Xian Zihao and Xian Guiying immediately went silent. Xian Guiying hurriedly walked over and patted Qin Wenqian's hand."It's not New Year's Day, and it's not uncle's wedding. What red packet do you want?"
However, Xian Zihao did not mind and placed the child on his lap. He said softly, "Uncle will make one for you in a moment."
"Why are you all treating her so well? You're going to spoil my daughter!" Xian Guiying frowned with a helpless smile on her face.
Xian Zihao didn't say anything. After patting Qin Wenqian's head, he finally spoke."Such a small child without her father by her side, no matter how good her life and condition are, it makes one's heart ache and feel pity."
Xian Guiying's hand stiffened slightly as she lifted her head to look at him.
Xian Zihao didn't look at her. He patted Qin Wenqian's head while saying something, laughing and teasing the child in his arms.
"Mommy~" After playing with her uncle for a while, Qin Wenqian turned her body and smiled. She giggled and looked at Xian Guiying."Didn't you say you're going to eat with Uncle Wei's parents? When are you going to change?"
"Silly girl, it's not right now." Xian Guiying glanced at her daughter with a smile before turning around to clean the wardrobe.
Qin Wenqian immediately raised her small hand, grinned, and took the paper boat from Xian Zihao's hand. When she did, she said, "Uncle, uncle, I want a paper bird, a paper pig and a paper peacock!"
Xian Zihao sighed helplessly."Qianqian's desired animals are too difficult for uncle to make. What if uncle can't do it?"
"Uncle don't know how to do it?" Qianqian suddenly giggled."Then I'll teach you how to make a paper crane!"
After saying that, the little girl squirmed until Xian Zihao understood her wishes and he put her down on the floor. Qianqian ran back to the bedroom, laughing.
While Xian Guiying was still hanging her clothes, Xian Zihao walked over and looked at the clothes in the wardrobe."All these years, you don't seem to have bought any clothes."
Xian Guiying tidied up the wardrobe and said, "Women dress for the benefit of others. I'm already a mother, how can I always buy clothes like before? I'll just wear whatever I have."
In other words, if there's no one she likes, or if she had no intention of seeing the person she loved the most, she will not be in the mood to dress up.
Xian Zihao didn't expose her. Looking at her figure, he said softly, "Guiying, if your heart is in a mess right now, why don't you come back with me first. You have the biggest knot in your heart, and he is one of them."
Xian Guiying's hand stiffened.
"If you really want to marry Wei Zhengsheng and find a suitable replacement for Qianqian's father, I'm glad to see your happiness. However --"
"There's no 'however', brother. You saw how Brother Wei treated me, who else should I marry?" Xian Guiying smiled."Over the twelve years of waiting, I had never once looked at him, but now I understand it. If I didn't appreciate guys like this, then I would be a stupid person and wasting my chance of happiness."
"Alright, since you have made up your mind, then come back home when you have time."
"Home?" Xian Guiying looked at him in the blink of an eye."Brother..."
"You intend only to allow me to be a witness to your marriage and not even your other family? What about mom then? If someone from the Wei Family visits the Xian Family all of a sudden, and they are completely unaware and unprepared for this, do you think this is appropriate?"
Xian Guiying stared at him before saying, "Tell them for me."
Xian Zihao didn't refuse, nor did he agree. He just looked at her with a slightly cold gaze.
Xian Guiying closed the wardrobe door. After a while, she said, "The incident between Qin Gengxin and me is already big enough. They still don't know about our divorce. If I come back and tell them I'm divorced and remarried soon..." She paused."I don't want to see grandpa's face, nor I want to see the disappointed expressions of mom and dad. It's fine if you tell them that I ran away or that I didn't know what I was doing this time."
"Guiying, that's your home." Xian Zihao said softly.
"Is that so?" Xian Guiying looked at him and said, "Brother, you know why I've been in the United States all this time. For me, the Xian Family may be my home, as you say, but everything this family brought to me is ice-cold. I never felt the warmth of a family in that house. Besides, even now, I still don't know what kind of relationship between the Qin Family and the Xian Family have. Why does Qin Gengxin's grandmother look at me with disgust every time she sees me? Do you really want me to go back?"
Xian Zihao's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He seemed to know something. Seeing his sister's clear and calm eyes, he could only sigh.
"Grandfather and Qin Gengxin's grandmother must have had some kind of story, don't they? I really admire grandpa. He made too many mistakes when he was young, making us of the younger generation bear his retribution from time to time again. Although I am not sure what exactly happened, but I think that Qin Gengxin's refusal of my feelings for him for the past few years should have something to do with grandpa."
Seeing how Xian Zihao didn't reply and just kept quiet, Xian Guiying immediately smiled."Looks like my guess is right."
"So at the time, even if you knew that Qin Gengxin fainted in the hospital and could not come to see Qianqian and me, you did not tell me. Brother, did you learn something later?"
Hearing Xian Guiying's question, Xian Zihao just looked at her as if he didn't want to say anything.
Just then, the bedroom door opened and Qin Wenqian ran inside. She picked up a small picture book, held it high, and ran to Xian Zihao's legs."Uncle! Let me show you! This is a picture book Uncle Wei bought for me! There's a stack of pictures of paper cranes in it!"
Qin Wenqian hugged Xian Zihao's legs and happily put the picture book in his hand.
Xian Zihao looked down and saw the happy face of the little girl. Smiling, he picked up the book and opened it. Only then did he realize that it was actually a tutorial on some simple folding paper that kids could learn.
Xian Zihao lifted Qin Wenqian up and said, "Let's go. Uncle will accompany you to fold the paper."
Before they returned to the living room, Xian Zihao glanced at Xian Guiying.
She didn't even look at him.
????
The next day, the Xian Enterprise Building.
Xian Guiying had previously made a call to Secretary Dai. Even though she was no longer the CEO, she can still be considered an important figure in Xian Enterprise. Before she went there, she already asked Secretary Dai's help on the phone.
When Xian Guiying went to the top level, she saw Secretary Dai walk out of the meeting room.
While walking, Xian Guiying arranged the documents in her hands.
"President Wei is in a meeting right now. I told him you were coming and he let me out of the meeting room, " said Secretary Dai.
Xian Guiying nodded her head and they both walked to the lounge area. She handed the folder to Secretary Dai."Find a way to transfer Qin Gengxin's properties back to him."
"Why?" Secretary Dai looked at her in astonishment."Why do you want to return them to him?"
"It's not mine. I don't want it and I'm not short of money either. When we divorced, I told him that we didn't have to split the property and that was enough for each of us to go back to the beginning. These things have not been mine from the beginning, so what's wrong with that?" Xian Guiying asked softly.
After hesitating for a moment, Secretary Dai said, "I heard that.. You and President Wei are getting married?"
