My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 637
Qin Gengxin didn’t say anything and just closed his eyes.
Wei Zhengsheng looked at him, “Qin Gengxin, are you really that cruel to make your daughter not see her own father until she’s almost three years old? How cruel are you to be unwilling to go home for a meal with your wife after the marriage? How ruthless are you to changed Xian Guiying into this?”
Qin Gengxin did not say a word. He looked down, pressed both his hands on his forehead, and did not retort.
“By all rights, after she got married, I should have been married to a woman that had been arranged by my parents and have a child. When I saw her end up marrying the person she loves, I thought she would be very happy. But every day, I would see that forced smile of hers.”
Wei Zhengsheng continued to speak softly, “That’s why I have decided to keep an eye on her. I know that in a situation like that, sooner or later, she will collapse. Without you by her side and if I am married, what do you think will happen to her once she breaks down?”
Qin Gengxin looked at him indifferently, “If you love her so much, why didn’t you take action long before she got married? Wei Zhengsheng, don’t talk to me like you are a sane person. We’re all men, I know your thought better than anyone else!”
Qin Gengxin sneered coldly.
Wei Zhengsheng raised his eyebrow, “Before marriage, her heart will not be able to accept others in it.”
Qin Gengxins expression froze and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“It’s you.” Wei Zhengsheng looked at him with a faint smile. “Qin Gengxin, you are the only person who owned her heart all this time, but then, you also are the one who personally emptied her heart.”
Qin Gengxin just sat there blankly and didn’t say anything. Wei Zhengsheng looked at him for a moment before slowly standing up. He took out the key, opened the door, and entered.
When the door closed, Qin Gengxin suddenly remembered something. He turned his head to look at the tightly closed door and immediately muttered a curse. “Shit!”
Xian Guiying actually gave the keys to the house to Wei Zhengsheng! Was she completely unguarded or did she never treat Wei Zhengsheng as an outsider?
Qin Gengxin sighed and rubbed his glabella.
“Mr. Qin, I make biscuits and cakes, do you want to eat them?” At this moment, the opposite door opened and Nanny Yuan walked out with a beaming smile. In her hand, she held a plate of freshly baked biscuits.
Qin Gengxin stood up and ignored her. He walked downstairs.
“Eh? Mr. Qin? Where are you going?” Nanny Yuan called out to him.
Qin Gengxin stopped and looked at the biscuit in her hand. “How much sugar did you put in it?”
“Oh, it’s without sugar, I’m afraid eating too much sugar will harm your body.” Nanny Yuan laughed out loud as she lifted the plate in her hand with a complacent look in her eyes.
Qin Gengxin pointed with his chin at the door that was tightly closed in front of him and said, “Give it to the child in the house opposite us. Let’s say that it was you who gave it to them, not me.”
If Qin Wenqian knew the biscuit was from him, he was afraid that she would never eat it.
“Ah …” Nanny Yuan was a little taken aback, but she nodded obediently. She knew that Qin Gengxin had a bad temper, so she didn’t dare ask more questions like when they first met.

“Uncle Wei, here I’ll give you my cherries!” Qin Wenqian held a plate of fruit in her hand.
Wei Zhengsheng took the plate of fruit and set it aside. He then sat down on the couch, took Qin Wenqian to his lap, and smiled as he rubbed her head. “Uncle is not hungry. Is Qianqian alright? Today Uncle Wei will watch cartoons with you, hmm?”
Qin Wenqian grinned and leaned into his arms, pressing her face to his chest but not saying a word.
It was not a good thing for a four-year-old girl to be so preoccupied with her own matters. Wei Zhengsheng patted her back lightly, told her jokes, told her some interesting stories from famous children’s programs he had heard, and told her fairy tales.
Throughout the story, Qin Wenqian’s eyes were wide open, as if she was thinking of something.
Seeing that the nanny was cleaning the cabinets in the bedroom and was standing on the chair, which was not very stable, Wei Zhengsheng immediately offered his help. He put Qin Wenqian down on the couch and got up to help.
“Mrs. Zhang, is Qianqian’s mood the same as today?” Wei Zhengsheng asked as he fixed the chair.
Mrs. Zhang sighed, “I don’t know what’s wrong with this kid. She usually smiles when she sees people, but today, she didn’t talk too much and she didn’t smile too much either.”
Mrs. Zhang stood on a chair with a rag. Wei Zhengsheng took the rag and said, “Let me do it.”
A few minutes later, when he came out of the bedroom after helping Mrs. Zhang, he saw Qin Wenqian hurriedly close the door and ran back to the couch.
There was a little stool on the door. The child stood on it and opened the door.
What did she see?
Wei Zhengsheng sighed. He didn’t know if Qin Gengxin had left or not, so he walked to the door and opened it. There was no one in the corridor, just a layer of dust.
He looked back at the child that was lying on the couch without making a sound.
As he was about to close the door, the door opposite him suddenly opened. The woman he met a few days ago walked out.
Nanny Yuan was holding plates of cakes and biscuits in her hand and some pastries that looked like they had just been made, and she walked over and said, “Hello sir, don’t close the door yet. You have a child, aren’t you? I just made a dessert and wanted to give it to you. Here, take it.”
Wei Zhengsheng looked at the dessert the woman handed him. Seeing the woman’s happy face, he slowly took the plates. He looked at the dessert in his hand and asked softly, “Did you make this yourself?”
“Yes, yes.” Nanny Yuan loves to chat, so she nodded immediately.
In fact, she had a lot of questions in her heart. She didn’t know why her own boss asked her to make the sweets but not eat them. She also didn’t know why he asked her to give it to the child next door.
“Who asked you to send it?” Wei Zhengsheng had suspected Qin Gengxin was the one living in the house before.
“Ah, this …” Nanny Yuan stiffened for a moment. If it were for her, she would tell the truth, but considering what Qin Gengxin had said, she hesitated and then smiled, “No one asked me to send it. We are neighbors and I saw that your family has a child. I love children, and I also love cooking delicious food. Today, I made a lot of cakes and biscuits, so I will let your family taste it.”
“Then I thank you on behalf of my child for your good intentions.” Wei Zhengsheng smiled before closing the door. He stared at the cake and biscuits in his hand, and although he had guessed something, he didn’t say anything.
He just looked at Qin Wenqian before putting the plates to the side and took the child. “Qianqian isn’t in a good mood today, how about Uncle Wei taking you out to play?”
“Where to?” Qin Wenqian raised her eyes, her large eyes filled with innocence.
“Anywhere you want to go. There seems to be a park near the house, your mommy doesn’t usually have the time to bring you there, right? Can Uncle Wei take you there?”
“Alright.”
