Chapter 1121: Just Want to Stay with Brother a Little Longer

~7 min read 1,393 words

Bai Yufei wished she would leave quickly, so as not to be an eyesore in front of her.

Therefore, she did not make things difficult for Liu Xin'ai, and even spoke up for Liu Xin'ai: "Sister-in-law is also tired from taking care of me, go back and rest for a while, my brother is here."

Mentioning the man beside her, Bai Yufei's face revealed a hint of smugness.

The look she cast toward Liu Xin'ai also carried a provocation.

But Liu Xin'ai was unmoved by her showing off.

She even found it childish.

However, being able to rest was always good; she just wanted to nap for a while now.

But...

"Who told you to leave?"

Qin Yiyan's words made Liu Xin'ai, who was just about to leave, freeze in place.

They also made Bai Yufei's smile stiffen on her face.

The next instant, Bai Yufei shook Qin Yiyan's arm, tilted her head, and asked: "Why not let sister-in-law rest?"

"She can rest, but there is one thing I must make clear!"

Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai and continued: "Be more careful when taking care of people; I don't want to see a situation like today's a second time!"

Qin Yiyan's attitude was very severe.

The tone of accusation was obvious.

But Liu Xin'ai remained unmoved.

She raised her eyes to meet Qin Yiyan's gaze and replied: "I have been careful enough, and I have a clear conscience."

After speaking, Liu Xin'ai stepped away.

Her attitude provoked Qin Yiyan to step forward to chase after her and argue.

But his body had only just moved when he felt his arm being gripped tightly.

At the same time, a weak voice rang in his ear: "Brother, can you stay with me for a while? And tell me about the company's affairs while you're at it."

Bai Yufei acted both strong and fragile.

The request she made also made Qin Yiyan unable to bring himself to refuse.

As for Liu Xin'ai...

When he returned to the room, he would settle the score with her!

Qin Yiyan put away his coldness and spoke kindly to Bai

Yufei about the situation at the company over the past two days.

Bai Yufei listened attentively on the surface, but in reality...

Her soul had long since flown away, and she stared at Qin Yiyan without blinking!

And the more she looked, the more fascinated she became!

By the time Qin Yiyan noticed Bai Yufei's gaze was too intense, Bai Yufei had already leaned against Qin Yiyan's shoulder.

She even murmured strangely: "Brother... I feel a bit uncomfortable. Does the ointment I applied have any side effects? Why do I feel so dizzy?"

"It should be caused by the allergy medicine you took; lie down and rest first."

Qin Yiyan wanted to help Bai Yufei lie down.

But Bai Yufei refused: "I'll be fine after leaning for a while, Brother, you continue talking."

"Are you sure you want to keep listening? Don't force yourself if you're uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yufei pursed her lips and smiled, her face instantly full of happiness.

"How could this be forcing myself?"

The scene at this moment was something she had dreamed of!

She wished she could lean for a while longer!

As for what Qin Yiyan was saying? It didn't matter at all!

Bai Yufei appeared happy and intoxicated.

But Liu Xin'ai, who had walked out of the room, felt increasingly unwell.

When she reached the corner, everything went black before her eyes!

Fortunately, Xiao'an was right beside her. Seeing that something was wrong, she hurriedly supported Liu Xin'ai's arm and asked with concern: "Madam, are you alright?"

Liu Xin'ai breathed hard, calmed down for a moment, and then replied in a weak tone: "I'm fine."

"But you don't look like you're fine at all! I'll help you back, you need to rest quickly!"

Liu Xin'ai nodded and did not refuse.

Xiao'an supported Liu Xin'ai and walked slowly along the corridor.

But after only two steps, Xiao'an noticed that the arm in her palm... seemed thinner than it had been two days ago.

And the reason Liu Xin'ai had become

so thin and haggard...

was all because of Bai Yufei!!!

Thinking of the way Bai Yufei bullied people, Xiao'an couldn't help but complain: "Miss Bai is really too much. Why does she always make things difficult for you, and even twist the truth!"

"Keep your voice down. If someone with ill intentions hears you, it will cause trouble again."

Hearing this, Xiao'an hurriedly looked to both sides.

Seeing that there was no one nearby, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the resentment in her heart did not diminish because of this; she lowered her voice and continued: "That woman is a two-faced person. She acts bossy in front of us, but pretends to be so well-behaved in front of Sir! This speed of changing faces is comparable to Sichuan opera face-changing!"

Xiao'an's rant made Liu Xin'ai laugh.

The more she interacted with Xiao'an, the more Liu Xin'ai found the girl quite interesting; occasionally, a remark from her could even make her happy.

But regarding Bai Yufei...

Liu Xin'ai put away her smile and sighed, "Fei'er is just a spoiled child who wants everyone to revolve around her, especially... Qin Yiyan."

In fact, Liu Xin'ai could vaguely sense that Bai Yufei's near-paranoid demand for affection was not quite normal.

But...

What did that have to do with her?

She only wanted to rest well now.

She only wanted to finish the experiment early.

To let her father's illness get better sooner.

And then divorce Qin Yiyan.

However...

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes and noticed that Xiao'an beside her was still pouting, so she advised, "Alright, don't take such things to heart; everything will pass."

"That doesn't mean nothing happened! And... what right does she have to bully you!"

Xiao'an was truly angry; her face was turning red with rage.

Seeing her pouting appearance, Liu Xin'ai patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Getting angry

won't solve the problem either. Let's be optimistic; as long as we hold on for these few days, things will take a turn for the better."

Really?

As long as a few days pass, will everything get better?

Xiao'an thought for a moment, but in her heart, she always vaguely felt...

As long as Bai Yufei was still here, their lives would remain in chaos!

And...

Such a good Madam, how could she let people bully her so easily?

The Master should also see Bai Yufei's true colors!

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly sprouted in Xiao'an's heart.

Then it became increasingly intense; she was even impatient to do something!

Xiao'an was excited and looked up, wanting to speak to Liu Xin'ai.

But then she noticed her frowning, looking as if she were in great discomfort.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Liu Xin'ai didn't speak, only let out an "mm."

"Oh, you really can't keep pushing yourself like this; your body will collapse!"

Xiao'an was extremely anxious and intended to send Liu Xin'ai back to the bedroom before going to find the Doctor!

But after returning to the bedroom, Liu Xin'ai stopped Xiao'an.

She leaned against the sofa, her lips somewhat pale, and said weakly, "Don't worry, I'm only like this temporarily. Once I've rested enough, these symptoms will disappear. I am a Doctor, trust me."

"But..."

"Alright, I want to nap for a while."

Saying this, Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes.

Xiao'an felt heartache for Liu Xin'ai and couldn't bear to disturb her further.

However, she did not leave, thinking that if Liu Xin'ai was still in that state when she woke up, she would go find the Doctor no matter what!

As it turned out...

Xiao'an didn't wait for Liu Xin'ai to wake up, but instead waited for Qin Yiyan to return to the room.

Seeing Qin Yiyan, Xiao'an really wanted to take the opportunity to complain.

But considering her own

status, Xiao'an held back.

Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai on the sofa, then furrowed his brows and asked Xiao'an, "What's wrong with her?"

"Madam is tired and is taking a short nap."

"If she wants to sleep, she should sleep in bed; why sleep on the sofa?"

Xiao'an said, "Because Madam has to go to the Laboratory in a while."
