Huh?

Lin Shen’s expression faltered. He suddenly realized that Shen Yun’s tone, which had been full of melancholy and helplessness just a moment ago, had become much softer.

And the look in her eyes had changed, too.

They had gone from showing anger and endless resentment at the start to a pair of sultry, glistening eyes whose gaze seemed to cling to him.

At that moment, Lin Shen finally understood what the ancients meant when they described a woman’s "peach blossom eyes."

Utterly enchanting and infinitely charming.

They seemed to hold countless stories, but every single one of them was about you.

That perfectly described the look in Shen Yun’s eyes right now.

That, combined with the faint, bewitching smile playing at the corners of her mouth...

It sent an involuntary shiver down Lin Shen’s spine, and he could almost feel a dull ache in his lower back...

’Don’t tell me I’ve been targeted by a mature woman?’

Lin Shen muttered to himself. Shen Yun, on the other hand, made no effort to hide the fondness in her eyes. After staring at him intently for a long moment, she chuckled.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-five."

"It’s great to be young. I already had kids by the time I was your age. You must have a girlfriend, right?"

"I do."

"Several?"

"Well..."

Lin Shen awkwardly took a sip of water. In front of a worldly and sophisticated woman like Shen Yun, lying was not a good option.

’Perhaps honesty would win me more points.’

"It’s fine, I understand. After all, once you get rich, plenty of girls are bound to chase after you."

"Especially since you’re so exceptional—handsome and capable."

"I’m actually pretty ordinary."

Seeing Lin Shen’s bashful, embarrassed expression, Shen Yun felt no disgust at his playboy, scumbag ways. On the contrary, she rested her chin in her hand and gazed at him with a smile, a hint of affection swirling in her eyes.

"You’re not ordinary at all... Speaking of which, with so many girls, can you handle them all?"

"I’m pretty good at time management."

Lin Shen cleared his throat, suddenly puzzled.

"Don’t you think there’s a problem with what I’m doing? After all, you got divorced because your ex-husband cheated on you."

"I used to think it was a huge problem, but I’ve moved on."

Shen Yun sighed.

"As long as you don’t get married, what’s the harm in playing the field? We only have about eighty years on this earth. The key is to enjoy yourself while you can. Everything else should be thrown to the wind."

"Nothing else is real. The only thing that matters is treating yourself well!"

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Lin Shen nodded in agreement, cutting a small piece of steak and putting it in his mouth. He’d barely chewed a few times before Shen Yun’s next words made him choke.

"Also, when I asked if you could ’handle’ them, I wasn’t talking about your time. I was talking about your body."

COUGH COUGH!

Seeing Lin Shen coughing his lungs out, Shen Yun thoughtfully handed him a napkin, her peach blossom eyes gleaming with a captivating light.

"I can see you have a well-proportioned figure—narrow waist, broad shoulders. You must work out, right? Your arms have a nice width, and the outline of your pecs is very defined..."

"..."

If Lin Shen had been even slightly suspicious of Shen Yun’s intentions at first...

...now, a single look into her tender, bewitching eyes was all it took to reach a conclusion.

’She’s got designs on me!’

"I like to work out, too. Perhaps we could exchange notes sometime."

Shen Yun smiled. Just as she was about to continue her... in-depth discussion with Lin Shen, a message arrived for both of them from Wang Li.

[Wang Li: President Shen, we’ve drafted the contract. The relevant personnel are all here.]

[Shen Yun: Okay.]

"Let’s go."

Although her time alone with Lin Shen had been brief, business came first.

Shen Yun picked up her bag and smiled at him.

"Wang Li is ready. Shall we head back?"

"Okay."

As Lin Shen stood up, Shen Yun swayed her hips and drew close, naturally linking her arm with his as if they were a couple of many years.

He couldn’t help but freeze for a second.

"What’s wrong?"

Noticing the slight tremor that went through Lin Shen’s body, Shen Yun’s lips curled into a barely-there smile.

"Do you mind me holding your arm?"

"Not at all."

Lin Shen smiled on the outside, but inwardly, he was screaming.

’You call this just "holding" my arm?’

It was the first time Lin Shen had ever felt what it was like to be taken advantage of by a female rogue. Fortunately, Shen Yun wasn’t being too aggressive. The light in her eyes seemed to take on a physical form, brimming with delight and excitement.

"Your body really is amazing. I just wonder..."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

’So even at my age, I can still attract him a little...’

Shen Yun was secretly delighted.

’In that case, this will be easy!’

Upon leaving the restaurant, Shen Yun released Lin Shen’s arm.

After getting in the car, the two of them returned to the Lizxing customer service center.

It wasn’t just Wang Li who came out to greet them; a lawyer and a representative from the notary office were there as well.

"President Lin, President Shen, this way, please."

After ushering Lin Shen and Shen Yun into the VIP lounge, the group sat on the sofas and began to discuss the various procedures and the contract signing.

"This is the real estate purchase agreement... and this is the escrow agreement. President Lin will first transfer the purchase price of 28.92 million to our escrow account. Once the property transfer is complete, we will release the funds to you, President Shen."

"Okay."

Before making the payment, Lin Shen first tapped the Dream Real Estate Card on his phone.

[Host detected engaging in a real estate purchase. Activating ten-fold amount expansion for purchase price and taxes. Please transfer the relevant funds directly to the corresponding accounts.]

[Purchase Price: 2.892 million (Pending Payment), Taxes: 302,000 (Pending Payment)]

Understanding the rules, Lin Shen immediately contacted Jiang He and had him handle the wire transfer. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

DING—!

"We’ve received the payment on our end."

About five minutes later, after the bank sent a confirmation text, Wang Li showed it to Lin Shen with a smile.
