Chapter 1148: She Wants to Be the Only One in His Eyes

Upon hearing this, the relaxed expression on Bai Yufei's face vanished instantly!

She was silent for a moment before tentatively asking, "What did... Miss Xu say to you?"

"Nothing much, just that she had a very pleasant chat with you and would like to find time to discuss things with you in depth."

Discuss things? That woman was clearly warning her!

Bai Yufei felt indignant inside.

Yet, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Liu Xin'ai staring at her with a face full of suspicion.

This made Bai Yufei immediately suppress her excess emotions and change her attitude: "Sister-in-law, you must be tired after coming back so late, so go back to your room and rest early."

After saying this, Bai Yufei let go of Liu Xin'ai.

Then she directed the servants to send the things in the living room back to her own room.

Liu Xin'ai was truly tired; once she gained her freedom, she lifted her feet to walk up the stairs.

As for Bai Yufei...

She stood where she was, staring coldly at Liu Xin'ai's back.

That woman... she shouldn't know the content of her conversation with Xu Xiaoxiao, right?

If she knew, how could her expression be so calm?

If she didn't know...

Then it meant Xu Xiaoxiao didn't intend to blow things out of proportion.

This gave Bai Yufei a chance to breathe, but Xu Xiaoxiao's existence was like a sharp sword hanging over her head!

This feeling... was not pleasant.

It also made Bai Yufei clench her fists, with terrible thoughts brewing in her heart!

Liu Xin'ai, walking slowly up the stairs, also had her own considerations.

She hadn't expected that the method Xu Xiaoxiao gave her would actually be so effective!

But why?

What secret did Xu Xiaoxiao and Bai Yufei have?

Suspicion arose in Liu Xin'ai's heart.

She prepared to find Xu Xiaoxiao to ask her properly once she was busy with this period.

With these thoughts on her mind, Liu Xin'ai pushed the door open and returned to her room.

Qin Yiyan was not asleep in the room; hearing the door open, he lifted his eyes to look over.

Seeing it was Liu Xin'ai who had returned, he asked, "Did you eat dinner?"

"Yes, Xiao'an brought it over; I've already eaten."

Qin Yiyan was worried that Liu Xin'ai wouldn't eat properly, so he had Xiao'an bring her meals.

And incidentally, supervise her to make sure she ate every meal well.

Xiao'an did not cut her any slack and earnestly carried out the task Qin Yiyan had given her.

It was also because of Xiao'an's presence that Liu Xin'ai's three meals a day were now actually more punctual than before.

Liu Xin'ai yawned, put down her bag, and went to take a shower first.

She thought that by the time she finished her shower, Qin Yiyan would surely have fallen asleep.

Just like the past few days.

But today he hadn't; Qin Yiyan was waiting for Liu Xin'ai.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai come out of the bathroom, he even gave her a very exquisite gift box.

"This is..."

Qin Yiyan said nonchalantly, "I saw this hair clip at the mall and thought it was quite nice, so I bought it for you."

A hair clip?

Liu Xin'ai opened the box.

Sure enough, she saw a crystal hair clip inside.

The color of the hair clip was pale blue, and the style was simple—the kind of style Liu Xin'ai would like.

It was just that... why did he buy this for her?

Liu Xin'ai muttered to herself.

But because she was truly exhausted, she didn't ask any more questions, said "Thank you," and placed the hair clip into the drawer of the vanity.

Afterward, she burrowed into the quilt and yawned again.

Qin Yiyan had originally wanted to wait for Liu Xin'ai to take the initiative and ask about the hair clip.

But looking at Liu Xin'ai like this...

She wouldn't ask at all!

With no other choice, Qin Yiyan had to take the initiative and say, "For this hair clip, I owe it to someone helping me pick it out, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy a good one."

"Mm, you're very thoughtful."

"Then aren't you curious about who helped me pick it out?"

"Wasn't it Fei'er?"

Liu Xin'ai answered correctly.

And this correct answer made Qin Yiyan pause, and he asked, "How did you know?"

"I ran into Fei'er downstairs just now when I got back; she said she went shopping with you."

So that was it...

That girl was certainly quick to act.

Qin Yiyan had originally wanted to see if Liu Xin'ai would get jealous.

However...

Even without Fei'er tipping her off, this woman probably wouldn't get jealous anyway.

He didn't know if this woman was just like that by nature, or if she was only like that toward him.

Qin Yiyan even wanted to go find Jiang Chenghao and ask him...

The moment this thought popped up, he felt like he had gone crazy!

Qin Yiyan didn't want to keep letting his imagination run wild, so he took the initiative to change the subject and chatted with Liu Xin'ai: "By the way, how is the progress at the Laboratory?"

"Not bad."

"Then you..."

Qin Yiyan wanted to ask a couple more questions, but when he turned his head, he discovered...

Liu Xin'ai had already fallen asleep.

Looking at her tightly closed eyes, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but lean in closer.

This woman could always push herself until she was like a coiled spring.

Even when exhausted to the extreme, she simply didn't know how to ask others for help.

She was so stubborn it made one's heart...

Just as a word was about to surface from the bottom of his heart, Qin Yiyan turned his body away, closed his eyes, and went to sleep!

After the dressing-down from that day, Bai Yufei, who had wanted to bring trouble to Liu Xin'ai, had settled down once again.

But her settling down was only on the surface.

In reality?

She had aimed her spearhead at Xu Xiaoxiao.

She planned to investigate and see if that woman had any dirt on her.

As long as she found some dirt...

She wouldn't have to be threatened by that bitch anymore!

Moreover, there were not that many scruples in investigating Xu Xiaoxiao.

After all, she was not Liu Xin'ai; she didn't have Qin Yiyan's protection behind her.

However, the moment she thought of Qin Yiyan's protection of Liu Xin'ai...

Bai Yufei felt a wave of stifling frustration!

And it just so happened that there wasn't just one or two things that had caused this frustration over the past two days!

Just like at this moment, Qin Yiyan and Bai Yufei were returning to the company after dining out.

Seeing that Qin Yiyan had no intention of getting out of the car, Bai Yufei asked: "Brother, aren't you going back to the company?"

"Not going back yet, I want to deliver some snacks to your sister-in-law."

Deliver snacks?

Bai Yufei looked at the bag in Qin Yiyan's hand; she had originally thought it was bought specifically for her...

Noticing the change in Bai Yufei's expression, Qin Yiyan hurriedly said: "I prepared two portions, your portion is with Lin Ze."

What Bai Yufei cared about was not these snacks at all!

She wanted to be the only one in Qin Yiyan's eyes!

Closing her eyes for a moment, Bai Yufei put on a coquettish tone and said: "Then you can just let Xiao'an come and get them."

"It's lunch break anyway, just treat it as a joyride."

"Then I want to go for a joyride too!"

After saying this, Bai Yufei sat securely by Qin Yiyan's side, looking as if she had no intention of getting out of the car.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan could only helplessly let Lin Ze drive.

At the same time, under Xiao'an's watchful gaze, Liu Xin'ai had just finished her lunch.

Xiao'an was very satisfied with Liu Xin'ai's performance and said with a smile: "What would you like to eat tomorrow?"

"Anything is fine."

Anyway, it was all just being stuffed into her stomach.

Xiao'an didn't notice Liu Xin'ai's urge to sigh and said excitedly: "Since you've just finished eating, why don't you and Miss Xu go for a stroll?"

"Xiao Xiao is busy with school lately and doesn't have time to come out at noon."

"Then..."

"I'll go for a walk by myself."

As she said this, Liu Xin'ai walked down the stairs, preparing to take a walk.

However, the moment she reached the main entrance, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

That is...

Jiang Chenghao!!!
