427: The two women were open and honest.

Upon hearing Wang Ziyan's answer, Li Yanran smiled and nodded, then asked again, "Ziyan, did you see Zifeng's wife at the groundbreaking ceremony today?"

Wang Ziyan shook her head and said, "There were so many people there, and in such a setting, she didn't appear with Zifeng. No one introduced her to me either, so how could I know which one was Zifeng's wife?"

There were indeed too many people at the scene. The low-key Chen Yuxi was not seated on the Rostrum, and Wang Ziyan's focus was entirely on the Rostrum, so she truly hadn't seen Chen Yuxi.

Hearing Wang Ziyan's answer, Li Yanran said with a smile, "I've had a meal with Zifeng's wife, Sister Yuxi, and have had some contact with her.

Sister Yuxi is very easy to get along with; she's amiable and kind. Not only is she very beautiful, but she's also Zifeng's excellent helpmate."

Hearing Li Yanran's high praise for Chen Yuxi, Wang Ziyan was stunned. She couldn't help but think that Yanran didn't know she already knew—that Yanran was already with Zifeng.

Logically, Yanran and Zifeng's wife should be love rivals. She hadn't expected Yanran to have such a high opinion of this Chen Yuxi.

Looking at Yanran, it didn't seem like she was faking it. Besides, there was no need for Yanran to lie to her.

So this could only mean one thing: Chen Yuxi was a very good, very sensible, and outstanding woman.

No wonder Zifeng chose to marry Chen Yuxi, making her his lawfully wedded wife to accompany him for a lifetime. There was a reason Zifeng loved her so much.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziyan smiled and nodded, saying, "Zifeng is so outstanding, he deserves such a good partner. I wonder when I can meet this Sister Yuxi you speak of?"

"You'll see her in a little while. Tonight, Zifeng and Sister Yuxi are hosting a banquet for those of us who came from out of town.

Sister Yuxi just sent me a message.

The artists from our company are all very good friends with Zifeng, and they will also attend the banquet tonight. Come with us in a bit!"

Li Yanran said with a smile.

In fact, earlier in Lin Zifeng's Office, Lin Zifeng had already told Wang Ziyan about the banquet for friends and asked her to attend with Li Yanran.

However, to prevent Li Yanran from noticing her relationship with Lin Zifeng, Wang Ziyan deliberately gave an 'oh' and said, "Is that appropriate? They didn't invite me."

"What's inappropriate about it? Aren't you also a good friend of Zifeng's? When Zifeng hosts friends, how could he leave out someone like you who came from so far away?"

After saying this, Li Yanran couldn't help but think that her sister was still putting on an act with her! This was truly interesting.

Did she think I didn't know about her real relationship with Zifeng? Don't forget, that club is my property.

This sister of hers had quite a few schemes! Back then, she had taken the lead and struck first before she could.

Since she wanted to hide her relationship with Zifeng, she would purposefully not let her have her way, treating it as 'revenge' for her striking first back then.

Thinking of this, Li Yanran chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, she calmly stood up, sat down beside Wang Ziyan, and reached out to take Wang Ziyan's hand in hers.

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Wang Ziyan smiled and nodded. She didn't find Li Yanran's sudden closeness strange, as the two were quite close.

So Wang Ziyan held Li Yanran's hand back, looking at the nearby Li Yanran with a beaming smile.

Li Yanran looked into Wang Ziyan's eyes and suddenly said, "Ziyan, you like Zifeng and love him secretly, don't you?"

Faced with Li Yanran's sudden attack, Wang Ziyan was stunned, just as Li Yanran had expected.

Seeing her expression, Li Yanran giggled.

Wang Ziyan finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Yanran, what nonsense are you talking about? Zifeng and I are just friends. He's already married with a daughter, how could I like him or love him secretly?"

Looking at the stubborn Wang Ziyan, Li Yanran didn't give her any chance to argue and continued, "Friends? The kind of friends who roll around in bed together? Are those kinds of friends just ordinary friends?"

Facing Li Yanran's questioning, a trace of panic appeared on Wang Ziyan's pretty face, and she quickly said, "You're talking more and more out of line. How can you say anything that comes to mind? Have you no shame?"

Seeing that Wang Ziyan was still quibbling and denying it, Li Yanran directly stated the information she possessed.

"Ziyan, stop quibbling and denying it in front of me. That night you stayed at my club, you must have a deep, unforgettable memory of it, right?

You left early the next day and went straight back to Huanan Province. Zifeng disposed of that bedsheet with the 'Plum Blossoms,' but how could that be hidden from my eyes as the club owner?

At the time, I even blamed you a little for striking first and getting ahead of me!

Later, I thought about how we are both people in the same boat, so I understood and stopped blaming you.

So there's no need to hide it from me, because there's simply no point."

Seeing the confident Li Yanran and hearing her words, Wang Ziyan was stunned. she hadn't expected Li Yanran to have known about her relationship with Lin Zifeng long ago.

She already knew what happened that night, yet she was still here acting so hard! Being exposed to her face, she felt like she was standing naked before her; it was a bit too ridiculous.

But why would she expose her to her face? It seemed the other party wanted to be open and honest with her. Fortunately, she also knew about the relationship between her and Zifeng.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziyan felt embarrassed but also relieved.

So her pretty face turned red, and she said coquettishly, "Yanran, you're so annoying! You clearly knew everything, yet you still let me perform so hard in front of you. You're exposing me now just to make me lose face on purpose, aren't you?"

"Who told you to strike first and get ahead of me! I've been feeling disgruntled, and now I've finally vented that frustration. Let's call it even, okay?"

Li Yanran said with a face full of smiles.

Hearing Li Yanran's words and understanding her purpose for doing so, Wang Ziyan also showed a relaxed smile.

"Yanran, I didn't expect you to think that way. Back then, I also knew you would eventually be with Zifeng. I fell in love with Zifeng, loved him deeply, and didn't want to leave any regrets. That's why, under the pressure from you, I took the initiative to launch an offensive on Zifeng.

Now that we've both become his women, let's not have the pot calling the kettle black."

Wang Ziyan said with a giggle.

"How could I laugh at you? We're like sisters now, and we should be even closer than before, keeping our relationship with Zifeng a secret together.

That way, we'll have a good sister to talk to about everything, and we won't have to cautiously hide our little secrets anymore."

Li Yanran said while tightly holding Wang Ziyan's hand.

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Wang Ziyan nodded vigorously with joy.

Just then, a knock sounded outside the Office, and then Li Dongliang pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the two women, he said, "Sister, Sister Ziyan, it's about time. Sister Xiaohu and the others are already waiting in the lobby downstairs. Let's head over quickly! Don't keep Brother Lin and the others waiting too long."

Hearing Li Dongliang's words, the two women smiled and nodded, then walked out with Li Dongliang.
