Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her but didn't say anything.
The game started again, and this time Shen Mo won again, while the bottle slowly pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Looking at the bottle pointed at her, Lin Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said softly, "I choose truth."
Shen Mo's spirits lifted, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Are President Lin and Teacher Tang in a romantic relationship?"
[Holy crap, even though I knew Chen Mo had bad intentions, was it going to be this explosive right from the start?]
[What do you mean by "lovers"? That's going too far! Don't you know how to speak? Our CEO Lin and Miss Tang Xue are clearly lovers.]
[This Chen Mo is really here to stir up trouble.]
Although...but...I also want to know how President Lin will answer this question.
Whether you're a fan of the Lin Xue CP, a fan of Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao, or someone else, everyone is curious about the answer to this question.
Lin Xiaoxiao lifted her eyelids, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. She picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and then calmly said, "No."
Shen Mo's malice was far too obvious. What did she mean by "lover's relationship"? Her words were clearly meant to smear Tang Xue.
"Mr. Lin, you wouldn't be lying to protect Teacher Tang's reputation, would you?" Not hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Chen Mo held back for a moment, but couldn't help but speak up.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat up straight, her dark eyes fixed on Chen Mo. The warmth and smile of the past were gone from her eyes; all that remained was indifference and coldness.
Shen Mo subconsciously leaned back. Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little scary to her, but the next second, she saw the person opposite her curl up the corners of their lips and reveal a smile.
Lin Xiaoxiao tapped the table, her icy aura vanished, replaced by a gentle and bright smile, as if to say that what had just happened was just an illusion.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, looked at Chen Mo opposite her, and said slowly and deliberately, "I chose to tell the truth, not a lie. I still have the most basic bottom line as a person. If I couldn't play this game, I wouldn't be sitting here."
Lin Xiaoxiao was quite unhappy that Shen Mo accused her of lying, but what upset her even more was Shen Mo's words directed at Tang Xue.
What does it mean to lie to protect Tang Xue? If the situation didn't prevent it, Lin Xiaoxiao would have rushed up and had a good talk with her.

Chapter 107
===================
Wow, that's a bit scary. You can feel President Lin's aura even through the screen.
[After being a domineering CEO for so many years, it would be strange if President Lin didn't have the aura a CEO should have.]
The guests just now all instinctively straightened their backs; they were clearly intimidated by our CEO Lin's imposing presence.
Although I don't like Chen Mo, I still admire her courage. She's got some nerve, daring to provoke our CEO Lin like that.
[That's really brave of them, daring to question whether our CEO Lin is lying. Is our CEO Lin the kind of person who lies?]
[President Lin isn't angry because Shen Mo said she lied, is she? It's because Shen Mo's words were smearing our Miss Tang Xue, isn't it?]
Wow, I love it! What a huge bite of candy, it's sweet right to my heart.
[Happy, another day filled with sweetness!]
While the audience was happily discussing how they were getting more sweet moments, the two who had been tidying up in the kitchen came out.
"What game are you playing?" Lin Xi and Xiao Yu heard Chen Xingyu singing outside while they were in the kitchen.
The group looked up at the two people who had come out. Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the seat next to Tang Xue, "Teacher Lin, sit here."
Lin Xi walked over and sat down next to Tang Xue. Lin Xiaoxiao shifted her position closer to Tang Xue and waved to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, sit here."
Xiao Yu nodded without refusing, and sat down next to Lin Xiaoxiao. As expected, she received a rather displeased look from Shen Mo.
Xiao Yu glanced at Chen Mo, picked up an empty glass from the table and poured herself a glass of water, pretending she hadn't seen Chen Mo's look at all.
"We're playing Truth or Dare," Lin Xiaoxiao explained. "Would Teacher Lin and Xiaoyu like to join us?"
"There's nothing much going on, let's all play for a bit." Chen Mo tapped the empty bottle on the table. "Teacher Lin and Xiaoyu shouldn't be too scared to play, right?"
After saying this, Shen Mo focused her gaze on Xiao Yu. As for Lin Xi, she was not within Shen Mo's attack range. Whether Lin Xi could play this game or not was not important to Shen Mo.
"Go ahead and play." Xiao Yu put down her cup, smiled at Chen Mo, and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"
For Xiao Yu, she had just entered this industry and there was nothing she couldn't reveal.
Lin Xi glanced at the people around her, then focused her gaze on Chen Mo, and smiled, "Playing? Sounds quite interesting."
The game began, and this time Lin Xi won and Shen Yang lost. Shen Yang chose Truth or Dare, and Lin Xi made him dance.
Although Shenyang seems unreliable, a bit silly and naive, his dancing is quite good and has won unanimous praise from everyone.
The game started again, and this time Shen Mo won, while Xiao Yu lost.
"Truth or dare?" Xiao Yu asked slowly, looking at Chen Mo.
Xiao Yu gripped the cup in her hand and said with a smile, "I choose truth."
If it were anyone else, Xiao Yu wouldn't have been so determined to choose truth, but since it was Shen Mo, Xiao Yu had reservations.
"Honestly speaking." Shen Mo was clearly satisfied with Xiao Yu's choice. She glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao beside Xiao Yu and slowly uttered, "Did you have ulterior motives for getting close to President Lin?"
Xiao Yu glanced quickly at Lin Xiaoxiao, then at Tang Xue beside her, and nodded with a forced smile, "Yes."
Although her ulterior motives were to enjoy the sweet moments and ship the couple, ulterior motives are ulterior motives, and that cannot be denied.
Tang Xue glanced at Xiao Yu subtly, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and remained calm, as if she hadn't heard anything and didn't care about anything.
Of course, if there wasn't a hint of coldness in her eyes, then she would be perfect.
Is Miss Tang Xue angry?
[You're angry, aren't you? You must be angry. Miss Tang Xue is probably thinking right now, why do all these people have their eyes on my wife? It's too much!]
[All I want to ask right now is, did Xiao Yu feel Tang Xue's cold aura?]
[Hahaha, that's so pitiful! I felt Xiao Yu's shoulder twitch; she must have been chilled by Tang Xue's air conditioning.]
The audience's guess was correct; Xiao Yu now truly felt like she had a thorn in her side.
Although Tang Xue didn't look in her direction and she didn't sense any oppressive atmosphere directed at her, Xiao Yu inexplicably felt uneasy.
She shifted her position, then shifted again, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"Careful." Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Xiao Yu. "If you move any further over there, you'll fall to the ground."
Xiao Yu swallowed hard, then quietly moved a little closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, and then secretly glanced at Tang Xue.
Tang Xue moved closer to Lin Xi and said, "Sit inside, don't fall down."
"Thank you, Teacher Tang." A smile instantly appeared on Xiao Yu's face.
Tang Xue nodded to Xiao Yu, and the atmosphere among the three seemed quite harmonious.
Seeing this scene, Shen Mo's mood was not very good. She thought that Lin Xiaoxiao would change her attitude towards Xiao Yu after hearing Xiao Yu say that she had designs on Lin Xiaoxiao.
As a result, Lin Xiaoxiao acted as if she hadn't heard Xiao Yu's words at all, and her attitude towards Xiao Yu remained the same as before.
Shen Mo's smile faded. Among everyone, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to only treat her badly.
Clearly, Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't the only one with designs on her, so why did Lin Xiaoxiao treat them so differently?
Looking down at her toes, no one saw the coldness and malice hidden in Chen Mo's eyes.
The game starts again.
Seeing the bottle stop facing her, Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and said unhurriedly, "I choose truth."
"Honestly!" Chen Mo smiled. "Has President Lin made up his mind?"
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled, "Of course, I choose truth. What do you want to ask?"
Shen Mo glanced at Tang Xue and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Does President Lin like Teacher Tang?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's fingertips trembled slightly. She controlled herself not to turn her head to look at Tang Xue, leaned back a little, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, I like Tang Xue."
Tang Xue's heart pounded, and the rapid beating made her feel as if her breathing had become more difficult.
Although she knew perfectly well that Lin Xiaoxiao's "like" didn't mean anything else, it was simply because they were good friends, and Lin Xiaoxiao's "like" was just liking for a friend.
However, when she heard the words "I like Tang Xue," she still couldn't help but have expectations and inappropriate thoughts.
"I meant the feelings between a boyfriend and girlfriend," Chen Mo quickly added.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression turned cold. She looked at Chen Mo and said in an icy tone, "This is your second question. I have no obligation to answer it."
Tang Xue gripped the sofa tightly, her head slightly lowered, concealing all her emotions.
"Sorry, let's play another round." Shen Mo leaned back a little, creating some distance between them. She felt that Lin Xiaoxiao's sharpness wasn't so hard to bear anymore.
A new round of the game has begun.
The winner... is still Shen Mo, and the loser... is still Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Does President Lin want to choose Truth or Dare?" Shen Mo looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile. After several rounds of the game, Shen Mo noticed a problem: Lin Xiaoxiao didn't seem to want to reveal the fact that she was a lesbian.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..."
Lin Xiaoxiao regretted playing the game. If she hadn't played it, she wouldn't be in this dilemma.
If she chooses dare at this moment, it will make people think she has something to hide. Tang Xue is smart; she will definitely notice something.
But what if she chooses truth or dare, and Shen Mo asks herself if her feelings for Tang Xue are romantic?
Swallowing hard, Lin Xiaoxiao curled her fingers and lowered her gaze, noticing Tang Xue's hand on the sofa.
Tang Xue's fingers were beautiful, with delicate skin, long and slender fingers, and distinct knuckles. Lin Xiaoxiao stared at them for a while, and then looked up at Chen Mo with a gentle smile on her face. "I choose truth."
"Is Mr. Lin gay?" Shen Mo asked, a hint of mockery and malice creeping into her eyes.
With Tang Xue as a comparison, and now with Xiao Yu added to the mix, Chen Mo could clearly sense Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude towards her.
Although she had always thought she could win over Lin Xiaoxiao, now, Shen Mo was a little uncertain.
