Chapter 1345: She Is My Wife
Looking at the thirst for knowledge on Liu Xin'ai's face, Xu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this woman's "straight-A student" attribute hadn't changed one bit.
It was only a pity for herself, having become a firefighter.
Sigh~
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head, then took the book and once again immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge together with Liu Xin'ai.
Because of Qin Yiyan's instructions, dinner at the Qin Family was prepared very sumptuously.
And it was all things Xu Xiaoxiao loved to eat.
Xu Xiaoxiao ate with great delight.
The atmosphere at the dining table was also very harmonious.
Chi Rong sat there, looking at the children with a face full of smiles, feeling very peaceful.
It was just that after dinner, Chi Rong discovered to her surprise...
The servants were moving things from Liu Xin'ai's room.
They weren't moving much, just some pillows and quilts, as well as some books and notebooks.
Chi Rong frowned as she watched; she stopped a servant and asked, "What are you all doing..."
"The Madam told us to move these things to Miss Xu's room."
"So... Xin'ai is going to live with Xiao Xiao?"
"Yes."
Chi Rong looked suspicious, but she didn't ask any further.
She followed the servant to the door of Xu Xiaoxiao's room and discovered that Liu Xin'ai was already inside Xu Xiaoxiao's room at this moment.
The two of them were chatting about something, and laughter drifted out from time to time.
This laughter was very infectious.
But Chi Rong couldn't laugh. She only felt... that something was strange.
Chi Rong furrowed her brows and turned to leave.
But she hadn't walked many steps before she saw her son standing there with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, Chi Rong realized what was wrong:
Liu Xin'ai was Qin Yiyan's wife; even if they weren't sleeping in the same bedroom right now, if she ran off to sleep in someone else's room, Qin Yiyan definitely wouldn't feel comfortable!
Chi Rong understood her son's feelings.
Looking at the expression in Qin Yiyan's eyes right now, she also knew he wanted to go find Liu Xin'ai.
However...
Chi Rong negotiated with Qin Yiyan, "Xin'ai is so happy, just let her be."
Qin Yiyan had just heard those two women discussing sleeping together.
But he had thought it was just a whim.
He hadn't expected...
Qin Yiyan stared at Xu Xiaoxiao's room with resentful eyes, his voice filled with unwillingness: "That is my wife!"
"I know she is your wife, but Xiao Xiao is only staying for a few days anyway, it won't affect anything!"
"That doesn't mean she can hog her."
"After Xin'ai recovered her memory, she hasn't been sleeping in the same room as you anyway, so it doesn't count as hogging."
Chi Rong's original intention was to persuade Qin Yiyan to set his mind at ease.
But Qin Yiyan only felt heartbroken!
He and Liu Xin'ai had not slept together for a long time.
Qin Yiyan had almost forgotten what it felt like to have someone by his side!
If there wasn't a third wheel like Xu Xiaoxiao, Qin Yiyan wouldn't have felt such an intense sense of crisis.
But now...
He felt that his wife's eyes and heart were both filled with someone else, and his status was in jeopardy!
No, he couldn't let this third wheel stay forever!
Qin Yiyan narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.
Chi Rong was very worried that Qin Yiyan would do something extreme, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
But facts proved that Chi Rong had worried too much.
Qin Yiyan didn't do anything; he was the same as before, going to work and relaxing after getting off work.
The only difference was...
In the past, when he came home from work, Liu Xin'ai would greet him like a happy little bird.
But now, she would only say "Hubby, you're back" with a smile whenever they bumped into each other.
Liu Xin'ai's smile was still sweet.
But the time she spent with Xu Xiaoxiao was increasing more and more.
On the surface, Qin Yiyan seemed fine.
But he started running into Xu Xiaoxiao's room for no reason.
This day, Qin Yiyan walked in carrying fruit and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat some fruit?"
Liu Xin'ai stretched, like a little cat, and said, "Hubby, you're so thoughtful, I was just thirsty."
"It seems I appeared at just the right time; here is the cut fruit, one portion for each of you."
"Thank you, Hubby."
This woman saying "Hubby" left and right made Xu Xiaoxiao shiver uncontrollably.
And the next second, she actually saw...
Qin Yiyan was feeding Liu Xin'ai fruit!
Liu Xin'ai felt a bit awkward, especially when she caught Xu Xiaoxiao's ghost-seeing expression in her peripheral vision...
But Qin Yiyan was extremely enthusiastic, feeding her piece after piece.
Discovering traces of fruit on the corner of Liu Xin'ai's mouth, he even took the initiative to help wipe it: "Look at you, eating like a little tabby cat."
Liu Xin'ai wanted to take the tissue to wipe it herself.
But Qin Yiyan dodged it and said, "You can't see, let me do it."
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak up to undermine him: "Is there not such a thing as a mirror in this world?"
"My eyes are Xin'ai's mirror."
Ugh~
So cheesy!
Xu Xiaoxiao was defeated; she decided not to speak nonsense anymore.
Liu Xin'ai, however, felt no discomfort, only her face was flushed red.
"Alright, it's clean, you continue reading."
Liu Xin'ai smiled, then turned her head and lowered it to read.
Xu Xiaoxiao also let out a sigh of relief, thinking this guy was finally going to leave.
But in reality...
She had thought too much!
Qin Yiyan had no intention of leaving at all; instead, he had a servant bring over his laptop.
Then he sat beside Liu Xin'ai to look at work emails.
If this man could look at emails quietly, Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't say anything.
But Qin Yiyan would pinch Liu Xin'ai's cheek, stroke her hair, or squeeze her little hand every now and then.
The movements were ambiguous and cloyingly sweet.
It was so cloying that it made Xu Xiaoxiao nauseous!
And these were just the beginning.
In the following days, Qin Yiyan became increasingly unreserved in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.
Under the sweet interactions of the married couple, Xu Xiaoxiao felt like she was a giant lightbulb!
Yet this lightbulb had nowhere to hide and could only helplessly endure the sweet attacks.
Mentally exhausted, Xu Xiaoxiao discussed with Liu Xin'ai: "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Liu Xin'ai had a hurt expression on her face: "Why? Do I snore or grind my teeth in my sleep and disturb you?"
"You don't disturb me, but Qin Yiyan disturbs me! He's practically dying to become a pendant on your body!"
"Is that so... that's simple, I'll just not let him come into this bedroom."
Xu Xiaoxiao thought Liu Xin'ai was naive.
How could Qin Yiyan possibly stop coming just because of a few words from Liu Xin'ai?
It was just a waste of breath!
But Liu Xin'ai didn't discuss it with Qin Yiyan at all.
She locked the door directly and hung a "Studying, please do not disturb" sign on the outside handle.
Seeing Liu Xin'ai's move, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately gave her a thumbs up!
Thanks to Liu Xin'ai's intelligence, Xu Xiaoxiao's ears had peace for two days.
Life became beautiful again.
But it was only for two days, then the Qin Family welcomed guests.
The ones who came were Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao.
The two of them didn't know Xu Xiaoxiao was living here recently, and when they saw her, they thought Xu Xiaoxiao was also here as a guest.
But after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation, they were immediately full of surprise.
Jiang Baobao felt it was strange, so she found an opportunity to ask Xu Xiaoxiao privately: "Is there some deep meaning behind you coming here to live?"
Xu Xiaoxiao avoided Jiang Baobao's gaze and replied: "It's not really a deep meaning; isn't Xin'ai going to return to the Laboratory? I came to help her with a crash course."
"Then will she overwork her brain and become mentally exhausted?"
Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking to the bottom of a valley.
