Chapter 107 - ~Legal Marriage~
Tonight, Xiao Long seemed to be reading a business magazine. But the corner of his eyes caught Qiao Xin, who just came home perfectly. The woman\'s eyes were puffy, and her lips were pale. There was no happiness on her face, she looked so depressed and withered, but that wasn\'t the only thing that caught Xiao Long\'s attention. But because of the jacket, Qiao Xin was wearing, he knew very well who it belonged to, which made Xiao Long even more annoyed. Yes, the jacket that Qiao Xin was wearing was Xuan Cheng. How could Qiao Xin wear Xuan Cheng\'s jacket, a little thing that made Qiao Xin even more annoyed?
Xiao Long seemed to get up from his seat, closed the magazine in his hand tightly, then slammed the magazine on the table. Qiao Xin, who saw that almost jumped. She saw Xiao Long slam the door of his workspace until it was closed entirely.
Qiao Xin doesn\'t know what happened to Xiao Long, why Xiao Long got so angry. Was it because of his refusal at the company? Or was it because the jacket he was wearing was Xuan Cheng?
Qiao Xin was reluctant to wear this jacket, and it was just that coincidentally her clothes were wet and dirty because some employees had started acting out of line. Because Qiao Xin didn\'t have a change of clothes, she was forced to wear Xuan Cheng\'s jacket. Moreover, Xuan Cheng didn\'t directly give her the jacket. Instead, the skin was provided by Li Xuan. So Qiao Xin barely even spoke to Xuan Cheng at all. Even though Xuan Cheng tried to get Qiao Xin to talk, Qiao Xin always kept her mouth shut and avoided it. So is it true that Xiao Long is angry about that? Or was it the chip in his brain that made Xiao Long like that? Qiao Xin didn\'t know at all.
Qiao Xin then took a deep breath, and then she turned her face away. It seemed that soaking in the warm water would be enough to calm her down before she fell now. Qiao Xin\'s head ached so badly, and even her body felt warm now. Qiao Xin never thought that gossiping about her would result in this, which made Qiao Xin believe that if she was fed up, she was tired and wanted to quit her job. However, if she leaves, where does she get the money from? She couldn\'t live without working and earning money for nothing from the Han family, which was something that was entirely beyond Qiao Xin\'s heart.
Qiao Xin started to take off her clothes, turned on the hot water faucet in the bathub then immediately went into the bathtub. Her face was flushed. It seemed that Qiao Xin\'s body temperature was boiling right now. Even now, her head was feeling dizzy. Finally, the sweat started pouring out of her body, and Qiao Xin lost consciousness altogether.
Meanwhile, Xiao Long seemed to feel thirsty. He swallowed hard and then frowned. How could he not? He didn\'t even drink at all because, after work, he kept thinking about Qiao Xin, for then he decided to go out, glanced at the bathroom which didn\'t seem to be tightly closed, but he could see Qiao Xin\'s clothes splattered on the bathroom floor.
Xiao Long seemed to snort, and he was trying not to bother. Ignoring Qiao Xin\'s whereabouts, he then went out into the kitchen to check if there were any snacks or not. However, when Xiao Long, who was barely thirty minutes away, came out of the room and had a chance to talk to his parents when he entered the room, he seemed to be frowning. How could I not? Even Qiao Xin still hadn\'t come out of the bathroom. But from what Xiao Long knew, Qiao Xin was bathing like a duck, and she washed so fast that it even beat the sleep of a duck. Xiao Long looked at the bathroom door then cleared his throat.
"What are you doing in the bathroom? are you sleeping?" Xiao Long said then, Xiao Long was about to step back into his workplace, but his steps were completely stopped when Xiao Long felt something strange. Yes, it was weird when Xiao Long felt that perhaps Qiao Xin was in a state of disrepair. Even the bathroom had no sound of splashing water at all, and the bathroom was tranquil.
With a thousand steps, Xiao Long immediately rushed into the bathroom. How shocked Xiao Long was when he found Qiao Xin was unconscious. Even now, she almost wholly submerged her face in bathwater.
Being too panicked, Xiao Long didn\'t think twice. He immediately went into the bath and then lifted Qiao Xin\'s unconscious body in a naked state. Xiao Long\'s eyes tried not to look, but his hands held Qiao Xin\'s naked body. After he laid Qiao Xin on the bed, Xiao Long immediately stabilized the room temperature. Qiao Xin\'s body felt so hot and weak that it made Xiao Long even more panicked.
Xiao Long rushed to open the cupboard in his room, and then he stopped his steps. Yes, Xiao Long forgot, if Qiao Xin\'s clothes are not in the wardrobe. Xiao Long tells Qiao Xin to keep her clothes in the backpack, making Xiao Long feel guilty. Then Xiao Long opened Qiao Xin\'s backpack. He immediately took out all of Qiao Xin\'s clothes, reopened her wardrobe, and set aside a place for Xiao Long to put on Qiao Xin\'s clothes. After that, Xiao Long took a pair of pajamas and put them on with Qiao Xin with her eyes closed. After who did everything, Xiao Long seemed speechless, and it seemed that something was missing here. When Xiao Long realized what was missing was Qiao Xin\'s underwear, why did Xiao Long forget to put Qiao Xin\'s underwear on? After a while, Xiao Long was about to reopen Qiao Xin\'s clothes, but Xiao Long suddenly stopped in his tracks.
No, that\'s not possible. How could Xiao Long have to do this? If Qiao Xin came to her senses, Qiao Xin would think Xiao Long wanted to pervert her.
Xiao Long then shook his head, and he immediately pulled Qiao Xin\'s blanket, so it covered Qiao Xin\'s body perfectly. After that, Xiao Long rushed out, took a compress and water for Qiao Xin, after which he sat beside Qiao Xin and took care of Qiao Xin lovingly. Xiao Long looked at Qiao Xin\'s face, and he didn\'t know what to do to help Qiao Xin. Qiao Xin\'s life must have been tough right now, and the hardship was because of it. Honestly, Xiao Long wanted to tell the world that Qiao Xin was his wife, but it was this woman who had always been so stubborn that she didn\'t want to admit it. Even though Xiao Long knew, the reason behind why Qiao Xin was too stubborn was not to accept it. Because Qiao Xin assumed that this was a contract marriage, and there was no way that Qiao Xin would be proud of it after the tumultuous confession. One day the contract ended. It was not Xiao Long who was harmed, but Qiao Xin herself. Then Xiao Long took a deep breath. What should he do to be able to keep Qiao Xin from staying by his side forever? Xiao Long was now indeed in a state of fear of losing Qiao Xin, and he felt that he could not let go of Qiao Xin even then.
"Xiao Long, what happened? why did you go into the kitchen and bring a bucket?" Xiao Chuan looked into Xiao Long\'s room and Qiao Xin, who happened to have the door open. Xiao Long could only sigh, then he looked at Qiao Xin as if to answer that his wife was currently sick. "Qiqi why? Should I call the family doctor?" Xiao Chuan asked frantically. He was about to contact the doctor and was stopped by Xiao Long.
"No, grandpa. Just let her rest, let\'s talk outside," Xiao Long finally said because he also didn\'t want to disturb Qiao Xin\'s rest. Xiao Long and Xiao Chuan decide to leave Xiao Long\'s room.
After the two of them were on the balcony of the family reading room, both of them looked up at the sky, standing from end to end ideally.
"What happened?" asked Xiao Chuan in the end. He knew that something was wrong with his grandson, and Xiao Chuan didn\'t want this to interfere with Xiao Long\'s relationship with Qiao Xin.
"Qiqi is in difficult trouble, grandpa. She became the subject of gossip because every time she went to work with me, they thought that if a woman Qiqi was itching and used her beautiful face to approach me, unfortunately, Cheng also approached Qiqi, because Cheng didn\'t know that Qiqi was my wife. Things are really getting complicated now, grandpa. I don\'t even know what to do myself."
Xiao Chuan looked at his grandson, and then he seemed to take a deep breath. "Xiao Long, all of this is actually in your hands. Do you want your marriage to Qiqi? The status of contract marriage, definitely makes Qiqi unable to do anything, how could she possibly say that you and she are married when the reality is that your marriage is only a contract marriage. My advice, take action immediately before things get bad."
Xiao Long looked speechless, and then he looked at his grandfather with that sad look. "Grandpa, can I ask Grandpa for help?" said Xiao Long in the end. Xiao Chuan looked at Xiao Long as if he was waiting for his grandson to continue his speech. "I want my marriage to Qiqi to be legal before the law, grandpa."
