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

Qin Ce looked into the distance and said, "Nothing."

Qiao Xing stared at him, always feeling that he was hiding something from her.

"you……"

Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, Qin Ce suddenly asked, "Has Shen Boyan contacted you recently?"

Qiao Xing was stunned, "Why are you asking about him suddenly?"

"Just asking." Qin Ce said casually, as if he was really asking casually.

If Qiao Xing didn't know him, he would really believe it.

"Qin Ce, what on earth are you hiding from me?"

"No."

"I don't believe it." Qiao Xing said directly, "You've already started asking Shen Boyan, and you still say you're hiding nothing from me?"

Qin Ce was calm and said, "I didn't hide it from you, I just thought you didn't need to know."

Sure enough, it seems that Qiao Xing was not overthinking.

She thought of what he had just said to Wang Yu and asked, "Is it related to Qin Fei? What did she do?"

"You'll know in two days."

Qiao Xing couldn't help but frown.

What the hell is Qin Ce doing?

Although she didn't understand, Qiao Xing didn't ask any further questions. He always had his own opinions, and she would not interfere with any of his decisions.

Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "But what does this have to do with Shen Boyan? Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Qin Ce sneered, "Someone wants to break up the relationship between you and me. Shen Boyan is the main character, so of course I have to ask."

He said meaningfully, "If Shen Boyan contacts you, you can go and meet him. Otherwise, they will be short of evidence and this drama won't be able to go on."

The more Qiao Xing listened, the more confused he became. "What on earth are you talking about?"

She paused, and then vaguely felt that something was wrong. She suddenly reacted and reached out to hit Qin Ce hard, "What a mess! Why would I go to see him if I have nothing to do!"

Qin Ce let her hit him, still saying, "What I said is true, I won't be angry."

"Who cares if you're angry or not! Why haven't I seen you be so generous before?"

He didn't tell her anything and just kept saying things she couldn't understand. It was really confusing.

Qin Ce took a few beatings from her, then took her in his arms.

"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Don't worry, I haven't done anything to let you down, nor have I intentionally hidden anything from you. It's just that things have been a bit messy these past few days, and I need to deal with it. When the time comes, you'll know."

Qiao Xing looked at him doubtfully, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Qiao Xing had the look on his face that Qin Ce was clearly an advisor.

Seeing that she was bringing up the old issues again, Qin Ce knew that he was in the wrong and touched his nose, "I had no choice."

"Tsk." He was quite good at making excuses for himself.

The two walked for a long time. Qin Ce was afraid that Qiao Xing was tired, so he took her to sit on a bench by the roadside.

As soon as they sat down, Qiao Xing's cell phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Ms. Qiao, it's me."

Qiao Xing felt the voice was familiar, "Are you... Sheng Yao?"

"Well, it's me, Miss Qiao. I'm sorry to bother you. I...I need your help with something."

Qiao Xing was already surprised that Sheng Yao called her, and she was even more surprised when she heard that she needed her help with something.

"You want my help? What's the matter?"

Sheng Yao bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, "I...why don't I find a place for us to meet and talk, I can't explain it clearly over the phone."

Qiao Xing said, "Okay then."

"I'll send you the address! Thank you, Miss Qiao, you're a good person!"

Qiao Xing hung up the phone and said to Qin Ce, "Sheng Yao called me and asked me for help with something."

"Sheng Yao? The daughter of the Sheng family?"

"Yeah." Qiao Xing nodded. She guessed the reason why Sheng Yao came to see her. "She likes Shen Boyan. Could it be related to Shen Boyan if she came to see me?"

Qin Ce said, "You'll know when you go there."

Qiao Xing was a little surprised when he heard this, "You don't mind?"

"Why should I mind? It's she who likes Shen Boyan, not you."

"Oh, that's right." Qiao Xing reacted and felt that his thoughts were a bit redundant.

"You can go if you want. Do you need me to take you there?"

Qiao Xing quickly said no, "Didn't you make an appointment with Tang Xi to discuss something? I can go there by myself."

"It's okay, I can just drop you off and then go, let's go."

Qin Ce drove Qiao Xing there. Sheng Yao found a coffee shop which was not far away and only took five or six minutes to drive there.

Qin Ce had just passed a traffic light and was about to pass the next intersection when a cyclist suddenly appeared.

Although Qin Ce turned the steering wheel the moment he saw the man, he was still a step too late. The man was scratched and fell to the ground.

When Qiao Xing saw that he had bumped into someone, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Qin Ce remained calm in the face of danger, stepped on the brakes steadily and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"Are you okay?" Qin Ce asked Qiao Xing the first time.

Qiao Xing shook his head and urged Qin Ce, "Get out of the car and take a look."

Qin Ce unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Qiao Xing came to his senses and followed him out.

The person who was hit was a young girl. Qiao Xing and Qin Ce came up to her. When the girl raised her head, Qiao Xing was stunned on the spot.

"Xiao Xiao?"

Xiaoxiao was also surprised when she saw Qin Ce and Qiao Xing.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Qiao, I...ah!"

She stood up in a hurry, but forgot that she had sprained her ankle. As soon as she stood up, she felt a sharp pain and her body leaned forward, about to lean on Qin Ce.

Qin Ce reacted very quickly. When Xiaoxiao was about to touch him, he moved sideways to the side, keeping some distance between himself and Xiaoxiao. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed her arm.

Xiaoxiao finally managed to stand firm and kept saying thank you to Qin Ce.

"Mr. Qin, Ms. Qiao, I'm really sorry. I didn't look at the road and caused you trouble. Don't worry, I won't blackmail you. I'll leave right away!"

As she spoke, she limped over to her bicycle and lifted it up.

Although Xiaoxiao was hit and injured, she was the one who rushed out on her own. Even if responsibility needs to be determined, Qin Ce does not need to take responsibility.

But seeing her in such a mess, Qiao Xing felt a little sorry, "Your foot is injured, how about we take you to the hospital?"

Xiao Xiao quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, I won't bother you. I just happen to be going to the hospital too, I can go there by myself. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Qiao."

"But you can't ride a bike like this?"

As soon as Qiao Xing finished speaking, Xiaoxiao, who was about to ride her bike, let out a painful sound.

She squatted down, holding her ankle, looking very painful.

Qiao Xing hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt? I told you, you can't ride a bike like this."
