Chapter 429: Chapter 211: Ferrari SF90
Still, he managed to restrain the urge.
"Do you have any here? I was in a rush when I came over."
"I do, itâs just that..."
Seeing Qin Yuenan avert her gaze, Lin Shen couldnât help but raise an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
"Itâs nothing. Theyâre in the drawer. You can get them yourself."
?
Seeing Lin Shenâs surprised look, Qin Yuenan blushed and quickly tried to explain herself.
"Itâs not like I bought them on purpose! They were a free gift from a store when I bought some clothes."
"From when you bought that cute set of lingerie?"
"Mhm."
After Qin Yuenan nodded shyly, a mischievous smile tugged at the corner of Lin Shenâs mouth.
"Perfect. Weâll have to try it out tonight and see how it differs from a regular one."

Midnight.
[Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received a deposit of 260,000 yuan on September 17 at 12:01 AM. Current balance: 27,250,000.]
Jiayu Pavilion, Building 5, Apartment 1602.
The bathroom was filled with hazy, dense steam. Through the mist, two figures could be dimly seen soaking in a tub full of warm water.
Lin Shen leaned back against the edge of the tub, arms braced on either side. His back ached slightly from the pressure.
That was because Qin Yuenan was sitting in front of him.
She hugged her long legs to her chest, her lovely back resting against Lin Shenâs firm torso. The back of her head, hair wrapped in a towel, was nestled on his shoulder. Her beautiful eyes were half-lidded as she stared at the ceiling, her expression still somewhat dazed.
"Are you okay?"
Feeling Qin Yuenanâs delicate body go limp in his embrace, Lin Shen hugged her tightly from behind and teased her.
Lin Shen seemed to love teasing her, because when he saw her lovely face flush, he continued with a grin.
"Shut up!"
Qin Yuenan scooped up some water and splashed it backward, turning her head to glare fiercely at Lin Shen.
"My voice sounds perfectly normal, thank you very much!"
"In that case, Iâll have to record it for you next time."
Lin Shen chuckled, leaning close to Qin Yuenanâs ear to whisper more sweet nothings.
"You sound like a purring kitten. It makes my heart flutter."
"Hmphâ!"
Though she looked scornful, inside Qin Yuenan was incredibly shy, and she felt a sliver of sweet, secret joy.
âAnyway, as long as Lin Shen likes me, thatâs all that matters.â
"Oh, right. I ordered a batch of Apple laptops for the office. Can you sign for them when they arrive?"
Lin Shen cherished these moments, just holding Qin Yuenan and letting his mind wander. It allowed him to relax and talk to her about anything, even asking for her help with problems at work.
"Also, do you know any good lawyers? Iâm thinking of setting up a legal department."
"Outsource it for now," Qin Yuenan said softly. "Thereâs no rush. Wait until the company gets bigger; besides, itâs not like youâre going to get tangled up in any lawsuits right now.
What you should be doing is capitalizing on the recent hype. Find someone to start livestreaming and selling pet food. You need to ride this wave."
"Donât worry, Iâve already taken care of it," Lin Shen said with a soft laugh.
"Iâve already got someone producing the pet food, and the livestreaming schedule is all set. Weâll do it at the first store and see how much we can sell."
"Thatâs good."
After enjoying the warmth of their embrace for a while longer, Qin Yuenan suddenly stood up, sending water spilling over the edge of the tub with a loud SPLASH.
She lifted one of her long, slender legs over the side and stepped barefoot onto the tile floor. Then, she opened her arms to Lin Shen and said in a sultry voice,
"Iâm done soaking. I want to go to sleep. Carry me to bed."
"Donât you have legs?"
"My legs are weak. I canât walk. And you know why."
"Fine."
Lin Shen found he couldnât argue with that. He stood up, grabbed a couple of towels to dry them both off, and then carried her to the master bedroom.
First, he changed the sheets. Next, he tied up the trash bag to keep any odors from spreading. Finally, he gathered the clothes scattered on the floor.
With all that done, Lin Shen could finally lie down in bed, hold Qin Yuenanâs soft body, and drift off to sleep...

Thursday, September 17, 2025.
75-93°F, Sunny. Light southeasterly breeze, 30% humidity.
Anxi Garden, Building 5, Apartment 1203.
Bright morning sunlight filtered through the thin, white gauze curtains, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the clean, pale-white tile floor.
At 7:00 AM, the sound of an alarm filled the room, and Lin Ping got out of bed right on schedule.
It was her tenth day in the new apartment, and for the most part, she had already adapted to her new life here.
Being on a high floor, there were no sounds of elderly neighbors doing their early morning exercises, so she could sleep soundly.
If she had to get up to use the bathroom at night, she no longer had to worry about running into a cockroach or some other startling pest.
Lin Ping felt her life was so much better now.
And it was all thanks to Lin Shen.
A warmth spread through Lin Pingâs chest. While making her bed, she immediately opened her phone to check for messages from Lin Shen.
[Lin Shen: Two things for today. First, the initial shipment of pet food should be arriving soon. Make sure you sign for it and start phasing out the other brands in the store. Second, find a smooth-talking employee to host a livestream sale. Letâs see how that goes. Iâll give them a raise and a performance bonus.]
[Lin Shen: Also, send me the address and room number for the hotel tonight. Iâll head straight there.]
[Lin Ping: Address]
[Lin Ping: Room number is 807.]
[Lin Shen: Home Inn?]
[Lin Ping: Yes, President Lin. This is the exact place where I caught my ex-husband cheating. I wasnât sure if youâd be comfortable with this kind of hotel. I can book a nicer one if youâd like.]
[Lin Shen: No, this oneâs fine. Just remember to wear something pretty.]
Reading his words, Lin Ping couldnât help but blush. After replying with a simple "Okay," she went to her closet and picked out an outfit for the day.
However, she also packed another outfit in her bagâa surprise for Lin Shen later that night.
With that done, Lin Ping finished making the bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then tied on an apron to make breakfast.
