Chapter 574 - How Is Your Relationship With Jiang Ruolan
Xian Guiying put down the utensil in her hand. She smiled, got up, poured some scented tea for Mrs. Qin, and then poured some sour and sweet juice into Qin Wenqian"s gla.s.s beside her. As she poured, she said, "His injury had indeed recovered a long time ago."
Mrs. Qin looked at her doubtfully and turned her head to look at the Old Woman.
The Old Woman didn"t say anything. She just sipped the soup and suddenly said, "Gengxin, grandma remembers that you had a birthmark on your b.u.t.t when you were young. I haven"t seen it since you grew up. It is still there?"
After saying that, the Old Woman did not wait for Qin Gengxin to speak and looked directly at the calm Xian Guiying, "Grandson"s wife, how big is his birthmark now? I haven"t seen him for decades. I miss the sight of him walking around naked in front of me."
Xian Guiying gaped. How would she know if Qin Gengxin had a birthmark on his b.u.t.t?
On that night in the hotel a few years ago, she hadn"t been able to clearly see what he had on him, let alone in that place.
However, after being married for two years, if she didn"t even know what birthmark her own husband had, then it really wouldn"t be justified.
Just as she was about to respond, Qin Gengxin secretly tugged on her clothes.
She then quietly sat back down and turned to look at him. Seeing that his eyes were fixated on an empty plate on the table opposite her, she paused for a moment and immediately understood what was going on.
In the blink of an eye, she smiled as she looked at the Old Woman and Mrs. Qin, who were deep in thought.
"Grandmother, did you remember wrongly?"
Mrs. Qin"s elegant eyebrows furrowed, and she smiled as she lowered her head to continue feeding Qin Wenqian The Old Woman also glanced at the empty plate they had just been looking at and said nothing. After a while, she said, "That"s probably because I"m too old to remember it properly."
The Old Woman was really testing her out!
Xian Guiying quietly sighed in relief. She didn"t know how the Old Woman found out, but apparently, she and Mrs. Qin suspected that the couple hadn"t interacted much in the last two years.
Qin Gengxin suddenly took Xian Guiying"s favorite m.u.f.fin and placed it on her plate. "You like to eat this m.u.f.fin, so eat more. It was rare for someone to take care of Qianqian. Since mom is here, you can rest."
His voice was filled with concern and the warmth and tacit understanding between husband and wife.
Xian Guiying really liked eating meat and egg m.u.f.fins, and it was something that Qin Gengxin knew many years ago. She nodded and smiled at the Old Woman, who was looking at her, then picked up the fork to eat the food in front of her.
"Speaking of coincidence..." After feeding Qin Wenqian, Mrs. Qin was finally ready to give the child to Qin Xiaowen and let him play with her. Then, while drinking fragrant tea, she looked at Xian Guiying and said, "Your sister-in-law Jiang Ruolan used to be a neighbor of our Qin Family. I would never have thought that a child who has suffered since she was young would have good luck when she grows up and be able to marry Zihao."
Upon hearing his mother mentioned this matter, Qin Gengxin"s eyebrows furrowed and he frowned slightly. "Mom."
Mrs. Qin acted as if she didn"t hear his son, "I remembered Gengxin always playing with her when they were young, and he was still thinking about her even when he was an adult. I never expected that in just a few years, Ruolan would become his sister-in-law."
Xian Guiying smiled. "Yeah, there are a lot of things that we can"t predict in advance."
"But come to think of it, Gengxin seemed to have been obsessed with the girl for years. Once we heard he"s going to marry, dad and I sighed in relief. Guiying, how is your relationship with Ruolan? This matter doesn"t affect your relationship with her, right?"
"No, I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law and we often talk on the phone. For the past two years, because of my brother"s health, she hasn"t had much contact with the Xian Family. Anyway, my brother is going home soon, so we will definitely keep in touch with each other in the future." Xian Guiying replied with a smile.
Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows. "How rare."
Xian Guiying only smiled and noticed Qin Gengxin put down the spoon, not saying a word.
She looked at him, but he did not look at her.
Jiang Ruolan. This name was the biggest gulf between the two of them. Xian Guiying didn"t know how much Qin Gengxin loved Jiang Ruolan and even now, when she was already married to Xian Zihao, Xian Guiying still didn"t know. Still, she knew that for someone like Qin Gengxin to endure it until now, it was probably because he really loved Jiang Ruolan.
This love made her jealous, and it made her hate Jiang Ruolan, but it was only for a moment.
Xian Guiying didn"t hate Jiang Ruolan because she knew that she didn"t lose. Even if she lost, she was only losing Qin Gengxin"s feelings. But she didn"t lose to Jiang Ruolan because, in the end, she still married him.
Mrs. Qin said this on purpose, probably trying to test their feelings. Afterward, Qin Gengxin talked to Qin Xiaowen about the company. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so Mrs. Qin seemed to have allayed her suspicions.
Mrs. Qin carried Qin Wenqian to their room to sleep tonight. Qin Wenqian reluctantly agreed to sleep with her grandma and she didn"t want to at first, but when Mrs. Qin said she would tell her stories at night, Qin Wenqian obediently staying silent in her arms.
When Xian Guiying came out of the bathroom, she saw Qin Gengxin smoking on the balcony.
She wiped her hair and walked over. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard faint sounds coming from outside before she could open her mouth.
She looked at the door with suspicion.
Qin Gengxin also turned around and looked at the door, then at Xian Guiying, whose hair was still dripping with water.
"They …" She whispered.
"Grandmother is suspicious. She"s probably eavesdropping." Qin Gengxin pinched the cigarette and said disapprovingly.
