Chapter 1271: You Clearly Care About Her

Qin Yiyan left as soon as he finished speaking.

The conversation among everyone also ended on a sour note.

This result made Chi Rong sigh involuntarily.

However, Liu Xin'ai was not affected at all.

Because she was already used to arguing and bickering with Qin Yiyan.

After the hot compress, Liu Xin'ai wanted to apply medicinal oil to Chi Rong's injury.

The servant had already brought safflower oil, and Liu Xin'ai opened the bottle, about to pour the oil into her palm.

But at that very moment, the bottle was snatched away by someone.

Liu Xin'ai was startled and looked to her side.

Then she saw the dark-faced Qin Yiyan!

This time, Liu Xin'ai lost her temper, knitted her brows, and scolded: "You need to have some sense of proportion even when you're making a scene; if Mom's shoulder isn't rubbed to disperse the swelling, it will become very serious!"

Qin Yiyan knew that.

But he still didn't intend to return the medicinal oil, and even asked: "What is this?"

"Safflower oil!"

"Can a pregnant woman use safflower oil!"

This...

Liu Xin'ai had been anxious to help and had actually forgotten this taboo.

Looking at Liu Xin'ai's clearly deflated spirit, Qin Yiyan scoffed: "As a mother, you really are derelict in your duty!"

Chi Rong couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly said: "Yiyan, you are going too far by saying that! Besides, I didn't consider this matter either; if you want to blame someone, blame me!"

How could Qin Yiyan possibly blame his mother?

But since his mother had said so, Qin Yiyan couldn't continue to reproach her.

He just said coldly to Liu Xin'ai: "You go; I will take care of it for Mother."

"Then remember to use some force when rubbing it in, otherwise it won't be effective."

"That's common sense, okay? I know!"

Qin Yiyan was very impatient.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai didn't say anything more, turned around, and left the room in silence.

As soon as she left, Chi Rong sighed: "You, you clearly care about her, why do you have to put on such a fierce expression?"

"I don't care about her; I'm just worried about the child."

After Qin Yiyan finished speaking, he was quiet for a moment before adding: "Besides, whether I'm fierce or not, Liu Xin'ai wouldn't care."

"Who says so? Everyone's heart is made of flesh; it will hurt if it gets wounded."

"But Liu Xin'ai is different; her heart evolved into a wall of bronze and iron long ago!"

Not knowing if it was Chi Rong's imagination, she felt...

There was a sense of resentment in Qin Yiyan's words!

She wanted to confirm it.

But when Qin Yiyan was massaging, he truly didn't hold back his strength!

Chi Rong didn't want to cry out in pain, so she could only keep her lips tightly shut.

Once the pain was not so intense, Chi Rong took a long breath.

Only then did she say: "You need to go and apologize to Xin'ai."

Qin Yiyan was very resistant to this arrangement and refused immediately: "I won't apologize!"

"You blamed Xin'ai without knowing the reason; shouldn't you apologize?"

"But you didn't tell me about the decision you made, so it's understandable that I would misunderstand her."

"You... sigh, how can a husband be so petty!"

It wasn't that Qin Yiyan was being petty, but rather that Liu Xin'ai...

She wasn't worth Qin Yiyan making concessions!

Moreover, there was one more thing Qin Yiyan didn't understand.

He asked: "Why couldn't you tell me about your decision in advance? If I had known, I could have cooperated."

"This..."

Seeing his mother's eyes shift, Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes and gave a light scoff: "You never intended to let me know at all!"

"It's not that we didn't want to let you know, but the matter happened suddenly."

"I see, it was that woman Liu Xin'ai who came up with the idea and couldn't wait to execute it, right?"

Chi Rong didn't deny it, only sighing: "You, you really do understand her well."

"After all, we're married; how could I not understand her at all? Besides, Liu Xin'ai is naturally good at observing, and she's hard-hearted!"

"If she were truly hard-hearted, how could she help us deal with Fei'er? Sometimes you understand Xin'ai very well, but at other times, you have many misunderstandings about her."

Qin Yiyan did not accept his mother's conclusion.

He spoke up immediately: "Liu Xin'ai helping out is because she feels bad for you."

"And then?"

His mother's question made Qin Yiyan pause, and he asked in confusion: "What do you mean, 'and then'?"

"Are you jealous?"

Qin Yiyan thought this question was ridiculous!

He curled his lips coldly and denied it: "I'm not that idle, to be bothered by such trivial matters!"

As he spoke, Qin Yiyan had already finished applying the medicinal oil for his mother.

He wiped his hands with a tissue and said, "If your shoulder still hurts, I will call the Doctor."

"Liu Xin'ai is a Doctor; she has already looked at it and said it is fine."

Qin Yiyan did not respond to this, instead bringing up something else: "I have asked the kitchen staff to prepare some food for Fei'er."

"Liu Xin'ai already had someone prepare it just now; it should be ready by now, you should go over and take a look."

Qin Yiyan frowned slightly and said again, "Fei'er surely has no appetite; she needs to eat something easy to digest."

"Yes, that is why Liu Xin'ai had them prepare fresh vegetable noodles with a poached egg on top; it sounds quite good."

Qin Yiyan was restraining himself.

He still wanted to ignore that name.

But his mother kept bringing it up, making him unable to tolerate it any longer.

Finally, he grumbled, "She really does like to act on her own authority!"

Chi Rong did not think so.

She retorted, "This is not acting on her own authority, but acting with reason and evidence. It is just that... Liu Xin'ai considers things a step ahead of you."

This "step ahead"...

made Qin Yiyan very unhappy.

But he did not say anything more and simply left Chi Rong's room.

Chi Rong watched his back and shook her head gently.

In her view, Liu Xin'ai was a good girl who deserved to be cherished by her husband.

If her son knew how to respect and care for others, Chi Rong could still shamelessly try to help him win her over.

But if he continued to be like this...

Then he might as well stay single for the rest of his life!

Qin Yiyan did not yet know that his mother looked down on him.

He went to the kitchen with a dark expression.

He discovered that the kitchen staff had indeed prepared a bowl of noodles.

Furthermore, the presentation was quite good, appealing in color, aroma, and taste.

Qin Yiyan, however, showed an expression of distaste.

He wanted to have the servants prepare a new portion.

But...

Qin Yiyan suddenly changed his mind and even personally carried the noodles to Bai Yufei.

Bai Yufei's bedroom door was not locked.

At this moment, she was sitting there with a gloomy expression.

Upon noticing someone pushing the door open, she stared over with sharp eyes.

But she discovered that only Qin Yiyan had walked in.

This made Bai Yufei knit her brows and demand, "Where is Liu Xin'ai!?"

"Eat first; once you are finished, I will talk to you."

Bai Yufei had not eaten for a long time.

Before, she had not felt hungry.

But after having just had an argument, which consumed quite a bit of energy, Bai Yufei suddenly wanted to eat.

Looking at the tempting bowl of noodles in front of her, Bai Yufei only hesitated slightly before she began to eat.

After finishing it all, Bai Yufei's body regained some strength.

Even the sound of her voice had more substance: "Can you continue now?"

Qin Yiyan sat upright on the chair, his expression indifferent: "I have already criticized Liu Xin'ai, and she knows she did something wrong."
