Chapter 1432: I Hope You Have Me in Your Heart

~7 min read 1,324 words

Liu Xin'ai retorted, "Shouldn't I be angry?!"

"You should, you should, it's just..."

To be honest, Qin Yiyan felt that Liu Xin'ai did not look very angry.

In his expectations, if Liu Xin'ai knew the truth, she might fly into a rage.

But at this moment, she... only furrowed her brows, and the sense of exhaustion on her was heavy.

In her eyes, there was also a hint of impatience.

Just as Qin Yiyan was secretly speculating, Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth and spoke: "The injection I just gave you was an anesthetic; it won't have any effect on your body."

Her original intention was to tell Qin Yiyan that his body was fine, to let him leave quickly and stop being an eyesore.

But Qin Yiyan asked instead: "So when you made an appointment with me before, it wasn't because you wanted to go on a date with me, but to test me?"

"Yes!"

"Then the two of us are really six of one and half a dozen of the other."

Qin Yiyan was just sighing about it purely.

Liu Xin'ai, however, immediately refuted: "How can this be the same! You had already plotted everything, and you even watched me worry for you and run around on your behalf! As for me, I just didn't want to continue being a fool, being toyed with by you!"

Liu Xin'ai's emotions suddenly became agitated.

But the reason for her agitation was not being deceived, but being classified as the same kind by Qin Yiyan...

This made Qin Yiyan fall silent.

Then, he tentatively asked: "Why did you worry for me? Is it because my status in your heart is very different?"

"Of course it's different!"

Qin Yiyan was stunned, and a happy expression slowly climbed onto his cheeks.

But the next instant, he heard Liu Xin'ai add: "At the very least, you are my husband in name!"

Husband... in name?

This addition was truly cold.

Qin Yiyan laughed at himself and said again: "You could also not care whether I live or die."

"But I don't want others to point fingers at my spine; even if I separate from you, it must be done openly and honestly!"

"Then you could make public what I have done to you, and no one would blame you for a single word."

Qin Yiyan's suggestion made Liu Xin'ai sneer out loud.

Then, she retorted: "And then what? Let others watch me become a joke and discuss my rights and wrongs behind my back?"

Qin Yiyan naturally did not mean that.

He said a bit anxiously: "Actually, I just want to hear you admit that you have me in your heart!"

Liu Xin'ai had originally been wearing a serious face.

But Qin Yiyan's words... made her avert her gaze involuntarily.

She did not respond either, only saying: "Go back to the Qin Family; don't waste any more time."

"How do you know I am wasting time?"

"There is no possibility between us."

Liu Xin'ai's tone was very flat.

Yet it made Qin Yiyan's heart ache fiercely!

After a moment, Qin Yiyan smiled.

Then he said: "I know, and I don't have too many extravagant hopes. I just want to stay by your side, look at you, listen to you talk, even if it's just doing some trivial things."

Trivial things...

Liu Xin'ai thought of something and asked: "Is that why you wanted to learn basic medical knowledge?"

Qin Yiyan nodded somewhat awkwardly: "I originally wanted to learn a thing or two so I could discuss it with you, but that... is really hard to learn. I have to spend a long time just to understand one page of content."

Qin Yiyan felt this was a very clumsy attempt.

Only after trying it himself did he know how unreliable this method was.

But he felt it was normal for it to be difficult; for a layman to come into contact with medical textbooks for the first time, it was no different from reading a heavenly book.

Liu Xin'ai felt that such efforts were meaningless, so she said: "Don't make things difficult for yourself."

"No, that's not making things difficult, it's a pleasure!"

"With this time, wouldn't it be better to do something that can make you truly happy?"

"Seeing you is what makes me truly happy!"

Liu Xin'ai tried hard to make their conversation more normal and serious.

But Qin Yiyan was always taking the opportunity to express his feelings.

And his tone was affectionate, his gaze deep.

This made Liu Xin'ai increasingly irritable.

Finally, Liu Xin'ai simply stood up and said coldly: "Since you seem to be fine, go back yourself!"

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai was about to abandon him, Qin Yiyan became anxious.

He sat up immediately and even grabbed Liu Xin'ai's wrist.

But as he sat up like this...

The shirt on his body slid down!

It turned out that because he had just undergone an examination, Qin Yiyan's buttons had not been fastened.

And because he had been lying on the bed covered by a quilt, both Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan had overlooked this matter.

Now, both of them had discovered it.

Both of them felt a little... awkward.

Liu Xin'ai wanted to pull her hand back, but she tried several times and did not succeed.

This made Liu Xin'ai say anxiously, "Let go!"

"I won't let go, you... help me button my shirt first!"

When Qin Yiyan said this, he had no confidence at all.

Because he himself knew that this request was truly unreasonable.

But he was very good at making unreasonable things seem reasonable.

Qin Yiyan said righteously, "You were the one who unbuttoned them, so you have to button them back up!"

Liu Xin'ai frowned, and she asked in disbelief, "It's just a few buttons, can't you button them yourself?"

"That's right, it's just a few buttons, why can't you help me button them?"

This attitude of Qin Yiyan's made Liu Xin'ai press her lips together.

She discovered that when Qin Yiyan acted shamelessly, he was truly shameless!

And Qin Yiyan proved with his actions... that he could be even more shameless!

He said, "If you don't help, then I'll go out like this."

Liu Xin'ai's mind went blank for a moment, and then her voice was icy: "Qin Yiyan, are you threatening me!?"

"Yes!"

"You, how did you suddenly become so shameless?!"

"It's all because you forced me to, using anesthesia on me, causing my finger dexterity to decrease, so I can't button my shirt!"

Qin Yiyan even started acting aggrieved himself.

But Liu Xin'ai, who was a doctor, knew that this guy was just spouting nonsense!

Under Liu Xin'ai's gaze full of contempt, Qin Yiyan tilted his head back slightly and sighed, "I am truly miserable; it's one thing that my wife doesn't love me, but she also doesn't care whether I live or die!"

And Qin Yiyan's mournful words gave Liu Xin'ai goosebumps!

She couldn't take it anymore and made a concession: "Fine, fine, the more you talk, the more outrageous it gets! I can help you button your shirt, but from now on, you are not allowed to say a single word!"

Qin Yiyan nodded quickly.

And he sat there quietly, truly not saying a single word.

But Liu Xin'ai looked at him with a helpless expression and gestured that Qin Yiyan was still holding her wrist!

Realizing it belatedly, Qin Yiyan quickly let go and smiled apologetically.

Afterwards, Qin Yiyan sat up straight to make it convenient for Liu Xin'ai to button his shirt.

Liu Xin'ai rubbed her wrist, then reached out and lightly touched the smooth buttons on the shirt.

This was just a simple action.

But in the air, an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly arose.

Qin Yiyan lowered his eyes and could see the top of Liu Xin'ai's head.

It was very soft there; in the past, he could still rub it without any reservations.

Now...
