Chapter 1406: Seemingly Selfless, But Actually the Most Selfish

Qin Chao silently blinked at Wang Yaran, and then...

She actually knelt down to Chi Rong!

Chi Rong was startled, backed away repeatedly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wang Yaran looked up, her face full of tears: "Old Madam, I truly admire Mr. Qin. Knowing he is injured, my heart aches unbearably! I don't ask for anything, I only hope to take good care of him during this time!"

As the last word fell, bean-sized tears rolled down Wang Yaran's cheeks.

She said nothing more, just looked at Chi Rong pitifully, as if... she was certain of Chi Rong's kind heart.

Chi Rong was indeed kind-hearted.

But it also depended on who the other person was.

Just like the one before her, Chi Rong could not bring herself to be kind no matter what.

She even frowned and retorted: "You girl, do you think our Qin Family has no one left, that we need an outsider like you to take care of him?"

"I..."

"And you look selfless, but in reality, you are the most selfish! Just to fulfill your own wish, you want us to accept you unconditionally? Let me tell you, that is impossible!"

Chi Rong refused crisply and decisively. She didn't even give Wang Yaran a chance to react, pointing outside the door and saying: "This is Qin Yiyan's home. If you don't leave, I will call the police. You are still a young woman; if this blows up, I'm afraid it will have a very bad impact on you!"

Reputation?

Wang Yaran said with a sorrowful expression: "I don't care about my reputation, and it doesn't matter if Old Madam doesn't understand me! But please give me a chance to prove myself! Perhaps you will change your opinion of me!"

This girl... is truly impervious to reason!

Chi Rong was so angry her head ached.

But Qin Yiyan gradually calmed down.

He did not believe in this sudden deep affection; this woman must have a conspiracy!

Perhaps... she was just waiting for the matter to blow up. Although it might seem like Wang Yaran would lose face, it could actually help her build momentum!

Having figured this out, Qin Yiyan looked coldly at the weeping Wang Yaran and suddenly spoke: "Let her stay!"

These words made Wang Yaran's eyes light up with joy.

Chi Rong, however, was full of incomprehension.

And the next second...

"I'm leaving."

Qin Yiyan did what he said, leaving with determination.

And Qin Chao, watching his back, roared in anger: "You brat, you stop right there!"

It was impossible for Qin Yiyan to stop.

On the contrary, with the help of others, he quickly sat into the car.

Chi Rong also followed Qin Yiyan as he left, saying indignantly: "Mother will find you a quiet place to live; we don't need to look at those annoying people!"

"You don't need to worry, I have already decided where to go."

"Decided? Then where are you going?"

Qin Yiyan did not hesitate; he opened his mouth and told the driver an address.

And that address made Chi Rong look astonished.

Afterwards, she slowly revealed a smile that was not quite a smile.

Not long after—

At the entrance of the Liu Family.

Liu Xin'ai was reading in her room.

A servant hurried over, panicked and said: "Madam, someone has fainted at our front gate!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai immediately stood up to check the situation.

But what she never expected was that the person lying on the ground...

How could it be Qin Yiyan!?

Liu Xin'ai was full of surprise.

But she still had people quickly send Qin Yiyan into a room.

Then she checked the wounds on his body.

Fortunately, the wounds were fine, so then...

"Stop faking a faint!"

Liu Xin'ai looked down at him, her voice a bit cold.

But Qin Yiyan did not react.

Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips, then deliberately sighed: "It seems he really has fainted. Then don't delay, you all hurry and send him to the Hospital."

As Liu Xin'ai was giving instructions to the people around her, the person who had been lying on the bed slowly woke up.

"Xin'ai... I have finally seen you!"

Qin Yiyan's voice was weak, and his eyes revealed hesitation and helplessness.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai said nothing and just quietly watched Qin Yiyan's performance.

And under the gaze of such cold, clear eyes, it was really hard to keep acting.

Qin Yiyan bit the bullet and tried twice, but failed both times. In the end, he had to give up and asked: "Can you let me stay for a few days?"

This request surprised Liu Xin'ai.

She frowned and asked: "Why do you want me to take you in? Why don't you go home?"

"That woman Wang Yaran was called home by my father. I didn't want to see her, so I had no choice but to hide out here."

When Qin Yiyan said this, he looked incredibly aggrieved.

Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment, then understood that Qin Chao had made up his mind to bring the two of them together.

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes, her voice making it impossible to tell if she was happy or angry: "This is your family's business; you should go and talk to your father about it carefully."

"Sigh, how can I talk to him? Dad doesn't listen to reason at all! In his eyes, no one is as important as the Qin Family bloodline; even I am just a tool."

With these words, Qin Yiyan was invisibly aligning himself with Liu Xin'ai.

But after hearing this, Liu Xin'ai thought of... the word "stud."

Hmm...

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly pinched herself, afraid that she might reveal a smile.

Qin Yiyan did not know Liu Xin'ai's thoughts.

He sighed melancholically and stated his reason for coming here: "My injuries haven't healed yet, and I really don't have the energy to waste on them. After thinking it over, I had the audacity to come here to hide for a few days."

"No," Liu Xin'ai refused very decisively.

Qin Yiyan did not give up, still looking at the woman in front of him with pleading eyes: "Xin'ai, please."

His tone... really made it easy for people to soften their hearts.

Especially since Qin Yiyan looked so sickly at this moment...

Liu Xin'ai ordered herself not to develop any unnecessary sympathy.

But... it was really difficult.

Liu Xin'ai averted her gaze and said with feigned indifference: "Liu Qingze won't agree."

"Does that mean if Liu Qingze agrees, you'll agree?"

This...

"Then it's a deal; I'll go lobby Liu Qingze in a moment!"

Qin Yiyan saw hope.

And Liu Xin'ai did not voice any objection; anyway... Liu Qingze would not agree.

Liu Xin'ai temporarily arranged for Qin Yiyan to rest in the guest room.

She herself returned to her room to read.

But Liu Xin'ai could not read in peace.

Because Qin Yiyan would always find various excuses to disturb her.

And his sickly appearance made Liu Xin'ai unable to bear speaking harshly to him.

She could only patiently help him resolve them one by one.

When Qin Yiyan came knocking again, Liu Qingze drove home.

The servants at home had already told him about Qin Yiyan's visit, so Liu Qingze's expression was very dark at this moment.

He went straight to Liu Xin'ai's room, ready to roar the moment he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly cautioned him first: "Qin Yiyan is injured, speak nicely!"

"So what if he's injured? Is it a get-out-of-jail-free card?!"

"But if you make him sick with anger, what will you do if he tries to extort you?"

These words... reminded Liu Qingze.

Given Qin Yiyan's shameless style, he was very likely to do such a thing!
