Chapter 1134: She Really Doesn't Need This Sincerity

Bai Yufei's questioning left Qin Yiyan stunned.

Recalling Liu Xin'ai in the photos again...

She really was smiling very happily.

And very warmly, too.

That was a side of her Qin Yiyan never saw!

In an instant, Qin Yiyan's chest was suddenly filled with an unknown emotion.

It made him very irritable!

Bai Yufei stared closely at the change in Qin Yiyan's expression.

Discovering he was very agitated, she immediately softened her voice and said, "You are so outstanding, you should find a wife who loves you and has eyes only for you!"

"

As her voice fell, Bai Yufei wanted to reach out and hold Qin Yiyan's hand.

In her heart, she was frantically wanting to tell him that she was the one whose eyes were full of him!!!

But Qin Yiyan dodged Bai Yufei.

After only a moment, his gaze had calmed down, and he said in a firm tone, "Your sister-in-law loves me very much; she just isn't good with words."

"But..."

"This is the last time. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, I will send you back to Mom and Dad's!"

Qin Yiyan did dote on Bai Yufei.

But he would not allow anyone to interfere in his marriage.

Even if it was his younger sister, even if it was in the name of concern, it was not allowed!

Bai Yufei did not expect Qin Yiyan to suddenly change his attitude and be so protective of Liu Xin'ai; she couldn't help but be stunned.

A flame of jealousy instantly surged into her heart, almost burning away all her reason!

Bai Yufei gripped her palms tightly, her voice even trembling slightly: "Brother, I just wanted to care about you!"

"I don't need this kind of concern," Qin Yiyan said, reaching out a hand toward Bai Yufei and commanding, "Who is investigating Xin'ai? Give me that person's contact information!"

Bai Yufei dared not resist, and in the end, she could only write down a number and hand it to Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan looked at the number, his expression turning very cold.

Bai Yufei knew that Qin Yiyan... would not let that guy off!

That bastard dared to swindle her money, so even if he got dealt with, he deserved it!

And now, the only thing she was glad about was that she hadn't yet had time to take action against Liu Xin'ai.

However...

This didn't mean she would just let it go!

She had to drive Liu Xin'ai away!!!

The siblings in the villa ended up parting on bad terms.

The atmosphere in the house was also somewhat gloomy because of this.

When Liu Xin'ai returned, she also felt something was a bit off.

Just as she was feeling strange, Qin Yiyan walked down the stairs.

He even took the initiative to speak to her in a gentle manner: "Why didn't you call me to have someone pick you up?"

"Xiao Xiao and I were talking as we walked, and in the end, I didn't go to her apartment; I just hailed a taxi on the side of the road to come back."

Qin Yiyan nodded.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Your friend... is she not very satisfied with my behavior?"

Now that he had calmed down, Qin Yiyan also felt that his behavior of dragging Liu Xin'ai away in public was very inappropriate.

As a good friend, Xu Xiaoxiao must have expressed her dissatisfaction in private.

However, Liu Xin'ai didn't say much about this topic, only saying, "I explained it to Xiao Xiao, and she can understand."

"Then how did you explain it?"

Qin Yiyan's follow-up question caught Liu Xin'ai off guard.

She had thought this topic would stop there.

But since Qin Yiyan asked, Liu Xin'ai recalled a little and said:

"I said you were busy with work, which is why you were irritable, and that if there were any shortcomings, you would correct them yourself."

When Liu Xin'ai said these words, she felt a bit unsure.

She didn't know if she would touch some nerve of Qin Yiyan's and make him dissatisfied.

But the result...

"I didn't expect you to defend me in front of an outsider."

Qin Yiyan's expression was relaxed, and his tone of voice held no coldness at all.

This reaction of his once again exceeded Liu Xin'ai's expectations.

She found that this man was truly becoming increasingly difficult to fathom.

The next instant, Qin Yiyan suddenly made a decision—"Another day, invite your friend to the house for a meal."

Liu Xin'ai was stunned, and then immediately refused: "Let's forget about that."

But Qin Yiyan was very insistent: "This meal is necessary; today's meal was too hasty and couldn't reflect my sincerity at all."

Liu Xin'ai was even more surprised upon hearing this.

She really didn't need this sincerity.

Because it would be very troublesome!

Thinking for two seconds, she wanted to open her mouth to ask Qin Yiyan to change his mind.

However, her peripheral vision caught... a pair of resentful eyes from upstairs!

Discovering that Liu Xin'ai was looking over, Bai Yufei at the room's entrance immediately ducked away.

Her guilty appearance made Liu Xin'ai feel suspicious inside.

Linking this to the strange atmosphere in the house since she returned...

It seemed that something must have happened while she was not at home!

Just as Liu Xin'ai was deep in thought, Qin Yiyan had already walked to the study.

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and followed him.

She even closed the door after entering the study.

Seeing her act this way, Qin Yiyan knew she had something to say in private.

He did not rush her, folding his hands and waiting for Liu Xin'ai to speak.

"You cannot invite Xiao Xiao to be a guest in our home!"

These words made Qin Yiyan slightly raise his eyebrows as he asked, "Why not?"

Because... Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze is very sharp; if she is allowed to come to the house, she will definitely discover more details!

By then, the fact that her and Qin Yiyan's marital relationship is not harmonious will no longer be hidden!

Liu Xin'ai explained at length, telling Qin Yiyan about the worries in her heart.

But Qin Yiyan replied with a calm expression: "Then wouldn't it be fine if you just put on a good performance?"

These words...

They were certainly said lightly!

Liu Xin'ai sighed and lowered her eyes.

"But some things cannot be faked; it is very easy to find flaws."

Qin Yiyan had been in a good mood.

But because of this sentence, he could not help but frown instantly: "Who told you to fake it? Can't you just be a proper wife? If you were very competent, Fei'er wouldn't have gone to investigate you!"

"Investigate me!?"

Liu Xin'ai was confused at first, then...

She understood everything, and her eyes held more dissatisfaction and resentment.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan still somewhat shielded Bai Yufei, saying: "I have already scolded Fei'er; she won't act recklessly in the future."

His intention in saying this was to let Liu Xin'ai know that he had stood up for her.

But Liu Xin'ai was full of doubt.

Qin Yiyan... is he really willing to scold his younger sister?

I fear that if Bai Yufei acts spoiled and plays the victim, Qin Yiyan will let the matter pass painlessly just like before.

Thinking of this, a cold smile hung unconsciously on the corner of Liu Xin'ai's mouth.

Although that smile was very faint, Qin Yiyan caught it.

The indifference and lack of care within it suddenly made him flare up.

His speech also began to become impolite: "When it comes down to it, everything is still your fault!"

Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Qin Yiyan with a surprised expression.

Immediately after, she heard him continue: "If you could fulfill your duties as a wife, you wouldn't have aroused Fei'er's suspicion and caused those incidents!"

Such an accusation made Liu Xin'ai sneer.

As expected...

Qin Yiyan really is protecting Bai Yufei...

Thinking this, she said indifferently: "I'm afraid that even if it weren't me, if you changed to someone else, your sister would still be dissatisfied."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Liu Xin'ai breathed lightly, suppressing the impulse in her heart, before saying: "I have already tried my best to do as well as I can; asking for any more is you being unreasonable!"
