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

When Qiao Xing and Qin Ce arrived, Wang Qin and Lin Xi were waiting for them at the gate of the community.

As soon as Qiao Xing got out of the car, Lin Xi trotted up to her and held her hand tightly.

"elder sister."

Qiao Xing rubbed her head, "I told you, don't think so much. The more scared you are, the more you will trap yourself in one place. If you keep doing this, what should you do in the future?"

She thought that after Lin Xi decided to do that, she would completely release herself.

But he didn't expect that her dependence was still so strong, which made Qiao Xing feel relieved.

Lin Xi lowered her head and said in a small voice that was almost inaudible, "I keep having nightmares and I'm scared."

Her courage only appears when Qiao Xing is around.

Because Qiao Xing was her strength, when Qiao Xing was away, she felt as if she had no support. No matter how she resisted, she still felt powerless.

Therefore, she could not control herself from being afraid of those nightmares, nor could she persuade herself to get out of those shadows.

Qiao Xing held her slightly cold hand and said to Wang Qin, "I'll take her away first. When things come to an end, I'll call you. Don't worry too much."

Wang Qin nodded. She glanced at Lin Xi, but she still felt guilty, "Xingxing, why don't we forget it... You have to take care of Xixi while you are pregnant, I really..."

Qiao Xing said helplessly: "Look at her current state, can you convince her not to come with me?"

Lin Xi held Qiao Xing's hand tightly and pressed her whole body close to her, as if she was afraid that Qiao Xing would run away in the next second.

Qiao Xing said: "It's getting late, you should go back first, I will take her away."

Wang Qin no longer refused and said, "Then you should go slower on the road."

After getting in the car, perhaps because Qiao Xing was around, Lin Xi fell asleep leaning on Qiao Xing's shoulder not long after leaving.

Qiao Xing pushed her loose hair behind her ears and couldn't help but sigh softly, "She has suffered this at such a young age, and I don't know when she will be able to truly face these things alone. "

Qin Ce glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, "You are influencing her, and she will grow."

Qiao Xing may not realize how important she is to Lin Xi, but in Lin Xi's heart, Qiao Xing has already taken root deeply.

Even compared to Wang Qin, she was more willing to believe in Qiao Xing.

When we got home, Lin Xi was ready.

The three of them walked into the living room and found that the lights in the living room were still on. Grandpa Qin, who had already gone to rest, was sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for Qiao Xing and Qin Ce to come back.

"Xingxing, Xiaoce, you are back."

Qiao Xing said in surprise: "Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Grandpa Qin said: "I wanted to sleep originally, but when I heard you going out, I was always on edge, so I sat here and waited for you to come back."

Qin Ce explained to him, "I went to pick up Qiao Xing's sister. Nothing happened. You don't have to worry."

"I just asked you why are you going out so late at night." Grandpa Qin looked at Lin Xi who was standing behind Qiao Xing. "She looks a lot fatter than before."

Qiao Xing said: "Xixi, you should be called Grandpa Qin."

Lin Xi looked at the old man with benevolent features and timidly said, "Hello, Grandpa Qin."

Grandpa Qin knew what happened to Lin Xi, so he didn't ask why Qiao Xing wanted to take Lin Xi over. He just smiled and said: "Hello, hello, we are all a family. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell your sister. If it doesn't work, Just ask Xiaoce, he will help you solve it." Lin Xi nodded, and Grandpa Qin's words made her feel a long-lost warmth in her heart.

Grandpa Qin said: "Now that you are back, I'm relieved. Okay, it's getting late, let's go and rest."

Qin Ce said: "I will accompany you in."

Qiao Xing and Lin Xi said, "Sister, take you to your room."

Lin Xi lived in the guest room. Although she didn't clean it up much, it wasn't too messy. She wanted to change the sheets and quilt cover for Lin Xi. As she was looking for it, Qin Ce came out of Grandpa Qin's room and said, "I'll do it."

He hung up his coat and rolled up the cuffs a little. He took out a brand new quilt cover from the cabinet, then took off the old one and put it on.

A set of movements can be performed smoothly without any help from anyone.

If he wasn't used to seeing Qin Ce doing housework, Qiao Xing couldn't believe that a person of his status could do these things so skillfully.

After changing the quilts, Qiao Xing and Lin Xi said, "This is the bathroom. There is a bathing area inside. I will bring you your pajamas later. You can clean yourself up first and then go to bed early."

After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he told her, "If you want to eat, just tell my sister. You live here just like you live in your own home. You don't have to be too restrained. My sister is in the room next to me. If you need anything, come to me." Do you understand?"

Her careful and considerate instructions made the tip of Lin Xi's nose feel a little sore for no reason.

If she was strong enough and strong enough, she wouldn't have to worry about Qiao Xing.

It was precisely because of her care that Lin Xi felt like a very small child every time she was in front of Qiao Xing.

This may also be the reason why she feels dependent on Qiao Xing.

While Qiao Xing was talking, she saw Lin Xi shedding tears. She laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did my sister say something wrong? Did it make you feel wronged?"

Lin Xi wiped her tears and shook her head.

Qiao Xing deliberately joked to tease her, "Then you just don't want to live with your sister?"

Lin Xi shook her head harder and spoke faster, "That's not what I meant!"

Qiao Xing smiled and said: "I know you are not, so live here with peace of mind. Your matter has not been finished yet. I am not worried about where you live. When this matter comes to a complete conclusion, I will send you away." Go back, okay?"

Lin Xi held back tears and said, "Okay."

After sitting with Lin Xi for a while, Qiao Xing and Qin Ce returned to the room.

When Qiao Xing looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

She didn't feel anything before, but as soon as she saw the time, she couldn't help but yawned.

Qin Ce came over and sat next to her, "Are you tired?"

Qiao Xing said: "No, I'm just wondering whether I can succeed in this matter."

"Why not?"

Qiao Xing sighed, "I deliberately made the matter bigger so that they have to pay attention to it, but they will definitely consider the pros and cons behind this matter. I'm afraid that if I do so much, the truth will eventually come out." Covered up.”

During this time, Qiao Xing has been suffering from back pain, so before going to bed, Qin Ce would rub Qiao Xing's waist.

He placed his palm on Qiao Xing's waist and said gently, "Follow your idea, even if it doesn't succeed, I'll still be there, don't worry." (End of Chapter)
