Chapter 286: Chapter 170: Factory Tour
Lin Shenâs hot-and-cold, ambiguous attitude was driving Shen Yun crazy. She desperately wanted to tear his clothes off right there in the car and feel that strapping, testosterone-filled body she had missed for so long.
In the end, however, she restrained herself. She shot Lin Shen a look that was equal parts seductive and reproachful, her tone exceptionally plaintive.
"You little rascal! All you do is tease me... Where do you want to eat?"
"Since weâre already out here, letâs not head back to Modu. We can just go into the city. What do you think, Aunt Shen?"
The corners of Lin Shenâs mouth curled up, delighting Shen Yun. She agreed with a radiant smile.
"Great! As it happens, I know a fantastic Western restaurant in the city. How about we try it?"
"Okay."
Lin Shen drove out of the factory complex and followed the GPS toward the city center. It wasnât long before they reached their destination.
Goldshire Steak Bar.
A steakhouse designed in a traditional American architectural style.
Its exterior was primarily brick and stone, complemented by wooden accents that gave it a stately, impressive appearance.
The sign hung high above the entrance, its black-and-gold color scheme elevating the restaurantâs luxurious style.
The interior was dominated by warm tones. Brown wooden tables and chairs, paired with gold trim, created a lavish yet comfortable dining atmosphere.
Just as Lin Shen stepped through the door with Shen Yun on his arm, a server approached them with a smile.
"Good evening, sir and maâam. A table for two?"
"Yes."
Lin Shen asked,
"Do you have any quiet, private rooms available?"
"We do, sir, but the private rooms are subject to a ten-percent service charge, and coupons cannot be used. Would that be acceptable?"
"Thatâs fine."
Lin Shen said with a casual wave.
âEver since he got the system, he hadnât used a single coupon. He didnât even use them when ordering takeout anymore; he just placed the order directly.â
Lin Shen and Shen Yun were led to the private room, and they found the ambiance to be quite pleasant.
The black sofa was soft and comfortable, and the sheer white curtains by the window provided ample privacy while also creating a uniquely romantic atmosphere.
It was the perfect spot for a date.
After taking a seat, Lin Shen teased Shen Yun.
"Aunt Shen, this is a couplesâ restaurant, isnât it?"
"What? You donât want to come to a couplesâ restaurant with me?"
Shen Yun sat across from Lin Shen. After setting down her purse, she propped an elbow on the table, rested her cheek in her right hand, and spoke with a radiant smile.
"Donât forget, the first time you and I had dinner, it was at a couplesâ restaurant, too."
"Of course I remember."
Lin Shen called the server over, crossed his legs, and began to order with an air of elegance.
âHe noticed the prices here were about thirty percent cheaper than at similar restaurants in Modu,â he thought, âbut I wonder if the quality is any good.â
"Letâs start with a salad for an appetizer. For the main course, Iâll have the charcoal-grilled Angus beef and an order of the fruitwood slow-roasted pork back ribs... Aunt Shen, what would you like?"
"You."
The curve of her red lips was exceptionally alluring, and the tenderness in her enchanting eyes looked as if it could melt Lin Shen completely.
The sight made him feel a phantom ache in his lower back, and he quickly cleared his throat with a few soft coughs.
"Thatâll be all, then."
"Oh, and one more thing."
As Lin Shen handed the menu back to the server, Shen Yun smiled at the woman.
"Do you still have any Song of Angels?"
"We only have one bottle of the â18 left."
"Thatâs the one. Please have it decanted and brought up."
"Of course, maâam."
After the server left, Lin Shen reminded her,
"Aunt Shen, I still have to drive."
"Weâll just get a driver."
Shen Yun gave Lin Shen a pouty, reproachful look, exuding the air of a younger woman trying to coax her way.
"I havenât been in the best of moods lately. Whatâs wrong with having a drink with me?"
"Under any other circumstances, Aunt Shen, Iâd gladly drink with you until we couldnât stand."
Lin Shen gave a helpless smile.
"But we have to drive back to Modu later. Itâs a long way. Wouldnât it be hard to get a driver for that distance?"
"Why would we go back to Modu?"
Shen Yun gave a seductive smile and lightly licked her full lips. Under the table, the top of her foot began to rub against Lin Shenâs calf. Her hazy, distant gaze was utterly bewitching.
"After this, we can just find a hotel for the night. Weâll head back to Modu in the morning."
