Chapter 546: Chapter 263: Quarrel and Determination

After leaving Xu Lei’s apartment building, Lin Shen drove to Lin Ping’s place without a moment’s rest.

When he got there, he parked his car on the side of the road where there were security cameras.

This was something Lin Shen always complained bitterly about.

A Maybach S680 worth over four million yuan didn’t even come with Sentry Mode!

’At least let me pay to activate it!’

Of course, Lin Shen knew that most gas cars didn’t have this feature; it was something only electric cars had.

’I might as well just buy an electric car when I have the time.’

Lin Shen mumbled to himself, went upstairs empty-handed, and knocked on the door of apartment 1203.

But it was Anan who answered.

"Who are you!?"

"It’s me, your Brother Shen."

Hearing Anan’s sweet and adorable voice, Lin Shen’s heart gradually softened.

"Then wait a minute. I’ll go get my mommy to open the door for you."

Although she could tell it was Lin Shen’s voice, Anan still followed the rule Lin Ping had taught her.

She was never to open the door by herself.

She couldn’t open it when she was home alone, and if another adult was home, she had to let them get the door.

So, Anan knocked on the bedroom door.

"Mommy, Brother Shen is here!"

’Brother Shen?’

Zhao Ya froze for a moment when she heard this name.

’Could it be the neighbor’s kid coming to play with Anan?’

"Oh, I’m coming," Lin Ping called out, then whispered to Zhao Ya, her face blushing.

"Mom, I’m going to get the door for a friend."

"Okay."

After leaving the bedroom, Lin Ping jogged to the front door, opened it for Lin Shen, and immediately whispered a reminder, afraid he might do something intimate.

"President Lin, you’re here. There are other people at home."

’Other people?’

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow and looked past Lin Ping, seeing Zhao Ya coming out of the bedroom with her.

’Who is she?’

"Come in first."

Lin Ping found a pair of slippers for Lin Shen and, after helping him change his shoes, introduced him to her mother.

"Mom, this is Lin Shen, my boss."

"President Lin, this is my mom, Zhao Ya."

’Lin Ping’s mother?’

Lin Shen was a bit taken aback, but Zhao Ya was even more shocked when she saw him.

’Huh?’

’You’re telling me this young man is the boss?’

’No way!’

In Zhao Ya’s mind, the head of a company had to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Mature and steady, calm in the face of trouble.

Only someone like that could handle a company’s affairs properly.

’But this kid became the boss at such a young age?’

Zhao Ya was reeling from the shock. She quickly walked over and extended her hand.

"Hello, President Lin. I’m Lin Ping’s mother. Thank you for taking care of my Lin Ping."

"It’s my pleasure."

Lin Shen smiled faintly, his expression gentle.

"Please, just call me Shen. I apologize for dropping by so suddenly without a gift."

"Oh, you don’t need to bring anything! That would be too much."

Zhao Ya covered her mouth with a smile, a sudden fondness for this young man blooming within her.

’What a polite young man!’

’No wonder he could become the head of a company. You can tell how capable he is just from the way he treats people.’

’Impressive!’

’And he’s so handsome, too!’

’He’s tall and well-built, with a commanding presence, full of Spirit and charisma.’

Zhao Ya liked this very much and hurriedly invited Lin Shen into the dining room.

"I was wondering why Ping was making so much food. It turns out you were coming, Shen! Please, have a seat. I’ll get you a bowl of rice."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Lin Shen gladly accepted Zhao Ya’s kindness, watching as she pulled Lin Ping into the kitchen.

SLAM—!

As soon as the kitchen door closed, Zhao Ya immediately grabbed Lin Ping’s hand and asked in a hushed voice.

"Why did you invite your boss over for dinner?"

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Lin Ping could see that Zhao Ya liked Lin Shen. While her nervous heart breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a deep sense of sweetness and joy.

"He takes good care of me at work, so what’s wrong with me treating him to a meal?"

"Then you could have just treated him to a meal outside. Why did you have to bring him home? And..."

Zhao Ya sized up Lin Ping’s outfit and suddenly had a realization.

She wasn’t some overly traditional parent; she’d learned a thing or two about the messy business of modern relationships from short-form videos.

It was obvious Lin Ping had dressed this way for a reason!

Wearing something so revealing and then inviting her boss over for dinner.

’Isn’t this just blatant seduction?’

Now Zhao Ya understood why her daughter was dressed in such a feminine way.

She clearly had designs on Lin Shen.

"Ping."

Zhao Ya pulled Lin Ping in front of her and questioned her sternly.

"Tell Mom the truth. Are you in love with Shen?"

"Ah, well..."

Lin Ping’s pretty face flushed red. She lowered her head shyly, stammering, unable to get a word out.

Zhao Ya knew her daughter inside and out. Seeing her act so bashful, she knew in an instant what was going through her mind.

This made her feel an inexplicable sense of worry, and she gripped Lin Ping’s hand tightly.

"You just got divorced! I thought you hadn’t moved on from your last relationship. I came all this way to help take care of Anan and comfort you while you were down, but it turns out you’ve already fallen for another man?"

"Don’t tell me you already had feelings for him... before you were even divorced?"

"No!"

Lin Ping hurriedly denied it.

"My feelings for President Lin aren’t what you’re thinking! I’m just really grateful to him, that’s all. After all, he takes good care of me and Anan..."

"Then that means his intentions aren’t pure."

Zhao Ya huffed, afraid her daughter would be taken advantage of.

’Why would a young man in his twenties be so considerate to a divorced single mother in her thirties?’

’With Lin Shen’s handsome looks and tall frame, what kind of young girl couldn’t he find?’
