Huh?
Lin Ping was a little stunned.
After all, she was naturally shy. Something this bold was truly beyond her imagination.
But upon careful consideration, she realized what Lin Shen said wasn’t wrong.
...
Lin Ping bit her lip. Under the soft light of the dining room, her pretty, flushed face was faintly visible.
But soon, this beautiful woman made her decision.
The corners of Lin Shen’s mouth tilted up. To prevent any accidents, he went and turned off all the lights in the house.
Only the cool moonlight remained, spilling through the window and draping a thin, silver veil over all the furniture.
That included Lin Ping’s stunning face, which still held a mature, exquisite, and gentle allure.

「9:30 PM.」
Shen Mingchuan, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly jolted awake with a violent shudder, feeling as if he had just fallen from a great height.
’Did I fall asleep?’
Shen Mingchuan looked around with sleepy, hazy eyes. In the pitch-black darkness, he realized he was slumped over the dining table.
And next to him, a figure was sitting.
!?
Shen Mingchuan jumped in fright, the alcoholic haze in his mind instantly clearing by more than half.
He rubbed his eyes. When he took a closer look and recognized the person next to him, his expression turned to one of astonishment.
"President Lin?"
"You’re awake?"
Lin Shen turned his head and smiled faintly, which made Shen Mingchuan suddenly feel extremely embarrassed.
"Sorry, President Lin! I must have dozed off. Where’s Ping?"
"She went to put Anan to sleep."
Lin Shen gestured with his chin toward the inner room, making Shen Mingchuan exceptionally happy.
’Ping is actually willing to stay at my place?’
’This is great!’
’Even though she’s just in Anan’s room, it’s enough to prove that the resentment in her heart is slowly fading.’
’As long as Ping is willing to come back to this home, I have a 100% chance of getting back together with her!’
"Hehe."
Shen Mingchuan couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, then immediately tried to cozy up to Lin Shen again.
"President Lin, it’s so late. Why don’t you stay the night here? I’ll sleep on the sofa, and you can take the king-sized bed in the master bedroom."
"Alright," Lin Shen said with a grin, his eyes narrowing.
Shen Mingchuan swayed as he stood up. Just as he was about to turn on the lights, Lin Shen stopped him.
"Just go straight to bed."
"Okay, then you get some rest too, President Lin."
Although he was a bit puzzled as to why Lin Shen wanted to stay in such a dark place, Shen Mingchuan had only one thought right now: sleep!
’So sleepy!’
The physical and mental exhaustion made Shen Mingchuan’s steps unsteady. After reaching the sofa, he collapsed onto it with a loud THUD.
Before long, his earth-shattering snores started up again.
Lin Shen observed for a moment. Seeing that Shen Mingchuan wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He looked down under the table. Once his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could faintly make out the stunning woman kneeling on the cold floor.
"Come on out. He’s gone to sleep."
Lin Shen gently stroked Lin Ping’s head, causing her to bite her lip.
Lin Ping crawled out from under the table. After standing up, she first straightened her disheveled hip-hugging skirt before looking worriedly toward the sofa.
"Let’s go. To the master bedroom. There’s something I want to discuss with you."
Lin Shen took a step forward, wrapping his arm around Lin Ping’s sexy waist, which was accentuated by her skirt.
However, her delicate body trembled, her flustered expression filled with a trace of conflict.
Seeing this, Lin Shen raised an eyebrow.
"What’s wrong? Still not mentally prepared?"
