Chapter 1245: Live and Learn

Seeing Jiang Baobao's expression, Xu Xiaoxiao could not help but shake her head and chuckle.

But immediately, her smile slowly faded.

In her heart, she was thinking that Chi Rong... probably did not know about these things that had happened yet.

Once the truth was exposed, Chi Rong would surely be very sad.

Xu Xiaoxiao really did not want to hurt her.

But...

With a son and daughter like this, it was hard not to get hurt!

Before setting off for the Qin Family Villa, Jiang Baobao was not sure if she would be made things difficult for.

In any case, Jiang Baobao prepared for the worst first.

When she arrived at the Qin Family, she discovered...

The servants were very polite to her.

They even took the initiative to lead her to Liu Xin'ai's bedroom.

Such a friendly attitude made Jiang Baobao feel slightly surprised.

But she did not say anything.

She just looked around cautiously.

Soon, Jiang Baobao walked into Liu Xin'ai's bedroom.

Ever since Jiang Baobao had visited the home last time, Qin Yiyan no longer put chains on Liu Xin'ai.

This gave her a little more freedom.

However, the degree of freedom was very limited.

Liu Xin'ai still could not leave the room.

At this moment, seeing her friend walk in, Liu Xin'ai's lips curved up into a calm smile.

But to Jiang Baobao, this smile of hers...

Seemed like a flower that had lost its vitality.

Jiang Baobao sighed silently, then walked over and held Liu Xin'ai's hand.

With their hands clasped, Liu Xin'ai felt that Jiang Baobao's hand was a bit cold, so she said to Xiao'an at the door, "Prepare two cups of ginger tea."

Liu Xin'ai rarely spoke when at home.

Her silent appearance made Xiao'an worry constantly.

Now that she had suddenly opened her mouth to give an order, Xiao'an was so excited she could cry!

She turned her head and hurried off to prepare it.

Because Jiang Baobao was facing away from Xiao'an, she did not notice this detail.

Instead, she took this opportunity to observe Liu Xin'ai's wrists.

The traces of abrasions on them had already disappeared.

It was as if they had never appeared at all.

Liu Xin'ai knew what Jiang Baobao was thinking.

In order to dispel her concerns, Liu Xin'ai said against her heart, "The allergy symptoms are gone, so the skin naturally doesn't itch anymore, and it heals quickly."

"Mm, that's good."

Jiang Baobao pretended to believe Liu Xin'ai's explanation, then turned her head to look out the window.

As a result, just by looking...

"Strange, why have the flowers outside all disappeared?"

Because Jiang Baobao was worried about Liu Xin'ai, she had come and gone in a hurry and had not looked closely at the changes in the garden.

Now that she looked, she was shocked to find that it was bare inside.

It was truly unsightly.

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes gently and explained, "Perhaps they want to use that plot of land for something else."

"A garden, as the name implies, is for planting flowers; if you don't plant flowers, can you fence it off to raise sheep?"

Jiang Baobao was straightforward and outspoken.

And her words made Liu Xin'ai laugh.

At this moment, her smile was genuine, and one could see that she was in a relaxed mood.

Jiang Baobao, however, could not be relaxed.

She thought of something and asked with a serious expression, "This wouldn't be Bai Yufei's idea, would it?"

"No, it was Qin Yiyan's decision."

"Then was his brain flooded at the time!?"

This jab was truly lethal.

Liu Xin'ai held back her laughter and said, "For that, you'll have to ask Qin Yiyan."

Jiang Baobao was too lazy to ask.

Time was precious now; she could not keep making jabs and had to seize the opportunity to talk about serious matters.

Jiang Baobao looked straight into Liu Xin'ai's eyes and asked considerately and gently, "Does Qing Ze come to see you regularly?"

"When he isn't busy, he does."

"Then right now... does it count as busy?"

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered as she replied, "Very busy."

"But he isn't even at the company, what could he be busy with?"

Jiang Baobao's questions were becoming more and more specific.

Once Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth...

It was very likely that she would let Jiang Baobao discover clues.

This left Liu Xin'ai very conflicted.

She worried that her leaking information would cause things to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

She also worried that silence would cause Liu Qingze to miss the chance to regain his freedom.

Sigh, it was truly difficult!

Liu Xin'ai clasped her hands together, her eyes full of struggle.

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai had been silent for a long time, Jiang Baobao called out softly, "Xin'ai..."

That soft call made Liu Xin'ai's troubled heart suddenly calm down.

Afterwards, she looked up, stared straight into Jiang Baobao's eyes, and said, "Are the things in this bag for me?"

Jiang Baobao had come today carrying a bag in her hand.

Hearing Liu Xin'ai say this, Jiang Baobao picked up the bag and said, "These are some things I bought for you that a pregnant woman can use. Take a look and see if they suit you."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao took out all the boxes of various sizes from inside.

Although her main purpose for coming here today was to scout for information.

Jiang Baobao had not forgotten to care for Liu Xin'ai.

The things in the bag were all things she could actually use.

It was just that...

Liu Xin'ai didn't know where to start with these boxes.

Picking up two to look at them, Liu Xin'ai asked, "Why did you bring me skincare products?"

"Because those are specifically for pregnant women; they contain almost no preservatives, and the ingredients are very healthy."

Liu Xin'ai switched to another box and asked, "Then what about this bottle of oil?"

"It says on it that it can get rid of stretch marks."

"But I think this is a tax on intelligence; whether or not you get stretch marks has to do with skin elasticity."

Liu Xin'ai analyzed it very rationally.

Jiang Baobao, however, had a different perspective: "Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, it won't do any harm anyway. And when you're applying it, you can communicate with the baby in your belly; what a great opportunity for prenatal education."

This...

Liu Xin'ai really hadn't expected that massage could be related to prenatal education.

But Jiang Baobao's words were right.

Prenatal education wasn't that high-brow; it could completely be integrated into the small things in life.

Liu Xin'ai felt like she had learned a lesson.

And at this moment, Jiang Baobao stuffed another box to her: "There's also this, it's prepared for you too!"

The box was square and also flat.

Liu Xin'ai picked it up to look at it, then put the box down feeling rather uncomfortable.

And said, "You don't need to buy me underwear; I can just do that myself."

"Then you must remember to buy adjustable ones. You might not feel it now, but when you become a big-bellied woman like me, you'll discover the wonders of this thing."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao patted her belly lightly.

Following her action, Liu Xin'ai's gaze landed on the round belly.

She thought that with such a large abdominal circumference, wearing ordinary small underwear would indeed be uncomfortable.

And Jiang Baobao had actually even helped consider such a small matter.

It was truly thoughtful.

A wave of warmth washed over Liu Xin'ai's heart.

And she couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly, one is never too old to learn."

"That's for sure."

"When you encounter a rare learning opportunity, you must grasp it well."

Liu Xin'ai's tone was faint.

But in her voice...

It seemed to harbor a deeper meaning!

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment, then calmly raised her eyes to look at Liu Xin'ai.

She saw that there was a smile in Liu Xin'ai's eyes.

The smile was warm and soft.

It was no longer as lifeless as it had been just a moment ago.

Jiang Baobao watched for a while, then curled her lips and said with a smile, "If there's anything else you want to learn, you can tell me. If I know it, I will definitely teach it to you without reservation."
