Chapter 20: Spring Dreams in Summer
Jiayuting.
As one of the high-end residential complexes in Shanghai, the overall architectural style referenced French neoclassicism.
After perfectly integrating with modern technology, it appeared particularly luxurious.
This was Lin Shen’s first time driving to such a prosperous area, so he was a bit nervous.
Fortunately, the security guard was very friendly, not only not asking too many questions but even greeting Qin Yuenan in the passenger seat warmly.
“Hello President Qin! Take care of your health, don’t drink too much.”
“Mm.”
Qin Yuenan nodded. After Lin Shen drove into the complex, she directed him into the underground parking garage.
“That security guard probably thinks I’m a designated driver, right?”
Lin Shen only realized this after parking the car, making Qin Yuenan, who usually showed little expression, smile slightly.
“Even if you took off the designated driver vest, they’d still recognize you.”
“Looks like Sister Nan’s foot is almost better, you’re even in the mood to joke.”
Lin Shen originally wanted to continue carrying Qin Yuenan home, but she insisted on walking by herself.
Left with no choice, he could only support her as they took the elevator to Unit 5, Room 1602.
As soon as he entered, Lin Shen was amazed by the clean and tidy house before him.
The black and white decor was refined and elegant, simple yet grand.
Although it was only two bedrooms and two living rooms, the space was extremely spacious. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony offered a panoramic view of the rows of high-rise buildings.
“How much does this cost?”
Lin Shen couldn’t help but exclaim, while Qin Yuenan hopped on one foot to pour him a glass of warm water.
“Monthly rent is thirty thousand, buying would be ninety thousand per square meter now.”
“So you paid in full…”
“It’s rented.”
Before Lin Shen could finish asking, Qin Yuenan quickly answered.
“The environment here is good, close to the company, and the property management service is excellent.”
“Rich lady.”
Lin Shen calculated that with his daily income of four thousand, moving here to be Qin Yuenan’s neighbor wasn’t impossible.
But it wasn’t time yet.
“Take this with you.”
Qin Yuenan brought out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen, casually putting it in a plastic bag before forcefully stuffing it into Lin Shen’s hands.
“Someone gave it to me, I don’t drink.”
“This bottle looks very expensive…”
Lin Shen glanced at the red wine brand and was immediately shocked.
Le Pin?!
Originating from the Pomerol region on the right bank of Bordeaux, France, it was one of the world’s most famous wineries.
And its wine was also the originator of garage wine, absolutely the king of red wines!
This bottle in Lin Shen’s hands was worth at least twenty thousand!
“It’s too valuable.”
Lin Shen was about to refuse when Qin Yuenan stared at him coldly.
“If I tell you to take it, just take it.”
“Alright.”
Lin Shen didn’t refuse further, accepting the red wine. Before leaving, he made a phone gesture by his ear.
“Sister Nan, contact me if anything comes up.”
“Mm.”
After watching Lin Shen leave, Qin Yuenan inexplicably let out a soft sigh of relief, and her previously pounding heart gradually calmed down.
She sat on the sofa to rest for a moment, then stripped off all her clothes and walked into the bathroom to shower.
Splash—!
Qin Yuenan closed her eyes and tilted her head back, letting the warm water flow over her entire body except for her left hand, her thoughts already drifting.
She recalled all the moments with Lin Shen today, especially the last section where he carried her down the mountain, which she found infinitely nostalgic.
Slap—!
Qin Yuenan slapped her own cheek, instantly clearing her somewhat dizzy head.
She turned off the shower, opened the door, and walked out of the steamy mist.
After drying the water from her body with a towel, Qin Yuenan casually wrapped herself in a bathrobe and went to the kitchen.
Opening the refrigerator, she took out a bottle of unfinished red wine, filled a wine glass halfway, and carried it to the living room.
While sipping wine, Qin Yuenan sprayed Yunnan Baiyao on her ankle according to the doctor’s instructions.
The cold stimulation made most of the swelling subside.
Qin Yuenan stared blankly, then came to her senses and rubbed her aching temples.
She was really tired, why did she keep thinking about Lin Shen?
Qin Yuenan took out her laptop from the bedroom, planning to work on this week’s tasks to keep herself busy.
Because once she was idle, she would involuntarily think about Lin Shen.
She really did have a problem!
A few minutes later, Qin Yuenan irritably closed her laptop, drained her wine glass, got up and went to the refrigerator, planning to drink another half glass to help her sleep.
It’s the weekend tomorrow anyway, whatever!
Sleep!
“What time is it?”
In the dim forest, Qin Yuenan felt like Lin Shen had been carrying her for a long time, but they still couldn’t find the way down the mountain.
This made her suddenly panic.
“Should we call the police?”
“My phone’s dead.”
After being put down by Lin Shen, Qin Yuenan blamed herself.
“I’m sorry, if it weren’t for me…”
“What’s the use of just saying sorry?”
Lin Shen suddenly scolded coldly, making Qin Yuenan’s heart tremble.
The next second, she felt herself enveloped by warmth, the dark shadow in front of her gradually enlarged, and her lips were fiercely seized.
!?
Qin Yuenan’s mind went blank. She pushed Lin Shen away hard and angrily said.
“Are you crazy? We’re in the middle of nowhere, what do you want to do?”
“Do what you want to do.”
Lin Shen chuckled lightly, confusing Qin Yuenan.
What I want to do?
Before Qin Yuenan could react, Lin Shen lifted her up and pinned her against a thick tree trunk, cupping her face and continuing to kiss her boldly.
This rough and forceful behavior stirred up her inner resistance.
However, faced with the disparity in strength between men and women, her struggles were futile.
Moreover, Lin Shen’s kissing technique was extremely skilled. As he kissed her, Qin Yuenan felt herself surrounded by intense masculine hormones.
That reassuring warmth made her head slightly dizzy, her consciousness gradually falling into a dreamy haze between sleep and waking.
Her whole body was hot, her legs weak, and a fire with nowhere to vent accumulated in her chest.
Finally, Qin Yuenan succumbed to the gentle paradise Lin Shen created, actively wrapping her arms around his neck, standing on tiptoe, offering her lips for him to taste.
This burning feeling… I love it so much!
The outdoor thrill made Qin Yuenan’s heart race, then she noticed Lin Shen’s hands roaming over her body, even boldly helping her remove her clothes.
Finally grabbing her and turning her around, making her brace against the tree trunk, then…
Wait!
2:30 AM, Qin Yuenan suddenly opened her eyes in bed.
She was breathing heavily, the gentle 25° air conditioning breeze blowing on her sweat-covered cheeks.
A dream?
That was just a dream?
Qin Yuenan sat up, covering her face with both hands. Not only did her emotions not calm down, but she gradually became frantic.
Am I sick?
I actually dreamed about doing that with Lin Shen?
And it was outdoors in the wilderness?!
Qin Yuenan turned on the night light, picked up the water glass on the nightstand and drained it.
Gulp!
When the coolness flowed down her throat to her stomach, she couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief, and her restless mood finally calmed down.
“Phew—!”
Qin Yuenan was about to get out of bed to get another glass of water from the kitchen.
But just as she turned to the side, she suddenly realized something, then abruptly threw off the covers.
“…”
After being stunned for a moment, Qin Yuenan’s face visibly reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye, biting her lip.
Lin Shen!
I hate you!!
