As Li Bin left the room and the door softly closed, Sun Yining and Wen Lan blushed furiously, the atmosphere turning awkward and charged with ambiguity.
"Wen Lan… just now… I'm sorry… I… I got carried away… I was too impulsive…" Sun Yining glanced nervously at Wen Lan, feeling guilty like a thief caught in the act.
"It's… it's fine… Yining… you little devil, don't you dare try that again! Hmph! ~~ You almost had me there!" Wen Lan playfully glared at Sun Yining, and as their eyes met, they both burst into laughter.
"Wen Lan… about you and your brother-in-law… what are you going to do?" Sun Yining asked curiously in a low voice.
Wen Lan didn't hide her feelings for Li Bin from Sun Yining. Knowing about this forbidden love, Sun Yining was oddly eager to see them together, perhaps wanting her best friend to cross ethical lines as she had.
"What… what can I do? He's my brother-in-law! What can I do? Maybe some loves are just meant to go unfulfilled…" Wen Lan sighed wistfully, gazing sadly in the direction Li Bin left.
"Silly girl, if you love him so much, why keep it bottled up? Why fight it? If there's a problem, we can solve it together! Think about it—what's your biggest worry about being with him?" Sun Yining coaxed gently, guiding her.
"My sister, of course! Becoming her third wheel… ruining her family… that's… that's too sinful, isn't it?" Wen Lan turned to Sun Yining earnestly, helpless. "That's why I have to hold back, why I'm in pain."
"And my parents… if Mom and Dad knew… about me and my brother-in-law… they'd… they'd kill me…" Wen Lan covered her flushed face, growing more ashamed and scared as she spoke.
Seeing Wen Lan's charming distress, even Sun Yining, a woman, was captivated by her natural beauty and allure, a charm that could enchant anyone.
"Then figure out how to deal with your sister first!" Sun Yining grinned mischievously, whispering conspiratorially, "If your sister doesn't mind, can't you and your brother-in-law be together guilt-free? Both sisters sharing one husband, living happily together—doesn't that sound nice?"
Wen Lan's jaw dropped, staring at Sun Yining. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my sister accept that? You think my brother-in-law is a toy to share? He's her husband! Our country has monogamy! How could she agree? That's incest!"
"Naive!" Sun Yining wagged her delicate finger, pulling Wen Lan close and whispering slyly, "My little fool, which rich or powerful man doesn't fool around with his sister-in-law? Brothers-in-law liking sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law liking brothers-in-law—it's normal! Yes, we have monogamy, but how many keep mistresses? How many have lovers? The powerful have multiple wives—do their wives complain? It's just a trick to fool the masses. In private, the rich do all sorts of unethical things. You just don't know! When I first entered this circle, I thought it was chaotic—now, I see it's human nature. Our country's history is full of polygamy, concubines galore! For exceptional men, having multiple wives is normal. You and your sister are blood—'keep the wealth in the family,' right? Both sisters staying home together—sounds perfect…"
Sun Yining's twisted logic began to sway the innocent Wen Lan, who felt a flicker of temptation.
"But… what about my parents?" Wen Lan asked, still conflicted.
