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

Qin Ce replaced his answer with silence.

Seeing this, Qiao Xing felt a little dumbfounded, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

If Qin Ce had known about it for a long time, then after he met Shen Boyan, looking back on his various attitudes towards Shen Boyan, it seemed that it could be explained.

Qin Ce said, "What should I tell you? That Shen Boyan likes you and wants you to leave his company? Do you think you will agree?"

"That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is that if you knew about this a long time ago, then you should tell me. I always thought you didn't know, so I didn't care."

We are all adults and people who have experienced emotions, how could we not notice it at all.

The reason why Qiao Xing didn't say anything was not that she really didn't know, but she just didn't want to affect the relationship between her and Shen Boyan because of this incident.

After all, some of the words were so clear that we might not even be friends in the end, and she was also afraid that she was too narcissistic and it was just her own imagination.

Qin Ce sneered coldly, "His thoughts about you are written on his face. Do you think I won't know?"

He said, changing the subject, "What do you mean by that, you always knew he liked you?"

Qiao Xing stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I didn't know that before, but then I gradually got this intuition. What if someone doesn't have that kind of intention? Should I go and ask them? How narcissistic I am!"

If these words had been said in the past, Qiao Xing would have been able to deceive him, but now, even Qin Ce has seen it, and it is most likely true.

However, compared to the disbelief when he first learned about this matter, Qiao Xing is now able to face it calmly.

"But this kind of thing itself is quite embarrassing. On the surface, we have always maintained a relationship as friends. Could it be that if I think he likes me, I have to break off the relationship with him? How embarrassing would that be?"

So in this matter, even though Qiao Xing already knew, she was pretending to be confused a lot of the time.

She always thought that Shen Boyan might not have such deep feelings for her, or he simply felt that she was more suitable as a partner. Maybe in the future, when he saw someone similar to her, he would not treat her again. Got that idea.

But she didn't expect that Qin Ce knew about it from the beginning.

She suddenly thought that when they were in the company, Tao Yang and the others always liked to make jokes between her and Shen Boyan.

She had always thought that she was the only one who knew about this matter, but now it seemed that everyone seemed to have noticed a little clue, but everyone tacitly kept it to themselves.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have told you everything. Now it's like I'm hiding something from you. I can't even explain things that didn't exist in the first place."

Having said that, Qiao Xing simply explained it to Qin Ce at once to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

"However, I want to make it clear that I didn't tell you about this matter because I didn't know that you had noticed it a long time ago, so I just pretended that nothing happened. I didn't deliberately hide it, nor did I deliberately let you know. Jealous."

Qin Ce never doubted Qiao Xing from the beginning to the end. If he really felt that there was something between her and Shen Boyan, he would never let her go to the Big Bad Wolf Company under any circumstances.

What's more, Qiao Xing himself knew very clearly that he didn't need to worry about this matter at all.

So when Qiao Xing said jealous, Qin Ce said, "Why should I be jealous? You already have my child, do you think he still has a chance?"

Qiao Xing recalled his previous attitudes towards Shen Boyan, and she didn't believe it if he said he wasn't jealous.

"You're not jealous, so why are you tit for tat every time you see him?"

Qin Ce said, "That's because he is petty."

"Oh, it turns out you're not jealous. It seems I'm overthinking it. I thought I didn't keep a good distance between him and me, which made you misunderstand."

Qin Ce caught her snickering expression and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I just feel that he and I don't need to deliberately keep a distance, lest others think I hate him."

As soon as Qiao Xing finished speaking, there was suddenly a force on her waist, and Qin Ce pulled her in front of him.

Qiao Xing exclaimed, "Be careful if you touch your belly!"

The distance between the two was very close, and Qin Ce's breath spread evenly on Qiao Xing's face.

"Repeat what you just said."

Qiao Xing deliberately pretended to be stupid, "What did I just say?"

"Qiao Xing." Qin Ce's voice was deep.

Qiao Xing said quickly, "You said you weren't jealous!"

"I'm not jealous, so you can say that?"

Qiao Xing smiled, "I just want to see you tell the truth. You always mean what you say and never express your true thoughts."

Qin Ce snorted, "Who do you think I'm talking about for? If I really cared, his company would have ceased to exist long ago."

Qiao Xing's eyes widened suddenly. She was a little suspicious. Qin Ce had always wanted to do this.

Qin Ce saw through her thoughts, "Why, are you afraid that I will actually keep my word?"

"No, I just don't think it's necessary."

She believed that Qin Ce could do what he said, but after all, the company did not belong to Shen Boyan alone. She also put in her energy and efforts, including other people in the company, and witnessed the company's growth step by step.

It would be really unfair if other people, including the company, were to be affected just because of Shen Boyan's incident.

But Qiao Xing knew that Qin Ce was not that kind of person.

He couldn't do that either.

Qin Ce suddenly pinched Qiao Xing's waist with considerable force.

Qiao Xing frowned in pain, "What are you doing?"

"punish you."

Qiao Xing was a little innocent, "I didn't do anything."

Qin Ce sneered, "You can make me angry even if you haven't done anything. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're pregnant?"

Qiao Xing could not deny that she had indeed thought so.

But she didn't dare to say this, so she could only whisper, "There's nothing you can do."

Qin Ce squinted his eyes, tried to adjust his breathing, and finally pulled the quilt over Qiao Xing.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Sleep!"

The next morning, Qiao Xing woke up early.

When she was working, she always felt that she didn't have enough sleep when she woke up every morning. Now that she could sleep, she felt sleepy.

Two days before they came to the capital, it rained for several days, resulting in no good weather for the past few days.

It was rare that the weather outside was sunny this year. Qiao Xing opened the window and felt the fresh air outside.

Although the capital is prosperous, in the final analysis it is still not as good as Chongqing.

Living here always gives people an inexplicable feeling of depression, which is nothing compared to the ease and comfort of Chongqing City.

At this moment, Qiao Xing suddenly heard voices in the corridor outside.

Qiao Xing walked out curiously and saw Wang Yu standing with a servant.
