Chapter 353 - 190: Your Boyfriend
"He’s so handsome! Who is that guy?"
"I don’t know. He probably doesn’t work for Pet Guardian Home, or word would have gotten around by now."
"You don’t recognize Lin Shen? He used to be in Marketing Team One, but he resigned."
"Huh? Then how did he get in?"
"No idea. Maybe his old work badge hasn’t been deactivated yet?"
...
Listening to the buzz of discussion from his former colleagues, Lin Shen wore a faint smile. He walked with his chest out and head held high, his stride carrying the sharp air of a CEO.
In front of everyone, he walked up to the Marketing Director’s office door and raised a hand to knock.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!
"Come in."
After getting Qin Yuenan’s permission, Lin Shen walked into the office. His signature smile vanished, replaced by an extremely cold expression.
’Since Nan wanted me to be more ’S’, I have to look the part.’
However, the new director was clearly unaware of the couple’s private flirtatious games. She even thought Lin Shen looked quite handsome when he was angry!
’Could he be a new director, too?’
’Which department?’
’If he’s single, maybe I could get to know him...’
Just as the new marketing director was about to step forward and ask, Lin Shen flicked his left wrist, glanced at his watch, and said impatiently, his brow furrowed.
"Qin Yuenan, it’s late. Why aren’t you off work yet?"
???
The new director’s smile froze on her face, her expression filled with terror.
’No way!’
’He actually dared to call Director Qin by her full name?’
’Doesn’t everyone know how cold and aloof she is?!’
Even those close to her wouldn’t dare be so disrespectful.
’And you just call her by her full name?’
The new director shrank back, feeling the atmosphere in the office suddenly grow tense and hostile.
However, Qin Yuenan was the one to apologize.
"I’m sorry, I was just finishing up some work."
Huh?
’Director Qin actually apologized?’
The new director turned her head in astonishment. She saw that not only had Qin Yuenan apologized, but her expression held no trace of annoyance. Instead, adoration was gathering in her cool eyes, which were fixed entirely on the man before her.
"Can you wait a little while?"
"I can’t."
Lin Shen strode directly to the desk, grabbed Qin Yuenan’s wrist, and pulled her to her feet, leading her out of the room without another word.
"You’re coming with me."
"..."
The new director covered her mouth with one hand. ’These few short minutes felt like watching a twenty-minute-long idol drama!’
’The cool, aloof ’queen’ director at work actually has a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend who’s even colder than her and keeps her in line?’
’He even came during work hours to drag her away, and she didn’t even resist?’
’What kind of movie plot is this?!’
’It’s so melodramatic!’
’But I love it!’
It was cheesy, but seeing such a fantasy play out in real life, the new director suddenly found herself a little envious of Qin Yuenan.
Mainly, it was because her boyfriend was handsome enough, with the image and aura of a CEO, so his actions didn’t feel out of place at all.
If it had been an ordinary person, it probably would have just been toe-curlingly awkward.
"No wonder he’d just up and quit a job worth over a million a year. Turns out he’s being kept!"
The new director couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
「Outside, in the office area.」
It was almost the end of the workday, and everyone was still chattering about the handsome man they had just seen.
But not long after he entered Qin Yuenan’s office, he came right back out, pulling her by the hand.
This drew shocked and curious stares from everyone.
The handsome young man in his sharp suit walked in front.
The perpetually cold Director Qin was pulled along, stumbling, her indifferent expression now showing a hint of shyness.
’Isn’t this straight out of a TV drama?’
After a moment of stunned silence, everyone started guessing Lin Shen’s identity.
To treat Qin Yuenan with such a firm hand, "boyfriend" didn’t seem like a strong enough title.
’He’s most likely her fiancé!’
’The kind who are about to get married, too!’
’Maybe he’s so angry because she was delaying their pre-wedding planning!’
’That’s totally it!’
The female employees formed small groups, squealing softly and whispering to each other.
Meanwhile, the male employees sighed, feeling a bitter sense of jealousy, as if their goddess had been sullied.
Only Qin Yuenan was in a state of inner panic.
She had wanted Lin Shen to act a little more ’S’, but she hadn’t expected him to be this forceful!
’Dragging me away like this, right in front of all my employees?’
’This is so humiliating!’
’Couldn’t you at least let me save some face?!’
But... Qin Yuenan stole several glances at Lin Shen in his formal suit, especially his cold side profile framed by his glasses. Just a single glimpse sent a shiver through her and made her heart race.
’What girl could possibly say no to a boyfriend like this?’
Lin Shen led Qin Yuenan into the elevator, but instead of going down, he pressed the button for the 14th floor.
This made her a little curious, and she asked in a low voice.
"Is the office space you leased done with renovations?"
"Yeah."
Lin Shen stood with his hands in his pockets, staring straight ahead, his gaze never wavering.
Feeling ignored, Qin Yuenan felt a little resentful and pouted slightly.
’The usually gentle and cheerful Lin Shen dares to treat me with this kind of attitude!’
’It’s just... it’s just too wonderful!’
A blush spread across Qin Yuenan’s face from the excitement, and a strange light danced in her cool eyes.
It’s not just men who like a little contrast; women do, too.
When someone you know well suddenly shows a completely different side, it gives you the thrilling feeling of having a brand-new boyfriend!
Qin Yuenan felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She took several deep breaths to calm her restless emotions, then secretly tugged on the corner of Lin Shen’s jacket and asked tentatively.
