Chapter 1308: It Was You Who Seduced Me

Liu Xin'ai did not know what scheme Bai Yufei was plotting; she held her phone and said unhurriedly, "And then?"

"Can you... can you help me put in a good word?"

"This is your family's business; it wouldn't be appropriate for me to say too much."

Fearing that Liu Xin'ai would not care, Bai Yufei hurriedly added, "But Mother likes you! One word from you is more effective than a hundred from anyone else!"

"I actually think you should just go back directly; I believe the Qin Family will be very happy to welcome you."

The tone of Liu Xin'ai's voice was very flat.

But it was precisely this flatness that made Bai Yufei burn with rage!

Bai Yufei felt that she had already lowered her status, so Liu Xin'ai should have chatted according to her wishes!

But what about now?

That woman was clearly trying to stay out of it!

But Bai Yufei would not give her the chance to stay out of it!

Her eyes rolled, and Bai Yufei put on a pitiful attitude again, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm worried that if I speak and act according to my own ideas, I might end up being disliked anyway, so can you come and teach me?"

"Teach you?"

"Yes, just teach me how to make Mother like me as much as she likes you!"

Liu Xin'ai felt that this was not right, so she spoke up to correct her: "The person Mother likes the most is you, the one she is most concerned about..."

"Hello? Sister-in-law, the signal isn't very good. Why don't we talk in person, okay?"

Liu Xin'ai did not agree immediately.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then let's set a time."

"Then come to my place tomorrow. Once we've finished talking, I'll go find Mother to apologize!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yufei hurriedly gave an address.

Liu Xin'ai silently memorized it and then hung up the phone.

She knew her decision was very risky.

But she always felt that Fang Yijing's disappearance had something to do with Bai Yufei. Moreover, she now needed to find a way to counter Qin Yiyan, and perhaps meeting with Bai Yufei would give her some clues.

However...

Going to meet Bai Yufei alone was always too dangerous.

Liu Xin'ai decided to find someone to accompany her.

As for who...

Liu Xin'ai found a number in her phone and dialed it.

The next day—

Liu Xin'ai was just about to go out when she saw from the window...

Qin Yiyan's car!?

Liu Xin'ai's heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked quickly to the front gate.

At this moment, Qin Yiyan had already stepped out of the car.

He was looking at his watch, seemingly preparing to time something.

Yet at this very moment—

"What are you here for?!"

The voice coming from in front made the corners of Qin Yiyan's mouth curl up.

Afterwards, he looked up and said to the woman walking toward him, "Liu Qingze must be very troubled lately, right?"

"So, are you here to watch the joke?"

"After all, I am his brother-in-law; how could I watch a joke? Naturally, I'm here to help him."

After Qin Yiyan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin'ai with deep eyes: "The Liu Family is currently teetering in the wind and rain; whether it can be saved depends on how you choose."

Hah, this guy just says things nicely!

And he even lets her choose...

Does she have a choice?!

And also...

"Qin Yiyan, is intimidation the only trick you know?!"

Qin Yiyan did not get angry because of Liu Xin'ai's terrible attitude.

On the contrary, looking at the vibrant woman in front of him, he suddenly felt that his empty heart was filled with something.

That thing was soft and warm, making the tone of Qin Yiyan's voice become a few degrees gentler: "No matter what method is used, as long as it's effective, that's enough."

Although Qin Yiyan's tone was very gentle, paired with the content he was saying at this moment...

It was clearly a provocation!

Liu Xin'ai clenched her fists and shouted indignantly: "But this time, you are destined to return disappointed!"

"The one who is truly disappointed is you, right? Do you know what Liu Qingze is facing?"

"I know. Our project is stalled, so we'll find new partners. You withdraw your capital, we'll find others to invest. If the efficiency is low, we'll reorganize. In short, all roads lead to Rome; we don't absolutely need you!"

Liu Xin'ai's rebuttal was resounding.

Qin Yiyan looked at her like this and felt...

Liu Xin'ai had become different.

More vibrant, but also more...

Impossible to get a handle on.

Qin Yiyan did not like this feeling; he lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't reined you in for a while, and you've become increasingly presumptuous."

"I can be even more brazen!"

"Heh, alright then, I'll wait and see."

Liu Xin'ai did not care whether he would wait and see or not!

But Liu Qingze was about to leave for work, and if the two of them ran into each other...

Wouldn't it be like Mars colliding with Earth!?

To prevent that situation from happening, Liu Xin'ai urged, "If there's nothing else, leave quickly. If Qingze sees you, he'll inevitably resort to fists and kicks."

Qin Yiyan did not take these words to heart; instead, he shook his head and sighed, "You're already a manager of a company, yet you're still so easily agitated?"

"Not everyone is like you, able to control their emotions so well, especially in front of outsiders!"

Liu Xin'ai's words carried a bit of personal grievance.

But the next second, Liu Xin'ai suddenly became nervous!

Because she heard the sound of a car engine!

This was truly terrible now!

Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips, her mind racing.

Afterwards...

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly dragged Qin Yiyan behind a tree and hid him.

"What are you..."

Before Qin Yiyan could finish his sentence, Liu Xin'ai turned back and made a shushing gesture at him.

Because of this action, Qin Yiyan did not speak.

His attention was entirely drawn to the woman in front of him.

His nose was even catching the scent that belonged uniquely to her.

Qin Yiyan had never been willing to admit that he missed Liu Xin'ai.

But at this moment...

Deep in his heart where no one could see, Qin Yiyan had to admit one thing:

During the days Liu Xin'ai had been gone, he had missed her.

And what about Liu Xin'ai? Would she miss him too?

As soon as this question popped up, Qin Yiyan revealed a self-deprecating smile.

There was no need to ask at all; the answer was definitely... negative.

Liu Qingze's car had already driven out of the gate and was gradually moving away.

Confirming that Liu Qingze could not see this side, Liu Xin'ai prepared to step out from behind the tree.

But as soon as she turned her head, she discovered...

Qin Yiyan was almost pressed against her body!

Liu Xin'ai immediately pushed Qin Yiyan away and scolded, "What are you doing!?"

"You were the one seducing me just now, and you're asking me what I'm doing?"

Seducing...

This was clearly twisting the truth!

Liu Xin'ai suppressed her anger as she explained, "I clearly didn't want you to run into my brother and trigger a conflict!"

Qin Yiyan naturally knew the reason behind this.

But he...

Just wanted to say it like that.

Qin Yiyan felt this was quite childish.

It completely went against his principles of doing things.

Clearing his throat, Qin Yiyan pretended that nothing had just happened.

Then he returned to the main topic: "Qingze is still not mature enough and needs someone to guide him. If he could cooperate with me, there would be many benefits, but to oppose me..."

Qin Yiyan did not finish his sentence and looked at Liu Xin'ai.

Then he added, "You should know what the result would be."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold, and the air seemed to freeze.
