Chapter 729 - Visiting The Qin Family VI (1/2)

By the time he returned, Qin Gengxin had already carried some biscuits and side dishes in his hand and personally placed them on the bed. Xian Guiying almost fell asleep when she felt someone help her up. She opened her eyes and saw Qin Gengxin sitting on the bed, smiling at her.

She frowned and looked at him. ”I'm dizzy and want to sleep for a while.”

”Eat before you sleep.”

She wanted to say that she didn't want to eat it, but seeing him being so insistent, she sat down and ate a few pieces of biscuits and then a few bites of the side dishes. After she finished drinking a glass of milk, she pulled the blanket over her head and fell asleep.

Seeing Xian Guiying, who was usually fit and healthy, was very lazy because of her fever, Qin Gengxin laughed and put the glass to the side. He reached out to pull the blanket that covered her face. ”Alright, go to sleep, don't cover your head.”

Xian Guiying did not move. She had already fallen asleep.

Qin Gengxin smiled, kissed the corner of her mouth, then touched her forehead. He then got up to get a thermometer to measure her temperature.

When his phone rang, he got up and went to answer it. Once he's done, he returned to the bedroom and saw Xian Guiying's calm sleeping face. Only then did his slightly restless heart calm down.

Xian Guiying opened her eyes and looked at him. ”What's wrong?”

”It's nothing, go to sleep.” Qin Gengxin pursed his lips and sat on the edge of the bed. He patted her lightly and said, ”I just got a call.”

Xian Guiying felt a headache coming on and didn't have the heart to study his expression. She turned around and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Since Xian Guiying still had a slight fever, she could not get up early. Qin Gengxin went downstairs to get a light breakfast, and he saw Qin Xiaowen standing in front of the French window, lost in thought.

”Dad?” Qin Gengxin walked over. ”Why didn't you go to the cemetery?”

”Your mom took your grandmother there. Since you are here, she asked me to stay with you.” Qin Xiaowen glanced at him. ”I wasn't here yesterday afternoon, and it was already night when I came back. I heard that Old Man Xian was also staying here. Didn't the Old Man get up early? Why didn't I see him?”

Qin Gengxin paused for a moment. ”I'll go to the guest room to take a look.”

However, when he walked into the guest room where Old Man Xian stayed, he saw the Old Man was not inside.

There was a knot between his eyebrows.

Could it be …

West Mountain Graveyard.

Mrs. Qin placed a basket of goods in front of the tombstone and sighed softly, ”Dad's body was cremated by Xian Tingfeng that year. I wonder if he can accept a grave like this built for him, where we worship and burn paper every year.”

The Old Woman did not say a word. She stood in front of the tombstone, dressed in black, and looked at the words engraved on it.

Mrs. Qin looked at her. From yesterday until now, the Old Woman did not say much and was quiet.

”Mom.” Mrs. Qin gently held the Old Woman's arms. ”It's been years, don't think too much. Just focus on taking care of yourself.”

The Old Woman nodded. ”That's right, after thinking about it for years, what's the point? I still can't imagine what he went through before committing suicide in prison.”
