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

Qiao Xing was not polite to him, put the bowl in front of him and started eating.

As expected of their specialty, this pork rib soup is so delicious.

After eating and drinking, we came out. The road was still blocked, but it was not as blocked as before. We just walked a little slowly.

It was past ten o'clock when I got home, and it was time to go to bed again, but Qiao Xing fell asleep in the office in the afternoon and was very energetic now.

After the two took a shower, they sat on the sofa. Qiao Xing held a fruit plate in his arms and watched TV. He couldn't help but complain, "After I stopped going to work, my schedule became even more chaotic."

She turned her head and pointed to a pimple on her cheek, "You see, I have an endocrine disorder and have pimples."

Qin Ce went over and took a look. There was a red pimple, as big as a grain of rice.

"I squeezed it for you."

Qiao Xing slapped his hand away, "Don't squeeze it blindly, it will leave acne marks."

Qin Ce took his hand back and said, "What should we do?"

"Just wait until it breaks on its own."

"Yeah, but the doctor said that endocrine disorders during pregnancy are normal, and it shouldn't be related to work and rest."

When she talked about this, Qiao Xing suddenly thought about what she had seen on videos these past few days, such as stretch marks, wrinkles, and various large and small problems that she couldn't take medicine for, and she began to feel anxious again.

"By the way, I saw this video yesterday. It's so scary. I won't be like this, right?"

She took out her mobile phone and opened the collection of videos to show him. Qin Ce lowered his eyes and saw that the woman in the video had a belly that became wrinkled, like a thousand layers of meat, and saggy after giving birth.

"Is she a twin?"

"I don't know, there's another one." She scrolled down and opened another video, which was similar and even more wrinkled than the previous one.

Qin Ce glanced at Qiao Xing without saying anything, "What videos have you been watching all day?"

"I don't know. The system pushed it for me. If I become like this, will you dislike me?"

Qin Ce sighed. Although he didn't understand why women always like to ask such questions, he still held Qiao Xing in his arms and said, "No."

"Really? But I'm still a little bit..." Qiao Xing thought for a moment. Regardless of whether Qin Ce disliked it or not, she herself couldn't accept it.

Qin Ce said, "Don't be afraid, you won't become like this."

"how do you know?"

"The doctor said."

"When did the doctor say that?" Qiao Xing thought about it carefully. She didn't remember what the doctor said?
Qin Ce ruffled her hair and said, "You can just ask the doctor when you go for a checkup next time."

With his words, Qiao Xing felt more at ease.

Qin Ce added, "Don't watch this kind of video to create anxiety for yourself. If you just watch it and keep it, are you already bored to this point?"

"Hey, I'm looking for some experience. After all, it's my first pregnancy."

Qin Ce glanced down at her, then looked away without speaking.

He picked up the remote control and found a hypnotic drama, "Watch TV with you."

"it is good."

This soap opera was indeed hypnotic. He originally intended for Qiao Xing to fall asleep while watching it, but Qiao Xing was not hypnotized and fell asleep first.

Qiao Xing used the remote control to skip the ending and change to the next episode, but she felt her shoulders getting heavier and heavier. She turned around and found that Qin Ce had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa at some point. The man's weight leaned towards her, and a His hand was still around her shoulders.

Because he had washed his hair, the hair on his forehead hung down, and the uneven hair fell between his eyebrows. The light from the TV screen cast bright and dark colors on his face.

At this time, he looked no longer as sharp as usual, but became much gentler and more youthful.

He doesn't look 30 years old, only 25-[-] at most.

Qiao Xing quietly turned down the volume of the TV and couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek.

Just after touching her twice, a big hand grasped her hand.

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment.

Qin Ce opened his eyes a crack and looked at her sleepily, "Are you still not sleepy?" Qiao Xing blinked and shook his head.

Qin Ce closed his eyes again, sighed, opened his eyes again, sat up straight, picked up the phone on the table and checked the time.

"One o'clock."

Qiao Xing touched her nose and said, "How about you go to bed first?"

He took the remote control from Qiao Xing's hand and asked her, "Is this TV good?"

"It's beautiful. The more you look at it, the more energetic you become."

"..."

Qin Ce was silent for a while, and he seemed to realize that the hypnosis he thought was different from the hypnosis Qiao Xing thought.

So, he quit the show, searched around, and finally changed to a news channel, one from abroad.

"Look at this."

Because it was already one o'clock in the morning, Qiao Xing didn't dare to say anything and just said oh.

This is so good that Qiao Xing started to yawn within 10 minutes of watching it.

She leaned in Qin Ce's arms, listening to the chirping sound on the TV, and fell asleep at some point.

Qin Ce couldn't sleep now.

By the time he finished reading, it was almost five o'clock. When he looked down, he saw Qiao Xing sleeping soundly in his arms.

He got up and picked up Qiao Xing and went to the bedroom. After putting her down, he changed his equipment and went out for two runs.

Qiao Xing was drowsily asleep, and a cell phone ringing woke her up. When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.

She picked up the cell phone on the bedside and saw that it was Tao Yang calling.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Early in the morning? It's almost lunch, aren't you still sleeping?"

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment and swiped his phone. Good guy, it's indeed 11 o'clock. It's over. I've slept until now. Will I have to suffer from insomnia again at night?

"What is it?"

Tao Yang said, "As for the game library, you don't know. Tianyue told us to do it first, and when it is completed, we will pay with the game. We think it is possible that you have been right. This guy I want to have sex for nothing.”

"Don't they give advance payment?"

"Shit, if I had made the advance payment, I wouldn't have made this call to you. I originally wanted to have a meeting with you in the morning, but you didn't reply to WeChat."

Qiao Xing scratched his messy hair and yawned, "Then what do you think?"

"We are considering whether to abandon this project. We feel that this is another trap. We had no choice before. Even if it was a trap, we had to step into it."

"If Liya can get the final payment, we can have the confidence to screen out some bad projects."

Qiao Xing said, "Hasn't the result of Liya's review come out yet?"

"No, I don't know what He Yu is up to."

"Let me ask."

"It's useless to ask. Shen Boyan keeps asking every day to no avail. He can't help. What's the use of asking? Let's have another meeting when you are free."

Qiao Xing had a headache. How could there be so many things?

In fact, Tao Yang and the others also had good intentions. They asked her to attend the meeting so that she, as a shareholder, could have a sense of participation. Otherwise, if they made the decision privately, they would be afraid that Qiao Xing would have objections.

"Tomorrow."

Qiao Xing pushed the time to tomorrow to see if the matter could be solved today. Maybe there would be no need to go tomorrow.

Thinking of the smoky atmosphere in that room, she really didn't want to go.

So, she decided to ask Xiao Lin this time, no matter so much. (End of chapter)
