Chapter 531 - The Current You Are No Different From You Of Many Years Ago (1/2)
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 attitude 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.
