Chapter 215: Chapter 150: Playing Hard to Get

Although what they were doing was dull, as long as she was with Lin Shen, Qin Yuenan felt enveloped by bliss, even if they were just spacing out in silence.

’Maybe this is what being in love is all about...’

At 8:00 p.m., the two of them left Qushui Lanting.

The bill came to over eight thousand. While not cheap, to Lin Shen, it was a surprisingly low price.

"So, did you like it?"

Lin Shen, sitting in the driver’s seat, asked Qin Yuenan beside him. He smiled when she nodded in agreement.

"You can bring that best friend of yours next time."

"She only goes to the Bulgari Hotel. She’d look down on a place like this."

?

’Damn!’

’Now that’s a real rich girl!’

Seeing the slightly awkward look on Lin Shen’s face, Qin Yuenan immediately softened her tone.

"I really liked the place you chose. The service was great. I’ll treat you next time."

"It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it."

Lin Shen chuckled and patted Qin Yuenan’s beautiful, stocking-clad leg. He didn’t pull his hand away, but instead began to gently stroke it back and forth, savoring the smooth, delicate texture of the silk.

’Feels nice!’

’Expensive stockings really do feel better.’

’It’s a shame they’re going to be battle-damaged by the end of the night...’

Lin Shen mused to himself.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuenan lowered her gaze. Aware of his touch, she said nothing, tacitly permitting his "harassment."

She even tilted her stocking-clad legs, still pressed together, toward the driver’s seat, feigning indifference as she scrolled through her phone.

’Clever girl.’

The corner of Lin Shen’s mouth quirked up. Seeing his cool and elegant beauty so "permissive," he seemed to grow bolder.

Of course, Qin Yuenan only appeared calm and composed on the surface. Inwardly, she was already restless with anticipation.

’Because what she was most looking forward to was about to happen!’

Qin Yuenan felt her heart pounding in her chest. Though she and Lin Shen exchanged few words in the car, the atmosphere grew increasingly amorous.

「Twenty minutes later.」

「Jiayu Pavilion, underground parking garage.」

"Hey, mind if I come up to use your bathroom?"

Lin Shen asked with a grin after getting Qin Yuenan home safely, earning himself a sharp eye-roll.

’After everything we’ve been through, you’re still using such a lame excuse?’

’If you’d just asked to come up and hang out, did you think I’d actually kick you out?’

"Come on."

Seeing his cheeky grin, Qin Yuenan knew he was being deliberately provocative, so she played along, her voice cold.

"Leave as soon as you’re done."

"Okay."

After getting out of the car, Lin Shen deliberately hung back about two feet behind Qin Yuenan, his eyes raking over her form.

Her tall, graceful figure, paired with long, stocking-clad legs and Valentino high heels.

The sharp CLICK-CLACK-CLICK of her stilettos was especially crisp in the empty underground garage, each step seemingly landing right on Lin Shen’s heart and making his blood surge.

’So damn alluring!’

’Just the sight of that sexy, elegant figure from behind would probably be enough to make any guy fall for her.’

A surge of heat rushed through Lin Shen at the thought of getting to profane this ice queen whom others could only admire from afar.

?

Apparently sensing his scorching gaze from behind, Qin Yuenan’s cheeks flushed. She glanced back to glare at Lin Shen, then stopped to wait for him to catch up and take his arm.

"Weren’t you in a hurry to use the bathroom? What are you walking so slowly for?"

"Looking at a beauty."

With a roguish grin, Lin Shen wrapped an arm around Qin Yuenan’s slender waist and held her as they entered the elevator, riding it up to the 16th floor of Building 5.

DING—!

As the door to Apartment 1602 opened via facial recognition, Qin Yuenan’s heart was already pounding to its absolute limit.

It wasn’t from worry or apprehension, but from sheer anticipation and excitement.

Lin Shen, however, acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He skillfully found his pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, put them on, and headed for the bathroom as if he were in his own home.

’Did he really just come up to use the bathroom?’

Qin Yuenan blinked, stunned.

’She thought he was joking. Did he really have to go?’

The corners of Qin Yuenan’s lips curled up. Still in her Valentinos, she walked to the kitchen to pour some tea.

When she emerged with a glass of water, she saw that Lin Shen had already come out of the bathroom.

He was standing by the door, waving goodbye.

"Well, I’m heading out. See you, Nan."

"Huh?"

Qin Yuenan froze. She quickly set the glass on the table, rushed over, and grabbed the hem of Lin Shen’s shirt.

"You’re leaving?"

"Yep."

Lin Shen smiled.

"But Nan, you’re the one who told me to leave as soon as I was done!"

"You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? I’ve never seen you be this obedient before!"

Now Qin Yuenan was getting angry, her expression instantly turning cold.

"Lin Shen! You had me wear black stockings and Valentino heels for our date, and now you’re just going to leave without doing anything?"

"Then what would you like me to do?"

Lin Shen asked with a wide grin, only for an infuriated Qin Yuenan to start pushing him out the door.

"Fine, then go! Get out! And you’d better never come back! I hate you!"

"In that case, I’m not leaving."

The same Lin Shen who had been insisting on leaving moments ago was suddenly in no hurry.

He spun around, wrapped his arms around Qin Yuenan, and pinned her against the wall of the entryway. After casually shutting the door, he grinned roguishly.

"Nan, you have to tell me what you really want. Otherwise, how am I supposed to know?"

Tonight, Lin Shen planned to use a bit of push-and-pull to properly train Qin Yuenan, to teach this proud, aloof ice queen to stop being so stubborn with her words.

After all, it had been nearly a week since he and Qin Yuenan had been properly intimate, so of course, he had to give her some extra attention.

Of course, he wasn’t letting his own mouth stay idle. He lowered his head and decisively captured the ice queen’s soft, slightly parted red lips, forcing the words she was about to say back down her throat.
