Xian Guiying's body was exhausted, and she really didn't want to cook breakfast for herself. She decided to change her clothes, and as she changed the clothes, she said to Qin Gengxin, who was in the living room. "What exactly happened between you and Bai Nuying? What has caused Mrs. Bai to suddenly take revenge on you?"
"What do you think?" He asked a question instead of answering her from the outside.
"What do I think? How should I know? Bai Nuying has always liked you. She didn't care whether you were married or not and always insisted on being with you. Indeed, in this kind of world, even if one were to marry, they could still leave. Many women who wish to ruin others' marriages have this kind of thought, thinking that their love is not against the law. They do not want to sacrifice their love, so they have to sacrifice someone else's family."
"She knows that Qianqian is our daughter."
Xian Guiying immediately became silent. After she changed her clothes, she pushed open the door and walked out, looking at Qin Gengxin, who had just returned from the study with a document in his hand.
Looking at his face, which was still as handsome as before, she thought to herself. When Bai Nuying found out that the man who she loved so much not only had a wife but also had a child, she must be very sad.
Xian Guiying then said, "Then she seems to have a conscience and won't bother you anymore."
"Who knows if she's still planning on pestering me again or not. She was locked in her house by her mother and won't be able to go out. Mrs. Bai was afraid that she would plead on my behalf." Qin Gengxin suddenly remembered the last time Bai Nuying calling him. He had asked her what she had said to Xian Guiying on the phone when Qianqian was dying.
Qin Gengxin's gaze suddenly fell on Xian Guiying's face as he thought of the words Bai Nuying had said.
Xian Guiying was just about to make a call and ordered for takeout when Qin Gengxin suddenly said, "Don't order for takeout."
She turned around, puzzled, only to see him looking at the time.
"It's almost noon. Let's go to your place and buy Qianqian some delicious food. There is also Xian Zihao. He still has a lot of things to do in China. This is our family affair. Even if he is your brother, there is no need for you to bother him too much."
Qin Gengxin walked over and put her arm around Xian Guiying's shoulder. "Huang Jingguo's wife has brought their son to see him at work these last two years."
Xian Guiying didn't understand his sudden change in topic, so she looked at him quietly. She heard him say, "I saw a little boy grow up, watched him learn to call his parents 'mom and dad', watched him learn to walk, watched him hug his mother's neck, and said that he would protect her when he grows up."
Xian Guiying's eyes showed some emotion as she listened to him. "Guiying, I really missed a lot of good things between you and Qianqian. I don't want to be left behind and I don't want to make mistakes anymore. Give me a chance, okay?"
She put her arms around his waist and leaned into his embrace. She looked up at him and said, "I thought you would never want to know how Qianqian would grow up. It seems like Huang Jingguo has done a lot of good!"
Qin Gengxin smiled and pecked on her lips. "Indeed, the boy is very smart. He even told you about my whereabouts in Royale Nightclub."
"So you knew?"
"At first I didn't know, but I guessed it. Then he told me about it on the phone."
Then Qin Gengxin suddenly kissed her ear and whispered in it, "Why don't we have another child and let me have a taste of being a father to a newborn baby?"
The smile in Xian Guiying's eyes gradually faded as she directly replied, "No."
Qin Gengxin froze, looking at her expression.
Xian Guiying raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, "Qianqian's health is not good. If I had another child, I would definitely spend my time taking care of the baby. I don't want her to feel sad and I don't want to give only half my love to her. Her body is too weak and as long as she doesn't reach the age of six, I won't dare think of anything else."
Qin Gengxin looked at her for a long time. He didn't say yes or say no. He only patted her back in a comforting manner. "Qianqian will grow up healthy and fine. Whether we still have children or not, that won't affect her. She's our treasure forever, hmm?"
He kissed her forehead lightly, "I am too anxious and wanted to make it up to you, but I neglected your protection of Qianqian. But Guiying, she is also my daughter, so my love for her is above all else."
Xian Guiying nodded. "I know. I may be too extreme, but Qianqian-"
"I understand." He held her and didn't let her continue. He already understood what she was trying to say.

In hypermarkets located in the city center, Xian Guiying occasionally glanced at Qin Gengxin, who was pushing a shopping cart while she picking out Qianqian's favorite snack.
It had been more than twelve years and they finally had such a warm relationship. This made Xian Guiying feel like this wasn't real, like she was dreaming, but she could see Qin Gengxin behind her every time she turned around.
Finally, when Xian Guiying turned around for the fifth time, Qin Gengxin noticed it and smiled, but he did not expose her. Actually, no matter how mature a person's heart was, they would always be cautious when it came to relationships.
Loving someone and accepting someone was not that easy either.
"What are you laughing at?" Xian Guiying held a box of potato chips in her hand, considering whether she should buy them for Qianqian as well. After that, she turned around and saw him smile. "Are you sure your body is all right? Before we leave, your temperature is 37 degrees. Even if you don't have a very high fever, the temperature is a few degrees warmer than a normal adult. You need to go to the hospital for a check-up once more. If the doctor is convinced that your infection is gone, then we will go to see Qianqian."
Xian Guiying was always so careful when it came to her daughter. Qin Gengxin didn't know how small a woman's heart would be when she became a mother.
"Alright, let's go to the hospital first." Qin Gengxin was also afraid that he would infect the child. He was a grown-up man and even if he had a high fever, he still could endure it, but the child can't.
Seeing how obedient he was now, Xian Guiying couldn't help but take another glance at him. She stuffed the potato chips into the shopping cart before continuing on her way.
When she reached the yogurt cabinet, she hesitated which yogurt she should buy. When she turned around, she saw Qin Gengxin looking at a shelf of children's toys.
Xian Guiying pulled out a box of yogurt, looking at the nutrition list on it.
"Kids can't always drink yogurt. These things can't replenish the water in their body and their resistance will be greatly reduced."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other side. Xian Guiying raised her head and saw Wei Shanyuan, whom she hadn't seen for a while, standing on the other side of the yogurt cabinet with a new towel and some new daily necessities.
