My Little Sweet Wife-Chapter 702 - Say Hi To Daddy
Chapter 702 - Say Hi To Daddy
Seeing that she would rather go to the Qin Family instead of returning to the Xian Family, Qin Gengxin said, "Let's go back to your home first."
Xian Guiying frowned slightly but did not object. She only nodded her head in silence.
"Guiying, Old Man Xian and your father are already old and we really can't change their temperament. If you want happiness and harmony, then you have to be considerate and tolerant. They are your family. Also, we need to face the grudges between the previous generation together, so if you hide and refuse to go back, it won't be easy."
Seeing how serious Qin Gengxin was, Xian Guiying couldn't help but ask, "What grudges do our families have exactly? I know that my grandfather made a lot of mistakes in his youth because of the strength he possessed, but--"
Qin Gengxin said, "Finish your food first. I'll tell you later."
Xian Guiying looked at him calmly. "Speak."
Qin Gengxin thought for a moment and then said, "My grandfather was framed by Xian Tingfeng and was sentenced to prison for his wrongdoings. He spent half his life in prison and finally committed suicide there."
Xian Guiying was so shocked by this. She frowned, "How can that be? Although my grandfather was a bit overbearing because of the power he wielded, he did them for his own family, including the matter with Jiang Ruolan's and Jiang Yijun's mother. He was just a little selfish, so how can't he frame your grandfather? That's impossible."
"Indeed, I have never been able to figure this out. Besides, Old Man Xian doesn't know who my grandparents are, and I don't know if he knows it now either. If he had known who my grandfather and grandmother were back then, even if you were pregnant, he would not have allowed you to marry into the Qin Family."
While Xian Guiying was in shock, he continued, "As for when we got married, my grandmother was so angry that she fainted and was admitted to the hospital. That's why you never saw her. My parents saw how big your belly was, and although my mother was unhappy, she accepted this marriage in the end."
"Actually, Guiying, with my mother's personality, it's reasonable. She didn't want you and Qianqian to suffer because of the grudges of the previous generation, but I know that she would think of my grandfather every time she saw you, which is why my mother treats you badly."
"I understand." Xian Guiying said with a skeptical look on her face. "Why would my grandfather do such a thing? Does this have anything to do with your grandmother?"
"Perhaps, but I'm not sure exactly what it is." Qin Gengxin said.
Hearing him say so, Xian Guiying was even more certain of a guess in her heart. However, she couldn't think of a specific reason for the story of the older generation. She could only hesitantly say, "I wonder if my brother knows about this."
"He should know something or else he wouldn't have concealed the fact that you were in Wuyuan from me back then."
Xian Guiying sighed. "Truly a worrisome old man."

"Uncle, is my mother coming back today?"
Around 1 p.m, Qin Wenqian, who had returned from kindergarten, moved a small stool by the door and waited there. After waiting nearly an hour, she couldn't help but run into the study and stand by the door to ask.
Xian Zihao was replying to some domestic emails on his computer in the study. After hearing Qianqian's voice, he looked up and smiled at her. "They called this morning and said they would be here around noon. They will arrive soon."
"Oh ..." Qin Wenqian pouted as she turned to look at the quiet door, then asked aloud, "But why haven't they gotten here yet?"
Xian Zihao stood up and was about to take the impatient child to the balcony to take a look, but the door suddenly opened from outside before he could take the child.
Qin Gengxin came inside with a lot of stuff in his hand. Qin Wenqian was about to grab Xian Zihao's leg when she suddenly saw Qin Gengxin. She stood frozen in her place.
Then, Xian Guiying walked behind him and closed the door. She tilted her head as she looked at the little girl and said, "Qianqian, mommy is home."
Qin Wenqian was still staring blankly at Qin Gengxin. Xian Zihao had taught her to remember calling Qin Gengxin 'daddy' when he arrived. However, right now, she just stared blankly at him.
"Little girl, come and take a look at what daddy brought for you." Qin Gengxin took out the two boxes of new toys from a bag and walked towards her. He then squatted down in front of the child and looked at her with a smile. "Do you want them?"
Qin Wenqian looked at him and instinctively hugged Xian Zihao's legs. She then looked at Qin Gengxin awkwardly before seeing the toys in his hand. She pursed her lip and said, "I don't like Transformers."
The corner of Qin Gengxin's mouth twitched.
Xian Guiying walked over and said, "I've already said that Qianqian wouldn't like them. Let my brother bring them back for Chiahao to play."
Qin Wenqian ran straight to Xian Guiying's legs. She hugged her legs, looking as if she missed her mother so much.
Xian Guiying bent down and picked up the child. She then smiled at Xian Zihao. "Brother, I'm sorry for troubling you."
"It's fine. Qianqian is much more obedient than An Na." Xian Zihao smiled lightly and glanced at Qin Gengxin.
Obedient? It was obvious that Qin Wenqian did not dare to be too impudent in front of her uncle.
Xian Guiying immediately smiled and said, "When the time comes, we should gather the three children and see who is the naughtiest ones."
She carried Qin Wenqian towards Qin Gengxin, waved her little hand a few times, and said, "Qianqian, say hi to daddy."
Qin Wenqian let her hand be lifted by Xian Guiying. She just looked at Qin Gengxin, not saying a word.
A few days ago, when Qin Gengxin had a fever and was brought here by Xian Guiying, Qin Wenqian was able to say a few words to him with sympathy after learning that he was ill. But now, she refused to speak again.
Qin Gengxin held the little girl's hand and kissed it. He knew that the child was not ready to call him 'daddy' now. He didn't force her but instead smiled at her patiently. "Qianqian, daddy will formally apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
Seeing Qin Gengxin's sincere attitude, Xian Zihao, who was standing next to them, glanced at Xian Guiying.
In the blink of an eye, their eyes met. Knowing what he meant, she said, "That's right, regarding your Qin's situation, my brother can --"
Qin Gengxin kept looking at Qin Wenqian, but his voice was calm as he said, "No need for him to interfere."
Xian Guiying looked at him, but Xian Zihao nodded in understanding. "Well, with my understanding of him, since he doesn't need our help, he must have his own plans. Guiying, come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the balcony.
Xian Guiying hesitated for a moment, but Qin Gengxin suddenly held out his hand and said to Qin Wenqian, "Mommy wants to talk to uncle. Qianqian, can you let daddy carry you?"
Qin Wenqian, on the other hand, wrapped her arms around Xian Guiying's neck tightly, refusing to let go.
