Chapter 1159

So the two of them stared at each other across the several men between them for a minute or two.

Lin Yi didn't know what was happening and could only stand there blankly.

He didn't know what was going on in their minds; he could only feel that the gazes they fixed on each other were intensely hot.

Could it be that these two loathe each other and want to start fighting?

Lin Yi was scared by his own thoughts; he secretly glanced at the two of them and increasingly felt his idea might actually be possible.

Lin Yi was at a loss for words; if they were men, they could still reason with them, talk it out, or, if that failed, just have a fight.

But with women, Lin Yi really dared not say anything; if a single word was spoken poorly, the blame would be diverted eastward and land directly on him.

When men fight, it's fist to flesh, but when women fight, they must tear something from each other's bodies.

Like pulling hair, tearing clothes, and so on; it was simply terrifying.

Lin Yi had once been fortunate enough to witness two women fighting; it was truly eye-opening, with low attack power but a look that made people afraid.

Lin Yi silently shuffled toward Ning Chen; after what he considered a long but actually very conspicuous process, he successfully reached Ning Chen's side seeking comfort.

"Ning, Ning-ge, won't you try to dissuade them? Don't let the two of them really start fighting."

Lin Yi looked at the two with inner turmoil; to be honest, he still hoped this group could coexist peacefully.

Ning Chen looked at Lin Yi suspiciously, not understanding what he meant by those words; why did he understand every single character, yet when put together they were so chaotic?

Lin Yi's voice was not small; at least the several men behind him heard it.

Huo Jinglin twitched the corner of his mouth; this fellow Lin Yi was sometimes truly thick-skinned.

Why would they be about to fight? Didn't he see the two of them gazing at each other with affection, as if they had met too late?

Of course, since the protagonists were all present, Huo Jinglin naturally would not try to advise Lin Yi; forget it, if the child likes to court death, let him, otherwise he truly won't learn his lesson.

As a guardian of sorts for Lin Yi, Huo Jinglin truly felt like he had one head and two big problems.

Where exactly did this child's emotional intelligence go? Isn't it said that low emotional intelligence means high intelligence? How could he have neither emotional intelligence nor intelligence?

Which door did heaven open for him, and which one did it close?

Lin Yi, single-handedly, left everyone speechless.

"Ning-ge? You won't just ignore this, right? Although Sister Yanqi certainly looks like she won't lose, there's no need for a fight."

Seeing Ning Chen neither reply nor act, Lin Yi thought Ning Chen was tacitly approving the current situation and became so anxious his voice nearly broke into a cry.

Now Ning Chen truly understood what Lin Yi's brain had imagined.

What on earth is all this?

Ning Chen lightly covered his head; to be honest, he felt quite helpless.

"Stop messing around, go play over there." Ning Chen waved his hand at Lin Yi, then turned to Huo Jinglin, signaling with his eyes.

Huo Jinglin immediately understood Ning Chen's meaning, hurriedly pulled Lin Yi backward, and even covered his mouth to stifle his words; otherwise, Huo Jinglin truly didn't know what earth-shattering, heaven-piercing words Lin Yi might say next.

"Yanqi, this is Xu Ri, and this is Xu Yue; they are twins."

Since his own wife was interested, Ning Chen naturally had to indulge his wife.

He acted contrary to his usual self, leading Gu Yanqi to the two of them first, completely unlike his earlier indifference toward them inside the room.

Gu Yanqi merely nodded at Xu Ri, then immediately looked at Xu Yue: "You are called Xu Yue, right? That's a very nice name; how old are you this year?"

"I am nineteen years old this year."

"I see; I am older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me older sister from now on."

"How could I mind! And, and since older sister is so beautiful, I always feel I'm not quite worthy."

The friendship between girls sometimes builds very quickly; the two of them exchanged words back and forth, and before long they were already calling each other older sister and younger sister.

Xu Yue even hooked her arm through Gu Yanqi's, and Gu Yanqi led Xu Yue to sit on the sofa.

The two began chatting obliviously, as if the big men around them did not exist.

Seeing his own younger sister so happy, Xu Ri's guard toward these several people lowered considerably.

He nodded at Ning Chen, then sat down on Xu Yue's other side, doing nothing but sitting there with his eyes closed, quietly listening to the various gossip of the two girls.

Lin Yi, whom Huo Jinglin had just released from his grip, stared wide-eyed at the current situation; so... it wasn't as he had thought.

"Of course it isn't as you thought; those two simply took a fancy to each other; why would they have to fight?" Now, with just one look at Lin Yi's expression, Huo Jinglin could roughly guess what he was thinking.

"Sister Yanqi, you and that Brother Ning, are the two of you..." Xu Yue extended her hand, made a fist, then raised both thumbs facing each other and hooked them together.

Gu Yanqi's face instantly turned red; she understood Xu Yue's meaning and nodded shyly.

Seeing Gu Yanqi nod, Xu Yue's eyes immediately lit up.

"Wow, I knew it; just now I felt the atmosphere between the two of you was especially harmonious, and it was even radiating pink bubbles."

The more Xu Yue spoke, the shyer Gu Yanqi became: "L-little Yue, don't say any more."

At this moment, the male protagonist was in the kitchen, finishing the meal Gu Yanqi had not completed; naturally, he could not let his wife get tired.

Although two more people had been added, since Gu Yanqi had cooked a particularly large amount this time, it was actually enough.

A long table was now completely filled with people.

Diplomat Lin Yi, at such a dining table, once again played his role.

"Ahem, um, well, previously we barged into your place without permission; we'd like to say sorry. We several all welcome the two of you; please feel at ease following us; we will certainly guarantee to bring you to F City!"

Saying this, Lin Yi picked up his cup and, using tea in place of wine, toasted Xu Yue and Xu Ri.

Xu Yue picked up her cup, raised it toward Lin Yi, then drank the water in the cup.

After drinking the water, Xu Ri picked up the nearby teapot, poured tea, stood up, turned in a circle facing everyone, then tilted his head back and drank it all.

He performed this action very freely, possessing quite the unrestrained spirit of an ancient hero, making onlookers feel refreshed and delighted.
