"I didn't do anything! I heard you and your bodyguard spent a night on Lonely Island together, is that true?" Xiao Lian asked.

"Cough, cough!" As soon as Lin Yifan heard his sister asking these questions, he couldn't help but cough; because he knew his sister was up to mischief again.

"Only Yifan and I know about this, so how did she find out? Could it be that Yifan leaked the information? Or did An Gang fabricate negative news to deliberately slander her?" An Qi was puzzled.

She suspected An Gang for a reason, as he knew she and Lin Yifan hadn't died in the ocean; so he might have fabricated bad news to ruin her reputation.

Eager to clarify the truth, she curiously asked, "How did you come to know this news?"

"How I know isn't important, the important thing is, did you two do 'that' on Lonely Island?"

Upon hearing his sister involved in this matter, Lin Yifan got angry and glared at Xiao Lian.

However, Xiao Lian treated him as if he were invisible, ignoring him.

Lin Yifan couldn't make a scene right then, or his identity and relationships would be exposed.

And so, Xiao Lian chatted freely with An Qi.

"Which one?" An Qi asked, curious.

In fact, she had already guessed what Xiao Lian was implying; however, as a dignified lady, she wouldn't answer such an inappropriate question directly; so she feigned ignorance and asked back.

"The kissing, the slapping one."

Xiao Lian, not at all embarrassed, felt it was fine to discuss such a topic, as everyone was an adult.

"..." An Qi was speechless, surprised that Lin Secretary was brazen enough to discuss such embarrassing matters openly, truly leaving her at a loss for words.

"Lin Secretary, can you keep your thoughts clean?"

Lin Yifan couldn't hold back any longer and spoke out to criticize.

"What's unclean about my thoughts? This is all just adult stuff. A man and a woman alone on an island; then two wet bodies openly facing each other, how could they possibly withstand the flames of desire?" Xiao Lian retorted.

She was somewhat excited in her speech; so her voice was slightly loud, and then Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing next to her heard it.

At that moment, both women widened their eyes at Lin Yifan, hoping he could provide a plausible explanation.

"How could I not withstand it? I'm not that kind of unprincipled person, how could I make advances on my own boss?"

Lin Yifan fiercely refuted Xiao Lian's view, his emotions somewhat intense.

However, An Qi nearby didn't quite agree with his statement.

Because on the island, Lin Yifan had been all over her; and he almost 'had' her, if it weren't for her vigorous resistance, she might have given herself away. Thus, Lin Yifan was blatantly lying.

But, she wouldn't confront Lin Yifan publicly; as that would benefit no one.

"It's hard to say, you're not reliable," she remarked.

She might have believed her brother ten years ago; but today, a decade later, she had her doubts.

"Whether I'm reliable or not is not for you to decide, my girlfriend has to say!" Lin Yifan looked towards Zhou Jiajia, then asked, "Jiajia! Do you think I'm reliable?"

"Reliable! Very reliable!" Zhou Jiajia heartily agreed with the viewpoint.

In her heart, Lin Yifan was the most faithful, most reliable man, whom she trusted deeply.

Yet, her response made Xiao Lian couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft!"

The back-and-forth between her brother and sister-in-law was just too hilarious; she hadn't expected her brother to be so shamelessly bold, nor had she thought her sister-in-law would be so naive as to believe her brother's nonsense.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Jiajia frowned and asked, feeling somewhat annoyed.

However, Su Qingqing and An Qi in the room knew exactly why she was laughing.

In the entire private room, among the six people, she might be the only one unaware that Lin Yifan had another woman in his heart.

"I'm not laughing at anything!" she replied, then swiftly changed the subject, "Have you two gone public with your relationship?"

After all, Lin Yifan was her own brother; she had to help cover for him with his wife, otherwise, the sibling bond could potentially be destroyed.

"Are you surprised?" Zhou Jiajia retorted.

"Surprised! Very surprised! I thought you two were going to hide it until your hair turned white and the earth and heavens aged before admitting it," she giggled in response, her face full of sarcasm.

"Secretary Lin! You knew they were together from the beginning?" An Qi was very surprised.

She couldn't believe that an outsider knew before she did, which was truly embarrassing.

"Yes! That time at the hotel, I ran into them; it was also thanks to Mr. Lin stepping in to help that I was able to escape from the clutches of those bad guys."

As she spoke, her face filled with gratitude.

If it hadn't been for her brother, she might have been violated by those bad guys long ago; she wouldn't be standing here so proudly, critiquing everyone.

"So, does that mean they didn't actually do that thing?" An Qi curiously inquired.

This had been mentioned by Lin Yifan on Lonely Island; now it seemed to be true.

"What? You seem quite concerned; could it be that you've fallen for Mr. Lin?" she countered.

With her brother's three women, she could easily play them for fools.

"How is that possible! Jiajia is my dear sister, how could I snatch what she loves," An Qi hastily explained.

Being publicly exposed for the first time, she felt utterly confused and at a loss.

"Hmph! I was just asking, why are you so nervous?"

With a slight upward curve of her lips, the implication was clear, and everyone present understood.

Zhou Jiajia involuntarily tensed up; the last thing she wanted was for An Qi to compete with her for a man; thus, she was really afraid An Qi might be interested in Lin Yifan.

On the other side, Su Qingqing felt the competition was extremely fierce; she could never have imagined that another stunning beauty would target Lin Yifan so soon, which made her feel very pressured.

"I must get ahead of her and win over big sister!"

She swore to herself, but lacked confidence; because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't compete with the deep friendship and sisterly bond that An Qi and Zhou Jiajia had built over more than twenty years.

She was at a disadvantage from the start and couldn't outpace An Qi. However, she was determined to persist, striving to gain Zhou Jiajia's approval and hoping to live with Lin Yifan as soon as possible.

At this moment, the three women interested in Lin Yifan each harbored their own thoughts at the dinner table.

Watching this scene, she shot Lin Yifan a meaningful glance as if to say, "This is the mess you've made; you clean it up."

Lin Yifan also felt the current atmosphere was extremely awkward; he then coughed twice, trying to break the ice, "Ahem! Let's eat quickly! The food is getting cold."

However, his words had little effect, as the three exceptional beauties still had their own concerns and lacked appetite.
