My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 617

The petite woman did not expect anyone to help her. When she turned to look at Xian Guiying, her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were still full of gratitude. “Thank you.”

“Are you okay?” Xian Guiying smiled kindly at her and said, “Don’t cry anymore. It’s very hot outside. You will suffer from scorching heat if you stand here for so long. Sit in my shop first and drink some water.”

Xian Guiying helped the woman enter her shop and poured water for her. When she handed it to her, she saw her face was pale.

“Did you see it?” The woman muttered to herself, “I feel like I was dying just now.”

Xian Guiying pursed her lips and poured water for herself. She looked at the woman for a moment and then whispered, “Love can’t kill someone. Even if you’re so upset and feel like you wanted to die, it depends on whether the other party worth it or not.”

Wei Shanyuan had just returned from Li Valley with his colleagues and had just returned to the hotel where he was staying, but before he could enter the door, he abruptly stopped. He saw a silver-gray car parked on the side of the road.

The window was dark, and he couldn’t see the people inside.

However, Wei Shanyuan somehow felt something was wrong. As if he could feel someone looking at him from inside.

He looked at the car several times, not knowing if anyone was in it or not. Only when his colleagues nudged him and urged him to go inside, did he walk to the hotel. He felt a slight unease.

Upon returning to the hotel, he showered and changed his clothes. He chatted with his colleagues for a while before taking the opportunity to leave. When he looked at the side of the road again, the silver-gray car that had been parked was no longer there.

He didn’t know if he was overthinking, but he still took out his phone to call Wei Zhengsheng. Once the call was connected, he immediately asked, “Has there been any news about Qin Gengxin recently? Is he still in the United States?”

However, the one who answered the call was not Wei Zhengsheng but Secretary Dai. She was in the office, cleaning Wei Zhengsheng’s table when she heard his phone ring. She answered instinctively, not expecting to hear such a question.

Secretary Dai was stunned for a moment before replying, “I’m sorry, President Wei is in a meeting.”

Wei Shanyuan immediately swore in a low voice. No one entered Wei Zhengsheng’s office casually, and he didn’t think his secretary was in the office at the moment. He paused, then quickly hung up the phone after saying a few words.

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Wuyuan Street. Could it be that he was too worried?

Xian Guiying chatted with the petite woman as she cleaned her display cabinet with a wet cloth. She listened to the petite woman talks about the story between her and her husband.

They were together because of some circumstances. They were young at that time and every day, the woman would follow the man without a fuss, accompanying him.

Slowly, they both fall in love with each other, but the man started to distance himself from her due to some misunderstanding. However, the petite woman was pregnant and had to get married due to pressure from both parents. Not long after their marriage, the man had an affair with an outsider. The woman soon lost her baby and for the next two years, the man did not return home frequently, leaving his wife behind.

To this day, due to the pressure of his parents, he finally brought his wife to Wuyuan for a vacation.

When Xian Guiying heard the woman said that she was pregnant again, her hand, which was cleaning the dust, immediately stopped.

“I’m pregnant. A month ago, on his father’s birthday celebration, he finally came home. That night, he drank too much and was carried into his bedroom by his parents, and it was that very night, we were together again for the first time after he distancing himself. I didn’t think that I would be able to get pregnant again after a miscarriage, but I didn’t dare to tell him.”

The woman held the glass tightly in her hand, “On the plane, I felt nausea and ran to the toilet to vomit. He saw it but he didn’t really care about me at all. Hey, at least he got the stewardess to bring me a pillow and blanket.” She laughed bitterly.

Xian Guiying took a deep breath and threw the towel in her hand into the basin. She looked at the woman. “Are you planning on having this child?” She asked.

The woman was surprised by the question. No one had ever asked her this question. She, herself, never thought of this question.

She looked at Xian Guiying blankly, “I …I don’t know …”

Xian Guiying smiled. “Sister, there are some things you just have to endure. When you reach the end of the road, you will feel how regretful you are for your perseverance. If you have the ability to give your child a warm and happy future and if you want this child, then you should keep it. If you do not have the ability, then do not give birth to this child.”

When Xian Guiying thought about how her daughter hadn’t mentioned her father since she (Qin Wenqian) broke through the gates of hell a year ago, Xian Guiying felt her heart ache. This was the only injustice she gave to her daughter.

Qin Wenqian never once mentioned her father again. Although she was only four years old, she had the temperament of a grown-up person. Deep in her heart, she knew she shouldn’t wait anymore.

Xian Guiying didn’t want to see a second Qin Wenqian, let alone see a second herself.

Although this woman was weaker than her, she was still the same.

The woman lowered her head and said softly, “If he still does this to me and does not separate from that woman, I will get a divorce. It’s just that this child … It’s not that I don’t have the ability to support her, it’s just… I’m not sure if she can live in a family without a father in the future …”

When the petite woman had rested enough and left after saying a few words of thanks, the man still hadn’t come to pick her up. She took her camera and walked towards an inn not far away with unsteady steps.

Xian Guiying stood alone in the shop. She hadn’t smoked for a long time. Ever since she gave birth to Qin Wenqian, she had almost never touched anything related to tobacco. However, this time, she felt an inexplicable urge to smoke.

She went out and bought a pack of ladies’ cigarettes. She leaned against the wall at the corner of the store and smoked alone. While smoking, she looked at the glass of water on the table.

‘Xian Guiying, have you ever regretted it?’

Maybe she really regretted it when Qin Wenqian was almost dying and when she learned that the man had another woman in his apartment and was doing “other things.”

She always wanted to say that if there hadn’t been so many ‘ifs’ in her life, she would have calmed down a long time ago and wouldn’t have a single ripple in her heart towards that person or that past.

However, when Xian Guiying heard that woman telling her story while shedding tears, there was still a trace of unwillingness in her (Xian Guiying) heart
