Chapter 358 - 191: The Tables Have Turned

"Okay."

A happy smile graced Qin Yuenan’s lips, but the constant buzzing from her phone was slightly disrupting the atmosphere between them.

This made Lin Shen a little curious.

"You’ve already quit, but you’re still so busy with work?"

"You think this is work?"

Qin Yuenan raised an eyebrow. She opened her phone and showed Lin Shen her WeChat, revealing that the messages were all from friends and family.

[Sister: Nannan, you found a boyfriend? For real? I’m flying back to the country right now!]

[Mom: Nannan, I saw the picture you posted on your Moments of you holding a boy’s hand. Is he your boyfriend? What does he do? Why don’t you bring him home for me to meet?]

[Distributor: You there? The picture you posted on your Moments, was that taken at Lameloise? The setting looks really similar.]

...

"So that’s what’s going on."

Lin Shen’s expression cleared with understanding, and he chuckled teasingly.

"Looks like everyone is pretty surprised you found a boyfriend."

"Well, I announced I had a boyfriend right after I quit. What do you think people are going to assume?"

Qin Yuenan winked playfully, which made Lin Shen pause for a second before giving a helpless smile.

"You really set me up!"

"Serves you right for hiring a female secretary behind my back. Hmph!"

Qin Yuenan huffed softly. She then muted her phone, took Lin Shen’s hand firmly under the table, and gazed at him affectionately.

"Don’t feel too much pressure. I’ll handle my family and convince them. You don’t have to worry about it. Just focus on doing your own thing."

"Mhm."

Qin Yuenan’s words reminded Lin Shen of a popular idea he’d recently seen online:

If a girl truly likes you, she will overcome any and all obstacles to be with you.

"Thank you."

Lin Shen said with deep emotion. Qin Yuenan quickly raised her right index finger, pressing it gently against his lips as she spoke softly.

"Today is about just the two of us. Do you remember what you promised me?"

?

Seeing that Lin Shen was a little confused, Qin Yuenan leaned in and whispered in his ear, her red lips close.

"Let me check if you’ve been ’snacking’ on the side lately."

??

Lin Shen froze for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"With your skills, Nan, I doubt you’d be able to find anything, right? Aren’t you always the one who gives up and begs for mercy first?"

"The roles are reversed this time."

Qin Yuenan lifted her delicate chin haughtily. Though her face was flushed, her expression was still defiant.

"Anything your senior can do, I can do too!"

’What can his senior do?’

Lin Shen didn’t quite understand what Qin Yuenan meant, and she didn’t elaborate, only giving him a meaningful look.

After dinner, Qin Yuenan insisted on paying the bill, then left Lameloise with her arm linked through Lin Shen’s.

As for the battlefield, she chose her place.

Lin Shen had originally planned to go home and pack his luggage, but the high-and-mighty goddess’s invitation was just too passionate to refuse.

No choice. He had to hand in his homework first and worry about the rest tomorrow morning.

SLAM—!

「9:00 PM.」

「Jiayu Pavilion, Building 5, Apartment 1602.」

The moment they were inside, Lin Shen impatiently pinned Qin Yuenan against the wall. He kissed her soft, red lips while caressing her full, perky, peachy bottom through the silky satin fabric of her dress.

The longing from being apart for days finally overflowed tonight.

Besides, Lin Shen knew what Qin Yuenan liked, so he wasn’t worried that his aggressive approach would bother her.

And so, he became even more unrestrained.

A RUSTLING sound filled the quiet room.

"Wait!"

Before her senses were completely overwhelmed, Qin Yuenan pushed against Lin Shen’s firm chest and pleaded.

"Go outside for a minute. I’m going to change."

"You’re going to put on clothes at a time like this?"

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, realizing that Qin Yuenan might have prepared a "surprise," just like Jiang Wan and the others.

He chuckled and gave the high-and-mighty goddess’s pert bottom a playful pat before letting her go.

"Don’t keep me waiting too long."

...

Qin Yuenan’s face flushed. After Lin Shen left, she walked to her closet and took out a sealed clothing package.

It was the "battle armor" Zhao Jianing had recommended, one she claimed could completely ensnare any man’s soul.

Qin Yuenan had originally wanted to save this "trump card" for later, but Jiang Wan’s appearance had given her a profound sense of crisis.

’If I don’t do something more, I might lose my position!’

So, Qin Yuenan decided to try it on and see how it looked.

Before, Lin Shen had always been the one asking her to wear black stockings and Valentino.

But tonight, she was taking the initiative to change into a sexy nightgown.

It was a black lace slip, filled to the brim with playful allure.

The hem was just long enough to cover half of her perky bottom. Paired with Qin Yuenan’s stunning, slender legs, the whole nightgown looked a size too small.

Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that there was very little fabric, and what was there was a semi-transparent, light mesh.

When she put it on, her fair skin was tantalizingly visible, peeking through the fabric.

A large expanse of her smooth, beautiful back was exposed, and the front looked as if her breasts were caught in a fishing net. Standing in front of the mirror and examining herself, Qin Yuenan felt incredibly embarrassed, her cheeks burning hot.

’This is way too revealing!’

’No wonder it can capture a man’s soul.’

Qin Yuenan felt like she was about to fall in love with herself...

"Lin Shen is one lucky guy,"

Qin Yuenan mumbled with a blush, and for the final touch, she pulled a pair of garter belt stockings onto her long legs.

She had only ever tried regular black pantyhose at Lin Shen’s request before. This was her first time wearing a garter-style pair.

The overall feeling was a bit strange.

Garter stockings are a type of hosiery meant to elongate the legs visually and are best suited for more curvaceous women.

The essence of this type of stocking is the way the straps squeeze the flesh of the thighs!

But because Qin Yuenan exercised regularly, the muscles in her thighs were quite firm.

Her legs had smooth lines and a powerful look, making it difficult for the garters to leave an indentation.

On top of that, her legs were already so long that she didn’t need stockings to accentuate them.

Wearing them just made the garter straps look too long and out of sync with the whole outfit.

But if she didn’t wear them, it felt like something was missing.

In the end, Qin Yuenan decided not to take off the stockings. She sat on the edge of the bed and sent Lin Shen a message.

[Qin Yuenan: You can come in now.]

CREAK—!

The very next second after she sent the message, the master bedroom door was pushed open by Lin Shen, who seemed to have been waiting right outside for some time.

When he saw what Qin Yuenan was wearing, his eyes widened in astonishment.

It took him a moment to recover, and then he let out a "PFFT" of laughter.

This made the already mortified Qin Yuenan’s face turn as red as a ripe apple. She stood up, clenching her fists in embarrassed anger.

"What are you laughing at! Does this nightgown not look good on me?"

"It looks good, very good. It’s just... isn’t it a little too small?"

Lin Shen looked Qin Yuenan up and down, experiencing for the first time the disadvantage of long legs.

The nightgown’s hem was already short, and with her legs being so long, the proportions looked a bit off.

But it was fine. Those long legs in black stockings alone were enough to win the game.

Everything else was just icing on the cake.

"Nan, what made you decide to wear something like this tonight?"

Lin Shen stepped forward and pulled Qin Yuenan into his embrace. His hands roamed all over her body through the thin mesh fabric as he teased her with a smile.

"This isn’t really your style."

"Because I’m afraid another woman is going to steal you away, okay!"

Qin Yuenan blurted out her true feelings in a huff. She then snuggled into his arms, warming his heart.

"That’s impossible. Because in this whole world, there’s no woman with more Charm than you, Nan."

"Pah! Anyone can say nice things! You’ve probably tricked a lot of girls with sweet talk like that, haven’t you?"

Qin Yuenan spat lightly. She was still trying to act tough, but on the inside, she was already completely smitten by Lin Shen’s sweet words.

She gently unbuttoned her boyfriend’s shirt, her hands caressing his firm chest and abs, her eyes filled with greed and possessiveness.

’This man belongs to me!’

’No one can take him from me!’

Qin Yuenan stood on her tiptoes, hooked her arms around Lin Shen’s neck, and kissed him, pulling them both backward onto the bed.

But just as Lin Shen was about to strip off his clothes, she suddenly stopped him.

"Don’t take it off. You’re wearing your shirt tonight."

?

’That sounds a little weird...’

Lin Shen looked a bit puzzled, but he followed Qin Yuenan’s request and kept his shirt on.

Just as he was about to roll on top, the high-and-mighty goddess suddenly stood up, her face held in a cool, arrogant expression.

"It’s my turn today."

Qin Yuenan’s eyes were filled with defiance and challenge.

"I’m going to show you that I can satisfy you even more than that senior of yours!"
