Chapter 701: Chapter 340: Checking into the Hotel

As a father and a man, Lin Qinghai naturally understood why Lin Shen wanted to stay at a hotel with Qin Yuenan. After all, their home was small. Any slight noise they made could easily be heard. For a well-mannered girl like Qin Yuenan, that would definitely make her shy! It was better to stay out, where they could toss and turn all they wanted without fear of being discovered.

So, while grabbing Zhao Nuannuan’s arm, Lin Qinghai winked frantically at her. This finally made her realize the situation, and she chuckled. "All right, Mom understands. Take Nan out to a hotel, then."

"Mhm."

Lin Shen glanced back at Qin Yuenan, only to find her beautiful face slightly flushed. A hint of embarrassment and indignation flickered in her upturned eyes. Clearly, Lin Shen’s earlier words had caused Lin Qinghai and Zhao Nuannuan to misunderstand. But it didn’t really matter. After all, they were all adults, and it was only natural for them to do adult things.

Thus, Lin Shen took Qin Yuenan’s hand and waved goodbye to his parents.

The moment the front door closed, the aloof, mature beauty finally let out a long breath. She continuously rubbed her cheeks with both hands, the plastered-on smile gradually fading back into her usual indifferent expression as she grumbled, "So tiring!"

"You’re really good at playing the good girl," Lin Shen marveled. "Nan, I never noticed you could smile so sweetly before."

"An actor’s professionalism," Qin Yuenan said calmly, though Lin Shen easily caught the smugness in her expression.

He pondered for a moment before asking softly, "Why didn’t you discuss buying the fur coat and watches for my parents with me beforehand?"

"Would you have agreed if I did?" Qin Yuenan shot him a cold glare. But upon noticing his serious expression, she immediately softened her tone, taking the initiative to hold his hand as she gently explained, "I bought them for your parents. Don’t feel like you owe me anything. After all, you gave me a car worth over forty million. These gifts are nothing in comparison."

"But I remember you gave me a million in savings, and now you took out another million to buy gifts for my parents," Lin Shen said solemnly. "I’ll transfer two million to you later."

"There’s no need," Qin Yuenan said softly, her gaze growing much gentler. "I have more savings than you think. Besides, the company’s operations require your funding. There’s no need to give me that much."

"No, I have the final say on this."

Lin Shen had never been this assertive before, but this time, he put his foot down, giving Qin Yuenan no chance to refuse.

It was Qin Yuenan’s first time experiencing this dominant side of Lin Shen. Her heartbeat couldn’t help but slightly accelerate. She immediately hugged his arm tightly, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you."

"Words alone aren’t enough." Lin Shen reached out to wrap his arm around Qin Yuenan’s slender waist and chuckled. "Shouldn’t you thank me with your mouth tonight?"

"You’re so annoying!" Given that she had a best friend like Zhao Jianing, whose mind was always in the gutter, Qin Yuenan instantly understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Shen’s words. Her beautiful face flushed red in an instant. She smacked Lin Shen’s shoulder hard and scolded in flustered embarrassment, "Why did you keep touching my leg while we were chatting earlier? I swatted your hand away several times, but you just wouldn’t stop! Weren’t you afraid your parents would see?"

"What’s wrong with touching my girlfriend’s leg? It’s my absolute right!"

"You still shouldn’t be so brazen about it." Qin Yuenan punched Lin Shen’s chest again. Seeing that he was still grinning, she didn’t bother arguing with him anymore. Instead, she walked over to the passenger door of the Maybach S680 and asked, "What are our plans for tomorrow?"

"First, we’ll go home for breakfast in the morning." Lin Shen pressed the button to unlock the car and got into the driver’s seat. He smiled lightly at Qin Yuenan, who had taken the passenger seat. "Tomorrow is the first day of the National Day holiday, so I expect a lot of people will be out. I plan to take my parents shopping first to buy a few things, and also sort out the convenience store arrangements so my mom won’t be too bored in her retirement.

"As for the afternoon and evening, you know the drill. I need to meet up with my childhood friend since his wedding is on October 2nd."

"Okay, got it." Qin Yuenan buckled her seatbelt and stretched. "Then I’ll wear a different outfit tomorrow."

"Just dress normally." After starting the car, Lin Shen drove out of Chengze Home and casually said, "You saw it yourself anyway. My parents really like you. Plus, they’re very open-minded, not the old-fashioned type who insist you have to be some perfectly docile girl who knows how to do chores or cook. None of that is necessary.

"You don’t need to wear a mask around them. Just be yourself. They’ll understand and won’t judge you for it.

"Having to keep up that smile all the time must have been hard on you."

"It wasn’t hard." Qin Yuenan shook her head, her expression softening significantly. "I was smiling from the bottom of my heart. I could feel their respect and affection for me through their words, and I really like them too.

"So I wasn’t faking it. I genuinely like them."

"That’s good." Lin Shen let out a soft sigh of relief, then patted Qin Yuenan’s thigh with his right hand, his smile growing even brighter.

His parents approved of his girlfriend, and his girlfriend really liked his parents. There was nothing more wonderful than this!

International Hotel. As the most high-end hotel in the entire small county, its twenty-plus-meter-tall building could be considered a local landmark. Even in such a luxurious hotel, the most expensive VIP suite that Lin Shen had booked only cost 998 yuan a night.

This clearly showed that the consumption level in the small county was indeed quite low. Consequently, the service quality couldn’t compare to that of major cities. There wasn’t even anyone to greet them at the door.

This left Lin Shen feeling somewhat helpless, but what more could he expect for 998 yuan? Still, he had paid for a room, so he should at least receive basic service. Thus, after pulling the car into the parking lot, Lin Shen called the hotel directly.

Although the vast majority of his and Qin Yuenan’s luggage had been left at his house, they still had a small amount of clothes they had brought to change into. After the call went through, Lin Shen spoke a few words. Before long, a girl in a waitress uniform jogged out, her face full of apology and nervousness.

"Mr. Lin! I am so sorry! We didn’t make the proper preparations on our end. I’ve already applied with the supervisor regarding the fee—would a twenty percent discount be acceptable?"

"No need." Lin Shen didn’t want to make things difficult for these wage workers. After all, a few hundred yuan meant absolutely nothing to him. However, if it were deducted from the staff’s pay, it might eat up a large chunk of their monthly salary. Moreover, the waitress had a very good attitude. Lin Shen highly approved of how sincerely she apologized.

It was entirely possible that this was the first time someone had ever booked the top-floor VIP suite, so it was inevitable that the service wouldn’t keep up. Everyone made mistakes sometimes. So Lin Shen didn’t say anything more. He popped the trunk and let the waitress grab his and Qin Yuenan’s luggage.

When the waitress saw the black-and-white Maybach, her heart skipped a beat. She then examined Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan with a face full of utter astonishment and disbelief.

He’s this handsome? And he has such a gorgeous girlfriend? And he’s even driving a Mercedes S-Class? These three points completely stunned the waitress. Unable to suppress her inner gossip, she instinctively asked, "Mr. Lin, you aren’t a local, are you? I noticed your license plate is from Modu..."

"That’s right," Lin Shen said with a smile. "I just work in Modu. I happened to come back to my hometown for the National Day holiday."

Oh... So that was it!

The waitress suddenly understood. Just as she was about to ask another question, Qin Yuenan suddenly shot her a cold glare. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze seemingly coalescing with a hint of murderous intent. This made the waitress immediately shut her mouth, mentally warning herself.

"Don’t ask careless questions! Anyone who can afford to drive this kind of car is probably part of the local mafia. If I get targeted, who knows what might happen," she warned herself.

Consequently, the waitress no longer dared to look directly at Lin Shen or Qin Yuenan. She simply kept her head down as she served them.
