Chapter 581: Chapter 281: The Secretary Who Discovered a Secret
7:30 AM.
Lin Ping slowly woke up. The sight of the unfamiliar ceiling left her expression a little dazed.
A moment later, memories of the previous night flooded her mind like a tidal wave, causing her delicate, alluring face to once again flush a seductive crimson.
Lin Ping had never imagined she would do something like that last night.
But along with the thrill came an unavoidable trace of melancholy resentment.
An overwhelming sense of crisis flooded her heart.
She never would have imagined that her greatest rival would turn out to be a young girl in her early twenties!
And she hadn’t won Lin Shen’s heart with her youth, but with her womanly Charm!
In other words, her sultriness!
That trump card was supposed to be Lin Ping’s specialty, but that girl had stolen it.
This left Lin Ping rather displeased.
She hadn’t thought about this at all last night.
Only after waking up this morning was she forced to confront the issue.
’She’s so young. Why isn’t she pursuing what people call happiness, and instead becoming one of President Lin’s women?’
’She must know full well that President Lin has a lot of women, right?’
’Being with him, she’ll never have his heart completely to herself.’
Therefore, Lin Ping figured the girl must have a story of her own; at the very least, her family life couldn’t have been a happy one.
’A normal person would never agree to something like this.’
’Perhaps Lin Shen had helped her, both emotionally and financially, and that’s why she was so uninhibited.’
In any case, this indirectly suggested they were cut from the same cloth.
Or, to put it another way, she needed Lin Shen for certain things.
The other girl might covet Lin Shen’s handsome face, but what Lin Ping liked more was his unfathomable power.
"I suppose everyone has their own troubles."
Lin Ping sighed softly. She threw back the covers and saw that the business attire she’d brought with her had been placed in the closet near the entryway.
At the head of the bed, there was only a shirt that Lin Shen had prepared for her.
A warmth spread through Lin Ping’s heart. She picked up the clean, plain white shirt and stared at it, lost in thought.
She could even smell the faint, warm scent of sunshine on it.
Like a woman obsessed, Lin Ping brought the folded shirt to her nose. She closed her alluring eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
’President Lin’s scent...’
’It smells so good!’
Lin Ping’s face flushed slightly. ’I feel like such a pervert.’
’But people online always say that if you really like someone, you’ll love their scent.’
’It’s a sign of physical attraction.’
Lin Ping gave a soft, beautiful smile and tried on Lin Shen’s shirt.
But because it was so large on her, the hem came down far enough to cover the tops of her curvy thighs, looking almost like a short dress.
Lin Ping quite liked the look, though. It had that trendy "boyfriend shirt" vibe.
’Nice!’
After making the bed, Lin Ping sat on the edge and picked up her phone.
The "battle" last night had been so fierce that she hadn’t touched her phone once.
So, the first thing she had to do this morning was catch up on work and personal matters.
Fortunately, work wasn’t too busy. She just had to meet a client that President Qin had arranged.
But the thought that she had slept with her boss’s boyfriend last night filled Lin Ping with a sense of guilt toward Qin Yuenan.
’President Qin is so good to me, yet I made a move on her man.’
’How could I be such a bitch!’
At the time, in the heat of passion, her consciousness had been completely ensnared in the "web of desire" spun by Lin Shen.
Back then, Lin Ping had simply followed her subconscious and physical instincts, enjoying the moment. But now that the dust had settled, her mind, a tangled mess of thoughts, began to run wild.
’The whole threesome thing was still up in the air, and then there was the problem of Qin Yuenan.’
’If she finds out, will she start making things difficult for me at work?’
Although, from what Lin Ping knew of Qin Yuenan, she probably wouldn’t do something like that.
After all, she was one of only two shareholders in Shennan. If word got out about workplace bullying, it could very well impact the company’s growth.
She might not get reprimanded, but Lin Ping felt she’d better be on her best behavior around Qin Yuenan from now on.
’Even though I’m older than her, I’m beneath her in every way—professionally and romantically.’
After mulling it over, Lin Ping got up and left the guest bedroom.
When she reached the door, however, she hesitated.
’Has President Lin’s other lover woken up yet?’
’What if she’s in the living room? It’ll be so awkward if we run into each other!’
So, after hesitating for a long time, Lin Ping finally decided to quietly crack the door open and peek outside.
Seeing that no one was there, she pressed herself against the wall and tiptoed forward like a cat.
When she didn’t see the college girl in the living room, Lin Ping couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Lin Shen was sitting on the sofa, looking up information on housekeepers. Seeing Lin Ping emerge, he chuckled.
"You’re awake?"
"Mhm."
Lin Ping answered shyly. The afterglow of the previous night was still fresh in her mind, making her actions a little stiff.
"President Lin, I’ll go make you breakfast."
"No need. We can just buy something to eat."
Lin Shen stood up and glanced at the time.
"We’ll get to the office around eight, right on time. Are you tired? If you are, I can call in and get you the day off."
"No, no, that’s not necessary."
Lin Ping waved her hands frantically, then went to the entryway to get dressed for work.
Seeing this, Lin Shen walked over and wrapped his arms around her voluptuous figure from behind, asking with a wicked grin.
"So, how was your new life experience last night?"
"It was... nice."
Lin Ping’s face flushed. She glanced toward the other guest bedroom and asked softly with concern.
"Is... she okay?"
"Of course she’s fine! You didn’t really think I was cruel to her, did you?"
Lin Shen said with a laugh.
"What? You want to meet her?"
"No, no!"
Lin Ping hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.
Seeing how shy she was, Lin Shen didn’t press the issue. Instead, he squeezed her full, round bottom and chuckled.
"It’s fine if you don’t meet now. You two will meet sooner or later. I just hope you aren’t too surprised when it happens."
’Surprised?’
Lin Ping didn’t quite understand what Lin Shen meant.
’Could she be someone I’d never expect?’
’No way!’
’I don’t think I even know any girls that young. Most of my friends are married women in their thirties.’
’But President Lin said I’d be surprised.’
Lin Ping couldn’t fathom what Lin Shen was thinking, but judging from his wicked smile, he was probably up to no good.
’But after last night... could there be any ’training’ more humiliating than a threesome?’
Lin Ping couldn’t imagine what it could be, nor did she want to.
Her only thought now was to serve Lin Shen well and stay by his side.
After last night’s "showdown" with the third party, she realized she was lacking, both in terms of technique and emotional expression.
’I need to let myself go more.’
As Lin Ping mulled this over, she followed Lin Shen downstairs to the B1 level of the parking garage and waited for a moment.
A moment later, his two-tone black-and-white Maybach S680 slowly pulled up.
Immediately, an exceptionally beautiful professional woman stepped out of the driver’s seat.
Her business suit accentuated her graceful figure.
Lin Ping recognized her. It was Lin Shen’s secretary, Xu Lei.
"President Lin."
The moment Xu Lei saw Lin Ping together with Lin Shen, she understood.
’Together this early in the morning... it probably isn’t for work.’
What’s more, she could tell from their intimate behavior that their relationship was anything but simple.
Even with a third person present, Lin Shen brazenly rested his hand on the small of Lin Ping’s back. Xu Lei could even see the subtle up-and-down movement, as if he were stroking Lin Ping’s full, shapely rear.
Yet, faced with Lin Shen’s "advances," Lin Ping seemed completely accustomed to it, acting as if they were just having a normal chat. She offered a gentle smile and a greeting.
"Hello there, Xu."
"Ping."
To avoid confusion with President Lin, Xu Lei usually called Lin Ping by the more familiar "Ping."
And Lin Ping didn’t have the cold, aloof air of some professional women that keeps others at a distance. She was very kind to everyone, treating them almost as equals.
Because of this, Lin Ping had an excellent reputation at Shennan, and Xu Lei naturally respected and liked her.
But now, confirming that her relationship with Lin Shen was more than professional, Xu Lei felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest.
’President Lin has so many women around him!’
’Do I even stand a chance?’
Just as Xu Lei was silently wondering, Lin Shen suddenly spoke.
"Go on upstairs and wait. There’s still someone in the apartment. When she wakes up, take her back to school."
?
’There’s someone else in President Lin’s apartment?’
The news stunned Xu Lei, and her mind couldn’t help but race with wild thoughts.
’"Take her back to school" means she’s a college student.’
’But wasn’t President Lin with Ping last night?’
’If the college student in the apartment is also a girl, that means... President Lin spent the night with two women...’
Reaching this astonishing conclusion, Xu Lei couldn’t suppress a shudder, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
Even so, she suppressed the urge to gossip and quickly gave a slight bow.
"I understand, President Lin. In that case, are you planning to drive yourself to the office today?"
"Mhm."
Lin Shen chuckled, walked over to his Ferrari SF90, and got in. Then, he and Lin Ping, in her BYD Han EV, drove out of the underground garage together.
Watching the two cars disappear into the distance, Xu Lei felt that strange tightness in her chest again.
Then, she adjusted her mindset, took a deep breath, and her dazed expression slowly hardened with resolve.
’If President Lin can sleep with two women at once, then he won’t mind adding one more!’
’I still have a chance to get closer to President Lin!’

「Room 2104.」
"Ngh..."
The sun was high in the sky. Bright light filtered through the sheer white curtains into the guest bedroom, casting a sunbeam across Zheng Yanfei’s charming, lovely sleeping face.
Only then did she slowly begin to wake, her dazed, beautiful eyes blinking twice in a cute, sleepy haze.
A moment later, her eyes shot open. She sat bolt upright in bed, grabbed her phone from the nightstand, and froze.
’Ten o’clock!?’
’I slept this late?’
"I’m so screwed! I’m so screwed! I have class today!"
Zheng Yanfei frantically opened WeChat. Sure enough, her roommates were blowing up the group chat.
