When Xian Guiying saw that Qin Gengxin didn't seem to be against Qin Wenqian at all, she couldn't tell what she was feeling. Originally, she was worried that Qin Gengxin would push her daughter away and she was worried to see the miserably crying Qin Wenqian. Thus, she usually ran for close to an hour, but today, she only ran half an hour before rushing back.
The scene in front of her left her speechless. After so long, she finally returned to her senses and noticed Qin Gengxin was staring at her full of suspicion. She finally said, "I plan on sending her to kindergarten in a few months."
She did know that Qin Wenqian only stayed with her every day and only played with the two Filipino servants. Her daughter rarely came into contact with other people, so this method wasn't good.
However, Qin Wenqian's body was not well, and her growth was slow. Although she was much healthier than other children with the same disease, her endurance was really weak. Xian Guiying was afraid to send her daughter to the kindergarten too early and there were also many other reasons she couldn't explain to Qin Gengxin.
Xian Guiying knew that the baby in her womb would not be as healthy as other children when she was four months, but she could feel the baby moving in her womb. The little life she had with her lover will grow day by day in her womb, from a fertilized egg to a little one, from a quiet little one to a little one who starts dancing in her belly.
The long and special nurturing process was something that cannot be experienced by people who have never given birth. It was a wonderful feeling to be moved, to look forward, and to feel the wonders of life and reproduction at the same time.
Thankfully, Qin Wenqian was much healthier after she was born than her peers, but her growth was slow. Doctors said that physically, as long as she can live past the age of six, she will be like a normal child. Therefore, Xian Guiying always took care of Qin Wenqian carefully.
For Xian Guiying, the past few years were a hurdle in her and Qin Wenqian's life. As long as they can get through it safely, everything will be fine. However, if there's a mistake or a moment of carelessness …Something bad will happened.
"I thought, with your personality, you would definitely send your child to kindergarten earlier, but who would have thought that you are not as strict as you'll be."
Xian Guiying just looked at him and didn't explain too much. She walked over and hugged Qin Wenqian. "Qianqian, be good. Mommy will take you to wash your face, brush your teeth and eat. Don't draw anymore, the watercolor pen pigment is bad for people's skin."
As she spoke, she smiled and opened her arms.
Qin Wenqian stopped drawing and turned around to look at the smiling Xian Guiying. "Mommy, carry daddy to wash his face first and brush his teeth before we go to eat breakfast!"
Xian Guiying laughed. Qin Gengxin's face darkened. He picked up Qin Wenqian and hugged her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Daddy is a strong man, no need to be carried."
"Then daddy will take me to wash my face!" Qin Wenqian hugged his neck, acting coquettishly with a sticky expression on her face, as if she didn't want to be separated from him even for a moment.
God knows how shocking and unbelievable it was for Xian Guiying to see someone who hadn't returned in two years patiently holding a child like this. But she was worried Qin Gengxin would lose his temper with how the child acted, so she gently said, "Qianqian, don't bother daddy. Let him wash his face, otherwise this watercolor pigment will make daddy's face allergic. Mommy and Auntie Dalisay will take you to the bathroom, okay?"
Qin Wenqian pouted but didn't persist. She obediently let go of Qin Gengxin's neck and looked at him. Seeing that her father didn't insist on bringing her to wash her face, she turned her head with a disappointed face and stretched out her hand to get her mother to hug her. Although she turned around, her eyes were filled with grievance and sadness, as if she had discovered that her father didn't love her.
Xian Guiying was about to pick the child up when Qin Gengxin suddenly pulled Qin Wenqian back into his arms. He whispered, "I'll do it."
With that, he stood up and carried the bright-eyed Qin Wenqian into the bathroom.
Xian Guiying turned around and saw Qin Gengxin carrying the child to the bathroom. She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Do you really know how to wash a child's face?"
"Nonsense, I'm already a grown man, wouldn't I know how to wash her face? Do you think I haven't woken up from this drinking?" Qin Gengxin didn't look at her as he replied lazily before entering the bathroom.
Xian Guiying immediately walked to the bathroom, only to see Qin Gengxin turned on the tap in the marble sink. After testing the water temperature, he lowered his body to push his daughter's head in that direction, only to find out that he couldn't do that, so he wet his hand with the water and wiped it onto the child's face.
He couldn't wipe much off her face. Qin Wenqian was already crying out in discomfort as he hugged her.
Xian Guiying frowned and a smile appeared on her face. She leaned against the door and waited to see how Qin Gengxin, who had never taken care of a child before, would wash his daughter's face.
Qin Gengxin used one hand to wipe the child's face and the other hand held her. He needed to master good balance to prevent Qin Wenqian from falling.
"Mommy!"
When Qin Gengxin, who was initially showing off his strength, heard Xian Guiying's chuckle, his face immediately darkened. He lowered his head and looked at Qin Wenqian with a conflicted expression, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Qin Wenqian could only shout, choked with sobs, "Mommy!"
Xian Guiying was about to walk over when Darna ran over after hearing the child's scream. She saw the scene in the bathroom and immediately rushed in, "Mr. Qin, you can't do it like that! Let me do it!"
Seeing that Darna had arrived, Xian Guiying was relieved. She glanced at Qin Gengxin, who had humiliated himself greatly, before turning around and leaving.
Seeing Xian Guiying's expression, Qin Gengxin's half-darkened face instantly turned black. He handed over the crying Qin Wenqian to Darna and immediately followed Xian Guiying from behind.
In the bathroom, Qin Wenqian, who was carried by Darna, was coaxed by her. Qin Gengxin could still hear Qin Wenqian mumbling, feeling a little wronged, "Why doesn't daddy know how to wash my face? He is stupid."
Hearing the child's words, the corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched. Coincidentally he saw Xian Guiying giggling with her back facing him. He immediately frowned. "If you want to laugh, then laugh. Don't hold back."
Xian Guiying stopped smiling and looked back. Seeing the frustration in Qin Gengxin's eyes, she smiled and tilted her head as she looked at him. After a while, she said, "I thought you're going to push her away."
Qin Gengxin was stunned. "What?"
