Chapter 455: Chapter 221: Lady Boss (2)
"Lin Shen, breakfast is ready. Come and eat."
"Okay."
Lin Shen stretched and glanced back to find Jiang Wan standing at the doorway with a gentle smile.
At some point, she had taken off all her clothes, wearing only an apron!
Two thin straps hung around her elegant, swan-like neck. The small piece of fabric could hardly conceal her soft, delicate body, revealing large swathes of fine, fair skin.
Her long, shapely legs peeked out from under the hem of the apron, looking incredibly seductive.
This made Lin Shen’s eyes widen, his heart pounding in his chest.
’She really did what I said?’
’This is amazing!’
Noticing Lin Shen’s increasingly scorching gaze, Jiang Wan shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and tugged the hem of her apron down a bit.
’As I was walking over, I kept feeling like I was about to be exposed, and I couldn’t calm my nerves.’
’But it’s just the two of us at home, so does it really matter if I’m a little exposed?’
PHEW—!
Jiang Wan took a deep breath. After composing herself and quelling her shyness, she looked at Lin Shen and chided him coquettishly.
"Still staring? The breakfast will get cold."
"Jiang Wan, you’re so beautiful."
Lin Shen praised her from the bottom of his heart. As he got closer, he discovered more details of Jiang Wan’s limited-edition "naked apron" skin.
For instance, the hazy feeling of being half-hidden was far more seductive and full of Charm than being completely naked.
The longer Lin Shen looked, the drier his mouth felt. He walked up to Jiang Wan and let his hands roam all over her, causing her to blush deeply. She feigned anger and complained,
"Stop it! Are we eating or not?"
"I want to eat you first."
"No! I just made breakfast, it’ll get cold... Mmph!"
Before Jiang Wan could finish, the rest of her words were smothered by Lin Shen’s kiss.
He then pulled her into the master bedroom and locked the door from the inside.
Immediately after, a flurry of sounds that sent one’s imagination running wild could be heard from within.

「9:00 AM.」
Qin Yuenan drove to the entrance of the first Shennan Pet Society store.
This was her first time formally inspecting the store she had invested in, and she felt a faint sense of anticipation.
She had been too busy before and hadn’t found a chance to come and take a look.
Now that her work as the marketing director at Pet Guardian Home had reached a stopping point, Qin Yuenan could finally free up some time to visit the physical store and satisfy her curiosity.
She had come across the promotional ads Lin Shen had been running online many times before.
In the videos, Shennan Pet Society’s interior design and cat quality completely crushed other cat cafes in the same price range.
Even Pet Guardian Home’s regular stores couldn’t compare.
The only thing that could compete was probably Pet Guardian Home’s flagship stores in major cities.
After getting out of the car under her umbrella, Qin Yuenan was suddenly struck by a wave of cold air.
It made her instinctively pull her coat tighter. She looked up at the fine drizzle, thinking, ’The weather’s gotten cold.’
’I wonder if Lin Shen put on warmer clothes?’
At that moment, Qin Yuenan had assumed business at the Cat Cafe would be slow on a rainy day, but the entrance to Shennan Pet Society was still packed with customers’ electric scooters.
The manager had even thoughtfully set up a simple awning to provide shelter from the rain. Their service and emergency preparedness were, one could say, excellent.
’Not bad.’
Qin Yuenan nodded in satisfaction. She walked into the Cat Cafe, placed her umbrella in the stand by the door, and then looked around.
The atmosphere inside was friendly and harmonious. Many customers were interacting with the cats. There were also many influencers taking photos to post online, accompanied by professional staff like photographers and lighting technicians.
And in a corner of the store, an employee was live-streaming on their phone, holding a cat. A few bags of pet food were placed by their feet, and from the way they were constantly talking, it looked like they were selling products.
All in all, the store was a picture of bustling activity.
To be honest, such a lively scene was a bit beyond Qin Yuenan’s expectations.
After all, it was common knowledge that foot traffic for brick-and-mortar businesses plummets in bad weather.
But Shennan Pet Society seemed unaffected.
’This kind of defies business logic...’
’Could it be that the society’s business is usually even better than this?’
Filled with doubt, Qin Yuenan walked up to the counter. The young lady at the register saw her and asked with a smile,
"Hello, ma’am. Are you just buying an entry ticket, or a package deal? Our package includes an exquisite dessert set, which is perfect for taking photos to post online. And it’s not expensive, only 69.9 yuan."
"I’m looking for your manager."
Qin Yuenan’s words left the receptionist completely stunned. She took a moment to recover before carefully sizing up the aloof, queenly beauty before her.
Although she was dressed plainly, her beautiful and delicate features, as well as her tall and graceful figure, were on par with those of an A-list female celebrity.
Especially her long legs in those jeans—the receptionist had only ever seen such a perfect waist-to-hip and leg-to-body ratio in magazines.
She was just like a model.
As a woman herself, the receptionist was filled with awe and envy.
’Could this be another influencer Boss Lin hired for a promotional photoshoot?’
"Okay, please wait a moment. I’ll go get our manager."
Not daring to keep her waiting, the receptionist immediately ran to the back of the store and called for Qi Hao.
"Hello."
When Qi Hao came out, he too was stunned by Qin Yuenan’s figure and appearance. He silently rated her as the number one influencer to visit the store recently.
’This queen is on another level!’
Qi Hao marveled inwardly before introducing himself.
"I’m Qi Hao, the manager of this store. May I ask your surname?"
"Qin."
Qin Yuenan crossed her arms, her expression indifferent as she stated her purpose.
"I’m here to inspect the store. Lin Shen should have told you, right?"
Huh?
’Inspect?’
Qi Hao’s expression froze for a second. Then, his pupils contracted, and he hurriedly asked in a hushed voice,
"Are you Ms. Qin Yuenan?"
"Yes."
’So she’s President Lin’s partner!’
Qi Hao was startled. He really hadn’t expected to run into the number-two boss coming for an inspection on a rainy day!
He quickly invited Qin Yuenan to sit in a quiet corner, which made the other employees curious.
’The only person Qi Hao treats this politely is President Lin, right?’
’Who is this woman?’
’She looks just like a major celebrity!’
The flames of gossip burned brightly in the employees’ hearts. They all had a bold guess but didn’t dare to be certain.
However, Qi Hao thought it was very likely.
That is—Qin Yuenan was Lin Shen’s girlfriend!
But just to be safe, Qi Hao still asked cautiously,
"If you don’t mind me asking, what is your relationship with our Boss Lin?"
"I’m his girlfriend."
Qin Yuenan admitted it openly. She knew exactly what Qi Hao was worried about.
After all, the store’s core operational data definitely couldn’t be shown to an outsider.
It was better to be cautious at times like this to prevent competitors from playing dirty tricks.
Therefore, Qin Yuenan wasn’t angered by Qi Hao’s extra question. She even took out her phone and showed him an intimate photo of herself with Lin Shen to prove her identity.
This act completely dispelled Qi Hao’s doubts, leaving him utterly shocked.
’It’s really true!’
’Boss Lin’s girlfriend is this beautiful?!’
As a man, Qi Hao was filled with all sorts of envy for Lin Shen.
As a subordinate, his attitude toward Qin Yuenan became even more gentle and polite. After having an employee bring over some coffee, he asked with a smile,
"What do you need me to do?"
"Bring me the store’s account books and all the various data," Qin Yuenan said bluntly.
"Also, what has the store’s average daily revenue been recently?"
"Around thirty thousand yuan a day."
Qi Hao answered Qin Yuenan’s question with practiced ease.
"It’s down about 25% compared to when we first opened, but it has stabilized. Today, probably due to the weather, it might be down another 10% or so."
How much?!
When Qin Yuenan heard the number Qi Hao reported, she thought she had misheard. She was completely floored.
’The daily revenue is actually thirty thousand?!’
