Chapter 1130: This Is Your True Face

Because it really is such a mess inside!

Xu Xiaoxiao, who followed her in, was also a bit dumbfounded by the scene before her.

Xu Xiaoxiao lived here all by herself, so she usually had no qualms and just did whatever was comfortable.

It didn't matter if it was a bit messy.

But now that a guest had arrived...

Xu Xiaoxiao felt awkward.

Scratching her hair, she muttered, "Oh my, I really didn't expect a guest to come over, otherwise I definitely would have tidied up."

Liu Xin'ai knew Xu Xiaoxiao's personality all too well.

She feared that the "tidying up" she spoke of would just be shoving all the clutter into the wardrobe...

Xu Xiaoxiao put down her phone and keys, then said, "You sit first, I'll get you something to drink."

Hmm, she bought a case of cola the day before yesterday, where did she put it?

Xu Xiaoxiao began to recall.

Then she searched here and there.

By the time she finally found the cola, she discovered that Liu Xin'ai had already tidied up most of the clutter in the room!

Looking at the room with half its space cleared out, Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "Oh my, Xin'ai, you're practically a fairy in a snail shell!"

"These are all things I can do with a flick of the hand; if you really don't want to tidy up, just hire a housekeeper."

"Mm, if I come across a suitable one, I'll find one."

"Also, as a teacher, you should look like a teacher. If your colleagues or students come over one day, wouldn't your true colors be exposed?"

Liu Xin'ai's earnest and well-meaning manner made Xu Xiaoxiao laugh.

She couldn't help but tease, "Why is your tone the same as my mother's?"

"It's because you're so worrying!"

"Yes, yes, yes, then Mrs. Qin who worries so much, have some cola."

As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she handed over a bottle of cola.

Liu Xin'ai didn't actually like this kind of drink very much.

But after being busy for a while, she felt a bit hot.

So she

still accepted it.

The two of them chatted for a while longer, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

But Liu Xin'ai had to return to the Laboratory.

So even though she was reluctant, she still had to say goodbye to her good friend.

However, thinking of Friday...

Liu Xin'ai's heart was filled with anticipation once again.

Friday.

Inside a luxury restaurant—

Bai Yufei, wearing a long white dress, took Qin Yiyan's arm and walked gracefully into the restaurant.

Compared to the relaxed-looking Bai Yufei, Qin Yiyan's expression was very serious.

From head to toe, he radiated an aura of "strangers keep away."

With him looking like this, the waiters didn't even dare to come over to greet them.

Fortunately, Bai Yufei was all smiles, and under the waiter's guidance, she sat with Qin Yiyan at a window-side table.

Looking at the serious-faced man in front of her, Bai Yufei sighed, "Brother, I know you're in a bad mood, but this restaurant is quite good; I specifically reserved a table, let's have a good meal first."

Bai Yufei said it lightly.

But Qin Yiyan's mood remained gloomy.

Two days ago, a loophole appeared in an important company contract; although the problem had been solved, the impact it brought was very bad.

Qin Yiyan had been smoothing over relations and cleaning up the mess these past few days.

The tediousness and complexity of it were not something to be told to outsiders.

So even when faced with gourmet food, Qin Yiyan had absolutely no appetite.

And the reason he came to this restaurant today was because he couldn't withstand Bai Yufei's persistent pestering.

Qin Yiyan was already prepared to just eat something casually to appease Bai Yufei.

But not long after Bai Yufei sat down, she stared at the corner.

Her gaze was even filled with shock and uncertainty.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yiyan asked casually, "Did you run into an acquaintance?"

Bai Yufei bit her lip, hesitating for a moment.

Finally, as if she had

made up her mind, she said with a sense of burning her bridges:

"Brother, actually there's something I wanted to tell you two days ago... I have a friend who likes photography and enjoys street photography when he's free. Just two days ago, he took a few photos..."

Bai Yufei didn't finish her sentence, seemingly not knowing how to describe it.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but frown and urged, "Fei'er, what exactly do you want to say?"

"... You'd better see for yourself!"

Saying that, Bai Yufei flipped through the photos on her phone to show Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan only took one look, and his fury burned!

He saw Liu Xin'ai in the photos, smiling coquettishly at a man!

There were even photos of the two of them embracing!

Some were even...

Photos of the two of them entering and leaving an apartment from behind!!!

Qin Yiyan was so angry he felt like killing someone!!!

Thinking of how Bai Yufei had just looked in a certain direction...

Qin Yiyan immediately turned his head.

Then he saw Liu Xin'ai sitting opposite someone, eating and laughing!

And that person, with their back to Qin Yiyan, was wearing the same black clothes as in the photos!!!

In that instant, Qin Yiyan felt his mind go blank.

His body stood up uncontrollably!

Seeing this, Bai Yufei feigned concern, pressing on Qin Yiyan's arm and urging, "Brother, don't be impulsive, let's talk this through!"

This was just a polite formality.

In reality?

Bai Yufei was dying for Qin Yiyan to make a scene, to let everyone present see the true face of that bitch Liu Xin'ai!

Under Bai Yufei's expectant gaze, Qin Yiyan walked over with a gloomy face.

Liu Xin'ai didn't know danger was approaching and smiled, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Xiaoxiao brought a piece of steak to her lips,

opened her mouth to bite it, and nodded.

"I think it's good too. The place you picked is very much to my liking, but you have to eat more. Look at your little face, you've lost weight again!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao pinched Liu Xin'ai's chin.

This little gesture made Liu Xin'ai look helpless: "You, when will you ever break this habit of being so handsy?"

"Why should I change? In this world, there aren't many people who can make me want to take advantage of them."

"In that case, should I feel honored?"

"You could say that."

Liu Xin'ai shook her head with a smile.

Out of the corner of her eye, however, she sensed someone walking quickly to her side.

"Liu Xin'ai, come out with me!!!"

Qin Yiyan spoke in an angry voice, grabbed Liu Xin'ai's wrist without explanation, and attempted to drag her away.

At this moment, Qin Yiyan's anger had almost burned away his reason!

He barely restrained his impulse, or he would have flipped the table!

But Liu Xin'ai was suddenly stunned.

How could Qin Yiyan appear so suddenly?

She had told him he was very busy!

Liu Xin'ai felt panicked and uneasy inside.

She couldn't let Qin Yiyan act so recklessly, so she stumbled a few steps, then shook off Qin Yiyan's hand.

She asked in a low voice, "Are you crazy?!"

Qin Yiyan's voice sounded as if it were squeezed through his teeth: "If you still want to save face, come with me now. As for the man opposite you... I definitely won't let him off!"

A man?

"Are you talking about Xiao..."

Qin Yiyan didn't want to hear her excuses and dragged her away directly.

But someone called out to him in a cold tone: "Mr. Qin, where are you taking Xin'ai?"

This voice...

Qin Yiyan froze for a moment and looked back...

Only to discover that the person wearing the black

clothes was a tall woman!!!

Xu Xiaoxiao was already angry.

The person being treated so roughly right now was her best friend!

Xu Xiaoxiao was full of rage, glaring at Qin Yiyan with a forced, icy smile.

"Could it be that the gentleness Mr. Qin showed during our first video call was all a facade? In reality, is this your true face, Mr. Qin?"
