Chapter 1219: This Is Not How A Younger Sister Should Behave

Having received the answer, Qin Yiyan instructed Xiao'an: "Did you hear that? Have the kitchen stir-fry these two dishes again."

"Yes."

Xiao'an carried the vegetables away, her mind still a bit muddled.

However...

She could feel the care Qin Yiyan had for Liu Xin'ai!

Hmm, that's more like it.

A husband should be considerate of his pregnant wife!

Xiao'an was happy for Liu Xin'ai.

But Bai Yufei, who had just arrived at the dining room, was completely bewildered.

She stared at the empty dining room and called over a servant, asking: "Is my brother still busy in the study?"

"No, sir is in the bedroom, eating with madam."

Hearing this, Bai Yufei's mind went blank.

The next instant, she demanded sharply: "The two of them... why aren't they coming down to eat?!"

Bai Yufei's expression was very ferocious.

The servant was frightened, lowered their head, and said in a panic: "This... I am not sure."

"You don't know anything, you're truly useless!!"

Bai Yufei scolded, then pushed the servant aside and walked upstairs aggressively!

At the same time, Liu Xin'ai in the room felt completely awkward.

Because...

Qin Yiyan was peeling shrimp for her.

Liu Xin'ai indicated she could do it herself.

But Qin Yiyan refused.

He just peeled them slowly, his movements very elegant.

Liu Xin'ai stared at his slender fingers for a while.

Then, she asked a question: "Why are you... so strange today?"

"Where is it strange?"

"You are trying your best to control your temper, and you are taking the initiative to show kindness; what exactly are you..."

Liu Xin'ai was thinking about how to evaluate this behavior of Qin Yiyan's.

But she took a bit too long to think, and Qin Yiyan raised his eyes, pressing: "What exactly am I?"

"Plotting what kind of scheme?"

Liu Xin'ai felt

that there must be a conspiracy in this!

Qin Yiyan countered: "You are my wife; does being nice to you also require a plan?"

"Just purely wanting to be good to me?"

"If you want something not so pure, I can satisfy you too."

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow at Liu Xin'ai.

That provocative look made Liu Xin'ai press her lips together tightly.

She did not continue this question.

But she was still curious in her heart, wanting to know what Qin Yiyan's change was really for.

Ah, could it be...

Because he heard her conversation with Xu Xiaoxiao and was moved by it?

As soon as this hypothesis popped into Liu Xin'ai's mind, she denied it herself.

Because she felt Qin Yiyan was not the type to know his mistakes and correct them!

But the hypothesis Liu Xin'ai denied...

was precisely the truth!

It was just that Qin Yiyan himself hadn't realized this truth yet.

He just felt that he had an obligation to help Liu Xin'ai break her bad habits so that Baobao could be born healthy.

As for what his mother had experienced...

he would absolutely never let Liu Xin'ai experience it again!

The husband and wife each harbored their own thoughts.

And just at this moment, someone pushed the door open.

The moment she saw Qin Yiyan, Bai Yufei immediately changed her expression.

She said in a coquettish tone: "Brother and sister-in-law really are hiding in the room; are you two eating something delicious behind my back?"

Qin Yiyan felt it was very rude for his younger sister to enter without knocking.

But he didn't say much, just patiently explained: "The food is all the same."

"Then why aren't you coming down to eat?"

Because...

Qin Yiyan wanted to correct Liu Xin'ai's habit of being a picky eater.

But disciplining Liu Xin'ai in front of Bai Yufei would surely make her feel awkward.

The effect would also be greatly diminished.

And such a

reason cannot be spoken in front of Bai Yufei.

Qin Yiyan had no choice but to find a random excuse: "Your sister-in-law just woke up and doesn't feel like moving, so I'll keep her company."

Hearing this...

Liu Xin'ai glanced at Qin Yiyan.

She thought to herself that this man was indeed very good at lying!

Bai Yufei had no intention of distinguishing truth from falsehood.

In any case, she took it for real!

Her eyes darted, and she requested: "Then I'll eat here too!"

"Fei'er..."

"Didn't Brother say I should keep Sister-in-law company more? Why is Brother complaining about me when I'm listening to Brother's words?"

Bai Yufei's rhetoric made Qin Yiyan sigh.

Liu Xin'ai stood up at this moment and suggested: "How about you two eat here, and I'll go for a walk."

She truly wanted to leave this place of trouble.

But Bai Yufei said with a mocking tone: "Sister-in-law doesn't need to say angry things on purpose; I'm just staying to eat, not trying to monopolize Brother!"

As she spoke, Bai Yufei shook Qin Yiyan's arm and acted like a spoiled child: "Brother doesn't think I'm redundant too, right? If you really think so, then I'll go to the dining room and eat by myself!"

Bai Yufei blinked her eyes, looking like she was suffering for the sake of the whole.

But the problem is...

No one was actually giving her any grievances to suffer, right?

Liu Xin'ai took one look, then turned her gaze away, filled with helplessness.

Facing the feigned pitifulness of Bai Yufei, Qin Yiyan was also helpless.

However, what needed to be said to Liu Xin'ai had been mostly said, so it didn't matter if Bai Yufei stayed.

So Qin Yiyan said: "It's just a matter of an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, stay and eat."

"Thank you, Brother!"

Bai Yufei immediately revealed a smiling face.

She even took advantage of Qin Yiyan not paying attention to look provocatively at Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai, however, didn't pay any attention to Bai Yufei at all.

She only felt that this meal, I'm afraid,

would be even harder to swallow.

Soon, Xiao'an came in carrying bowls, chopsticks, and two freshly stir-fried dishes.

Bai Yufei didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat heartily.

She even claimed the shrimp that Qin Yiyan had peeled for Liu Xin'ai as her own!

Qin Yiyan originally wanted to stop her.

But looking at Liu Xin'ai's indifferent appearance, he suddenly felt...

His good intentions were not valued at all!

This made Qin Yiyan frown imperceptibly.

He also didn't want to talk to Liu Xin'ai for the time being.

The atmosphere in the room underwent a subtle change.

And after Qin Yiyan received a phone call, the atmosphere changed once again...

"Alright, I understand. Once the time is confirmed, I will notify you again."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan hung up the phone.

On his face, he still wore a relaxed expression.

Bai Yufei hurriedly asked: "Brother, is there good news from the company?"

"Yes, a very excellent partner has extended an olive branch, hoping to cooperate with the company."

"To be able to gain Brother's recognition shows that the other party is truly excellent!"

Qin Yiyan nodded.

But in his eyes, there was also confusion: "The company has not had any contact with them before; this cooperation is somewhat unexpected."

Bai Yufei, however, felt this matter was not hard to understand.

She smiled and tilted her head, praising: "It must be because Brother's reputation is far-reaching and attracted them!"

Afterwards, Bai Yufei said many more words of praise.

That sweet voice, paired with her admiring gaze, made Liu Xin'ai... feel very awkward.

Was she overthinking it, why did she feel... this was not how a younger sister should behave?

Liu Xin'ai was doubting herself, yet she said nothing.

However, while she was silent, she captured some information.

For example, the other party invited Qin Yiyan to personally

go to the local factory for an inspection.

And Qin Yiyan readily agreed.
