“Well, that’s because they don’t know that there really are irresponsible fathers and mothers out there.”

With that, he smiled. She didn’t 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.

“Liang Yin!”

The actor jumped. He looked up and saw her. “Why did you come in without knocking?” he asked sullenly.

“The door was unlocked!”

“Even if it wasn’t locked, you’d have to knock to get in. That’s basic manners.”

Xiaoqi’s expression turned icy and she said disapprovingly, “To think that you’re a newcomer. You’re quite arrogant! Ha!”

The actor scoffed at that. “I don’t think it has anything to do with airs. It has to do with the quality of a person.” 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, “What brings you here?”

Very quickly, Xiaoqi went straight to the point. “I want to swap rooms with you.”

“What?” Hua Jin was surprised to hear this. “Why do you want to swap rooms?”

“I can swap if I want. Why are you asking so many questions?”

The actor’s irritation at her attitude grew. “This is my room. Do I not even have the right to ask?”

“Okay, then let me ask you something.” Xiaoqi started, “What’s your relationship with Hua Jin?”

The actor listened, his face expressionless. “He’s my employer. I’m his assistant. That’s the kind of relationship we have.”

“Hmph, I don’t think your relationship with him is as simple as it looks! I don’t know how Boss Qin Zhou could end up assigning your room to him. I don’t know what method you used! Oh! Don’t tell me you’re thinking of taking advantage of the situation?!”

The more Hua Jin listened to this, the more confused he became. Although he did not understand what Xiaoqi meant, it was definitely unfriendly!

“I don’t understand what you’re trying to convey.”

“I’m sure you do!”

Xiaoqi suddenly became aggressive. “You like Hua Jin, don’t you!?”

The actor’s lips twitched. That was a difficult question! He was Hua Jin. Was there a problem liking himself?

He suddenly realized…

Could this Xiaoqi be…

“Oh.” He gave her a sudden, profound smile. “I see. You’re trying to squeeze me out, aren’t you?”

“What … what did you say?”

“Maybe you’re jealous because he’s being so nice to me and that upsets you. Is that why you’re trying to squeeze me out?”

Admittedly, the actor was extremely observant.

Xiaoqi snorted. “Who are you that I have to be jealous? Who do you think you are? I’m Hua Jin’s personal assistant, and I’ve been taking care of him for three years. You’re nothing!”

The actor said coldly and expressionlessly, “You’d better watch what you say. There’s a limit to my tolerance!”
