Qin Gengxin imitated her and tilted his head. "Hmm?"
Qin Wenqian blinked but did not answer.
Qin Gengxin smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Come here, daddy will analyze this for you."
Qin Wenqian frowned as if she was opposed to his intimate actions. She didn't know if she should push the man in front of her away or not.
"Daddy is Qianqian's real father and mommy's legal husband. As for the word legality, you'll understand it when you grow up and study law. Still, no matter how good Uncle Wei treats you, no matter how much he loves you, he will want another child in the future. He will always be an uncle, not a father, and there is a saying that blood is thicker than water. You can't understand it now, but you will understand it later, OK, spoiled girl?"
Qin Wenqian looked at him with a strange expression but did not say a word.
Qin Gengxin continued patiently, saying, "Baby, daddy will tell you a story. Previously --"
"Do you not like me?" Suddenly, Qin Wenqian asked.
Her words shocked Qin Gengxin, who initially wanted to tell the story to his daughter.
He chuckled before lowering his head to see the little girl in his arms.
Qin Wenqian's eyes widened. "You don't like me and don't want me, right?"
Qin Gengxin looked at her. "Qianqian?"
Qin Wenqian pushed away from his embrace and continued to cling to the wall. Her head was lowered and she said lightly, "My father doesn't like me and doesn't want me, so I don't have a father."
She raised her head and looked at him coldly, saying every word clearly, "Uncle, did you hear me? I don't have a father!"
Qin Gengxin looked at Qin Wenqian's expression and was immediately speechless.
At that time, after he underwent surgery, Wu Boqin had said the lack of fatherly love could affect the child's life from the time they were born to the age of four.
If her father was not there when she desperately needed him, then the child would think that her father didn't like her and would feel inferior for the rest of her life.
Qin Gengxin looked at the child in front of him and said in a very clear voice, "Daddy didn't abandon you."

"Aiyo, Qianqian, grandmother's good granddaughter, is finally willing to come inside."
Mrs. Qin was sitting on the couch in the living room, worried. When she heard the door open, she turned and immediately saw Qin Wenqian enter. Qin Gengxin followed from behind and closed the door.
Mrs. Qin walked quickly and squatted down to carry the child. Qin Wenqian, on the other hand, stepped back and looked at her carefully.
Mrs. Qin's hand froze awkwardly in the air as she looked at the child, who was not very close to her. She thought of the old neighbors who all brought their grandchildren to visit all over the place, and the children were almost the same age as Qin Wenqian, calling them grandparents or great-grandparents.
Qin Wenqian walked around Mrs. Qin and looked around. Then, she walked straight to the couch and climbed on it. Then, she sat obediently without moving.
"This ..." Mrs. Qin stood up and looked back with a surprised look, "Gengxin, what happened?"
Qin Gengxin took off his jacket and handed it to Mrs. Qin, who held out her hand without replying. He walked to the side of the couch and looked at his daughter, who was sitting motionless on the sofa. He sighed before rubbing her head, "Qianqian, what do you want to drink? Daddy will get it for you."
Qin Wenqian turned her head away, to look out the window, still ignoring him.
After being coaxed, the child agreed to follow him inside the house so as not to get sick from being cold. Qin Gengxin knew that he better not be too impatient with sensitive children. Everything he missed and all his shortcomings must be borne, little by little.
Mrs. Qin walked over and looked at the father and daughter duo suspiciously. She reached for the remote on the couch and turned on the TV. She switched it on to the Children's Channel and then put the remote control down.
Of course, as soon as the windmill song started, Qin Wenqian immediately looked at the television. However, Qin Gengxin stood in front of the couch, blocking her sight.
The little thing looked at him, and Qin Gengxin raised an eyebrow at her, clearly doing it on purpose.
Qin Wenqian made a face and reluctantly said, "Cola."
"Children are not allowed to drink Coke."
Qin Wenqian frowned her cute little eyebrows and said, "Then, Sprite."
Mrs. Qin interrupted, "Children also can't drink Sprite."
Qin Wenqian looked at them with her eyes wide open. She pursed her lips and turned her head away angrily. She also didn't watch TV anymore.
Qin Gengxin smiled and exchanged glances with Mrs. Qin. Although Qin Wenqian did not recognize them, Mrs. Qin's heart was still sweet and tender as she looked at the cute little girl in front of her. She looked at the adorable child with soft eyes, but when she thought of the child's mother, her eyebrows furrowed again.
Seeing his mother's mood change, Qin Gengxin didn't say anything. He bent down and took off Qin Wenqian's jacket. "Remember not to stand on the wall in the future. It's full of dust and it sticks everywhere. Also, don't drink carbonated drinks."
With that, Qin Gengxin gave a meaningful look to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin smiled as she went to the kitchen to find Nanny Yuan. When Mrs. Qin came out with a glass of juice, Qin Wenqian had already stripped off her clothes.
Qin Gengxin was just about to take off her last shirt when the little girl turned around and hid in the corner of the couch with her hands crossed. She said uneasily, "Grandma will be back soon. I want to take a shower with grandma at home, I don't want to take a shower here."
"Your nanny shouldn't come back at all." Qin Gengxin said softly as he removed the colorful headband from her head and led the child to the bathroom.
"Let me do it, Gengxin. It's not like you know how to bathe your child, let me do it!" Mrs. Qin quickly put down the juice glass and walked quickly. She reached out to pick up the child.
Qin Wenqian didn't want to shower at all. She struggled in Qin Gengxin's arms and as Mrs. Qin walked over, she screamed and kicked Qin Gengxin's stomach with her small feet, "I don't want to shower! Let go! Let go of me! I'm going home!"
Tears came out of her eyes as soon as she shouted. "I don't want you! I want my mommy! I want my mommy!"
"Qianqian, you're covered in dust. Grandma helped you wash it well with a fragrance shower gel. Grandma won't hurt you, okay?" Mrs. Qin quickly touched the child's face to calm her down.
Qin Wenqian forcefully pushed her hand away and fought hard in Qin Gengxin's arms. "I don't want you!"
Qin Gengxin hugged his daughter and received punches and kicks from the little girl. He hugged her tightly and kissed her on her hair. Then, he whispered softly into her ear, "Qianqian, daddy loves you so much. Don't be like this. Be good."
The dust on the wall on Qin Wenqian's head was already weeding his gray shirt, turning it into a white piece. It's impossible for him to wash it no matter what…
If the little girl didn't take a shower, he knew she would be allergic to dust.
Mrs. Qin reached out to hug the child and suppressed the child's struggle, hurriedly leading her to the bathroom.
When the bathroom door closed, the child's heart-wrenching cry came from inside.
Qin Gengxin stood outside the bathroom and his brows were furrowed even more tightly. He suddenly opened the bathroom door and entered.
