Chapter 1444: Something Fishy Is Going On

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xin'ai asked tentatively, "Do you... want to try some?"

Cai Xiaotang finally spoke up: "You still have the mood to eat?!"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Because outside..."

Before Cai Xiaotang could finish her sentence, Jiang Baobao gently tugged at her.

Signaling her not to say anything impulsive.

Yet at this moment, Liu Xin'ai took the initiative to break the topic: "You don't need to worry about me; I have seen big scenes before, and those reporters won't affect me."

Is it really... not affecting her?

Cai Xiaotang felt a doubt arise.

But before the question could be spoken, she first sniffed.

Then, saliva rapidly secreted in her mouth.

Cai Xiaotang swallowed her saliva and subconsciously changed the subject: "What flavor of instant noodles is this? It smells quite fragrant."

"Tomato beef brisket flavor. It's a new brand, and the taste is not bad. Do you want to eat some? There are other flavors too."

As Liu Xin'ai spoke, she turned and opened a cabinet.

The cabinet was large and filled with instant food products.

The dazzling array of items surprised Cai Xiaotang: "There are actually so many delicious things!?"

She is currently in a special period, and she must control her intake of these nutritious-less but delicious foods.

Before she had to control it, Cai Xiaotang didn't have that much desire for junk food.

But the more she had to control it, the deeper her obsession became.

Now, looking at a cabinet full of delicacies, she was about to cry with envy!

Liu Xin'ai could feel her overflowing envy.

That greedy little look was quite funny.

Liu Xin'ai held back her laughter and said, "These were all sent over by Jiang Chenghao before."

Jiang Chenghao?

Hearing this name, Cai Xiaotang muttered, "He hasn't had much movement lately, has he?"

Bringing this up, Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes, her voice faint: "He has indeed not appeared for a while."

At this moment, Jiang Baobao spoke up to explain: "Uncle recently needs to go abroad frequently to discuss collaborations."

As her voice fell, she saw Liu Xin'ai let out a soft sigh of relief.

This little detail... is quite intriguing.

Jiang Chenghao has indeed been going abroad for work frequently lately.

But Jiang Baobao always felt that Uncle was using work as an excuse to go heal his heartbreak.

After all, the time he left coincided exactly with the time Liu Xin'ai recovered her memory.

It is hard not to make a connection.

Just as Jiang Baobao was deep in thought, Cai Xiaotang had already impatiently picked out a cup of instant noodles.

Patting the noodle cup with her small hand, she licked her lips and said impatiently, "I feel like this will be delicious!"

"Then let's eat this. Baobao, what about you? What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses and responded with a faint smile: "The same as her is fine."

"Then I'll go make the noodles. You two sit down first."

Liu Xin'ai didn't just make noodles for everyone; she also picked out some small snacks from the cabinet, such as braised eggs, grilled sausages, and spicy enoki mushrooms.

She placed them all on the table.

It was very sumptuous.

Afterward, the three women gathered around the table and ate with great delight.

Especially Cai Xiaotang.

She slurped the instant noodles and then looked up with emotion: "Suddenly dreaming back to when I was working overtime, eating a bowl of instant noodles, and then continuing to rush the project!"

Recalling the past, Cai Xiaotang felt as if it were a lifetime ago.

Jiang Baobao felt curious and asked, "What about the little maid from before? If she were still here, she definitely wouldn't let you eat instant noodles."

Thinking of Xiao'an, Liu Xin'ai smiled faintly.

Then she replied, "Everyone is busy working themselves to the bone in the Laboratory, but I have someone taking care of me personally; it's too unreasonable, so I didn't let her come."

"That little girl would definitely cry if she knew she couldn't take care of you."

Hmm... that is certain.

Liu Xin'ai was smiling.

But inside, there was a faint melancholy.

And Jiang Baobao poked the noodles with her fork and finally got to the main point: "You also know about the news regarding Qin Yiyan?"

Liu Xin'ai's expression did not change, and she replied, "I know."

"Then what are your thoughts?"

"Qin Yiyan never touched her at all; it's all that woman acting out a one-woman show."

Liu Xin'ai's emotions were very calm, and her tone was certain.

Seeing her speak so confidently, Jiang Baobao tilted her head and asked, "You trust him that much?"

Liu Xin'ai's lips moved, but she did not admit it, only saying, "This isn't trust, but a reasonable deduction."

"Then what is the basis for your deduction? Your own charm?"

"What does this have to do with my charm?"

"Because you are attractive to Qin Yiyan, that is why he isn't interested in other women."

This reason... is simply wild!

Liu Xin'ai sighed: "It's not like that, it's just... forget it, it's not important anyway."

She had originally wanted to explain it carefully to her friends.

But that kind of thing... how could she explain it?

Liu Xin'ai could only lower her head, hoping the topic would end there.

Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao could see that Liu Xin'ai had something she couldn't easily say.

But this inability to speak seemed to reveal a hint of... ambiguity.

The two exchanged a look, feeling that there was something fishy going on!

Although curious, the two of them did not press further.

Jiang Baobao only said: "Before coming here, I thought you would be affected, but now it seems we were overthinking it."

"Mm, but thank you for your concern anyway."

"If you really want to thank us..."

Opposite her, Cai Xiaotang only said half of her sentence.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai look over, she continued with a mischievous smile: "Why not tell us... how you plan to handle your relationship with Qin Yiyan."

Liu Xin'ai immediately lowered her eyes and said in a deliberately flat tone: "There's nothing to handle, it's just like that."

Just like that...

This answer made Cai Xiaotang's smile deepen.

Afterwards, she prompted: "Someone was very firm about getting a divorce before, so what about now, have you changed your mind?"

"No, I still want to divorce! But... Qin Yiyan's mother is about to divorce his father recently, so I shouldn't join in the excitement at a time like this."

This woman's resolve was clearly wavering.

And Qin Yiyan's parents are getting a divorce...

Wait a minute!

Jiang Baobao suddenly sat up straight and asked with a look of surprise: "Qin Yiyan's parents are getting a divorce?"

"Mm."

It is common knowledge that Chi Rong has a cold relationship with her husband and has even lived separately.

Everyone thought she would maintain it like that for the sake of the family's reputation.

Who would have thought that she would actually take such a brave step.

It really takes a lot of courage!

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart.

And after a moment of silence, Cai Xiaotang reached a conclusion: "If Qin Yiyan's father hadn't touched Wang Yaran, why would it have to reach the point of divorce?"

"He didn't touch Wang Yaran, but... he did something unforgivable to someone else!"

Even now, when Liu Xin'ai thinks of what Qin Chao did, she still feels it is despicable.

And her indignant expression made Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang both realize that the affairs of the Qin Family... were not that simple.

There must be some secrets involved.

Since it was a secret, Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao did not ask further.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
