Chapter 510: Chapter 510 Shen Junlan’s Secret

Shen Junlan had proven her point, that speaking more is not as powerful as responding with actions.

The scenes unfolding before her only further confirmed that her thoughts were right.

At this moment, Shen Junlan also held Chen Wei in awe, standing up and clapping so hard that the palms of her hands hurt.

It was as if she were competing with others, feeling compelled to clap louder than them.

Shen Junlan didn’t understand why she had such childish thoughts.

Chen Wei didn’t say anything, and after the performance ended, he returned to Shen Junlan’s side, and the two of them sat down face to face.

Chen Wei asked, "How was it? Not bad, right?"

"Not just not bad, President Chen, you haven’t participated in those international competitions; otherwise, those masters probably wouldn’t stand a chance."

Shen Junlan was just speaking frankly and hadn’t intended to flatter Chen Wei.

Because if Chen Wei went on stage first, setting a high standard, what difference would it make for others who couldn’t meet that level to perform, if not to humiliate themselves?

As a professional pianist, if one couldn’t even discern the difference in skill between themselves and others, that would be an insult to the word ’professional.’

"Really." Chen Wei didn’t argue.

Seeing the look on Shen Junlan’s face, Chen Wei knew if he were to argue, she would likely become excited enough to slam the table and desperately try to prove that she was not joking and was serious.

That would inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Although there were already quite a few people looking their way now.

Especially the women, some of whom, upon noticing his gaze towards them, made subtle moves under the table in front of their companions.

For instance, deliberately pulling zippers and lifting their skirt hems to reveal their long legs, almost as if the word ’desperate’ was written on their faces.

Chen Wei quickly withdrew his gaze.

When Shen Junlan noticed these women’s subtle moves, her gaze sharpened, and she glared fiercely, sending out a dangerous signal.

She warned them not to harbor any ill intentions towards Chen Wei, otherwise, they should not blame her for being impolite!

Those women, knowing Shen Junlan was not to be trifled with, and realizing Chen Wei was not interested in them, quickly restrained themselves.

Better to focus on hooking the mining tycoon right in front of them.

Although he was not as handsome or talented as Chen Wei, his wealth was substantial enough to somewhat make up for the disappointment.

"I’ve always heard people say that being too excellent is also a trouble; I didn’t really understand this saying before, but after meeting you, President Chen, I think I finally get it," Shen Junlan said half-jokingly.

She wanted to lighten the awkward atmosphere caused by those few women.

"Really? I think this saying also suits Miss Shen quite well," Chen Wei raised his glass.

"Cheers," Shen Junlan also lifted her glass.

The two drank glass after glass, and naturally, Chen Wei couldn’t possibly get drunk with his tolerance.

Shen Junlan was only slightly tipsy.

It was evident that she could hold her liquor well.

"Maybe we should stop here for today." As good as the drink was, Shen Junlan didn’t want to be greedy and risk getting drunk and embarrassing herself in front of Chen Wei.

She didn’t want to lose the image she had worked so hard to rebuild.

"Okay, shall I take you home?" Chen Wei asked following her lead.

Shen Junlan glanced at her watch, "It’s still early; there is a rooftop garden on top of this hotel, do you want to go up and have a look?"

"Sure, let’s go," Chen Wei stood up and said.

"Alright."

...

Ding!

Afterward, the two took the elevator together to the top floor.

Beneath their feet was a lawn, and green plants were everywhere; coupled with the stars in the sky, it was truly a feast for the eyes.

However, even more pleasing to the eye was Shen Junlan, leaning against the railing with her hair pinned up, her cheeks slightly rosy from the gentle breeze, amidst the backdrop of the brightly lit streets.

Chen Wei took out his phone and snapped a picture.

Hearing the click, Shen Junlan turned her puzzled gaze toward him.

"I have a passion for photography; when I see something beautiful, I just want to take a picture and keep it as a memory," Chen Wei hurriedly explained.

At the same time, he handed over his cell phone for Shen Junlan to see the photo.

Shen Junlan’s cheeks grew even redder at first.

Then, she finally reacted woodenly, taking the cell phone from Chen Wei’s hands and started to look.

At first glance, she was surprised. "Director Chen is indeed Director Chen, the composition, the angle, it’s truly beautiful. I even doubt that the person in the picture is me."

"Can you send me a copy of this photo? I also want to keep it as a memory," Shen Junlan asked.

"Of course." Chen Wei took back the cell phone, operated it for a moment, and sent the photo to Shen Junlan.

"How about I take a picture of President Chen as well?" Shen Junlan suddenly suggested.

"Sure!" Who would say no to being photographed after photographing someone else? Chen Wei readily agreed.

"Then, President Chen, please keep this pose and don’t move," Shen Junlan instructed, stepping back a few steps, raising the phone, and pressing the capture button.

Click.

"How does it look?" Chen Wei asked.

Shen Junlan gave an embarrassed smile. "I really don’t have a knack for taking photos. Better delete this one so it doesn’t offend your eyes, President Chen."

Afterwards, it was getting late, and the sun had already set.

Shen Junlan didn’t want to trouble Chen Wei and decided to take a taxi home by herself.

Chen Wei didn’t insist.

In the taxi.

"..." Shen Junlan remained silent.

A few minutes later, she reached into her pocket to take out her cell phone and then opened the gallery.

She clicked on the first photo, and the male lead in it was none other than Chen Wei himself.

Not only was the photo not bad, but it was actually very good.

Zooming in with two fingers, Shen Junlan’s gaze slid down to Chen Wei’s eyes, then to his nose, his mouth, his chin...

The more she looked, the stronger the inspiration in her mind became.

Looking up, she urged the driver, "Driver, please hurry up."

"Alright," the driver complied without hesitation to the request of a beautiful woman.

Ten minutes later, the car came to a stop, and Shen Junlan got out.

"Thank you." She said, closed the car door, and went home.

She took off her shoes and hurried straight to the second-floor study.

She turned on the computer from sleep mode, her fingers poised over it, tapping away furiously.

Ideas flowed like a spring!

It had been a long time since Shen Junlan had felt this way.

Though she wasn’t using a pen, her typing was as if inspired by the gods!

The story flowed effortlessly, and she couldn’t finish writing fast enough.

And the more she wrote, the redder Shen Junlan’s cheeks became.

Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she began to breathe heavily.

Her thighs rubbed against each other...

Those in the know would understand this was the process of writing; those unaware might assume her expression indicated something else entirely.

This expression was indeed too misleading.

"Whew..." Over twenty thousand words, completed in less than two hours!

However, Shen Junlan didn’t send the passionately written draft to the editor.

Instead, she opened a secret website hidden in her browser’s bookmarks.

[This website is restricted to those under the age of eighteen. Are you over eighteen years of age?]

Upon seeing the pop-up reminder, Shen Junlan unhesitatingly clicked [Yes].
