Chapter 721 – Untitled
The next day, Xian Guiying was awakened by the sound of the phone beside her bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Gengxin's phone was still ringing. She reached out to take it.
In the end, her habit of going to bed early and getting up early was broken by that beast Qin Gengxin.
She frowned. Seeing that Qin Gengxin didn't seem to be in the bedroom, she directly picked up the phone.
"Boss, there seems to be something wrong with the Bai Group recently. Mrs. Bai had to give up on a direct confrontation with us and she suddenly came back to New York halfway." Huang Jingguo's voice came over the phone.
Xian Guiying was stunned. "Can you find out if she intentionally did this or if something really happened?"
Huang Jingguo was surprised, "Ah, Miss Xian?"
Xian Guiying knew that she had overstepped her authority a little, but since it was related to the safety of Qin Corporation, she was still a little worried. At this time, the bedroom door was opened, and Qin Gengxin came in.
Seeing that he had returned, she directly handed him the phone. "It's Huang Jingguo. I saw the phone ringing, so I answered."
Qin Gengxin took the phone and glanced at her with a smile. Then, he turned around and went out to answer the call.
Xian Guiying was a little confused. Why did he look so strange when he was smiling at her? She couldn't help but touch her face and hair. She got off the bed and ran to the bathroom. Then she saw many faint red marks on her neck and body. It looked very ambiguous.
With a headache, she touched the two noticeable red marks on her neck. Then, she turned around to search for the luggage that she had brought back. She wanted to see if there were turtleneck sweaters or something that could cover the ambiguous marks on her neck.
While looking through the clothes, she cursed, "This damned Qin Gengxin! He's really unreliable!"
When Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin returned to the house in front of them, it was just before lunchtime. The Old Man was sitting in a wheelchair by the French window, and when he saw them entered, he smiled and waved at them. "Guiying, you finally awake. Gengxin said that you were too tired these few days and were still sleeping, so I didn't call anyone to wake you up for breakfast."
Xian Guiying smiled. "It's fine. I slept for the whole morning. I'm not hungry. Grandpa, you have to go out and bask in the sun more often. It's not very useful for you to just sit at a window like this."
"I know. Gengxin pushed me out this morning. I'm tired, so I'll sit here and rest." The Old Man patted her hand gently. "The children are in the children's room. They all came down to play in the morning. Ruolan should be coaxing them for an afternoon nap now."
"I'll go see Qianqian." Xian Guiying smiled and turned around. Qin Gengxin didn't follow her and when he saw Xian Jian was looking at something besides the toy rack, he walked towards him.
When Xian Guiying went upstairs, Jiang Ruolan happened to come out of the children's bedroom with a glass in her hand. When she turned around and saw Xian Guiying, she smiled and said, "You're awake?"
Xian Guiying walked over and smiled. "Have the children taken an afternoon nap?"
"They didn't sleep. The three children were playing together in high spirits. They leisurely clamored for milk, and since I couldn't drink a cup by myself, I shared some of it with them." Jiang Ruolan then raised the milk glass in her hand and said, "They've finished it all. Qianqian is also very willing to drink it."
"That girl is willing to eat anything, no matter if it's food or drink. As long as there's no poison, she doesn't refuse anyone." Xian Guiying smiled and said, "Gengxin and I went to the attic at the back last night and left our child here with you. You probably didn't sleep well tonight, right?"
"No, it's Nanny Cheng and Little Ju who are helping me take care of them. I just woke up in the early morning and came over to play with the kids. They are all very obedient. Nanny Cheng said that they slept very well and that the children did not cause trouble at all at night. Qianqian is also very well behaved. She was tired during the day, so she was the first to fall asleep."
"That's good." Xian Guiying had been worried that her daughter would be unhappy or cause trouble at the Xian Residence, but now she was relieved. She quietly pushed open the door and walked in.
Xian Chiahao was looking at them with an unreadable expression. "You two have been rolling around together for a long time! Aren't you tired?"
The two little girls completely ignored him and continued to roll around on the ground while hugging each other. It was as if they found this very amusing.
Accompanied by loud laughter, Xian Guiying walked in. "Qianqian."
"Mommy ~" When Qin Wenqian heard her voice, she glanced at Xian An Na before turning her head and laughing loudly. The two girls let go of each other, then Qin Wenqian stood up and rushed into her arms. "Mommy, I want to be good friends with Sister An Na and Brother Chiahao!"
"You are originally brothers and sisters, so of course, you are good friends." Xian Guiying smiled as she lightly rubbed Qin Wenqian's small head. "No matter who it was before, you've never been this happy. If you like them, just tell Auntie Ruolan to take them to America."
Xian Guiying was only joking. Qin Wenqian tilted her head and said, "But they said they wanted me to stay."
"In the end, a child has to be accompanied by a child to play with." Jiang Ruolan had just returned from the kitchen to send the glass and came back. She sat on the carpet with Xian Guiying and said softly, "No matter what kind of adult companion she has, it can't replace the childish innocence of children."
Xian Guiying thought about how her daughter had been following her around the United States for all these years and in Wuyuan too. She hadn't made any friends even though she had just entered kindergarten. Due to her poor health, Xian Guiying often forbade her to go out and interact with other children, lest she be infected by some random infectious disease.
Qin Wenqian's resistance was too weak, so she was too careful and protective over her child, resulting in her not having a good friend by her side.
Although the child was still very young, friendship was born at the same time.
Qin Wenqian crawled out from her bosom and turned around to grab Xian An Na's small hands. Xian An Na also happily held her small hands, sitting on the carpet side by side. Then she leisurely pointed at Xian Chiahao and said to Jiang Ruolan, "Mommy, big brother said we're two kids, and he's an adult. He said Qianqian and I are crazy!"
Xian Guiying smiled as she looked at Xian Chiahao.
Xian Chiahao's personality was very quiet and aloof, but this personality was not exactly like Xian Zihao's. Xian Zihao was the kind of person who was quiet but easy-going. In fact, most of Xian Chiahao's personality was like Jiang Ruolan's.
She was a patient person. If it was not really necessary, she would not talk too much and quietly do her own things.
Although Xian Chiahao didn't like having fun with the two little girls, with his temper, he would definitely grow up to be a mature, responsible, and sensible man.
"Chiahao, why don't you like playing with your sisters?" Xian Guiying teased him.
Xian Chiahao was fiddling with the toy car. He looked at Xian Guiying very politely, "Aunt, I don't want to roll around on the carpet with them."
"Boys and girls have different personalities. I'm used to arguing with Chiahao when I'm free. These two siblings are always arguing with each other. If they are not fighting, they are going to be noisy." Jiang Ruolan sighed and said with a smile, "However, although I am always annoyed by these two children, my heart is very comfortable and at ease. At least I know Chiahao will protect An Na and vice versa. Therefore, Guiying, hurry up and get another one."
After going back and forth on this topic, Xian Guiying felt embarrassed and smiled, but she didn't say anything immediately.
She turned her head and watched Qin Wenqian snickered and snuggled into Xian An Na's embrace. Xian An Na stroked her head like an adult before lowering her head to whisper something into Qin Wenqian's ear. Then the two girls giggled and hugged each other on the carpet, rolling back and forth again while laughing louder and louder.
