Financial Independence through Cracked Apps

However, the door to room 2104 was ajar, as if Lin Shen had left it open for her.

Lin Ping's heart filled with secret delight. Restless and excited, she reached the door and found a package with a note on the delivery locker beside it.

"Put these on before you come in."

?

Lin Ping froze. As she opened the paper bag, her eyes flew wide.

The items inside were all too familiar.

A black lace blindfold, a black collar with a small golden bell, and a pair of sound-dampening earplugs.

Lin Ping knew exactly what these little props were for. Her face flushed, and her heart suddenly pounded with an unnerving tension.

'Why did President Lin prepare these for me?'

'If it was just to add a bit of fun between us, that would be one thing.'

'But what if it's for something else?'

The blindfold and collar were familiar enough to Lin Ping, but the sight of the earplugs shattered her composure.

She knew Lin Shen well; he loved whispering the kinds of sweet nothings in her ear that only lovers share.

Because of that, he would never normally have something like earplugs ready.

But he had them ready tonight, which could only mean one thing.

'He doesn't want me to hear anything!'

Lin Ping lightly bit her lip, suddenly recalling something Lin Shen had mentioned before.

'To protect your privacy, I'll have you both wear blindfolds and get some earplugs. That way, you won't hear each other.'

'Could it be... there's a third person here tonight?'

Lin Ping's heart pounded wildly. A heat erupted from within her like lava, instantly flooding her core and spreading to her limbs, making her body flush and her cheeks burn.

'Go in?'

'Or not?'

In truth, the decision had already been made; Lin Ping was merely fighting an internal battle.

After a moment of internal struggle, Lin Ping finally grit her teeth and fastened the collar around her delicate, swan-like neck.

Next, the earplugs.

These sound-dampening earplugs weren't as effective as the ones she might use for insomnia; she could still faintly hear the world outside.

It was like having water in her ears—everything was muffled, making it difficult to pinpoint the source of any sound.

That way, even if she heard the third person's voice, she wouldn't be able to identify them.

Even if they ran into each other on the street in the future and exchanged greetings, neither would likely recognize the other.

Finally, Lin Ping put on the black lace blindfold, tying it behind her head.

This blindfold didn't completely block her vision either; she could make out blurry shapes through the thin black lace.

"I hope it's not what I'm thinking..."

Lin Ping clasped her hands tightly in front of her, more nervous than she had ever been in her life.

After taking several deep breaths to compose herself, she pushed open the ajar door and stepped into Lin Shen's home.

The entryway and living room were lit by soft, warm, pale-yellow nightlights, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere.

The faint scent of cologne incense lingering in the air helped relax her body and mind in an instant.

She looked around but saw no sign of Lin Shen. Bracing a hand against the wall, she slowly made her way toward the master bedroom.

As she drew closer, however, she could clearly see the master bedroom door was ajar, a faint light glowing from within.

Clearly, someone was inside.

Because Lin Ping could hear something!

A sound she was very familiar with!

In an instant, the blush on Lin Ping's face deepened, making her look even more ravishing. She instinctively pursed her lips, and her pace slowed to a crawl.

She could hear it even with the earplugs in.

That just showed how intense it was!

Especially since a faint, sweet female voice was mixed in, confirming Lin Ping's suspicions.

'There's definitely a third person here tonight!'

'Should I go in?'

Lin Ping, who thought she had prepared herself, suddenly hesitated.

She had planned to give Lin Shen a surprise tonight, but he had turned the tables and given her an even bigger one!

'No, a shock is more like it!'

'Because I wasn't prepared for this at all!'

Although Lin Shen had mentioned it before, she had always assumed he was joking.

After all, Shennan was finally getting on track, and work had been incredibly busy.

'Considering Lin Shen's energy levels, even if he were Superman, he had to be tired by now, right?'

'How could he possibly still be in the mood for these kinds of games?'

However, with the facts laid bare before her, Lin Ping had no choice but to accept reality.

Namely, that Lin Shen's stamina was even more boundless than she had imagined.

Lin Ping pressed her lips together, periodically gnawing on her lipstick-coated lower lip. Her hands clenched and unclenched at her sides.

She was clearly in the throes of an intense internal conflict.

Her modesty and conservative nature made it difficult for her to accept the situation.

Even with some mental preparation, she would still need a significant amount of time to come to terms with it.

Forcing her to make a choice right now would leave her utterly conflicted.

'But if I don't go in, President Lin will be furious, won't he?'

'After all, we agreed on this. He was so excited about it, and I said yes.'

'Backing out at the last minute would be completely unjustifiable.'

'This could cause a subtle shift in my relationship with President Lin. He might even give me the cold shoulder... or abandon me altogether!'

'That is absolutely not what I want!'

Lin Ping took a deep breath, her conflicted heart slowly hardening with resolve.

She began to talk herself into it.

'It's no big deal!'

'Besides, there are plenty of precautions in place. My identity will be safe.'

'And even if it is, so what?'

'Modu is a huge city. What are the chances we'd ever see each other again?'

'Even if we did, we'd probably just meet as fellow lovers of President Lin.'

'Would any of this even matter then?'

'It's going to happen sooner or later anyway. I might as well get ahead of it, please Lin Shen, and fulfill his desire.'

'This way, I might even win his favor.'

Lin Ping decided to just throw caution to the wind.

'Since we're bound to meet sooner or later, why not make it thrilling?'

The more Lin Ping thought about it, the hotter her body grew. Her legs felt so weak that she had to lean against the wall for support.

Finally, she made up her mind.

She would indulge Lin Shen's desires!

'I'm in my thirties. It's time to add a little excitement to my life!'

Lin Ping finally reached the master bedroom door and peeked inside through the crack.

She thought she had prepared herself, but when the sultry, passionate scene unfolded before her lace-veiled eyes, her heart still began to race uncontrollably.

She could vaguely make out Lin Shen's familiar, muscular physique, which seemed to have gotten even better recently.

A light sheen of sweat coated his full pectoral muscles, and his sharply defined eight-pack was a physique many men and women could only dream of.

Paired with his powerful thighs, it was hard to believe that such a mouth-watering, athletic physique was hidden beneath his usual suits and casual clothes.

Just the sight of his body was almost too much for Lin Ping to handle.

And that was before she even considered the delicate, soft body entangled with his.

Lin Ping bit the corner of her lip. Her gaze flickered away for a moment before she forced herself to focus on the other woman.

She carefully analyzed the physique of her "rival."

In terms of height, they were similar, both around five-foot-five.

But their body types were vastly different.

Lin Ping was voluptuous, her hips and chest exuding the mature, sexy charm of a woman in her prime.

But the girl beneath Lin Shen was the slender type, with a thin frame that had the distinct petiteness of a young woman.

Of course, her youth gave her many advantages, especially her fair, supple skin. It was, without a doubt, the most delicate skin Lin Ping had ever seen on a woman.

Bar none.

The phrase "skin so delicate it could be broken by a touch" seemed tailor-made for her.

Moreover, her fair skin, tinged with a rosy glow, created a stark contrast with Lin Shen's lightly tanned complexion.

The contrast between her petite, slender body and Lin Shen's broad, powerful frame was especially charged with sexual tension.
