Xian Guiying still did not move and just put the contract in her hand on the beautiful round table next to her. "I have decided on divorce, there is not much to discuss. This is a contract for the cooperation. See it if there are things you want to change, or terminate. I will leave this contract with you first, you can answer it within three days. Wei Zhengsheng will appear to deal with this contract."
Qin Gengxin didn't look at the contract but at her face.
He could not figure out when Xian Guiying, who was once innocent and sunny, had become so decisive, so determined. When she said she would get divorced, it was even more satisfying than he had imagined.
He had indeed once thought of waiting for her to torture herself to the point of giving up so that she would become aware of the consequences of forcing him in that way.
In front of him was what he had intended to do two years ago.
When it finally came, she was more straightforward than he had expected.
As for him, he was much more surprised than he had imagined.
What went wrong?
Qin Gengxin just looked at her, at the woman who had been beaten by the wind and rain for a long time yet was still as persistent as a tree. His heart, which had been calm for the past two years, suddenly felt a little sore.
He felt something stirring in his heart when he saw that she was finally leaving and that she would finally disappear from his life.
He really wasn't that stupid.
The pain in his heart was all because he saw that Xian Guiying, who had become strong beyond his shadow, was no longer the Xian Guiying, who was following him at his side. In the years he ignored her, she had grown into a completely different person.
He felt that Xian Guiying was suddenly reborn.
While looking at her, Qin Gengxin suddenly sighed. He lowered his head and looked at the contract on the table. He picked it up, looked at it for a moment, then put it down again, then looked at her again. "Even though I'm not a good person, the only thing I can tell you is that in the two years after our marriage, I haven't had a history of extramarital affairs."
Xian Guiying didn't say a word. She just stood there, looking straight at him. Her gaze quietly fell on his face, but it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
This made Qin Gengxin frown. "Do you know why I haven't wanted to see my daughter for the past two years?
Her eyes moved, but it was just a slight movement. There was no ripple.
"Xian Guiying, blood is thicker than water. Even from the very beginning I have decided not to meet you again, the child is still mine." His eyes were staring straight into hers and his voice was calm with a slight sigh. "Right now, when I finally meet my daughter and know what happened to her, do you really think I'll agree to a divorce?"
"Qin Gengxin, my daughter and I have spent two years getting used to the world without you. She had spent the years without her father's presence. Yes, she will cry and make trouble, but you never knew that my daughter was very tolerant. If she knew that her father didn't want her anymore, she wouldn't certainly shed a single tear! And she would no longer shout that she wanted her father because she is my, Xian Guiying's daughter!"
"What do you mean?" Hearing the firmness in her words, Qin Gengxin's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"My meaning is very clear." Xian Guiying gently took off the ring she was wearing a few days ago because of Mrs. Qin's words and placed it on the contract on the table.
"From other women to Kelsey, from her to Jiang Ruolan and to Bai Nuying. My brain has been in the water for 11 years, and now that the water has completely receded, I have made the most appropriate choice of my life."
As she said that, she suddenly smiled, "I'm only twenty-nine years old, I'm not old yet! After eleven years of blindness, it was time for me to wash my eyes and find someone who knew how to warm my future life."
Qin Gengxin wordlessly turned around, but his brows furrowed as he looked at the gradually changing clouds on the horizon. He then looked back and said seriously, "I will not part with you. I missed Qianqian's life for two years, and I don't want to deprive her of fatherly love. Our lives are still the same, don't even think about getting a divorce!"
Xian Guiying's calm eyes looked into his deep dark eyes. "Qin Gengxin, did you even love me? Even if it's just for a moment."
His gaze did not change. He just stared into her eyes but didn't reply.
There was no rejection, no recognition.
She stepped forward and leaned into his arms. She hugged his waist and put her ear to his chest, hearing his heartbeat.
Xian Guiying closed her eyes and listened to the beat. When Qin Gengxin finally raised his hand and placed it gently on her shoulder, the tears that were pooled in her eyes slowly fell.
She looked at his empty ring finger and let the tears fall to the ground. Then she raised her face with a smile and pulled away from his embrace.
"I'm tired. Even though I keep praising you in my heart, there are still days when I'm tired. Moreover, I've been chasing you for eleven years."
Xian Guiying suddenly smiled brilliantly. "Did you know that when I saw you smiling at her from outside your office, watching how she's acting like a spoiled child, I actually didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache at all?"
"Was it because I don't love you anymore?"
With that, she laughed again, causing the wrinkles on Qin Gengxin's forehead to deepen.
"Qin Gengxin, I'm tired. I don't love you anymore. I'm giving up. So, goodbye." As she turned around, her gaze fell on the wedding ring. Then, with a slight indentation of her lips, she walked toward the elevator without looking back.
Xian Guiying knew Qin Gengxin would not chase after her. He hadn't in all these years, let alone now.
As soon as she stepped into the elevator and the door closed, Qin Gengxin, who stood by the table the whole time, turned his head to look at the contract and the ring on the table. He picked up the ring but suddenly raised his hand to cover his stomach.
Huang Jingguo had long since climbed to the roof, but he did not dare show his face. Seeing Xian Guiying leave, he ran from the safe path and walked towards Qin Gengxin as soon as he saw him already sitting at the table. "Boss!"
