Chapter 551: Chapter 266: [Goddess Cultivation Manual]

Zhao Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly as she once again scrutinized her daughter.

Her expression was one of exhaustion mixed with satisfaction. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, and she had a healthy glow about her.

Most importantly, there was a strange trace at the corner of her mouth, like a sheen of oil, reflecting an alluring luster under the light.

Clearly, Ping had been up to something strange.

Although Zhao Ya didn’t know the specifics, she knew her daughter well enough to understand the meaning behind some of her subtle actions.

For example, the way she subconsciously rubbed her left index finger with her right hand was a tell-tale sign of a guilty conscience.

Zhao Ya questioned her in a stern voice.

"Did you really just go see Shen off?"

"Yeah."

Lin Ping mumbled, not daring to meet Zhao Ya’s gaze.

"What else would I be doing...?"

"It took you a whole hour just to see him off?"

Zhao Ya pointed at the clock on the wall, her brow furrowed slightly.

"You left at 10 o’clock. I tidied up the house, put Anan to sleep, and even took a shower. By the time I came out, you still weren’t back. I ended up waiting for you until 11."

"President Lin had some work to assign me, so we just talked for a bit downstairs."

Lin Ping scrambled for an excuse, trying to bluff her way through it.

Then again, what she said wasn’t entirely wrong.

’Isn’t a lover’s "job" just to satisfy the other’s desires, after all!’

’Of course, as for whether she was satisfying her own desires or Lin Shen’s, Lin Ping was now leaning more toward the former.’

But clearly, Zhao Ya wasn’t going to drop the subject because of these excuses. Her attitude remained just as serious.

"You discuss work this late at night? Lin Ping, don’t think you can lie to your mother just because you’re grown up, can you?"

"I’m not!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Lin Ping didn’t know how to explain herself to Zhao Ya and could only stammer, unable to get a word out.

Zhao Ya, however, decided to ask her point-blank.

"Are you and Shen in a relationship now?"

"Um..."

Lin Ping’s face flushed. After a moment of fidgeting, she finally realized she couldn’t hide it any longer. She gave a shy nod and answered quietly.

"My relationship with President Lin... we’ve become very close."

"So it’s true. All those things you talked to me about before... you were just testing me."

Seeing that Lin Ping was finally telling her the truth, Zhao Ya found she wasn’t as angry as she had been initially. She let out a soft sigh and asked gently.

"When did this start?"

"It was around the time I divorced Shen Mingchuan. President Lin acquired my Cat Cafe and invited me to be the manager."

The moment she spoke of it, Lin Ping’s face softened, her eyes filled with deep adoration.

"I started falling for President Lin back then. Even after I found out he had a girlfriend, I couldn’t suppress my feelings."

"He treats me so well. He treated me better in the first week we knew each other than Shen Mingchuan did in an entire year."

"Mom, does that make me a horrible person?"

Lin Ping let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"I divorced Shen Mingchuan for cheating on me, only to turn around and become the other woman myself."

"Don’t say that about yourself."

Zhao Ya scooted closer to Lin Ping, pulling her into a comforting embrace.

"There’s nothing wrong with pursuing your own happiness. The way you’re going about it might not be right, but no matter what, Mom will always support you."

"As long as you’re happy, I’m happy."

"Mom..."

Deeply moved, Lin Ping buried her head in Zhao Ya’s embrace.

"Thank you for understanding. I was afraid you’d hate me for this."

"I could never hate you."

Zhao Ya smiled gently.

"You’re my daughter, after all."

"Hehe."

Lin Ping gave a sweet smile, then glanced at the clock.

"Mom, it’s getting late. We should get to sleep. I have work tomorrow. I’m going to take a shower first."

"Alright."

Zhao Ya watched Lin Ping walk straight to the bathroom, which she found puzzling.

"Aren’t you going to take off your coat and put it in the master bedroom?"

"It’s fine."

Looking slightly flustered, Lin Ping took the coat into the bathroom with her and locked the door from the inside.

Finally, she could let out a sigh of relief.

PHEW—!

Once Lin Ping felt her racing heart begin to slow, she slowly took off her coat, folded it, and placed it on the washing machine.

Only then was the blush-inducing outfit she wore underneath the coat finally revealed.

Unlike the pristine condition it was in when she left, the sexy lingerie was now practically battle-damaged.

It wasn’t that the fabric was poor quality, but that its mesh-like, gauzy structure was easily snagged and torn.

The slightest strenuous movement would create a host of new rips and tears.

On top of that, the car’s interior was far too cramped compared to a bedroom, leaving no room to move freely.

As a result, the lingerie had quickly been reduced to "a pile of rags" draped over Lin Ping’s sexy, voluptuous body.

If it hadn’t been for the coat, she wouldn’t have known how she could possibly get out of Lin Shen’s car.

’Thank god Mom didn’t see...’

Lin Ping’s face burned. The thought of having had such a serious conversation with her mother while dressed like this made her feel a surge of nervousness and anxiety.

Of course, the corresponding thrill was more than enough to satisfy her... peculiar tastes.

’I think I’m getting weirder and weirder.’

Lin Ping stood before the full-length mirror, admiring her own body, which had just been so thoroughly savored and played with by Lin Shen.

She cupped her burning cheeks, her eyes hazy with desire. She felt like she was becoming more and more wanton.

When she first got involved with Lin Shen, she’d been able to restrain herself somewhat.

But as their relationship grew more intimate and intense, Lin Ping felt her own appetite growing larger and larger.
