My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 517 - She's Admitting That She Had Lost

Chapter 517 - She's Admitting That She Had Lost

But all of her attempts went in vain.

Unable to get her hands and feet free, Xian Guiying could only raise her head and glared at Qin Gengxin. "What exactly do you want? Are you going to torture me for the rest of your life? Until then, will you finally be happy?"

"When did I ever say that I was going to torture you?" Qin Gengxin's body was pressed against hers. He lowered his head and stuck closely to her face. Their lips were only two fingers apart and the atmosphere in the bathroom suddenly became strange and warm.

But Xian Guiying could not feel the warmth at all.

"I'm just telling you." Qin Gengxin slowly lifted her chin and stared into her eyes with deep looks. "No matter what you do, I will never fall in love with you."

His words immediately shattered all the pride and arrogance in Xian Guiying's eyes. Her eyes dimmed and a helpless smile appeared on her face. "I know."

She needed two years to realize the reality.

Qin Gengxin did not love her.

Otherwise, how could he be so heartless?

The woman in front of him with dim eyes and a slightly stiff expression was once the powerful CEO of Xian Enterprise that he had led around with his hand. Although Xian Zihao had nurtured Xian Guiying in the past, her wings and personality had been planted by Qin Gengxin.

To this day, Xian Guiying, who once revealed her childish side and innocence in front of him, still didn't want to lower her head in front of him. However, her expression had already betrayed her heart.

She was admitting that she had lost.

Qin Gengxin finally let go of her and whispered with his back facing her, "Grandmother has a stubborn personality. My father normally wouldn't be able to stand her temper, but there's only this old woman at home, and my mom is very filial. That's why she brought my grandmother along with her to Boston. I didn't expect you would be so wronged."

Xian Guiying straightened her clothes and looked at his shoulder. "Honestly speaking, this old woman did that because of you. The harm you've given me is not even a tenth of what she's given me. I'm already used to it."

Qin Gengxin looked at the mirror on the opposite wall, looking at her reflection. "That's right. Whether it is money, beauty, or a n.o.ble ident.i.ty and good family background, you have them all. You, Xian Guiying, have been used to rain and wind for so many years. You already have a heart of iron, so you don't need me to comfort you."

"It doesn't mean that I'm immune."

Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrow and looked at her reflection in the mirror. "Hm?"

"I've done a lot of things in my life. But it doesn't mean I'm not afraid." She coldly looked at him in the mirror. While he was stunned because of her answer, Xian Guiying opened the bathroom door and quickly walked out.

"Guiying, Gengxin didn't say anything to you, did he?" When Qin Xiaowen saw Xian Guiying walking out, he quickly got up, walked over to her, and asked a little stiffly.

Xian Guiying knew that Qin Xiaowen didn't agree with what the Old Woman had just done, yet he didn't want to state it in front of the Old Woman.

She smiled at Qin Xiaowen and shook her head. "No, he went to comfort me. Dad, I'm fine."

"That's good. Gengxin is usually very patient with his mother and grandmother. Perhaps it's because I was busier when he was young, that's why his grandmother doted on him so much."

Xian Guiying nodded and curled her lips.

Dalisay and Darna had prepared a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, Xian Guiying went to her daughter's room. Qin Wenqian was sleeping soundly with a newly bought Barbie doll in her arms.

Xian Guiying's mood became much better because of Qin Wenqian's cute smile. She smiled and kissed her daughter on the forehead, pulling the blanket all over her body before leaving the room.

When she returned to her bedroom and wanted to take a shower, she saw Qin Gengxin was already sitting on the bed. Xian Guiying didn't know when he came in. He sat on the bed, holding a picture of Qin Wenqian and her.

Xian Guiying put her hand that was about to open her s.h.i.+rt down and glanced outside and at the door. After hesitating for a moment, she did not close the door.

"They all rested?" Xian Guiying asked as she watched Qin Gengxin put the photo frame back on the table by the bedside.

"Yes. The child is still sleeping?"

Xian Guiying looked at him for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. She went to the closet and took out her nightgown and said in a low voice, "This is the room you've always stayed in before. You can stay here tonight. I will sleep in the child's bedroom."

As she spoke, she prepared to leave.

However, Qin Gengxin called out to her. As she turned around, he pointed to the small study in the bedroom with his chin. "I'll have to see the report later. You can sleep here."

Xian Guiying knew that if she went to the children's room to sleep and Qin Xiaowen and Mrs. Qin saw it, they would definitely think too much. Qin Gengxin was very polite to her at dinner because he didn't want his parents to be too worried.

Xian Guiying only hesitated for a moment before walking back. Without hesitation, she carried her nightgown to the bathroom, ignoring Qin Gengxin, who was still sitting on the bed.

Steam roses in the bathroom. Xian Guiying's hand caressed the three-centimeter-long white scar on her waist as countless memories swirled in her mind.

It was an ironic contrast to the indifference of today.

Had she really lost Qin Gengxin, who used to hold her hands?

Had she lost herself?

***

Eleven years ago.

Her older brother, Xian Zihao, who was three years older than her, had already graduated from Harvard and established the Xian Enterprise. It was right when he needed help that Xian Guiying, who had originally studied science, went to the United States.

Xian Zihao had arranged a school for her in the United States. According to her own request, she majored in the finance management department.

Xian Guiying, who had just arrived in the United States, was still a naive little girl. She was seventeen years old and at the best of times. Unlike the other children who had left home, she wasn't sad as she was now.

Xian Zihao, who was usually busy, had Zhou Shufen by his side at that time. As for Xian Guiying, although he was also very concerned about her, most of the time, he would just hand her over to Qin Gengxin, asking him to accompany her and showed her the intricacies of the business world for him.

On the first day that Xian Guiying arrived in Boston, it was Qin Gengxin who drove to the airport to pick her up. On that day, she wore a simple and fitting beige sports outfit and Nike sneakers. Her long straight hair was tied back into a loose ponytail.

Xian Guiying remembered the first time she met Qin Gengxin, he was driving an open car. It wasn't the very expensive type, but it was extremely stylish and didn't match with his jade-like temperament. At that time, she was standing outside the airport holding her luggage and looking at the open car in front of her with a face full of astonishment.

"Hey, beauty!" Qin Gengxin took off his sungla.s.ses and smiled at her. He didn't even need to intentionally act cool. Just this casual smile was enough to attract the attention of the surrounding girls.

This was her brother's buddy in America, Qin Gengxin?
