Four days later.
"Ying Ying, aren't we here for the handsome Qin guy that you've loved for years? Why don't I see him with you these few days when we go to Likeng Village and Rainbow Bridge? Now we're going to Dazhang mountain, why doesn't he still want to go with us?"
As she sipped her milk tea, Zou Mingxia inquired.
Bai Nuying had intended to ask Qin Gengxin to accompany her on that day, but she had been rebuffed, and it made her attempt for him to fall in love with her even more difficult because he seemed to suspect the occurrence a year before. She didn't want to bother him, so she and Zou Mingxia went to Likeng Village the next day to play.
Qin Gengxin's phone was turned off when she tried to call him today. She didn't know which floor he actually lived on that residential complex because it would make him suspicious towards her if she asked about it. She couldn't bother him right away. Otherwise, every time he saw her, he'd be reminded of what happened a year ago.
After she returned from Rainbow Bridge, she decided to wander around the ancient city. In the afternoon, she felt very bored and even grew bored with the snacks sold on the street because the same stuff was sold everywhere on the street. This Wuyuan City was different from what she imagined, and it's not as pretty as people say.
"Look, there's a group of old people dancing in the street. Aiya, the old people are wearing white clothes." Zou Mingxia walked in the direction excitedly.
Bai Nuying followed her without much interest. Zou Mingxia went to chat with the elders while she sat on a stone bench under a tree and sipped milk tea while staring blankly into the distance.
It was a weekend and the weather was good. There were more tourists in Wuyuan than usual, and the shouts and cheers from around were relentless. Then from the corner of her eyes, she saw a bundle of hats and scarves hanging in front of a knitwear shop. It looked very nice, more unique than those hung in many other knitwear shops. She got up and walked towards the store, but before she got there, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a fairly ordinary man walking out of the crowd.
Wei Zhengsheng and Qin Wenqian went to Xian Guiying's shop. He would chat with her from time to time and chuckle at the little girl's happy expression. The little girl happily replied to his question while nodding her head like a chick picking rice.
"Wei Zhengsheng?"
Bai Nuying looked at Wei Zhengsheng in astonishment. When she saw him walk towards her, she immediately hid behind the tree and peeked.
Why was he here?
Wasn't he supposed to be in America?
Why did he and Qin Gengxin come to Wuyuan at the same time?
Could it be that Xian Guiying really lives in Wuyuan? If not, why were they all here?
As she wondered, her eyes went to the cute little girl. She was confused, and when she saw Xian Guiying walking out of the knitting shop smiling, she was even more confusing.
It can't be?
"Mommy!" Qin Wenqian ran towards Xian Guiying, laughing out loud as she jumped into her arms.
Bai Nuying was so shocked that she raised her hand to cover her mouth, then looked at Wei Zhengsheng's gentle face before looking at Xian Guiying. She didn't see the little girl's face, but she knew that girl was very cute.
This scene was like a happy family of three.
"Ying Ying, what are you doing? I thought I had lost you. What are you looking at?" Zou Mingxia patted Bai Nuying on her shoulder.
"Shh." Bai Nuying pushed the hand on her shoulder and pointed to Xian Guiying's direction. "Look at the child and the man. What do you think their relationship is?"
Zou Mingxia was stunned before turning to look in the direction. As Xian Guiying stood to greet the customers, the little girl immediately turned around and leaned on the man's arms.
Zou Mingxia pondered for a moment before saying, "It should be a father and daughter. Look at the man's smile, it is clear that the little girl in front of him is his daughter. Why do you ask?"
Bai Nuying didn't say anything. She just watched Wei Zhengsheng hug the little girl and then looked at Xian Guiying, who was busy greeting the customer.
"Eh? Bai Nuying, what are you going to do?"
Bai Nuying threw away the milk tea and ran away. Surprised, Zou Mingxia turned to chase after her.
Fifteen minutes later, Bai Nuying arrived on East Street outside the ancient city. Zou Mingxia looked towards the old residential area and walked over.
"Ying Ying, what are you doing?" Zou Mingxia noticed a change in her expression and was a little worried.
"I wasn't sure of this at first, but I am not the one who does a bad thing. I'm not a bad woman who ruined other people's marriages. I helped him get rid of women who ate grass behind his back!" Bai Nuying talked to herself as she walked to the residential area. Originally, she didn't smile much these days, but now she feels more relaxed.
"What were you saying, Ying Ying? I can't hear it."
Bai Nuying ran to the building where Qin Gengxin lived and saw him walking out of the building while making phone calls. She immediately ran towards him, smiling. "Brother Gengxin!"
"I want more. You can only come back once you deal with it. As for the two contracts, called Alex, and he will help you with the entire process. If there's anything to change, then tell me about it during the video conference in the afternoon."
After Qin Gengxin finished saying that, he hung up the phone and saw a happy expression on Bai Nuying's face.
"Brother Gengxin, is Assistant Huang in a hurry to take you back to the company?" Bai Nuying asked with a smile.
"There are two new projects that have just been agreed upon." He said lightly, then looked at her. "You still haven't left Wuyuan?"
"Ugh …" Bai Nuying went to hug Qin Gengxin's arm and said, "Brother Gengxin, I didn't think you would be wronged. You did the right thing by divorcing her. You can't control a woman like her, you should look for a woman who is suitable for you. Their three families are finally reunited here, what are you still doing here? Are we going back to America together?"
"What family of three?" Qin Gengxin pulled his arm away from her.
At first, Bai Nuying wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, she didn't know if what she saw just now was real or not. Seeing Qin Gengxin's slightly pale face, she did not dare say anything to provoke him, so she asked cautiously. "Brother Gengxin, why do you look so bad? Have you not slept well these few days, or are you ill?"
Qin Gengxin just glanced at the girl before saying, "You guys have been playing in Wuyuan for a long time, how long do you plan to stay here? I don't have much time for you, and your mother called me yesterday to ask me to take care of you, but Bai Nuying…"
He looked at her and said, "You're not a little kid anymore. Why do I need to take care of you?"
Bai Nuying froze for a moment, then laughed awkwardly. "I always like to be close with you. Indeed I am not a child anymore."
"Alright then, go back after you've had enough fun. I'll help you book a plane ticket." After saying that, Qin Gengxin picked up the phone again and wanted to call the airline.
"Brother Gengxin!" Bai Nuying frowned, grabbed his arm, and stole the phone in his hand. "You're not a man with a family now, even if I'm bothering you, you don't have to hide from me, right? What are you still doing here? Also don't push me away! I won't leave!'
Qin Gengxin didn't know what this was about, but he had no intention of hiding from her. He took his phone out of her hand and said, "I have something to do and there's a video conference to be held in the afternoon. If you don't want to leave, go play with your friend."
With that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Xian Guiying has a daughter with Wei Zhengsheng! Why are you still thinking about her?!" Bai Nuying suddenly shouted
