Chapter 652 - When Did You Start Arguing With Her (2/2)

Under Xian Guiying's teachings, Qin Wenqian did not learn to be reckless at all. Instead, she learned self-pity and self-love and knew that she shouldn't be hungry because it would only hurt her body.

”This is a fish daddy made for you.” Mrs. Qin then pushed a plate of delicious carp in front of the child. ”Try it. You never tasted a dish your daddy cooked, right? Your daddy was as naughty as a monkey when he was young, but he was still able to cook delicious meals.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Qin sat down. She looked at Qin Gengxin, then at Qin Wenqian, her eyes full of a satisfied smile.

Qin Wenqian used her chopsticks to scoop the rice into her bowl. Her mouth was filled with grains of rice. Just when Mrs. Qin was about to wipe the rice grains off of her, Qin Gengxin had already wiped the rice grains from her mouth.

Seeing how her son so alert when it comes to his daughter, Mrs. Qin smiled.  She looked at Qin Wenqian, who obediently ate with her head lowered. Mrs. Qin smiled contentedly for a moment, then she remembered Xian Guiying and sighed.

They waited and waited, but the nanny never came back, and of course, they were happy because that meant Qin Wenqian could stay here.

Qin Gengxin had been coaxing Qin Wenqian all night, hugging her as she fell asleep on his shoulder.

When Mrs. Qin went into the bedroom and saw that the child was asleep, she went to ask Nanny Yuan where the blanket was. She then went to get a blanket and put it on the bed.

Qin Gengxin looked down at his daughter, who was fast asleep. He reached down and caressed her forehead, stroking her soft hair.

After looking at her for a long time, he stood up and slowly walked out.

Nanny Yuan's house was nearby. She would come back every night after she finished work, and she would come to Qin Gengxin's house whenever he needed her help. By this time, Nanny Yuan was already gone.

The television was turned off and the living room was quiet.

Qin Gengxin took out a pack of cigarettes and was about to smoke when he suddenly remembered that there was his daughter in the house. He threw the cigarette to the side as if he were tired and laid his body on the couch. Before Mrs. Qin could open her mouth, he said, ”What do you want to ask? Ask away.”

Mrs. Qin frowned. Looking at his tired expression, she asked, ”How long have you been here? Are you going to have a video conference here every day? Why don't you come back to Boston?”

”Now that online technology is so advanced, I can do that here at any time. I don't think this matter has anything to do with you, does it?”

Mrs. Qin sighed, ”Gengxin, you know mom didn't mean that. Mom meant you left the company, was it just because Xian Guiying came to Wuyuan? When did you start arguing with her? Qianqian doesn't know us, does it have to do with her? Could it be that in order to compete for custody of the child, she had put the child on her side earlier and let the child choose her based on the child's own consciousness in court?”

”Mom, your conspiracy theories can now be put to rest. No one has done this on purpose.” Qin Gengxin frowned.

”Then what happened?”

”Didn't you say you know?” Qin Gengxin glanced at her. ”You should know the reason why I haven't returned to Guiying place since two years ago. We don't live together, and the kid isn't too close to you or me. That's because when she started getting to know people, we never showed up in her world. ”
