Chapter 592 - Everything Had Been Real
Qin Gengxin today was very different from the usual Qin Gengxin. Xian Guiying didn't know why he suddenly talked to her so patiently or why he suddenly told her the truth about his feelings for her. She didn't know how he could still sit so calmly on the edge of the bed, quietly watching her expression.
Under her cold questioning, he only pursed his lips slightly.
Xian Guiying took a deep breath and grinned, "I used eleven years of love for you to notice me. In the name of love, I had never hated you before, even when you mistreated me."
She stepped back step by step, looking at the indescribable tenderness and the faint trace of apology in his eyes. Step by step, she retreated to the door. "But now, I can't figure it out. I thought that no matter how far you went, I wouldn't hate you …But you proved me wrong."
Xian Guiying watched him as she slowly retreated until she reached the door. Suddenly, she sneered at him before opening the door and walked out quickly.
The sound of the door slamming shut struck people's hearts. Qin Gengxin didn't chase after her; instead, he stood up and walked to the window. He pulled open the curtain and silently looked out at the brightly lit night of H City through the window.
'I thought I wouldn't hate you no matter what you did to me.'
'I thought I wouldn't hate you for the rest of my life.'
That's right!

More than a week ago, Qin Gengxin was lying in a hospital bed at a private hospital in Boston, preparing to undergo surgery.
Acute enteritis broke out too thoroughly. Perhaps it was because he had been too immersed in business all year round and had been eating unhealthy foods, his stomach could no longer hold it anymore and acute enteritis strikes him.
He stayed in the hospital for a week for observation and temporarily cut off contact with the outside world. However, on the second day of his stay, he asked Huang Jingguo to go to the hotel where he had stayed with Xian Guiying before to investigate the matter.
In these few years, he had no intention of investigating anything related to the matter, including accessing the video footage.
However, the look on Xian Guiying's face when she proposed the divorce and the time they spent together had caused his anger and disapproval towards her to gradually dissipate.
That day when she asked for a divorce, he saw the tears she shed after hugging him. It was not that he didn't feel anything. Torturing a woman he cared about and seeing how hurt she was, he finally realized how cruel he was to her.
However, he was still unwilling to investigate the truth about that incident. It was as if he didn't want to open the wounds he didn't want to touch.
But after a day in the hospital, when the doctor wouldn't let him leave, while he was lying in his bed without doing anything,?Qin Gengxin was finally able to calm down and think about many things that had happened.
Nine days ago.
The ward door was pushed open and the doctor was checking Qin Gengxin's condition besides the bed. He told him how much operational risk would happen tomorrow and so on.
Huang Jingguo came in and put the file bag on the table. "Boss, this is what you want."
"Many years have passed, how can you find it so quickly?" Qin Gengxin asked casually before signaling the doctor to leave.
"It's just that the surveillance footage in the hotel lobby, as well as the surveillance footage in the elevator and corridor, are easy to find as long as I use some connections. However, I can't find the one in the room." Huang Jingguo said.
Qin Gengxin nodded and reached for the folder on the table. He pulled out a stack of photos and discs. historical
Huang Jingguo didn't know why his boss asked him to check these items until the videos were in his possession and when he went to get the photos, he immediately guessed that it had something to do with Xian Guiying.
He picked up the laptop and handed it to Qin Gengxin, then walked out of the room.
Qin Gengxin first looked at the photos and frowned the longer he looked at them. Finally, he turned on the laptop and inserted the disc into it.
The screen showed him being helped by Xian Guiying. He was drunk to death. Although Xian Guiying was tall, she still looked small beside him and when she supported him, her steps were a little unstable. Ever since she helped him into the hotel, his whole body wrapped around hers and even when she pushed him away, he didn't let go.
This situation was completely different from what Qin Gengxin had thought.
He only remembered that he was drunk and because Xian Guiying had conceived the child easily, he assumed that it was her fault, that she was doing it intentionally, but the video of them both moving and about their body language all proved to him that he was the one who was attached to her.
Even when Xian Guiying helped him into the elevator, the video recorded how she slammed her arm into his chest angrily, but he was still hugging her.
Afterward, in the elevators and corridors, Xian Guiying was also the one who stumbled as she supported him. Her movements were not very skillful, but she was careful not to let them fall.

Qin Gengxin paused the video and rubbed the space between his eyebrows as he watched them both enter the room.
He flipped the picture in his hand again. The surveillance video was not very clear, and the expression cannot be seen clearly. However, based on Qin Gengxin's previous understanding of Xian Guiying, he knew that she didn't have any evil thoughts on him.
The two times she had explained before their marriage, the things she had said, everything had been real.
She had only explained it to him twice, but that had only been because he chose not to believe it due to his rage. His prejudice against her was too deep, and from then on, she chose to be quiet, no longer insisting on this explanation.
Two years...
Qin Gengxin put the photo in his hand and watched the paused video on the laptop. As they both entered the room, the video stopped in there.
He had always believed in his own self-control. Could it be that he did something to her that night in his room?
It wasn't that he didn't have any feelings for Xian Guiying. It was just that he didn't want to touch her, nor did he want to cross over the lines to avoid losing his mind.
He still remembered what she had asked him on the wedding night.
"Why did you do this to me? Why marry me if you are unwilling?" She asked softly.
At that moment, Qin Gengxin looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. In a voice she could only hear, he said, "This is the path you have chosen. Even if you want to regret it, it's already too late!"
On the day of their wedding, he remembered that he had said too much. Some he had almost forgotten, while others he still remembered clearly.
Because of these footages, coupled with his understanding of Xian Guiying in the past, Qin Gengxin no longer needed to check any further to know that he was the one at fault.
