"Right. Grandma is daddy's mom, meanwhile, grandpa is daddy's father." Mrs. Qin also looked at Qin Wenqian with a smile. "Grandma won't hurt you. Can Qianqian let grandma hug you a little?"
Qin Wenqian hesitantly looked into Qin Gengxin's face. Her eyes were full of questions and curiosity. Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrow and smiled. "Grandpa and grandma will love you like mommy and daddy did. Don't be afraid, hm?"
Qin Wenqian nodded as if she understood something. When Mrs. Qin and Qin Xiaowen extended their hands over, she timidly shrunk her neck.
On the other side, Xian Guiying was sitting opposite the Old Woman. Seeing that the Old Woman was leaning on the couch without saying anything, but was watching Qin Wenqian, Xian Guiying smiled as she pushed a plate of fruit onto the table and handed her a slice of apple. "Grandmother, you must be hungry, right? Eat some fruit first while waiting for Dalisay and Darna to finish preparing lunch."
The Old Woman glanced at her and gave a long "En". However, she didn't accept it. She said indifferently, "Put it there. I can eat when I want."
Xian Guiying put down the apple while smiling. Dalisay and Darna had already put down their belongings and went downstairs. She looked at them and signaled them to open the living room window so that the Old Woman could rest more comfortably.
The Old Woman saw her attentive and considerate actions, but she did not express her thoughts. She only looked at the scene of Qin's Couple playing with the child and treated Xian Guiying like an air.
What a stubborn and strange Old Woman.
In this world, there was no such thing as love or hatred. She had never come into contact with this Old Woman, but this Old Woman had treated her as an enemy.
She could also tell that this Old Woman was not rejecting her as her granddaughter-in-law.
It was like the one she was rejecting was the Xian Family.
However, Xian Guiying didn't ask any further questions. She lowered her head and caressed the wound on her ankle, mentally calculating that she wouldn't be able to recover completely this week.
On the other side, Mrs. Qin finally got what she wanted and hugged Qin Wenqian in her arms. Qin Xiaowen and his wife stood by the window, playing and teasing their granddaughter. They looked very happy.
Qin Gengxin quietly watched his parents happily hugging Qin Wenqian by the window. It was unknown what he was thinking, but a faint smile actually appeared on his face.
Xian Guiying hadn't seen this smile on his face in a long time. Qin Gengxin originally had a gentle side, but he rarely showed it to others. However, Xian Guiying had felt it before.
"Hehe, in the end, this child is still a bit afraid of strangers. However, if we keep playing with her, she would slowly get closer to us." Qin Xiaowen teased the child over there for a while, then he walked towards the Old Woman with a smile. He sat down on the other couch.
Qin Xiaowen then smiled at Xian Guiying. "Don't keep everything in your heart in the future. We are family, you don't need to worry too much about it. If Gengxin hadn't told your mother-in-law about Qianqian's allergy to dog fur on the way back, we wouldn't even know."
Xian Guiying just nodded her head. "I understand."
"Gengxin has the intention to bring up these matters. It can be seen that he is defending you to your mother-in-law. At first, I thought that there was some enmity between you two, husband and wife. However, it seems that I was overthinking it." Qin Xiaowen smiled and looked at the calm Old Woman, "Mom, are you still not feeling well? Should you go up and rest?"
"I'm not that spoiled. I can stay here for a while!" The Old Woman glanced at Xian Guiying indifferently. Clearly, there was a hidden meaning behind her words.
Xian Guiying didn't mean actually to go upstairs to rest, but hearing the Old Woman's words, she smiled, "Grandma may be old, but I can say that she's healthy. Unlike us teenagers who don't exercise enough."
The Old Woman snorted coldly and turned her head to look at Mrs. Qin and Qin Wenqian, completely ignoring her.
Qin Xiaowen shook his head slightly at the Old Woman's attitude. He wanted to say something to calm Xian Guiying down, but Qin Gengxin already walked towards them.
He sat down next to Xian Guiying, bent down with concern, and touched her ankle. "How is it? Still so painful?"
His concern about Xian Guiying attracted the Old Woman's attention. Mrs. Qin, who was hugging Qin Wenqian, was also looking back and forth. Seeing that her son seemed to be on good terms with Xian Guiying, there were some questions in her eyes.
Qin Gengxin had been very busy at the company for the past few days, but no matter how busy he was, he will find time to go back and spend time with his daughter.
Recently, Qin Wenqian has become more cheerful. When Qin Gengxin went home, he just nodded at Xian Guiying and entered the study room without saying a word.
Therefore Xian Guiying asked Dalisay and Darna to set up a sofa bed in the study. For the past few nights, he had always slept in the study.
She remembered that time when he said he would think about their current relationship.
But did he think about it?
Was such respect the result of his consideration?
At this moment, Xian Guiying looked up and met his gaze with a smile. "Much better. The swelling has already subsided, but I still don't have the strength to walk. I think I'll need another three or four days before I can walk like normally."
Qin Gengxin retracted his hand and looked at her, then turned to the Old Woman and said, "Grandmother, it's rare for Guiying to have a day off, and coincidentally I also have a day off, so both of us will accompany you here."
"En." After thinking for a while, the Old Woman said, "Ten years ago, your father let you start managing the company on your own, and a few years later, the CEO power directly handed to you. You spend your whole life busying managing the company, while your father only knew traveling and spending time playing with birds. Now that you're free, you should spend your time with your child more."
Qin Xiaowen laughed and said, "Qin Corporation back then was built up by your grandfather. Although I helped out quite a bit, but in terms of business, I am still not as good as my son. You see, he had already reached such a large agreement before he was even twenty years old, and he was even more nimble than me in terms of planning, management, and innovation. I only wanted to let this brat try in the beginning, but I never expected that this brat really did not disappoint me."
As he said that, Qin Xiaowen patted Qin Gengxin on the shoulder with a proud face, "I am fortunate for having you as my son. Qin Corporation has been expanded by you. From a company that has just opened to one of the top Five Hundred companies in the world. In a few years, I may not be able to maintain my position as chairman of the board of directors!"
Qin Xiaowen's gaze moved to Xian Guiying, who was quietly smiling. "But speaking of this, Guiying is also a capable child. She was only in her early twenties when Zihao handed over the Xian Enterprise to her, and after all these years, the company has always been steady in her hands, completely different when it was under her brother back then. Being able to stand together side by side, you two really are a perfect match."
