Bai Nuying bit her lips and furrowed her brows.
"I don't want to hurt you, and I also don't want to be accused of bullying others. Your mother is forcing you to recognize the truth, but no matter what, from a mother's point of view, she can't do anything to you, and she won't hurt you."
Xian Guiying turned around to leave after she finished speaking sincerely. Bai Nuying looked at her with a blank expression. "Xian Guiying, if you're not my love rival, perhaps I will like you a lot."
Xian Guiying paused for a moment and looked back at her with a faint smile. "I'm sorry, but whether or not you want to interfere in my marriage, I will not like you."
As she got into the car, she felt her stomach churning violently. She opened the window and leaned against the seat for a while, and the churning feeling in her stomach finally became a little better. That type of nausea was the worst feeling she needed to bear, and most pregnant women couldn't avoid it.
Xian Guiying no longer looked at Bai Nuying. Regardless of whether or not she would realize the truth, Xian Guiying had done what she needed to do with her. She had solved the problem that had plagued her for so long.

Qin Corporation, the CEO's Office.
"Are you so sure about your decision? I don't even have a chance of winning myself, so you should be quite clear about that." Qin Gengxin was smiling as he spoke to Hendrickson through the video call.
Hendrickson, who was standing opposite of him, pointed at him and said, "I believe in you, Qin Gengxin. We have been working together all these years, and it is enough for us to help you turn the tide. Isn't Mrs. Bai's daughter is also on your side?"
"It has nothing to do with her daughter, but this time, it was all thanks to you, Mr. Hendrickson. After so many years of friendship with Mrs. Bai, we were able to break away from her claws and gain some interest."
"Then let's continue with the current plan. Within a few days, Bai Group's stocks will drop greatly. Mrs. Bai will gradually become aware that something is amiss and get into a mess by herself first."
Qin Gengxin smiled as he touched his chin. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure walk past the office. He raised his eyebrow and then, Huang Jingguo knocked on the door. "Boss, you asked me to ask the Finance Department for the report just now."
Saying that, Huang Jingguo walked over, putting the report on the desk, then softly laughed and said, "Guess who's here?"
Qin Gengxin glanced outside the door and smiled. Just now, he had seen the figure that walked past. He glanced at Huang Jingguo and said, "Don't keep me in suspense."
With that, he turned to the video and said, "Mr. Hendrickson, I have something to discuss. Let's talk when we meet again."
"Alright."
When Xian Guiying reached the door, she slowed down her footsteps. She was wearing a simple cotton tracksuit, her long hair tied up in a neat ponytail, and was holding a thermos in her hand. In a blink of an eye, she was carefully looking at the electronic watch in the hallway.
Qin Gengxin got up. Xian Guiying immediately heard footsteps behind her and she was suddenly pulled into the office by him.
"Why did you suddenly come out?" Xian Guiying pushed him with a smile. "Just now, I saw Huang Jingguo brought something to you, so I decided to wait outside the door."
"You are my wife. You can come inside whenever you want." Qin Gengxin kissed her cheek and then took the thermos cup from her. He opened the lid and looked at the soup. He smiled and asked, "Are you making lunch for me?"
"After sending Qianqian to kindergarten, I decided to get out. I was so bored inside the house that I nearly went crazy. Thinking about how recently you were busy with your company matters and afraid that you didn't have enough nutrition, I stewed some soup and brought it over to you. Let me put it this way first. This is only one time. I won't be sending you soup every day like a good wife. I only come here occasionally when I'm really free and mad. What if I come here every day and run into something I shouldn't have seen in your office?"
Qin Gengxin smiled and placed the thermos on his desk before turning around to hug her. "What can you see? It's not like you don't know how clean I am."
After saying that, he sniffed her neck and said, "Tsk tsk, your entire body smells like a good mother and wife. Is this the Xian Guiying that I knew back then?"
Xian Guiying turned her head to look at the bookcase in his office. "To be honest, in the past, when I was very busy in the company, I really couldn't wait to rest like this every day. However, when I really have nothing better to do, I miss the feeling of working very much. Since I have nothing to do, I come here to discuss a few things with you."
Without waiting for her to say anything, Qin Gengxin pulled her to the couch and sat her down. He sat beside her and looked at her with warmth in his eyes. "What's the matter? You want to return to Xian Enterprise?"
She was surnamed Xian, and Xian Enterprise was also her brother's company. Now that she wanted to work, returning to Xian Enterprise was naturally the first choice. It was indeed not hard to guess.
"I knew you would mind, so I wanted to discuss it with you." Xian Guiying said softly, "Qin Gengxin, I have put in a lot of effort into Xian Enterprise. Even if I can't work for a long time, I still want to go back and help out."
Qin Gengxin went silent for a moment, then he said, "If I said I didn't mind, it would be a lie. But Guiying, even if I knew there's nothing wrong with you and Wei Zhengsheng, I would still feel uneasy all day just thinking about you working with him."
After saying that, he let out an exaggerated sigh and leaned against the back of the couch. "This kind of feeling will torture me to death."
"I didn't say that I wanted to go back to the headquarters. I wanted to go to a subsidiary company, and this subsidiary company was a new type of company that I had planned when I was still managing Xian Enterprise. Currently, the supervisor of this subsidiary company needs to take a leave of absence for a few months, and it just so happens that I still have a few months where I can walk freely, so I might find something to do. I want to go to this subsidiary company to develop it."
Qin Gengxin sat up straight. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I was just telling you …"
"Then you can only manage that company under the conditions that your body allows. If it's too close to the due date and your body can't take it, then you must go home and take care of yourself."
"Alright!" Xian Guiying smiled and held his hand excitedly, but Qin Gengxin immediately pushed her hand away and threw himself at her. He kissed her lips before saying in a hoarse and low voice. "Once I settle with the Bai Group, we'll immediately arrange the wedding. I can't let you get married with a big belly anymore, my heart will ache ~"
Xian Guiying smiled and nodded. She raised her hand to push him. "This is an office. Don't act recklessly."
"I want to act recklessly, but the little ancestor inside your belly doesn't allow me to do that." Qin Gengxin helped her sit up, touched her belly, and said softly, "You've been very pale these past few days. Do you feel bad anywhere?"
