"President Lin, take care! I’ll link your personal and company accounts right away. If you need anything at all, just give me a call. I’m available 24/7."

Jiang He bowed, smiling as he saw Lin Shen off from the bank headquarters, which had closed for the day long ago.

For VIP customers, the bank could open at any time.

「7:30 PM.」

The setting sun was like molten gold, and a heavy twilight descended.

The entire city seemed to be veiled in a layer of deep orange gauze, outlining a silhouette of decadent luxury.

Lin Shen rested his left arm on the car’s window frame, sitting in the driver’s seat and quietly admiring the sunset as it sank below the horizon.

A thick file folder rested on his lap, along with an unopened seal and ink pad.

This was the result of his busy afternoon.

With these, Lin Shen’s company was finally taking shape.

Lin Shen let out a long breath.

Snapping back to his senses, Lin Shen rubbed the rough texture of the folder, an indescribable and complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Uncertainty and anticipation for the future, mingled with the joy and excitement of potentially achieving fame and success.

’I hope everything goes smoothly.’

Lin Shen closed his eyes and prayed silently.

He moved everything from his lap to the back seat and glanced at his phone screen.

It was open to his WeChat chat history with Qin Yuenan.

’Maybe I can give Nan a surprise tonight.’

A warmth surged through Lin Shen.

Among all the women around him, his desire for Qin Yuenan was particularly strong.

Whether it was her long, voluptuous legs or her full, pert, peach-like butt, everything about her made Lin Shen’s mouth water.

After a moment’s thought, he drove out of the bank’s parking lot.

「9:00 PM. The marketing director’s office at Pet Guardian Home.」

In the brightly lit room, Qin Yuenan sat quietly behind her desk, her hands resting lightly on the keyboard as she stared into space.

She had already finished her overtime work but was in no hurry to pack up and go home.

Because her mind was completely occupied by thoughts of Lin Shen.

And that name that had suddenly appeared.

Jiang Wan.

Qin Yuenan had lost count of how many times the name had crossed her mind, but each time, it made her heart tremble.

She was certain that "Shui Yanwei," the girl from the micro-film with Lin Shen, was his senior from his university club, Jiang Wan!

’So they’ve been in contact privately all this time.’

From that day at Sheshan until now.

They even shot a romantic micro-film together!

Maybe it was just as Zhao Jianing had said—the two of them might have already taken a trip to the beach.

A pang of bitterness and a trace of resentment suddenly bloomed in Qin Yuenan’s heart.

After all, finding out your boyfriend has a relationship with another girl that goes beyond a normal friendship would make anyone feel awkward and upset.

Qin Yuenan was no different.

And most importantly, this Jiang Wan was an especially beautiful girl, the gentle, older-sister type!

Although in terms of looks, Qin Yuenan was quite confident she had a clear edge over her.

But when it came to their figures, she had to admit she had probably lost.

And lost completely!

’Effort is a joke in the face of natural talent!’

SIGH—!

Qin Yuenan sighed, pressing a hand to her forehead, her thin lips pressed into a tight line.

Her woman’s intuition told her that Lin Shen and Jiang Wan definitely shared a secret they couldn’t tell anyone!

Because she knew her boyfriend very well.

He was impeccably outstanding in every way, except when it came to relationships—he was a total scumbag.

A top-tier beauty like Jiang Wan, with her figure and looks, was someone he would never let get away!

Qin Yuenan had actually known about Lin Shen’s "flaw" of being a womanizer for a long time.

Back then, she had even confidently insisted to Zhao Jianing that she would be tolerant of Lin Shen.

Because Lin Shen had been hurt in a past relationship.

However, now that the situation was becoming a reality, Qin Yuenan regretted it.

She discovered she wasn’t as magnanimous as she had imagined; she couldn’t bring herself to give her boyfriend up to another woman.

She couldn’t even share him!

Qin Yuenan felt she had an almost pathological possessiveness over Lin Shen.

’I was here first!’

’I was the one who fell for Lin Shen first!’

’When I went hiking with him on Sheshan, you two had only just gotten in touch!’

’My relationship with Lin Shen is definitely more serious!’

Qin Yuenan’s tightly pressed lips formed a small pout, her cheeks puffed out slightly, her heart filled with jealousy.

That’s right.

Faced with the "fact" of her boyfriend’s cheating, this cool and aloof queen wasn’t angry at Lin Shen, but jealous of the other woman!

She was even secretly competing with her in her mind.

’Hmph!’

’What’s so great about being big?’

’It just makes her proportions look unbalanced!’

’A well-proportioned body is what’s truly top-tier!’

’Especially a perfect waist-to-hip ratio. Do you have that?’

’Besides, my legs are longer!’

’Lin Shen loves my long legs the most. When we do... *that*, he often rests them on his shoulders and compliments me!’

As her thoughts wandered, Qin Yuenan suddenly realized they were heading in a strange direction.

So she quickly patted her slightly flushed cheeks, took a deep breath to calm her restless heart, and became as cool and collected as usual.

PHEW—!

Qin Yuenan shut down her laptop and closed it, silently pondering what to do next.

’Confront Lin Shen?’

’Or should I pretend I don’t know for now?’

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!

Just as Qin Yuenan’s thoughts were in turmoil, the sudden, sharp sound of knocking made her heart jump.

’It’s so late, there shouldn’t be anyone else in the office!’

’Who could it be?’

A chill ran down Qin Yuenan’s spine. She instinctively took a few steps back, clutching her left hand to her chest. Her right hand reflexively grabbed a pen from the desk to use for self-defense. Staring at the door with a terrified expression, she forced a calm, cold voice and asked.
