"By this time, my brother should already be on the plane." When they got home, Xian Guiying looked at the time.
Qin Gengxin carried Qin Wenqian, who was asleep on his shoulder, into the living room. He gently laid her on the couch, and after hearing Xian Guiying mention Xian Zihao, he glanced at her. "He also suggested that you go home?"
Xian Guiying just looked back at him.
Probably, everyone had a knot in their heart. The knot in Xian Guiying's heart had been planted since she was young and cannot be untied.
"I will accompany you back," he said.
Xian Guiying was silent for a moment before she said, "The Old Man is sick. He is lying on the bed with half his body paralyzed. He is so old, I don't know how many more years he will last …"
Qin Gengxin initially planned to accompany her to go back to the Xian Family. Upon hearing her say so, he knew that she had agreed to return, so he walked over and put his arm around her shoulder. "Well, since we are sensible, we shouldn't argue with the Old Man. We should make him feel at ease, right?"
"Since when did you become so reasonable?" She glanced at him.
"When did I become unreasonable? Don't look at my appearance; just look at my inner self."
"Your inner self?" Xian Guiying glanced at him again with a skeptical look in her eyes.
When she saw him glancing at his lower body, Xian Guiying had to resist the urge to slap him. "I'm going to sleep with my daughter!"
However, Qin Gengxin hugged her tightly, preventing her from escaping. He whispered in her ear, "We will sleep together with our child."
Xian Guiying looked at him doubtfully, then saw Qin Gengxin walked to the couch and picked up the sleeping Qin Wenqin once more.
Qin Wenqian opened her eyes in a daze, looked at him once, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
Seeing him carry the child to the bedroom, Xian Guiying didn't object. She took a shower and then returned to the bedroom in her pajamas to find Qin Gengxin already lying on the bed. Qin Wenqian was sleeping in the middle of the bed, covered with a blanket.
With one hand stroking the child's head, Qin Gengxin watched the child sleeping soundly. His fingers caressing the child's face and hair from time to time.
Xian Guiying quietly walked over and said, "It's already late."
Qin Gengxin didn't move. He just stared at Qin Wenqian, who was sleeping. He patted her head lightly and sighed, "How did she grow up? When she was born, I only saw her pictures but couldn't tell who she looked like. She looks half like you and half like me."
"We are her parents; of course, she looks like us." Xian Guiying smiled as she laid on the other side of Qin Wenqian. She pressed her face against her hands and looked at Qin Gengxin. "Her clever little brain must be similar to yours. Even though she's young, she has a lot of clever ideas."
Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrow. "Are you saying that I have a lot of evil ideas?"
Xian Guiying chuckled, "Alright, take a quick shower and go to bed. Didn't you have an appointment with Huang Jingguo tomorrow? Coincidentally, I have to go to Xian Enterprise tomorrow as well."
Just as Qin Gengxin was about to take off his jacket and take a shower, he heard her words and immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned and glanced at her.
Seeing his expression, Xian Guiying knew that he didn't want her to interact with Wei Zhengsheng. She smiled and said, "You know about my relationship with Secretary Dai; she's been by my side all these years and is my good sister. Even though I no longer work at Xian Enterprise, I still have to visit her sometimes."
"Just ask her to come here." Qin Gengxin looked extremely unhappy. "You're not allowed to go!"
The corner of Xian Guiying's mouth twitched, "Actually, there's no need for me to avoid Wei Zhengsheng. No matter what, he …"
"No matter what, you are not allowed to go!" Qin Gengxin cast a sidelong glance at her. "Come with me to see Huang Jingguo tomorrow, don't think about leaving my sight."
Xian Guiying didn't answer his order. Instead, she threw the pillow to his face. Even when getting hit with the pillow, Qin Gengxin remained calm. He picked up the pillow on the floor, placed it gently on the bed so as not to wake the child, and then looked at her. "Even if you only go there to visit Secretary Dai, there is still the possibility of you meeting Wei Zhengsheng. From today onwards, I must be present every time you meet her."
"Qin Gengxin, you don't trust me?" Xian Guiying frowned. "If I had a relationship with Wei Zhengsheng, it would have happened a long time ago. Why should I stay with you?"
"I trust you." Qin Gengxin's voice gradually faded. "But I don't trust him."
Xian Guiying lay on the bed, saying nothing. She just stared at him, but Qin Gengxin didn't even look at her. He just went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Qin Gengxin took his time in the shower. Xian Guiying was so tired that she almost fell asleep, but when he came out and saw she was still awake, he knew that she was waiting for him.
With a sigh, he walked closer and sat on the side of the bed. He gently patted her back, then slid his hand onto her waist, holding her.
Xian Guiying looked at him over her shoulder. Qin Gengxin looked at her and said, "If you really want to go, then go."
She was stunned for a moment. She really can't see through this man's mood. Sometimes he was reasonable, and sometimes he wasn't.
"Actually, I just …"
"I know you want to go there to talk with Wei Zhengsheng face to face. With your personality, I know you feel guilty towards him. You delayed him for so many years and almost got married, but you shattered his hopes in the end. You feel sorry, but there's nothing you can do about it."
"How do you know?" Xian Guiying stared at him.
"I just know." Qin Gengxin smiled and rubbed her waist once more. "If you must go, then give me a call before you go there tomorrow."
However, Xian Guiying buried her head against her pillow and remained silent before she said, "I don't have to go. Let me think about it."
After hearing her words, the corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth lifted into a smile of satisfaction. He smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go." As he spoke, his smile became more sly.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Xian Guiying, on the other hand, was too sleepy to pay attention to his expression. She slapped away his hand that was on her waist. "Sleep first; we'll talk after we wake up."
"Okay ~" Qin Gengxin lay directly beside her, and the two of them squeezed into the left side of the bed.
"What are you doing?" Xian Guiying, who was hugged tightly by him, immediately asked. "You have to sleep on Qianqian's side. It's too crowded here!"
"I want to sleep with you two in my arms ~"
"You're going to make the child feel crowded."
Qin Gengxin looked at her, then looked at Qin Wenqian. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then kiss me. Kiss me, and I'll go sleep over there."
