Chapter 713 - The Past I (1/2)
When they returned to the Xian Residence, Old Man Xian was already sitting in the wheelchair the hospital prepared. Since it was inconvenient for him to move around, Nanny Cheng arranged for a servant to push the chair.
When Xian Guiying walked into the bedroom where the children were, the moment she walked in the door, she saw the Old Man sitting on a wheelchair in the middle of the bedroom, watching the children. Qin Wenqian and Xian An Na hugged the Old Man's legs and called out together, ”Grandfather ~”
The Old Man couldn't even close his mouth as he stretched out his hand to caress their little faces. Because he had never seen Qin Wenqian before, his hand lingered on her face for a little longer. His old and hazy eyes were filled with love.
Xian Guiying didn't expect her daughter to be so happy at home these two days. Qin Wenqian had a big smile on her face as she hugged the Old Man with Xian An Na. It seemed like she was not afraid of living alone anymore.
She walked over, hugged Qin Wenqian, and said with a smile, ”You can't call him grandfather, you have to call him great-grandfather.”
”Why?” Qin Wenqian blinked her eyes and asked, ”They all call him grandfather.”
”Haha, whatever she called me is good enough. Anyway, she's my great-granddaughter!” Old Man Xian smiled happily and even spoke a little more clearly. He turned his head and leisurely asked Chiahao. ”Chiahao, why can't she call me grandpa?”
”I don't know.” Xian Chiahao also looked at the adult in front of him in confusion.
”Silly child ~” The Old Man patted their heads before looking at Qin Wenqian, who had already been carried by Xian Guiying. ”This child is called Qin Wenqian, right?”
”Yes.”
”What a good name. Who named it? It's Qin Gengxin?”
Xian Guiying knew that the Old Man Xian wanted to know if her relationship with Qin Gengxin was really that good. She hesitated for a moment before she smiled and said, ”I named her. He has no objections.”
Her words were flawless, and the Old Man nodded his head, ”Good to hear.”
”Grandfather, you have just been discharged from the hospital. You will feel uncomfortable sitting in the wheelchair for a long time, so you should go back to your room to rest.”
”I'm not tired. The doctor told me to sit up if I could and try to walk for a few steps; only then can I recover. If I stay lying down, then I'll really be lying on the bed waiting for death.” After saying that, the Old Man looked at Qin Wenqian, who was in Xian Guiying's arms with a smile. ”This child, she really looks like you and Qin Gengxin.”
”I hope that Old Woman, for the sake of such a cute child, won't reject you two too much.” Old Man Xian said in a lowered voice, almost as if he was sighing.
His words, however, caused Xian Guiying to be stunned. It also caused Qin Gengxin, who was just about to enter the room, to stop in his tracks.
Xian Guiying actually didn't want the Old Man to recall any unhappy memories, but when he mentioned this, she could not refrain from looking at him and asking, ”Grandfather, do you have something to say to me?”
Old Man Xian was silent for a moment. He looked at the child in her arms, then turned around and looked at the door of the bedroom.
