Chapter 1247: Really Want to Tear Off His Mask

After taking a sip, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but praise: "So sweet!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao'an smiled and said: "I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I added extra sugar."

"Xiao'an is truly sensible!"

Praised once again, Xiao'an felt delighted inside.

The next second, she heard Jiang Baobao asking: "Has Bai Yufei been staying at home these past two days?"

"She was staying at home before, but recently, the gentleman has been taking Miss Bai to the company, saying he wants to urge her to learn more."

"Oh my, this brother of hers is truly conscientious."

Jiang Baobao praised her, though her heart wasn't in it.

Her eyes, however, were darting around.

One look and it was clear she was plotting something.

And that was indeed the case.

Jiang Baobao knew that the Qin Family Villa was crowded and noisy, and it was easy for things said there to be overheard.

Under these circumstances, Bai Yufei had many reservations.

But it was different outside.

As long as Jiang Baobao kept track of Bai Yufei's whereabouts, it would be easy to corner her.

And it would be even easier to provoke Bai Yufei into spilling her true thoughts...

"Baobao?"

Jiang Baobao was deep in thought when she heard Liu Xin'ai's voice in her ear.

This made Jiang Baobao quickly lift her head.

And she said: "What's wrong?"

"The smile you just had... was very strange."

Xiao'an stood beside Liu Xin'ai and nodded in agreement.

Indicating that the smile was indeed very strange—one moment triumphant, one moment fierce, and the next full of calculation.

It just felt like...

Someone was about to be unlucky!

Jiang Baobao composed her expression and then smiled: "Just zoning out, it's nothing."

It was true that she had been zoning out.

But that it was "nothing"... that was impossible.

Thinking of how Jiang Baobao had suddenly brought up Bai Yufei, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but frown.

And she said: "You all have your own lives; don't let these unhappy things of mine disturb

you."

Jiang Baobao deliberately ignored the latter half of the sentence and responded: "That's right, you should also have your own life, a normal life."

She emphasized the word "normal."

And it was these two simple words...

That were what Liu Xin'ai longed for but could not obtain!

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes.

Trying to hide the exhaustion within them.

But seeing this scene, Jiang Baobao only thought that Liu Xin'ai was tired from talking.

Thinking that she had been there for a while, Jiang Baobao held her belly and stood up.

She then said: "I'll come to see you again next week, and when I do, I'll bring you some more things you can use."

Ah, bringing more?

Liu Xin'ai opened her eyes and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse: "Don't bring any more, I can't use them all."

"How could you not use them all? Everything I prepare will come in handy, don't doubt me."

"But..."

"Alright, alright, just leave these things to me to arrange."

Jiang Baobao patted Liu Xin'ai's shoulder and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly arranged: "Xiao'an, go see Mrs. Li out."

Jiang Baobao didn't need it and denied: "No need to see me out, walking slowly is the same."

"You should still be seen out; you have a big belly now, everything must be handled with care."

Liu Xin'ai's persistence left Jiang Baobao helpless.

In the end, she could only accept her suggestion.

Just as Jiang Baobao was walking down the stairs, she actually...

Saw Bai Yufei and Qin Yiyan walking in.

The two seemed to have just returned from the company, dressed in formal attire.

Seeing those two, Jiang Baobao let out a soft hum.

She thought to herself that their return was truly "coincidental"!

Bai Yufei was chatting and laughing with Qin Yiyan.

Appearing very well-behaved.

Yet she didn't expect that as soon as she looked up, she would see Jiang Baobao giving her a fake

smile!

That smile, one look and you knew she was up to no good!

Bai Yufei opened her mouth, ready to be snide toward her.

However, her eyes darted for a moment...

Bai Yufei feigned a look of fear and hid behind Qin Yiyan.

She even muttered in a low voice: "Why is this Mrs. Li's smile so sinister? It gives me the creeps!"

"She can smile however she likes; why bother with her?"

As Qin Yiyan spoke, Jiang Baobao had already walked in front of the two, supported by Xiao'an.

Her gaze remained fixed on Bai Yufei.

She smiled gently: "Miss Bai, you always spend your precious time at home to take care of Xin'ai; it is truly admirable."

Bai Yufei frowned and grumbled: "Who says I'm always at home? Didn't you see my brother and me just get back? My brother was taking me to the company to learn!"

Jiang Baobao feigned a look of sudden realization and sighed: "Learning more things is very good; Xin'ai wants to learn, but she has no opportunity."

"Sister-in-law could go out too, but she brings it on herself..."

"Enough!" Qin Yiyan stopped Bai Yufei, feeling she was talking too much.

Bai Yufei pouted her red lips, feeling unreconciled.

At the same time, she was secretly observing Jiang Baobao's reaction.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of pursuing the matter.

Bai Yufei was very annoyed.

She thought to herself that she had missed an opportunity to stir up trouble!

Qin Yiyan, following up on Bai Yufei's unfinished sentence, continued: "Xin'ai likes to get stuck in a rut; with you here, you can guide her."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao wanted to roll her eyes!

Liu Xin'ai was not a woman who liked to get stuck in a rut.

Her personality was indifferent and open-minded; she did not like to fight or compete.

It was all because of the Qin Family siblings that she had to endure pain and torment she shouldn't have to!

The more Jiang Baobao thought about it, the angrier she became.

If

it weren't for the sake of the big picture, she would have wanted to tear off Qin Yiyan's hypocritical mask right then and there!

Qin Yiyan, however, remained calm; he even looked at Xiao'an and asked: "How is the Madam's condition?"

His words sounded as if he were concerned about Liu Xin'ai.

But in reality, Qin Yiyan wanted to take the opportunity to knock Jiang Baobao down a peg.

So that she would come less often, to avoid Liu Xin'ai having to force herself to entertain her.

But Xiao'an was a simple-minded girl.

She didn't analyze all those hidden meanings.

Thinking only that the master wanted to know Liu Xin'ai's condition, she said truthfully: "The Madam is doing quite well, it's just that her ankles are a bit swollen."

These words made Qin Yiyan pause.

His voice also became somewhat serious: "Swollen? Why are they swollen? Have you seen a doctor?"

It was very obvious that Qin Yiyan was nervous about Liu Xin'ai.

This was not what Bai Yufei wanted to see.

She opened her mouth and said: "It's just swelling; I drink a lot of water and get swollen all over too."

Bai Yufei was implying that Xiao'an was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Jiang Baobao, however, said very directly: "I advise you to speak less, otherwise that water might easily run into your brain."

Water running into the brain?

That would mean...

Realizing this, Bai Yufei's face turned red with anger.

She pointed at Jiang Baobao and shouted: "You, how can you talk like that!"

Jiang Baobao, however, was very calm: "As long as you learned a little more about pregnancy, you wouldn't say such thoughtless things!"

"I'm not a pregnant woman, why would I learn that!"

"But Xin'ai is pregnant; didn't you say over and over that you wanted to take care of her? When you really need to understand her, this is your attitude?"

Jiang Baobao raised her eyebrows slightly, setting a trap for Bai Yufei without a sound.

It was only then that Bai Yufei realized she had fallen into a trap,

and she was furious inside!

But...
