This statement sounded a bit playful, yet it didn't make one feel it was a joke.
Li Yinong and Zhang Shuishui exchanged another glance, all along they were communicating with their eyes.
Despite their competitive relationship, they grew up together, and it's only due to familial ties that they are competitors; hence, they have an unusual mutual understanding.
After exchanging looks, they quickly discerned each other's thoughts.
Li Yinong looked at Fang Yi again, smiling as she said, "If it's truly as Mr. Fang says, then I have to admire Mr. Fang's exceptional insight."
Fang Yi responded indifferently, "You flatter me."
Zhang Shuishui said, "What are you doing at the wholesale market, here to buy medicinal herbs?"
Fang Yi feigned surprise and said, "Miss Zhang is so sharp-minded, to immediately figure out my purpose here, I'm impressed!"
Zhang Shuishui rolled her eyes, clearly not impressed by Fang Yi's flattery.
