My Little Sweet Wife-Chapter 585 - Everyone Says That Women Have A Strong Desire For Possession

Chapter 585 - Everyone Says That Women Have A Strong Desire For Possession

By this time, working hours were almost over. Xian Guiying walked to the floor where her office was, and as she was about to enter the office, she suddenly saw a glimpse of Secretary Dai standing at the door, apparently waiting for her.

"What's the matter?" She asked as she walked closer.

"President Xian, the chairman is here." Secretary Dai pointed to a meeting room not far away.

Xian Guiying was surprised for a moment. She changed direction and walked towards the meeting room. As she opened the door, she saw Xian Zihao, Wei Zhengsheng, and the others were discussing something.

Seeing her enter, Xian Zihao put down the files in his hand and looked at her with a smile, "I heard that you went to Qin Corporation to negotiate a contract?"

Xian Guiying nodded her head, then walked closer. "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to rest?"

"I'm going home next week." Xian Zihao smiled. "I'm worried about you. Before I go back, I decided to visit the company first and see if there are any difficult problems that need my help. But it looks like my little sister is really capable of handling it."

Xian Guiying's eyelids twitched. "You should worry about your wife. Think about how to make her marry you again."

Xian Zihao pursed his lip. Although Xian Guiying hadn't cried much before, she was still quietly shedding tears. Others may not understand, but Xian Zihao, after all, was still her biological brother. How come her own brother didn't know anything?

With his eyes, Xian Zihao signaled Wei Zhengsheng and the other executives of the company to head out first.

Wei Zhengsheng nodded and closed the laptop in front of him. When he got up to leave, he stopped next to Xian Guiying and glanced at her. He also saw a hint of redness in her eyes, but he said nothing.

It was only until the two siblings were left in the meeting room, Xian Guiying, without waiting for Xian Zihao to speak, immediately sat in a chair opposite the long table.

Xian Zihao's eyes were calm. He just looked at Xian Guiying's expression and finally, he asked softly, "You've endured it for two years. Did you finally take the initiative to find him?"

Xian Guiying quietly bit her lower lip and frowned. She looked at him and said, "Brother, don't interfere in the matter between him and me. I don't want you to make things difficult for me. After all, I am the one who was responsible for everything that happened now. From your point of view, there is nothing else you can do but giving me good advice. "

"If you need me to do something, I can help you. That depends on whether you want it or not."

"I don't want it." Xian Guiying said seriously, "Brother, I'm tired."

Xian Zihao was not surprised. Seeing her expression, he asked after a while, "Have you made up your mind yet?"

Xian Guiying closed her eyes and nodded. In front of Xian Zihao, she didn't have to pretend to be strong. There was a hint of helplessness and deep exhaustion on her face. "Yes, I have made my decision."

Without waiting for Xian Zihao to say anything, she raised her eyes and said seriously, "I'm not a child, I'll be thirty in a year. I have my own plans for many things, you don't have to worry too much about me. Instead, you should think about my sister-in-law and living well with her. Chiahao and An Na will be the same age as Qianqian soon. They can't be without their father. Since sister-in-law has been waiting for you for so long, I think she has put the past behind her. It's not easy for her to be so committed."

Regarding Jiang Ruolan's matter, Xian Zihao listened to it attentively and did not say anything. All he did was stare at Xian Guiying, who was calm and unperturbed.

Xian Guiying quietly clenched her fists under the table.

"If you're tired, don't forget that the Xian Family has always been your strongest shield behind you. Cui Luixian was long gone, and the Old Man still loved his own granddaughter. Even though he is stubborn, he still hopes you can stay safe and healthy. If you can't last much longer, go home."

"I know." Xian Guiying nodded. Her expression was unreadable.

Xian Zihao naturally knew his sister's temperament well. Even though Cui Luixian was long gone, she still didn't want to go home.

The shadows of her childhood could not be erased from her heart easily. She will not treat the Xian Family as her safe place.

Wei Zhengsheng was making himself a cup of tea in the pantry outside the meeting room. Upon hearing the meeting room door open, he turned and saw Xian Guiying walking out.

"Secretary Dai, go call the HR manager. My brother is waiting for him inside." After exiting the meeting room, Xian Guiying immediately called Secretary Dai and gave her instruction.

Watching Secretary Dai leave, Xian Guiying stopped in the middle of the hallway for a moment. Wei Zhengsheng didn't know what she was thinking, nor did she notice his presence in the pantry. He just watched her leaning against the wall quietly.

He sipped his tea calmly and placed the cup in the glass cabinet next to him.

Then, he walked out. He looked at Xian Guiying and slowly walked towards the direction, standing in front of her.

Xian Guiying looked up and saw it was him. With a slight twinkle in her eye, she smiled. "Why are you still here?"

"I just went for tea. The chairman is going home. Looks like he's recovered well. You can rest assured now." He said with a faint smile.

Xian Guiying nodded with a smile. "Yes, he can finally go home. After thinking about my sister-in-law who was still waiting for him, I realized I was really jealous of her."

Wei Zhengsheng suddenly laughed teasingly, "Everyone says that women have a strong desire for possession. Your brother and your favorite man only have Jiang Ruolan in their eyes. You said that you're jealous, but you are not really jealous. Are you trying to act too pretentiously?"

Xian Guiying immediately rolled her eyes. She walked towards her office, saying, "Honestly, there is jealousy, but people have their own lives and beliefs. Family relationships are not comparable to that sense of jealousy. So regarding my brother, yes, I do envy her because she has an outstanding man by her side. As for Qin Gengxin…"

She suddenly smiled and turned her head to look at him. "A forcefully twisted melon really isn't sweet.¹ I've already lost sight of it."

When she stopped in front of the office door, she looked at Wei Zhengsheng, who was standing two steps behind her. "I've already sent the contract. There should be an answer within three days."

Xian Guiying didn't explain any details. Instead, she opened the office door and walked in before quickly closing it behind her.

Wei Zhengsheng stood outside the door and looked at the closed door quietly with a frown.

It looks like she had seen Bai Nuying.
