Chapter 123 The Mature Woman Becomes Clingy
12:30 PM.

After enjoying my last buffet dinner at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the restaurant on the 58th floor.

Lin Shen concluded his five-day trip to Nanjing.

The whole process went quite smoothly, because the most important thing was settled, and my relationship with Qin Yuennan took another step forward.

Everything else is just icing on the cake.

"Mr. Lin, please accept this!"

1 pm.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, lobby on the first floor.

After checking out at the front desk, Lin Shen also received an exclusive check-out gift package as a VIP customer.

Inside was a complete set of toiletries from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, including shower gel and facial cleanser, and even a box of exquisite Nanjing specialties.

Salted Duck.

Thank you for choosing The Ritz-Carlton. We wish you a pleasant life!

"Ah."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded. After chatting with the lobby manager who had come to see him off about Xiao Wang, he got into his Mercedes-Benz S-Class for the last time.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"It's not hard work!"

Faced with Lin Shen's comforting words from the back row, Xiao Wang was flattered.

“This is my job, Mr. Lin, you don’t need to be so polite.”

"This is my contact information."

Lin Shen took out a tissue, wrote his phone number on it, and then clipped it to the center console.

He probably doesn't need Xiao Wang now.

But in the future, he will probably lack a full-time driver.

Xiao Wang has high emotional intelligence and knows how to read people's expressions, so he should be very suitable for this position.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

When Lin Shen actually offered his phone number, Xiao Wang's heart pounded, and an unprecedented sense of excitement and agitation spread through his heart.

This might be a great opportunity for him to rise to prominence!

1:30 PM.
Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan were taken to Jinling High-Speed ​​Railway Station on time.

After resting in the VIP waiting room for about ten minutes, the two boarded the high-speed train back to Shanghai.

Qin Yuennan sat by the window.

She rested her elbow on the sofa armrest, her left hand supporting her cheek, her eyes slightly narrowed as she stared blankly out the window at the trees and tall buildings whose blurry afterimages were created by their rapid movement.

On the return journey, Qin Yuennan was not as happy as she had imagined.

But that's understandable; going back means getting busy again.

The accumulated work, assigned tasks, reporting forms...

Being a workaholic doesn't necessarily mean you like going to work.

On the contrary, they are likely to hate it even more than the average person.

"unhappy?"

Although Qin Yuennan's expression remained as aloof as ever, Lin Shen still sensed a hint of loneliness and melancholy in her expression.

So he immediately comforted her softly.

"Do you need to talk about it and let me help you get some advice?"

"Actually, it's nothing..."

Qin Yuennan actually dislikes sharing her troubles with those around her; "dumping her garbage" only adds to their worries and serves no other purpose.

But if she confides in Lin Shen, her unwavering resolve gradually melts away.

Because Qin Yuennan was very dependent on him.

She appears to be a strong woman on the surface, but deep down she needs someone to comfort and care for her.

This is also why Zhao Jianing advised her to find a boyfriend.

Because she could tell that although Qin Yuennan appeared strong on the surface, she was actually very fragile inside.

If I don't vent it out, I might develop psychological problems.

She desperately needs a man!
"This Monday, Zhang Heng was transferred to Beijing, and Sun Mingli will succeed him as the general manager of Chongyoujia's Shanghai branch."

"That old woman?"

Lin Shen frowned slightly, never expecting that Qin Yuennan, who had such strong work ability, would lose to others.

This really is a society that values ​​connections...

"At the same time, she also brought several close associates, intending to place them in some important positions to consolidate her position in the Shanghai branch."

"For example, finance, and operations."

“It might not have much of an impact on me at first, because many people in Shanghai recognize my abilities. Even if Zhang Heng leaves, I still have a place to go.”

"But Sun Mingli might target me later and promote her own confidant to a higher position."

Qin Yuennan rubbed her aching temples, and after analyzing the situation, she let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Lin Shen gently hugged her and comforted her.

"If you're unhappy with work, just quit. I'll support you!"

Can you afford to raise it?

Qin Yuennan looked up and gave a soft hum.

“I was spoiled since I was a child and I am very picky about my living conditions.”

"That's definitely not a problem."

Lin Shen said with a grin.

"We may not be good at other things, but we have plenty of money."

"Don't say that, you're excellent in every way."

Qin Yuennan leaned her head against Lin Shen's chest and said softly.

"I'm not with you because of your money."

"So what do you see in me?"

"persist in."

Qin Yuenan raised her head and looked earnestly into Lin Shen's eyes.

"Your successful weight loss shows that you are a very persistent guy."

"That is required."

Lin Shen chuckled.

"If I hadn't insisted, how could I have made you suffer so much that night?"
Qin Yuennan was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red.

She pinched Lin Shen's waist and abdomen hard, although most of it was muscle that she couldn't pinch, but she still had to establish her authority.

"How come you're just like Zhao Jianing, telling dirty jokes every day!"

"The more outrageous the conversations between couples, the better their relationship."

Lin Shen chuckled, which made Qin Yuenan roll her eyes at him before leaning against his chest and murmuring to herself.

"If I can't keep this up, I'll go home. Anyway, I have three houses in my hometown county. Why don't you come with me?"

what?
Lin Shen was somewhat bewildered.

Three houses?
His impression of Qin Yuennan: A strong woman who, through her own efforts, rose from a poor family to a higher social class and worked hard in Shanghai.

In reality: She was a Brahmin from a small town, but she didn't want to be the rebellious little princess her family planned for her future, so she went out to make her own way in the world.

"Your family is so rich?"

Lin Shen was surprised, then somewhat puzzled.

"Then why did you come to Shanghai? It would have been so much better to stay in your hometown and enjoy life."

"Large cities have abundant resources and opportunities, and comprehensive infrastructure such as medical care, education, and entertainment."

Qin Yuennan sighed softly.

"However, my parents don't seem to like Shanghai very much; they won't come even if we ask them to."

"Of course! The pace of life in Shanghai is too fast."

Lin Shen analyzed the situation logically and with evidence.

"We young people can eat, drink, and have fun everywhere, and make new friends in big cities."

“But our parents’ generation is in their fifties or sixties, and they definitely want to live a more stable life.”

"After all, their relatives and friends are all in their hometown. They would definitely not be used to living in a different place for retirement. It would be too lonely."

"really."

Qin Yuennan thought Lin Shen's words made a lot of sense. After thinking about it for a while, her pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, and she asked in a low voice.

"Then...when will you come back to my hometown with me?"

"So you're meeting the parents already?"

Lin Shen joked with a smile.

"Looks like you've reached this age, Sister Nan!"

"You knew it, yet you still said it!"

Seeing Lin Shen reveal her true age, Qin Yuenan glared at him angrily, then muttered something under her breath.

"My parents are pressuring me to go home, and I'm getting annoyed. I haven't been home in a long time, and I'm thinking of taking some time to go back."

"Then let's wait until you're free. I'm available anytime."

"Really?"

Seeing that Lin Shen had actually agreed to go home with her, Qin Yuenan's eyes lit up, and a strong sense of happiness and sweetness suddenly filled her heart. For the first time ever, she took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek.

"Thank you."

"There's nothing to thank me for."

Lin Shen grinned and put his arm around Qin Yuennan's slender waist.

"If you really want to thank me, you can do it in another way."

"..."

Seeing Lin Shen's mischievous grin, Qin Yuennan, who had long understood his personality, instantly understood what he meant by "another way".

Color embryo!

After mentally complaining, Qin Yuening bit her lip and looked around. Only after realizing that there were only the two of them in the business class carriage did her tension gradually ease.

So she took Lin Shen's left arm and hugged it to her chest, her blushing face slightly lowered, as if she didn't want anyone to see her shy appearance.

The meaning is self-evident.

Qin Yuennan's outfit today was still very simple: a round-neck fitted white T-shirt paired with denim shorts.

A delicate silver necklace adorned her chest, preventing her large expanse of fair skin from appearing too exposed.

However, this resulted in the four-leaf clover pendant at the end of the necklace being sunken into a deep ravine, attracting people's attention.

The plumpness makes it perfect for picking.

Lin Shen was quite satisfied, so he pulled his arm out of Qin Yuenan's arms and put it on her shoulder.

The seemingly casual movement actually allows the dangling left hand to reach directly down from the top and into the T-shirt through the neckline.

Qin Yuennan looked shy, but she didn't show any obvious intention to break free. She just leaned closer to Lin Shen and buried her flushed face in his neck.

The place was filled with the distinctive scent of hay, which she found irresistible.

It can be said that both sides got what they wanted.

One used their hands, the other moved their nose.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the business class carriage became ambiguous.

Fortunately, the high-speed rail journey from Nanjing to Shanghai is very short, and the two of them didn't dare to do anything more outrageous in the train.

Upon hearing the "clack-clack" of the flight attendant approaching quickly, Lin Shen calmly withdrew his left hand.

Qin Yuennan hurriedly tidied her clothes.

"Mr. Lin! We're almost in Shanghai. Do you need me to help you with your luggage?"

"Ah."

3 pm.

G1767 stopped at its final stop in Shanghai, Hongqiao Station.

Lin Shen took a taxi to go home with Qin Yuennan, and before parting ways, he received a sweet kiss from the aloof and elegant woman.

Boo!
Watching the Didi car's taillights disappear, Lin Shen touched his cheek, which still felt a trace of warmth. He suddenly realized that Qin Yuennan had changed a lot since returning from Jinling.

She would never have taken the initiative to kiss someone in front of so many people before.

Is Nan Jie starting to become a little clingy?

This good news warmed Lin Shen's heart, and after a knowing smile, he got into a Didi ride home.

Min'an Residential Community, Building 5, Room 403.

Pulling his suitcase back to his old, run-down apartment, Lin Shen thought he would feel annoyed.

After having stayed in a luxury suite, this little house just didn't look right.

but……

Why do I feel a strange sense of peace and warmth?

Lin Shen felt his whole body relax instantly, and he sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

There's no place like home!
