Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched. "You little girl …"
The sparkle in Bai Nuying's eyes was very much like Xian Guiying in the early years of her life, always sticking to him. Although she didn't want to be so attached to him, the way she looked at him was always the same, very bright and full of stars.
As he realized that he was somehow thinking of Xian Guiying, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing outside the window, and he suddenly looked up.
The instant their eyes met, Qin Gengxin froze. With a frown, he subconsciously pushed Bai Nuying away and opened the door to the office.
Xian Guiying stood by the window silently with a contract in her hand. She observed everything that had happened since Bai Nuying came out of Qin Gengxin's private resting room, including the slight indulgence and gentleness he showed to her.
It was a lie to say that she wasn't jealous. All of this indulgence and gentleness, as well as that faint warmth, had once belonged solely to her, Xian Guiying, and now …
Xian Guiying didn't avoid his stares the moment he saw her. She just looked at him and smiled.
Of course, she had no idea what Qin Gengxin was thinking or planning. She only knew that all of this scene had given her a fierce slap in the face, waking her up to let her see this stupidity.
As soon as Qin Gengxin opened the office door and rushed out, Xian Guiying turned around and left.
"Ahh…Brother Gengxin…" Bai Nuying didn't see the people outside the window. She just knew that Qin Gengxin's mood had changed out of a sudden. Like a gust of wind, he left the office.
Bai Nuying hurriedly chased after him and then changed her way of calling him, "President Qin!"
"Boss!"
When Huang Jingguo saw Qin Gengxin walk out, he immediately called him. However, Qin Gengxin just walked past him and stepped towards Xian Guiying, who was walking towards the elevator.
Xian Guiying walked fast, but she did not run away. At this point, she didn't want to see his face, hear his voice, or know anything about him.
"Guiying." Qin Gengxin chased after her, reaching out to grab her wrist.
Xian Guiying wrenched her hand away from him and quickened her pace, her back to him.
"Stand still." Qin Gengxin frowned as he spoke harshly. He then stepped forward and forcefully grabbed her wrist, pulling her to his side.
Suddenly, Xian Guiying, whose ankle was injured, staggered to his side. She almost fell into his arms, but she managed to stand firmly. She didn't get close. She raised her head and looked at him coldly. "Let go!"
"Why are you here?" Qin Gengxin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he helped to support her.
Xian Guiying smiled. There was a hint of coldness in her smile. "I came to discuss the renewal of our cooperation project, but it seems like I didn't come at the right time."
She pushed the contract to him and said, "This is the cooperation project between Qin Corporation and Xian Enterprise when my brother was still in charge. I do not want to interfere with it. Whether renewal or termination, President Qin, you can think about it first and give me the answer three days later."
With that, she turned around and left.
In that short moment, she had suppressed all of her anger. After saying all that she wanted to say with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, her indifferent attitude made Huang Jingguo hurriedly stop Bai Nuying, who was chasing after Qin Gengxin.
Bai Nuying didn't know what had happened. From her angle, she only saw a woman talking to Qin Gengxin. Qin Gengxin's back was on them, so she couldn't see his expression.
"Who is that?" She asked softly.
Huang Jingguo turned his head to look at Bai Nuying with a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't easily offend Mrs. Bai's daughter. Still, as a man who had a wife and family and a sense of responsibility, he really didn't want Bai Nuying to cause any more trouble between Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin.
"You can go back to your work now." Huang Jingguo said in a low voice.
Bai Nuying looked at him in confusion, then looked the other way. "Where did the woman come from? Or is she an admirer of President Qin?" After saying that, she suddenly laughed. "Could it be that there is a high school girl who wants to climb into Brother Gengxin's bed or some shameless woman who wants to show off? You are afraid I would be jealous, right? Don't worry, I know exactly what kind of person Brother Gengxin is."
With that, she walked past Huang Jingguo and headed in that direction quickly.
"Ah, Miss Bai!" Huang Jingguo wanted to stop her, but Bai Nuying glared at him. His eyelids twitched and he could only give up and watched the situation worriedly.
"It's not like what you saw just now. Since you are here to discuss the contract renewals, calm down first. Let's go inside and talk. OK?" Qin Gengxin could see that Xian Guiying was suppressing her anger beneath her calm surface. Although she had a strong personality, she rarely lost her temper, and when she was really angry, she would just laugh.
Even though he didn't have to explain it to her, his hand was still clinging to hers, unshakable.
Xian Guiying was unable to get rid of his hand. She was about to say something when she suddenly saw the rapidly approaching Bai Nuying. Then she looked up at Qin Gengxin's solemn expression, and suddenly. The smile on her face deepened. "This is your real reason, isn't it? It turned out that what lay in front of me was not only Jiang Ruolan, who lived in your memory, but also someone else. Qin Gengxin, maybe I should have come to your company earlier. Maybe if I saw the truth a day earlier, I wouldn't have stood here and appeared like a clown."
Qin Gengxin patiently held her wrist. "Let's talk inside."
"Brother Gengxin!" Bai Nuying suddenly walked over and stood beside him. She raised her pretty face to look directly at Xian Guiying and immediately she was shocked. "Xian…Guiying."
After all, Xian Guiying had stayed on Qin Gengxin's side for years, and they had always been paired up in the past. Bai Nuying was jealous, so jealous until her teeth itched, and then, for some reason, Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying seemed to have become strangers, never meeting each other anywhere. Although she wasn't sure what had happened, she knew that Xian Guiying was no longer her rival.
But she didn't expect to see her here.
"Is it necessary to talk about it?" Xian Guiying looked at Bai Nuying's arms on his before looking up at him with a smile that was not a smile. "Let me go!"
"Go back to your work. It's none of your business." Qin Gengxin's gaze did not shift from Xian Guiying's face as he spoke to the girl next to him.
Bai Nuying was stunned for a moment when she saw Qin Gengxin imprisoning Xian Guiying's wrist. She immediately bit her lower lip and hesitantly put down her hand, which had just wrapped around his arm. She then looked at Xian Guiying, who did not even bother to look at her and said softly, "Bro…Brother Gengxin."
