Chapter 522 - How Much Longer Do I Have To Be Like This Before You Actually See Me
Since they were in Washington"s downtown, they soon heard sirens from a police car approaching the area. When the men heard the sound of a police car, they cursed while holding their breath and got into the car quickly.
Only one seriously injured man was stopped by Qin Gengxin. After the police arrived, he handed the man over to the police and sent Xian Guiying straight to the hospital.
Although the wound in her waist was indeed only a superficial wound, the wound was very deep and she lost a lot of blood. Qin Gengxin was always by her side during this period.
Xian Guiying could hear him ask the doctor, "Is she really all right? Are you sure there"s nothing wrong?"
She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him while receiving the IV Drop. She had obviously lost a lot of blood, but when she opened her eyes and looked at him, she discovered that Qin Gengxin"s face was paler than hers.
Was he afraid something would happen to her?
Xian Guiying was clearly in pain, but she was still grinning from ear to ear when she saw Qin Gengxin holding her hand. She felt a strong warmth in her heart.
Since it was a superficial wound, Xian Guiying was able to be discharged from the hospital quickly. She was nearly kidnapped in Washington, thus she decided to go to a women"s defense cla.s.s and learned Taekwondo and other women"s defense skills for more than a year. Although she cannot be considered proficient in martial arts, those skills can still be helpful in times of crisis.
She didn"t want to implicate anyone. Even when she was in danger, she wanted to fight alongside other people and not be protected behind their backs.
Qin Gengxin continued to bring her to various events and the two of them were getting closer, but from beginning to end, their relationship was still the same.
Until the year when Chairman Bai"s daughter, Bai Nuying, celebrated her eighteenth birthday. Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin went to Bai Nuying"s aging ceremony together. At the banquet, Bai Nuying kept pestering Qin Gengxin and looked at Xian Guiying as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Once the banquet reached the peak, Bai Zongying directly asked Qin Gengxin to dance with her daughter. At that time, Qin Gengxin was also shocked by the sudden request, but he was calm and composed when he looked at her.
Xian Guiying originally thought that Qin Gengxin would not agree to Bai Zongying"s request, but she didn"t expect that when Bai Nuying used her gentle voice to ask him to dance with her, he didn"t refuse.
On one hand, Xian Guiying wanted to sever this relationship between the two of them, while on the other hand, she knew that Qin Gengxin did this because of the cooperation between Qin Corporation and Bai Group. She didn"t want to affect the initially good relationship between these two companies.
She wasn"t in a hurry at all. She always believed that there would always be a day when she would be able to reach her destination. She would be able to capture his attention once the right time comes.
It was only that day that Xian Guiying realized that Qin Gengxin was not a bird in a cage. His sky was wider than hers and there were so many women that adored him.
Tonight, Qin Gengxin would rather be with Mrs. Bai"s most beloved daughter.
If she continued to waste time like this, Qin Gengxin"s marriage to some famous young miss might just be the end result. It would be too late by then.
Looking at the couple on the dance floor, Xian Guiying could only sit on the chair not far away and remained silent for a long time.
When Qin Gengxin sat next to her, he noticed that her expression was not very good. When he was about to touch her forehead to check the temperature, Xian Guiying lightly turned her face away.
"What"s wrong?" Qin Gengxin immediately sat up straight and looked at Xian Guiying"s grim expression. He smiled and asked, "Our Little Ying is rarely in a bad mood. What"s with the long face?"
Xian Guiying didn"t want to speak at that time as Qin Gengxin had never played around with a woman in front of her before.
He playfully tapped on her cheek. "Who dares to make our beauty angry? Tell me, I will help you seek justice!"
"I"m not feeling well." Xian Guiying didn"t want to make the people around her unhappy just because of her mood, so she found an excuse to stand up and leave with her bag.
Qin Gengxin also stood up, looking at her fleeting figure. He hesitated for a moment, then chased after her. Xian Guiying only slowed down when she was outside.
Actually, in her bones, there was cowardice that even she did not discover.
Now she had found out.
Everything she liked and loved had to be given to Cui Luixian since she was young. No matter what it was, she had to humbly give it to someone else.
Xian Guiying had been in love with Qin Gengxin for so many years, but she didn"t dare to say anything because she was afraid that their relationship would be affected.
"Guiying!" When Qin Gengxin came out and saw her standing on the side of the road in a daze, he walked closer. It was a bit cold in New York at the time, and even at night. He stood next to her, looked at her, then took off his coat and put it to her shoulder.
Xian Guiying stood in her original spot without moving for a long time. Finally, she turned around and looked at him with her bright eyes.
Seeing that she wanted to say something, Qin Gengxin didn"t say anything and just looked at her, patiently waiting for her to say something.
"Just a sister?" Xian Guiying slowly whispered.
Qin Gengxin was stunned for a moment. As he looked at her, his gaze changed into deeper and shallower. It was as if some kind of realization had struck his heart.
"Is it possible for you to be warm with any woman? Even an eighteen years old little girl can dance with you in front of others, but I can only be a little sister, or can only be a business partner who comes and goes with you on various occasions. It"s been so many years, Qin Gengxin. I felt that the reason why you could control this degree of power so well was not because you didn"t know that I like you. It was because you are so confident that my feelings for you will disappear as time pa.s.ses by."
Xian Guiying looked at his face, gauging his feelings. In the deep of night, under the streetlights, his face was still handsome as before. She looked at him like this, then her lips curved slightly as she tilted her head and smiled at him.
At that time, Qin Gengxin seemed to have lost his words for the first time. He actually hasn"t said anything in a long time. Seeing her crooked smile, he said hesitantly. "Guiying…"
"How much longer do I have to be like this before you actually see me?" She asked.
This wasn"t the first time Qin Gengxin heard a woman"s confession and he"s already an experienced person. If there were other women, he would have rejected them carelessly, but when facing Xian Guiying, he expressed a sense of seriousness.
"It"s too cold outside. Let"s go back first, I don"t want you to get a fever and sick." Qin Gengxin suddenly changed the subject. He turned around and walked to the parking lot not far away.
Xian Guiying didn"t stubbornly stay on the spot. She turned around and followed him from behind. On the way back to the hotel, Qin Gengxin kept driving quietly. Unlike before, he didn"t have much to say to her tonight. The journey back to the hotel was accompanied by silence.
"How long did you know about this?" Xian Guiying shifted her gaze from the window to his side face.
Qin Gengxin didn"t seem to like this topic. He just quietly held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead. After so long, he said, "I only found out a few months ago."
A few months ago…
It seemed that when his friends were talking about her, whenever they teased him, coupled with the fact that Xian Guiying had long been by his side, sensitive people can tell that she liked Qin Gengxin. Surely someone must have told him about this.
Looking at his side face, Xian Guiying suddenly smiled and leaned her head towards him. When she leaned against him, it was very light and would not affect his driving.
Xian Guiying thought that Qin Gengxin would consider accepting and not rejecting her, but a few minutes later, he raised his other hand and slowly moved her head away. He looked at her and said softly, "Don"t move around recklessly, sit still."
Xian Guiying wasn"t a fool. If she could not see this kind of polite rejection, then her years of knowing him would be in vain.
She just stared at him. "Why?"
