Chapter 1421: The Madam Must Be Worried About You

Is it already very late?

Chi Rong checked the time and sighed, "Oh my, it really is, it's already this late!"

As she spoke, Chi Rong stood up.

Liu Xin'ai invited her, "Please stay for dinner; the kitchen has already prepared the evening meal."

This...

Chi Rong wanted to refuse.

But because she hadn't hung up the phone, the person on the other end heard it too and spoke up resentfully: "You're going to stay at Xin'ai's for dinner? Sigh, that's nice. The kitchen here is still cold and empty."

"Then what about the person who cooks for you?"

"His cooking was too terrible, so I chased him away."

"Then what are you eating?"

"Just cooking some instant noodles; my bodyguard can at least do that."

Qin Yiyan made the decision happily.

But Chi Rong frowned as she listened: "Nonsense, you are still recovering, how can you eat that kind of food with no nutritional value? You wait, I'm coming back right now to cook for you!"

Having said that, Chi Rong hung up the phone.

Liu Xin'ai was standing right beside Chi Rong and had likely heard the conversation between the mother and son.

She could have pretended she didn't know anything.

But...

Liu Xin'ai only hesitated for a moment before asking, "Qin Yiyan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, he hasn't eaten yet, so I'm going to go arrange something for him."

"Is that so... Then I'll have the kitchen prepare a portion and send it over to him; you don't need to go through the trouble."

"This..."

"It's just a small thing, please don't decline."

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she arranged for someone to prepare a meal box.

At first, Chi Rong felt that Liu Xin'ai was very thoughtful.

But gradually, she began to feel embarrassed.

She was also worried: would Liu Xin'ai mistakenly think she had come here on purpose to accommodate Qin Yiyan?

This assumption made Chi Rong increasingly uneasy.

Fortunately, Liu Xin'ai's attitude toward Chi Rong remained the same; there was nothing unusual, and she hadn't overthought it at all.

However, Liu Qingze had thought a lot.

He had returned home from work very early.

Knowing that Chi Rong and Liu Xin'ai were chatting enthusiastically, he didn't go over to disturb them.

But there were some things he really had to get off his chest.

Liu Qingze waited until Chi Rong left with the meal box before appearing gloomily.

He said with an unpleasant expression: "Now, are mother and son working together to fool people?"

Liu Xin'ai knew what her younger brother meant.

But she didn't agree, so she defended Chi Rong: "Although Qin Yiyan is shameless, his mother is not that kind of person!"

"That's hard to say; for the sake of their own son, sometimes one's bottom line can be discarded."

"You, stop letting your imagination run wild. Besides, it's just an evening meal; if we don't finish it, wouldn't it just be thrown away anyway?"

"Throwing it away has no troublesome aftermath, but if you get involved with Qin Yiyan... that's hard to say."

Liu Xin'ai still felt her brother was worrying needlessly.

Seeing his sister acting as if she didn't take it to heart, Liu Qingze warned her: "Perhaps a little later, Qin Yiyan will call you to say he ate what we prepared and has a stomachache, asking you to go over and take a look."

"You're getting more and more outrageous!"

"Don't believe me? Then just wait and see."

Liu Qingze had decided that if Qin Yiyan really used such a low-down trick, no matter how late it was, he would follow along and scold that guy until he was speechless!

But in reality...

This night passed very quietly.

And this quietness slapped Liu Qingze in the face.

Liu Qingze felt a bit awkward.

After eating breakfast the next day, he left early for the company.

Watching her unusually quiet brother, Liu Xin'ai shook her head with a smile.

However, when she went out to head to the Laboratory, she happened to run into a car leaving next door.

Looking closely, Liu Xin'ai discovered that the person driving was Lin Ze.

And sitting in the back was none other than Qin Yiyan.

This guy... where is he going so early in the morning?

Liu Xin'ai only hesitated for a moment before having her driver follow the car in front.

At the same time, Qin Yiyan in the car ahead was resting with his eyes closed.

After a short while, he heard Lin Ze report to him: "Boss, there is a car following us behind."

These words made Qin Yiyan open his eyes and look back coldly.

Just one look...

"Isn't this the car Xin'ai usually rides in!?"

In other words...

A hypothesis emerged in Qin Yiyan's heart.

And Lin Ze, worthy of being Qin Yiyan's trusted aide, directly voiced the hypothesis he had formed: "Madam must be worried, which is why she followed us."

Lin Ze's words caused Qin Yiyan to involuntarily reveal a smile.

That smile was even quite warm.

But Lin Ze was a bit unsure of what to do at this moment, so he asked: "Are we still going to meet with President Zhang according to the plan?"

"Of course, and also..."

Qin Yiyan gave some instructions to Lin Ze.

And the content of what he instructed made Lin Ze's eyes widen involuntarily, feeling... so awkward.

Qin Yiyan noticed that Lin Ze was not speaking and that his back was very stiff, so he narrowed his eyes and asked: "What, you can't do it?"

He could still do it.

It was just... rather embarrassing.

But since Qin Yiyan paid a high salary, Lin Ze could only go against his own heart and say: "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely complete it well!"

Qin Yiyan was quite satisfied with this reply and nodded slightly.

The car drove near a teahouse and slowly came to a stop.

Qin Yiyan could have opened the car door himself and walked out slowly.

But he insisted on having Lin Ze come over to open the door.

Afterwards, he had Lin Ze support him as he walked slowly into the teahouse.

Lin Ze cooperated with Qin Yiyan very well.

But while cooperating, he also asked in a very low voice: "Is this... really necessary?"

"Just listen to my arrangements; you don't need to question them!"

"... Yes."

Liu Xin'ai had been watching from behind the whole time.

When she saw that "weak" appearance of Qin Yiyan, she immediately frowned.

She was still complaining about Qin Yiyan in her heart: if his body was unwell, he should have just stayed at home; why be so stubborn!?

But at the same time, Liu Xin'ai was also very curious about who exactly Qin Yiyan was going to meet...

Liu Xin'ai waited for a while.

After the people in front entered the teahouse, she followed them in silently.

Qin Yiyan, who had entered the teahouse a step earlier, had already met with a man in a crisp suit.

As soon as the man saw Qin Yiyan, he smiled with a very amiable face.

But he was a bit puzzled, so he asked: "Didn't we book a private room? Why did we change locations?"

Why else? Of course, it was because the space here was open, and their actions could be observed by Liu Xin'ai.

However, such a reason could not be spoken aloud.

Qin Yiyan looked around and casually made up a reason: "I feel the air here is fresher. President Zhang doesn't have any objections, right?"

"Of course not. Actually, I also think it's more comfortable here."

President Zhang invited Qin Yiyan to sit down, while at the same time, he unobtrusively sized up this young man.

Then, he spoke with a look of melancholy: "I heard before that Mr. Qin had met with an accident; it is truly fortunate that you have now turned the corner and are safe!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
