Chapter 1173: It's Time to Start a New Life

But Jiang Baobao had a different way of thinking.

She said, "Children who like to snatch toys are all very overbearing; when facing someone they like, they naturally want to monopolize all of their affection as well."

This kind of overbearing nature, if kept within a certain range, can still be considered a bit of romantic play between a husband and wife.

But if it exceeds that range...

It becomes a bit terrifying.

Jiang Baobao slowly turned her expression serious.

Then she asked, "In your opinion, is the reason Qin Yiyan makes such excessive demands because he minds the past between you and Xin'ai, or is this just his natural disposition?"

"This... I haven't had much contact with him, so it's hard to be certain."

Although Jiang Chenghao had his opinions about Qin Yiyan.

He would not jump to conclusions just because of personal feelings.

This was a point that Jiang Baobao admired about him.

However...

Could Qin Yiyan's overbearing nature have anything to do with that faint, lingering sadness of Liu Xin'ai?

Jiang Baobao rested her chin on her hand, revealing a thoughtful look.

But overthinking was not good for a pregnant woman.

So Jiang Chenghao took the initiative to change the subject: "Your body is getting heavier, isn't it?"

"Yes, my back aches and my legs are swollen. Fortunately, Beijue helps me massage them every day, and the little ones at home tell me stories and feed me fruit whenever they have time."

Mentioning her own life, Jiang Baobao smiled with a face full of happiness.

Her happiness brought Jiang Chenghao great comfort.

A curve appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he sighed, "It's been a long time since I've seen those little ones."

"Then come back with me in a while; as it happens, they were just saying last time that they missed you."

"That works too."

Jiang Chenghao looked at Jiang Baobao with a smile, then...

"You've become rounder lately; it seems your nutritional intake is quite good. If you continue to take the nourishing supplements I sent you on time, I guarantee you'll be able to give birth to a healthy baby."

Jiang Chenghao meant well.

But his choice of words...

Jiang Baobao was a little bothered and specifically corrected him: "This is edema!"

"Swollen? It seems more like you've gained weight."

Jiang Baobao felt depressed.

She thought to herself that her little uncle was truly blunt.

In this situation, wouldn't it be easy to just change his tune?

Because she was a little dissatisfied, Jiang Baobao complained, "Did you use this method to compliment Xin'ai in the past? This kind of straight-man thinking will make a girlfriend cry from anger."

After saying this, Jiang Baobao realized...

She had said something she shouldn't have!

This made her feel annoyed, and she wanted to remedy it.

But when she turned her head, she discovered...

Jiang Chenghao did not feel uncomfortable.

Instead, he thought of something.

And those memories seemed very precious, even making a faint smile appear at the corners of his mouth.

That satisfied look... made Jiang Baobao feel heartbroken for him.

She felt as if her little uncle was trapped in his memories and didn't want to come out.

But...

No matter how beautiful the past is, it is still empty!

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but advise: "You should also start a new life."

"

Jiang Chenghao instantly regained his composure.

Then he said as if nothing were the matter: "Isn't my life now a brand-new one? The company has already gotten on the right track, and it's even better than before."

"You have indeed achieved success in your career, but what about your personal life? If you have completely let go of Xin'ai, then you should also consider starting a new relationship."

"

Jiang Chenghao's lips moved, and he said, "I can't do it."

"What you can't do—is it giving up on Xin'ai, or starting a new relationship?"

This time, Jiang Chenghao hesitated for a moment before saying, "The latter, of course; talking about feelings is too exhausting."

"Then you can't stay single forever, can you?"

"When the time comes, or when I meet the right person, I'll naturally want to talk about it."

Jiang Chenghao's answer was very perfunctory.

However, when it comes to matters of the heart, others cannot force a result.

Jiang Baobao only hoped that with time, it would smooth over all the misgivings in the bottom of his heart.

Ever since Bai Yufei helped Liu Xin'ai obtain the stamped letter of commitment, she had been restless and uneasy.

Because she was worried that the truth would come to light.

However, when Qin Yiyan returned from his business trip, he did not discover anything unusual.

His attitude toward Bai Yufei remained as kind and doting as always.

This made Bai Yufei relax a little.

But the lack of progress regarding Liu Xin'ai made her feel dissatisfied again.

Watching this woman come and go from the Qin Family home as usual, and seeing the servants in the house respectfully address her as Madam...

Bai Yufei could sit still even less!

Taking advantage of the fact that Qin Yiyan was not at home, she went to Liu Xin'ai's room and demanded, "When exactly are you going to divorce my brother!?"

"I want to be quick too, but there are still subsequent procedures to go through."

"Then how long will that take?"

"At the fastest, it will take half a year."

"That long!?" Bai Yufei immediately widened her eyes, feeling like she wanted to explode!

But before she could open her mouth to make things difficult, a voice came from the doorway: "What's taking so long?"

Hearing this magnetic voice, Bai Yufei immediately became well-behaved.

And in the time it took to turn around, she put a smile on her face: "I was asking my sister-in-law about weight loss methods. I want to be quick, but sister-in-law said that losing weight too fast is bad for the body."

The speed at which Bai Yufei changed her face left Liu Xin'ai amazed.

And the reason she gave made Qin Yiyan somewhat surprised.

Qin Yiyan knew that Bai Yufei had many grievances against Liu Xin'ai.

So now that the two of them could chat calmly, did it mean that they could get along harmoniously?

This assumption put Qin Yiyan in a good mood.

He even said: "Your sister-in-law is quite right; health is more important than beauty.

Besides, you aren't fat, you don't need to lose weight."

Being praised by Qin Yiyan, Bai Yufei was secretly pleased.

After glancing at Liu Xin'ai, Bai Yufei asked again: "Then compared to sister-in-law, whose figure is better?"

Qin Yiyan knew very well what kind of figure Liu Xin'ai had.

And Bai Yufei...

He had never looked into it, so there was no basis for comparison.

But in order to coax his sister into being happy, Qin Yiyan said: "Naturally, yours."

This answer made a look of triumph immediately appear on Bai Yufei's face.

When she glanced at Liu Xin'ai, her eyes even carried a sense of showing off.

But Liu Xin'ai had no reaction.

She only felt that these two siblings... were both very childish.

However, just as Bai Yufei was preparing to have Qin Yiyan praise her a few more times, Qin Yiyan shifted his attention to Liu Xin'ai.

He even said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Haven't you been eating quite well lately? Why haven't you gained any weight?"

Every day, looking at her thin and weak appearance, Qin Yiyan felt annoyed.

It was as if their Qin Family had abused her!

To this, Liu Xin'ai explained in a flat tone: "Absorption issues."

"Then you should regulate it yourself."

"It's innate, there's no way to regulate it."

Liu Xin'ai's tone of voice was very easy to make one feel pent-up with anger.

Qin Yiyan became a little angry.

But thinking of something, he asked: "How is your appetite lately?"

With Qin Yiyan by her side, how could Liu Xin'ai have any good appetite?

Every day when she ate, she just forced it down.

Facing Qin Yiyan's question, Liu Xin'ai responded perfunctorily: "Just average."

"That means your appetite is bad... You are a doctor, you should know how to check yourself... to see if there is any good situation."
