Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

International Hotel, master bedroom, king-size bed.

Lin Shen picked up the leather belt around Qin Yuennan's neck, as if he were walking a pet.

Qin Yuennan felt the same way, but she was more concerned about what Lin Shen had just mentioned.

"I can't accept it?"

Qin Yuennan turned around and gave Lin Shen a cold look.

"I didn't expect you to have such a wild relationship with your ex-girlfriend. Tell me about it, I don't believe I can't stand it."

"It's no use saying anything."

Lin Shen chuckled softly.

"The problem is there are no props here."

"Humph."

Qin Yuenan knew that Lin Shen was deliberately making up excuses to cover up the matter, but she had no way to refute it.

"Then you'll have to give me a proper demonstration when you get back."

"you sure?"

Lin Shen's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"Then you're going to suffer a lot, Sister Nan."

"..."

Qin Yuennan didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strong aura caused by jealousy.

Why can Lin Shen hang out with his ex-girlfriend but I can't?

You look down on people, don't you!

I want to see just how fancy your game was back then!

Of course, Qin Yuennan had to put these thoughts aside for the time being, as she and Lin Shen had more important things to do now.

Are you planning to keep holding my hand like this forever?

Qin Yuennan moved back a little, then pressed her most prized pert peach-shaped buttocks against Lin Shen's waist and abdomen, even gently twisting her waist to seduce him.

Lin Shen had never seen such a flamboyant and aloof older woman before.

This made him smile with amusement.

"Nan-jie, you seem really proactive today. Is it because you feel a sense of crisis?"

"shameless."

Qin Yuennan's pretty face flushed red instantly after her true thoughts were exposed. She then turned around and glared at Lin Shen with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

"You're the one juggling multiple relationships, yet you claim I feel threatened! If you stopped philandering, would I need to do this?"

"This is fine."

Lin Shen smiled and leaned over Qin Yuennan's smooth, beautiful back, whispering in her ear.

"I really like you, Sister Nan."

"You... Ouch!"

Before Qin Yuennan could finish speaking, she gasped and then fell silent.

After all, the two of them had already gotten down to business.

……

October 2, 2025, Thursday.

11℃～20℃, sunny, northeast wind level 3, humidity 24%.

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于10月2日00:01收入RMB240，000元，当前余额：95，000，000」

At 5 a.m., Lin Shen woke up early and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

You should know that washing your hair and shaving are considered the highest forms of etiquette between men.

Today, it's not just about meeting; I'll also be a groomsman.

While the best man shouldn't steal the spotlight from the groom, he also shouldn't be too sloppy.

So Lin Shen took a shower and then styled his hair.

He used to use micro-crush caps, but this time he switched to a cushioned 3/7 split cap.

Paired with a suit worth over 100,000 yuan, he practically dressed himself up to look like an adult.

Just as Lin Shen was carefully dressing up in front of the mirror, Qin Yuennan, wearing a silk nightgown, walked in, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

She yawned first, then her hazy, beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her previously tired expression from waking up early became radiant.

After all, Lin Shen's suit and skin were her favorite.

Every time I watch it, I can't help but feel like a young girl, my heart overflowing with spring fever.

This time too.

"How about it?"

Of course, Lin Shen was well aware of the attraction his outfit held for Qin Yuenan, so he deliberately showed it off in front of her.

This completely captivated the aloof and sophisticated woman, causing her pretty face to instantly flush with a shy blush before she hurriedly averted her gaze and muttered something under her breath.

"That's good. Let me tidy it up for you a bit more."

After saying that, Qin Yuennan walked directly to Lin Shen and began to help him tidy his clothes.

Of course, while it's called tidying up, it's actually about taking advantage of the situation.

Qin Yuennan's hand never left Lin Shen's chest, which made him chuckle.

"Sister Nan, is this how you help me organize my clothes?"

"It's already perfect."

Qin Yuennan patted Lin Shen's chest, and just as she was about to leave, Lin Shen grabbed her slender waist and hugged her, kissing her passionately.

He released her after a long while and chuckled softly.

"Nan-jie, your neck is a little red. Why don't you wear a turtleneck sweater to cover it up?"

"?"

Qin Yuennan was still in a daze from the passionate kiss when Lin Shen reminded her, so she went to look at herself in the mirror.

Just as Lin Shen said, there was a very obvious red mark around her neck.

This is exactly what happened last night.

Qin Yuennan covered her snow-white neck, turned around and glared at Lin Shen with embarrassment and anger.

"How dare you say that! Why are you holding on so tightly?"

"Don't you like it?"

"Who said I like it!"

Qin Yuennan retorted, but Lin Shen just leaned down with a mischievous grin, gently pinched her neck, and teased her.

"Didn't you like it? Yesterday I felt you had a better chance of experiencing wonderful things than usual. Didn't you enjoy that suffocating feeling of near death?"

"..."

Qin Yuenan fell silent, after all, she didn't want to admit that what Lin Shen said was true.

But that is indeed the case.

She really enjoyed how she felt yesterday.

Especially Lin Shen's rude treatment directly and deeply touched her inner desires.

However, Qin Yuennan did not want to come a second time.

Because that feeling is too mentally taxing and very addictive.

Qin Yuennan feared she wouldn't be able to leave, after all, as the chairman of Shennan, she still needed to spend time and energy on her work.

"Stop fooling around."

Qin Yuennan quickly pried Lin Shen's hand off her neck and then prepared to change her clothes.

"I'm going to change my clothes. You can go out for a bit."

"Do we need to avoid suspicion between us?"

Lin Shen smiled and then reminded him.

"By the way, Sister Nan, you'd better not dress too stunningly."

?

Qin Yuenan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Lin Shen's meaning. After all, this was to attend a wedding, not to be the bride, so naturally she couldn't steal the bride's thunder.

Qin Yuennan understood exactly what Lin Shen meant, but she still smiled and teased him.

"Are you afraid I'll be snatched away by someone else?"

"Ok?"

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, then walked up to Qin Yuennan, pinched her chin and gently lifted it, then said with a confident expression.

"You mean I'm worried that you, Sister Nan, might like guys from small towns?"

"Of course I don't discriminate against my hometown, but I'm afraid it would be hard for anyone to surpass my excellence here."

"I believe that with your discerning eye, Sister Nan, even if someone tries to chat you up, you probably wouldn't even bother to look at them."

"really."

Lin Shen was absolutely right; Qin Yuennan did indeed possess a certain pride.

Some girls like to use the number of times they are approached by others to show that they are popular.

But Qin Yuennan had no interest in that.

She doesn't need a lot of people chasing after her to maintain her popularity; in fact, she's already very popular.

Therefore, Qin Yuennan planned to dress casually today to avoid overshadowing the bride.

Therefore, she still wore a short trench coat with light blue jeans, which neither overshadowed her outfit nor detracted from her figure.

Qin Yuennan didn't even style her hair; she just applied light makeup before heading out with Lin Shen, all so as not to steal the spotlight from the wedding guests at such a time.

After all, it's Qiuya's wedding, and it's really not appropriate for you to be jumping around like that.

Is this okay?

To find out if her attire was appropriate, Qin Yuennan asked Lin Shen curiously.

He sized up the long-legged, mature woman in front of him and suddenly realized something.

Qin Yuennan's outfit does not diminish her charm.

Even the most ordinary outfits have a unique charm on her.

After all, with those supermodel-like long legs and perfect waist-to-hip ratio, she's a walking clothes hanger wherever she goes.

This made Lin Shen somewhat worried.

"Sister Nan, if you go out dressed like this, I feel like even more people will ask for your contact information."

"This is already considered one of the more ordinary clothes in my wardrobe."

Qin Yuennan gave Lin Shen a cold, sidelong glance.

"Are you suggesting I wear black stockings out in public?"

Goodbye!

Even Lin Shen, who had seen so many beautiful women, couldn't resist admiring Qin Yuennan's sexy long legs after she put on black stockings.

Not to mention in a small county town like this.

If someone went out wearing black stockings, that would be a disaster.
"Cough cough!"

Lin Shen coughed twice and explained.

"Sister Nan, actually you're already dressed very modestly. You're not showing your legs or waist, but your overall figure looks great."

"Then I'll wear sunglasses too."

To avoid trouble, Qin Yuennan put on a pair of sunglasses, looking like a big star going out.

But in terms of appearance, she does surpass many of today's top-tier actors.

So, Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan quickly packed up and went downstairs to head to Chen Chang's new home.

After all, there are still many things to do once we arrive at our destination.

At 5 a.m., the small county town is busier than the big city.

The breakfast shops have already opened, and the owners are preparing early.

Seeing this, Lin Shen specially took Qin Yuennan to try a local breakfast restaurant.

When he parked his extremely stylish black and white Maybach at the entrance of the alley, the people making breakfast around him were all stunned.

Anyone who didn't know better would think some big boss had come to inspect the people's conditions.

Especially when Lin Shen appeared on the breakfast street dressed in a suit, it further confirmed everyone's suspicions and sparked their curiosity.

Who exactly is this young man?
Of course, all these doubts turned into amazement at her after Qin Yuennan got out of the passenger seat.

Although she was wearing sunglasses and her face was obscured, and although her clothes were simple, her figure was something that couldn't be hidden by just clothes!
The curves of her waist and hips, outlined by her jeans, attracted a lot of attention, even if only glimpsed under her trench coat.

In addition, Qin Yuennan possesses an undeniable aura.

Noble and aloof.

It's as if the mature and powerful female CEO from the novel has truly come to life in the real world.

But would a woman like that appear in a small county town?

The onlookers and the breakfast shop owner were somewhat puzzled, but the facts were undeniable.

Under the watchful eyes of many people, Lin Shen walked into a noodle stall he frequented.

These stalls are set up on the roadside, with a few tables and stools, while the pots and pans for cooking are in specially made breakfast carts.

Although everything was simple, it was very cozy.

In the early morning before dawn, the whole world seems to revolve within a hazy, blue veil.

Even a faint moon hung in the sky not far away, seemingly about to set at any moment.

In this dreamlike haze, the street food stalls were dimly lit, and amidst the white mist, laughter and the rustling sounds of people eating could be heard.

Tranquil and peaceful.

Lin Shen at least really liked this quiet environment, which was completely out of place in a fast-paced city like Shanghai.

People who usually eat breakfast in the morning are busy working people. They eat very quickly and don't have time to waste.

But the breakfast stalls in the small county town are very leisurely, with many elderly people chatting with each other.

Lin Shen then found a corner for Qin Yuhuan to sit down first, and then spoke to the shop owner.

"Boss, two bowls of noodles, one large and one small."

"okay!"

The shop owner dared not delay someone like Lin Shen who seemed to have a high status.

After he sat down, a group of retired elderly people at the next table seemed to be very interested in him and came over to ask him questions.

"Whose child are you? You look so handsome!"

"Is this your girlfriend? Wow, she's really beautiful."

"Is that car yours? Wow, a Mercedes, is it expensive? Haha, four million? My goodness, that's equivalent to several of my houses."

……

Well, if other people try to get close to Lin Shen, he might feel a little bit annoyed.

But Lin Shen felt very comfortable with this group of old men.

The reason is simple: they were wearing orange sanitation worker uniforms, so they were most likely street sweepers from the neighborhood.

They usually have to get up at two or three o'clock and start working around four o'clock.

It's probably around this time, around the time they've just finished their break.

So they huddled together in a corner, afraid that the dust on their clothes would fall into the bowls of the people around them.

Even when Lin Shen and Qin Yuennan arrived because there were no seats available, they made a point of moving to a more distant spot and even wiped the stool clean before handing it to Qin Yuennan.

Lin Shen noticed these heartwarming little details, so he always spoke to them with the same respect he would show to his elders.

Even though his current status is different from that of this group of people, this group represents the majority of the population.

So, during a break, Lin Shen took the initiative to leave his seat and went to the boss to pay for the meals of all the sanitation workers.

It was less than fifty in total, which was just a drop in the ocean for Lin Shen.

But he understood that this amount of money was already a lot for these sanitation workers who only earned one or two thousand yuan a month.

"Don't tell them I paid for it."

Before leaving, Lin Shen gave the shop owner some instructions and gave him a knowing look.

After a moment of surprise, he was filled with gratitude and admiration for the young man in the suit.

Dressed like that, he can still blend in with the working class. If all capitalists in the world were like him, how wonderful that would be! (End of Chapter)
