Chapter 620 - What Remains Between Them After All These Years Perhaps Only Hates (2/2)

There was no sound from him. Xian Guiying thought that he was already left and slowly looked up, but she saw Qin Gengxin still standing there. The evening sun shone on his face and only then did she notice the green stubble on his chin.

They were no longer seventeen or twenty years old. They were a young man and woman in their thirties.

What remains between them after all these years perhaps only hates.

Qin Gengxin looked at her silently. Xian Guiying looked away and stood up.

”You can't even see my heart, even though we've already been together for a while.” Qin Gengxin said.

Xian Guiying quietly picked up the handmade shawls from the piles and said flatly. ”There's no need for me to see it clearly. Everything is already laying open in front of me.”

Qin Gengxin nodded. ”It's a good thing to let go of that obsession, but Guiying, you were once obsessed with that relationship. Now, you're obsessed with hatred. Have you really let go of it?”

Xian Guiying remained silent.

Qin Gengxin smiled and thought back to how she had retched and the disgusted look in her eyes. That was not acting, that was real.

It used to be her favorite, but now it was reduced to the point that it made her retch.

Qin Gengxin thought that perhaps, in this life, only Xian Guiying would do so. From the beginning to the end, he had always been such a failure.

The shop remained quiet for a while.  Xian Guiying wasn't sure if Qin Gengxin had already left or not, she just stood there with her legs gone numb. With a sigh, she bent down to rub her feet, then turned around.

Qin Gengxin was no longer there. She looked at the counter and saw that the cowboy hat was missing, and there was a hundred yuan on top of the clip holding the hat.

”You specifically came back to cook dinner for Qianqian and me these last two nights. Isn't this time the busiest and most profitable time of the night on Square Street? Shouldn't you be at the shop right now? What's wrong?” Wei Shanyuan asked with a smile while taking the meat on the plate.

Xian Guiying smiled. ”Why are you talking too much? Just eat.” When she said this, she gave Qin Wenqian some vegetables so that her daughter could practice eating vegetables to avoid her from becoming a picky eater.

She then looked back at Wei Shanyuan while taking some food into her bowl. ”How long will you stay here? Why don't you come and eat dinner together with us during this time? Since Qianqian is here, I am not afraid that you will do something to me.”

”What can I do to you? With Wei Zhengsheng on your side, what do I dare to do?” Wei Shanyuan grinned.

He suddenly wanted to say something but hesitated. After seeing his serious expression, Xian Guiying asked, ”Do you have something to say?”

She served another bowl of rice to him.

”He found you?”

Her hand paused and she looked back at him.

Wei Shanyuan looked at her. ”Did you meet Qin Gengxin? He really came to Wuyuan?”

Seeing that Xian Guiying didn't answer his question, he sighed. ”It's been a year, he's really capable. I did not dare contact you for the past year, just in case the men he's planted on me know where you are.  Not long ago, I noticed that those men seemed to have disappeared, so I thought he had stopped, but who would have thought….”

”If he wants to find me, he won't give up for ten years, let alone a year.” Xian Guiying gave the rice bowl to him and said in a low voice, ”If he doesn't want to look for me, he'll never show up. I can't blame you. Sooner or later, I have to face him. It's just a matter of time.”

”You made me come to accompany you all night, was it because you wanted to avoid him?” Wei Shanyuan asked.
