Chapter 1338: Not Wanting to Scare Her

The other person asked again: "Then what is the use of this thing you've developed?"

"Naturally, it's for those who need it."

Hmm...

The reason Liu Xin'ai gave sounded very much like nonsense.

But thinking about it carefully, isn't the ultimate goal of the medicine they develop to prepare it for those who need it?

So, Liu Xin'ai's words were not wrong either.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai focused on conducting tests, the other person found it inappropriate to disturb her further and left silently.

And once no one was there to disturb her, Liu Xin'ai finished her work even faster.

After completing the entire drug testing process, Liu Xin'ai let out a light sigh of relief.

This was the first time she had independently completed drug manufacturing since losing her memory.

The results were gratifying!

She did not delay any time; after leaving the Laboratory, she called Qin Yiyan.

Confirming that he was still at the Qin Family, Liu Xin'ai hurried back to the Qin Family Villa.

Qin Yiyan knew that Liu Xin'ai had been busy in the Laboratory lately.

Once Liu Xin'ai got busy, the time the two of them spent together became much less.

But Qin Yiyan was very gratified, because Liu Xin'ai had found something she liked to do, and her whole person had become radiant.

But what Qin Yiyan did not expect was that Liu Xin'ai would return suddenly.

And in her hand, she was holding a medicine bottle.

"This is for you!"

Looking at the medicine bottle extended in front of him, Qin Yiyan had a bewildered expression.

Qin Yiyan looked at the unlabeled medicine bottle, then let his gaze fall onto Liu Xin'ai's face and asked: "This is..."

"A medicine that can make one's heart and mind firm!"

Qin Yiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked uncertainly: "This medicine... can also control a person's emotions?"

"It's not controlling a person's emotions; it just makes one clear-hearted and few-desires!"

Clear-hearted and few-desires...

Qin Yiyan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition emerged.

But he did not show it, only saying very calmly: "I am already clear-hearted and few-desires enough."

This was no lie; otherwise, Qin Yiyan would not have been able to refrain from making intimate gestures toward her ever since Liu Xin'ai returned.

Heaven knows how much Qin Yiyan's heart itched with desire while looking at the completely unguarded Liu Xin'ai!

Liu Xin'ai did not know Qin Yiyan's thoughts.

After hearing Qin Yiyan's words, she leaned over and said earnestly: "You may be clear-hearted and few-desires, but if you are out socializing and someone uses drugs on you, you will be unable to defend against it!"

Using drugs...

Qin Yiyan's gaze tightened.

The unease in his heart grew even stronger.

Yet Liu Xin'ai was full of excitement: "In such times, you only need to take one pill to suppress your agitated emotions, regain your composure, and stay away from women's harassment!"

Qin Yiyan slowly emerged from the fog.

He thought he knew what the meaning behind Liu Xin'ai's strange behavior was!

Qin Yiyan's mood was turbulent.

However, he still tried to use a calm tone to ask: "Who said something to you?"

Liu Xin'ai's lips moved, about to say the answer.

But at the critical moment, she pressed her lips together tightly again.

After a little thought, she said: "You are so famous, and I am always going in and out of the company, so naturally, I will hear some... gossip."

Liu Xin'ai answered very cautiously because she did not want to implicate others.

But Qin Yiyan dared to be certain that someone had said something to her!

Qin Yiyan lowered his eyes, a cold glint flashing in their depths.

He secretly told himself that sooner or later, he would find the person who was wagging their tongue!

But for now... Qin Yiyan needed to patch a loophole left from before.

He still remembered what he had casually said to Liu Xin'ai at the restaurant last time.

Liu Xin'ai was meticulous, so she surely remembered it too.

Since that was the case...

Qin Yiyan turned his head and met Liu Xin'ai's gaze.

Then he said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I lied to you about that Miss Zhang incident before; actually, that wasn't the first time I'd been harassed by a woman."

Liu Xin'ai did not expect Qin Yiyan to apologize; she had thought that both of them had tacitly agreed that the matter was in the past.

However, Qin Yiyan's admission made Liu Xin'ai very happy.

She felt that she had been respected and trusted.

As for the lying...

Liu Xin'ai felt relieved.

She even said to Qin Yiyan with a smile: "No need to apologize, I can understand how you feel."

"You understand?"

Liu Xin'ai nodded and began to analyze it seriously: "You are a man; being harassed by a woman, you must feel embarrassed. Telling a white lie to save face is forgivable."

Liu Xin'ai's reply was truly understanding and reasonable.

Yet it made Qin Yiyan's expression stiffen.

The reason he... hadn't told Liu Xin'ai the truth was absolutely not this!

Qin Yiyan wanted to explain.

But he worried that the more he explained, the messier it would get, and if things went wrong, they would both end up very awkward.

So...

Forget it!

Qin Yiyan forcibly accepted this result, then smiled and changed the subject: "Can this medicine really be effective?"

"Of course, I performed a drug analysis on myself; it is effective!"

Liu Xin'ai was giving Qin Yiyan a reassurance, wanting to put his mind at ease.

But after hearing this, Qin Yiyan... felt his heart rise instead!

He even said somewhat nervously: "How could you take medicine indiscriminately? You were previously because of..."

Halfway through his sentence, Qin Yiyan abruptly closed his lips.

But worry and concern drifted out from his eyes.

Liu Xin'ai knew what Qin Yiyan was worried about.

However, Liu Xin'ai felt he was overthinking it, so she explained: "This isn't taking medicine indiscriminately. Before taking the medicine, I watched horror movies and comedies, and my heartbeat was irregular. But after taking one pill, all my emotions calmed down immediately! And this medicine won't cause damage to the body, you can rest assured!"

How could Qin Yiyan possibly rest assured?

He also couldn't bear to reproach Liu Xin'ai, so he could only instruct her with a serious expression: "In the future, you are not allowed to take medicine indiscriminately again, no matter the reason!"

Because Qin Yiyan's expression was too serious, Liu Xin'ai was stunned.

Then, she carefully probed: "Yiyan, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry at you; I just feel... that I am very incompetent."

Liu Xin'ai saw that Qin Yiyan was again feeling sentimental about past events.

But she didn't want to see him like this, so she hurriedly grasped Qin Yiyan's wrist and made a promise: "I will be obedient in the future, don't be unhappy anymore!"

Qin Yiyan looked down at the delicate hand on his wrist, and his tense heart slowly became soft.

His gaze moved slowly upward along that hand.

Finally, it landed on Liu Xin'ai's face.

He stared at Liu Xin'ai without blinking, his voice somewhat hoarse: "Then you must keep your word."

"Of course I will keep my word!"

To prevent Qin Yiyan from not believing her, Liu Xin'ai even reached out to make a guarantee.

At the same time, her face was full of smiles.

This smile made Qin Yiyan feel like he was going to be intoxicated!

And...

There was something in his body that was stirring!

But Qin Yiyan didn't want to scare Liu Xin'ai.

He shifted his gaze, gave a light cough, and changed the subject: "This bottle of medicine must have also required Professor Shen's help, right?"
