Chapter 628 - An Inexplicable Sense Of Security (1/2)

Xian Guiying froze. Even if they didn't say it clearly, she could guess what they meant. ”Are you talking about Qin Gengxin?”

Without waiting for an answer, she got up and walked quickly to the door. She looked through the peephole, looking outside. It was so dark that she couldn't make out anything. She immediately reached for the doorknob.

”Guiying, don't be impatient. Whether he is or not, what's the point of you checking it now?” Wei Zhengsheng called to her.

However, Xian Guiying frowned. ”Better if it wasn't him. I can't let Qianqian see him.”

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out. She walked towards the closed door on the other side and looked closer. Since the corridor was very dark and there was no automatic sensing light, she could only rely on the light of the lamp in her house to look at the door carefully.

The Spring Gala notice affixed to the door for a long time was no longer there. The dust on the door and the front house had also been cleared. She always comes home late and never took notice of it. It seemed the door had been cleaned for a while.

Just when Xian Guiying was hesitating whether she should knock on the door or not, Wei Zhengsheng walked out. He gently put his hand on her shoulder and said in a low voice, ”Don't knock.”

”I'm not that impulsive.” Xian Guiying replied softly. She merely stood at the door and paced back and forth. She didn't knock on the door, but her heart was filled with anxiety.

Wei Zhengsheng knew she didn't want Qin Gengxin to appear in her and her daughter's life again. He put his arm around her shoulders again and pushed her towards her house. ”Let's go back first.”

Xian Guiying didn't object. As she turned around and took a step forward, the door behind her suddenly opened.

Both of their steps were paused. Xian Guiying was shocked, but she did not turn around to look. Wei Zhengsheng first looked back before glancing at her and patting her on the shoulder.

Xian Guiying understood and turned her head to see an old lady in her fifties walking out with an old mop in her hand. When she saw them, she smiled. ”Are you the residents opposite us?”

”Oh, yes.” Xian Guiying's heart immediately became at ease as she smiled kindly back at the woman.

”It's already so late, hurry up and enter the house, don't catch a cold. This mop is too old, I have to take it out and throw it away.” The woman closed the door and went downstairs.

Xian Guiying watched the woman's back until she disappeared behind the corridor. She smiled, looked up at Wei Zhengsheng, and the two of them laughed together.

The woman with the mop threw the old mop downstairs and bought a new one from the supermarket near the building.

The woman opened the door of the house and entered as she said, ”Aiya, Mr. Qin. This house is not like it used to be. I have cleaned it by myself from this morning until now, but don't worry, tomorrow morning, this place will be clean and full of new stuff.”

After saying that, the woman walked into the laundry room and grumbled. ”But Mr. Qin, if you are so rich, why did you buy this old house? Also, the decor of this house is really too outdated. Why didn't you change it if you plan on staying here?”

”There will be noise from the renovation and it will disturb the child's sleep.” Qin Gengxin sat in a bamboo chair by the window, holding a glass of clear water in his hand.

”Child?” The old woman was stunned. ”What child? Mr. Qin, do you have a child? Should I pick her up? Should I be her nanny? Not only will I clean this house, but I will also take care of your kid. You don't have to pay too much, only a thousand extra will be charged.”

Qin Gengxin only looked towards the bright ancient city and didn't answer the woman's question.

Seeing him ignore her, the woman lowered her head and used a metal brush to scrub the tiles vigorously in the laundry room. She turned to look at the sinking toilet bowl and muttered, ”It's weird. He's so rich, yet he chooses to live in such an old area and doesn't like talking to people. It really makes a picky old woman like me want to gossip.”

Still, thinking of the high salary he gave to her, she smiled happily and worked harder and harder.
