Chapter 1358: To Win a Woman Over, You Must Have Endless Tricks

Liu Qingze looked miserable.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Liu Xin'ai also seemed to be veiled in a layer of mist:

"Sister, when you first woke up, you had no sense of security regarding your surroundings and said you wanted to go live at the Qin Family, so I agreed. But you've adapted for so long now, couldn't you also come home to live for a while and look after your poor younger brother?"

Liu Qingze blinked his eyes as he spoke.

He looked extremely innocent.

Liu Xin'ai, however, silently felt a layer of goosebumps rise...

Those two had just been locked in a war of words.

Both sides were trading blows, and Liu Xin'ai couldn't even get a word in.

Moreover, the topic they were discussing... made Liu Xin'ai feel somewhat embarrassed.

But what made her even more embarrassed was that Liu Qingze actually changed the subject and asked her to stay!

Liu Xin'ai had no mental preparation at all.

She could only divert the topic first: "You've already started managing the company, so why are you still acting like a child at home?"

Liu Qingze saw that she was avoiding the topic.

But having finally seized the opportunity, how could he let his sister escape?

Liu Qingze opened his mouth and continued to play the victim: "In front of family, I am just a child! Besides, when a person is sick, they are very fragile and really need the company of their family!"

Qin Yiyan was already tired of this game of pretending to be sick. He prepared to expose Liu Qingze.

But Liu Xin'ai spoke first: "Fine, I'll come back to keep you company."

This decision of hers left both men stunned.

Liu Qingze could see that there had been panic and hesitation in Liu Xin'ai's eyes just a moment ago.

As well as a tiny bit of resistance.

But how did she suddenly change her mind after just one sentence?

He still had many tactics for acting spoiled that he hadn't used yet.

Although they had no place to be used, Liu Qingze was very happy.

The look he cast toward Qin Yiyan was filled with triumph.

And Qin Yiyan, after his surprise, quickly performed an analysis.

Then, he said to Liu Xin'ai: "Why don't I also..."

Liu Xin'ai understood all too well what this guy wanted to do and immediately refused: "No, you stay home and behave, keep Mom company."

The hope of sponging off her was dashed, and Qin Yiyan felt depressed.

Now, he only hoped that the time Liu Xin'ai spent back at her maiden home would be short.

But Liu Qingze opened his mouth and said: "Sister, why don't you come back and live for a month first!"

A month!?

This duration made Qin Yiyan slowly raise his eyes and stare fixedly at Liu Qingze.

And he questioned him with an unfriendly tone: "What kind of illness is this, that it won't be better in a month?"

Liu Qingze said with unearned confidence: "Stomach ailments need to be nursed; a month might not even be enough to get better."

"Then I think you should find a wife to look after you!"

"That's none of your concern."

Liu Qingze rolled his eyes at Qin Yiyan and then arranged for people to go and tidy up the room Liu Xin'ai had previously occupied.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'ai went back with Qin Yiyan to prepare her personal belongings.

Qin Yiyan was extremely reluctant to part with Liu Xin'ai, and on the way back, he still confirmed with her: "Are you really sure there's no problem with you moving over there?"

"Of course there's no problem, this is my home too."

When Liu Xin'ai said this, her expression was very relaxed.

But Qin Yiyan still remembered the reliance she had on him when she first woke up.

Now that Liu Xin'ai had regained her independence, had her reliance on him... also disappeared?

Qin Yiyan suddenly became very dejected.

He had never intended to monopolize Liu Xin'ai; everything was based on her wishes.

But...

After experiencing happiness, he really couldn't bear to let go...

At this moment, Qin Yiyan was in a depressed mood.

So he didn't speak.

And Liu Xin'ai was also silent.

Liu Xin'ai had seen through Liu Qingze's little tricks the moment she saw them.

But she didn't expose him, and instead played along with his act.

She even took the opportunity to agree to move into the Liu Family.

Her reasons for doing this were, on one hand, to see if Liu Qingze was actually eating properly, and on the other hand...

Liu Xin'ai turned her head, quietly glanced at Qin Yiyan, then quickly withdrew her gaze and pressed her lips together tightly.

After Liu Xin'ai returned to the Liu Family, Jiang Chenghao became a frequent visitor there.

But every time he came, it was to look for Liu Qingze.

When he met with Liu Xin'ai, they only chatted briefly.

At the beginning, Liu Qingze thought this was Jiang Chenghao playing hard to get.

But very soon he discovered... this Jiang Chenghao had been indulging all along, and had never intended to capture at all!

This left Liu Qingze unable to understand.

He even sought out Jiang Chenghao in private and asked in confusion, "Look at you, what a great opportunity, why don't you go and chat more with my sister?"

Jiang Chenghao had his own thoughts, and he said, "I don't want to put pressure on her, and the original intention of having her come back was just to keep her away from Qin Yiyan and have a peaceful life."

Hearing this explanation made Liu Qingze sigh repeatedly.

He felt that Jiang Chenghao was just too honest.

When it comes to pursuing women, Jiang Chenghao should learn a thing or two from Qin Yiyan.

One has to have tricks one after another.

Besides, love is inherently selfish, and Jiang Chenghao should consider himself more.

Since he won't consider it, then...

Let Liu Qingze do it!

When Jiang Chenghao came to visit again, Liu Qingze made an excuse about company business and slipped away.

However, he said he would only be gone for half an hour and hoped Jiang Chenghao could wait in the study for a while.

Jiang Chenghao was not busy, so he agreed.

But he hadn't waited long before he heard footsteps at the door.

Turning to look, he saw Liu Xin'ai walking over carrying a tray.

Liu Xin'ai did not expect Jiang Chenghao to be there, so she said in surprise, "When did you arrive?"

Facing Liu Xin'ai, Jiang Chenghao's eyes were gentle: "I just arrived a little while ago."

"Where is Qingze?"

"He had company business and went out."

Hearing this result made Liu Xin'ai frown: "This guy, he said he wanted to eat noodles, and now that they're made, he's run off!"

"I saw that he was in quite a hurry; it must have been something urgent. He said he would be back in half an hour."

"But if I wait half an hour for him, these noodles won't taste good anymore."

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to waste them; she looked at Jiang Chenghao and asked, "Are you hungry? How about... having some?"

Actually, even if Jiang Chenghao weren't hungry, he would still agree.

Because these were noodles cooked by Liu Xin'ai herself!

Jiang Chenghao curled the corners of his mouth and took the chopsticks and the bowl of noodles.

Seeing Jiang Chenghao take a bite, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is it good?"

"Mm, your skills have gotten even better."

Better?

Liu Xin'ai felt curious and asked, "Did I know how to cook before?"

"You did, but you were very busy. When you had time, you were either reading books or doing research; you had no time to spend effort on studying gourmet food."

Liu Xin'ai would occasionally hear friends talk about her past.

Synthesizing everyone's descriptions, how did Liu Xin'ai get the feeling...

"My past life seems to have been very dull."

"It wasn't dull, but the pressure on you was great, and there were burdens around you, which prevented you from being carefree. If the you of the past had been unencumbered, you would surely be just like you are now, as happy as a little princess."

Jiang Chenghao was explaining patiently.

But Liu Xin'ai caught a keyword, tilted her head, and asked, "Burdens?"
