Chapter 1059: Do You Want Something to Happen?

"Ah!"

Liu Xin'ai had not yet fully woken up, but she was so startled by this that she opened her eyes in an instant!

The scent rushing toward her was entirely that of the man, familiar yet something she resisted.

Liu Xin'ai blinked blankly, unable to collect her thoughts for a moment.

Then, she reacted violently and shoved the person in front of her away!

"What are you doing?"

She looked at Qin Yiyan with vigilance.

Her face, just woken from sleep, was not as cold as usual; instead, it looked somewhat dazed and carried a hint of displeasure at being disturbed, a temperament completely different from her usual self.

"Hmm?"

Qin Yiyan responded vaguely, and upon hearing her, he feigned having just woken up and opened his eyes.

He then said as a matter of course: "It was just a hug, what, do you want something else to happen?"

"You!"

Liu Xin'ai could not help but be angered by his attitude, the word "scoundrel" right on the tip of her tongue.

But thinking of the relationship between the two, it was truly not a word that could be used.

Indeed, even the most intimate acts had already occurred, so what did a hug matter?

It was just that being held in the arms of someone she disliked the moment she opened her eyes made her feel uncomfortable.

"Mom and Dad will be here soon. A reminder: you had best start paying attention to your choice of words and attitude when speaking to me from now on."

Qin Yiyan spoke again, offering a "kind" reminder.

Liu Xin'ai got a headache just thinking about this matter, so she simply couldn't be bothered to say another word and rolled out of bed to wash up.

Still carrying some lingering morning grumpiness, she slammed the bathroom door with a deafening bang.

Qin Yiyan leaned against the bedside, watching Liu Xin'ai's stifled expression just now, his mood recovering somewhat, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

In fact, he could have easily found an excuse to refuse his parents' request.

However, there was no need.

After all, it seemed he hadn't seen her acting for a long time.

It really was something to look forward to...

After all, his parents had a "purpose" for coming this time.

Soon, Liu Xin'ai finished washing up.

Emerging from the bathroom, she had even changed her clothes, and without sparing a single glance for Qin Yiyan, she walked straight out of the bedroom.

Soon, Qin Yiyan also finished getting ready.

The two sat silently at the table and finished breakfast.

Almost as soon as they put down their chopsticks, the doorbell rang.

"Dad, Mom."

Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai greeted them together at the door.

"Xin'ai."

As soon as Qin Yiyan's mother, Chi Rong, entered the door, she took hold of Liu Xin'ai's hand and looked her up and down for a long time.

She then said with some heartache: "You really have lost weight. I heard from Yiyan a few days ago that you weren't feeling well and weren't sleeping soundly, so I specifically brought you some supplements today; they are especially good for calming the mind..."

"Thank you, Mom..."

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly thanked her, a perfectly qualified, gentle smile appearing on her lips, though she felt somewhat surprised inside.

How did Qin Yiyan know she hadn't been feeling well lately?

He clearly hadn't been home for a while...

Could it be that the servants told him?

Or did he ask on his own initiative?

Liu Xin'ai was somewhat puzzled, then realized she was thinking about Qin Yiyan's affairs again and hurriedly stopped.

As they spoke, they walked into the living room.

Chi Rong kept holding Liu Xin'ai's hand.

As soon as she sat down on the sofa, she asked with a smile: "Xin'ai, are your father and I coming too suddenly? Will you feel like we're disturbing your and Yiyan's world for two?"

"Of course not, Mom. This is also your and Dad's home; you can come whenever you like and stay as long as you want."

Liu Xin'ai answered very appropriately.

Just as she finished speaking, she felt two very obvious gazes land on her.

She subconsciously turned her head and happened to meet the gaze Qin Yiyan was casting her way.

In that gaze, besides the obvious amusement, there seemed to be a hint of watching a show, which she was all too familiar with.

Every time they had to perform in front of their parents, Qin Yiyan would always look at her with this expression.

To others, it seemed full of love.

In her eyes, there was only mockery.

Because they both knew clearly that all the "affection" was fake.

It was more fragile and pathetic than a soap bubble that bursts at a touch.

Just as Liu Xin'ai was thinking this, she suddenly heard Chi Rong ask again: "Xin'ai, actually, the main reason your father and I came this time is to ask you both, do you have any plans regarding having children?"

"Children?"

Liu Xin'ai had been somewhat distracted, but upon hearing these two words, she instantly snapped back to reality, a flash of panic crossing her eyes.

Beside her, Qin Yiyan's father, Qin Cha, smiled and said in a gentle tone: "That's right, Xin'ai. You and Yiyan have been married for over half a year now, so it's time to consider the matter of children. Firstly, it's for the sake of your ages, and secondly... I've heard about your father's recent health condition. If he knew you were pregnant, he would be happy, and perhaps if his mood improved, his condition might take a turn for the better, right?"

"Dad, I..."

Liu Xin'ai had always known how eager both families were regarding the matter of "children," yet she had been somewhat avoidant.

But now that she had been asked directly to her face, it would be rather difficult to try and shirk it.

Because she had always been the type of person who would not let her elders down.

But how could two people without love bring a little life into the world?

Growing up in such a family, a child would not be happy either!

And besides...

Having a child was not his business alone!

She looked at Qin Yiyan almost subconsciously.

Only to find that he still had an expression of watching a show, seemingly having no intention of speaking up.

Liu Xin'ai suddenly could not help but feel a bit angry.

Why wasn't Qin Yiyan saying anything?

Could it be that he also wanted to...

Liu Xin'ai suddenly thought of something, and her heart gave a sudden jolt.

That's right...

Every time they had relations, Qin Yiyan had never taken any contraceptive measures.

It was because she had been secretly taking birth control pills all along that there had been no developments until now.

It was only because he had never brought it up that she had taken it for granted that he was indifferent about the matter of children.

So, did he actually want a child too?

"Xin'ai, why aren't you saying anything? Did I scare you?"

Chi Rong's voice suddenly rang in her ear, abruptly pulling back Liu Xin'ai's thoughts.

"No, Mom, it's just, I..."

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly replied, stammering, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, she finally thought of using work as an excuse to hold them off for the moment, and hurriedly continued: "Mom, it's my work..."

"We have both been too busy with work lately."

Qin Yiyan suddenly interjected at this moment.

Liu Xin'ai paused abruptly and looked at him subconsciously.

As their eyes met, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the depths of her heart.

Immediately after, she heard Qin Yiyan continue with a smile: "Actually, Xin'ai is fine; it's mainly that I'm too busy. Since I'm the only one in our family, there's no one to help me share the load. But don't worry, we already have plans to have children. After all, Xin'ai is a girl and is thin-skinned; Mom, if you keep talking, she really will be too shy to know what to say."

"Really? You really have plans? Then we can rest easy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Rong and Qin Chao were immediately full of gratification.

Liu Xin'ai, however, stiffened all over.

She just knew it...

Qin Yiyan would not stand on her side.
