Chapter 557 – Having A Father Is Her Greatest Desire
Darna continued helping Qin Wenqian take out the things with a smile. There were many toys in the box.
Qin Gengxin walked over and crouched down. He lowered his head and looked at Qin Wenqian, who was happily playing with her toy. He gently pinched her face with his two fingers, touching her smooth and tender face. "Do you like it?"
"Mmm mmm, I like it ~ ~" Qin Wenqian giggled as she played with the wooden block. She turned her head to look at him, revealing her small teeth as she chuckled. Her smile was so innocent that it almost melted one's heart.
Qin Wenqian's eyes were big, much like Xian Guiying's eyes. It was as if Qin Gengxin could see her shadow from eleven years ago.
He raised his hand and touched Qin Wenqian's head before looking at Darna. "Qianqian only has a weak physical? Or is there something wrong with her?"
Darna was stunned for a moment as she glanced at Qin Gengxin. The hand holding the toy was stiffened and after a while, she mumbled, "I'm not too sure either. It's just that Miss Qianqian was sent to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit when she was born. She was born earlier, but she still had to stay there for half a month and was only returned home after a month in the hospital."
Qin Gengxin frowned as he looked at Darna, then he looked down at Qin Wenqian, who was having a lot of fun as he stroked her head.
The Qin Family had no inherited diseases, and neither did the Xian Family. Qin Wenqian's appearance looked very healthy, only slightly smaller and thinner than her peers.
As he stroked Qin Wenqian's small head, he looked down at her. Qin Wenqian raised her head and rubbed them against his chest. "Daddy, will you be back in the future?"
Saying that, Qin Wenqian looked up from his embrace and stuck herself in front of him. She looked at him pitifully with her big eyes, "Qianqian still wants her parents to hug her and sleep together with her … Qianqian wants daddy to come home every day… And Qianqian wants to see daddy all the time …"
The child's mind was sensitive and fragile, and even if she didn't understand the way her mother and father communicated, for some reason, even in happy moments, she was still afraid that her father would disappear.
Was it because she had been looking forward to it for too long?
Qin Gengxin hugged the little girl and held her up. He smiled and said, "Qianqian likes daddy so much?"
"I like it!" The little girl firmly nodded her head, then continued to smile while showing her crooked teeth.
Qin Gengxin caressed her little face lovingly as if he remembered that when he was young, he was the one who liked to bully his neighbor's daughter, the cute and pretty little girl who was named Jiang Ruolan.
Every man once had a dream to protect the flowers when he was young and as he grew older, he now looked at the little girl in front of him, and a different feeling rose in his heart.
Today, Huang Jingguo vowed that he would definitely spend ten months with his wife and children.
Looking at Qin Wenqian, Qin Gengxin suddenly thought back to the day in the Xian Family's pavilion when Xian Guiying had knelt on the ground with her stomach puffed out and nearly got hit by Old Man Xian's walking stick.
"Daddy! Daddy~ "Qin Wenqian continued to tug on his clothes, slowly shaking them, almost wanting to crawl towards him, clinging to him like an octopus, "Daddy, speak ~ Daddy, can you go home every day? Qianqian doesn't want a toy, Qianqian just wants a father! Daddy, speak."
Qin Gengxin smiled and pinched her nose lightly, "Little things, why are you so hard to deal with? Who told you daddy wouldn't come home? Hmm?"
Qin Wenqian didn't understand what her father meant. She tilted her head and looked at him, asking, "Then, will daddy always come home? Would you read a story to Qianqian? Auntie Dalisay and Auntie Darna said that daddy's story is different from mommy's story. I also want to hear daddy's story in the future."
"Miss Qianqian really likes hearing about Snow White." Darna interrupted from the side.
Qin Gengxin didn't answer. He just looked at Qin Wenqian. Every time he looked at her face, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from the door. Qin Gengxin turned his head sideways and saw that Xian Guiying had walked to the door. Dalisay, who had just helped her walk, turned around and walked away.
Xian Guiying leaned against the door and silently watched the scene of father and daughter hugging each other. In the end, she still curled her lips in contentment, and the look she shot at Qin Gengxin was no longer as cold as it had been.
To her, when Qin Gengxin willingly returned to this house for Qin Wenqian and was willing to let go of everything, she knew no matter how indifferent he was to his family in the two years after their marriage, at least now, Qin Wenqian's smiling face could take away all her coldness and disappointment.
"Qianqian always wanted a father." Xian Guiying leaned against the door, looking at Qin Gengxin, and whispered, "For her, having a father is her greatest desire."
Qin Gengxin only glanced at her once before pulling Qin Wenqian into his arms.
"After all, she is my daughter." He said.
Xian Guiying immediately understood something from his words and she looked straight at him.
"No matter how much I didn't want to accept her existence in the beginning, it has been so long. Now that this little thing is in my arms, I can't possibly push her away. You don't have to worry about me giving the child hope and letting her down again." As Qin Gengxin spoke, he stood up and picked up Qin Wenqian as well. He looked at Xian Guiying and said, "Of course, this is only for the child."
Xian Guiying looked at him, not saying a word.
What he meant was that he had accepted the child but still hadn't forgiven her?
She moved her lips, wanting to say it again. She had not set a trap on purpose, but the disgust in his eyes when she had explained this before, suddenly flashed in her mind. In the end, she only looked at him calmly and did not speak again.
She only smiled. "It's already enough for me to let Qianqian have fatherly love. I won't expect more from you." Xian Guiying then tilted her head and looked at him as if she was telling a joke. "I won't push my luck. It's been eleven years, and I've already seen through a lot of things. So don't worry, I won't bother you in the slightest."
With that, she turned around and walked away slowly with her hand pressing against the wall.
