Chapter 1161

"What's going on?" Facing Huo Jinglin frowned slightly, expressing clear annoyance at being disturbed while reading.

Lin Yi also realized his reaction was excessive, so he cleared his throat twice: "Jinglin, I'm telling you—Yanqi sister has gained capability."

Facing Huo Jinglin fell silent, staring at Facing Huo Jinglin strangely, as if unable to understand why he'd only just found out.

Seeing Facing Huo Jinglin wasn't surprised, Lin Yi understood something—he tremulously pointed at Facing Huo Jinglin: "You—you—you knew about this too?! Wait, does Ning Ge and Xiao Han know as well?"

Facing Huo Jinglin said nothing, instead quietly shifting his gaze away from Lin Yi.

To be honest, he hadn't expected Lin Yi to be unaware of this.

After all… he'd spotted it immediately back then.

Seeing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his voice brimmed with grievance: "So I'm the last one to find out, huh? Ah, what's going on? None of you told me!"

Lin Yi shook all over with anger, then covered his face with one hand and clutched his little heart with the other, looking exactly like a abandoned, resentful woman.

Gu Yanqi also knew she was at fault for not explaining earlier: "Uh, Lin Ge, sorry—I didn't realize you didn't know. It's my fault, I didn't explain properly."

Lin Yi was heartbroken; he waved his hand and collapsed onto the sofa, perfectly embodying what's called a Ge You slump.

"It's fine, I'm fine, don't bother with me. After all, I'm just someone dispensable~"

Facing Huo Jinglin sighed, then slapped Lin Yi on the head: "Act normal. Stop being so melodramatic. Like I owe you thirty billion."

Hearing this, Lin Yi immediately bristled—he rolled over and sprang up, fully revived.

"Let me tell you, if you really owed me thirty billion, it wouldn't be just like this—I'd nag you day and night about repayment, and if that didn't work, I'd use force!!"

Facing Huo Jinglin crossed his arms and leaned against the door, dismissing him: "Mm-hmm, okay, okay, I get it."

"No, I'm serious! If you really owed me that much, I absolutely would!"

"Ah, I know, I never said you wouldn't."

"No way—your attitude clearly implies I wouldn't!"

"No, don't make up nonsense in your head. Use your brain where it's needed."

"Aaaah! Are you saying I'm stupid?!"

"I didn't say that. You said it yourself."

Xu Yue stared in stunned silence at the two grown men bickering like children; she tugged at Gu Yanqi's sleeve: "Yanqi sister, do they always act like this?"

Watching the two, Gu Yanqi had long grown accustomed to their dynamic.

"Probably. Just get used to it. Don't worry—they're all good people."

Xu Yue: "..."
