Xian Guiying had a vague idea that he might just be putting on an act, but he was always so familiar with the women outside that it seemed like he had been hanging out with them for a long time, so she was no longer convinced.
"Guiying, you should be clear that it is not easy for someone to rise in a business circle, especially since Qin Corporation is based on the management and marketing system left by my father. So even though I grew up to be strong, there are still many weaknesses inside me. I need a lot of help from outside and I have to spend a lot of time pretending to be civil with those elites. But I assure you, although when I was eighteen, I was a bit of a bastard and slept with other women twice, all these years, after knowing you, I really haven't touched any of those women, not even once."
He slept with another woman only twice when he was eighteen years old?
How could Qin Gengxin not feel embarrassed at all when he uttered those words? According to one of her past conversations with Xian Zihao, he mentioned that Qin Gengxin had been fighting with one of the brothers from back then because of a woman. There were many women by his side and every day, there were many men looking for a fight with him.
Xian Guiying gave him a sidelong glance, but she believed that in the years since they had met, he had not touched any women at all, or else how could he have gotten rid of them so easily?
As for his teenage years, it seemed like she shouldn't care too much about them. After all, they hadn't met at that time.
When she was still in high school, she was pulled to a bar by a good sister and was almost kissed by a man. Luckily, one of her friends saved her, otherwise, she might not be her current self.
After thinking about it, she just asked, "You really haven't touched them?"
"There isn't one." Qin Gengxin seemed to regret his past actions. However, the next moment, Xian Guiying's faint smile made him feel more excited. He raised his eyebrow and looked at her. "You have to know, I'm not such a casual man!"
Xian Guiying was initially pleased with his honesty, but after hearing his words, she pushed him away and rolled her eyes. With "tsk", she got up and covered herself with a blanket again.
Qin Gengxin immediately smiled like a flower as he tried to grab her hand. "Guiying, come here, let's hug for a while ~"
"Can you stop being so cheap?" She glared at him. Her heart was uneased and she felt that everything was moving fast.
Still, Qin Gengxin laughed in a cheap and contented way. "So what if I'm cheap? I'm only shameless and cheap around you."
Seeing his arrogant expression, Xian Guiying just speechlessly got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom, into the bathroom to take a shower.
The water from the shower slowly ran over her body, and she saw faint red marks on her shoulders and elsewhere, all because of the intensity of what had just happened.
Xian Guiying stood there motionless as the hot steam around her rose.
What can not be obtained was always the best. Over the past decade, she had felt heartache, felt like dying, and planned to give up completely. However, in the end, she would still return to her starting point.
Wasn't it because she never got it that she was so reluctant to part with it?
But now that she's got it, why did she feel like she was out of place?
Xian Guiying rubbed her arms and body in a daze. She went to get a shower bottle and stared blankly in the corner of the bathroom for a very long time.
Why did she feel like she was missing something? Something else.
Once she was done with her shower, she opened the bathroom door and immediately saw Qin Gengxin coming out of the study room with an unknown document.
He held the document in one hand and held the phone on his shoulder with his head tilted as he read it. "Yes, I have the copy in my hand too. Give it to Mr. Hendrickson."
As he spoke, he saw Xian Guiying had finished taking a shower and was looking at him. He then said softly into the phone, "Do as I say. Wait for my news."
He placed the document and his phone on the bedside table and went to hug her. He pecked her lips and smelled the comforting fragrance on her body, then hugged her even tighter, saying, "At first, I wanted to take a shower with you, but I'm afraid you will chase me away as if I were a stray wolf."
"Hooligan!" Xian Guiying shot him at a glance. She had just finished taking a shower and was thirsty, so she decided to drink some water.
Qin Gengxin laughed and followed behind her. "If I can't be a hooligan with you, should I try it with other women? What's more, even if I do get involved with other women, would you immediately skin them?"
The corner of Xian Guiying's mouth twitched. She looked at him over her shoulder. "You want to try?"
Qin Gengxin smiled as he lifted two fingers towards his forehead. He closed his eyes and pretended to think. "Hmm..Let me think, who are the girls who have been trying to contact me recently."
Xian Guiying just smiled at his behavior. Qin Gengxin had always been like this. He always had a glib tongue in front of women, but in reality, he was a wise and humble man. He was just seriously discussing business matters and now he was showing off again.
She suddenly stopped. "Has your fever gone? There's no more rash on your body?"
"How is it? Do I look more handsome than before?"
Xian Guiying frowned in displeasure. "If you continue to be so unruly, I won't care about you anymore."
Qin Gengxin immediately put away his roguish smile and curled his lips. "It's alright. My fever reduced last night. If not, how can I have the strength to continue to last so long?"
Xian Guiying ignored him and went to pour down water for herself. After that, she went back to the bedroom and saw a document placed on the bedside table. Even though she knew that Qin Gengxin might have done something to the Bai Group, she didn't know whether she should have asked about it.
Just as she hesitated, his voice suddenly came from next to her ear. "I plan to completely change the way Qin Corporation runs and take advantage of this setback to turn part of the company into new management."
It was clear that he had spent a lot of effort doing this.
Xian Guiying looked at him. She suddenly smiled. "It seems like I still didn't trust you enough. At that time at the Royale Nightclub, I thought you –"
"If I can't fool you and Xian Zihao, how can I hide from Mrs. Bai's eyes?" Qin Gengxin said indifferently. "A few days after I showed up at the Royale Nightclub, Mrs. Bai planted some people there to watch over me. So now you know the reason why I'd spent my time over there."
Xian Guiying thought for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Bai turned down my brother's request. Her relationship with my brother was pretty good, but she turned down his request to meet this time. Some time ago, she came to Boston and we coincidentally met and were on the same plane, but I heard that she recently returned to New York. "
"She had long wanted to swallow some of the Qin Corporation projects and this time, she took the advantage in the name of avenging her daughter, openly consuming everything in Qin's. I'll wait for her to eat until she's full before cutting open her stomach." Qin Gengxin said as he took a cigarette from the coffee table and was about to put it in his mouth when suddenly he felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He paused and looked up to see Xian Guiying staring at the cigarette in his hand. After hesitation, he put it back.
"You weren't addicted to cigarettes before." She said.
Qin Gengxin smiled. "Men are always anxious these days and smoke when they are upset. I am too annoyed and have too many things on my mind. Besides drinking, I can only smoke."
"Don't smoke anymore." Xian Guiying said softly.
Qin Gengxin looked at her, then pursed his lips. "Alright."
