Chapter 603: Chapter 291: Secretary Massage (2)

"Acqua di Parma."

Hearing that Lin Shen was actually interested in her perfume, Xu Lei’s eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. She was secretly overjoyed, feeling a sense of victory and excitement.

’My perfume battle plan for today was a success!’

’At least I’ve caught President Lin’s interest!’

’The first step is always the hardest, and this is a great start!’

Xu Lei hurriedly began to describe it to Lin Shen.

"The top notes are star anise, Italian mandarin, Calabrian bergamot, and orange. It has a uniquely fresh scent."

"The middle note is green almond, which is the scent right now. Here, let me give you a whiff."

With that, Xu Lei glanced over at Qin Yuenan, who was chatting by the lake with Shen Yun and Lin Ping. Seeing that she wasn’t paying attention to them, Xu Lei boldly offered the back of her hand to Lin Shen’s nose.

"Do you think it smells good?"

"The almond scent is definitely strong."

Lin Shen naturally took Xu Lei’s hand. He took a sniff and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"I’m glad you like it."

A blush crept onto Xu Lei’s pretty face, and her heart pounded with nervousness.

She hadn’t expected Lin Shen to be so daring as to hold her hand at a company event with so many people around.

’If anyone else saw this, there would be so much nasty gossip.’

Of course, this was also something Xu Lei had always wanted but never dared to do herself.

She actually hoped Lin Shen would be a little more "impolite" with her.

It would deepen the relationship between them.

But Lin Shen was too much of a gentleman in public. Even when smelling her hand, he only held the tips of her fingers.

This made her feel happy to be respected, but also a little disappointed.

’If only President Lin could be more... forward with me.’

’Maybe if we were alone, President Lin would do that?’

’There are just too many people around right now.’

Xu Lei bit her lip as her mind started to race.

After massaging Lin Shen’s shoulders for a bit, she smoothed down her hip-hugging skirt and half-knelt beside him to massage his legs.

This gave Lin Shen a good opportunity to observe his female secretary.

Her attire today was different from her usual outfits.

Instead of a blouse, her top was a black, half-sleeved knit shirt. A matching silk scarf was tied around her delicate neck, creating a keyhole effect that allowed her fair skin to peek through, giving her an intellectual kind of beauty.

On her lower half, she wore the hip-hugging skirt typical of a secretary, but instead of a dark color like black or gray, it was a light champagne.

The material was even silk. When she knelt, countless wrinkles gathered in the front, but in the back, the fabric was stretched smooth over her full, rounded rear, outlining two lustrous, delicate curves.

The cut of the skirt’s slit also fit snugly against Xu Lei’s plump thighs.

Paired with light coffee-colored stockings that reflected a lustrous sheen in the sunlight, her curled-up posture exuded an even greater sense of femininity.

Looking down from above, he could take in her entire exquisite and graceful figure.

The parts that should jut out were tantalizingly perky, while the parts that should curve in were incredibly deep. She definitely had a great figure.

It was probably just a little inferior to Qin Yuenan’s, but not the least bit worse than any other woman’s.

Her glasses, in particular, elevated her intellectual secretary image by more than just a notch.

For others, glasses might hide their good looks, but for Xu Lei, they were a bonus.

However, perhaps to match her outfit today, she wasn’t wearing her usual black-framed glasses, but had switched to a more mature and sophisticated pair of gold-rimmed ones.

This was a completely different style from when Qin Yuenan wore the same type of gold-rimmed glasses.

When Qin Yuenan wore them, she gave off a particularly cool and aloof impression, fully highlighting her "ice queen" aura.

Especially when paired with her exquisitely beautiful face, few men could resist that kind of dominant, mature beauty.

But when Xu Lei wore gold-rimmed glasses, her aura became rather sexy, like a secretary whose entire purpose was to seduce men.

This might have something to do with her face shape.

Qin Yuenan had a classic oval face, a feature characteristic of only daughters from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region.

As for Xu Lei, her face shape was of the "runway" variety.

Her red lips were slightly full, a beauty mark sat at the corner of her eye, her nose bridge was high, and her features were well-defined.

If you were to get certain... foreign substances on this face, they would all eventually flow down to her mouth.

This was the most unique characteristic of the "runway face," and it was something men found incredibly desirable.

’If I could just add a little "color" to that face, it would be absolutely amazing.’

The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth curved up. Xu Lei had long since noticed his heated gaze.

After all, she was often subject to such stares at work.

She was well aware of what the people around her thought, and she was disgusted by it.

Except when it came from Lin Shen.

Under Lin Shen’s rather greedy gaze, not only did Xu Lei not feel annoyed, she even felt a secret thrill of pleasure.

’This proves President Lin desires me!’

So, Xu Lei deliberately rubbed her stocking-clad legs together, causing the hem of her skirt to slide up the silky fabric, revealing more and more of her thighs.

She also leaned her upper body forward intentionally, offering up the wonderful feast she had specially prepared for Lin Shen’s eyes.

This was the boldest act of seduction Xu Lei had ever performed in public.

But it didn’t last long. A cold voice suddenly came from the side.

"What are you two doing?"

!?

Xu Lei’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw Qin Yuenan’s ice-cold face, and panic flared within her. She scrambled to her feet, pulling her skirt down and smoothing her hair, her hands twisting in front of her as she stammered.

"Um... I saw that President Lin hasn’t been resting well lately, so I thought I’d give him a massage to help him relax."

"You’re President Lin’s secretary, not a massage parlor technician."

Qin Yuenan rebuked her coldly, without a hint of courtesy. Xu Lei’s heart filled with shame, and her face flushed red.

She wasn’t particularly angry, though. She just felt the panic of being caught by the "main woman."

Seeing this, Lin Shen quickly played the peacemaker. He stood up and pulled Qin Yuenan into a tight embrace, reasoning with her.

"Nan, Xu meant well. How could you say that to her?"

"Hmph."

Qin Yuenan crossed her arms and shot Lin Shen a glare full of ill intent.

"You’re quite the actor yourself, letting Xu massage you. If you’re feeling sore somewhere, just tell me. I’ll do it for you."

Although Qin Yuenan’s personality was a bit obsessive, her words were flawless.

At first, Xu Lei thought Qin Yuenan was criticizing her. It was only when President Qin spoke to her again in front of Lin Shen that she realized she was actually being defended. She quickly said,

"President Qin, you’ve misunderstood. I offered to give President Lin a massage. He didn’t ask me to."

"Then don’t do it again."

Qin Yuenan said to Xu Lei softly.

"You just need to do what’s within your job description. For anything else, if there’s a problem, come to me. I’ll handle it."

"Okay."

Xu Lei was both surprised and flattered. She quickly lowered her head and stepped away from Lin Shen, giving him and Qin Yuenan some space to talk.

"Nan, you’re not mad, are you?"

Every time Qin Yuenan saw Lin Shen’s cheeky, smiling face, a nameless fire would rise up in her heart.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed her emotions, and began to lecture Lin Shen coldly.

"Such intimate interaction between you and your secretary... if word gets out, it will do great damage to Shennan’s reputation."

"Our company, Shennan, is just starting out. We don’t even have a PR department yet. Our public relations capability is practically nonexistent. We can’t withstand any kind of scandal or negative press."

"You’re not just an individual anymore. You represent the entire Shennan company. You should be able to judge for yourself what is and isn’t appropriate, shouldn’t you?"

"Sorry."

Lin Shen quickly put his arm around Qin Yuenan’s waist and apologized softly.

He was the type to admit his mistakes and correct them. He didn’t have a stubborn or chauvinistic streak; he was relatively gentle and could face his shortcomings frankly.

And this was a very important reason why Qin Yuenan liked him.

’What man doesn’t make mistakes?’

’As long as he knows he’s wrong and works to fix it, then there’s no problem.’

Seeing Lin Shen’s good attitude about admitting his fault, Qin Yuenan let out a soft sigh of relief.

But she was still a little worried. She leaned in and whispered questioningly in his ear,

"You don’t have any improper thoughts about Xu, do you?"
