"Don’t be in such a hurry, Feifei."
Shen Mingchuan wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he said cheerfully,
"I just sold my two comrcial properties today. Got five million in total."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Xu Fei’s sharp voice instantly softened.
"So? Why are you calling ?"
"I wanted to say..."
Shen Mingchuan flicked the cigarette from his mouth out the window, clutched his phone, and unleashed a torrent of abuse, the veins in his neck bulging.
"You f**king b**ch! You really think you can look down on just because you’re pretty? F*** you! You’re nothing but a money-grubbing gold digger! A s***-for-brains, s****y piece of trash! Get the hell away from !"
Before Xu Fei could reply, Shen Mingchuan imdiately hung up, blocked all her contact information, and yelled, "So satisfying!"
Once his agitated mood gradually cald, he began to fantasize about his wonderful future.
’Looks like Ping wants to get back together, too.’
’If we really do get remarried, I have to treat her well from now on!’
Shen Mingchuan secretly made up his mind.

♪~Love is a ray of light, so wonderful, guiding us to the future we want!~♪
On the way to the Cat Cafe, the atmosphere inside the car was silent, save for the music from the speakers.
Seeing Lin Shen driving seriously without a word, Lin Ping thought he wasn’t satisfied with what she’d done at Shen Mingchuan’s house. Her hands, resting on her snow-white thighs, clenched tightly.
After biting her lip and hesitating for a mont, the beautiful young woman cautiously asked,
"President Lin, was I okay?"
"You were fine."
Lin Shen said frankly.
"I’ll observe you again when Shen Mingchuan treats us to a al."
"Okay."
Lin Ping nodded shyly, and a weight was finally lifted from her shoulders.
"President Lin, you can rest assured. Shen Mingchuan is very timid and afraid of trouble. He generally won’t do anything illegal."
"I know."
Lin Shen said softly, which made Lin Ping feel rather embarrassed.
"Thank you for helping ."
"By helping you, I’m also helping my forr self."
Lin Shen’s gaze was profound as he revealed, for the first ti, his true reason for helping Lin Ping.
He saw a shadow of his past self in this beautiful young woman.
Although he hadn’t been married, his situation was quite similar.
In fact, Lin Ping’s situation seed even more tragic than his had been.
She was cramd into a small, old, dilapidated apartnt with her daughter, and her only ans of livelihood had been run into the ground and bankrupted by her ex-husband’s sches.
If not for him, Lin Shen couldn’t imagine how terrible Lin Ping’s life would have beco.
So he had stepped in and helped her out in this small, insignificant way.
Lin Shen didn’t consider himself a good person. Back when his own life was a ss, he hadn’t done any good deeds either.
But now that he had a bit of money, he always found himself wanting to do sothing aningful.
This was just the beginning. Later, if his business venture went smoothly, Lin Shen wanted to establish a charitable foundation and a psychological counseling center.
It would be dedicated to helping people who had been deceived in their relationships, regardless of gender.
’Since I’ve been rained on myself, I should at least hold an umbrella for others, right?’
Seeing Lin Shen smile, Lin Ping didn’t quite understand the aning behind his words, but she could feel the gentleness he directed at her.
It ward her heart and made her feel that she had made the right decision.
’Becoming Lin Shen’s mistress must be the right choice!’
「6 p.m. The sky was growing dark.」
「Warm Paws Cat Cafe.」
After arriving and parking the car, Lin Shen used the key Shen Mingchuan had given him to open the roll-up security door of the adjacent shop.
RATTLE—!
Instantly, a pungent, musty sll assaulted them, making Lin Shen frown.
Seeing this, Lin Ping quickly found a mask for Lin Shen. Only after they put them on did they enter the shop to inspect it.
The place was filthy, and the tables and chairs were old and broken.
The peeling walls still had the old nu posted on them, and the back kitchen was so disgusting they couldn’t even bring themselves to enter.
’This is disgusting!’
Lin Shen had no trouble suspecting that the place had already beco a nest for cockroaches and rats.
Having this kind of ti bomb right next to his Cat Cafe, an infestation could break out any day!
So, without hesitation, Lin Shen imdiately contacted professional cleaning crews through various social dia platforms.
He even offered to pay extra to have them clean the shop with the utmost urgency.
He finally scheduled an appointnt for the next day, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Soone is coming to clean tomorrow. You watch over it for ."
Lin Shen handed the key to Lin Ping.
"Contact when they’re done."
"Okay."
Lin Ping carefully put the key away, then followed Lin Shen into the Warm Paws Cat Cafe to inspect the renovation progress.
Overall, he was very satisfied.
The ambiance, the layout, and even the small decorative touches that highlighted the cat cafe the all t Lin Shen’s expectations.
This further solidified his resolve to start this business.
"Go make a cup of coffee."
After inspecting the superficial aspects, Lin Shen decided to examine the cafe’s core—the quality of its drinks.
This was, after all, the most critical part of the service industry.
So, Lin Shen had Lin Ping prepare one of the shop’s most popular coffee drinks for him—kopi luwak.
During this ti, he finally had a mont to check his phone.
Lin Shen first opened the Goddess Manual in Shuaiyang. Just as he expected, Lin Ping’s information had been entered.
[Na: Lin Ping]

[Conquest Progress: 70%]
[Currently Releasable Intel: ...]
"This is about what I expected..."
Lin Shen murmured as he looked at Lin Ping’s information, but the details in the "Currently Releasable Intel" section were a bit unexpected.
’Huh?’
’It can’t be what I’m thinking, can it?’
Lin Shen’s expression suddenly turned strange.
He had co across information about it before, but he always felt it wasn’t sothing that would be so easily accepted.
In any case, Lin Shen had absolutely no interest in that sort of thing.
’But...’
’Lin Ping has been married, but she probably hasn’t... right?’
A bold idea suddenly occurred to Lin Shen, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up slightly.
