Chapter 355: Chapter 190: Your Boyfriend
This gave her a huge fright. She instantly understood what was happening, and her face flushed red as she slapped Lin Shen on the back, chiding him in embarrassment.
"Are you crazy? Weâre still outside! This isnât how you âmake up the differenceâ!"
"Itâs fine. I own the entire floor, and the office area isnât in use yet. No one will come."
"But there are security cameras!"
"The power and water arenât even connected. How could there be cameras?"
Lin Shen carried Qin Yuenan into the general managerâs office. After setting her down, he locked the door from the inside and gazed with a smile at her flushed face.
"This will be your office from now on. How do you like it?"
"..."
Qin Yuenan bit her lip and looked around. The exquisite office decor managed to distract her from some of her embarrassment.
The space was much more generous than her previous directorâs office.
A reception sofa and coffee table, a desk, a water cooler, printing equipment, green plants... it had everything it should.
The layout was also very rational, simple yet stylish.
"Itâs very nice."
Just after Qin Yuenan voiced her approval, Lin Shen suddenly pressed up against her from behind, wrapping his arms around her stomach and whispering with a soft laugh in her ear.
"So, shouldnât we christen the new office?"
"This isnât how you christen something!"
Qin Yuenan struggled to turn around, her rear pressing against the edge of the desk. She pushed against Lin Shenâs firm chest, annoyed and embarrassed.
"We can talk about this kind of thing at home! Not here!"
"Weâre not doing *that*."
Qin Yuenan froze for a moment, her face instantly flushing scarlet. She wanted to refuse, but she couldnât bring herself to reject this sudden, forceful side of Lin Shen.
âIf I reject him now, maybe heâll never be like this again!â
Qin Yuenan thought it over and over, biting her thin lip in conflict before finally whispering shyly.
"My skirtâs too tight... I canât squat."
"Then weâll find another spot."
Logically speaking, any woman would be angry at such a crude and disrespectful act.
Even a good-tempered one would be no exception, let alone the ever-proud and haughty Qin Yuenan.
ă6 PM.ă
After "half-christening" the new office, Lin Shen quickly pulled Qin Yuenan away from the 14th floor.
Although it was unlikely anyone would come to the newly renovated space, what if someone got curious?
In any case, Lin Shen decided to quit while he was ahead and make a run for it.
This was tough on Qin Yuenan, though.
She wasnât very experienced to begin with, and Lin Shen had just used her.
Of course, you couldnât really blame him. There was a risk of being discovered, so they had to be quick.
During all this, Lin Shen had been wondering if Qin Yuenan would be angry.
As it turned out, his worry was a bit unnecessary.
Although Qin Yuenan was mortified deep down, she actually enjoyed being treated with such a forceful attitude by Lin Shen.
It was as if a switch had been flipped inside her, making her uncharacteristically obedient.
This came as a pleasant surprise to Lin Shen.
âWho knew the cool, aloof beauty had this side to her!â
However, once they got to the underground parking garage, the aftereffects kicked in.
Qin Yuenan rubbed her sore cheeks, glaring daggers at Lin Shen.
"Donât let it happen again!"
"My fault!"
Lin Shen tactfully pressed his palms together, apologizing and admitting his mistake.
"I booked a table at Lameloise for tonight. Want to get dinner together?"
"Hmph."
Qin Yuenan huffed, crossing her arms. She used a small mirror from her purse to fix her appearance. In her heart, she wasnât really angry; in fact, she was quite happy.
Even she felt like a pervert now, thinking back on it.
But Qin Yuenan had read online that the more "perverted" a coupleâs relationship was, the less likely they were to break up.
The two of them, each in their own car, drove away from Huamao Mansion.
Maison Lameloise
As the first China branch of the legendary French three-star Michelin restaurant, it was located on the 68th floor of the Modu Center Mansion.
The atmosphere was exquisite and luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the Modu skyline. The service was also impeccable.
After all, Lin Shen had brought Jiang Wan here once before, and the overall experience had been quite good.
So this time, he planned to bring Qin Yuenan to enjoy a romantic French dinner.
It was just a little troublesome to book a table, especially since the window seats were in high demand.
Fortunately, Lin Shen had the "Ten-Millionaire" effect and successfully snagged a table as a VIP.
"Sir, Maâam, this way please."
Led by the waiter, Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan were seated at a window table, where the dazzling night view of Modu along the river stretched out before them.
The private roomâs interior was simple and elegant, and the privacy was excellent, making it very suitable for a coupleâs date.
"Just serve the set menu we pre-ordered."
Lin Shen couldnât be bothered to order, so he simply told the waiter to go with the restaurantâs pre-arranged dinner set.
This way, the flavors of the dishes would complement each other, making for a better dining experience.
Seeing how practiced Lin Shen was, Qin Yuenan couldnât help but raise an eyebrow.
"Youâve been here before?"
"Mhm."
At this point, Lin Shen didnât intend to hide anything.
After the waiter left, he got up, moved to Qin Yuenanâs side, and sat down with her on the sofa, saying softly.
"I came here before with a senior of mine from university."
"Her name is Jiang Wan, isnât it?"
A strange sense of jealousy crept into Qin Yuenanâs heart, but Lin Shen was quite surprised.
"You remember her name! I thought I only mentioned it to you once. I didnât expect you to remember it so clearly."
"Hmph! You two are so close, how could I not remember?"
Qin Yuenan huffed softly, unable to quite put a finger on her current mood.
She wasnât exactly furious.
After all, she had already mentally prepared herself for this. Plus, the fact that Lin Shen had confessed proactively without lying actually made Qin Yuenan quite happy.
âSincerity is the ultimate secret weapon!â
But there was definitely some resentment. After all, any woman would be jealous to learn that her boyfriend was close with another woman.
Qin Yuenan was no exception.
Even though she was holding back a great deal, she still pouted slightly, her tone full of sourness.
"Did you shoot a micro-film with her a while ago?"
"So you did see it, Nan."
Lin Shen didnât shy away from the topic. In fact, he had long guessed that Qin Yuenan would find out.
After all, Jiang Wanâs video was so popular, it was bound to come out sooner or later.
It was better to confess today. At least he had the 700,000-plus yuan watch as his "get out of jail free card."
So, Lin Shen said with utmost sincerity.
"She asked me to co-star in a micro-film, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to advertise our Shennan Pet Society, so I agreed. I didnât expect it to turn out so well!"
"Half of the hundred thousand followers on our official account came from that video. You could say the marketing was a success."
"You werenât just doing it for the advertisement, were you?"
Qin Yuenan snorted coldly.
"Sheâs so big. I can see you canât seem to forget her."
Huh?
Lin Shen froze, suddenly realizing that Qin Yuenan wasnât upset about his relationship with Jiang Wan, but rather felt that she didnât measure up in comparison?
âSo thatâs what the cool beauty was thinking!â
This left Lin Shen not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The right hand that was hugging Qin Yuenanâs slender waist moved up under her armpit as he said with a cheeky grin.
"Youâre not small either, Nan."
"Donât touch me!"
Qin Yuenan slapped away Lin Shenâs mischievous hand and said sourly.
"Go touch your senior if you want to touch someone. What are you touching me for?"
"I just like it. Thereâs no reason why."
Lin Shen stuck to Qin Yuenan like glue, pestering her. He made her face flush red, but she couldnât shake him off, so she could only give in helplessly.
Although her body was honestly going soft and tingly, her words were still harsh.
"This is a public place! Be careful, or Iâll report you for harassment!"
"In that case, Iâd probably get three years to start, with a maximum sentence of death."
Lin Shen said in a panicked tone, his voice full of pleading.
"Nan, Iâll do anything you want. Please donât report me, okay?"
"Then Iâll ask you a few questions, and you have to answer honestly."
Qin Yuenan stared into Lin Shenâs eyes, a trace of curiosity in her own narrowed, beautiful eyes.
"How far have things gone with you and that senior of yours?"
"Well..."
Seeing Lin Shen stammer and hesitate, Qin Yuenan understood everything. A wave of resentment surged up inside her, making her both angry and anxious.
She was angry because the man she liked most had another woman. Who wouldnât be?
She was anxious because Qin Yuenan couldnât understand why so many women wanted to throw themselves at her boyfriend!
âHeâs a good catch and handsome, but canât you all go mess with someone else?â
âDo you really have to chase after this one handsome guy?â
Qin Yuenan believed that Lin Shen must have told other women about her, but they clearly didnât care.
âThese slutty bitches dare to ignore my existence!â
Qin Yuenan clenched her fists. Then, as if sheâd thought of something, her eyes narrowed. She suddenly brought her red lips to Lin Shenâs ear and asked with a dangerous smile.
"So... is it better with me, or is it better with her?"
