Chapter 1097: Surprised by Liu Xin'ai

Liu Xin'ai did not have such deep obsessions, and she said casually, "If listening to a lecture could solve problems, there wouldn't be so many lovesick men and women in the world."

"Oh, but what if a certain sentence could suddenly make you see the light?"

"

See the light?

Liu Xin'ai carefully savored these four words...

"Dr. Liu, your rice ball is heated up!"

Liu Xin'ai snapped back to reality.

She smiled at the young nurse and left with the rice ball.

Then, after eating, she threw herself back into her work, having long since cast that lecture to the back of her mind.

Until she got off work.

According to her original plan, Liu Xin'ai was supposed to go to the Laboratory after work.

As it turned out, the Laboratory administrator suddenly told Liu Xin'ai that the building where the Laboratory was located was undergoing routine maintenance and would have a power outage this evening.

This meant that the experiment could not be done.

With her time freed up, Liu Xin'ai stood on the side of the street, but in her mind, suddenly...

The address of the lecture popped up.

Actually, that place was not far from here; if she took the subway, she would arrive in two or three stops.

How about...

Going to listen to it?

A small thought emerged in Liu Xin'ai's heart.

Then, this thought gradually became firm.

Liu Xin'ai also stepped toward the subway station.

Because it was the evening rush hour, there were many people in the subway.

Liu Xin'ai endured the crowding and pushing until she reached her destination.

Following the flow of people out of the subway, Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath.

And then...

Her small hands took a hat and a mask out of her pocket and carefully put them on.

She was just going to listen to a lecture.

She didn't want to run into anyone she knew.

And one of the ways to avoid being recognized was to disguise herself well.

Liu Xin'ai blended into the crowd and walked out of the station exit.

But unexpectedly, not far away—Lin Ze was driving, and he glanced casually at the roadside, then asked suspiciously, "Huh, is that Madam?"

Qin Yiyan, who was sitting in the back row, looked over upon hearing this.

He was stunned for a moment.

It really was Liu Xin'ai.

But why would she appear here?

Qin Yiyan's eyes turned dark, and he stared without blinking.

Then he saw that woman carefully put on her hat and mask.

This action...

Was clearly a guilty conscience!

Qin Yiyan did not know what he was thinking, but he took out his phone and called Liu Xin'ai.

Hearing the ringtone, Liu Xin'ai took out her phone.

Seeing that it was a call from Qin Yiyan, her brows furrowed slightly.

But she still answered it and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"Where are you?"

"... At the Hospital, I have to work overtime today."

The Hospital?

This woman actually dared to lie!!!

The temperature around Qin Yiyan suddenly turned cold.

But before he could start getting angry, Liu Xin'ai spoke first, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

As her voice fell, a "beep-beep" sound came from the phone.

Qin Yiyan gripped his phone tightly, his eyes terrifyingly cold!

In his impression, although Liu Xin'ai was rigid and boring, she disdained lying.

Unless...

It concerned Jiang Chenghao!

So she must have come to meet Jiang Chenghao!

The two of them must have used this method... to meet many times!

Only he was still like a fool, believing that Liu Xin'ai had learned to be obedient!

!!

An increasingly furious Qin Yiyan suddenly slammed his hand against the car door.

"Bang!" went a sound!

Lin Ze was given a big fright, thinking the car had been hit.

But the next second...

Qin Yiyan pushed open the car door and left!

Lin Ze panicked and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? The meeting is about to start..."

"The meeting is canceled!"

"But..."

Lin Ze wanted to continue asking, but the cars behind had already started honking.

Helpless, Lin Ze could only circle to the parking lot first, then think of a way to catch up with Qin Yiyan.

Liu Xin'ai did not yet know she was being watched.

Following the address, she found an auditorium.

The lecture had already begun.

At this moment, a woman with short hair was standing in front of a microphone, speaking passionately about something.

The people below were all listening with rapt attention.

Liu Xin'ai lowered the brim of her hat and found a seat in a corner.

Sitting next to her was a middle-aged woman.

The woman's brows and eyes drooped; looking at her features, one could sense that her life was not very happy.

However, she was listening very seriously and was even taking notes.

She was also very warm; discovering that Liu Xin'ai had nothing, she lent her some paper and a pen.

Liu Xin'ai had wanted to wave her hand to refuse, but the other party was truly insistent.

Unable to refuse such kindness, she had no choice but to thank her and scribble a few strokes on the paper.

In fact, this expert's lecture was similar to chicken soup for the soul.

Listening to it was harmless.

But it also served no substantial purpose.

Forget it, she was already here anyway.

On the other side—seeing that Liu Xin'ai had actually walked into the auditorium, Qin Yiyan was stunned; he followed her in and found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

Then, after listening to the content of the lecture for only a few seconds...

The expression on his face began to warm up bit by bit.

So it turned out he had misunderstood!

This woman was not truly a block of wood!

She had thought about changing!!!

This discovery put Qin Yiyan in a very good mood.

He did not disturb the "earnest" Liu Xin'ai, but simply left quietly.

Just as he walked out of the auditorium, Qin Yiyan ran into Lin Ze.

Lin Ze had finally found Qin Yiyan and hurriedly asked the question he hadn't finished earlier: "There is a video conference later; should that be canceled too?"

"Mm, move it to tomorrow morning."

Qin Yiyan's tone was relaxed, and not a trace of coldness remained!

There was even a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and brows!?

Lin Ze was puzzled.

He couldn't understand how, in the time it took him just to park the car, Qin Yiyan had undergone such a major change in mood.

Qin Yiyan did not explain.

He only told Lin Ze to drive and take him home.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'ai in the auditorium was already so bored she wanted to yawn.

The middle-aged woman beside her stared at her for a while.

Then she asked in a low voice, "Are you also not getting along well with your husband?"

Facing a stranger, Liu Xin'ai's guard was actually not as high, and she nodded gently.

"Young people today, if they feel they don't love each other, they get a divorce; it's rare to see someone like you who thinks of ways to change."

Liu Xin'ai really wanted to sigh.

She thought to herself, how could she not want a divorce too?

Liu Xin'ai pressed the pen cap again and again, using it to divert the disappointment in her heart.

The middle-aged woman, however, was in the mood to chat and asked again, "So, does your husband have some problem? Does he smoke, drink, and lack ambition, or is he bad at handling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, or does he hit you, scold you, or find a mistress?"

"Uh... none of those," Liu Xin'ai shook her head.

"None? Then why did you come to listen to this lecture? A husband like that is hard to find even with a lantern!" The middle-aged woman was puzzled and even a little envious.

Liu Xin'ai was startled upon hearing this; she paused for two seconds before speaking softly:

"But I don't love him..."

"Not everyone can grow old with the person they love; if you can't find that, then just live your life well! Actually, compared to most people, you are already very lucky."

Thinking of herself, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but show a melancholy look.

Liu Xin'ai, however, curled her lips in self-mockery, unable to understand why there were always people saying she was lucky.

Could the quality of life really be judged by a few words?

How unfair that would be!

In an instant, Liu Xin'ai felt this lecture was dull and flavorless.

She stood up, ready to leave.

Just at this moment...

The expert held a book in his hand and grandly introduced it to everyone: "What I have spoken about today is only a part; if you all still want more, you can buy a copy of the 'Love Manual' I personally compiled and read it slowly at home!"

So...

The purpose of holding this lecture was just to sell books?

And the promotional slogan was just a gimmick?

Liu Xin'ai felt she had been deceived.

Fortunately, she did not intend to buy the book, otherwise, it would be paying an intelligence tax.

But there were quite a few people on the scene who took out their wallets voluntarily.

Including the middle-aged woman beside Liu Xin'ai.

Watching everyone swarm forward, Liu Xin'ai sighed softly.

Then she moved away from the crowd and left the auditorium alone.
