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

Qiao Xing saw Qin Ce coming back and said quickly: "You are back. Let me introduce you. This is my colleague at Big Bad Wolf Company, named Shen Boyan."

She said to Shen Boyan again: "This is my husband, Qin Ce."

Shen Boyan didn't know Qin Ce's identity. This was the first official meeting between the two. When he saw Qin Ce standing at the door of the ward, if he hadn't happened to see Qiao Xing, Shen Boyan wouldn't have recognized him. He was Qiao Xing. husband.

As soon as Qiao Xing introduced him, Shen Boyan stood up and stretched out his hand towards Qin Ce, "Hello, Mr. Qin."

Qin Ce's eyes stayed on the apple in Shen Boyan's other hand for a moment, then he glanced at him and stretched out his hand in response.

After the two said hello, the atmosphere became strangely quiet.

Qiao Xing looked at the two of them and didn't notice anything was wrong. She asked Shen Boyan, "Is Tao Yang okay? Is it serious? Do you want me to go over and check on him?"

Shen Boyan said: "No need, you take good care of yourself."

"What about the company? Do you need my help?"

"No." Shen Boyan said, "The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself and the child in your belly."

Qin Ce frowned unconsciously.

After all, he is standing here, and this "colleague" is caring about his wife in front of him. Isn't it a bit too far?

Shen Boyan looked down at the time and said, "I'm going back first, and I'll come see you when you get better."

Qiao Xing smiled, "Okay."

It wasn't a big deal at first, but I was a little embarrassed to be told by Shen Boyan.

Shen Boyan stood up and left the ward.

After he left, Qin Ce pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the hospital bed.

"This colleague of yours cares about you very much."

"Ok?"

Qiao Xing was confused when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Shen Boyan.

"You mean Shen Boyan? He is indeed very good. He has always taken care of everyone in the company. He has to be busy with various projects and take care of the company's big and small things. It's quite hard."

Qiao Xing's words were sincere. In her heart, Shen Boyan was really powerful. Most boys of his age were impetuous and arrogant, and few would calm down and start a business seriously.

What's more, the game company itself is very boring, but he spent a lot of time on it. Even if there was no reward, he never thought of giving up.

It is this tenacity that Qiao Xing admires.

"Really?" Qin Ce lowered his head, peeling the apple in his hand, and asked her in a calm voice, "Have you made any money?"

"I've earned it, but not much. He took out a loan when he opened a company and hasn't paid it back yet. In fact, if you know him well, you'll know that it's really not easy for him."

Qin Ce said "hmm".

Qiao Xing was busy talking and didn't notice at all that Qin Ce calmly threw the apple Shen Boyan had peeled just now into the trash can.

Qiao Xing then remembered to eat the apple she had just peeled, but when she turned her eyes, she didn't know where the apple originally placed on the cabinet had gone.

Qin Ce handed the re-cut piece to her, "Eat it, I will take you out for a walk later."

It had been cloudy for several days, and finally the sun came out in the afternoon. The sky was blue, and the sun shone on my body making me feel warm.

Qiao Xing held Qin Ce's arm and walked slowly down the corridor of the small garden downstairs.

On the lawn, there were several children playing in hospital clothes. They obviously looked cute and lively, but everyone was wearing hospital clothes, and they were tortured by illnesses at a young age.

Qiao Xing lowered his head and glanced at the child in his belly.

She hopes that her child will be born healthy, even if he is not smart enough, not cute enough, even if his character is not that perfect, as long as he grows up safely.

"How is Qiao Hong's matter?" Qiao Xing asked Qin Ce as the two sat down on a chair.

Qin Ce said: "The police are going through the process, and they will do whatever they want."

"Yes." Qiao Xing leaned her head on Qin Ce's shoulder, squinting her eyes to feel the warmth of the sun. After a moment, she said, "Qin Ce, thank you."

Qin Ce looked down at her and said, "Thank me for what?"

Qiao Xing didn't know either, but she just wanted to say this.

Maybe she wanted to thank him for being willing to accompany her to deal with her messy things.

I also want to thank him for never minding her unspeakable family relationships and always thinking about her from her perspective. In comparison, there are very few things Qiao Xing can do for Qin Ce.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Qiao Xing suddenly asked Qin Ce, "Have you ever thought about whether your life would be completely different if you had disobeyed grandpa and married someone else?"

Qin Ce said: "No."

He answered quickly without any hesitation.

Even Qiao Xing was a little surprised.

She suddenly became more curious, "Then you have never thought about what would happen if the person you married was not me, but someone else?"

Her question is very similar to what some girlfriends ask their girlfriends from time to time, do you love me, or will you stay with me forever?

Qin Ce looked down at her, but instead of answering her words, he asked her, "What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you married someone other than me?"

Qiao Xing thought about this question seriously.

She really hadn't thought about it.

Before she met Qin Ce, she had also looked forward to her future and worked hard to manage her relationship, life, and work.

But since marrying Qin Ce, many things that she thought were problems and setbacks in the past have been solved or accepted naturally.

Qiao Xing thought that maybe this was because the person next to her was Qin Ce.

If it were anyone else in this world, their relationship would not be as comfortable as the one between her and Qin Ce.

The more Qiao Xing thought about it, the warmer she felt in her heart. She was very lucky that the person beside her was Qin Ce.

"Don't fall asleep. It's cold outside. I'll take you in." Qiao Xing leaned against Qin Ce and felt sleepy unknowingly. Qin Ce reminded her aloud.

Qiao Xing blinked, "I'm not sleepy. Let's sit for a while. The sun is so beautiful. The doctor said that more sun exposure is good for the fetus."

She quite likes this pleasant feeling. It is very relaxing. The warm sunshine can make her forget a lot of worries. It also allows her to put everything behind and enjoy the moment.

Qin Ce stretched out his hand, gently touched her earlobe, and looked at the children playing in the distance, "Okay, sit down for a while."

But this quiet beauty was soon broken.

Qiao Xing's cell phone suddenly rang.

She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Wang Ye's number.

"Hello, cousin."
