Chapter 1378: She Clearly Wanted to Refuse

This proposal...

It really is tempting!

But even if it can be avoided today, what about later?

What is meant to come will come!

Liu Xin'ai hesitated for a moment, then made a decision: "I will explain it to Qing Ze; he should be able to understand."

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai had rejected his proposal, Qin Yiyan felt a bit disappointed.

However, he quickly returned to normal and even said: "If Liu Qingze cannot understand and says nonsense that upsets you, just tell me, and I will help you teach that brat a lesson."

Tell Qin Yiyan?

That would only make things more and more complicated.

Without a second thought, Liu Xin'ai refused: "I can handle this small matter myself."

After hearing this, Qin Yiyan didn't say anything more, just silently drove the car back to the Qin Family.

Upon arriving at the Qin Family, Liu Xin'ai set up her station and prepared to start working.

She had come with a mission, and her schedule was very full.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan didn't say anything either, only calling Xiao'an over to keep Liu Xin'ai company.

Xiao'an was very happy that Liu Xin'ai could return to the Qin Family.

Moreover, with Liu Xin'ai there, she didn't even have time to feel melancholy, and she nimbly arranged everything for Liu Xin'ai.

In fact, when Liu Xin'ai got busy, she was extremely focused and didn't need Xiao'an to do anything for her.

Xiao'an just sat quietly to the side, watching Liu Xin'ai engrossed in her work.

Hmm... this scene is truly peaceful and serene.

Xiao'an sat there, looking at everything before her with satisfaction.

Until...

Qin Yiyan appeared, breaking the calm.

Liu Xin'ai hadn't expected Qin Yiyan to still be at home; she looked up and asked with a look of surprise: "Why are you still here?"

Could it be that he...

Wants to go on a date with her?

This assumption made Liu Xin'ai tense up immediately.

From the moment she saw Qin Yiyan, she had been avoiding this issue.

She was also very worried that Qin Yiyan would suddenly bring it up.

However, Qin Yiyan didn't mention it, but instead said: "I am also working from home today."

As he spoke, Qin Yiyan placed his laptop next to Liu Xin'ai.

Then he sat down steadily.

Liu Xin'ai didn't mind Qin Yiyan working from home.

But could he please change rooms?

Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth, about to offer her suggestion.

But Qin Yiyan leaned into Liu Xin'ai's ear first, lowered his voice, and said: "Xiao'an is still watching, remember, smile."

Liu Xin'ai followed his lead, her lips trembling as she forced a smile.

"Very good, then let's work hard together."

Qin Yiyan patted the top of Liu Xin'ai's head, then opened his computer.

Liu Xin'ai felt that this wasn't very good.

And... why does Qin Yiyan always have to be the one to make the decisions?

Isn't this just being led by the nose by him?

Liu Xin'ai felt displeased.

But...

Watching Qin Yiyan quickly immerse himself in his work, Liu Xin'ai didn't say anything more.

As for Xiao'an, she rested her chin on her palm and sat there smiling.

She felt that this atmosphere was really nice; the two of them could work hard together and improve together.

But two hours later...

The smile on Xiao'an's face completely vanished.

Her eyes became numb.

Her bottom was sore from sitting too!

And what about that couple over there?

They were actually still immersed in their work, unable to extricate themselves!

Ever since they started working, they hadn't lifted their heads or spoken a word. It was as if they were in two worlds with no intersection, with nothing in their eyes but work!

It really was... so boring!

Xiao'an yawned, then looked up at the clock on the wall.

Seeing the time, Xiao'an immediately sat up straight.

Then she went to the kitchen without a sound.

When she returned, there was a porcelain bowl in Xiao'an's hands.

"Madam, it's time to drink some sweet soup."

Xiao'an couldn't directly tell Liu Xin'ai to take a break.

However, if she were to drink sweet soup, she would have to stop working.

Liu Xin'ai could also take the opportunity to relax a little.

Xiao'an felt this arrangement was very clever.

And Liu Xin'ai did indeed put down the work in her hands, stretched, and then said to Xiao'an with a smile, "Thank you."

"You and I don't need to be so polite."

As Xiao'an said this, she walked behind Liu Xin'ai and helped her massage her shoulders.

The pressure, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, pressed onto her sore shoulders, making Liu Xin'ai feel very relaxed.

She even closed her eyes gently.

Xiao'an could feel Liu Xin'ai's relaxation.

But this kind of relaxation was only temporary; if she wanted to be completely relaxed...

Xiao'an looked outside and suggested, "The weather is so nice today, it's too dull for you to keep busy with work, Madam. Why don't you two go out for a stroll?"

Xiao'an said this with good intentions.

But Liu Xin'ai refused without even thinking: "My work isn't finished yet."

"Work is never-ending, but people need rest. Look at how long you've been sitting; your muscles have become stiff, and your work efficiency will slow down too. It would be better to go out for a walk and continue when you get back."

What Xiao'an said was the truth.

But she still did not intend to leave the room.

Yet Qin Yiyan, who had been quiet all this time, spoke up at this moment: "Xiao'an makes a lot of sense. We really should go out for a stroll; let's just consider it a date."

This lighthearted sentence made Liu Xin'ai's body stiffen!

At the same time, she thought to herself, why does this guy always suddenly make such suggestions without giving anyone a chance to react!

And as soon as Xiao'an heard the word "date," her eyes lit up, and she murmured with a look of longing:

"A date... it must be very romantic. I wonder where Madam and Sir are going for their date?"

In fact, Liu Xin'ai did not want to go on a date with Qin Yiyan at all.

And she wanted romance even less.

But considering Xiao'an's emotions might be sensitive at the moment, and thinking back to the promise she had once made...

Liu Xin'ai could only say against her will: "Then let's go out for a stroll, but where to?"

Regarding this question, Xiao'an did have a suggestion: "How about the park? I know a newly built park nearby, and the environment is quite nice."

Stroll in a park?

Liu Xin'ai felt it would be very boring just thinking about it.

But Qin Yiyan seemed very interested: "I've heard of that park; a lot of money was invested in its construction, and the landscaping inside was designed by famous masters. Xin'ai has been looking at documents for a long time, so her eyes must be uncomfortable. The park has an open view and plenty of greenery, so it's perfect for relaxing her eyes."

The reason Qin Yiyan gave was impossible to refuse.

Xiao'an also suggested excitedly: "Madam, just go there. I'll prepare some food and drinks for you two, and you can have a picnic!"

A picnic!?

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly stopped Xiao'an and prevented her: "We are just going for a walk, there is no need for a picnic."

"I see, then holding hands while strolling would also be nice."

As Xiao'an said this, she couldn't help but look full of longing.

But Liu Xin'ai was speechless.

She had clearly said the words "go for a walk."

How did it automatically turn into holding hands while strolling when it reached Xiao'an?

This is way too much overthinking!

And another thing... why did she compromise again? She clearly wanted to refuse!
