Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 112 - 107: I Like You, Too
"Then it was all worth it."
Seeing Qin Yuenan so happy made Lin Shen feel like everything was worthwhile.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, skyscrapers rose one after another, and the neon lights were a dazzling spectacle.
Inside, Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan chatted in soft voices as they savored their dinner.
In the dim candlelight, his handsome face appeared incredibly gentle, and his deep eyes were like the night sky, as if they could draw in a person’s very soul.
Combined with his well-fitting suit and deep, magnetic voice...
Qin Yuenan’s expression was a little dazed. Her normally clear mind was slightly dizzy from the alcohol, and for a moment, she found herself gazing at Lin Shen, utterly captivated.
The sound of a pounding heartbeat echoed in her heaving chest. Overwhelming emotions crashed over Qin Yuenan’s mind like ocean waves.
Finally, unable to restrain herself, her red lips parted as she whispered his name.
"Lin Shen."
"Hm?"
"I like you."
"Huh!?"
Lin Shen froze, his expression stunned. When he looked up, he saw that Qin Yuenan’s face was incredibly serious.
This time, she didn’t look away like she usually did.
Instead, she rested her chin in her hand and stared straight at Lin Shen, not caring in the slightest that he could see the shy blush on her face. She even emphasized it, word by word.
"I said, I. Like. You." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"I like you, too."
Lin Shen smiled faintly, ripples suddenly disturbing the otherwise calm surface of his heart.
After a rather painful past relationship, he thought he would never say the word "like" again.
Because he was afraid of being hurt again.
The one who acts first in matters of the heart is often the one left in the more vulnerable position.
But what Lin Shen hadn’t expected was that the always cool and reserved Qin Yuenan would be the one to break the unspoken tension between them.
’Is it because of the alcohol?’
In any case, Qin Yuenan’s courage deeply moved Lin Shen, allowing him to smile lightly and speak his own true feelings.
"Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time, Nan."
"I bet I liked you first."
Qin Yuenan swirled the red wine in her glass. Leaning forward with her elbows on her thighs, she suddenly moved a little closer to Lin Shen.
"So, what do you like about me?"
"Everything."
Lin Shen started counting on his fingers.
"You’re beautiful, have a perfect body, you’re talented and rich, slim waist, perky butt, and especially your legs... so long and fair..."
Lin Shen’s words grew more and more risqué, making Qin Yuenan glare at him, a mix of shyness and annoyance in her eyes. But then, the corners of her lips suddenly curved into a seductive smile.
"Since you said my legs are beautiful, why don’t you touch them?"
?
Lin Shen froze.
From what he knew of Qin Yuenan, she would never be this forward. At most, she would passively consent.
’Why is she like a completely different person today? Such a huge change.’
’Did my surprise work?’
’Or is it the alcohol?’
Lin Shen couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t want to, either.
Since Qin Yuenan had extended such a direct "invitation," he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Ahem! May I?"
Lin Shen cleared his throat. Just as he was about to finally, justifiably, reach out and touch Qin Yuenan’s long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, she suddenly stood up, moved away, and let out a cold snort.
"So hesitant."
Qin Yuenan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside, listing Lin Shen’s numerous past "crimes" of teasing her. Her cool tone was inexplicably tinged with a hint of playful indignation.
"When I didn’t let you touch me, you insisted on it. Now that I’m dropping such obvious hints, you have to wait for me to say it out loud, is that it? Hmph!"
Huh?
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Shen suddenly understood Qin Yuenan’s true thoughts.
As a reserved and aloof person, she was unlikely to voice her desires directly. Therefore, wearing the black stockings was her greatest show of "sincerity" and her biggest hint.
But clearly, Lin Shen’s "inaction" had left her rather resentful.
’Just eating, drinking, and talking, without getting to the important part!’
’What was he waiting for?’
Lin Shen stood up, came up behind Qin Yuenan, and pulled her into his arms. He placed his hands on her lower abdomen, rested his chin on her smooth, delicate neck, and whispered in a teasing tone by her ear.
"So impatient, are we?"
"..."
A cord inside Qin Yuenan had been pulled taut, just waiting for Lin Shen’s flame to burn through it.
SNAP!
The last thread of reason in her mind instantly broke.
Qin Yuenan’s beautiful eyes were hazy with intoxication. She struggled to turn around, reached her fair arms up to wrap them around Lin Shen’s neck, rose onto her tiptoes, and shifted her weight forward, offering her parting, soft lips.
"Mmm..."
This kiss was more fierce and intense than all their previous kisses combined.
Lin Shen felt less like he was kissing and more like he was being "devoured" by Qin Yuenan.
Helpless, he had no choice but to use his hands to soothe the restless, delicate body in his arms.
His left hand wrapped around Qin Yuenan’s slender waist, which felt like a perfect handful. His right hand slid down, feeling the firmness and fullness of her peach-like bottom through the thin fabric.
But this did nothing to soothe her; instead, it only aroused her further.
Lin Shen realized that Qin Yuenan was no longer content with just kissing him; she had started to "gnaw" on his cheeks, neck, and ears.
She was like an entangling serpent, wanting to completely devour the thing in her embrace.
Gradually, the sweet taste of red wine was left all over Lin Shen’s face.
The unconscious murmurs that escaped Qin Yuenan’s parted lips made the fire inside Lin Shen surge wildly.
He bent down and, with a powerful, manly move, swept Qin Yuenan up into a princess carry, striding quickly toward his bedroom.
By now, her face was completely flushed. She didn’t dare lift her head to meet Lin Shen’s scorching gaze and could only cling tightly to his neck.
