Chapter 325 - 181: Lending a Hand

After wandering around for a while, Lin Shen and Jiang Yan came to the simulated racing game pods.

He had acquired a skill in race car driving but hadn’t yet had a chance to try it out.

Now, he could finally let loose!

So, Lin Shen sat down in a game pod and raced against Jiang Yan.

Since it was his first time playing this kind of driving simulator, he wasn’t very familiar with the controls and lost the first race to Jiang Yan.

However, once Lin Shen got the hang of it, he didn’t lose again.

This made Jiang Yan admire him immensely, and he even offered the highest form of praise between men—a thumbs-up.

"Lin Shen, you’re incredible! Just as I’d expect from a pro with a racing license. I’m no match for you at all."

"You’re really good too, actually."

Lin Shen casually slung an arm around Jiang Yan’s shoulder.

"Want to add me on WeChat? We can get in touch and practice sometime when we’re free."

"Sure!"

Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation, and the sense of distance between him and Lin Shen slowly began to fade.

This gave him the perfect opportunity to get closer to Jiang Yan.

So, Lin Shen subtly began to ask about Jiang Yan’s family background. He learned that his mother was a senior lawyer at Jingtian & Gongcheng, one of the five elite "Red Circle" law firms.

His father was even more impressive—he was the director of the Bureau of Resource Management!

’If I want to build a factory in the future, couldn’t he help me pull some strings?’

A thought flashed through Lin Shen’s mind, but of course, his desire to befriend Jiang Yan wasn’t purely for personal gain.

He actually quite liked the well-mannered, gentle young man.

His manner of speaking was very polite and he had a high EQ, which made him very pleasant to listen to.

With his years of worldly experience, Lin Shen felt that Jiang Yan was definitely someone worth befriending on a deeper level.

Of course, Lin Shen’s own conversational skills were nothing to scoff at either.

And so, as they continued to chat, they both felt it was a shame they hadn’t met sooner.

This continued until Zheng Yanfei came downstairs looking for him.

"Brother, so this is where you were!"

Zheng Yanfei threw herself into Lin Shen’s arms, pouting and squirming coquettishly.

"I looked all over the manor for you forever and couldn’t find you! And you didn’t even tell me you were coming here."

"We’ve only been apart for less than an hour, and you miss me this much already?"

Lin Shen smiled and wrapped his arm around Zheng Yanfei’s slender waist, and Jiang Yan tactfully took his leave.

"I’ll go keep Sweet company, then. You two chat."

"Alright."

Once Jiang Yan’s figure disappeared into the stairwell, Lin Shen moved his hands from Zheng Yanfei’s waist down to her firm little bottom, freely caressing her through the thin fabric of her pleated skirt.

This made her pretty face flush, and she buried her head deep in Lin Shen’s chest, letting out a few soft whimpers.

"Brother~ You’re so awful!"

"Just wait, there are even more awful things to come."

Lin Shen lowered his head and chuckled softly in the little girl’s ear.

"I noticed there’s a private theater here. Want to watch a movie before we go upstairs?"

"Okay!"

Zheng Yanfei agreed with a grin, but then added with a bit of worry.

"But I’m worried the others will get suspicious if they can’t find us..."

"In that case, I’ll go arrange some activities for them."

And so, Lin Shen, with his arm around Zheng Yanfei, returned to the main hall on the first floor. After gathering everyone, he arranged an instructor-led flower arranging class for the girls.

As for the guys, things were simpler.

Cao Cheng was tired and wanted to find a room on the second floor to take a nap, while Jiang Yan planned to go to the piano room for his daily practice.

As for Jiang Chuan, he was happy to accompany his girlfriend, Xu Manman.

And with that, once everyone else was occupied, Lin Shen pulled Zheng Yanfei along and snuck down to the private theater on the basement level.

The lighting inside was dim. There were three rows of seats, all of them loveseats.

Lin Shen casually picked the latest Conan movie. After starting it, he beckoned to Zheng Yanfei, his voice low and magnetic.

"Come here."

"Okay~"

Zheng Yanfei sat down beside Lin Shen, and he pulled her into an embrace.

As the movie unfolded on the screen, the flickering light illuminated their faces.

One with a mischievous smile.

The other blushing with shy modesty.

Because Lin Shen’s attention didn’t seem to be entirely on the movie.

He placed his left hand on Zheng Yanfei’s fair, beautiful legs, caressing them freely until the hem of her skirt was nearly hiked up to her waist.

Meanwhile, his right hand, which was wrapped around her waist, slowly slid upward along her smooth curves...

Then, Lin Shen chuckled softly in Zheng Yanfei’s ear.

"Didn’t you want my help improving the circulation up here? Well then, allow me."
