Chapter 586 - Do You Know The Person Name Bai Nuying
On the other side of the door, the smile on Xian Guiying"s face had already disappeared the moment she walked in. She leaned against the door with a stiff look in her eyes, and after leaning against the door for a long time, she let out a long sigh.
She walked over to her desk and turned on her computer. She opened a traveling website and scrolled through it.
The peach blossoms in southern China have bloomed and were very beautiful.
It seemed like it had been a long time since she had returned home, and it had been a long time since she had gone to the south to look at Jiangnan"s peach blossoms.
Qin Wenqian had never seen it either. That girl should like it a lot.
A world without a father was the only injustice she had ever done to her daughter.
Closing the website, Xian Guiying"s eyes focused on the sunset outside the French window.
That night, Qin Gengxin did not return. Xian Guiying first returned to her bedroom to rest after accompanying her parents-in-law and the Old Woman.
Qin Wenqian was sitting on the bed, playing with a toy that Qin Gengxin had bought earlier.
Rather than saying that he bought them, it would be better to say that he brought Bai Nuying along with him and she helped him choose the children"s toys and gifts.
Looking at the building blocks and the doll beside her, Xian Guiying didn"t pick up those things and throw them out. She"s not a petty person, and she didn"t want to scare the child, nor did she want to make Qin Wenqian hate her father just because of her (Xian Guiying) discomfort.
Xian Guiying just looked at the magazine in her hand from time to time, then looked at Qin Wenqian, who was playing enthusiastically. She casually asked, "Qianqian, do you like daddy?"
Qin Wenqian didn"t seem to hear her question. She kept stacking bricks. However, she turned to look at Xian Guiying with a curious expression. "Mommy, I didn"t hear it clearly."
Just as Xian Guiying hesitated whether she should ask it again, her phone on the nightstand vibrated. A text came in and she opened it.
It was from Qin Gengxin. "I won"t return tonight. I have something to do. You rest early."
He had never been in the habit of texting or being this patient. He had been like this for the past ten or so years, it was rare for him to send her a text message.
Xian Guiying just looked at the message before putting her phone aside and ignored it.
The phone became quiet and there"re no more messages coming in.
Xian Guiying had always felt that Qin Gengxin"s feelings for her were not as modest and straightforward as they seemed to be. He had been good to her for so many years, had been patient with her, and just as he had said, Xian Zihao was not the person who can decide for him, so there was no need for him to treat her like that just because of a few words of advice from her brother.
If he didn"t have feelings for her, based on his personality, he definitely wouldn"t have treated her like that.
Because of this, even though her heart was cold, even though she was sad, even though she had thought of giving up, in her heart, she had always believed that there was still that trace of love.
And seeing Bai Nuying standing by Qin Gengxin"s side and seeing how he could smile indulgently and patiently at another woman, it gave a great blow to her heart.
That was why she suddenly asked him if he had ever loved her in these eleven years, even for a moment.
But he did not answer.
All the hope in her heart was extinguished in the blink of an eye. So she"s the only one who had crawled into a path that was too far away. The road was too quiet and she finally reached the end.

In the next two days, Xian Guiying went to Saipan and stayed there for two or three days before returning to Boston. By the time she returned, Qin Xiaowen, Mrs. Qin, and the Old Woman had already left.
During this time, Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin were both very busy.
When Xian Guiying returned from Saipan, she packed her bags and planned to take Qin Wenqian home this weekend, bringing her to see peach blossoms in Jiangnan as well as visit Jiang Ruolan and her two adorable little nephews who she had never met before.
On Friday, Xian Guiying had just finished her meeting and was taking advantage of her free time to plan out her vacation when she received a call from someone in the Secretary Room.
"President Xian, a woman who looks to be in her early twenties, is standing in front of our company"s entrance, saying that she wants to see you. The front desk staff said that she couldn"t meet without an appointment, but she drove her car directly onto the front steps of the company and said her name was Bai Nuying. Do you know her? If you don"t know her, or if she"s here to cause trouble, I"ll call the security guards!"
Secretary Dai"s angry voice echoed loudly in the silent office.
Xian Guiying stopped what she was doing, got up, and walked to the French window to look down. From above, she could vaguely see a small red sports car parked in front of the company entrance, but she couldn"t see the person.
She knew the sports car very well.
"How long has she been at the door?" Xian Guiying asked.
"According to the staff at the front desk, she had been there more than ten minutes. We should have immediately called the security guards and kicked her out to prevent a commotion from happening. Do you know her?"
"I don"t know her." Xian Guiying said firmly as she sat down at her desk.
"Alright then. I"ll call the security guards."
When the call ended, Xian Guiying remained silent before she continued scrolling the website. However, five minutes later, the noise downstairs continued.
Her cell phone suddenly rang and she picked it up only to see it was a call from an unfamiliar number. Xian Guiying pondered for a moment, then got up to look down again. Sure enough, she saw Bai Nuying was standing on the other side of the red sports car.
Xian Guiying didn"t know where Bai Nuying got her number from. She didn"t want to bother with her. She kept looking down and watching the scene. Bai Nuying refused to leave even after security guards pushed her to the car. The phone kept ringing.
Xian Guiying looked down at the number.
After looking at the number, she realized that the number was actually similar to Qin Gengxin"s number. Only two numbers at the end were different.
She knew that not everyone could get his private number. Clearly, Bai Nuying had spent a lot of effort just to find this number that was similar to his.
Xian Guiying was astounded by the way Bai Nuying used to enter that man"s world.
However, looking at the way, her love must be equal to the depth of Xian Guiying"s love for Qin Gengxin.
Was that why her relationship ended up like this? Was she really too pa.s.sive all these years?
