Chapter 1120: The Siblings Are Both Master Actors

Liu Xin'ai caught onto something and hurriedly asked, "So the one you care about is your brother?"

"That's right! Before you appeared, I was clearly the person my brother doted on the most! But you snatched all of that away!!!"

Perhaps because the secret in the depths of her heart had been pried open at a corner.

Bai Yufei suddenly could not hold it together anymore.

Her emotions spiraled out of control, and the way she looked at Liu Xin'ai was as if she were looking at an enemy!

Liu Xin'ai looked at Bai Yufei like this, first with confusion.

Then, she slowly smoothed out her brow: "In other words, you are targeting me everywhere because of your brother?"

"How can you call it targeting? As a sister-in-law, shouldn't you be taking care of me? If you do a poor job, what is wrong with me pointing it out!?"

"But what you need isn't care, it's the pleasure of tormenting me! But your brother will always have to marry and have children; what is the point of you doing this?"

Even if Qin Yiyan's wife were not Liu Xin'ai, it would be someone else.

Could it be that as long as it is Qin Yiyan's wife, Bai Yufei has to hate her?

Then such a state of mind...

Is a bit pathological.

Liu Xin'ai silently made this assessment in her heart.

And Bai Yufei had already sat up straight: "What I do, I don't need to explain to you. It's you, if you can't take good care of me, just wait to be scolded by my brother!"

Liu Xin'ai was not afraid of being scolded at all.

She only worried that if Bai Yufei kept on pestering her, it would affect her experimental progress.

Helpless, Liu Xin'ai had to negotiate with Bai Yufei: "What do you want in order to coexist peacefully with me?"

"Simple, leave my brother."

Bai Yufei's demand made Liu Xin'ai helplessly laugh.

How could she not want to leave?

But would Qin Yiyan allow it?

He would not; he would only use coercion

And intimidation!

Seeing Liu Xin'ai smile without speaking, Bai Yufei assumed she was mocking her.

Immediately, she revealed a look of disdain and sneered: "When it comes down to it, you still can't bear to let go of my brother, can't bear to let go of this status! But I'm telling you, you aren't worthy!"

"Then who is worthy? You?"

Liu Xin'ai's unintentional retort instead caused a flash of panic in the depths of Bai Yufei's eyes.

But very quickly, Bai Yufei shifted the topic by scolding loudly: "My brother told you to take care of me, why are you still arguing with me!?"

"Arguing? Clearly, only you are the one shouting and yelling."

Liu Xin'ai remained lukewarm, her expression calm.

Bai Yufei was like a madwoman at this moment, losing her temper without any reason.

But her original plan was not like this...

Realizing that she was actually being led by the nose by Liu Xin'ai, Bai Yufei felt resentful inside.

She had to turn the situation around!

She also had to let Liu Xin'ai know who the most important person in Qin Yiyan's heart was!

Bai Yufei began to quiet down.

She also stopped ordering Liu Xin'ai to run around doing this and that.

This quiet lasted until the time Qin Yiyan was about to get off work...

Bai Yufei checked the clock and kept listening for movement outside.

When she heard the sound of a car engine starting...

The good show was about to begin!

Bai Yufei had a smile on her lips, then said to Liu Xin'ai: "Sister-in-law, the lid of this thermos won't open, help me unscrew it."

Liu Xin'ai did not think much of it and took the thermos.

Opening a lid should be a simple matter.

But Liu Xin'ai tried several times and did not succeed.

Seeing this, Bai Yufei said: "There is a safety lock on it, it's not very responsive. I'll press it, you unscrew the lid."

As she spoke, Bai Yufei raised her hand to press a button.

But at this very

instant...

"Ah—"

Scalding water splashed onto Bai Yufei's leg, and the pain made her scream!

Qin Yiyan had just stepped onto the stairs when he heard the commotion.

His heart sank with worry, and he hurried over.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Bai Yufei's face full of pain!

"What is going on here?!"

Liu Xin'ai did not speak; she took Bai Yufei to the bathroom to first rinse the scalded area with cold water.

Bai Yufei was in a lot of pain.

But this did not affect her speaking at all: "Brother, don't blame sister-in-law, sister-in-law didn't spill the water cup on purpose!"

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai's movements paused.

But Bai Yufei let out a sharp cry.

That miserable sound made Qin Yiyan knit his brows tightly, and he shouted at Liu Xin'ai, "Be gentler!"

Liu Xin'ai hadn't used any force at all.

Bai Yufei was clearly just acting!

Besides, it was she herself who had opened the lid just now!!!

Liu Xin'ai wanted to explain.

But at a time like this...

Anything she said would be futile; Qin Yiyan would not believe her!

Liu Xin'ai truly felt exhausted; she closed her eyes for a moment, then remained silent and continued to treat Bai Yufei's burn.

Once Liu Xin'ai cut away the fabric of the trousers, Qin Yiyan saw a patch of reddened skin!

This made Qin Yiyan feel both distressed and furious, and he opened his mouth to interrogate Liu Xin'ai: "Is this how you take care of my sister?"

Xiao'an happened to arrive to deliver burn ointment.

Seeing Qin Yiyan reprimanding Liu Xin'ai, she was about to speak up to defend Liu Xin'ai.

But the moment her lips moved, she heard Bai Yufei say pitifully, "Brother, it's better not to let Sister-in-law take care of me. She is the mistress of this house; having her look after me makes even the servants in the house look indignant."

Servants?

Qin Yiyan looked around the room and happened

to see Xiao'an.

He immediately raised an eyebrow and interrogated her: "Are you dissatisfied?"

Xiao'an had indeed had such thoughts.

But being stared at by Qin Yiyan like that, how could she dare to tell the truth?

She immediately shook her head vigorously.

And her mute appearance made Bai Yufei feel triumphant.

As for Liu Xin'ai, she was already applying burn ointment to Bai Yufei.

Qin Yiyan had intended to scold her a few more times.

But...

Seeing her weary expression, Qin Yiyan's reprimand suddenly changed in tone: "I told you long ago not to push yourself, but you wouldn't listen. Now that your energy is depleted, you've caused such an oversight!"

An oversight?

So Qin Yiyan thought the burn just now was an unintentional act by Liu Xin'ai, rather than jealousy?

If that were truly the case...

Then how was Bai Yufei supposed to continue making accusations?

She was planning to use Liu Xin'ai's jealousy as a pretext to make a scene!

Bai Yufei was a little anxious and wanted to steer the development of events back.

But looking at Qin Yiyan's clearly softened gaze...

Bai Yufei suddenly realized that continuing to find fault and sow discord at this moment would only make her appear unreasonable.

Bai Yufei did not want to leave such an impression in Qin Yiyan's heart, so she called out softly, "Brother..."

"What is it?"

"Don't scold Sister-in-law; she didn't want this to happen either."

Bai Yufei pleaded for Liu Xin'ai in a weak and gentle manner, appearing innocent and magnanimous.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai sneered inwardly.

Truly worthy of being Qin Yiyan's sister; both siblings were master actors!

She had no mood to appreciate their acting, so she brought up the matter at hand: "Fei'er's wound has been treated. Apply the ointment daily, and it will be healed in three days without leaving a scar."

Qin Yiyan was about to ask a few more questions.

But he discovered that Liu Xin'ai was already about to leave.

He hurriedly

called out to stop Liu Xin'ai, his tone dissatisfied: "Where are you in such a rush to go?"

"You siblings must have things to discuss, so I won't disturb you; I'm heading back to my room."
