Chapter 1145: From Now On, Please Treat Xin'ai as a Stranger

This time, Bai Yufei finally revealed a happy smile.

Within the smile, there was also a touch of shyness.

Because the dinner party was scheduled for quite late today, the event would end even later.

Qin Yiyan was worried that Bai Yufei would be tired, so he said, "Today's event isn't something that must be attended; if you feel bored, I can have Lin Ze take you back first."

Bai Yufei immediately refused, "This is a great opportunity to expand my connections, of course I have to go."

"Then if you want to leave early, just tell me."

"Got it."

Bai Yufei sat obediently by Qin Yiyan's side.

Her mood was quite good.

Moreover, she would not leave early, because...

She wanted to stand by Qin Yiyan's side openly and honestly!

So what if Liu Xin'ai was his wife?

She didn't even show her face.

What was the use of having a title!

Thinking of Liu Xin'ai, Bai Yufei raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of disdain.

At this moment, Qin Yiyan was also thinking about Liu Xin'ai.

But thinking of that woman...

His expression was calmer and more composed than ever before.

Only, after arriving at the banquet, Qin Yiyan's expression changed.

Because...

He actually ran into Jiang Chenghao here!

Jiang Chenghao also saw Qin Yiyan.

The moment their gazes met, he was slightly stunned.

But they both tacitly pretended not to know each other.

Shifting their gazes, they went to exchange pleasantries with people they knew.

Jiang Chenghao thought such a pretense would last until the dinner ended.

But when he got up to go to the restroom, he was actually blocked in a corner by Qin Yiyan!

Jiang Chenghao's lips moved slightly, about to speak.

Qin Yiyan beat him to it, saying in a firm tone, "The medicine for Xin'ai's father was sent by you."

Jiang Chenghao did not expect Qin Yiyan to know so quickly, and felt a bit surprised in his heart.

However, he did not intend to deny it, and said candidly, "Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to help, I didn't mean to disturb you two."

The three words "Jiang Chenghao" were a disturbance in themselves!

A coldness and impatience flashed through Qin Yiyan's heart.

But on the surface, he remained calm and unruffled, and asked, "I'm curious, how did you know about this?"

"That day at the Hospital, I heard Xin'ai on the phone; Xin'ai was distraught at the time and didn't notice me."

Jiang Chenghao really did not want to cause trouble for Liu Xin'ai.

So his description left no room for any ambiguity.

But even so, Qin Yiyan still felt displeased!

He looked at Jiang Chenghao expressionlessly and warned, "Xin'ai is my wife; if she has difficulties, I will be the one to help. Others don't need to meddle!"

"But I only reached out to help as a friend; can you not even tolerate that?" Jiang Chenghao was displeased.

"A friend? Hah, I have never believed that ex-lovers can still be friends; that's just a lie! Since you've broken up, please stay out of each other's lives forever!"

"You are too overbearing!"

"This is also Xin'ai's choice; otherwise, why would she deliberately keep her distance from you?"

Qin Yiyan's words were very direct.

So direct that Jiang Chenghao could not hide his pain.

Qin Yiyan turned a blind eye to that pain.

He even lifted his chin slightly and commanded Jiang Chenghao, "From now on, please treat Xin'ai as a stranger."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan turned and left.

Leaving only Jiang Chenghao standing where he was.

He lowered his eyes, looking distraught.

In his heart, he was thinking, if he were in Qin Yiyan's position...

He definitely wouldn't do this!

Wouldn't it be good to have one more person silently caring for Liu Xin'ai?

Being this guarded was clearly... narrow-minded!

But regardless, as long as he could help Xin'ai solve the problem at hand...

Jiang Chenghao sighed deeply, then lifted his feet and walked forward.

As soon as he left, the person in the corner appeared slowly with a dark expression.

Bai Yufei had just been in the corner and heard the two men's conversation.

She knew when she investigated before that Liu Xin'ai had an ex-boyfriend.

Because the two had broken up very thoroughly, she felt this clue was of no use.

But looking at it now...

That man is still thinking about Liu Xin'ai in his heart!

Brother is also very bothered by the existence of her ex-boyfriend!

And this means...

She has a chance to meddle!!!

But what were they just talking about?

The medicine for Liu Xin'ai's father...

Bai Yufei does not understand the inside story.

But she feels that this matter must be related to Liu Xin'ai's father.

She needs to go to the Hospital to check!

Because she was anxious for an answer, Bai Yufei made up a random excuse, wanting to leave early.

Qin Yiyan thought Bai Yufei felt tired, so he said, "Let Lin Ze take you back."

Bai Yufei refused, saying, "I want to take a taxi back and get some fresh air while I'm at it."

"Wherever you want to go, Lin Ze can take you, and it's already very late; I'm not at ease with you going alone."

"It's fine, I will send you the taxi's license plate number."

Qin Yiyan still felt this arrangement was improper and wanted to object.

But just at this moment, an acquaintance came to exchange pleasantries with him.

Qin Yiyan turned around and responded politely.

But when he managed to pull himself away, he discovered...

Bai Yufei was already nowhere to be seen.

This girl is acting first and reporting later!

Qin Yiyan felt helpless, but could only call Bai Yufei to tell her to be careful on the road.

Bai Yufei agreed obediently.

As soon as she hung up the phone, her face was filled with a calculating expression.

The car drove to the Hospital, and Bai Yufei went to the nurse's station to ask about Liu Tengnian.

The nurse thought Bai Yufei was there to visit and said without even looking up, "Visiting hours are already over."

Bai Yufei hadn't intended to visit anyway.

However, she didn't explain, but instead pleaded, "I came here specially; please, could you make an exception!"

"Sorry, we have rules too."

"This... sigh, then I won't force it. But I want to know Liu Tengnian's current condition; can you tell me?"

There was even a tremor in Bai Yufei's voice.

The nurse couldn't help but look up.

She discovered that the young woman in front of her was dressed gorgeously, and her makeup was very exquisite.

At a glance, it was clear she had received news at some formal occasion and had come to the Hospital completely unprepared.

Coupled with the anxious look on Bai Yufei's face...

The nurse's heart softened, and she revealed some inside information: "The patient just took the medicine, and his condition isn't very stable, but fortunately, there is a doctor watching over him, so the situation is under control. You can rest easy."

Medicine...

Bai Yufei captured the important content and asked further, "What kind of medicine is that? It seems very powerful."

"Of course it's powerful. That medicine hasn't even been released yet. It's because Miss Liu has the ability to get it so quickly; otherwise, Mr. Liu would be in danger!"

No, Liu Xin'ai doesn't have that ability!

This medicine...

Was clearly obtained with the help of Qin Yiyan!

Qin Yiyan disappeared for a day because he went to help Liu Xin'ai's father find the medicine!!!

And the two of them didn't fight, nor were they in a cold war; Qin Yiyan has been from start to finish...

Using his own methods to protect Liu Xin'ai!!!

In this instant, Bai Yufei understood everything, but she was also jealous to death!

She even felt that she was just a clown.

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't change the result!

But...
