Chapter 516 - If You Had Predicted That Such A Day Would Come, Would You Have Taken This Path
Xian Guiying didn't know if Qin Gengxin really cares about her or just because he had his parents in front of him. She looked at him blandly, but before she could say anything, the Old Woman cut, "This girl is clumsy. I usually have cold feet, and your mother often washed my feet with hot water. You also know this. I just asked Guiying to wash my feet, but I don't know if she's really willing or not, she's almost scalded me to death!"
As she spoke, the Old Woman leaned back on the couch with an indifferent look on her face.
"It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Mrs. Qin stood up quickly and said with a smile.
Qin Gengxin then looked at Mrs. Qin and the Old Woman, and then looked at the silent Xian Guiying, and asked, "Did you burn your skin? Or does it hurt?"
Xian Guiying resisted the urge to pull her wrist away from his hand. She just gave him a look that wasn't cold or warm.
"It's okay. I didn't heat the water properly. It's my fault."
After saying that, she pulled her hand out of his hand at an angle that no one else could see and carried the basin of water directly into the bathroom.
Qin Gengxin didn't follow. He just looked at Xian Guiying's back. He turned to look at the unhappy Old Woman, then walked over to her with a childish face and sat down next to her.
Qin Gengxin put his arm around the Old Woman's shoulder and laughed as he coaxed, "Let me see, who made our beautiful old lady angry? You come all the way abroad, why don't you smile?"
"Smile?" The Old Woman harrumphed, "I can't laugh. Your wife is not happy because I brought a dog to this house. How can I laugh? This means my arrival was uninvited!"
Qin Gengxin just noticed the white Labrador Retriever dog that was lying on the side of the sofa. With just a glance, he continued to hug the Old Woman with a despicable smile, "How could that be? Guiying also likes cats and dogs. How could she be unhappy? Maybe it's because you guys came too suddenly and it's her first time seeing you, so she can't help but feel nervous."
"You really knew to speak nice words." The Old Woman humphed again, and a smile finally appeared on her face. She caressed Qin Gengxin's face and said, "Grandmother hasn't seen you for a long time, why don't you go back and visit me. I have to come all the way here to see you, you're really disrespectful!"
"Aren't I busy?" Qin Gengxin smiled and turned to Mrs. Qin. "Mom, how was your sleep last night?"
"Good enough. Your father and I wanted to go to the hotel, but we were afraid your grandmother didn't like the hotel, so we came here. The servant cleaned the room and the room was quite comfortable." Mrs. Qin also smiled and took his hand.
"Good child, look at you. You're getting busier and thinner every day. How's your regular meal? Don't just focus on your work. Your body is the most important thing."
"Your son eats well and lives well. If I get fat and drink too much, I will be like dad, so you should be more at ease with your son being thin!" Qin Gengxin smiled as he stood up and glanced at the slightly open bathroom door. Then, he said to Qin Xiaowen, "Dad, you guys take a seat, first. I'll go check on Guiying."
"Go, go." Qin Xiaowen waved his hand.
Upon hearing that Qin Gengxin was going to find Xian Guiying, the smile on the Old Woman's face immediately disappeared, even though she didn't say anything.
Xian Guiying stood in the bathroom with a half-empty basin in her hand. She looked down at the running water from the tap and stayed still for a long time.
When the slightly open door of the bathroom was opened, she was startled. She first did not move, but then she turned her head and looked at Qin Gengxin, who was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest and staring at her without saying a word.
This was the first time in the two years since their marriage that the two of them had stood in this house together.
Xian Guiying's hand was still on the basin, and the cold touch from the water had suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Qin Gengxin with a slightly cold gaze, wanting to say something, but found that she had nothing to say to him.
It had been two years, and everything she had ever wanted to explain had now become useless. There was no need.
"Where's the child?" Qin Gengxin leaned against the door and asked.
It was rare for him to ask such a question the moment he opened his mouth. However, Xian Guiying only looked at him calmly and replied, "She's asleep."
Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrows in understanding.
Xian Guiying's clothes had started getting damp. The color of her hands and face became brighter than before. Her waist-length hair was scattered all over her back.
It was rare for Xian Guiying to be in such a sorry state. Seeing her like this, Qin Gengxin suddenly smiled.
Seeing that he was really laughing, Xian Guiying immediately turned off the faucet and wiped her hands with a towel. "If you have nothing to do, go and accompany them. Don't let them vent their anger on me because they can't see you."
After saying that, she hung up the towel, tidied up her hair and clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Just as she was about to go around Qin Gengxin, his hand grabbed her arm.
Xian Guiying was about to pull her hand away when Qin Gengxin pushed her back into the bathroom with a little bit of force and pulled her directly to stand in front of him.
Xian Guiying forced herself to stand still and looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"Are you feeling wronged right now?" Qin Gengxin asked while looking at her.
Xian Guiying instantly understood what he meant, and her face stiffened slightly.
Qin Gengxin let go of her arms and continued to cross his arms over his chest. He looked her in the eye and asked, "If you had predicted that such a day would come, would you have taken this path?"
Xian Guiying's expression was stiff. She didn't say anything and was about to walk out indifferently.
Qin Gengxin grabbed her arm again and pulled her back in front of him. She shook his hand forcefully. "Let me go!"
He gripped her arm tightly and warned her with a slightly cold look in his eyes, "Lower your voice!"
"Let go!" Xian Guiying didn't even try to lower her voice while looking at him.
"If you don't want to cause trouble in front of your parents and grandmother, then let me go! Let me out!" After saying that, she began to struggle even harder, but no matter how much she twisted, she was unable to shake the power of his other hand.
"Qin Gengxin! Don't go too far! Let go of me!" Xian Guiying gritted her teeth as the anger she had held all night finally flared up. Although she wasn't screaming out loud, her voice was already a bit hoa.r.s.e.
She raised her head to look at Qin Gengxin, her face was full of anger and rage.
"I'm going too far?" Qin Gengxin held her arm without the slightest intention of releasing it. He stared coldly into her eyes. "Am I going to go too far, or are you bringing this upon yourself?! Have I forced you to become like this? Did I force you? Hmm?"
Xian Guiying's eyes immediately turned red as she tried her best to push him away.
However, Qin Gengxin pushed her in a bit more, pressing her against the tiled wall of the bathroom. With his other hand, he closed the bathroom door, isolating them from the world outside.
Suddenly, being in the same room and in such a small s.p.a.ce, a suffocating feeling a.s.saulted her. Xian Guiying had her back against the wall and she wanted to fight free, but her whole body was held by Qin Gengxin.
She gritted her teeth in anger and before she knew it, she already used a Taekwondo stance to deal with him.
