433: Have you two been open and honest with each other?

"What are you guys talking about? You seem so happy."

Li Yanran and the other women were sitting in the large Living Room on the first floor. Seeing Lin Zifeng and the others walking in laughing and chatting, the women all stood up, and Li Yanran was the first to ask.

"Sis, we're talking about men's topics! Don't go poking around."

After answering Li Yanran, Li Dongliang invited Lin Zifeng to sit on the sofa.

With so many people present, Li Yanran didn't snap back at her brother's retort, only laughing and scolding him in her mind, "Stupid brat."

Everyone greeted Lin Zihua one after another. After Lin Zifeng responded to each one, he took a sip of tea and looked at the women sitting opposite him. He couldn't help but think that these seven women, except for Wang Meijia, had all dressed up meticulously.

The bevy of women, like chirping birds, competed in their beauty, making him feel as if he had entered the Kingdom of Women. Fortunately, Xiao Liang and the others were there; otherwise, he would have felt a bit uneasy being here alone.

Everyone chatted while drinking tea. "Secretary Lin, why did you come alone? Why didn't Sister Yuxi come?" Li Yanran asked.

"She's not feeling well and is at home drinking brown sugar water! She asked me to apologize on her behalf; she'll have to gather with everyone another time when there's an opportunity."

Hearing Lin Zifeng's answer, everyone understood what was going on and said it was fine.

Ten minutes later, a Nanny walked up to Li Yanran and said, "President Li, the banquet is ready."

"Sister Zhang has already seen off the hotel kitchen staff we invited."

"You can invite your friends to dine now."

Li Yanran nodded with a smile and stood up, saying, "Everyone, let's move to the dining room and chat over drinks!"

Everyone stood up and walked toward the dining room with Li Yanran.

They arrived at the dining room, sat around the large dining table, and began to eat, drink, and chat.

They talked about various anecdotes and their own experiences, and cheerful laughter rang out in the dining room from time to time.

"Brother Lin, I'm going back to the Capital tomorrow. When will you be going to the Capital again?"

"My sister wants me to go back and take charge of the Head Office's business operations, so I won't be able to come here for a while. To tell you the truth, I haven't had enough fun here yet!"

Yuhang put down his wine glass and said with some reluctance.

"I can't say for sure right now. If work requires it, I might go over at any time."

"But at the latest, I'll be going to the Capital for a meeting next March."

"Your sister letting you take charge of the Head Office's work is also the best training for you. You must seize the opportunity to grow and become even more outstanding. Others wouldn't find such an opportunity even if they looked for it, so you must make the most of it!"

"One experiences many partings and reunions in life. Every parting is for a better reunion next time."

"Come, let's have a drink together. May our friendship last forever. Yushu City welcomes all friends to visit anytime in the future, and I will always be waiting for your arrival in Yushu City."

As Lin Zifeng spoke, he raised his glass.

Everyone raised their glasses in response and drank with Lin Zifeng.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the dinner party drew to a close. Everyone put down their glasses and started eating the staple food.

Dinner ended after more than an hour. As night fell, Lin Zifeng and the other men didn't stay long. They bid farewell to the women, left the villa, and drove away from Huaxiang Villa District.

Li Dongliang and Lin Zifeng were in the same car. Once the car drove out of Huaxiang Villa District, he said, "Brother Lin, it's still early, not even eight o'clock yet! Shall we go for another round?"

"Let's forget it, Xiao Liang. I see your eyes are almost closing from the drink. You should go back to the hotel and get some sleep! You guys have to head back to the Capital tomorrow."

"If you get drunk tonight, you'll feel miserable on the road tomorrow. Just drop me off at the intersection ahead. I want to take a stroll and sober up a bit."

"We'll have plenty of chances to meet again in the future."

"Alright, Brother Lin, I'll do as you say. Looking forward to our next gathering."

Li Dongliang obediently agreed.

The driver stopped the car at the intersection. After getting out, Lin Zifeng waved goodbye to them. Watching the two cars disappear at the intersection, Lin Zifeng then walked quickly toward Fuguihua Residential Area.

The reason he was going to Fuguihua Residential Area was that Li Yanran had sent him a text message, asking to meet at the small villa only they knew about. That smaller villa was located in the villa area inside Fuguihua Residential Area.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Zifeng entered the door lock code and opened the door. Upon entering the room, he heard the sound of running water from the Bathroom.

Lin Zifeng knew Li Yanran was showering inside. Time was limited as he had to rush home later, so without a second thought, he quickly took off his clothes and walked toward the Bathroom with anticipation.

Lin Zifeng walked into the Bathroom, hugged the delicate body in front of him from behind through the steaming mist, and whispered, "Let's wash together!"

But a scream rang out, startling Lin Zifeng into quickly letting go.

Fortunately, the villa's soundproofing was good; otherwise, if someone heard, they might be scared into calling the police! Thinking this, Lin Zifeng looked at Li Yanran in confusion.

But the person standing before him wasn't Li Yanran; it was Wang Ziyan.

After Wang Ziyan saw clearly that it was Lin Zifeng, she said coquettishly, "Zifeng, why did you come in? I'm showering! Get out quickly."

"Why are you here, Ziyan? Where's Yanran?"

Lin Zifeng didn't obediently leave but asked in confusion.

"Yanran didn't come. She told me to come by myself, saying I would meet you here. I didn't expect you to come so soon. Go out now, Zifeng. After I'm done, you can come in and wash."

As Wang Ziyan spoke, she lowered her hands that were covering her private parts and reached out to push him out.

How could her strength move Lin Zifeng? Her hand slipped, and she fell into his arms.

With their skin touching, Lin Zifeng reached out and hugged Wang Ziyan's delicate body, blowing hot air into her ear as he said, "Baby, let's wash together! Otherwise, it'll be too much of a waste of time."

Before Wang Ziyan could say any words of protest, they were directly stifled.

More than an hour later, Lin Zifeng had one arm around Wang Ziyan while the other held a cigarette, leaning comfortably against the headboard.

"Ziyan, Yanran asked me to come and then asked you to come; she's secretly creating an opportunity for us. Why would she do this?"

"Have you two been open with each other?"

Wang Ziyan nodded and, without hesitation, told Lin Zifeng the contents of their conversation from yesterday.

After hearing Wang Ziyan's account, Lin Zifeng said cheerfully, "So that's how it is! Since you two have a close relationship, I can feel more at ease."

"Zifeng, it's late. You should hurry home!"

Although Wang Ziyan was reluctant to let Lin Zifeng leave, she still said considerately.
