Chapter 1122: Seeing Her True Colors

Whenever the matter of going to the Laboratory was mentioned, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart!

The schedule Liu Xin'ai had set for herself was clearly risking her life!

Did she think her body was made of iron, that it wouldn't break no matter how she used it?

One look at her expression was enough to know that she was already exhausted!

If she kept acting recklessly, her body would start flashing red lights!

And besides...

Was her head filled with nothing but straw?

Why hadn't she ever thought of pleading or saying a few soft words?

Perhaps if he were in a good mood... he might change his mind for her!

But she did nothing, just stubbornly enduring it herself.

Truly...

Stubborn!!!

Qin Yiyan grumbled about Liu Xin'ai in his heart.

Yet what he didn't know was that as he looked at Liu Xin'ai's pale complexion, a hint of softness couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

Thinking that Xiao'an was still here, Qin Yiyan ordered in a deep voice, "You go out first."

"Yes, then... please don't forget to wake Madam at seven o'clock."

Qin Yiyan very much wanted to stubbornly refuse.

But thinking of the consequences...

Qin Yiyan changed his mind and added, "I'm off tomorrow and can take care of Fei'er; when Madam returns from the Laboratory, she won't need to go to Fei'er's place."

As he spoke, his face still wore an expression of disdain.

Xiao'an, however, felt relieved.

Since that was the case, couldn't Madam come back and catch up on her sleep in peace?

This was truly good news!

Xiao'an couldn't help but reveal a smile, replied "Yes," and then silently left the bedroom.

As for Qin Yiyan, he gently covered Liu Xin'ai with a blanket and walked over to the side to read.

The air suddenly became very quiet.

Qin Yiyan's inner state also became very peaceful.

Time passed even more quickly.

However, a ringtone suddenly broke the calm.

Although Qin Yiyan

had hung up the phone very quickly, Liu Xin'ai was still startled awake.

She first looked at the clock, then said with annoyance, "It's already eight o'clock!? Xiao'an, why didn't you wake me up!"

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai stood up and reached for her things.

But because she stood up too hurriedly, everything went black before her eyes!

Her body lurched forward!!!

But Liu Xin'ai did not fall to the floor.

Because...

Someone had reached out to catch her waist and pulled her into his embrace!

Liu Xin'ai only felt the scene before her eyes spinning.

Finally, before her eyes was a familiar and annoying face!

Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai in his arms and smiled somewhat arrogantly: "Are you deliberately playing weak, trying to take this opportunity to throw yourself into my arms?"

Throw herself into his arms?

As if!

Liu Xin'ai quickly calmed down and broke free from Qin Yiyan's embrace.

Qin Yiyan knew that Liu Xin'ai was definitely denying it in her heart, but he still deliberately misinterpreted it: "I don't like that sort of thing, so don't play these mind games next time."

Liu Xin'ai's brain had still been a bit groggy.

But being angered by such brainless remarks from Qin Yiyan, she became completely alert.

It was just that time was tight now, and she didn't want to argue with Qin Yiyan, so she asked, "Aren't you staying with Fei'er?"

"She has already rested."

Yes, at this hour, Bai Yufei should indeed be resting.

But she still hadn't left yet!!!

Liu Xin'ai grew even more anxious, grabbed her things, and was about to leave.

Qin Yiyan reached out and grabbed her wrist, hesitated for a moment, and reminded her, "Actually... you don't have to work so hard..."

"Don't try to persuade me, I won't let anyone else replace me. The data in the Laboratory, as long as it has passed through my own hands, must be checked by me personally!"

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai had misunderstood, Qin Yiyan prompted again, "No, you could open up your thinking and make some other hypotheses."

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai had misunderstood, Qin Yiyan gave another hint: "No, you can open up your thinking and make some other assumptions."

Everything is fine, why make hypotheses?

What exactly did this person want to say?

Liu Xin'ai couldn't understand, and furthermore, she didn't want to understand.

Liu Xin'ai could not understand, and furthermore, she did not want to understand.

Shaking off the hand of Qin Yiyan, Liu Xin'ai replied perfunctorily, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm in a hurry, so let's skip the assumptions."

Having said that, she walked out of the bedroom without looking back.

As for Qin Yiyan...

He stood speechless on the spot, feeling that this woman...

Deserved to suffer!!!

Bai Yufei slept very well last night.

She even dreamed of Qin Yiyan in her sleep!

Because she had a sweet dream, when Bai Yufei woke up, there was still a smile on the corners of her mouth.

Just as Bai Yufei was savoring that sweet dream, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The person who pushed the door open was Xiao'an; she lowered her head slightly and asked, "Miss, would you like to go downstairs for breakfast now?"

"Hmm, where is my brother? Has he eaten?"

"Sir has already eaten, and then he went to the company."

When saying the second half of the sentence, Xiao'an unconsciously clenched her palms.

However, Bai Yufei did not notice this small action, only grumbling unhappily, "He has to be busy even on his day off; can't he spend more time with me!"

After saying this, Bai Yufei realized that it was already this late, yet she hadn't seen the figure of Liu Xin'ai.

This woman, didn't she agree to come and take care of her in the morning? Could it be that she is slacking off today?

Bai Yufei raised her eyebrows, immediately seizing on Liu Xin'ai's mistake, and opened her mouth to say in a commanding tone, "Where is Liu Xin'ai? Make her come down and serve me! Does she want to slack off just because my brother isn't here?"

Xiao'an did not relay the message,

but instead lowered her head and whispered in a conciliatory tone, "Madam just returned from the Laboratory and has a bit of a headache; let her come and take care of you later."

Bai Yufei gave a cold snort: "She has a headache, is that my fault? Tell her to get down here quickly!"

That remark made Xiao'an frown, and she advised, "Miss, Madam is your sister-in-law after all, you should still..."

Before Xiao'an could finish, Bai Yufei raised her hand and slapped her across the face!

The force was so great that a palm print immediately appeared on Xiao'an's fair cheek!

Xiao'an was both ashamed and embarrassed, her eyes turning red.

Bai Yufei, however, kept a cold face and reprimanded, "Don't you know why I hit you last time? You still dare to talk back! If your memory is bad, then I'll hit you a few more times!"

Before Bai Yufei could move again, Xiao'an suddenly knelt in front of her, crying, "I'm sorry, I won't dare to talk too much in the future, please don't hit me anymore!"

Bai Yufei gave a cold snort, feeling that her attitude of admitting her mistake was acceptable, so she gave up the idea of slapping her again, and instead said with a smile, "You really are a spineless thing, you don't know how to behave unless you're hit!"

"Then... can I take care of you from now on? I see that the red spots on your body have all faded..."

Xiao'an's words made Bai Yufei feel displeased again.

But this time she didn't use her hands, instead kicking Xiao'an directly!

Xiao'an was caught off guard, her body falling heavily backward!

Yet Bai Yufei still didn't feel that her anger was vented, and was about to continue insulting this woman.

As a result, a figure at the bedroom door made Bai Yufei's face turn pale instantly!

"Brother... why, why are you home?"

"..."

Qin Yiyan simply could not believe his eyes!

Was the arrogant and domineering person at this moment really his cute

and sweet-talking sister?

Then, connecting this to the attitude Bai Yufei had just shown toward Liu Xin'ai...

"When I am not at home, is this the attitude you use toward your sister-in-law and the servants?"
