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

Qiao Xing thought of what Xing Jiu said and didn't want to answer the call.

She wasn't minding Qin Ce's scandal, but she was angry that he didn't tell her about it.

He felt that she would think too much about this matter, which meant that he did not believe her at all.

Qiao Xing didn't answer, and his cell phone kept ringing.

Grandpa Qin turned around and asked her curiously, "Xingxing, why don't you answer the phone?"

Now Qiao Xing couldn't help but pick up the phone. She heard Qin Ce's voice as soon as she connected.

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Qiao Xing said, "Having breakfast."

"Eat breakfast at this time. Did you sleep very late yesterday?"

Qiao Xing knew that he couldn't hide it from Qin Ce, so he said truthfully, "It's a little late to handle the company's affairs. I'm too tired."

Qiao Xing thought Qin Ce would not allow her to go to the company as before, or would say a few words to her.

But unexpectedly, Qin Ce not only said nothing, but asked her, "Is the game progressing smoothly? Have you encountered any bottlenecks?"

Seeing that he was so talkative, Qiao Xing guessed that he must have felt guilty because of that incident.

Qiao Xing asked him deliberately, "Why don't you object to my work?"

Qin Ce said, "I didn't object to it at all."

Well, that seems to be the case.

Qiao Xing asked directly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

When Qin Ce heard this, he was startled and raised his eyes to look at Han Yan, who was holding the phone for him.

The phone was on speakerphone, and Han Yan could hear Qiao Xing's voice.

Han Yan's eyes met Qin Ce's and he immediately shook his head silently.

Qin Ce breathed a sigh of relief and quickly understood what she was talking about.

He asked, "You know everything?"

Qiao Xing asked, "If I don't know, how long do you plan to hide it from me?"

Qin Ce said truthfully, "I didn't want to hide it from you. I thought I would tell you when the matter is over."

After Xing Jiu talked to her that day, Qiao Xing went to check it out online.

In fact, it's not a big deal. With Qin Ce's identity, it's not surprising that such a scandal would arise.

If there were no scandals, Qiao Xing would feel abnormal.

Qiao Xing is not a petty person, and she is also willing to believe that Qin Ce is not someone who always gives up.

Not to mention Miss Tan, even if she is a princess from a neighboring country, Qin Ce just doesn't like her if he doesn't like her.

It's not that she has confidence in herself, but she understands Qin Ce well enough that even without her, Qin Ce would not look down on such a person.

But then again, it's one thing that she wants to believe Qin Ce, it's another thing that he didn't tell her right away.

Qiao Xing said, "Is this really the case?"

Qin Ce said, "That's not entirely true. The main reason is that I'm afraid you'll be jealous."

Qiao Xing smiled shyly, then quickly stopped smiling, "What does this have to do with whether I am jealous or not?"

"If you're jealous, you're in a mood. I'm in the capital and can't go over to coax you, so I don't dare to let you know."

Han Yan listened on the sidelines and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Even though this was the case, he was still in the mood to flirt.

Qiao Xing snorted, feeling much better, "Glib tongue!"

Qin Ce couldn't help but cough a few times.

Qiao Xing sensed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it should be because I didn't get a good rest last night." Qin Ce held on, trying not to let Qiao Xing notice.

Qiao Xing frowned, "Aren't the matters over there finished yet?"

"The workload of the project is too large. Han Yan can't handle it alone. It may take about a week."

Another week.

Last time Qin Ce said he should be back in three days.

Unexpectedly, it was delayed again.

Qiao Xing thought to himself, it seems that this project is indeed quite difficult.

Qiao Xing said, "Well, please be careful and don't let yourself get sick from exhaustion. Take more rest when you are tired. It won't be bad if the project is delayed for a while."

"Okay, I will follow my wife's instructions."

"Stop being poor!"

Qiao Xing quickly hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Qin Ce coughed violently, his lips turned white, and he felt seriously exhausted.

Han Yan quickly poured him a glass of water and asked him to calm down. At the same time, he couldn't help but said, "You called Qiao Xing as soon as you woke up. You don't know what's going on with your body. You're obviously too weak to speak. If you have to hold on, you really don’t take your own life seriously.”

Qin Ce waited for a moment before gaining some strength.

Although he has a good physique, the injury was so severe that his body could not let him make the decision at all.

"If you don't call her, she'll get suspicious."

"Just get up. This is not a shameful thing. It's not a big deal if you keep hiding it like this."

Han Yan understood that he didn't want Qiao Xing to worry.

But he was like this himself, and Qiao Xing would have to know sooner or later. If at that time, he asked him why he didn't tell him, Han Yan would like to know how he would explain it to Qiao Xing.

Qin Ce glanced at him and said nothing, but closed his eyes to rest.

There is no way to communicate with someone who has never been married or has a girlfriend.

After Qiao Xing had breakfast, he went to Big Bad Wolf Company.

But she did not go directly to the company, but stood at the intersection yesterday, waiting for Tian Guo and Sun Miao.

After waiting for a few minutes, Sun Miao came first, and after a while, Tian Guo also came.

Tian Guo was carrying a backpack today, holding the straps of the backpack tightly with both hands, looking very nervous.

Qiao Xing asked her, "Have you thought about it?"

Tian Guo nodded, "Yeah."

If she had had a better choice, she would not have stayed in that studio. She didn't like the people there at all.

Now this better choice was right in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it.

She wants to give her mother a better life, and also wants to meet more people and learn more things.

Sun Miao encouraged her, "Just follow what I taught you yesterday and tell your boss. Remember, if he dares to threaten you, you should call the police!"

Tian Guo nodded, "I...I understand."

"Go ahead, we'll be waiting for you at the company!"

Tian Guo walked into the studio with three turns.

The moment she stepped into the studio, she seemed to have gained great courage and was not afraid of anything.

You have to fight for your own life. Just being afraid is useless!

Qiao Xing and Sun Miao returned to the company and told Shen Boyan and Tao Yang about Tian Guo.

After hearing this, Shen Boyan didn't say anything.

He doesn't know Tian Guo well, but judging from yesterday's drawings, he quite recognizes Tian Guo's abilities.

And if the company's later focus is entirely on this otome game, it really needs a professional painter, otherwise Sun Miao alone won't be able to do it.

Moreover, this matter was decided by Qiao Xing, so he felt relieved.

Tao Yang always felt a little unreliable, not because he thought Qiao Xing was unreliable, but because Tian Guo was unreliable.

"Is this person trustworthy? Don't tell the boss as soon as you get back that we are going to poach her. We haven't figured out the plagiarism by then, so she will be accused of poaching for no reason."

Sun Miao said immediately, "Of course she is reliable. She is not a fool. Even if she works for a long time, it will be in vain if she can't give any benefits."
