Chapter 1211: Can Never Go Back to the Past

Qin Yiyan was alluding to Liu Xin'ai.

But Bai Yufei felt guilty!

She could not help but swallow, thinking to herself that if Chi Rong really spoke about the two of them arguing, how she should remedy it...

Amidst her anxiety, Chi Rong said, "Leaving without saying goodbye was my own willfulness, but I was afraid you would be like this, and I wanted to be quiet by myself."

Qin Yiyan was puzzled: "But didn't you love family reunions before?"

"It's not that, I... sigh, when there is a chance, Mother will talk to you slowly."

Chi Rong turned her head and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with deep meaning: "Goodbye, Miss Xu."

She seemed to have something more to say.

Yet Xu Xiaoxiao understood what she meant.

Immediately, Xu Xiaoxiao patted her own chest.

Signaling that there were some secrets she would keep in her heart forever and would not tell anyone.

Chi Rong understood this hint and smiled with curved lips.

However...

Having broken through this layer of relationship, the two of them certainly could not chat as recklessly as before.

Thinking of this, Chi Rong sighed.

Afterward, she walked to the side of the street alone.

This time, Qin Yiyan did not force her, only having people follow his mother.

Having made the arrangements, Qin Yiyan felt Xu Xiaoxiao looking at him with an inquisitive expression.

He did not like that kind of gaze, frowned slightly, and preemptively asked: "Why do you know my mother?"

With Chi Rong not here, Qin Yiyan had no more reservations.

When speaking with Xu Xiaoxiao, his attitude was cold.

Xu Xiaoxiao also stopped hiding the mockery in her words and said: "I also didn't expect that you were that lady's troublesome son."

These words made Qin Yiyan immediately knit his brows, his gaze fierce.

That kind of gaze was very dangerous.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not want to go too far, so she shrugged and said simply: "After meeting by chance, we chatted happily, and we would chat together whenever we were free."

"

"Then you really didn't know she was my mother?"

Qin Yiyan's question was very sharp.

Yet Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer directly, instead playing tai chi with him: "You have suspicions in your heart, so no matter what I say, you won't believe it."

"Since that's the case, why should I waste my breath?"

After finishing, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to go home.

But Bai Yufei blocked Xu Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of her brother backing her up, Bai Yufei used his power to bully others: "No matter what your purpose is, stay away from my mother in the future!"

Xu Xiaoxiao did not take Bai Yufei's warning to heart at all; instead, she gave her a cold glance.

That gaze was full of provocation and disdain.

Given Bai Yufei's style, she would definitely scream in protest.

But the actual situation was...

Bai Yufei backed down!

She didn't want to back down either, but from Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze...

She saw intimidation!

Thinking again that she still had a handle held by the other party...

Bai Yufei could only back down in resentment.

Seeing that she was no longer pestering her, Xu Xiaoxiao sneered.

Afterward, she said hypocritically to Qin Yiyan: "It's getting late, so I won't invite the two of you upstairs for a short sit. Farewell."

Xu Xiaoxiao left after speaking.

But Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes.

This woman, Xu Xiaoxiao, had extraordinary methods.

Her contact with his mother...

The purpose was definitely not simple!

But no matter what Xu Xiaoxiao's purpose was, Qin Yiyan... would not give her the chance to stir up trouble!

For these two days, the sky had always been gloomy.

Not a trace of sunshine could be seen.

It made one's mood feel depressed and low.

Liu Xin'ai, however, had no time to feel low, because...

She spent most of her time sleeping every day.

Because she slept too much, Qin Yiyan even found a doctor for her.

Fortunately, after the examination, Liu Xin'ai was very healthy.

The fetus's condition was also very good.

Liu Xin'ai could not yet feel the child's presence; it was only after hearing the doctor's description that she felt a small life growing inside her belly.

That feeling was very wondrous.

But after meeting eyes with Qin Yiyan...

All the emotion vanished in an instant.

Qin Yiyan saw the change in Liu Xin'ai's expression.

He had originally wanted to offer a few words of concern.

But now?

He directly and coldly arranged: "Even if there's nothing to do, go for a walk in the garden."

Liu Xin'ai also responded expressionlessly: "I've walked so many laps, I'm already sick of it."

To be honest, keeping a pregnant woman locked at home, not allowed to go anywhere, is somewhat cruel.

But this was all Liu Xin'ai's own choice!

Qin Yiyan suppressed a trace of reluctance emerging from the bottom of his heart and said coldly:

"Every cause has an effect; this is all your own doing!"

"Mm, the path I chose, I accept, but could you please leave?"

How could Qin Yiyan quietly obey Liu Xin'ai's command?

Not only would he not listen, he would even mock her a few times.

However...

"I can arrange for you to meet with Xu Xiaoxiao."

Qin Yiyan suddenly changed the subject.

And his arrangement made Liu Xin'ai freeze.

The next second, she raised her head and stared fixedly at Qin Yiyan's eyes.

She seemed to want to confirm if this guy was telling the truth or just teasing her for fun.

Qin Yiyan saw Liu Xin'ai's suspicion and said: "I am serious."

"Then when can I see her?"

Liu Xin'ai really wanted to see her friend.

Being here every day, even with fine clothes and gourmet food, was no different from being in prison.

Both in spirit and body, she felt very empty.

But what Liu Xin'ai did not know was that the look in her eyes as she stared at Qin Yiyan had unconsciously shed its sharpness.

That urgency made Qin Yiyan's heart soften.

Very spineless.

But...

He simply could not control his own tone from also becoming soft: "It will be within these two days, and then, please ask Xu Xiaoxiao about one thing."

"What thing?"

"Why did my mother sleep in a separate room from my father after talking with her?"

This request...

Made Liu Xin'ai freeze once again.

She thought for a moment and asked: "Did Dad and Mom have a fight?"

"They did not; Father treats Mother the same as always, but Mother's mood has changed significantly. Father is very confused and cannot figure out what is going on at all."

Liu Xin'ai could not figure it out either.

But they were both bystanders; for this kind of matter, it was still necessary to ask Chi Rong.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai then said: "If you want to know the answer, it is better to ask Mom directly."

Mentioning this matter, Qin Yiyan could not help but frown: "I have asked, but Mom only said she wants to live according to her own ideas."

This answer...

Was somewhat willful.

And it was not like Chi Rong's style.

Now, Liu Xin'ai was even more confused.

She felt that something must have happened in between.

Just as Liu Xin'ai was silent, she heard Qin Yiyan say: "You might also know that before Mother left, she met with Xu Xiaoxiao and even went to her apartment."

When Qin Yiyan said this, he was still carefully watching Liu Xin'ai's reaction.

But Liu Xin'ai...

Revealed an expression of surprise.

Regarding the matter of those few people meeting that night, Xu Xiaoxiao thought Qin Yiyan would tell Liu Xin'ai.

And as for Qin Yiyan, he thought Xu Xiaoxiao would tell her.

As a result, neither of them mentioned what happened that day to Liu Xin'ai.
