âWell, thatâs because they donât know that there really are irresponsible fathers and mothers out there.â
With that, he smiled. She didnât know if it was mockery or something else, but quickly, the loneliness in his eyes disappeared.
Liang Yin could not help but find it strange. He said it as if he could relate to it. However, she did not probe further.
Because now their rooms were next to each other, having returned from shopping, the actor took the bags into his room.
As soon as Liang Yin left, Xiaoqi entered the room. The door had been left ajar, so she could slip in just like that.
âLiang Yin!â
The actor jumped. He looked up and saw her. âWhy did you come in without knocking?â he asked sullenly.
âThe door was unlocked!â
âEven if it wasnât locked, youâd have to knock to get in. Thatâs basic manners.â
Xiaoqiâs expression turned icy and she said disapprovingly, âTo think that youâre a newcomer. Youâre quite arrogant! Ha!â
The actor scoffed at that. âI donât think it has anything to do with airs. It has to do with the quality of a person.â For some reason, he suddenly saw a different and unfamiliar side to Xiaoqi.
In the past, when Xiaoqi was by his side, she was polite, humble, and well-mannered. Now that he had become Liang Yin. This Xiaoqi seemed to have become a little⦠high and mighty!
Unruffled, the actor asked, âWhat brings you here?â
Very quickly, Xiaoqi went straight to the point. âI want to swap rooms with you.â
âWhat?â Hua Jin was surprised to hear this. âWhy do you want to swap rooms?â
âI can swap if I want. Why are you asking so many questions?â
The actorâs irritation at her attitude grew. âThis is my room. Do I not even have the right to ask?â
âOkay, then let me ask you something.â Xiaoqi started, âWhatâs your relationship with Hua Jin?â
The actor listened, his face expressionless. âHeâs my employer. Iâm his assistant. Thatâs the kind of relationship we have.â
âHmph, I donât think your relationship with him is as simple as it looks! I donât know how Boss Qin Zhou could end up assigning your room to him. I donât know what method you used! Oh! Donât tell me youâre thinking of taking advantage of the situation?!â
The more Hua Jin listened to this, the more confused he became. Although he did not understand what Xiaoqi meant, it was definitely unfriendly!
âI donât understand what youâre trying to convey.â
âIâm sure you do!â
Xiaoqi suddenly became aggressive. âYou like Hua Jin, donât you!?â
The actorâs lips twitched. That was a difficult question! He was Hua Jin. Was there a problem liking himself?
He suddenly realizedâ¦
Could this Xiaoqi beâ¦
âOh.â He gave her a sudden, profound smile. âI see. Youâre trying to squeeze me out, arenât you?â
âWhat ⦠what did you say?â
âMaybe youâre jealous because heâs being so nice to me and that upsets you. Is that why youâre trying to squeeze me out?â
Admittedly, the actor was extremely observant.
Xiaoqi snorted. âWho are you that I have to be jealous? Who do you think you are? Iâm Hua Jinâs personal assistant, and Iâve been taking care of him for three years. Youâre nothing!â
The actor said coldly and expressionlessly, âYouâd better watch what you say. Thereâs a limit to my tolerance!â
