Chapter 210 Arguments and Reconciliations (6k words combined)

Qin Yuennan had been dating Lin Shen for about a month and considered herself to know him quite well.

But now it seems that there are still many shining qualities in him that have not been discovered.

He speaks fluent English, can converse with locals, has Ferrari's overseas partners, and even possesses rare items like a racing driver's license.

Qin Yuennan increasingly felt that Lin Shen had too many mysterious aspects, and her desire to explore him grew stronger.

And this is usually the fundamental factor that makes a girl fall in love with a boy.

Qin Yuennan tugged at Lin Shen's sleeve from under the table and whispered in his ear.

"Is there anything else I don't know? Tell me the truth."

"There are plenty of them."

Lin Shen's smile was quite mysterious.

You'll understand eventually.

"Humph."

Qin Yuenan snorted coldly, appearing calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, she was secretly delighted by Lin Shen's powerful background.

At this moment, Zhao Jianing asked in astonishment.

"Huh? Lin Shen, you've already ordered a car?"

"correct."

Lin Shen didn't speak; Lorenzo answered for him instead.

"Mr. Lin Shen is our esteemed joint venture partner at Ferrari. It is an honor for us to give him the SF90. We thank Mr. Lin Shen for recognizing Ferrari and welcome him to the Ferrari family!"

Joint venture partner?

This identity truly surprised Zhao Jianing, and her gaze towards Lin Shen became increasingly strange.

"Your investment scope is a bit too broad... The pet industry has absolutely nothing to do with manufacturing."

"hey-hey."

Lin Shen smiled sheepishly, while Zhao Jianing looked at Lorenzo.

"Which SF90 did Lin Shen order? Can I see the order? I want to know if the configuration has been upgraded."

"it is good."

Lorenzo sent a screenshot of the order to Zhao Jianing, who, along with Qin Yuennan who had come over, browsed through it, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

"680 million? That's top-of-the-line! And it's the Spider convertible! That's really impressive, it makes me want to order one too..."

"After all, this is a car that's going to be shown at the auto show."

Although it's a stock car and can't be customized, this Spider convertible SF90 really appeals to Lin Shen in every way.

Whether it's the infrared black paint and interior, or the aerodynamic components and carbon fiber modules, they are all top-of-the-line options worldwide.

So Lin Shen couldn't resist and placed an order directly, even paying the full amount on the spot!
His generous and magnanimous demeanor startled Lorenzo, who kept giving him a thumbs-up.

Of course, Lin Shen's reason for readily paying was to complete the task of the payment collection app as soon as possible and move on to the next stage.

Ding--!
After receiving the text message, Lin Shen quietly took out his phone from under the table to check it.

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于09月16日20:45支出RMB6，800，000元，当前余额：7，200，000」

To be honest, Lin Shen felt a little heartbroken when he saw that his bank card balance had been reduced by half.

After all, this was his savings of more than a month!
Fortunately, I now own the top-of-the-line Ferrari SF90 of my dreams.

The emotional value provided by this sports car alone is enough to make Lin Shen happy for a long time.

Not to mention, after checking the information on Shoukuanbao, he received even better news.

!! ?
Lin Shen was initially distressed about losing half of his savings, but when he saw that his bank card had suddenly received a remittance of nearly 20 million yuan, his heart skipped a beat and his expression was filled with joy.

What the hell!

A one-time cashback of over 20 million?

Lin Shen couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.

This Dream Ride Card MAX Edition is a great thing!
They actually gave so much money!

Seeing Lin Shen's cheerful expression, Qin Yuennan leaned over and asked curiously.

"What are you so happy about?"

"An extra remittance was made."

Lin Shen proudly showed Qin Yuennan the text message confirming the receipt of the payment. When she saw the eight-figure remittance, her pupils constricted slightly and she trembled.

Twenty million?
what?
real or fake?

Seeing Qin Yuennan's adorable, bewildered expression with her mouth slightly agape, Lin Shen explained.

"Dividends from overseas investments."

"What kind of dividend can be 20 million in one go? Why do I only get a few hundred thousand from my investment?"

Qin Yuennan felt a little jealous and clicked her tongue twice.

"I really don't understand why you would start a business if you have so much money. If it were me, I would have already given up."

“I’m not starting this business just for myself.”

Lin Shen smiled leisurely and chatted freely.

"It's not that I'm doing this, but rather that I want to enable more people to have good jobs and start their own businesses. I have such abundant resources, so why not create more wealth and share it with everyone? Besides..."

Lin Shen lowered his head and whispered intimately to Qin Yuennan, their faces close together.

"The last character of Shennan is Nan, and it also includes your shares, Sister Nan. Shouldn't I do my part?"

"..."

Lin Shen's words touched Qin Yuhuan, and her originally indifferent eyes were now filled with deep emotions.

Her usually cool voice has become much softer.

"Your ideals are quite lofty, thank you."

"It would be too formal for us to say thank you."

Lin Shen chuckled lightly, then looked at Lorenzo beside him.

"Mr. Lorenzo, do you still have any Ferrari LaFerrari in stock?"

"LaFerrari?"

Upon hearing that Lin Shen was interested in this "legendary" Ferrari, Lorenzo immediately expressed his deep apologies.

"The LaFerrari was discontinued in 2016, and there are currently no new cars on the market. Most of them are in the garages of collectors, after all, it was too popular."

"Yes."

Lin Shen said with some regret.

He still has two chances to win his dream car card. If he buys a car at a 90% discount, his savings of over 20 million yuan can buy a car worth at least 200 million yuan.

Forgive Lin Shen's limited knowledge, but he simply cannot imagine what a car worth over 200 million yuan looks like.

Even if it were made of pure gold, it wouldn't be worth that much!
Moreover, once a car's price reaches this level, it's not necessarily something you can buy even with money.

One needs an extremely high social status to have access to it.

Therefore, Lin Shen plans to put this dream car card aside for the time being, and maybe he can use it when he meets a real luxury car collector or goes abroad.

"You're not thinking of buying a LaFerrari, are you?"

Seeing Lin Shen's dejected look, Zhao Jianing couldn't help but lean closer to look at his bewildered face.

"This car is worth over 20 million on the market, but it's been sold for over 50 million on the used car market! There are even cases where it's available but there's no market for it!"

"I've always wanted one but couldn't find anyone to sell it. You're quite capable, kid. After getting the SF90, you immediately set your sights on the LaFerrari."

"After all, it represents the pinnacle of Ferrari's hybrid technology."

Lin Shen had thoroughly learned about Ferrari's history from Lorenzo, so he naturally knew which of their cars was the best.

But there's nothing we can do about it; some things are just like that—you can't necessarily buy them even if you have money.

This is one of the reasons why Lin Shen wanted to start his own business.

For men, status and wealth are both indispensable and complementary.

Having money without power is just being a nouveau riche, not a true tycoon.

However, Lin Shen was not discouraged and continued to dominate the dinner table, chatting happily with everyone.

Thus, the dinner ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

9 pm.

"Mr. Lorenzo, Mr. Matteo, I'll look for you again when I have time. Take care!"

After watching the two drive away in their Ferrari Purosangue, Zhao Jianing turned her gaze to Qin Yuennan, who was holding Lin Shen's arm, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Shall we find a place to have a drink?"

"No."

Qin Yuennan clearly had "serious business" to attend to with Lin Shen, so she directly refused.

"Let's talk another day."

"You're so eager to go home?"

Zhao Jianing made a sarcastic remark, then put her hands on her hips and pretended to scold Lin Shen.

"Zhao! Jianing!"

Zhao Jianing's serious teasing made Qin Yuennan's pretty face flush red. She walked over and playfully hit her, unable to help but scold her shyly.

"You'd better find a boyfriend already! Stop wasting your time!"

"Finding a boyfriend isn't that hard."

Zhao Jianing shook her phone and said with a smile.

"If I just post a random message on WeChat Moments like 'Anyone want to go out for drinks tonight?', do you believe a ton of people would be clamoring to invite me?"

"Of course I believe it."

Qin Yuening couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Jianing, then said earnestly.

"But you should settle down and find someone suitable to settle down with, and get married soon."

"You really want me to walk into the grave of love? Besides, it's easier said than done."

Zhao Jianing sighed, then changed the subject and teased.

"Nannan, I think Lin Shen is quite good, and you like him a lot, so why don't you get married sooner?"

"..."

Zhao Jianing's words were like icy needles, cold and sharp, gently piercing Qin Yuennan's self-protected heart and deeply touching her soul. She was dazed and stunned, her gaze wandering, her red lips slightly parted but unable to utter a word, and then she fell into a long silence.

Seeing that Qin Yuennan was in a bad mood, Zhao Jianing immediately went over and interacted with her with a smile. After comforting her for a while, her expression softened.

"You guys have fun, I'm leaving now, bye-bye!"

Then, a pure black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the side of the road. After Zhao Jianing got in, it quickly disappeared into the bustling traffic.

The two watched her leave, and then Lin Shen said leisurely.

"Let's go home, Sister Nan."

Just as Lin Shen turned to get in the car, Qin Yuennan suddenly reached out and tightly grabbed his clothes, her red lips slightly parted as she whispered.

"Did you hear what Ningning said?"

"Ah."

Lin Shen nodded, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

As expected, Qin Yuennan slightly raised her chin, her clear and beautiful eyes staring straight into Lin Shen's eyes.

Don't you want to say something?

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen, who was usually very eloquent, fell into a long silence.

He clearly knew what Qin Yuennan wanted, but he couldn't give it to her.

After all, marriage is a major life event and cannot be decided lightly.

Moreover, Lin Shen has other women around him.

He believed that if he were to get married, it would be an insult to the purest and most beautiful relationship between men and women.

He doesn't deserve it.

But Qin Yuennan didn't care about any of that and blurted out all her thoughts.

"I'm already 28, and I'll be 30 in two years. Do you know what 30 means for a woman?"

"It means my appearance has faded; it means my skin is wrinkled; it means my bodily functions are declining; it means I... am no longer young."

Qin Yuennan's cool voice carried a hint of inexplicable sorrow.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the cool evening breeze ruffled her soft, dark hair, which then partially obscured her face.

This added a touch of messy, broken beauty to her originally sharp and arrogant temperament.

At this moment, Lin Shen suddenly realized that the aloof, unapproachable, strong and stubborn older sister was actually more fragile than anyone else inside.

More than anyone else, she longed for a lifetime of companionship.

Lin Shen could make this promise, but not now, so he asked softly.

"Can you give me a moment?"

"You're only 25, you have plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of this world, but I can't wait!"

Qin Yuenan stepped forward slowly, pressing her forehead against Lin Shen's chest. There was no blame or anger in her tone, only a faint sadness spreading through her.

"I'm a little tired today and want to go home and rest for a while. How about we each go home?"

"Ah."

Arguments between adults don't require hysterical emotional outbursts; they simply involve sharing thoughts and exchanging ideas, followed by compromise.

Moreover, Lin Shen didn't think he was arguing with Qin Yuennan; the two simply had a disagreement.

At this moment, both sides need time to calm down and think things through.

Lin Shen's thoughts are a bit chaotic right now, and he needs to sort them out.

"Good night."

Qin Yuennan tiptoed and gently kissed Lin Shen's lips, then gave him a long-lost smile before turning and leaving.

Looking at her lonely and desolate figure, Lin Shen's heart was deeply touched.

He never expected that Qin Yuennan had this side to her.

"It's so hard to be a scumbag!"

Lin Shen sighed softly and walked to the parking lot, only to find that Qin Yuennan's Volvo S90 had already driven away.

So he got into the driver's seat of his Jaguar XFL, adjusted the air conditioning temperature and playlist, closed the windows, and quietly listened to several nostalgic songs from the 1990s.

As those familiar melodies lingered in his ears, Lin Shen felt completely relaxed, and his thoughts gradually settled.

He then started the car, and with the engine humming, floored the accelerator and drove away from the parking lot.

At 9:30 p.m., Lin Shen returned home.

As is customary, I took a shower first, and then, after a long absence, I opened a bottle of Château Margaux. After sobering up, I sat on the balcony, drinking and enjoying the city night view outside the window.

The swaying wine glass reflects the dazzling skyscrapers, creating a mesmerizing scene.

Lin Shen considered Qin Yuennan's request.

She wants to get married.

But Lin Shen felt it wasn't the right time.

His career was just starting out, and he hadn't yet sorted out his relationships with the women around him; he hadn't even let them meet each other.

If they suddenly got married, everything would probably fall apart.

Lin Shen felt it was necessary to wait until everything settled down before considering this matter.

"call--!"

Lin Shen breathed a long sigh of relief. After figuring things out, he felt completely relaxed, and the weight that had been pressing on his heart finally lifted.

Coincidentally, at this time, Qin Yuennan shared a series of funny and quirky short videos on Douyin, seemingly trying to ease the tension between her and Lin Shen.

He even took the initiative to apologize on WeChat.

[Qin Yuennan: I'm sorry, I was being petty just now. I miss you so much.]
The moment Lin Shen saw the message, his heart clenched.

Qin Yuennan rarely reveals her true feelings to others, not even Lin Shen.

They would never say things like "I miss you," which express their vulnerability.

Unless it really gets to the point where it can't be controlled anymore.

So Lin Shen stood up immediately, quickly dressed without hesitation, grabbed his keys, went downstairs, and drove straight to Qin Yuennan's house.

Jiayuting, Room 1602, Building 5.

After taking a shower, Qin Yuennan wrapped her long hair in a towel and lay on the bed wearing only a thin silk nightgown, holding her phone and sharing interesting short videos she had come across with Lin Shen.

She felt strange today; her brain seemed to be having a spasm, and she couldn't think straight.

She was fine at first, but after Zhao Jianing started talking about marriage, she started acting strangely.

Lin Shen is so good to me. He not only gives me all kinds of gifts, but he even founded Shennan in my name.

And yet I treated him so badly!

I really brought this on myself!
Qin Yuennan turned to the side, feeling deeply remorseful.

What's wrong with not getting married?
Even if we're in a relationship for a lifetime, what does it matter as long as Lin Shen continues to love me?

Although that's what she thought, Qin Yuennan still had worries.

As you get older, you'll definitely become less attractive.

Will Lin Shen really continue to like me then?
Qin Yuennan couldn't guarantee anything, so she thought of using marriage to bind Lin Shen and get his promise to love her forever.

Because she was certain that Lin Shen would never go back on his word!

He is a very honest person!

Although he's a womanizer and a scumbag when it comes to romantic relationships.

But he's not a fraud!
Qin Yuennan pursed her lips. After a struggle with her inner conflict, she finally couldn't suppress her longing and sent a message to Lin Shen.

After all, this was the first serious argument the two had since they started dating, and as a woman, she naturally had to give the proud man a way out.

As a result, Lin Shen did not respond to the message for a long time.

This made Qin Yuennan panic.

After all, Lin Shen always replied to her messages instantly before, but this time...

Is Lin Shen really angry?
Qin Yuennan's mind began to wander uncontrollably, and she was so helpless that she didn't know what to do even after sitting up in bed.

She was terrified of breaking up with Lin Shen, so she kept calling him, over and over again...

But it rang for a long time without being answered.

This made Qin Yuening slap herself hard, and she felt extremely regretful.

Why did you have to bring this up?
They'd only known each other for a little over a month, and he was already pressuring her to get married!

"what--!"

Qin Yuennan grabbed her hair in utter frustration, frantically searching for a solution.

No!

I have to see him!

Let's make it clear face to face!
Qin Yuennan is a true doer; she immediately got out of bed and was about to get dressed when her phone suddenly received a WeChat message.

Ding--!
[Lin Shen: Open the door.]
what?
Qin Yuennan picked up her phone and was immediately stunned. After a moment, she came to her senses and, without even putting on her slippers, ran barefoot to the door.

Upon opening the door, they indeed found Lin Shen, who was slightly out of breath.

He waved his phone, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"You mean me, right?"

"..."

Qin Yuennan bit her slightly droopy lips, tears welling up in her red eyes, her resentful gaze fixed on Lin Shen.

This pitiful little expression is nothing like his usual aloof and indifferent demeanor.

"Don't cry."

Lin Shen was genuinely surprised that the usually strong Qin Yuennan would cry. He quickly bent down slightly, put his left hand on her shoulder, and used the back of his right hand to wipe away her tears.

"Here I am."

"I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Qin Yuennan had just experienced the darkest twenty minutes of her life. The shadow of breaking up with Lin Shen had been looming over her, making it hard for her to breathe.

It wasn't until Lin Shen came to the door and met her that she realized he just wanted to give her a surprise!
That's why I deliberately don't reply to messages or answer phone calls!

"I hate you!"

At times like these, Qin Yuennan's inner pride would overpower her aloofness, causing her to utter not a single truthful word.

For example, she said she hated him, but then she took the initiative to throw herself into Lin Shen's arms, hugging his neck tightly, as if she was afraid he would abandon her.

"Sorry, I was driving and didn't answer the phone."

Lin Shen held Qin Yuennan's soft, delicate body in his arms. The thin silk nightgown offered virtually no barrier, making it no different from embracing her naked. He could freely feel her graceful curves.

"Come inside."

Qin Yuennan tiptoed and kissed Lin Shen passionately. After pulling him into the house, her longing erupted like a volcano, and she could no longer hold back.

"I want to be *, husband * me."

Qin Yuennan's soft, seductive words exploded in Lin Shen's ears like thunder.

No, wait a minute!
what are you talking about?
