Chapter 154: Chapter 132: New Relationship
Just as she was closing her laptop, about to pack up and head home, her phone suddenly rang.
Qin Yuenan irritably grabbed her phone, but when she saw who was calling, her expression faltered for a moment before softening. She tapped the answer button.
"Hello."
"My dear Director Qin, are you still working overtime?"
Lin Shen asked in the playful tone of a subordinate, and his goofing around made the corners of Qin Yuenanâs mouth curl into a smile. She decided to play along.
"Thatâs right, Lin. Did you need something?"
"Do I need a reason to call you?"
Lin Shen chuckled, then his tone suddenly turned serious.
"That old witch came by today, right? How did it go? Did she give you any trouble?"
"Whoâd dare to bully me?"
Lin Shenâs concern warmed Qin Yuenanâs heart, and she slowly began to recount the dayâs events at the office.
Their conversation was just like any other coupleâs, filled with affection.
Before she knew it, Qin Yuenan had dropped her icy facade, and her voice had taken on a varied, almost coquettish, tone.
Of course, this was in no small part due to Lin Shenâs prodding and "coaching."
He had a knack for steering serious topics off-course, keeping the atmosphere from getting awkward or stale.
Qin Yuenan loved his witty, humorous way with words. The unpredictability of what heâd say next filled her with anticipation.
"...So, thatâs all then? Are you heading off work?"
After they had flirted on the phone for a while, Lin Shen chuckled.
"Well, I wonât keep you from your rest, Director Qin. After all, youâve had a busy week."
"Things should ease up next week."
Qin Yuenan knew sheâd been neglecting her boyfriendâs feelings because she was so busy with work. Pursing her lips, she said a little shyly,
"Iâll spend the whole weekend with you to make up for it, okay?"
"Deal!"
Lin Shen grinned. After hanging up, he drove home, buzzing with excitement.
âLooks like Iâll get to try out some new moves with my ice queen this weekend!â

8:00 PM.
Minâan District, Building 5, Room 403.
After a long day out, Lin Shen was finally back in his cozy little place.
He kicked off his shoes and changed into some soft loungewear.
Lin Shen sat quietly on the sofa for a moment before heading to the bathroom for a shower.
After his shower, he made himself a mug of warm milk, then returned to his bedroom to begin his "work."
First, Lin Shen listed out the tasks from all his hacked apps, so he could look for chances to complete them.
Sports Health: Bench press a barbell matching his body weight.
GoGo Maps: Check in at a high-end residential complex.
Camera and Album: Film a vlog on the theme of "Young Love."
Shuaiyang: Gain ten thousand followers and publish a post.
âThey all look pretty simple...â
Staring at the four tasks in his phoneâs notes, Lin Shen was lost in thought.
Just then, a message came in from Jiang Wan.
[Jiang Wan: How about Starbucks? Iâll send the address in a bit. Itâs not the one near our campus.]
[Lin Shen: No problem. Do they like pets?]
[Jiang Wan: Of course they do! They all have cats and dogs. Otherwise, I wouldnât have roped them into helping you with promotions, right?]
[Lin Shen: That works, then. Thanks for taking care of this, Senior.]
[Jiang Wan: Junior Lin Shen, remember what I told you? YOU! ARE! NOT! ALLOWED! TO! BE! SO! FORMAL!]
[Jiang Wan: Angry kitten.jpg]
[Lin Shen: Sorry, force of habit.]
[Jiang Wan: I know youâre a very polite, good boy. And since youâre being so well-behaved, I can ask you for a little favor, right?]
[Lin Shen: Go ahead, Senior.]
Lin Shen waited for a moment, and then Jiang Wan sent a document.
He opened it and saw that it was a script for a short scene!
It outlined a sweet love story between a man and a woman, following them from high school all the way to adulthood.
Female Lead (special appearance): Jiang Wan.
Male Lead (special appearance): Lin Shen.
[Jiang Wan: The script is all written! As my male lead, Iâm really looking forward to the day we get to act together~]
