Chapter 1174: Qin Yiyan's Hint

Liu Xin'ai knew what Qin Yiyan was hinting at.

But...

It would be a miracle if things went well!

Liu Xin'ai had, after all, taken contraceptive pills!!

This secret kept Liu Xin'ai from feeling flustered deep down.

She remained entirely calm and quiet.

Qin Yiyan, meanwhile, looked at Liu Xin'ai in silence.

He was not angered by Liu Xin'ai's quietness; on the contrary, he thought...

This woman was being shy!

Bai Yufei was unwilling to let Qin Yiyan keep looking at Liu Xin'ai, so she shook Qin Yiyan's arm and asked coquettishly, "Brother, weren't you supposed to have dinner with Chairman Zhang today? Why are you back so suddenly?"

"Chairman Zhang suddenly felt unwell, so the dinner was canceled. Also, I have something to tell your sister-in-law."

Qin Yiyan let his gaze linger on Bai Yufei for only a moment before turning his head to say to Liu Xin'ai, "An authoritative medical magazine wants to interview you. I have already accepted on your behalf, and the interview will take place at home."

Upon hearing this decision, Liu Xin'ai slowly raised her head.

There was no look of excitement on her face; what was there was only dissatisfaction:

"Why didn't you ask for my opinion on something like this?"

"Because this is a good thing, and you would certainly agree."

"But I happen to dislike doing interviews!"

Qin Yiyan frowned slightly and said, "Don't say things like that just to spite me. Doing this interview is good for your future development, and it can also expand the influence of the Special Effect Medicine!"

In Qin Yiyan's view, this interview was practically flawless.

But he... had overlooked Liu Xin'ai's personality.

She would rather submit reports and write papers than sit there, answering one question after another!

Bai Yufei was left out in the cold once again.

She stared at Liu Xin'ai with a face full of jealousy and clenched her fists.

She even said sourly, "Sister-in-law, stop being so pretentious. This is the kind of good opportunity that's hard to find even with a lantern; my brother must have put in a lot of effort to find it for you!"

Although Qin Yiyan minded Liu Xin'ai's attitude.

Bai Yufei had guessed wrong.

Qin Yiyan denied it, saying, "That's actually not the case; the other party approached me on their own initiative."

"Then why didn't they call Sister-in-law directly?"

"I tried contacting Xin'ai, but for some reason, she didn't pick up."

"

Liu Xin'ai frowned, then took out her phone.

After pressing it twice, Liu Xin'ai muttered, "It's out of battery and shut down automatically."

At this result, Bai Yufei rolled her eyes.

She suspected in her heart that this woman had done it on purpose!

Qin Yiyan then said, "Anyway, the interview is already set, so get some rest early and do the interview tomorrow morning. By the way, I also ordered new clothes for you, and a stylist will come tomorrow."

Qin Yiyan's arrangements made Bai Yufei jealous to death!

Liu Xin'ai, however, did not want to enjoy such care and frowned as she asked, "I'm not a celebrity, why go to all that trouble?"

"Because there will be people taking photos of you and interviewing you on-site; you need to look sharp."

Qin Yiyan meant well.

He felt that all women wanted their most beautiful side to be seen by others.

But Bai Yufei, on the side, secretly twisted his meaning: "Brother, are you saying you find Sister-in-law's appearance ordinary? Sister-in-law must be hurt by that."

Bai Yufei was waiting to see Liu Xin'ai make a fool of herself.

Qin Yiyan had intended to refute Bai Yufei.

But...

When he looked at Liu Xin'ai, he found that the woman looked completely indifferent.

It was as if she didn't care at all what Qin Yiyan thought of her!

This discovery made Qin Yiyan's expression darken.

He simply said, "If the conditions are average, one naturally has to rely on external efforts."

"

These words made Bai Yufei look triumphant.

She even said to Liu Xin'ai with malicious intent, "Then Sister-in-law, you must perform well tomorrow; don't let my brother's good intentions go to waste!"

Liu Xin'ai did not think this pair of siblings could have any good intentions.

Furthermore...

She had absolutely no anticipation for the interview!

The next day—the clothes Qin Yiyan ordered were delivered early.

The clothes were worth a significant amount.

But they were just simple loungewear.

Soft and high-quality.

The stylist did not design an exaggerated look for Liu Xin'ai either.

They only pinned up her hair, applied light makeup, and added elegant jewelry.

There was no particular change in her overall appearance.

But it made people feel very comfortable and pleasing to the eye just by looking at her.

Furthermore, it complemented her temperament perfectly.

When Qin Yiyan saw Liu Xin'ai after she was dressed, he stared fixedly for a few seconds.

Only then did he look away.

Bai Yufei could also sense the change in Liu Xin'ai.

But she did not want to admit it, and instead found fault, saying: "Brother, the people you hired aren't very good either; Sister-in-law hasn't changed much, she's not dazzling at all!"

"The interview is being conducted at home; who do you see wearing heavy makeup and evening gowns at home?"

"Th-that's still too understated!"

"Your sister-in-law is a medical professional, and this fits the nature of her work. Besides, people's focus on her is on her knowledge and eloquence; her appearance is a bonus, not a requirement."

If Liu Xin'ai were to hear these words from Qin Yiyan...

She would definitely have a slightly better impression of Qin Yiyan.

But when facing Liu Xin'ai, Qin Yiyan would likely never express such a calm and composed assessment.

After the interview began, everything proceeded very smoothly.

The atmosphere was also harmonious.

But after chatting for a while, Liu Xin'ai's eyes turned a bit red.

It turned out... they had reached the topic of the origin of developing the Special Effect Medicine.

Liu Xin'ai clenched her hands tightly, lowered her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "Sorry, I would like to calm down for a moment."

"Very well, Mrs. Qin, please accept my condolences."

As the reporter spoke, they proactively handed a tissue to Liu Xin'ai.

However, Liu Xin'ai smiled and refused, because she felt she could hold back her tears.

Yet the moment she smiled, tears welled up and spilled out!

This made Liu Xin'ai feel a bit embarrassed; she turned her head, wanting to avoid the reporter's gaze.

Just as Liu Xin'ai turned, someone hugged her.

That person's embrace was broad and warm.

It even helped her block the embarrassing stares.

But Liu Xin'ai... felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

Simply because the person holding her was Qin Yiyan!

The staff recorded this scene.

And then they remarked with emotion: "Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are truly a deeply affectionate couple; it's enviable!"

Enviable?

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai only wanted to sneer!

She thought to herself that there was no deep affection between her and Qin Yiyan at all!

All there was, was mutual harm!

Moreover, the man beside her was just a cat crying over a dead mouse.

If he truly felt remorse, he should go to Liu Tengnian's grave to apologize!

Instead of being stubborn even now, believing that the matter had nothing to do with him!!

Liu Xin'ai kept her head lowered, enduring her anger.

Upstairs, Bai Yufei was likewise enduring with all her might!

She had seen that scene just now.

Anger made her want to rush down and pull those two apart!

But her remaining reason made her turn around and walk quickly back to her room.

Once the room door was closed, she picked up a doll and smashed it fiercely.

In her eyes, what was being smashed at this moment was no longer a doll.

But rather...

Liu Xin'ai, who had snatched her position!!

It was not until the interview ended that Bai Yufei walked out of the room with a gloomy expression.
