Mrs. Qin did not say anything, she just lowered her head to look at the time and lightly said, "Let's not talk about this. Xian Guiying, Qianqian must live in the Qin Family. I won't be here for long, just in case Gengxin is concerned that I'll do something to you. Really, what can I do to you? He cares so much about you even though you're like this. Xian Guiying, your heart is truly made of wolves' hearts and dog lungs."
With that, Mrs. Qin stood up and walked out of the ward.
Xian Guiying just stared at the retreating figure of Mrs. Qin. Her eyes were clear.

Qin Gengxin and Wei Zhengsheng sat in a small restaurant near the hospital and ordered two cans of beer. After drinking a can of beer, Qin Gengxin looked towards the hospital with a dark expression on his face.
Wei Zhengsheng nodded and thanked the waiter, but he didn't drink the beer. Instead, he pushed the beer can to the side and asked the waiter to bring him a glass of plain water.
Seeing him drinking plain water, Qin Gengxin sneered, "You really have been completely infected by Xian Zihao."
Wei Zhengsheng smirked. "We like the same thing."
Ignoring him, Qin Gengxin drank his own beer and then leaned back in his chair, not saying a word.
When Wei Zhengsheng looked at him and was about to ask something, Qin Gengxin said lightly, "I will return to the United States tomorrow."
Wei Zhengsheng looked at him in surprise. "Tomorrow?"
He clearly didn't expect Qin Gengxin would give up so quickly.
"Don't be too happy. I'm going back to the United States because the company needs me now." Qin Gengxin didn't give him the slightest bit of face. "Before I leave, I will entrust my wife and my daughter to you. Also, I will remind you that she and I are not divorced. You better know your limits."
Wei Zhengsheng smiled helplessly. "You've said the warning more than once. If I really want to do something, I'm afraid you can't stop me. You're far away in the United States."
Qin Gengxin scoffed as he looked towards the hospital again. He was silent for a long time.
Apparently there's something in his mind.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Did something happen there?"
Qin Gengxin didn't say anything. He just opened another beer next to him and took a sip. He raised his hand to wipe the remaining beer from his mouth and smiled. "What? If there is something really happening, are you going to help me? Heh. After leaving for so long, I must definitely return to settle some contracts that I have to sign personally. It's not like you don't understand our job. A company can't be functioning without their CEO for a long time."
Just as he was about to take another sip, Wei Zhengsheng held his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. You don't look too good."
Qin Gengxin smiled and pushed his hand away. He looked down and didn't say anything for a while. After so long, he finally said in a rather hoarse voice, "It's not fair that you can take care of my wife and daughter, but Wei Zhengsheng, I'm indebted to you."
With that, he got up to pay the bill.
Wei Zhengsheng stared at Qin Gengxin's back as he went to pay the bill. He then looked at the beer cans in front of him.

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Gengxin appeared in Xian Guiying's ward. She was leaning on the bed while rubbing her temples to relieve the headache. When she saw him, her hands stopped moving.
Qin Gengxin walked over and looked at her. They both looked at each other before Xian Guiying looked behind him, at the door. "Where is Wei Zhengsheng?"
As soon as he entered, the first thing she asked was about Wei Zhengsheng. Xian Guiying never really thought to hurt Qin Gengxin. If she really wanted to hurt him, then her killing power would be 100%.
"You no longer need to go to H City Court." He stood next to the bed and looked at her. "I signed the divorce agreement."
Xian Guiying just stared at him, her expression unchanged.
Seeing that she was so calm, Qin Gengxin curled his lips and stroked the strands of hair on her forehead with his fingers gently. "I owe you a lot in this life. If you can forgive my past mistakes, that would be great. If you continue to hate me to the bone for the rest of your life, unwilling to have anything to do with me, then I'll wait for my next life to repay you."
His hand gently rubbed her forehead. Xian Guiying just looked at him. She should have avoided it, but his eyes were very sincere and calm.
She frowned slightly. "Qin Gengxin."
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay?" Xian Guiying hesitated for a moment before looking at him. "Since you signed the divorce agreement, then Qianqian's custody rights …"
"It's yours." He lowered his hand and smiled at her. "My mom won't bother you anymore. So, you can rest assured."

Ten minutes after Qin Gengxin left, Wei Zhengsheng entered the ward and saw Xian Guiying sitting on the bed, lost in her thoughts.
He walked over and called her name. "Guiying?"
"Guiying!"
Xian Guiying snapped out of her daze and raised her head to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Wei Zhengsheng looked at her worriedly. "What are you thinking about?"
She looked at him blankly and said, "Qin Gengxin said he signed the divorce agreement."
The care and anxiousness in Wei Zhengsheng's eyes faded a little, and there was also a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"He also said that Qianqian was mine and he didn't want to fight with me for custody of his child." Xian Guiying looked at him. "Am I dreaming? Or is everything that's happened all this time just my imagination? How did he suddenly become like this? With his personality, it's impossible for him to let go of it. I'm a little confused. Zhengsheng, do you think I'm thinking too much about it?"
Wei Zhengsheng frowned. He remembered what Qin Gengxin said at the restaurant and his state of mind. He immediately walked out.
He called Qin Gengxin with his phone, but he couldn't get through. Wei Zhengsheng always felt there was something wrong with Qin Gengxin today, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Qin Gengxin was always unruly, with almost nothing that could shock him (Wei Zhengsheng).
If nothing happened, how could he say that? How could Qin Gengxin entrust his wife and daughter to Wei Zhengsheng and that he would sign the divorce agreement?
No. He must have signed the divorce agreement before he came to the hospital.
Qin Gengxin's phone could not be reached. Since Wei Zhengsheng didn't know what was going on, he suddenly thought of Qin Wenqian. To avoid an unpredictable situation, he left the hospital and went straight to kindergarten.
When he arrived at the kindergarten, the kindergarten teacher said that Qin Gengxin had just left, but he didn't take Qin Wenqian. He just looked at her through the window.
When he rushed back to Xian Guiying's residence, the opposite door was shut tightly, and there's no sign of anyone returning.
While Wei Zhengsheng was on his way back to the hospital, he got a call from the company.
"President Wei, I heard that some big projects in Qin Corporation have been pulled out and that the biggest investor, Bai Group, has made some movements behind their backs. The banks have heard the commotion and they have already begun to collect their debts. Today, someone has already taken away some of Qin Corporations' subsidiary companies, as well as the properties under their name."
He put down the phone and looked at the scenery in front of him blankly. No one knows what he was thinking about.

Wei Zhengsheng opened the ward door and saw Xian Guiying standing by the window. The sun was setting outside the window, and she seemed to have been standing there for a long time.
"Did something happen to Qin Corporation?" She asked softly.
Wei Zhengsheng entered. "You know about it?"
"Secretary Dai just called me. Even though I have resigned, I still have some shares in Xian Enterprise." Xian Guiying looked out the window and said, "If Qin Corporation faces a crisis that they can't handle and face bankruptcy, since I am Qin Gengxin's legal wife, Xian Enterprise will be affected more or less." Her voice was soft.
Wei Zhengsheng didn't say anything and just looked at her.
"So, that's how it is. That's why he did that." Xian Guiying silently looked towards the sunset, her voice was calm and tinged with a soft sigh.
