Jiayu Pavilion, Building 5, Apartment 1602.
Bright morning light shone through the sheer white curtains, casting dappled shadows across the soft, light-colored wool blanket.
Qin Yuenan murmured like a cat as she slowly woke up, her eyes meeting Lin Shen’s deep gaze.
His signature wicked smile was still playing on his lips.
"Good morning, Nan."
"..."
Qin Yuenan’s beautiful, hazy eyes gradually focused and widened. As memories of the previous night flooded her mind, a blush crept onto her cheeks.
Her original plan for last night had been to completely drain all of Lin Shen’s energy. Then, she would wake up first this morning and, like a victorious general, cook for him. She’d watch him stumble out of the bedroom, sleepy-eyed, and mock him:
"If you can’t even handle me, don’t even think about going out and finding other women."
But the reality was, she had been the one who was thoroughly exhausted by Lin Shen.
Although, after two months of getting used to each other, she had long since adapted to Lin Shen. Her entire body had been molded into a shape he loved.
Moreover, this kind of activity was an effective cure for the exhaustion from work. Both her Spirit and body felt a release akin to a good, sweaty workout.
Qin Yuenan was even starting to get a little addicted.
It’s just that, generally speaking, this kind of thing was usually rather taxing on the man.
Isn’t that what they all say online? Behind every glamorous, beautiful woman full of Spirit is a boyfriend with dark circles under his eyes and a listless Spirit.
The first part of that description fit Qin Yuenan’s current situation perfectly.
Originally, after a full day of work, she had been mentally and physically exhausted, without a drop of motivation in her body.
But after a night with Lin Shen, it was as if she’d had a meticulous, full-body rejuvenation treatment.
She was full of drive, her Spirit completely restored to its usual peak state. Even the persistent ache in her lower back had started to get better thanks to Lin Shen’s... efforts.
It was a wonderful feeling!
Previously, Qin Yuenan had thought there was something wrong with Zhao Jianing’s theory. ’How could this kind of thing possibly be good for a woman’s physical health and the state of her Spirit?’
’This was clearly a lie made up by men to bewitch women.’
’Now, it seems it’s actually true!’
’As long as you genuinely like each other, it really is very beneficial for the woman.’
’No wonder when some girls go to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, the doctor tells them to find a boyfriend.’
’This method of regulating hormones really does have some use.’
In any case, Qin Yuenan only felt that her legs were a bit stiff; after all, Lin Shen had them propped on his shoulders for a very long time last night.
But the rest of her body felt fine—in fact, it felt even more relaxed.
The only thing was, Lin Shen seemed to feel the same way.
He didn’t have the dark circles or listless Spirit mentioned in the online sayings. On the contrary, he seemed incredibly energized, sitting straight up in bed before getting up to pull open the curtains and open the window for some fresh air.
Lin Shen squinted, standing before the window with his hands on his hips as he exclaimed in admiration.
"What great weather today."
"..."
Qin Yuenan didn’t speak. She just stared intently at Lin Shen’s broad, powerful back, her eyes shimmering with a strange light and an indefinable emotion.
She had always thought an inverted-triangle physique was something you only saw on TV or on professional fitness influencers online.
But she had never expected Lin Shen to have one.
’It probably has a lot to do with his posture.’
His shoulders were thick and broad, the bulging muscles forming the clear outline of a demon back, yet his waist was relatively narrow.
’Of course, narrow as it may be, it’s pure condensed power!’
’It’s hard to imagine how such a narrow waist could explode with that kind of high-intensity... work rate...’
Recalling the many amorous events of the previous night, the blush on Qin Yuenan’s lovely face deepened, and her mind couldn’t help but wander as her gaze drifted down to Lin Shen’s lower body.
’His butt is firm, with the toned look of a good workout.’
’And his thighs are thick, the muscle definition exuding a sense of power. He looks like a regular runner, with their sharp contours.’
Zhao Jianing once said that men with thick thighs were more likely to... hit the jackpot.
’It seems Lin Shen fits her description perfectly.’
Qin Yuenan found herself mesmerized by his back, only snapping out of it when he walked right up to her. She averted her gaze and asked in a small, guilty voice,
"When did you wake up?"
"Around six. Last night was one of my earlier nights."
Lin Shen said with a teasing smile.
"After all, we got home around six, skipped dinner, and went straight to our ’exercise’. But by nine, you couldn’t take it anymore, Nan. You insisted on showering and going to sleep."
"Get lost!"
With a look of embarrassed anger, Qin Yuenan pushed Lin Shen aside, stubbornly defending what little feminine dignity she had left.
"What do you mean, *I* couldn’t take it anymore? You’re the one who’s always thinking of weird ideas!"
"But didn’t you like it, Nan?"
Lin Shen propped his chin on his hand, a wide grin on his face as he watched Qin Yuenan’s adorable, blushing expression. He seemed to really enjoy teasing her.
’After all, turning a cold CEO into a shy maiden gives you such a sense of accomplishment.’
"I seem to recall you enjoying yourself quite a bit last night, Nan."
"Say that again?!"
Qin Yuenan shot Lin Shen a fierce glare, but her eyes lacked their usual coldness and sharpness. All that was left was an undeniable shyness and panic.
