My Little Sweet Wife

Seeing the message, Xian Guiying slowed down her pace. Wei Zhengsheng had already walked to the car, opened the door, and carried Qin Wenqian into the car. He turned around and saw Xian Guiying walking forward slowly with the phone in her hand.

"Guiying?" He called.

"Huh?" She looked at him.

Seeing her daydreaming, he smiled. "What are you doing? Get in the car, I'll take you back."

Xian Guiying looked at his car before shifting her gaze to her car, then towards Wei Zhengsheng before she smiled. She didn't think too much and got inside his car.

On the way back, Wei Zhengsheng glanced into his rearview mirror, looking at the mother-daughter pairs sitting in the back seat. Qin Wenqian was playing with the zipper of Xian Guiying's handbag and nibbling on it. Xian Guiying patted her hand again to tell her not to nibble on it.

Looking at the mother and daughter, Wei Zhengsheng chuckled. "Are you sure you don't want to eat outside?"

"Forget it. I'm just going to reheat the lunch food. It will spoil if I don't eat it. What a waste."

Seeing that she didn't intend to have dinner with him, Wei Zhengsheng didn't say anything. He just smiled and looked at the road ahead seriously before casually said, "Your brother's wedding is in less than two months, how do you plan to go back and celebrate it with him? I heard that his children were only a few months younger than Qianqian."

"Right. It's been a while since the last time I saw them." As Xian Guiying spoke, she looked at the building on the side of the road and was stunned for a moment. When the car had gone far away, she retracted her gaze and looked down at her daughter, who was in her arms.

Arriving at Xian Guiying's apartment, Wei Zhengsheng sat for a while before answering the phone call. He had something to do, so he left first.

Qin Wenqian knelt on the couch and played with a small goldfish in a small round fish tank on a coffee table with a fishing net.

Xian Guiying called a nearby housekeeping company and asked them to arrange for someone to take care of her child for her. As she walked out of her bedroom after making the call, she saw Qin Wenqian holding a fishing net and moving it inside the fish tank.

"Qianqian, be careful. The little goldfish are very weak. They can't withstand your play. Don't use fishing nets to play with them."

"Mommy, I didn't play with the little goldfish!" Qin Wenqian raised her eyes and chuckled, "I'm counting stones!"

As she spoke, Qin Wenqian used the net to move the beautiful pebbles under the fish tank. "One, two, three, four, five …"

"If you like these goldfish, you have to let them swim in the water calmly. Otherwise, they'll feel uncomfortable." Xian Guiying warned her again.

"Ok." Qin Wenqian obediently placed the fishing net in her hand on the table. Then, she got off the couch and stood next to the table. "Mommy, help me put the little goldfish in there so I can see them when I wake up!"

Xian Guiying chuckled a little and walked over to pick up the fish tank. Just as she placed the tank at the spot indicated by her daughter, she suddenly heard the phone ring.

As she answered the phone, she heard Xian Zihao's gentle voice.

"Guiying, I'm in Boston now. I just got off the plane. Where are you? I'll go and find you."

Hearing Xian Zihao's question, Xian Guiying was stunned for a moment. She looked at the time. "Why are you here?"

She knew her brother's personality. If that weren't something very important, he would not have suddenly come to the United States before marrying Jiang Ruolan.

Without waiting for Xian Zihao to say anything, she immediately told him where she lived. She then looked at her daughter, who was standing next to the fish tank and frowned slightly.

Her brother's return to the United States was most likely due to Qin Gengxin.

No matter how many things have happened to them in the last few years, their relationship was the same as before. Even though Jiang Ruolan and Qin Gengxin had some relationships, some things would never change.

If what happened to Qin Gengxin was not so serious, Xian Zihao would not have suddenly returned to the United States.

More than an hour later, Xian Guiying had just coaxed Qin Wenqian to sleep when she heard the doorbell ring.

She walked out and opened the door. Xian Zihao stood in the doorway with a calm expression.

"Brother." She looked at him hesitantly. Seeing that he was coming alone and feeling the chill of the night in Boston, she stepped back, making way for him.

Xian Zihao slowly entered. He didn't see Qin Wenqian, so he asked, "Is the child sleeping?"

"She just slept. She's tired from playing with her little goldfish and now she's asleep."

Xian Zihao nodded. "It's late; why are you still awake? Go rest earlier."

Xian Guiying was stunned. "I ..."

"I will not stay with you. Since I have returned, I decided to come to see you two first. I will rest for a while before leaving." As he spoke, Xian Zihao sat down and opened the laptop on the coffee table. He noticed that the laptop was initially turned on, and always in standby mode.

Xian Guiying walked into the kitchen. She poured a cup of water and placed it on the table.

Before she could say anything, she heard Xian Zihao say, "Have you seen him in the last few days?"

She knew who Xian Zihao meant by 'he'. Xian Guiying lowered her eyes and replied, "No."

Xian Zihao looked at the details on the website and asked, "What are you planning?"

Xian Guiying smiled. "The marriage is over, what else do you want me to do? I just want to live my life with my daughter in peace."

Xian Zihao didn't say anything and just looked at her.

Xian Guiying knew that Xian Zihao had seen through her clearly and know what she was thinking. In fact, based on his habits, he already knew what she was thinking at the time. He just didn't want to expose it.

"You can't get in touch with him?" Xian Guiying asked casually.

Xian Zihao sighed faintly. "No," he said.

Afterwards, he tapped the laptop keyboard several times with his slender fingers. "It's easy to find the location of Qin Gengxin, but it's useless after finding it. I will be in Boston for a while  before making a trip to New York in the next two days."

"Mrs. Bai was not in New York. She was on the plane with me when I flew back from Los Angeles the other day."

Xian Zihao nodded slightly. "That's good."

"Brother, are you going to help him?" Xian Guiying sat next to him.

Xian Zihao raised his eyebrow and turned to look at her with a smile. "Stupid girl, even if he's not Qin Gengxin, as long as he was the person my sister loved the most, I can't just stand by and watch it without doing anything."

  Xian Guiying pursed her lips and said coldly, "You said it yourself, that was only the past."

However, Xian Zihao just smiled without saying a word.

Xian Guiying whispered, "Even if you want to help him, he probably won't accept it."

Xian Zihao didn't rebuke her.

But what she said was correct. If Qin Gengxin wanted to accept Xian Zihao's help, he would not refuse to answer his call, nor would he sell Qin Corporation.

"The most important thing now is to find him first." Xian Zihao looked at the time, got up, and said, "You rest first, I will go to his apartment to take a look."

Just as Xian Zihao walked to the door, Xian Guiying looked up and said, "He's not in his apartment."

Xian Zihao stopped and glanced at her.
