Chapter 536: Chapter 258: Clash of the Mature Woman and the Young Matron

Seasonal clothes?

A slightly surprised look appeared on Lin Shen’s face.

For most guys, a change of season just meant digging out old clothes from the depths of the closet.

They usually wouldn’t buy new ones unless their old clothes were truly unwearable.

Besides, ever since Lin Shen had started dating, the only person who cared about his clothes was his mother.

He never expected another woman to be concerned about his well-being now.

’How thoughtful!’

A knowing smile touched Lin Shen’s lips. Deeply moved, he pulled Lin Ping into a tight embrace, his gaze softening considerably. He pressed his lips close to her ear, which trembled slightly from her nervousness, and chuckled softly.

"Alright. I’ll come find you tonight. Is there anything else?"

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Lin Ping was a little conflicted, but after feeling the warmth of Lin Shen’s embrace, she understood. As long as her request wasn’t too outrageous, Lin Shen would surely agree.

A soft spot in her heart was touched. She finally overcame her shyness, wrapping her arms around Lin Shen’s neck. She tilted up her flushed face and, with a hazy look in her eyes, made her request.

"Anan has always wanted to see me marry you, President Lin, but I know that must be a very difficult thing for you."

"So I had an idea... I was hoping you could take a wedding photo with me, just to pretend for Anan. Would that be okay?"

’Wedding photos?’

Lin Shen froze for a moment.

"You mean the kind where you wear a wedding dress?"

"Yes."

Lin Ping knew this might be asking too much, so she quickly explained.

"I know wedding photos are incredibly meaningful. Usually, your first time taking them is with the person you love most. You and your girlfriend probably haven’t taken any yet, have you?"

"President Lin, if you haven’t, you can take them with your girlfriend first and then think about my request. Or you can just refuse me outright. That’s okay too."

"Why would I refuse?"

The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curved up slightly.

To be honest, he didn’t really care about such things. He also found it puzzling why some women attached such strange significance to certain events.

For example, the first time taking wedding photos, the first time bringing someone home to meet the parents, and so on.

Lin Shen didn’t see the big deal—the first time was no different from the second. But they all seemed to desperately want his "firsts."

Even Lin Ping was being so cautious about it now.

But Lin Shen reassured her.

"If it’ll make Anan happy, then taking wedding photos is fine. It’s not like you’re going to show them to anyone else, right?"

"Of course not!"

Lin Ping quickly stressed.

"I’ll only show the photos to Anan to put her mind at ease. Otherwise, she’ll keep asking me every day if I’ve married you, President Lin..."

"She really cares about her mom, huh."

Lin Shen smiled knowingly and glanced at the time on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on his left wrist.

Seeing this, the highly perceptive Lin Ping instantly understood that Lin Shen probably had other things to do. She quickly said,

"President Lin, you should get back to your work. I’ll go check on the store. You can just come straight to my place for dinner tonight."

"Okay."

"Then, President Lin, please take care of yourself. Don’t overwork."

After saying a few more words of concern, Lin Ping gave a slight bow and left the office.

At the door, she ran into Xu Lei, who had been waiting to enter and give her report. Their eyes met for a moment, and an unspoken understanding passed between them.

Although Xu Lei didn’t know what Lin Ping and Lin Shen had discussed in private, she could tell from the soft, charming smile on Lin Ping’s face that she was quite satisfied with the outcome.

’Maybe she has a good relationship with President Lin?’

Xu Lei wondered silently. Meanwhile, Lin Ping was carefully analyzing Lin Shen’s secretary from a woman’s perspective.

First, her looks and figure were well above average, more than enough to be President Lin’s secretary.

This made the sense of crisis that had just subsided within Lin Ping surge up once again.

She was realizing that every woman around Lin Shen was gorgeous!

And most importantly, they all had amazing bodies!

They were all tall, curvy beauties with hourglass figures.

’I really don’t get it. Where on earth does President Lin find so many beautiful women?’

’You rarely see women like this on the street, but here they are, gathered all around him.’

’Looks like my rivals are no pushovers!’

Lin Ping mused to herself.

Second, she noticed that Xu Lei also seemed to have some strange ideas about Lin Shen.

Back in the office, Lin Ping had secretly observed everyone’s expressions.

Qi Hao and Yang Han looked at Lin Shen with admiration and appreciation. Qin Yuenan’s gaze, on the other hand, was full of pride, as if to show off with an expression that said, "My man is amazing, isn’t he?"

As for Shen Yun, her gaze was cloying and seductive, filled with the kind of desire a demoness has for a holy monk—like she wanted to devour him whole.

And then there was Xu Lei. Her look was one of worship, mixing reverence and respect with a hint of longing.

She seemed to want a closer relationship with Lin Shen, but the exceptional women around him were holding her back.

’Maybe I can get closer to Xu Lei and win her over.’

As Lin Ping mulled this over, she took the elevator down to level B1.

But there, she ran into someone she hadn’t expected to see.

"You’re finally down."

Shen Yun was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, that signature seductive smile playing on her lips.

Although she had been waiting in the parking garage for a long time, she didn’t seem the least bit annoyed.
