Chapter 654 - She Didn’t Need Him To Be Responsible

He picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a text from Xian Guiying.

Qin Gengxin paused, pulled his hand from his forehead, and immediately unlocked his phone.

'Take care of my daughter. Don't let her run away.'

When Qin Gengxin saw her message, he immediately sat up straight.

It was clear that Xian Guiying had long guessed that he lived on the other side.

Qin Gengxin wanted to reply, but after tapping the screen, he pressed the delete button repeatedly.

Finally, he tossed the phone to the side and raised his hand to rub his forehead.

The text message was from a woman who did not give him any chance to reply normally. 

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone again. 

Damn, at the moment, why should he care about his face?

Since she sent this message, it meant she wasn't so disgusted with his presence. Furthermore, she didn't appear as angry as when he was in the shop.

So Qin Gengxin held up his phone. Originally, he wanted to edit the text, but he decided to call her after a moment of hesitation.

Xian Guiying had no appetite to eat dinner, but she finally agreed to eat after Wei Zhengsheng's persuasion.

Before Wei Zhengsheng went out to buy food, she had already sent the message to Qin Gengxin. Actually, she could not have sent it, as she knew he would take good care of the child.

After that, Wei Zhengsheng told her to lie down and rest. His phone was running out of battery and was being charged on the small drawer next to her bed. Then he just took Xian Guiying's phone with him in case she wanted to call him if something happened.

As soon as Wei Zhengsheng walked out of the hospital, Xian Guiying's phone suddenly rang. Although he didn't know Qin Gengxin's number, he was able to guess who the caller was when he saw a string of unfamiliar numbers. "Hello?"

Qin Gengxin was about to open his mouth, but he heard Wei Zhengsheng's voice on the other side of the phone, he immediately sat back down as he was about to get up from the couch.

Seeing that there was no response from the other side, Wei Zhengsheng said as he walked, "President Qin?"

"It's me." Qin Gengxin said indifferently, "Why is her phone with you?"

Wei Zhengsheng chuckled, "My phone ran out of battery. I left it in the ward to charge."

While this reason was very plausible, Qin Gengxin was still outraged by the act of using other people's phones casually as if they no longer had privacy. However, he suppressed his anger forcibly.

"How is she?" He asked softly.

Wei Zhengsheng entered a restaurant across from the hospital. "A little concussion," he explained over the phone. "The doctor said it wasn't a big deal, but I plan to take her to get an X-ray tomorrow to make sure there's no problem."

With that, he ordered some dishes from the restaurant owner.

The dish ordered by Wei Zhengsheng was exactly Xian Guiying's favorite food.

While he was ordering the meal, Qin Gengxin's heart was already aching all over the Pacific Ocean!

"Wei Zhengsheng, are you sure you want to take advantage of me like this?" Qin Gengxin sourly said, "Your boss must be very ashamed of your actions!"

Wei Zhengsheng laughed, "My boss? He must be glad I took care of his sister."

"F*cking Xian Zihao." Qin Gengxin gritted his teeth as he tried his best to calm himself and said softly, "What did he say to you? He agreed to his sister's divorce and let her be with you?"

Wei Zhengsheng just smiled and didn't reply.

"Is that bastard planning something against me? He wants to tear down my bridge too?" The more Qin Gengxin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"He is your brother-in-law. You really shouldn't have asked me." Wei Zhengsheng smiled. "Is there anything else you want me to convey to her?"

Qin Gengxin immediately hung up the phone and threw it away. He was so angry that his head hurt. He covered his head with his hands and sighed.

"Son ..." Mrs. Qin had just entered the bedroom to examine Qin Wenqian. When she came out, she saw Qin Gengxin sitting on the couch, sighing sadly. She walked over and asked, "What happened to you?"

"I'm fine." Qin Gengxin said weakly, "I've done it myself."

Mrs. Qin walked quickly and sat across. "What's wrong? Is that woman still with the Wei guy? What did that shameless woman say to you?"

Qin Gengxin glanced at Mrs. Qin and stood up, returning to his bedroom without a word.

As soon as he closed the door, the anxiety and doubt in Mrs. Qin's eyes as she sat in the living room were gone. She just looked at the tea table and thought back to what had happened years ago.

The Xian Family ...

Mrs. Qin leaned back on the couch and hadn't said anything for a long time.

Indeed, if Xian Guiying's stomach wasn't that big, how could she possibly enter the door of the Qin Family?

• • • •

Xian Guiying lay alone on the bed. Wei Zhengsheng's cell phone was being charged and there was a small red light flashing on it. In the darkened room, she looked at the moonlight outside the window.

Mrs. Qin's attack was as if she wanted to beat her to death. If she had had a brick in her bag at that time, Xian Guiying would have been lying in the funeral parlor by now.

She thought of the disgusted expression Mrs. Qin had given her today. She was also thinking about how Mrs. Qin and the old woman had made things difficult for her back in the United States.

Xian Guiying had never been able to figure it out. Previously, she had heard that the Qin couple were famous for being kind and loyal. Mrs. Qin believed in the Buddha, and although she was shrewd, she was also strong and kind. Qin Xiaowen was kind to everyone, so how could a couple like this make things difficult for their daughter-in-law?

She vaguely remembered the scene before she and Qin Gengxin got married.

*Flashback*

Xian Guiying wanted to drive away after running out of the building behind the Xian Family's Residence, but she accidentally caused an accident. Qin Gengxin was the first person to rush to get her out of the car. Her stomach was already so sore that she couldn't tell who the person helping her was.

She instinctively wanted to struggle, but Qin Gengxin held onto her waist tightly, preventing her from getting hurt from struggling too hard.

Qin Gengxin carried her inside the house and put her on the bed. The pain in Xian Guiying's stomach had already been somewhat relieved. Zhan An told Nanny Cheng to call Dr. Li. 

Xian Guiying was lying on the bed with Qin Gengxin sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her.

She instinctively grabbed a blanket to cover her stomach. At that time, she had been hiding in the East and was under a lot of pressure. Due to her lack of nutrition, her body was rather thin. 

Qin Gengxin watched her. This was the first time in a long time that they were both locked up in a room like this. He just looked at her with a complicated look that made her not understand if it was hatred or something else.

Still, she was able to tell that he had personally mentioned the marriage in front of her grandfather, not because he loved her, but because of the responsibility.

That was why Xian Guiying had rejected the marriage.

She didn't need him to be responsible. She never did.
