Chapter 572: Unable to Understand This Man

Liu Xin'ai tidied up in a hurry and then rushed downstairs.

Upon reaching the living room, she saw that Qin Fu, Qin Mu, and Qin Yiyan were already sitting at the dining table.

She offered a greeting and hurriedly sat down beside Qin Yiyan.

No sooner had she sat down than she heard Qin Mu ask with a smile: "Xin'ai, did you rest well last night? Are you getting used to living here?"

"It's fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie." Liu Xin'ai nodded with a smile.

The words had barely left her lips when she heard Qin Fu, who was not usually one to talk much, say: "But why did I see Yiyan sleeping in the guest room alone last night? You two..."

"

Liu Xin'ai was stunned upon hearing this, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Qin Yiyan's expression had also suddenly become somewhat subtle.

Qin Fu and Qin Mu exchanged a silent glance.

Then, Qin Mu continued with a smile: "Is that so? You two youngsters haven't had some sort of falling out, have you? If there's a misunderstanding, you must clear it up in time... Xin'ai, did this brat bully you? Tell Auntie, and Auntie will stand up for you!"

"No..."

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly denied it, her brain spinning rapidly to find an excuse, while at the same time feeling somewhat surprised.

Did Qin Yiyan really go to the guest room last night?

He...

Just as Liu Xin'ai was thinking this, she heard Qin Yiyan explain with a smile: "I had some work to handle temporarily last night. It was too late when I finished, and I didn't want to disturb Xin'ai's rest. She hasn't been feeling well lately and is a very light sleeper; once she's woken up, it's hard for her to fall back asleep, so that's why I went to the guest room."

"So that's how it is..."

Qin Fu and Qin Mu were instantly enlightened, and they both looked at Qin Yiyan with very approving eyes.

"Seeing that you two have such a good relationship, I'm relieved. I didn't expect Yiyan to be so considerate..."

Qin Yiyan smiled without speaking and casually changed the subject, ending the previous matter.

After breakfast, the two were seen off from the villa by Qin Fu and Qin Mu.

Liu Xin'ai got into the car with a heavy heart. As the car door closed, she couldn't help but ask: "Yesterday, you..."

She had originally wanted to ask why Qin Yiyan had carried her to bed yesterday.

But the words reached her lips, and she found she couldn't quite ask them.

Qin Yiyan paused at the question and swept a faint glance at her, seemingly seeing through what she was thinking, and replied casually: "It's nothing. You fell on the floor yesterday and woke me up, so I just put you on the bed while I was at it and went to handle my work."

Liu Xin'ai's eyes flickered for a moment; she gave a faint "mm" and turned her head to look out the window.

He was lying.

Yesterday, it was clearly him who took the initiative...

Liu Xin'ai frowned slightly, feeling that something was strange.

Why wouldn't he just say it directly?

Or did he have some other motive?

She felt as if... she was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this man, Qin Yiyan...

A few days later—the day of the two people's wedding arrived as scheduled.

Liu Xin'ai got up early and was taken to the venue to prepare.

Upon arriving at the place, she realized that the location for their wedding was the largest church in the city.

Looking at the building before her, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

This was the wedding location she had fantasized about countless times.

Under the witness of a priest, to make a vow to spend a lifetime together with the person she loved most in the most sacred place.

But right now...

Liu Xin'ai felt a sourness in her heart; she lowered her head silently and walked toward the back of the church, accompanied by the makeup artist.

There was a small auditorium there that had already been decorated.

One of the rooms was the dressing room prepared for her.

Liu Xin'ai quickly changed into her wedding dress and then sat in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist begin applying her makeup.

Her mood was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

It had finally come to this day.

She had originally thought she would be filled with resentment.

But now that the moment had truly arrived, it seemed as if nothing mattered anymore.

It was just a ceremony, after all...

Outside the church—Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao arrived with the three little ones, and they also successfully met up with Cai Xiaotang, who had rushed over.

"I didn't expect the wedding to be held here..."

Cai Xiaotang said with emotion as she looked at the church before her.

Jiang Baobao also looked around and then said: "Xinaijie sent me a message yesterday saying that if I arrived early, I could go find her. Xiao Tang, are you going?"

"Of course!"

Cai Xiaotang agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao then handed the three little ones over to Li Beijue, saying she would be right back, and pulled Cai Xiaotang away.

The two asked around and learned that Liu Xin'ai was currently in the back getting her makeup done.

Hearing that they were the bride's friends, the person took the initiative to lead them there.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Liu Xin'ai sitting in front of the mirror with her eyes closed.

"Xinaijie!"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes lit up as soon as she saw her, and she exclaimed loudly: "You are just too beautiful today! You're practically blinding me!"

Hearing her voice, Liu Xin'ai immediately opened her eyes, then couldn't help but be amused: "Xiao Tang, how could it be as exaggerated as you say?"

"Xiao Tang is not exaggerating at all; it really is very beautiful."

Jiang Baobao stepped forward, looked at the person before her, and also offered a compliment.

Liu Xin'ai's wedding dress had been custom-made by a renowned designer they had sought out together previously; worn on her, it was naturally an impeccable fit, and even the patterns were unique.

It's just that the groom today... if only it were Uncle.

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself in her heart; although she felt regret, she quickly put the thought aside and hurriedly changed the subject, asking: "Xinaijie, was it your decision to hold the wedding at the church? I had previously thought it would be a place like a lawn or a beach..."

Liu Xin'ai paused upon hearing this, hesitating over how she should answer.

She had no knowledge of the wedding venue.

No, it should be said that she hadn't asked about anything related to the wedding at all.

Because she hadn't cared to begin with.

Just as Liu Xin'ai was planning to find some random excuse to reply, she heard the makeup artist beside her speak up with a smile: "Miss Liu only found out today as well. Mr. Qin spent a long time picking out the venue, thinking Miss Liu would surely like it here, before settling on it. Our studio originally didn't have time today, but Mr. Qin paid a high price to hire us to do Miss Liu's bridal makeup; he probably wanted to give Miss Liu a surprise."

Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao were both stunned upon hearing this.

Liu Xin'ai also widened her eyes slightly, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Qin Yiyan wanted to give her a surprise?

How could that be possible...

If he didn't sincerely try to cause her trouble, she would already be thanking the heavens.

Liu Xin'ai didn't respond, and the room suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Sensing the awkward silence, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly spoke up: "So that's how it is; Mr. Qin is really good to Xinaijie. Then Xinaijie, go ahead and finish your makeup; we won't disturb you!"

As Cai Xiaotang said this, she hurriedly pulled Jiang Baobao away.

The two of them walked out, and only then did they let out a sigh of relief in unison.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly leaned into Jiang Baobao's ear and asked: "Baobao, do you get the feeling that Xinaijie doesn't seem very happy?"
