Did every word he said on their wedding night three years ago give her the tone to negotiate?
Xian Guiying just looked at Qin Gengxin with a cold smile. She didn't say much, but the cold smile in her eyes was deadly.
Qin Gengxin nodded. "I know you don't want to see me."
Xian Guiying sighed. "Qin Gengxin." She looked at him and said word by word, "Stop appearing in my life again."
"Don't you think that you are over your head? Xian Guiying, I can understand the hatred you have for me, but I still don't understand what exactly allowed you to be so heartless like this. Even if you wanted the divorce, you should at least let me know the real reason, right?"
Qin Gengxin put his hand on the door. "Something else happened, didn't it? There's no way you are so heartless to me like this just because I didn't show up in the hospital."
Xian Guiying looked at him, not saying a word.
"With your personality, even if it's for your child, you wouldn't ruthlessly take her away from me. After all, you still want your daughter to live in a healthy family, right? What exactly happened?" Qin Gengxin looked at her seriously. It was obvious that he was certain something had happened that he didn't know about.
However, Xian Guiying just smiled.
What happened?
Did he really not know or pretend not to know?
"Qin Gengxin, wait for the notice from the City Court. We should not meet again until the divorce has been finalized." After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
As soon as the door closed, the light source in the living room was blocked, and in a split second, the corridor turned dark again.
"Mommy." Qin Wenqian came out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes. She wore cute Spongebob pajamas and walked towards Xian Guiying in confusion. "What are you doing?"
Xian Guiying was stunned for a moment. Seeing her daughter walking out, she immediately put down the bag and quickly picked her up, "Why are you awake? Did mommy wake you up?"
"No, I want to pee." Qin Wenqian pouted, her expression clearly showing that she was trying to hold back her bladder.
Xian Guiying then felt relieved. At first, she thought the child heard Qin Gengxin's voice. She patted her daughter's back and carried her to the bathroom. "Are you going to go to the bathroom yourself or do you want mommy to help?"
"I will take off my own pants, I won't need mommy's help. The kindergarten teacher has taught me ~" Qin Wenqian said as she was being put to the ground.
Xian Guiying smiled and left the bathroom.
She then thought about the thrilling scene in the corridor just now. Although she knew some modest self-defense skills, it was sometimes useless when facing someone with a knife. If she had not feared for her daughter's safety, she wouldn't have been so tied up and didn't dare to move.
In fact, if it weren't for Qin Gengxin walking downstairs, the robber might not have run away.
"Mr. Qin …" The middle-aged woman walked out. She had just heard the commotion in the corridor but did not dare to go out, so she just stood by the door and eavesdropped.
In the end, she heard Qin Gengxin's voice, and when everything was clear, did the woman opened the door and walked outside.
She saw Qin Gengxin standing in front of the door of the neighbor's house with one hand in his pants pocket, deep in thought.
"Mr. Qin, it's late, what are you still doing outside? Come in, the night weather is very cold."
Qin Gengxin slowly raised his finger to his mouth, indicating that the middle-aged woman should be silent. The woman closed her mouth and went back inside. Still, she left the door crack to avoid the corridor becoming too dark.
Xian Guiying usually taught her daughter to be independent and Qin Wenqian rarely slept in her arms. But that night, she really wanted to hug her daughter, so Qin Wenqian slept soundly in her mother's arms.
The next morning, Xian Guiying prepared to send her daughter to kindergarten. After having breakfast with the child, she put on a thin coat on her and then pulled the little girl along as she pushed open the door.
When she opened the door, she immediately saw a tall and thin figure standing in front of her, causing her hands to stiffened. Because Qin Wenqian was behind Xian Guiying, she couldn't see her father.
Xian Guiying subconsciously wanted to close the door.
Qin Gengxin's gaze hurriedly fell to her body. His shoulders appeared to be covered with a layer of wet morning frost, as Wuyuan was very cold in the morning. It was clear that he had been standing here all night.
Just when Xian Guiying was about to pull her daughter away, his gaze had already landed on the little girl, who was beside her legs.
Qin Wenqian tilted her head. She didn't see anyone outside the door. When she saw her mother pushing her back, she instinctively turned her head to look in the direction her mother was looking. When she saw Gengxin's face, she blinked in confusion.
"Mommy, is this uncle looking for you?" Qin Wenqian asked with a smile.
The word "uncle" caused Qin Gengxin, who didn't want to scare his daughter, to freeze.
Xian Guiying initially planned to close the door, but since Qin Wenqian had already seen him, even if the door were closed, the little girl would ask a lot of questions.
Qin Wenqian immediately looked at Qin Gengxin with a smile, "Uncle, my mother wants to send me to kindergarten. We can't get out while you're standing in the doorway!"
Xian Guiying didn't look at Qin Gengxin even when she felt his gaze on her. Instead, she held Qin Wenqian's school bag in another hand, pushed Qin Gengxin away and closed the door, walking away with her daughter.
"She doesn't remember me?" Qin Gengxin was still standing in the same place, not moving. He spoke in a low, deep, slightly hoarse voice.
Xian Guiying only paused for a moment before leading her daughter down the stairs.
Qin Wenqian blinked as she looked behind her and waved her hand. "Goodbye, uncle!"
Xian Guiying remained silent and bent down to pick up her daughter.
Just as she was about to pick up her daughter, Qin Gengxin immediately walked over and said softly, "Qianqian."
Qin Wenqian didn't expect this 'uncle' to know her name. She giggled and bared her white teeth. "Uncle, do you know me?"
"Qianqian, it's me, your daddy." Qin Gengxin suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was gone in the blink of an eye. He could only hold back for a moment to let his daughter feel the warmth of his smile as he raised his hand to touch her head.
The word "daddy" instantly filled Qin Wenqian's smiling eyes with fear. When his hand was about to touch her head, she backed away and hid next to Xian Guiying's leg. Her eyes turned red and she called out in a low voice, "Mommy."
Knowing that her daughter would act like this when she heard the words' daddy', Xian Guiying stood in place and looked coldly at the confused Qin Gengxin.
"Mommy!" Seeing that her mother ignored her, Qin Wenqian suddenly cried while hugging her legs.
"Qianqian." Qin Wenqian's scared expression startled Qin Gengxin. He wanted to hug his daughter, but Xian Guiying immediately brought her daughter to her arms and patted her daughter's back gently as she walked away.
"Guiying!" Qin Gengxin frowned slightly and grabbed her arm. "What exactly happened? Why doesn't she recognize me?"
