Chapter 1218: Unsure of His Intentions

Liu Xin'ai rejected Xiao'an's suggestion.

She said, "No need, I'd rather sleep for a while."

Ah, sleeping again?

Xiao'an hoped Liu Xin'ai would move around more, so she leaned over slightly and negotiated, "The doctor urged you to walk around more. How about we stroll for a lap and then you can sleep when we get back?"

"No, I might run into Bai Yufei if I go outside."

Bai Yufei had also been at home lately, under the high-sounding excuse of taking care of Liu Xin'ai.

But she only "took care" of her in front of Qin Yiyan.

Other times? She would only roll her eyes at Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai didn't need Bai Yufei's care either; she just wanted to avoid meeting the two of them to keep things from being unpleasant for both sides.

Besides, rather than wasting energy dealing with people, it was better to sleep peacefully.

Closing her eyes, all her worries really did disappear.

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai lay on the sofa, preparing to take a nap.

Worried that Liu Xin'ai might catch a cold, Xiao'an hurriedly found a blanket and carefully covered her with it.

Afterward, she left quietly and helplessly.

With no one to disturb her, Liu Xin'ai slept soundly once again.

And whatever happened at home, Qin Yiyan, far away at the company, knew it all.

Naturally, he also knew that after waking up, Liu Xin'ai still refused to eat her vegetables.

She had also turned a deaf ear to the servants' exhortations.

However, this time, Qin Yiyan did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Only after returning home did he have the servants specifically prepare two vegetable dishes.

Then, he pushed the door open and walked back into the bedroom.

Liu Xin'ai was in the room, reading a book.

Discovering that Qin Yiyan had walked in, she raised her eyes to look at him, then her gaze continued to fall upon the dense pages of the book.

Qin Yiyan did not mind this woman's indifferent attitude.

Instead, he asked in a relaxed tone, "Remember that you still want to meet with Xu Xiaoxiao?"

This sentence made Liu Xin'ai close her book immediately.

She sat up straight, her eyes still guarded: "That's right, and you also said you would arrange for the two of us to meet!"

"Mm, I remember."

"Then..."

"I only said I would arrange it, but I didn't say there wouldn't be any prerequisites."

Qin Yiyan's addition made a faint anger appear on Liu Xin'ai's face.

She felt this guy was going to break his promise!

But even if he broke his promise, it would be normal, because he is Qin Yiyan!

Liu Xin'ai's expression changed several times.

Finally, it returned to calm.

Qin Yiyan had been staring at her face the whole time.

And he could tell from her expression...

This woman was definitely secretly bad-mouthing him in her heart!

But Qin Yiyan did not mind, only saying: "If you still want to meet with Xu Xiaoxiao, for these next two days, you will accompany me for meals."

Accompany him for meals?

What kind of strange request is this!

Liu Xin'ai was just complaining to herself when she suddenly thought of what happened this morning...

This made her suddenly realize.

She thought that this guy had been holding back before, and it turned out he wanted to use this to negotiate with her!

But this kind of thing didn't need to be negotiated at all.

It was just eating some vegetables; Liu Xin'ai could endure it!

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai said without hesitation: "Fine, I agree, and I hope you can keep your word!"

"Of course I will keep my word. As for you, whatever the chef prepares, you will eat it; you are not allowed to be a picky eater."

"No problem!" Liu Xin'ai agreed immediately.

But then, she realized something, frowned slightly, and asked: "You went through all this trouble... it couldn't just be to stop me from being a picky eater, right?"

Facing Liu Xin'ai's question, Qin Yiyan looked away.

He even stubbornly said: "I'm not that idle. It's just that my appetite hasn't been good lately, and I need someone with a good appetite to create a pleasant dining atmosphere on the side. It just so happens I heard your appetite is good, so I arranged it this way. However, I hate picky eaters; that picky habit of yours must be corrected."

Liu Xin'ai heard Qin Yiyan's explanation and felt...

The credibility was very low.

Also...

"Seeing you, I should lose my appetite."

Liu Xin'ai's voice was very soft, but Qin Yiyan heard it!

Instantly, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze very cold.

Liu Xin'ai was not afraid of angering him.

She was only worried that if this guy got angry, he wouldn't let Xu Xiaoxiao come to see her.

Helpless, Liu Xin'ai could only patiently say, "I know, no being a picky eater, right? I guarantee I'll eat it all."

"Good, I look forward to your performance!"

As the words fell, Qin Yiyan called for Xiao'an and had her bring dinner over directly.

The chefs of the Qin Family were quite skilled.

The dishes they made were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Liu Xin'ai hadn't been picky about food before; she basically ate whatever was given to her, as if she were completing a task.

But just these past two days, she had started to reject eating green vegetables.

Yet, of the four dishes Xiao'an brought...

There were actually two that were entirely vegetarian!

Seeing those, Liu Xin'ai's expression turned unpleasant.

She was silent for a moment.

Then she looked up and said to Qin Yiyan with a displeased expression, "You really went to, great, lengths, to arrange this!"

Qin Yiyan did not deny it.

He only said, "Being a picky eater is not a good habit. You are a doctor yourself; you know the pros and cons."

Liu Xin'ai certainly knew, but...

Sometimes knowing is one thing, and whether one can actually do it is another.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xin'ai picked up her chopsticks and ate in silence.

She had originally been picking around the green vegetables.

But soon, Qin Yiyan placed the green vegetables into her rice bowl.

They were piled so high they were almost a small mountain!

Now, Liu Xin'ai had no way to avoid them.

She could only bite the bullet and eat them.

However, after only a few bites, Liu Xin'ai felt a churning in her stomach!

The next second, she covered her lips and rushed toward the bathroom!

Qin Yiyan was startled by her reaction.

After calming down, he felt that Liu Xin'ai was deliberately exaggerating.

Her goal was to avoid eating the green vegetables.

But after standing at the bathroom door for a while, Qin Yiyan knew that Liu Xin'ai was truly unwell.

This made Qin Yiyan frown and ask, "What is wrong with you!?"

A moment later, Liu Xin'ai finally felt a little better.

She rinsed her mouth and then said to Qin Yiyan, "It's nothing, I'll eat in a little while."

"Don't eat anymore, tell me what exactly is wrong!"

Qin Yiyan spoke with great impatience, but beneath that impatience was a concern he hadn't even noticed himself.

Liu Xin'ai naturally didn't notice it either.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Didn't you see it all? I don't like eating green vegetables; I feel like vomiting as soon as I eat them."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Say it earlier so you could mock me earlier?"

"You... you really don't know what's good for you!"

"I've always been this way!"

Liu Xin'ai's tone was very sharp, wanting to take the opportunity to make Qin Yiyan leave.

This tactic of hers had always been very effective before.

But now...

After taking a few deep breaths, Qin Yiyan actually calmed down.

He even called for Xiao'an and had her take all the green vegetables away.

Before Xiao'an could leave, Qin Yiyan called her back again.

Then he turned his head and asked Liu Xin'ai, "Are you resistant to all green vegetables, or do you only hate eating leafy greens?"

Liu Xin'ai couldn't quite figure out what Qin Yiyan was planning.

She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Lettuce and cucumber... should be fine."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
