Chapter 291

Xu Mingchuan did not seem to want her return gift, so Qin Wei felt that some words should be said on this occasion.

"Mr. Xu, actually..."

"Thank you for your return gift. I... also feel it's very practical. I... you're right, I should respect your work. Um... I still have to go inspect the acquisition project in Shanghai, I'll be busy these few days and then come see you after. I also have to catch a plane, time is tight so I must go first."

Xu Mingchuan put the supermarket card in his pocket, then hurriedly left.

Qin Wei didn't know if this could be considered a premonition, but she felt that he was going to use this opportunity to completely draw a line between them.

It was also her fault for being too anxious, caring led to chaos. The scene of the previous rejected proposal was still fresh in her mind. No matter what, she didn't want to be rejected again.

Xu Mingchuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions. But when he started to walk forward, his whole body froze--

A beautiful and delicate looking woman was standing at the door of her room, leaning against the door frame. One hand hugged her arm while the other held a half glass of whiskey.

When Xu Mingchuan looked at her, she also looked at Xu Mingchuan. Unhurriedly she raised her glass towards him with a faint smile.

Xu Mingchuan quickly looked back and realized that from this position you couldn't see where they were just standing. But because it wasn't far from Qin Wei's room, she would have been able to hear their conversation if she had been standing there the whole time.

This person looks so familiar...

"Miss Qiao?"

Xu Mingchuan suddenly remembered, but also afraid Qin Wei would see and misunderstand, so he only nodded in greeting before hurriedly leaving.

On this side, Qin Wei was about to go back to her room when she heard Xu Mingchuan speak, so she walked over to take a look.

Mr. Xu didn't see her, but she saw Qiao Sixiao with an expression that looked like she was enjoying the show, standing at the door of her room.

And still holding that glass of hers.

"Ridiculous."

Qin Wei sighed, walking over to push her back into the room before closing the door. Only then did she discover that this fairy had already finished the entire bottle of whiskey.

Not only that, she was preparing to open another bottle.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wei couldn't help but applaud her: "There's still less than three hours until we start working, and you're day drinking here. Teacher Qiao you're awesome, I guess the scene you're shooting today is called 'Drunken Ji Fu Beats General Jiang'."

Saying that, she sat down on the sofa watching her take out the alcohol.

Qiao Sixiao snorted lightly, grabbed a bottle of liquor and hugged it in her arms. She also took two Nolan glasses and placed them on the coffee table, filling her own glass and was about to pour the other when Qin Wei quickly covered the top with her hand.

"You can walk the Yellow Springs Road alone, I just bought a house so I won't keep you company."

Qiao Sixiao didn't insist either, putting down the bottle and picking up her glass. Her whole body curled up on the sofa, one hand propping up her head while the other swirled the whiskey in the glass. Raising her eyes to look at Qin Wei, this look could tell she was drunk. After drinking this much, Qiao Sixiao still drank more. After finishing it, she asked Qin Wei:

"Young, wealthy, profoundly affectionate, not blinking an eye when giving away a nine figure luxury home, money in his account is for you to spend as you wish, Qin Wei are you really not moved by Mr. Xu the young master? Or are you deliberately playing hard to get?"

Qin Wei was not annoyed, instead revealing a peaceful smile:

"Young, handsome, highly educated, emotionally intelligent, gentle and understands the female heart very well. No matter how cold you are to him he doesn't lose heart, turning over a new leaf and casting everything aside just to get you to look at him one more time. Su Yang's deep affection moves heaven and earth.

Qiao Sixiao, even your mother looks favorably on you two, pick an auspicious day and get married! I'll give you my house as your new home, you can redecorate it and move right in. Ah no, not giving it to you, you two can live there for a month..."

Qiao Sixiao's expression darkened again as she glared at Qin Wei. One look could tell she wanted to get angry and tell her to get out.

"Oh, you freely manipulate me, and when I say a few words to you, you get angry. Who's the little princess now?"

Qin Wei anticipated her anticipation, and took half a step back.

Qiao Sixiao anticipated her anticipation, putting down her glass and standing up while raising her hand.

Qin Wei anticipated her anticipation again, covering her wound with a pained expression:

"You pulled my injury, it hurts so much..."

"Overacting!"

Qiao Sixiao rolled her eyes at her, but let it go.

She walked around Qin Wei, stumbling to the bedside before collapsing motionless.

Qin Wei went over and patted her back, asking her softly:

"Why are you drinking so much?"

Qiao Sixiao lifted her head and tidied her hair, closing her eyes to respond just as softly:

"Every time I see He Hong that day I'll be sleepless, I want to drink some wine to help me sleep. But the mood isn't right, the more I drink the more awake I feel...so annoying...He Hong hates me, and I hate her too..."

"Why is that?"

Qin Wei asked again, but only the slow, steady sound of breathing could be heard in front of her. As she wished, the fairy had fallen asleep. After covering her with a blanket, Qin Wei took out her own phone and called Little Wang:

"It's me, Qin. Qiao Sixiao isn't feeling well right now, ask the director for leave on her behalf, she can't make it."

Little Wang: "Hm? Teacher Qin? My sister just called me and said so too! She said she was annoyed today and wanted to drink, letting me make up an excuse to ask for half a day off for her...I see, please take care of my sister then, I'll go ask for leave!"

Beep beep beep--

"Crazy people, assistants are also a little crazy."

Qin Wei complained, then tossed her phone aside and took out her own to start playing.

After playing a game for a while, she didn't forget to take screenshots and send them to Sun Tiantian--

[Qin Wei: [Picture]]

[Qin Wei: Tiantian look at the sweet flowers (/ω\)]

[Sun Tiantian: A thousand? Qin Wei you don't even cook right??]

[Qin Wei: Because they're also called Tiantian! Thinking of you I couldn't bear to use them, I want to keep collecting them, collect nine thousand! Aren't you moved?]

[Sun Tiantian: ...Moved... If you put this effort into Teacher Qiao, I'd be more moved (//?//)]

[Qin Wei: Then can I stay at your place in a few days?]

[Sun Tiantian: ?]

[Qin Wei: Shen Qingqing just told me, she said that variety show I was going to be on was postponed for now. I happen to be free so I want to stay at your place for a few days, can I can I can I?]

[Sun Tiantian: You can but I'm renting the place, just a normal apartment complex, the room isn't big... Maybe consider Teacher Qiao's place instead? If you can, bring me along too. If not, video chatting often is fine too (”ノωノ)]

[Qin Wei: Send me your address, I'll come over tomorrow!]

[Sun Tiantian: ( ?o ?).zZ]

...

A dreamless, quite restful sleep. Just that drinking too much caused a dry throat. Still feeling muddled wanting to sleep more, but the throat and stomach were very uncomfortable.

"Here, drink this."

A glass of water was handed to Qiao Sixiao. She accepted it with closed eyes, taking a sip. Her mind instantly cleared and opening her eyes she saw Qin Wei sitting on the bed, seriously looking at her phone.

"Drink it all then leave it on the nightstand, I'm passing a level, don't disturb me."

Qin Wei glanced at her briefly before lowering her head again, busy playing on her phone.

Qiao Sixiao sat up, but her headache was terrible again. Leaning against the headboard, supporting her forehead, she questioned Qin Wei:

"Why are you here?"
