Chapter 1282: Happiness is Only Fleeting

Qin Yiyan sat for a while longer before gently walking out of the hospital room.

He drove back home.

Inside the house, it was quiet.

Even the servants walking by seemed to make no sound.

Qin Yiyan walked up the stairs and discovered that Bai Yufei's bedroom door was open.

This made him frown; he grabbed a passing servant and asked, "Who told you to open that door!?"

"It was... the Madam."

This answer kept Qin Yiyan from pursuing the matter further.

Releasing the servant, he lifted his feet and walked step by step toward Bai Yufei's bedroom.

Hearing footsteps, Bai Yufei immediately pretended to be packing her things.

As the person behind her walked into the room, she turned her head and said with a serious face, "I know what you want to say, but don't you dare try to pin Mom's injury on me!"

Chi Rong getting injured.

It was an accident.

But isn't the answer to who made Mom so angry obvious?

Bai Yufei's denial was meaningless.

On the contrary, Qin Yiyan felt his heart turn cold because Bai Yufei was so eager to distance herself.

He approached Bai Yufei step by step and asked, "At a time like this, shouldn't you be concerned about Mom's condition first?"

Bai Yufei was stunned.

She had indeed overlooked this question.

But Bai Yufei would not admit it; once she regained her composure, she stubbornly said, "Mom must be fine, otherwise you wouldn't have that look on your face."

Qin Yiyan smiled faintly.

This younger sister of his was very smart.

But she was also very cold.

When she applied this coldness to her own family...

It was truly hurtful.

Before now, Qin Yiyan had always silently endured it.

But now...

He looked at the luggage Bai Yufei had packed and asked, "Are you really leaving?"

"That's right!"

"No regrets?"

"Absolutely no regrets!"

"Fine, I will let you go. If you can't carry your things, I'll have someone help you."

Qin Yiyan's words made Bai Yufei look over in disbelief.

Under her unblinking stare, Qin Yiyan said unhurriedly, "We have already done everything we could for you, but you have never appreciated it. Since that's the case, then... please, go ahead."

Qin Yiyan's words made Bai Yufei feel a chill run through her entire body.

The reason Bai Yufei dared to make such a scene was that she was certain the Qin Family would not abandon her.

But now...

Qin Yiyan clearly intended to give up and stop caring!

How... how could he be like this!?

Bai Yufei's eyes slowly turned red.

The moment her tears fell, she tilted her head back and shouted, "Actually, you've wanted to shake off this burden of mine for a long time. Now that you see me leaving on my own, you must be feeling very smug!"

Even at a time like this, Bai Yufei was still... misinterpreting their intentions.

Qin Yiyan truly felt his kindness had been misplaced!

He closed his eyes.

When he opened them, his tone was surprisingly calm: "You are not satisfied with the kindness we have shown you, so I can only hope you find someone who satisfies you."

"I will definitely live very well, happier than any of you!!"

Bai Yufei shouted, then dragged her suitcase and left, crying.

After a while, the butler walked in and asked cautiously, "Sir, are you really letting the young lady leave like this?"

Qin Yiyan remained in his previous posture, his voice steady and without fluctuation: "Forcing her to stay only breeds resentment, and she cannot see our good intentions. If we don't let go, what else can we do?"

"But the young lady left so suddenly, where will she stay?"

"She will go to a hotel first."

"Staying in a hotel forever is not a long-term solution, though."

Indeed, a hotel was only a transition.

Afterward, Bai Yufei would need to find a stable place to live.

But if this residence were provided by Qin Yiyan, she certainly wouldn't accept it.

Qin Yiyan thought for a moment and made a decision: "I will buy a new property and pass the keys to her through Fei'er's friend."

The butler saw that Qin Yiyan had made up his mind and said nothing more.

Qin Yiyan looked around the room and arranged, "Clean this place up, and don't let anyone else come in."

"Yes."

"You may go."

The housekeeper left in silence.

Qin Yiyan stared out the window, his eyes deep and dark.

Although Bai Yufei loved to act spoiled, she had strong self-care abilities, so Qin Yiyan did not worry about her daily life.

He only worried that... Fang Yijing would take the opportunity to pester Bai Yufei.

In that case...

He had to find a time to have a talk with the old man of the Fang Family!

On her first night back at the Liu Family, Liu Xin'ai slept very soundly.

She did not dream at all, sleeping straight until dawn.

Opening her eyes, Liu Xin'ai stretched comfortably.

After sitting up, Liu Xin'ai discovered a breakfast by the table.

The breakfast was very sumptuous, enough to make anyone's mouth water at the sight of it.

But, why was the food placed here?

Liu Xin'ai pushed the door open and walked out, stopping a servant to ask, "What is this breakfast about?"

"It was sent over by the young master before he went to the company, so that you could eat as soon as you woke up."

Liu Qingze's thoughtfulness made Liu Xin'ai purse her lips.

Afterwards, she asked again, "Did Qingze go to the company so early?"

"Yes, the young master has been very diligent since he started managing the company."

"Then, has he eaten breakfast?"

"He has. Even when the young master is busy, he tries his best to eat on time, and after returning home, he also makes time to exercise."

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently.

She thought to herself that her younger brother had truly become sensible and mature.

As for herself...

She was actually quite hungry at this moment.

After washing up, Liu Xin'ai sat down to enjoy her breakfast.

Without that annoying fellow by her side, Liu Xin'ai's appetite had even improved.

In the end, she ate all the food completely.

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit stuffed and decided to go for a walk in the garden.

But just as she went downstairs, she heard voices talking below.

And it was not just one or two people talking.

The sound of everyone speaking...

Why did it sound more and more familiar?

Liu Xin'ai quickened her pace.

When she walked into the living room, she immediately revealed a smile: "Why have you all come!?"

At this moment, three women were sitting in the living room.

They were none other than Jiang Baobao, Cai Xiaotang, and Xu Xiaoxiao!

Hearing Liu Xin'ai's voice, they all turned their heads.

Jiang Baobao even said, "Hearing from your brother that you escaped the sea of bitterness, we naturally came to celebrate for you!"

Qing Ze told everyone?

Sigh, that kid, he really cannot keep a secret.

Right now, she was still far from completely escaping the sea of bitterness!

However...

The happiness at this moment was so real.

None of them poked through that layer of window paper.

Instead, the smiles on everyone's faces were very bright.

Liu Xin'ai discovered many bags of various sizes on the floor and asked, "These are..."

Cai Xiaotang said as a matter of course, "Since it's a celebration, there must be gifts!"

"Sigh, you all could have just come, there was no need to buy so many things."

"It's not much, just some small snacks, everyone will finish them off in a while."

Small snacks?

Liu Xin'ai pointed to several large boxes and asked, "Then what about these?"

"They are prepared for you and Baobao."

These words left Liu Xin'ai stunned.

The next second, she had to remind Cai Xiaotang: "But, you have already sent so many things one after another."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible hand were pressing down on everyone's shoulders.
