Chapter 1118: Lin Qingruo: Bad Person, These Are So Cute! Xu Chen Smiled!

"Who'd believe you? If you're so tough, call it—go on, call it."

At this moment, after Xu Chen claimed the squirrel was his, Lin Qingruo sneered and taunted.

This bad person actually says this poor little squirrel is his.

How could he possibly be someone who raises squirrels? Just look at him—he's nothing like it. Pfft, bad person.

So she spoke confidently, certain Xu Chen couldn't possibly summon it.

Xu Chen didn't waste words; he grinned and said, "Alright then, I'm calling this little guy."

Lin Qingruo huffed, "Go ahead, call it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen blew a sharp whistle.

The next instant, Lin Qingruo stared in shock.

The little squirrel, moments ago nestled in her arms, instantly leapt into Xu Chen's arms.

As for Lin Qingruo, it didn't even glance back at her.

Lin Qingruo was stunned: "This, this..."

For a moment, she couldn't think of what to say.

Xu Chen chuckled softly, "Well?"

Lin Qingruo gritted her teeth: "I still don't believe you. You say it's yours—show me its nest. You can't possibly say you don't have one."

Xu Chen hesitated: "This..."

Lin Qingruo smiled triumphantly, "Caught you out, didn't I? Told you so—knew you were lying."

For a moment, Lin Qingruo wore a faint air of triumph.

As if she'd finally won one victory after being crushed by Xu Chen these past days.

Xu Chen snorted, "Fine, let's go—who's afraid of whom? If you've got guts, follow me."

Lin Qingruo grinned mischievously, "Don't you dare trick me—if there's no nest later, you'll be humiliated."

Her tone suggested she was utterly confident.

Xu Chen snorted again, too lazy to argue, and walked off: "Who's afraid? Come on."

After speaking, he walked straight back to his quarters.

Lin Qingruo huffed twice, then quickly followed after him.

Over there, Lin Qingxian rubbed her forehead: "Little sister's intelligence is too easily fooled."

She could see at a glance this was Xu Chen's setup.

Lin Youxin sighed slightly: "I wonder what Xu Chen is trying to do."

Lin Moran snorted: "That little thief has no good intentions—we must keep a close eye."

Lin Youxin said, "Don't worry—we're here. Xu Chen won't get away with anything."

Lin Xianling chimed in curiously, "What exactly is Xu Lang planning? I'm so curious..."

The three women: "..."

This Xian Ling really is something.

How did she suddenly grow fond of Xu Chen?

There's no reason at all—it's ridiculous.

Then, they all secretly followed, soon arriving at Xu Chen's residence.

Seeing it, all four of them were stunned.

They saw a crowd of small animals leaping and darting everywhere in Xu Chen's courtyard.

It was unmistakably a miniature spirit beast yard.

They also saw that the instant Lin Qingruo laid eyes on all these small creatures.

She instantly became ecstatic, her eyes lighting up, overjoyed beyond measure.

"This one, that one, oh no, and this one too."

"I've never seen any of them—so cute, so lovely."

"Wow, bad person, you've raised so many little animals? I never would've guessed."

Lin Qingruo stroked the little creatures, praising them endlessly.

Clearly, she had fallen in love with the place—even if someone tried to kick her out, she'd find it impossible to leave.

Xu Chen smiled inwardly: Step one of the plan succeeded perfectly.
