Chapter 80: I'm willing to feed you

「Miss Shen, stop joking, how could I possibly be good enough… your standards for a partner are so high. 」Lin Yuan shook his head.

But Shen Shiyuan propped her chin, her beautiful eyes fixed unblinkingly on Lin Yuan.

「Yes, you don't meet many of my conditions. But only after getting to know you… did I realize that those so-called rules were just my excuses. 」Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes, 「Lin Yuan, none of the conditions and requirements in my partner criteria apply to you. Because you're an exception. You don't meet any of my partner standards, but I just think you're good. 」.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was a bit dazed.

Not…… what's going on?

He thought he was just coming to have a meal.

As a result, he didn't expect the conversation to get somewhat out of control.

「Um, cough cough cough. Miss Shen, you really love joking—I'm a poor loser, I have all kinds of bad habits. 」Lin Yuan said, embarrassed and self-mocking.

He didn't dare continue this topic, wanting to quickly change the subject.

But Shen Shiyuan said seriously, 「I'm not joking, Lin Yuan. I'm serious. You're an exception, a surprise, a flutter beyond all my standards. 」.

Now Lin Yuan was completely dazed.

「Cough cough, this salmon is pretty tender, Miss Shen, have some more. 」Lin Yuan tried to change the subject.

This topic can't go on any further; if we keep talking… Lin Yuan feared it would only get more out of control.

「Could you pick up a piece for me? 」Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes, pouting her little mouth.

The way she pouted her little mouth was really playful.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only use his chopsticks to pick up a piece of salmon and hand it to her.

「Feed it to my mouth. 」Shen Shiyuan cutely opened her red lips and leaned toward Lin Yuan's chopsticks.

Lin Yuan "……"

He could only deliver the salmon to Shen Shiyuan's mouth.

Then Shen Shiyuan took the salmon on the chopsticks into her mouth in one bite.

Lin Yuan's chopsticks were also touched by her lips.

She didn't despise those chopsticks at all.

Lin Yuan hastily withdrew his chopsticks; at this moment, they still carried a trace of Shen Shiyuan's saliva.

Lin Yuan wanted to wipe the chopsticks with a tissue.

「What are you doing? Do you despise me? 」Shen Shiyuan glared slightly with her beautiful eyes.

Her angry look was also cute and alluring, making people unable to resist taking a bite.

This woman, truly a little sprite.

"Ah, no, it's just that men and women shouldn't be intimate; I'm afraid we'd indirectly kiss…" Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

「What's wrong with an indirect kiss? I don't despise you, what are you despising? Don't wipe it, keep eating. 」Shen Shiyuan said angrily.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only continue eating with his chopsticks.

This really was an indirect kiss.

However, he used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, only to find the chopsticks sweet?

Hmm?

Lin Yuan froze, then realized it must be the taste of Shen Shiyuan's lipstick.

A bit of her lipstick had gotten on the chopsticks; the lipstick is sweet, with a hint of strawberry fragrance.

「Lin Yuan, do you know? Before meeting you, I thought all those rules were necessary. But after getting to know you, I realized that no amount of requirements could outweigh my liking for you! 」Shen Shiyuan returned to the topic, speaking seriously.

Lin Yuan was completely dazed……

We were supposed to just have a meal, how did it turn out like this?

This topic came at him so fast he could barely keep up.

「I'm really poor; any woman who dates me ends up losing out. I can't even afford luxury goods. 」Lin Yuan explained.

But Shen Shiyuan said indifferently, 「It's fine, I have money. My dad still has a conglomerate waiting for me to inherit. Lin Yuan, let's inherit my dad's company together in the future. 」.

「Cough cough cough! 」Lin Yuan was choked again, only able to cough to hide his embarrassment.

「Why do you keep coughing?! I'm seriously asking you! 」Shen Shiyuan said, pouting her red lips.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to answer, 「Um, Miss Shen, stop joking, we're not suited. I'm not worthy of you. 」.

「How are we not suited?? Lin Yuan, I already like you; after you saved my life last time, I've decided it's you. Lin Yuan, will you be my boyfriend? 」Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes, asking seriously.

Lin Yuan: "……"

「Miss Su, we really aren't suited; I'm so lacking—no house, no car, no savings. Plus my education is low, just a junior college degree. What do you see in me? 」Lin Yuan said helplessly, shaking his head.

「Because you saved my life, I've decided it's you. 」Shen Shiyuan said seriously with her beautiful eyes.

「Sorry, Miss Shen, I really am not worthy of you. 」Lin Yuan also replied seriously.

He already had someone he liked, the beautiful landlord Qin Bore.

Although Lin Yuan knew, there was absolutely no possibility between him and Qin Bore.

「I say you deserve it. 」Shen Shiyuan said seriously with her beautiful eyes, then suddenly pulled out an expensive watch from her bag and placed it directly in front of Lin Yuan.

「Lin Yuan, this is to thank you for saving me last time, a little token of my heart. This also counts as our first gift together. 」Shen Shiyuan said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yuan glanced at the watch…… Audemars Piguet, Royal Oak.

He sucked in a breath of cold air.

This watch is worth over 700,000!

Shen Shiyuan really is rich!

To pursue a man, she actually took the initiative to give such an expensive watch?

「Miss Shen, better forget it—I dare not accept this watch, it's too valuable. You can just treat me to a meal, and I'll already be satisfied. Please take it back quickly. 」Lin Yuan hurriedly pushed the watch back.

His grandfather had taught him since childhood not to take others' money for nothing. This world is fair; one must not take others' belongings without giving something in return.

One thing for another—what reward you want to gain, you must put in what effort.

"No, this watch I'll give you. Lin Yuan, from now on we'll be together, everything I have is yours. I like you, I'm willing to give you everything." Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes, saying earnestly.

Lin Yuan hearing this became even more speechless, he hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, I don't want to be a pretty boy."

Hearing this, Shen Shiyuan froze for a moment, "I didn't ask you to be a pretty boy, Lin Yuan, you can be my boyfriend; if you want to work hard, you can come work at my dad's company and let my dad give you a managerial position. You can work hard~"

Shen Shiyuan was truly earnest.

But Lin Yuan was feeling a headache.

How could this pretty girl be so stubborn?

Lin Yuan wasn't indifferent to Shen Shiyuan; on the contrary, Shen Shiyuan is very beautiful, causing every man's heart to flutter.

But Lin Yuan didn't want to hurt her, so he could only refuse.

He knew, being with Shen Shiyuan was impossible.

"Miss Shen, we really can't be together. You're a swan from heaven, I'm just a lowly toad, how could I deserve you?" Lin Yuan said earnestly.

"Who said a toad can't eat swan meat? Lin Yuan, I'm willing to let you eat~" Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

Lin Yuan: "……"

"Bang!"

Just then, the door of the private room in the Japanese restaurant was suddenly pushed open.

A graceful figure stormed into the Japanese restaurant.

Lin Yuan and Shen Shiyuan turned their heads to look, both stunned.

"Zhi Yuan? How did you come here?" Shen Shiyuan said in surprise.

Lin Yuan was also a bit dazed.

No, how could Su Zhiyuan appear?

"Shiyuan, if I don't come now, you'll be harmed by Lin Yuan this scumbag!" Su Zhiyuan said angrily.

Shen Shiyuan blinked her beautiful eyes and retorted, "How have I been harmed by him? Lin Yuan isn't a scumbag. Are you stalking us?"

Su Zhiyuan replied, "Yes, this afternoon I felt something was off; I invited you to eat but you didn't come. I guessed Lin Yuan surely tricked you into coming out for a date, and indeed I caught him."

Su Zhiyuan had already sensed something was off earlier today, so after work she secretly followed Lin Yuan.

I didn't expect to run into her squarely.

"No, Miss Su, I didn't deceive her; it was Miss Shen who invited me to eat." Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

"Shut up!" Su Zhiyuan glared at him angrily.

Shen Shiyuan was about to speak to explain.

Su Zhiyuan put her arm around her friend and advised, "Shiyuan, what are you doing, you're love‑brain! How could you date someone like Lin Yuan? He's just a poor loser, a stinking toad! He's utterly unworthy of you."

Lin Yuan was left speechless by her belittling……

This woman Su Zhiyuan really gives him no face at all.

But Shen Shiyuan said, "It's fine, I just like Lin Yuan. I don't care if he's smelly or not."

Su Zhiyuan: "……"

"You woman, love‑brain has possessed you! Lin Yuan has many ambiguous relationships at the company! You don't know that? He's a total scumbag!" Su Zhiyuan continued to disparage.

"No, Miss Su…… you can't slander me like that……" Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

This Su Zhiyuan is just spouting nonsense!

"Shut up!" Su Zhiyuan shouted loudly, once again making Lin Yuan shut up……

Thus, Shen Shiyuan's hard‑won confession was ruthlessly destroyed by Su Zhiyuan.

Finally, the Japanese meal ended hastily.

After finishing the meal, Su Zhiyuan pulled her good friend Shen Shiyuan and hastily left the private room, leaving only Lin Yuan standing there dazed.

However, as Su Zhiyuan pulled her friend away, a barely perceptible arc rose on her stunning red lips.

Everything was under her control.

She came tonight especially to find Shen Shiyuan, to sabotage her friend's confession…… with only one purpose.

This purpose, even her good friend Shen Shiyuan doesn't know.

That is…… to steal a man.

Sabotaging her friend's confession is just the first step.

Next, she will step by step take down Lin Yuan.

Su Zhiyuan realized she had fallen in love with Lin Yuan, so tonight she took this action, secretly coming to steal Lin Yuan.

But all this, Lin Yuan and Shen Shiyuan still don't know……

……

The next day, Sun Licheng sat in the office, extremely angry.

He had already confirmed that yesterday Zhao Tian was slept with by Lin Yuan.

But he dared not expose it.

Because it was his aphrodisiac. If Sun Licheng exposed it, he himself would also be implicated……

At the same time, Zhao Tian wanted to return the assets to Sun Licheng; she didn't want to make another mistake.

But Lin Yuan said, "No need to return it to him; he drugged you, so these assets count as his compensation for the loss—this is what you deserve."

If Sun Licheng heard this, he'd probably be half‑dead from anger.

The house he bought Zhao Tian with money, the luxury goods—these were also his drugs.

As a result, all the benefits were taken by Lin Yuan.

"But I'm worried he'll continue to target me at the company." Zhao Tian said softly.

"It's fine, I'll help you resolve it." Lin Yuan said.

That morning, Lin Yuan went to Director Su's office.

Lin Yuan pleaded with Director Su to spare Zhao Tian, saying Zhao Tian had realized her mistake and would not betray again, and besides, she was useless and could not be promoted.

Su Monong asked coldly, "Why are you protecting her? Do you like her? Or are you sleeping with her?"

Lin Yuan gave a dry cough; the reason he helped Zhao Tian was because Zhao Tian gave him her first time. Therefore, as a man, he must help.

But he could not say that out loud.

Lin Yuan explained, "The company is currently lacking talent; Zhao Tian is a capable talent, and after training her for so many years, it would be a pity to just fire her. Besides, Director Su, you are short of manpower, so there's no need to waste talent. Just bring her back."

Su Monong said coldly, "Did Zhao Tian ask you to speak for her? You find her pretty and your heart softened?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

But Su Monong interrupted, "If I let her off, she owes you a favor. And you, you also owe me a favor. How will you repay me this favor?"

Lin Yuan was taken aback upon hearing that, and said, "Director Su, however you want me to repay, I'm fine with it."

Su Monong's stunning red lips curled into an arc, "Oh really? Then lock the office door from the inside and come over."

Lin Yuan froze upon hearing that.

No, this is the company…… why lock the office door?

"Director Su, what are you trying to do?" Lin Yuan asked cautiously.

Su Monong's black silk legs lightly crossed, her jeweled foot lightly teasing the high heel, "What do you say?"

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Yuan, her eyes silky, her red lips lightly biting.

At this moment, Su Monong was full of charm……
