    The room was silent for a moment.

    “Why?”

    It was Zhou Yuanchuan who spoke first, his tone gentle: “Don’t you want to see him?”

    Qiao Qiao tried his best to pretend as if nothing had happened: “I thought a lot last night, and I felt a little annoyed and tired. I was running around for him, but he couldn’t help me with anything, and kept holding me back… Maybe I was just complaining, but I don’t want to see him for the time being, and I don’t want to be alienated from you because of him.”

    Liang Jize shook his head: “A woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea.”

    “Everyone has emotions. I even went to places like Paradise Island for him, so I’m worthy of him. I just don’t want to see him. It’s not a heinous crime, right?”

    “Of course it doesn’t count.” Song Qiyan nodded, “Since you don’t want to see me, let’s put this matter aside for now.”

    Qiao Qiao shrugged: “Anyway, there is no shortage of food and clothing for him. It won’t matter if we don’t meet.”

    Song Qiyan looked at her deeply and said nothing else.

    Qiao Qiao was also very uneasy. She suspected that Song Qiyan had figured out what her plan was, but as long as he didn’t expose it on the spot, it meant that he acquiesced to it to a certain extent, right?

    Of course it’s nonsense that she doesn’t want to see Qin Ruicheng. The truth is that she doesn’t dare to see him now.

    If Qin Ruicheng is taken over, Song Qiyan will be completely relieved of his ‘caregiving’ responsibility. If anything happens to Qin Ruicheng, he will have nothing to do with him, and Qin Ruicheng can only be considered ‘unlucky’.But if he didn’t take over, Song Qiyan would be Qin Ruicheng’s “first guardian”. He would be solely responsible for anything that happened. In order not to take responsibility, he could only protect Qin Ruicheng’s safety.

    Qiao Qiao feels that although his trick is bad, it is currently the most effective.Moreover, since Qin Ruicheng was away, she could concentrate on repairing her relationship with Song Qiyan. Maybe as time went by, there would be another turning point.

    Alas, think on the bright side of everything.

    “Also, I want to go out for a walk today.” Qiao Qiao whispered, “I want to buy some daily necessities… Of course I don’t have to buy them. In fact, what you prepared for me is enough, but there are just a few bits and pieces missing. I’ll go back quickly and I’ll be home in about three hours. Oh, it’s okay if you don’t buy it, it won’t affect anything.”

    She suddenly remembered something and looked at Liang Jize apologetically: “I’m sorry, your card was left on Paradise Island. I left in a hurry and didn’t bring anything out.”

    Liang Jize sighed: “It’s just a card, what’s the big deal?”

    That’s a card with ‘unlimited limit’… Isn’t that important enough?

    Of course, she didn’t say it out loud. Anyway, the use of that kind of card requires authorization, and it can’t be stolen, so if it is lost, it is lost, and there is no loss.

    “Zhou Yuanchuan, do you have to go back to the research institute today?” Liang Jize said leisurely, “It’s getting late, it’s time to do your business.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan’s smile did not change; “I’m not in a hurry on this day, but you, don’t you have a schedule at noon?”

    “I’m already a semi-retired person. I don’t have any schedule.” Liang Jize said lazily, “Why don’t you give yourself a day off and spend some time with Xiao Qiao.”

    The corner of Qiao Qiao’s mouth twitched: “I, I can just go shopping by myself.”

    “You can’t go out alone.”

    “But…” Qiao Qiao thought depressedly. There were many people in the place she was going to, so how could these two people follow her?

    “What about you?” Zhou Yuanchuan looked at Song Qiyan, “Are you going?”

    “I still have something to do.” He got up and went upstairs, “You can do yourselves.”

    Qiao Qiao watched Song Qiyan’s back disappear at the end of the stairs, and his mood dropped. As expected, Song Qiyan was still…

    Now she really wanted to be hung up and beaten by Song Qiyan, even if she was locked in the room for ten days and a half, she could withstand whatever anger came out.

    He was so cold and cold that people didn’t know how to get close to him.

    “Leave?”

    “Yeah.” Qiao Qiao steeled herself and forced out a smile. The favorability of Zhou Yuanchuan and Liang Jize was also very important. She was now a guilty person and could not be ignored by either side.

    Back in the bedroom, Qiao Qiao opened the closet and carefully selected today’s clothes.

    She came back from Paradise Island with nothing, so the clothes in the wardrobe were all prepared by men. Qiao Qiao was not in the mood to look at them before. When she opened them today, she discovered that these clothes had a strong personal style. You could tell who bought them almost at a glance…

    For example, those sets of clothes that wanted to wrap her up tightly were definitely made by Song Qiyan.

    Zhou Yuanchuan respects her taste very much, and the clothes he chooses are all based on her usual dressing style. Of course, this is probably because he has a good memory and can call up the memory reference in his brain at any time, so he can choose so accurately.

    Liang Jize… well, he must have chosen these sexy, backless, waist and shoulder-wearing ones.

    Qiao Qiao looked at it and felt that it would be more comfortable to wear the style that he was accustomed to, so he took a set from the shelf.

    Hey, wait.

    Qiao Qiao began to think alertly. She was going out with Zhou Yuanchuan and Liang Jize today. If she only wore the clothes chosen by Zhou Yuanchuan, Liang Jize would definitely not be happy!If he is unhappy, he will cause trouble on the road, and she will be the unlucky one then!

    Qiao Qiao broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, thanks to her wit, she thought of this in advance and almost caused big trouble.

    No, I have to buy myself a few more sets of clothes today to avoid similar situations in the future. After all, carrying water will never be balanced!

    She decisively took the set chosen by Song Qiyan from the shelf and put it on her body in three strokes.

    That’ll be fine.

    Qiao Qiao nodded to himself in the mirror with satisfaction. Neither Zhou Yuanchuan nor Liang Jize would have any objections. Maybe it could make Song Qiyan calm down. Killing two birds with one stone, perfect.

    Thinking of this, she felt a little powerless. Just thinking about which clothes to wear was almost turning her into Sherlock Holmes. There would be many pitfalls in her life in the future. What could she do?

    It’s best not to live with them and try to move out once this thing is over.

    But – she is so poor now!

    Qiao Qiao sadly looked at her account balance on her mobile phone. She was completely broke now. She had spent almost all the money she had saved from her previous job, and she had never had any big income. The pitiful numbers in her account made her feel shabby.

    Although there is no shortage of food and clothing here, she cannot blatantly spend other people’s money. She still has to find a way to solve the financial problem on her own…

    Alas, it was too hasty to leave from Paradise Island!She dug out so much gold from decorations, but she didn’t bring out even 1g!Thinking about it makes me so angry that I want to vomit blood.

    After going downstairs, two men were already waiting.

    “Where do you want to go?” Liang Jize got into the car and put on his sunglasses. “Why don’t we book the venue? It’s quiet.”

    Qiao Qiao had been staring at his car since he went out. After enduring it again and again, he still said politely: “Do you want to drive this one? Isn’t it too eye-catching?”

    “What’s wrong with this car? Isn’t it very ordinary?”

    Qiao Qiao turned her head silently. It was fine that the car was parked in the underground garage of a large shopping mall, but her current consumption level could only go to street stalls!

    Zhou Yuanchuan was still considerate: “Just listen to Xiao Qiao. She wants to go out today, so we can just accompany her.”

    He turned to Qiao Qiao and said, “Then go to the garage and pick one.”

    “Ahem, what do you think of taking a taxi?”

    Come on, I don’t even have to look to figure out what monsters are parked in the garage, none of which are suitable for driving to the wholesale market.

    “Take a taxi…” Zhou Yuanchuan shook his head, “It’s not impossible, it’s just that it’s not very safe during special times. Or -”

    Qiao Qiao, Zhou Yuanchuan, and Liang Jize were huddled quietly in the back row.

    Fortunately, the space in the back of the off-road vehicle is large enough for one more person, but…

    Qiao Qiao lowered his head in embarrassment. What was going on with this weird atmosphere?!

    The driver was a special soldier from the Ministry of National Security, and Zhang Xiaodong was sitting in the co-pilot. The car was kindly sponsored by them, providing free pick-up and drop-off service, and it was also bulletproof.

    There were five people in the car, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

    Do you want to say something to lighten the mood?

    Qiao Qiao glanced at Zhang Xiaodong and the driver, who were staring ahead as if facing a formidable enemy, and decided not to add unnecessary burden to them for the time being.

    “Captain Zhang, don’t be nervous.” Zhou Yuanchuan said, “I’m just borrowing a car if I don’t have a suitable one. Please don’t think too much about it.”

    “Yes.” Zhang Xiaodong said meticulously, “I will escort you to your destination safely.”

    Qiao Qiao supported his forehead.

    Forget it, this is probably the style of the Ministry of National Security. Maybe Zhou Yuanchuan suddenly said that he wanted to use their car, which caused some weird misunderstanding, but at least this car does look more pleasing to the eye than Liang Jize’s sports car…

    After arriving, Zhang Xiaodong confirmed several times that it was indeed the right place before leaving angrily.

    No wonder he was confused, because this kind of messy wholesale market really didn’t look like a place where Zhou Yuanchuan and Liang Jize would come.

    Both of them were well-dressed today, one was elegant, the other was handsome, and their masks and hats couldn’t suppress their aura. Of course, Qiao Qiao didn’t intend to let them in. The wholesale market was dirty, messy, and full of chaos. It was not the same world as them.

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “Xiao Qiao, what are you going to buy here?”

    “Some daily necessities.” It’s best to buy a few more clothes. The pants here cost 20 a pair. They are cheap and durable, which is a great deal.

    “But, this place looks very…” He considered his words, “Are you really not planning to change places?”

    “Just wait for me here, I’ll go by myself.”

    Liang Jize pushed up his sunglasses: “I’ll go with you.”

    “…No need, it’s very messy in there.”

    “Don’t underestimate people.” Liang Jize smiled, “I’m not a guy like him who doesn’t know the sufferings of the world.”

    “But…”

    “Let’s go.” Liang Jize put his arm around Qiao Qiao’s shoulders and forcefully took her away from Zhou Yuanchuan, “Let him wait.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan sighed after being left behind by the two of them. Just as he was about to follow him, he caught sight of Zhang Xiaodong’s figure from the corner of his eye, with a face that looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

    That’s all.
