My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 618

After finishing two cigarettes, Xian Guiying got up and tossed the unfinished box of cigarettes into a drawer. She continued cleaning until 2:30 in the afternoon. Then, she removed the plastic and placed a small board in front of the door.

At the same time, she also heard the middle-aged woman scolding her husband. From time to time, the middle-aged woman would say her name in the argument.

Xian Guiying went into the storeroom to get some new hats that she knitted this morning. When she came out, there were already two people inside her shop. She smiled and walked over, “Hello, welcome. Can I help you? Are you looking for a new hat or scarf? All the items in our shop are handmade. They are quality guaranteed and not expensive. If you like it, you can tr–”

Before she could finish her sentences, the man holding the hat turned around and the smile on her face immediately faded. The new hat in Xian Guiying’s hand was almost crippled by the tight grip on her hands. The moment the man spun around, he immediately grabbed her wrist.

“Wait.” At first Qin Gengxin only found out from his people that Xian Guiying was opening a shop on Square Street, but because there are so many shops here, he leisurely took a walk while looking for her.

He did not expect he would be in her small shop, and when he saw the trace of disgust in her face, he immediately grabbed her wrist.

Xian Guiying’s expression was tense as she forcefully shook off his hand and took two steps backward. Qin Gengxin thought that she wanted to hide from him and was about to catch up on her when she suddenly bent over, took out a broom from the corner of the room, and turned around to greet him fiercely.

“Get out!” Xian Guiying couldn’t help herself and scream. “Scram! Get out!”

Qin Gengxin jumped up and down after being hit by a broom. He looked at her with a shocked face and held the broom with his hand. “Guiying! You–”

“Scram!” Xian Guiying didn’t give him the slightest leeway as she hit his body with a broom in her hand. “Scram!”

“Guiying!” While dodging the broom, Qin Gengxin tried to yank the broom from her hands, but she was too fierce for him to stop. He frowned and rushed towards her, grabbing her arm. “Xian Guiying, stop it!”

Xian Guiying couldn’t fight free from Qin Gengxin’s grip. She raised her eyes and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost. “What are you doing here? Qin Gengxin! Let’s not talk any more nonsense. You are to leave immediately! Don’t make me call the police!”

“What police do you want to call? I don’t hit anyone or robbing their house or committing murder or arson, so who will be able to arrest me even if you call the police?” Qin Gengxin frowned and immediately took out the broom in her hand and threw it to the side. Then he held her arm with one hand and said, “You open a shop in a place like this, sooner or later, I will still find you.”

Xian Guiying glanced at him and said, “Never once the thought of running away from people like you flashed in my mind. I just want to live in a different environment. Mr. Qin, you’re too overthinking.”

When she said that, she forcefully pulled her wrist from his hand and took two steps back. Her face was slightly pale. Never once did she think that Qin Gengxin would suddenly appear here.

It was just that he was right, she did not hide in a place that was very hard to be found, because she still needed to live and earned the money. As long as he wanted to find her, he could find her sooner or later.

However, she didn’t expect him to come so soon.

Or perhaps, she didn’t think that he would come looking for her.

Xian Guiying rubbed her aching wrist. Her eyes were cool and clear. There was not the slightest bit of panic in them. She only looked at Qin Gengxin coldly. When she saw that he was looking at her, she simply looked away.

Qin Gengxin didn’t say anything, just looked at her, at the woman who had lost a lot of weight in a span of a year. Her wavy hair that was originally long to her waist had been cut to just shoulder length and was casually tied up behind her head. The simple and comfortable cotton pants she wore, instead of the fashionable limited edition ladies’ suit and those exquisite clothes she wore back then. She was looking like the red rose that bloomed proudly in front of him, unexpectedly becoming so beautiful.

Her body no longer had the faint perfume that she used to wear but instead had shampoo’s fragrance.

Seeing the change in the woman in front of him, especially the hatred and rejection towards him, Qin Gengxin frowned slightly.

He held her arm again and calmly looked at her, waiting for her to calm down. However, it was clear that Xian Guiying was very calm in the first place. She wasn’t a crazy woman who would continuously struggle when she knew it was such a useless effort.

There was another customer entering the shop at the same time as Qin Gengxin’s. He was immediately terrified of Xian Guiying’s actions until he ran out. Sunlight was shining on every street corner, and more and more pedestrians appeared.

Ten minutes later.

Qin Gengxin closed the door, no longer allowing customers to enter. In a dim shop that was only seven to eight square meters, Xian Guiying’s expression remained cold with no trace of warmth.

“Are you all right? Does your wrist hurt?” Both of them knew that it was such a useless question to ask, but at the very least, Qin Gengxin was able to calm both sides.

Xian Guiying looked at him expressionlessly. “Qin Gengxin, I don’t care how you found me, I also don’t care why you came here. Just say whatever you want to say, then leave.”

Qin Gengxin didn’t say anything. He only looked at her for a moment, then looked at the handmade knitwear on the wall.

Seeing those items on the wall and seeing how carefree she was, for a moment, he envied her.

He envied her for being able to live happily. He picked up the blue shawl. It’s very soft and indeed made from excellent material. Xian Guiying had made it herself.

Xian Guiying didn’t want to look at him, so she started packing her things. It was the peak tourism season in Wuyuan and because of Wei Shanyuan’s visit to her house two days ago, she had closed the shop earlier at night.

“You don’t have to avoid me. I didn’t think my appearance would make you feel so aggressive. Guiying, I didn’t sign the divorce agreement. We’re still husband and wife.” Qin Gengxin didn’t look back at her figure. He put down the blue scarf in his hand and said lightly.

Xian Guiying, who was stuffing her belongings into the box, suddenly stopped and looked up at him. Qin Gengxin also looked at her at the same time. “You didn’t receive an attachment to the divorce agreement, did you? Are you so sure that I will sign it? Hmm?”
