Chapter 1428: Her Explanation, Not Believing a Single Word

Pressing her lips together, Jiang Baobao changed her wording: "I'm not a professional Doctor, I was just speaking casually; you don't have to take it to heart."

Liu Xin'ai... had already taken it to heart.

She raised her eyes, and a smile returned to her face.

She said, "Actually, what you said makes quite a lot of sense. I will arrange for an examination as soon as possible."

Liu Xin'ai was not just humoring Jiang Baobao; she truly had plans in that regard.

Jiang Baobao could see her sincerity and knew that her own hint had taken effect.

But there was one more thing Jiang Baobao needed to remind Liu Xin'ai of: "Before you do the examination, absolutely do not let Qin Yiyan know, so he doesn't prepare in advance."

"Prepare... in advance?"

Jiang Baobao had relaxed for a moment, and the words that slipped out had not been carefully considered.

And they were caught directly by Liu Xin'ai!

This made Jiang Baobao secretly annoyed with herself.

Yet on the surface, she patted her own forehead.

Then she said self-deprecatingly, "I meant, don't let him let his imagination run wild; I just had a slip of the tongue."

A smile touched the corners of Liu Xin'ai's mouth as she asked, "Someone as sharp as you also has slips of the tongue?"

"Taking care of children is exhausting, and my energy is already stretched thin, so naturally, there will be times when I have a slip of the tongue."

"That's true. Then, can you tell me why Qin Yiyan would let his imagination run wild?"

"Think about it, you're a Doctor. If you open your mouth and tell someone to go for an examination, their first reaction will definitely be that there is something seriously wrong with them somewhere."

This explanation... was indeed reasonable.

Jiang Baobao had been observing Liu Xin'ai the whole time.

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai did not object and was even nodding slightly, she knew she had been persuaded by the reason she had given.

This made Jiang Baobao secretly happy.

Then, she continued: "So you can't state your intentions directly; instead, you have to think of a reason to get him out first, and then, while he's not paying attention, quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately send him to the Hospital!"

Jiang Baobao knew that Qin Yiyan's examination results would definitely be fine.

But the seed of doubt had already been planted in Liu Xin'ai's heart.

Liu Xin'ai was so smart that it wouldn't be long before she discovered Qin Yiyan's disguise!

However...

Whether Liu Xin'ai would be happy or angry once she knew the truth...

Jiang Baobao wasn't sure.

Because she wasn't sure, the look Jiang Baobao gave Liu Xin'ai was filled with probing.

Yet, as she watched, Jiang Baobao suddenly noticed...

Xu Xiaoxiao had already put down her chopsticks and was instead staring at her with a serious expression!

Liu Xin'ai's whole heart was focused on considering the matter of Qin Yiyan, so she did not sense Jiang Baobao's anomaly.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had sensed it!

She felt that...

Jiang Baobao seemed to be leading Liu Xin'ai to think in a certain direction.

That was a bit strange.

Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze became increasingly sharp.

And it made Jiang Baobao increasingly uneasy.

However, just at this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao's phone rang.

As soon as she answered the call, the person on the other end spoke in a frantic rush.

Xu Xiaoxiao's expression changed as she listened, and she hurriedly said, "I understand, I'll head back now!"

After finishing, Xu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and began to wolf down the remaining food on her plate.

Liu Xin'ai also came back to her senses.

She asked, "What's this about..."

"There's an urgent matter at the school; I have to go back and check on it."

"Then eat slowly, you'll choke!"

Xu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, took another sip of cola, grabbed her bag, and left in a whirlwind.

Watching that woman's retreating figure, Liu Xin'ai sighed.

Whenever work was mentioned, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to recharge at any moment, completely unaware of fatigue.

It really made one have to admire her!

After her exclamation, Liu Xin'ai prepared to invite Jiang Baobao to continue enjoying the meal.

But just looking at her...

She discovered that Jiang Baobao was showing a relaxed expression.

It was the expression of someone suddenly relaxing after being tense.

But the problem was... had Jiang Baobao just been tense?

Liu Xin'ai felt puzzled.

And Jiang Baobao fanned herself with her hand, muttering, "It feels so hot."

Liu Xin'ai hadn't felt hot originally, but after hearing her say that, it seemed...

It was quite hot.

Liu Xin'ai simply took off her coat, and instantly, she felt much better.

However, following this movement of hers, Jiang Baobao's gaze was drawn to a patch of marks on her arm.

After looking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "How did your arm get bruised like that?"

Liu Xin'ai lowered her head to look.

She saw that on her snow-white skin, there was an extra patch of blue and purple.

Mentioning this, Liu Xin'ai wanted to sigh.

After practicing for these past few days, her Acupuncture technique had become much more proficient.

Once she became proficient, Liu Xin'ai raised the standards for herself.

For example, to be like Elder Zhou, where inserting the needles doesn't hurt, and the technique is gentle and soft.

As a result, after practicing like this, Liu Xin'ai ended up hurting herself, and quite severely at that.

Thinking that her friend was still waiting for her explanation, Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "It's nothing, I was just practicing Acupuncture on myself."

Practicing... Acupuncture?

Jiang Baobao thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is this for... Qin Yiyan?"

Liu Xin'ai denied it without even thinking: "Of course not, I just suddenly felt that Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and full of charm, so I wanted to put some effort into studying it!"

Liu Xin'ai refused righteously.

But Jiang Baobao didn't believe a single word.

Instead, she felt that this woman... was trying to cover up the truth.

Sigh, it seems Liu Xin'ai has truly invested some genuine feelings after all.

Then, when she discovers she has been deceived, will she feel very sad?

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but sigh again.

Her sigh was very faint.

Liu Xin'ai, who was lost in her own thoughts, did not hear it.

At this moment, she was thinking about how exactly she could trick Qin Yiyan into going to the Hospital without him finding out.

Liu Xin'ai needed to find a foolproof method.

But before she could come up with anything, Qin Yiyan took the initiative to show up at her door.

Qin Yiyan would occasionally visit the Liu Family.

But in most cases, Liu Xin'ai would find some random excuse to send him away.

Or she would simply not show her face, letting him ask the servants to get whatever he needed directly.

But this time, Liu Xin'ai acted out of character and actually invited him into her bedroom.

Qin Yiyan was a little flattered.

But in order to keep a low profile, Qin Yiyan dared not reveal his happy emotions.

Instead, he said very calmly: "I have a few questions and would like to ask for your advice."

"Ask for my advice?"

Qin Yiyan nodded, then took out a book on basic medical theory.

His action left Liu Xin'ai completely confused.

Yet Qin Yiyan very seriously flipped the book to page 34, pointed at the part underlined in red, and asked: "What does this sentence mean?"

Liu Xin'ai did not speak; she just stared at Qin Yiyan in silence.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan asked: "You don't know either?"

"I do know, but... this shouldn't be the kind of book you read, right?"

Qin Yiyan is an elite in the business world.

Even if he wanted to read widely, he shouldn't be reading introductory textbooks that medical students need to study, right?

Qin Yiyan understood what Liu Xin'ai was surprised about, so he explained: "My body is too weak, so I'm very anxious and want to self-study some basic knowledge."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible hand were pressing down on everyone's chest.
