Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Qiao Xixi's eyes.
At this kind of upper-class banquet, the female companion has a very ambiguous status.
She didn't want to participate because she was worried that Sheng Tianjue would be criticized because of her, but he had already said it, and she was too embarrassed to refuse...
After struggling for a moment, Qiao Xixi had to say, "Okay, but I can't stay too long."
"That's great if you agree. I'm just going to show my face and then leave. It won't take up too much of your time." Seeing that she agreed, Sheng Tianjue's eyebrows relaxed and he smiled happily.
After that, Qiao Xixi asked some questions about Tuanzi's condition and confirmed that he was in good health, and then his anxious heart relaxed.
She didn't stay in the hospital for long, she left quickly and rushed back to Qin's house.
Return to Qin's house.
Qiao Xixi went to Ruirui's room first and saw that she was still sleeping, so she didn't disturb her anymore.
It seems that as Qin Yihan said, Ruirui was worried about her all night and is still sleeping now.
"Mom...are you back?"
Just as Qiao Xixi was about to close the door, she suddenly heard Ruirui's soft and waxy voice.
Her heart softened, and she quickly walked quietly inside, came to her bed and knelt down, gently touched her head, and said softly, "Well, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's good that you come back. Dad was waiting for you all night yesterday."
Ruirui turned over, hugged her arms with both hands, yawned slightly, and said in a grown-up tone, "You can't disappear suddenly in the future, otherwise my father and I will be very worried."
"I understand. You can sleep a little longer. I'll make some biscuits for you. I'll call you when I'm done." Qiao Xixi tucked the quilt for her, lowered her head and kissed her little face, and left slowly.
room.
Thinking of Ruirui's words just now, Qiao Xixi felt a little mixed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yihan also waited for her all night.
He is usually cold and cold, but actually he still has some human touch.
Come to the kitchen.
Qiao Xixi started to get busy. She started kneading dough, whisking eggs and cream, and prepared to make more snacks for Qin Yihan to taste as compensation.
After working all afternoon, Qiao Xixi put the snacks in the oven and started working on making dinner again.
Fortunately, there is a maid to help her, otherwise she would be too busy!
Ruirui also woke up. Wearing a pink nightgown, she came to the kitchen bounding up. Seeing Qiao Xixi taking out a plate of cookies from the oven, she said in surprise, "Mom, you are so awesome, you can do everything!"
Qiao Xixi turned around and saw that she was only wearing pajamas. She quickly put the cookies on the stove and asked the maid to help put them into the box. Then she wiped her hands on her apron and walked towards her.
"Ruirui, why did you run down here without a coat? You'll catch a cold. I'll take you up to change clothes." After saying that, Qiao Xixi was about to untie her apron and take her upstairs.
"No need, I'll let Grandpa Du take me up!" Ruirui was afraid that it would affect her work, so she ran to Uncle Du obediently and said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, Uncle Du, please excuse me." Qiao Xixi said to Uncle Du.
"Miss Qiao, this is what I should do." Uncle Du held Rui Rui's hand, nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Qiao Xixi watched them go upstairs, then turned around and continued cooking.
After dinner was ready, Qin Yihan also came back from get off work.
Seeing him walking in, Qiao Xixi came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and said casually, "Mr. Qin, dinner is ready. You can eat it after washing your hands."
Qin Yihan took off his coat and handed it to the maid aside. His eyes darkened a little and he said in a cold tone, "I won't eat it."
"ah?"
Qiao Xixi was stunned for a moment and looked up in surprise.
Qin Yihan glanced at her gloomily, went upstairs with a stern face, and went directly back to the study.
Ruirui took the chopsticks and asked, feeling a little weird, "Mom, what's going on with dad? Did you quarrel with him?"
"I don't know..." Qiao Xixi put the soup on the table and took off her apron, also looking confused.
"Then you go up and coax him later." Ruirui walked to her side, suddenly thought of something, and said quickly, "Dad must be sulking because you didn't come back last night! He was worried about you last night!
"
Is that so?
Qiao Xixi thought for a while, carried Ruirui to the chair, picked up her small bowl and scooped out the rice, and said softly, "I'll feed you and finish your meal first, and I'll go up and see Mr. Qin later."
"No need, I can eat it myself!" Ruirui picked up her own spoon, glanced upstairs a few times, and said, "You'd better go and coax daddy first!"
"Okay then." Qiao Xixi smiled helplessly, handed Ruirui to Uncle Du, went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, took some snacks made by herself, and took them to the study.
When she arrived at the door of the study, she asked the maid who was cleaning the corridor to knock on the door for her.
"Mr. Qin, I made you a cup of coffee." Qiao Xixi said to the door.
After a moment of silence, a deep voice came from the study, "Come in."
The maid opened the door for Qiao Xixi and walked in with coffee and snacks.
When she raised her head, she saw Qin Yihan sitting at the desk, with a gloomy face and a pair of narrow eyes staring at her closely.
"Mr. Qin, I saw that you didn't eat at night. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought you some snacks." Qiao Xixi put the snacks and coffee on his table and added, "I made these myself.
"
Qin Yihan glanced at the bear biscuits on the plate expressionlessly, his eyes darkened a bit, and he opened his lips coldly and said, "Is this how you please me?"
"Huh?" Joshi was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on between you and Qin Xingchen?" Qin Yihan asked directly with a calm face.
"There's nothing going on between me and him..." Qiao Xixi couldn't help but wonder.
She and Qin Xingchen had only met a few times, and they couldn't be said to be very familiar with each other. What could be going on?
Could it be that Qin Yihan misunderstood them?
But wasn’t it explained this morning?
He doesn't believe it?
Thinking of this, Qiao Xixi said quickly, "Mr. Qin, I know it was wrong for me to disappear suddenly last night, but it was an accident! I fainted and really don't know anything, but I promise I will never do it again in the future!"
Accident?
What kind of coincidence could cause her to faint on the street and be discovered by Qin Xingchen?
Qin Yihan immediately snorted coldly, his voice mixed with a bit of displeasure, and said coldly, "Xingchen likes you very much and said that she wants to marry you as her wife. Qiao Xixi, I didn't realize that you are so charming. Why do you treat me like this?
My brother is fascinated."
Qiao Xixi was ashamed.
She coughed awkwardly and whispered, "Third Young Master may have some misunderstandings about me..."
"I don't know if you have misunderstood..." Qin Yihan's face darkened a bit, he looked at her with a sinister look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Since you are Ruirui's nanny now, just do your job well and don't get in my way.
Be careful down there! If I find out that you have ulterior motives, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Yes, Mr. Qin." Qiao Xixi knew that Qin Yihan was angry and did not dare to disobey, so she could only nod and follow his wishes.
"What did he do for you when you were at his place?" Qin Yi asked again coldly.
"Third Young Master... he invited a doctor for me, fed me medicine... and made me soup..." Qiao Xixi felt more and more guilty as she spoke. She bit her lower lip and did not dare to say anything more.
