Chapter 531 - The Current You Are No Different From You Of Many Years Ago


Xian Guiying knew that Qin Gengxin was already in China at this time, and although she didn"t know which city he was in, she then heard from her mother that he was also in H City recently. At this sensitive moment, she should hide far away from him, but it was because her new sister-in-law was Jian Ruolan, a woman"s curiosity and probing mentality finally made her pack up and, after so many years of separation, she chose to return to China, to the Xian Family that had left her many scars during her childhood.


The first time Xian Guiying saw Jiang Ruolan, it was very strange. She sat in her father"s car and clearly saw Cui Luixan fall into a pool of water on her own. No one was pushing her.


This was a common trick used by Cui Luixian. Xian Guiying had suffered for years, and after seeing this scene, she didn"t have much sympathy. She can only watch Jiang Ruolan"s fate from the car.


Women were born with a repulsive mindset towards their love rivals, and Xian Guiying was no exception. She was not a saint and when she saw his father slap Jiang Ruolan, she coldly stood outside the car and didn"t want to get involved.


It was only when she heard Jiang Ruolan"s words and her neither servile nor overbearing att.i.tude that made everyone tongue-tied, Xian Guiying raised her eyebrow and inexplicably fell in love with her new sister-in-law.


Her next help was not only because she didn"t hate her but also because of her brother. From the beginning, she knew that this new sister-in-law was really the "Little Red" that Qin Gengxin liked.


Life was really dramatic, wasn"t it?

Recovering her memories, Xian Guiying turned off the tap. Other than the times when she was extremely tired, she usually took a shower while standing and rarely enjoyed the hot and comfortable bath while lying in the bathtub. Furthermore, Qin Gengxin was still in the bedroom right now, so she didn"t want to stay in the bathroom too long, as if she was intentionally avoiding him.


After putting on her comfortable nightgown, she slowly opened the bathroom door and walked out. Without looking at Qin Gengxin, she picked up the hairdryer and started blowing her hair.


After drying her hair, she saw Qin Gengxin standing in front of a French window, quietly looking outside. No one knew what he was thinking.


As she combed her dry hair with her fingers, she asked indifferently, "Aren"t you going to take a shower?"


Qin Gengxin looked back at her with his hands in his pockets. He didn"t say anything but seemed to be in deep thought.


Without waiting for him to speak, Xian Guiying turned around and picked up some skincare product before sitting on the edge of the bed, applying it on her face.


Qin Gengxin saw the skincare product in her hand and slowly walked closer before taking it.


Xian Guiying just looked at herself in the mirror. With one hand holding the mirror while another patted her face, she said naturally, "I also hope that I don"t need this thing, but unfortunately, my skin can get easily dried. The best years of my youth were dedicated to my job and my one-sided love, and now that I"m almost twenty-nine years old, if I don"t take care of my skin properly, I will turn into a woman with a wrinkled face sooner or later."


With that, she put down the mirror in her hand and took the cream from his hand. "Aren"t you going to the study? Close the door when you leave. I"m going to sleep."


Qin Gengxin retracted his hand and looked at her with a smile. He then turned around and looked at the photos of her and Qin Wenqian on the bedside table. "Actually, the current you are no different from you of many years ago. There"s no need to be in such a hurry to guard against old age."


There was no need to be in such a hurry to guard against old age because no matter how cleanly and beautifully she cleaned up, he would not spare her another glance.


Did he mean that?


Xian Guiying looked at him indifferently and put away the skincare product. She had no intention of dealing with him.


Qin Gengxin casually shrugged his shoulders and glanced at her before turning around and walking towards the study.


Xian Guiying only stopped when the study door closed. She looked down at the bottle in her hand, thinking of Qin Gengxin"s disrespectful expression just now.


She sighed and quickened her packing, then went to bed.


Even though Qin Gengxin was in the study, Xian Guiying didn"t lose any of her sleep. She had been accustomed to his absence for the last two years, so it didn"t matter to her whether he"s there or not.


She slept until dawn and when she awoke, she saw the study door open.


Qin Gengxin already left.


When Xian Guiying finished cleaning herself, even before she went downstairs, she heard Qin Gengxin"s grandmother berating her. "Aiya, today"s young people are really lazy, the sky is already very bright, and she still hasn"t woken up. How can she be a wife like this? Your mom got up early and ma.s.saged me. She accompanied me for an hour"s walk. What"s the use of being your wife? What else could she do other than giving birth to a child who isn"t close to us at all?"


Xian Guiying looked at the time. It was six-thirty in the morning, Boston time.


"Alright, grandma. Mom and dad aren"t up yet. How can we youngsters get used to getting up early like the elders from your generation? Besides, it"s the weekend today, so sleeping a little is not a problem. Don"t you still have me to accompany you?" Qin Gengxin personally went to the kitchen to get a cup of soy milk.


With a stealthy glance, he motioned for the Duo to wake Xian Guiying before bringing the soy milk to the couch, saying with a humble expression, "Here, grandmother, have a taste of this soy milk. I personally make it for you. A cup of soy milk in the morning will help to strengthen the body ~"


When the Old Woman saw Qin Gengxin"s sly appearance, she giggled and accepted the cup of soy milk with a smile, "You brat! You have been so shameless since you were young. You are almost thirty-two, yet you still look like you haven"t grown up. It really makes me worry."


"Don"t worry about it. Just be happy." Qin Gengxin smiled as he sat on the couch opposite her. Watching the Old Woman slowly drinking the soy milk, he asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"


"Mhmm, it tastes good. Everything my grandson makes for me tastes good." The Old Woman nodded her head with a contented look on her face.


The Duo had just climbed the stairs when they saw Xian Guiying standing on the edge of the stairs. Darna immediately walked over and whispered, "Madam…"


"I heard it. Go back to your work." Xian Guiying said softly.


Darna and Dalisay immediately looked at each other with an uncomfortable look and glanced at the Old Woman, who was being treated like a treasure by Qin Gengxin. Dalisay muttered to herself, "I"ve really never seen such a difficult elder."


Knowing that Duo"s heart ached more or less because they had lived with her for a long time, Xian Guiying smiled and patted their shoulder, telling them to continue with their works.


After the Old Woman finished her cup of soy milk, Xian Guiying heard the sound from upstairs. She guessed that Qin Xiaowen or Mrs. Qin might have woken up, so she didn"t stay at the stairs and walked down.
