Chapter 1441: Are You Worried About Me?

Chi Rong glanced at Liu Xin'ai, hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not say what was in her heart.

Actually... what Qin Yiyan needed was not a mother's care.

But someone who truly understood him.

Chi Rong sighed softly, then lowered her head to drink tea.

Liu Xin'ai thought of something and asked, "Is it okay for Qin Yiyan to go to work now?"

"It's fine, he is recovering very well. Yesterday, when he argued with his father, he was still full of confidence and energy."

Full of energy?

Hmph, with her helping him with the antidote, of course he would be full of energy!

In the depths of Liu Xin'ai's heart, a faint sense of resentment arose.

But she did not forget to urge: "Healing is a long-term project. The wound must be handled carefully; once you become negligent, you are burying hidden dangers."

"Understood, I will pass your words on to Yiyan."

Chi Rong's response made Liu Xin'ai freeze.

Afterwards, she said somewhat awkwardly: "No need to pass it on, as long as you are clear about it."

"How can that be? Yiyan is the one who is injured; he still needs to take it seriously himself."

Chi Rong's words were very reasonable.

Liu Xin'ai could not find any fault with them.

It was just... a bit strange.

Forget it, she wouldn't waste time on this.

Liu Xin'ai breathed lightly, ordering herself to forget the previous topic.

Then...

She began to secretly observe Chi Rong's state.

From the moment Liu Xin'ai and Chi Rong met, she had noticed that Chi Rong was glowing with health.

A person can pretend to be in a good mood.

But the radiance in her eyes cannot be faked.

Especially that sense of relaxation, which is even harder to disguise.

And at this moment, there was that kind of relaxation in the depths of Chi Rong's eyes.

So, did the marital dispute and all those unsightly false reports not have any impact on Chi Rong?

Liu Xin'ai was not very sure.

She wanted to observe a little more.

However, when Liu Xin'ai peeked at Chi Rong again, she was caught red-handed by Chi Rong!

Chi Rong looked at Liu Xin'ai with a smile and took the initiative to ask: "Are you worried about me?"

Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and nodded gently.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Although I had a fight with Qin Chao, it was very satisfying, and I even slapped him!"

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai gasped.

Then she muttered: "Is, is that really okay?"

"What's wrong with it? Based on the foolish things he did to Yiyan, he deserved to be hit! And I even took the opportunity to propose a divorce!"

Liu Xin'ai was stunned once again.

At this very moment, Liu Xin'ai suddenly realized that her previous worries were unnecessary.

Chi Rong had her own ideas this time, and she also knew what she wanted.

And...

Liu Xin'ai suddenly looked wistful and muttered: "I really envy you."

"Envy me for what, the divorce? No need to envy, you can also..."

Chi Rong didn't even finish her sentence before she quickly stopped herself.

She thought to herself, what kind of nonsense is this, why would she encourage her daughter-in-law to divorce her son?

How foolish!

The more Chi Rong thought about it, the more awkward she felt.

She didn't want to talk anymore, just lowered her head and used drinking tea to cover up her discomfort.

Liu Xin'ai didn't say anything; she could also see that Chi Rong was very embarrassed.

To make Chi Rong feel better, Liu Xin'ai wanted to chat about another topic.

As for what topic...

Thinking of how Chi Rong was watering flowers when she first came in, Liu Xin'ai had an idea.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze landed in the direction of the window, and she asked as if making casual conversation: "Is that pot of flowers something you brought?"

Chi Rong looked back and said: "No, it was sent along with the flower tea before, but no one took care of it, and the leaves have withered and turned yellow."

"That's quite a pity; it should be very beautiful when it blooms."

"Yes, it is."

"Why not... buy some more flowers to decorate?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong became interested: "I was just thinking about this while watering the flowers earlier!"

"Since you have the idea, why not go now? It just so happens that I can help you weigh in."

"But... don't you still have to go to the Laboratory?"

Liu Xin'ai smiled and explained: "I took a half-day leave."

Upon hearing this, the last of Chi Rong's concerns vanished.

She packed up briefly, then happily headed out with Liu Xin'ai.

The awkwardness between the two of them had already vanished, quietly and without a trace.

They were even offering each other suggestions on which flowers would be better to buy.

They were truly chatting with great enthusiasm.

Yet by comparison, on Qin Yiyan's side... the atmosphere was dreadfully oppressive.

However, Qin Yiyan's expression did not change, and he even took the initiative to pour a cup of coffee for Qin Chao, who was sitting opposite him.

Qin Chao had barely slept last night.

His complexion was haggard, and he truly needed this cup of coffee.

But how could he be in the mood to drink anything?

At this moment, he stared fixedly at Qin Yiyan, his gaze icy.

Qin Yiyan naturally knew why his father was angry.

Yet he did not mention the reason for his father's anger at all, instead feigning consideration as he said:

"Father, you have been working so hard for the company's affairs lately; it really has been too exhausting. Now it's fine, I can continue working, and you can also relax a bit."

Relax, indeed—he was simply discarding the donkey once the grinding was done!

Qin Chao sneered and then issued a challenge: "What do you take me for? Someone you call when you need them and drive away when you don't?"

"How can you say that? I am also just being considerate of your exhaustion, and besides, you yourself said before that the pressure in the company is high and you wanted to go back and rest."

"Enough, stop beating around the bush; you know what I want to talk about!"

Qin Chao understood Qin Yiyan very well.

He knew that he was best at playing dumb while knowing exactly what was going on.

Since this brat was playing the fool now, Qin Chao simply took the initiative to bring the topic into the open: "Why you returned to the company at this time, you and I both know clearly! But I will not leave, at least not right now!"

"Does Father feel that if the rumors outside are intensifying, and you leave the company at this time, people will think it is because you have a guilty conscience?"

"That's right!"

"But you should have a guilty conscience."

Qin Yiyan's words made Qin Chao narrow his eyes, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his gaze.

Watching his father's angry appearance, Qin Yiyan smiled faintly and said: "These are all things you deserve, Father; you shouldn't be so unwilling to accept it."

"You, you unfilial son, how dare you say such things to me!?"

"I am already speaking to you calmly and reasonably; what else do you want? For me to make endless concessions just to fulfill the empty reputation of being 'filial'? Sorry, I am not that pedantic."

"What kind of talk is that? Isn't it only natural and right for a son to be filial to his father? You weren't like this before; I see... you have been corrupted by Liu Xin'ai!!"

Seeing his father throwing dirt on Liu Xin'ai, Qin Yiyan's smile faded.

Afterward, he lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze carrying mockery: "That is a huge mistake; everything I am, I learned from you, and I have even surpassed the master!"

This Qin Yiyan was clearly implying something about Qin Chao.

Qin Chao naturally could hear it!

This made him absolutely furious!!

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he grabbed Jiang Baobao's wrist, his voice as cold as ice: "What did you just say? Say it again!"
