Chapter 1099: A Woman with Worrying Emotional Intelligence

"My god, Doctor Liu, your husband is just too handsome! He's like a celebrity!" The young nurse's exclamation came from the bottom of her heart.

And Qin Yiyan, who was being praised by her, curved his lips into a smile.

He handed the bag over and said, "This box of chocolates was brought back from Italy by a friend. I brought it today because I wanted Xin'ai to share it with her colleagues. Since you are here, I wonder... could you help me do the honors?"

"Of course, no problem! Then... I won't disturb you two any longer. About the report, Doctor Liu, you can tell me later!"

The young nurse took the bag and left the office excitedly.

This young nurse had a lively personality.

And she was good at spreading gossip.

If she went out for a walk... I'm afraid the colleagues on the entire floor would come over to watch the spectacle.

This assumption gave Liu Xin'ai a headache.

She couldn't let the assumption become reality!

Thinking of the bento in the cabinet, Liu Xin'ai reached out to take it, even putting on the appearance of wanting to eat.

Then she said, "I'm going to eat now, if you don't have anything else..."

"There is one more thing. This Sunday afternoon, there is a stage play performance; I want to take you to see it."

What stage play.

Liu Xin'ai wasn't interested at all!

But in order to make Qin Yiyan leave quickly, she replied offhandedly, "Got it."

"Mm, then go ahead and eat."

Qin Yiyan left, satisfied.

And not long after he left, some busybodies ran over to see the handsome man.

Finding that they had missed him, everyone was somewhat annoyed.

But Liu Xin'ai was exhausted.

She loved her work.

And she also hoped the work environment could be a bit simpler.

She had done well before, not mixing personal matters with work.

As a result...

Now everything had been disrupted by Qin Yiyan!

Liu Xin'ai really couldn't understand why Qin Yiyan had to come and deliver chocolates.

Could it be...

That maintaining a loving persona among family and friends was no longer enough for him, and he also had to make her colleagues acknowledge that he was a good husband?

If such an assumption were true, then Qin Yiyan was truly painstaking!

Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but sigh.

She would not give him another chance to come to the Hospital to put on a show.

This was a place of work; she couldn't let him make it a mess!

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes and ate a bite of food, full of worries.

Then...

Her movements paused for a moment.

It was also at this time that she finally noticed what was in the lunch box.

She had to admit, the servant had prepared the bento very attentively.

The food inside looked very appetizing.

Liu Xin'ai tasted the other dishes as well and found that they all tasted quite good.

While tasting, she had unknowingly finished all the food!

With food in her stomach, Liu Xin'ai felt her mood had recovered quite a bit.

But the moment she thought of Qin Yiyan...

Her expression became somewhat indescribable.

She decided that when she got home after work, she would have a good talk with Qin Yiyan.

As for to what extent they could talk, or what results would come of it...

Liu Xin'ai wasn't quite sure.

But she had to try her best.

Qin Yiyan didn't yet know Liu Xin'ai's thoughts.

He had the servant prepare some delicious food, waiting for Liu Xin'ai to get off work.

Who knew that after Liu Xin'ai returned from work, her complexion... didn't look very good.

Qin Yiyan asked in confusion, "Who upset you?"

Liu Xin'ai swept a glance at him.

Heh...

Besides him, who else could it be?

"I want to talk to you."

She got straight to the point.

"Is it about the chocolates?" Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow.

Liu Xin'ai nodded.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan suddenly wore a faint smile and said in an upbeat tone, "Actually, you don't have to thank me."

"Thanks?" Liu Xin'ai looked at Qin Yiyan with surprise and confusion, her eyes full of suspicion.

Qin Yiyan, however, had his own reasons; he said unhurriedly, "I helped you build relationships with your colleagues with just a box of chocolates, shouldn't you thank me?"

In Qin Yiyan's view, Liu Xin'ai was not good at socializing, rarely considered human relations, and was very rigid in her ways.

Such a person was easily marginalized in a workplace.

To help Liu Xin'ai get along with everyone, some small gifts were indispensable.

Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment, and only then did she realize—so... Qin Yiyan didn't come to the Hospital to show off their affection, but did it for her?

But...

Liu Xin'ai looked straight at Qin Yiyan and still said with some dissatisfaction, "Before you make decisions, shouldn't you discuss them with me? You appeared so suddenly today, and my colleagues are all gossiping about you!"

"Then let them gossip; it's not like I'm someone who can't be seen in public."

"But I don't like being someone else's topic of conversation! I also hope... if there's nothing important, you won't come to find me while I'm working."

"Liu Xin'ai! What do you mean by saying that? Do you think everything I did today was superfluous?"

"... Yes."

As the words fell, Liu Xin'ai clearly saw Qin Yiyan's expression change.

The look in his eyes as he stared at her also turned cold.

In this atmosphere, an argument was inevitable.

But the next second...

Qin Yiyan actually turned around directly and went back into the room!

Liu Xin'ai was half a beat slow before she looked up to see Qin Yiyan's retreating figure.

And the moment the figure disappeared, she heard the sound of a door being slammed shut.

Bang—the huge sound made Liu Xin'ai's heart jump fiercely.

But after the initial chaos, there was only calm.

Liu Xin'ai did not want to know the reason for Qin Yiyan's strange behavior over the past two days.

She only wanted both of them to retreat into their own safe zones and keep their distance.

Only then could she feel at ease.

But Qin Yiyan in the room could not feel at ease at all.

He was so angry he could die!

Didn't this woman go to attend a lecture?

How was she still like a block of wood!

Where did she listen to that lecture?!

The more Qin Yiyan thought about it, the angrier he got, and he even lost his patience.

He wanted even more to confront Liu Xin'ai face-to-face.

It was only after calming down slightly that Qin Yiyan overturned all his previous thoughts.

He knew that Liu Xin'ai's emotional intelligence was worrying.

A woman like this needed more time to fully grasp what she had learned.

In that case...

He would just give her some more time.

Qin Yiyan's anger dissipated.

He silently reached a reconciliation with himself.

It was just that for the days that followed, he was no longer proactive.

Until the weekend.

Liu Xin'ai was very busy, and only this half-day on the weekend counted as her true day off.

But even for half a day, she wanted to find something meaningful to do.

For example, spending time at the library.

Liu Xin'ai happened to want to borrow two professional books, so she put on a bag and prepared to go out.

Qin Yiyan called her to stop, saying in a cool tone, "You really didn't take what I said to heart, did you?"

"What?"

Liu Xin'ai stopped in her tracks.

"Didn't I tell you before that we were going to see a play this weekend?"

Qin Yiyan said with dissatisfaction.

See a play?

Liu Xin'ai tried hard to recall.

Only then did she dig this small matter out from some corner of her memory.

The agreement did indeed exist.

But times had changed, and now that the relationship between the two was very tense, there was simply no need to see a play, right?

Liu Xin'ai frowned at Qin Yiyan, pondering how to refuse...

Unfortunately, Qin Yiyan did not give Liu Xin'ai a chance to refuse.

He urged Liu Xin'ai to change her clothes and then took her to the Art Theater.

It was only after entering the theater that Liu Xin'ai discovered this was actually a play she liked very much.

This... was it a coincidence?
