Chapter 552 - Be Careful With Wei Zhengsheng

Qin Gengxin immediately looked up at him. When he saw the gossipy look in Huang Jingguo's eyes, he frowned, "You ..."

He wanted to ask how he knew, but considering Xian Guiying had lived there for two years, and he was sent there by this brat last night, it was natural for him to know about this.

Therefore, Qin Gengxin just looked at Huang Jingguo and said lightly, "Give me the minutes of the meeting."

"Oh." Huang Jingguo quickly walked forward and placed the folder in his hand on the table next in front of Qin Gengxin.

"I have to leave the company early this afternoon. Check this matter with the Vice President. I've checked it out and found no difference. Let him take full responsibility for this case." As he spoke, Qin Gengxin took a seat on his chair.

"This afternoon?" Huang Jingguo was stunned.

"Why?" Sensing there was something wrong with his voice, Qin Gengxin looked up.

Huang Jingguo immediately scratched his head. "Boss, I was just about to tell you, I want to take a leave of absence this afternoon. I have something urgent to deal with at home."

Huang Jingguo rarely asked for leave, as he had always been Qin Gengxin's assistant. Qin Gengxin was a little surprised by his sudden request, but he just looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My wife is pregnant." Huang Jingguo's face suddenly lit up. "You also participated in our wedding two years ago. She finally got pregnant. It's been three months and I want to bring her to the hospital for her checkup."

Although Qin Gengxin didn't know much about the maternity checkup, he could vaguely guess what it was. Although he didn't intend to force him to stay for work, he continued to casually ask, "If it's just for a checkup, can't your parents accompany her?"

Huang Jingguo smiled. "Firstly, she is my wife. Secondly, she is carrying my child in her womb. Whether it is as a husband or as a father, I don't want to miss every opportunity to be by her side. So... Boss, I may be taking occasional leave of absence in recent months, but I'll try to finish my job when I'm not particularly busy."

Qin Gengxin suddenly stopped browsing the document and just looked at Huang Jingguo.

Huang Jingguo was a bit scared by the stare and could not help but ask, "Boss? You can't be so cruel as to stifle my dream of being a dutiful father, right?"

Qin Gengxin just smiled coldly and leaned back. He casually laid down one hand on the edge of the table and looked at Huang Jingguo's excited but disturbed expression. "You punk, I haven't seen you so nervous in years."

Huang Jingguo immediately laughed. "Boss, this is human nature!"

"Human nature?" Qin Gengxin suddenly remembered the strange feeling he had when he hugged Qin Wenqian this morning.

Maybe.

It was human nature.

He did not speak.

"Boss, you're saying that I'm allowed to go on leave?"

Qin Gengxin swept a glance at him. "Your wife is incredibly blessed right now."

"No, I'm the one who is supposed to be blessed by having her as my wife." Huang Jingguo immediately smiled. "At first, she was very happy, but ever since she carried our child, she started to vomit every day, and after drinking a glass of water, she had to run to the washroom to vomit again. When I go back home from work every night and see her in such a state, I can't bear it."

When he said that, Huang Jingguo's eyes were filled with a bit of heartache and guilt due to being unable to help his wife.

Qin Gengxin only glanced at him for a moment but said nothing. He waved his hand, indicating that Huang Jingguo could go now.

Huang Jingguo nodded thankfully and turned around, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped after a few steps. He turned around and looked at Qin Gengxin, who was quietly sitting on his chair, seemingly to be deep in thought.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Boss, if Xian Guiying is really your wife, then you must be careful with Wei Zhengsheng."

Qin Gengxin glanced up at him. "What do you mean?"

Huang Jingguo hesitated for a moment, as if it wasn't a good idea to discuss about his boss's family affairs but thinking about how drunk Qin Gengxin was last night, even though Xian Guiying asked the servant to help him back to his bedroom, her expression was neither warm, as if she didn't care at all. As if the wife didn't care at all about her husband.

He hesitated again before saying, "I saw Wei Zhengsheng last night."

Qin Gengxin picked up a pen on the side of the table and casually flipped through the proposal. "En, and then?" He replied nonchalantly.

"When I sent you back, he seemed to be visiting your house."

Huang Jingguo stopped talking because he wasn't sure how Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying's relationship were. He also didn't know if Wei Zhengsheng was just having a meal or something else, so he could only say it in such a soft voice.

Qin Gengxin's hand, which in the middle of signing the document, stopped slightly. A moment later, he raised his head and looked at Huang Jingguo.

At this moment, Huang Jingguo's phone rang. When he picked it up, he heard his wife urging him to go back and accompany her for a checkup. He hurriedly smiled as he agreed and left the office.

The office's door was closed and Qin Gengxin was the only one left in the huge office. He lowered his eyes and looked at the proposal in his hand. 

***

At two in the afternoon, Qin Gengxin handed over some of the work he was doing to the Secretary Manager, instructing her to communicate with the Vice President. After that, he was about to go out and drive around to see if there were any toys or gifts suitable for a three-year-old girl.

Just as he took the elevator to the company's underground parking lot, a surprised voice came from not far away. "President Qin!"

Qin Gengxin turned his head and saw Bai Nuying, who had arrived in Boston yesterday.  She was driving a red convertible car and when she saw him, she immediately parked the car in an empty parking space. 

Bai Nuying quickly got off the car in a hurry and ran over while holding up her skirt, nearly stepping on her high heels.

Qin Gengxin immediately went to support her.

Bai Nuying looked up at him with a brilliant smile. "Why are you in the parking lot at this time? Could it be that I've come at the wrong time?"
