Chapter 104 The Awakened Mature Woman
"Take the road."

After receiving a sweet kiss in return from Qin Yuenan, Lin Shen couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth.

I don't know when it started, but the aloof and cool older sister is no longer so "aloof".

Faced with Lin Shen's occasional requests made in a half-joking tone, Qin Yuenan no longer directly refused, but instead offered emotional support in ways he preferred.

They can even apply what they've learned to other situations!

Lin Shen hadn't expected such a huge change to happen in such a short time.

In the past, Qin Yuennan would never have used a kiss on the cheek as a reward. Usually, she would roll her eyes and reluctantly ask, "What kind of reward do you want?"

But now, she has completely figured out Lin Shen's preferences.

That's what astringent taste is!
"Give me another kiss."

Lin Shen was a little carried away with his pride. He pointed to his cheek and eagerly leaned closer.

However, Qin Yuennan pushed him away forcefully.

"Stop fooling around, we have things to do today, hurry up and eat."

"Ok."

After playing around with Qin Yuennan for a while, the two finished their breakfast and went downstairs.

At this moment, Wang Shuo had been waiting in front of the hotel for a long time and immediately offered his compliments with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, did you rest well?"

"pretty good."

Qin Yuennan, who is usually taciturn, surprisingly expressed her opinion this time, and even the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, clearly she was very happy.

This flattered Wang Shuo, who, with his high emotional intelligence, couldn't help but turn his attention to Lin Shen.

He knew very well that the only person who could make Qin Yuening show such a happy expression was probably her boyfriend.

It seems the two of them had a pretty harmonious time cooking last night...

Hey!
So envious!

International Pet Expo.

This is the activity that Qin Yuennan and Lin Shen are going to attend this morning.

Located at the Nanjing International Expo Center, it has dozens of exhibitors, including well-known domestic and international pet industry leaders.

This includes companies like Hill's, which primarily produces pet food, and Mars Royal Canin, which manufactures pet supplies.

Even Merck, which is in charge of the pet health industry, set up a booth.

Moreover, with a wide variety of pets, it's no exaggeration to call it a grand event for the pet industry.

Among them, PetHome's booth was located in the northwest corner.

A huge company logo hangs at the entrance, and the shelves on the left are filled with various pet foods and snacks promoted by PetHome.

The shelves on the right are stocked with various pet toys and daily necessities such as cat scratching posts.

In the middle is an enclosed playground where several very beautiful cats and dogs run around.

Guests can take off their shoes and go inside to play with the pets, which has attracted a lot of attention.

"Mr. Qin, this way please."

Led by Wang Shuo, Qin Yuennan and Lin Shen arrived at the Chongyoujia showroom, where staff members quickly came to introduce the products to them.

"This is our main food area, where the cat food uses..."

Qin Yuennan listened attentively and focused intently to the explanation given by her own company's employees.

After all, a company's booth is its face. If you don't even understand your own products, how can you sell them to customers?

Fortunately, those selected to work as staff members are all top performers in sales, possessing excellent eloquence and logical thinking.

Qin Yuennan nodded slightly, expressing her approval of the employee.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, focused his attention on the two large exhibition halls in the very center.

Mars Petcare and Nestlé Purina.

As two major conglomerates in the international pet industry, the breadth of their businesses is truly astonishing.

They offer staple food, snacks, prescription food, grooming products, cat litter, dog leashes... and even cats and ornamental fish.

This is practically a monopoly on the pet industry, isn't it?
As Lin Shen entered Mars' showroom, a parrot at the entrance suddenly greeted him with "Welcome" in perfect Chinese pronunciation, which took him quite a surprise.

It's quite intelligent.

Lin Shen strolled around the exhibition hall, focusing on the ingredients of pet food.

The core of cat food is food containing animal protein, such as beef and chicken.

It also contains taurine, which cats cannot synthesize on their own, as well as various easily digestible carbohydrates.

It feels similar to what people eat.

Lin Shen muttered to himself, and then went to browse the supplies section, where he was truly amazed by what he saw.

Because many products have already begun to be intelligent.

For example, timed feeding machines for cats and dogs.

After you input the breed and weight of your cat and dog, it will design the healthiest diet plan, including how many meals a day, the amount of food to feed each meal at regular times, etc.

It directly relieved the owner of a large portion of their energy.

This made Lin Shen secretly admire and begin to ponder.

Perhaps we could follow up on the relevant technology, since there seem to be very few intelligent pet products in China.

"So you are here."

Just as Lin Shen was about to leave Mars' showroom to wander around other places, Qin Yuennan, who had spotted him, walked over quickly, with a hint of resentment in her voice.

"I've been looking for you for so long. Couldn't you have told me before you ran off like that?"

"What? It's only been a short time, Sister Nan, and you can't live without me anymore?"

Lin Shen teased, which earned him a cold glare from Qin Yuennan, who retorted.

I was afraid you'd get lost.

"Then I'll have to wait for you at the service desk."

Lin Shen chuckled lightly, then changed the subject.

Have you finished touring your company's showroom?

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan nodded.

"The exhibition hall was well set up. I didn't need to offer any suggestions. They felt uncomfortable with me there, so they left."

"So, you're alright?"

"I guess so." Qin Yuennan looked into the interior of the Mars showroom.

"However, we still need to examine other brands' products."

"Let's go shopping together then."

Lin Shen approached Qin Yuennan and reached out to put his arm around her slender waist, but she stepped aside to avoid him, looking slightly flustered.

"Um... there are quite a lot of people, and many of them are acquaintances."

"Our relationship isn't something that can be done in the open."

Seeing Lin Shen's speechless expression, Qin Yuenan pursed her thin lips and pondered for a moment before taking the initiative to put her hand into his right hand and whispering something.

"Holding hands is the bottom line, but hugging the waist is not allowed."

"alright."

Lin Shen considered that this was Qin Yuennan's first relationship, and that physical contact in public would indeed take her some time to adjust to.

Moreover, she is a senior executive at Chongyoujia and knows many leaders of companies here.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it's understandable that they don't get too intimate.

So Lin Shen took Qin Yuennan's hand and strolled around the International Pet Expo, thinking it would be a sweet date between lovers.

As a result, she focused all her attention on her work.

"This smart collar is pretty good; it can monitor various indicators of the dog when worn."

"I need to take note of the ingredients in this cat litter; it's quite effective at removing odors."

"This golden retriever must be a show dog, right? They really need to participate in more international pet competitions to promote their products."

……

Seeing Qin Yuennan's focused expression as she looked at the exhibition, Lin Shen scratched his head, unsure of what to say, and couldn't help but silently complain in his mind.

Is this what a workaholic's daily life is like?

They're so enthusiastic about their work!

Doesn't she know that she can slack off while getting paid?

To prevent Qin Yuennan from focusing on work, Lin Shen took her directly to the convention center area to enjoy various pet shows.

Dog agility competitions, dog obedience competitions, informal ratings of breeding cats and dogs, etc.

Adorable cats and dogs displayed their skills and beauty on the huge artificial grass, attracting countless visitors to watch and take photos.

You can even bring your own pet to participate in the competition, and you'll receive a beautiful gift as a bonus.

Qin Yuennan looked at the adorable pet, her eyes sparkling with astonishment.

Seeing this, Lin Shen suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Sister Nan, since you love pets so much, why don't you keep one at home?"

"I'm too busy with work to take care of myself."

Qin Yuennan said softly.

"And I can't accept being separated from my pet, even if it's years or decades later."

"Is it."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"I'm the exact opposite of you. After I move, I plan to get a cat and a dog, otherwise life will be too boring."

"You want to move?"

Qin Yuennan was stunned.

"You bought a house in Shanghai?"

"No, I plan to rent one."

Lin Shen murmured, a hint of inexplicable emotion in his voice.

"I don't want to live in that old house anymore, it's too small."

"Is it."

Seeing Lin Shen's somewhat dejected expression, Qin Yuenan knew very well that the small space was just an excuse he made for moving.

In reality, he wanted to escape that place filled with painful memories.

Sensing Lin Shen's inner turmoil, Qin Yuenan took his hand and, despite her usual inability to comfort others, suddenly spoke softly.

"The past is the past. Have you found your dream house yet?"

"I think your neighborhood is pretty good, Sister Nan."

Lin Shen chuckled and teased.

"How about I move in and become your neighbor, Sister Nan?"

"Then I'll ask around for you."

Seeing Qin Yuennan looking like she was seriously thinking, Lin Shen quickly added.

"No need, I haven't actually decided where to move yet."

"Then let me know when you've made up your mind, and I can go house hunting with you."

Aren't you busy with work?

"It's not like I can't find the time when I'm busy."

Qin Yuennan lowered her head, pursed her thin lips, and after a moment of hesitation, her voice suddenly carried a hint of shyness.

"Besides, I'm quite happy to be with you."

"..."

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Although Sister Nan has never openly expressed her feelings, you can tell from various small details that she seems to like me quite a bit!

"Thanks."

Lin Shen tightened his grip on Qin Yuennan's hand, which made her smile slightly as she retorted with the same words.

"If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry."

"Then I won't be polite."

Lin Shen approached Qin Yuennan with a wicked grin. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and then grabbed her pert and plump buttocks.

!! ?
Qin Yuennan's beautiful eyes widened suddenly. Lin Shen's excessive "harassment" in public made her blush instantly, her face filled with shame and anger.

"Lin Shen!!"
