Chapter 1437: So You Were Willing

The dragonfly-skimming-the-water kiss left him wanting more.

But Qin Yiyan really did not want to disturb Liu Xin'ai's beautiful dream, so he suppressed the impulse.

Afterward, he lay down beside her, quietly watching her sleeping face.

Asleep, Liu Xin'ai's expression was very relaxed, her brows smoothed out, her whole person quiet and serene.

Seeing her like this made Qin Yiyan feel that the whole world had become wonderful.

Time also flowed by without him noticing.

In the midst of the quiet, Qin Yiyan's cell phone rang, ruining the mood.

Qin Yiyan hurriedly hung up the call, then looked back at Liu Xin'ai.

Fortunately, Liu Xin'ai only frowned slightly, then continued to sleep.

Qin Yiyan let out a sigh of relief.

But after seeing the number on the phone, his expression involuntarily turned serious.

Qin Yiyan set his phone to silent, put on his clothes, took one last lingering look at Liu Xin'ai, and then tiptoed out of the room.

At the same time, downstairs—

Liu Qingze had been busy at the company all night long; he was truly tired as a dog!

Now that he was home, it was only for a brief rest.

After eating a meal and taking a shower, he still had to go back to the company for a meeting.

As a result...

Was he hallucinating? Why, as soon as he returned, did he see Qin Yiyan sneaking out of his sister's room like a thief!!

Liu Qingze hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked over carefully.

This time he dared to be certain that he was not hallucinating!!

In an instant, Liu Qingze was no longer tired; he roared with full confidence: "What are you doing, why did you come out of my sister's room!?"

Qin Yiyan made a shushing gesture at Liu Qingze.

Only after he walked downstairs did he use a normal tone to say to Liu Qingze: "Don't shout; your sister hasn't woken up yet. She was very tired last night."

"What did she do? Why would she be tired?"

"She..."

Before Qin Yiyan could finish explaining, Liu Qingze reached out to stop him and said irritably: "Forget it, you'd better not answer me!"

Everyone was an adult; why exactly she would be tired... Liu Qingze knew what was going on just by thinking about it!

But precisely because he knew, Liu Qingze became gradually furious!

His face flushed red, and he shouted at Qin Yiyan: "You are too shameless! You, you even took advantage of someone in a vulnerable state!!"

Hmm...

Did yesterday's situation count as taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state?

Qin Yiyan considered it for a moment before saying: "Yesterday... was rather special."

"That's all an excuse! When my sister wakes up, I will go find her and ask about the situation! If you really bullied her, I will never let you off!"

Facing Liu Qingze's reprimand, Qin Yiyan fell silent.

In truth, he was also unsure what Liu Xin'ai's attitude would be after she woke up.

If she were truly angry...

Qin Yiyan raised his eyes, his tone firm: "If Xin'ai is truly angry, I will personally apologize to her! Now, I have matters to attend to; excuse me for a moment!"

Having said that, Qin Yiyan left from in front of Liu Qingze.

The air outside was clean and refreshing.

Qin Yiyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Afterward, he opened his eyes.

The depths of his gaze were cold!

It was time to go settle the score!

Qin Yiyan left with a fierce aura.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'ai was still fast asleep.

She had truly been exhausted yesterday.

Perhaps because she was tired, she slept very soundly; the alarm clock rang three times before she managed to crawl up.

When she saw the time on the clock...

Liu Xin'ai was startled!

She rarely woke up this late; now time was very tight, and she had to hurry to get ready to avoid being late!

Thinking this, Liu Xin'ai lifted the quilt to go wash up.

As a result, upon lifting the quilt...

She discovered she was not wearing a stitch!

Liu Xin'ai did not have the habit of sleeping naked; the scene before her left her stunned, and then... she began to remember bit by bit what had happened yesterday.

Then... was Qin Yiyan still in the room?

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly used the quilt to cover her body and then called out softly: "Qin Yiyan?"

There was no response from Qin Yiyan in the room.

It seemed he had left first.

A feeling of emptiness suddenly emerged in Liu Xin'ai's heart.

This feeling came strangely; Liu Xin'ai hurriedly shook her head, attempting to make herself act normal.

Actually, to become normal, it would be best not to think about Qin Yiyan.

Liu Xin'ai ordered herself to forget about yesterday's events and, at the fastest speed possible, tidied herself up.

However, the moment Liu Xin'ai pushed open the door...

She was startled by Liu Qingze, who was guarding the doorway!

Steadying her mind, Liu Xin'ai asked, "Why are you standing here silently? And... why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

"Never mind the dark circles, sister, you and Qin Yiyan yesterday..."

"Nothing happened between us!"

Before Liu Qingze could finish speaking, Liu Xin'ai used a firm tone to reach a conclusion.

But her conclusion... had not a shred of credibility.

Because her face was blushing intensely!

It was clearly a case of "there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here"!

Liu Qingze already knew the answer, and he asked indignantly, "Did Qin Yiyan force you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

It wasn't?

Liu Qingze cautiously changed his hypothesis: "Then you were willing!?"

Her younger brother's question made Liu Xin'ai extremely awkward.

She responded with some irritation: "Didn't I tell you, stop pursuing this!"

"I'm just afraid you'll be taken advantage of!"

"But I wasn't taken advantage of, can you be at ease now!"

No, Liu Qingze was not at ease at all!

His sister had clearly done this and that with Qin Yiyan...

Yet she didn't reject it?!

What did this represent?

Liu Qingze... simply dared not think too deeply!!

Looking at Liu Qingze's disillusioned expression, Liu Xin'ai knew he was imagining things.

Liu Xin'ai sighed: "Things aren't what you think, just... sigh, I'm going to be late, I'll explain it to you when there's time!"

In the end, Liu Xin'ai still couldn't bring herself to tell the truth.

Instead, as if escaping, she squeezed past Liu Qingze.

Liu Qingze stood where he was, sighing.

He thought to himself, since she and Qin Yiyan were both willing, what else was there to explain?

His sister's heart... was just too wavering!

The Liu Family siblings ended up parting on bad terms.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiyan sat in the car, resting his eyes.

At this moment, he felt physically pleased.

But the moment he thought about how this pleasure had come to be... the air pressure around him dropped very low!

Not long after, Qin Yiyan's phone vibrated again.

He looked down at it and answered the call.

Then, from the other end of the line, came Chi Rong's panicked voice: "Son, was it inconvenient to answer the phone just now?"

"Yes."

"Then where are you right now?"

"I'm just about to head home," Qin Yiyan thought for a moment, then added, "back to your place."

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong hurriedly warned: "Then you must absolutely not come back!"

His mother's words made Qin Yiyan frown slightly, and he asked: "Why, what happened?"

"Yes! Just a moment ago, people from the Wang Family suddenly showed up at our door, saying that Wang Yaran was beaten and hospitalized after being at our house last night, and she has a concussion now; they want us to give them an explanation!"
