Lin Qingtong's pupils trembled slightly. She had only meant to scare Shen Tinghe, so she quickly reached out and pressed her hand against Shen Tinghe's chest.
"Wait, I was just joking, don't be silly."
Shen Tinghe's lips curled into a wicked smile. "But I'm not being silly, what should I do?"
His warm breath sprayed onto Lin Qingtong's skin, instantly sending waves of tingling sensation through her, making her hands and feet feel weak.
Seeing this, Shen Tinghe chuckled lightly: "Tongtong, don't try to fight me, it's impossible..."
"Whether it's physical health or intelligence—"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong's competitive spirit flared up immediately, and she shoved Shen Tinghe away.
"Isn't Master Shen being far too confident?"
Their eyes met in mid-air, and in the instant the sparks flew, a hint of ambiguity and tender affection silently spilled out.
Lin Qingtong took a few steps back. Although she had a calm smile on her lips, she knew very well that she was afraid at that moment.
I thought Shen Tinghe would continue his offensive, but to my surprise, he sat down in the same spot where Lin Qingtong had been sitting.
His long, slender fingers slowly gripped the glass, gently swirling it as a smile played on his lips.
"I've already investigated and found out that Lin Jiaorui isn't with Shen Yibo, but rather—"
Lin Qingtong subconsciously asked, "Second Master Shen?"
Although Lin Qingtong had prepared herself, she still couldn't help but frown the moment she said it.
She never imagined that Lin Jiaorui would go to such lengths for power.
"Wait, that child—"
Before Lin Qingtong could finish speaking, she saw Shen Tinghe nod and reply, "It is indeed Second Master Shen's."
For a moment, Lin Qingtong couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. This was too chaotic; it was a complete shock to her worldview.
Lin Jiaorui got together with Second Master Shen and got pregnant. Logically, Shen Yibo should have called her "stepmother," but what happened?
Shen Yibo's relationship with his stepmother Lin Jiaorui is officially announced, which is quite a mess.
"Master Shen did this simply to give Lin Jiaorui's unborn child a legitimate identity."
Lin Qingtong lowered her eyes and asked, "To be able to endure being cuckolded for the sake of one's status, you're really no ordinary person."
Shen Tinghe seemed to be used to it, and with a faint smile, he placed his warm hand on Lin Qingtong's waist and slowly caressed it.
"This isn't the first time this has happened. The Shen family is more chaotic than you can imagine."
Lin Qingtong couldn't help but look at Shen Tinghe, whose usually cold and handsome face now showed a trace of melancholy.
She thought, "So Shen Tinghe has this side to him too."
However, just as a hint of tenderness and sympathy appeared in Lin Qingtong's eyes, Shen Tinghe took the opportunity to pull Lin Qingtong down onto his lap.
Shen Tinghe slowly stroked Lin Qingtong's waist with his fingertips, his tone still serious.
“I am the ninth son of the Shen family. Logically speaking, Second Master Shen should be my older brother, but in reality, he is my uncle.”
"As for Jiang Hao's mother, although she is my sister, we are not actually related by blood. She is just a child born to my grandfather's illegitimate daughter."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Qingtong was surprised and blinked.
This is all quite a mess.
Immediately afterwards, she heard Shen Tinghe say something else.
"Although I am the ninth, my grandfather valued me highly and raised me as the family heir from a young age, but only on the surface."
Lin Qingtong was speechless. She stared intently at Shen Tinghe, wanting to hear him continue, but unexpectedly, Shen Tinghe suddenly stopped talking and leaned closer.
His warm breath fell on Lin Qingtong's neck, his eyes lingering with tenderness, his love seemingly about to devour her entirely.
"I'll tell you when I have time."
In that instant, Lin Qingtong raised her eyebrows slightly, then couldn't help but frown.
It feels like eating something incredibly delicious, only to have it snatched away and your mouth shut the next second.
But Lin Qingtong didn't press the matter further, because she knew the rules between adults.
Whether I listen to it or not is another matter.
Lin Qingtong smiled broadly, her rebellious nature determined to speak her mind.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tinghe's eyes flashed with danger as he reached out and supported the back of Lin Qingtong's head.
"Are you sure that continuing to listen will come at a price?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tinghe narrowed his eyes and prepared to approach again.
Lin Qingtong directly blocked Shen Tinghe, not allowing him to get any closer, with a charming smile on her lips.
"I told you, I'm not interested."
But how could Shen Tinghe give up so easily? Just as he was about to approach again, a cell phone rang.
Lin Qingtong took out her phone, waved it around, and spoke.
"I'm going to take this call."
She tried to break free from Shen Tinghe's grasp, but he wouldn't allow it at all, and said in a hoarse voice.
"that's all."
With no other option, Lin Qingtong could only answer the phone, her voice sounding slightly unnatural.
"What's wrong, Susu?"
As soon as the call connected, Luo Susu's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Sister Qingtong, something bad has happened! Someone is causing trouble."
Although Lin Qingtong didn't know what had happened, she wouldn't easily call herself for help.
Lin Qingtong's expression changed. She pushed away Shen Tinghe, who was lying on her chest, and pressed her slender fingers against his forehead.
"Calm down first, I'm on my way."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingtong stood up and straightened her disheveled dress with a serious expression.
"I have something to do at work, so I have to go now."
She left in a hurry after saying a few words, completely unaware of the red marks on her collarbone.
