Chapter 1118: Let's See How Long You Can Hold Out

It was already late at night when Qin Yiyan and Bai Yufei returned from the Hospital.

And after returning, Qin Yiyan sent Bai Yufei straight back to her room.

Liu Xin'ai had not slept, as she was worried.

Hearing the commotion, she wanted to go and see what the situation was.

But the moment she pushed the door open, she ran into Qin Yiyan!

Qin Yiyan was expressionless, and he asked in a slightly cold voice, "Where are you going?"

His face looked like a storm was brewing.

But Liu Xin'ai had a clear conscience and was not afraid of his dark expression; she stood up straight and replied, "I'm going to see how Fei'er is doing."

"Fei'er is already resting; don't disturb her. I have something to say to you."

Liu Xin'ai roughly knew what Qin Yiyan wanted to say, so she spoke first: "I really didn't know Fei'er was allergic to peanuts. If she has any other taboos, please state them all at once."

Such an indifferent attitude made Qin Yiyan frown.

But it was already very late, and Qin Yiyan did not want to argue with her, so he said in a commanding tone, "Before Fei'er has fully recovered, don't go anywhere; just stay at home and take care of her."

Taking care of Bai Yufei was not a problem.

But...

Liu Xin'ai frowned: "I still have to go to the Laboratory. I can take care of Fei'er during the rest of the time..."

Before she could finish her sentence—

"Can't you hear what I'm saying? I want you to go nowhere!"

Qin Yiyan's overbearing manner made Liu Xin'ai lose her temper instantly.

She tilted her head back, not backing down at all: "Then what about my experiment? Should I pause it? The experimental results are directly related to whether we can develop the Special Effect Medicine. If I pause, it will delay the time to save lives! Besides, Fei'er's condition isn't serious; after taking the medicine, she will..."

"But the doctor said she is very serious!" Qin Yiyan interrupted Liu Xin'ai, his tone resolute.

But Liu Xin'ai only felt that Qin Yiyan

was lying!

And the reason he made up was ridiculous!

She curled her lips coldly and retorted: "I am also a doctor, and I think I am qualified to judge her condition!"

"But have you seen her medical report?"

Although Liu Xin'ai had not seen the report, she had checked the ingredients of the oatmeal.

It was true that there were crushed peanuts inside, but the content was not high.

Moreover, there was a period of time between when Bai Yufei finished eating and when she had the reaction, which showed that the allergic reaction could not be that serious.

But Qin Yiyan did not want to hear these analyses at all; he only said: "Fei'er is uncomfortable and needs a professional to take care of her by her side. Besides, it's only for a few days; it won't be too late for you to return to the Laboratory then."

"A few days? I don't want to waste even one day! And the research is at a critical stage now; I cannot give up halfway!"

"Then have someone take your place," Qin Yiyan said directly.

This guy...

He didn't know anything at all, yet he still wanted to boss people around!

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, already too angry to speak.

"If you don't object, then..."

"I object!" Liu Xin'ai opened her eyes, her tone allowing no room for denial: "I must go to the Laboratory. As for your sister, if she really needs someone to take care of her, there are plenty of servants at home, and I can also recommend a professional caregiver!"

Liu Xin'ai's non-negotiable attitude also made Qin Yiyan flare up.

And he did not accept Liu Xin'ai's proposal.

He narrowed his eyes, stepped closer to Liu Xin'ai, gripped her shoulders, and questioned: "Because of your negligence, Fei'er is in the hospital. Don't you feel even a little bit of guilt? If you don't, then follow my arrangements and apologize to Fei'er with your actions!"

"My negligence? I'll say it again, I

didn't know at all that she was allergic to peanuts!"

"Is it that you didn't know, or that you didn't take it to heart at all?"

Qin Yiyan's counter-question made Liu Xin'ai feel misunderstood, and her brows knitted together.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai stop talking, Qin Yiyan felt that this woman was feeling guilty.

This made him even more disappointed: "You never treated Fei'er as family, so you didn't pay any attention to her condition! But do you remember how I treated your father and your brother? Is this how you are reciprocating now?!"

Because it was too late, Qin Yiyan suppressed his anger and did not shout.

But even so, Liu Xin'ai could still see anger and disappointment in his eyes.

Liu Xin'ai still felt that she was not wrong.

But...

It was also a fact that he had taken great care of her sick father.

After a long while, Liu Xin'ai decided to make a concession.

She took a deep breath and then said: "How about this: every day after she falls asleep, I will go to the Laboratory."

This decision did not satisfy Qin Yiyan; instead, his mood became even more irritable than before, and he subconsciously asked: "And what about you? You won't sleep?"

"I will arrange it myself; you don't need to worry."

Liu Xin'ai did not want to say anything more; she needed to seize the time to sleep now.

Looking at her haughty figure, Qin Yiyan was first angry, and then he felt a little...

No!

He didn't feel sorry for her; he just thought this woman was overestimating her own capabilities!

Since she chose this path herself...

"Fine, I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"

Liu Xin'ai had already lain down.

After hearing Qin Yiyan's words, she did not respond, only closing her eyes in exhaustion.

……

From that day on, Liu Xin'ai had to leave the house at four o'clock every morning,

and return at seven o'clock to take care of Bai Yufei.

In the evening, she would leave again at seven o'clock, and leave the Laboratory at twelve.

Calculating it all...

Her daily sleep time was no more than three hours!

She really was throwing her life away!

In truth, Liu Xin'ai herself was also very tired.

But she thought, as long as she could endure these few days, it would be fine.

Once Bai Yufei could go to work, she would also be able to regain her freedom.

But...

Bai Yufei had no intention of letting Liu Xin'ai go at all!

She was also picking faults with every aspect of the care Liu Xin'ai provided.

At this moment, she was looking at the third glass of milk Liu Xin'ai had brought over with a look of disgust: "This milk is cold, how am I supposed to drink this!"

Cold?

For the first glass of milk, Bai Yufei complained it was cold; after Liu Xin'ai replaced it with warm milk, she felt it was too hot; now that it was neither cold nor hot, she could still find something wrong with it?

No, this wasn't finding fault, it was...

picking a fight!!!

Her attitude caused Liu Xin'ai to completely lose her patience.

She simply placed the milk on the table and said indifferently: "Tell me a precise temperature, and I will use a thermometer to measure it for you."

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's serious expression, Bai Yufei pouted and said: "Sister-in-law, are you losing patience? Actually, this is just how I am when I eat; I'm not trying to torment you on purpose."

Whether it was torment or not, Liu Xin'ai knew in her heart!

She was too lazy to argue with Bai Yufei and only asked: "Are you going to drink the milk or not?"

"Sigh, after all this back and forth, I've lost my appetite. I won't drink it."

Bai Yufei even acted aggrieved, as if Liu Xin'ai had mistreated her.

The current Liu Xin'ai really had no energy to argue with her.

Seeing that Bai Yufei had no other requests for the moment, she wanted to find a place to sit for a while.

But how could Bai Yufei let her rest in peace?

Her red lips moved slightly, and she put forward a new request: "Sister-in-law, I

want to eat cookies, will you make them for me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai felt her temples throbbing with pain.

Is there no end to this!
