Chapter 546 - Qin Wenqian Meet Her Father II
Xian Guiying turned around and leaned back against the bed, looking down at the smiling Qin Wenqian, who was under Qin Gengxin"s arms.
At first, Xian Guiying didn"t know how to let her daughter know that the man in front of her (Qin Wenqian) was her father. Her father, who hadn"t returned to see them in the past two years. She worried her daughter would be in shock, fearing this scene was not appropriate for her to be told, but since Darna had said so, Qin Wenqian seemed to accept it quickly, with no signs of fear of strangers appeared on her face.
When Xian Guiying saw Qin Wenqian curled up in Qin Gengxin"s arms, she smiled sincerely from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Wenqian"s eyes widened as she lay in Qin Gengxin"s arms. She stared at her father"s face without blinking, as if she couldn"t bear to blink. When her eyes began to ache, she blinked once and continued to stare.
"Qianqian." Xian Guiying smiled and looked down. "Daddy drinks a lot tonight, so now that he"s sleeping soundly. He doesn"t know you"re by his side, so maybe he"ll push you when he"s asleep. Mommy will take you to your room to sleep, okay?"
"No, I want to sleep with mommy and daddy!" Qin Wenqian immediately hugged Qin Gengxin"s arm and turned to look at Xian Guiying innocently. "Mommy, I want to sleep between you and daddy! This way, we don"t have to cover ourselves with a blanket to keep warm ~~ Heehee ~"
"Daddy is so warm!" Qin Wenqian giggled as she placed her face on Qin Gengxin"s chest with satisfaction. She rubbed it against his chest hard. "Daddy ~ Daddy ~"
Her daughter"s desire for her father was always strong, but she always hid it. Qin Wenqian didn"t show it to Xian Guiying, but she knew that Qin Wenqian really wanted her father.
Seeing how her daughter wanted to stay on Qin Gengxin"s side and was reluctant to move, Xian Guiying didn"t know if she should feel sad or feel happy for her daughter.
At some point, Darna had sneaked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her. Xian Guiying stood next to the bed, looked at her daughter, and then towards Qin Gengxin, who was sound asleep.
"Mommy ~ Mommy, you"re coming too! You"re sleeping here!" Qin Wenqian clapped her hands on the s.p.a.ce next to her and said with a smile, "Come, let"s sleep here. Hug me with daddy ~"
Facing her daughter"s strong request, Xian Guiying just laughed and said softly, "Mommy will take a shower. You sleep first."
Qin Wenqian nodded and stuck her head under Qin Gengxin"s chin, looking like she was getting warmer the closer she got to her father.
Qin Wenqian was indeed afraid of the cold. If the blanket slipped a little while she was sleeping, she would have a fever because she was physically too weak, so when she slept, Xian Guiying would pay special attention to her daughter. She would hug her tightly to keep the child from getting a fever.
If Qin Wenqian were alone in her bedroom, Xian Guiying would get up every two hours to check her daughter"s blanket and tuck her in.
Seeing her daughter so dependent, she turned around and went into the bathroom.
It"s only ten o"clock at night, Qin Wenqian usually sleeps before nine o"clock. Today, this girl may be excited until now, she"s still awake. She was still in Qin Gengxin"s arms with her eyes wide open, sometimes poking her father"s nose, then using her hand that just poked his nose to poke his mouth, then raising her little hand to rub her father"s eyebrow, and once again touched his eyes.
It was as if she wanted to deeply remember her father"s appearance at all costs.
It was as if she finally possessed something she had longed for, for a long time. She had to carry it when sleeping, and she had to carefully look at it before falling asleep. She had to look at it very carefully…
Xia Guiying took a magazine. Qin Gengxin was a little better after vomited. He didn"t go crazy from alcohol, just like before. He might forget a lot of things when he was drunk, but once he fell asleep, he would sleep until the end of the world.
Looking at the way he continued to hug Qin Wenqian, Xian Guiying was curious as to what kind of dream he was having. Was he just carelessly hugging the child as a pillow, or was it something else?
"Mommy ~" Seeing Xian Guiying staring blankly at the magazine, Qin Wenqian raised her head and called to her immediately, "Come and sleep ~"
Xian Guiying came back to her senses and picked up another magazine. She took the two magazines in her hand and walked to the other side of the bed. She glanced at Qin Gengxin, who was sleeping, and then looked at Qin Wenqian before lying on the other side of her.
She propped up the pillow, leaned against the headboard, and patted her daughter"s head.
Qin Wenqian giggled, hugging Qin Gengxin"s neck tightly while turning her small head to ask, "Daddy won"t be gone tomorrow morning, right?"
"Nope." Xian Guiying smiled.
Qin Wenqian was finally able to relax and let go of her little hand that had been hugging her father"s neck all this time. She obediently curled up in his arms.
One hand holding Qin Gengxin, while the other tugged on Xian Guiying"s nightgown. Xian Guiying"s gaze softened as she felt her daughter"s tiny movements. She stretched out her hand and lifted the blanket covering Qin Gengxin and Qin Wenqian.
When Qin Wenqian finally fell asleep, she slowly let go of her grip. However, she was still leaning against Qin Gengxin"s chest,
Xian Guiying got up and turned off the bedroom lights. She switched on the soft light on the bedside table and leaned back in bed, reading a magazine. Since she was usually busy with work, she sometimes reads some doc.u.ments at night, so she was used to sleeping late. Usually, she would only sleep around midnight.
After reading a magazine for more than forty minutes, Xian Guiying rubbed her tired eyes. Putting aside the magazine, she turned to see her daughter and Qin Gengxin. A warm feeling flowed in her heart.
When she lay down, she gently turned around and faced Qin Wenqian, as well as Qin Gengxin.
Under the soft light from the bed, Xian Guiying silently stared at Qin Gengxin"s calm face. Usually, he would be the one leading the crowd. When he"s awake, his appearance was not as beautiful and handsome as the calm and gentle face when he was asleep.
After looking at him like this for a while, Xian Guiying suddenly felt a little confused. She thought of her silent persistence for the past eleven years, and she also thought of how Wei Zhengsheng silently accompanied her every step in these past years.
The person in front of her was her persistent and when she finally chose to take a step back, he suddenly appeared. She was looking for another way out of happiness. But why was she so full of hope now when she saw Qin Gengxin sleeping beside her, quietly hugging her daughter?
Xian Guiying raised her hand and placed it under her cheek. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Qin Gengxin"s face.
This face had once represented an eternal, blissful dream in the most beautiful time of her life. And now, he had finally appeared by her side so peacefully. Even if his mind had been paralyzed by alcohol, this feeling …
Perhaps only a woman who had loved a man as deeply as she had for many years could feel such a feeling.
