Chapter 678: Chapter 329: The Aloof Beauty’s Strange Quirks Erupt

Jiayu Pavilion, Building 5, Room 1602.

In the open kitchen, the atmosphere was growing steadily more intimate. Plated steaks sat on the counter, still steaming. Lin Shen leaned back against the counter, smiling down at Qin Yuenan. She was currently half-crouching on the floor, her beautiful face completely flushed, and she occasionally shot fierce glares up at him.

After all, his words had crossed the line. What did he mean by asking if she wanted to eat it? It was entirely too shameful.

"You’re so annoying," Qin Yuenan muttered. "If you keep this up, I’m not going to help you."

"Sorry." Seeing her about to stand up, Lin Shen hurriedly pressed down on her shoulders. Then, he sincerely pleaded, "Please, Nan."

"Hmph."

Seeing Lin Shen yield, the stubbornness in Qin Yuenan’s heart faded significantly. Truthfully, she rather hoped to maintain their current dynamic—with her in the submissive position and him in the dominant one. However, her innate pride and aloofness made her instinctively try to reclaim the upper hand. Yet now that Lin Shen had softened, she found she no longer wanted it.

On the internet, this kind of contradictory mindset was commonly known as being conflicted. Fortunately, Qin Yuenan wasn’t conflicted over trivial questions like whether he loved her or not. Instead, she was wrestling with whether she should reveal her slightly masochistic side to Lin Shen. It was simply too embarrassing!

But Lin Shen was the person she loved the most. What did it matter if he saw? It wasn’t like he was going to tell anyone. Besides, she was going to meet his parents tomorrow. Their relationship was no longer just an ordinary couple; they were taking the next step to become an engaged couple. In the future, she would definitely take Lin Shen to meet her own parents. Since they had already reached this stage, why was she still putting on airs and acting aloof in front of him? Furthermore, she had worn this outfit specifically to please him. There was no need to feel so much shame and embarrassment about pleasing her own man.

She told herself, "Wake up, Qin Yuenan! If you keep this up, your reserve will eventually push Lin Shen away, and he’ll go find other women to have fun with. That absolutely cannot happen!"

After this intense internal struggle, a shy flush suddenly colored her cheeks. She whispered, "I want to eat..."

Hearing Qin Yuenan’s tiny but distinct voice, Lin Shen was visibly stunned. He hadn’t expected this aloof, mature woman to be so cooperative. Then, the smile on his lips widened. The words that left his mouth would have made any passerby blush to the roots of their hair, as he teased her in every way imaginable.

Although she felt incredibly ashamed internally, she ultimately followed Lin Shen’s rhythm. As he guided her step by step, her beautiful eyes clouded with a captivating, steamy mist. Her half-crouching posture gradually shifted into a kneeling one, and she even began to intentionally or unintentionally twist her sexy, delicate curves. This was an entirely new version of Qin Yuenan that Lin Shen had never seen before, and it filled him with uncontrollable excitement.

Getting ready to meet the parents really made a difference! Nan was finally starting to let him bring out her hidden side. And so, applying various techniques he had learned online, Lin Shen thoroughly and completely tamed Qin Yuenan. Of course, she gradually adapted to this shifting dynamic of dominance and submission between them. After getting over her initial shyness, she was bound to shed her inner inhibitions over time. This cold and elegant woman was steadily becoming Lin Shen’s possession, completely at his mercy.

Twenty minutes later.

SPLASH. The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

Qin Yuenan was washing her gold-rimmed glasses over and over again. After setting them down on some tissues beside the sink, she began to wash her face with a facial cleanser. She had previously warned Lin Shen that no matter how carried away he got, he absolutely could not finish inside. Lin Shen had naturally complied.

But the result was...

Qin Yuenan pressed her lips tightly together. Thinking back to the scene just now made her face feel strange all over again. She quickly washed her face with cleanser a second time before bracing her hands against the sink and letting out a long exhale. She looked up at her slightly flushed, water-streaked face in the mirror and froze. Hurriedly, she pulled down a few strands of her bangs, leaned over the sink, and washed that small section with shampoo.

She complained inwardly, "Why did it get up here too?!" Still, every time the memory resurfaced, her heart inevitably raced.

She only left the bathroom once she was completely cleaned up. By this time, Lin Shen was reheating the steaks that had gone cold. He brought them to the table and poured each of them a glass of red wine. As the rich aroma of the wine drifted through the dining room, Lin Shen couldn’t help but take a deep breath before slowly exhaling. Just then, he caught sight of Qin Yuenan emerging from the bathroom. He smiled and raised his wine glass toward her.

"Nan, this wine of yours is quite good."

Qin Yuenan shot him a cold glare. She clearly knew he was deliberately changing the subject to prevent her from bringing up what had just happened. But she had to bring it up; her pent-up shame and indignation needed an outlet.

"Why did you get it on my face?"

"Well, about that..." Sitting at the dining table, Lin Shen hemmed and hawed before chuckling. "Let’s eat first. The steaks are going to get cold again."

"Hmph," Qin Yuenan scoffed coldly, taking a seat across from him.

In truth, she knew exactly why he had done it. It was nothing more than a man’s little hobby, driven by a desire to conquer. She figured he had probably learned it all from those Neon movies!
