Chapter 1408: Cannot Deceive Herself

Chi Rong felt relieved.

But Liu Xin'ai could not accept this expression of gratitude.

After all, she had only taken Qin Yiyan in because she had no other choice.

And also...

"I am only taking him in for a few days temporarily; once Qin Yiyan's condition improves, he will go back."

"It doesn't matter if the time is short, Yiyan is content. Besides, I am very reassured having you take care of him."

Chi Rong was truly reassured, and the expression on her face was all smiles.

However, at the thought of that woman, Wang Yaran...

Chi Rong reined in her smile and even complained, "That girl from the Wang Family is just inexplicable! At such a prime age, why must she pester someone else's husband? Either there is something wrong with her brain, or she is malicious!"

Chi Rong hated women who destroyed other people's families.

Mentioning Wang Yaran, she also had a look of annoyance.

Liu Xin'ai could understand her anger.

But considering Chi Rong's health, Liu Xin'ai advised, "Don't ruin your health for that kind of person. Also, you have been putting all your focus on Qin Yiyan lately, so you must have neglected taking care of yourself; that won't do."

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai asked about Chi Rong's recent blood pressure, diet, and sleep.

It was completely the state of a Doctor conducting a consultation.

Chi Rong answered a few questions before she sensed something was wrong.

She sighed helplessly and said, "You child, you are always thinking of others and never consider yourself."

"I do consider myself."

"If you were really considering yourself, you should have thoroughly swept the girl from the Wang Family out of the game first, and not let her be an eyesore!"

"But even if the girl from the Wang Family were gone, who could guarantee there wouldn't be a girl from the Li Family or a girl from the Zhou Family in the future? As long as this piece of meat—Qin Yiyan—is still around, there will always be people who are restless."

Liu Xin'ai's attitude while saying this was very calm.

It was calm to the point of sounding old beyond her years.

Chi Rong was silent for a moment, then she tentatively asked, "Someone is pestering Yiyan; aren't you angry?"

"Not angry, because this is unavoidable."

This attitude was truly composed.

It made Chi Rong exclaim, "You are indeed unruffled; if I had your level of indifference back then, I wouldn't have been so stubborn."

Actually, Liu Xin'ai herself...

Had she not been stubborn before?

But Liu Xin'ai did not want to recall unhappy things, so she returned to the main topic and said, "I hope you can send over the medicine Qin Yiyan needs."

"I will have someone send it over right now; if you need anything else, just say so."

"Okay."

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she and Chi Rong hung up the phone.

Then, the face that had been calm and indifferent... was covered in a faint sorrow.

In truth, Liu Xin'ai's inner heart was in turmoil.

Especially when thinking of Wang Yaran, it felt as if her heart was crawling with little insects!

This made Liu Xin'ai suddenly smile.

She felt she was truly hypocritical; clearly she minded, yet she still had to pretend to be indifferent.

Such a disguise might be able to fool others.

But...

How was she to fool herself?

Liu Xin'ai let out a long breath, then lay flat on the bed, her brows tightly furrowed.

At the same time, Qin Yiyan in the other room was in a good mood.

Everything at the moment was happening according to his expectations.

He was also looking forward to spending time together with Liu Xin'ai over the next five days.

As a result, the next morning...

Qin Yiyan surprisingly did not see Liu Xin'ai's figure.

He asked the servants and only then learned that Liu Xin'ai had gone to the Laboratory early in the morning.

Well, when Qin Yiyan was in the Hospital, Liu Xin'ai also only came in the afternoon.

Being able to have this much time together during the day was not bad either.

Qin Yiyan comforted himself this way.

However, it was almost evening, and Qin Yiyan still hadn't waited for Liu Xin'ai to appear.

This made him unable to sit still.

Just as he took out his phone, preparing to give Liu Xin'ai a call, someone knocked on the door.

It was Xin'ai!

Qin Yiyan's face lit up with joy, and he turned his head to let the person in.

But the person who entered... was a man wearing a white coat.

The man took one look at Qin Yiyan and said politely, "Mr. Qin, it is time to change your dressing."

Changing the dressing...

Qin Yiyan knitted his brows and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Before the man could speak, another voice came from the doorway: "This person is the nursing staff I found for you; they are very professional."

Qin Yiyan looked toward Liu Qingze, who had entered afterward, and lightly pursed his lips.

"Because she was taking care of you, my sister has already taken quite a lot of leave. Not to mention her own exhaustion, she has also caused others to have complaints. To avoid a similar situation from happening again, I simply hired a professional caregiver to look after you."

When Liu Qingze spoke, a triumphant light was still flashing in his eyes!

He thought, so what if you went to such lengths to move in?

As long as I don't give my sister and Qin Yiyan a chance to meet, then Qin Yiyan's hard work will have been for nothing!

Qin Yiyan had already read his thoughts from Liu Qingze's triumphant gaze.

It had to be said, this move of drawing the firewood from under the cauldron was indeed powerful.

But how could Qin Yiyan sit and wait for death?

He smiled faintly at Liu Qingze: "Thank you for letting bygones be bygones and still sending someone to take care of me."

"Don't mention it, the people in our family are all very kind."

"Then I will trouble this gentleman to help me change my dressing."

Qin Yiyan leaned his body against the sofa, looking very cooperative.

The caregiver nimbly unwrapped the bandages and skillfully applied the medicine.

As for Liu Qingze, he had originally been standing to the side with his arms crossed, watching the excitement.

But as soon as he saw that wound, Liu Qingze felt uncomfortable.

That wound was truly hideous!

Liu Qingze averted his gaze in discomfort, preparing to find an excuse to slip away.

But a servant walked in, holding a bag in their hand, and said: "Mr. Qin, this is some information sent to you by a gentleman named Lin Ze."

"Lin Ze? It looks like he has found all the information on that woman."

Once Liu Qingze heard this...

He no longer intended to leave; instead, he very enthusiastically helped take the bag and said: "Do you want me to help you take it out?"

"Sure, you can take a look at this information too."

Liu Qingze had been waiting for this exact sentence!

He couldn't wait to take out the information and quickly read through it once.

And upon seeing it, Liu Qingze revealed a puzzled expression and muttered: "With someone so outstanding, why not do something else? Why must she insist on interfering in someone else's marriage!"

Qin Yiyan took the information, looked at it briefly, and then acknowledged Liu Qingze's words: "She is indeed very outstanding, and this is enough to show that she must have reached some kind of agreement with my father; otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to sacrifice so much."

"Then how are you going to launch your operation within five days—no, four days?"

"Simple: kick my father out and change it to a partnership between me and Wang Yaran."

Qin Yiyan's tone was flat, but what he said...

Was very much in line with Qin Yiyan's style of doing things.

Shameless enough!

However...

Liu Qingze thought of something and hurriedly asked: "You... you aren't planning to call that woman here to negotiate, are you?"

If that were really the case, then Liu Qingze would not be able to control his fists!

But clearly, Liu Qingze was overthinking it.

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized the situation was far more complicated than she had initially anticipated.
