My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 623

Xian Guiying came back to her senses only to see Wei Zhengsheng standing in front of her with a small suitcase in one hand. He was wearing a medium gray casual shirt and his smile was humble and gentle.

“Ah, uh …” Xian Guiying was at a loss for a moment. She recalled the words flashing in her mind and could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. She immediately straightened her back and smiled, “I wanted to pick you up at the airport since the airport is only 20 minutes away from the ancient city. After I received the news that you were off the plane, it was already too late for me to pick you up there.”

Wei Zhengsheng chuckled. “Why are you so formal with me?” He immediately looked down at the little girl on Xian Guiying’s legs. “Qianqian, it’s been a year since you last saw Uncle Wei. Do you still remember how I look?”

“I remember!” If relying on her memories, Qin Wenqian would surely be confused. However, with the advance of the internet, the picture of Xian Enterprise’s CEO can be seen everywhere and Xian Guiying often used her computer to check on Xian Enterprise’s development, so her daughter, of course would often see a picture of Wei Zhengsheng.

Wei Zhengsheng smiled and bent down to carry Qin Wenqian in his arms. Qin Wenqian immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

“What are you so engrossed with just now? I’ve been standing here for a minute and you never realized my presence.” Wei Zhengsheng kissed Qin Wenqian’s chubby cheek before smiling at Xian Guiying, who had just come back to her senses. “I’ve never seen you like this before. Although you are thirty, you look younger than your age. Within a year, you had transformed into a holy and innocent young maiden. Xian Guiying, only you have these extraordinary abilities.”

“What do you mean by that? Your eyes must be blind. I am getting older. Look at the wrinkle in my face.”

“Old? Thirty years old considered old? This is the golden age when women are at their most beautiful.” Wei Zhengsheng smiled and walked next to her, carrying his suitcase.

“Not old, nor young. I’m in the middle.” Xian Guiying looked at the blue sky and narrowed her eyes slightly. “I no longer have the right to be childish and impulsive.”

Wei Zhengsheng said nothing, but he suddenly stopped his steps and turned to look at the asphalt road next to the ancient city not far from him.

Sensing that he had stopped, Xian Guiying immediately looked at him. “What are you looking at?”

As she said that, she looked in the direction of his gaze and saw some unfamiliar cars parked on the side of the road. She looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary, so she looked back at Wei Zhengsheng. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Wei Zhengsheng withdrew his gaze and held Qin Wenqian tightly. He then smiled. “Let’s go. I heard from Shanyuan that your shop is running smoothly.  Why don’t we go to your shop first?”

“No need. Shanyuan helps me take care of the shop. I’ll take you to my house first.”

“Since you’re opening a shop and doing business, you can’t put off the business because of me casually. It’s better if we go to your shop.”

“At the very least, put down your suitcase first.” Xian Guiying waved her hand. “Let’s go.”

Seeing her figure, Wei Zhengsheng’s gaze turned to gentleness. Qin Wenqian, who was in his arms, lowered her head and whispered something into his ear. “Uncle Wei, my mother hates cleaning the house. She knew you were coming, so she dragged me to clean with her yesterday!”

“Oh? Really?” Wei Zhensheng raised an eyebrow. “Then what did Qianqian do with mommy yesterday?”

“Ugh …” Qin Wenqian counted with her fingers seriously, “Help mommy put all the toys in the box because I want to play them with Uncle Wei when you come to our house.”

Wei Zhengsheng laughed, “What else?”

“Also …” Qin Wenqian continued counting with her finger. “I washed my own socks yesterday …”

“Hmm? Is there anything else?”

Qin Wenqian sighed as if she were a good and obedient kid. “I even wiped the table and swept the floor. I swept it clean.”

“Qianqian is really strong! Uncle Wei is so proud of you.” Wei Zhengsheng patted her head lovingly and sighed at how many things he had missed. It’s only been a year since they met. Qin Wenqian, who was a thin and shy girl, had grown so much this year and became very sensible.

“Mhmm! Uncle Wei, what gift do you bring for Qianqian?” Qin Wenqian immediately raised her little hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

“Qianqian, why did you casually ask for a gift? That’s rude. What did mommy teach you before?” Xian Guiying had just stopped in her tracks when she saw her daughter whispering something to Wei Zhengsheng.

Qin Wenqian quickly placed her small hand behind her back and let Wei Zhengsheng hug her. She bit her lip and didn’t dare ask for more.

“It’s not like you don’t know your daughter’s personality. She’s only like this with me, why are you so stern with her?” Wei Zhengsheng glanced at Xian Guiying and patted the little girl’s head gently. “Your gift is inside Uncle Wei’s suitcase. You can take it when we get home later.”

“Really?” Qin Wenqian’s eyes immediately lit up.

Wei Zhengsheng stroked her small face with a smile.

Xian Guiying didn’t say anything more. Wei Zhengsheng was right.  Since Qin Wenqian was young, the only people she could play with were Wei Zhengsheng and herself.

The father’s role …It seemed to be Wei Zhengsheng playing the part.

It’s been a year. Despite the gap, Wei Zhengsheng still called once a week to talk to Qin Wenqian about smallpox and other unimportant things. Xian Guiying paused and suddenly quickened her pace when she recalled what Wei Shanyuan had said that day.

Seeing that she had quickened his pace, Wei Zhengsheng followed with the child in his arms, chatting with her along the way.

“How does it feel to live here?”

As he walked through the door of the building where Xian Guiying lived, he looked at the old staircase leading to her floor. The paint on the handrails all fell off, and the dark corners were covered with cobwebs.

“This place only developed a few years ago, so the main maintenance is carried out slowly. Actually, there are new buildings and nice residential areas here, but for me, since this place is closest to my shop, it wasn’t a problem.” Xian Guiying took out her key as they walked to her floor. “Don’t look down at the environment. My house is carefully decorated. It costs nearly two hundred thousand yuan.”

“Two hundred thousand …” While carrying Qin Wenqian, Wei Zhengsheng sighed. “This number is just the price of a normal handbag for you in the past. It seems that the environment can indeed change someone.”
