Qin Gengxin received a call from Mrs. Qin on his way home.
As he walked up the stairs, he saw Qin Wenqian was standing by the wall in the dark corridor.
Seeing Qin Gengxin walking towards her, she turned her back on him.
"Qianqian, you don't know grandma anymore? Come inside quickly with grandma. It's freezing outside, I don't want you to catch a fever." Mrs. Qin squatted next to Qin Wenqian and said patiently.
The child did not respond. Without a word, she leaned against the wall and looked down.
"What is happening?" Qin Gengxin asked.
Mrs. Qin sighed, "I'm not too sure either. Why didn't you tell me that Qianqian lived in the opposite house? This child, since she was born, as her grandmother, I didn't get a chance to love her. Look at her. She's not friendly with me at all. After all, I am her blood grandmother."
Nanny Yuan came out and looked at him before hurriedly saying, "Mr. Qin, the nanny opposite us, said that this child's mother has something to do today and can't come back, but she (Nanny Zhang) also has something urgent to do and needs to leave for two hours. Because I frequently sent candy to this child and this nanny already knew me, she was concerned that something would happen to the child after leaving her alone in the house for so long, so she asked me to look after her, but when the child saw Mrs. Qin, she ran out and refused to enter the house. The nanny is already gone and I don't dare to make any decisions. That's why I'm calling you back. I see that you really care about this child. Could you please…"
A moment ago, when Mrs. Qin said that she was the grandmother of a child, Nanny Yuan was already frightened. She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't dare ask too much. As Qin Gengxin walked up the last flight of stairs, she closed her mouth.
"Qianqian, can you talk to grandmother for a moment? Don't ignore grandma, grandma would be sad."
No matter how bad the relationship with her mother, the child was still a close relative. Mrs. Qin became even more agitated when she saw how much Qin Wenqian didn't recognize her. She raised her hand to hold the child's shoulder and asked, "Qingqing, do you want to go home with grandmother?"
"Mom, you go inside first." Qin Gengxin said as he walked closer.
Mrs. Qin raised her eyes and looked at him. "What's wrong with this child? Why won't she talk to me?"
"Go inside first."
Mrs. Qin could not bear to let the child go, but Qin Wenqian just stood there indifferently, not caring about anything else. She clearly didn't wear much, and now that the temperature in the corridors was so cold, she stubbornly leaned against the wall and refused to leave the door of her house.
Mrs. Qin sighed and stood up. "I really don't understand you guys!"
She then walked inside Qin Gengxin's house.
Qin Wenqian stood alone against the door of her house. When Qin Gengxin walked to her side, she did not respond. Instead, she just stubbornly looked at the big words of blessing taped to the door, as if she were waiting for something.
"Qianqian." Qin Gengxin stretched out his hand to caress his daughter's head. With soft hair on his palms, it made his palms feel hot. He slid his hand over her shoulder. "Aren't you cold?"
Qin Wenqian ignored him, but her body twisted in resistance as she told him to take his hand away.
Qin Gengxin put his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Come inside with daddy."
Qin Wenqian continued to ignore him as she stared at the door with an indifferent expression, as if she could not hear his voice and could not feel his presence.
This girl was indeed following Xian Guiying's behavior.
Qin Gengxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of her childish appearance. He stroked her head, put his arm around her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. "It's so cold outside, if you have a fever, mommy must be worried, right?"
"I don't want to go inside." Qin Wenqian angrily stepped back and leaned against the wall. "I don't know you!"
Qin Gengxin laughed instead of getting angry. He pinched the spoiled girl's nose lightly and said, "Spoiled girl, you like to show off like your mother. It's so cold that you are shivering right now. Why are you still leaning against the wall?"
Qin Wenqian twisted her body and shook his hand. Her sharp and small voice was unhappily saying, "You stinky man! Don't talk to me! Don't touch me!"
Qin Gengxin laughed and crouched in front of her before he asked, "Then what if daddy insists on talking to you?"
However, the child was only a child. She stared at him in distress, and when she saw him smiling at her, she looked away with a cold expression, refusing to look at him.
Qin Gengxin was amused by her actions and pulled her from the wall. Seeing that her back was covered with dust, he helplessly looked at the little girl, whose face was also covered with dust. "Qianqian, daddy knows that you're mad at me, but daddy will never hurt you. Even if you don't know me, don't freeze yourself."
Qin Wenqian's small hand held her skirt tightly, her expression full of determination. "Mommy says I can't talk to strangers and follow him. So, just leave."
"Am I a stranger?" Qin Gengxin smiled as he looked at Qin Wenqian. Even though he had too many complicated feelings in his heart, he was still calm and happy at this point.
His daughter was smart and wise, just like her mother.
Seeing a pair of big eyes blinking, he truly regretted missing her life for so long.
"I don't know you, you are a stranger!" Qin Wenqian looked at him. "From now on, don't talk to me!"
Qin Gengxin raised an eyebrow and smiled as he immediately sat down on the floor next to her. He said, "Well, then it's your turn to talk to me. Qianqian, do you really like Uncle Wei?"
Qin Wenqian had a strange expression on her face as she looked at him,
Qin Gengxin smiled and looked at her, "Daddy asked you, do you really like Uncle Wei?"
Qin Wenqian thought for a moment. Finally, she was no longer stingy with her words. She only said one word, "Yes."
Qin Gengxin smirked. "Then, do you want mommy and daddy to be with you, or do you want to be with Uncle Wei?"
Qin Wenqian didn't say anything but just looked at him with wide eyes.
