Hainan?

Inside the Maybach S680, Xu Lei, who was driving, was overjoyed to hear that Lin Shen planned to take her with him to Hainan.

However, upon closer reflection, his next statement was:

"Get ready."

What preparations should be made?
Could it be something like that?
Xu Lei pursed her lips, her heart filled with turmoil.

There was trepidation, anticipation, and nervousness, but there was no refusal.

From the moment she became Lin Shen's secretary, Xu Lei was prepared to dedicate herself to him.

She used to disdain using relationships between men and women to climb the social ladder; otherwise, she wouldn't have dated Zhang Xu for so long.

But after living and working in Shanghai, Xu Lei suddenly realized that she was still too ordinary.

Being ordinary enough to survive is considered a success.

When Xu Lei realized that she could not overcome class barriers on her own, her resolve began to waver.

Coupled with the marriage incentive provided by Zhang Xu, he actually persuaded her to go back to his hometown to live with him!

I finally managed to establish myself in a first-tier city, and you want me to go back to this remote mountain village with you?

Xu Lei was extremely unwilling.

That's why she made up her mind to become Lin Shen's secretary.

She had already anticipated what this meant.

And that is indeed the case.

Since becoming Lin Shen's secretary, my salary has increased from seven or eight thousand a month to twenty thousand.

The benefits package includes lunch, overtime pay, holiday bonuses, and vacation time, making it arguably one of the best companies in Shanghai.

Lin Shen even arranged rent for her.

That's a huge expense in Shanghai; it can save you tens of thousands of yuan!

This made Xu Lei's heart flutter, and she gradually felt that the decision she had made should be the right one.

Lin Shen is handsome, young, rich, and most importantly, capable.

With so many excellent qualities combined, it's enough to cover up his philandering flaws.

Besides, for me, his womanizing ways are just too good to be true!

If he were truly devoted to President Qin, then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to transcend social classes.

Becoming his mistress was absolutely the right thing to do!

Xu Lei's heart gradually stirred, and even her voice carried a hint of joy due to her secret delight.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll be ready. When shall we depart?"

"Just pack your things, that's all. You don't need much. I'll take care of everything over there."

Lin Shen loosely clenched his right fist and pressed it against his cheek, resting his elbow on the edge of the car window, crossing his legs, looking quite elegant.

"Have you sorted out your fiancé situation?"

"I've completely broken things off with him."

Xu Lei quickly answered and stated her position, fearing that Lin Shen would dislike her because of this.

"I am now your secretary."

"I know."

Lin Shen yawned, and seeing that he looked a little sleepy, Xu Lei immediately switched the Maybach S680 to a quiet and comfortable mode.

As her secretary, she knew Lin Shen's lifestyle very well.

He is usually very energetic and rarely yawns.

Once he does this, it means he's not tired, but wants to calm down and rest, and doesn't want to talk.

Xu Lei was also very savvy; she immediately turned on the car's air freshener and switched the car's music to the light music that Lin Shen liked best.

As the soothing melody slowly drifted in, Lin Shen gently moved his right hand on the armrest, a faint smile playing on his lips.

As expected, Xu Lei was the right choice for secretary.

You really understand me.

Room 1203, Building 5, Anxi Garden

The small house, which is over 60 square meters, is filled with a warm and comforting atmosphere.

An'an was playing with toys in the living room, while Lin Ping was cooking in the kitchen.

After Zhao Ya came out of the toilet, she saw this and walked to the kitchen door and said softly.

"Ah Ping, let me do it. You've worked hard."

"It's okay, Mom, it's not hard."

Lin Ping turned her head and smiled, but Zhao Ya took the initiative to come over and insisted on cooking, which made Lin Ping feel a little helpless.

"Mom, you just need to help out."

"Let me do it."

Zhao Ya smiled and teased.

"How can we let the company's general manager cook?"

"Mom, you're teasing me again."

Lin Ping pouted slightly, and Zhao Ya couldn't help but laugh at her childlike behavior.

"I never knew you had this side to you. That saying is true, being in love makes you childish."

"It's not about dating."

Lin Ping smiled and walked to Zhao Ya's side, chuckling softly.

"I've always been your daughter."

"You."

Zhao Ya smiled indulgently and then asked.

"Are things at the company going fairly busy?"

"I'm quite busy."

Lin Ping said softly.

"President Lin recently announced the arrangements for Singles' Day, so he'll be busy these days and may have to work overtime often, which is why I called you, Mom, from our hometown."

"I see."

Zhao Ya said softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, but there's one thing I have to say: don't take advantage of your good relationship with President Lin to slack off. Help him a lot in his career, understand? That way you can gain a foothold and prevent him from being snatched away by others."

"Know it."

Lin Ping said half-jokingly.

"Mom, didn't you say before that what I did was immoral? Why has your attitude changed so quickly now?"

"Do you really think your mother is willing to teach you these things?"

Zhao Ya turned around and glanced at Lin Ping before letting out a soft sigh.

"No matter what, you are still my daughter. All I see is that you are living a better life with Lin Shen than with Shen Mingchuan. That's all that matters. I don't care about anything else."

"Thank you, Mom, for understanding me~"

Lin Ping smiled slightly, but at that moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.

This surprised her for a moment.

Who could be looking for me so late?

Lin Ping opened the door with curiosity, and the person in front of her made her widen her beautiful eyes.

"Hello."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"Is it too much for me to come and freeload dinner?"

"..."

Lin Ping didn't even realize it was Lin Shen.

After all, he came without saying a word or even giving a greeting, which was a big surprise for Lin Ping.

"President Lin! What brings you here!?"

Lin Ping covered her mouth with one hand in amazement, then immediately stepped aside to let Lin Shen in, and even half-squatted down to get him slippers.

"Brother Lin Shen!?"

Upon seeing Lin Shen, An An stopped playing with her toys and ran over for a hug, looking incredibly adorable. Lin Shen, of course, did as she wished, picking her up and playfully pinching her soft little cheeks.

"An'an, your brother hasn't come to see you lately. How have you been?"

"Of course! My grandma is coming to keep me company."

Hearing the noise in the living room, Zhao Ya opened the kitchen door and then somewhat awkwardly wiped her hands on her apron.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived."

"Hello, Auntie."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, which made Zhao Ya even more nervous than when she first met him.

After all, she had already fully understood Lin Shen's prowess from her own daughter.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are from several social classes higher than them.

It's incredibly rare for someone like that to have a meal at an ordinary family's home!
So Zhao Ya quickly said.

"I didn't know you were coming, Mr. Lin. Let me make a few more dishes. Please sit on the sofa and have a cup of tea while we wait."

"Okay, not too much. I'm just here to keep An'an company."

After changing into slippers, Lin Shen smiled and carried An An to the living room to play with her.

This heartwarming scene touched Lin Ping, and a feeling of happiness instantly enveloped her restless heart, even making her want to cry.

Not long ago, she was still living with An'an in a cramped rented room, worrying about making a living.

As a result, in just a few months, An'an was admitted to what is considered the best public kindergarten in Shanghai, and the family's life was secured, with their quality of life even being much better than when they got married.

They moved to a bigger house, and An'an now has an older brother to keep her company.

Lin Ping knew very well that the dramatic changes in her life were all thanks to Lin Shen.

It is because of his existence that I have been able to have such a happy life.

Lin Ping's eyes were filled with tenderness. She quickly opened the refrigerator and took out some vegetables to cook.

Seeing that her daughter was coming to help, Zhao Ya did not refuse this time.

After all, we can't keep Lin Shen waiting for too long.

So, in just over half an hour, the original two dishes and one soup turned into five dishes and one soup, including Lin Shen's favorite spicy chicken.

"Mr. Lin, An'an, dinner's ready."

Lin Ping came to the living room to call the two of them for dinner, only to find that An An was holding several thick stacks of red envelopes.

If we calculate based on 10,000 yuan per stack, then there are a total of 30,000 yuan!

"Mom, my brother gave me a present!"

An'an excitedly showed Lin Ping the red envelope in her hand, which startled Lin Ping. She quickly snatched the red envelope away and intended to return it to Lin Shen.

"President Lin, this money is too valuable, we can't accept it."

"It's not for you."

Lin Shen's attitude was somewhat angry, which frightened Lin Ping, who quickly returned the red envelope to An An and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, but I feel that you have been too good to my daughter and me. You usually subsidize our living expenses, and we feel really bad accepting the money now."

"It's alright, just consider it payment for my dinner tonight."

With over 200 million yuan more in his account, Lin Shen naturally wouldn't care about these tens of thousands of yuan.

But for Lin Ping, this was already a lot.

Therefore, she felt very embarrassed to accept the red envelope, but Lin Shen would get angry if she didn't.

After some hesitation, she thanked him repeatedly, her beautiful eyes glistening with emotion.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for being so kind to An'an."

"You are welcome."

Lin Shen stood up and stretched, then went to the dining room. Looking at the table full of home-style dishes, he rubbed his stomach and chuckled.

"As expected, Lin Ping, your cooking is really appetizing."

"Then please eat more."

Lin Ping quickly arranged for Lin Shen to sit down, and while giving her chopsticks, she also served him a bowl of rice.

Soon, the group sat down together like a family to enjoy dinner and chat casually.

Aside from everyday family matters, Lin Shen and Lin Ping mainly discussed work-related issues, which made Zhao Ya feel like she was being a bit redundant.

However, Lin Shen was quite eloquent, and when they talked about everyday things, he brought Zhao Ya into the conversation, which made her feel special towards this young man again.

Despite holding a high position, he is extremely mature in his dealings with others.

No wonder he was able to build Shennan Company from scratch.

Zhao Ya admired Lin Shen somewhat.

……

8 pm.

As dinner drew to a close, Lin Shen sat on the living room sofa drinking tea, while Lin Ping helped her mother wash the dishes and clear the table.

Seeing that the smile on her daughter's lips hadn't faded since Lin Shen entered the room, Zhao Ya knew that her daughter had truly fallen for Lin Shen.

So while she was washing the dishes, she nudged Lin Ping with her elbow and whispered.

"Lin Shen must have something to say to you. I'll do the dishes here. Go and keep him company."

"Oh."

Lin Ping blushed slightly, then obediently took off her apron, washed her hands, and carried the teapot to the living room. She sat down next to Lin Shen, intending to pour him some water.

"Mr. Lin, would you like some more water?"

"it is good."

Lin Shen smiled and handed the water glass to Lin Ping, then asked with concern.

Is your mother settling in well here?

"pretty good."

Lin Ping replied.

“I’ve been busy with work lately, so she’s been helping me take care of An’an. She’s getting used to living at home.”

"Let me know if the room is too small."

Lin Shen reached out and pulled Lin Ping into his arms, speaking softly.

"I'll get you a bigger house."

"No need, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Ping said hurriedly.

“My mom sleeps in the master bedroom with me at night, so I can sleep comfortably.”

"That's good."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, and his right hand, which was on Lin Ping's side, slid down to her upturned buttocks on the sofa and stroked them, causing her pretty face to blush slightly.

After all, her mother and An'an were still at home. Although both of them knew about her relationship with Lin Shen, Lin Ping was obviously ashamed to be intimate with Lin Shen in front of them.

However, she also deeply longed for Lin Shen's affection.

Especially since she hadn't seen Lin Shen for a while, Lin Ping missed Lin Shen's muscular physique and unfathomable energy every day.

For a time, she even watched intimate videos of the two of them to pass the lonely and long nights.

Faced with Lin Shen's large hand caressing her, Lin Ping's delicate body trembled, and the fiery desire in her heart was instantly ignited. She even involuntarily leaned towards Lin Shen.

This is a very obvious physiological preference response; the genes in the body automatically seek out people who match them.

So Lin Ping nestled quietly in Lin Shen's arms, enjoying a moment of peace and happiness she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Whether it was her inner emotions or her deep longing for Lin Shen, Lin Ping leaned on Lin Shen's shoulder, suddenly raised her head, and gazed at Lin Shen with her misty, beautiful eyes, saying something profound.

"Mr. Lin, I'd like to stay out with you tonight."

"What? You're not staying home to take care of An'an anymore?"

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile. Although he knew very well what Lin Ping's beautiful face, flushed with a hint of pink, meant, he pretended not to know and teased the sexy young woman who was already aroused.

She leaned against Lin Shen's chest, wriggling her delicate body, and said softly.

“An’an is being taken care of by my mother, so my family doesn’t need me. So, Mr. Lin, is it alright? I think I might…”

"I see."

Lin Shen coughed lightly twice, which delighted Lin Ping, who thought he had agreed.

The next second, Lin Shen's words left Lin Ping stunned.

"In that case, we don't need to stay elsewhere. I'll stay at your place tonight." (End of Chapter)
