Chapter 622: Chapter 301: Auntie Is Also Brother Lin Shen’s Woman?
Qin Yuenan’s heart skipped a beat the moment she heard what Zhao Jianing said.
She had guessed that her best friend might come up with some wild idea, but she never expected it to be this terrible!
"No way!"
Qin Yuenan immediately refused.
"This is a critical phase for Shennan’s development. If I get pregnant, who’s going to help Lin Shen run the company?"
"Can’t he do it himself?"
"He doesn’t know how to do any of that."
Qin Yuenan curled her lip in disdain.
"He’s just the money guy. If I handed all the projects over to him, the company would probably go under in a few months."
It wasn’t that Qin Yuenan didn’t trust Lin Shen, but rather that she had absolute confidence in herself.
But after hearing this, Zhao Jianing couldn’t help but retort.
"You’re about to meet his parents and you’re still thinking about work. You should be thinking about your future!"
"But what you’re suggesting is a little extreme."
"How is it extreme? You know how it is with young people these days—no baby, no wedding."
Zhao Jianing patted Qin Yuenan’s shoulder earnestly.
"Besides, you’re already 28. By the time Shennan is fully developed, it’ll be at least three or four years. You’ll be 32 by then. Even if you’re in great shape, pregnancy will still carry some risks."
"Don’t you want to have a baby with Lin Shen?"
"..."
After hearing Zhao Jianing’s advice, Qin Yuenan hesitated.
She really did want to have a child with Lin Shen, a testament to their love.
But the complexities of her career forced her to balance the two.
After wrestling with it for a while, Qin Yuenan still didn’t know what to do, so she could only set the matter aside for the time being.
"Let’s not talk about this for now. We should just pick out the gifts."
"Fine."
Seeing Qin Yuenan avoid the issue, Zhao Jianing didn’t press her further.
After all, she wasn’t the one in the relationship, so she couldn’t really see things from Qin Yuenan’s perspective.
’Maybe her relationship with Lin Shen is solid enough without marriage and kids?’
’But with so many beautiful women around Lin Shen, Zhao Jianing couldn’t help but worry about her best friend.’
’Still, at least she was being brought home to meet his family.’
’This was a man’s way of showing his approval. If she was the first one, it would likely solidify her position as the "Main Palace"!’
’So, this trip home was a must-win for Nannan!’
Qin Yuenan, the one actually involved, was still calm, but Zhao Jianing was already hyped up for her, brainstorming all sorts of ideas and helping her pick out gifts for Lin Shen’s parents.
In the end, she decided to get Lin Shen’s mother some ejiao, gold jewelry, and a fur coat.
For his father, she chose a belt and some expensive liquor and cigarettes.
Seeing Qin Yuenan shopping like a madwoman, as if she were stocking up for the New Year, Zhao Jianing couldn’t help but quip.
"Anyone who knows what’s going on would think you’re just meeting Lin Shen’s parents. Anyone who doesn’t would think you’re the one going to his house to propose."
"It’s pretty much the same thing."
Qin Yuenan didn’t mind the sound of that.
"I could marry him, too."
"The other women around him would probably be furious."
Zhao Jianing teased with a smile.
"So, how do you get along with the other women around Lin Shen?"
"They all listen to me."
Qin Yuenan lifted her chin with a hint of pride and started dishing to her best friend about Shen Yun and Lin Ping, which left Zhao Jianing a bit stunned.
"Does Lin Shen have a thing for older women? Other rich kids go for college girls, but not him. He’s either with a woman like you, who’s three years older, or mature women who are seven, eight, or even ten years older."
"I guess everyone really does have their own kinks."
"Don’t talk nonsense."
Qin Yuenan shot Zhao Jianing a displeased glare.
"He has his reasons for being involved with these women. Take Shen Yun, for example. She’s the chairman of the Yuan Youwei Food Factory."
"So it’s *her*!?"
As a wealthy young woman who moved in Modu’s high-society circles, Zhao Jianing was naturally familiar with the top executives of these companies.
After all, they were the same people you saw at every event; you were bound to run into them.
This was especially true for Yuan Youwei, which was a relatively famous food processing plant in Modu that did contract manufacturing for many retailers.
Moreover, she was a woman, and such a powerfully career-driven woman was a rare sight in Modu.
Therefore, Zhao Jianing had a rather good impression of her.
Coupled with her devastatingly alluring looks, she was the object of desire for many middle-aged men in their forties and fifties.
But who would have thought she was actually Lin Shen’s woman!
This made Zhao Jianing feel a new level of admiration for him.
’What kind of charisma must a man have to gather so many outstanding women around him!’
’That’s not something you can achieve just by being handsome, rich, and a smooth talker.’
’He must have his own unique quality that attracts women.’
’Could it be...’
As a self-proclaimed "professor" in the affairs of men and women, Zhao Jianing pondered for a moment and seemed to understand everything.
’Of course. In the end, no matter the man, he has to rely on his prowess in *that* department to conquer a woman.’
’Even the richest man probably couldn’t keep a woman if he wasn’t good in bed.’
’This also indirectly explained why Qin Yuenan was getting more and more beautiful, with an ever-improving figure.’
’After all, a man is the best "elixir" for a woman to maintain her youth!’
So, this made Zhao Jianing very curious, and she immediately asked Qin Yuenan.
"You don’t want to get pregnant... It’s not because things aren’t harmonious between you and Lin Shen in that department, is it?"
"What? Where did your mind go!"
Qin Yuenan’s heart skipped a beat at Zhao Jianing’s bold question. She quickly glanced around, and only after seeing that no one was paying attention did she make a shushing gesture at her friend.
