My Little Sweet Wife - Chapter 752

Because it was too late, Wei Zhengsheng didn’t stay any longer and drove away. The sleeping Qin Wenqian was carried upstairs by Darna, but because Xian Guiying told her to send the child to the master bedroom, she directly took the child to the master bedroom instead of the children’s room.

Xian Guiying couldn’t sleep, even though she was tired. She went to take a bath and rest early for the child in her belly, but no matter what, she couldn’t fall asleep.

​​

Standing in front of the french window, the moonlight shone through the bedroom. Her thoughts went from the first time she met Qin Gengxin to now and her eyes slowly fell on Qin Wenqian, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

• • • •

It had been three days and there had been no news from Qin Gengxin.

Living in this once spacious and lonely villa, Xian Guiying suddenly realized that she had made a mistake when she came back to live here. She felt as if everything she had experienced previously was just a dream.

When she woke up, she was still guarding this empty villa, waiting for the person she once loved to come home.

The only difference was that she was pregnant, and she went from Xian Enterprise’s boss to Xian Enterprise’s subsidiary’s manager.

The information regarding Qin Corporation was currently sealed off, and the police could not reveal even a single word. Every day, there were only guesses from the various major television stations on the news, and because of that, the entire Boston business community had a disagreement, but no one was clear on the situation regarding Qin Corporation and Bai Group.

“Manager Xian, these are the photos that were sent from the factory today. The new software that you planned for has been released.”

The subsidiary company had already begun operating two years ago, but the new software had yet to be released. Xian Guiying had only been in the subsidiary for two days, yet it had already been released.

Xian Guiying took the photos, flipped through them twice, and nodded. “Are these all interns from the branch? We have just started, so there is a lot of space to expand this software in the market. With the reputation of Xian Enterprise, the number of people who can try out the software should be very easy to pass. As for the later stages of development, you can ask the operation department to come to see me in the afternoon.” Xian Guiying said as she put down the photos.

The secretary nodded and went out.

Xian Guiying stood in her office, looking out the window at the blue sky and white clouds. Once again, she dialed Qin Gengxin’s number, but his phone was still turned off.

‘Qin Gengxin, didn’t you say that you will never disappear again, that you will never leave us without a trace?’

‘Where are you?’

When she returned to the villa after working, Dalisay and Darna had prepared a sumptuous meal for her, knowing that she was pregnant. Qin Wenqian ate happily as her appetite got better and better, and Xian Guiying would occasionally look out the window while eating the meal with her daughter.

She would often vaguely see a familiar car parked outside and thought that Qin Gengxin had come back, but in the blink of an eye, she only saw a vague illusion.

“Mommy.” Every night before going to bed, Qin Wenqian would ask her with a strange expression, “How come I haven’t seen daddy for a few days? Where did he go?”

Every time the child asked this question, Dalisay and Darna would look towards Xian Guiying in unison.

Everyone was extremely worried and no one knew what exactly had happened, but after a few days, besides the first night, Xian Guiying was no longer overly worried.

She took good care of herself every day. She would eat and sleep. She would go to her current subsidiary company to work. It was as if Qin Gengxin’s disappearance didn’t have much of an impact on her.

Xian Guiying put down the spoon in her hand and looked at her daughter. She smiled and picked up the child’s small bowl, feeding her mouthful by mouthful. “Daddy will come back soon. He said that he would never abandon us or leave Qianqian again. We must trust daddy, right?”

Qin Wenqian nodded vigorously as she ate the rice that Xian Guiying had fed to her mouth.

Xian Guiying knew that there was going to be a tough battle between Qin Corporation and Bai Group. Not only the news regarding Qin Corporation was sealed off right now, but many of the upper echelons of Bai Group had also lost contact with each other.

In other words, it might not be the Bai Group that held the upper hand, and what happened now might not even be certain. Although she was worried, she still had to live a good life for the baby in her stomach, for Qin Wenqian, and also for Qin Gengxin.

Besides, since Qin Gengxin didn’t want her to know, then she didn’t need to investigate any further. She just had to trust him and patiently wait for his return.

On the fifth day, a call was finally made.

“Guiying, I just heard that there’s an ambulance in front of the Qin Corporation Building.”

At that time, Xian Guiying was sitting in her office, checking the documents. After being silent for a moment, she then asked lightly, “Who is the ambulance going to pick up?”

“I don’t know. Little Cai had just returned from handling her matters when she saw the ambulance. When she returned, she spread the word of it, and everyone was guessing what just happened there.”

Xian Guiying nodded and said a few more words before hanging up.

After that, she put down the phone and glanced at the darkened screen. After a moment of hesitation, she decided not to pick it up again.

Every night before she went to bed, she would call Qin Gengxin and Huang Jingguo, but as usual, she couldn’t get through.

Until the tenth day.

Xian Guiying was pregnant for a month and a half and she was preparing to go to the hospital to undergo her first pregnancy test tomorrow. After work ended at 4 PM, she drove back to the villa.

“Madam, I’ll accompany you to the maternity exam tomorrow.” Dalisay walked out of the villa with a fruit bowl in her hand. Qin Wenqian’s favorite food was inside. Seeing that Xian Guiying had returned, she walked up to her and said in a warm tone.

Xian Guiying paused.

Suddenly, she recalled Qin Gengxin’s words. Previously, when she was pregnant with Qin Wenqian, he didn’t accompany her throughout the entire pregnancy. This time, he promised to accompany her during every examination.

Will he go back on his word?

Xian Guiying smiled and said, “It’s fine. I can go by myself.”

“Mommy! Come quickly!” Qin Wenqian was playing around by the side of the pool. She turned around and shouted at Xian Guiying. Her eyes filled with happiness.

Xian Guiying smiled as she walked over and sat by the pool, watching her daughter play with the water.

The next day, Xian Guiying stood on the hospital’s chair, waiting for the nurse to call her out.  She looked around at the women who were either accompanied by their families or by their husbands.

The look of anticipation and apprehension on their faces reminded Xian Guiying of the giant wheel of time from a few years ago when she found out that she was pregnant. At that time, she stood alone in the corridor of the hospital for a very long time.

Everyone thought Xian Guiying had an indestructible shell on her body. They all thought that her shell was very tough, but no one knew how much cold and bone-piercing pain she had felt during those unmoving hours in the corridor.

It was like her favorite story where the mermaid had fallen in love with the price. The mermaid was dancing on the edge of the knife, but the prince didn’t know anything. He just hugged his beloved bride and fell asleep, but the mermaid couldn’t bear to use that dagger to hurt them, but her love was also true love, so why did she have to leave?

Time was terrifying.

At that time, Xian Guiying was at a loss because of the news of her pregnancy and also because Qin Gengxin had always been hiding from her. Now, even though he wasn’t with her, she knew that he loved her.

Thus, even if the other person wasn’t here, she knew that his heart was here.

When the nurse called for her, Xian Guiying slowly stood up and was about to walk inside when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the waiting room entrance.

The footsteps weren’t very heavy, but she unconsciously turned around and saw Qin Gengxin, who she hadn’t seen for a few days, walking towards her.

She stood there blankly for a few seconds until her hand was pulled up and held tightly.
