Chapter 624: Chapter 302: The Little Girl Who Sensed Something Was Wrong

Wanda Plaza.

After driving Zheng Yanfei here, Lin Ping planned to buy a few things to take back to her hometown.

However, she noticed that her niece had been a bit distracted for a while now, seemingly lost in thought.

So, after they parked the car and took the elevator from the underground garage to the first floor of Wanda Plaza, Lin Ping teased her with a gentle smile.

"Fei, what are you thinking about? You’re so spaced out. Did I interrupt a date with your boyfriend by asking you to come out this weekend?"

"Huh?"

Zheng Yanfei was taken aback for a moment before quickly waving her hands in denial.

"No, no! I just had a date with him a few days ago. He’s been pretty busy lately."

"Oh? What’s he busy with?"

Lin Ping asked casually, but the question startled Zheng Yanfei. She was about to answer honestly, but on second thought, she told a white lie.

"His studies, I guess."

"I remember you said he goes to the same university as you?"

"That’s right."

Zheng Yanfei suddenly realized that when she had introduced Lin Shen to Lin Ping before, she had mentioned he went to the same university.

And the man her aunt liked was apparently an older man.

’There’s no way they could be the same person, right?’

Zheng Yanfei mulled it over. But her curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t resist trying to find out more.

So she started by asking about the significant change in Lin Ping’s appearance recently.

"Auntie, you’ve changed so much lately."

"Really? How have I changed?"

"Your whole aura is different."

Zheng Yanfei studied Lin Ping closely, growing more shocked the longer she looked.

’The resemblance is uncanny!’

’It’s just too similar!’

The mature woman with Lin Shen that night had been wearing provocative lingerie, and her face had even been covered by a black lace mask.

But Zheng Yanfei still felt that she and her aunt had some similar features.

’Do all mature women look like this?’

That was the only explanation Zheng Yanfei could come up with, and she quickly returned to the previous topic.

"I feel like you’ve become much more confident since your divorce. Like a successful career woman!"

"You think so? My friends have all been saying the same thing."

Pleased by Zheng Yanfei’s compliment, Lin Ping couldn’t help but smile as she explained.

"I recently got a promotion."

"Oh? Congratulations, Auntie! What’s your new position?"

"Mm, General Manager of the Customer Service Department."

What?

The title completely stunned Zheng Yanfei.

She didn’t know much about corporate structures, but she definitely knew what "General Manager" meant!

’Otherwise, all those years of watching idol dramas would have been for nothing, right?’

’Auntie got promoted to such a high position?’

’The last time we met, I remember she was just a store manager for Shennan Pet Society, right?’

Logically, her next promotion should have been to something like a regional manager for a few stores.

But instead, she was promoted to General Manager of the Customer Service Department...

’Could it be...!’

Zheng Yanfei’s heart suddenly started to race, and she quickly pressed for more information.

"So, Auntie, which company are you working for now?"

"Shennan Pet Industry."

’I knew it!’

Zheng Yanfei’s mind went blank for a second. A jumble of vague thoughts and connections suddenly clicked into place!

When she had accompanied Lin Shen to the Ferrari owners’ club meeting, he had introduced himself as the Chairman and Founder of Shennan Pet Industry!

’Don’t tell me... Auntie’s boyfriend is really Lin Shen?’

’That means... it really was her that night!’

Zheng Yanfei felt completely dizzy. Her cheeks flushed, and her steps became unsteady.

Seeing this, Lin Ping quickly took her arm and asked with concern.

"What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"It’s not that!"

Zheng Yanfei quickly waved her hand and explained.

"I’ve just been a little hypoglycemic lately."

"That’s because you’re eating too little."

Lin Ping couldn’t help but scold her gently.

"You’re already so thin. Are you still trying to lose weight?"

"Hehe."

Zheng Yanfei didn’t deny that eating less was her secret to staying in shape, but her focus was clearly elsewhere.

’Maybe there’s another explanation.’

’The man Auntie likes is just one of Lin Shen’s subordinates.’

’After all, didn’t she say he was a polite older man?’

Because of this preconceived notion, Zheng Yanfei had always assumed the man Lin Ping liked was older than her.

And Lin Shen didn’t fit that description at all.

But it was all too much of a coincidence, and Zheng Yanfei couldn’t shake a strange sense of panic.

So she decided to ask about it indirectly.

"Auntie, that older man you like... does he work at Shennan Pet Industry?"

"Mm-hmm."

Lin Ping nodded with a smile.

"He’s my superior, you could say."

"Then does he know Lin Shen?"

!?

Hearing Lin Shen’s name come from Zheng Yanfei’s mouth, Lin Ping was startled. She froze, the clothes she was holding in the store going rigid in her grasp as her beautiful eyes flew wide.

"How did you know?"

"How could I not know?"

From Lin Ping’s tone, it sounded like the man she liked merely knew Lin Shen, and that they weren’t the same person.

Zheng Yanfei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she explained with a light laugh.

"Shennan Pet Industry has been blowing up among all the pet-raising influencers lately! I’ve seen it pop up so many times, so I looked into it and discovered that its owner is actually a really young guy!"

"Yes, he is."

Hearing that Zheng Yanfei had only read about Lin Shen and didn’t actually have a connection to him, Lin Ping let out a long sigh of relief. Then, with a trace of pride and tenderness, she began to explain.

"The owner of Shennan Pet Industry is indeed very young—he’s only three years older than you—but he had the courage to start his own business. He’s really amazing."

"Yeah, yeah, he is!"

Zheng Yanfei really wanted to say that her boyfriend was, in fact, Lin Shen.
