Chapter 705: Chapter 342: The "Proactive" Mature Woman

In a moment of impulsivity, Qin Yuenan suddenly took out her phone and snapped a quick picture of them in the mirror.

Lin Shen caught her in the act immediately.

"Nan," Lin Shen smiled, lowering his head to bring his face close to her ear. He wrapped his left arm around her slender waist and asked with a grin, "Why are you taking pictures of me with no clothes on?"

"It’s not like I’m going to show anyone else," Qin Yuenan muttered under her breath, averting her gaze with a pang of guilt. "Can’t I just keep it for myself to look at?"

"If you’re just going to look at it yourself, I suggest taking something a little more private."

Taking a step forward, Lin Shen pressed Qin Yuenan against the bathroom counter from behind. He kept one hand wrapped around her waist, resting on her lower abdomen, while his other hand gently pinched her cheek, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

Her hazy, beautiful eyes looked as if she were about to close them and lean in for a kiss at any second. Taking the opportunity, Lin Shen reminded her, "Nan, you can take it like this."

"..."

Qin Yuenan caught on perfectly. Seeing Lin Shen’s deep eyes slowly drawing closer, she proactively closed her eyes, tilted her chin up to kiss him, and pressed the shutter button.

CLICK!

Just like that, an incredibly intimate couple’s photo was taken.

In the picture, Qin Yuenan was wearing nothing but a thin silk nightgown. The two spaghetti straps draped loosely over her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin around her chest and neck, with her soft, full curves faintly visible. Her loose, long hair from having just woken up gave her an especially languid look, adding a heavy dose of romance to the atmosphere.

As for Lin Shen, he looked downright sexy. He was completely shirtless, exposing his well-defined pectoral muscles and broad shoulders. The widest part of his inverted-triangle torso flared out on either side from behind Qin Yuenan. His waist was naturally thicker than hers, and his robust shadow looming from behind pushed the sexual tension in the photo to the absolute limit. It looked especially seductive where his large hand was gently pinching her small face.

The photo turned out pretty good!

Upon seeing the picture, Qin Yuenan’s first reaction was one of pleasant surprise. She quickly pulled Lin Shen in to take a few more steamy, boudoir-style couple photos before finally getting dressed to head out.

Today, she swapped out yesterday’s long white dress for her signature chic, mature style. On top, she wore a khaki, cropped, waist-cinching trench coat over a versatile white long-sleeved shirt. The belt around her waist perfectly accentuated her flawless figure.

But the absolute highlight was her lower half: a pair of dark blue, high-waisted skinny jeans. The fabric tightly hugged the curves of her legs, making her already long, supermodel-like legs look even more slender and straight. Paired with high-heeled sandals, her overall proportions mirrored the stunning physique of a runway model.

It had to be said that for a long-legged, mature beauty like Qin Yuenan, skinny jeans seemed tailor-made for her. Not only did they fit her legs flawlessly, but the tight denim fabric also perfectly outlined her firm, perky curves from behind, making her look even fuller and rounder. Because the hem of her cropped trench coat didn’t cover it, her waist-to-hip ratio looked practically perfect from the back.

Honestly, with a figure like that, most men would give her a perfect score without even needing to see her face. Yet, Qin Yuenan’s aloof, striking features were also top-tier. Especially when she tossed her long, straight black hair back, her cold, sophisticated aura was on full display.

Having been with Qin Yuenan for a while, every time Lin Shen looked at her, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of pride, thinking, "This gorgeous girl with such a perfect body is my girlfriend."

Simply wonderful!

Lin Shen couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Nan, how come you aren’t wearing your sweet-girl outfit today? Not even trying to pretend anymore, huh?"

"I’ve already met your parents anyway." Qin Yuenan finished applying her lipstick, pursed her lips slightly, and turned to look at him. "Aren’t we meeting your friends today? This outfit is fine."

"True." Lin Shen nodded, then complimented her, "Nan, you look really good in this. Have you ever thought about changing your hairstyle? Like light brown, loose waves?"

"Do you like that?" Qin Yuenan raised an eyebrow. After carefully examining and adjusting her hair in the mirror, she said softly, "If you like it, I’ll go get a perm next time to try it out. Jianing asked me to go get our hair done together before, but I didn’t go because I felt like a perm would ruin my hair."

"Then don’t do it." Lin Shen stood up, walked up behind her, and buried his face deeply in her soft hair. Taking a deep breath of her scent, he chuckled softly. "Your hair is great just the way it is."

"I maintain it all day long, you know," Qin Yuenan snorted lightly. "What do you think that massive pile of hair care products in my suitcase is for?"

"I underestimated you, then." Lin Shen smiled. He changed into a more casual outfit of his own, took her hand, and left the international hotel.

With Lin Shen driving, the two of them returned to his home. By this time, Lin Qinghai and Zhao Nuannuan had just finished boiling the noodles. The gravy had already been prepared the night before. This was Lin Qinghai’s signature dish. Lin Shen had grown up eating these gravy noodles, and even now, he still couldn’t get enough of it, as his dad regularly rotated the ingredients in the gravy so the flavor never got repetitive.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Nan, you’re here." Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Nuannuan hurriedly set aside what she was doing and went to answer it.

But when she saw Qin Yuenan standing in the doorway, she couldn’t help but freeze in surprise. Today, Qin Yuenan’s style was drastically different from yesterday’s! Between her outfit and her makeup, she almost looked like a completely different person.

Yesterday, she had leaned toward a sweet, girl-next-door vibe. Her hair had been tied up neatly, her makeup was soft, and she had worn a long white dress to highlight that pure, innocent aesthetic. Today, however, her outfit was far more fashionable and stylish, boldly showing off her perfect figure. Her makeup was also cooler and sharper, giving her the distinct aura of an aloof, domineering female CEO.

It was then that Zhao Nuannuan suddenly realized her future daughter-in-law wasn’t some obedient, docile girl, but an independent, self-reliant modern woman. Truth be told, Zhao Nuannuan preferred the latter. Her smile immediately grew radiant.

"Nan, your outfit today is so beautiful! Hurry up and come in."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin." Even with the change in attire, Qin Yuenan’s smile was still exceptionally sweet, and the curve of her lips was softer and more natural than before. She was slowly getting used to smiling at people.

"You’re here." Seeing Lin Shen arrive with Qin Yuenan, Lin Qinghai brought the noodles to the table, wiped his hands on his apron, and chuckled softly. "Come and eat."

"Okay."

Once Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan took their seats, the four of them began intimately enjoying their gravy noodles like a true family.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Nuannuan suddenly asked tentatively, "By the way, son, do you and Nan have any plans for today?"

"We’re having dinner with some friends tonight," Lin Shen said as he slurped his noodles. "I’m going to be a groomsman for someone tomorrow."

A groomsman?

Hearing this word, Zhao Nuannuan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly glanced at Qin Yuenan, and seeing that she didn’t react, she said indignantly, "You already have Nan! Why are you going to be a groomsman?"

"As long as I’m not the one getting married, it’s fine. It’s not like I’m going to do anything," Lin Shen smiled helplessly. "The one getting married this time is Chen Chang. Mom, don’t you know him? When he was little, he used to come over to our house every day to play on the computer with me. We grew up together."

"Oh, Chen Chang! Now I remember," Lin Qinghai realized with a dawn of comprehension. Then, after being kicked under the table by Zhao Nuannuan, he offered an awkward smile.

Zhao Nuannuan was still a bit angry. After all, even though this was a minor issue, if Qin Yuenan started overthinking it, it could easily affect the couple’s relationship! Her satisfaction with her future daughter-in-law had practically hit the ceiling, and she was terrified that the slightest misstep might drive her away. Therefore, upon finding out that Lin Shen was going to be a groomsman for his childhood friend, Zhao Nuannuan was genuinely displeased.

"Why don’t you ask Chen Chang to find someone else? I just feel like it’s not a good idea for you to be a groomsman."

"It’s fine, Mrs. Lin." Qin Yuenan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, seemed to sense Zhao Nuannuan’s emotions. She offered a slight smile and explained, "I’m the one who agreed to let Lin Shen be a groomsman. I don’t mind it at all."
