Chapter 1368: Whether One Can Remember the Past Is Not Important

Qin Yiyan was quite satisfied with Xiao'an's preparations.

However...

"Besides taking care of Xin'ai, you have another task."

Xiao'an stared fixedly at Qin Yiyan and asked, "What is it?"

"You must supervise Jiang Chenghao and not let him find any opportunity to get close to Xin'ai!"

This task...

It was too important!

Xiao'an's expression became serious, and she promised, "Rest assured, as long as I, Xiao'an, am around, I will definitely keep Jiang Chenghao at a distance of more than two meters from Madam!"

Xiao'an was not one to boast; since she had given her word, she would strive to fulfill it.

But Qin Yiyan did not feel at ease because of Xiao'an's promise.

Instead, he cautioned Xiao'an: "Don't let your guard down; this man, Jiang Chenghao, is very calculating."

That Jiang Chenghao only looked like a modest gentleman.

In reality? He was very purposeful.

The simple-minded Xiao'an... might not be his match.

However, Xiao'an did not think so.

At this moment, she was full of energy!

Because she was somewhat excited, Xiao'an remained high-spirited even after she and Liu Xin'ai got into the car.

Liu Xin'ai noticed Xiao'an's unusual behavior and said, "Did you run into some happy event?"

"No."

"Then why are you so... um..."

Liu Xin'ai did not quite know how to describe it.

Just as Liu Xin'ai was searching for the right words to describe it, Xiao'an began her chatter.

And the subject of her speech was entirely related to Qin Yiyan.

Such as how much Qin Yiyan missed Liu Xin'ai during the time she was away.

Hearing that Liu Xin'ai was interested in wood carving, how Qin Yiyan secretly practiced at home.

Upon learning that Liu Xin'ai would return to celebrate Old Madam's birthday, how Qin Yiyan was as happy as a child...

And so on.

Those details were things Liu Xin'ai did not know.

She accidentally became dazed while listening.

Xiao'an's mouth was dry from talking, but when she looked up, she found Liu Xin'ai's eyes were vacant.

This made Xiao'an unable to resist reaching out and waving her hand in front of Liu Xin'ai: "Madam, are you listening to me?"

"Mm, I'm listening."

"Then why don't you have any comments?"

Comments?

Hmm...

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and said, "What you described is quite cheesy."

Huh?

She had said so much, only to get this one sentence in return?

Xiao'an was very depressed.

She felt her painstaking efforts had been wasted.

And...

How was it cheesy? She was just evaluating it truthfully!

Xiao'an pursed her lips unhappily, feeling that Madam's state today was a bit strange.

And she was always absent-minded.

Could it be...

Xiao'an thought of something, quickly sat up straight, and pressed, "Did you drink too much alcohol last night and are now feeling muddled?"

"Hm? Oh, I am a bit muddled." Liu Xin'ai responded listlessly.

Xiao'an, however, was very excited.

She felt she had found the truth!

She just knew it; why else would Madam be acting so strangely for no reason?

So it was caused by a hangover!

But thinking of how Liu Xin'ai looked when she was drunk yesterday, Xiao'an couldn't help but smile and say, "You were actually quite bossy when you were drunk."

This time, Liu Xin'ai had a different reaction.

She slowly turned her head to look over and asked with some unease, "... I was very bossy?!"

"Yes, toward Sir and toward your brother, you were very bossy, but also very cute."

It was the first time Xiao'an had seen Liu Xin'ai's willful side; besides being surprised, she also felt it was very different.

Liu Xin'ai, however, was stunned.

After a moment, she murmured, "Then... I didn't say anything I shouldn't have, did I?"

"No."

"Was Qin Yiyan unhappy?"

"How could you not be happy? Sir even carried you back to your room."

Thinking of that scene now, Xiao'an still feels it was wonderful!

But Liu Xin'ai feels it was absolutely not!

She is so embarrassed that her toes are curling up!

Reason tells Liu Xin'ai not to ask any further.

The more she knows, the more socially dead she will be!

But curiosity drives Liu Xin'ai's brain, making her continue to ask: "Last night, was it Qin Yiyan who took care of me?"

"That's right, Sir stayed in your room for a while before coming out."

"Did we chat in the room?"

"This... I didn't eavesdrop, so I'm not sure either."

Unable to get to the bottom of it, Liu Xin'ai is very disappointed.

She sighs and mutters: "I really wish someone could have eavesdropped."

This request directly frightens Xiao'an!

She looks at Liu Xin'ai with a horrified expression, her voice filled with uncertainty: "Madam... why would you have such a request?!"

Liu Xin'ai also knows her words are absurd.

But...

"I just want to know what happened between me and Qin Yiyan."

Regarding this question, Xiao'an also has no way to answer.

But Xiao'an has her own speculation: "Although I don't know what happened, when Sir came out of your room, there was a smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood."

"If I get drunk and don't make mistakes that anger him, that's already a stroke of luck; how could I possibly make him happy?"

"Maybe he thought the way you looked when you were drunk was cute."

Liu Xin'ai thinks about it and feels this reason doesn't hold up.

Because Qin Yiyan definitely wouldn't like the ramblings of a drunkard.

If he was in a good mood, it must be because of something Liu Xin'ai said.

But what on earth did she say?

Sigh, she can't remember a thing!

Liu Xin'ai is so frustrated.

She raises her hand and rubs her hair in annoyance.

Xiao'an widens her eyes, watching Liu Xin'ai go crazy.

After Liu Xin'ai finishes venting, she carefully tidies up Liu Xin'ai's messy hair bit by bit.

Xiao'an's movements are very gentle and very careful.

This makes Liu Xin'ai's irritable mood slowly calm down.

When Xiao'an withdraws her hands, Liu Xin'ai is already able to speak calmly: "Thank you, Xiao'an."

Xiao'an cannot accept this thanks and hurriedly waves her hands, saying: "I am just here to take care of you, please don't thank me. It's a pity that I don't have much ability and cannot solve your worries."

"It's clearly my own inability to figure things out, how could I blame you? Sigh, not being able to remember things is truly vexing."

Liu Xin'ai is lamenting the fact that she blacked out from drinking.

But Xiao'an thinks of the past that Liu Xin'ai has forgotten.

Thinking of all the things in the past, Xiao'an cannot help but comment:

"Your life with Sir now is plain and happy; whether you can remember the past or not is no longer important."

Her voice is filled with emotion.

But the content of this emotion is something Liu Xin'ai cannot accept.

Liu Xin'ai immediately retorts: "How is it not important? Things that you all know, only I don't know—this feeling is terrible!"

"But it is precisely because you don't have those memories that you can be an ordinary married couple with Sir."

Xiao'an responds in her heart.

But she discovers Liu Xin'ai is staring at her with a deep expression.

It is as if...

Xiao'an gasps, and then asks cautiously: "Did I just say my inner thoughts out loud!?"

"Yes."

Xiao'an hurriedly covers her lips, feeling that she was truly too careless!!
