My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 641
Xian Guiying didn’t look at him, only at the window.
If she didn’t know that Wei Zhengsheng would be home with Qin Wenqian, she had to hurry home even though she was half-dead.
Qin Gengxin retracted his hand and placed it beside her, gently pressing her hand against his palm.
Xian Guiying frowned and tried to pull her hand away, but he wouldn’t let go.
She stopped fighting and looked out the window into the darkness. At this time, the lights outside the windows were also gradually turned off, leaving only the dim light in the room.
“You’re right. Ever since you met me, your life has been filled with bad luck. Since you met me, the serenity in your life has gradually disappeared. I’m the one who taught you how to be so crafty in handling the company, I’m the one who taught you how to drink, and I’m the one who taught you to be so varied.”
“It was I who personally transformed you into the Xian Guiying now, the one people called as aloof, unfeeling, but only I knew that the real you is actually not like that.”
Xian Guiying kept staring out the window, but her focus gradually lost.
“You’ve hidden your weaknesses too deep, like how you were mistreated by your family just because of Cui Luixian until you ran away from home. From then on, you’re no longer willing to look back at home. In front of everyone else, you appear to be strong and magnanimous enough, they can’t see how weak you are. Perhaps only Xian Zihao can see the true you. But Guiying, you are still by my side for the longest time, so I know that you are just a simple little girl.”
“Very simple …” The grip on her hand tightened. “A simple girl that will do anything for me.”
Xian Guiying’s gaze froze as she turned to look at him.
“In those years, I know a lot of things you’ve done, including selling your shares in West Ribbon, secretly negotiating for them to sell the shares to me, and rescuing the Qin Corporation from the crisis of disaster.”
“I know that. I know everything.”
His voice was a bit hoarse as he held her hand, not letting go.
“You don’t like to explain things, but when you explain about your pregnancy to me, I didn’t listen to you and deceived myself. Indeed, Qin Gengxin is a bastard, selfish enough to think of his own freedom, trying his best to push that beautiful Xian Guiying away.”
Qin Gengxin chuckled a little. “Actually, I understand why you left me our daughter’s death certificate. The moment I saw Qianqian’s death certificate with my own eyes, it was like a stick smashing my head, making me realize how much of a bastard I was in the blink of an eye.
“I’m a bastard, right? You just want me to know that I’m a bastard!”
Xian Guiying looked at him quietly and blinked slowly. “Qin Gengxin, I don’t want to chase the past anymore. You’re right, we’re all selfish. Originally, I didn’t want to get into any more conflict with you, and even more so, I didn’t want to have anything to do with you. However, I still couldn’t figure out why you were so stubborn. You are even more stubborn than me.”
He sighed bitterly but did not reply.
“What’s the reason behind this? Is it about your grandmother? Otherwise, why would she reject me so much?”
Qin Gengxin didn’t refute her, but he didn’t give her a direct answer. He simply looked at her. “Must we get divorced?”
She looked at him in silence for a long time. Seeing her dry lips, Qin Gengxin got up and poured a glass of water. He came back and sat on the bed with a glass in one hand and the other wrapped around her back to help her sit up.
“Is there still a taste of wine in your mouth? Drink some water and rinse your mouth. I will boil some hot water. You can drink them later and then sleep. You will be fine tomorrow morning.”
Xian Guiying drank a sip of water from the glass he passed to her before raising her head to look at him.
Qin Gengxin was about to put the glass down when she suddenly grabbed on his sleeve.
He looked at her, his eyes very calm. It was as if he was always looking for an opportunity to explain these things to her, and then he would respect her choice.
This Qin Gengxin was the real Qin Gengxin and his calmness was terrifying.
Xian Guiying’s eyes that had been red from the wine earlier were no longer red. She opened her mouth to ask if what he said at that time was true, whether he was really in the hospital or if he was with Bai Nuying. But as the words reached her mouth, she felt that it was foolish to ask.
It was already decided that they would get a divorce, so was it really important?
Moreover, she had really seen the bloodstain on the ground.
It was just that she had been confused by her fear and anger, and she had not been willing to think about those things for a year.
Xian Guiying just wanted to get away from the shackles in her heart. She was trying to get away from it all. She didn’t want to know the truth anymore. So what if she knew?
Seeing her slowly lowering her eyes and putting down her hand that was on his sleeve, Qin Gengxin didn’t ask or say anything.
Xian Guiying just leaned on the bed and calmly turned her head to look out of the window.
After about two hours, the medicine effect on Xian Guiying’s body gradually disappeared. Originally, she was leaning against the head of the bed, closing her eyes to sleep but when she suddenly heard a slight noise in the room, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced into the darkness of the room.
It was almost three o’clock in the morning, the sky outside was still very dark, with a relentless chirping of insects.
Xian Guiying caught a glance of a figure on the nearest sofa, smoking. She didn’t know when Qin Gengxin went down to buy a box of low-cost cigarettes. He couldn’t buy a good cigarette here, but he managed to smoke it all in just two hours.
The windows were open and there’s a smell of smoke in the room.
The room was very dark, with only a little light.
She watched for a moment, then turned on the bedside light and sat up.
Seeing that she had woken up, Qin Gengxin hurriedly put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, stood up, and walked over to her. “Why are you awake? Did I disturb you?”
She lifted the blanket and said in a tone not cold or warm, “The smell of smoke is too strong.”
She’s about to get up when Qin Gengxin helped her. “I’m sorry, but I can’t fall asleep and unknowingly smoked a few more cigarettes.”
“How many cigarettes you smoke has nothing to do with me.” Xian Guiying looked at him without expression, then pushed him away. She got up and walked to the bathroom. “Don’t follow me. ”
Qin Gengxin instinctively wanted to support her, but when he heard her words, his face immediately darkened. He lowered his hand and watched as she walked into the bathroom. He stuffed his hand into his pocket and walked to the edge of the bed. He looked to the place where she had just lay down with a calm look in his eyes.
A few minutes later, Xian Guiying came out of the bathroom with a wet face. Qin Gengxin looked at her while she wiped her face. Then, he looked away before hearing her say lightly, “I’m fine now. I have to go home. They’ll definitely be worried if I don’t come back tonight.”
“Who are they?” Qin Gengxin immediately asked.
