Chapter 689 - Are You Trying To Look For A Beating

Even from an old friend"s perspective, she couldn"t see him continuing to fall like this. Perhaps, this could only be considered a concern, at least she would be able to accompany him through this trial.

Xian Guiying put down the bowl in her hand and looked out the window. She smiled and slowly said, "Actually, you know very well in your heart that it"s not like that."

Qin Gengxin tilted his head and looked at her coldly.

She was still smiling. Facing the sunlight outside the window, she said softly, "No matter what, we"ve known each other for a very long time, haven"t we?"

Qin Gengxin stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Secretary Dai to transfer the properties back to your name." Xian Guiying said without looking at him.

Qin Gengxin stopped in his tracks. "So, this is exactly the reason."

Xian Guiying didn"t deny it, nor did she object to it. "I don"t want to know why you"re transferring them to my name, but you should know that I am not short of money. The person who needs these things the most is you. "

"Don"t want to know why I transferred it to you?" Qin Gengxin laughed. "Actually, you know that"s all I can do to make it up to you when I"m powerless."

Xian Guiying suddenly stood up and looked at him coldly. "Should I use this amount of money to compensate for my youth that I have wasted on you? Qin Gengxin, are you trying to look for a beating?"

Qin Gengxin laughed. "Yes, I"m looking for a beating."

Xian Guiying closed her eyes when she saw that he had no intention of arguing with her. Her entire being was filled with impatience and desolation. How could her emotions fall so easily in front of him?

Xian Guiying pursed his lips, picked up the bowl and chopsticks off the table, and went to the kitchen. Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Qin Gengxin as she walked through him.

She stopped, looking down at her arm, then turned to him.

Qin Gengxin stared into her eyes. "You still haven"t answered my question."

"What question?"

"When will you and Wei Zhengsheng get married?"

Xian Guiying took a deep breath and didn"t answer. She wanted to push his hand away, but as she moved slightly, he held her arm tightly. "What would happen if he found out you were here? Xian Guiying, do you know what you"re doing? I"m worried that if you continue to care about me, there will be people who are unhappy."

His words were light, but there was a strong sour tone to them.

Xian Guiyi didn"t know if she wanted to laugh or cry. She could not understand him. Qin Gengxin had always been nonsensical. What did she like about him back then?

"I really want to smash this bowl into your head!" She suddenly said this, and at the same time, Qin Gengxin"s eyes widened.

Xian Guiying forcibly pushed his hand away, saying impatiently, "Go back to your room and lie down! You have a rash now and it can"t heal if your fever doesn"t go away."

After saying that, she hurried into the kitchen.

As night approached, Xian Guiying had finished cleaning Qin Gengxin"s apartment, washing his clothes, and hanging them on the balcony.

When she was done, it was already 8 p.m. Fortunately, Qin Wenqian was with Xian Zihao. Otherwise, Xian Guiying would not have dared to linger outside for so long. After packing, she decided to leave first.

She walked back into the living room and immediately saw that Qin Gengxin had woken up from his sleep. He got up and poured a gla.s.s of water for himself. Xian Guiying glanced at him and reminded him. "Don"t forget to drink more plain water."

Qin Gengxin didn"t look at her. He just drank the water and walked towards the bedroom.

At the same time, Xian Guiying"s cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Wei Zhengsheng.

"h.e.l.lo, Zhengsheng."

Qin Gengxin, who was about to enter the bedroom, stopped and took a sip of water while leaning against the wall.

"Are you at home?"

"No, I"m outside." Xian Guiying walked towards the French window and looked outside. Her voice was calm.

"Outside?" Wei Zhengsheng"s voice sounded like he was sighing.

"Hmm, what"s up? Have auntie and uncle went back to the hotel to rest?"

"They"re back at the hotel." Wei Zhengsheng said with a laugh, "I"m at your apartment building."

"Huh?" Xian Guiying was shocked. She looked at the time and said, "Then I"ll see you right away!"

"No need, I was just driving by and stopped by your place. Actually, Guiying, it"s better if we don"t meet. You don"t have to worry about me." Wei Zhengsheng"s voice was very calm.

However, the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable Xian Guiying became. She anxiously said, "It"s fine, I can go back right now Wait for me!"

Xian Guiying quickly hung up the phone, turned around, and was about to pick up the bag when she saw Qin Gengxin sitting on the couch with his eyes closed and the thermometer in his mouth.

She stopped and looked at him hesitantly. "Are you alright?"

Qin Gengxin replied with a snort. His pale face flushed a little. It was clear that he was still suffering from a high fever.

Xian Guiying knew fully well that he would continue to have a high fever for several days. At first, she wasn"t sure if she should leave, but she felt too guilty to Wei Zhengsheng.

As she thought about how long he had waited for her in front of the apartment building, she felt melancholy in her heart and blamed herself.

Had she been sane enough, she would have married him and followed the warmth and happiness given to her.

After that, she didn"t have to think of anything on her own, and Wei Zhengsheng would think of everything for her. She will be happy and live the peaceful life that so many women have gone through.

Still, she rejected the chance of happiness that was already in her grasp.

She walked over to the couch and stared at Qin Gengxin"s frowning face. She raised her hand and touched his forehead. It"s still burning.

If he wasn"t exactly feverish, Xian Guiying would have thought he was faking it.

"How is it? Let me see the temperature. If it is not bad, I"ll be leaving first." As she spoke, she removed the thermometer from his mouth.

Qin Gengxin weakly sat on the couch and looked at her. He waved his hand and said, "Just go. Go."

However, when Xian Guiying saw his temperature, her wrinkles deepened.

"You can leave. Hurry and leave. At most, I"ll burn to death." With that, Qin Gengxin stood up and staggered towards the bathroom. His fever was unbearable, and now that he had a rash, he often washed his face with cold water to make himself feel more comfortable.

Seeing his unsteady step, Xian Guiying glanced at the thermometer in her hand, not sure what to do.

She felt very sorry for Wei Zhengsheng. After thinking about it, she looked at Qin Gengxin, who had already washed his face, and said, "I"ll go and come back soon. If you feel uncomfortable, then you should lie down first. If not, then I"ll call the family doctor for you when I come back."

However, Qin Gengxin suddenly went to the toilet, causing Xian Guiying to stop in her tracks. She turned around and said in a different tone, "What if I called the doctor now?"

It was only when Qin Gengxin suddenly leaned against the bathroom wall that Xian Guiying stopped talking. She walked quickly towards him. She saw that he seemed to be on the verge of losing his balance and reached out to support him, but he pushed her away.

"You can leave." Qin Gengxin sighed weakly, then propped himself against the wall.

Xian Guiying held his hand again, ignoring his avoidance. "Let me help you go back to your bedroom. Come on."

Qin Gengxin frowned and was about to throw her hand away when Xian Guiying"s grip on his hand tightened. She let him put his arm over her shoulder and put her other hand on his waist to support him, supporting him as they walked out of the bathroom.

Qin Gengxin didn"t push her away anymore. Instead, he slowly lowered his head and looked at her face.
