Chapter 1458: The Future Will Only Get Better

Between a biological father and son, calculating back and forth like this, anyone would feel mentally and physically exhausted, wouldn't they?

Considering this, Liu Xin'ai suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

She raised her hand to pat his back, wanting to offer a few words of comfort.

But from behind her, a burst of coughing sounded.

Liu Xin'ai turned around and discovered Liu Qingze standing inside the iron gate.

The sky was already dark, and Liu Qingze stood in the shadows, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

However, Liu Xin'ai could guess that he must be looking displeased at this moment.

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit awkward.

She let go of Qin Yiyan and asked with feigned calmness, "Why are you here?"

"I've been here the whole time!"

So, had he seen the interaction between her and Qin Yiyan just now?

And heard what they said?

If that were truly the case... that would be really awkward!

A look of unease flashed across Liu Xin'ai's face.

Qin Yiyan, on the other hand, was quite at ease.

He even took the initiative to hold Liu Xin'ai's hand, interlacing his fingers with hers.

Liu Qingze saw his little move and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Her brother's stare made Liu Xin'ai want to pull her hand back.

But Qin Yiyan didn't let her.

He even raised their joined hands and issued a provocation to Liu Qingze: "Brother-in-law, I'm afraid you'll have to keep calling me brother-in-law from now on."

This was clearly a provocation!

Liu Qingze was extremely incensed.

But his sister's silence made him understand her choice.

... This made him even more incensed!!

However, Liu Qingze had a premonition beforehand that his sister... would likely be unable to withstand Qin Yiyan's relentless offensive.

Now that the premonition had come true, other than feeling depressed, he didn't actually fly into a rage.

At most, he just despised Qin Yiyan's behavior: "Is a title worth showing off? Childish!"

"The things you find childish are worth a thousand pieces of gold to me."

Well, now it wasn't just childish, it was also very cheesy.

Liu Qingze couldn't stand it; he frowned and said to Liu Xin'ai, "Sister, aren't you going back?"

"I... I'll give him a few more reminders."

Liu Qingze really didn't think there was anything left to remind Qin Yiyan about, given that he was a grown man.

But he respected his sister's choice, rolled his eyes at Qin Yiyan, and turned to walk back.

This action actually surprised Liu Xin'ai a little.

At the same time, it also made her heave a sigh of relief.

Qin Yiyan squeezed her palm, and after Liu Xin'ai looked over, he smiled and said, "Your brother has accepted me."

"How can you tell? Just because he didn't lose his temper?"

"Exactly."

Liu Xin'ai shook her head and expressed her own view: "Maybe Qing Ze is just tired today and doesn't feel like talking too much."

This...

Qin Yiyan understood Liu Qingze quite well.

When it came to his sister, even if he were exhausted, he could instantly switch into combat mode.

But since Liu Qingze didn't do that, there could only be one possibility.

Qin Yiyan curled his lips and concluded with full confidence: "My brother-in-law is still very smart."

This praise came suddenly.

But Liu Xin'ai could feel that while Qin Yiyan was ostensibly praising Liu Qingze, in reality... he seemed to be beating around the bush to praise himself.

Sigh, the human heart is truly full of twists and turns.

It's complicated!

Liu Xin'ai suddenly felt a wave of emotion, and Qin Yiyan, hearing her sigh, asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking, it would be nice if people could be more direct when interacting with each other."

This was Liu Xin'ai's realization at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyan beamed, thinking to himself that being direct was easy to handle.

The next second, Qin Yiyan said very directly: "If Qing Ze needs me for anything, just say the word. This time I will definitely be helping purely, without asking for anything in return."

"Mm."

"If Qing Ze has any dissatisfaction with me, you tell me too. I'll change what I can change, and if I can't, I'll communicate with Qing Ze in time."

"Mm."

"If you have time, you should think of me more."

Liu Xin'ai subconsciously wanted to say "Mm."

But after thinking about it...

She stopped herself just in time.

And she decided to end the conversation: "You go back; if there's anything, call me."

"Then if there's nothing, I can't call?"

Liu Xin'ai felt that this was just looking for trouble!

She tilted her head up and warned: "Qin Yiyan, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."

Qin Yiyan followed her advice readily, leaning over to kiss her cheek.

Liu Xin'ai widened her eyes and demanded: "Are you provoking me?!"

"How could that be? I was clearly listening to you."

"Then did I tell you to kiss me?"

"No, but you told me not to speak. Since I can't speak, I can only use practical action to express my thoughts."

As he spoke, Qin Yiyan wanted to express another thought.

But Liu Xin'ai pushed him away and frowned: "I still feel like you're provoking me!"

"Then your feeling is wrong; this is me being direct, the kind of direct you like."

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment before she understood Qin Yiyan's train of thought.

And then... she was speechless.

The kind of directness she wanted was completely different from what Qin Yiyan understood!

Moreover, Liu Xin'ai had a premonition that even if she exhausted her tongue explaining it to Qin Yiyan, this guy would still play dumb while knowing the truth.

Since that was the case...

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "I've changed now; I like subtle and reserved."

"You changed so quickly?"

"Yeah, women are fickle, didn't you know? If you didn't know, go back and study more."

After finishing, Liu Xin'ai turned her head and left.

And Qin Yiyan stood where he was, watching Liu Xin'ai's back, slowly revealing a smile.

His smile was very warm, and that woman's back made him feel at ease.

Recently, there had been many messy things, and every single one was draining Qin Yiyan's energy and exhausting his mind.

But what was magical was that as long as he could stay with Liu Xin'ai, that sense of fatigue would disappear.

And starting from today...

He could finally openly and honestly hold Liu Xin'ai in his arms!

Their future would also get better and better!!

Qin Yiyan felt optimistic and grateful.

But not everyone could be like him and wait for a day when things turned around.

Like Wang Yaran, after being sent to the Hospital, she was still acting crazy.

Occasionally, when she calmed down, she wouldn't say a single word.

The doctor diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress disorder and said she needed careful treatment.

But the Wang Family did not intend to provide her with treatment; in order to take revenge, they simply threw her into a psychiatric hospital, preparing to let her fend for herself.

However, one day, Wang Yaran went missing.

Along with her, her mother also went missing.

The Wang Family had a pile of messes to deal with, so they didn't pay any attention to this pair of mother and daughter.

From then on, Wang Yaran and her mother completely lost all news.

And on Qin Chao's side, he also couldn't wait for his reconciliation.

Although he was unwilling, under Qin Yiyan's coercion, he finally signed the divorce papers obediently.

He was allowed to stay at the Qin Family Villa for the time being; it just so happened that there were bodyguards to watch him, so he wouldn't be able to do anything out of line.

This result made Chi Rong very melancholy.

She felt that the life of the past few decades was just like a wisp of smoke.

Following the wind, it turned into nothingness.
