Huh?

Lin Ping was a little stunned.

After all, she was naturally shy. Something this bold was truly beyond her imagination.

But upon careful consideration, she realized what Lin Shen said wasn’t wrong.

...

Lin Ping bit her lip. Under the soft light of the dining room, her pretty, flushed face was faintly visible.

But soon, this beautiful woman made her decision.

The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth tilted up. To prevent any accidents, he went and turned off all the lights in the house.

Only the cool moonlight remained, spilling through the window and draping a thin, silver veil over all the furniture.

That included Lin Ping’s stunning face, which still held a mature, exquisite, and gentle allure.

「9:30 PM.」

Shen Mingchuan, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly jolted awake with a violent shudder, feeling as if he had just fallen from a great height.

’Did I fall asleep?’

Shen Mingchuan looked around with sleepy, hazy eyes. In the pitch-black darkness, he realized he was slumped over the dining table.

And next to him, a figure was sitting.

!?

Shen Mingchuan jumped in fright, the alcoholic haze in his mind instantly clearing by more than half.

He rubbed his eyes. When he took a closer look and recognized the person next to him, his expression turned to one of astonishment.

"President Lin?"

"You’re awake?"

Lin Shen turned his head and smiled faintly, which made Shen Mingchuan suddenly feel extremely embarrassed.

"Sorry, President Lin! I must have dozed off. Where’s Ping?"

"She went to put Anan to sleep."

Lin Shen gestured with his chin toward the inner room, making Shen Mingchuan exceptionally happy.

’Ping is actually willing to stay at my place?’

’This is great!’

’Even though she’s just in Anan’s room, it’s enough to prove that the resentment in her heart is slowly fading.’

’As long as Ping is willing to come back to this home, I have a 100% chance of getting back together with her!’

"Hehe."

Shen Mingchuan couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, then immediately tried to cozy up to Lin Shen again.

"President Lin, it’s so late. Why don’t you stay the night here? I’ll sleep on the sofa, and you can take the king-sized bed in the master bedroom."

"Alright," Lin Shen said with a grin, his eyes narrowing.

Shen Mingchuan swayed as he stood up. Just as he was about to turn on the lights, Lin Shen stopped him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Just go straight to bed."

"Okay, then you get some rest too, President Lin."

Although he was a bit puzzled as to why Lin Shen wanted to stay in such a dark place, Shen Mingchuan had only one thought right now: sleep!

’So sleepy!’

The physical and mental exhaustion made Shen Mingchuan’s steps unsteady. After reaching the sofa, he collapsed onto it with a loud THUD.

Before long, his earth-shattering snores started up again.

Lin Shen observed for a moment. Seeing that Shen Mingchuan wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He looked down under the table. Once his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could faintly make out the stunning woman kneeling on the cold floor.

"Come on out. He’s gone to sleep."

Lin Shen gently stroked Lin Ping’s head, causing her to bite her lip.

Lin Ping crawled out from under the table. After standing up, she first straightened her disheveled hip-hugging skirt before looking worriedly toward the sofa.

"Let’s go. To the master bedroom. There’s something I want to discuss with you."

Lin Shen took a step forward, wrapping his arm around Lin Ping’s sexy waist, which was accentuated by her skirt.

However, her delicate body trembled, her flustered expression filled with a trace of conflict.

Seeing this, Lin Shen raised an eyebrow.

"What’s wrong? Still not mentally prepared?"

Lin Ping bit her lip, then mumbled softly.

"Um... I’m going to the bathroom to rinse my mouth."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

Lin Shen smiled faintly and was the first to walk into the master bedroom.

Its overall layout was simple, with cozy decor.

But because Shen Mingchuan had been living here alone for the past few years, the room was a bit of a mess.

The comforter on the double bed was balled up in a corner, various charging cables were piled up next to the pillow, and the nightstand held an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts.

This made Lin Shen, who hated the smell of smoke, frown slightly. He suddenly felt a little reluctant to sleep in this master bedroom.

Fortunately, however, there was a surprise.

Hanging on the wall right above the headboard was an exquisite wedding photo. A "younger version" of Lin Ping, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, looked exceptionally beautiful.

Her makeup was exquisite, her features were well-proportioned, and her figure was impressive.

Overall, she seemed to be about one tier below Qin Yuenan and Jiang Wan, but among ordinary people, she was definitely considered beautiful.

She was probably sought after by many men in her youth.

In the wedding photo, Lin Ping was seated next to a standing Shen Mingchuan. Her expression held none of the sorrow now etched between her brows—only anticipation for her new married life and profound happiness.

Unfortunately, things were not what they used to be.

Lin Shen opened the window to air out the room, then sat on the edge of the bed and took out his phone. He was surprised to find dozens of comments on Xiaohongshu.

The number of likes had even surpassed one hundred.

’The Big Blue Book’s Decryption Effect for increasing traffic is this good?’

Lin Shen was a little surprised. It felt like he wouldn’t need to spend his own money to buy traffic anymore.

He just needed to complete missions to upgrade the Big Blue Book, and it would grow into a future "King of Traffic"!

But along with this came a new problem for Lin Shen.

And that was whether or not he should appear on camera himself in the future.

After all, fame brings trouble these days. The more famous you are, the more public scrutiny you’re under. The slightest misstep could lead to a complete loss of reputation.

’If a scumbag like me got famous, I’d probably be condemned by the entire internet, right?’

Lin Shen chuckled and decided not to show his face online in the future. Instead, he would earn traffic in a different way.

He would use the name "Warm Claw Nest Cat Cafe"!

That way, he could attract popularity to his own shop and complete Shuaiyang’s mission. It was the best of both worlds!

Lin Shen opened Xiaohongshu. Just as he expected, the comments below his post were a uniform wave of mockery and insults.
