Chapter 1107: He Is Her Youthful Affection

Although Liu Xin'ai has recovered quite a bit, compared to when she was healthy, she still looks somewhat sickly.

Qin Yiyan has done a good job with confidentiality; he has used illness as an excuse to brush off anyone who has daily contact with Liu Xin'ai.

People like Qin Yiyan's parents, who only occasionally contact Liu Xin'ai, have no idea what has happened to her, let alone that the two young people are arguing.

Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth, a flash of hesitation crossing her eyes.

She could take this opportunity to complain about Qin Yiyan.

Let his parents discipline him properly!

But...

Liu Xin'ai is also very clear that the effect of such discipline would be very limited.

On the contrary, she would suffer Qin Yiyan's torment for a slip of the tongue...

Thinking of Qin Yiyan's methods, Liu Xin'ai's body turned cold.

Striving to restrain the urge to blurt it out, she said casually, "I... have been sick for the past two days, but I'm much better now, please don't worry."

After saying this, Liu Xin'ai's gaze fell upon the young woman.

Immediately, she saw a flash of sharpness in the other's eyes.

This...

Must be her eyes playing tricks on her, right?

While Liu Xin'ai was doubting herself, the young woman suddenly started to smile.

She even enthusiastically stepped forward and took Liu Xin'ai's arm.

"So this is my sister-in-law, you look so beautiful. No wonder my brother was in such a hurry to marry you when he saw you!"

Sister-in-law?

Hearing this address, Liu Xin'ai had already vaguely guessed the young woman's identity in her heart.

Chi Rong also smiled and introduced at this moment: "Xin'ai, this is Fei'er, Bai Yufei, Yiyan's younger sister. Although she is not my biological daughter, she has been more thoughtful than a biological daughter all these years; she is the joy of the family."

Bai Yufei pouted her red lips and said somewhat unhappily: "But now that I have a sister-in-law, my status is no longer guaranteed. You must like the new sister-in-law more than me!"

"Don't you worry, no one can replace your status in this family!"

The sound of talking coming from the doorway made Bai Yufei's eyes light up.

She turned her head and saw Qin Yiyan walking toward her against the light.

That tall figure, handsome appearance, and unique temperament all made Bai Yufei's heart thump wildly.

Like a little bird, she ran happily to Qin Yiyan's side.

And taking his arm, she asked coquettishly: "Brother, did you come back specifically for me!?"

Facing his younger sister, Qin Yiyan's expression softened a lot, and he immediately said with doting tones: "Yes, I rushed back as soon as I received Mom's call."

"I knew Brother is the best to me!"

Saying this, Bai Yufei even jumped up and gave Qin Yiyan a big hug.

Come to think of it, ever since Bai Yufei went abroad to study, the opportunities for Qin Yiyan to see her had become much fewer.

But every time they met, they were still very warm with each other.

Especially Bai Yufei, who has always been a little girl who loves to act spoiled.

For this cute younger sister, Qin Yiyan is willing to give her a bit more doting.

Only...

Qin Yiyan looked Bai Yufei up and down.

He felt that she had suddenly become a grown woman upon returning this time.

This discovery made Qin Yiyan have to consider certain things.

Bai Yufei, however, enjoyed Qin Yiyan's gaze lingering on her.

Afterwards, she looked at Liu Xin'ai openly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't mind it; my brother and I have had a good relationship since we were little, we're used to playing and bickering."

Liu Xin'ai does not care at all about who Qin Yiyan has a good relationship with, or who he plays and bickers with.

Facing Bai Yufei's deliberate explanation, she was also completely indifferent and said faintly: "I won't mind, you don't overthink it either."

Liu Xin'ai had already expressed her thoughts.

But Bai Yufei did not relax; instead, she frowned, looking worried:

"Why does it feel like sister-in-law isn't as enthusiastic toward me as before? Sister-in-law, you wouldn't still mind in your heart, but just don't want to say it, would you?"

Liu Xin'ai's lips moved, about to speak.

But Qin Yiyan spoke first: "Your sister-in-law is the most generous; if she says no, then it really is no."

On the surface, Qin Yiyan was speaking up for Liu Xin'ai.

But in reality...

He was sarcastically implying that Liu Xin'ai doesn't care about her husband at all.

Liu Xin'ai couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the hidden meaning in Qin Yiyan's words.

She had been standing for a while, her ankles were aching, and her posture was a bit unsteady, but she didn't say a single word.

Qin Yiyan, however, keenly noticed how she felt.

This woman is always so stubborn.

It's as if taking the initiative to soften up or show weakness would cost her her life!

Qin Yiyan complained about Liu Xin'ai internally.

But turning his head, he ordered Xiao'an: "The Madam has not fully recovered yet, help her back to rest."

"Yes."

Finally able to go back and rest, Liu Xin'ai quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at Chi Rong and Bai Yufei: "Mom, Fei'er, you two chat slowly."

"Alright, go back and rest quickly."

Chi Rong watched Liu Xin'ai return to her room, her eyes filled with a bit of heartache.

This child had become so thin; she had to find time to help Liu Xin'ai properly nourish her body...

Also looking at Liu Xin'ai was Qin Yiyan.

His gaze was very deep, and he didn't even blink.

This made Bai Yufei feel very uncomfortable.

She immediately shook Qin Yiyan's arm, using a coquettish tone to express her dissatisfaction: "Brother, you really dote on Sister-in-law. Ever since you came back, your eyes haven't moved away from her!"

Chi Rong heard the emotion in her voice and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Your brother and sister-in-law haven't been married long, isn't it normal for their relationship to be sweet? However..."

Looking at Bai Yufei's intimate actions toward Qin Yiyan, Chi Rong hesitated for two seconds before reminding her: "Fei'er, since you are a grown young woman now, and your brother and sister-in-law are married, it's better to be more mindful in the future. Clinging to your brother like this, aren't you afraid others will see it and make a joke of it?"

Chi Rong was only teasing her kindly and didn't think much of it.

But in the depths of Bai Yufei's lowered eyes, a flash of impatience flickered.

When she raised her head, she had returned to her well-behaved appearance.

She even argued plausibly: "My brother and I have always gotten along this way, how can we change our habits of many years just because there's a new sister-in-law in the house?"

After speaking, Bai Yufei shook Qin Yiyan's arm and asked: "Brother, what do you say?"

Bai Yufei felt that Qin Yiyan would definitely be on her side.

In the past, whenever Bai Yufei acted coquettishly toward Qin Yiyan, he would unconditionally choose to support her.

But the result...

"I think Mom's words make sense. You are a grown young woman now, you should learn to be more steady."

Qin Yiyan actually agreed with Chi Rong's words!

However, he was also doing it for Bai Yufei's own good.

This girl would sooner or later have to find a boyfriend and get married.

If she continued to be so intimate with him, a brother with no blood relation, there was no guarantee the other party wouldn't overthink it.

But Qin Yiyan's painstaking efforts did not earn Bai Yufei's approval.

Instead, she stared at Qin Yiyan with a wounded expression and said.

"My brother and I are open and aboveboard, what is there to change! I think you are all just ignoring me to please the new sister-in-law!"
