Chapter 768: I am very worried about her

Liu Xin'ai was standing by the window; hearing the door sound, she did not react at all.

Immediately after, Qin Yiyan's voice rang out.

"Xin'ai, your younger brother is here."

Liu Xin'ai's figure paused; hearing that it was Liu Qingze who had come, she finally turned her head to look over.

Yet Qin Yiyan did not know when he had already walked behind her.

"I shouldn't need to remind you what should be said and what shouldn't, right?"

He spoke indifferently, a hint of a threat in his eyes.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze flickered for a moment; she did not speak, only subconsciously biting her lower lip tightly.

She had not been to the Hospital to visit Liu Tengnian for nearly a week.

The condition Qin Yiyan had given was that as long as her "performance" was good, he could naturally let her out.

At first, she had resisted.

But it had not had any effect.

Even her mobile phone had been handed over to the servants by Qin Yiyan to look after, and it was only returned to her hands at fixed times to reply to some necessary messages and calls.

Liu Xin'ai's hands hanging at her sides could not help but clench, suppressing her emotions.

Immediately after, however, her chin was suddenly gripped by someone, forcing her to lift her head!

"Don't look at me with that kind of expression."

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow: "I've been in a pretty good mood lately, and I've been considering whether to let you go out, so you absolutely must not..."

He paused for a moment, then said word by word: "Throw, all, your, efforts, away."

Liu Xin'ai's breathing suddenly hitched, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, she swiped his hand away and turned to leave directly!

"Liu Xin'ai."

Qin Yiyan spoke again, suddenly calling out to stop her.

"Remember what I just said, don't forget, otherwise your younger brother..."

He deliberately did not finish, stopping there.

Liu Xin'ai's footsteps faltered, her heart gave a sharp tug, and she strode away without looking back.

Qing Ze has not yet grown to the point where he can take over the Liu Family...

If Qin Yiyan wanted to trip him up at a time like this, or even do something more excessive, it would be simply effortless!

No...

She must watch Qing Ze grow up as soon as possible!

Liu Xin'ai walked downstairs quickly, rapidly adjusting her emotions.

In the living room—Liu Qingze had already been sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time.

Hearing Liu Xin'ai come downstairs, he hurriedly stood up.

"Sister, how have you been lately? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Liu Qingze asked while paying attention to Liu Xin'ai's complexion.

Liu Xin'ai shook her head: "I'm fine, why did you run over so late?"

"To deliver something."

Liu Qingze said, picking up the report placed on the table: "This is Dad's examination report; he said to let you take a look at it."

Liu Xin'ai's eyes brightened, and she hurriedly took it.

Then she opened it and took a quick look, her expression suddenly dimming.

Father's condition could no longer be controlled, and even if he were to have surgery now...

He could only rely on medication, and as for how long it would last, it all depended on him...

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her expression was off, Liu Qingze hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing..."

Liu Xin'ai shook her head, afraid he would worry, and just let out a long sigh: "It's the same as before; for now... it can barely be controlled with medication for a while, and it needs continued observation."

Liu Qingze frowned sharply and did not speak.

Liu Xin'ai was also silent for a moment.

After a long while, she finally said: "For a period of time recently... I might not be able to go to the Hospital frequently. As for Dad, you should go visit more often, and also... the housekeeper is alone at the Hospital taking care of Dad, and there are always times when they can't keep up. I plan to hire two more people at the Hospital; if anything happens, it will be easier to contact me in time. You can look for suitable candidates..."

"No need."

Liu Qingze suddenly interrupted her and replied offhandedly: "Starting tomorrow, I will go to the Hospital to take care of Dad."

"You're going?"

Liu Xin'ai was stunned: "Don't you have work at the hotel that needs..."

"Work can be handled via email."

Liu Qingze interrupted her again, subconsciously glancing at his own phone, his eyes somewhat dejected.

Although he spoke nonchalantly...

But being truly rejected, it was still painful in his heart.

After all, it was the first time he had confessed to someone so seriously...

Anyway, the basic coordination had already been completed; for the subsequent hotel renovation process, handing it over to other managers and having it confirmed by him through email should be fine.

She must be troubled right now... about how to get along with him in the future, right?

Then it would be better to avoid her for a while, so as not to make her awkward...

And also let him... tidy up his own mood a little.

"Qing Ze?"

Liu Xin'ai's voice rang out by his ear, pulling back Liu Qingze's attention.

"Ah? It's nothing, Sister. Let's just settle it this way. I've basically finished coordinating the work over there; actually, I don't need to go every day."

Liu Qingze explained once more.

"Alright then..."

Liu Xin'ai did not force the issue further and agreed, then looked at Liu Qingze, appearing as if she had something to say but was holding back.

Was it an illusion?

Why did she suddenly feel... that Qing Ze seemed... a bit gloomy?

Could it be that he encountered something unhappy?

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and was just about to ask—"Qing Ze's performance during this period has indeed been very good. After all, he had never been exposed to this kind of work before, and he is already doing very well now. In a while, there will surely be some unexpected growth."

Qin Yiyan's voice suddenly came over.

Liu Xin'ai instinctively stiffened abruptly, and a look of unnaturalness quickly flashed across her face.

Immediately after, she felt someone's hand rest on her shoulder.

"Xin'ai, what do you think?"

His voice was even closer this time, falling directly by her ear.

"Yes..."

Liu Xin'ai forced a smile and could only follow his lead, saying, "Qing Ze has always been very smart..."

Perhaps because Liu Qingze was right in front of her, Liu Xin'ai suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart.

But immediately after—Liu Qingze suddenly raised his eyes to look at the clock on the wall!

"Then let's do that. It's getting late, and I..."

He intended to leave, but his words were only half finished—"Qing Ze!"

Liu Xin'ai suddenly called out to stop him loudly.

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Liu Qingze looked at Liu Xin'ai with some surprise.

Qin Yiyan was the same.

It was just that the hand resting on her shoulder tightened slightly.

Liu Xin'ai also realized that her emotions just now had been a bit agitated.

She forced a smile and then said, "It really is getting late. Since you've finally come for a visit, why not stay the night? It just so happens that I also want to chat with you..."

"This..."

Liu Qingze paused slightly and instinctively glanced at Qin Yiyan.

After all, this was his sister and brother-in-law's home; he still had that much sense of propriety.

Qin Yiyan also paused upon hearing this, but quickly nodded and agreed, "It is indeed getting late. Qing Ze, then you should stay. It's a good chance to keep your sister company and talk. Her mood hasn't been very good lately, and I've been very worried about her..."

The man's tone was gentle, sounding as considerate as could be.

Yet Liu Xin'ai felt a chill all over, and even her heart felt like a stiff block of ice.

He was worried about her mood?

What a joke...

The biggest source of her bad mood was him, Qin Yiyan!
