Chapter 354 - 190: Your Boyfriend

"Did I do something to make you angry?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Shen glanced sideways at her. His indifferent gaze and cold, rhetorical question made Qin Yuenan’s delicate body tremble. She lowered her head to admit her mistake.

"I’ve been busy with the handover to the new director recently, so I haven’t been able to spend much time with you. I know that’s my fault as your girlfriend, and I promise it won’t happen again."

"Suit yourself."

Lin Shen shrugged and walked straight out of the elevator when it reached the 14th floor.

Seeing this, Qin Yuenan hurried after him and took his arm, as if afraid he would leave her behind.

This was the kind of demure action she had never taken before.

Now, it seemed she was slowly adapting to her "role."

This made Lin Shen’s lips curl into a hidden smile.

’Looks like this ice queen really likes this kind of dynamic!’

’If that’s the case... maybe I can push things even further?’

Lin Shen quietly slid his right arm from her grasp, instead reaching out to wrap it around her soft waist.

Today, she was once again dressed in her usual commanding, professional style.

A color-block halter top with a ribbon tied around her neck, a black high-waisted fishtail skirt, and the Chanel handbag Lin Shen had given her.

The overall style was elegant and sharp, blending fashion with femininity.

The high-waisted skirt, in particular, perfectly accentuated Qin Yuenan’s most stunning waist-to-hip ratio.

This allowed Lin Shen to easily feel its shape through the silky fabric.

"What do you think of this office space?"

Lin Shen showed Qin Yuenan around the office space he was leasing, his arm still around her. The overall decor was indeed very much to her liking.

"It’s very nice. It fits the image of a pet company well. The environment is great."

"Right?"

Lin Shen smiled smugly, which made Qin Yuenan unable to resist laughing out loud before she teased him.

"Couldn’t keep up the act for long, could you?"

"It’s exhausting trying to act all cold and aloof."

Lin Shen sighed helplessly.

"You know I’m not really like that."

"I know."

Qin Yuenan carefully sized up Lin Shen’s "new skin." While straightening his collar, she didn’t miss the chance to feel up his firm pectoral muscles, her beautiful eyes shimmering with deep adoration and delight.

"You look very handsome in this."

"I prepared it specially for you."

With his arm around Qin Yuenan’s waist, Lin Shen gave a slight tug to pull her into his embrace. His hand slid down to her alluring, peach-like bottom as a wicked smile played on his lips.

"So, where’s the surprise you prepared for me?"

"Here."

Qin Yuenan took a small, black box from her bag. When she opened it, a watch lay quietly inside.

An octagonal bezel with exposed screws and a Tapisserie guilloché dial.

The design was highly recognizable, full of a powerful, mechanical aesthetic. One look was enough to tell it was expensive.

"An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Do you like it?"

"Of course I like it!"

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Shen’s eyes as he gently stroked the watch face, feeling the cool texture of the metal.

"I remember the retail price is already four hundred thousand, right? The market price must be even higher?"

"Zhao Jianing is a VIP at Audemars Piguet. She told me about this model a while ago, but since she doesn’t have a boyfriend to give it to, I thought I’d buy it for you."

Qin Yuenan took the watch out of the box, and Lin Shen, taking the hint, removed the green and gold Daytona that had been with him for so long and replaced it.

Compared to the flashier Rolex, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was a better fit for Lin Shen’s image as a young, confident, and stylish scion.

It felt great on his wrist, cool and comfortable.

Lin Shen turned his wrist, admiring and stroking it repeatedly, unable to put it down.

Seeing how much he loved it, Qin Yuenan’s lips curved up slightly, her heart filled with a sweet sense of happiness.

After all, this was the first time she had ever properly given a gift to a man.

She was also very happy that Lin Shen liked it.

"Looks like my taste is pretty good after all."

"Mm."

Lin Shen lowered his head and affectionately kissed Qin Yuenan on the forehead, asking gently with concern.

"You’ve already quit your job, yet you’re still giving me such an expensive gift. What will you do if you can’t earn money in the future?"

"You can support me."

Qin Yuenan blinked her beautiful eyes innocently.

"You wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?"

"I meant it! Of course I meant it!"

Lin Shen smiled mysteriously.

"Since I’m going to be supporting you, I have to show some sincerity."

?

Qin Yuenan froze, her expression stunned. She then saw Lin Shen also pull a watch box from his pocket.

Its pale yellow surface with delicate patterns made it obvious it was a gift for a woman.

This is...

The moment Lin Shen opened the box, Qin Yuenan’s pupils contracted.

Lying quietly inside was an exquisite wristwatch in a delicate combination of pale white and warm gold. The shimmering silver diamonds on the dial were dazzling.

"Do you like it?"

"Of course I do! I’d like anything you gave me."

Qin Yuenan covered her mouth with one hand, her expression full of surprise and disbelief.

"A Patek Philippe from the Aquanaut collection? The one that costs over seven hundred thousand?"

"That’s right."

Lin Shen personally fastened the watch on Qin Yuenan’s wrist and gave her a warm smile.

"I was thinking about buying you a gift a while ago, so I went into the store and asked. They actually had this model in stock, so I bought it."

"Thank you."

Qin Yuenan no longer knew how to describe how deeply moved she felt. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lin Shen’s neck and nestled into his embrace, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

"This watch is much more expensive than the one I gave you."

"What does price matter between us?"

"Mm."

Qin Yuenan nodded, her expression extremely serious as she said.

"They’re both watches, but your gift is more expensive than mine."

"Well then, why don’t you make up the difference?"

’Make up the difference?’

The low chuckle in her ear had just faded when Qin Yuenan suddenly felt her body go light. Lin Shen had lifted her up and was carrying her toward an empty office.
