Chapter 1124: Family Members Should Be Tolerant of Each Other

From this, it was clear that even complaining to Qin Yiyan was meaningless; in any case, it could never outweigh Bai Yufei's justifications.

So her choice was the right one.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai continued, "I don't want to hear explanations; I only care whether Fei'er will continue to hurt Xiao'an in the future."

"She definitely won't!"

"I hope so."

Qin Yiyan endured and endured, but in the end, he still voiced his accusation: "Liu Xin'ai, must you always be so stiff when you speak?"

Facing such an accusation, Liu Xin'ai only felt it was strange: "I have always spoken this way; it's not as if we've only known each other for a day."

"That just means you've always been wrong. Come to think of it, you aren't many years older than Fei'er, yet you are always so old-fashioned. Can't you be a bit more lively like Fei'er, or act a little spoiled?"

Qin Yiyan said the last few words without any conscious thought.

He regretted it the moment he said it.

He felt he had made such a ridiculous request!

And this request of his also made Liu Xin'ai freeze for a moment.

Afterward, her expression showed some disdain.

This guy... actually wanted her to act spoiled?

It was truly asking the impossible.

But come to think of it, she seemed to have been... inept at this since she was a child.

Her younger sister, on the other hand, was very good at using this tactic to get some benefits from their parents.

Recalling the past, Liu Xin'ai's expression softened slightly.

But very quickly...

She noticed the man beside her had been watching her the whole time.

Such scrutiny made Liu Xin'ai feel uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to turn her head and ask, "What is it?"

The moment Liu Xin'ai turned her head, Qin Yiyan withdrew his gaze and said as if nothing were the matter, "You haven't smiled in so long, I thought you had lost the function of those facial muscles."

"I naturally smile in my daily life,

it's just that I don't smile in front of you."

A plain sentence, yet it instantly provoked even greater dissatisfaction in Qin Yiyan.

"What is that supposed to mean? Do you think I make you unhappy?"

"Then may I ask, has there been anything happy lately?"

Qin Yiyan's lips moved, but he realized...

Lately, he and Liu Xin'ai had either been in a cold war, arguing, or hurting each other.

And this kind of married life was far from his plans.

But as for the reason—

"It's because you are too stubborn, don't know how to be flexible, and are always making me angry!"

Qin Yiyan pushed all the responsibility onto Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai, however, felt she was not in the wrong; it was clearly...

The rebuttal reached her lips, but she couldn't help but swallow it back down.

She could already guess that if her words came out, the two of them would surely argue for a long time again.

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit weary.

Moreover, compared to arguing, she would rather eat some hot food to warm her stomach.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai blew on it gently and began to drink the walnut soup.

Liu Xin'ai drank with great focus, spoonful by spoonful, neither fast nor slow.

It made one feel... as if this bowl of walnut soup was very delicious.

Influenced by her, Qin Yiyan also began to taste it.

He was surprised to find that this dark, mushy thing actually... tasted alright.

For a time, neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was rarely peaceful.

And this harmonious scene was seen by Bai Yufei upstairs!

Her fingers gripped the railing tightly, and the fire of jealousy was about to erupt from her eyes!

Brother... was actually not keeping her company, but instead keeping that bitch company?

Was that bitch more important than her?!

Had Brother forgotten that she was the one who was sick and needed someone to care for her?!

It was truly...

Bai

Yufei's breathing became rapid, and finally, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed directly onto the floor!

Hearing the commotion, Qin Yiyan looked up—

"Fei'er!!!"

Qin Yiyan stood up and ran toward the stairs.

After running a few steps away, he didn't forget to order Liu Xin'ai: "Stop eating, you come over and take a look too!"

Look?

What could there be to see? It was just a little girl's trick to attract attention.

Liu Xin'ai sighed silently in her heart.

But she could only put down her spoon and follow Qin Yiyan upstairs.

After being carried back to the room, Bai Yufei slowly woke up and asked weakly, "What happened to me?"

"You fainted outside just now."

"Fainted? I'm sorry, Brother, I've made you worry again..."

Bai Yufei looked guilty and fragile.

But Liu Xin'ai could no longer feel any sympathy for her.

She took a brief look, confirmed that Bai Yufei had no issues, and wanted to leave the room quietly.

But Bai Yufei called out to her, biting her lip, eyes brimming with tears, and said weakly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was ignorant before, said some nonsense, and did wrong things. Please don't take it to heart."

Liu Xin'ai's expression didn't change, and she only said indifferently, "I won't hold it against you."

This slightly condescending tone of hers caused a flash of malice to cross the depths of Bai Yufei's eyes.

But it disappeared very quickly.

She then said with relief, "Sister-in-law is truly magnanimous, and you manage this home very well; the servants respect you highly and protect you everywhere."

This sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.

But Liu Xin'ai always felt... that there was a hidden meaning in Bai Yufei's words.

Bai Yufei withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Qin Yiyan, saying with a look of shame, "Brother, after all these unpleasant things happened, Sister-in-law hasn't told you, right? Sister-in-law is really tolerant of me,"

"If we were at home, the mistakes I made would probably have been discovered long ago."

Bai Yufei actually hoped that Liu Xin'ai would complain to Qin Yiyan.

That way, she would have an opportunity to make an issue of it.

But judging from the current situation...

Liu Xin'ai had not said anything.

But this did not affect her continuing to pick faults at all!

Because she had just been telling Qin Yiyan in a roundabout way that Liu Xin'ai and he... were not close.

Qin Yiyan heard it.

But wasn't the relationship between him and Liu Xin'ai... also like this?

If it was like this between a husband and wife, how much more so for the two of them?

It was just that Bai Yufei did not know the hidden circumstances behind it.

And it was impossible for Qin Yiyan to let her know.

Taking a light breath, Qin Yiyan assumed the demeanor of the head of the household and said, "We are family, which means being tolerant of each other. Let's just stop at the previous unpleasantness."

Bai Yufei was eager for this matter to pass, so she nodded obediently, a timid smile still on her face.

As for Liu Xin'ai...

Her decision was not important; she was just a bystander anyway.

But immediately after—

Qin Yiyan spoke up: "Fei'er, I see that your allergy symptoms have almost disappeared. Is there nothing wrong with your body anymore?"

Bai Yufei really wanted to deny Qin Yiyan's words.

As long as she was still a patient, she would have many opportunities to torment Liu Xin'ai!

But...

Since Qin Yiyan had already said so, Bai Yufei could only nod obediently.

"Since that's the case, you don't need to be taken care of anymore. When you want to go to work, just go to the company with me."

"I can go on Tuesday. These two days, I can just adjust my state."

Qin Yiyan approved of Bai Yufei's suggestion and nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case..."

Liu Xin'ai's voice suddenly rang out.

She had originally just been

watching the show, but since the matter concerned her, she had to speak up, attracting Qin Yiyan's attention.

Seeing Qin Yiyan look at her, Liu Xin'ai then continued: "Since Fei'er doesn't need me to take care of her, can I go back to the Laboratory?"

"Hmm." Qin Yiyan nodded.
