Chapter 1144: As a Husband, He Is Very Competent

Qin Yiyan decided not to reveal the truth for the time being.

Instead, he followed Liu Xin'ai's lead and continued chatting: "I was thinking about what else I could do for you."

"You have already solved the big problem; I am very grateful to you!"

Liu Xin'ai's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.

And her gratitude made Qin Yiyan's heart soften.

It also made the tone of Qin Yiyan's voice soften unconsciously:

"We are husband and wife; we should naturally support each other."

Liu Xin'ai did not quite know how to respond to what followed.

Although she was very grateful for Qin Yiyan's help.

But... it was only gratitude, after all.

She had never intended to change their relationship through this matter.

Pursing her lips in thought, Liu Xin'ai changed the subject: "I'm almost at the Hospital; if there's anything else, we'll talk when we meet in a moment."

"Mm, that's fine, see you in a moment then."

As the words fell, both of them hung up the phone.

Liu Xin'ai let out a sigh of relief.

As for Qin Yiyan, he wore a look of contemplation.

Half an hour later, Liu Xin'ai appeared at the Hospital in a rush.

At this moment, the gloom that had previously been on Liu Xin'ai's face was gone.

Instead, she was full of spirit.

However... she looked a bit disheveled.

Especially her shoes, which were covered in mud.

Qin Yiyan looked at her shoes and asked in confusion: "Where did you go?"

Bringing this up, Liu Xin'ai was somewhat helpless: "I was truly at my wit's end, so I thought I'd go to the Black Market to see if I could find a substitute medicine."

"The Black Market? You really have grown bold!"

"But in reality, I never found that place. The actual terrain in that area is different from what the map shows."

Liu Xin'ai sighed, lamenting that she had been busy running around only to end up with nothing.

Qin Yiyan stared fixedly at Liu Xin'ai, his expression shifting several times.

Finally, he calmed down and asked a question: "When you encounter problems, why don't you come to me to solve them?"

This was what Qin Yiyan minded most, and it was also what he urgently wanted to get to the bottom of.

And Liu Xin'ai...

Had never considered asking Qin Yiyan for help.

She thought for a moment before replying: "I just wanted to try it on my own."

"Try it on your own? Did you not ask anyone else for help?"

"Of course I did, but... everyone I could think of told me they were sorry, and the emails I wrote were also rejected."

Thinking of the one rejection after another yesterday, Liu Xin'ai still felt very frustrated.

Qin Yiyan had been watching Liu Xin'ai, and from her expression, he could see...

She had no idea that Jiang Chenghao was also involved in this matter!

Qin Yiyan became increasingly curious.

His curiosity also made him impatient to find the answer.

However, facing Liu Xin'ai... he still had words to urge:

"In the future, tell me if anything happens. We are husband and wife; between husband and wife, we should help each other, shouldn't we?"

Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai with a deep gaze.

He hoped... she could give him her trust.

Liu Xin'ai could feel Qin Yiyan's expectations.

But...

She could not do it, and she did not want to agree against her will, so she pursed her lips and smiled faintly, hoping to use a smile to dissolve the awkwardness of the moment.

Yet, the sight of her faint smile made Qin Yiyan stare without blinking.

Just at this moment, the Doctor walked over.

Qin Yiyan had already communicated with the Doctor; in order to avoid complications, he hoped the Doctor would not tell Liu Xin'ai the true origin of this medicine for the time being.

The Doctor agreed.

Now, meeting with Liu Xin'ai, the two of them were only discussing the subsequent treatment plan.

While they were communicating, Qin Yiyan's phone rang.

He walked to the side to answer it and heard Lin Ze requesting instructions from the other end:

"There is a business dinner tonight; if you cannot spare the time, I can help you decline it."

"No need, I have already returned; the event will proceed as planned."

"Very well, then I will come to pick you up. I am not sure if you are currently..."

"At the Hospital."

Once Lin Ze heard this, he knew what was going on and did not ask further.

As for Liu Xin'ai, she was still communicating with the Doctor.

The Doctor thought of something and urged, "During the treatment period, you must ensure the patient's mood remains calm. Emotional agitation will certainly worsen the condition and lead to consequences we cannot predict."

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently and said, "I know."

Taking the new medicine was a risk; they had to face many unknown situations.

But it also bought Liu Xin'ai time.

She had to achieve a new breakthrough within half a month!

Qin Yiyan walked back to Liu Xin'ai's side, stroked her shoulder, and asked softly, "Would you like to go to a dinner party together? Consider it a way to relax."

"Sorry, I can't get away right now."

Qin Yiyan did not force her; he nodded and said, "Then don't be too tense. You need to balance work and rest. Curing your father isn't something that can be done in a day or two; you need to take care of yourself first."

"Mm, I know."

Qin Yiyan kissed Liu Xin'ai on the forehead before turning to leave.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tengnian's attending Doctor couldn't help but exclaim, "The affection between you two as a married couple is truly wonderful!"

Liu Xin'ai curled her lips slightly but said nothing.

Yet the Doctor's exclamations continued: "Your husband is truly very dedicated. He must have set off to help you find the medicine the moment he heard the news. Going back and forth like this, I'm afraid he hasn't rested at all."

Liu Xin'ai... hadn't considered that point.

She looked back at Qin Yiyan's receding figure and then murmured, "He... is indeed very dedicated."

As a husband, Qin Yiyan was beyond reproach.

It was just a pity... there was no love between them.

This destined them to only be able to treat each other with formal respect, but never to share a life of mutual support in times of hardship.

Taking a light breath, Liu Xin'ai put away her reflections and turned to continue discussing the treatment plan with the Doctor.

After walking out of the Hospital, Qin Yiyan waited for a while before seeing the car Lin Ze drove over.

Once seated in the car, Qin Yiyan discovered that Bai Yufei was also inside.

Bai Yufei had changed into a beautiful dress, and she had clearly dressed up with great care.

Yet the expression on her face was not very happy; she pouted her lips and complained, "Brother, didn't you say you would come to the company a bit later? But you didn't come all day today! With you gone, I was so bored!"

Hearing such a delicate and coquettish voice, Lin Ze, who was driving, couldn't help but shiver.

He thought to himself, this Miss Bai...

She wasn't like this just a moment ago.

She was bossy and arrogant toward others, but only when facing Qin Yiyan... did she act so affected and artificial.

This face-changing technique was truly breathtaking!

While Lin Ze was complaining internally, Qin Yiyan said, "You came to the company to work. As long as there is work, you won't be bored."

These words made Bai Yufei even more unhappy.

She even muttered, "You talk like the company boss, not like my brother!"

Hearing the complaint, Qin Yiyan showed a helpless smile.

But the next instant, he looked Bai Yufei up and down and praised:

"This dress today suits you very well."

"What about my makeup?"

Makeup...

To be honest, Qin Yiyan couldn't see anything special about it.

But he still chose to praise her: "Very beautiful, like a lotus rising from the water."
