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

Qin Ce held her in his arms, touched her hair, and said with a smile, "I'm just happy that you come to me now when you have something to do, which makes me, my husband, feel needed."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll look for you a lot from now on, so don't bother me."

"No, why would I find you troublesome? When you get married, you need each other. If you do everything by yourself and everyone goes their own way, what's the point of getting married?"

Qiao Xing nodded thoughtfully, "Well, what you said makes sense. I will trouble you more in the future, husband."

When he heard her calling her husband, Qin Ce lowered his head and looked at her with a more profound look.

She coughed and wanted to push him away, "Xixi is still outside, I'm going out..."

Before she finished speaking, the man pulled her back again. He lowered his head, held her cheek, and looked at her seriously.

After a while, he said, "You are just taking advantage of your pregnancy to light the fire and not put it out, right?"

"...I was wrong, I just spoke out of turn."

Qiao Xing froze, secretly annoyed that she rarely used this title, so it might sound a bit flirtatious. Moreover, during this critical period, Qin Ce was staring at him every day, and she felt like she was seeking death again.

"Call again."

"Stop making trouble. You said it started the fire. Do you want to add fuel to the fire yourself?"

"No matter, just shout again."

His voice was a little hoarse and a little ambiguous. Qiao Xing opened her mouth and suddenly couldn't shout.

"Don't shout? Then don't go out."

He hugged her, came over and kissed her on the lips. Qiao Xing quickly held his chin, "Okay, okay, I can't even scream."

Qin Ce stared at her, stopping half an inch away from her.

Qiao Xing's eyes averted and she called her husband in a low voice.

……

After a brief moment of silence, Qin Ce finally let her go, "Let you go first."

Qiao Xing twitched his lips and said, "I'm going out first."

Qin Ce did not stay with her, and Qiao Xing walked out quickly.

Xixi was still outside. She originally wanted to leave, but the old man insisted that she stay for dinner. She would not refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.

Qiao Xing sent a message to Wang Qin, telling her that Xixi was at his place and would send her back later so that Wang Qin would not worry again.

Soon the meal was ready, and Qiao Xing took her to the restaurant to eat.

After dinner, he asked Xingjiu to send Xixi back, but Qiao Xing said, "You go ahead. As a brother-in-law, please give it a try."

Qiao Xing blinked at him, thinking that in the past, when Xixi saw him, it was like seeing a ghost. Now she is finally not so afraid of him, and it is just a good time for the two to have a good relationship.

To be honest, Qiao Xing prefers to get along with Lin Xi than Wang Qin.

What my aunt said before was right, you still need to have relatives around you. She didn't have many relatives herself, especially after seeing so many lives and deaths, she cared more and more about the people around her.

Qin Ce paused, and naturally he would not refuse Qiao Xing's request. He nodded slightly, "Okay."

He casually took the coat, took the key from Xing Jiu's hand, turned around and said to Lin Xi, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. She was still a little nervous and looked up at Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing gave her a reassuring look, "Go ahead."

Lin Xi bit her lip, nodded, and walked over.

When she was with Qin Ce, she looked more like a child. She was not even as tall as Qin Ce's shoulders. Qin Ce carried her like a daughter.

When she arrived at the parking lot, she subconsciously opened the back seat door. Qin Ce suddenly said to her, "Sit in the front." Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then opened the passenger door and got in.

Qin Ce also got in the car and told her, "From now on, don't sit in the back of other people's cars, especially elders or leaders, otherwise others will become your driver."

Lin Xi turned her head and glanced at him. His face was still expressionless, giving people a very serious feeling.

Lin Xi nodded, "I understand."

"Ah."

Qin Ce drove out and the car drove slowly on the road.

After a while, Qin Ce suddenly asked her, "Your sister said you want to learn violin?"

Lin Xi became nervous again. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and nodded slightly, "Yes."

“Do you just want to learn the violin, or do you want to learn music?”

"...I don't quite understand."

"It's okay. You can go back and learn more about it. If you are only interested in the violin, go to a hobby class and develop an after-school hobby. If you want to study music, it is best to transfer to an art school."

"Um...Okay." Lin Xi didn't dare to say too much. She was still afraid of facing Qin Ce, and she was also afraid that they would know her true purpose of learning the violin.

Qin Ce nodded and said no more.

After a while, Lin Xi took the initiative to speak, "That brother-in-law..."

"how?"

"Can you keep it a secret for me? I don't want my mother to know."

"Okay." Qin Ce agreed without hesitation. After all, he was not interested in other people's gossip.

"Thank you."

Soon, Qin Ce sent Lin Xi to Shengli Community and personally sent her home. As a result, Wang Qin hadn't gotten off work yet, but He Fen and Wang Yue were at home.

He Fen opened the door and saw him coming. She immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Qin is here. Come in and sit down."

Qin Ce stood at the door and said, "No, I'll send Lin Xi back. Since she's already home, I'll leave first."

"Oh wait, wait a minute, I have something you can bring back to Xingxing."

Qin Ce paused and turned around again, "What is it?"

"I'll get it, you wait."

After He Fen finished speaking, she turned around and ran into the house. After a while, she came out carrying a basket with eggs in it.

Before Qin Ce could speak, He Fen said first, "These are local eggs, eggs from pure free-range chickens. I brought them from my hometown. You can take them back to the stars to eat."

Qin Ce was silent and raised his hand to take the egg, "Thank you."

Seeing that he accepted it, the smile on He Fen's face became even brighter, "Family, thank you. Xingxing is pregnant now, which is the time when nutrition is most needed. Let me tell you, there is nothing better than this kind of free-range eggs. We Those women in the village used to be too poor to afford those supplements..."

Qin Ce stood there and listened to her chattering for a long time. When she finished speaking, he said, "I have remembered everything. Let's go first."

Carrying a basket of eggs, he turned and left He Fen's house.

He Fen watched him go downstairs before going back. She was in a better mood because Qin Ce accepted the basket of eggs.

Wang Yue sighed when he saw her attentive look.

Hearing him sigh, He Fen couldn't help but glare at him, "You're a blockhead. You've been pretending to be dead all day long. I didn't even see you say hello when I came just now."

Wang Yue said, "You talked there for a long time, how could I have the chance to go up and say hello?" (End of Chapter)
