Chapter 413: You Are an Insignificant Person to Me

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, Qin Yiyan did not react.

Liu Xin'ai looked at him with some confusion and repeated, "You can go back now, I'm fine..."

"Go back for what? To let me help you take revenge?" Qin Yiyan interrupted her with an amused tone.

Liu Xin'ai was stunned upon hearing this, not quite understanding what he meant.

She pondered for two seconds before continuing, "Go back to attend the banquet... It wouldn't be appropriate for you to just leave like this, would it? Although I don't know that young lady from earlier, she must have a background, and for you to just walk away like that..."

"So what?" Qin Yiyan asked back, looking completely indifferent.

Liu Xin'ai was suddenly speechless and couldn't be bothered to say more.

If he didn't care himself, what was there for her to worry about?

In any case, the one invited tonight was the Qin Family, not the Liu Family; she was merely accompanying him.

Liu Xin'ai didn't say anything else, but suddenly heard Qin Yiyan ask with a probing tone, "Are you... not angry at all?"

"Angry about what?" Liu Xin'ai asked back expressionlessly.

Qin Yiyan's expression became even more curious: "You were deliberately tripped just now, and in front of a crowd; shouldn't you be angry?"

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for a moment, and she shook her head faintly: "There's nothing to be angry about. Besides, didn't you just declare that you would tell her father? She must be panicking right now; do you want me to go and make her trip again?"

Her tone was calm, as if she truly no longer took the matter to heart.

Qin Yiyan suddenly let out a hum of laughter and lightly brushed his own lip with his finger.

There was still a slight redness there, a "trace" left from yesterday.

"I thought you had quite a temper; in the end, you're just a soft persimmon. Where did all the strength you used to hit me yesterday go? If I were you, I would have made her fall even harder..."

Qin Yiyan's tone was serious, not at all like he was joking.

Liu Xin'ai, however, didn't have much of a reaction, only replying faintly: "I don't really care about insignificant people; ignoring them is fine. It's not about swallowing my pride; it's just that since you already warned her, there's no need for me to do anything else."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, suddenly thinking of how the two of them had been getting along lately.

During their honeymoon, except for the argument they had on the first day, Liu Xin'ai had hardly left her room.

Even if they bumped into each other by accident, she would immediately turn around and pretend not to see him, or go straight back to her room.

Only now did Qin Yiyan suddenly realize the implication, and his heart was instantly filled with displeasure.

So, to her, he was also an insignificant person.

That was why she had previously...

Qin Yiyan suddenly stood up abruptly, staring at Liu Xin'ai with an unfriendly expression.

"Are you going back or not?"

Liu Xin'ai turned to look at him, her eyes devoid of any ripples.

Qin Yiyan felt another breath get stuck in his chest instantly.

He didn't speak, simply turning around and sitting in the passenger seat.

Only then did he speak in a low voice to the driver beside him: "Drive."

The car slowly started moving.

Qin Yiyan sat in the front, but couldn't help but glance through the rearview mirror at Liu Xin'ai, who was sitting alone in the back seat.

He discovered that she wasn't paying any attention to him at all, just staring out the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan inexplicably felt a sense of stifling in his chest again.

He, the Young Master of the Qin family, didn't know how many women outside wanted to curry favor with him.

Why was it that when it came to her, Liu Xin'ai, she was always cold and hostile?

Qin Yiyan didn't realize at all that he had long since, without knowing it, invested too much attention in Liu Xin'ai; he only felt inexplicably irritable.

One hour later—

The car stopped at the entrance of the villa.

This time, Liu Xin'ai didn't use Qin Yiyan's help; she opened the car door herself and walked toward the entrance, one step at a time.

Qin Yiyan stood behind her, his hand reaching out to help her several times, only to pull it back, his eyes growing increasingly irritable.

How could this woman be so ungrateful!

Had he treated her poorly?

Who was she putting on this cold face for!

Qin Yiyan held his breath, watching Liu Xin'ai enter the room, before turning directly to return to his own room; the thought he originally had of applying medicine for her vanished without a trace.

Let that woman fend for herself!

He couldn't be bothered to wait on her!

Inside the room, Liu Xin'ai casually found the medical kit she carried with her.

She briefly checked her injuries, sprayed some medicine, and then thought of the events of the evening, her mood becoming somewhat complicated for a moment.

Such a woman...

There were definitely more than just this one around Qin Yiyan.

A while ago, when the two of them were on vacation together... he had been drinking with several foreign women...

As Liu Xin'ai thought about this, she suddenly realized something, and her eyes lit up instantly.

If she caught him out with other women, and not just one...

Or even engaged in more intimate behavior...

Then her father would certainly no longer insist on her marrying him, and the engagement could be conveniently annulled!

Now she still had enough time to learn how to manage a business; when the time came, she could take the initiative to ask to take over the company, and perhaps she wouldn't have to get married?

Cheng Hao also showed signs of improvement; if he could truly recover...

The more Liu Xin'ai thought about it, the more excited she felt, a glimmer of hope gradually igniting in her heart, before she then helplessly looked at her foot.

Why did she have to sprain her ankle just tonight?

Otherwise, she could have gone to the Laboratory tomorrow and started preparing to develop the antidote...

Liu Xin'ai thought to herself, then hurriedly picked up her phone and sent a message to Jiang Baobao.

【Baobao, I sprained my ankle and it's not very convenient for me to move around lately. Once I start developing the medicine and have some progress, I will notify you immediately.】

Jiang Baobao was resting, and upon seeing the message, she immediately replied quickly.

【Alright, Xinaijie, is the sprain serious? This matter can't be rushed anyway; we'll take it slow, let's talk after you've recovered.】

The two of them chatted for a few more sentences, and after confirming that Liu Xin'ai's foot injury was nothing serious, Jiang Baobao finally set her mind at ease.

A few days later.

The third match of the professional tournament ended.

As expected, the Star Team won a great victory again.

Jiang Baobao was incredibly happy; after finishing the interview, she took her Team members directly to the restaurant she had booked in advance to celebrate.

As soon as they sat down, Xiao Ding asked with a gossipy look: "Boss, why didn't our big benefactor come today? Didn't he come to every match before?"

As soon as his voice fell, Yanbao took the initiative to explain: "Daddy has important work today, so he couldn't come!"

Everyone then suddenly realized.

Seeing that the little guy had already explained, Jiang Baobao took the opportunity to change the subject.

But before she could speak, she heard Ano teasing her fearlessly: "Boss, how is your progress with our big benefactor lately? Didn't he declare that he was going to pursue you? How is he pursuing you? Tell us about it?"

Hearing this, the others immediately joined in the clamor: "Yes, yes, yes! Boss! We've been holding it in for a long time! You must share it with us today!"
