Chapter 1220: This Man Did Not Break His Promise

Qin Yiyan actually did not want to chat too much about work-related content at the dining table.

Seeing that Bai Yufei had no intention of stopping at all, he took the initiative to stop her: "Fei'er, don't keep talking while eating; it's easy to get indigestion."

Bai Yufei did not discover the subtext in Qin Yiyan's words.

Instead, she said sweetly: "Understood, thank you for your concern, Brother."

She felt that she had truly come at the right time!

Not only did she squeeze out Liu Xin'ai, but she also received her brother's concern!

That Liu Xin'ai should also properly straighten out her own position!

And know who the true mistress of this house is!

The more Bai Yufei thought about it, the more pleased she became, and she also grew increasingly arrogant.

While her eyes were darting about, she noticed that the green bamboo shoots and cucumber that Qin Yiyan had placed in Liu Xin'ai's bowl had barely been eaten by that woman.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, and Bai Yufei said with ill intent: "Sister-in-law doesn't really eat vegetables; being this picky won't do. Baobao will be unhealthy. What you have in your belly is the flesh and blood of the Qin Family. If anything happens, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

Liu Xin'ai still did not like the two dishes that Qin Yiyan had someone send over again.

But she could eat a little bit.

And eating them did not make her feel nauseous.

Qin Yiyan knew that this was already progress.

So he did not force her; even if Liu Xin'ai ate slowly, he did not urge her.

As for what Bai Yufei had just said...

It was a complete misunderstanding of Liu Xin'ai.

Qin Yiyan helped Liu Xin'ai explain.

But before he could open his mouth, Liu Xin'ai spoke first: "The child is mine; if I cannot bear the responsibility, could you?"

Her words were blunt, and hearing them left Bai Yufei stunned.

The next second, Bai Yufei looked at Qin Yiyan with grievance: "I was only kindly offering a suggestion, how did Sister-in-

law turn her spearhead toward me?"

Liu Xin'ai gave a cold snort: "Kind? Why do I feel like you are wishing for something to happen to the child?!"

Her words caused a flash of malice to pass through Bai Yufei's eyes.

Liu Xin'ai was not a person who nitpicked.

On the contrary, in many situations, she would smooth things over.

But Bai Yufei just now... was clearly cursing her child!

This made it impossible for Liu Xin'ai to endure.

She even turned her words into sharp claws and struck back!

Bai Yufei naturally would not obediently take it; she wanted to strike back.

But before the vicious words could leave her mouth, she changed her mind.

She looked at Qin Yiyan with tears welling up, wanting her brother to make the decision for her.

Qin Yiyan also felt that Liu Xin'ai's words were excessive.

He said: "You misunderstood Fei'er; how could she possibly think that way? At most, her way of speaking is just too direct."

Qin Yiyan's defense made Liu Xin'ai frown slightly.

But they were siblings, so they would definitely be on the same side.

After a brief moment of dissatisfaction, Liu Xin'ai returned to being calm.

And said: "Then she needs to be more careful with her words in the future."

Bai Yufei rolled her eyes silently and snorted: "Sister-in-law has such a high-and-mighty attitude, lecturing people the moment she opens her mouth!"

This time, Qin Yiyan did not stand on her side again.

Instead, he said: "You indeed did something wrong; Xin'ai criticizing you is also reasonable. Pay more attention in the future."

Bai Yufei did not expect her brother to criticize her, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

But Qin Yiyan did not look at her at all; instead, he looked at...

Liu Xin'ai.

He did not speak, but used his eyes to tell Liu Xin'ai that he was backing her up.

But what kind of backing up was it to punish both sides equally?

Liu Xin'ai did not care for it at all!

Because there was a lump of frustration in her heart, Liu Xin'ai sped up her eating.

She hoped that once she finished eating, she could stay far away from this pair of insufferable siblings.

Who would have thought that when Liu Xin'ai stood up, Qin Yiyan stopped her and asked: "I haven't finished eating yet, where are you going?"

"Isn't Fei'er keeping you company? I see you are eating quite happily."

"But Fei'er does not have requests of me."

This guy...

He was just warning Liu Xin'ai!

Liu Xin'ai's face turned cold.

She sat back down with a bad attitude.

But Qin Yiyan did not understand what Liu Xin'ai was angry about.

Clearly, he had already been very considerate of her feelings and had shown her concern; what else did this woman want!?

Qin Yiyan could not figure out Liu Xin'ai's thoughts and became increasingly irritable.

Bai Yufei was sitting right beside Qin Yiyan, so she could sense the change in his mood.

She guessed that the reason her brother was unhappy was all because of Liu Xin'ai.

Since this woman was such an eyesore...

Then she should just get out!

Thinking this, Bai Yufei tilted her head to look at Qin Yiyan and said with feigned consideration, "Sister-in-law is staying here against her will anyway, why force her? You should just let her leave."

"I didn't force her; it was her own choice to stay."

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai sneered.

Yes, it appeared to be her own choice.

But in Qin Yiyan's hand, he held an invisible rope.

Tightly binding Liu Xin'ai!

Liu Xin'ai was sick and tired of this behavior!!

Equally annoyed was Qin Yiyan.

Upon seeing that sneer from Liu Xin'ai, his patience was exhausted; he slammed down his chopsticks and left!

"Brother..."

Bai Yufei called out from behind, but she could not stop Qin Yiyan's departing footsteps.

Once Qin Yiyan's figure disappeared past the doorway, Bai Yufei put away her look of worry.

Instead, she looked at Liu Xin'ai provocatively: "You really are a mood killer."

!

Liu Xin'ai said expressionlessly, "This is my room; if you feel uncomfortable, why didn't you leave sooner?"

"Do you think I want to stay? It's all for my brother's sake!"

"Then right now, for your brother's sake, please leave!"

This woman...

Bai Yufei clenched her fists and left, feeling resentful and unwilling.

In the room, there was no one else.

Liu Xin'ai was finally able to heave a sigh of relief.

But...

She felt somewhat vexed.

She thought to herself, she had endured for so long, why couldn't she have endured just a little bit longer?

Now that Qin Yiyan was angry, would he... still let Xu Xiaoxiao come to see her?

Liu Xin'ai sighed deeply, feeling that things did not look very optimistic.

But the reality was the exact opposite of Liu Xin'ai's prediction!

The next day, Xu Xiaoxiao came to the Qin Family Villa!!

Upon seeing Xu Xiaoxiao, Liu Xin'ai could not hide her happiness.

She took her hand and said, "That's great, I thought Qin Yiyan was going to go back on his word!"

Xu Xiaoxiao did not know the inside story; she just smiled and handed Liu Xin'ai a very thick medical book.

Holding the book, the curve of Liu Xin'ai's lips deepened: "What a coincidence, I've been wanting to read this book for the past two days; I didn't expect you to bring it over yourself."

"This shows that we have a meeting of minds!"

Xu Xiaoxiao emphasized the last few words.

And Liu Xin'ai... caught the profound meaning behind them!

This made her smile falter for a moment, then she looked up and met Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze.

She discovered that there was a hidden meaning in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Could it be...

Liu Xin'ai clutched the book tightly, suddenly feeling very nervous.

Xu Xiaoxiao's smile remained unchanged as she reassured her: "Don't be anxious, read it slowly; just treat it as a way to pass the time."

"But I can't help but be anxious; I've been looking forward to this book for a long time!"

"Precisely because you've been looking forward to it,"

"you must read it carefully, so as not to miss any important content."
