Chapter 709 - Going Back IV
Jiang Ruolan, who was sitting in the front, looked at Qin Wenqian, who was in Qin Gengxin's arms. "How is Qianqian's body now? She is two or three months older than Chiahao and An Na, but she looks younger than them."
"It's already much better. It's just her body needs more nutrition. As for her weight, I'm worried she's still a little smaller than the two little kids from your family."
"I heard from Zihao about Qianqian being in the hospital a year ago, and I've always wanted to go see her. But Zihao was afraid that if you saw me with my children, you would feel even worse. Guiying, you won't blame me for that, are you?"
"Why should I blame you? I knew you couldn't leave your children behind, and if you brought your child with you, I would definitely feel even more upset by that. However, Sister-in-law, I understand your heart. Don't worry." Xian Guiying smiled.
Jiang Ruolan shot a glance at Qin Gengxin at the same time. When he heard them talk about Qin Wenqian's illness, he fell silent and gently patted his sleeping daughter without interrupting them.
"Does Qianqian recognize you now?" Jiang Ruolan asked him.
Qin Gengxin glanced at her. "Guess?"
"Why should I guess? I don't have time to play your game." Jiang Ruolan rolled her eyes.
"Are you going to guess or not?"
Jiang Ruolan sneered at him.
Xian Guiying was laughing and Xian Zihao looked at Qin Gengxin through the rearview mirror as he drove. "You two quarrel every time you met. Have you thought about how Guiying and I would feel?"
Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Zihao was joking. He knew very well what kind of feelings she had towards Qin Gengxin.
However, Qin Gengxin being himself, he directly said, "Why are you so jealous? Afraid that I would steal your wife?"
"If you want to take me away, you have to ask if I agree or not. There's also Guiying. Have you ever asked her?" Jiang Ruolan said.
Qin Gengxin instantly put his arm around Xian Guiying, who was sitting beside him. He smiled shamelessly at her, "She's my wife; of course she has to follow me."
"Who's your wife?" Xian Guiying glanced at him with a serious expression. "The divorce certificate is still in the drawer."
"Let's go back to the United States and get married again, right away!"
"I don't want to." Xian Guiying didn't give him the slightest bit of face, as if she was jealous of Jiang Ruolan.
Qin Gengxin hugged her tightly and looked at her. "Are you planning to spend the rest of your life with me like this? You intend to go against the law?"
"Who wants to live with you forever -" Before she could finish, Qin Gengxin's burning gaze had already glued to hers. Xian Guiying looked into his eyes and didn't say anything.
Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao exchanged a glance, and both of them smiled.
Xian Zihao first sent them back to the Xian Residence to put their luggage first. After a short rest, Xian Guiying took Qin Wenqian upstairs to play with Xian Zihao's children.
Nanny Cheng had just come out of the children's bedroom. When she saw Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin, she was stunned for a moment. "Young Miss. Mr. Qin."
Although Qin Gengxin never returned to the Xian Residence after getting married, Nanny Cheng still called him 'Mr. Qin' politely even though she didn't like the sound of it. When she saw Qin Wenqian, she immediately laughed. "Aiya, this is Miss Qianqian, right? I saw her in the photo your mother showed to me."
"Nanny Cheng." Xian Guiying smiled and slowly pushed Qin Wenqian forward. "Qianqian, be good. Mommy and daddy need to go with uncle and auntie to meet great-grandfather. Your immune system is weak, so you shouldn't go to the hospital with us. Let Grandma Cheng take care of you. You could play with Chiahao and An Na too."
Qin Wenqian was still a child after all. She was still afraid of strangers, so she hid behind Qin Gengxin's and Xian Guiying's legs.
Nanny Cheng immediately opened the door of the room behind her with a smile and said, "Chiahao, An Na, come out quickly and see who is here!"
Hearing Nanny Cheng's voice, Xian An Na was the first to run out. As she ran out, she was still holding the building block and stood in the doorway with her round eyes looking at Qin Wenqian, who was shyly standing behind her parents. She grinned and asked, "Who are you?"
Qin Wenqian looked at Xian An Na before raising her head to look at her father and mother. "My name is Qin Wenqian."
Xian Chiahao came out, glanced at the person outside the door, then looked at Nanny Cheng. "Grandma Cheng, do you want us to help you take care of the child?"
The corner of Nanny Cheng's mouth twitched. "This is your big sister, your aunt's daughter."
"Chiahao, An Na, come and let auntie take a look." Xian Guiying smiled as she squatted on the ground.
Unperturbed, Xian An Na threw herself at her with a building block in her hand, shouting loudly, "Auntie!"
"This easy-going attitude surely resembles Jiang Ruolan's." Qin Gengxin said with a smile.
Xian Chiahao looked seriously at Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin, then looked at little Qin Wenqian. He thought about it and said nothing but walked over and extended his hand to hold Qin Wenqian's hand. "Little sister, come with me. I'll play with you."
Qin Wenqian's eyes immediately widened and she said, "Mommy said I am the older sister."
Xian Chiahao immediately glanced at her, then took her hand and said, "You are smaller than me, so you are a little sister. Follow me."
After all, Xian Chiahao was a stranger who Qin Wenqian had just met for the first time. Her normally lively and merry appearance immediately disappeared, and her heart was eventually sensitive and fragile.
However, since Xian Chiahao held her, she no longer seemed afraid. As she was taken away, she turned to look at Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin.
"Aiya, stop looking. Adults have their own matters to do." After saying that, Xian Chiahao pulled Qin Wenqian into the room, pointed at a toy carpet on the floor, then pointed at a plastic rope in the middle of it and said, "This side of the rope is my place, and that side is An Na's place. That is our dividing line; we can't cross it. Which side do you want to play?"
Qin Wenqian stared blankly at the toys in the room, then saw the dividing line mentioned and suddenly became happy. She sat on the ropes, picked up a small building block on Xian An Na's side, picked up a toy on Xian Chiahao's side, and said with a smile, "I love it all!"
Xian Chiahao opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was the dividing line and she wasn't allowed to sit there, but seeing how happy Qin Wenqian was smiling, he didn't say anything. He just looked at her for a while, then turned around and pulled the toy case over.
"Thank you!" Sensing his friendly manner, Qin Wenqian was no longer afraid. With a grin, she bared her teeth and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xian Chiahao." Xian Chiahao said while handing the toys to her. "Great-grandfather is sick. Your mother and father must go to the hospital to see him. You can play with us here. An Na and I are going to accompany you."
The two kids chatted passionately; meanwhile, Xian An Na held on Xian Guiying's leg tightly, smiling at her. Then, she saw Qin Gengxin holding a small bag of gifts in his hands. She then went to him and wrapped herself around him, making Qin Gengxin smile.
Then, he looked at Qin Wenqian and Xian Chiahao, who played together, and then looked at the warm little thing at his legs. He knew that Qin Wenqian would not suffer any grievances when she was with these two children, so he felt relieved.

As Xian Zihao drove towards the hospital, Xian Guiying suddenly became silent. She leaned back in her seat quietly and stared out the window.
Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan noticed her silence. They looked at each other and knew that her heart was in turmoil.
While not wanting to see the Old Man and resenting him, she was also worried about him.
Xian Guiying's line of sight remained unfocused until Qin Gengxin gently held her hand as if he was giving her strength. She turned her head, only to see that Qin Gengxin was looking out of the window, not looking at her, but holding her hand tightly.
The silent care warmed her, and she smiled and held his hand tightly.
Xian Zihao glanced at the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but let out a slight smile of relief.
Jiang Ruolan had also seen this.
This made the atmosphere inside of the car seemed very warm. She and Xian Zihao were very good at playing matchmaking, right?
