Chapter 1135: Is There Such a Rush?

When Liu Xin'ai said these words, her attitude was extremely calm.

And such a demeanor, how could it be like that of a family?

I fear that even business partners would have more warmth than she does!

Qin Yiyan became increasingly dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked without a second thought: "If you had married Jiang Chenghao back then, would you also treat him with this attitude every day!?"

Once the words were out, Qin Yiyan felt vaguely regretful.

Liu Xin'ai also instantly furrowed her brows and retorted: "What is the point of saying such a hypothetical?!"

It was indeed meaningless.

Qin Yiyan did not even know why he had to say such things.

How boring!

Moreover, his original intention was not to quarrel with Liu Xin'ai; he did not know why, but as they spoke, things became tense.

Qin Yiyan rubbed his temples, appearing somewhat irritable.

Fortunately, he calmed down a little bit quickly and ended their conversation with a commanding tone:

"Find out what Xu Xiaoxiao likes to eat, go tell the kitchen to prepare it, confirm the time, and tell me; I will clear that day!"

After saying this, Qin Yiyan opened his computer and looked at the data reports.

Liu Xin'ai watched Qin Yiyan quietly, feeling stifled with anger inside.

This man was still so overbearing, not knowing how to respect others!

But Xu Xiaoxiao was her friend, and she had the right to make the final decision!

……

The next day.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Xu Xiaoxiao bought two cups of coffee.

She then invited Liu Xin'ai to sit on a bench outside the laboratory building, basking in the warm sun while drinking coffee.

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoxiao thought of something, turned her head, and asked: "Should I go to your house a bit earlier this weekend evening?"

Liu Xin'ai did not react for a moment and asked back: "Come to my house?"

"Yes, didn't you and your husband invite me to dinner?"

"Is it... Qin Yiyan who looked for you?"

"That's right, he said he got my number from you and then called me."

After finishing, Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head to look at Liu Xin'ai and asked again: "Why do you seem so out of the loop?"

Liu Xin'ai was naturally out of the loop; that guy Qin Yiyan actually made decisions on his own!

But she did not want to show anything unusual in front of her friend, so she smiled and explained: "Because I wasn't prepared yet; I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but Yiyan was too impatient."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao made no comment.

Instead, she asked another question: "Going to your place for dinner, your sister-in-law will definitely be there too, right?"

This question made Liu Xin'ai alert at once, and she hurriedly asked: "What do you want to do to her?"

"What could I do to her? At most... just observe her."

"

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled with a gentle and harmonious air.

But Liu Xin'ai knew...

Behind her gentle air, there must be other schemes!

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai's small face was full of worry, Xu Xiaoxiao patted her cheek and smiled to soothe her: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble; I will definitely finish this meal peacefully!"

Just at this moment...

Xu Xiaoxiao's phone rang.

She took out her phone to look at it, and her expression suddenly became gentle.

Liu Xin'ai noticed this detail.

She curled her lips and smiled: "Is it the man you like sending you a message?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded gently: "He invited me to watch a movie this weekend."

"Ah? The time conflicts; otherwise..."

Liu Xin'ai wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Xu Xiaoxiao to change her mind.

Who knew, after Xu Xiaoxiao replied with a few words, she looked up and said: "Done, I've already declined it and changed it to next Tuesday evening!"

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai sighed helplessly.

But she would not give up and continued to lobby: "That's not good, it's his first time asking you out."

"It's fine, good food is worth waiting for. Besides, I'm a girl, what's wrong with letting him wait a bit! From a psychological perspective, delayed gratification actually makes people more satisfied!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao bringing up professional theories, Liu Xin'ai smiled helplessly:

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the professional, I won't argue with you."

"However, it's not very good to visit for the first time empty-handed. How about I bring some red wine to your house?"

"You don't need to bring anything."

"It's still necessary; one can never be blamed for being too polite."

Xu Xiaoxiao began to ponder what would be better to give.

Liu Xin'ai smiled faintly.

Immediately...

She felt some anxiety about her good friend coming to visit.

I hope everything goes smoothly...

On the other side—Qin Yiyan was already instructing the butler to properly prepare for the weekend banquet.

He had guessed that Liu Xin'ai would not take the initiative to communicate with Xu Xiaoxiao.

So he struck first to gain the advantage!

Furthermore, the weekend banquet must be flawless!

Because of Qin Yiyan's instructions, the butler began to get busy with the servants.

Seeing this, Bai Yufei stopped the butler and asked, "What are you all doing?"

"We are tidying up the whole house in preparation for hosting an honored guest."

"An honored guest? Who is it?"

"A friend of the Madam."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yufei frowned and asked again, "That Xu Xiaoxiao?"

"Exactly."

This result made Bai Yufei immediately sneer out loud.

She is just some nobody, yet they actually treat her as an honored guest!

Bai Yufei was just about to reprimand the butler and tell him to watch his wording.

But then, she realized that this might have been arranged by Qin Yiyan.

If she scolded the butler and this matter reached Qin Yiyan's ears...

Bai Yufei had to change her mind, saying in a cold voice, "Tidy up well, don't let that 'honored guest' find any faults!"

The butler could hear the gritting of teeth in Bai Yufei's voice.

But he dared not ask more, only lowering his head to reply, "Yes, Miss, rest assured."

"

"By the way, when is that 'honored guest' coming?"

"It is this weekend."

This weekend...

Thinking of something, a smile appeared on Bai Yufei's face again.

If she remembered correctly, there would be a very important business cocktail party this weekend.

Qin Yiyan did not know about it yet.

When the time comes...

He will definitely stand that woman Xu Xiaoxiao up!

Bai Yufei planned to wait and watch the joke.

Who knew...

After hearing the schedule from Lin Ze at the company, Qin Yiyan directly instructed, "At that time, you go in my place."

Bai Yufei was standing right beside Qin Yiyan.

Hearing this decision, she looked at him in disbelief.

Lin Ze was also persuading him: "There will be government officials attending this cocktail party, I think..."

"But I have other arrangements this weekend, so it is settled."

After speaking, Qin Yiyan looked at Bai Yufei again: "Fei'er, go with Lin Ze; it will be a good chance to gain some experience."

Gain experience?

It was just an excuse!

In reality, Qin Yiyan felt she was an eyesore and would disturb the 'honored guest's' mood!!

But Bai Yufei would not hide away just for a Xu Xiaoxiao!

So she refused, saying: "If Brother doesn't go, what is the point of me going? I don't know anyone!"

"It is precisely because you don't know them that you need to make connections."

"I don't want to, it's so boring!"

Seeing Bai Yufei's resistant expression, Qin Yiyan did not force her, only saying: "Alright then, if you have plans with friends, you can take the weekend to relax."

Seeing Qin Yiyan finding another excuse to push her away, Bai Yufei became angry!

She looked at Qin Yiyan, feeling aggrieved and unwilling: "Brother, are you really that impatient to drive me away!?"
