Chapter 359: Chapter 192: Recognizing Each Other

10:00 PM.

Just an hour ago, she’d been talking a big game. She claimed she would be in charge tonight, vowing to leave Lin Shen utterly defeated.

But halfway through, she’d run out of energy. In the end, she was draped over Lin Shen’s body, tracing circles on his well-defined pecs with a finger, panting slightly as she whined coquettishly.

"Y-You did that on purpose, didn’t you!"

"You’re just too weak, Nan."

Lin Shen held her soft body close, kissing her flushed, burning cheeks with a wicked smile.

"Didn’t you say you were going to show me what you’re made of? What happened to that?"

SMACK!

Qin Yuenan lightly smacked Lin Shen’s muscular chest to vent her frustration, while also making an excuse for her "weakness."

"I’m just conserving my energy for tomorrow. Otherwise, I won’t have the strength to go mountain climbing."

"Alright, alright."

Hearing Lin Shen’s gentle, doting voice, Qin Yuenan’s heart was filled with a deep warmth. She felt that wearing her "battle armor" tonight had been a huge mistake.

It hadn’t done much for her, but it had sent Lin Shen’s combat prowess skyrocketing!

’I should have taken things slower.’

Qin Yuenan pouted slightly, looking up into Lin Shen’s eyes as she asked in a serious tone.

"Between me and that senior of yours, who’s better?"

"You’re still hung up on that!"

Lin Shen was genuinely exasperated. This made Qin Yuenan blush and hit his chest again.

"Just tell me!"

"You are, of course,"

Lin Shen said sincerely.

He was telling the truth.

Compared to Jiang Wan, Qin Yuenan exercised and worked out regularly, so her stamina was definitely better.

She could also pull off more "tricks."

"Hmph, hmph!"

Having been praised, Qin Yuenan let out a couple of hums, clearly very satisfied with Lin Shen’s answer.

"That’s more like it."

"Have you rested enough?"

Lin Shen caressed Qin Yuenan’s smooth, delicate back with one hand and squeezed her firm, plump, peach-like bottom with the other, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"If you’re all rested up, how about I take the lead this time?"

"Mmm~"

Qin Yuenan purred like a kitten, rolling off Lin Shen and opening her arms to him, murmuring in a soft, alluring voice.

"Hold me~"

"Not so fast."

Just as he expected, Qin Yuenan wasn’t angry at Lin Shen’s actions at all. In fact, a glint of excitement flashed through her hazy, beautiful eyes.

Of course, no matter how thrilled she was on the inside, she still had to maintain her image on the outside.

So, Qin Yuenan put on an act, feigning annoyance.

"Why are you tying me up? Untie me!"

"I’m afraid that’s not up to you."

Lin Shen pinned Qin Yuenan’s hands to the bedding above her head, leaned down, and captured her stubbornly defiant lips.

She had been quite stubborn, but his kisses had already softened her.

Qin Yuenan’s eyes were hazy and unfocused. Her long, stocking-clad legs wrapped around Lin Shen’s powerful waist, easily tying themselves in a knot behind his back.

’So long!’

’These legs are the real deal!’

Others might struggle and fail to do that, but for the cool and elegant queen, it was effortless.

’Looks like hard work is no match for raw talent.’

Just like Jiang Wan, the girl full of surprises.

An excited smile tugged at the corner of Lin Shen’s mouth.

—

Midnight.

In the master bedroom, with the curtains drawn tight, the once noisy room was gradually quieting down.

Just as the second hand on the clock ticked past the 12, Lin Shen received a text from his bank.

[Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of RMB 240,000 at 00:01 on September 10. Current balance: 13,600,000]

To be honest, Lin Shen was already unfazed by seeing this.

His balance of 13.6 million yuan was a rather awkward figure for him.

It wasn’t enough to buy a villa or a manor.

But Lin Shen already had a large flat, so he didn’t need an ordinary house.

After thinking it over, he decided to wait.

Based on ReceivePal’s reward pattern of alternating between a Cracking Card and a consumable item, the next reward should be an item.

Spending according to the rewards was a surefire win!

Lin Shen’s heart filled with anticipation.

He gently caressed the back of the cool queen in his arms with the back of his hand. Noticing that Qin Yuenan was gradually recovering from her state of high-strung trembling, he leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"How about I carry you to the shower?"

"Mmm."

Qin Yuenan wrapped her arms around Lin Shen’s neck and let him carry her obediently into the bathroom, occasionally looking up to kiss his sharp, chiseled jawline.

SPLASH—!

To conserve energy for the next day’s mountain climbing and marathon challenge, Lin Shen didn’t continue this time.

However, the cool queen seemed like she hadn’t had enough. She teased him in all sorts of ways, all while feigning a look of innocence.

’Heh!’

’Interesting!’

An excited grin spread across Lin Shen’s face. He had no choice but to teach the cool queen another harsh lesson!

Nestled in his arms, Qin Yuenan was bewildered.

"How do you have so much stamina?"

"Lots of running, lots of anaerobic exercise, lots of working out."

Qin Yuenan definitely didn’t believe Lin Shen’s vague explanation.

But with the evidence right in front of her, she had to admit that the gap between them was just too massive.

"So, are you going to get up early tomorrow to go home and pack?"

Qin Yuenan suggested.

"If we leave you half an hour, you’ll have to get up at seven."

"No need."

Lin Shen smiled, pulling Qin Yuenan’s soft body a little tighter.

"I’ll just go home tomorrow to change, then we can head out."

"You’re not going to pack?"

Qin Yuenan tilted her head up to look at her man.

"I’ve seen other people bring a ton of gear for marathons."

"We can just buy it when we get to Dai City,"

Lin Shen chuckled.

"The hotel provides toiletries, and we can buy food, clothes, and anything else we need there. You don’t need to drag a suitcase along for a trip, a backpack is enough."

"..."

Qin Yuenan rolled her eyes, speechless.
