My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 690 - A Shrewd And Clever Man

Xian Guiying helped Qin Gengxin into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. Then, she called the family doctor's phone number with her cell phone as she walked towards the bedroom door.

"No need to call a doctor." Qin Gengxin said.

Xian Guiying suddenly turned around and glanced at him.

She saw Qin Gengxin looking at her with a pair of cold eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone. "Your fever hasn't subsided yet. I'm not sure to leave you alone at home. It's still better to call the doctor."

Qin Gengxin scoffed. "Wei Zhengsheng is the reason you have to leave, isn't it?"

Xian Guiying's grip on the phone tightened and she was frowning slightly.

Seeing her not answering, Qin Gengxin closed his eyes and leaned on the headboard, saying indifferently, "You can go. There's no need to come here again."

Seeing his face getting paler, Xian Guiying remained silent for a moment before she walked into the living room. She looked at the thermometer on the table next to the couch.

While she was thinking, a notification sound suddenly came from her phone. She tapped on the screen and saw a message from Wei Zhengsheng.

"I'm leaving. You don't have to go back to the apartment. Good luck."

Seeing those simple words, Xian Guying sighed. She sat down on the couch and put her phone and bag next to her. She felt her head, which had been aching since the afternoon, was hurting even more.

Probably because she didn't sleep well last night.

Xian Guiying didn't know what time she woke up, but it was so dark in the living room that she could not even see her fingers. She was about to get up when she suddenly realized she was covered with a blanket.

She picked up the blanket and went to turn on the light. She looked down at the blanket in her hand, then looked at the closed bedroom door.

Xian Guiying slowly got up and was about to open the door when she heard Qin Gengxin's voice.

He appeared to be on the phone.

"Mrs. Bai and her accomplices are reunited. It's time to get rid of the net. Immediately contact the police if there is any movement on Mr. Hendrickson's side."

"Yes, it's time."

Xian Guiying's hand paused slightly as she was about to open the bedroom door.

In the past, Qin Gengxin was a shrewd and clever man. His methods were smarter than anyone else's, and he was exceptionally clever. If he did things in the dark, then he would also be blacker than anyone else. It was very difficult for others to play with him, but if he wanted to play with others, it was as simple as crushing an ant.

Recently, Xian Guiying had always felt that it was strange that Qin Gengxin was going to sell his company, as it was not something he should do at all.

However, when she heard that faint voice from inside, Xian Guiying did not know what he was planning to do, but she could finally relax a bit. At the very least, this means that he hasn't given up.

Xian Guiying looked down at the blanket in her hand, then looked at the time. It was already around 11 o'clock at night. Walking to the window, she saw that the night sky of Boston was brightly lit up, and there were neon lights flashing. She had unknowingly slept on the couch for a few hours. Now that she was no longer sleepy, she simply went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of plain porridge, then sent it to Qin Gengxin's bedroom.

Xian Guiying opened the door and placed the bowl on the bedside table. Looking at the porridge on the bedside table, which had a faint sweet smell, Qin Gengxin said, "If it were twelve years ago, I would never have believed that such a good wife and mother would exist."

But Xian Guiying replied, "Of course, you can't believe it. Even I am unable to believe it, but the fact is, every mother is a superhuman, radiating the infinite potential that is used to raise their own children. After a long time, they will learn everything."

Qin Gengxin didn't say anything else. He looked at the time as well and said, "Since I have a rash, I definitely won't go out and infect others. Why don't you go back and accompany Qianqian."

"My brother is at home. His flight is tomorrow, so he can take care of my daughter for one night. In addition, Qianqian is very fond of being with my brother, so she will not cry even when I'm not there. Eat this porridge first and then sleep well. You have a really bad fever, I'll take care of you here tonight."

Xian Guiying had no intention of hearing his protest, so she went to the closet room. She found slightly smaller long-sleeved pajamas, and when she picked them up, she found there was still a price tag hanging on them.

She rolled her eyes up to the ceiling. She didn't know when Qin Gengxin bought these pajamas, nor did he wear them. No matter how rich he was, there was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful by buying something that people wouldn't wear.

After taking her pajamas, she went to the study room to turn on his computer and find some information, including a few things about the Bai Group. Xian Guiying didn't know what Qin Gengxin wanted to do now. After looking around and asking some good friends of hers about the Bai Group, time quickly passed by. It wasn't until one in the morning when Xian Guiying got up and walked out of the study room.

Qin Gengxin could be considered a well-behaved patient. He was no longer so ruthless that it shocked her. Furthermore, he did not reject or drive her away like he did that day at the Royale Nightclub.

Was it because of an illness?

Xian Guiying stood outside the bedroom door. She opened the door slightly and looked inside. Under the dim light of the bedside lamp, Qin Gengxin was fast asleep.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she immediately closed the bedroom door and quietly walked to the bathroom. Since the light in the living room was connected to the light in the bathroom, as long as the light in the living room was on, the bathroom would also be on. She didn't bring any toiletries, but after being busy all day, she wouldn't be able to sleep until she took a shower.

Xian Guiying tried to minimize the noise in the shower so that she wouldn't wake up Qin Gengxin, and she also had no intention of taking a shower for too long. She picked up some unopened toiletries from the cabinet under the sink.

Xian Guiying didn't know if this was Qin Gengxin's good or bad habit. He didn't use many toiletries, but a lot of new ones were provided at home. He's obviously too lazy to go grocery shopping, so he had to buy "these necessities" for at least three months at a time.

After taking a shower, Xian Guiying took a towel to wipe the water off her body. She picked up her pajamas that hung on the door and was about to put them on.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Qin Gengxin opened the door sleepily and stepped forward.

Xian Guiying's hand that was grabbing her pajamas froze.
