Chapter 343: Chapter 187: Relationship
Seeing the surprise on Lin Shen’s face, Lin Ping was secretly delighted. A seductive blush instantly colored her charming cheeks as she whispered coyly.
"Weren’t you rather interested in... this sort of thing last time? I really didn’t know how to repay your kindness, so... I thought I’d give my complete self to you."
"Even though I’ve been married before, in certain... respects... well, I’m still perfectly fine."
"You really don’t have to do this."
Lin Shen pulled Lin Ping into his arms, deeply moved.
"You’ve helped me a lot, you just don’t know it."
"But as a woman, I hope I can satisfy you better in that way."
Lin Ping rested her head against Lin Shen’s muscular chest, her beautiful, misty eyes filled with deep affection and resolve.
"Will you give me a chance?"
"Of course."
Lin Shen smiled.
"A beautiful woman like you... I don’t believe any man could say no."
"Hubby~"
Lin Ping could no longer contain her inner turmoil and affection. She proactively wrapped her arms around Lin Shen’s neck and gave him the kiss she could no longer wait to deliver.
But she pulled away after just a moment.
After all, more than kissing, she was eager to get to Lin Shen’s place so she could return home at a reasonable hour.
"Hubby, let’s go."
"Mm."
Lin Shen wrapped his arm around Lin Ping’s curvy waist as they went downstairs. He then drove out of the complex.
—
「Sunac Binjiang No.1 Courtyard.」
As the magnificent and luxurious residential complex slowly came into view, Lin Ping was filled with astonishment.
She had imagined Lin Shen’s home would be luxurious, but she never expected this level of opulence!
’This is one of the most expensive areas in all of Modu!’
’The price for a single square meter has to be around a hundred thousand, if not more!’
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Ping curiously gazed at the complex’s surroundings through the window.
Even though it was late at night, the paths were bathed in a soft, magnificent glow.
Under the gentle lighting, the greenery gleamed with a verdant luster; it was obvious at a glance that these were rare and expensive species of plants.
As the car entered the underground garage, a glance upward revealed a dazzling and luxurious starlight ceiling, making Lin Ping gasp in admiration.
"What a beautiful place! How much must a home here cost...?"
"The cheaper ones are around twenty million, I think."
Lin Shen’s casual reply piqued Lin Ping’s curiosity.
"Then, President Lin, how much was your place?"
"Over thirty million."
’Over thirty million...’
Lin Ping muttered the astronomical figure to herself. For the first time, she was getting a clearer picture of Lin Shen’s wealth.
’To be able to speak so casually about a thirty-million-plus property, it must mean this is just a fraction of President Lin’s assets.’
’It’s probably not even a tenth of his total net worth.’
’Does that mean... President Lin is worth over three hundred million?’
Lin Ping was utterly shocked.
’That number itself isn’t completely unheard of in Modu, but when you factor in Lin Shen’s age...’
’Barely in his twenties, with a net worth in the hundreds of millions...’
Just thinking about it felt incredible to Lin Ping.
’Now *this* is what it truly means to be young and successful!’
Lin Ping pressed her full lips together. While she felt proud of Lin Shen, a powerful wave of insecurity also washed over her.
’What have I possibly done to deserve a man like this? He’s one of the world’s most elite young tycoons.’
’A man like Lin Shen could have any woman he wants, couldn’t he?’
’So why on earth did he choose me?’
Lin Ping was confused. But after stealing a glance at her dejected expression, Lin Shen knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Don’t overthink it."
Lin Shen chuckled, stroking Lin Ping’s shapely thigh.
"I have my reasons for choosing you. You don’t need to feel insecure about the gap between us. You just need to understand what kind of woman you are to me, and focus on playing that part well."
’What kind of woman?’
Lin Shen’s profound words made Lin Ping blink. After a moment of thought, it dawned on her.
’A mature woman!’
’That was the role I used to get close to Lin Shen in the first place!’
’According to him, all I need to do now is maintain that persona.’
It was just like they say online:
"For a man, it doesn’t matter what kind of woman you are. What’s important is that you’re a *new* kind!"
’Novelty is a man’s ultimate goal!’
’President Lin probably doesn’t have a "mature woman" type in his circle, which is how I was able to climb the ladder.’
’Therefore, I just need to play the "mature woman" role perfectly!’
"I understand now."
Now that she understood her place, Lin Ping felt much more at ease. Her tense expression relaxed, replaced by a charming and feminine smile.
"I’ll be sure to play my part well."
?
To be honest, Lin Shen was a little baffled.
’He’d only meant to use some profound-sounding words to comfort her, but it seemed to have worked surprisingly well?’
’Did she... actually figure something out?’
’Don’t worry about *how* she figured it out. The point is, the method worked!’
"Mm."
Lin Shen smiled and gave a noncommittal response, then pulled the car into his designated parking spot.
Compared to the various luxury cars parked around it, his Jaguar XFL looked rather plain.
This made Lin Ping slightly curious. After getting out of the car, she linked her arm with Lin Shen’s and asked.
"President Lin, are you going to drive the Yangwang U7 you ordered today?"
"And the Maybach S680."
Lin Shen gave a slight smile.
"It just hasn’t been built yet. By the time it’s delivered, this old Jag of mine will probably be retired... Thinking about it now, I’m actually a little sad to see it go."
"I know what you mean."
Lin Ping agreed with a sigh.
"For a man, a car is like an old friend. It really hurts for a while when you have to replace one."
"You seem to get it."
