"Joe Zixuan finally spoke, and his words pierced Joe Shunchen's heart even deeper. " 。Yes, the most awkward person should be Qin Jingwen. 。"I'm sorry, Daddy. I promise I won't make this mistake agai...Jiō Shùn chén's faint smile made Ban Yue mesmerized, if her uncle could keep smiling like that forever, it would be great.

"Uncle, you're so handsome when you smile, I love it."

Ban Yue continued speaking, just then the doorbell rang. Qin Jingwen hurried up and walked towards the door, Qiao Zixuan following closely behind.

Qin Jingwen looked at the video by the door. The screen showed an elderly man, but she didn't recognize him.

"Whom are you looking for"

Qin Jingwen politely asked.

"It's Grandpa, Auntie, open the door quickly."

While no one else answered, Qiao Zixuan gave the answer.

But this answer surprised Qin Jingwen.

Is this Grandpa Joe Qiao Zixuan's grandfather is the chairman of the Qiao Corporation, Qiao Shunchen's grandfather. What brings him here

Qin Jingwen opened the door in puzzlement, only to see Liu the steward standing beside her.

"Hello!"

Qin Jingwen nodded in greeting.

"Grandfather!"

Qiao Zi-xuan greeted happily.

Joe Xiang gently stroked Qiao Zi Xuan's head without any expression. Then he calmly walked in.

"Grandpa, how did you come here"

Jo Shunchen, who was sitting on the sofa, rarely showed a look of surprise.

"You're hurt, shouldn't I come and see"

Joe Xiang spoke in a cold and clear voice.

"Please take a seat, Chairman."

Qin Jingwen pulled the half-moon chair over from its resting place and gestured for Qiao Dexiang to sit down.

"Hello, Grandpa."

Half Moon bowed deeply to Joe Xiang, greeting him.

However, this phrase "Grandpa" unexpectedly touched Joe's heart.

His gaze fell on the little girl, her sweet smile lighting up her face and captivating everyone who saw her.

Hello children. What are your names

Qiao Shunchen's voice gradually softened.

"My name is Qin Si."

Ban Yue answered cheerfully.

"Qin Si Thinking of whom"

Joe Xiang asked deeply.

"This..."

Half-moon noodles looked troubled. This mommy hadn't told her, she didn't know who to miss.

However, this little problem couldn't stop the half-month spirit for long. After half a month, a flash of inspiration appeared again, and a smile broke out once more.

Missing Uncle, missing brother Xuanxuan.

Joe Xiang was taken aback by the half-month's words, Qiao Shunchen felt warm and touched, but Qin Jing broke out in a cold sweat.

“……”

She wanted to call for Ban Yue, but at this time Ban Yue continued to speak.

"Grandfather, at home they call me Half Moon. Since you're my family now, please call me Half Moon too."

"Half a moon What does that even mean"

Joe Xiang came to his senses after the accident. This little girl, despite her young age, was incredibly charming.

"Look."

Ban Yue said, raising her right hand to reveal the crescent moon-shaped birthmark on her forearm. Then she continued speaking.

"Grandpa, look at this birthmark. Doesn't it look like a half moon That's why I'm called Half Moon."

Ban Yue's words flowed merrily, but Qin Jingwen on the side felt her soul nearly scattered by her.

The birthmark on his right forearm resembled half a crescent moon, hence the name "Half Moon". The one on his left forearm looked like a Yuanbao (ancient Chinese gold coin), thus named "Yuanbao". Thinking of this, Qiao De Xiang felt his heart tighten and looked at Qin Jingwen.

Coincidence Is there really such a thing as coincidence

Qin Jingwen showed panic and hurriedly spoke.

"Half Moon, come over to Mommy's side. Grandpa came to see Uncle, you can't always hog him."

Qin Jingwen walked to Half Moon's side, took her hand, and retreated a few steps.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry. I can go back to work in two days."

Qiao Shunchen finally spoke, changing the subject.

"If you're going to rest, you should go home to rest. What are you doing here"

Joel's voice was once again cold, his clear eyes carrying a hint of reproach.

Qin Jingwen immediately understood Qiao Dexiang's purpose upon hearing this and quickly spoke up.

"Half-moon pavilion, auntie will take you upstairs to play."

Qin Jingwen held one hand with a person about to leave, but unexpectedly was stopped by Qiao Dexiang.

"You stay, Xuan Xuan takes Half Moon upstairs."

Joe's voice was commanding, and Xuanxuan began to obey. Qin Jingwen was also forced to turn around.

After the two children left, Joe let Qin Jingwen sit down again.

Besides what Half Moon had just said, which made Qin Jingwen feel alarmed, she could face anything with composure. Therefore, Qin Jingwen was now sitting opposite Qiao Dexiang with a calm and composed demeanor.

“Grandpa…”

Jo Shunchin had already guessed what Qiao Dexiang wanted to say, and opened his mouth wanting to take his grandfather to the room to talk, however, a gesture from Qiao Dexiang made Jo Shunchin swallow his words.

"Qin Jingwen, a software engineer at Qiao Corporation, and an employee of Qiao Shunchen. But why would your boss live in your house"

Joe Xiang spoke coldly, his shrewd eyes making Qin Jingwen ponder.

It seems he wasn't here to see Qiao Shunchen, his target was her, Qin Jingwen. He came to confront her. But it's good that he is, if he could resolve the issue of Qiao Shunchen bothering her, she would have to thank this elderly man.

Qin Jingwen glanced at Qiao Shunchen, but she didn't receive any message asking for help, so she could only open her mouth to respond.

"He got hurt because of me, I should take care of him."

Qin Jing spoke in a soft, gentle voice. Actually, saying it this way was equivalent to taking all the responsibility upon herself. The chairman would definitely think she was keeping Qiao Shunchen against his will. In that case, even more people would see her as the bad guy.

Let them be bad, it doesn't matter if there's one more.

He got hurt for you, Song In-eun should be taking care of him, not you. If you feel indebted, you can work hard to repay...

Joe Xiang's face grew increasingly grim, and his voice turned icy. However, what he hadn't expected was that Qiao Shunchen would interrupt him.

"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with her. You know me best; I won't do things I don't want to. No one can control me. I chose to stay here."

Joe Shun-chen saw that his grandfather had no intention of giving up easily, so he quickly spoke up. If Qin Jingwen was targeted by his grandfather, her life would probably be very difficult.

"Why are you staying here"

Joe Xiang looked sternly at Joe Shunchen.

"It's convenient to work here, and there are many projects I want to research with her."

Qiao Shunchen could only say that, he wasn't incapable of taking responsibility. If he spoke the true reason, Qin Jingwen would very likely leave this city.

Joe Shun-chen saw that his grandfather was unresponsive and continued speaking.

"Xuan Xuan is here too, it's convenient for me to take care of him."

"You've never taken care of Xuanxuan before, if you were really doing this for Xuanxuan's sake."

Joe Xiang stopped there, and then opened his mouth again, this time with a voice as cold as ice.

"Liu Guanjia immediately took the young master away, I will take care of my Qiao family's children myself."

"Yes."

Liu the butler received the order and immediately strode upstairs.

At this time, Qin Jingwen panicked and didn't have time to think too much. She directly stood in front of Liu Guanjia.

"No, the child cannot go back."

Qin Jing spoke warmly and resolutely, saying that no one could take Qiao Zixuan away. She would do everything in her power to protect Xuanxuan.

"Chairman, I know what you're worried about, and I assure you that the things you're worried about will absolutely not happen."

Qin Jingwen is a smart person, that much is clear.

"Guarantee Guarantee what, be specific."

Joe spoke sternly, his eyes sharp.

"Grandpa, this is my own business and I can handle it myself. I also guarantee that nothing you're worried about will happen. She's just a woman with no status or power, and she has a child too. She can't possibly affect me."

Joe Shunchen spoke up immediately, he didn't want to hear any assurances from Qin Jingwen. However, his words made Qin Jingwen's heart feel exceptionally bitter.

Qin Jingwen knew how inadequate she was, and she also knew she didn't deserve Qiao Shunchen. What Qiao Shunchen said was the truth, but why did he have to point out her pain in front of others

Qin Jingwen glanced at Qiao Shunchen in disappointment, her eyes already cold when she looked away.

"Mr. Chairman, I assure you, I won't covet even a penny from him, nor will I scheme for Mrs. ____'s position, nor will I have any relationship with him beyond that of colleagues, nor will I tempt him, nor...nor will I fall in love with him."

Qin Jingwen looked at Joe Xiang's dissatisfied face and had to make specific guarantees. But as she spoke, she realized that her heart was not sour but aching.

"...."

Joe Shunchen didn't speak to stop Qin Jingwen. When he saw the determination in her eyes, he knew that even if he spoke, he couldn't stop her.

But that sentence, saying she wouldn't fall in love with him, caused his brows to furrow.

"Qin Jingwen is very good and self-aware. These are all your words, if you can't do it, the consequences will be on you."

Joe Xiang's tone softened, and he looked at Qin Jingwen with satisfaction. After a moment's pause, he continued speaking.

You promised me that I could keep Xu Xu, but Shunchen has to come with me.

Although the old man's voice was soft, it was very piercing.

Qin Jingwen once again looked at Qiao Shunchen, looking at his still cold brows, looking at his still gloomy face, looking at his injured ankle but feeling reluctant.

She shouldn't feel this way. It was her desperate hope that he would leave. If he left, her life could return to normal. She must be crazy for even having these thoughts.

Jo Shunchen remained silent, and he didn't even glance at Qin Jingwen.

He rose slowly and walked stiffly toward the door.

Joe Shunchen left just like that, leaving with such determination, not even a glance back at Qin Jingwen.

Qin Jingwen's world fell silent, a silence so swift and sudden that it left her feeling hollow.

Joe Shun-chen didn't go home, but went to Joe Te-hsiang's old house.

On the way back to my ancestral home.

What did Song Yiren tell you

Jo Shunchen opened his mouth silently, without even needing to think, he knew it was Song Yien.

"If it wasn't her, then how would I know It's all over the company. I'm not deaf or blind, everyone knows, so how could I not"

Joe's voice was laced with anger and reproach.

"......"

Joe Shunchen remained silent, unsure how to defend himself. After all, he and Qin Jingwen had indeed been intimate, so the rumors spreading weren't entirely unexpected.

"What you've done is unwise. Though the Song family isn't as glorious as it used to be, they still hold significant value. Because of a woman, you've quarreled with the Song family, which goes beyond a simple romantic issue and involves Qiao's interests."

Joe Xiang spoke in a low voice.

Song Yi'en already knew about this before he found him, but he thought Qiao Shunchen could handle it himself.

But Qiao Shunchen disappointed him, so he had to step forward.

"I won't let this affect the Qiao family, and I definitely won't let the Song family lead me around by the nose. Grandfather, back when the families arranged a marriage, you promised not to interfere in my private affairs."

Joe Shunchen doesn't think the same way his grandfather does.

He will handle this situation with care, and even if it affects Joe's company, he will resolve it properly.e money to Su Qin as it was, and she didn't want to have a falling out with her now, so she could only avoid Su Qin. 。As for the next meeting, it all depends on whether she can come up with a way to h...
