Chapter 1147: What Do You Have to Be So Arrogant About?

Noticing that Bai Yufei's state was not right, Qin Yiyan walked around to her front and, without a word, lifted Bai Yufei's face.

Then...

He discovered her tear tracks were covering her cheeks.

Qin Yiyan was startled and hurriedly asked, "Fei'er, why are you crying?"

"Because... Brother's eyes only have Sister-in-law in them; you don't even think about whether I might feel wronged!"

Bai Yufei rubbed her eyes twice, and they turned bright red.

Her accusation left Qin Yiyan a bit confused: "Who has wronged you?"

"My classmates also have sisters-in-law, and the two of them are just like real sisters, going shopping together, eating together, and exchanging clothes and jewelry. But what about my sister-in-law? The number of times we've spoken can be counted on one hand!"

"What is there to compare? The situations are different."

"But I can feel whether Sister-in-law puts any heart into me! Don't use personality or being busy as excuses anymore; Sister-in-law just doesn't like me!"

The more Bai Yufei spoke, the more wronged she felt, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Seeing his younger sister like this, Qin Yiyan felt very pained.

Moreover, Qin Yiyan was very clear about what kind of personality Liu Xin'ai had.

As a husband, he would tolerate his wife's imperfections.

But Bai Yufei...

Might not be able to endure them.

Qin Yiyan was silent for a moment, then offered a suggestion: "If you aren't happy, you should go home and live for a while first."

He had meant well.

But Bai Yufei looked up in disbelief: "Brother, are you going to drive me away for the sake of Sister-in-law?!"

"How could that be? I just don't want to watch you be unhappy."

"Isn't it simple to make me happy? The things Sister-in-law can't accompany me to do, you come and do them with me, and then I'll be happy!"

The request Bai Yufei made gave Qin Yiyan an ominous premonition.

"What do you want me to accompany you to do?"

"Just shopping, eating, and buying cosmetics!"

Hearing these requests, Qin Yiyan felt a headache coming on.

He took a deep breath and was about to refuse.

But Bai Yufei saw through Qin Yiyan's thoughts and spoke first: "You must have done these things with Sister-in-law before, so you should be quite familiar with them, right?"

"We..."

Qin Yiyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "We occasionally go shopping, but my taste is average; I might not be able to offer you any suggestions."

What Bai Yufei cared about was not suggestions at all!

She took Qin Yiyan's arm and broke into a smile through her tears: "As long as you can accompany me, I'll be very happy!"

Bai Yufei was truly happy.

Qin Yiyan could tell from the look in her eyes.

But...

Shopping...

Qin Yiyan really wanted to sigh.

But in the end, Qin Yiyan still made time to satisfy Bai Yufei.

Bai Yufei also returned home with a full haul.

She piled all the big and small bags in the living room, saying she would take them back to her room in a little while.

It was just that the "little while" she spoke of...

Seemed a bit long.

By the time Liu Xin'ai returned home, those things were still there.

Liu Xin'ai had been tired all day and felt dizzy and lightheaded.

She couldn't muster any interest in other matters, so she glanced at the things in the living room and prepared to head straight to her room.

But Bai Yufei stood up from the sofa.

She had waited all evening just for this moment!

Bai Yufei called out to stop Liu Xin'ai.

Proud as a peacock, she walked in front of her at a leisurely pace and looked the woman opposite her up and down:

Because Liu Xin'ai was busy with experiments, she didn't dress up or wear makeup.

Her clothes were just casually thrown on, with no sense of coordination.

But even so...

She still didn't look decadent.

Instead, the resilience in her brows and eyes only added to her charm!

This charm made Bai Yufei feel jealous!

Because of her jealousy, the words she spoke were also very aggressive: "I know Sister-in-law is busy, but you should still take time to dress yourself up. Look at how you are now; going out with my brother is simply a disgrace to him!"

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to argue and said in a flat tone, "Our affairs are no concern of yours."

Having said that, she started to go upstairs.

But Bai Yufei walked around to her front again and said in a condescending tone, "If you weren't my sister-in-law, I wouldn't even bother to care. But don't say I don't care about you; here, these skincare products are a gift for you."

As she spoke, Bai Yufei took a bag from the pile and handed it to Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai did not take it, only saying, "Thank you, but I don't need them."

"

"It's just skincare products, why must you refuse? Or... is it because you know these things were bought while my brother accompanied me, and you feel uncomfortable inside?"

"

The tone of Bai Yufei's speech carried a sense of showing off.

The look in her eyes as she watched Liu Xin'ai was also full of provocation.

But the flustered anger she expected did not appear on Liu Xin'ai's face.

Liu Xin'ai remained very calm, her tone indifferent: "I don't feel uncomfortable; as long as you are happy, that is fine."

Her words made Bai Yufei roll her eyes.

She then crossed her arms, her tone mocking: "There are only the two of us here, why must you still be stubborn? I don't believe you have no thoughts at all in your heart!"

"If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do."

Liu Xin'ai wanted to end this meaningless conversation and was about to walk around Bai Yufei.

But this time, Bai Yufei simply grabbed Liu Xin'ai's arm, making it impossible for her to leave!

Liu Xin'ai frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Bai Yufei lifted her chin, her tone proud: "My brother cares about me the most; as soon as he heard I was in a bad mood, he specifically accompanied me to go shopping to coax me and make me happy!"

"And then?"

"Don't think that just because my brother does a few things for you, you can be complacent. In reality, you are not that important in my brother's heart at all!"

Bai Yufei could not stand Qin Yiyan revolving around Liu Xin'ai.

In order to balance her own feelings, she had gone to great lengths to pester Qin Yiyan into going shopping with her.

Now she was satisfied.

Yet she did not forget to strike a blow at Liu Xin'ai, to make her find her own place!

But what Bai Yufei did not know was that Liu Xin'ai did not need her warnings at all.

She was already very clear about her own situation.

Moreover...

She would not harbor fantasies, and she could analyze this marriage more calmly than anyone else.

However, she did not need to explain any of this to Bai Yufei.

Liu Xin'ai met Bai Yufei's gaze, her tone calm: "How your brother evaluates me is his freedom; it is not something you and I can discuss."

Because Liu Xin'ai wanted to go back and rest quickly, her tone was somewhat blunt.

Bai Yufei seized on this point, frowning in dissatisfaction: "What kind of attitude is that? I am kindly warning you, yet you are impatient?"

"I am not impatient..."

"You are! Liu Xin'ai, what do you have to be arrogant about!"

Liu Xin'ai: "..."

The situation was now very clear; Bai Yufei was just looking for trouble.

Perhaps she still wanted to provoke Liu Xin'ai to make the situation uncontrollable, so as to satisfy her strange and peculiar goals.

Liu Xin'ai did not want to let Bai Yufei get her way.

But her arm was still being dragged by Bai Yufei...

Just as Liu Xin'ai was thinking about how to get away, she suddenly remembered one thing:

Xu Xiaoxiao had instructed Liu Xin'ai that if Bai Yufei dared to make things difficult for her, she only needed to ask her one question.

As for that question—Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes, looked into Bai Yufei's eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked: "Last time in the garden, what did you and Xiao Xiao talk about?"
