Chapter 447: We Are a Perfect Match

Late at night—

The butler of the Liu Family suddenly pushed open the door to Liu Tengnian's study.

"Sir, the eldest young lady has suddenly returned, and she looks... as if she is a bit angry..."

No sooner had the butler finished speaking than Liu Xin'ai appeared at the doorway of Liu Tengnian's study.

"Dad, why are you still working?"

Liu Xin'ai had not expected that Liu Tengnian would actually not be resting, and her expression immediately turned one of surprise and heartache.

Liu Tengnian was also somewhat taken aback; he waved his hand at the butler, signaling for him to leave.

The study door closed, and the room was suddenly left with only the father and daughter.

"Xin'ai, why did you run back so late? Didn't you just come back to see me two days ago?"

Liu Tengnian asked with some confusion.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for a moment; she did not speak, but instead sat down on the sofa and helplessly urged: "Dad, with your current condition, you should be resting early every day; you cannot go on like this..."

"I know. My condition—how could I not be clear about it myself?"

Liu Tengnian waved his hand: "Your teacher came to see me yesterday, and we discussed it and felt that... this surgery still needs to be done. But because the risk is too great and no one can guarantee what the outcome will be, I thought that when the time comes that I have no choice but to have the surgery, I will entrust my life to the Doctor. For now... being able to seize a little more time to help you all handle everything is naturally for the best..."

"Dad..." Whenever Liu Xin'ai brought up this matter, she felt sad. She didn't know how many times she had opened her mouth to urge him: "I can learn to manage the company. Do you really... have to marry me into the Qin Family?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tengnian instantly furrowed his brows: "Why bring this up again? You two have even set the wedding date; what is the use of saying these things now? Besides, even if I were not ill, Yiyan is someone I have long considered a good marriage prospect. You two will be together sooner or later..."

"But what if he cheats?" Liu Xin'ai suddenly countered.

"What?" Liu Tengnian was stunned by her words.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly took out her phone and placed the photo she had just taken in front of Liu Tengnian.

"Tonight, I happened to pass by the bar street area and saw Yiyan's car parked there. I went in to find him and saw another woman feeding him drinks. This kind of thing, I cannot tolerate."

Liu Xin'ai spoke with righteous indignation, leaving no room for negotiation.

Liu Tengnian had not expected that there would actually be such a photo. He was stunned at first, and then his face immediately showed some anger.

"Yiyan, that child, how could he do such a thing!"

"Dad." Seeing that Liu Tengnian was on her side, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly pressed her advantage: "You wouldn't want my future husband to be a man who indulges in debauchery, would you? Even if he didn't do anything today, what about in the future? Who can guarantee that he won't be with other women later? If I am driven out of the Qin Family then, the Liu Family will also..."

"Impossible! Even for the sake of my face, he wouldn't dare do such a thing! The people of the Qin Family would not allow him to do such a thing!"

Liu Tengnian slammed the table with a "bang."

Liu Xin'ai was startled and hurriedly comforted him: "Dad, please don't be angry..."

Her expression showed some regret, feeling that perhaps she had spoken too severely just now.

Liu Tengnian, however, waved his hand: "I'm fine. Xin'ai, don't worry about the company matters. When you two get married, I will have him sign an agreement to have him return the company to your younger brother at the stipulated time. As for this photo..."

Liu Tengnian sighed, then continued: "Don't think too much for now. Regarding this matter, Dad will get an explanation for you."

"Dad..."

Liu Xin'ai had not expected that after all that talk, it would still lead to the marriage, and her mood suddenly became anxious.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. You stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I will call Yiyan to the house and have a talk with him."

Liu Tengnian's tone allowed for no rebuttal, signaling that this matter had been decided.

Liu Xin'ai felt somewhat helpless, but fearing that she might agitate Liu Tengnian, she dared not say anything more.

She sent Liu Tengnian back to his room to rest, then returned to her own bedroom, washed up, and intended to go to bed.

The familiar environment made her feel much more relaxed.

But before she could even crawl under the covers, she heard her bedroom door being knocked on.

"What is it?"

Liu Xin'ai asked in confusion.

Immediately after, she heard the servant outside the room answer in a low voice: "Eldest young lady, the young master of the Qin Family has arrived, saying he is here to take you home."

"What?"

Liu Xin'ai's heart gave a violent jolt, and she instantly took two steps forward to open the door.

"Where is he?"

She asked with a surprised expression.

The servant replied in a low voice: "In the living room."

Without another word, Liu Xin'ai immediately walked downstairs.

Just as she descended the stairs, she indeed saw Qin Yiyan sitting on the sofa.

"What are you here for?"

Liu Xin'ai could not help but feel a flare of anger; she lowered her voice and stepped forward to question him.

Seeing her wearing pajamas, Qin Yiyan could not help but raise an eyebrow: "My fiancée has returned to her maiden home for no reason, so of course I have to come over and ask about the situation. I wonder if there is something that has made you unhappy, or if you have been wronged?"

As Qin Yiyan spoke, his face still wore that gentle, spring-breeze smile.

As soon as he returned home that night, he heard that Liu Xin'ai had not come back.

He had someone check her whereabouts for the day and only then learned that besides going to a friend's house, she had also gone to—a bar.

Qin Yiyan understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it, which was why he had hurried over.

Liu Xin'ai looked at the smile on his face, and a breath instantly became stuck in her chest.

Thinking of the servant nearby, she replied: "It's nothing, I just feel that we two are not very compatible, so I don't really want to go back to live there anymore. I'll trouble you to please head back..."

"Not very compatible?"

Hearing her excuse, Qin Yiyan could not help but laugh out loud.

I really couldn't tell...

Someone who can act, it turns out, is not bad at all when it comes to putting on a performance...

If she hadn't guessed wrong, she must have seen something at the bar, then made a special trip back to complain, thinking of using the opportunity to break off the engagement?

Qin Yiyan curled his lips and answered her previous words unhurriedly: "Not suitable? Why do I feel that the two of us are very suitable, simply a match made in heaven."

"You!" Liu Xin'ai hadn't expected that he could actually say such things, and she looked at the person before her, speechless for a moment.

She tried hard to maintain her composure, and with patience, she issued an order to leave: "Qin Yiyan, I don't want to talk to you right now, whatever it is, let's talk tomorrow..."

Just as Liu Xin'ai finished speaking—

"Xin'ai, is that Yiyan here?"

Liu Tengnian hadn't gone to sleep yet, and hearing a faint movement downstairs, he simply came down directly to check.

Liu Xin'ai was startled in her heart for a moment.

Before she could speak, she heard Qin Yiyan take a step forward and say: "Uncle, I am here to take Xin'ai home."
