"Mr. Lin! Since you are now with Sister Xiangmei, you must comply with three conditions."
"What three conditions?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"Firstly, no smoking, secondly, no drinking, and thirdly, no flirting with others. Can you do that?"
Lin Yifan threw the question back to Xiaoqing, letting her ponder and answer.
Because from beginning to end, only Xiaoqing knew he had a girlfriend, and Li Xiangmei was unaware; so the third condition, he definitely couldn't meet; therefore, if Xiaoqing dragged him down, she would have to take all the responsibility.
"I believe someone as self-disciplined and devoted as Mr. Lin can definitely do it!" Xiaoqing responded with full confidence.
Lin Yifan smiled and felt that it was improper to go on , so he chose to reveal the truth, "Xiangmei, actually that day..."
"Mr. Lin told me that day, he said he could definitely do it."
Xiaoqing quickly took over the conversation, not allowing Lin Yifan any opportunity to exploit.
"Really?" Li Xiangmei was overjoyed and extremely happy.
Not wanting to disappoint Li Xiangmei, Lin Yifan responded with a guilty conscience, "Miss Xiaoqing is telling the truth."
"That's great!" Li Xiangmei's eyes sparkled with joy, then she cut a piece of beef and held it up to Lin Yifan, saying, "Here! A reward for you, some delicious meat."
Lin Yifan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly and then expressing delight at the taste, "Mmm!!! It's so delicious! Beef with a flavor of love tastes wonderful!"
"Oh my! Could you be any cheesier."
Xiaoqing couldn't stand it and thought Lin Yifan was deliberately performing for her.
But Li Xiangmei, immersed in love, didn't find it cheesy at all; on the contrary, she found it incredibly sweet and asked, "Do you want more?"
"Yes! Yes!" Lin Yifan opened his mouth wide like a hungry fledgling bird, begging for more food.
And so, Xiaoqing stood by getting goosebumps, feeling extremely uncomfortable; while Lin Yifan and Li Xiangmei were there lovey-dovey, showing immense affection for each other.
On Thursday morning, as usual, Lin Yifan sat quietly in the office playing with his phone.
After a while, An Qi came out of the office holding a document.
Seeing that there was no one at the assistant's desk, she asked curiously, "Where did Wang Xiaolin go?"
Lin Yifan, engrossed in his phone, didn't hear An Qi's question, so he didn't reply.
This infuriated An Qi, who scolded, "You pervert! Playing with your phone at work, do you have a death wish?"
The roar startled Lin Yifan so much that he nearly dropped his phone.
After the scare, Lin Yifan pretended to be serious and asked, "President An, do you need me for something?"
Taking into account Lin Yifan's many contributions, An Qi didn't want to press him and asked again, "Where did Wang Xiaolin go?"
"She ... she might have gone to the bathroom," he answered hesitantly, as he didn't know where Wang Xiaolin had gone.
"So annoying, not going earlier or later, just had to be now." After complaining, An Qi instructed, "Take this document to the director of the finance department for a re-audit of the finances on it, and make sure it is delivered into his hands, because it's urgent."
Lin Yifan effortlessly took it and then stepped out of the president's office, taking the elevator down.
When he reached the 46th floor and entered the finance department director's office, he was immediately stopped by the director's assistant.
"Mr. Lin! What brings you here?"
"I'm here to deliver documents to the finance department director," Lin Yifan replied.
"Give me the documents. I will hand them over to the director later."
The finance department director's assistant was about to take the documents from Lin Yifan's hand, but Lin Yifan drew them back.
"The general manager instructed me to deliver these documents directly into the hands of the finance department director, and they are urgent, so I'd better give them to him personally."
"Mr. Lin! The director is not in the office, you leave the documents with me, and I will hand them over to him later," the assistant continued to obstruct.
However, the more he insisted, the more suspicious it became, prompting Lin Yifan to ask, "Why wait and not do it now?"
"Because... Because..." Just as the finance department director's assistant was trying to explain, a cry came out from the director's office.
"Young Master An! Let go of me!"
"You're so flirtatious, so sexy, how could I bear to let go?"
A disdainful male voice tinged with evil emanated from the director's office.
Hearing this, the finance department director's assistant sensed trouble brewing and urged, "Mr. Lin, hand over the documents to me, and I'll deliver them to the director immediately."
"Deliver your sister!"
Lin Yifan knocked out the frantic male assistant with a punch and then tiptoed to the door of the finance department director's office; he pressed his ear against the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
The female voice he had just heard belonged to Wang Xiaolin, who called An Huairen "Young Master An." Their relationship must be unusual; she could be a mole An Qi's uncle planted beside An Qi, so he needed to investigate thoroughly.
"I agreed to be your eyes around President An, to leak her itinerary. Why would you treat me this way?" Wang Xiaolin questioned An Huairen.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifan had an epiphany, "No wonder President An gets ambushed every time she goes out; someone has been leaking her itinerary."
This was compelling evidence; he had to record it and let An Qi hear it, so he took out his phone and began recording.
In response to Wang Xiaolin's accusation, An Huairen brazenly replied, "Because I like your face, your sexy body, I like everything about you!"
"You're nothing but a bastard who disregards others' feelings for your own lust, you filthy rogue!" Wang Xiaolin couldn't help but curse.
"You disgusting slut, what right do you have to curse me? Twenty years ago, if it weren't for my dad picking you up from the cold streets, do you think you'd still be alive today? Do you think you'd still be living this comfortably? Do you think you'd still have this pretty, sexy figure?
Let me tell you, that's impossible! So, your life belongs to the An Family, and you must repay every member of the An Family! Now is the time to repay your debt. Let me have another go."
An Huairen revealed his nefarious nature and began to frenetically strip off Wang Xiaolin's clothes.
"Ah!!! No! Help! Lin Yifan, come save me! Please come and save me!"
In her desperation, Wang Xiaolin called out Lin Yifan's name, hoping that the handsome and dashing man she secretly admired would appear and rescue her.
Last time, at the hotel, she knew that even if she called, Lin Yifan wouldn't appear; but this time, at the company, she felt that he might just show up.
