Chapter 166 "My House is Quite Big" "It is Quite Big" (Two Chapters Combined)

"Mr. Lin, please take care! I will connect your personal account with the company account as soon as possible. If you need anything, just call me. I'm available 24/7."

Jiang He bowed and smiled as she saw Lin Shen off from the China Construction Bank headquarters, where everyone had already left work.

For VIP customers, the bank can be open at any time.

7:30 p.m.

The setting sun melts into gold, and twilight deepens.

The entire city seemed to be draped in a deep orange veil, outlining a luxurious and decadent silhouette.

Lin Shen rested his left arm on the car window, sitting in the driver's seat and quietly admiring the setting sun on the horizon.

On his lap lay a thick file folder, along with unopened seals and inkpads.

This is the result of his busy afternoon.

With these, Lin Shen's company can be considered to have taken initial shape.

"call--!"

After Lin Shen came to his senses, he stroked the rough texture of the file folder, feeling a complex emotion that he couldn't quite explain.

The uncertainty and anticipation about the future, and the joy and excitement about the possibility of success.

"I hope everything goes well."

Lin Shen closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart.

He put everything on his lap in the back seat and glanced at his phone screen.

The screen displayed their WeChat chat history.

"Perhaps we can give Sister Nan a surprise tonight."

A surge of warmth welled up in Lin Shen's heart.

Of all the women around him, he had a particular fondness for Qin Yuennan.

Whether it was her long, slender, and voluptuous legs or her plump and perky peach-shaped buttocks, Lin Shen coveted them immensely.

After thinking for a moment, he drove away from the China Construction Bank's parking lot.

9 PM, the office of the marketing director of PetHome.

In the brightly lit room, Qin Yuennan sat quietly behind her desk, her hands resting lightly on the keyboard, lost in thought.

She had already finished her overtime work, but she wasn't in a hurry to pack her things and go home.

Because her mind was completely occupied by Lin Shen.

And that name that suddenly appeared.

Jiang Wan.

Qin Yuennan had lost count of how many times she had thought of this name, but each time it sent a shiver down her spine.

She was certain that the "Shuiyanwei" who filmed with Lin Shen was his senior from his university club, Jiang Wan!

It turns out they had been in contact privately all along.

From that day at Sheshan until now.

They even co-starred in a short film about love!

Perhaps, as Zhao Jianing said, the two of them have already gone on a trip to the beach.

Qin Yuennan suddenly felt a pang of sadness and a trace of resentment.

After all, anyone would feel awkward and uncomfortable knowing that their boyfriend has a relationship with another girl that goes beyond ordinary friendship.

Qin Yuennan was the same.

And most importantly, Jiang Wan is a particularly beautiful, gentle older sister type of girl!

Although Qin Yuennan was quite confident in her looks and felt that she could easily outshine her opponent.

However, when it comes to her figure, she has to admit that she may have lost.

And the defeat was complete!

Effort is a joke when faced with talent!

"well--!"

Qin Yuennan sighed softly, her thin lips pressed tightly together.

Based on her woman's intuition, Lin Shen definitely had a secret with Jiang Wan!
Because she knows her boyfriend very well.

He is impeccably excellent in every aspect, but he is a scumbag when it comes to relationships.

He definitely wouldn't let go of a beauty like Jiang Wan, who has such a top-notch figure and looks!
Qin Yuenan had actually known about Lin Shen's womanizing "flaw" for a long time.

She had confidently told Zhao Jianing that she would indulge Lin Shen.

Because Lin Shen had been hurt in a relationship.

However, when the situation actually came to pass, Qin Yuennan changed her mind.

She discovered that she wasn't as magnanimous as she had imagined, and simply couldn't bring herself to give her boyfriend to another woman.

Even sharing is not allowed!

Qin Yuennan felt that she had an almost pathological possessiveness towards Lin Shen.

It was obviously me who came first!
I was the one who took a liking to Lin Shen first!
When I went hiking with him in Sheshan, you guys had just gotten in touch!

It must mean that my relationship with Lin Shen has taken another step forward!
Qin Yuennan's thin lips pursed slightly, her cheeks puffed out, her heart filled with jealousy.

Correct.

When faced with the "fact" that her boyfriend cheated on her, this aloof and sophisticated woman wasn't angry with Lin Shen, but rather jealous of the other woman!
They were even secretly competing with each other.

snort!
What's so great about being big?
Her body proportions look off!
A well-proportioned figure is the most desirable!

Do you have a perfect waist-to-hip ratio?

And I have long legs!

Lin Shen really loves my long legs. When we're doing *that*, he often carries them on his shoulders and praises me!
As she pondered, Qin Yuennan suddenly realized that her thoughts were becoming distorted.

So she quickly patted her slightly flushed cheeks, took a deep breath, calmed her restless mind, and became as calm as ever.

"call--!"

Qin Yuennan shut down her laptop and closed it, silently pondering what to do next.

Should we confront Lin Shen?
Or should we pretend we don't know for now?

Dangdangdang——!
Just as Qin Yuennan's thoughts were in disarray, a sudden, crisp knock on the door startled her.

It's so late, there shouldn't be anyone else in the company by now!

Who is it?
Qin Yuennan felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously took a few steps back. She clenched her left hand tightly in front of her chest and instinctively picked up a pen from the table with her right hand for self-defense. She stared at the door with a terrified expression and asked in a cold voice, trying to appear calm.

"Who?"

However, there was no answer at the door for a long time, and then there was another knock.

Dangdangdang——!
These three blows seemed to strike deep into Qin Yuennan's soul, causing her heart to pound and her voice to tremble.

"If you don't speak, I'll call the police!"

After saying that, Qin Yuennan immediately took out her phone to dial 110, but at that moment, that familiar soft laughter came from the doorway.

"Sister Nan, it's me."

The forest is deep!?
Qin Yuennan's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and for the first time, she felt that Lin Shen's magnetic, deep voice was so warm and familiar.

However, after letting out a long sigh, resentment and anger welled up in her heart.

He was just deliberately keeping silent to scare me!
Qin Yuennan gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward, opened the door, and saw Lin Shen. She originally wanted to give him a good beating.

However, she discovered that Lin Shen was also holding a large bouquet of bright red roses.

In an instant, Qin Yuenan blinked her beautiful eyes and froze.

The rebukes that were meant to be spoken eventually turned into questions whose answers were already known.

"What are you here for?"

"To pick you up after get off work."

Lin Shen handed the flowers to Qin Yuenan, and smiled as she instinctively took them and hugged them to her arms.

"Didn't I say last time that picking up your girlfriend from get off work is a boyfriend's natural duty?"

"..."

Qin Yuennan silently looked at the roses in her arms. The fresh fragrance lingered around her nose, eliminating almost all the negative emotions in her heart.

It wasn't just the resentment from being frightened by Lin Shen, but also the anger from learning that he had "cheated" on her.

These emotions vanished the moment the flowers were received.

All that remained was a gradually rising warmth and a deep sense of emotion in my heart.

Of course, even though she was extremely happy, her aloof and mature personality still had a touch of arrogance.

"Why are you picking me up so late? I didn't ask you to come!"

"I came here of my own volition."

Lin Shen knew Qin Yuenan was being disingenuous, so he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he smiled and closed the door, teasing her.

"After all, it's well-known that someone is afraid of the dark."

"I'm not afraid of the dark!"

"Then why are all the lights on on this floor?"

Lin Shen asked with a smile.

"If you're not afraid of the dark, shouldn't you only turn on the light in your own office?"

"I don't need to save electricity for the company..."

Qin Yuenan turned her face away and muttered to herself, clearly having been guessed by Lin Shen.

This made him smile faintly, and his frivolous tone suddenly became serious.

“It’s not safe for a single woman to work overtime at night, and I was a little worried, so I came to see you.”

"Of course, all these reasons can actually be summarized in one sentence: I wanted to see you, so I came."

"..."

Hearing Lin Shen's heartfelt words, Qin Yuennan's heart trembled, and she bit her lip tightly.

She originally wanted to use Jiang Wan's matter to throw a tantrum at Lin Shen and vent her anger.

But you still came to pick me up from get off work so late... How can I be angry with you!
"But I don't want to see you! I hate you!"

Qin Yuennan glared fiercely at Lin Shen, then threw the flowers in her arms onto the sofa, took the initiative to step forward, put her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoe to give him a passionate kiss.

Since you can't vent your resentment, then vent your love.

Qin Yuennan kept her beautiful eyes closed and acted with unusual initiative.

This caught Lin Shen completely off guard.

After all, a cool and aloof older woman doesn't usually offer a kiss, let alone one as passionate as today.

Could it be just because I picked her up from get off work tonight?

Lin Shen was somewhat surprised, after all, such a small thing shouldn't have moved the aloof and mature woman so much...

Or are there other reasons?
Anyway, since it's already happened, let's just enjoy it.

Today's cool and aloof lady is still dressed in a relatively formal workplace outfit.

A sleeveless black suit vest paired with a light gray satin long skirt.

It exudes a simple and capable style while maintaining elegance.

However, today's "elegance" has become somewhat disheveled.

Most men simply couldn't handle it.

Perhaps sensing something, Qin Yuennan blushed slightly and escaped from Lin Shen's embrace, looking extremely embarrassed and annoyed.

"You're up to no good again."

"Have no idea."

Lin Shen spread his hands helplessly.

"Who told someone to say they hated me, but then suddenly kiss me?"

"Besides, you know how charming you are, I can't resist you."

"Humph."

Qin Yuennan gave a cold snort on the surface, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and even her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Lin Shen's praise pleased her greatly.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan decided to put aside his affair with Jiang Wan for the time being and confront him after the investigation was completed.

Maybe it's all a misunderstanding?

However, the probability of that happening is quite low...

"Let's go."

Qin Yuennan picked up the flowers and her bag, humming a little tune, and left the office in a cheerful mood.

"I don't want to drive anymore, you give me a ride."

"what?"

Lin Shen was somewhat puzzled.

"If you don't drive, how will you get to work tomorrow? Should I pick you up from your house?"

"Idiot!" Qin Yuenan glanced at Lin Shen with a slightly embarrassed and annoyed look, her cheeks gradually turning red.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shen suddenly realized what was happening and coughed lightly a few times.

"Actually, my house is quite big. Would you like to come and see it?"

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan lowered her eyes, took Lin Shen's hand, and said softly.

"Thank you for picking me up from get off work today."

Actually, such a small thing shouldn't have moved Qin Yuening so much.

But she had a lot of frustration at work today, and her relationship has also been strained by suspicion and rifts.

A combination of factors caused Qin Yuennan's thoughts to become agitated and chaotic, and her originally independent heart felt confused and helpless.

This is the time when she most needs to rely on others and be cared for.

Coincidentally, Lin Shen arrived.

When Qin Yuennan saw the person she loved most standing at the door waiting for her to get off work, she understood everything and felt that it didn't matter how much she suffered.

As for whether Lin Shen might have ambiguous relationships with other women?
Ah!
Qin Yuennan felt a surge of disdain.

Even if Lin Shen has many women around him, his only official girlfriend will always be himself!
It can only be myself!

Qin Yuennan was fully confident about this.

She felt she wouldn't lose to anyone!

So your name is Jiang Wan, right?
Let me see how you managed to seduce my man!

9pm.

Sunac Riverside No. 1 Courtyard.

As Lin Shen drove Qin Yuennan into the residential area, her gaze towards the window grew increasingly surprised.

Evergreen trees are arranged in a pleasing, orderly fashion, interspersed with shrubs that have been pruned into various shapes.

The magnificent building's exterior walls are painted in black and gold, paired with marble slabs on the ground, giving it a dignified and grand appearance.

Moreover, because each street light is equipped with a mosquito-repellent device, the entire community is exceptionally quiet at night, with almost no insect chirping or bird calls.

“Nice environment.”

Qin Yuennan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Although she knew that No. 1 Courtyard stood out among the many high-end residential communities in Shanghai because of its excellent community environment.

But I never expected it to be this good!

Both the landscaping and the interior design exude an air of unparalleled elegance, revealing luxurious details everywhere.

Of course, this also comes with hefty property management fees.

"Why don't you buy one too?"

Lin Shen rubbed the steering wheel with his left hand, and after passing the dazzling starry sky roof, drove the car into the underground parking garage.

"It seems like the house next door to me is for sale."

"I can't afford it."

Having spent so much time with Lin Shen, Qin Yuening naturally learned how to joke around with him.

"You really think I'm rich? I'm very poor right now, all I have left in my bank account are a few million dollars."

"Then I'll take care of you."

Lin Shen used a classic line from Stephen Chow, which made Qin Yuennan smile.

"Okay, once I quit my job, I'll wait for you to support me."

"You want to resign?"

After parking the car, Lin Shen looked at Qin Yuennan with considerable surprise.

"real or fake?"

"Why would I lie to you about this?"

After Qin Yuennan got out of the car, she took Lin Shen's arm and let out a soft hum.

"I even wrote my resignation letter today."

"What happened?"

Lin Shen frowned slightly, his expression filled with worry.

"Is that old woman causing trouble again?"

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan walked into the elevator with Lin Shen and briefly confided her grievances to him.

Although boyfriends and girlfriends can vent their emotions to each other and help each other.

But it can't keep collapsing forever!

If things continue like this, the once close relationship will inevitably develop cracks sooner or later.

We are all adults and should learn to relieve stress ourselves.

Qin Yuennan was well aware of this, so she only complained lightly for a few minutes.

But Lin Shen could tell from her words just how much pressure she was under.

Being a CEO is definitely not an easy job!
Lin Shen sighed softly to himself.

Ding dong——!
As soon as the elevator reached the 21st floor, Lin Shen opened the door to room 2102 with his facial recognition, and the lights inside the room lit up one by one, from the entrance hall to the living room.

In an instant, the luxurious interior decoration was fully displayed in front of Qin Yuennan, making her eyes light up instantly.

The black and white color scheme exudes a noble feel, reflecting an Italian-style understated luxury décor.

Every detail exudes elegance and prestige.

In addition, the huge 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony offer a panoramic view of the beautiful river scenery and the rows of neon-lit skyscrapers.

"How about it?"

After finding Qin Yuennan a pair of slippers, Lin Shen placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, pretending to be a "waiter".

"Welcome, Ms. Qin, to your beloved boyfriend's home. You are the third lady to enter here."

Third place?
Qin Yuennan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that besides Jiang Wan, someone else has visited Lin Shen's house?
Seeing Qin Yuennan's increasingly resentful expression, Lin Shen teased her.

"The first two are the landlord and the salesperson."

"You find it fun to mess with me, don't you!"

Qin Yuenan playfully punched Lin Shen's arm, then changed into slippers and looked around at the interior of the large apartment, praising it repeatedly.

"It's really pretty good, over 30 million seems like a good deal."

"Would you like to move in with us?"

"No."

Qin Yuenan decisively refused, and seeing Lin Shen's disappointment, she immediately complained in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"If I move in with you, you won't even be able to get out of bed! I won't give you the chance to throw me away when you're tired of me!"

"How could I possibly do that?"

Lin Shen stepped forward, embraced Qin Yuennan, and said with deep affection.

"Even if I throw away other women, I will never throw away you, Sister Nan."

"Fine! So you admit you have other women, right?"

Qin Yuennan gently twisted Lin Shen's ear, then wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and said fiercely.

"If you dare to abandon me, I'll kill myself!"

"..."

Are emotions this heavy?

Lin Shen silently complained in his heart, but he felt a surge of warmth more than anything else.

"Don't worry, Sister Nan. By the way, I'll show you a big treasure."

big baby?
Qin Yuennan was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face flushed red. This explanation could easily lead people to misunderstand.

Is this about to begin?
Lin Shen didn't realize Qin Yuennan's attempt to kiss him. Instead, he went to his study, retrieved a file folder, and excitedly waved it around.

"Look! Our company registration is complete!"

"..."

Qin Yuennan blinked her beautiful eyes, her tense body instantly relaxed, and she sighed helplessly, her tone devoid of any emotion.

"Really? That's wonderful."

"Take a look and see if there's anything else you're missing."

Lin Shen pulled Qin Yuennan to sit at the dining table, and under the warm yellow ambient lighting, he opened the file folder and took out the documents one by one.

"This is the business license I just received today, and this is..."

Seeing Lin Shen's energetic appearance, Qin Yuennan's lips inexplicably curved into a smile, her eyes filled with deep admiration and joy.

He's truly one of a kind when it comes to being so proactive in starting a business!

When others start a business, they are all very cautious and walk on thin ice, afraid that one wrong step will lead to a series of mistakes.

But Lin Shen was different.

He's the kind of reckless guy who just closes his eyes and gets to work, doing things first and thinking later.

But they were not reckless or impulsive; instead, they carefully planned and took each step steadily, moving forward according to their own plans.

This is also one of the things about Lin Shen's personality that deeply attracted Qin Yuennan.

Their business acumen and business sense are exceptional.

He possesses the youthful vigor of a young man, yet also displays maturity and composure.

No wonder he can earn tens of millions; there's a reason for it.

Qin Yuennan smiled knowingly, resting her chin on her hand, and took the documents Lin Shen handed her, examining them one by one, accepting the joy he shared.

"The paperwork looks complete; it seems like nothing is missing."

"That's good."

Lin Shen took a bottle of Spanish Pingus from the refrigerator, and then went to the kitchen to find two wine glasses.

Since he had already drunk half a glass, he could fill the cups for both of them without needing to let them breathe.

"Sister Nan, can you taste this red wine to see if it's authentic?"

Lin Shen smiled and pushed his wine glass towards Qin Yuennan.

"I bought it from an offline wine merchant through Douyin, I don't know if it's genuine."

"how much is it?"

"Nine thousand a bottle, if it's not authentic, I'll challenge him to a battle offline."

The prices are about the same.

Qin Yuennan took a sip of red wine, savored it for a moment, and then nodded.

"It tastes a bit astringent, but that's how Pingus is; it's genuine."

"That's good."

Lin Shen sat opposite Qin Yuennan, clinked glasses with her, and chuckled softly.

"Partners, shall we drink to the successful launch of our company?"

Pfft!
Qin Yuennan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She raised the glass of red wine in her hand and looked at Lin Shen with a languid expression.

"cheers."

"Oh, right, there's another contract that needs your signature, Sister Nan."

After finishing almost the entire bottle of red wine with Qin Yuennan, Lin Shen brought out a contract and a pen from the study.

Just as I was about to introduce myself, she didn't even look at the page, turned to the last page, and signed her name.

This surprised Lin Shen slightly.

"Sister Nan, aren't you going to read the details of the contract?"

"The shareholders' agreement, right? No need to look at it."

Qin Yuennan pushed the contract back in front of Lin Shen, her expression slightly tipsy, her beautiful eyes dreamy, her cheeks flushed with a hint of intoxication, and her voice languid and alluring.

"Do you think I'm afraid you'll sell me out?"

"That certainly won't happen."

Qin Yuennan's unconditional trust in him warmed Lin Shen's heart, so he walked behind her, bent down and hugged her affectionately.

"I can't bear it."

"If you can't bear to part with it..."

Qin Yuennan turned her head and said in a low, charming voice.

"So you're not planning to do anything to me tonight?"
