Chapter 87 Sorry, Nana
With Shen Yuan's help in washing and chopping vegetables, four dishes and one soup were quickly served. Today, Lih Xiao prepared sweet potato leaves, braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork, as well as kelp soup and beer duck.
The beer duck had just come out of the pot, the skin still sizzling with hot oil, and the kelp soup had been simmered for a long time, now giving off an enticing fragrance.
Shen Yuan swallowed subconsciously, thinking to himself that Teacher Lih Xiao's cooking skills were indeed amazing.
During the meal, Lih Meng picked up some food and asked, "Shen Yuan, how many girlfriends have you had?"
Shen Yuan was chewing on a piece of rib when he almost spit it out at this parental-style question, after thinking it over he replied, "Two, why?"
The girlfriends that Shen Yuan had made public were indeed only two, one was a high school girlfriend, and the other was the senior, Zhou Wanting. He hadn't officially announced any others.
Lih Meng responded with a light "Oh," saying, "Then your romantic experiences are quite rich."
Lih Meng couldn't help but worry; he knew that his sister had never been in love. A little white, inexperienced in love, could easily be taken advantage of, especially since Shen Yuan was younger. Boys at that age were probably not so mature.
Lih Xiao's cheeks turned a bit red, thinking that this girl was really something for asking such a question.
And Shen Yuan, hearing this, also felt somewhat helpless. Two counted as rich?
If Lih Meng knew he was dating several at the same time, she would probably be spitting blood.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" she asked again.
"I have a younger sister."
"How old is your sister?"
"She's in her senior year of high school, eighteen years old."
"Oh."
Lih Meng realized there wasn't much else to ask, nothing but family circumstances and romantic experiences. As for education background and financial strength, she had already heard all about them from her sister.
He might be wealthy, but the key is that when men have money, they might go bad. It's just that she didn't know if Shen Yuan could withstand external temptations.
Lih Xiao couldn't help kicking Lih Meng under the table with her right foot, signaling her to stop asking these unnecessary questions.
Lih Meng glanced at her sister, puffed out her cheeks a bit in dissatisfaction, thinking how she was helping her find out more about him, yet being blamed for it.
As for Shen Yuan, he thought that since Lih Meng was inquiring about his background, Teacher Lih Xiao must have spoken to her about him. It seemed like she was slowly beginning to accept him.
The progress was delightful!
With this thought, Shen Yuan gently caressed Lih Xiao's instep.
Lih Xiao immediately pulled her foot back and gave Shen Yuan a secret glare.
But Shen Yuan had no intention of letting her go, quietly lifting his foot and rubbing it up and down the calf of her leg.

He had changed his shoes upon entering, and Lih Xiao was wearing shorts, with her whole calf exposed. Touched by Shen Yuan like this, she could hardly bear it.
Lih Xiao really did underestimate Shen Yuan's boldness; he had managed such a feat three times in the past, and now he dared to do so right under her sister's watchful eye.
Finding it intolerable, Lih Xiao withdrew both of her feet, even pulling her stool back a bit to once again distance herself from Shen Yuan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lih Meng gave Lih Xiao a suspicious look; she felt that her sister was acting strange today, speaking less and generally seeming off.
How odd, normally a girl with the guy she likes would be very happy, right?
Lih Meng had no idea that just beneath her watchful eye, in their new home, her sister had already been bullied by the wolf in sheep's clothing, Shen Yuan, three times.
After finishing the meal, Lih Xiao also cut some cantaloupe and watermelon. After devouring a few pieces, Shen Yuan didn't linger much longer; he said goodbye to the sisters and left, as he had another battlefield to head to.
At that moment, Lih Meng came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. She glanced at Lih Xiao sitting on the couch, spacing out:
"Sis, on the surface, his conditions seem quite good but I don't know about his character. You've been his counselor for three years, so you should understand him well, right?"
Lih Xiao was absent-minded, unsure how to explain. Character is something that depends on the perspective of analysis.
If you consider personality, he is indeed positive and optimistic, and he is willing to commit, caring about himself, and more mature and independent than many guys, capable of managing on his own in social situations.
However, he was also too bold, repeatedly bullying her, having consumed her both on the top and mid lane thoroughly.
They hadn't even confirmed their relationship yet and he dared to do this.
From this angle, Lih Xiao didn't dare to vouch for his character being good.
Thinking of that cheeky and mischievous face, sometimes Lih Xiao just wanted to bite it.
...
After leaving Dongsheng Neighborhood, Shen Yuan intentionally loitered for a while by the outdoor unit of an air conditioner outside a small restaurant.
The air from this unit was strong and had a bit of a smoky smell, ideal for covering up any scent from his visit to Lih Xiao's home.
Although Nana would definitely not say anything, if she sensed the smell of another woman while they were together, it would inevitably make her uncomfortable.
When he arrived at MS Café at 7:30, there were hardly any customers left and the place was getting ready to close. Xiaoqiu was mopping the floor and greeted him respectfully upon seeing the boss arrive.
"Shen Yuan, you're here, have you had dinner yet?" Chen Na walked over, tenderly taking Shen Yuan's arm with both hands.
For Chen Na, Shen Yuan was now her entire emotional support. She felt content just having him come to accompany her.
Today, Nana was dressed almost like Xiaoqiu, with a form-fitting black T-shirt revealing her slender waist and pronounced curves, paired with tight blue jeans that accentuated her long, athletic legs.
Shen Yuan slapped her perky behind firmly: "I've eaten."
Chen Na let out a surprised yelp. She hadn't expected Shen Yuan to be so bold. She instinctively looked for Xiaoqiu, relieved she was busy mopping and probably hadn't seen.
Then, shooting Shen Yuan an indignant glare and keeping a distance, she said, "Then wait for me, I'll finish cleaning up here, and we can go back."
"Sure, we'll talk in detail later."
As Chen Na continued tidying up the tables and chairs, Shen Yuan noticed that her Feel-good Index had changed compared to last time.
After their last round of poker, Chen Na's Feel-good Index for him was 83, but now it was 86.
The Feel-good Index was closing in on 90, and Shen Yuan was somewhat looking forward to it, thinking that with a bit of effort tonight, he might be able to get the Feel-good Index up to 90.
After all, the rewards for a Feel-good Index of 90 were quite substantial.
The two of them quickly tidied up the place and locked up the shop, with Xiaoqiu riding her electric bike home, while Chen Na got into Shen Yuan's car.
"Shen Yuan, I've got something to tell you. Xiaoqiu has a lot of enthusiasm for her work and is very responsible. Right now, she's making 3200 a month, and I want to raise it to 3800. What do you think?"
As the Defender cruised along the road, Chen Na asked from the passenger seat.
"Sounds good, do as you said."
Shen Yuan had no objections; an extra 500 a month was nothing to him. He could even accept raising it to 5000. Besides, Xiaoqiu would trigger the employee reward after working for three months and receive a car worth 200,000.
In Star City, the common wages for jobs in milk tea and coffee shops were around 3000, and some were even as low as a bit over 2000 a month. 3800 was already considered quite good.
The MS store wasn't particularly busy; its business was just average.
"Then let me tell you something too, okay?"
Shen Yuan asked Chen Na in return.
"What is it?"
"You still have that gray business suit and black stockings, right?"
"Huh?"
Chen Na, feeling that something was off, looked at Shen Yuan warily: "What are you going to do?"
Shen Yuan smiled: "You know what."
Chen Na puffed up her cheeks discontentedly: "You said it yourself, tonight is a proper compensation, and you even told me to trust your character. Have you forgotten that already?"
Shen Yuan replied earnestly, "Yes, a proper compensation. I compensate quite a few billion dollars' worth."
"But I don't want that kind of compensation...."
"....."
Though Chen Na said she didn't want it, after she took a shower back at the apartment, she obediently changed into the gray suit.
Underneath the jacket, she wore a white U-neck undershirt, revealing a generous expanse of snowy white skin at her neck and neckline, while the tight skirt hugged her derriere, and the fitted black stockings showcased her straight, shapely legs to full effect.
It had to be said that Nana's legs indeed offered many possibilities for play, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but smack his lips appreciatively.
Chen Na turned off the lights, leaving only a desk lamp on, then slowly walked over and knelt beside Shen Yuan: "Shen Yuan, why do men like this?"
She didn't quite understand; wasn't it more convenient without them?
"Don't worry, you'll understand it slowly."
(PS: An old picture reposted, looking at it again should reveal a different flavor)
"....."
Shen Yuan couldn't help himself from starting to compete with Chen Na in card skills. To be honest, those two times today with Lih Xiao, he had felt quite pent up, plus the seductive Liew Menglu had kept teasing her with little clothes.
So tonight, he simply poured all his pent-up frustrations onto Nana.
The battle was fierce that day, and after one hour not only were a couple of pairs of stockings shredded, but the white undershirt had also been tugged into a somewhat distorted shape.
Chen Na probably hadn't expected him to be so ferocious tonight either.
However, she now somewhat understood why so many people were intoxicated with such activities; the sensation was truly sublime....
Thinking this, Chen Na couldn't help but cling tighter around Shen Yuan's neck, fully enjoying the pleasure it brought.
After another half hour, and spending four or five little goals, Shen Yuan got up from the bed, ready to drink some water and also replenish some hydration for Nana.
Chen Na, too, was worn out, lying motionless on the bed; she had no strength left, her from head to toe skin displaying a faint rosy blush, her gaze drifting and unfocused.
Different from the past few times was the faint satisfaction on her face.
When Shen Yuan came back into the room, ready to hand water to Chen Na, he suddenly noticed a change in the Feel-good Index displayed above her head.
[Feel-good Index: 90]
Finally reached 90!
Damn, this kind of exercise really gives a big boost to the Feel-good Index!
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host has produced the second woman with a Feel-good Index over 90, achieving the Feel-good Index milestone task. Reward release imminent.....]
The system panel suddenly appeared in Shen Yuan's mind, and the System Daddy began to hand out rewards.
Shen Yuan subconsciously clicked into the backpack in the lower right corner of the panel, where three new red dots had appeared.
Shen Yuan was a bit excited; he vividly remembered the last set of rewards and quickly clicked into the backpack to see three vouchers inside.
[Length Increase xxx]
[Exclusive 5 million Automobile Consumption Gold]
[Exclusive Skill Pack Exchange Card*1]
Shen Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, immediately filtering out the latter two vouchers.
With that thought, he tapped on the voucher to use it right away.
He would let Nana try out this new longer gun!
Sorry, Nana!
You'll just have to endure tonight!
