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

Qiao Xing placed the chess pieces and said, "No, I learned it from Grandpa. You taught me well."

"Hahaha……"

Qiao Xing played two more games with Grandpa Qin, and it was noon before he knew it.

Qiao Xing didn't expect that time would fly so fast when she was with Grandpa Qin.

The nanny had already made lunch. Qiao Xing originally wanted to ask Qin Ce if he would come back for lunch, but when he took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call, he decided to forget it after thinking about it.

He kept her at home without saying a word, so she didn't want to call him.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang. Qiao Xing came back to her senses and looked down, it was Shen Boyan.

Qiao Xing knew immediately that he called her to ask why she didn't go to the company.

However, after the call was connected, Shen Boyan did not ask her why she did not come to the company, but asked her about her lines and copywriting.

After the two talked for about ten minutes, Shen Boyan was silent for a moment and then asked Qiao Xing, "Why didn't you come to the company today?"

In fact, Shen Boyan could guess the reason, but he still asked without giving up.

Because if it was really what he thought, he was more concerned about Qiao Xing's attitude.

Naturally, Qiao Xing couldn't tell Shen Boyan that it was Qin Ce who left her at home on his own initiative.

"It's just what happened yesterday. My husband was worried about my health, so he asked me to rest at home for two days."

"Oh."

Qiao Xing said apologetically, "It's my fault for not telling you in advance. If there is any urgent work that I need to do in the company, you can send it directly to my computer."

Shen Boyan hesitated for a few seconds, said nothing, and then said concernedly to Qiao Xing, "You should rest first, I will take care of the company's affairs."

"By the way, has the official dubbing time been determined? I'll see if I can speed up the progress and get the rest out."

Shen Boyan said, "Not yet. The contract has just been signed. Even if we want to match, it will have to wait until next week. Don't worry, take your time."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Qiao Xing suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, "How is Tian Guo? Her cousin didn't come to cause trouble again, right?"

Shen Boyan originally didn't plan to tell Qiao Xing about this, but when Qiao Xing asked, he could only tell her.

"Tian Guo said that his cousin had a car accident this morning and was seriously injured. He was rescued, but he has become a vegetative state."

"What?" Qiao Xing was stunned.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He is a good person, but yesterday he was threatening others ferociously, but today he is lying in bed and has become a vegetable.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to lament the impermanence of the world, or whether to say that this was retribution from her cousin.

It could also be that God was kind-hearted and felt that Tian Guo and her mother had a hard enough time, so this happened.

But no matter what the reason is, things have happened and no one can change the outcome.

When hanging up the phone, Shen Boyan paused and asked Qiao Xing, "Are you still coming to the company?"

Qiao Xing can't guarantee whether he can go to the company now.

But she couldn't bear to tell Shen Boyan directly that she couldn't go, so she could only say tactfully, "My belly has reached the point where I need to raise a baby. I really can't guarantee whether I can go, but don't worry, even if I'm not in the company for the time being, , I will also finish the work on my hands and will never cause trouble to anyone.”

"Yeah." Shen Boyan responded, unable to explain how he felt. If Qiao Xing really doesn't come to the company, it must be because of Qin Ce.

Qin Ce is an adult, and he must know that what happened to Qiao Xing is not enough to make Qiao Xing give up his job.

But since Qin Ce did this, there must be a reason.

And this reason is likely to be on him.

After all, Qin Ce is not a fool, so he can't see anything.

Shen Boyan can solve many problems calmly, wisely and simply.

But only in the case of Qiao Xing, he always gets entangled again and again and falls into self-conflict.

He was thinking if Qiao Xing was really trapped because of him.

So should he consider letting go?
At noon, Qin Ce did not come back.

Qiao Xing didn't know whether he was afraid that she would tell him about going to the company, so he avoided her on purpose, or he was really busy, and he didn't have time to call her back now.

Qiao Xing thought about it carefully and felt that the former reason was more likely.

So Qiao Xing simply ignored Qin Ce.

Anyway, he would come back someday, and when he came back, it would not be too late for her to tell him something.

Qin Ce is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, and things can always be communicated.

Qiao Xing had dinner with Grandpa Qin and asked him, "Grandpa, what do you want to do this afternoon? If there is nothing else, can I go out with you?"

"I don't want to go anywhere. It's good to stay at home."

Grandpa Qin made himself a cup of tea, shook his head and said.

Originally, Grandpa Qin wanted to drink this tea with Qiao Xing, but unfortunately, drinking tea was not good for Qiao Xing.

Grandpa Qin took a sip of the wine, savored it for a few seconds, and then looked at Qiao Xing, "You seem to be out of shape all day. Isn't it boring you to stay with an old guy like me?"

Today's young people have long adapted to the fast pace, hustle and bustle of big cities.

So Grandpa Qin can understand Qiao Xing very well.

"No, grandpa." Qiao Xing knew that grandpa Qin had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I'm not bored. I really want to go out with you."

Grandpa Qin poured the tea slowly and said happily, "I understand what you mean, but your grandfather and I are not interested in anything now, so I just hang around at home, so that I can feel more at ease. "

The more he thought like this, the more uneasy Qiao Xing felt.

It was because she was worried that Grandpa Qin was always at home and recalled what happened with Mr. Meng that she tried every means to divert Grandpa Qin's attention.

But Grandpa Qin obviously hasn't gotten over the sorrow he created.

She thought for a while and said to Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, how about I take you fishing? I know there is a fish pond nearby, which is open to the public. Didn't you say before that you have never fished before, so Want to try it?”

"Fishing?" Grandpa Qin rubbed his chin. He really wanted to go fishing a few days ago, but after hearing that Mr. Meng had been admitted to the hospital, he couldn't get interested.

He could tell that Qiao Xing was worried about him and wanted him to go out more often.

He didn't want to let down Qiao Xing's kindness, so he agreed, "Okay, let's go fishing. Xiaoce happens to know how to make crucian carp soup. Let's catch the fish back and let him stew the soup for you, and give it to you. Make up for it." (End of chapter)
