Chapter 1440: When Will They Move Out?

The lunch box was heavy; Liu Xin'ai shook it gently and discovered it contained soup.

Chi Rong then said, "I brewed longan and red date chicken soup today. I remember you like drinking it, so I brought some over for you."

"This... it's too much trouble for you."

"It's no trouble. Once the food is cooked, it's just a few steps to bring it over to you."

Chi Rong's words made Liu Xin'ai raise her eyebrows slightly.

A hypothesis emerged in her heart.

The next second, Chi Rong confirmed her guess: "These past few days... there have been some matters at home, so I am temporarily moving in here with Yiyan."

Chi Rong spoke rather vaguely.

But Liu Xin'ai immediately associated it with the news Liu Qingze had shown her...

In an instant, she understood everything.

Liu Xin'ai took the initiative to hold Chi Rong's hand, her voice gentle yet firm: "What outsiders say is not important; the innocent will clear themselves!"

Chi Rong was stunned upon hearing this, then she revealed a self-deprecating smile: "It seems you know as well. Sigh, it is truly shameful."

"Please don't say that; the matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself!"

Liu Xin'ai did not feel that Chi Rong was at fault.

And why should an innocent person bear responsibilities they shouldn't have to bear?

In any case, Liu Xin'ai would firmly stand on Chi Rong's side, and would do her best to protect and comfort her!

Chi Rong could feel Liu Xin'ai's firmness.

Chi Rong couldn't help but sigh, then murmured: "You, you are still so kind."

After the exclamation, Chi Rong extended an invitation to Liu Xin'ai again: "When you have time, come over to my place and sit for a while."

This...

Liu Xin'ai revealed a troubled expression.

Chi Rong guessed what Liu Xin'ai was worried about.

In order to put Liu Xin'ai at ease, Chi Rong added: "Yiyan is preparing to go to work; he will be very busy and won't be home often."

This addition was very necessary.

The concerns in Liu Xin'ai's heart lessened quite a bit, and she even smiled as she responded: "Okay!"

"Then I'll head back. Oh, that soup, be sure to drink it while it's hot."

Liu Xin'ai gave a nod and moved to see Chi Rong to the door.

But Chi Rong waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to be seen out.

Just like that, Liu Xin'ai stood there, watching Chi Rong walk out of the Liu Family.

The moment her figure disappeared, a somewhat teasing voice sounded from behind Liu Xin'ai: "Are they all planning to move over here as a family?"

While Liu Xin'ai was chatting with Chi Rong just now, Liu Qingze had been secretly hiding upstairs listening.

Therefore, he knew the news of Chi Rong moving in.

In an instant, quite a few conspiracy theories popped into his head.

Yet Liu Xin'ai felt it was normal for Chi Rong to move over at this time, because...

"Qin Yiyan's parents must have had a very unpleasant falling out."

"Really? How come I see Qin Yiyan's mother's complexion as quite good? There isn't a hint of the anger or madness of a couple tearing each other apart."

Her younger brother's words made Liu Xin'ai look slightly helpless.

She shook her head and countered: "Everyone is an adult; who would wear their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on their face? Whether one is hurting inside or not, only the person experiencing it knows best."

Liu Xin'ai was lamenting.

But on Liu Qingze's side, even more questions emerged:

"Sister, in your opinion, how will this farce end? When exactly will Qin Yiyan and his mother be able to move out?"

Liu Xin'ai did not know the answer to these questions either.

But even if she did, she wouldn't tell Liu Qingze.

Seeing his sister not speaking, Liu Qingze pressed: "Sister, say something."

"Say what?"

"Naturally, the question I just asked you!"

Liu Xin'ai breathed in gently.

Then she looked into Liu Qingze's eyes and asked back: "Did I not tell you before, don't gossip about other people's private affairs?"

Other people?

Liu Qingze pursed his lips and said: "You and Qin Yiyan haven't divorced yet, after all, so Qin Yiyan's parents are your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since we are all related by marriage, what's wrong with me being concerned?"

Liu Qingze looked full of righteous indignation.

But Liu Xin'ai knew this brat just wanted to gossip.

Liu Xin'ai would not give him that opportunity.

Stuffing the insulated lunch box in her hand into Liu Qingze's arms, Liu Xin'ai changed the subject: "Take this to the kitchen, we'll have extra food tonight."

Extra food was no problem.

But his sister still hadn't given him an answer.

Liu Qingze wanted to press further.

But Liu Xin'ai lifted her feet and went upstairs.

Watching his sister's back, Liu Qingze knew she was avoiding the topic.

Sigh, what would it hurt to just say it? He wouldn't go spreading it around!

Liu Qingze felt depressed.

Seeing the insulated lunch box in his arms, he opened it carelessly to take a look.

And the moment the lid was opened...

So fragrant!!

In this instant, Liu Qingze no longer wanted to press for answers; he only wanted to urge the servant to serve the meal quickly!

And this soup, it must be brought to the table!

Liu Qingze was swallowing his saliva.

Meanwhile, back in her room, anxiety gradually surfaced in Liu Xin'ai's heart.

She... was a bit worried about Chi Rong.

The matter had blown up so big, and Chi Rong had even moved here to live with her son, which showed that she and Qin Chao... must have had a falling out.

And Chi Rong liked to suppress her troubled emotions deep in her heart...

No, the more Liu Xin'ai thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

She decided to go take a look tomorrow while Qin Yiyan was not at home.

The next day—

To ensure Qin Yiyan was not at home, Liu Xin'ai had someone watch the movements next door.

After watching for only a short while, the servant came to say, "Mr. Qin has left by car."

"Are you sure the person in the car was him?"

"I'm sure, the car window was open."

That was good!

Liu Xin'ai did not delay; she asked her professor for a half-day leave and then stepped over to the house next door.

After Qin Yiyan moved next door, he never hired servants; only bodyguards were responsible for cleaning and his three daily meals.

Although the bodyguards cleaned very diligently.

But after all, they were not women, and the result of their cleaning was that it was clean, yet cold and lifeless.

But Chi Rong had only been here for one day, and she had already made the house neat and tidy, and the home was filled with the atmosphere of life.

At this moment, Chi Rong was watering the flowers.

Hearing footsteps at the doorway, she thought it was Qin Yiyan who had forgotten something and returned to retrieve it.

But listening more carefully...

No, these footsteps were light.

Could it be...

Chi Rong immediately turned her head and, the moment she saw Liu Xin'ai, revealed a smile.

Seeing Chi Rong's radiant smile, Liu Xin'ai could not help but curve her lips and ask, "I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

"Not disturbing at all, not at all. I was just bored; I'm very happy that you could come!"

Chi Rong was truly happy; she took Liu Xin'ai's hand and led her to sit on the sofa.

Afterwards, Chi Rong even personally brewed rose tea for Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai held up the teacup, sniffed it, and then praised, "This rose tea is so fragrant."

"This is high-quality rose tea. I had someone send daily necessities to Yiyan before and specifically sent this to him. It turns out that when I was tidying the cupboard today, I found it had been shoved into a corner."

"It's a good thing you found it, otherwise it wouldn't be long before it was cleaned out as trash."

"Indeed, it would really be a waste of a good thing."

Chi Rong took the opportunity to complain, feeling that Qin Yiyan lived too sloppily.

Regarding this, Liu Xin'ai expressed her agreement.

She also said, "Now that you are taking care of him, his life will surely be able to return to normal."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
