My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 694

It was a very gentle word. In the quiet room, Qin Gengxin suddenly said it out loud. It was very sudden and light. That was clearly a weak word, but it was so gentle that Xian Guiying felt her heart tremble.

She took a deep breath, pulled her hand away from him, then hurriedly left the ward as if she was being chased by a ghost.

She was like a little mermaid who fell in love with a prince, and after she took a human form, she danced on the edge of the knife all this time, singing a beautiful song. Finally, one day the prince gets to know the little mermaid, and once she thought they would live happily together, the prince decided to leave her.  The pain in the mermaid’s heart will remain for the rest of her life, but the little mermaid didn’t hold a grudge, and she will never hate the prince for forgetting her.

‘I love you.’

A light word but so heavy in her heart.

Xian Guiying walked into the elevator. Upon exiting, she realized that he had used the wrong elevator and entered the wrong building. She also went in the wrong direction, so she could only run back to the elevator.

When she finally arrived at the doctor’s office, the doctor told her some important things about treating measles patients. He also said that Qin Gengxin’s rash would go away in a week or so, and nothing would happen. When she finally reached the door to Qin Gengxin’s ward, Xian Guiying hesitated and stood there for a long time before entering.

Qin Gengxin had recovered a lot after receiving an IV drip. He leaned back against the headboard, watching her as she walked inside.

Under his gaze, Xian Guiying took a deep breath before staring into his eyes. “How are you feeling?”

“Fortunately, I’m not going to die.” He laughed, “The feeling of burning to the point of fainting is not much different from being drunk.”

Seeing him mention that he continued to drink, Xian Guiying just looked at him blandly without saying a word. She sat down next to the bed, took out her phone from her bag, and looked at the unknown number that had called her. It was almost 4 in the morning and she didn’t know who it was.

She directly contacted Xian Zihao, but the call only connected after several rings.

“Guiying.”

“Big brother, am I disturbing your sleep? Is Qianqian sleeping with you?” She asked as she saw Qin Gengxin’s hand trying to reach for her.

She quietly looked at him. He was like a child that was afraid his mother would leave him in the hospital. Afraid that his mother would never want him anymore. He just wanted to hold her, holding her hand tightly.

Xian Guiying tried her best to ignore the boiling heat in her hands. She heard Xian Zihao say, “Yes, she slept soundly. Qianqian is very sensible. I told her that her mother had an urgent affair to attend and that I would accompany her for the time being. She would follow me obediently and let me coax her to sleep.”

Xian Guiying was relieved. She hesitated for a moment but didn’t say what she wanted to say. She just said softly, “Then you go to sleep. I hung up first.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Xian Guiying thought for a moment before texting Xian Zihao.

Xian Guiying: Qin Gengxin was suffering from measles and high fever. He is now in the hospital and I have to take care of him. I am afraid he has the virus. Qianqian is too young and her resilience is too weak, so I can’t be near her at the moment. I may have to wait until Qin Gengxin’s illness to heal before I can come back.

Xian Zihao: Alright, I’ll return the plane ticket tomorrow. I’ll help you take care of the child for a few days.”

Xian Guiying: But what about sister-in-law and your two children? Will they be okay?

Xian Zihao: I called her yesterday and told her that if there was a change here, it might delay my return. She already knows. The kids are fine, and mom and Sister Yanmei are helping me taking care of them. You don’t have to worry.

Xian Guiying: That’s good to hear. Please help send my apologies to sister-in-law when you come home next week.

Xian Zihao: Stupid girl, I have a lifetime to reunite with the woman I love. Now, the most important thing is about you. Follow your heart, do you understand?

Xian Guiying: Yes. Thank you, Big Brother.

After sending a text message, she looked up and saw Qin Gengxin had already fallen asleep. However, his hand still held hers, refusing to let go.

She looked at his pale face as he slept. Then she gently pulled her hand from his grip.

If she had already made this choice, why did she drag Wei Zhengsheng into the deep water? She just didn’t want to see Qin Gengxin become very upset, didn’t want to see him hand over his Qin just like that, and moreover, didn’t want to be unfair to Wei Zhengsheng just because she was worried about Qin Gengxin. She didn’t want to waste other people’s time.

Xian Guiying still didn’t know what had happened between the Qin Family and the Xian Family. Qin Gengxin secretly liked her for years, but he always stayed away from her.

She was really curious.

Five days later.

Qin Gengxin finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom and immediately saw Xian Guiying was busy chatting with someone on the computer. He walked over to look, but Xian Guiying immediately closed the window.  Even so, he managed to steal a glance at the content of their conversation.

‘Guiying, I’ve separated the assets that Qin Gengxin transferred to you. When do you plan to transfer them back to him?’

‘In these two days, I’ll be watching his movements and see when I can return them to him.’

These few words caused Qin Gengxin to look at her. Xian Guiying shifted her gaze to him. “Before going to bed, take your temperature once more and take medicine prescribed by the doctor. I estimate that you will recover more or less tomorrow or the day after.”

“What are your plans when my illness recovers?” Qin Gengxin went to the fridge to get a can of beer and opened it. He walked into the living room and asked.

Seeing that he wanted to drink again, Xian Guiying immediately stood up and took the beer can in his hand. “Are you addicted to drinking? When did you ask the owner of the supermarket to deliver the beer?”

Qin Gengxin looked at the beer can in her hand. “While you go out to buy vegetables.”

Xian Guiying poked her cheeks with her tongue. “I guess I shouldn’t call you by your name. I should call you Madman Qin!”

“Just looking at the way you’ve acted towards me these few days, hot and cold, I’m going crazy from that torture.” Qin Gengxin rolled his eyes and grabbed the beer in her hand.

Xian Guiying frowned and hid the beer can behind her. She raised her head and asked, “When do I get hot and cold?”

Qin Gengxin looked at her helplessly. He suddenly put his arm around her waist and pulled her to his embrace, staring at the woman whose head was half shorter than his, “Like now, even though you care so much about me, every time I want to step closer to you, you will calmly retreat.”

Xian Guiying blinked. She wanted to struggle free from his embrace, but Qin Gengxin firmly restrained her. He lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers while saying, “Xian Guiying, just admit it. Admit that you can’t let me go, admit you still love me so much. Is that hard?”

“You misunderstood! Let go!” Her heart felt as if it had been tapped into his chest. She raised her hand and pushed him away.

Qin Gengxin held her waist tightly, while his other hand held her hand that was on his chest, their fingers intertwined together.

Xian Guiying wanted to pull back her hand, but he grabbed her five fingers tightly, kissed the corner of her lips, then said softly next to her mouth. “Do you really think that I am someone you can kick whenever you like? Guiying, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t want it. From now on, you will never marry anyone but me!”
