Chapter 1115: A Small Scheme Failed

"Let me see then, what kind of state the poor little thing has been injured into." Qin Yiyan said as he walked into the room, a faint smile still on his face.

That smile made Bai Yufei dizzy with infatuation!

Her heart was also pounding wildly.

But the moment she remembered she was currently in an injured state, Bai Yufei hurriedly reined in her excitement and sighed, "I bumped my knee against the table, it hurts so much!"

"Then let me take a look."

Qin Yiyan grasped Bai Yufei's ankle, gently moved her leg, and asked, "Does your knee still hurt?"

"It seems... a little."

"It seems?"

Bai Yufei nodded blankly and said, "It's just that I can't say it hurts, but I can't say it doesn't hurt either."

This assessment made Qin Yiyan shake his head with a smile: "Then that means you're fine, don't worry."

"Really? It won't be so serious tomorrow that I can't walk, will it?"

"Impossible. Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be jumping around tomorrow without any trouble."

With this assurance, Bai Yufei relaxed.

But immediately after, her nose twitched, and she frowned, muttering, "What is this smell?"

A smell?

Qin Yiyan also sniffed, then opened his palm and asked, "Is this the smell of the medicine you're talking about?"

Bai Yufei leaned in, then resisted the urge to cover her nose and nodded, saying, "It's this smell! But Brother, why is there medicine on your hands? Could it be that you're injured?"

This assumption made a look of nervousness appear on Bai Yufei's face.

Qin Yiyan reassured her, "It's not me, it's your sister-in-law whose ankle hurts, so I was helping her spray some medicine."

Helping... that woman spray medicine?

Bai Yufei was dazed for a moment.

Then, her chest was filled with the fire of jealousy!

Bai Yufei did not want to reveal her emotions; she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Then I want to spray medicine too!"

"

"Silly girl, you don't have any injuries here, you don't need to spray medicine."

"But you helped Sister-in-law spray medicine, why can't you help me? Brother, you are playing favorites!"

Bai Yufei looked up, looking incredibly aggrieved, her eyes even turning red.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yiyan felt both helpless and amused.

He didn't understand why his independent and strong-willed sister would be so petty about just applying medicine.

But seeing that Bai Yufei was about to cry, Qin Yiyan had to patiently comfort her: "This medicine smells very bad, and it has strong staying power. If it gets into the room, it won't dissipate for a long time, and no perfume can cover it up."

This...

Bai Yufei hesitated.

Slowly, she stopped insisting on spraying the medicine.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan knew his comfort had worked.

Then, he looked at the opened jewelry box and asked, "Do you like the gift I gave you?"

"I like it!"

"As long as you like it."

Although Bai Yufei couldn't get Qin Yiyan to help her apply medicine, but...

She raised her eyebrows and said with a look of anticipation, "Brother, will you help me put on the necklace?"

Being able to have the person she likes put a necklace on her with his own hands was also very blissful!

Bai Yufei had a smile on her lips, looking forward to that moment immensely.

Yet she didn't expect Qin Yiyan to refuse directly: "Forgot? My hands are still stained with medicine. If you want to show off, just put it on yourself."

"But..."

"Alright, I see you've had a hard day too, get some rest early."

Qin Yiyan stood up and walked to the door.

Then he remembered something else, turned back, and instructed Bai Yufei: "Oh, right, if you feel tired at the company, you must tell me, don't force yourself."

"Mm, don't worry."

Bai Yufei raised a smiling face and watched Qin Yiyan leave.

But as soon as the door closed,

her expression changed immediately.

Returning this time, she had intended to use her close relationship with Qin Yiyan to give the new sister-in-law a warning.

But reality?

She was the one being pushed aside!!!

No, she couldn't sit and wait for death; she had to find another way to deal with Liu Xin'ai!!!

Bai Yufei's expression was unfathomable.

And Qin Yiyan, who had walked back into the bedroom—

He was almost smoked out the moment he entered!

The thick smell of medicine in the room made him cough as he asked, "Liu Xin'ai, what kind of mischief are you up to again!?"

Liu Xin'ai turned around with a calm expression and said, "The smell of the medicine is too strong, what can I do about it?"

"But it wasn't this strong just a moment ago!"

"That is what you think; in reality, it is the same."

How could that be? It wasn't as if she lacked the ability to judge for herself!

Qin Yiyan waved his hand, walked to the window, and opened it.

The moment the window opened, fresh air immediately surged in.

Qin Yiyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

But only the air by the window was any better; the rest of the room remained filled with the scent he disliked.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly offered an idea: "If you really can't stand it, you could go sleep in another room."

Upon hearing Liu Xin'ai's words, a flicker of suspicion crossed Qin Yiyan's mind.

Behind him, Liu Xin'ai's tone remained calm: "I have to spray medicine recently, and twice a day at that. During this period, I'm afraid you will have to..."

"I'm not going anywhere; I'm sleeping right here," Qin Yiyan interrupted Liu Xin'ai, stating it directly.

This decision puzzled Liu Xin'ai, and she hurriedly asked: "But didn't you say you couldn't stand this smell?"

"Actually, it's not so bad once you get used to it. I'm going to take a shower now."

Qin Yiyan went to the bathroom as if nothing were the matter.

And

Liu Xin'ai, having failed to get her wish, immediately furrowed her brows.

This guy, why did he change his mind?

He clearly hated it so much, why not go sleep in another room?

What a waste of the medicine she had sprayed into the air!

Liu Xin'ai sat down powerlessly, feeling depressed.

As for Qin Yiyan—

He cast a cold glance outside the door.

Heh...

Did she really think such a small trick could fool him?

Naive!"

The next day—

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but even though he had showered that morning, a faint medicinal scent still lingered at the tip of his nose.

That smell made him feel a bit irritable.

While meeting with a CEO, his brows furrowed from time to time.

The CEO had a good personal relationship with Qin Yiyan, and seeing this, he smiled faintly and asked: "Is Mr. Qin in a bad mood today?"

"Not at all, it's just..."

Before Qin Yiyan could think of how to respond, the sound of a yawn reached his ears.

Hearing the sound, both Qin Yiyan and the CEO looked over.

This left Bai Yufei, who was mid-yawn, feeling extremely embarrassed.

She quickly sat up straight and apologized: "Excuse me."

The CEO waved his hand and laughed: "It's fine. Is Miss Bai tired?"

It wasn't that she was tired.

It was just that Bai Yufei had spent all last night thinking of ways to deal with Liu Xin'ai.

She had thought of a plan, but dawn was almost breaking.

Bai Yufei was exhausted, and at this moment, she was forcing herself to stay alert while sitting there.

Qin Yiyan noticed that Bai Yufei even had dark circles under her eyes, so he asked: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Ah... I slept fine, it's just that I was looking at the company's documents so late last night that I didn't realize it was almost dawn."

Bai Yufei casually made up an excuse, and this excuse made the CEO laugh: "Mr. Qin's sister is truly diligent and hardworking. I believe

in the near future, another capable talent will emerge in Fang Company."

These words were merely flattery.

Qin Yiyan would not take them to heart.

But considering Bai Yufei's future...

Qin Yiyan revealed a gentle smile and said: "She is my sister; I don't have many requirements for her. As long as she is happy, that is enough."

As he spoke, Qin Yiyan looked toward Bai Yufei.
