Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard, Building N, Apartment 2C02.

At eight in the morning, a cool breeze drifted through the mesh screen into the room, carrying with it a hint of post-rain freshness.

His excellent internal clock roused Lin Shen from the large bed, and memories of last night flooded his mind like a rising tide.

No wonder they say, "The warmth of the hibiscus canopy makes the spring night fly; from now on, the emperor will skip his morning court."

This royal treatment is pretty amazing!

An involuntary smile crept onto Lin Shen’s lips.

Last night, Jiang Wan had only gone so far as to imitate a historical drama, acting out the part of a concubine serving her master.

If they were actually an ancient emperor and his imperial concubine, she’d probably be even more alluring.

Lin Shen drew his right arm in. Just like last night, he didn’t feel Jiang Wan’s soft body.

It seemed she had gotten up to make breakfast again.

Lin Shen pushed himself into a sitting position and noticed that the once-messy room was now spotlessly clean and tidy, all thanks to Jiang Wan.

The bandeau top and various clothes that had been scattered on the floor were now folded and placed neatly at the corner of the bed. There was even a fresh set of men’s pajamas laid out for him.

’Not bad at all!’

Lin Shen smiled knowingly. ’It’s actually pretty nice having a gentle, older-sister type around who’s like a good wife and loving mother.’

’At least she keeps the house in perfect order.’

Lin Shen stretched, got out of bed, and got dressed. He didn’t rush to the bathroom to wash up, instead heading to the balcony to begin his daily workout.

Discipline is the secret to a man’s success.

When you feel like you’ve accomplished nothing, you should try working out.

Seeing your body gradually improve gives you an immense sense of satisfaction.

Lin Shen took a deep breath, picked up a dumbbell, and followed the workout video on the TV.

Seeing this from the kitchen where she was cooking, Jiang Wan thoughtfully prepared electrolyte water, a towel, and other necessities for him.

"Junior, I’ve put your things here. I’m going back to cooking now."

"Thanks, Senior."

Watching Jiang Wan busying herself in the kitchen, apron and all, filled Lin Shen’s heart with a profound sense of happiness and Sweetness.

Of course, there was also a hint of guilt and a feeling that he owed her.

Lin Shen actually found himself thinking that Jiang Wan was more suited to be a wife!

Of course, Qin Yuenan was great too, but her usual coldness and assertiveness could make a man feel a strange sense of awkwardness.

Lin Shen was long used to it, so it didn’t bother him.

But the difference became stark when he compared her to Jiang Wan.

’I wonder what Nan is up to today...’

’Didn’t she and Aunt Shen agree to meet today?’

Lin Shen’s expression turned to one of slight bewilderment.

’Those two are both the strong-willed, powerful-woman type. They’re not going to start a fight when they meet, are they?’

’I hope the Chaotic Scene doesn’t unfold this soon...’

’If it has to happen, it should at least be with more obedient ones like Lin Ping and the little girl!’

Just as Lin Shen was lost in thought, his phone buzzed with a WeChat message from Shen Yun, of all people.

It was a photo.

In it, she was wearing a black lace V-neck dress, paired with thin, breathable black thigh-high stockings and black pointed-toe high heels, exuding her sexy, mature Charm to the absolute fullest.

[Shen Yun: Shen, I’m meeting your girlfriend today. Do you think this outfit will outshine her?]

?

Seeing this message, a flicker of worry sparked in Lin Shen’s heart.

’Don’t tell me my guess was right?’

Inside a detached villa at Zhonghai Mansion·Jiuxu.

Shen Yun had woken up early to wash up and prepare for her meeting with Qin Yuenan today.

Although she had already devised a secret strategy to get on good terms with Qin Yuenan, she still had to take the inevitable female competition seriously.

Of course, Shen Yun knew she didn’t have the advantage in age, looks, or figure.

The only thing she could really bring to the table was her unique, mature Charm.

Therefore, Shen Yun decided to stick to her own sexy style, dressing up to ensure the gap between her and Qin Yuenan wasn’t too wide.

Her strong sense of pride made her unwilling to be outdone by others, especially other women.

So, she specially selected a sexy dress from her wardrobe, pairing it with black stockings and high heels to fully showcase her unique mature Charm.

"Not bad!"

Shen Yun spun around in front of the mirror, apparently very satisfied with her outfit, and snapped a photo to send to Lin Shen.

Then, she grabbed her bag, went down to the garage to get her car, and headed for the meeting spot she’d arranged with Qin Yuenan.

The Waldorf Hotel, private balcony.

As for why they chose this place, it was probably because of the view.

From the 45th-floor open-air balcony, one could overlook the entire beautiful scenery of the Pujiang River.

Since it had just rained, the river’s surface was shrouded in a vast, hazy mist, looking dreamy and ethereal.

The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

The moment Shen Yun heard that Qin Yuenan had chosen this location, she immediately understood that Lin Shen’s girlfriend was likely a girl with a rather refined personal life.

It seemed the days ahead wouldn’t be boring.

The corners of Shen Yun’s lips curled up, her competitive spirit thoroughly piqued.

After taking the elevator up, a waiter led her to the open-air balcony, where she finally saw Qin Yuenan in person.

Today, she was dressed very simply, in just a white shirt paired with light-colored jeans for a casual, natural style.

But because her cool, aloof face was so exquisitely beautiful, the simple clothes were elevated, creating a sense of minimalist fashion.
