Chapter 1413: We Can Also Be Considered to Have Shared Weal and Woe

But there was one thing Liu Xin'ai was very clear about.

Her heart... was beating faster and faster.

It was a bit uncomfortable.

And also a bit... addictive.

In a daze, Qin Yiyan finally let go of Liu Xin'ai.

He opened his eyes and saw Liu Xin'ai's dazed expression.

It almost made him lose control again!

However, Liu Xin'ai returned to normal quite quickly and said softly, "It really is bitter."

Bitter?

Qin Yiyan didn't react for a moment.

After thinking about it, he realized Liu Xin'ai was commenting on the bitterness in his mouth from the medicine he had taken.

When Liu Xin'ai spoke, she appeared very calm.

But if her earlobes hadn't turned red, it might have been more convincing.

The smile at the corners of Qin Yiyan's mouth deepened, and he said, "We can consider this sharing weal and woe together."

Liu Xin'ai felt this was wrong, so she corrected him, "I only feel the bitterness, not the sweetness."

"Is that so?"

Qin Yiyan was seen producing a candy from somewhere and holding it in his mouth.

Then, the next second...

Sensing Qin Yiyan's intention, Liu Xin'ai immediately issued a warning: "That's enough!"

While speaking, Liu Xin'ai also kept her distance from Qin Yiyan.

Watching the woman who had instantly moved away from him, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but sigh, "This injury really limits my performance."

"You, you should be thankful you're injured, otherwise I would have hit you just now!"

"Then it's not too late for you to hit me now."

Now?

If Liu Xin'ai leaned over, that would be walking right into a trap!

Also, this guy was supposed to be recuperating; couldn't he just focus on that?

Liu Xin'ai prepared to issue a warning, but a voice came from downstairs first: "My god, what is this smell!?"

As soon as Liu Qingze returned, he was almost knocked out by the stench!

He fanned the air in front of him with his hand and then arranged for the servants to open the windows for ventilation immediately.

When he saw Liu Xin'ai walking down from upstairs, he asked, "Sister, why is there such a heavy medicinal smell in the house? Are you researching something at home?"

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes and said, "I am indeed researching something."

"Then how many days will you be researching? This smell... it really makes one dizzy."

"It's hard to say; it depends on the results."

"What results?"

Liu Xin'ai turned to look back, then pulled Liu Qingze to the side.

In the corner, Liu Xin'ai whispered, "Qin Yiyan's leg might have some issues; I'm trying to find a way to help him recover."

"What's wrong with his leg?"

"There's an injury near the ligament; if it doesn't recover well, it could very likely affect his walking."

Liu Qingze had thought Qin Yiyan was already fine, and that if he just waited quietly, that man would be as strong as an ox again.

As it turned out...

Liu Qingze was feeling melancholy when he suddenly thought of something, tilted his head, and muttered, "That's not right, he was walking before, I didn't see any problems."

"It's possible he was just toughing it out; now that he can't hold on anymore, he's finally telling the truth."

"This... don't be in such a hurry to make a judgment; you should still get a comprehensive check-up."

Liu Qingze's words were full of doubt.

This made Liu Xin'ai look up at him and ask tentatively, "What do you mean..."

"I don't mean anything; I also hope that guy is full of vigor."

Liu Qingze was just trying to cover up his true feelings; in reality, the meaning he wanted to convey had already been clearly communicated.

And Liu Xin'ai could also roughly guess it.

If it were before, if Qin Yiyan dared to deceive her, Liu Xin'ai would definitely be burning with rage.

However, this time...

Liu Xin'ai would rather Qin Yiyan be playing mind games.

Sighing softly, Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes.

Just by looking up, she discovered Liu Qingze was staring at her unblinkingly.

There was even a sense of inquiry in his gaze.

Liu Xin'ai didn't like being stared at like that, so she shifted her gaze and said, "You must be hungry after a busy day; I'll go see what the kitchen has prepared today."

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai turned to leave.

But Liu Qingze called out to her from behind and urged, "When you shouldn't be soft-hearted, you must not be, otherwise it will be trouble!"

Liu Xin'ai paused her steps, but said nothing.

Afterward, she picked up her pace and hurried to the kitchen.

And Liu Qingze looked at his sister's back, then looked up at the room upstairs.

A few words flashed through his mind: something is wrong!

Liu Qingze narrowed his eyes, lifted his feet, and headed straight for Qin Yiyan's room.

Originally, the expression on Liu Qingze's face was very serious.

But the moment he pushed the door open, Liu Qingze hurriedly closed his eyes and held his breath!

Good heavens, this smell... it's just too overpowering!

Liu Qingze couldn't help but cover his nose with his hand, his brows furrowed tightly.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiyan inside the room looked composed.

Upon noticing Liu Qingze enter, he even asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Liu Qingze said in a muffled voice, "I do have something; I heard you aren't feeling well?"

"I am a little."

"If you aren't feeling well, you should go to the Hospital; don't try to tough it out."

"Liu Xin'ai is helping me with treatment; she said if it isn't effective, she will use Acupuncture."

Hearing the words "Acupuncture," Liu Qingze couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "You agreed to it?"

"It's for my own good, why wouldn't I agree?"

Qin Yiyan's attitude was very calm, so calm that Liu Qingze found it inconceivable.

Could it be... that this guy is really unwell?

If he were truly faking illness, then Qin Yiyan's sacrifice would be too great. Just smelling this odor made Liu Qingze want to vomit.

And yet Qin Yiyan still has to drink it down...

Ugh, he felt even more like vomiting!

Liu Qingze really didn't want to stay for even another second!

After saying, "Rest well and recover as soon as possible," he couldn't wait to leave the room.

Watching Liu Qingze's retreating back as he fled in a panic, Qin Yiyan felt a bit envious.

He thought that the air outside the room must definitely be fresher than it was here, and without so much medicinal smell.

And at this moment, Qin Yiyan was certain that even his clothes were permeated with the scent of Chinese medicine.

However, in order to win the heart of the beauty, these sacrifices were of no consequence.

Qin Yiyan's state of mind grew increasingly calm.

But Qin Chao was growing increasingly irritable.

He had originally thought it would be easy to make Qin Yiyan accept Wang Yaran.

He hadn't expected that brat to run straight to the Liu Family to hide!

And then there was that Wang Yaran, who had been so full of promises when she made them.

But the moment she was needed, she was useless—a total waste!!

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yaran looks somewhat like Liu Xin'ai, Qin Chao would have kicked her aside long ago!

But precisely because of this point, Qin Chao still had to be patient and summon Wang Yaran.

He asked her crossly, "Why have you been so quiet these past two days?"

Wang Yaran lowered her eyes and said very submissively, "I have already tried my best, but Qin Yiyan is completely unmoved; there is nothing I can do."

"That only goes to show that you haven't tried hard enough!"

"But... Qin Yiyan has already moved into the Liu Family; am I supposed to follow him to the Liu Family?"

"Why not? That is the only way to demonstrate your sincerity!"

"But the Liu Family is not the Qin Family; even if I were to shamelessly show up at their door, they might not let me see Qin Yiyan, and they might even throw me out!"
