Chapter 1347: Truly a Difficult Request

Xu Xiaoxiao lifted her chin and immediately retorted with righteous indignation: "I want to spend more time with my good friend, is that not allowed?"

"It is allowed, but given your personality, you wouldn't do something as absurd as showing up to stay at someone else's house; someone must have asked you to do it."

Qin Yiyan's tone was certain.

And his analysis made Xu Xiaoxiao secretly admire him, feeling that he was indeed the Qin Yiyan she knew.

Xu Xiaoxiao guessed that Qin Yiyan must have grasped some evidence before coming to her to lay his cards on the table.

Since that was the case, Xu Xiaoxiao's rebuttal seemed very pale and a complete waste of breath.

So she simply stopped rebutting and threw the question back at Qin Yiyan: "Then can you guess who suggested this to me?"

"Jiang Chenghao."

Qin Yiyan gave the correct answer immediately, direct and crisp.

And his crispness made Xu Xiaoxiao purse her lips, her expression filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Qin Yiyan's demeanor, however, became increasingly relaxed.

He even said: "This isn't hard to guess; among the few of you, only Jiang Chenghao's mind could plot something like this."

When he said this, there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Considering Qin Yiyan's style of doing things...

Xu Xiaotiao's heart raced, and she hurriedly urged: "Stay calm, don't get into a conflict with Jiang Chenghao, otherwise Xin'ai will be put in a difficult position!"

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow and looked over, asking in a leisurely manner: "Do you think I'm going to teach Jiang Chenghao a lesson?"

"Yes!" Xu Xiaoxiao said without hesitation.

Qin Yiyan chuckled: "Rest assured, I won't touch him, and even if I really wanted to teach him a lesson, it wouldn't be something that could change my mind just because of a word from you."

"Then why did you call me here, just to confirm it?"

"Besides that, there is one more thing."

Qin Yiyan did not say it directly, but took a deep breath, and a sense of gravity suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Seeing him like this made Xu Xiaoxiao vaguely feel...

He might be about to say something major!

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel nervous, and her voice dropped: "What is it?"

"Can you teach me... how to accompany Xin'ai when she goes shopping."

Xu Xiaoxiao:...

She was silent for a moment, and seeing that Qin Yiyan had no intention of continuing, she asked: "Just this one thing?"

"Yes."

Qin Yiyan responded softly, then felt Xu Xiaoxiao staring at him up and down.

There was also a sense of scrutiny in her eyes.

Qin Yiyan did not like being looked at like this; he frowned slightly and asked: "What, can't you teach me?"

"It's not that I can't teach you, but does this even need teaching!? If you see something you like, just buy it, it's that simple."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that Qin Yiyan's request was very strange.

It could also be called an unnecessary move.

But what seemed simple to her was an insurmountable chasm for Qin Yiyan!

Qin Yiyan frowned and said quite distressed: "But the things I pick out for Xin'ai are never liked by her."

"Is that so? Then that's a matter of taste, I can't give advice on that."

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she felt Qin Yiyan staring at her coldly.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao very helpless, and she explained: "I'm not showing off, I really can't teach you. Think about it, you're a man, your eye for things is just different from a woman's, so isn't it normal that you can't offer suggestions that hit the mark?"

After hearing this, Qin Yiyan fell into deep thought.

He admitted that Xu Xiaoxiao's words made sense.

However...

Qin Yiyan raised his eyes and put forward his own thought: "I want to make Xin'ai happier when she goes shopping."

Happier?

That was even simpler.

Xu Xiaoxiao asked: "Have you complimented her?"

These simple words made Qin Yiyan pause.

He hurriedly thought back to the process of that day's shopping...

"It seems not."

"You actually didn't compliment her? Heavens, I was originally going to teach you how to compliment someone right to their heart, but it turns out you didn't even compliment her..."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked helpless.

But this couldn't be blamed on Qin Yiyan's carelessness.

After all, in the past, it was always others complimenting Qin Yiyan.

Facing Xu Xiaoxiao's speechlessness, Qin Yiyan patiently asked: "Then how should I compliment people?"

"It depends on the specific situation. If Xin'ai is looking at new clothes, you should compliment her skin for being fair, her figure for being good, and say she looks good in anything. If she's looking at jewelry, pick the most expensive one, because only expensive things can set off her temperament, and so on."

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished, she thought of something and added: "These are the simplest, rather blunt methods; once you master these, then you can compliment the details."

"What details?"

"For example, if Xin'ai has a pretty neck, when she wears a necklace, you can compliment the beautiful curve of her shoulders and neck."

Qin Yiyan listened very seriously, not missing a single word.

He even followed up on Xu Xiaoxiao's words and expanded: "If she wears a ruby ring, I should say this ring makes her fingers look slender and her skin tone look good."

"Oh my, not bad, you've even learned to draw inferences about other cases from one instance!"

Facing Xu Xiaoxiao's praise, Qin Yiyan said calmly, "I just bought some ruby jewelry for Liu Xin'ai today, so I'm just applying what I learned."

This answer...

Made Xu Xiaoxiao curl her lips.

She thought to herself that rich people really are extravagant!

While Xu Xiaoxiao was sighing with emotion, Qin Yiyan asked a question: "Aren't you a psychologist? How come you've also done a lot of research on how to compliment people?"

"It is precisely because I am a psychologist that I know what women want in the depths of their hearts."

"Then... what does Liu Xin'ai want in the depths of her heart?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Yiyan with deep eyes: "Attention and respect."

These five words made Qin Yiyan's expression somewhat dazed.

For a moment, he did not speak.

Xu Xiaoxiao then continued: "In the past, you didn't know how to show respect, so you and Liu Xin'ai drifted apart. Now, you are willing to change yourself, so Liu Xin'ai is also willing to draw closer to you."

"Then after Liu Xin'ai recovers her memory... will it still be like this?"

"Hey, I'm a psychologist, not a fortune teller, how would I know?"

Xu Xiaoxiao could not provide an answer, and Qin Yiyan did not show any change in emotion.

Perhaps, deep in his heart, he hadn't expected Xu Xiaoxiao to give a definitive answer either.

However, after chatting with Xu Xiaoxiao, Qin Yiyan's confused heart felt a bit more settled.

He even generously promised Xu Xiaoxiao: "As long as you don't stir up any trouble, you can stay as long as you like."

Heh, as if anyone wants to keep living here forever!

Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be able to stay for too long.

But she hoped that during this final period, she could be a bit more comfortable.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoxiao made a suggestion to Qin Yiyan: "Can you control yourself a bit?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"It's just... don't act like you're going to devour Liu Xin'ai alive every time you encounter her."

Qin Yiyan also wanted to control himself.

But ever since that intimate contact that day, Qin Yiyan seemed to have become obsessed, always wanting to get close to Liu Xin'ai to feel her warmth and softness.

But because Xu Xiaoxiao was there, Qin Yiyan only made some small, affectionate gestures.

Now he couldn't even have those small actions?

That Xu Xiaoxiao was really making things difficult!

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
