Chapter 1235: So he still cares about his reputation after all

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai let out a sigh of relief.

And Liu Qingze immediately lowered his tone.

He whispered, "Then let's not chat anymore, don't disturb my sister's rest."

"Alright, you go get busy too."

Qin Yiyan ended the call.

Liu Xin'ai then immediately pressed, "What exactly is going on here?"

Qin Yiyan put down his phone and said unhurriedly:

"Mr. Jin is a well-known economist; you might have heard of him in the news too. After retiring from his position, he holds a Finance class every year, but he only recruits five young people globally. I secured a spot for your brother."

So... Liu Qingze was not harmed.

But was studying and furthering his education?!

This result was something Liu Xin'ai had not expected at all.

Her whole person seemed completely out of the loop.

Qin Yiyan was staring at Liu Xin'ai without blinking.

Only after Liu Xin'ai had digested this news did he remind her: "Whether your brother is doing well or not depends entirely on your whim."

This reminder brought Liu Xin'ai back from her deep thoughts to reality.

She raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, her voice icy: "What virtue or ability do I have that makes you go to such great lengths!"

"Because you are my wife."

Wife...

Liu Xin'ai was truly sick to death of these two words right now!

Qin Yiyan, however, ignored how much Liu Xin'ai hated it, opened his mouth, and made a demand of her: "Tell Jiang Baobao to stop immediately."

Let Liu Xin'ai tell Jiang Baobao?

Wouldn't that mean...

The two of them needed to make contact?

Worried that she had misunderstood something, Liu Xin'ai asked hurriedly: "Are you... asking me to contact Jiang Baobao?"

"Yes, I can arrange for you to meet."

The affirmative answer made Liu Xin'ai gently purse her lips, saying nothing.

But her eyes changed, becoming a bit more lively.

Qin Yiyan naturally did not miss this change.

He did not forget to warn her: "I advise you not to be happy too early; when you meet, I will be by your side."

This addition was truly ominous.

And...

Liu Xin'ai shook the chains and asked with a smile: "How can I be happy meeting a friend while wearing this thing?"

The clanking sound of the iron chains was very harsh.

Liu Xin'ai's pale smile was also very jarring.

Qin Yiyan averted his gaze and frowned again involuntarily.

He said crossly: "When Jiang Baobao is there, this will be removed."

This decision made the smile at the corners of Liu Xin'ai's mouth deepen.

She thought to herself that Qin Yiyan still cared about his reputation.

He knew that some things simply could not see the light of day!

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes slightly.

Her eyes were full of contempt.

Then she said: "I can follow your request and meet Baobao. But I can't guarantee that she will believe whatever I say."

"I don't need her to believe it; I need her to understand that the initiative is in my hands!"

It must be said that Qin Yiyan truly liked to control everything.

But things in the world might not go as he wished!

Liu Xin'ai continued to lower her eyes and said: "Whose hands the initiative is in has nothing to do with me; I just want my brother to be safe. You had better not touch him either, otherwise, I don't know what I might do."

Qin Yiyan's voice was chilling: "Are you threatening me?!"

"No, I am just stating my thoughts."

Liu Xin'ai's emotions were very stable.

And there was no intention of acting out of spite.

It was as if she had already resigned herself, or as if...

She was already dead inside.

Qin Yiyan stared fixedly at Liu Xin'ai.

The more he looked, the more bored he felt!

Finally, Qin Yiyan withdrew his gaze and was about to leave with a sullen face.

But when Qin Yiyan reached the door, Liu Xin'ai suddenly spoke:

"You really found the wrong person."

Her words were abrupt and lacked context.

Yet Qin Yiyan could understand.

He stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Liu Xin'ai.

Then she heard her say: "If you could find a young woman with no mind of her own, your life wouldn't be such a chaotic mess."

"But I found you, and it can only be you."

"But this is just asking for trouble."

"But I just like a bit more uncertainty in a peaceful life, and you happen to be able to satisfy me."

Such a comment made Liu Xin'ai curl the corners of her lips.

She felt that in the end, she had become a plaything!

Liu Xin'ai said nothing more; she took a deep breath and lowered her eyes.

Instead, the sound of Qin Yiyan slamming the door and leaving rang in her ears.

From this sound, one could tell that the guy was angry again.

But it was strange.

Clearly, she hadn't said anything.

What was he angry about?

Liu Xin'ai felt that that guy was the one who was truly insatiable; clearly, everything had already been handled according to his requirements.

But for Liu Xin'ai, she had waited for good news today:

Her younger brother was safe and sound!

As long as Liu Qingze was fine, the heart Liu Xin'ai had been holding could finally relax a little.

As for the future...

Did Liu Xin'ai even have a future?

She curled the corners of her lips.

Then she wearily closed her eyes.

As for Qin Yiyan outside the room, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood at the doorway with a gloomy expression.

Just at this moment, Xiao'an came over carrying fruit, preparing to send it to Liu Xin'ai.

But Xiao'an did not expect to run into Qin Yiyan at the door, and her heart sank.

The next second, she wanted to leave quietly.

But Qin Yiyan had already discovered Xiao'an.

He even called out to stop her and asked irritably: "Has Liu Xin'ai been lifeless these past two days?"

Xiao'an replied with trepidation: "Yes."

"Then find a way to help her adjust her mood; looking at that face that is either icy cold or sneering is truly nauseating!!"

Xiao'an felt that Qin Yiyan was making things difficult for people.

Lowering her head, she muttered softly: "You don't even let people talk to the Madam, so how could the Madam be happy."

Qin Yiyan heard this muttering.

He immediately stared over.

That look really frightened Xiao'an; she hurriedly protected her cheek with one hand, fearing that Qin Yiyan would hit her face again.

Qin Yiyan was already feeling annoyed, and after seeing this action from Xiao'an...

He became even angrier!

He even asked irritably: "Why are you so afraid of me, as if I always bully you all on a daily basis!"

"Y-you don't bully us, you are very good to us!"

Xiao'an wanted to say something nice to make Qin Yiyan stop being angry.

But this kind of insincere flattery was really better left unsaid!

It made Qin Yiyan even more irritable!

After taking a deep breath, Qin Yiyan ordered Xiao'an irritably: "Go find the housekeeper..."

"Sir, please don't fire me! The Madam still needs me to take care of her; I promise not to talk nonsense in the future!!"

Xiao'an didn't wait for Qin Yiyan to finish speaking before she begged, on the verge of tears.

It was just that her begging made Qin Yiyan grind his teeth and retort: "Who said I was going to fire you!?"

Huh?

Not firing her?

A look of confusion appeared on Xiao'an's face.

And for once, Qin Yiyan did not continue to lose his temper; instead, he said with patience: "I told you to find the housekeeper just to have you go collect a sum of compensation."

Compensation?

Xiao'an's brain finally started turning.

With this turn, Xiao'an thought of something and said hurriedly: "Are you giving me this money because you feel guilty for hitting me? No need, no need, it doesn't really hurt anyway!"

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