As Shen Yun spoke, her tone suddenly shifted.

"Of course, not getting married is fine too. You’re free and happy. Don’t be like me, choosing the wrong person and wasting the best years of a woman’s life."

"Well, what’s past is past."

Lin Shen gently held Shen Yun’s hand.

"You seem pretty happy now, though."

"Happy? I don’t think so."

Shen Yun let out a soft sigh. It seemed she had finally found someone to confide in, and she began to complain to Lin Shen about Xia Nuonuo.

Although mother and daughter lived together, she always felt a slight distance between them.

Shen Yun had tried to have a heart-to-heart with Xia Nuonuo multiple times, but was always turned down.

This made her, as a mother, very worried. She was afraid her daughter was developing psychological issues.

But Lin Shen comforted her in a gentle voice.

"It’s probably just puberty. Everyone goes through a time like that. Relax. If you’re really worried, I can talk to her. There isn’t a big age gap between us, so we might even become friends."

"Really?"

Lin Shen’s words made Shen Yun’s eyes light up. She snuggled back into his arms and thanked him softly.

"Thank you, Shen."

"It’s nothing. It’s the least I can do."

Seeing how gentle and considerate Lin Shen was, Shen Yun was deeply moved. Her eyes glimmered, and an idea suddenly sparked in her mind.

Then, she leaned down.

Lin Shen froze, caught off guard. He thought she was just picking up something she had dropped.

But after a long moment, she didn’t come back up.

???

Although the tablecloth hanging down around them provided complete cover, their two-person booth was actually a semi-private space, partitioned by sheer curtains.

So, they could clearly tell whenever someone walked past outside.

Most importantly, the other side was a floor-to-ceiling window.

The extravagant nightscape of Modu was in full view!

Even for someone as brazen as Lin Shen, the situation made him feel nervous and apprehensive.

He couldn’t help but say with a sigh of resignation,

"Aunt Shen, come out. We can talk about this."

"Nothing to discuss."

Lin Shen tried to back down, but Shen Yun had no intention of letting him off the hook.

...

CLICK-CLACK-CLICK—!

Outside the booth, the sounds of whispered conversations mingled with the crisp clicking of high heels on the floor. People passed by the entrance every so often, making Lin Shen break out in a cold sweat.

The scene inside the booth was just too risqué.

A tempting crimson flush had long since spread across Shen Yun’s charming, mature face.

The tight, hip-hugging skirt exquisitely outlined her voluptuous and alluring figure.

Especially the curve of her hips, which swept back from her slender waist to form a pair of stunning, pronounced arcs!

The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth turned up. He gently cupped Shen Yun’s burning cheeks and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. Just as he was about to say something, a waiter slowly approached the entrance.

"Sir, would you like me to clear your plates?"

"No."

Lin Shen refused flatly, grumbling to himself.

’If I let you in here, I’ll be on the news tomorrow!’

"Very good, sir. I won’t disturb your meal any further, then."

...

Shen Yun’s eyes narrowed alluringly, and a seductive smile played on her lips.

"I’m going to the restroom."

Shen Yun straightened her dress, then got up and went to the restroom.

When she came out, Shen Yun found that Lin Shen had already paid the bill and seemed to have been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

"Aunt Shen."

Lin Shen stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Shen Yun’s slender waist, and pulled her into a quiet, secluded corner. He wanted nothing more than to crush her against him.

After all, her teasing had ignited a fire in him, and he was determined to teach the beautiful, mature woman in his arms a harsh lesson!

"Is anyone home right now?"

"My home?"

Shen Yun looked taken aback.

"What’s wrong with here? It’s so close. Or are you not comfortable at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel?"

"I want to go to your place."

Lin Shen buried his face in the crook of Shen Yun’s neck and inhaled deeply. Her intoxicating scent filled his senses.

"Of course, if your daughter is home, then forget it."

"She lives in the dorms and only comes home on weekends. Today’s Sunday, so she’s probably already back at school."

Leaning against Lin Shen’s chest, Shen Yun smiled alluringly and poked him with a finger.

"What are you scheming?"

"I’m not scheming anything."

Lin Shen shook his head, then leaned close to Shen Yun’s ear and whispered in a low, magnetic voice.

"I’m just worried Aunt Shen won’t be able to walk tomorrow morning. At home, you’ll at least be able to rest."

Hm?

Lin Shen’s words made Shen Yun’s heart skip a beat. A wave of intense heat washed over her, and her enchanting eyes grew hazy.

’Such big talk?’

Her words were filled with teasing and provocation.

"You think you can manage that?"

"Why don’t you try me and find out?"

The roguish, handsome smirk on Lin Shen’s lips made Shen Yun’s senses swim. She let him lead her into his embrace as they walked toward the elevator.

’I’d like to see just how capable this little guy really is!’

—

PM.

Zhonghai Mansion·Jiuxu.

A pure black Jaguar XFL followed a Bentley Flying Spur, and both quickly pulled into a villa’s garage.

The moment the man and woman stepped out of the garage, they fell into each other’s arms.

The sound of their sweet kisses was startlingly clear in the quiet night, echoing from the back garden all the way to the front door.

THUD—!

The moment they were through the door, Lin Shen impatiently slammed Shen Yun against the wall, making her feel the full force of his burning desire.

Of course, the beautiful, mature woman herself desperately needed this surge of male hormones to satisfy a longing that had been suppressed for far too long.

Ever since that night, she had been obsessed with his scent and the feeling of his powerful, tight embrace.

Now that her wish was granted again, Shen Yun felt her mind go completely blank.
