"Sister, what's wrong?"
Liu Qingze took a step forward and asked in confusion.
Liu Xinai came back to her senses instantly and hurriedly shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go."
She quickly adjusted her mood, forced a smile at Liu Qingze, and walked downstairs with him, but her heart was already high.
Qin Yiyan had been away for so long and came here as soon as he came back... to find him?
Liu Xinai was thinking as she walked downstairs, and sure enough she saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa.
Hearing the sound, Qin Yiyan took the initiative to turn his head.
His eyes quickly glanced at Liu Qingze, and then he broke out into a perfect smile.
"My dear, why have you lost weight?"
As Qin Yiyan spoke, he stepped forward, hugged Liu Xinai into his arms very naturally, and kissed her forehead.
Liu Xinai stiffened slightly and subconsciously frowned.
Thinking that Liu Qingze was still there, he had no choice but to say nothing more.
Qin Yiyan had already greeted Liu Qingze.
"Hello Qingze."
"Hello, brother-in-law."
Liu Qingze responded lightly and glanced at Liu Xinai with a somewhat uneasy expression.
Judging from Qin Yiyan's reaction, it didn't look like the two of them were quarreling.
Why did that sister just...
"Okay, let's eat first."
Liu Xinai didn't want to continue being held by Qin Yiyan like this, so she forced herself out of his arms and walked towards the dining table.
Qin Yiyan still looked as cheerful as before, and made an invitation gesture towards Liu Qingze.
The three of them sat down at the dining table.
Qin Yiyan took the lead in finding a topic: "Qingze graduated?"
"Well, that's right."
Liu Qingze answered casually. For some reason, he intuitively couldn't get close to Qin Yiyan.
Liu Xinai suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "Qingze's graduation certificate hasn't come out yet, but nothing will happen. Recently, I plan to arrange for him to understand the company's situation first. You can first..."
"sister……"
Liu Qingze had a headache when he heard that he was going to join the company.
Qin Yiyan was keenly aware of something, and suddenly asked: "Qingze hasn't visited dad yet?"
He looked at Liu Qingze's reluctant expression and already had the answer in his heart.
If Liu Qingze had known about Liu Tengnian's condition, he would never have refused so ignorantly.
Sure enough, Liu Xinai replied: "He just came back yesterday, and I plan to take him there tomorrow."
"Well, I'll accompany you tomorrow."
Qin Yiyan smiled and agreed, not forgetting to help Liu Xinai pick up the vegetables, looking like a "gentle and considerate" good husband.
Liu Xinai's eyes flickered for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She hadn't seen someone acting for a long time, and he suddenly came back, pretending to be nonchalant, as if the unhappy breakup on the wedding day didn't exist at all, which made her feel inexplicably unsure.
Liu Qingze also observed the two people getting along calmly, and his doubts became more and more serious.
This brother-in-law... seems okay?
but……
Liu Qingze glanced at Liu Xin'ai again out of the corner of his eye, feeling that something was strange.
Then he heard Qin Yiyan ask again: "By the way, my love, do you want to go home with me tonight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xinai's expression immediately flashed with visible nervousness.
Then he refused without hesitation: "No, Qingze has just come back and there is no one at home. I want to stay with him for a few more days."
Liu Xinai's hand holding the chopsticks became a little tight, fearing that Qin Yiyan would suddenly change his face.
Sure enough, Qin Yiyan paused slightly and looked in Liu Xinai's direction.
Although there was no emotion on his face, Liu Xinai's nerves suddenly became tense.
The next second——
"I really rarely come back. I want my sister to stay with me for a few days. Brother-in-law, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Liu Qingze asked very naturally and smiled at Qin Yiyan.
Qin Yiyan also laughed instantly: "Of course, you should let your sister stay with you. I still have work, so I will go back to live with us temporarily."
Liu Qingze raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and casually changed the subject and asked, "What is brother-in-law usually busy with?"
What happened just now was overturned.
The three of them had lunch peacefully, and Qin Yiyan planned to leave.
Seeing that he was leaving, Liu Xinai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I heard: "My dear, don't you want to see me off? We haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me at all?"
Qin Yiyan's voice was low, with these small complaints, as if he was really "acting coquettishly" with the woman he loved.
Liu Xinai was stunned when she heard this, and forced a perfunctory smile on her lips.
"Let's go."
She took the initiative to walk towards the door.
Qin Yiyan followed her side calmly.
The two people went out one after another and came to the car.
Qin Yiyan stopped but didn't get in the car immediately.
"Using Liu Qingze as a shield?"
He suddenly spoke, his tone changed from the gentle tone just now, and instead became slightly gloomy.
"What did you say?"
Liu Xinai's face changed instantly when she heard this.
Qin Yiyan snorted coldly: "I said, you want to use Liu Qingze as a shield."
Liu Xinai pursed her lips into a straight line and said nothing.
Qin Yiyan suddenly turned around and unexpectedly bent down to her ear.
"Liu Xinai, it's useless. You won't be able to hide for long."
He dropped a word in Liu Xinai's ear, a malicious reminder, like a devil's whisper.
Then he got up without any hesitation, got in the car and left.
Liu Xinai froze in place, watching his car drive away, her palms already covered with cold sweat.
After a while, he sneered.
Yes...she is hiding.
But if this continues...how long can we hide?
Liu Xinai stood blankly for a long time, then turned around and returned to the villa.
Then as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Liu Qingze who was still in the living room.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so white? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Qingze saw her expression was different and asked with concern.
Liu Xinai shook her head hurriedly: "No, I'm probably too busy recently and haven't had a good rest. I just wish I could get some more sleep. You probably haven't recovered from jet lag yet, so go back and get some sleep."
Liu Xinai said and was about to go upstairs.
He had just taken two steps when Liu Qingze caught up with him.
"Sister, I have something to ask you."
He stared at Liu Xinai closely and said straight to the point: "How have you been during your marriage? How is your brother-in-law treating you?"
Liu Qingze frowned.
He knew about the engagement between Liu Xinai and Qin Yiyan, and also knew that it was a business marriage. He even attended the engagement banquet at that time.
But he didn't expect to get married so quickly.
Liu Xinai was startled when she heard this, and suddenly felt sour in her heart.
In fact, on the eve of the wedding, Liu Qingze called her specifically to ask for her opinion.
At that time, he said that as long as Liu Xin'ai didn't want to, she could refuse, and he would always stand by her side and support her ideas.
But Liu Xinai said nothing.
She had no choice and no right to be willful.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Liu Xinai suddenly laughed.
Her thoughts seemed to wander far away for a moment.
Then I heard my own voice ringing out.
"Very good, didn't you see it just now?"
