Chapter 1222: You Need to Take Good Care of Yourself

~8 min read 1,405 words

Under Liu Xin'ai's hopeful gaze, Qin Yiyan finally set off on a business trip to another city.

Before leaving, Qin Yiyan even left some documents for Liu Xin'ai, telling her to take a look when she had nothing to do.

Liu Xin'ai, however, was not interested at all and didn't even touch them.

Xiao'an, on the other hand, was quite curious about the documents.

While tidying up the tabletop, she even snuck a glance.

Just from that one glance, Xiao'an couldn't help but exclaim, "What a cute baby!"

After saying that, Xiao'an didn't forget to share with Liu Xin'ai: "Look at the baby on the cover, its eyes are just like purple grapes!"

Facing the enthusiastic Xiao'an, it wouldn't be right for Liu Xin'ai to ignore her.

So, she lazily took a look.

It must be said, it really was a very cute baby; the child's smile was especially pure, without a trace of impurity.

It's just that...

What kind of documents would have a baby's photo printed on them?

Liu Xin'ai ultimately couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart, and she asked Xiao'an to bring the documents over.

Flipping through them casually, she discovered these were all introductions to maternal and infant institutions.

At these institutions, one could receive professional prenatal education.

Prenatal education...

Xiao'an was also looking on from the side.

After looking for a while, she asked in confusion, "Does prenatal education need to be taught by others? You are so highly educated, can't you do it yourself?"

"I could, but it certainly wouldn't be as professional as them; after all, the research focus is different."

Xiao'an nodded in sudden realization.

Then she smiled and praised, "Sir is truly thoughtful; he even prepared this for you!"

Liu Xin'ai was also a bit surprised; she hadn't expected Qin Yiyan to still remember what she had said in passing that day.

But...

It was useless for him to remember; she was going to leave eventually anyway...

Liu Xin'ai gently closed her eyes and placed the documents to the side.

Xiao'an only thought Liu Xin'ai

was tired, so she didn't disturb her and quietly left the room.

In reality, this time, Liu Xin'ai was not asleep.

Her mind was thinking about many things.

There was the plan of Xu Xiaoxiao and the others, the grievances between herself and Qin Yiyan, and the child...

These messy matters swirled around in Liu Xin'ai's mind, making her feel incredibly restless.

She really couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.

Helpless, Liu Xin'ai decided to go outside for a walk.

As a result, just as she walked down the stairs, she saw several large gift boxes on the table in the living room.

There was text on the gift boxes.

Liu Xin'ai leaned over to look and discovered they were all things for a small infant.

Connecting this to those documents in the room...

Liu Xin'ai asked a passing servant, "Were these prepared by Qin Yiyan?"

"No, they are..."

"Sister!"

Before the servant could finish speaking, a clear male voice came from behind Liu Xin'ai.

That voice made the corners of Liu Xin'ai's mouth curl up.

Turning around, she looked with a smile at Liu Qingze, who was walking toward her step by step.

The siblings hadn't seen each other for a while.

Now that they were meeting, their faces were filled with irrepressible smiles.

When Liu Qingze walked in front of Liu Xin'ai, Liu Xin'ai asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"

"I've been here a while; I heard you were taking a nap, so I went to the garden to look around."

Liu Xin'ai had not been taking a nap.

However, she didn't explain, just bypassed the topic and asked, "These gift boxes..."

"Of course, they were bought for the child!"

As he spoke, Liu Qingze showed a look of guilt and muttered, "I wanted to come and congratulate you in person long ago, but the company was busy, and I went abroad to discuss a partnership, so it was delayed."

"Your heart has reached me; it's not too late."

Seeing that her younger brother didn't blame her, Liu Qingze's face

once again revealed a smile.

Liu Xin'ai looked carefully at her younger brother.

She felt that Liu Qingze had gotten much darker.

But his gaze was firm, and he was becoming more and more mature.

This made Liu Xin'ai very gratified.

But thinking of something, Liu Qingze asked, "Is Brother-in-law a bit neurotic, not even letting you use your phone?"

Liu Xin'ai's expression changed instantly!

Ever since Qin Yiyan learned that Liu Xin'ai was pregnant, he worried that this woman would be restless again, so he did not give her a smartphone.

If she had to use one occasionally, he would always watch over her from the side.

Liu Xin'ai hated being monitored, so in a fit of anger, she simply stopped taking the initiative to contact others.

Now that Liu Qingze was saying this...

Did he know something?

Liu Xin'ai panicked.

She did not want to drag Liu Qingze into this either.

She could only find an excuse to brush it off.

However, before she could find a suitable excuse, she first heard Liu Qingze talking to himself:

"I read a report before, saying that a pregnant woman's husband was worried about radiation and wouldn't even let the neighbors use WiFi. Could it be that Brother-in-law also forbids you from using a phone because of radiation?"

Liu Xin'ai hesitated for a moment before realizing that her younger brother knew nothing!

This made her heave a sigh of relief.

Then she hurriedly said, "Yes, he is just too nervous."

Liu Qingze did not suspect anything.

He was still shaking his head and sighing, "That won't do. Why don't I have a chat with Brother-in-law? If he is this cautious about everything, he will pass his nervous emotions on to you."

"He is already changing. If you say it to his face, he might... feel embarrassed."

In order to make her younger brother give up this ridiculous idea, Liu Xin'ai found an excuse.

It was just that the excuse she said off the cuff...

Really sounded awkward no matter how one listened to it!

Fortunately, Liu Qingze did not suspect anything.

He even nodded and said, "It's a good thing Sister

reminded me."

Liu Xin'ai really did not want to talk about this topic.

Her gaze fell on the few exquisite gift boxes on the table, and she said, "You are quite good at picking things; these brands are all very famous."

"Actually, Mrs. Li helped me with the advice."

Liu Xin'ai's eyes hesitated for a second, then she asked, "You mean... Jiang Baobao?"

"Yeah, I went to the maternity store to pick out gifts and ran into her, so she gave me some suggestions. By the way, she also said she wants to come see you tomorrow."

Tomorrow?

Isn't that...

Liu Xin'ai clenched her palms involuntarily.

Her expression was also somewhat tense!

Liu Qingze noticed that Liu Xin'ai was acting strangely, so he called out softly, "Sister?"

Liu Xin'ai immediately raised her head.

"Why do I feel like you are... absent-minded?"

"I... after getting pregnant, my energy has been poor, and it's easy for me to lose focus while chatting."

"I see, then you really have it hard."

Liu Qingze had no experience, so he believed whatever Liu Xin'ai said.

His gaze fell on his sister's lower abdomen, and he said with emotion, "Father always hoped that you would get pregnant and have children, to be a mother. If he could know this news, he would definitely be very comforted."

"Yes... if only he could see this child be born... how wonderful that would be."

Liu Xin'ai's voice trembled slightly.

After hearing this, Liu Qingze immediately became annoyed, feeling that he shouldn't have brought up this topic.

Liu Qingze was also very sad about their father's passing.

But Liu Qingze felt... that besides being sad, his sister was also very guilty.

Liu Qingze really wanted to comfort his sister.

But he didn't know how to start.

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath.

Then she looked up and said first, "You aren't young anymore; you need to learn to take good care of yourself."

"I can definitely take

care of myself, and I've been managing the company very well. You should come to the company to see it next time!"

"Mm, alright."
