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

In order not to disturb Shen Boyan's rest, Qiao Xing chatted with him for a while and then came out of the ward.

Xingjiu had been waiting at the door. When he saw Qiao Xing coming out, he asked, "Are you going back now?"

"Well, go back."

The two of them had just walked a few steps when they met Lin Xi. She was walking towards this side, supporting a boy.

Lin Xi didn't expect to meet Qiao Xing here, and was stunned for a moment, "Sister, why are you here..."

Qiao Xing looked at her and then at the boy she was supporting, "What are you..."

Lin Xi quickly explained, "This is the classmate I introduced to you before. He sprained his foot. I came to the hospital with him."

Qiao Xing took a closer look and then remembered, "It turns out to be him."

She asked with concern: "Is your foot okay? Is it serious?"

The little boy shook his head and said, "Thank you sister for your concern. It's not serious. It's just that she was too nervous and insisted on taking me to the hospital."

Lin Xi blushed and retorted in a low voice: "Nonsense, you are obviously in pain and sweating..."

Her voice was so low that neither Qiao Xing nor the boys could hear her clearly.

Qiao Xing asked Lin Xi, "Do you need me to take you back?"

Lin Xi quickly said: "No need, sister, we can just take a taxi back. I won't bother you."

Qiao Xing did not insist, "Okay, then you should pay more attention."

After they separated, Qiao Xing took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the backs of Lin Xi and the little boy.

She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding, but she always felt that Lin Xi became particularly different in front of this little boy.

Because of what happened in the past, Lin Xi was very wary of the opposite sex.

Especially in school, she was even afraid of contact with male classmates. It was Wang Qin who specially proposed to the teacher that she and female classmates should be at the same table.

But just now, not only did she take the initiative to support the little boy, but her tone of voice when talking to him was completely different.

Her only impression of that little boy was his bright smile and polite attitude during the video.

But the person who can make Lin Xi not resist and take the initiative to care should not be a bad person.

Lin Xi doesn't have many friends. It would be nice if she could really meet a like-minded friend.

When Qiao Xing returned home, the nanny happened to be cooking. She walked into the kitchen and said to the nanny: "Auntie, you can make an extra portion for dinner today. It can be anything. The taste should be as light as possible."

The aunt turned to her and asked, "Are there any guests at home?"

"No, I want to take it to the hospital."

Grandpa Qin who came out of the bedroom happened to hear her words and asked, "Why are you going to the hospital again if you didn't just come back?"

Qiao Xing explained to him: "Grandpa, it's like this. My colleague has no one to take care of him in the hospital. I thought of making him some food and sending it over, as a way of showing some kindness."

Grandpa Qin knew that she had always been kind, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder, "Why is there no one to take care of him? Doesn't he have family or friends?"

"I have friends, but I can't spare the time. As for my family... they all seem to be in the capital, so it's probably inconvenient to come over."

When Grandpa Qin heard this, he unknowingly remembered that when Qin Ce was ill, he took care of Qin Ce alone.

It was still in the old house at that time. It was raining outside. He was in poor health and it was inconvenient to go to the hospital with a big young man in tow.

Qin Ce's fever became more and more serious, and Grandpa Qin was running around anxiously. The He Fen family who lived across the door happened to be away at that time, so he could only run up and down to beg other neighbors. He finally sent Qin Ce to the hospital. At that time, he was worried that Qin Ce would have an accident, so he called the Qin family.

But who knows, no one in the Qin family, whether Qin Liang or Wang Yu, has ever taken a look.

In the past, when Qin Ce and Qin Liang were in tit-for-tat, Grandpa Qin couldn't figure out what made father and son like this.

But now that he thinks about it, he can understand.

Qin Ce's prejudice against Qin Liang may have accumulated from such small things one by one.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what, family members are the most important. No matter how big the issue is, you should let it go."

Qiao Xing didn't know why he suddenly felt like this, and was worried that he might have something on his mind, "Grandpa, if you feel bored staying at home these two days, how about I go out with you for a walk?"

Grandpa Qin waved his hand, "Old Meng said he wasn't feeling well a few days ago and has been recuperating at home. I'm too lazy to deal with the others. It's fine just staying at home. There's no point in going out. I might as well waste my money. Look how well I take care of these flowers."

Qiao Xing felt much relieved, and she quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, in our community, you are probably the best at growing flowers. Look, you have almost turned this balcony into a small garden."

Grandpa Qin smiled heartily, not to mention how proud he was.

At dinner time, after the nanny prepared the meal, Qiao Xing asked Xing Jiu to be taken to the hospital.

Xing Jiu looked at the thermos box handed over by Qiao Xing with a complicated expression, "Madam, are you sure you want me to send this over?"

Qiao Xing looked at him doubtfully, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

In fact, there is no big problem. Qiao Xing is just a colleague, giving Shen Boyan some food. This is human nature.

After all, no matter when Qiao Xing first joined the company or now, Shen Boyan took special care of her.

Although Qiao Xing didn't know why Shen Boyan didn't let her family know about her illness, she was not a cold-blooded person. Now that something like this happened, she couldn't just sit idly by.

But what Xing Jiu was worried about was completely different from what Qiao Xing thought.

But looking at Qiao Xing's attitude, he felt that his worries were a bit unnecessary.

Perhaps in the hearts of Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, Shen Boyan is just a simple colleague to them.

He hesitated for a moment, then took the thermal box over, "I'll send it over right away."

In the evening, Qin Ce called and asked Qiao Xing what he was doing.

"I just finished eating and am ready to lie down."

Qin Ce was quite surprised when he heard this, "Are you so good today?"

Qiao Xing said: "Of course, I promised you that I will take good care of myself."

Qin Ce asked: "Have you gone to the company?"

"No, Shen Boyan was hospitalized for surgery. I went to the hospital to see him today." Qiao Xing said truthfully, "He doesn't have many friends in Chongqing. The few in the company are busy with new projects, so after returning from the hospital , I asked Xin Jiu to send him some food."

In fact, Qin Ce's expression changed from the moment he heard Shen Boyan's name.

But Qiao Xing's calm tone made him wonder whether he should mind or not.

He believed that Qiao Xing had no thoughts about Shen Boyan because he had enough confidence in himself.

But how should he tell Qiao Xing that the friendship between men and women in this world is not as pure as she imagined? (End of chapter)
