Chapter 1407: Are You Worried About Me?

The conversation between this pair of siblings left Qin Yiyan completely speechless.

He sighed and then extended an invitation to Liu Qingze: "Let's talk in private."

Liu Qingze did not speak, using only a cold sneer as a response.

Seeing that he wouldn't speak, Qin Yiyan feigned sudden realization and said, "So you're that afraid of me."

"Joke, who would be afraid of you!?"

"Since you aren't afraid, then why don't you dare to chat with me?"

Liu Qingze felt Qin Yiyan's summary was too absurd and immediately corrected him: "I am clearly worried that you will use underhanded tricks!"

"Worried that I'll use underhanded tricks, so you won't talk to me... doesn't that still mean you're afraid of me?!"

Qin Yiyan's retort made fire erupt from the top of Liu Qingze's head.

He even opened his mouth to shout: "Say it again, I am not afraid of you!!"

This roar was truly full of conviction.

It also made Qin Yiyan's ears ache.

It was clear that Liu Qingze was already on the verge of losing control.

To avoid actually making him explode with anger, Qin Yiyan returned to the main topic: "Let's just talk; I promise not to swindle anyone. Whether you let me stay or not is entirely up to you to decide."

"Fine, let's talk then! Sister, you heard him too—whether to let him stay or not is all up to me to decide!"

Liu Xin'ai's lips moved, preparing to persuade Liu Qingze not to believe Qin Yiyan's nonsense.

But before the words could leave her mouth, Liu Qingze pushed Liu Xin'ai's shoulders and chased her out!

Standing outside the door, Liu Xin'ai was completely bewildered.

She thought to herself, this is my room, right?

Even if they wanted to talk, couldn't they change locations?

And...

Liu Xin'ai looked left and right, and finding no one, she pressed her ear against the door panel.

Unfortunately, the voices inside were too quiet, and Liu Xin'ai heard nothing at all.

Instead, a servant passed by and stared at Liu Xin'ai with a suspicious look.

Liu Xin'ai was too embarrassed to continue being sneaky, so she simply went to the sofa in the living room to sit and wait for the result.

In the process of waiting, Liu Xin'ai became increasingly uneasy.

She was very worried that the people inside would have a disagreement and start arguing.

They might even come to blows!

Qin Yiyan's physical condition could not withstand Liu Qingze's fists!

And Qingze was very prone to being impulsive...

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to wait anymore; she was going to go upstairs to check on the situation!

But just as Liu Xin'ai stood up to go upstairs, the door upstairs opened!

In that instant, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but hold her breath.

She hurried up the stairs, and then heard Liu Qingze standing at the doorway, saying unpleasantly to the person inside: "I'll let you stay for five days, not a single day more!"

These words... left Liu Xin'ai stunned in place.

She stared at Liu Qingze without blinking, feeling as though she were having auditory hallucinations.

And when Liu Qingze met Liu Xin'ai's gaze, a flash of awkwardness crossed his face.

He didn't offer much explanation either, and with a sullen expression, he hurried off to the study.

No matter how you looked at it, this had the air of someone running away.

Now Liu Xin'ai was even more uneasy.

She walked into the room in a few steps and discovered...

Qin Yiyan was sitting inside, perfectly fine.

Phew, thank goodness, no fighting.

Qin Yiyan heard the sound of Liu Xin'ai letting out a sigh of relief, and immediately, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he asked, "Are you worried about me?"

The answer was obvious.

But Liu Xin'ai didn't admit it, instead stubbornly saying: "I'm worried about Qingze. He's young and hot-headed; if he gets impulsive, he'll be the one to suffer!"

"Rest assured, neither of us will suffer, and Qingze and I have already negotiated."

"You two... talked about what?"

Bringing up the serious matter, Qin Yiyan's expression became slightly solemn:

"Wang Yaran is a very calculating woman. On the surface, she has her eyes on me, but since you and I are not yet divorced and are still a married couple, if she targets me, she naturally won't let you off either."

Liu Xin'ai narrowed her eyes slightly and asked: "Is that what you used to convince Qingze?"

"Yes, he also doesn't want you to be entangled by that scheming woman, so he gave me five days to handle it."

"But why do I feel... that you are more calculating than that woman?"

Qin Yiyan sensed Liu Xin'ai's lack of trust in him and hurriedly said: "How could a normal person be head-over-heels in love without even meeting? It's enough to show that that woman's motives are not pure, and she is unscrupulous!"

Qin Yiyan's words made Liu Xin'ai think of that woman's changing face...

Being able to adjust her emotions in an instant and appear with a different face, she was indeed a ruthless character.

But since she is a ruthless character...

Liu Xin'ai asked: "Are you sure you can handle that woman within five days? Wang Yaran is so willing to go to such lengths, it shows her resolve is firm."

"But my resolve is even firmer!"

As Qin Yiyan spoke, he looked at Liu Xin'ai with deep affection.

And his gaze also made a very serious matter suddenly become... not so serious.

Liu Xin'ai shifted her gaze away, her lips moving as she said, "You..."

"Xin'ai, are you going back on your word? That won't do! We agreed before that as long as Qing Ze agreed to let me stay, you wouldn't go back on your word!"

Liu Xin'ai... did indeed want to go back on her word.

But Qin Yiyan's words blocked her mouth.

She had no choice but to say, "I didn't want to go back on my word, I'm just telling you, if you need anything, tell the housekeeper directly, don't keep coming to bother me."

"Oh, then what about changing the dressing? Can I only look for the housekeeper for that too? What if they hurt me?"

Really, she had forgotten that he still needed his dressing changed.

Although Qin Yiyan was recovering quickly, the wounds on his body were still quite deep and required professional care.

Looking across the entire Liu Family, there was only one professional.

But this professional did not want to take care of Qin Yiyan, so she said, "Let the Qin Family send someone over."

"You do it, it's only five days anyway, just treat me like an ordinary patient."

Facing Qin Yiyan's unreasonable request, Liu Xin'ai coldly snorted: "An ordinary patient wouldn't be as pushy as you!"

"Perhaps after experiencing life and death, my skin has become a bit thicker."

Qin Yiyan appeared to be sighing with emotion.

But in reality? He was secretly reminding Liu Xin'ai that his situation was special and he needed to be treated with care.

Liu Xin'ai could hear it.

But... she pretended not to understand, and instead made a gesture for him to leave.

Qin Yiyan sighed and stood up shakily again.

That sighing sound was truly testing the extent of Liu Xin'ai's ruthlessness.

She silently told herself not to pay attention to that guy, as he could go back by himself anyway.

However...

The moment Qin Yiyan's legs went weak and he was about to fall, a pair of arms supported him.

Qin Yiyan looked gratefully at the woman beside him and said, "Thank you."

Liu Xin'ai did not need his thanks; she only felt... this guy was truly troublesome!

But complaining aside, Liu Xin'ai still sent Qin Yiyan back to his room.

Afterward, she contacted Chi Rong and asked her to send over the medicine Qin Yiyan needed.

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong knew that Liu Xin'ai had agreed to take Qin Yiyan in.

This was truly good news!

On the phone, she said very excitedly: "Thank you, Xin'ai! Thanks to your help, otherwise Yiyan would definitely have been pestered by that woman! Yiyan has a stubborn personality; if that woman angers him, his condition might worsen."

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he grabbed Jiang Baobao's wrist with astonishing force.
