Xian Guiying hurriedly walked out of the hotel with a quick step. The staff in the lobby looked at her figure with a strange expression as if they were wondering if something was going on in the room upstairs. Almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the woman who was walking out of the hotel as fast as the wind.
As soon as she walked out of Shangri-La Hotel, she didn't even look around. Xian Guiying immediately rushed down the hotel stairs, wanting to call a taxi to leave. However, when she reached the side of the road, she accidentally hit someone without realizing it.
The man stepped back. At the same time, Xian Guiying fell. The man initially wanted to keep moving backward, but when he saw her face, he was startled and quickly helped her. "Are you okay?"
Xian Guiying's mind fell apart just now. She was moving like a robot and just wanted to take a taxi and leave as quickly as possible. She didn't even know how she got out of the hotel.
"Miss!" The man quickly helped her and looked at her. "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Miss?"
Unconsciously, Xian Guiying shook her head. She raised her hand and pointed to the side of the road. "Help me call a taxi …"
The man looked at her and hesitated. It's already dark, so if he called a taxi randomly like this, it would only cause trouble if she encountered any unreliable drivers.
"How can you take a taxi in this condition? Do you need me to send you to the hospital? My car is nearby, I'll take you there."
"No need …" Xian Guiying shook her head. "I'm not going to the hospital..I want to go back …"
When the man saw that she was not completely conscious and could not move on her own, he simply held her hand with one hand, while the other helped her to walk to the side of a black car not far away.
He opened the car door and helped her get inside.
As Xian Guiying struggled not to enter the car, the man patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, I am not a bad person. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Xian Guiying. I just want to help you."
This person actually know her?
Then she definitely can't sit still! As CEO of Xian Enterprise, it's common for people with hidden motives to find an opportunity to help her.
Xian Guiying struggled again. The man smiled helplessly and pushed her into the car, then walked to the driver's seat. When he entered, he saw that she was already slumped in the passenger seat without any signs of struggling, as if she had already used up all her strength.
There was an indescribable coldness and sadness in her.
He looked down at the time, then looked at the hotel across the street before calling someone. After he was done with his conversation, he turned to see that Xian Guiying was leaning against the door with her eyes closed. She seemed to be asleep, but her fists clenched tightly as she placed them on her lap.
Just as the man was about to start the car and take her to the hospital, Xian Guiying suddenly straightened her back and touched his hand.
He turned to look at her. She was still leaning against the door with her eyes closed, but her hand was still pressing on his. She said in a very low voice, "Don't drive. I just want to sit here and rest for a while."
"But …"
"I'm fine, sorry to trouble you." She frowned, her voice still light.
Seeing that she was still conscious, the man looked at her before pulling his hand back. He opened the car window a crack so that she could breathe more comfortably. As per her request, he didn't start the car.
Xian Guiying then withdrew her hand and leaned against the car door, closing her eyes and remaining motionless.
She didn't shed a tear, but the man in the driver's seat looked at her hand and thought for a moment. Then, he took some tissue and inserted it into her hand to reduce the pain caused by her nails.
After about an hour, Xian Guiying's head was gently pushed back against the seat, but her eyes were still closed and her forehead was slightly furrowed. It was unknown whether she fell asleep or fainted.
The man just sat next to her and didn't move. After that, he called someone. Then he started the car and drove to another intersection.

Meanwhile, on Qin Gengxin's side…
Even after Xian Guiying left, he was still standing by the window, unmoving. He was able to tell that she was determined to divorce. However, because he was wrong, his original intention was to have a good talk with her. At the very least, if she insists on leaving, he can respect her wishes.
After all, he had hurt her deeply enough.
Lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from Huang Jingguo, he closed the curtain and went to answer the call.
"Hello? Boss! Are you in China now?" Huang Jingguo's voice sounded urgent.
"What's wrong?" When Qin Gengxin answered the phone, he caught a glance at the children's belongings on the couch.
Judging from the styles, there were boys' and girls' toys and he could guess that Xian Guiying had previously planned to go to Greenville Residence to see Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan's children.
"Oh my God!" Huang Jingguo shouted. "How many days have been since you underwent the operation? The doctor said that you could not leave the hospital for a week after surgery. You must rest in the hospital, and even if you leave the hospital, you must stay home to recover. You just finished the operation a few days ago, and I found out today that you booked a plane ticket and flew to China! Boss! Are you tired of living? The stitches of yours haven't been removed yet!"
"I can just find a random hospital in the country and remove the stitches. There's no need to make a big fuss." Qin Gengxin took the items from the couch and played with them.
Xian Guiying must have heard Bai Nuying calling him that day. She must have known that Bai Nuying chose the toys he bought for Qin Wenqian.
At that time, she had chosen to ignore it, not complaining at all.
How did she bear it?
"How many hours does it take to fly back from the United States to H City? Your wounds still haven't healed yet! If something happens to you when you are in flight, who will be responsible? Boss, I don't know what went wrong between you and Miss Xian and I can tell you are a little distracted these past few days, but I am concerned about you. I'm afraid that you will not be able to recover properly. Who would have thought that you would fly back to China in silence! Boss, you really wanted me to die early! Stop giving me too many heart attacks. I'm still young and have a wife and an unborn kid. I–"
On the other side, Huang Jingguo kept blabbering like a nagging old mother. Qin Gengxin threw his phone to the bed and let him continue nagging to the air. He put down what he was doing and walked back to the window.
Looking down, he saw that there was no trace of Xian Guiying in front of the hotel. There was only a steady flow of cars on the road.
After a while, he retrieved his cell phone. Huang Jingguo still hadn't stopped. He sighed and hung up the phone. After that, he called someone else. "Find out where Xian Guiying's hotel room is. Does my daughter have someone to take care of her? Send someone there to watch over her. Don't let anything happen to the child."
