Chapter 1195: One Person Bearing It All

Qin Yiyan picked up Liu Xin'ai horizontally.

This made Liu Xin'ai turn pale with fright!

She opened her mouth and said, "Put me down!"

Qin Yiyan did not put her down; instead, he held her very tightly.

He even "kindly" reminded her: "You have an injury on your leg, so walking is inconvenient. Besides, you wouldn't want Mrs. Li to have to accommodate your speed while heavily pregnant, would you?"

Qin Yiyan appeared very considerate, as if he were thinking of others.

But Liu Xin'ai knew...

This so-called consideration was just his hypocritical mask!

Given Qin Yiyan's style of doing things, he would not allow others to question him.

Moreover, Liu Xin'ai was indeed having trouble moving, and arguing with him would not lead to any result.

So Liu Xin'ai simply held her body straight, trying her best to keep a distance from Qin Yiyan's chest.

But Qin Yiyan swayed on purpose while walking.

Several times, Liu Xin'ai felt as if she were about to fall!

Liu Xin'ai was not afraid of falling.

But the child in her belly could not be put at risk!

With no other choice, Liu Xin'ai had to lean closer to Qin Yiyan to maintain her balance.

As soon as she leaned in, Qin Yiyan's walking became steady.

This made Liu Xin'ai have to suspect...

Qin Yiyan had done it on purpose just now!

With this assumption popping into her mind, Liu Xin'ai tilted her head up and glared at Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan, however, had a calm expression, his footsteps steady and fast.

Because he walked fast, he arrived at the garden a step ahead of Jiang Baobao.

This also gave Qin Yiyan the opportunity to have a few words alone with Liu Xin'ai.

Or rather, a warning:

"Liu Xin'ai, don't fantasize about others coming to help you; even Jiang Baobao cannot!"

This warning made Liu Xin'ai sneer, and she immediately retorted: "How insecure are you? I'm just chatting with a friend, and you're this wary of it!?"

Qin Yiyan did not get angry because of Liu Xin'ai's mocking words.

He just said

expressionlessly: "This has nothing to do with confidence; it's that I know you well enough."

Since he said he knew her...

Then Liu Xin'ai spoke without any hesitation: "Qin Yiyan, I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you break my legs, you cannot stop my determination to leave!"

Liu Xin'ai's words provoked Qin Yiyan.

He couldn't help but tighten his grip!

And this action of his hurt Liu Xin'ai!

Liu Xin'ai did not want to yield in front of Qin Yiyan, so she tried her best to endure it, until...

Footsteps were heard behind them.

Qin Yiyan expressionlessly placed Liu Xin'ai on a bench and said to Jiang Baobao, who had arrived shortly after, "Chat slowly."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan left.

And because Jiang Baobao was heavily pregnant, she was a bit out of breath from walking.

She took a few breaths before calming down.

Liu Xin'ai patted the bench and said, "Sit down and take a rest."

Jiang Baobao stroked her belly and sat down cautiously.

Then she let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "After getting pregnant, it's so inconvenient to move around."

Although this was an unintentional remark from Jiang Baobao.

After hearing it, Liu Xin'ai felt very guilty, feeling that she shouldn't have dragged her pregnant friend into running around for her.

Jiang Baobao turned her head, just about to speak to Liu Xin'ai.

She noticed that Liu Xin'ai's brows were tightly furrowed.

Her face was also filled with a look of regret.

Jiang Baobao knew very well what this meant.

Immediately, she held Liu Xin'ai's hand and comforted her warmly: "The doctor also said that pregnant women should exercise appropriately. The scenery here is so beautiful, walking back and forth is good for me."

Liu Xin'ai knew this was a white lie from Jiang Baobao.

To avoid worrying her friend, she said nothing and just smiled.

Looking at Liu Xin'ai's

smile that carried a sense of brokenness, Jiang Baobao felt very heartbroken.

Having come here today, Jiang Baobao finally realized what kind of dire straits Liu Xin'ai was living in.

Letting a pregnant woman live in such an environment, there really could be no happiness to speak of.

Jiang Baobao could not bear for her good friend to endure this, so after some hesitation, she suggested: "Why don't you come and stay with me for a while!"

This was a good proposal, and the more Jiang Baobao thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

But Liu Xin'ai felt it was completely unreliable.

She even shook her head and commented: "How could that be proper!"

"Staying at a friend's house for a short while, what's the big deal? Could Qin Yiyan possibly object?"

"He would, and he could find plenty of excuses to trap me and not let me leave."

Liu Xin'ai knew the outcome, so she did not want her friend to waste too much time on this.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's firm attitude, Jiang Baobao had to change her reasoning: "Then what about going back to your brother's place?"

Liu Qingze... knows nothing.

Liu Xin'ai also did not want her brother to know about these troublesome matters.

After all, her brother had already suffered a lot to support the company, and Liu Xin'ai could not let him be distracted because of her own affairs.

Watching Liu Xin'ai fall silent, Jiang Baobao knew her choice.

This made Jiang Baobao sigh involuntarily: "You, you don't want to trouble this person, you don't want to trouble that person, and in the end, you bear all the hardship alone!"

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying: "Isn't that why I'm asking for your help?"

Although that was said, this help this time...

Was not Liu Xin'ai's original intention at all!

However, there was no point in dwelling on these things.

Jiang Baobao secretly told herself that she must help her friend escape the fiery pit!

Let the sparkle return to Liu Xin'ai's eyes!

But...

Making a decision is easy.

How to achieve the goal would require careful planning.

Jiang Baobao left the Qin Family.

On the way home, she kept her brows knitted in deep thought.

Because she was so absorbed in her thoughts, it was only when the driver reminded her that Jiang Baobao realized she had arrived home.

Rubbing her forehead, Jiang Baobao carefully stepped out of the car.

Before she even reached the living room, Jiang Baobao suddenly heard the children's happy laughter.

That laughter was incredibly healing.

After hearing it, Jiang Baobao felt as if all her worries had vanished.

The corners of her mouth also curled up gently.

The next second, Tiantian ran out holding a doll.

Tiantian's smile was soft and sweet; upon discovering Jiang Baobao, she held up the doll and shouted: "Mommy is back!"

"Yes, I am." Jiang Baobao stroked her daughter's smooth, tender cheeks, her expression satisfied.

She noticed the doll in her daughter's hand was one she hadn't seen before, so she asked Tiantian: "Where did this new toy come from?"

"I bought it."

The person speaking was Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected him to come; she was startled at first, then smiled: "What a coincidence, I was just looking for Uncle."

"Something up?"

"Yes."

Seeing that the adults had things to discuss, Tiantian said very sensibly: "You guys talk, I'm going to find my brothers."

After saying this, Tiantian hugged her favorite doll and skipped away.

The child was truly happy; even her back exuded ease and liveliness.

Watching that retreating figure, Jiang Baobao felt joyful herself.

However, the next second, after meeting Jiang Chenghao's gaze, Jiang Baobao revealed a look of hesitation.

Thinking that Jiang Baobao had something to say to him, Jiang Chenghao asked: "Is it inconvenient here?"

"Indeed, let's go to the study first."

Jiang Baobao led the way, and the two went to the study.

Once the study door was closed, Jiang Baobao looked at Jiang Chenghao with a grave expression.
