Chapter 1361: Only by being with him can she be happy

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Chenghao took the initiative to ask Qin Yiyan: "Are you here today to visit Xin'ai?"

"Yes, and to tell her that next week is Mother's birthday."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly asked: "Then should we hold a big celebration?"

Qin Yiyan shook his head, his gaze gentle as he explained: "Mother only wants to have a meal with her family."

Have a meal with her family?

Hmph, Qin Yiyan might as well have just said he wanted to take Liu Xin'ai back!

Liu Qingze was secretly complaining to himself.

At the same time, he was also watching Liu Xin'ai, wanting to see how his sister would react.

Liu Xin'ai's reaction was naturally...

Happy!

She smiled and volunteered to Qin Yiyan: "I can cook longevity noodles for Mother; my cooking skills have improved greatly recently!"

Qin Yiyan glanced at the empty bowl on the table, then said with a touch of melancholy: "When will I be able to taste your cooking?"

"It's not hard to want noodles; I can cook them for you anytime. How about now?"

Hmm...

In the current atmosphere, it really wasn't suitable for eating.

It would cause indigestion.

So Qin Yiyan refused: "You keep practicing, and when we get home, I'll taste them."

Liu Xin'ai didn't think much of it and agreed with a smile.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiyan's gaze fell upon the carving knife.

That thing was truly an eyesore...

However, when Qin Yiyan looked up, he opened his mouth to say to Jiang Chenghao: "You don't mind if I take this back to continue carving, do you?"

Not mind?

Heh, how could Jiang Chenghao possibly not mind!

He even wanted to ask how Qin Yiyan could be so thick-skinned!!

Liu Qingze couldn't watch anymore either, and he blurted out: "This was originally meant for my sister, how can you have the nerve to take it away!"

Hearing this, Qin Yiyan's gaze slowly fell upon Liu Qingze's face.

And he asked: "Is Qing Ze a prophet? How did you know this was for your sister?"

This question made Liu Qingze panic instantly.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately thought of a response: "Because... I heard Jiang Chenghao say before that he wanted to teach my sister how to carve things!"

"So that's how it is." Qin Yiyan nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

Afterward, he took the opportunity to say to Jiang Chenghao: "Thank you for the things you prepared for Xin'ai; she likes them very much, but to avoid her getting hurt again, let me help her finish them."

After finishing, Qin Yiyan did not forget to ask for Liu Xin'ai's opinion.

Liu Xin'ai still wanted to try again.

But if she brought it up now, she would definitely be opposed by Qin Yiyan.

It would be better to let Qin Yiyan take the things back first, and she would find another opportunity to learn again another day.

Having calculated this in her heart, Liu Xin'ai nodded without hesitation.

Having obtained Liu Xin'ai's permission, Qin Yiyan didn't even look at Jiang Chenghao again.

He leaned over and packed up the carving tools and wood.

Preparing to go home...

And throw it all away!

Liu Xin'ai did not know Qin Yiyan's little scheme.

She was even helping out on the side.

Watching the scene before him, Jiang Chenghao couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

He had finally found an opportunity to get close to Liu Xin'ai and help her relax.

But what was the result?

It was all ruined by Qin Yiyan!

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as Qin Yiyan did whatever he wanted, then swaggered away.

This feeling...

Was truly infuriating!

Taking advantage of his sister going to see Qin Yiyan out, Liu Qingze said earnestly to Jiang Chenghao: "See that? If you don't seize the opportunity to show yourself, it really won't work."

Jiang Chenghao had already seized the opportunity.

But...

"Qin Yiyan has really changed."

In the past, Qin Yiyan was overbearing and unreasonable, making people so angry their teeth itched.

And now, Qin Yiyan had all sorts of tricks, yet he was still...

Making people so angry their teeth itched!

Liu Qingze agreed with Jiang Chenghao's words.

He sighed: "Are we really just going to watch Qin Yiyan do whatever he wants?"

Of course not!

Jiang Chenghao thought for a while, then said: "Old Madam Qin is having a birthday and only wants to invite family, so by that logic, you count as her family, right?"

Liu Qingze was quick-witted; as soon as he heard Jiang Chenghao say this, he understood what he was calculating.

Immediately, Liu Qingze patted his chest and made a promise: "I will take my sister to attend the family banquet, and then I will bring her back!"

Jiang Chenghao hoped that Liu Qingze could keep his word.

But wherever Qin Yiyan was, there would be full of variables.

Jiang Chenghao had to remind Liu Qingze: "The Old Madam certainly won't be willing to let Xin'ai return, and with Qin Yiyan assisting, I'm afraid you will encounter obstacles."

"Then I'll just say I'm sick and need my sister to take care of me."

"What if the Old Madam uses that trick too? Compared to your young and strong body, it is obvious that the Old Madam needs Liu Xin'ai more."

This...

Liu Qingze hadn't considered that, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Chenghao sighed: "If that is truly the case, don't make things difficult for Xin'ai; just let nature take its course."

Let nature take its course?

Wouldn't the result then be favorable to Qin Yiyan?!

Liu Qingze felt that Jiang Chenghao was too selfless.

He didn't want to let Liu Xin'ai suffer even the slightest grievance.

Only by being with such a person could Liu Xin'ai have any happiness to speak of.

As for that Qin Yiyan...

The moment Liu Qingze thought of that guy's name, he immediately showed an expression of disdain.

He felt that he was simply not qualified to be compared with the selfless Jiang Chenghao.

But what Liu Qingze didn't know was that Jiang Chenghao...

also had his own calculations.

Jiang Chenghao could feel that ever since Liu Xin'ai woke up, there had been a barrier between them.

A barrier that belonged only to the two of them.

If it could not be dissolved, then no matter what Jiang Chenghao did, it would be in vain.

Jiang Chenghao coming to the Liu Family these days was actually to use his own methods to dissolve that invisible thing.

As of now, it had already been effective.

But the appearance of Qin Yiyan...

had completely disrupted his plan!

But Jiang Chenghao would not sit and wait for death.

After a brief moment of restlessness, he calmed down.

Then he discussed with Liu Qingze how to act on the day of the birthday family banquet.

On the day of Chi Rong's birthday, the Qin Family did not make a big fuss.

They only had the kitchen prepare a sumptuous meal.

Liu Xin'ai had wanted to return to the Qin Family earlier.

But Liu Qingze dawdled and insisted on dragging it out until the afternoon before they went back.

As soon as she entered the Qin Family, Liu Xin'ai unexpectedly saw Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao had been invited by Chi Rong, and at this moment, she was sitting on the sofa with Chi Rong, chatting happily.

However, when Xu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Xin'ai, she immediately stood up and went to greet her.

She held Liu Xin'ai's hand and said with a bit of complaint: "Why did you come so late? I wanted to chat with you for a while longer!"

Regarding why she came so late...

Liu Xin'ai looked to her side.

Liu Qingze guiltily looked away, then carried the gift box and offered his congratulations to Chi Rong.

Although there was a grudge between Liu Qingze and Chi Rong, today was a good day, so Liu Qingze temporarily put the grievances aside and smiled festively.

Chi Rong was even less likely to keep nitpicking with a junior; she warmly invited Liu Qingze to sit down and taste the snacks and nuts on the table.
