Chapter 1051: Qin Yiyan is playing with her

After tidying up a little, Liu Xin'ai heard a knock on the bedroom door; it was the servant from outside coming to deliver breakfast.

She quickly changed out of the clothes she was wearing, then opened the door and let the other person in.

"Madam."

The servant greeted Liu Xin'ai respectfully, walked in, and placed the breakfast in their hands on the table to the side.

Liu Xin'ai, however, glanced outside the door, hesitated for two seconds, and then asked, "Where is Qin Yiyan?"

"President Qin went out early this morning."

The servant answered hurriedly, and while speaking, carefully observed Liu Xin'ai's expression, then added, "When President Qin left, he also said that we should not disturb Madam's rest, let Madam sleep a little longer, and that breakfast should be made to Madam's liking. Also, hearing that you are going out this afternoon, President Qin already arranged a driver this morning, waiting at any time..."

"Alright, I know."

Liu Xin'ai did not want to keep listening, directly interrupted the other person's words, and waved her hand.

The servant had no choice but to obediently shut their mouth, lower their head, and leave.

With a "click" sound, the room returned to silence.

Liu Xin'ai looked at the breakfast before her, but only felt she had no appetite at all; thinking of what the servant had just said, her heart felt even more turbulent.

Heh... not disturb her rest?

Qin Yiyan certainly knows how to act; every time he pretends in front of others as if he cares about her very much, little does he know that this will only make her feel more annoyed.

Memories of last night suddenly invaded her mind again, making Liu Xin'ai unable to help but frown.

Immediately after, she suddenly heard her phone seem to ring once.

Slightly startled, she hurriedly turned her head to look toward the direction of the bedside.

Then she saw a faint light.

Stunned for two seconds, she hurriedly walked quickly to the bedside, grabbed the phone, and her expression was somewhat surprised.

Qin Yiyan actually left the phone for her?

She had thought that after what happened last night, he would once again confiscate her phone...

... and swap it back to the original one that could only contact family.

Is this considered compensation for last night?

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for an instant, somewhat not understanding what exactly Qin Yiyan wanted to do.

Then she sneered.

No.

He would not be that kind.

Perhaps he just forgot to take it with him.

However, since she was going out today anyway, she would definitely need to bring a phone.

Without thinking more, she intended to just toss the phone to the side.

But as she inadvertently lowered her eyes, she saw a prominent push notification clearly displayed on the screen!

The news headline was very eye-catching; it seemed to expose a female model being kept by someone, along with some explosive pictures and videos.

Liu Xin'ai had always been uninterested in such news, but after glancing at it, she suddenly felt the model's name looked somewhat familiar.

It seemed to be the one who made the news with Qin Yiyan yesterday...

Liu Xin'ai stared at it for two seconds, but still could not help but click on the headline.

Then she saw many unsightly pictures and the indecent records of that model having been kept by many people over the years.

At the end, the Qin Clan's accountability for yesterday's gossip news and a short video were attached.

Liu Xin'ai curiously clicked on it.

Then she saw Qin Yiyan's figure appear in the video.

The model walked slowly toward him, and at a glance, it was clear she had deliberately fallen into his arms!

Then, in less than a second, Qin Yiyan pushed the person away directly and seemed to have said something; the model immediately left in a panic without looking back.

From beginning to end, the interaction between the two did not exceed half a minute.

With such a video released, even a blind person could see that the previous photos with clearer angles of intimacy were deliberately staged.

At the end of the news was a statement from Qin Yiyan himself.

It was written with sincere emotion that in the past he could not care about such scandals, but now, he is already married, and for the sake of his wife's feelings, he advises certain people not to harbor any crooked ideas again, otherwise, he will produce more things that everyone wants to see.

After silently finishing the entire news piece, Liu Xin'ai stared blankly at the phone screen, her mind somewhat blank.

Yesterday's news... was fake?

Then why didn't Qin Yiyan...

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for an instant; thinking of how he had asked yesterday if she would believe him if he explained, her expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

No wonder he said that...

So he had long been prepared to have someone clarify it!

And then he deliberately wanted to play with her?

Liu Xin'ai was lost in thought for a long while, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly clicked on the comments.

Then, as expected, she saw the bottom was filled with praise for Qin Yiyan, complimenting him for being affectionate and devoted to his wife!

Liu Xin'ai read two lines, then could no longer bear it and directly turned off the screen.

Qin Yiyan was doing it on purpose... he must be doing it on purpose!

Feeling a bit stifled in her heart, Liu Xin'ai this time really tossed the phone to the side and stopped looking at those annoying messages.

In the afternoon—she still hadn't eaten much, and seeing that the agreed time was approaching, she quickly tidied up and went straight out, heading to the cafe where she had an appointment with Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang.

Then, just as she got out of the car, she saw Cai Xiaotang already sitting inside, waving at her through the glass.

"Why did you two come so early?"

Sitting down in her seat, a long-absent, comforted smile appeared on Liu Xin'ai's face.

Immediately after, she heard Cai Xiaotang reply: "Because it wasn't easy to get you out here, we were afraid you'd be waiting for a long time~"

Cai Xiaotang answered first and exchanged a glance with Jiang Baobao.

The two of them had just been talking about Qin Yiyan's clarification from the morning, and now that they saw Liu Xin'ai didn't seem to be acting too differently, they finally felt a little more at ease.

"Xinaijie, how have you been lately?"

Cai Xiaotang asked tentatively.

"I... everything is the same as usual."

Liu Xin'ai picked up her coffee and took a sip, a flash of unnatural expression quickly crossing her eyes.

Her recent situation was really nothing worth talking about.

Talking about it would only cause her friends to worry in vain.

Since she had already chosen this path, she would have to walk it alone to the end.

"How are you two doing lately? You seem very busy?"

Not wanting to keep the topic on herself, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly asked in return.

"Us..."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly and exchanged a helpless glance with Jiang Baobao.

They could both see the exhaustion in Liu Xin'ai's eyes.

It was an aura of exhaustion and loneliness that radiated from the inside out.

Wanting to make Liu Xin'ai happier, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly picked out some recent interesting stories to tell her.

Liu Xin'ai listened quietly the whole time, and when she heard something funny, she would cooperate by laughing out loud.

It was just that the deep sense of exhaustion on her body never dissipated.

Cai Xiaotang also gradually stopped and looked at her with some concern.

In the end, she couldn't help but ask: "Xinaijie, are you... troubled by something? If you don't mind, you can actually tell us..."
