Chapter 1183: Holding Her Leverage

Upon discovering that the person who arrived was not the one she had been longing to see, Bai Yufei's expression immediately darkened.

She even opened her mouth to snap, "What are you doing coming in here!?"

"I want to ask a favor of you."

"Hmph, then you should go find my brother. He is your husband; he would surely be happy to help you!"

When Bai Yufei said this, her words were full of mockery.

In her eyes, however, were unwillingness and jealousy.

Liu Xin'ai did not take offense.

She lowered her gaze, her tone indifferent: "But there is one thing that he must absolutely not know."

Bai Yufei seemed to understand something.

Her expression changed, and she stared fixedly at Liu Xin'ai!

Liu Xin'ai then said: "Tomorrow, Qin Yiyan will wake up very late. Don't let anyone disturb him; let him rest a while longer."

"And what about you?"

"I... am going to find a friend."

With that one sentence, Bai Yufei immediately understood what was going on!

This woman...

Was finally going to get lost!!

A gleam of excitement flashed in Bai Yufei's eyes!

She felt as though she had finally come through the bitterness to reach the sweetness!!

Liu Xin'ai's face remained calm as she said: "You need to help me stall Qin Yiyan and buy me some time."

"Rest assured, this time, I will definitely lend you a hand!"

Bai Yufei agreed very readily, and she was even willing to do so!

Liu Xin'ai was not surprised by her reaction.

After a pause, she added: "After this is done, don't go looking for trouble with others anymore, especially Xiao'an."

To this, Bai Yufei gave no promise, only saying with a look of disdain: "You're about to get lost, yet you're still worrying about others!"

"I don't want to worry either, but some people just don't give one peace of mind."

Liu Xin'ai's words had a deeper meaning.

Bai Yufei felt it too.

But she did not want to play guessing games, so she said: "If you have

something to say, just say it directly!"

"Fine, then let's speak directly! A while ago, someone leaked information about me, causing me deep distress. At that time, I thought that if I found the mastermind, I would definitely not let her off easily!"

Hearing this, Bai Yufei turned her head and muttered with some impatience: "Why tell me these things?"

"Because I have already found that person!"

Bai Yufei froze, then immediately stared over.

She discovered... that Liu Xin'ai was looking at her with a smile!

In fact, Liu Xin'ai had previously suspected that Bai Yufei was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, but unfortunately, she had no evidence.

But later, Liu Qingze found the evidence.

Liu Qingze was furious and wanted to make the evidence public!

And make those who slandered Liu Xin'ai pay the legal price!

But...

Liu Xin'ai suppressed the news.

And the reason she did so was not out of excessive kindness, but because she was preparing to negotiate with Bai Yufei!

Now, the time had come!

Bai Yufei had a guilty conscience; she lowered her head first, and her tone was no longer as aggressive as before: "Then go settle the score with that person; why are you being mysterious in front of me!"

"Bai Yufei, there are only the two of us here; are you still going to play dumb?"

"I, I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Then would you like me to play the recording of your conversation with that hacker for you to hear!?"

This time, Bai Yufei could no longer pretend to be calm.

She widened her eyes and muttered: "How could you have a recording..."

"Because that hacker is cautious in his work and always keeps a backup when collaborating with others. It just so happens that my younger brother is also a computer expert; he tracked the hacker's location and then stole the contents of his account."

Liu Xin'ai's tone was flat.

But Bai Yufei heard it and

cold sweat poured down!

She knew all too well what her fate would be if this evidence were leaked!

So...

She gave Liu Xin'ai a guarantee: "Don't worry, I will absolutely not touch Xiao'an! I will even give Xiao'an a promotion and let her be the housekeeper!"

"That won't be necessary; you only need to ignore Xiao'an. As for her future, I have plans for her."

"So, as long as I am obedient, you will keep this secret buried in your stomach?"

"Yes."

Upon receiving this promise, Bai Yufei's entire body relaxed.

But she still could not fully trust Liu Xin'ai.

Her eyes rolled, and she warned: "Then you must keep your word; if you dare to ruin me, I will fight you to the death and never let you off!"

Bai Yufei's gaze was fierce, and the usual docility and charm were gone from her delicate face.

Liu Xin'ai, however, remained calm.

She even advised: "Don't be agitated; everyone is about to start a new life soon, so be a little happier."

Yes, a new life is about to begin...

Yet this bitch still comes to stir up trouble!

And she even puts on an act to lecture her in return...

Truly shameless!!

Bai Yufei felt indignant inside.

But for the sake of the big picture, she could only use a blank expression to cover it up.

Liu Xin'ai gave a few more instructions and then left her bedroom.

Don't let Liu Xin'ai's calm surface fool you.

But in reality?

Her heart was more nervous than anyone else's.

After all...

If a single link went wrong, the entire plan would fail!

But things had reached this point, and Liu Xin'ai had to grit her teeth and persist.

Moreover, she also believed that she would wait for the day when things would turn around!

In the room, Qin Yiyan had just finished showering.

Seeing a glass of orange juice on the table, and feeling a bit thirsty himself, he quite naturally

picked it up.

Liu Xin'ai saw this scene!

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and protested to Qin Yiyan: "I brought that glass of orange juice; if you want to drink, go get one yourself!"

Hearing this, Qin Yiyan not only didn't stop his movements.

Instead, he tilted his head back and drank all the orange juice!

This action caused a flash of brilliance to cross Liu Xin'ai's eyes.

But to avoid being discovered, Liu Xin'ai feigned anger and said: "You are going a bit too far!"

Qin Yiyan drank the orange juice and felt refreshed.

Hearing Liu Xin'ai's complaint, he curled his lips and retorted: "How is drinking a glass of orange juice going too far?"

"Because I was the one who brought it."

"So, if I get you another glass, you'll feel balanced?"

Liu Xin'ai had already achieved her goal, so she didn't want to tangle with Qin Yiyan over the orange juice anymore.

So she withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and said: "No need."

"Better have one; I don't want to be stabbed in the back by someone over a glass of orange juice."

In the end, Qin Yiyan actually brought back a glass of orange juice.

But whether it was psychological or not, Liu Xin'ai took one sip and felt...

Why is this glass of orange juice bitter?

Could it be...

Did he put something in it too!?

The more Liu Xin'ai thought about it, the more wrong it felt, so she simply set the orange juice aside.

Qin Yiyan saw the change in Liu Xin'ai's expression, crossed his arms, and asked: "What kind of look is that? Why does it seem like I poisoned you?"

Liu Xin'ai indeed had that concern.

She looked up at Qin Yiyan and asked instead of answering: "Didn't you?"

"Of course not."

"Then drink some and show me."

Hearing this, Qin Yiyan's expression changed slightly.

He then confirmed with Liu Xin'ai: "The orange juice you just

drank, you want me to drink it?"

This...

Liu Xin'ai was just being cautious because she didn't want any slip-ups at a critical moment.

She hadn't expected Qin Yiyan's perspective on the problem to be so bizarre!
