Chapter 1079

Hearing the sound, Lin Yi and the woman quickly moved apart, feeling a guilty sense of being caught bad-mouthing someone.

Ning Chen glanced coldly at the two.

In fact, Ning Chen had only looked casually, but to the woman, that look seemed wrong in every way.

She had already formed an idea: since these people's feelings for each other were not that good, she could easily sow discord between them.

The woman's first target was naturally Lin Yi.

After washing the dishes, the woman and Lin Yi sat on the sofa; she looked around, then moved closer to Lin Yi.

Startled by this sudden move, Lin Yi instinctively wanted to pull away, but since he had already lowered his guard against the woman, he forcibly stopped himself.

His body had become stiff from having to stay still, but fortunately he was wearing clothes, and because the woman was nervous and distracted, she did not notice his oddness.

"What's wrong?" The woman wouldn't have moved so close suddenly unless she had something to say, so Lin Yi asked in a low voice.

"Here's the thing: I want to ask you, have you had enough of them?" Pointing to the seats on both sides, the woman spoke so softly that Lin Yi could barely hear it unless he strained to listen.

"Of course. They bully me every day; I've had enough of that long ago."

"Since that's the case, do you want to drive them all away? Then no one will compete with you for anything."

A flash of sharp light passed through Lin Yi's eyes; he felt he was close to uncovering the truth behind why the woman had approached them.

"Of course, but... sigh, I have no ability; I simply can't fight them."

The woman moved even closer to Lin Yi and whispered in his ear: "It doesn't matter. Even if you have no ability, it doesn't matter; I can be with you."

Hearing this, Lin Yi turned his head slightly, his eyes filled with surprise: "Huh? Do you have a plan?"

The woman nodded firmly, then made a shushing gesture toward Lin Yi, indicating that this was not a good place to talk.

"Then in a moment, I'll take you to the warehouse, and we'll talk." Lowering his voice, Lin Yi spoke to the woman in a breathy whisper.

He hadn't expected that this woman, having only been here a day, would already be so impatient; Lin Yi wanted to see what she intended to do.

Up front, Ning Chen and Xiao Han had long since seen the two's actions clearly in the rearview mirror.

Ning Chen curled his lips slightly; it seemed the fish had taken the bait.
