Financial Independence through Cracked Apps
Chapter 308 - 176: Reward
"N-no... I’m not. I’m out right now."
Xu Lu’s voice was clearly fragmented and rushed. Jiang Wan blinked her pretty eyes, instantly understanding what she was doing.
"Oh~ So you’re out right now."
A mischievous, devilish smirk played on Jiang Wan’s lips. She sat on the sofa, no longer in a hurry, and deliberately dragged out the end of each word to waste time, her tone filled with playful teasing.
"What are you doing out? You should have been off work a long time ago, right?"
"N-not... not doing anything."
Xu Lu’s tone was clearly anxious.
"Wanwan, if you don’t need anything, I’m going to hang up."
"Don’t be in such a rush. Of course I have a reason for calling you."
Jiang Wan asked with a grin.
"The clothes you bought for me arrived, right?"
"They’ve arrived! They’ve arrived!"
Xu Lu’s words were a clear double entendre. After a long sigh, she replied, exhausted.
"It’s on the desk in my room. You can go get it."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan said suddenly.
"Oh, right. Since you’re not coming back tonight, I’m going to let Lin Shen come up, okay? It’s the perfect chance to talk to him about your thing."
"I knew you knew all along!"
Xu Lu sounded flustered and exasperated, which made Jiang Wan break into a smile.
"The sounds on your end are so clear, how could I not know? Next time, remember to tell Chen not to work so hard, okay?"
"Aiya! It’s all your fault! You let Wanwan hear us!"
The embarrassed, angry rebuke on the other end of the line suddenly became muffled. After a moment of complaining, she brought the phone back to her mouth.
"I get it, Wanwan. You can let Lin Shen come up."
The two had actually agreed not to bring boyfriends home, but Xu Lu needed a favor from Lin Shen, so she had to turn a blind eye.
"Remember to put in a good word for me."
"Of course."
Jiang Wan agreed. After hanging up, she immediately walked into Xu Lu’s room and, sure enough, found a new, unopened package on the desk.
One of the bags contained the clothes she wanted.
Jiang Wan opened it and held it up to take a look. The real thing felt even more risqué than the pictures online, making her pretty face blush.
But then she recalled how touched she was by Lin Shen today. Not only had he picked her up from work with flowers, but he had even given her an expensive necklace.
This caused the shame in Jiang Wan’s heart to slowly morph into deep affection and a restless desire.
’This gift... Lin Shen will probably really like it, won’t he?’
Jiang Wan carefully hid the clothes in her room, then went downstairs to the door of the Jaguar XFL.
After Lin Shen rolled down the driver’s side window, Jiang Wan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a light laugh.
"Want to come up for a bit? You should find a place to park."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Shen raised an eyebrow. Seeing Jiang Wan nod, he parked the car. After getting out, he asked curiously.
"Xu Lu isn’t home?"
"She’s with her boyfriend."
Jiang Wan looped her arm through Lin Shen’s as they went upstairs. After some hesitation, she asked tentatively.
"By the way, Lin Shen, Xu Lu said she wants to help me run my Douyin account. What do you think?"
"Does she know how?"
Lin Shen asked, and Jiang Wan nodded.
"She knows a lot. She used to be an admin for a celebrity’s Super Topic on Weibo and managed his fan groups. She has a great sense of what’s trending online."
"Then just let her manage the account for you."
Lin Shen agreed so readily that Jiang Wan was taken aback.
"You agree?"
"Why wouldn’t I?"
Lin Shen retorted with a smile.
"After all, the account is yours, not mine. You can make the decision."
"But the videos went viral all thanks to you, Lin Shen. That’s why I thought I should discuss it with you. After all, it’s our baby."
Jiang Wan pressed her cheek against Lin Shen’s arm, her heart filled with emotion.
"Thank you."
"Senior, you’re being too formal."
Lin Shen smiled and squeezed Jiang Wan’s cheek.
"There’s no need for ’thank you’ between us. If you really want to thank me..."
"You want me to show you with my actions, right?"
The corners of Jiang Wan’s mouth tilted up. She had long since figured out what Lin Shen was thinking, so she was quick to cut in.
And of course, she kept her promise.
The moment she opened the door to Apartment 201, before they had even taken off their shoes, Jiang Wan eagerly wrapped her arms around Lin Shen’s neck, throwing herself into his embrace in the entryway.
When her tempting red lips offered themselves to him, Lin Shen didn’t refuse this time.
He wrapped his arms around Jiang Wan’s soft waist and kicked the door shut with his heel.
SLAM—!
In the dimly lit room, an intimate atmosphere began to spread.
All of Jiang Wan’s long-suppressed longing transformed into fiery passion.
She used her actions to express the deep and intense love in her heart.
Lin Shen could feel that the gentle "big sister" in his arms was very excited.
Her body leaned into his, pressing almost her entire weight into his embrace.
It was clear that Jiang Wan had a special fondness for kissing.
Just like how Qin Yuenan liked it when Lin Shen held her waist and touched her butt, everyone had their own unique preferences.
"Let me change my shoes first."
Lin Shen was finding Jiang Wan’s "passion" a bit overwhelming and quickly found an excuse to separate from her.
She squinted her pretty eyes, her thin lips even pursing slightly as if she were still savoring the feeling from a moment ago.
A moment later, Jiang Wan came back to her senses and found a pair of slippers for Lin Shen.
She was well-prepared this time.
Not only had she bought slippers for Lin Shen, but she had even bought him his own toiletries.
All in anticipation of an opportunity to bring him home, just like today.
"Have a seat. I’ll go make you a cup of tea."
Just as Jiang Wan was about to head to the kitchen, Lin Shen, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her gently into his lap, and teased.
"Senior, you didn’t really invite me up just for tea, did you?"
"Then what do you think I asked you up here for?"
Jiang Wan shifted from sitting sideways on Lin Shen’s lap to straddling him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and blinked her pretty eyes innocently.
"I don’t know, Junior Lin Shen."
"It’s okay, I’ll teach you."
Lin Shen gently brushed aside the strands of hair by Jiang Wan’s cheek. He started by kissing her forehead, then traveled down to her cheek and delicate nose, finally lingering on her red lips.
Meanwhile, his hands first helped Jiang Wan slip off her light knit cardigan. The straps resting on her fragrant shoulders were then easily pulled aside, falling to the crooks of her arms.
Just as Lin Shen was eagerly about to get started, Jiang Wan suddenly crossed her arms, tightly guarding her chest, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
"Junior Lin Shen, there’s something I haven’t been able to figure out, and I wanted to ask you."
"Go ahead, Senior."
"It’s just..."
Jiang Wan leaned in and whispered in Lin Shen’s ear.
"Your Cat Cafe is called Shennan Pet Society, right? Shen is from your name, so who is Nan from?"
!?
Jiang Wan’s words were like a bucket of ice-cold water, instantly extinguishing the fire that had been slowly building inside Lin Shen.
He had anticipated this. With Jiang Wan’s intelligence, she must have long suspected who this "Nan" was.
But what Lin Shen hadn’t expected was for her to bring it up at a time like this!
It was enough to reveal the little devil hidden beneath her gentle exterior.
Lin Shen scratched his head awkwardly. Even though the alluring "big sister" was sitting right on his lap, he couldn’t bring himself to taste the delicious meal before him.
After some thought, he decided not to hide or lie about it and just came clean.
"Her name is Qin Yuenan. She was a female boss of mine at my old job. The Cat Cafe was partially funded by her investment, so I included her name."
"So she was your female boss."
Jiang Wan had already guessed as much, so she wasn’t angry. Instead, she continued to press him with a smile.
"Is she pretty?"
"She is."
Lin Shen answered honestly. After all, he couldn’t lie about that.
But then he added.
"As pretty as you, Senior."
"You’re so diplomatic."
Jiang Wan pouted coquettishly before relentlessly continuing her questioning.
"Well, is her body better than mine?"
"About the same."
Lin Shen gave an ambiguous answer.
"She works out a lot, so the ratio of her waist to her hips and the curve of her legs are perfect. But in one particular area, she definitely can’t compare to you, Senior."
Seeing Lin Shen glance down at her chest, Jiang Wan shot him an embarrassed glare, but inside, she felt an immense sense of triumphant superiority.
"You’re quite the flatterer, Junior. Since your words are so sweet, don’t you want to know what reward your Senior has for you tonight?"
"I do!"
Seeing the eager anticipation in Lin Shen’s eyes as he nodded, Jiang Wan gave a bewitching smile, got up from his lap, and headed to her room.
"Then wait just a moment. Your Senior is going to change into something else and then offer herself to you as your reward~"
