Chapter 518: Jiang Chenghao Discovered Her Secret

Jiang Chenghao was standing sideways to the entrance, holding a wine glass and talking to someone, not noticing Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan at the door.

Qin Yiyan noticed Liu Xin'ai's expression and subconsciously followed her gaze, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

Jiang Chenghao had actually come too?

Qin Yiyan pondered for two seconds, and he instantly had the answer in his heart.

Given the current relationship between Jiang Baobao and the Li Family, it was normal for him to appear here...

Since his condition had recovered, he must surely be planning to redevelop the Jiang Family's former businesses.

It was just that...

Qin Yiyan's gaze flickered for a moment, and he swept his eyes over Liu Xin'ai with a hint of displeasure.

In this way... it would actually create quite a few opportunities for the two of them to meet...

"Why are you standing there without moving? Did you see an acquaintance?"

Qin Yiyan pretended not to have noticed Jiang Chenghao and asked deliberately.

Liu Xin'ai instantly came back to her senses, hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and replied indifferently: "No."

Qin Yiyan gave a cold snort in his heart, but he didn't expose her or say anything more, leading Liu Xin'ai as they walked into the venue.

Liu Xin'ai followed by his side, but she felt a bit hesitant.

She hadn't expected Cheng Hao to be here too...

As Liu Xin'ai was thinking this, her peripheral vision suddenly caught Jiang Chenghao looking over in this direction!

She didn't have time to look away and subconsciously looked back.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Chenghao's expression was also instantly filled with surprise.

Yet, upon seeing Qin Yiyan beside her, he restrained it all, smiled toward the direction of the two, and turned to continue talking to others.

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes, unable to describe what she was feeling at this moment.

Qin Yiyan, however, suddenly gave a soft snort.

"Heh, you really did run into an acquaintance, but... he doesn't seem to have any intention of coming over to greet you."

His tone was full of sarcasm.

Liu Xin'ai, however, couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind and acted as if she hadn't heard him.

Qin Yiyan felt he had made a fool of himself and was just about to say something else when someone walked over with a wine glass to greet him.

He instantly put on a gentle and refined appearance and began to converse with the other person.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze, however, couldn't help but drift back to Jiang Chenghao.

He was building connections for the current Jiang Family, right?

Cheng Hao was so capable; it surely wouldn't take long for him to get the Jiang Family's businesses back on track.

In a while... should she go and greet him?

Liu Xin'ai looked at Jiang Chenghao's back, feeling somewhat hesitant.

He hadn't come over on his own just now; he must have seen Qin Yiyan here and wanted to avoid suspicion...

Then should she... also stop bothering him?

Being able to see him looking so high-spirited in the business world like this was already enough for her...

Liu Xin'ai suppressed all her thoughts deep in her heart, just standing quietly by Qin Yiyan's side without saying a word.

If someone spoke to her, only then would she say a few words.

But there were simply too many people coming to find Qin Yiyan; one wave left, and another arrived, almost all of them wanting to curry favor.

Qin Yiyan held his wine glass, and seeing Liu Xin'ai's gaze drifting toward Jiang Chenghao again, he instantly gripped the glass in his hand tightly in displeasure.

Did this woman, Liu Xin'ai, think he was blind?

In such a short time, her eyes were almost glued to that man!

"President Qin, regarding the cooperation mentioned earlier..."

The man in front of Qin Yiyan was still talking eloquently.

Qin Yiyan suddenly spoke up to interrupt him: "Sorry, I just remembered something and would like to have a private chat with my fiancée..."

The other person immediately understood: "Fine, then I won't disturb the two of you here!"

The man turned and left, leaving the space to Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai, however, was completely unaware and was still paying attention to every move Jiang Chenghao made.

Until a gloomy voice rang in her ear.

"Are, you, done, looking?"

Qin Yiyan spat out these words through gritted teeth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he forcefully grabbed Liu Xin'ai's wrist and led her toward an empty corner.

"Qin Yiyan! What are you going crazy about again?"

Liu Xin'ai was startled by his sudden anger and asked in a low voice.

But his strength was simply too great, and fearing that struggling too much would attract the attention of others, she had no choice but to follow closely behind him, being dragged away just like that.

Not far away, Jiang Chenghao noticed the two walking away in a hurry, with Qin Yiyan seemingly dragging Liu Xin'ai, and his heart tightened instantly.

What were they doing going over there?

Qin Yiyan looked... as if he was in a bad mood?

Behind the corridor—

Confirming there was no one around, Qin Yiyan then abruptly let go of Liu Xin'ai's hand.

"What are you doing!"

Liu Xin'ai's wrist was gripped by him until a red circle formed, and she immediately glared at the person before her in annoyance.

Qin Yiyan laughed in extreme anger: "What am I doing? Naturally, I've come to ask you, seeing an ex-boyfriend in a place like this, do you feel especially happy? If there weren't so many people around, you would have practically wanted to throw yourself into his arms, wouldn't you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai's eyes widened instantly as she looked at him.

Qin Yiyan chuckled disdainfully: "Am I spouting nonsense? Your eyes were practically glued to him; I even thought you would go over to greet him the moment you saw him. It turns out, after all that, you were actually exchanging amorous glances, but..."

Qin Yiyan suddenly changed his tone, lowering his head to lean close to Liu Xin'ai: "This is only just the beginning. His purpose for coming here should be for the Jiang Family, so... I'm afraid you will see him in these kinds of settings often from now on. How about it? After hearing that, what are your thoughts? Hmm? Are you so happy you're about to fly away?"

He said this whole string of words with a sarcastic tone, but Liu Xin'ai was suddenly stunned.

She didn't speak for a long while, only looking at Qin Yiyan with icy eyes, then suddenly let out a scoff.

"Did you know he would come today?"

Liu Xin'ai asked suddenly.

Qin Yiyan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

Naturally, he did not know.

It was just that... since Liu Xin'ai had already misunderstood, he presumed that even if he denied it, she would not believe him.

Thinking this, he suddenly smiled and asked in return: "What do you think?"

Liu Xin'ai did not speak, her gaze instantly becoming even more frigid.

"Qin Yiyan! Is this fun for you?"

She finally couldn't help but shout at him, so angry that her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What exactly do you want? I have already agreed to marry you, and in front of outsiders, I have given you plenty of face! What more do you want from me? The marriage between the two of us has absolutely nothing to do with feelings, so whether you have someone you like, I am not interested, nor do I care! Who I hold in my heart also has nothing to do with you! Do you think that by making me angry every day, seeing me unable to be with the person I like, you feel especially happy? How can there be someone as perverse and annoying as you in this world!"

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, her chest heaved incessantly from anger.

Qin Yiyan's expression also sank completely.

"Are you finished?"

He suddenly took a step closer toward the person before him.
