For example, the formulas for puppy and kitten food are different from those for adult dogs and cats.

No wonder it’s called a compendium.

Lin Shen couldn’t contain his excitement and immediately sent a cat food formula to Shen Yun.

He thought that since it was so late, he wouldn’t get a reply until the next morning.

But to his surprise, Shen Yun accepted the file and replied instantly.

[Shen Yun: You’re such a workaholic! Still not resting this late?]

[Lin Shen: Just finished up some business. Feeling very inspired.]

Although Lin Shen planned to keep Shen Yun in suspense for a bit, he knew he still had to lay on the charm.

He knew this was exactly the kind of routine a beautiful, mature woman like her would appreciate.

Sure enough, not only was Shen Yun not put off by Lin Shen’s suggestive words, she even played along in her reply.

[Shen Yun: You don’t even forget to go on dates with other girls while you’re on a business trip? Sounds like you have a lot of stamina, having the energy for that after a long day (laughs)]

[Lin Shen: Of course. I don’t let work get in the way of play, or vice versa.]

The persona Lin Shen cultivated for Shen Yun was that of a bad boy, because only a bad boy could truly get into the heart of an experienced, mature woman like her.

They’ve seen all kinds of men and need stronger stimulation to spice up their quiet, post-divorce lives.

Lin Shen masterfully used this to get Shen Yun right where he wanted her, completely unconcerned that his philandering would displease her. In fact, his words grew even more flirtatious.

[Lin Shen: Aunt Shen, you’re still up this late. Is it because you miss me?]

[Shen Yun: I am. Auntie really does miss you.]

[Shen Yun: [Photo]]

[Shen Yun: Like it? It’s an outfit Auntie bought while shopping today. My taste hasn’t fallen out of touch with you young people, has it?]

!?

Lin Shen’s eyes widened slightly when he saw the photo Shen Yun sent.

A light gray, halter-style tube top paired with a matching tight, fishtail skirt, which clung perfectly to her graceful curves.

Shen Yun had even deliberately posed for a selfie in her bedroom mirror, showing off her full, plump bottom—her best asset—creating an extremely sensual and hazy atmosphere.

To be honest, Lin Shen was suddenly feeling interested in this rich, mature woman.

Although she was a bit older, her figure and skin were exceptionally well-maintained.

And most importantly, she was so shamelessly provocative!

Some couples would probably be too shy to send such suggestive photos, yet Shen Yun had sent it to Lin Shen without a second thought.

’Not bad!’

Lin Shen decisively saved the photo to his private album.

[Lin Shen: It’s very nice, Aunt Shen. I sent you the cat food formula. Can you help me convert a production line?]

[Shen Yun: You’re just changing the subject!]

Shen Yun’s reply was full of playful resentment and coquettish charm.

After all, every time Lin Shen managed to stir up that frisky side of her, he would douse the flames with a change of topic, leaving her hanging.

’So annoying!’

’We’d be in the middle of a flirty chat, and suddenly it’s all about work. Can’t we just stick to one thing?!’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[Shen Yun: If you keep this up, Auntie might not help you anymore.]

[Lin Shen: How about this: I’ll grant you one request, Aunt Shen. In exchange, you help me convert a production line?]

After Lin Shen sent the message, a long time passed before he received a reply.

[Shen Yun: Any request at all?]

[Lin Shen: Of course.]

A clever hunter often appears as the prey.

A slight smile touched Lin Shen’s lips. He had expected Shen Yun to use this chance to ask for a date or something similar, but her reply was unexpected.

[Shen Yun: My daughter is starting school soon, and my ex-husband wants to see her. When that happens, could you free up a day to accompany Auntie?]

’Huh?’

Lin Shen carefully considered Shen Yun’s words and analyzed her likely motive.

’She just wants to show off in front of her ex-husband. To prove that her life is just as good, if not better, after their divorce.’

Otherwise, Lin Shen couldn’t think of any other reason why she would invite an outsider like him to such an awkward gathering.

[Lin Shen: Fine.]

Lin Shen didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, he just had to show up to get a pet food production line worth millions in return.

’What could be a better deal than this?!’

[Shen Yun: Thank you. In that case, after I convert the production line, Auntie will apply for the permit. I’ll let you know when it’s all done.]

[Lin Shen: Okay, thank you, Aunt Shen.]

[Shen Yun: You’re welcome. By the way, is this pet food formula your own creation? Or someone else’s? If it’s someone else’s, I’m worried it might lead to unnecessary legal disputes.]

[Lin Shen: It’s my own.]

When Shen Yun saw Lin Shen’s message, her expression turned to one of disbelief.

She knew perfectly well how important a food formula was; a company could be built into an empire on the back of one.

Take a certain famous sauce company, for instance.

Just by changing its formula, its market value evaporated by hundreds of millions. That alone showed how crucial a food formula could be.

And this was even more true for pet food.

So when she learned that Lin Shen had actually developed a new pet food formula all by himself, she was truly astonished.

’Is there anything this kid can’t do?!’
