Chapter 527 - 253: "You Smell of Her Perfume
Chapter 527: Chapter 253: "You Smell of Her Perfume
Qin Yuenan’s beautiful eyes, which had just been filled with affection, instantly turned cold.
"You never wear perfume."
"Well..."
Lin Shen scratched his cheek. He really hadn’t expected Qin Yuenan’s sense of smell to be so sharp!
He couldn’t even smell anything on himself.
After a moment of careful thought, Lin Shen sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Qin Yuenan into a tight embrace, facing her. He stroked her back through her clothes, feeling the sexy curve of her waist and hips, and spoke softly.
"Are you going to blame me?"
"When have I ever blamed you?"
Qin Yuenan wrapped her arms around Lin Shen’s neck. Because of the way they were embracing, she could finally look down into his deep eyes.
In them, she saw a mix of self-reproach and apology.
Qin Yuenan’s resolve wavered.
To be honest, she wasn’t actually angry at all. She didn’t even have any intention of blaming Lin Shen.
She was just being hard on herself—what you might call being difficult or contrary by nature.
She knew Lin Shen was a player, a scumbag who had ambiguous relationships with many women.
But she had already convinced herself that she had to understand and forgive him.
’You’re the one who picked him, after all.’
But every time she found out Lin Shen had gone on a date with another woman, her heart would feel heavy, and she’d even get frustrated.
She hated this side of herself.
She already knew what kind of person Lin Shen was, yet she just couldn’t bring herself to brush it off lightly at times like these.
’Isn’t this just me being difficult?’
Feeling Lin Shen’s loving caress on her waist and hips, Qin Yuenan frowned, her lips forming a slight pout. She looked thoroughly displeased and wronged.
"What I care about is that you didn’t tell me beforehand that you were leaving."
"Because I was afraid you’d get angry."
"So you think I wouldn’t get angry if you didn’t tell me?"
Qin Yuenan rolled her eyes at Lin Shen, then pinched his cheek hard, just like he had pinched hers earlier. Though it looked intimidating, she wasn’t using any force at all.
"If this happens again, you have to tell me, you hear? I worry about you."
"Worry about what?"
"I worry you’ll get tricked by someone."
Huh?
Seeing Qin Yuenan’s dead-serious expression, which didn’t look like she was joking at all, Lin Shen was stunned for a moment before he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Nan, I’m twenty-five, and I’m a guy. How could the situation you’re imagining possibly happen?"
"Who says it can’t?"
Qin Yuenan slowly recounted a story she had read online, then stressed with a reminder:
"Guys need to protect themselves when they’re out and about, too!"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Shen dotingly touched his nose to Qin Yuenan’s, then teased her.
"Nan, I feel like you’re becoming more and more like my mom. When you come home with me for the National Day holiday, you two will definitely hit it off."
"Hmph."
Qin Yuenan snorted softly. As if remembering something, she struggled to get out of Lin Shen’s arms. But he flipped her over, and they both tumbled onto the soft, large bed. His deep, magnetic voice was filled with a teasing laugh.
"What? Trying to run away before we’ve taken care of business?"
"I have something to do! Let me go!"
"Whatever it is can wait. Right now, it’s time for business."
"You’re so annoying!"
Qin Yuenan scowled and snapped coquettishly, but in the next second, Lin Shen sealed her lips with his. Her eyes, originally cold and full of resentment, gradually softened and narrowed, becoming covered by a glistening, misty sheen.
As things started to heat up, her hands, which had been lying flat on the bed, moved to actively cling to Lin Shen’s neck. She lovingly stroked the back of his head, following his mouth as it traveled down from her own neck, kissing every spot it touched.
Soon, items of clothing were tossed from the bed onto the stool beside it.
All that was left on Qin Yuenan were the black stockings enveloping her long, beautiful legs, and the high heels on her feet.
Realizing things were moving in a direction she couldn’t control, Qin Yuenan decided to seize the initiative. She slipped out of Lin Shen’s embrace like a slippery loach and pushed him down.
She went from passive to active, bracing her hands on Lin Shen’s muscular chest and looking down at him with the commanding presence of a queen.
"Did you sleep with Aunt Shen’s best friend? You still haven’t explained that!"
"I didn’t."
Lin Shen chuckled.
"I never even met her. How could I have?"
"Then where did that perfume scent on you come from?"
"That was Aunt Shen’s."
Aunt Shen?
Qin Yuenan’s expression froze for a second. Then her eyes narrowed, as if everything was falling into place.
’So that’s how it is!’
’Lin Shen really is having an affair with Aunt Shen!’
’I knew it. A wealthy, mature forty-year-old woman with a successful business of her own—why would she unconditionally become a supplier for a new company?’
’Isn’t that just asking to lose money?’
’Therefore, Lin Shen must have made some kind of shady deal with her, and that’s why she agreed to become Shennan’s pet food contract manufacturer.’
’As for what kind of deal, that’s obvious.’
’What’s the one thing that would attract Shen Yun the most right now?’
’It’s obviously Lin Shen, a handsome, well-built twenty-five-year-old man!’
"Hmph. So that’s how it is."
Qin Yuenan’s eyes were filled with thick jealousy and displeasure. She leaned down and bit Lin Shen’s shoulder hard, leaving two distinct white teeth marks.
Fortunately, she’d held back. Otherwise, the marks wouldn’t have been white, but red.
"I very, very, very, very, very... hate you right now!"
Qin Yuenan didn’t know how many times she repeated the word "very," but it was a lot.
She was never good at expressing her inner feelings, nor did she know how to voice her resentment. All she could do was use this emphatic tone to make her stance clear to Lin Shen.
What she didn’t know, however, was that in a man’s eyes, this kind of repetitive emphasis was no different from pouting coquettishly.
Lin Shen gazed at Qin Yuenan’s cold, angry face, the corners of his mouth turning up uncontrollably. The love and affection in his heart felt like it was about to overflow.
’I never knew Nan had such a cute side!’
’What a great contrast!’
’I love a good contrast!’
"So, can you not hate me?"
Lin Shen gently stroked Qin Yuenan’s hair, playing along with her.
"If you hate me, I’ll be very sad."
"That’s not my problem."
Qin Yuenan snorted coldly, then buried her face in his chest and mumbled quietly.
"Have you and Aunt Shen had this kind of relationship for a long time?"
"I guess so."
Since the cat was out of the bag, Lin Shen didn’t hide it anymore and admitted it frankly.
"Aunt Shen fell for me at first sight. I thought she could provide a lot of help to our company, Shennan, on the supply chain side, so I took the initiative to get closer to her."
"Contract manufacturers are hard to find these days, especially in the pet industry. I felt I couldn’t miss this opportunity."
"The result is what you see now. Aunt Shen and I have a great relationship. She trusts me a lot, which is why she modified the production line for pet food free of charge."
"Then... were you wronged in any way?"
Qin Yuenan asked worriedly.
In her mind, Lin Shen must have had to satisfy Shen Yun’s demands for her to agree to become their pet food manufacturer.
Things like some strange little fetishes.
But the reality was that Lin Shen had conquered this forty-year-old mature woman with his own powerful abilities, making her willing to help him of her own accord.
But Qin Yuenan didn’t know this. She was still worried that Lin Shen had been forced to compromise his principles.
He, in turn, seemed to understand what she was thinking and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Of course not! Aunt Shen and I have a great time together! Why would you think that?"
"Because you were the one asking for her help, weren’t you?"
Seeing Qin Yuenan’s confused expression, Lin Shen gave a sly laugh, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"I wasn’t asking for her help. We were both just getting what we wanted."
’This cold, queenly beauty is still too naive after all!’
To ease Qin Yuenan’s worries, Lin Shen smiled and described his relationship with Shen Yun to her in detail.
This left her completely stunned, her expression one of utter shock.
’So that’s the kind of feelings Aunt Shen has for Lin Shen?!’
