Qin Yue already felt guilty, and now hearing Lin Xi's words, she was instantly startled—she hadn't expected Lin Xi to be so clever, to know that her invitation to dinner had an ulterior motive.

"Lin Xi, I can't deny you're very intelligent, and yes, I invited you out today because I do have something to discuss with you. I want to talk about Wang Yu."

"Oh, just as I had anticipated! I guessed you've fallen for him, right? If so, just say it straight to me. I could consider splitting him in two, then we each get a half."
