Chapter 621: Chapter 300: Shotgun Wedding (Part 2)

Her legs also had beautiful lines. Even covered by fabric, you could still make out their well-defined, shapely contours.

At a glance, you could tell they weren’t just stick-thin. They were supermodel legs, with full thighs and toned calves. Even in plain white canvas shoes, her steps had a powerful quality, as if she were wearing high heels.

Of course, at 173cm tall barefoot, high heels weren’t suitable for her; they would make her look overly tall.

Legs like hers weren’t meant for stockings. Stockings were only for women with less attractive legs.

For someone with a supermodel-class figure like Qin Yuenan, wearing stockings would just ruin her aura.

Add to that the perfectly round bottom outlined by her jeans and a coolly beautiful face that was unmistakable even behind sunglasses.

A celebrity-level beauty like her wasn’t an entirely rare sight at the IFS Mall.

Qin Yuenan was long accustomed to the stares. After taking off her sunglasses, her gaze immediately found Zhao Jianing, who had just parked her car not far away.

She was also driving a Ferrari, the same SF90 model as Lin Shen, but hers was solid black, which didn’t quite match her style.

Generally speaking, if you don’t buy a red Ferrari, it’s not really a Ferrari.

But Zhao Jianing was just that unconventional. She even had a pure white Maybach at home.

It was hard to say she had bad taste; you could only say that the rich have their own unique aesthetics.

"Nannan!"

Upon seeing her best friend, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, Zhao Jianing gave Qin Yuenan a big bear hug. She rested her head on Yuenan’s chest, her hands playfully copping a feel of her waist as she giggled mischievously.

"Feels like your figure’s gotten even better. Is that the result of your recent vigorous battles with Lin Shen?"

"I’ve been so busy lately. It’s not like that at all."

Qin Yuenan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Zhao Jianing, which only piqued her friend’s curiosity.

"So? Is it going smoothly?"

"It’s going okay."

The moment the topic turned to work, it was as if the floodgates had opened for Qin Yuenan.

"Currently, Shennan’s tenth physical store has opened, covering ten districts in Modu. We’re still looking for suitable locations in the remaining six districts."

"Once we have full coverage in Modu, we’ll try to expand into surrounding cities, like Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"As for online, the pet food is selling well, too. The standard version has captured a certain market share through price wars, but the premium version is actually our bestseller, with a lot of repeat customers."

"We’ve also collected feedback from these customers and found that they care more about safety and peace of mind. So I’m planning to add instructions inside the packaging on how much pet food to feed which pet and at what times..."

Listening to Qin Yuenan go on and on, Zhao Jianing felt her head start to spin and quickly covered her friend’s mouth.

"Didn’t you ask me out to go shopping? Why are we just standing here talking about work?"

"Actually, there are some things I need your opinion on."

Hearing Qin Yuenan say this, Zhao Jianing’s interest was immediately piqued.

"Oh? Someone as decisive as you needs my opinion on something? Don’t tell me it’s about Lin Shen, is it?"

"Mhm."

Qin Yuenan averted her gaze, her voice dropping to a small, slightly embarrassed whisper.

"I’m going home with Lin Shen for the National Day holiday."

Huh?

Zhao Jianing was stunned when she heard that.

"You’re planning to marry him?"

"Not yet."

At the mention of marriage, Qin Yuenan crossed her arms and couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

"This time is just to meet his parents. Whether we get married or not is another matter. Besides, you know his personality, and Shennan is still in its startup phase. Getting married right now would get in the way."

"You’re already meeting the parents. Marriage can’t be far off."

Zhao Jianing’s eyes lit up as she suggested,

"You can secure your spot first—get engaged! That way, you won’t have to worry about someone else snatching Lin Shen away. After all, his parents will have met you."

"Hmm..."

To be honest, Zhao Jianing’s suggestion was tempting to Qin Yuenan, but it was still something she needed to discuss with Lin Shen.

After all, this was a major life decision. She couldn’t make it rashly. If she ended up making Lin Shen angry, it would be a disaster.

"I’ll ask him about it. The main reason I asked you out today was to get your opinion on something."

"Your opinion on what?"

"What gifts I should get for Lin Shen’s parents, and what would be appropriate for me to wear when I meet them."

"With a body like yours, you still have to worry about clothes?"

Zhao Jianing couldn’t help but retort.

"Everything looks good on you. Don’t worry about things like that."

"But it’s for meeting Lin Shen’s parents... it’s not quite the same..."

Qin Yuenan always dressed for the occasion.

For the workplace, she wore more serious outfits in darker tones. On a daily basis, she prioritized casual wear, dressing for comfort.

As for hiking outdoors, she’d just wear athletic gear for convenience.

But for meeting her boyfriend’s parents, Qin Yuenan felt a gentler, more ladylike style would be more appropriate.

Lighter color palettes.

But this kind of clothing was practically nonexistent in Qin Yuenan’s wardrobe.

Her cool and aloof personality meant she would never choose clothes that looked so soft and delicate.

But this situation was different.

On top of that, the thought that she was three years older than Lin Shen made Qin Yuenan’s heart flutter with anxiety.

’He might not care much, but his parents might be very particular about a woman’s age!’

’If they end up disliking me, it’s all over!’

Therefore, Qin Yuenan planned to have Zhao Jianing, a fashion expert, help her pick out some outfits that looked youthful and graceful to better appeal to the older generation.

After she explained what she was looking for, Zhao Jianing seemed to have an idea.

"Let’s go, then. I’ll help you pick!"

"Okay."

Qin Yuenan’s expression softened considerably. She followed Zhao Jianing up the elevator and was led directly to some of the stores they frequented.

For example, Ports, mu designer label, and other common luxury brand stores like Chanel.

But this time, the sections Zhao Jianing and Qin Yuenan browsed were completely different.

From the new autumn and winter collections, she picked out some "sweet girl" style outfits that were a complete mismatch for Qin Yuenan’s aura.

For instance, slouch socks or a pink padded jacket completely threw Qin Yuenan for a loop, and her brow furrowed.

"These clothes don’t suit me, do they?"

"Didn’t you say you wanted to change into a style that parents would like?"

Zhao Jianing draped a scarf with a cat print around Qin Yuenan’s neck, then suddenly realized something was off.

"Yeah, it is a little unsuitable. Your expression is too stern. You’re not suited for the sweet style."

"If you show up with that look on your face, Lin Shen’s parents will think you’re unhappy with them."

"Then what do I do?"

Qin Yuenan started to panic. She rubbed her cheeks, trying to soften her expression, then forced what she thought was a very sweet smile.

"What about this expression? Does it look a little better?"

"Uhh... It’s hard for me to say."

Although she found the smile incredibly awkward, Zhao Jianing still couldn’t help but speak up, trying to save face for her best friend.

"Why don’t you just stick to your usual style? Dress comfortably. Just be normal, that’s fine."

"Really."

Qin Yuenan looked a little disappointed, but Zhao Jianing suggested,

"You can just buy more gifts for Lin Shen’s parents! That way, even if your face looks aloof, as long as you bring enough gifts, I’m sure Lin Shen’s parents will love you."

"That’s what I was thinking."

Qin Yuenan nodded.

"That’s why I asked you to come this time. I mainly want your help picking out gifts for Lin Shen’s parents, because I asked him, and he doesn’t even know his own parents’ preferences."

"Let’s just pick some popular, safe options then."

Zhao Jianing thought for a moment and then listed some ideas.

"For Lin Shen’s mother, let’s focus on gold jewelry and health supplements. For example, something like ejiao. My family happens to have a box of high-end ’Nine-Dynasty Tribute’ ejiao that a friend of my mom’s gave her, but my mom doesn’t eat it. I’ll sneak it out for you later."

"That must be expensive, right?"

"Not that expensive, only a little over twenty thousand."

"That’s not expensive?"

Qin Yuenan was suddenly very touched.

"Thank you, Jianing."

"Come on, you don’t need to thank me."

Zhao Jianing said with a grin.

"When you and Lin Shen get married, I won’t give you a cash gift, okay!"

"Okay."

Qin Yuenan sounded a little wistful.

"I feel like that’s still a long way off."

"Don’t worry. If you really want it to happen, I can teach you a trick."

"What is it?"

Seeing Qin Yuenan’s curious face, Zhao Jianing leaned close to her ear and whispered with a laugh.

"A shotgun wedding, of course!"
