Chapter 1137: Suddenly I Really Want to Bully Her

Qin Yiyan looked toward Bai Yufei and asked with concern, "Have you still not met any boys you like?"

"Mm."

"Then would you like me to keep an eye out for some outstanding young men for you?"

Bai Yufei knew what her brother meant.

But her brother's intentions...

made her heart ache!

Bai Yufei gripped her chopsticks tightly and said sullenly, "I want to focus on my career right now; I don't want to consider matters of the heart."

Xu Xiaoxiao spoke up at this moment: "I advise you to consider it; otherwise, if you dawdle until you reach my age, you'll truly become an older leftover woman!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words were both a counterattack and a wake-up call.

Although Bai Yufei was angry, she could find no fault in them and could only seethe with resentment inside!

Qin Yiyan was genuinely concerned for Bai Yufei.

Worried that she might miss out on a good romance, he advised further: "When fate arrives, you can't stop it, so there's no need to deliberately set restrictions for yourself."

"Alright, Brother, there are so many people here, let's not talk about my romantic life!"

Bai Yufei's voice was resentful.

Hearing this, Qin Yiyan paused, then smiled: "Mm, you are a grown young woman now; it was my lack of consideration."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan changed the subject.

Xu Xiaoxiao was skilled at observing people's hearts.

Therefore, she could always keep up with the topics Qin Yiyan brought up.

The atmosphere of the conversation was also quite pleasant.

But Bai Yufei felt as if a lump of frustration was stuck in her chest.

Once the meal ended, she couldn't wait to go to the garden.

She had originally wanted to get some fresh air there.

But seeing those flowers that Liu Xin'ai liked inside the Flower Room...

her anger flared up again!

She wished she could go inside and use scissors to destroy all the flowers!!!

Just as the thoughts in Bai Yufei's mind were becoming increasingly uncontrollable, a voice came from behind her:

"It seems Miss Bai really likes these flowers; you came to admire them right after finishing your meal!"

That annoying voice was like a curse.

Bai Yufei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then managed to say in a calm voice, "Who doesn't like beautiful things?"

"That only counts if they belong to you; otherwise, it is neither justified nor proper! You might even be despised for it!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words held a hidden meaning.

Bai Yufei could hear it!

Since there was no one else around, Bai Yufei stopped pretending.

She turned back and stared coldly at Xu Xiaoxiao, demanding, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Don't think that just because you drove Xin'ai away, something can happen between you and Qin Yiyan; that will never be possible in this lifetime!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't beat around the bush and said it straight out.

Her directness made Bai Yufei's pupils shrink!

She even missed a beat in her breathing!

"You, what are you saying!?"

"You know what I'm saying, and you can fool others, but you can't fool me. I suspect that if you make your feelings any more obvious, Qin Yiyan will notice too. When that happens, you won't even be able to be his sister; he will only distance himself from you!"

What Xu Xiaoxiao said was exactly the fear deep in Bai Yufei's heart.

But...

what did this have to do with Xu Xiaoxiao!

By what right was she meddling in other people's business!?

Bai Yufei opened her mouth to rebuke her.

But Xu Xiaoxiao extended a finger, signaling for Bai Yufei to look toward the other side of the Flower Room.

On the other side of the Flower Room, a person was standing there at that moment.

It was none other than Liu Xin'ai.

She had heard from a servant that Xu Xiaoxiao had come to the garden, so she had come over to look for her.

But she couldn't help but stop in her tracks when passing the Flower Room.

She had still been fantasizing about seeing the Flower Room filled with clusters of blooms.

But now... only withered flowers and fallen leaves remained.

What a pity.

Just as Liu Xin'ai was silently lamenting—"I have already had a batch of fresh flowers air-freighted from the Netherlands; they will arrive tomorrow."

Qin Yiyan walked over slowly from behind.

And his words made Liu Xin'ai turn around immediately and ask quite naturally:

"Is this to clean up the mess for your sister?"

"I was clearly..." Qin Yiyan opened his mouth to refute.

But with the words on the tip of his tongue, he changed his mind and said insincerely: "Mm, to avoid creating friction over some flowers."

If Liu Xin'ai truly cared about these flowers, she wouldn't have stood by and watched Bai Yufei destroy them to this extent.

However, what Qin Yiyan thinks has nothing to do with her.

She needs to go find Xu Xiaoxiao.

But just the moment Liu Xin'ai passed by Qin Yiyan...

Qin Yiyan suddenly reached out and hugged Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai was shocked!

She moved to push Qin Yiyan away!

But Qin Yiyan held her very tightly, and whispered in Liu Xin'ai's ear: "Xu Xiaoxiao and Fei'er are both looking this way."

"Xiao Xiao... is with Fei'er?"

"Mm."

These two... they wouldn't start an argument, would they?

Liu Xin'ai was very worried and wanted to turn her head to look.

But Qin Yiyan pressed down on her head and said: "If you turn back now, others will think the two of us are acting."

They...

Were acting to begin with!

But in order not to be discovered, Liu Xin'ai could only endure it.

Qin Yiyan, however, was not very satisfied with her performance and asked again: "Are you planning to just stand there like a wooden stake?"

"What else?"

"You should wrap your arms around my waist; do I need to teach you that too?"

Liu Xin'ai really did not want to cooperate with Qin Yiyan.

But thinking of Xu Xiaoxiao's keen observation...

She could only extend her arms.

Qin Yiyan only felt her arms hanging around his waist like a water snake.

Instantly, his chest was filled with a surge of emotion.

However, the woman standing before him quite unromantically questioned: "Are they really still there? You wouldn't be lying to me, would you!"

As soon as her voice fell, she felt her arm get pinched!

That pinch was neither light nor heavy, but it hurt Liu Xin'ai!

She couldn't help but frown and demand: "What are you doing?"

"Punishing you."

"Why punish me!?"

"Because you are questioning my word."

Liu Xin'ai felt he was unreasonable and retorted angrily: "Just how insecure are you that you can't even let others doubt you?"

These words made Qin Yiyan narrow his eyes slightly: "Liu Xin'ai, your courage is growing larger and larger!"

"This has nothing to do with courage; I only say what I want to say!"

"Oh, so you can speak your mind? That's truly not easy; I thought you were just a silent gourd who wouldn't say anything at all!"

Liu Xin'ai was, of course, not a silent gourd.

She was also willing to share her feelings with others.

But if the other person was Qin Yiyan...

Then forget it!

At this time, the night was dim, and by the moonlight, Qin Yiyan saw that Liu Xin'ai's face carried a faint anger.

She was angry.

Yet Qin Yiyan instead found this version of Liu Xin'ai more pleasing to the eye.

And even more... attractive.

Liu Xin'ai did not know what Qin Yiyan was thinking.

In any case, she had reached her limit of endurance.

She reached out her hand, intending to push Qin Yiyan away.

But Qin Yiyan still did not let her go, and even reminded her: "Your friend is still watching."

"So what, do you think that just because of this, you can act without fear!?"

"That's right!!!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai's eyes widened in anger.

Qin Yiyan looked at her like this...

And suddenly wanted to bully her!!!

With this thought in his mind, Qin Yiyan lowered his head and kissed her red lips!
