For a moment, Lin Shen thought he was hearing things. He looked at Qin Yuenan beside him, a look of astonishment on his face.

It was only when he saw the playful smile on her face that he realized she had indeed said something rather unfortunate.

’It’s here!’

’A loaded question even more terrifying than "If your mom and I both fell in the water, who would you save first?"’

’Is this something Nan would actually say?’

Lin Shen found it a little hard to believe.

The Qin Yuenan in his memory was rather cool and aloof, usually speaking with the proud air of an ice queen.

Of course, she certainly had the right to be.

But after they started dating, Lin Shen discovered that Qin Yuenan’s aloofness was just a facade.

In reality, she was exceptionally lively and mischievous on the inside.

She wasn’t afraid to say anything.

So, Lin Shen really couldn’t come up with an answer right away.

After all, this was a question he’d never even considered.

Lin Shen chose his words carefully, cleared his throat, and said sincerely.

"You each have your own unique qualities."

"Then what are my unique qualities? What are hers? And which qualities do you like more?"

It was obvious Qin Yuenan wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted today. She was determined to have a clear comparison with Jiang Wan.

This relentless, pressurizing aura made it difficult for Lin Shen to respond.

Especially with Qin Yuenan’s sharp, cold eyes on him, he felt a familiar nervousness, like he was back in the day, giving a report at work.

So, Lin Shen quickly pulled her into his arms and tried to change the subject.

"This isn’t something we should talk about out here. Let’s just eat first."

"No."

Qin Yuenan moved Lin Shen’s left hand away from her thigh, her tone exceptionally stubborn.

"You have to tell me today!"

"Sigh—!"

’Chaotic Scenes really are hard to deal with!’

Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’The two of them haven’t even met yet, and it’s already this hard to handle... What’ll happen when they finally do meet?’

"Your legs are longer."

In the end, Lin Shen couldn’t hold out against Qin Yuenan’s interrogation. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, leaned down, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Hmph."

Seeing Lin Shen so sincerely express his feelings, Qin Yuenan’s pretty face flushed slightly with embarrassment, but she was still quite happy.

At least he wasn’t lying.

His earnest attitude pleased Qin Yuenan, so she let him continue to hold her waist and stroke her leg.

Just as she was about to press him further, a savior arrived!

"Good evening, sir and madam. This is our Lameloise’s globally iconic dish, the Foie Gras Lollipop. Please enjoy."

As the waiter placed one exquisite and luxurious dish after another on the table, Lin Shen quickly changed the subject.

"Nan, what do you think of the food?"

"The presentation is quite nice."

Qin Yuenan had long heard about Lameloise’s cuisine. Now that she saw it for herself, the "color" aspect alone was exceptional.

After a taste, the "aroma" and "flavor" were also remarkably unique. The dishes brought the ingredients’ textures to their absolute peak, each with its own distinct character.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the top tier of "pretty food."

So, Qin Yuenan, who rarely took pictures, now took out her phone, found the right angle, and started snapping away at the table.

She also took a selfie with Lin Shen.

After all, he usually wore casual clothes. Now that he had finally dressed up in a sharp suit, she naturally had to capture him at his most handsome.

Qin Yuenan nestled in Lin Shen’s arms as he held her. The atmosphere was enchanting and intimate, creating a very picturesque scene.

The sexual tension between the man and woman was on full display.

After taking the selfie, she felt that this kind of picture was something she could only look at in private, almost like a risqué photo she’d found online.

If she actually posted it to her Moments, she’d probably be flooded with private messages the very next second.

’But I still have to make it official!’

Especially after learning that Lin Shen still had some entanglement with his senior from college, a sense of crisis instantly washed over Qin Yuenan.

She had to do something to solidify her position as "the main one."

So after some thought, Qin Yuenan interlocked the fingers of her right hand with Lin Shen’s left, revealing the luxury watches on their wrists that they had gifted each other.

Both of them had very attractive hands with fair skin; they didn’t even need editing before being posted to her Moments.

"What made you suddenly decide to post something like this to your Moments?"

Lin Shen leaned in to look and was rather surprised.

Previously, when he looked at Qin Yuenan’s Moments, they were always very simple—either news about the pet industry or various outdoor landscape photos. It was all very characteristic of her.

But now there was an "officially announcing my boyfriend" post, and Lin Shen could already imagine how wild Qin Yuenan’s WeChat was about to get.

"Why can’t I post it?"

Qin Yuenan shot Lin Shen a sideways glance, a playful smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

"I dared to post it. Do you?"

"I’d dare to post it, but only for you to see."

Lin Shen raised both hands in surrender, honestly admitting defeat.

If he posted something like that to his Moments, he’d probably have all sorts of women showing up at his door the next second.

But Qin Yuenan didn’t press the issue and tactfully avoided the rather awkward topic.

"How’s the new company doing lately?"

"It’s getting on the right track, I guess..."

While savoring the exquisite dishes, Lin Shen told Qin Yuenan about the situation at Shennan Pet Society, taking the opportunity to ask the former marketing director of Pet Guardian Home for her opinion and ways to improve his plans.

Of course, she was more than happy to share her work experience.

Once they started talking about this, her aura as a sharp, capable female business elite fully emerged. Her mature way of speaking made Lin Shen sigh in admiration internally.

’A career-oriented girlfriend really is great!’

’She might not be as delicate as other women when it comes to romance, but she provides a huge amount of help and advice in life and at work.’
