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

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, and Sheng Yao and Shen Boyan stood together.

Sheng Yao didn't know what she was talking about, her face was full of joy, while Shen Boyan was as calm as ever.

Qiao Xing looked at the two of them. They clearly looked like an inharmonious couple, but somehow they seemed to be a good match.

Sheng Yao is beautiful and Shen Boyan has a good temperament. If these two people were really together, their daily life would definitely be very interesting.

"Qiao Xing, you're done with the phone call!" Sheng Yao saw Qiao Xing coming back and asked, "You haven't told us yet, what was the solution just now?"

This matter was considered the Qin family's family affair, and Qiao Xing didn't know how to tell Sheng Yao for a moment.

Shen Boyan glanced at Qiao Xing, probably seeing her embarrassment, and said to Sheng Yao, "Don't ask, he will definitely pay the price, don't worry."

Sheng Yao was also sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

"So where are we going to play next?"

Sheng Yao originally thought that she could just hang out with Qiao Xing, but she didn't expect to meet Shen Boyan, so she didn't want to let go of this opportunity easily.

Just as Shen Boyan was about to say that he had something else to do and was about to leave, he was interrupted by Qiao Xing.

"My husband will pick me up in a while. I have to go back home. You two can go and have fun. I won't disturb you any more."

As Qiao Xing spoke, he gave Sheng Yao a look, suggesting that she seize the opportunity between her and Shen Boyan.

Sheng Yao understood what Qiao Xing meant. She pursed her lips shyly and glanced at Shen Boyan secretly.

But Shen Boyan's eyes were on Qiao Xing.

Even though Qiao Xing had already turned and left.

Just as Qiao Xing was about to get off the elevator, he saw Qin Ce standing on it. The distance between them gradually shortened as the elevator moved.

"How come you got here so quickly?" Qiao Xing was surprised.

Qin Ce said, "It happens to be nearby, not far away."

Qin Ce glanced behind her, "Why is he here?"

Qiao Xing said, "We met by chance."

Qin Ce sneered, "What a coincidence?"

"What?" Qiao Xing looked at him puzzledly.

"Nothing, let's go."

Sheng Yao and Shen Boyan stood there, watching Qin Ce appear, then watching him holding Qiao Xing's hand and disappearing from their sight.

Shen Boyan's eyes were fixed on that direction.

"Since you don't want her to leave, why don't you take the initiative and stay?" Sheng Yao said in a low voice.

Shen Boyan's expression finally relaxed. He frowned and turned his head, "What did you say?"

Sheng Yao thought Shen Boyan didn't hear it, "Nothing, I was just talking nonsense."

But the next second, Shen Boyan said, "Do you want me to keep her so much?"

Sheng Yao opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was true, but she was afraid that Shen Boyan would get angry if she said that.

"If you don't want to, why are you so reluctant..."

Shen Boyan stared at her for a few seconds and said, "You're right, I really can't bear to let her go. Then I'll go find her."

Sheng Yao's eyes suddenly widened, "No, wait a minute!"

She grabbed Shen Boyan and said, "Are you really going?"

"Didn't you say that?"

"I was just talking nonsense. How can you take it seriously? You are so active in this matter, and you still say that you..."

"Still talking?"

Sheng Yao quickly shut up and said, "No more."

Shen Boyan let go of his arm and said, "Let's go."

Sheng Yao asked, "Go? Where to?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go play?"

When Qiao Xing and Qin Ce arrived at the hospital, they originally wanted to go directly to Grandpa Qin's ward.

But on the way, he met Xiaoxiao who was limping.

Her foot was probably seriously injured and it was difficult for her to walk.

Seeing Qiao Xing and Qin Ce, Xiao Xiao greeted them humbly as before, "Hello, Miss Qiao, Hello, Mr. Qin."

Qiao Xing looked at her feet and asked, "Is your foot seriously injured? I think it's not convenient for you to do this. How about you..."

Qiao Xing wanted to let her go back and rest for two days, but she didn't want Xiaoxiao to misunderstand her meaning.

Before Qiao Xing finished speaking, she said anxiously, "Miss Qiao, my foot is fine. I saw a doctor and he said it was just twisted and will be fine soon. I won't delay my work. Please don't chase me away!"

Her eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "I finally found such a job, and I'm very lucky to meet such good people like you and Grandpa Qin. I really cherish this job. If you think I'm not doing well, I can change it, but please don't fire me, okay?"

Qiao Xing said helplessly, "I didn't tell you to stop doing it. I just think it's inconvenient for you to do this. Although the sprain is not serious, it can't withstand your tossing and turning. Go back and rest. It will be the same if you come back after you recover."

Xiao Xiao shook her head frantically, "No, no, no, I'm lucky to be able to take care of Grandpa Qin. The salary you give me is higher than that of other family members. If I still take a break like this, I will really feel bad."

Qiao Xing thought, why is this girl so stubborn? Why doesn’t she cherish the opportunity to rest?

It seems that I have not had much contact with society, nor have I experienced the ups and downs of work.

"But your foot..." Qiao Xing was still worried.

Xiaoxiao immediately said, "My foot is fine. It won't affect my normal work. Please rest assured!"

She quickly calmed down and said to the two of them, "Ms. Qiao, Mr. Qin, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to get busy first."

After she left, Qiao Xing couldn't help but sigh, "This Xiaoxiao looks young, but it's not easy for her either."

Seeing her stubbornness, Qiao Xing inexplicably thought of himself in the past.

When I was young and energetic, I always felt that as long as I could endure, I would be able to succeed in many things.

But now thinking about it, I was really naive at that time.

"Before, my grandfather said she looked like me, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see her, I feel like she does look a little like me."

Qin Ce looked at her talking to herself, and finally he spoke, having been silent all the time.

"How are they similar? Are they similar in that they make things difficult for themselves for no reason?"

"What do you mean?"

"I could have taken a break, but I insisted on proving to you that I was working hard. This kind of futile proof, isn't it just making things difficult for myself?"

Qiao Xing looked at Qin Ce with a strange look in his eyes, "Why do you always look at things from such a tricky angle?"

"I am telling the truth."

Qiao Xing was speechless, "You win."

The two came to Grandpa Qin's ward. Just as they were about to go in, they heard the voice of Grandpa Qin talking to someone else in the ward.

"You are not young anymore. After all, you are the elder. Do you really want to argue with these young people for the rest of your life?"

"He is the one who refuses to acknowledge me as his father. Do you really want me, as a father, to bow down to him, as his son?"
