Wei Zhengsheng originally wanted to go home with Xian Guiying tonight, but he suddenly disappeared in the afternoon. She only found out over the phone that he was back to bring Qin Wenqian to the park.
Around 11 p.m, Xian Guiying closed the store and left Square Street. She was about to walk towards the district, but she remembered that she had run out of stuff at home, so she went to a nearby supermarket. Then Qin Gengxin suddenly appeared in front of her out of nowhere.
Her footsteps immediately paused as she looked at the man who was staring at her. Xian Guiying immediately walked past him with an expressionless face. However, Qin Gengxin suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Qin Gengxin, what are you doing? Let go."
"Come with me." Not only did he not let go, but he also forced her to follow him, yanking her hands hard, causing her to lose her balance and almost slam into his chest.
Xian Guiying braced herself and looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing? My daughter is still waiting for me at home. Can you stop bothering me?"
Before she could finish her sentences, Qin Gengxin pushed open the bar's door nearer the supermarket and went inside with her. The bar owner came to greet him, and Qin Gengxin immediately took out his wallet and threw it into the owner's arms.
He walked straight to the back of the bar and said, "Clear up the people in the back, I want the place."
Xian Guiying staggered as she couldn't follow in his quick footsteps.
She looked down, not wanting to be recognized by the bar owner. After all, she lived here for a year, and this city wasn't big and everyone knew each other.
"Qin Gengxin! What are you doing?!" Xian Guiying said angrily as she tried to free her hand from his.
Qin Gengxin said nothing as he walked through the back of the bar. The most crowded place became empty in the blink of eye. The customers cursed as they walked outside, looking at them with doubt.
"Qin Gengxin!"
As everyone left, the owner pointed to the most hidden room politely, thinking that Qin Gengxin was looking for a "comfortable" place. After Qin Gengxin took Xian Guiying into the room, the grip on her hand loosened slightly, and Xian Guiying forcibly yanked her hand away.
The door was closed by the owner. Xian Guiying angrily looked at the door, then looked around the room that was less than 20 square meters. She frowned and decided to leave.
"Xian Guiying, I know exactly how much I owe you. I also said that even if you wanted me to die, you have to let me die in a way that I understand! What had happened a year ago? Did my grandmother tell you something? Or had something else happened that I didn't know about? Even if you don't want to talk about it, at least let me know the whole truth before the divorce starts!" Qin Gengxin forcefully turned her around, making her face him.
After all, he understood her very well. There's no way he didn't understand her personality after twelve years of interacting.
She's upset and angry, but he knew she was a really reasonable woman. She'll be more rational than everyone else in making decisions.
"I just found out from your brother that my grandmother went to H City." He said.
This was something new to Xian Guiying. She didn't know about his grandmother's visit to H City. She froze then slowly looked up at him.
There was a small couch in the room, but big enough for two people. There was a marble coffee table on the other side, and in the corner, there was a small LCD TV.
Qin Gengxin sat on the couch, picked up the microphone on the coffee table, put it to his mouth, and blew it up before saying, "Guiying, the easiest way to separate the relationship between couples is a misunderstanding. I never felt that there was a misunderstanding between us, but I can't think of anything else that could force you into such a situation to make you hate me to such an extent."
With a microphone in his hand, his voice came out of the stereo. Qin Gengxin continued to play with the microphone, "From Jiang Ruolan to Kelsey to Bai Nuying. You said to me that you had had enough, but have you ever asked how I feel?"
"Xian Guiying, not a single person in the world is not selfish. We're all selfish. I admit that I'm selfish, but what about you?" He looked at her, his voice echoing in the stereo.
Xian Guiying remained standing in her place, looking at him silently.
Qin Gengxin had always been an unruly person, and he had long been used to this kind of situation. However, he had never been so casual in front of her while holding the microphone, half-playing and half-serious.
However, the way he held the microphone made her suddenly unable to move her legs as she gritted her teeth with the same expression of hatred.
Yes, they were all selfish.
If she hadn't been selfish enough, that night probably wouldn't have happened, and Qin Wenqian wasn't even born. If these things hadn't happened, there wouldn't have been so much loved and hated between them.
If he weren't selfish enough, he wouldn't have come to this stage after letting go of Jiang Ruolan and being 'used' by his wife, ignoring the cherishment and the love he had for Xian Guiying that had always been hidden in his heart.
So what was she really hating in this relative selfishness?
Hate that he was rolling in the sheets with other women while Qin Wenqian was in a death bed?
Or did she hate that when her daughter's death certificate was just made up, his grandmother found her and told her to stay away from her grandson? Tell her to scram further away and not appear in the Qin Family again?
"Xian Guiying, let's talk. After that, if you're still planning to divorce and marry Wei Zhengsheng, then even if I, Qin Gengxin, were bleeding into death, I won't complain at all. I definitely won't stop you."
Qin Gengxin was still holding the microphone and didn't look at it. His black eyes stared at the television screen in the corner, "A year ago, if I knew that Qianqian was in critical condition, even if I were lying on the operating table, I would rush to the hospital to accompany you and my daughter, regardless of my life."
"I, Qin Gengxin, am certainly not a good person, but I am not a bastard! What kind of person am I? As someone who has loved me for years, do you really not understand? Or were you blinded by fear at that time, making you unable to see everything clearly?"
He looked at her indifferently.
Xian Guiying suddenly remembered the blood she saw under the chair at the police station.
She looked at him, stunned. "What do you mean by lying on the operating table?"
Qin Gengxin's fighting skills were always good and the burly guy couldn't hurt him much no matter what.
Qin Gengxin closed his eyes. "I underwent surgery and when I found out that you brought our daughter back to China, I went after you without removing the stitches."
