Xian Guiying was standing on the balcony, feeling a little sore in her heart. Suddenly, she felt warmth behind her back and she was pulled into a warm embrace.
"Did you hear that?"
"Well, since you didn't go to the study room after you came back, I thought I came out to check you out."
"When are we going back? Today?"
"Sure, I'll ask Huang Jingguo to book a flight in a bit. It's a little too early. After all, we haven't prepared anything and haven't packed up. We'll leave tomorrow morning. Don't worry, alright?" Qin Gengxin embraced her gently. He knew that while she didn't want to see Old Man Xian, she was also really afraid that he would suddenly leave.
Xian Guiying didn't say anything. Instead, she turned in his arms, and without a word, she hugged his neck. She buried her head in his neck and whispered with her eyes closed, "Am I being too selfish?"
"Everyone has something they can't let go of. This isn't considered selfish. Don't think about it too much." He patted her lightly. "Guiying, Xian Family is your family. I am part of your family too."
Xian Guiying took a deep breath, smiled, and hugged his neck tightly. "Happiness like this should have come earlier. Why make me wait years until I'm old?"
"What old? Why do you women always care about your age? What do you mean by 'old' when you're not even thirty?"
"My 30th birthday is around the corner. I can't hide this age from you any longer."
The corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched. Could it be that this woman, who had never acted coquettishly before, was actually coquettishly flirting with him? Remind him how many of her birthdays he missed after they got married.
He smiled and hugged her tightly. "I know."
Not just her, but their daughter's birthday too.
Just as the two of them were sticking to each other as they stood on the balcony hugging deeply, Qin Gengxin suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to go to Xian Enterprise? I'll see Huang Jingguo in a while, do you want me to send you there?"
"How are you going to give me a ride when your car isn't here?" Xian Guiying pushed him away gently and cast a glance at him. Seeing that he had purposely brought up this topic, she knew that he was still feeling sour. "I've thought about it. I won't be going to Xian Enterprise anymore. I've already called Secretary Dai and let her find time to deliver my things."
Qin Gengxin couldn't help but smile at her. "Why did you change your mind again?"
She immediately rolled her eyes and walked past him into the room. "I'm scared to face this ten-thousand-year-old vinegar pot."
Qin Gengxin smiled. As he was about to enter the house with her, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at his phone, answered it, and replied, "I'll be there in an hour."
After Qin Gengxin left, Xia Guiying sat in her bedroom with a suitcase in her hand while looking at the clothes in the closet. This time, she would most likely go to the Qin Family in G City, so what kind of attitude should she have towards the elders?
Whether it was the Xian Family or the Qin Family, they were both the same family she could not part with, even though she was never ready to return.
And she really did admire her brother. She knew that he couldn't bear to see his parents and grandfather fall sick, but he still stayed at home. After all, he was a man, and he was Xian Zihao.
In comparison, Xian Guiying seemed really unfilial.
Even after Qin Wenqian was born, she never brought the child back to the Xian Family to let them have a look. The only time they saw the child was when she was in critical condition. And that too from afar.
Xian Guiying will never forget the Old Man's eyes at that time. It was filled with deep pain, remorse, and helplessness.

"Boss, Mr. Hendrickson asked me to pass this to you." Huang Jingguo sat in Qin Gengxin's car and handed him a kraft paper bag. "It's not convenient for you to show yourself right now, but there's already movement at Bai Group. If your calculations aren't wrong, this matter will settle in the next few days."
Qin Gengxin opened a brown paper bag and saw information on Bai Group. He then put the information into the glove compartment and looked at the other cars in the parking lot. He smirked. "To think that she thought I was a fool."
Huang Jingguo chuckled. "That's right! Boss, your skills are still better than hers. Mrs. Bai neglected to mention some of your strengths, and she can only fake the fact that you only pulled out those external helpers. Why must she make things difficult for you? Perhaps this will be the end of the Bai Group?"
Qin Gengxin, however, indifferently looked at the car that had just entered the parking lot. "Those assigned to monitor my movements are gone?"
"There's another one in the planning department."
"Alright, don't touch him. Let him keep in touch with Mrs. Bai. I need to make a trip back to my home country, and I estimate that it will take me at least ten days to half a month to return. Since they thought I was lost, create an illusions first."
"They're even starting to spy on me now. I think Mrs. Bai is still suspicious."
"This old fox is very cautious. I only acted for a few days, so of course, she wouldn't believe me." Qin Gengxin said indifferently, "Try as best as you can to solve the problem there before the Bai Group forced entry into Qin Corporation."
"I know." Huang Jingguo nodded. "But boss, if you're not here, I'm afraid there might be a change ..."
"There won't be any change for now. Mrs. Bai will be more careful than anyone else. She will observe the situation for at least another month and will not make major movements right away. This is the right time for Qin to counterattack. I have arranged everything, you just have to follow my instructions. As for me ... " Qin Gengxin stopped, raised his head, and looked coldly at the camera peeking at the car. He grinned, then looked at Huang Jingguo. "I have more important things to do."
"What's more important than the company?" Huang Jingguo asked in confusion. Then, he suddenly thought of Xian Guiying and looked at him in surprise, "Boss! Could it be …"
"Besides my family, my wife, and my child, what else could be more important than this?" Qin Gengxin glanced at him and remembered that Huang Jingguo was the one who kept nagging him all day. Now, he, Qin Gengxin, could actually say something like that.
This truly was a turning point for Feng Shui.
He could not help but laugh.
"Alright, I got it, boss! Rest assured and return to your country. I will be here with you!" Huang Jingguo nodded at him.
With a faint smile, Qin Gengxin raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
