Chapter 153 The Transformation of a Mature Woman Cooking (Part 2)

Since that night when Zheng Yanfei got in touch with Lin Shen, she has been interacting and chatting with this rich second-generation on WeChat quite a bit.

She would either post photos of what she ate for breakfast or ask him if her new manicure looked good.

Of course, these may seem like ordinary topics, but they actually contain Zheng Yanfei's little schemes.

Every photo was carefully taken and selected by her; it was either an "unintentional" display of her legs or her figure.

Unfortunately, Lin Shen was like a silent gourd, always only replying with perfunctory words like "um" or "okay," which greatly frustrated Zheng Yanfei's self-esteem and enthusiasm.

She even considered giving up at one point, thinking that Lin Shen might not be interested in her.

But at this time, Zheng Yanfei's roommates would always appear in time, adding fuel to the fire from behind.

"Why haven't you brought your rich and handsome boyfriend to meet us yet? Didn't you say he came back from abroad a long time ago?"

"Yeah, yeah! Feifei, you agreed last time, and now a week has passed, could it be... that you broke up?"

"It's okay to be dumped, but I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking on someone's part that they think they're his girlfriend, when he might not even know who you are."

"..."

Every time Zheng Yanfei heard Cheng Xiao dragging Tang Tian along to make sarcastic remarks, she was so angry that she wanted to just smear the foundation she was holding on Cheng Xiao's face.

But there's nothing I can do; I have to figure out a solution myself for the fake boyfriend I showed off because of my vanity.

First, she admitted that she had lied and that there was no such thing as a rich second-generation boyfriend.

Secondly, they tried every means to get Lin Shen to come out and meet them.

Given Zheng Yanfei's personality, she definitely wouldn't choose the former.

If she had to choose, she could already foresee being the butt of jokes and a source of shame for her entire college years.

Therefore, we can only do our best to get Lin Shen to come out!
But this is too difficult!

Forget about getting Lin Shen to come out, I often can't even find him on WeChat.

Of course, Zheng Yanfei could understand, after all, she didn't think Lin Shen was the kind of good-for-nothing playboy.

He's very capable and in control of the family business; he doesn't have time to fool around outside all the time!
But this also put a lot of pressure on Zheng Yanfei.

She had already run out of ideas and was thinking about whether to send some more revealing photos of herself to test Lin Shen.

result!

Guess what? There's always a way out!
On an ordinary weekend evening, Zheng Yanfei was getting sleepy from watching a drama and was about to go to bed when Lin Shen's invitation woke her up instantly.

Eh?
Lin Shen actually contacted me!?

When Zheng Yanfei saw the news, she could hardly believe it.

She rubbed her eyes several times to make sure she wasn't dreaming, and then, filled with excitement, she lay on the bed, clutching her phone and rolling around in bed.

It wasn't until Tang Tian at the foot of the bed complained that it calmed down.

"Feifei! What's wrong with you now? Why aren't you sleeping? You have to get up at 8 a.m. tomorrow!"

"Oh, sorry, I'm going to sleep now."

Zheng Yanfei stuck out her tongue and apologized softly. After calming her agitated state of mind with deep breaths, she began to think about what to wear to meet Lin Shen tomorrow.

This is the point!

Having finally managed to get Lin Shen to go out with her, she naturally had to seize the opportunity to show off her charm in front of him!

In fact, Zheng Yanfei is very skilled at how to attract men's attention with her outfits, but when facing Lin Shen, she suddenly became cautious.

If you dress too provocatively and revealingly, you might be seen as a woman with an immoral private life.

However, if the style of the clothes is too conservative, it will be difficult to attract Lin Shen's attention.

what can we do about it?

Zheng Yanfei was stumped, so she searched for "dating outfit" online, but all the results were strange and unusual things.

I need clothes that I can actually wear out!

It's not time to put on the battle uniform yet!

Zheng Yanfei inwardly complained, but after changing the keywords to "date" and "crush," the outfit recommendations on Xiaohongshu gradually became normal.

Zheng Yanfei summarized the advice from others and her own strengths, and the most crucial factor could be summed up in two words—

young!

Therefore, bright colors are definitely the first choice for outfits, aiming for a youthful and energetic style, and avoiding an overly mature look!
"Have it!"

Having made up her mind, Zheng Yanfei wanted to get out of bed right now and try on the clothes.

But it's so late, and my roommates are all asleep, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Zheng Yanfei silently cheered herself on.

Yanfei! Yanfei! First date operation!

Fighting!

Monday, January 2025, 8.

25℃～37℃, sunny, southeast wind level 2, humidity 28%.

7:30 a.m.

Even the energetic Lin Shen was put to the test, both physically and mentally, after several hours of hard work last night.

He had originally planned to sleep in, but then the familiar alarm clock suddenly went off.

Drop drop-!
—Beep beep beep!

Didn't I turn off the alarm?
Why is it still ringing in the morning?

Lin Shen was a little puzzled. He casually reached for his phone next to his pillow, but when he picked it up, he found that it wasn't his iPhone 16 that was ringing.

It belongs to Qin Yuennan.

Only then did Lin Shen realize that he had spent the night at Qin Yuennan's house. He looked down and saw her still fast asleep in his arms.

"Hmm~"

With a soft, sweet murmur in her sleep, Qin Yuennan pursed her lips and slowly opened her hazy eyes, only to find a handsome face with a captivating aura standing before her.

His smile carried a hint of malice; his upper body was bare, revealing his muscular chest, and his embrace was warm and strong.

"Good morning, Sister Nan."

"Good morning……"

Qin Yuennan subconsciously murmured a reply. As her consciousness, still in a state of disorientation, gradually returned, she finally recalled the passionate and tender moments between the two of them last night.

In an instant, a light blush spread across her fair face, extending from her cheeks to her delicate, snow-white neck, and even reaching the base of her ears.

Having already had an experience with Lin Shen once, Qin Yuennan originally didn't feel so shy this time.

Qin Yuennan was so angry that she punched Lin Shen's muscular chest hard. After turning off her phone alarm, she tried to sit up, but he pulled her into his arms again and said with a grin.

"Sister Nan, you're awake?"

"I need to go to work! Who's like you, just sitting at home doing nothing?"

Qin Yuennan glared at Lin Shen with embarrassment and annoyance, then broke free from his embrace and stood by the bed to change into the silk nightgown she had taken from the wardrobe.

The aloof and elegant woman's smooth and delicate back was as alluring as mutton fat, and Lin Shen could never get enough of looking at her.

Qin Yuennan glanced at the messy floor and blushed again. She turned to look at the "culprit" on the bed who had caused all this.

He was looking at him with a smile, his eyes burning with intense passion.

"what happened?"

"Could you tidy up my room for me? I'll go make you breakfast."

"it is good."

Lin Shen suddenly threw off the blanket, swaggered out of bed and came to Qin Yuennan's side. This startled her so much that she looked away in a panic, not knowing where to look, and could only scold her in embarrassment.

"Go get dressed quickly!"

"It's not like we haven't seen each other before. We're an old married couple, why are you still so shy?"

Lin Shen curled his lip in disdain, then picked up the battle-damaged black stockings from the ground and asked Qin Yuennan about it.

"How much are these stockings? I'll pay you back."

"Need not."

Qin Yuennan muttered to herself.

"I knew you would tear it, so I didn't buy anything too expensive."

"Sister Nan, you really understand me."

Lin Shen chuckled, only to be punched in the chest by Qin Yuenan in annoyance.

Then she left the master bedroom and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After tying on her apron, she first boiled four soft-boiled eggs, then heated up some toast.

After Lin Shen finished tidying up the master bedroom, he came out to see this warm and loving scene of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

This warmed his heart, and he walked into the kitchen, hugging Qin Yuennan, who was frying bacon, from behind, and sighed.

"It's so wonderful to have someone make breakfast for you!"

"Stop fooling around! Be careful not to get burned by the oil droplets."

Although she complained about Lin Shen, Qin Yuhuan instinctively leaned back into his arms. He kissed her neck frequently, and her legs went weak before she finally managed to shoo him out of the kitchen.

"Get out if you're not going to help! Don't cause trouble!"

"Good good."

Lin Shen sat at the dining table with a smile. While waiting for breakfast to be ready, he used a property rights analysis tool to find the cat cafe that best met his criteria.

Keywords: bankruptcy, losses.

Lin Shen plans to acquire a batch of obedient and well-behaved cats, and also hire experienced staff. Naturally, it would be most convenient to find them in closed cat cafes.

The property rights analysis quickly yielded results.

Lin Shen randomly picked one of them.

【Name: Coffee Cat Fun】

Location: Huangpu District

Area: 40㎡

Net profit: -4/month

ROI: -50%

[Future development direction: None. Change careers, kid. Anyone who can find a prime location for a cat café in a super expensive office area has it all.]

Good guy!
Is this property rights analysis really that critical?
Lin Shen pondered silently.

Indeed.

Cat cafes should be located in areas that attract young people, such as near university campuses or in neighborhood shops with easy parking.

For working people who are busy with their daily routines, where would they find the time to pet cats?

What's more, the rent is so expensive.

"No wonder it went bankrupt..."

Lin Shen muttered something under his breath. At that moment, Qin Yuennan brought the breakfast to the table one by one.

A sandwich made with toast, lettuce, and bacon, topped with a peeled soft-boiled egg and hot milk.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Lin Shen deep in thought while holding his phone, Qin Yuennan sat opposite him and asked curiously.

"Is the cat cafe finished being renovated?"

"No, they're still pretending."

Lin Shen smiled and chatted while enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by the aloof and elegant woman.

"I plan to find a cat cafe that is about to close down, buy all the cats from the store, and at the same time recruit their staff. It's a win-win situation."

"pretty good."

Qin Yuennan agreed with Lin Shen's idea, but then offered her own small suggestion.

"Cats also have a sense of territory, so remember to train them beforehand to avoid them fighting with the cats in your shop."

"it is good."

Lin Shen chuckled, waving the half-eaten toast in his hand.

“It’s delicious.”

"Is it."

Looking at Lin Shen's handsome face, Qin Yuennan's heart was suddenly deeply touched.

Having breakfast with your loved ones is truly a wonderful thing!
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yuening pursed her lips and tentatively asked.

"I remember you said you wanted to move? Have you found a suitable place yet?" "Oh right, I forgot to tell you."

Lin Shen suddenly seemed to be reminded and quickly said.

"I bought an apartment in Courtyard No. 1".

"Number One Courtyard?"

Qin Yuennan blinked her beautiful eyes, and suddenly felt a jolt of surprise.

"The one from Sunac Binjiang?"

"Ah."

"I remember that area wasn't cheap..."

"It costs around 100,000 yuan per square meter, which isn't expensive. My apartment is a fully furnished large flat, over 200 square meters, and cost over 30 million yuan in total."

"..."

More than 30 million?!
Qin Yuennan looked completely bewildered, her mouth slightly open, and she stopped chewing the food in her mouth.

She knew Lin Shen resigned because he made a lot of money, but she never imagined that he could have made enough to buy a luxury house worth more than 30 million!
This is her ultimate goal in her struggle in Shanghai!
Has Lin Shen already finished?
Qin Yuennan found it hard to believe.

After all, Lin Shen was working under her just over a month ago.

As a result, less than a month after he resigned, he earned more than I did.

Since you're so rich, what were you doing at your previous job?

Experience life?

Moreover, are there any businesses that can earn tens of millions in a short period of time?

Even if it can make money, is it legitimate?
It can't be anything illegal.

Qin Yuennan was somewhat worried that Lin Shen's money was ill-gotten.

"How did you do that? You didn't do anything strange, did you?"

"Of course not."

Lin Shen was both amused and exasperated.

He clearly knew what Qin Yuennan was thinking, but he couldn't say it outright, so he could only give a vague and perfunctory answer.

“Things like cryptocurrency trading or investing are legitimate ways to make money. Otherwise, my assets would have been frozen by the bank long ago when I bought the house.”

"Right."

Lin Shen's words dispelled most of Qin Yuennan's concerns, but she still felt strange.

Of course, she also understood from Lin Shen's words that he didn't want to talk about this.

So Qin Yuennan wisely refrained from pressing the issue and changed the subject.

"Congratulations on buying your new house and settling down in Shanghai! How about we take you to see your new home sometime?"

"Sure, when are you free?"

I'll tell you when the time comes.

"it is good."

Lin Shen said with a grin.

"If Sister Nan wants to live with me, I have no objection."

"I'm not staying here!"

Qin Yuennan glared at Lin Shen with embarrassment.

Although she longed to spend every day with the person she loved most, it was just a thought.

Qin Yuennan pursed her thin lips, took a small bite of bread, and glanced around guiltily, feeling that she had to give up this gradually addictive liking, otherwise she would have no energy for her daily work.

After finishing breakfast, the two went downstairs together and headed to different places.

Qin Yuennan drove her Volvo S90 to work, while Lin Shen drove his Jaguar XFL to run errands.

First up is Warm Paw Nest Cat Cafe.

No, it would be more appropriate to call it "Shennan Pet Club" now.

The original signboard for "Warm Paws Cat Cafe" has been removed, and the construction site next to it is still under renovation, with constant clanging and banging sounds making it quite lively.

At that moment, only Lin Ping was taking care of the cats in the shop.

Jingle Bell--!
The sound of the wind chimes at the door reminded Lin Ping that someone had entered the store. She glanced to the side and found that it was Lin Shen!
So she quickly put the cat down and ran to Lin Shen, her expression revealing surprise and astonishment.

"President Lin? What brings you here?"

"Can't I come to my shop?"

Lin Shen chuckled and teased, his gaze sweeping over the beautiful young woman in front of him.

She looked very different today compared to usual.

Instead of the simple, homely dark loungewear, she switched to a white low-cut fitted long-sleeved top with a personal style, paired with light blue skinny flared jeans.

She fully revealed her graceful figure, which was originally hidden under loose clothing, making her appear curvaceous.

Moreover, she had put on light makeup instead of her usual bare face, seemingly intending to show her most beautiful side as a woman.

At this moment, Lin Shen suddenly realized that Lin Ping was only thirty-two years old.

"No, no! I didn't say you couldn't come!"

Although Lin Shen was joking, Lin Ping still nervously waved her hands to explain.

"It's just that you didn't tell me you were coming on WeChat beforehand, so I didn't expect it."

"Let me see you."

Lin Shen smiled gently.

"Your outfit is great, just keep wearing it from now on."

"Really? Thank you."

Lin Ping shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her heart pounding.

Since agreeing to become Lin Shen's lover, she has decided to completely change her simple and low-key side.

She is now divorced.

Besides taking care of An'an, she finally has time to pursue the things she likes.

For example, things that girls discuss, such as clothes and cosmetics.

No matter their age, women always aspire to a beautiful appearance.

Lin Ping was no exception.

So, at Lin Shen's suggestion, she tried to develop in a direction that Lin Shen liked.

That is, the mature and sexy hot mom style.

It seems the results are pretty good!
At least Lin Shen liked it very much.

Lin Ping felt a secret joy in her heart.

"Mr. Lin, please have a seat. I'll get you a cup of coffee."

"No need, close the shop first and come with me."

Lin Shen reached out and patted Lin Ping's full, plump buttocks, which were outlined by her jeans.

"I'll take you somewhere."

?

Lin Ping was taken aback, clearly misunderstanding Lin Shen's actions, and then lowered her eyes shyly.

"Um... Mr. Lin, if we're closing down, there's really no need to move to another location."

?

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then felt a bit dumbfounded.

"I'm not here to do that kind of thing with you; I'm here to discuss business."

what?
Lin Ping blinked her beautiful eyes, her delicate face instantly turning red. She twisted her hands in front of her and avoided eye contact, feeling extremely ashamed.

Seeing this, Lin Shen's lips curled up slightly, and he stepped forward to whisper in her ear.

"But if you'd like, we can try it here next time."

"I……"

Seeing that the beautiful young woman in front of him had turned as red as a ripe apple, Lin Shen decided not to tease her any further.

"Alright, let's close the shop. I'll take you somewhere."

-

10 o'clock in the morning.

Coffee Cat Fun.

On weekday mornings, when cat cafes should be open, this shop had hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign on the doorknob.

Qi Hao, the owner of Fei Chang Mao Qu, is currently livestreaming in a small room with only a few people watching on his phone.

He plans to sell all the cats in the shop.

After several months of trying to sell the business without success, Qi Hao had no choice but to dispose of the equipment and cats in the store to make up for the losses.

But several days have passed, and not a single cat has been sold!
The reason is also very simple.

Qi Hao is a veterinarian, and the cats in his shop are all stray cats that he rescued from outside.

Most of the breeds are mixed breeds of domestic shorthair cats.

Although these cats are all healthy and free from any diseases under Qi Hao's careful breeding and care, they are also docile and affectionate, and their fur and appearance are exceptionally beautiful, in no way inferior to domestic cats.

Unfortunately, if customers were to pay the bill, they would still prefer to spend money on purebred cats like Ragdolls or British Shorthairs.

After all, tabby cats are everywhere. If I spend money to buy yours, I might as well just pick up a stray cat from outside and take it home to raise.

Therefore, Qi Hao's idea of ​​selling the cats failed, and he didn't even manage to give away many of them.

"well--!"

Seeing that there weren't many viewers in the live stream, Qi Hao sighed and decided to think of another way.

However, at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and sunlight instantly streamed into the slightly dim shop.

It was a young man with a beautiful young woman; the age difference seemed more like a relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

Qi Hao was taken aback, quickly put down the cat he was holding, and went over to remind him.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, we are not open for business today."

"It's okay, I'm not a customer."

The young man offered his right hand with a smile.

"My name is Lin Shen, and I'd like to discuss business with you."

"Business talk?"

Qi Hao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned on the lights in the store's lobby and shook hands with Lin Shen.

"My name is Qi Hao, hello."

"Hello, I see you have posted rental ads for several rooms on many apps?"

"Yes!"

Qi Hao was overjoyed.

Could it be that this young man is planning to take over the cat cafe and open his own shop?

Although Qi Hao was extremely excited to be able to transfer the shop, he still kindly reminded people, adhering to his conscience that he couldn't cheat others.

"Young man, business at cat cafes has been tough lately, and the rent here is really expensive. You'd better think it over."

Oh?
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that Qi Hao didn't recommend that he take over the cat cafe.

Isn't this what you want to transfer?

So now that I'm here, you're not transferring the rights anymore?
Lin Shen took another look at Qi Hao in front of him.

He was balding, wore black-rimmed glasses, and looked like a refined, cultured man.

His personality is probably the honest and reserved type, and he should be easy to get along with.

This kind of person is clearly intelligent but not shrewd; they are better suited for academic research than running their own business.

Lin Shen's first impression of Qi Hao was quite good.

Seeing that I was young, they not only didn't take advantage of me, but even kindly reminded me.

Good!

Since you're a good person, I'll lend you a hand.

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"I'm not here to take over this shop, I'm here to buy your cat."
