Chapter 1370: Why Did I Agree to Date Him?

Liu Xin'ai refused, saying, "Your work is already exhausting enough; leave these trivial matters to others."

"But these trivial matters are the only things I can do for you."

When Qin Yiyan said this, he sounded a bit aggrieved.

And a bit helpless.

That cautious appearance made Liu Xin'ai unable to bear continuing her refusal.

But once she thought of the consequences of indulging Qin Yiyan...

Liu Xin'ai still hardened her heart and refused, saying, "Leave it to others in the future; otherwise, you'll ruin your health from staying up late."

"But if I don't boil sweet soup for you, what else can I do for you?"

This...

Really stumped Liu Xin'ai.

She seemed not to need this man to do anything for her.

But Qin Yiyan suddenly had an idea: "I am your husband, so isn't the only thing I can do for you to be with you..."

"You, you, you... stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Xin'ai didn't know what she had thought of, but she immediately stopped Qin Yiyan.

And her face turned bright red.

Although Qin Yiyan could not see Liu Xin'ai's face, he could feel her panic at this moment.

This made Qin Yiyan curl his lips, and then, he slowly finished his sentence: "I meant that we could go on a date."

Liu Xin'ai had already prepared to scold Qin Yiyan for being a big pervert.

But...

A date?

Phew, thank goodness, as long as it wasn't about...

Realizing she had been thinking of dirty thoughts, Liu Xin'ai quickly patted her head.

Then she said with a righteous face, "Of course, that's fine."

"As long as you agree, that's good, but why was your reaction just now so intense?"

"Huh? It's nothing, that... let's just agree on this: you don't boil sweet soup, and then when I have time, I'll go with you to..."

To avoid Qin Yiyan pressing her on what happened just now, Liu Xin'ai quickly changed the subject.

But as she spoke...

Liu Xin'ai started to realize something:

How did she end up agreeing to go on a date with Qin Yiyan?!

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit chaotic...

Qin Yiyan could feel the change in Liu Xin'ai's emotions.

To prevent Liu Xin'ai from going back on her word, Qin Yiyan made a concession: "There's no rush for the date; I've been busy lately anyway, so let's set a time later."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan used the excuse of having a meeting to hang up the phone.

And Liu Xin'ai stared at her phone, still looking like she was out of it.

Seeing that she had finished the call, Xiao'an asked curiously, "Have you and your husband reached an agreement?"

Liu Xin'ai came back to her senses and nodded: "In the future, leave the matter of boiling sweet soup to you all."

Upon hearing this, Xiao'an immediately smiled: "As expected, the husband only listens when the Madam speaks! Actually, in your heart, Madam... you are also worried about the husband, right?"

"Mm."

Liu Xin'ai responded absent-mindedly.

Only then did she feel that this was inappropriate.

She immediately offered an explanation: "I mean, as long as it's someone around me, I will worry about them. If you encountered something, I would worry about you too."

"Mm, the Madam is truly kind."

Xiao'an praised her very sincerely.

But Liu Xin'ai felt extremely guilty.

To cover up this guilt, she could only lower her head and drink the sweet soup.

As a result, because she drank it too quickly, she accidentally choked.

Xiao'an hurriedly patted her back from the side, whispering, "Drink slowly."

The two women here were both a bit flustered.

Little did they know, not far behind them, Jiang Chenghao was standing there.

He had heard their entire conversation.

Including what Liu Xin'ai said to Qin Yiyan...

Jiang Chenghao knew that the project Liu Xin'ai was in charge of required special reagent kits, so he had personally gone abroad to obtain them.

He didn't even have time to rest before bringing the reagent kits directly to the Laboratory.

But worried that Liu Xin'ai would feel psychological pressure, Jiang Chenghao did not show his face.

He only had his driver deliver them up.

As a result, what did he see from downstairs?

The woman he protected so carefully was being schemed against by Qin Yiyan!

And she had fallen into the trap woven by Qin Yiyan without any defenses!

And that person called Xiao'an was clearly an accomplice!

Caught in a pincer attack from both inside and out, Liu Xin'ai had no power to fight back and could only suffer in silence!

Qin Yiyan is going too far.

Jiang Chenghao... cannot watch Liu Xin'ai get bullied!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Jiang Chenghao seemed to have thought of something.

Afterwards, he turned and left in silence.

After speaking with Qin Yiyan on the phone that day, Liu Xin'ai had worried for several days.

She was very afraid that Qin Yiyan would actually ask her out.

But facts proved that Liu Xin'ai had overthought it.

Qin Yiyan never even mentioned it.

Instead, it was Xiao'an who, on the way to take Liu Xin'ai back to the Liu Family today, prepared to ask Liu Xin'ai out.

But Xiao'an was not doing it for herself, rather...

Xiao'an pursed her lips and asked, "Madam, are you resting tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"It's hard to get a day off, so you really should relax properly."

This girl Xiao'an is simple-minded and not very good at lying.

Once she hides something on her mind, her smile becomes especially fake.

Just like right now, she is smiling without any warmth in her eyes.

Liu Xin'ai smiled and then asked, "What do you want to say?"

"It's like this, the Old Madam wants to buy a new hat and needs someone to accompany her to look around and offer some advice. Sir did volunteer, but... he was rejected by the Old Madam."

Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but chuckle and commented, "Qin Yiyan's taste... is indeed not very good."

"The Old Madam said the same thing, so..."

Xiao'an looked at Liu Xin'ai and tentatively asked, "Can you accompany the Old Madam?"

"Sure." Liu Xin'ai agreed without even thinking.

And Xiao'an had been waiting for these very words!

But she had only been happy for three seconds when the car suddenly slammed on the brakes!

This braking was completely unexpected.

It also caused both Liu Xin'ai and Xiao'an's bodies to lurch violently forward!

Xiao'an reached out to protect Liu Xin'ai, while simultaneously frowning and asking the driver, "What's going on?"

"The tire blew out!"

"Is there a spare tire in the car?"

"There is, but when I went to pick up Madam two days ago, it blew out once on the road, and I haven't had a chance to get the one I replaced repaired yet."

The driver was very annoyed, and Liu Xin'ai said, "You've really been unlucky lately."

"You can say that again; it's a road I take every day, yet problems keep happening one after another."

After complaining for a bit, the driver called another driver from the Qin Family to come over and help.

Liu Xin'ai stepped out of the car and said to Xiao'an, "I'll take a taxi back to the Liu Family; Xiao'an, you can wait here for a while with the driver."

How could Xiao'an let Liu Xin'ai go back by herself?

She opened her mouth to speak.

But at this moment, another car pulled up.

The person in the car rolled down the window and called out in surprise, "Xin'ai?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao'an immediately went into Level 1 defense mode!

At the same time, she silently blocked Liu Xin'ai with her body!

Because of Xiao'an's actions, Liu Xin'ai had to tilt her head and smile at Jiang Chenghao in the car: "What a coincidence, did you just get off work?"

"Yes, what about you guys, is this... the car broke down?"

Liu Xin'ai shrugged and replied, "Yeah, just bad luck."

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