Chapter 406 - Qin Gengxin’s Appearance II
"Ugh! Qin Gengxin!" Jiang Ruolan came back to her senses and rubbed her aching forehead. She couldn"t stop herself from glaring at him. "It"s so painful!"
"When I came that day, Zihao was still in the emergency room. Coincidentally, you fainted, so I only stayed here for an hour. After that, I had something to do with the company, so I left first."
"Yes, it was surprising." Jiang Ruolan nodded honestly and muttered, "I thought you would never want to see me again."
Qin Gengxin immediately rebuked her while laughing, "You don"t have to be so tedious! After what happened to Guiying, if I continued to chase you shamelessly, wouldn"t I be labeled a b.a.s.t.a.r.d?"
After saying that, he looked down at her. After looking at her for a long time, Qin Gengxin finally said in a low voice, "Little Red, your eyes are very swollen. How many days you didn"t sleep?"
Jiang Ruolan smiled and replied, "Don"t worry. My eyes are swollen probably because I cried a few times subconsciously while I was sleeping."
Qin Gengxin pursed his lips and suddenly hugged her. Jiang Ruolan"s entire body stiffened. Just as she was about to push him away, she heard him say. "He has protected you well. You are deeply in love with him now. This hug will be the last time. Silly girl, if you ever feel wronged again, remember that Xian Zihao will always be by your side. I might not be able to accompany you any longer." As he spoke, he held her tightly and rested his chin on her head.
Jiang Ruolan should have pushed him away, but she suddenly thought of what Xian Zihao had said that day. She lifted her head and was about to speak when she saw a familiar figure in the corner of her eyes.
Her expression froze, and she immediately pushed Qin Gengxin away with all her might. She turned her head and called out in a low voice, "Guiying!"
Jiang Ruolan saw Xian Guiying standing alone in front of the elevator with her belly puffed out. Jiang Ruolan had gotten fatter since she was pregnant, but Xian Guiying was even skinnier than before. Only her belly was round, she looked extremely thin.
Qin Gengxin wrinkled his eyebrows as if he did not expect to see someone else here.
Xian Guiying just gave them an indifferent look before handing the fruit basket in her hand to Jiang Ruolan. She said softly, "I am here to see my brother. Help me give him this fruit."
With that, she turned around and walked into the elevator.
"Guiying!" Jiang Ruolan quickly chased after her, but unfortunately, the elevator door was already closed.
Jiang Ruolan immediately pressed the b.u.t.ton. She was confused and afraid that Xian Guiying had misunderstood something. Jiang Ruolan looked back and saw Qin Gengxin standing there expressionlessly.
She immediately became angry and shouted at him, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why aren"t you chasing her?!"
Qin Gengxin slowly walked with one hand in his pants pocket. "Chasing for what?"
"Qin Gengxin! Guiying is going to give birth in a few months, shouldn"t you feel worried about her?" Jiang Ruolan looked at him in disbelief. Was this still the same unruly Qin Gengxin, who could play the role of a perfect lover to every woman?
When did he become so cold and detached?
How could he be so cold?
"If she has the ability to come here by herself, then she has the ability to leave by herself." Qin Gengxin snickered.
When the elevator door reopened, Jiang Ruolan entered with a big step. Seeing that she was determined to chase after Xian Guiying, Qin Gengxin frowned and followed her, but he just followed her without saying a word and immediately pressed the b.u.t.ton on the first floor.
When Jiang Ruolan reached the first floor, she put one hand on her stomach and ran as fast as she could.
"Jiang Ruolan! Why are you running! Have you forgotten that you are pregnant?" Qin Gengxin ran to pull her back, "All right, don"t chase after her anymore. She"s not in trouble yet."
Jiang Ruolan looked up and saw Xian Guiying taking a taxi across the street. She wanted to chase but was stopped by Qin Gengxin. "What do you think of her? Did she misunderstand? Why didn"t you chase and explain everything to her? Aren"t both of you going to get married soon? Qin Gengxin, she"s carrying your child! Why are you so indifferent towards her?"
"Is there any point in explaining it? If she misunderstood, then let her! I prefer you, Jiang Ruolan, to have a relationship with me. I should have made her abort that day! Otherwise, we both would not have reached this stage now!" He sneered.
"You …" Jiang Ruolan raised her hand to slap him, but just as she was about to slap him, she stopped.
Qin Gengxin didn"t move but looked at her coldly.
What right did she have to hit him?
Qin Gengxin had always believed that the person who should be responsible for this misunderstanding was Xian Guiying. If he was always like this, then will Xian Guiying be happy after marrying him?
With Qin Gengxin"s temper, she suspected that he wouldn"t even show up at the wedding!
Jiang Ruolan slowly lowered her hand and turned her head away in discomfort, watching Xian Guiying"s car disappear into the traffic.
"Guiying is not as strong as you think she is. Qin Gengxin, how much do you know about what happened to her when she was young? When you first met her, she was Xian Zihao"s younger sister who had just been brought to the United States. Under his guidance, she handled Xian Enterprise and worked hard to make your mall project successful. You never saw her in a weakened state." She looked at the traffic flow and mumbled.
"Do you think that every woman who fights for power has a heart of steel? A woman like that, no matter how strong her outer appearance is, her inner heart is still very fragile. She was just like me, covering herself in a hard layer of the sh.e.l.l. I know you are angry. I know you don"t want to get married to her, but can you stop for a moment and look at her carefully? She is so beautiful, proud, and amazing woman. She loves you so much."
"If you really don"t like her at all, you wouldn"t take the initiative to propose marriage. You"re just angry, but Qin Gengxin… Don"t use this opportunity to take revenge. Don"t wait for the day you lose her for you to regret it."
At this moment, Qin Gengxin"s mobile phone rang. He glanced at Jiang Ruolan indifferently, then picked up the phone. He frowned and said, "I"ll go now."
After that, he hung up the phone and said lightly, "There"s something I need to deal with at the newly invested company. I"ll go first." With that, he walked to the red Ferrari by the side of the road.
Jiang Ruolan was anxious right now. She just stared at Qin Gengxin"s car and was about to pick up her phone to call Xian Guiying. However, when she picked up her phone, she caught a glimpse of a car parked by the side of the road.
The two people getting out of the car made her eyes widen.
Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian?
What were the two of them doing here at this time?

[Who do you think is wrong in this matter?
Is it Xian Guiying or Qin Gengxin? Should Jiang Ruolan get involved in this?
And what does Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian want? What is their purpose?]
