37: Chapter 38 Shen Nian – A Ripe Peach.

The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and Yu Bo walked in carrying a tray with warm water and a few slices of bread.

He was already dressed, looking refreshed and invigorated, his face carrying the languor and tenderness of satisfaction. Seeing Yin Tianxue wake up, his eyes instantly lit up.

"You're awake?" He walked to the bedside and sat down, placed the tray on the nightstand, and leaned over to kiss her forehead, "How are you feeling? Are you still in pain?"

His voice was so gentle it could melt, and his eyes were full of concern, like a completely different person from the "beast" who had been relentlessly conquering her body last night.

Yin Tianxue glared at him, but unfortunately, her eyes lacked any intimidation due to her exhaustion and languor, instead carrying a coquettish charm, "What do you think? I almost thought I was going to fall apart."

Yu Bo chuckled, reached under the covers, and began to massage her sore waist with a moderate pressure, soothingly, "My fault. Next time, we'll try a different position."

"That's still tiring. You're just like an ox." Yin Tianxue hummed comfortably, enjoying his service, though she didn't let him off the hook verbally.

"I'll definitely be more careful next time." Yu Bo's tone became more serious, but his hands didn't stop, "You're too tired. We're going to see the 'Wing Flight' test this afternoon. If you can't handle it, should we reschedule?"

"No need." Yin Tianxue shook her head; she didn't want to delay important business because of "that kind of thing," and besides, she didn't want to show any fatigue in front of Shen Nian, "I'll be fine after a rest. Help me run some hot water; taking a bath should relieve it."

"Alright." Yu Bo immediately got up to run the water.

Yin Tianxue leaned against the headboard, watching his busy back, a complex emotion rising in her heart. Her body was exhausted, even complaining about being "overwhelmed," but her heart was full, grounded by the feeling of being loved, and... a strange, sweet sensation after having shared a "battle" together.

Perhaps this is what adult love is. It's not just romance and spiritual resonance, but also includes the most primal intertwining of desires and the most honest physical connection. There is loss of control, there is adaptation, there is extreme pleasure, and there is also the exhaustion and care that follows.

And what she needed to do was to "recover" as quickly as possible, and... really put "strengthening her physique" on the agenda. Not to please anyone, but to better enjoy this intimacy, and to be able to stand by his side more composedly to face everything in life, whether it be the hidden arrows in the business world or... the "storm" in the bedroom.

Yu Bo returned after running the water, picked her up horizontally, and walked toward the bathroom. The warm water and the scent of essential oils soothed her physical exhaustion. Yin Tianxue leaned in his arms, feeling drowsy.

At three in the afternoon, at a secluded outdoor test site in the far suburbs of Jiangzhou, rented by "Yifei Intelligence."

Yu Bo and Yin Tianxue arrived on time. The test site was located on the edge of an open wasteland, with rolling low hills in the distance and a simple observation shed and some obstacle simulation facilities set up nearby.

Shen Nian was already waiting outside the observation shed with her core team. Seeing Yu Bo's car approach, a bright smile immediately blossomed on her face, and she walked up to greet them quickly.

However, when she saw the passenger door open and a young woman with a cold and peerless temperament step out, instead of Yu Bo's assistant or driver, her steps faltered almost imperceptibly, and the smile on her face froze slightly, but it immediately returned to radiance, though a hint of extremely complex emotion flashed deep in her eyes.

"Chairman Yu, you're here!" Shen Nian spoke first, her gaze falling on Yu Bo with just the right amount of enthusiasm and respect, before turning to Yin Tianxue with eyes full of just the right amount of surprise and inquiry, "And this is?"

"General Manager Shen, this is Yin Tianxue, my girlfriend, and also an important partner of 'Listening to the Waves'." Yu Bo introduced, his arm naturally resting on Yin Tianxue's waist in an intimate and natural posture, "She is also very interested in the technology of 'Yifei Intelligence,' so she came along today to learn a bit."

"Miss Yin, hello! I've long heard of you, and I'm finally meeting you today." Shen Nian immediately reached out to Yin Tianxue, her smile sincere and warm, her gaze quickly scanning Yin Tianxue's face as she marveled inwardly.

She had long heard that Yu Bo had a girlfriend with an impressive background and extreme beauty, but seeing her today, "beautiful" was an understatement; she was simply breathtaking. That cold, ethereal temperament, the impeccable features, and the composure and aloofness of someone long accustomed to being in a high position that faintly revealed itself between her brows, all made Shen Nian, as a woman herself, feel an invisible pressure, as well as... a hint of indescribable, complex emotion mixed with admiration and comparison.

No wonder... Shen Nian instantly understood why Yu Bo had been able to stop himself last night even when she had "thrown herself at him." With such a stunning girlfriend by his side, his standards were raised extremely high, and his self-control was naturally extraordinary.

"General Manager Shen, hello. Sorry to bother you." Yin Tianxue reached out to shake Shen Nian's hand, touching and withdrawing immediately, her tone calm and polite, her gaze calmly assessing Shen Nian.

Shen Nian had clearly dressed up deliberately today. She wasn't wearing the capable suit skirt she usually wore, but had changed into a design-forward jumpsuit in a workwear style, with crisp material and sharp tailoring that perfectly outlined her tall, curvaceous, and powerful figure.

The jumpsuit was a deep khaki, making her skin appear even fairer. A wide belt in the same color around her waist cinched her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand, and highlighted the stunning curves of her chest and hips.

Her long hair was tied into a neat high ponytail, and her makeup was slightly heavier than usual, with bright red lips and upturned eyeliner, giving her a look that was both dashing and capable, while also revealing the unique, aggressive charm and allure of a mature woman.

In the wilderness of the test site, this outfit was both appropriate for the environment and sufficiently eye-catching; she had clearly put thought into it.

Yin Tianxue understood. No wonder Yu Bo had "lost control a little" that night. To be fair, Shen Nian was indeed an extremely charming woman; at thirty-something, she was at the peak of maturity, having shed her youthful naivety, possessing both the confidence and capability of a successful woman, as well as the unmasked sexual attraction radiating from a mature body.

Standing there, she was like a juicy, ripe peach waiting to be picked, possessing a natural, fatal allure to men.

Yin Tianxue could even understand that under the multiple factors of alcohol, the night, and Shen Nian's active "vulnerability" and "temptation," Yu Bo, as a normal man, would have physiological impulses. Fortunately, he had held his bottom line in the end. This realization caused the instinctive hostility and scrutiny Yin Tianxue felt toward Shen Nian to fade slightly, replaced by a more calm assessment and... a subtle hint of appreciation as fellow outstanding women.
