Chapter 63: Lingering Aftertaste
“Mmph!”
Qin Yuenan suddenly pushed Lin Shen back against the sofa, crossed her arms over her chest as she stood up, her expression a mixture of shame and anger, even somewhat gritting her teeth.
“Lin Shen! Are you drunk!?”
“Yeah.”
Lin Shen nodded honestly, his sincere appearance leaving Qin Yuenan stunned and unable to argue.
Right!
Lin Shen really had drunk too much today.
But no matter what, you can’t be so presumptuous!
Letting you kiss was already enough, but you still wanted to push your luck?
“I’m leaving.”
After coldly leaving those words, Qin Yuenan grabbed her purse and immediately fled the living room.
Lin Shen didn’t chase after her, just smiled and called out while waving.
“Sister Nan, drive safely!”
Because Lin Shen knew that Qin Yuenan wasn’t really angry.
Her evasive, darting glances as she left proved this conclusion.
Sister Nan really does like me!
Through this kissing experiment, Lin Shen might not be one hundred percent certain, but he was pretty confident that Qin Yuenan did indeed harbor some inexplicable feelings for him.
After all, women wouldn’t maintain eye contact for so long with a man they disliked, let alone agree to let him kiss them.
“Nice!”
Just thinking that the usually cool and aloof ice queen beauty might actually like him made Lin Shen’s heart soar with joy.
But what followed was a troubling worry.
What should he do now?
Honestly, Lin Shen had already decided to be a scumbag who neither pursued nor refused.
But most women wouldn’t want to get involved with that type of person, right?
However, he had good reasons for being a scumbag—after all, he’d been deeply hurt once before.
Lin Shen lay back on the sofa, covering his eyes with his arm, feeling that the hazy drunkenness in his mind had been largely dispelled by the current troubling situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Yuenan was also lying back in the driver’s seat, the heat in her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
She unconsciously touched her lips, as if still savoring the wonderful moment of kissing Lin Shen.
It was a marvelous feeling she had never experienced before.
Passionate and restless.
Qin Yuenan didn’t dislike this feeling—in fact, she found it exceptionally delightful.
“I really have fallen for Lin Shen.”
Qin Yuenan sighed softly, her emotions extremely complex.
She truly hadn’t expected that her feelings, dormant for twenty-eight years, would be conquered in less than a month.
And by her former subordinate, no less!
Did Lin Shen possess some special magic?
After thinking about it, Qin Yuenan could only confirm one thing: she liked men who were positive, healthy, and had lasting endurance and determination.
And Lin Shen, who had lost weight in such a short time, perfectly matched her preferences.
Combined with his appearance, personality, and talent, perhaps it was only natural that she would fall for him?
Qin Yuenan’s lips curved into a slight smile. She patted her face to clear her head a bit, then stepped hard on the gas and drove away from the complex.
The first kiss felt pretty good.
It’s just… wasn’t Lin Shen’s kissing technique a bit too skilled?
Although her mind had been blank at the time, Qin Yuenan had vague, hazy memories of being guided along during their kiss.
This made the usually strong-willed her feel quite embarrassed and frustrated.
Lin Shen must have kissed his ex-girlfriend many times!
Even Qin Yuenan found her own strange mixture of emotions ridiculous.
She took a deep breath to adjust her mood and gradually calmed down.
Rather than overthinking, it was better not to think at all.
Qin Yuenan drove home, and while changing into slippers at the entrance, she stared somewhat absently at her long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings.
This was her first time wearing stockings. The comfort and breathability were indeed good, and they sculpted her leg lines beautifully.
But the only downside was that too many people stared!
Qin Yuenan felt that as soon as she got out of the car, countless gazes would lock onto her legs.
Especially at Old Wei’s barbecue restaurant!
This made Qin Yuenan incredibly annoyed.
She hated having people stare at her constantly, like she was some pretty object on display.
Of course, Lin Shen was an exception.
Recalling how her stocking-clad legs had earned his praise and approval, even attracting him to boldly caress them, Qin Yuenan’s terrible mood lightened considerably.
Although Lin Shen’s behavior was pretty inappropriate, it also revealed his preferences.
Besides, what man in this day and age wasn’t lustful?
‘I’ll wear them again next time I go out alone with Lin Shen.’
Qin Yuenan thought to herself.
She pulled at the stocking waistband, removing the black stockings from her stretched-out beautiful legs, and walked into the bathroom wearing only her underwear.
After showering, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and sat at the computer desk to organize the reports needed for tomorrow’s meeting.
Usually at times like this, Qin Yuenan would ask Lin Shen, her “assistant,” for help while chatting.
But since he was drunk, she had to handle it herself.
“Phew—!”
Half an hour later, Qin Yuenan clicked the mouse to save the document, closed her laptop, drank a glass of warm milk, turned off the lights, and went to bed.
However.
2:30 AM.
Qin Yuenan suddenly woke from her dream with a start.
As for what kind of dream, she had already had sufficient experience with it before.
This time the location had changed—no longer in the wilderness, but on Lin Shen’s apartment balcony.
“Damn it!”
Qin Yuenan turned on the warm bedside light, covering her forehead as she slowly sat up.
Why was she having this kind of dream again?
And it happened every time after spending intimate time with Lin Shen.
Qin Yuenan was completely puzzled.
If once was a coincidence, then twice definitely meant there was a problem!
“I should find time to ask Ningning about this.”
Qin Yuenan sighed softly, then blushed and cursed Lin Shen several times in her heart.
It was all his fault!
August 11, 2025, Monday.
26°C – 32°C, Sunny.
「China Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received RMB 10,000 on August 11 at 00:01. Current balance: 430,000」
9 AM.
Lin Shen slowly woke up after his drunken sleep, sitting up and holding his forehead as his brain throbbed with pain.
He rubbed his temples and picked up the water glass from the nightstand, draining it in one gulp.
The cool liquid helped clear his consciousness considerably.
“I drank a bit too much last night.”
Lin Shen muttered as he got up, instinctively reaching for his phone from beside his pillow, when he suddenly froze.
[Jaguar Salesman Li: Mr. Lin! Your beloved Jaguar XFL 2025 P300 Four-Wheel Drive Flagship Sport Edition has arrived at the dealership! When would be convenient for you to pick it up?]
The car had arrived?
Lin Shen’s previously drowsy state instantly cleared, and he excitedly replied.
[Lin Shen: I can come today]
[Jaguar Salesman Li: Perfect, Mr. Lin. We’ll prepare the pickup ceremony and paperwork right away. Please bring your driver’s license, ID card, purchase invoice, and other documents when you come.]
[Lin Shen: Okay]
Lin Shen immediately jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He really hadn’t expected his new car to arrive at the dealership in just four days.
That was incredibly fast!
Lin Shen hummed a little tune, and after washing up and grooming himself, he immediately took a taxi to the 4S dealership.
Jaguar, here I come!
