Chapter 1189: Her Endless Patience for Her

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao'an.

She could tell that Xiao'an was truly blaming herself; her lowered face was full of chagrin.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but ask, "Why would I blame you?"

"It was all agreed that I would go help you take care of Miss Xu, but I ended up falling asleep! You even left the family car for me while you left in an unlicensed taxi, and then you encountered a car accident on the way... Sigh, if only I hadn't fallen asleep. We would have gone home together, and the family driver has experience; there wouldn't have been any danger at all!"

As Xiao'an spoke, she was on the verge of tears.

She wished that the injuries on Liu Xin'ai's body could all be transferred to her own!

Xiao'an's behavior made Liu Xin'ai feel ashamed.

But at the same time...

She gently furrowed her brows and asked a question: "This reason... did Qin Yiyan tell you this?"

"Yes, he did."

The expected answer made Liu Xin'ai press her lips together tightly.

Heh, Qin Yiyan... he is truly skilled at lying!

And he can even lead others around by the nose!

But does he never feel guilty himself?

Does he have a clear conscience even while exploiting others' trust and good intentions?

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming rapid.

Xiao'an wiped her eyes.

She looked up, just about to say something more, but discovered that Liu Xin'ai had her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

This made Xiao'an ask nervously: "Madam... are you angry with me?"

Liu Xin'ai shook her head.

After calming her emotions, she said: "I am not angry with you."

"Then is it that your wound hurts? You seem very uncomfortable."

The wound did indeed hurt.

But Liu Xin'ai's heart... hurt even more!

She lowered her eyes and said in a slow, strained tone: "I'm fine."

"

Xiao'an didn't believe that Liu Xin'ai was fine; she said somewhat nervously: "If you are uncomfortable, just tell me, and I will help you find a doctor."

"Find a doctor? A doctor... is not omnipotent either."

Besides, isn't Liu Xin'ai herself a doctor?

She can help others treat their illnesses and pains, yet she cannot resolve her own predicament.

She cannot even control her own pregnancy and childbirth!

It really is... ironic!!

Liu Xin'ai let out a cold laugh.

And her expression made Xiao'an discover a problem.

She asked cautiously: "Are you... unhappy?"

"Yes, very unhappy."

"Why is that?"

"Because I... was just a step away from obtaining the thing I have dreamed of."

Hope was right before her eyes, yet she could only watch it disappear; this feeling... is truly terrible!

But Xiao'an smiled and persuaded her: "Don't be anxious, there is plenty of time, you will surely get your wish. Besides, you are about to be a mother! We are all so happy!"

Xiao'an's comfort did not make Liu Xin'ai feel any better.

She looked straight at Xiao'an and asked: "Why are you all so happy?"

"Because you are the Madam, and you should bear a child with the Master!"

Xiao'an felt that both the Madam and the Master were excellent people, so in the future, their child would also be excellent.

Just thinking about such an outcome made people happy!

But Liu Xin'ai... was very unhappy!

She opened her mouth and snapped: "Wrong! All of this should never have happened in the first place!"

Liu Xin'ai's irritability left Xiao'an stunned.

She asked somewhat helplessly: "What shouldn't have happened?"

Naturally, everything between Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan!

But these words could not be explained to Xiao'an.

Liu Xin'ai was too lazy to think of another excuse, so she simply closed her lips and said nothing.

Xiao'an's eyes darted around, and she actually thought of an "answer."

She even took the initiative to comfort her: "Is the Madam blaming herself for getting injured? Don't worry, the injuries you sustained are only skin-deep and will heal very quickly; they won't have any impact on the Baobao in your belly."

Xiao'an and Liu Xin'ai were simply on two completely different tracks.

And the more she said, the worse Liu Xin'ai's mood became.

Finally, Liu Xin'ai furrowed her brows and requested: "Alright, let me rest for a while."

"... Alright."

Xiao'an still had many things to say, but because of Liu Xin'ai's request, she had no choice but to leave the room in silence.

Once she left, the area around Liu Xin'ai returned to silence.

But it was only quiet for a moment before someone else walked into the room.

Liu Xin'ai did not open her eyes, only frowning as she said, "Didn't I say to let me be quiet for a while?"

The other person did not respond.

They only picked up the porcelain bowl and then walked to Liu Xin'ai's side.

Liu Xin'ai felt something was not right, so she opened her eyes.

And when she looked...

Her gaze met with Qin Yiyan's!

At this moment, the person Liu Xin'ai least wanted to see was Qin Yiyan!

So she turned her head, pretending she had seen nothing.

Qin Yiyan did not mind her attitude and even said considerately, "This is a nourishing soup the kitchen specially brewed for you; drink it."

"I don't want to drink it!"

"Do you think you are drinking it for yourself? This is good for the child."

Mentioning the child...

Liu Xin'ai clenched her fists tightly!

Her eyes were filled with hatred!!

Qin Yiyan, however, remained calm and continued, "I didn't know you were pregnant before, so I didn't give you special care. It's different now; you are the most precious person in this house, and in terms of food and daily necessities, you must be given the best."

"

This arrangement, which felt like charity, made Liu Xin'ai explode, and she sat up and shouted, "I don't need it!"

"But the child needs it."

"So you don't just want to control me, you want to control the child too?!"

Considering that Liu Xin'ai was currently pregnant, Qin Yiyan did not want to lower himself to her level.

Therefore, after entering the room, he had been exercising all kinds of patience.

But this woman... was simply like a hedgehog!

Qin Yiyan could no longer endure it at this moment and began to speak sharply: "Liu Xin'ai, can you tell right from wrong! This is clearly concern for you and the child!"

Liu Xin'ai did not accept it at all.

She retorted unceremoniously: "Your concern is superfluous! And shallow! What a pregnant woman truly needs is a good mood!"

Qin Yiyan knew what to do to make Liu Xin'ai feel better.

But... she could keep dreaming!

Qin Yiyan sneered and said, "If you are in a bad mood, you brought it on yourself! No one owes you anything! On the contrary, it is you who have not fulfilled the duties a wife should! Now, you cannot even shoulder the responsibilities of a mother!"

Liu Xin'ai did not want to listen to Qin Yiyan's evaluation.

Pointing toward the door, she ordered, "Get out!"

"Drink the soup, and I will go out."

Liu Xin'ai picked up the porcelain bowl without hesitation and drank it all like she was gulping down water.

Then, with red eyes, she asked provocatively, "Is that enough now!"

Qin Yiyan should have kept his word and left the room right then.

But the more he thought about it, the more furious he became!

Standing before the door, Qin Yiyan suddenly turned around and accused Liu Xin'ai: "Liu Xin'ai, you are truly ungrateful!"

Based on what Liu Xin'ai had done, it would not be excessive no matter how Qin Yiyan dealt with her!

Yet now, not only did he not punish her, he was even taking good care of her...

And the result was this attitude?

Facing Qin Yiyan's accusation, Liu Xin'ai let out a cold laugh.
