For some reason, Xian Guiying suddenly felt guilty and her body stiffened for a moment. Then, she frowned and said, "You just took a medication, why aren't you sleeping?"
Qin Gengxin looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. After so long, he finally said, "It's nothing."
He turned around and walked back to the bedroom.
Watching his figure, Xian Guiying forced herself to think about everything that happened in the years before their marriage. Thinking of the handsome Wei Zhengsheng and after telling herself that she could not turn back or let him down, she immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed.
When Xian Guiying arrived at the designated hotel near noon, the Wei Family Elders, who had stayed at the hotel the night before, were already standing there eagerly, waiting for her.
When Xian Guiying got out of the taxi, she saw Xian Zihao, who had also gotten out of the taxi by the side of the road.
"Guiying! Why don't you bring your child with you?" Mrs. Wei smiled as she approached and took her hand, smiling as she pulled her to the hotel.
On the other hand, Mr. Wei walked towards Xian Zihao."I have long heard the name of the famous President Xian. I've finally had a chance to meet you today."
"Uncle Wei is too polite."
"Eh? How can this be called politeness? If it weren't for your promotion and interest, our family Zhengsheng would never have earned his present achievement." Mr. Wei shook hands with Xian Zihao with a smile."Let's get inside."
Xian Guiying looked at the time on her wrist. She was in a hurry when she left, so she didn't know if Qin Gengxin was awake or not.
"Why are you so distracted?" Wei Zhengsheng sat down next to her and whispered quietly.
Xian Guiying came back to her senses and looked at him with a smile. She shook her head and replied, "It's nothing."I was just worried about Qianqian and wondered if she'd be bored at home alone."
"Then we have to hurry and not waste a lot of time." Wei Zhengsheng smiled and held her hand gently."You have met my parents before, so don't be nervous."
The reason why he said this was because Xian Guiying's hands were already covered in sweat.
Xian Zihao continued to chat politely with the two elders of the Wei Family until Mrs. Wei turned to look at Xian Guiying and Wei Zhengsheng. She then laughed and said, "Guiying, you don't have to be polite. You've seen us once. We are the ones who should feel nervous since this is our first time meet your brother."
"I'm fine, auntie. Don't worry about me and don't feel nervous about my brother. He is an easy-going person."
"I can see it. President Xian is an outstanding man, but unfortunately, he already has a wife and children. If not, I really want to introduce Zhengsheng's sister to your brother."
Xian Guiying had never met Wei Zhengsheng's sister, but she knew the Wei Elders had two children.
Xian Guiying spoke politely during the meal. As they were about to discuss the wedding, the latest news about Boston's business community was displayed on a screen on the wall.
"We are here at the Qin Corporation Building. From our reliable sources, it is to be said that this company will soon change under someone else's name. The strange thing is why the outstanding CEO, Qin Gengxin, who has always been famous in the US business world, fell so low in just one night? Let's interview the internal members of the Qin Corporation." The woman's voice came out of the television in English.
Xian Guiying took her glass of water and drank it immediately.
At the same time, Xian Zihao looked at Wei Zhengheng without batting an eyelid. Wei Zhengsheng also looked at Xian Zihao silently.
It was as if time was frozen at that time.
Xian Guiying's grip on the glass tightened slightly.
Around 2 pm, she returned home, but Xian Zihao was still staying at the hotel to chat with the Wei Family Elders.
Usually, when Qin Wenqian was at home alone, she would turn on the television to watch cartoons. Furthermore, this child was smart and even if she were at home alone, she wouldn't cry or randomly touch anything that she shouldn't touch. Therefore, Xian Guiying had always been very trusting towards her daughter.
"Mommy!" Seeing that Xian Guiying had returned, Qin Wenqian raised her head and looked at her mother with a smile."You're back!"
Xian Guiying looked at her daughter and smiled. She placed a slice of cake she had just bought on the coffee table."Wash your hands first before eating."
"Alright!" When Qin Wenqian saw the cake, she giggled and jumped off the couch to wash her hands.
When Xian Guiying entered the bedroom, she saw that the man who was supposed to be lying on the bed already gone.
"Mommy, are you looking for him?" Qin Wenqian looked at Xian Guiying innocently as she ate her cake.
"He's gone?" For some reason, Xian Guiying felt her legs were weak, so she immediately sat on the couch.
"He just left. Mommy, isn't he sick? I don't think he had any strength anymore when he left the house."
"Why did he suddenly leave? Did he say something before he left?" Xian Guiying looked at her daughter.
"When I came back, he opened the door and wanted to hug me, but I avoided him." Qin Wenqian said while eating the cream from the cake.
Then she tilted her head and said, "Mommy, I didn't let him hug me! He told me mommy went out and asked what I wanted to eat, and I said that I was not hungry, and then.. Then..."
Qin Wenqian scratched her head and said, "I said, I know where mommy went! Mommy went to eat with Uncle Wei's parents!"
Xian Guiying was immediately stunned.
"Mommy, why didn't you say anything?"
No wonder he left.
Xian Guiying raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. She leaned back on the couch and said nothing. Qin Wenqian pouted and focused on eating the cake. After finishing eating the cake, she carefully climbed onto Xian Guiying's lap. She hugged her arm, tilted her head, and said, "Mommy?"
Xian Guiying came back to her senses and looked at her daughter.
Qin Wenqian's eyes widened as she suddenly said, "Does daddy don't want you to marry Uncle Wei?"
It had been a long time since the words 'daddy' came out from the child's mouth.
Seeing her daughter calling Qin Gengxin' daddy' so happily all of a sudden, Xian Guiying was unable to respond for a moment.
Qin Wenqian buried her face in Xian Guiying's bosom and said wistfully, "Mommy, I really like Uncle Wei, but..."
"But you want daddy too, don't you?" Xian Guiying raised her hand and stroked her daughter's head gently.
"Mm..." Qin Wenqian's soft voice could be heard from her bosom.
"Actually, you want to play with your daddy this morning, but since you know that your daddy is sick and you're afraid that mommy will be unhappy, you're not bothering him, are you?"
"Actually, Qianqian, you also don't know what else to do right now, like mommy too, right?"
"All these years, mommy never felt that mommy had to be treated with the same feelings because mommy loved daddy so much. But at that time in H City, your daddy told me that it wasn't that he hadn't loved, it was that he couldn't love, that mommy was special."
"Actually, mommy can't let it go too. In the years after you were born, you became a shy baby who would wake up if you heard voices, slowly learned to talk and grow up in front of mommy. But your daddy.. He never showed up."
"Mommy just hates his insensitive feelings. Mommy never asked him to reciprocate mommy's feelings. Yet, why with every step he took now, I couldn't even see them clearly anymore?"
"Qianqian, Uncle Wei is very kind to us. Mommy really doesn't want to disappoint him. He deserves to be treated better by this world. I don't want to disappoint him but..."
Xian Guiying closed her eyes and exhaled slightly."Qianqian, tell mommy, do you want Uncle Wei the most, or do you want daddy the most?"
Qin Wenqian didn't answer. The door to the apartment suddenly opened. Xian Zihao, who entered with the apartment key, looked at Xian Guiying calmly."Your own heart has already made the choice. Why ask the child who doesn't know anything?"
