Xian Guiying's hand stopped for a moment as she was about to cut the vegetables. She turned around, unable to understand what Wei Shanyuan meant. Later, she saw her daughter carrying a medical box that she usually used to treat her daughter and only then she roughly understood what Wei Shanyuan meant.
She smiled but said nothing.
When Wei Shanyuan and Qin Wenqian went to wash their hands and returned, Xian Guiying said while preparing the chopsticks, "I heard that everyone who studies medicine needs to study for years, that's why I never chose this field when I was in University. It wasn't until I gave birth to Qianqian, I regret not studying it. Even though I have this medical box prepared at home, I still didn't know anything about it. I only learned some simple family treatment. Every time Qianqian is not feeling well, I will immediately examine her and send her to the hospital. Actually, these are all things I can easily do with myself. When I am too busy in America, other than sometimes accompanying my daughter and taking her to bed, I don't even have time to do this."
She looked up and smiled at Wei Shanyuan. "But now, every time she is in bad condition, she will be sent to the hospital on time, so in the past year, apart from the severe fever she had a few months ago, she hadn't had a serious illness or been in any particularly uncomfortable condition. I'm also not sure whether it was because I found out early every time there was a problem, or because heaven really liked me, but since I came to Wuyuan, Qianqian's body has improved."
"She had just recovered from a serious illness, but her mental state seems to be quite good. Otherwise, I would not agree to let you take the child and leave just like that." Wei Shanyuan nodded. "Actually, in medicine, there are many things that cannot be explained or unknown. Like this world, there are many concepts that cannot be fully learned and accepted by people, just like Qianqian's disease. She went through the gates of hell just like that and maybe after a battle of life and death, some organs in her body gradually recovered. At the same time, she also became healthier than before, but you still have to go to the big hospital to check her out. Wuyuan is only a tourist and leisure city, its medical facilities are not good."
"I take her to the hospital in the provincial capital every half month. Don't worry, my daughter's health is my main priority. I won't take it lightly." Xian Guiying smiled at her daughter.
When Qin Wenqian saw her mother looking at her, she took back her hand that was about to grab the vegetable. She stuck out her tongue and giggled, obediently grabbing the spoon next to her.
Xian Guiying looked at Wei Shanyuan and sighed. If only Wei Zhengsheng was here. He couldn't come here recklessly. One of the reasons was because he was busy, and the other was he was being watched by Qin Gengxin's men. He couldn't act in a hurry, lest reveal hisr whereabouts.
Wei Zhengsheng feared Qin Gengxin would approach Xian Guiying like a tiger hunting its prey, so he was cautious in everything he did.
Xian Guiying lives a peaceful life here, but even living in a place like this will not be able to mask the unique light radiating from her body. She's very tenacious, like a sunflower that will continuously bloom, even when its withers.

While Xian Guiying took the plates to the sink, Qin Wenqian sat next to Wei Shanyuan and ate the cut fruits one by one. Wei Shanyuan would occasionally say something that made the girl laugh non-stop.
On TV, there was a family show. The children in it were playing all sorts of games with their parents, and when Wei Shanyuan heard the children calling "dad", he paused, as if he remembered something, then picked up the remote control to switch the channels.
Qin Wenqian was also watching the show, but she was not sensitive to the word "dad". Even when Wei Shanyuan changed the channels, she just blinked and didn't object. Her head was lowered as she continued to eat the fruit with a toothpick.
While this may be a good thing …
Wei Shanyuan remembered that a year ago when Qin Wenqian was in danger, she kept calling her father.
A child this young may not understand anything, but wanting a father was necessarily an emotional thing.
Within a year, she had changed. Did she forget she had a father?
Just when Wei Shanyuan was staring at Qin Wenqian, Xian Guiying came out of the kitchen and asked him, "It's almost 11 pm. If you want to play with Qianqian, you can come back tomorrow."
If Xian Guiying didn't treat Wei Shanyuan as her friend, she wouldn't be chasing him out directly.
Wei Shanyuan immediately laughed. "Do you think I didn't have any shame and not leave? If Zhengsheng knew about this, he might have flown here directly."
Xian Guiying laughed. "Qiaqian usually sleeps earlier and it's very rare for anyone to visit her today. She's happy until she stays awake at this time. I have to persuade her to sleep later, or she will think her Uncle Yuan will stay here with her."
"If she wants me to accompany her, I'm willing to do it."
"I don't want it. There are a lot of people observing me in this district. Don't stay here and try to ruin my business." Xian Guiying smiled.
Wei Shanyuan first got up and smiled at Qin Wenqian. When she noticed him leave, her eyes flashed with a trace of gloominess.
"Qianqian, it's already late. Uncle Yuan needs to leave. If you like playing with him and want him to come here again, then you should sleep now. That's the only way for your body to be in good shape, alright?" Xian Guiying led her away from Wei Shanyuan, coaxing her to head to the bedroom.
Wei Shanyuan chuckled as he looked at the little girl, who was too sleepy to open her eyes, lying on Xian Guiying's shoulder while rubbing her eyes.
He followed from behind and leaned against the bedroom door. He watched Xian Guiying put Qin Wenqian on the bed and coax the child to sleep gently. Within a few minutes, Qin Wenqian finally fell asleep and Xian Guiying covered the child with a blanket.
Wei Shanyuan opened his mouth. "Did Qin Gengxin come to see you this year?"
Xian Guiying, who was tucking Qin Wenqian's hands in the blanket, froze a little.
