared at the beating screen and frowned.

Xiao Hu saw her reaction but said nothing.

In the end, Qiao Xing had no choice but to answer the phone.

As expected, Lin Yu's voice came over there, "Qiao Xing, what are you afraid of? You don't even dare to answer the phone?"

Qiao Xing covered her phone and whispered, "I'm at work, please stop calling!"

"Okay, come to the hospital and I won't call you. Otherwise, I'll change my phone number and call you every day. Have you ever heard of phone bombardment? You won't be able to sleep at night."
