Chapter 1101: Discovering Her Secret

After chatting with her friend for a few more moments, Liu Xin'ai hung up the phone with great reluctance.

Then she went back to continue watching the play.

The content of the play was no longer as appealing to Liu Xin'ai.

Her mind kept drifting back to the relaxed time she had spent with her friend.

When the play ended, Qin Yiyan drove Liu Xin'ai home.

Liu Xin'ai felt the car was a bit stuffy, so she reached out and pressed the button for the window.

Instantly, a refreshing breeze blew in.

Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath, and her chest felt a wave of relief!

Although she said nothing, Qin Yiyan could sense that she was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Was it because of his arrangements?

Or was it because of the phone call from that friend?

Qin Yiyan looked straight ahead, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

After driving home, Liu Xin'ai suddenly received a call from the Hospital and went to a quiet corner by herself.

Qin Yiyan took a box out of the car's trunk.

Previously, when the domestic helper was cleaning, she had accidentally broken Liu Xin'ai's skincare products.

Liu Xin'ai did not blame the helper.

But because she was busy with work, she hadn't gone to buy new ones.

Qin Yiyan knew about this, so he had someone go to the counter to buy a new set.

He had intended to give it to her directly just now.

But now, he suddenly didn't want to...

He wanted to see what her reaction would be after she discovered it.

Whether she would take the initiative to thank him.

A hint of a smile that he himself had not noticed flashed in Qin Yiyan's eyes.

At this moment, Qin Yiyan took the box of skincare products and walked into the bathroom of Liu Xin'ai's bedroom.

Liu Xin'ai's skincare products were all kept in the cabinet behind the mirror.

He pulled open the cabinet door casually, but seeing the box that originally held the skincare products, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The skincare products were all broken, so why keep the box?

Thinking this, he reached out to take the box out and throw it away, to replace it with the new one.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he picked it up—he felt that there was something inside!

Qin Yiyan was startled; he hurriedly opened it and poured the contents into his palm.

Then, his pupils shrank violently!

This thing... he recognized it!

This was the contraceptive pill developed by the pharmaceutical factory invested in by their Qin Clan!!!

If he hadn't participated in this project, he would never have recognized this thing!!!

It's just that...

This woman, Liu Xin'ai... she actually hid this kind of thing!!!

And she deliberately swapped the packaging, hiding it in this skincare product box!!!

The small pill made Qin Yiyan's gaze turn pitch-black in an instant.

His palm also clenched tightly.

His rage was like dynamite; a single touch could blow everything to smithereens!

But even though he was furious, Qin Yiyan did not let his anger override his reason.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Liu Xin'ai to return.

The next second—a burst of footsteps sounded outside the room.

The unsuspecting Liu Xin'ai was given a huge fright by the person who had suddenly appeared in the room.

Steadying her nerves, she frowned and said, "You..."

Then, having said only one word, she fell silent.

Because...

She saw the pill in Qin Yiyan's hand!

But...

She had clearly hidden it so discreetly, how could it have been discovered?!

And... did Qin Yiyan know this was a contraceptive pill?

How could he possibly recognize that these little pills, one by one, were contraceptive pills?

As Liu Xin'ai was pondering this, her mind suddenly went blank!

And her reaction made Qin Yiyan's heart turn completely cold!

"Liu Xin'ai, is this the sincerity you give me?!" An enraged Qin Yiyan threw the pill onto the floor with force and roared.

Liu Xin'ai was certain now.

Qin Yiyan had indeed recognized it; he knew it was a contraceptive pill.

Liu Xin'ai's heart panicked instantly, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

And Qin Yiyan, like a crazed beast, pressed in step by step.

After forcing Liu Xin'ai into the corner, Qin Yiyan grabbed her arm and demanded, "Speak! Why aren't you saying anything? Exactly when did you start taking contraceptive pills?"

Hearing him say those three words with such accuracy, Liu Xin'ai immediately lowered her gaze, yet she suddenly calmed down.

She took a deep breath and said in a flat tone, "What can I say? Haven't you already seen it all?"

The contraceptive pills were truly, undeniably there.

Even if Liu Xin'ai were silver-tongued, she could not defend herself.

What's more...

She had no intention of defending herself at all.

Watching Liu Xin'ai's submissive appearance, Qin Yiyan clenched his fists so hard his knuckles cracked.

An angry voice burst through his teeth: "So, every time I touched you before, you had taken contraceptive pills, is that right?"

"... Yes."

"Liu Xin'ai, do you really not want to conceive my child that much!?"

His fury was like a thunderclap, crashing down on Liu Xin'ai's head, making her feel somewhat terrified.

Yet Liu Xin'ai did not feel she had done anything wrong.

She only wanted to be responsible for herself and the child!

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai raised her head, met Qin Yiyan's gaze, and said slowly, "A child is the crystallization of a parents' love, but between us, is there love?"

Liu Xin'ai's retort left Qin Yiyan stunned for a moment.

He stared intently at Liu Xin'ai's eyes, as if searching for something within them.

But the result...

Was only calmness and detachment.

With a look like that, how could it possibly seem like she wanted to improve their marriage!

?

Qin Yiyan suddenly gripped Liu Xin'ai's shoulders tightly and demanded, "You were listening to marriage counseling seminars before, right?"

"How did you know..."

"Answer me!!!"

Qin Yiyan interrupted Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai was silent for a long while, then nodded.

"Why did you go to listen to them?"

"Curiosity."

"After listening, what were your thoughts?"

"Just chicken soup for the soul."

Liu Xin'ai answered truthfully.

And her answer made Qin Yiyan unable to help but sneer out loud.

He was even angrier than just a moment ago!

How ridiculous!

How could he have been so naive as to think this woman was going to change!?

So... the clown was himself!

The one who was being wishful was also himself!!!

Thinking of everything he had done over these past few days, Qin Yiyan wanted to smash everything he saw!!!

Finally, he gripped her chin.

He asked in a low voice, "Have you ever regretted it? Did you never consider not taking that stuff?"

Qin Yiyan's grip was very strong.

It hurt Liu Xin'ai a great deal.

She endured the pain, furrowed her brows, and said, "I have the right to control my own body!"

"Right to control your body?" Qin Yiyan suddenly laughed in a way that made one's blood run cold: "I am your husband; I am the one who has the right to control your body!"

Liu Xin'ai sensitively sensed danger; she pushed Qin Yiyan away with all her might and finally, unable to endure it any longer, said, "Qin Yiyan, what kind of madness is this! One moment you're amiable, the next you're shouting and yelling; can't you just let this home be peaceful for once?"

"The one making this home unable to be peaceful is you, Liu Xin'ai!!!"

As the words fell, Qin Yiyan picked up Liu Xin'ai and walked straight toward the bed!

Then he immediately pinned her onto the bed and forcefully tore her clothes apart!!!

The all-too-familiar scene made Liu Xin'ai's body tremble instantly.

She knew very well what was about to happen.

But she did not want this to happen to her again, so she immediately pushed against Qin Yiyan with all her strength, hoping to stop this madman!

But Qin Yiyan had already lost his reason; how could he let go?

Instead, in the midst of the tearing, the skin all over Liu Xin'ai's body was exposed to the air!

Suddenly, caught completely unprepared, Liu Xin'ai felt an unbearable pain!

That pain caused her features to scrunch together, and she slapped at Qin Yiyan's shoulders: "Stop... stop it!!!"

And as for when it truly stopped...

That was already two hours later.

This time, Qin Yiyan acted with the intent to punish, leaving Liu Xin'ai's body in a wretched state.

Liu Xin'ai lay on her side on the bed, her arm stretched out over the edge.

Her eyes were vacant, as if she had lost her soul.

Everything that had just happened made Liu Xin'ai confirm once again that in the eyes of Qin Yiyan, she was nothing but a plaything!

When he was in a good mood, he would coax her and even put on a show of caring for her.

But once things did not go his way, he wished he could destroy her!

Is this a husband?

This is clearly a devil!

Liu Xin'ai felt so miserable.

She also felt such hatred!

She hated herself for why she lacked the ability to break free from this man!

Her dry eyes blinked lightly, and tears slowly flowed out.
