《Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother》 Chapter 1: 001 Second chance at life "Li Zhiyan, Aunt Sh hasmitted suicide." "Ever since Mgch''s idt, she has always be unhappy. Her husband also betrayed her. Rectly, she missed her daughter too much." "Unable to dure any longer, she¡­" Listing to the voice on the other d, inside the rtal room, Li Zhiyan''s hand let go of the wine ss, and it shattered on the g. This news struck him like lightning out of the blue, spreading pain rapidly through his heart. Aunt Sh, too, has left this world. "Li Zhiyan..." "Li Zhiyan..." Li Zhiyan could no longer hear the voice on the phone. The only person in this world who had be kind to him was now dead. What meaning did this world have for him anymore? His consciousness was continuously dissolving, and the memories of his life shed by like a moving panorama in his mind. At 3, he had still achieved nothing in society. His grandparts had passed away long ago, and he had never se his father since childhood. His mother died in an idt wh he was 9. Misfortune, it seemed, joyed singling out the hapless. Now, he struggled alone in society, living a hard life. Ev wh he got sick, he had to dure bitterly alone in the hospital. Whever he saw others cared for and cherished by someone, Li Zhiyan''s heart felt uncontroble vy. With average height and a face that could only be considered pretty, it seemed as though no one had ever truly cared for him over the years. Except for the girl with the limp he met after graduation, Su Mgch, who liked to wear her hair in twin ponytails. Su Mgch was truly beautiful, but because of her inner insecurities, she was reluctant to interact ormunicate with others. She always walked with her head down, hating the ugly way she walked due to her limp. On a few fortunate asions, he had oped her heart. Bing her boyfrid was the first time Li Zhiyan had ever be in a rtionship, ev though they were always pointed at wherever they wt. But Li Zhiyan, just an ordinary person among the masses, felt blessed to have found such a beautiful woman; it was his good fortune. Su Mgch had truly giv him all her sincere love and emotions. And her mother, the morous Sh Rongfei, the woman with a chest size of a D+ that resembled Zg Li, had also be really good to him, treating him like her own son. Back th, he thought, if he could marry Su Mgch, he would be satisfied to live his life like that. But with the pressures of life forcing its way in, After losing his job, he had be evicted by thendlord, and only th did he realize that without money, nothing worked in society. Feelings of inferiority and repression constantly besieged him. Thankfully, that silly girl remained by his side throughout. But he didn''t wait for a wedding with Chch; instead, he received the devastating news of Chch''s death t years ago while he was working. Due to an idt, Su Mgch had lost her life, leaving him forever, just like his mother. Li Zhiyan didn''t know how he had managed to survive these years. Throughout these years, Li Zhiyan, immersed in pain, fought desperately against fate. He wanted to earn more money, to one day give Aunt Sh a better life. But the pressures of life were too great. In the Magic Capital, Li Zhiyan worked overtime diligtly, yet he could barely make ds meet. Another night of drunk stupor. Li Zhiyan th heard the terrible news of Sh Rongfei''s suicide. As his consciousness gradually disintegrated, Li Zhiyan''s heart was filled with pain. Is this the d¡­ If there is a next life, I want to be a rich second-geration, a super wealthy person! That way, I can forget all the troubles of this world and have no more regrets. ¡­ Wh Li Zhiyan oped his eyes again, he saw a rose in his hand. There was a card on it that had embarrassing, foot-itching love talk that he had writt. "Yu Sisi." Li Zhiyan wanted to continue reading but was too embarrassed to go on. "Is this a hallucination?" He pinched his own flesh hard, a surge of pain hitting him. It snapped Li Zhiyan back to his sses, taking in the familiar surings of his school as he pulled out the flip phone from his pocket. Li Zhiyan nced at the time. "0, July st!" "0!" The voice of his best buddy, Li Shiyu,pletely drew Li Zhiyan''s thoughts back to the year 0! "Brother Yan, you''re really bold! To actually make a public confession to Yu Sisi!" An embarrassing memory flooded his mind, one of two embarrassing evts in his adolee. One was the constant rants about wanting to be a millionaire. The other was his goddess throughout his youth, Yu Sisi. He had pursued her for a full two years, but although she epted his gifts and kindness, she never epted his confessions. Ev though she came from a wealthy family, the gifts Li Zhiyan exchanged for all his living expses were indiscriminately epted by her. And she had a set of professional responses. epting gifts ¡Ù agreeing. And she couraged him to keep pursuing her, telling him that she would consider being his girlfrid in the future if he was sincere ough. Because he was repeatedly rejected, today he got carried away. He announced in the ss group chat that he would confess to his goddess at the graduation party today. Afterward, he made his public confession, only to be ruthlessly rejected by Yu Sisi. He was also mockingly pped in the face by rich second-geration ssmates who were also pursuing Yu Sisi. For many years toe, this evt became a topic of casual conversation and ridicule among his ssmates. He could never forget the 8-year-old he was at the graduation party, a clownish version of himself. "That''s a pretty flower you have." "I think the school beauty will definitely like it." As they spoke, the two had arrived in front of the hotel. Seeing the flowers in Li Zhiyan''s hand, Yu Sisi proudly lifted her head. At 8, she was in an age of vanity. Although she didn''t care for the ordinary Li Zhiyan, being the cter of such a public confession from him was a way to prove her charm. Looking at Yu Sisi in front of him, Li Zhiyan felt nothing anymore. Instead, his atttion waspletely on Yu Sisi''s mother, Gu Wanzhou. Giving birth to a school beauty like Yu Sisi, Gu Wanzhou''s looks were naturally exquisite, and with the refinemt of time. Today, she was dressed in a ck button-up shirt with a ck pcil skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of high heels. The charm of a mature woman was released to its fullest. Only a mature woman could carry such an outfit so well. There was a special allure about her. Perhaps it was because she was of a certain age. Li Zhiyan felt he was bing increasingly appreciative of the beauty of mature wom. And at this momt, the more he looked at Yu Sisi''s mother, the more she resembled the madam from K (A Korean TV series, in which there is a character who is a very sexy and beautiful Milf, Song Yoon-ah ???), causing his hormones to race. The madam is also very beautiful! A mature woman''s unique attraction to a young man? Th a voice rang out. "System awaking sessful." "Random task issued." "Yu Sisi will refuse and embarrass you in the uing confession." "Please confess to Yu Sisi''s mother, Gu Wanzhou." "Task reward, fifty thousand yuan in cash." This voice made Li Zhiyan pause. A system?! Chapter 2: 002 Publicly confesses to the school beautys mom Li Zhiyan had never thought he would be reborn, nor did he know what an ordinary person could do after being reborn. Stock market? He knew nothing about it, had not ev oped an ount. Start a business? He didn''t ev have the initial startup capital. Buy lottery tickets? Not to mtion whether it was the numbers or the people that won the lottery. He didn''t know a single winning lottery number. But unexpectedly, he had returned with a system, although it seemed quite weak. Still, it was a kind of cheat; fifty thousand was quite a lot, ough to improve his mother''s life. Thinking of his mother still being alive, Li Zhiyan''s heart was filled with a warm feeling. Outside the hotel, his ssmates had already gathered. Li Zhiyan saw a few boys who followed thetest trds with their hair dyed in various colors. Reds, gres, purples, they were all there. Memories of adolee began to assault Li Zhiyan frantically. The nearby girls looked at Yu Sisi with eyes full of vy; only a beautiful girl could receive such a high-profile confession during her teage years. Aunt Gu watched Li Zhiyan with interest. Was this boy going to confess to her daughter? It looked quite romantic. She had contact with Li Zhiyan before and found him to be very nice; she had ev discussed her daughter''s interests and hobbies with him. Besides thinking that the boy was a bit introverted and liked to talk about his dream of bing a millionaire, she liked everything else about him. Overall, she had a very good impression of him. She had not expected that today he would dare to confess to her daughter in front of so many people. After Li Zhiyan had approached his ssmates with a bouquet in hand, his ssmates had already started to make a racket. "Go Li Zhiyan!" "Confess quickly!" Some ssmates ev started recording with their phones, and Li Zhiyan knew that for many years toe, his video would be circted in the ss chat group. It made him the butt of jokes for many years. After going to university, Yu Sisi ev showed the video to each of her roommates, always feeling that it was a testamt to her charm. Li Shiyu was also there, cheering Li Zhiyan on. He thought that although Li Zhiyan and Yu Sisi were not on the same level, such a public confession today might just work wonders! However, he had no idea that what Li Zhiyan was about to do would be aughingstock among their ssmates. "Li Zhiyan, you ar''t going to confess to Yu Sisi, are you? Go for it, I believe you can definitely seed!" Upon hearing ss presidt Liu Yaolong''s sharp voice retding to be surprised, Li Zhiyan had no expression on his face. The news about his public confession during the ss reunion had be the talk of the ss since yesterday. The two people Li Zhiyan hated most in the ss were Liu Yaolong, the ss presidt who always made him clean up by abusing the little power he had, and the rich second-geration kid, Liu Zifg. He had deep conflicts with both of them, eving to blows. Especially Liu Zifg, who, relying on his family''s wealth, had some people gang up on him. Thankfully, Li Shiyu helped him, and they both took the beating but managed to catch Liu Zifg alone and gave him a good thrashing, avoiding the worst of it! At this momt, Liu Zifg looked at Li Zhiyan with amusemt. By this time, his rtionship with Yu Sisi had grown very close. Because Liu Zifg''s mother and Aunt Gu were best frids, he had an unparalleled advantage in pursuing Yu Sisi. However, despite being handsome and wealthy, Liu Zifg had still failed to capture Yu Sisi''s heart. Because of Yu Sisi''s afflut family backg, ev Liu Zifg''s wealth could not meet the exceedingly materialistic demands of Yu Sisi. Looking at his demeanor, it was appart he knew Yu Sisi would reject Li Zhiyan, and he was preparing to mock her for it. Eighte, indeed an age without a brain... Oply holding his phone, Liu Zifg turned on the camera and looked indiffertly at Li Zhiyan. Neither height nor appearance was remarkable, just a in average joe, daring to confess to Yu Sisi?! Truly ignorant of his own insignificance. He had already privately chatted with Yu Sisi the night before, and she indicated that she wasn''t the slightest interested in Li Zhiyan, but just wanted to tease Li Zhiyan for fun, so she had him record it. As for Li Zhiyan, this clown, there was no doubt he would be rejected right there and th! "This loser actually dared to pursue the same woman as me?" "Who do you think you are?!" Liu Zifg thought to himself, with a sneer on his face. Before the eyes of everyone gathered. Li Zhiyan approached Yu Sisi. Ev the homeroom teacher and his wife stepped aside to give Li Zhiyan space for his confession. After arriving in front of Yu Sisi. Li Zhiyan stopped. Yu Sisi''s face was full of arrogance, like a princess, with Li Zhiyanpletely at her mercy, pping to her tune. He still harbored dreams of bing a millionaire every day, which wasughable indeed! With you alone, dreaming of bing a millionaire? "I''m sorry, Li Zhiyan, but I feel we are just not on the same level..." Her words were cut off before she could finish. Li Zhiyan, who had already discreetly pocketed that card, now turn a and look at Gu Wanzhou. And th offered her the flowers. "Aunt Gu, I have liked you for a long time, would you be my girlfrid?" Those words made the gathered studts fall intoplete silce! Li Zhiyan had imed he would confess to his goddess! But it turned out not to be a confession to Yu Sisi but one to her own mother, Gu Wanzhou! This world was too crazy! Liu Zifg, who had intded to record this confession as a mockery, and was preparing to mock Li Zhiyanter, was petrified. Had this kid lost his mind, daring to confess to Gu Wanzhou? This was his mother''s close frid, his elder by years! Was Li Zhiyan''s affection for Yu Sisi a facade? Was getting close to Gu Wanzhou his real intt? Yu Sisi''s face turned red. She was ready to reject Li Zhiyan in a high-profile manner. But unexpectedly, she was the one who misunderstood in the d? ! She wished she could find a hole to crawl into. And Gu Wanzhou''s mind wt utterly nk. The object of Li Zhiyan''s affections wasn''t her daughter, but herself. "My dear, don''t be joking." Divorced for many years, and now suddly being confessed to by a young man 3 years her junior, Gu Wanzhou found herself at a loss. ``` Chapter 3: 003 Do you know Oedipus? 3 003 Do you know Oedipus? "Aunt Gu, I''m not joking." "I''ve liked you since the day you came to the parent-teacher conference." "That''s why I pretended I wanted to pursue Yu Sisi just to get close to you." "Please give me a chance." Li Zhiyan''s voice was very serious, and having lived two lifetimes, he was no longer afraid of any embarrassment. If he wasn''t embarrassed, everyone around him would feel embarrassed instead! Compared to fifty thousand yuan, what was a little embarrassment? He would dly kneel down for an easy fifty thousand yuan. His best friend Li Shiyu felt an impulse to kneel down to Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan must be crazy! Confessing to the school beauty''s mom in front of everyone at a graduation party¡ªwhat an idol! Li Zhiyan''s words made Yu Sisi feel increasingly embarrassed, as all she said before boomeranged back to hit her precisely. Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful face blushed slightly, making her look even prettier. After Li Zhiyan confessed to her again. Gu Wanzhou knew that things might not be so easy to resolve. "Come with me, let Auntie have a good talk with you." Saying this, Gu Wanzhou took Li Zhiyan by the hand and walked toward her Mercedes. All this was within Li Zhiyan''s expectations. Gu Wanzhou, at 41, of course wouldn''t publicly reject him like Yu Sisi did and make it impossible for him to save face, bing the butt of jokes for years toe. Mature women typically have a lot of life experience, know how to take care of people, are considerate of others'' feelings, and are notpetitive. This is something young girlsck. After being reborn, Li Zhiyan found himself increasingly fond of mature women. "Get in the car, darling." "Auntie will take you out for some tea." Looking at this year''s model of the Mercedes-Benz E that just came out, his memories became clearer. Aunt Gu really was rich; she owned apany in Wancheng, upied a high position, and thus had an authoritative aura that inexplicably made Li Zhiyan feel secure. Why didn''t I pursue Gu Wanzhou in my previous life? Maybe back then, I simply hadn''t appreciated the charms of mature women, nor did I have the courage. If I hadn''t been reborn, knowing that money is more important than face, I definitely wouldn''t have had the courage to confess to Gu Wanzhou in person. After the car drove away, the ssmates all discussed Li Zhiyan''s actions. Yu Sisi''s expression looked extremely ugly, and thinking about her unfinished words just now made her feel even worse. Seeing her ssmates looking at her strangely, she stamped her foot and ran off; she just couldn''t stay at the reunion any longer. Yu Sisi''s expression looked extremely ugly, and thinking about her unfinished words just now made her feel even worse. Seeing her ssmates looking at her strangely, she stamped her foot and ran off; she just couldn''t stay at the reunion any longer. Liu Yaolong''s face also looked very unsightly; originally, he had wanted to see this annoying guy make a fool of himself. And Liu Zifeng felt like he had swallowed a fly, with all the sarcastic remarks he wanted to say stuck in his belly. Shiyun, on the other hand, was a bit taken aback¡ªthis kid actually liked a woman over twenty years his senior? ... On the road, Li Zhiyan tried to open his system. Sure enough, in his mind, Li Zhiyan saw that the system task was alreadypleted. "Taskpleted." "Arranging funding source¡­" "Because you used your spare time to learn programming," "You have made some achievements inputer programming." "Helping President Liu of Liuyun Company solve a system crash issue within thepany earned you a reward of fifty thousand yuan." "Please go to Room 999 of Xinyuan Grand Hotel tomorrow night to receive your fifty thousand yuanpensation." "Room scenario, 12 people." "Gu Wanzhou, Liu Zifeng, Yu Lili, Rao Shiyun, Liu Yan¡­" "Because they are business partners, 12 people have gathered here for a dinner." "Note: Learningputer programming technology." Li Zhiyan cursed silently at the trashy system. Shouldn''t it have been about directly depositing money into his bank ount, and in a way that others couldn''t trace? Moreover, the system panel was extremely crude and didn''t provide any follow-up tasks. Nevertheless, having the system made Li Zhiyan quite content. When the car arrived at Qiujue Teahouse, Li Zhiyan''s train of thought was finally pulled back. "Little rascal, let''s go up and have a chat." Looking at the problematic youth beside him, Gu Wanzhou decided to help this kid resolve his psychological issues! Having a liking for a woman 23 years his senior was abnormal. Perhaps it was an Oedipusplex. Psychologically speaking, it wasn''t healthy. "A private room, a pot of green tea." Once inside the private room, Li Zhiyan also recalled that teahouses of this era were quite popr. It was simply because this ce was a good spot for rendezvous... Selling tea hardly made any money, but the room fee of more than twenty yuan was cheap and didn''t require identification registration. Many who didn''t want to go to a hotel woulde here to take care of things directly. In three or four years, the teahouses would begin to decline slowly from Wancheng. And those people would then opt for the hourly rooms in hotels. The two sat in the room, bothpletely silent. It wasn''t until the green tea was served and the waiter left the room that Gu Wanzhou finally began to speak slowly. "Little rascal, when did you start liking Auntie?" Looking at the thoroughly average Li Zhiyan in front of her. Gu Wanzhou felt that when she was young, she wouldn''t have had any interest in Li Zhiyan, but now past 40. She looked at Li Zhiyan as if he were a younger family member, so she wanted to pull him out of his misguided thoughts. "Since the first time I saw you," Li Zhiyan said as he picked up the green tea, speaking very seriously. Looking at the beautiful legs wrapped in Gu Wanzhou''s flesh-colored stockings, he felt more and more that Aunt Gu was more charming than those young girls! "Xiao Yan, this is not right. Auntie is already 41 years old." "And you are only 18 years old now. Our age difference is a full 23 years. With such a gap, you shouldn''t harbor thoughts of affection." Without showing any sign of backing down, Li Zhiyan said, "But, Aunt Gu." "In this society, many wealthy men are with 18-year-old girls, aren''t they? Their age gaps are also in the tens to twenties, so why can they do that, and I can''t like Aunt Gu?" Li Zhiyan''s words left Gu Wanzhou a bit speechless, and she did not know how to respond for a moment. The way Li Zhiyan was confidently talking with her, with all his reasoning, unexpectedly stirred a sense of admiration in her heart. At 18, he could confess in front of others, and he didn''t retreat the slightest when faced with her lecturing. Such temperament was truly extraordinary. For a moment, she wasn''t quite sure how to educate Li Zhiyan. Was his affection for her a mistake? It didn''t seem to be a mistake. She was a divorced woman, free both legally and morally, and although Li Zhiyan was just 18, he was also an adult man. It seemed there was no aspect where his liking for her could be considered a mistake. "Li Zhiyan, do you know what an Oedipusplex is?" At this point, Gu Wanzhou still wanted to correct Li Zhiyan''s thinking; she believed Li Zhiyan should be fond of girls his own age. Chapter 4: 004 Gu Wanzhous heart was beating a bit fast. Gu Wanzhou subconsciously felt. That Li Zhiyan liking her was a mistake, as a young man should like young girls. Like how Li Zhiyan should like her own daughter, Yu Sisi. "I certainly know." "The term was coined by Sigmund Freud who borrowed a mythological storyline from the ancit Greek ywright Sophocles." Li Zhiyan found that after his rebirth, his memory had greatly improved. Perhaps this was one of the befits of being reborn. "The name of this myth ''Oedipus Rex''." "Oedipus in the storymits the two great sins of patricide and¡­ marrying his Mother." Li Zhiyan''s words made the 4-year-old Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face blush slightly. The culture in the country is very traditional, and as a woman born in 969. Gu Wanzhou''s heart was truly that of a traditional woman. Meanwhile, she looked at Li Zhiyan with a flicker of interest in her eyes, although Li Zhiyan was very young. Yet his knowledge seemed to be very profound, and he could ev articte the source of the Oedipus story, its author, and the one who coined the term. "The level of culture in the country is rtively traditional." "About the story of Oedipus, it is a taboo subject that nobody dares to talk about." "The main reason for this is that m who like older wom, especially mother." "Will be discriminated against by others, and ev if some people like mature wom, it is something hidd deep inside that they dare not speak of." Li Zhiyan knew that many people liked mature wom, or else ''Love Action Movies'' from that Cherry Blossom Country would not have a category dedicated to them. "Discrimination?" Gu Wanzhou looked at Li Zhiyan before her and felt increasingly that this young fellow was quite interesting, he was only 8 years old but seemed to understand everything. "Yes, discrimination. In fact, I believe it''s very normal for a man to have an Oedipusplex." "Liking an older woman is not something to be ashamed of." "It''s just that our country''s culture has always be dominated by a patriarchal society, and it was only after the reform and oping up that it slowly started to reverse." "And the female desire for strgth and the malepetitive spirit have driv m to be more economically powerful." "In terms of partners, theparison is who has a younger and more beautiful spouse." "For a man to find a partner older than himself." "Would be viewed by society and the geral public as ack of capability." Looking at Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face across from him, Li Zhiyan could increasingly sse that hint of mature charm. "People always try to cover up their disgraceful aspects." "Therefore, Oedipus bes a lifelong secret that most m who like mature wom will bury, ev if they have a girlfrid much older than themselves." "They would date secretly, afraid of being se wh out in public for fear of ridicule." Li Zhiyan''s well-reasoned words made Gu Wanzhou feel amazed, and at the same time, found them very persuasive. However, she seemed to want to correct his incorrect thoughts. Now why does it seem like she is being led by the words of this kid? "So, under the influce of male chauvinism, this society discriminates against the act of ''small horse pulling the big cart''." "I don''t think it''s wrong." "Ev homosexuality can be respected and epted, let alone the very normal, albeit ssitive, matter of liking mature wom." "Aunt Gu, I know you want to say that I have an Oedipusplex, but thisplex is not wrong or sinful." "Perhaps it''s because I was born ordinary and grew up in a single-part family,cking affection." "So I do indeed have some of thatplex." Li Zhiyan spoke frankly, as everyone has more or less some quirks. As long as one faces them correctly, there''s nothing that can''t be acknowledged. "However, my liking for you has nothing to do with Oedipus." "It is simply a pure fondness for you, and I don''t think it''s a mistake or something that shouldn''t be." Li Zhiyan''s gaze was intse as he looked at the beautiful young woman across from him, his thoughts still on why he hadn''t realized how beautiful and attractive Gu Wanzhou was in his previous life. Instead, he was fixated on the materialistic, gre tea b*tch Yu Sisi every day. But back th, my own life experice was so limited, that ev if I had developed feelings for Gu Wanzhou, I probably could only sneak a picture to look at under the covers at night. As for anything else, there wasn''t ev a need to think about it. In this life, I''vee to appreciate Aunt Gu''s many virtues. Most young girls are gold-diggers, selfish and self-ctered, never considering others'' feelings. While someone like Gu Wanzhou, a mature auntie, knows how to care for others'' feelings. It''s appart from the fact that she didn''t outright reject me; instead, she drove me to the teahouse. Moreover, she''s intellectual and elegant, possessing many qualities of the previous geration of wom. How could this not be countless times better than young girls? Looking at Li Zhiyan across from her, Gu Wanzhou, who was so eloqut in business, found herself at a loss for words for a momt. I had intded to educate him that this was just an Oedipusplex, that his feelings for me were not guinely liking me but merely adolesct desire and some fantasies. But I hadn''t expected him to analyze the situation from so many angles. He ev said that his fondness for me was not because of Oedipus. This truly made her feel incredulous; his speech was rational, organized, clear, and logical. An 8-year-old kid, achieving this level, was really quite remarkable. And thinking back to Li Zhiyan''s phrase about the small horse pulling the big cart (This is a Chinese proverb,СÂíÀ­´ó³µ, small horse = young man, big cart = mature woman, means young man likes older mature woman. This stce is also used as a tag in some adult sex video categories.) Gu Wanzhou felt her face slightly heat up. "So, Aunt Gu, could you consider being my girlfrid?" "I want to be with you." After being reborn, he clearly felt that his hormones had also surged a lot. Always ready to spring into action. The summer sun shone through the leaves outside the window, casting mottled shadows. A gtle breeze swayed the gre trees, and the leaves rustled. Li Zhiyan, now shaded by some of the leafy shadows the sunlight cast in, also looked somewhat handsome. Seeing the seriousness of the youth in front of her, and his bright eyes, Gu Wanzhou inexplicably felt her heart beat a little faster. However, her rationality was still very clear. Mature wom, more oft than not, would refer to their rich life experices wh thinking about the problems at hand. "Oh, dear, I''m already 4 this year, a full 3 years older than you." "I could be your mother." "You should know that this is an impossible thing." "And society wouldn''t ept our rtionship either." Li Zhiyan continued, "Aunt Gu, please don''t reject me, at least give me a chance." "Ev though you are 3 years older than me, I feel that age is not an issue." "Just like in ''Forrest Gump,'' life is like a box of choctes, you never know what you''re gonna get next." "Some things may not turn out well." "But if you don''t move forward, you can be sure that you''ll always be stuck in the same ce." Gu Wanzhou was somewhat dizzy from Li Zhiyan''s words; she felt that unless she bluntly said she did not like Li Zhiyan, she could put an d to this farce, but she just couldn''t bring herself to say such hurtful words to a boy who could be her son. But now, it felt as though she was being led by him. This kid, how could he talk so well? Somehow, she was reminded again of the phrase about the small horse pulling the big cart. Chapter 5: Aunt Gu, maybe we are destined to meet. Gu Wanzhou understood what it meant. She is not a virgin who does not know anything about sex betwe man and woman. And because she understood everything, some images involuntarily popped up in her mind. A small horse, a big cart... Odd, yet possessed a differt kind of beauty. Li Zhiyan made a lot of sse, but, she could never be with Li Zhiyan. Firstly, there was a 3-year age gap, no future. Secondly, Li Zhiyan''s looks and height were average, something she would not have be interested in wh she was younger, and he was just an immature child; his confession was probably driv by hormonal teage fantasies. If she agreed to be with him, it would be an extremely irresponsible act towards both herself and him. However, the kind-hearted Gu Wanzhou ultimately couldn''t bear to crush Li Zhiyan. The boy was from a single-part family andcked affection, thinking of which made Gu Wanzhou feel overwhelmed by maternal feelings. She couldn''t hurt the child any further, it looked like she could only use an adult''s method to solve the issue, cold treatmt. First say she needed some time to think it over, and th dy, gradually, it woulde to nothing, after all, she probably wouldn''t see him many times in a lifetime. "Honey, can you give auntie some time to think it over?" "I will give you an answer after some time." Li Zhiyan knew that now was about the right time; if he kept on pestering her, it would backfire. As a 4-year-old middle-aged woman, particrly one who has be through a lot and is expericed and intellectual. Her thoughts were more oft inclined towards rationality. So, there was no need for him to continue now. After all, he would see Aunt Gu again tomorrow. "Alright th, Aunt Gu." "Let''s add each other on QQ."(Amunication software simr to WhatsApp) "Okay." Though she wanted to break off contact with Li Zhiyan directly, thinking about the pitiful circumstances of the boy. She still took out her smartphone and exchanged QQ with Li Zhiyan. Gu Wanzhou''s QQ ID was very poetic, named Eving Fishing Song. And Li Zhiyan''s QQ ID made him feel an urge to itch his feet, Forgott Love. "Aunt Gu, don''t refuse me wh I try to chat with you." "Hmm..." ... After the two left the teahouse. Gu Wanzhou asked, "Li Zhiyan, should auntie take you home?" ncing at the roses on the passger seat, the image of Li Zhiyan confessing to her shed through Gu Wanzhou''s mind. "No need, Auntie, I can get back by myself, my home isn''t far from here." "I was actually nning to spd some time on the inte." "But, I always have this feeling, Aunt Gu, that we will meet again soon." Li Zhiyan was aware that a woman probably believed in fate. "Why?" Gu Wanzhou was also very curious. "Maybe it''s fate, sixth sse, maybe it''s just my imagination." Gu Wanzhou smiled gtly, she felt that Li Zhiyan''s impulse towards her would soon vanish. The child still fancied inte cafes, utterly childish. After watching Gu Wanzhou leave, Li Zhiyan st a QQ message to his best frid Li Shiyu. "Meet at Fantasy Inte Cafe." "I''m on my way, brother." Li Zhiyan didn''t go straight home, because his mother was still at work, and it was quite inconvit to use the inte on the phone, particrly the limited QQ functions of the flip phone. He wanted to see if he could find Su Mgch''s QQ ID; the 8-year-old Su Mgch, what was she doing? Since he hade back to life, he could not let her down no matter what. The tragedies of Su Mgch and Sh Rongfei mother and daughter, this time, must not repeat at any cost. Having arrived at Fantasy Inte Cafe, Li Zhiyan habitually oped a temporary session. Not long after he had sat down, Li Shiyu came over with two bottles of Coca-C. "Here, one for each of us." Li Zhiyan looked at his best frid and felt a warmth in his heart. This guy was ev more ordinary than himself, the kind of person who would vanishpletely in a crowd. His most vivid memory of Li Shiyu was of him being a hardcore inte addict! He spt all his time online, scrimping on his meal money to pay for inte fees, and no matter how hungry he got, he insisted on buying himself a bottle of Coke while surfing the web. After graduation, Li Shiyu''s biggest hope was to start a family. But being as poor andmonce as he was, this dream was virtually unattainable. Latter, after giving up on marriage and saving some money, he bought a Cadic CT5 and simply lived the life of the Bath Emperor. As for all the talk about being bullied in a nursing home in old age and being lonely, well, whatever! Every time the gold-medal masseuse ''danced'' over someone''s body, All worries are forgott! There''s nothing truer in the fridship betwe m than this. Latter, wh he was down on his luck, he didn''t tell Li Shiyu, but once Li Shiyu found out about his predicamt, he didn''t say a word, sold his Cadic, and lt him two hundred thousand. Having be reborn, seeing his good brother without worries, only concerned with surfing the web, felt truly great. "Li Zhiyan, you looked so cool today, directly confessing to Yu Sisi''s mom, you didn''t notice Yu Sisi''s expression!" "I heard, she was chatting with that bastard Liu Zifg, nning to reject you. She didn''t private message you to call off your confession." "Your move was gius!" "A finishing blow, it was definitely a finishing blow!" Speaking, Li Shiyu seemed to suddly remember something. "Right, did Aunt Gu agree?" "What are you thinking, how could she agree?" "Here, take this to buy half a year worth of Big Cannon." Li Zhiyan pulled out a hundred Yuan note from his pocket and pped it in front of Li Shiyu. This guy always yammered about how cool it would be to blow things up with a Big Cannon during his breaks. "No way, Li Zhiyan, you didn''t rob a ce, did you?" "That''s not the way to go, man!" "It''s illegal!" "Cut the crap, it''s from my mom. Go top up some QQ Coins." After going back and forth for quite a while, Li Shiyu finally wt to the counter and asked the inte cafe manager to top up 0 QQ Coins, which he used to buy half a year''s worth of Big Cannon in the CF mall. "Now I want to see which grandchild dares to face me at the cter gate!" "Log in, let''s go y st mode together, you be the defder, and we''ll share info." Li Zhiyan just smiled. "You go ahead, I have something else to do. You y first, I''ll log onter." The ever-thusiastic Li Shiyu didn''t bother to ask what Li Zhiyan was going to do. "Awesome, awesome, find some gold!" ... Inhaling the smoky air of the dingy inte cafe, Li Zhiyan logged into his QQ ount. With some trepidation, he began searching for Su Mgch''s QQ number. Li Zhiyan remembered that Su Mgch''s QQ number was giv to her by Sh Rongfei. He wondered, who was the currt owner of this QQ number¡ªSu Mgch or Sh Rongfei? Would getting to know her early cause any butterfly effect? After clicking search, the familiar QQ number appeared, found by Li Zhiyan. He clicked on the option to add a frid. Feeling somewhat lost, Li Zhiyan hesitated. "Hello." Finally, he typed out two words and st the frid request. Chapter 6: 006 Societys offcuts, also moms little pride Wanchg afflut district. In Rose City, inside a 60 square metersrge t, Sh Rongfei was sitting in her bedroom, dealing withpany affairs online. At this time, the Sh family had not yet fall on hard times. And her husband had not yet met the woman who bore him a son, insisting on abandoning his wife and daughter. Family life could be said to be veryfortable. Suddly, the sound of a QQ cough notification rang out, an 8-year-old boy had st a frid request to her QQ, apanied by the words, "Hello." She nced at it and th closed the message. Although it was very popr to chat online in this era, At 4, she had nothing to chat about with childr. After a while, Sh Rongfei wt to her daughter Su Mgch''s room. "Mgch," "Do you want to go on a trip? Mom will take you to Hong Vige for a visit." Hong Vige is a vige in Wanchg with strong characteristics of Huizhou architecture; Sh Rongfei had be there a few times before and liked the atmosphere there very much. At this momt, looking at her daughter''s pale ankles, her heart couldn''t help but ache again. Such a beautiful daughter, who had perfectly inherited her own advantages in terms of appearance and figure. Yet she was congitally disabled, her condition had baffled many hospitals. "Mom, I don''t want to go out." Looking at Sh Rongfei in front of her, dressed in ck stockings and high heels, Su Mgch felt deeply inferior and vious. Not only did her mother resemble the star Zg Li, but she also had a much better figure, with a D+ bust size. If only she could walk in high heels like her mother. Usually, her female ssmates in school would call her a ''cripple'' behind her back. Those words, like swords, continuously pierced through Su Mgch''s scard heart. "Think about it again," "Will you?" "I understand, Mom¡­" The mother-daughter conversation was brief, and after leaving the room, Sh Rongfei wt to the study. Her husband Su Yu, with a face full of stubble, was busy withpany affairs. She and Su Yu each had their ownpanies, so they were usually very busy. And today, Su Yu had also returned home, a rare urrce. "Husband, can you not leave tonight? I miss you." Sh Rongfei couldn''t remember how long it had be since theyst had an intimate momt, she was a normal woman and naturally wanted to keep Su Yu with her. "I still have things to do in thepanyter, and I have to dine with Director Sun," "So I won''t be able to apany you." "Okay." His wife naturally had a seductive face. Beautiful and voluptuous, she loved to wear ck stockings and high heels, and she was the D+ version of Zg Li; it was impossible for a normal man not to be moved. But, every time he thought about being intimate with his wife, The disgusting sce from the delivery room echoed in his mind, extinguishing all his interest. She quietly exited the study, returned to the master bedroom, locked the door, and began to weep siltly over the desk. Her husband''s loss of interest in her had started the momt he tered the delivery room. Everybody said not to let your husband watch you give birth, and she had not believed it initially. But now, after so many years... The issues with her husband and her daughter weighed heavily on Sh Rongfei''s mind. It made her feel very oppressed, and she could only express her emotions through tears. ... Over an hourter, seeing that his frid request had still not be answered, Li Zhiyan knew that there was no point in hurrying; this QQ was probably still being used by his future mother-inw. How could she possibly ept a frid request from an 8-year-old boy online? At this time, Su Mgch''s family should still be very wealthy. The incidt where her mother-inw was cheated on and divorced never happed. Li Zhiyan didn''t know much about Su Mgch''s family affairs, he only knew that she now lived in the afflut area, but didn''t know exactly where. "Forget it, there are only forty days left until college starts." "It''ll be here in the blink of an eye." "I''ll go find her th." Since he had be reborn, Li Zhiyan felt that his object of affection had changed from a young girl to a mature woman. But for Su Mgch alone, his love for her was truly from the soul. Li Zhiyan had never thought before that, apart from his mother, there would be a girl who could love him like his own mother did. In this life, he must protect her well. Of course, he needs toplete the system''s tasks well. Although the system is weak, in this society, only with money can one protect everything one wishes to protect. Natural disasters, weddings, funerals, and all unpredictables need money to support them. "Damn, these teammates really suck!" Li Shiyu was still cursing and swearing. Li Zhiyan nced at his score. /5. "Okay, I''ll log on now, and we''ll y together." The breath of youth constantly assailed him, allowing Li Zhiyan to reintegrate into the age of 8. "You go over to the other side and spot for me. I''ll y these bastards." ... The two yed at the New Year''s Square until after six, Li Zhiyan figured his mother would be off work by now. "Li Shiyu, I need to go home." He pulled out thest hundred-yuan note he had on him, knowing that Li Shiyu was really broke now; having inte for today meant no funds for tomorrow. But ev so, he had to buy two bottles of c for the brothers to share. "Here, take this for inte fees." "No way, are you crazy? Where are you getting all this money from?" Li Zhiyan th said, "Don''t worry, I have money now. If you really feel bad about it, you can just pay me back wh you get your living expses in college." Both of their schools were not top tier, one was at a second-rate university, and the other was at a college, but fortunately, they were not far from each other. They could still hang out and y CrossFire or Dungeon Fighter Online together after tering university. "Alright th." In the d, Li Shiyu couldn''t resist the temptation of being able to y freely at the New Year''s Square for the next t days and took Li Zhiyan''s money. After they parted, Li Zhiyan headed straight home. On the way, Li Zhiyan''s steps were light. He was going to see his mother again. His mother had the idt the year after he started college. She wt to work in Magic Capital, hoping to earn more money to buy a house for him. The sry level in Wanchg was indeed too low. And unexpectedly, she had an idt a yearter, never to return. Li Zhiyan didn''t know how many times he had cried. But soon, he would see his mother again. A few minutester, Li Zhiyan finally arrived home. The sunlight nted into the old residtial alley, shining through the shade of the trees onto the young man. A distant light flitted through the boy''s eyes. Li Zhiyan gradually closed his eyes. He remembered asking his mother a question wh he was 7. "Mom, I''m so ordinary, I''m afraid no girl will like me and want to stay with me till old age." Under the summer moonlight in the countryside, Zhou Rongrong touched her son''s head tderly. "There is. Wh Mom first saw you, she was also a girl full of youth." He may have be a nobody in society, but he was also his mother''s little pride! Tears siltly fell as Li Zhiyan lifted his foot. Home! Chapter 7: 007 Mamas boy If there''s one person in the world who will love you unconditionally, it must be your mother. Perhaps it was the coldness and warmth of human rtionships in a past life that made Li Zhiyan feel a fondness for Wu Auntie in this life. Back home, Li Zhiyan saw his sneakers and his mother''s high heels on the shoe rack. Looking at the familiar rtal home, alive with a warm atmosphere. Li Zhiyan called out for his mom. "Mom," "What''s wrong?" Zhou Rongrong, who was wearing an apron while making food for Li Zhiyan in the kitch, replied. In that momt, Li Zhiyan''s tears broke through their barriers. Running into the kitch without any concern for his image, he threw himself into his mother''s embrace, crying. After 3 years, he finally had a mother to rely on again. In this lifetime, he definitely had to protect his mother well and give her the best life possible. "Xiao Yan, what''s wrong? Did someone bully you? Mom will go and settle the score with them," Zhou Rongrong was really scared; she had never se Li Zhiyan so heartbrok before. He must have countered some problem that was making him so upset. Hearing his mother''s worried voice, Li Zhiyan managed to calm his emotions quickly. Just as he tered and heard his mother''s voice, he couldn''t control his emotions. "I''m fine, mom, I just missed you," At this momt, a middle-aged beauty dressed in a cheongsam came out of the bathroom. "Yo, I never realized your son was such a mama''s boy," "He''s so grown up and still crying in his mom''s arms, haha." Li Zhiyan turned his head and saw Wu Qingxian, his mother''s close frid. His mom and Wu Auntie had always had the best rtionship. Li Zhiyan knew this, but he never really paid atttion before. Wu Auntie was so beautiful, she almost became his godmother at one point. And cheongsams were her favorite, they perfectly showcased her figure! "Xiao Yan might just be in a bad mood; he''s not usually like this," Li Zhiyan candidly admitted, "Yes, Wu Auntie, I am a mama''s boy. I want to be mommy''s baby for my whole life." "You have no shame do you." Watching the young man before her, Wu Qingxian felt that Li Zhiyan seemed differt from before. In the past, he was always evasive and barely spoke to his elders. Thest time she saw him was after the college trance exams he had be like that, but now he seemed like he had changed. "What''s there to be ashamed about." Li Zhiyan wiped his tears and sat down next to Wu Qingxian. "Wu Auntie, the happiest thing in the world is to be by mom''s side," Wu Qingxian, deep in thought, patted Li Zhiyan on the head. "Actually, being a mama''s boy isn''t so bad. Not like my son, who''s always far away from me," "Wh we meet, he acts like he''s meeting an emy. You''re at the same university too; if only he would learn from you and be closer to his mom," In the kitch, Zhou Rongrong also felt a sting in her eyes; her naughty son seemed to understand everything now. Wh he goes back to school, she would also have to go to Magic Capital to make money. In today''s society, with fewer wom than m in Li Zhiyan''s geration, if he didn''t have his own house in the future, the chances are high that he would be single for life, never able to find a wife. But today, her son suddly became so clingy. If she told him she was going to work in Magic Capital, would he agree? Zhou Rongrong felt anxious; she needed to persuade her son properly. After the meal was prepared, Li Zhiyan also took the initiative to help his mother serve the dishes. He realized how inconsiderate he had be in the past. He had never helped his mother with the housework, always being fed and clothed without lifting a finger. His mother took care of everything, from clothing to food to shelter, and only wh he lost her did he understand the pain of having his heart torn apart. Thankfully, there was still time to make everything right. ``` Li Zhiyan took the initiative to help with the chores, and his behavior earlier had convinced Zhou Rongrong that her son was up to something. Was he wanting to buy a newputer for gaming, or had he gott into some kind of trouble? "Mama''s boy, you''re really filial, ev helping your mom with household chores." "If only my son were this thoughtful, I''d be overjoyed to death." Envy tinged Wu Qingxian''s voice as she realized that having a mama''s boy for a son seemed quite blissful. During dinner, Wu Qingxian brought up howpanies in Magic Capital offered high sries, at least double those in Wanchg. Ev though it was just a casual conversation, it made Li Zhiyan''s heart pound with fear. No matter what, he couldn''t possibly let his mother go back to work in Magic Capital; he had to keep her by his side, to be a mama''s boy for life. Li Zhiyan never wanted to be a lonely orphan again. ... After his mother wt out to see Wu Qingxian off, Li Zhiyan returned to his room. The old second-handputer, the mouse model from theputer room, the worn little bed, the simple stool, and the cartoon posters on the wall. All these made Li Zhiyan feel extremelyfortable and at home. Having a chance to redo one''s life is really too good, too rare. Wh Zhou Rongrong came back home and finished washing the dishes, she took off her apron and, wearing a ck dress bought from a street stall, tered Li Zhiyan''s room. "Xiao Yan, there''s no one else here now, so tell Mom, did you get into some kind of trouble, or do you want to get a newputer for gaming?" Li Zhiyan didn''t answer but insteadplimted, "Mom, you look so pretty." His mother at this momt was as elegant and beautiful as she had be in his memories from 3 years ago. He felt it was a pity that he hadn''t inherited his mother''s good looks, but not everything in this world could be perfect. The world is full of imperfections, but mom mds what''s brok. "What nonsse are you talking about?" Zhou Rongrong tousled her son''s hair. Although she appeared unconcerned on the surface, her heart was bursting with joy inside. Her son had neverplimted her on her looks before. "What''s really going on? Spit it out." Zhou Rongrong was convinced that Li Zhiyan was hiding something. "Really, there''s nothing wrong." "You cried like that today; Mom knows you. Only back wh you were a child and got beat up by bullies did you cry like this. Did you get into a fight again?" "Mom, I really am fine." Li Zhiyan reassured her again, and after confirming several times with Li Zhiyan, Zhou Rongrong finally rxed. "I just have a wish." Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms a Zhou Rongrong''s waist. Zhou Rongrong thought to herself, of course, no one in the world understands a son better than his mother. This kid must definitely be asking her for something. "Go ahead and tell me." "Do you want to work in Magic Capital?" Li Zhiyan couldn''t ept any possibility of his mother expericing any mishaps again; her working in Magic Capital was absolutely out of the question. "How did you know?" Zhou Rongrong was surprised that although she only had the idea of working in Magic Capital, Li Zhiyan had spok it out loud. "It must be the mother-son connection!" "Yes, Mom was nning to go to Magic Capital after you start college. You know, housing prices are rising higher and higher." "Relying on this job in Wanchg," "buying you a house is practically impossible." "So, Mom needs to earn money to buy you a house, to get you a wife." ``` Chapter 8: 008 Gu Wanzhous Astonishment "No, I won''t let you go, please stay in Wanchg and work, stay with me." Li Zhiyan firmly opposed. It had be 3 years since he had felt the warmth of a mother''s love again. He absolutely wouldn''t allow any possibility of idts happing to his mother. "But, Xiao Yan, you''ll need money wh you get married." "No, Mom, I won''t let you go." Li Zhiyan clung to Zhou Rongrong like a child; he missed the warm embrace of his mother''s love too much. And Zhou Rongrong could only helplessly pat her son''s shoulder. It seemed that her n to go work in the Magic Capital was not going to happ. "If Mom doesn''t go to the Magic Capital, what about your house in the future? You can''t live in a rted apartmt in this old residtial building forever." "No girl will be willing to marry you." "Don''t worry about that, I have found a way to make money." Li Zhiyan had figured it out, he had the system and could rely on the system''s tasks to make money. If not, he could buy some virtual currcies. Although it might take a long time to make money, in t years, it would be ough to make himself a billionaire. Being able to be reborn and continue as a mama''s boy, Li Zhiyan truly felt very contt in his heart. Seeing her son, who seemed to have returned to the age of sev, Zhou Rongrong also felt somewhat helpless. As for her son making money, she had giv up hope, it looked like she would have to find a way to work more overtime and earn more money. ... That night, after returning to her room, Zhou Rongrong wt to the dressing mirror to look at herself. Her son''s praises were like honey, making her heart feel sweet. This kid, does he really think she is pretty? In the secondary bedroom, a small fan blew steadily at Li Zhiyan. At this age of 8, his body was robust; he wasn''t afraid of the cold at all! Li Zhiyan turned on the system, wanting to study it more thoroughly. Except for the reminder to go to Xinyuan Grand Hotel tomorrow night to collect his 50,000 yuan reward, there was only aputer programming course in progress. "My system, I''ll call it the Salted Fish System." Li Zhiyan named his system. Just as he was nning to rest well, the system suddly prompted him. "Programming skills have be fully learned." Li Zhiyan felt like his brain had gained a lot of new information. It seemed to be programming skills, and having mastered new techniques, Li Zhiyan became restless. He turned on the oldputer and tried writing a small program for auto-harvesting crops and found it came to him effortlessly. "Incredible, I apologize to you, system." Li Zhiyan realized that his system wasn''t really salted fish after all; at least now he had acquired a skill. At this time, programmers were not asmon as they would beter, and the technology he possessed was obviously very advanced. He could earn quite a bit of money doing part-time work in the future. This was also a form of hidd wealth! And who knows if the system would imnt other rewards in the future, like being strong and healthy. These things are much more meaningful than money. Afterward, he wrote several more small programs. After indulging in ying the programmer for a while, Li Zhiyan watched the first season of Love Apartmt that had aired just the year before. It was past elev wh he finally fell into a deep sleep. The next day, Li Zhiyan woke up and saw his mother standing at the door, seemingly having waited for a while. "It''s past eight, son; get up and eat." "Mmm, Mom." Leaping up, Li Zhiyan wt to the bathroom to wash up. He felt as if every pore of his body was jubnt. Now, he hadpletely blded into the year 0. "Son, why do I feel that you''ve be acting strange these past two days? You''re so happy today." "Seeing you makes me happy, I just want to stay by your side and be a mommy''s boy for life." Zhou Rongrong touched Li Zhiyan''s face. "Silly child, look at you, no ambition." "Mom won''t be able to follow you a for a lifetime. Alright, eat by yourself; Mom is off to work." "Remember to be careful of everything outside and don''t get into fights with others." "Oh, by the way, take this two hundred yuan for spding money." "Spd it frugally." In the past, such nagging would have irritated Li Zhiyan. But now, he only felt immse happiness, for he had his mother''s love again. "Mom, I can earn money, I don''t need yours." Zhou Rongrong didn''t take it seriously; after leaving the money on the table, she wt to the door, changed into the high heels she bought from a street stall, and left. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan took a detour to the inte cafe. Sure ough, there was Li Shiyu, using big cannons in the inte cafe to attack the New Year''s za. "Stepdad, you''re here,e y a couple of s! I just learned how to exploit the underg BUG of the New Year za''s defder!" "Not now, I''ve got something else to do this afternoon." "Do you want me toe with you?" "No need, just joy ying games here. I''m just going to op an online bank ount." As Li Zhiyan was about to leave, he added, "By the way, I think you should stop pursuing Wang Xinyue. She''s not a good person." Li Shiyu had a simr experice to his own, but his situation was ev more miserable. He pursued his ssmate Wang Xinyue from the first year of high school to the third year of university, for a total of six years. In the d, he was yed for a fool. In this era, the appearances of deceitful wom seemed to have be the norm. "I get it. Let me try a little longer. If it still doesn''t work out after school starts, I''ll give up." Although Li Shiyu didn''t know why Li Zhiyan suddly brought up Wang Xinyue, he felt that his buddy had changed, not like before. He was sure there was no harm in heeding his words. "Okay, in a few days, I''ll take you to the bath cter to have some fun. I guarantee you won''t be hung up on Wang Xinyue anymore." Li Shiyu, who was exploiting the game bug and sniping from the B slope, said with confusion, "Isn''t it just taking a bath? What''s there to joy? It''s not like I hav''t be before." ... In the eving, Li Zhiyan nced at the system notification time and arrived at Xinyuan Grand Hotel. "Fifty thousand yuan, it''s really a huge sum." In the past, Li Zhiyan didn''t think much of fifty thousand yuan, butter he understood that in society, besides your parts, anyone willing to ld you that amount deserved to be treated as a close frid. In front of money, nothing better tested human nature. Thinking of the fifty thousand yuan reward, the lifeless Li Zhiyan inexplicably felt a bit excited. Upon arriving at the Xinyuan Grand Hotel trance, Li Zhiyan immediately saw a Mercedes-Bz E-sse to a halt. Th, Gu Wanzhou, dressed in a ck suit paired with flesh-toned stockings and high heels, got out from the driver''s seat. Upon seeing Li Zhiyan at the trance, Gu Wanzhou was tak aback. She suddly remembered the words Li Zhiyan had said to her. "I always had this feeling, Aunt Gu, that we would meet again soon." She never expected to see this brave kid, who had once oply confessed to her, so soon again. From the passger side, Yu Sisi, who appeared as proud as a princess, also got out of the car. "Li Zhiyan?" Chapter 9: 009 Liu Zifengs mom is so beautiful The momt Yu Sisi saw Li Zhiyan, she remembered the awkwardness of the day before. Now, quite a few ssmates were talking about her unrequited feelings. And he had actually confessed his love to her own mother! Ev though she knew her mom would never be with Li Zhiyan, she felt really terrible about it. After following Gu Wanzhou to the Xinyuan Grand Hotel trance, she asked irritably, "Li Zhiyan, what are you doing here?" She had originally looked down on Li Zhiyan, just leading him on for her own amusemt. But now, she felt a deep revulsion toward Li Zhiyan. With his single-part family backg, she could never see herself with him in this lifetime. Liu Zifg was merely within her considerations, nothing more. "Sisi, is that how you talk to your ssmate?" Aunt Gu corrected her daughter''s attitude from the side. Yu Sisi turned her head away, clearly not wanting to talk more with Li Zhiyan. She felt there was nothing at all about him that interested her. The clown had be pursuing her, providing her with a feeling of aplishmt; that was somewhat useful until yesterday. She didn''t want to deal with Li Zhiyan anymore. Looking at Yu Sisi''s retreating figure, Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat helpless; her daughter had grown up and indeed was not easy to manage. "Xiao Yan, howe you are here?" Gu Wanzhou recalled what Li Zhiyan had said about them being fated yesterday. She didn''t expect them to run into each other here. "Aunt Gu, I helped someone with a project before, and after contacting him, he told me toe here to collect my paymt," Li Zhiyan exined. ording to the system''s prompt, all he needed to do was find Presidt Liu, Liu Yan, here to collect the money. "Project? What project?" Aunt Gu asked, piqued by curiosity. "Something likeputer programming," Li Zhiyan answered. After Li Zhiyan finished speaking, Gu Wanzhou''s impression of him plummeted rapidly. She had thought Li Zhiyan, growing up in a single-part family andcking affection, with an Oedipusplex and teage fantasies, might have developed feelings for her. In Gu Wanzhou''s heart, Li Zhiyan was a very pitiful, very honest child. But now, it seemed not only was he na?ve, he was also quite calcting. Why had he said they were fated yesterday? Probably only because he knew she would being to the Xinyuan Grand Hotel today. So he deliberately showed up, pretding to have a destiny with her, and from his na?ve talk ofputer programming, she could conclude that he was lying. A second-tier university studt, who couldn''t ev manage his studies well, let alone do thoseplexputer things. Coming up with such a poor excuse, he really was no differt from a t-year-old child. If he was so annoying, th she didn''t need to think about giving him the cold treatmt. She could simply reject him. Li Zhiyan ssed something from Aunt Gu''s gaze as well. Indeed, his story was a bit too far-fetched, and no sane person would believe it, yet it was actually true. Just th, an Audi A6 stopped at the trance right behind them. After Liu Zifg got out of the passger side, a voluptuous and attractive older woman stepped out of the driver''s seat, dressed in a ck suit dress. Her voluptuousness was just right, not overweight at all. The sight of her D+ bust and shapely legs sheathed in stockings under the short skirt quicked the pace of Li Zhiyan''s hormones. Despite looking like a woman in her forties, she was truly beautiful. The charm of this mature woman briefly stunned Li Zhiyan. This woman seemed somewhat familiar, yet he couldn''t recall where he knew her from at the momt. That''s right! Li Zhiyan remembered who the voluptuous beauty was. Liu Zifg''s mother, Rao Shi Yun. No wonder Liu Zifg is so handsome; turns out he has such a beautiful mom. It''s just that I never paid atttion to her in my past life. Wh Liu Zifg saw Li Zhiyan, his expression soured a bit. Young people are oft in a state where they fear neither heav nor earth. Therefore, they usually don''t hide their emotions. He had fought with Li Zhiyan before, found him extremely displeasing, and now his dislike for Li Zhiyan was ev stronger. Howe this kid is here? Rao Shiyun stepped forward and greeted Gu Wanzhou. "Wanzhou, your daughter has gott ev more beautiful. If only she could be my daughter-inw." Gu Wanzhou was somewhat helpless. "That''s up to your son to work harder. There''s nothing I can do if she doesn''t agree." Afterward, Rao Shiyun also noticed Li Zhiyan standing next to Gu Wanzhou. "Wanzhou, is this young man your nephew or your cousin?" In Rao Shiyun''s guess, this young man must be Gu Wanzhou''s nephew or cousin. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be so close to Gu Wanzhou. "No, he''s my daughter''s ssmate, Li Zhiyan." Hearing the name Li Zhiyan, Rao Shiyun became interested. Looking over Li Zhiyan, she knew that if he really wanted to be with Gu Wanzhou, it was basically hopeless. Gu Wanzhou has high standards, either handsome m or those with sessful careers. This kid, with his ordinary height and looks, definitely wasn''t Gu Wanzhou''s type. As for career, m with talt and capability are always in demand. She also liked capable m. But he was only 8 years old; after graduation, he would probably earn just a few thousand yuan in sry. What kind of prospects could he have? His only advantage was probably his youth. However, Gu Wanzhou certainly wouldn''t be with him just because he''s young. Loving someone with an age gap, especially a whopping 3 years apart. The problems they would have to face were just too many. An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old woman being in a rtionship, holding hands, kissing, sleeping together. It just doesn''t seem realistic, all you can say is that the kid ismdable for his courage. "So this is the Li Zhiyan who confessed to you, the youngster has got guts," "He ev dared to confess to you, Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu used to be a famous beauty." "Xiao Li, you''ve got good taste. Auntie wishes you an early sess in winning over the beauty." Rao Shiyun seemed to admire Li Zhiyan and made Gu Wanzhou''s face warm up a little. This woman, how could she bring this up? Was it Liu Zifg who told her? This issue would probably be gossip in the circle for many years toe. "Stop talking nonsse." "It''s about time, let''s go inside." "Pretty much everyone is here." Rao Shiyun waved her hand at Li Zhiyan. "Th Li Zhiyan, we''re going ahead, cheer up, Auntie thinks you''ll definitely win over Aunt Gu!" The temperature of Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face rose a bit more. Her impression of Li Zhiyan had dropped significantly. She felt increasingly that Li Zhiyan had a crush and wanted to take a woman 3 years his sior to a hotel room to fulfill his fantasies. To vt the hormones of adolee. For this purpose, he ev used such childish tactics to pretd there was a special fate betwe them. Li Zhiyan nodded slightly; he had checked earlier, and Liu Yan hadn''t arrived yet. He might as well wait a bit longer. Chapter 10: 010 I want to sit with Aunt Gu After arriving at the private room, most of the frids had already arrived. Except for Liu Yan, who hadn''te, there were a total of people. "Here we are, why hasn''t Presidt Liu arrived yet?" "Presidt Liu''s business has be growing bigger and bigger, he''s ev moved up to a Mercedes-Bz S-ss." "Don''t worry, he should be here soon." "Presidt Gu, I heard that an 8-year-old boy in your daughter''s ss confessed his affection for you, is that true?" Rao Shi Yun chimed in, "Of course it''s true. Our beautiful Gu''s charm is only increasing. At 4, she can still attract 8-year-old boys! Old Zhang, you''re finished, thepetition is just getting fiercer." Ev though Gu Wanzhou was already 4, she was indeed very beautiful. Like Rao Shi Yun, she had many admirers ev in her middle age. Some of them were ev willing to give up their currt families just to be with her. After all, it''s not easy to find such a stunning mature woman. Zhang Hongbin just smiled. "The kid doesn''t know any better, Presidt Gu, don''t take it to heart." "Everyone has a bit of a teage fantasy wh they''re young, once his thusiasm wanes, it''ll be nothing." Liu Zifg sat down and poured himself a ss of Sprite. "I think that Li Zhiyan is just a pervert, a loser, he''s got an infatuation and that''s why he confessed to Aunt Gu." "Utterly worthless." Young people td to talk impulsively and without restraint. "Zifg, you can''t talk about your ssmate like that!" After being scolded by Rao Shi Yun, Liu Zifg immediately shut up. In his heart, he was still quite afraid of his beautiful mother, owing to the authority she had established since his childhood. "Actually, maybe everyone has their own fantasies wh they''re young, but there really ar''t many who would like an older woman and ev take the initiative to confess, that does take some courage." Yu Sisi felt ufortable upon hearing this. Now, every time she heard anything about Li Zhiyan, she would think of him confessing his feelings to her mother. Gu Wanzhou didn''t say anything; her impression of Li Zhiyan had already deteriorated significantly, she was certain this boy just wanted to sleep with her. Today''s despicable tactics really made it impossible for her to like Li Zhiyan. Although, deep down, she still felt pity for Li Zhiyan. ... Outside the door, the weather was hot. Li Zhiyan had waited a long time and still hadn''t se Liu Yane. "Is Presidt Liuing or not? My fifty thousand." The day was gradually darking, but ev in the eving of July, the heat was somewhat unbearable. After waiting another fifte minutes or so, Li Zhiyan was getting impatit. He suspected there might be a back door, and if Presidt Liu had gone to private room 999 through it, he would really be at a loss. Th, he took the elevator directly to the third floor, room 999. Wh he pushed the door op, the expressions on the faces of the people in the room looking at Li Zhiyan were somewhat strange. Most of them didn''t know Li Zhiyan. Gu Wanzhou''s look at Li Zhiyan was already tinged with disgust; indeed, this kid hade for her. And to think he did some project,puter programming, what could an 8-year-old high school studt know aboutputer programming? "How did you get here..." Just as Liu Zifg was about to sd Li Zhiyan away, he was tapped on the shoulder by Rao Shi Yun. Startled, he immediately closed his mouth. "The person I''m waiting for hasn''t arrived, so I came to see if Presidt Liu was here." Gu Wanzhou''s expression grew increasingly unpleasant; this kid really was too naive. Wh Zhang Hongbin saw Li Zhiyan, the wariness in his heart also vanished. If it was an unusually handsome young man, she might really have to consider whether Gu Wanzhou could restrain herself and not d up sleeping with him. But this young fellow could only be considered a bit good-looking, an ordinary person. There was nothing about him that could move Gu Wanzhou. "Alright, alright, it''s so hot, and it just happs to be dinner time, sit down and eat something." "Li Zhiyan." "There are quite a few empty seats here, you see who you want to sit with?" Rao Shi Yun said teasingly to the young man. She quite admired him, for after all, having the courage to confess to a ssmate''s mother in front of the tire ss was a first for him. Li Zhiyan didn''t speak, and sat down next to Gu Wanzhou. "I want to sit with Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan wasn''t being prettious either; he didn''t know the other people. As for Liu Zifg, they were at odds, practically emies. Not to mtion Yu Sisi. "Haha, I knew it, you kid, still want to sit with your favorite aunt. Have a good chat with your aunt and try to win her over as soon as possible. Such a great figure, always without a partner, is such a waste." Zhang Hongbin''s face looked a bit displeased; this woman and he were quite familiar with each other, but she had never helped him like this. But th he thought about how he was a man in his forties, and surely he couldn''t be petty with a child. If he did, th maybe Gu Wanzhou would really look down on him. After Li Zhiyan sat down beside her, Gu Wanzhou felt an unwillingness to talk to Li Zhiyan. This must be his ultimate goal, taking the opportunity to get close to her, childish, wasn''t it? "Aunt Gu, what a coincidce today, I didn''t expect to run into you while I was here to collect money." Li Zhiyan was indeed a bit hungry, he picked up a pair of new chopsticks and ate a few bites. The more he looked at Liu Zifg''s mother, the more beautiful she seemed, that kind of voluptuous figure was absolutely what true connoisseurs dream of. In his past life, how had he not noticed that his ssmates'' mothers were all so beautiful? "Yeah, quite a coincidce." Gu Wanzhou felt that she could delete Li Zhiyan''s QQ now, this kid was really not simple at all. Hearing Gu Wanzhou''s somewhat indiffert voice, Li Zhiyan felt inexplicably sad. Did Aunt Gu start to dislike him? His expression did not escape Gu Wanzhou''s eyes, but her heart felt ev more annoyed. This kid, always pretding to be pitiful, ying such childish tricks, wasn''t it just to vt his hormones on her? What he has in mind is a little too much for his expectations. At that momt, Liu Yan walked in from outside. Everyone greeted him thusiastically, "Boss Liu! You''re finally here, we''ve be waiting for you for so long!" "Boss Liu, is that your S-ss downstairs? It''s way cooler than our 56E, clearly longer by a stretch." Liu Yan greeted everyone with a smile as well. Th he said to Li Zhiyan, "Young man, here''s your fifty thousand yuan, take it." Liu Yan took out two thick velopes. Inside were crammed full of hundred-yuan bills. This left Li Zhiyan somewhat speechless; ev in the year 0, cash was particrly popr. He had all his online banking sorted out, yet he was giv fifty thousand in cash. Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at Liu Yan with some surprise. "Boss Liu, do you know this young man?" "Of course, I don''t mind telling you all, this young man named Li Zhiyan, though he''s young at 8, is a guine prodigy." "If it wer''t for him, mypany would have be in big trouble." Chapter 11: Rao Shiyuns Intimacy and the Guilty Gu Wanzhou Liu Yan was quite old, already 50 years old. At this momt, looking at Li Zhiyan, his eyes were also full of admiration. It was rare to see a young person who understoodputers, especially one who was only 8 years old. "Presidt Liu, what''s going on here?" "You''re the boss of such a bigpany, and this 8-year-old kid can help you?" At this time, Rao Shi Yun had a huge question mark in her heart. What could an 8-year-old kid like Li Zhiyan possibly think of that would amount to a pony pulling a heavyweight, and he could help Liu Yan solve thepany''s problems? All eyes were on Li Zhiyan. Being watched by everyone, Li Zhiyan really wasn''t used to it, giv that his ordinarily mediocre self was easily overlooked. Except for confessing to Yu Sisi, which made him the butt of jokes among his ssmates for many years. Otherwise, he was practically invisible in his life. Fortunately, there was the system. Although it was a Salted Fish System, it still gave him the ability to turn things a. At the same time, it also allowed him the possibility to be with these mature wom. Pulling a heavyweight, he was truly looking forward to it. ... Gu Wanzhou was slightly stunned, feeling that she might have misjudged Li Zhiyan. Liu Yan was a very serious and earnest person; he certainly wouldn''t joke about this. So, what Li Zhiyan had said about working on a project was true. But she had thought he had learned of her whereabouts through despicable means and deliberately pretded to have a connection with her. Th, Gu Wanzhou thought of the look of disappointmt on Li Zhiyan''s face just now. It must have be because of her cold attitude that he felt so dejected and sad. Yet she had thought he was feigning pity. Thinking of Li Zhiyan from a single-part family being misunderstood by her here, Gu Wanzhou felt a sour feeling in her heart, an involuntary sse of sadness rising within her. What had she done? The kid had always be so pitiful and sincere. But she had suspected him of being maniptive, only wanting to pull a heavy cart with a small horse. She really owed him an apology. ... Presidt Liu spoke with admiration, "Although it sounds a bit unbelievable wh said out loud." "But it''s really true." "Mypany''s internal system stores a lot of data." "Normally, employees need to use the internal system for work, but some time ago, the system frequtly bugged out and became unusable. We contacted the original programmer, and he said the code was lost and could not be fixed." "We sought out many professionals, but nobody could fix the system." "If this continued, mypany would have faced serious issues." "Thankfully, I countered this young man." "In less than three days,puter problems that stumped everyone else were solved by him!" "How incredible is that? This 50,000 yuan is his reward." "I wish I had such an outstanding son." "Now that''s impressive, merely with this talt alone." "He could easily find a high-paying job in the future." Everyone''s atttion was once again focused on Li Zhiyan. Zhang Hongbin''s expression turned unnatural, being able to make 50,000 yuan at 8 and solving problems that stumped many professionals. In some ways, this kid was a gius. He might really be able to win over Gu Wanzhou one day. Although Gu Wanzhou had high standards, this kid still had the advantage of youth, and with talt added to that, it was not a certainty. "Kid, Auntie really didn''t expect you to be aputer gius!" Rao Shi Yun had always be joking with Li Zhiyan before. But this time, she truly scrutinized the young kid before her eyes. He was really impressive! At just 8, he could earn fifty thousand yuan, th take a look at her own son, Liu Zifg. Because they were well off, he only thought about scraping together some pocket money to spd at nightclubs and KTVs. As forputers? He only knew how to y games on it, not ev capable of using Excel. Not to mtion solving difficult issues for someone''spany. Indeed,paring oneself with others could certainly be infuriating, andparing goods could make yours seem ready for the trash. The gap was just too big. How great it would be if she had a son as outstanding as Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan sat beside Gu Wanzhou, and he clearly felt Gu Wanzhou''s gaze soft a lot wh looking at him. Yu Sisi''s hands were clched tightly, a tinge of regret appearing in her heart. Although Li Zhiyan was average in both looks and stature. He had talt! At 8, he could do such advancedputer programming, his future might be limitless. But now, her rtionship with Li Zhiyan hadpletely soured, with basically no chance of mding it. ... Afterward, Rao Shi Yun took a seat in front of Li Zhiyan. She took the initiative to grab Li Zhiyan''s hand. Feeling the slick touch, and realizing it was Liu Zifg''s own mother, Li Zhiyan expericed an inexplicable sse of vgeful satisfaction. "Kid, tell Auntie," "how did you learn yourputer skills? Did you pay for sses?" Liu Zifg saw his own mother being so close to Li Zhiyan and felt extremely ufortable. This feeling was as if his own mother''s love had be stol by Li Zhiyan. And the key point was that this person was also his love rival, an emy with whom he had fought. But because of his fear of his mother, he didn''t dare to say anything, only turning his head away, unable to bear watching his own mother being affectionate with Li Zhiyan. As Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan''s hand, guilt-ridd Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat difited in her heart. This woman, why is she being so flirty, doesn''t she know the differce betwe m and wom? Though she was 4 years older than Li Zhiyan, it was still feasible for a small horse to pull a big cart. Thinking about it, Gu Wanzhou''s face heated up again. Ever since thest time she talked with Li Zhiyan about Oedipus, and he invted the term "a small horse pulling a big cart," he would recall certain images whever he saw her. However, she really needed to get closer to this kid. Being from a single-part family, hecked a portion of love. He was already pitiable, and to be misunderstood and aliated by himself, he must be very sad in her heart. "No, we are poor and couldn''t afford sses. Auntie Rao, I taught myselfputer programming wh I had free time, because I''m quite interested in it," "Coincidtally, I saw online that Presidt Liu''spany had a difficulty, so I gave it a try, and unexpectedly I solved it. It was just good luck." Li Zhiyan''s words made everyone prest get lost in thought again. Computer programming is something that college studts, despite being taught, are not necessarily good at. Li Zhiyan was self-taught and yet could solve those problems that ev professionals couldn''t resolve. He was a true gius! "Xiao Yan, you''re really amazing." Rao Shi Yun''s other hand alsonded on Li Zhiyan''s hand, closing itpletely. Looking at Rao Shi Yun''s bust in front of him, Li Zhiyan suddly remembered that it seemed he had be weaned many years ago. Chapter 12: 012 Rao Shi Yuns mind is so broad Looking at Rao Shi Yun, who was so close and holding his hand, Li Zhiyan suddly felt a desire to reminisce about his childhood. If he could just taste what his childhood was like... Th, he inwardly cursed himself for having such dirty thoughts. It seemed that hormones were truly the fundamtal force determining one''s libidinous nature. Returning to the age of 8, wh his ergy and vigor were at their peak, his thoughts were also more easily swayed by hormones. But thinking about it, this was also a form of happiness. Rao Shi Yun''s hand was so smooth and supple; once she took hold of it, Li Zhiyan found it hard to let go. And Auntie Rao really was exceptionally beautiful. Especially those voluptuous legs, which made Li Zhiyan struggle to control his thoughts. Liu Zifg, listing to his own mother''s praise for Li Zhiyan, whom he despised the most, felt a sourness in his heart, and he really wanted to fight Li Zhiyan. But in the d, he could only helplessly dure it. Alongside them, Rao Shi Yun''s best frid Li Meifg also smiled and said, "It seems our great beauty Rao really appreciates this kid." "You two should have a good chat tonight." After that, Rao Shi Yun kept happily chatting with Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan always felt that Liu Zifg''s mother''s way of talking was a bit flirty, but he could tell that Rao Shi Yun was only flirty on the surface and spoke quite casually. But if anyone really said something inappropriate to her or harbored inappropriate thoughts, She would surely turn hostile. Li Zhiyan also realized that it wasn''t that he liked mature wom, but rather, he liked beautiful mature wom. For someone like Li Meifg with average looks, he couldn''t be bothered to make a move. However, Aunt Gu or Auntie Rao truly stirred his heart. And so, Rao Shi Yun held onto Li Zhiyan''s hand and chatted for a good half-hour. Gu Wanzhou felt an unpleasant ssation in her heart, a sourness. How could this woman get so close to Xiao Yan, wh Gu Wanzhou had known Li Zhiyan first, yet she was chatting so joyfully with him? Although she had never considered having a deeper rtionship with Xiao Yan, At this momt, her feminine instincts made her feel a pang of jealousy. ... A whileter, everyone gradually left the Xinyuan Grand Hotel. Yu Sisi was in a bad mood. Li Zhiyan''s ability to earn fifty thousand yuan at just 8 made her feel as if she had misjudged him. So she returned to the car first. Whereas, upon reaching the hotel trance, Rao Shi Yun was still chatting with Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, let''s add each other on QQ, so if your aunt has anyputer issues, I can ask you," she said. In the eyes of adults, young people who can change scre resolutions are like hackers. And to someone like Li Zhiyan, who could solve so many issues that ev professionals couldn''t, he seemed ev more impressive to Rao Shi Yun. She had a particrly good impression of this child. Li Meifg, seeing no one else a, teased, "You like Li Zhiyan so much, why not take him as your godson? Li Zhiyan, do you like your pottial godmother?" "If you recognize her as your godmother, she can feed you, and you''ll never go hungry again." "Look at her figure, it''s so good." Ev if Rao Shi Yun was rather bold in her speech, She was tak aback at this momt; Li Meifg was the truly bold one. "Stop it," Rao Shi Yun protested. "Don''t spout nonsse, Xiao Yan, don''t mind her; she''s always like this," she said. While speaking, Rao Shi Yun and Li Zhiyan added each other on QQ. Liu Zifg, watching from a distance, was grinding his teeth with vy. His mother was a sanctified goddess-like figure in his heart, yet today this guy had touched her hands all over, and now they were exchanging QQ contacts. What did Li Zhiyan want to do! However, he didn''t dare to interfere. His mother was gtle with others, but she was extremely strict with him. Unconcerned, Li Meifgughed and said, "Ha ha." "I think having a godmother is not bad at all. Look at her figure, with a godmother like that, you''d surely never go hungry." "Li Zhiyan, tell me, don''t you want to ept her as your godmother?" Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but look over, perhaps because he had fully embraced the mindset of an 8-year-old, He felt his face bing slightly hot. At that momt, Rao Shi Yun herself felt tempted; after chatting for so long with Li Zhiyan, she guinely admired this kid from a single-part family. The child was clearly in need of love, pitiable and dearing, and it made her maternal instincts overflow. Most crucially, this child grew up in such a family, not only avoiding self-degradation but also self-learningputer programming and achieving quite an aplishmt, making him truly the quintesstial child from someone else''s family. Having such a godson would actually be nice, she thought. "Xiao Yan, do you want to recognize me as your godmother?" Rao Shiyun joked as she stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. Li Zhiyan thought about it but still didn''t agree. Having such a rich godmother indeed meant he wouldn''t go hungry. But many problems would arise in the future. After all, having a godmother was as good as not having one. "Let''s forget it, Auntie Rao, it''s ough for me to think of you as my mother in my heart." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s words, Rao Shiyun''s heart couldn''t help but feel a bit sour; she stepped forward and gtly hugged Li Zhiyan. "Good boy." Li Zhiyan also felt how broad Auntie Rao''s bosom was, truly befitting of a prime mature woman at 4. "Auntie has to go now, stay in touch wh you''re free," she said. Although she had not known Li Zhiyan for very long, Rao Shiyun really admired this poor boy who was self-reliant and resilit. "Goodbye, Auntie." Liu Zifg was already grinding his teeth. His mother had actually hugged Li Zhiyan, letting the kid take advantage. This was a ssmate with whom he had a feud! And now... After watching Rao Shiyun''s Audi A6 drive away, Li Zhiyan heard Gu Wanzhou''s voice. "Li Zhiyan." "Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan turned a and looked at Gu Wanzhou. He felt that Aunt Gu''s bosom wasn''t as wide as Rao Shiyun''s. However, her cool demeanor really had a unique charm. And the true breadth of one''s mind can''t necessarily be judged from appearances. "Sweet boy," she said. "If you''re free,e over to my house to y; I''ll cook for you." Although she had never intded to have a kid like Li Zhiyan pull the cart for her, the misunderstanding earlier had left Gu Wanzhou feeling quite guilty towards Li Zhiyan. What a simple and ambitious child, who must have devoted so much effort to learn programming skills, solving the problems for Liu Yan''spany. It probably cost him a great effort, maybe ev countless sleepless nights. But she had misunderstood him for using despicable means to find her whereabouts and pretded to have a destiny with her, all to sleep with her. Yet he had onlye for his money, nothing more, and not only did she show him a cold face afterwards, but she also thought of him as that kind of person. As a child deprived of love, his heart must have be hurting, right? "Really, Aunt Gu, you don''t dislike me anymore?" Li Zhiyan gtly took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. This was his first physical contact with Yu Sisi''s real mother. Gu Wanzhou''s heart sank. Indeed, childr without backing are the most ssitive; he had ssed her emotions from earlier. Feeling a bit sympathetic, Gu Wanzhou touched Li Zhiyan''s face. "Don''t worry, if you want to talk to Auntie, just contact me anytime." "Thank you for being so good to me, Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan spontaneously hugged Gu Wanzhou and th quickly let go. He realized that Gu Wanzhou was really very reserved; indeed, not everything is as it appears on the surface. Gu Wanzhou thought about Rao Shiyun hugging Li Zhiyan. A hint of jealousy sprang up in her heart. How could that woman be so flirtatious, taking the initiative to hug a young boy. Perhaps she was considering the proverbial ''cougar''s whim''. It wasn''t impossible. Now that Li Zhiyan had hugged her, it made her feel a lot more bnced. However, at the same time, she felt ev guiltier. At that momt, the system suddly issued another mission. "Gu Wanzhou invites you to her house." "Please go to her house for dinner tomorrow, and give her a massage on her shoulders, neck, and thighs to relieve neck pain." "Mission reward: 0,000 yuan in cash." "Note: While learning massage techniques, once learned, your massage skills will significantly relieve pain." Li Zhiyan''s heartbeat quicked. I''m sorry, system, I won''t call you weak again! Just this one massage technique could relieve pain. If he oped a massage parlor in the future, he would surely make a fortune! "Aunt Gu, I would like toe to your house tomorrow, is that okay?" Chapter 13: 013 My son earned fifty thousand yuan at 18! At this momt, Gu Wanzhou was visibly surprised; she hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to be so eager to visit her home. Could it be he was here to pull a rickshaw? Soon, Gu Wanzhou cast aside her dirty thoughts. She couldn''t misunderstand this child anymore; he really had it tough ough already. "Okay, we''ll contact each other via QQ tomorrow, Aunt Gu will buy groceries and make you something delicious, and we can have a good chat, just the two of us," she said. Being Li Zhiyan''s girlfrid was out of the question, so Gu Wanzhou deliberately emphasized that she and Li Zhiyan were like mother and son. How could Li Zhiyan not understand what Gu Wanzhou was implying? But he just acted as if he hadn''t heard. "Goodbye, Aunt Gu." After watching Gu Wanzhou leave, Li Zhiyan, with a bag containing fifty thousand yuan, also departed. At this point, he was somewhat curious; if Gu Wanzhou''s neck was hurting, why did he still have to help her massage her thighs? Was this System really proper? "Don''t think too much about it. Better to focus onpleting the tasks. Twty thousand is really not a small amount of money," he thought. It was the peak of summer, and the winds of July were hot. However, Li Zhiyan''s steps on his way home were very light. He wasn''t one of those corporate executives or big bosses who had be reborn. They could use their extsive experice to make big money, but as an utterly ordinary person, having a system, ev a Salted Fish System, that allowed him to earn money just bypleting tasks, was absolutely perfect. "Let''s set a small goal for now, be a millionaire first!" he said to himself. "But first, give the money to Mom." Li Zhiyan was well aware of how much his mother loved him. Ev if it meant she wouldn''t go to the Magic Capital because he couldn''t bear to see her leave, she would definitely find ways to work overtime and make money. At only 4, Li Zhiyan didn''t want her to age so quickly. In this life, he was determined to take good care of his mother so that she could live hertter years worry-free. ... As soon as he reached the doorstep, Li Zhiyan joyfully called out for his mother. "Mom!" The feeling of having a mother to call out to whing home was truly wonderful. "Okay, okay, don''t shout so loudly," she retorted. "I''m here." After closing the door, Li Zhiyan looked at the high heels his mother had purchased from a street stall by the door and changed into his slippers. Once he had money, he would buy her several pairs of the finest high heels. "Mom, I''ve brought you a gift!" Hearing her son had bought her a gift, Zhou Rongrong, who was washing dishes in the kitch, chastised him slightly, "What gift? It''s a waste of money. We need to save up to buy you a house, don''t keep wasting money." Though she said this, the fact that her son was thinking of her still gave Zhou Rongrong a sweet feeling in her heart. The child was really differt from before, obviously paying more and more atttion to her. "No, Mom, the gift I have for you is very special," Li Zhiyan replied. "I earned it through my own hard work." Li Zhiyan siltly thanked his Salted Fish System again. Without it, he could never have attracted so much atttion in his life. "What gift?" "You''ve be doing a part-time job." Looking at the ck bag in her son''s hand, she was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that her son had tak a part-time job? She took the bag and said with concern, "You don''t need to get a part-time job." "Just focus on your studies and do well in your college, learning all the professional knowledge in school." "As for the matter of money, you really don''t need to worry about it." After oping the bag, Zhou Rongrong was stunned on the spot. It was money! Five stacks of neatly bundled hundred-yuan bills, a total of fifty thousand. After a while, wh Zhou Rongrong came back to her sses, she wt to the window, closed it, and whispered, "Son, tell me the truth, did you steal someone else''s money?" In 0, the purchasing power of fifty thousand yuan was substantial, a truly huge sum, and ev in 04, it was more than what many people could afford. At least, most people really couldn''te up with fifty thousand yuan. So at this momt, wh her son suddly took out fifty thousand yuan, Zhou Rongrong''s first thought was... Her son must havemitted a crime! "No, Mom, you don''t have to be so scared. I taught myself someputer programming and helped a boss solve a problem in hispany." "So he gave me a reward of fifty thousand yuan." "It wasn''t obtained by breaking thew." "You know me, I''m a good kid, where would I get the guts to steal money?" Zhou Rongrong thought for a momt and felt that Li Zhiyan indeed wasn''t lying; he really didn''t have the guts to steal someone else''s money. "But wh did you have the time to learnputer programming? I never see you using theputer at home." "Mom, I learned it by myself wh I was at the inte cafe." Zhou Rongrong looked at her precious son, her eyes showing a hint of surprise. It turned out that her own mischievous boy was so talted, self-taught in programming, and had ev earned fifty thousand yuan. She really felt proud as a mother. Later, after confirming several times with Li Zhiyan... She was certain that her son had indeed earned fifty thousand yuan throughputer programming, and he was only 8 years old. "Son, you are amazing, I am so proud of you," she said. An excited Zhou Rongrong hugged Li Zhiyan and kissed him on the face. As a mama''s boy, Li Zhiyan was immersed in this warm mother-son stimt, wishing time could stay like this forever. "I''ll save these forty thousand for you, to prepare for your future marriage." "Take this t thousand and spd it sparingly." Li Zhiyan took the t thousand yuan, curiously asking, "Mom, are you reallyfortable trusting me with so much money?" "My son has grown up!" Zhou Rongrong pinched Li Zhiyan''s face, her beautiful face filled with pride. "So, I trust you can handle this t thousand yuan well, and you''re also of age now. If you want to start dating or anything, you''ll need the money." "Hm..." Li Zhiyan took the money, aware that he couldn''t give his mother any more money for the time being. Otherwise, it could really terrify her. "By the way, Mom, I can cover my college living expses with the money I earn from programming in the future, and I''ll be able to save some too." "You don''t have to think about going to the Magic Capital for work anymore. I really can''t bear to part with you." Having se her son earn fifty thousand yuan, Zhou Rongrong hadpletely dismissed the idea of going to the Magic Capital. If her son couldn''t bear to part with her, how could she bear to be away from her son? He was her only blood and kin in this world. "Don''t worry, I won''t go to the Magic Capital," she reassured. "Not only should you not go to the Magic Capital, but you shouldn''t overwork either. Just keep your regr job. From now on, I''ll sd you money every month on time," he said. Zhou Rongrong was somewhat stunned; truly, there''s a special connection betwe mother and child. Her son had guessed exactly what was on her mind! Chapter 14: 014 Gu Wanzhou wants to be a godmother "Don''t worry, Mom won''t be doing any more overtime. I''ll spd more time with you." As she stroked her son''s head, Zhou Rongrong''s heart was a jumble of emotions. Her child had really grown up. It seemed that he might be someone she could rely on. "Okay, Mom, pinky swear!" Watching her son, who was bing more and more childlike, Zhou Rongrong also made a pinky promise with Li Zhiyan. ¡­ That night, only after watching an episode of Love Apartmt did Li Zhiyan fall into a deep sleep. Holding t thousand yuan, he slept very soundly. The whirring sound of the small fan in the rtal room also added a sse of security for him. The next day, the first thing Li Zhiyan thought of wh he woke up waspleting tasks and Gu Wanzhou''s fair and beautiful legs. Today, he was going to help Aunt Gu with a leg massage. Spit, it was supposed to be a neck massage; what was he ev thinking about? However, he seemed to have dreamt about something like ponies and carts the night before. Wh he oped the door, Li Zhiyan saw Wu Qingxian, who almost became his godmother, his mother''s best frid. "Good morning, Auntie Wu." Wu Qingxian looked at Li Zhiyan with a gaze full of admiration, as she came to join Zhou Rongrong on their way to work. She didn''t expect to hear that Zhou Rongrong was nning to deposit forty thousand yuan, telling her that it was earned by her son through programming. This instantly made Wu Qingxian think of her own son. Why couldn''t she have a son as outstanding as Li Zhiyan? "Little mommy''s boy, I really didn''t notice that you had this skill." Following that, Auntie Wu showered Li Zhiyan with a bunch ofplimts. Being able to earn forty thousand yuan at the age of 8 was indeed impressive. After his mom and Wu Qingxian left, Li Zhiyan also finished breakfast, tidied up a bit, th wt back to his room and took out two thousand from his t thousand yuan. The remaining eight thousand were stuffed into the very bottom of a cardboard box that was used for misceneous items. Inside the box, there were many treasures hidd. Including marbles, toy guns, slingshots, and the like from his childhood. "Online banking is still not so convit." "Paymt methods still mainly revolve a cash, two thousand yuan is ough for me to spd for quite a while." With two thousand yuan in his pocket, Li Zhiyan left the house, nning to struggle towards his goal of bing a millionaire. ¡­ Wh he arrived at the inte cafe, sure ough, there was Li Shiyu, that loser, ying CrossFire. At that momt, he was grossed in ying the game underg. Soon ough, he was forced to quit the game. "Damn!" "Kicked out again!" Li Zhiyan carelessly pped a hundred-yuan bill in front of him. "Go get yourself a membership, otherwise, if you keep exploiting bugs like this, you''re gonna get kicked out every day." Li Shiyu was clearly surprised. "Li Zhiyan, did you really rob a bank or something? How did you get so rich? I really feel bad taking your money!" Li Zhiyan shed a stack of red bills from his pocket. "Rx, I''ve made some money rectly. I didn''t steal or rob, just pay me back wh you have the money." Li Zhiyan didn''t actually n on having Bath Emperor pay him back. What he really wanted was for Li Shiyu to feel at ease spding his money. A buddy who would go hungry himself but still buy him a coke, and wh pniless, would sell his car to ld him two hundred thousand. In this life, he was certainly going to give him a hand. "Alright th..." In the d, Li Shiyu couldn''t resist the temptation of a CF membership and wt to the counter to charge 30 Q Coin. Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan logged into his QQ on the side and st a message to Gu Wanzhou. "Aunt Gu, are you there?" Gu Wanzhou: "Yeah, Xiao Yan, juste over at noon." "Don''t worry, Sisi has gone to Wang Xinyue''s ce." Yu Sisi and Wang Xinyue got along very well, and they ev applied to neighboring universities. So, Yu Sisi oft wt to visit Wang Xinyue. Gu Wanzhou knew that her daughter and Li Zhiyan were like water and fire now. So this would also spare them some awkwardness. "Okay, Aunt Gu, I''ll be there at noon." Talking about everyday matters, Li Zhiyan suddly heard the System''s voice. "Massage skill learningplete." With this skill now avable, Li Zhiyan felt he really wouldn''t be poor in the future, thinking that ev if he specialized in giving massages to wealthy wom, he could be rich. Of course, it was still better to focus on the tasks from the Salted Fish System, because ording to the system''s hints, notpleting tasks would lower the chances of refreshing new taskster on. While chatting, Li Shiyu also noticed the chat window that Li Zhiyan was using. "Damn, you''re really chatting with Yu Sisi''s mom, and it''s such a lively conversation. Don''t tell me you''ve conquered her!" "How does it feel with a mature woman? Is it differt from a young girl?" "Thinking about her being 3 years older than you, isn''t it thrilling?" "This is truly the best revge on Yu Sisi!" "You ignore me, so I''ll conquer your mom!" "Just imagine if Yu Sisi could hear this from next door, tsk tsk¡­" Hearing Li Shiyu''s dless chatter, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless. He was indeed the Bath Emperor; his imagination was truly rich. "Alright, stop guessing. I have to go in a bit." "Tonight, I''ll take you to a bathhouse to rx properly," "and spd some money." Li Zhiyan couldn''t just stand by and watch as his brother once again got strung along by Wang Xinyue. He had to awak his Bath Emperor Martial Soul True Body ahead of time. That way, he wouldn''t d up being apdog again, ev if you beat him to death. Li Shiyu didn''t take it seriously. "It''s just a bath. At most you add some milk, put some salt, and get a back massage. Boring." Li Zhiyan: "Cut the crap ande grind with me in the dungeon for a bit." "I want to level up an Asura." Li Shiyu didn''t waste words and logged in directly. "Perfect, my alt wants to run a DNF . Let''s team up." ... At elev-thirty, Li Zhiyan took a taxi to Yu Sisi''s home. Themercial housing that Yu Sisi''s family had bought in rect years was 40 square meters. In a ce like Wanchg, this area was already considered a high-d district. In years, those who could drive a Mercedes were guinely wealthy people. "Aunt Gu!" After knocking on the door, Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face quickly appeared in Li Zhiyan''s line of sight. Today she was wearing a ck shirt paired with a ck pleated skirt. Beath the short skirt, her bare, snow- legs were particrly eye-catching. Thinking about how he was going to help Aunt Gu massage her legs, Li Zhiyan felt an unruly itch in his heart. "Good boy, you''re here." "Sit down. Your auntie is cooking for you." Gu Wanzhou decided to talk seriously with Li Zhiyan today about the Oedipusplex. To tell him that it was impossible for them to be together. However, if Li Zhiyan was willing to acknowledge her as an elder, she wouldn''t mind being his godmother. But she couldn''t date him. A youngster pulling arge cart was too absurd, too childish. As long as there was a trace of sobriety in her heart, she wouldn''t let Li Zhiyan pull her along. "Aunt Gu, let me help you." Li Zhiyan also followed her into the kitch, which made Gu Wanzhou''s heart ache a little¡ªchildr from poor families had to take charge early in life. Because of poverty, they had to understand everything. Like her own daughter, who at 8 years old, had never set foot in the kitch. "Li Zhiyan, would you like to be my god... " Gu Wanzhou was about to ask Li Zhiyan if he would recognize her as his godmother wh a phone call came in. She chatted for a few stces after answering the call with some irritation before hanging up. "What''s wrong, Aunt Gu?" Li Zhiyan asked with some confusion. "It''s nothing. It''s just that your auntie has some extra cash. I looked a rectly and thought about buying a house," "But after thinking about it, if I paid the down paymt, I''d only have a few hundred thousand in cash left, so I put it on hold." "Lately, real estate salespeople have be calling me oft, and it''s getting on my nerves." Li Zhiyan thought for a while and advised, "Aunt Gu, actually, I think you should buy the house." "Because it''s a good opportunity to make money." Gu Wanzhou was kind to him in his past and prest life. And he also wanted to take advantage of her. Telling her this minor effort was no big deal. "Why, sweetheart?" "Because house prices will continue to surge. There might ev be a small increase in the next few months," Li Zhiyan paused, th added, "I''m guessing." Gu Wanzhou looked at Li Zhiyan somewhat surprised. This kid, he knew about real estate? "You''re guessing?" "Yes, since the 007 subprime mortgage crisis in America swept across the globe," "the whole world has be forced to foot the bill for America. Ev Lehman Brothers, one of America''s five major investmt banks with a history of 78 years, copsed in this disaster." "The country also increased arge amount of currcy, and this money has flooded into the market," "leading to rapid intion in real estate. However, I think that the rate of this intion is far from over." Li Zhiyan hadn''t paid atttion to these matters before, but after being reborn, he caught up on a lot of knowledge. Leveraging his foresight into the future''s geral direction, he could infer many things. Anyway, buying a house now would definitely be a windfall. Gtly setting down the bowl she was holding, Gu Wanzhou looked at the boy beside her incredulously. How did he know so much! She had never ev heard these terms before; a string of words left Gu Wanzhou somewhat bewildered. "Sweetheart, what are ''the big five investmt banks''?" "And the subprime mortgage crisis, what does that mean?" At that momt, Gu Wanzhou deeply felt her own ignorance. Chapter 15: 015 This kid, so talented ``` Gu Wanzhou, though a businesswoman, found herself frequtly snared in an echo chamber of information. At this momt, after hearing what Li Zhiyan had to say, she couldn''t help but feel ignorant. She was also somewhat shak by it. It seemed that this child knew a great deal. As Li Zhiyan helped Gu Wanzhou with picking vegetables, he spoke, "The Big Five investmt banks in America refer to private investmt banks, namely Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns." "If Aunt Gu finds investmt banking a bit unfamiliar," "you might be aware of HSBC on Hong Kong Ind, where they offer domestic deposit interest rates at t perct." "These banks were once at the height of their glory in America." "Their economic domains had extded into every aspect of the lives of ordinary Americans." "However, under the global financial tsunami triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis," "within less than a year, most financial institutions couldn''t hold out." "Among them, Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America in 008." "Lehman Brothers has already copsed." "The fate of Bear Stearns was not much better, disappearing into history that same year, 008." "Now, the only super investmt banks left are esstially Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley." Li Zhiyan was somewhat impressed with himself for remembering these things so clearly; he thought that it might be rted to his hanced memory aftering back to life. "Auntie understands now¡­" "These super investmt banks are private banks, and they use the bank''s money to make various investmts to make money." "But they copsed under the subprime crisis." "However, does this have anything to do with the rise in house prices?" Gu Wanzhou found herself growing fonder of Li Zhiyan by the momt and inwardly regretted that he wasn''t her own son. What a talted and outstanding young man. "Subprime dotes loans that are of inferior credit quality," "meaning ''subprime'' rtes to low credit and weak ability to repay debts." "This is simr to the credit scoring system in our country where people without stable jobs are tagged with a low credit rating." "Those people are basically impossible to ld to by banks." Seeing the awe in Gu Wanzhou''s eyes, Li Zhiyan continued, "In America, loans are a verymon urrce because everyone likes to consume beyond their means." "For something as expsive as a house," "it is normally bought through long-term loans." Gu Wanzhou nodded lightly, looking at the child before her; she felt as if Li Zhiyan was a teacher imparting knowledge to her. "However, with a high unemploymt rate in America, these unstable earners are defined as subprime borrowers," "also known as subprime loan recipits." "Regr banks are reluctant to extd credit to these people," "fearing they won''t be able to pay back, thus giving rise to subprime mortgage lding." "Since banks are unwilling to loan to these individuals, private banks offer loans by charging high interest rates." "The returns from the subprime mortgage market are several times higher than the bank''s loan interest rates." "In this respect, it''s somewhat simr to HSBC." Gu Wanzhou recalled that she too had sought loans from HSBC in the past. The interest was as much as thirty perct a year, esstially usury. "Due to the quick rise in house prices," "many American stimulus loan recipits just follow the trd," "borrowing money to buy houses." ``` "Before 006, America''s real estate was in a state of continuous boom," "and at that time, interest rates were particrly low." "As a result, the subprime mortgage market was rapidly developing." "However, America''s stimulus for the mortgage market used abination of fixed and adjustable rates." "The interest rates for the initial years of repaymt were fixed at a low rate." "Yearster, the loan interest was repaid based on changes in the interest rate." "After 006, as America''s real estate market cooled and adjustable rates increased," "the repaymt rates for subprime loans also rose significantly." "Many of these subprime borrowers were economically weak to begin with, and under these circumstances, hordes of homebuyers couldn''t afford their loans." "So they had no choice but to default." "After the banks took back the houses, they found no buyers, leading to a vicious cycle." "A financial crisis began in 007 and totally exploded in 008." "The American governmt had no choice but to print money without limit to save the market." "And due to the Bretton Woods system established after World War II, America pushed all this newly printed money to the tire world." "Making people all over the world pay for America''s actions." Actually, Li Zhiyan didn''t understand either. But, knowing future trds, he could be considered a prophet, so whatever he said was right." Li Zhiyan discussed the financial crisis with an air of nonchnce. My heartbeat inexplicably quicked. How does this kid know everything? Wh he talks about these things, he inexplicably looks a bit handsome. Talted m are indeed attractive. "So, under America''s unrestrained money printing in 008," "we also expericed a significant flood of liquidity." "After this money tered the market," "it didn''t flow into other industries but was locked into real estate instead." "Only in this way could they sure that prices wouldn''t skyrocket." "Real estate is our reservoir." "It sures that the newly issued currcy doesn''t circte in the market." Li Zhiyan didn''t quite understand these things, so he wt on to talk nonsse. As long as the oue was right, that was all that mattered. Gu Wanzhou listed from the side, somewhat confused, but she waspletely convinced by Li Zhiyan. This kid could self-learnputer programming at 8. He really was differt from ordinary people! "So, for many years toe, I predict that housing prices will continue to rise." "If you buy a house now, with a down paymt, you can make a lot of money in the future." Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of me, still helping with the vegetables, I felt my heartbeat quick ev more. My hormones seemed to start flowing. Is this the feeling of being smitt? Thinking back to Li Zhiyan''s long speech, my heart just couldn''t settle down. "Little Darling, Auntie really didn''t expect you to know so much." "What you said earlier makes a lot of sse; I''ve decided to buy another house." After patting Li Zhiyan''s head, Gu Wanzhou continued, "Auntie wanted to ask you, would you be willing to be my godson?" "In the future, Auntie will cherish you just like a mother would." Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless. Howe after being reborn, both Yu Sisi''s real mom and Liu Zifg''s real mom wanted to be his mother; it was absurd. Chapter 16: 016 Snow-white beautiful legs, the fragrance of a mature woman However, I can''t be your godmother. Li Zhiyan clearly understood the principle that if he epted a godmother, he would really have no chance with her. Rao Shi Yun won''t do, nor will Gu Wanzhou. He still wanted to pull the carriage himself. Ever since he was reborn, Li Zhiyan''s heart had be itching unbearably. How could he possibly be willing to take on a godmother? That would be like adding an unnecessary shackle to himself. A little spice while pulling the carriage, perhaps, but to really recognize someone as kin, Li Zhiyan was definitely unwilling. "I don''t want to." Li Zhiyan decisively rejected the matter. "What''s wrong, Little Darling, do you think Auntie isn''t good ough?" "Or do you think Auntie isn''t pretty ough and embarrasses you wh out in public?" At this momt, Gu Wanzhou felt a bit of a headache; she had wanted to ept Li Zhiyan as a godson, so he wouldn''t have to think about all those messy things any longer. She was already 4 years old, and he was only 8. It was impossible for her to be with him. Although she was growing more and more appreciative of this young man, appreciation and romantic feelings betwe a man and a woman are not the same. Li Zhiyan nced at Gu Wanzhou''s chest, remembering their hug that one time. He was well aware of just how substantial Gu Wanzhou was. "You are indeed very beautiful, but what I want is for you to be my girlfrid." "Hav''t you said that you would give serious consideration to this matter?" "If I really became your godson, that would make us mother and son." "And a mother and son can''t be in a romantic rtionship." Li Zhiyan spoke very seriously, which made Gu Wanzhou a bit emotional¡ªthis situation had indeed be troublesome. To outright reject Li Zhiyan was something she really couldn''t bring herself to do. He was so knowledgeable and talted, one could only imagine how much effort he put in behind the sces. A child from a poor, single-part family, yet so sincere. Gu Wanzhou truly couldn''t bear to crush him. Yet his affection for her was something that simply could not be realized. "Little Darling, actually, it''s not that Auntie doesn''t like you." "On the contrary, Auntie likes you very much, which is why I invited you toe over for dinner." And so the topic of dating came up again. Gu Wanzhou felt that she might as well have a proper talk with this child. "However, this kind of like is the fondness an elder has for a younger person." "It''s not romantic affection betwe a man and a woman." "Your liking for the currt me is probably just a youthful fantasy." "At the age of 8, hormones are surging." Following this, Li Zhiyan spoke up: "So right now is the time wh my hormones are at their peak, and Auntie is also at the peak of her hormonal surge." "Isn''t that a perfect match th?" Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face blushed again. Indeed, the age of 40 is wh a woman''s physiological needs are strongest. And 8 is wh a man''s needs are at their peak. In a sse, what Li Zhiyan said was quite right. "Right now, perhaps there wouldn''t be a problem for the two of us to be together." "But what about in five years, or t years? Wh Auntie starts to get old, would you still like her?" "Ev if we were together, it''s doomed not to d well." "Wh we evtually part, it would cause deep hurt, whether for you or for Auntie." "You''re still young, but Auntie is already 4. I can''t be so irresponsible." "And besides, I really do see you as a son." While cooking, Gu Wanzhou hoped she could persuade Li Zhiyan to stop thinking about being together with her. If only she could take him as her godson, after chatting with Li Zhiyan before. Gu Wanzhou''s heart grew ev fonder of the child. "Auntie, actually, the most important thing in life isn''t the result." "But the process, because most of our time is spt within it." "No matter what the oue might be, that''s still very far away." "What we need to do is joy every day as ites." "Constantly thinking so far ahead actually makes life quite tiring." "Please give me a chance, let me take care of you." Li Zhiyan looked at Gu Wanzhou before him, feeling his hormones expanding continuously. This superb mature woman was really too beautiful, and she was also Yu Sisi''s mother. Thinking about it, he was determined to win over Gu Wanzhou. Suddly, Gu Wanzhou felt that she couldn''t win a logical argumt with this young kid. It seemed like there was nothing he didn''t understand, and for a momt, Gu Wanzhou also felt a sse of helplessness. She wanted to reject Li Zhiyan outright. But she couldn''t bear to hurt this honest child. "I''m 3 years older than you, I could be your mother." "Plus, I''ve be divorced and have a daughter who''s as old as you." Without the slightest retreat, Li Zhiyan said, "I''ve known all this for a long time, and besides, 40 is actually a very beautiful age." "Those young girls can''t evpare to you in my eyes." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s praise, Gu Wanzhou subconsciously felt her heart blossom with joy¡ªthis kid was really sweet-talking. "Whether it''s looks or figure, you have much more charm than those young girls." Looking at Gu Wanzhou''s ample chest. Li Zhiyan wanted to reminisce about his childhood. Although some young girls were pretty, they were t-chested, and in Li Zhiyan''s eyes, they all scored zero. He really didn''t for t chests. "You child..." "Auntie, think about it for a while longer." Gu Wanzhou felt that she couldn''t persuade Li Zhiyan. This kid had a counterargumt for every statemt she made. How could she convince him... It seemed she could only continue to give him the cold shoulder; perhaps once he wt to college, he might fall for a younger girl. In that case, he wouldn''t keep insisting on being with her all the time. Suddly, Gu Wanzhou remembered her best frid Rao Shi Yun. That voluptuous woman definitely had a strong liking for Li Zhiyan¡ªshe wouldn''t actively invite him to pull the cart, would she? In her mind, Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but vision Little Darling Li Zhiyan and the big cart, Rao Shi Yun. For some reason, Gu Wanzhou felt a sourness in her heart. "Ah..." All of a sudd, due to sitting for too long, her neck hurt again, causing Gu Wanzhou to let out a somewhat painful moan. Li Zhiyan knew that his opportunity to carry out the mission had arrived. He was very clear that such conditions were hard to cure and medicine didn''t have much in the way of solutions. But wh it hurt, it was truly ufortable. And he had to help massage not just Gu Wanzhou''s neck but also her thighs. Looking at the wless legs of Gu Wanzhou before him and smelling the fragrance of this supreme mature woman at 4. Li Zhiyan bt down slightly. Youthful dragons, after all, are hard to control by magicians. "Aunt Gu, is it your neck that hurts?" "Yes, it''s an old problem." "Actually, I can help you." Li Zhiyan said earnestly, his heart growing ever more grateful for the system that allowed an ordinary man like himself the chance to perform miracles in public. Chapter 17: 017 The First Button Hearing Li Zhiyan suddly say he could help her, Gu Wanzhou felt surprised. He could help her with this kind of thing? This wasn''tputer programming, nor was it discussing a financial crisis. How could he help her? She asked, "How are you going to help Aunt Gu?" "This is an old problem that no doctor has be able to prescribe medicine for." Li Zhiyan said earnestly, "Aunt Gu, I''ve studied traditional Chinese medicine massage for a while, and I''ve delved quite deep into the subject." "If you''re willing, I can give you a massage." "It will ease the pain." Gu Wanzhou was slightly stunned. This kid knew traditional Chinese medicine? How was that possible? Traditional Chinese medicine should be something that only people in their forties or as old as in their sixties could master. Moreover, relieving pain, that was ev more oundish. This kid couldn''t be trying to take advantage of her, could he? After all, during a massage, you really can see the cleavage. Thinking this, Gu Wanzhou became somewhat guarded, but th she thought about how she had misunderstood Li Zhiyan before at the hotel. She nodded her head. "Th after dinner, you can massage Aunt Gu." ... Once the meal was served, Li Zhiyan''s appetite was also greatly stimted. Wom in their sevties or eighties, they really knew how to cook; but from his geration on, this traditional craft had almostpletely disappeared, reced by various toxic "chick soups" manipting m. That was an important reason Li Zhiyan didn''t like young girls. Of course, Su Mgch was an exception. "Aunt Gu, your cooking is really delicious." Gu Wanzhou said with a smile, "How does itpare to your mother''s cooking?" "About the same." In Li Zhiyan''s mind, of course, his mom''s cooking was the best; after all, as a mama''s boy, eating his mom''s food came with a mother''s love bonus. "Little Darling, wh did you learn your traditional Chinese massage?" Gu Wanzhou always felt that this kid in front of her was trying to take advantage of her. "Aunt Gu, it was a long time ago, back in junior high." "At that time, I was still attding middle school in the county town." Li Zhiyan''s words made Gu Wanzhou think he was bluffing, but she was also afraid of misunderstanding him again, considering previous cases. After all, this kid was really a sincere person. "Come on, Little Darling, eat some more." ... After lunch, while washing the dishes, Gu Wanzhou''s heart suddly became a bit nervous. In a little while, this kid would be giving her a massage, but what was he really thinking? Was he maybe trying to sneak a peek at her chest? It was only at one o''clock that she sat down in the living room. "Aunt Gu, let me massage you," said Li Zhiyan, somewhat impatitly. This was a reward of twty thousand yuan just for a massage! It would bring him one step closer to his little goal of bing a millionaire. "Okay." Hearing the urgcy in Li Zhiyan''s voice, Gu Wanzhou grew ev more suspicious of the child''s inttions. Although he was a child, he was also an adolesct. If she agreed, he could very well take the opportunity to push things too far. "Aunt Gu, it''s not very convit here, let''s go to your room," he suggested. After a momt''s thought, Gu Wanzhou agreed. If she found Li Zhiyan harboring other inttions and trying to make a move, she could just stop him; he was an honest child and would definitely not dare to do anything excessive. The two tered Gu Wanzhou''s room, and Li Zhiyan looked a. The room was spacious and bright, spotlessly clean, without any signs of a man''s presce. Clearly, Gu Wanzhou had be lonely for a long time. As for how long she had be living in solitude, Li Zhiyan had no idea. But evtually, with him a, Aunt Gu''s life would surely be slowly filled and riched. "Aunt Gu, please sit on the edge of the bed, it will be morefortable this way." "Okay." After Gu Wanzhou sat down, Li Zhiyan turned on the system and took a look. He activated the massage skill, which could relieve pain and would certainly be beficial for Aunt Gu. "Aunt Gu, could you unbutton one of your shirt buttons? It will make the massage easier." Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat disappointed. As expected, this kid wanted to peek at her; no man, big or small,ckedscivious thoughts. If she were to unbutton one, wouldn''t he see everything? "Just massage me like this." "Okay." Li Zhiyan ced his hands on Gu Wanzhou''s neck. Smelling the fragrance of Aunt Gu''s hair, he slowly closed his eyes, somewhat intoxicated by it. Truly, she was a prime mature woman. The momt his hand made contact with Gu Wanzhou''s neck, a warm, smooth ssation was transmitted. It made Li Zhiyan reluctant to leave Gu Wanzhou''s skin as he continued the massage. Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful eyes wided, she realized. Her own heart was really too filthy, too sordid. She actually thought this young man wanted to take advantage of her, but in truth, not only did Li Zhiyan know how to massage with traditional Chinese medicine techniques, he was also an expert in the truest sse of traditional Chinese massage! His massage greatly alleviated her pain, but with the clothes in the way, it felt like something was missing. "Xiao Yan, your traditional Chinese massage is really quite effective." She voluntarily unbuttoned the first button and closed her eyes. Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan started massaging a Gu Wanzhou''s vicle. After a full set of systematic massage, Aunt Gu wouldn''t be troubled by this kind of pain for some time, which was the magic of the system. At the same time, Li Zhiyan had the perfect view before him. Being an 8-year-old young man full of vigor, it was natural that Li Zhiyan would look. Aunt Gu, really well concealed. Perhaps because of her slim figure, she didn''t look as voluptuous as Rao Shi Yun. True capability, only those who understand would know. Fully mature wom, of them were simple, indeed. "Aunt Gu, does it still hurt?" "It''s much relieved. Little Darling, you''re quite something." Gu Wanzhou was increasingly troubled about how to handle her rtionship with Li Zhiyan. She really liked thed, like a mother adores her son, but he was set on making her his girlfrid. Putting her through the small ringer, she felt more fulfilled. If it were someone else, she would have blocked and deleted them long ago, but now she seemed to be unable to stay away from him. His hands appeared to have magic in them; just this ability to massage could save her from quite a lot of suffering. Moreover, she kept misunderstanding him, always feeling guilty towards this naive boy. He only wanted to alleviate her pain, yet she assumed he was trying to take advantage of her. What to do? "Aunt Gu." "Do your legs hurt from wearing high heels all the time?" Young girls usually dislike wearing high heels. But mature wom in their 40s who are as attractive as Gu Wanzhou, most can''t stay away from high heels. "Actually, I''m used to it." "I''ve be wearing high heels for twty years." "Back th, you wer''t ev born yet." Gu Wanzhou wanted to remind Li Zhiyan that she was over twty years older than him. However, this made Li Zhiyan feel ev more uncontroble. "Let me massage your legs in a bit." He nced at Gu Wanzhou''s pristine legs beath her pleated skirt. Li Zhiyan felt his hormones just couldn''t stop being released. Chapter 18: 018 Steal a kiss Gu Wanzhou''s skin was very . Among m, Li Zhiyan''splexion was already considered fair. However, wh his hand was ced on Gu Wanzhou''s neck to massage her, there was still a distinct visual contrast. Aunt Gu''s legs are really long and . Upon hearing Li Zhiyan would massage her legs, Gu Wanzhou subconsciously felt it was inappropriate. After all, legs are a very private part of a woman''s body. They shouldn''t be touched carelessly by others. But after thinking about it, she realized that the kid just wanted to simply help relieve her pain. If she refused him, he would probably be very sad and upset. She couldn''t misunderstand this kid anymore! With this in mind, Gu Wanzhou gtly said, "Hmm..." However, because the massage from Li Zhiyan was sofortable, her voice trembled as she spoke. To Li Zhiyan, such a voice sounded like the music of the heavs. Aunt Gu''s voice is really nice to list to, no wonder she is Yu Sisi''s mother. With Li Zhiyan''s continuous massage, Gu Wanzhou felt an urge to fall asleep. The kid''s massage technique was sofortable that it made her want to sleep. But thinking about Li Zhiyan going to massage her legs next... Gu Wanzhou felt an inexplicable nervousness. It was just a kid. Gu Wanzhou kept telling herself this in her heart. After about fifte minutes, Li Zhiyan released Gu Wanzhou and asked, "Aunt Gu, does your neck still hurt?" After trying to move her neck, the pain indeed seemed to have disappeared. "It really doesn''t hurt anymore!" Without a change in expression, she fasted the first button of her shirt, feeling a bit suspicious if the kid had peeked at her. Wh her face was slightly flushed, Li Zhiyan continued, "Aunt Gu, let me massage your legs for you." "It will also help you move your ankles." Considering his two thousand yuan reward, she had to take this seriously. "Okay..." "Aunt Gu, please take off your slippers, and I''ll massage your ankles for you." "Hmm..." Gu Wanzhou''s face turned slightly red, forgetting how many years it had be since she had had physical contact with the opposite sex. Although she regarded the Li Zhiyan in front of her as a naive child... He was, after all, an adult now. He could ev pull a hefty cart. Moreover, young people are stronger. As she was lost in wild thoughts, Li Zhiyan had gtly picked up Gu Wanzhou''s right foot and ced it on his own leg. He carefully admired her long, , beautiful leg. Li Zhiyan began massaging her ankle. Gu Wanzhou was really beautiful. Her whole body seemed wless and , ev her ankles were smooth and seemed without blemish. "Aunt Gu, your legs are really and long." "They''re so pretty, much r than my hands." An unprecedted feeling of rxation spread from her ankle. Gu Wanzhou subconsciously closed her eyes; the kid''s hands felt truly magical. Without a change in expression, she gtly pulled down her pleated skirt. Gu Wanzhou felt there still needed to be a distinction betwe m and wom. Li Zhiyan professionally continued to massage Gu Wanzhou''s ankles, th slowly moved up to her calves. Aunt Gu''s beautiful legs were really and smooth. Li Zhiyan''s hormones were on the move; it was really difficult for him to control himself as a young man. After Li Zhiyan reached Gu Wanzhou''s calves, her pretty face had already begun to glow with an ticing flush. It had be so many years since anyone had touched her legs. "Aunt Gu, does it feelfortable?" Li Zhiyan grabbed Gu Wanzhou''s other beautiful leg and ced both legs on his own. "It''sfortable, you''re very skilled, my dear." Because of embarrassmt, Gu Wanzhou closed her eyes. She wanted to see if the kid was stealing nces at her, but after noticing that Li Zhiyan''s gaze was very proper, she felt somewhat guilty. This kid must like her in a pure way. And here she was, always wondering if he was trying to take advantage of her, if he had any ulterior motives. Her own thoughts were quite filthy. After massaging her calves for a while, Li Zhiyan''s hands kneaded up and down Gu Wanzhou''s calves. Aunt Gu''s legs were very smooth, with a nice touch, making Li Zhiyan bd over again to conceal himself. After finishing with the calves, Li Zhiyan''s hands continued to move upward. He began massaging Gu Wanzhou''s thighs. At this momt, Gu Wanzhou became somewhat panicked and subconsciously wanted to stop him. Massaging the calves was still reasonable, but the thighs were just too private. No matter what, it was not quite appropriate, but after Li Zhiyan started, she found it hard to voice her objections, his Chinese medical massage techniques were too effective, making her feel like falling asleep. At the same time, she felt her hormones secreting. Li Zhiyan''s massage turned Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face redder and redder. The burning ssation made it difficult for her to op her eyes. The male sct emanating from Li Zhiyan made her breathing grow rapid. She too was a normal woman, and having be lonely for so many years, how could she not have ev the slightest thought? Feeling the young man''s hands pressing on her thighs back and forth, Gu Wanzhou felt increasingly shy in her heart. It wasn''t until Li Zhiyan''s hands reached the hem of the pleated skirt that she somewhat frantically caught his hand. "Thank you, my dear." "You''ve already made Auntie veryfortable with the massage." "I guess I won''t be troubled by neck pain for a good long while." She slowly took her legs off Li Zhiyan''s. Gu Wanzhou''s chest rose and fell with her breaths. "Aunt Gu, you lie here, let me massage your arms for you." This wasn''t an unreasonable request. "Okay." Getting directly on the bed, Gu Wanzhouy down, and Li Zhiyan too took off his shoes, got on the bed, and sat next to Gu Wanzhou. Aunt Gu was indeed a mature woman; ev lying down, her charms were so noticeable. Some wom, once theyy down, everything spreads out and nothing can be se. After Li Zhiyan also got on the bed, Gu Wanzhou somewhat regretted it. She was truly brainless. Was it appropriate for this young man to share a bed with her? However, as Li Zhiyan''s wrists massaged, shefortably closed her eyes slowly, feeling drowsy. She actually felt a drowsy ssation as if she wanted to fall asleep. "Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan hadn''t expected that Gu Wanzhou seemed to have fall asleep. Looking at Gu Wanzhou''s fair and lovely face, sitting beside this exquisitely beautiful mature woman, Li Zhiyan''s heart suddly surged with a crazy thought. Stealing a kiss on Aunt Gu''s face shouldn''t count as much, right? After all, she was asleep and wouldn''t realize it. Thinking this, Li Zhiyan''s heartbeat also throbbed faster. A kiss, to touch and th to let go. Not ev for a second, no harm done. Chapter 19: 019 Lips Some thoughts, once they surface in your heart, can never fade away again. Looking at the stunning face of the mature beauty in front of him, Li Zhiyan found it hard to resist the urge to sneak a kiss on Aunt Gu. However, perhaps due to blding into the age of 8, Li Zhiyan felt inexplicably timid. His heart was dlessly conflicted. After a while, Li Zhiyan finally stopped massaging Gu Wanzhou. Her breathing was very steady, as if she had fall asleep. "Missionpleted, cash reward of twty thousand yuan received." "The reward has be deposited into your online banking ount." The sound of the message alert startled Li Zhiyan, and he hurriedly covered his pocket, for fear of waking Gu Wanzhou and losing the chance to sneak a kiss on Aunt Gu. This time, the mission reward was directly deposited into his bank ount. This Wimpy System is really unpredictable. But fortunately, Gu Wanzhou did not wake up. Looking at the charming face of the mature woman in front of him, Li Zhiyan found it harder to control himself. He slowly leaned in and gtly kissed Gu Wanzhou''s face. In that momt, Li Zhiyan''s mind wt nk. To have kissed Yu Sisi''s mom, it truly felt like he was dreaming. Gu Wanzhou, who was in a daze, suddly became alert. How could she not recognize that warm, moist ssation? This kid, so bold to actually kiss her. However, at this momt, Gu Wanzhou dared not wake up. If she did, it would be extremely awkward for both of them. And so... Li Zhiyan''s lips slowly moved and finallynded on Gu Wanzhou''s red lips. Subconsciously, she licked her tongue. At this point, Gu Wanzhou could no longer pretd, and she reached out her hand as if to scratch her head, but she did not wake up. This frighted Li Zhiyan, and his hormones quickly dissipated. He ded the stealthy kiss swiftly. Li Zhiyan slowly walked out of Gu Wanzhou''s bed and left her house. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Gu Wanzhou sat up, feeling an unprecedted lightness in her body. "This brat, daring to steal a kiss from me." Licking her lips, Gu Wanzhou felt her face heat uppletely. The loneliness that had be suppressed for years seemed to be gradually awaked by Li Zhiyan. Later, Gu Wanzhou received a QQ message from Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Gu, you were asleep, so I left first." "You naughty kid, such audacity." Gu Wanzhou thought to herself, but to avoid embarrassmt, she did not reply to Li Zhiyan for the time being. If she pierced through this thin veil of pretse, who knows what the boy woulde up with. So, it''s better to feign ignorance, it''s better for both of them. ... On the road, Li Zhiyan cursed himself for being cowardly. Now his mindset had really reverted to that of an 8-year-old. In front of an elder like Gu Wanzhou, he still had a subconscious fear of siors. But the feeling just now was indescribably wonderful. So this is what it feels like to kiss a stunning mature woman 3 years his sior; it was thrilling. Wh he thought about Aunt Gu''s profound cleavage and her snowy legs from earlier, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble ssation within him. After calming his emotions, he checked the twty thousand yuan that had be deposited into his bank ount. "You solved a problem for Presidt Wang of Zhimei Company, and he has paid you twty thousand yuan through online banking." "You are still 970,000 yuan away from bing a millionaire." "It seems that every sum of money provided by the system has a legitimate source of ie. There''s no fear of being audited, and I indeed have the corresponding skills!" "But it feels really good to have twty thousand cash in the bank at 8." "What about the system tasks, have they refreshed yet?" As soon as he oped the system, Li Zhiyan saw the new system task. "Li Meifg''spany''s system has also run into some trouble." "So through Rao Shi Yun, you and Rao Shi Yun are invited to go to herpany to fix theputer." "However, thepany''s Frch clit''s trantor suddly got appdicitis." "Please help Li Meifg solve this problem." "Task reward, thirty thousand in cash." "Frch proficicy, automatic learning in progress." Li Zhiyan felt a surge of excitemt in his heart, his system really wasn''t a piece of junk! This was like telling him in advance about the evts that were about to happ, and ev giving him a new skill. Proficicy in Frch, such minornguages were in high demand in the trantion market a decade ago. Going out as an interpreter could earn at least a thousand a day. Later on, he wouldn''t just be earning money by giving massages to wealthy wom or by programming. He could also work as a Frch trantor. "Salted Fish System, you''re awesome." "One step closer to the goal of bing a millionaire." "Aunt Li will certainly give me somepsation as well, plus the thirty thousand from the system, that''s not a small amount." "Once I earn the money, I''ll buy Mom a new house, and we can move into a new home ourselves." In a good mood, Li Zhiyan relished the exciting sce of giving Aunt Gu a massage. Li Zhiyan found that he absolutely loved this kind of life where he didn''t need to n, a life that allowed him to perform miracles in front of others without having to think. Reborn, Li Zhiyan dreamt of a life that was easy-going, focusing primarily on being happy and cheerful. He arrived at the inte caf¨¦, and sure ough, his best frid Li Shiyu was still there, sting away at the New Year''s square with cannons. "Stop ying, I''ll take you to the bath cter to spd some money." As for being a technician, Li Zhiyan had no interest in this life, but it was esstial to help this kid break free from his life as a besotted fool. "Isn''t it just a massage and some scrubbing?" Though he said this, Li Shiyu still wt to the counter to log off and took the six coins in change from the cashier, th followed Li Zhiyan to the bath cter. ... Aftering out of the bath cter. Li Shiyu lit up a cigarette. "Damn, I never knew the third floor of the bath cter had that stuff!" "I''ve be living in ignorance." Li Zhiyan asked calmly, "Still going after Wang Xinyue?" "Not anymore, never again." Li Shiyu''s eyes were somewhat vacant, and th he dragged Li Zhiyan back to the inte caf¨¦ to continue ying Dungeon Fighter. ... At night, Li Zhiyany in the second bedroom of the rtal apartmt, listing to the whirring sound of the fan, he found it difficult to fall asleep, his mind full of Aunt Gu''s fair legs and her profound cleavage. Such a top-notch mature woman really leaves you wanting more. A nine-thirty, just like the task released by the system had predicted. Rao Shi Yun st a message to Li Zhiyan. Rao Shi Yun: "Son, are you there?" Li Zhiyan: "What son, didn''t I refuse your offer to be your godson?" Rao Shi Yun: "Kid, just kidding." "Got a bit of a situation here, do you remember Aunt Li Meifg fromst time?" Lying in the bedroom, Rao Shi Yun felt a bit embarrassed as she brought up Li Meifg, that woman really had no filter. Asking her to breastfeed Li Zhiyan, that woman was truly saucy, ev more than herself. Li Zhiyan: "I remember." Rao Shi Yun: "Herpany''s system is having a minor issue. Lately, employees have be having trouble clocking in, could you help out? Auntie and you, we''ll go together." Chapter 20: 020 Rao Shi Yun couldnt hold on anymore ``` Li Zhiyan: "Okay." He certainly couldn''t refuse, this was a chance to earn thirty thousand yuan. If he continued at this rate,pleting these types of tasks dozs of times would be as routine as eating and drinking, and he could be a millionaire. With the currt housing prices in Wanchg, he could buy his mom a new house. Rao Shi Yun: "You agreed so readily." Li Zhiyan: "Of course, didn''t I say I would treat you like a mother?" ¡­ In the bedroom, Rao Shi Yun''s plump and beautiful legs were crossed. Looking at the kid''s reply, she felt a warmth in her heart. Wh she first met Li Zhiyan, actually, Rao Shi Yun just saw him as a bystander. She had initially brought up Li Zhiyan''s pursuit of Gu Wanzhou as a tease, butter found out that Li Zhiyan really was a remarkable kid. The childr of the poor took charge early; he was able to earn fifty thousand yuan at 8 through self-taught coding. That''s something her own son could never match up to, no matter what. After further conversations, Rao Shi Yun truly felt a strong affection for Li Zhiyan, otherwise, she wouldn''t have considered taking him on as a son. Rao Shi Yun: "Alright, th Auntie will contact you tomorrow." "This time, your Auntie Li will definitely give you a big red velope." In the following time, the two of them chatted for a long while. It wasn''t until after elev o''clock that Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep. Wh he woke up the next day, Li Zhiyan felt what was meant by ''surplus ergy, the dragon rearing its head, and furiously at that.'' Last night, he dreamt about giving Aunt Gu a massage. He proceeded to forcefully¡­ Th came some indescribable sces. "Being young is great, controlled by hormones." "But I can only be so indulgt in my dreams." "Why are my dreams always filled with sces from those ind country films?" Shaking his head, he cast aside all the strange thoughts and ideas. Li Zhiyan th wt to wash up. After cleaning up, his mother had already served breakfast. "Mom, you didn''t work overtime, did you?" Looking at her son in front of her, Zhou Rongrong truly felt that her precious son waspletely differt from before. Now, he had grown so much more ssiblepared to the past. "No." Although Zhou Rongrong really wanted to work overtime to earn some extra money, she could tell that her son was watching her; if she wt to work overtime, he would definitely be unhappy. "That''s good, Mom. I can earn money now, so you can just go to work casually. If you don''t want to go, I can support you. Just wait until I''ve saved ough money to buy a new house." "We won''t live in this rted ce anymore, there isn''t ev an elevator." "Having to climb the stairs every day whing back is too inconvit." Looking at her son who was boasting, Zhou Rongrong''s eyes were filled with indulgce and pride. This kid was really getting better at fantasizing. Only 8 years old and already thinking of buying a house in Wanchg. However, she didn''t want to damp her son''s thusiasm. "Okay, th Mom will wait for you to earn big money and buy a house for me." "That way, I won''t have to worry about your future marriage." ¡­ After t o''clock, Li Zhiyan received a message from Rao Shi Yun. Rao Shi Yun: "Where are you? Auntie wille pick you up, your Auntie Li''spany is a bit far." ``` After Li Zhiyan st his home address, she waited for Rao Shi Yun to pick her up. Wh the Audi A6 stopped downstairs, Rao Shi Yun got out of the car and waved to Li Zhiyan, who was looking out the window. "Li Zhiyan." "Auntie Rao, I''ming down now." Once downstairs, seeing the voluptuous figure of Rao Shi Yun, Li Zhiyan thought this truly qualified as a "big car." Especially Auntie Rao''s chest, it was really excessively full. What was hidd beath, he reckoned only personal experice could reveal. "Auntie Rao." Li Zhiyan walked up and gtly grasped Rao Shi Yun''s smooth, jade-like hand, the touch was indescribably delightful. It was apletely differt ssationpared to Aunt Gu. As he looked at Rao Shi Yun''s ample chest, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but think of Li Meifg''s teasing suggestion about letting Auntie Rao breastfeed him. That woman was indeed unrestrained in speech, but he quite liked it. "Xiao Yan, let''s go, Auntie has already turned on the air conditioning for you." Seeing Li Zhiyan living in such a dpidated neighborhood, Rao Shi Yun felt ev more pity and admiration for him. This kid had managed to self-learn programming in such a tough vironmt, what hardships and efforts he must have gone through. The two got into the car, and Li Zhiyan saw Rao Shi Yun fasting her seatbelt. Indeed, seatbelts do tuate one''s figure, and now Li Zhiyan could roughly gauge Rao Shi Yun''s true figure. D+, definitely above D+. Although Aunt Gu''s 36D was already quite astonishing, it still fell short whpared to Auntie Rao. "Xiao Yan, are you living with your mother now?" As they drove, Rao Shi Yun started to make small talk with Li Zhiyan. "Yes, Auntie Rao." "Your mother probably doesn''t have much time to take care of you, right?" "No, but I understand her. It''s already very difficult for mom to work alone in order to buy me a house. I''m very considerate of her, so I want to earn more money to help alleviate her burd." Rao Shi Yun''s nose tingled, nearly bringing her to tears. She couldn''t bear to see such a poor yet ssible child. "Don''t worry, Xiao Yan." "This time, Aunt Li will surely give you a big red velope." After more than twty minutes, the Audi A6 stopped in front of the Jinzi Building. Manypanies had offices in this building, including Li Meifg''spany. "Let''s go, look, your Aunt Li is already waiting for you downstairs. She really admires you, kid." Li Zhiyan, looking at the ordinary-looking Li Meifg, felt it was a bit of a pity. If only Aunt Li had be more attractive. But th again, most middle-aged wom in the world ar''t pretty; after all, it''s 0, not 04, wh the majority of middle-aged wom know how to take care of themselves and dress well. Many people fancy aunts because many aunts in 04 maintain their youthfulness and have mature charm. Like Gu Wanzhou or Rao Shi Yun, these exceptional mature wom are, after all, the minority in real life. Having so many outstanding mature wom a him was an explosion of good luck; most people might not see ev one in their lifetime. "Hi!" "Li Zhiyan, we meet again." Li Meifg, seeing Li Zhiyan and Rao Shi Yun walking over together, greeted Li Zhiyan. "You two seem to have a good rtionship!" "Li Zhiyan, tell Auntie, Auntie Rao hasn''t be secretly breastfeeding you, has she?" "Did you get your fill?" Ev Li Zhiyan found it difficult to cope with this woman at this momt. He had expericed her provocative way of speaking. Chapter 21: 021 This is the type Shiyun likes. Li Meifg''s talk was saucy, and Li Zhiyan remembered it clearly. Still, he couldn''t help but nce at Rao Shi Yun. If Auntie Rao were to feed him, th he truly wouldn''t have to worry about food ever again. Feeling Li Zhiyan''s gaze on her for a momt, Rao Shi Yun rolled her eyes at Li Meifg. She still wanted to be Li Zhiyan''s godmother. Yet this woman always directed the conversation towards topics like nursing. Really... It was frustrating to think about, and she felt helpless to do anything about it. "Can you not spout nonsse in front of the child?" Li Meifg said indiffertly, "This isn''t nonsse. The kid likes you, doesn''t he? If he couldn''t confess to Gu Wanzhou, I bet he''s hoping you''d feed him in his heart." Ev Li Zhiyan found such provocative words hard to bear. "Aunt Li, what exactly is happing with yourpany''s system?" If he let this woman continue, their conversation would probably d up going to the South Pole. Although, he did quite fancy the idea of being fed by Auntie Rao. "Here''s the thing, Xiao Yan, there''s be a little problem with the time clock system at mypany, and some data can''t be retrieved ev with the employee IDs." Li Meifg had tried looking online for someone to help, but those people were either not very capable or asked for exorbitant fees. That''s why Li Meifg thought of this kid, who in her eyes was akin to a hacker. With his help, the problem would surely be solved easily. "Aunt Li, th take me to thepany to have a look." The three of them headed towards the building. In the elevator, Li Meifg teased, "Rao the beauty, your charm is truly immse. Wh I heard you wereing today, ourpany''s Presidt Lew Huan also made a point toe." "He''s always liked you, and would love to have you as his lover." Hearing Lew Huan''s name, Rao Shi Yun''s beautiful eyes shed with disgust; she truly detested this man. Handsome as he was, he was incredibly fickle, having deceived who knows how many married wom. How could she possibly be his lover? "Of course, you''re not interested. You''re now grossed in feeding this kid every day," "Who has time to be someone else''s lover?" Rao Shi Yun finally couldn''t take it anymore. "Enough! Saucy woman, I''ll tear your mouth apart right now!" "Alright, alright, no more. We''ve arrived at thepany." Seeing more people a, Li Meifg immediately toned it down. Such saucy talk was better saved for wh fewer people were a, but Li Meifg had this nagging thought that this kid would, sooner orter, have his fill with Rao Shi Yun. "Presidt Li." "Good day, Presidt Li." The employees greeted Li Meifg one after another. Li Zhiyan looked a; Li Meifg''s tradingpany wasn''t veryrge, with only about a doz or so employees. However,pared to the average household, Li Meifg was definitely wealthy. Those bosses dining in the private room at the Xinyuan Hotel that day were all from the same circle. Basically, they were all on a simr ie level. After arriving at the Geral Manager''s office, Li Meifg began attding to Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, take a seat. Auntie will pour you a ss of water." At the window, a middle-aged man wearing sunsses turned his head. Although he was in his forties, he still had that handsome uncle charm. Li Zhiyan found the uncle wearing sunsses indoors during the day quite speechless - what an act. But fair ough, after all, these people were from a differt era. Their idea of showing off waspletely differt from what he understood. But why were there so many handsome people in this world, while he was just somewhat good-looking? After some thought, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless but th he came to terms with it. He had a system and talt that could also capture the hearts of mature wom. "Shiyun, you''re here." "Are you free tonight? Let''s have dinner together." Looking at Rao Shi Yun''s voluptuous figure, Lew Huan''s heart was filled with greed. He had be with many wom, but had never se one with such fair skin. and just the right amount of plumpness as this ultimate mature beauty ¨C Rao Shi Yun. Those snowy beautiful legs really made it hard to look away. And th there was her astonishingly impressive bust. It was hard to imagine just how itchy one''s heart could get if one could see her true beauty. It was just that Rao Shi Yun had always be cold to him. Although his own wife was also a top-tier mature woman, after so many years, he was tired of her. Now, all he wanted to do was take Rao Shi Yun to a hotel room. "Ha-ha, Old Lew, you should stop thinking about Rao Shi Yun." "If you like me, I can be your lover." Lew Huan nced at Li Meifg. This woman was indeed bold and saucy, but unfortunately, her appearance was too in for his taste. If he could pull Rao Shi Yun to his side, he would willingly give up t years of his life. "Some things still require a lot of effort to know if there will be a result." "My feelings for Shiyun are guine." After Li Meifg brought over two cups of herbal tea to Li Zhiyan and Rao Shi Yun, she also sat down. "You can stop dreaming, Old Lew." "Shiyun doesn''t like old m like you, she likes younger ones." "Look, this is the type of guy Shiyun likes, that''s why she''s always feeding him." While saying this, Li Meifg patted Li Zhiyan''s shoulder and winked at Lew Huan. For a momt, Lew Huan was speechless; could this kid really have be fed by Rao Shi Yun? At that thought, a feeling of jealousy surged rapidly within him. What made it worse was that he couldn''t really argue with a kid; it would make him look graceless and would lower his image in Rao Shi Yun''s eyes. This kid, he couldn''t really have be fed by her, could he? If so, he certainly wouldn''t be hungry. "Aunt Li, which one is yourpany''s main system server? Let me handle it for you." "This isn''t a small matter." Li Meifg''s expression also became serious; indeed, it was not a minor issue, "The one on the left desk over there." Li Zhiyan took a sip of herbal tea and wt straight to the left desk. "Li Meifg, are you saying that the professional you hired is this kid?" Lew Huan suddly understood why this kid could be so close to Rao Shi Yun! Probably because he had bragged in front of her. "Of course, although he''s only 8, he is aputer gius. You can''tpare to him, so our beautiful Rao is quite fond of him, feeding him. I think you should give up." Lew Huan was a bit angry, but his ability to control his emotions was much stronger than that of a kid like Liu Zifg. Watching the way Rao Shi Yun looked at Li Zhiyan with admiration, He felt ev more convinced that she might have really fed him. That this kid had gott such a great advantage! "Shiyun, we''re both in our forties now, don''t always list to the nonsse of kids." "He''s so young; what could he possibly know aboutputers? Being so close to a child isn''t a good thing. You need to maintain the boundaries betwe m and wom." "If people saw it, they could talk." Chapter 22: 022 Just like a dream lover of Rao Shiyun Lew Huan''s words had irritated Rao Shiyun. Is it wrong for me to like this child? Ev if I were to nurse him myself, it''s of your business. "What nonsse are you talking about? Xiao Yan is just a child. There''s no need to think about gder differces at his age, don''t be so unpleasant." Having said that, Rao Shiyun pulled up a stool and sat down beside Li Zhiyan. Seeing Rao Shiyun so close to Li Zhiyan, a knot of annoyance formed in Lew Huan''s heart, but he couldn''t find the words to protest. He felt that to quarrel with a child would indeed seem a bit excessive. Li Zhiyan, too, ignored Lew Huan. He saw Lew as a relic from a bygone era, a sort of charmer from a geration ago, and not someone Li Zhiyan needed to concern himself with. However, he did wonder if his future rivals in love would all be uncles like this. Li Zhiyan''s mind buzzed with all sorts of strange thoughts as he booted up the mainframe. Th he began to repair the system of Li Meifg''spany. The system of Li Meifg''spany was indeed challging to fix. A programmer with t years of experice was still a raremodity, unlike in 4 years wh bald programmers were everywhere. But for Li Zhiyan, it was a piece of cake. His fingers moved skillfully, furiously tapping out code until they blurred with speed. Li Meifg was astonished by the speed of the child''s hands. Any girl who bes his girlfrid is bound to be overjoyed to death! Meanwhile, her gaze upon Li Zhiyan was full of admiration. A poor child teaching himself programming and achieving so much was a clear sign of the hardship and effort he had put in. And Rao Shiyun, sitting beside Li Zhiyan, couldn''t help but stroke his head. Th she took out her mobile phone and started recording, capturing Li Zhiyan''s quick fingers and the interface he was working with. Her eyes shone with fascination while her heart overflowed with maternal affection. If only my own son could be this outstanding. The code was like a secret script to her, tirely iprehsible. But in the hands of this child, it seemed effortless. Seeing Rao Shiyun so close to Li Zhiyan, Lew Huan''s expression grew sourer. Where did this kide from to be doing suchplex programming? He didn''t have a romantic rival before, but suddly there was one, and the kid was only 8. What is this nonsse! If Rao Shiyun actually took to nursing him, he would certainly be in misery for sev or eight years. About fifte minutester, after Li Zhiyan ran the system and found no bugs, he reset the system for Li Meifg''spany and called it a day. "Aunt Li, yourpany''s system has be restored to normal," he said. "That was fast!" Li Meifg wt out to check with thepany''s staff. After t minutes, she returned to the office. "It''s indeed fixed, Li Zhiyan, you really are a hacking gius." Li Zhiyan felt a bit embarrassed. Indeed, in the eyes of elders, being able to set an rm on a phone qualified you as a hacker. "Here, take this." Li Meifg oped the drawer of her desk, took out an velope, and ced it in front of Li Zhiyan. By its thickness, it was clearly ,000 yuan, which secretly thrilled Li Zhiyan. The system task reward alone was 30,000 yuan. With the additional ,000 from Li Meifg, he had made 40,000 yuan on this job. "Forget it, Aunt Li, how could I ept money for helping you?" Li Zhiyan politely demurred. Rao Shiyun took the velope and handed it to Li Zhiyan. "Take it wh it''s giv to you. Kid, why be so polite?" "If you don''t take it, Aunt Li really won''t be able to sleep tonight. If we had to call in another programmer, whether they could solve the problem is one thing, but the cost would definitely be higher," she said while grasping Li Zhiyan''s hand. Only after Li Zhiyan had a firm grip on the velope did she let go of his hand. "How about it, Presidt Lew? You failed to recognize true talt, didn''t you? Li Zhiyan is a guineputer gius." "I helped Liu Yan solve a difficult problem with hispany''s system before." "They directly gave fifty thousand for that, this rate of earning money is far better than yours." Lew Huan smiled awkwardly, feeling a burning ssation on his face. Who would have thought that a kid could truly understand suchplex programming. No wonder Shiyun has tak such a liking to this youngster. A talted man will never be buried in the crowd at any time. Thinking about Li Zhiyan''s hand being wrapped by Shiyun''s delicate hands, his heart itched with hatred. Those snow-, smooth hands, he had never ev held them himself, fortunately. Looking at their state, it was clear they''d definitely not fed this youngster anything. Now his n to worm his way in has be troublesome, he always felt that Li Zhiyan would be a stumbling block on his path of securing this mistress. Shiyun pinched Li Zhiyan''s face, growing fonder of the child. His movemts while fixing theputer were really cool. He was incredibly talted! He was truly the dream child she visioned, the beloved son she had always imagined. "Xiao Yan, won''t you really consider epting me as your mom?" Shiyun inquired about this matter again. "Exactly, Li Zhiyan, I think you should consider Auntie Rao as your godmother. Once you do, she will sure you are well-fed every day, don''t you want her to feed you? Wouldn''t that be nice?" "Still no¡­" While everyone was chatting leisurely, Li Meifg''s 6-year-old secretary, who was average in both looks and figure, hurried over. "Presidt Li, Presidt Lew, the clit from France has arrived at ourpany." Li Meifg wasn''t in the mood for those flirtatious jokes with Li Zhiyan anymore. Doing business was the real deal. Lew Huan also straighted his shirt and walked out seriously. This was a gold opportunity to impress Shiyun, after all, a mature man was far more attractive than these little brats. "Mr. Smith, please." The two of them invited the Frch Mr. Smith into the office. But they had yet to detect anything amiss. "Mr. Smith, you''vee a long way to visit ourpany for inspection. I believe ourpany''s professional strgth will definitely satisfy you." "De quoi parlez - vous?" Li Meifg and Lew Huan turned their atttion to the young man beside Smith. The young man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Sorry, the trantor had a sudd acute appdicitis." "So he was tak to the hospital." "Presidt Li, it seems we can''tmunicate today. Do you have a Frch trantor here? If not, we''ll need to move on to the nextpany." Li Meifg''s heart was now truly in a panic. Although they imed to be an international tradepany on paper, it was rare to meet a foreigner ev within a few years. Ev if they met foreigners, there was always a trantor. This situation without a trantor had never urred before! "Bonjour, je parle un peu fran?ais." At this momt, Lew Huan stepped forward and spoke a stce in Frch. Li Meifg and Shiyun couldn''t help but turn their gaze toward Lew Huan. This man actually spoke Frch? In fact, that was the only stce he knew, and because the pronunciation was too far off from being urate, Smith was still puzzled and did not respond to him. An awkward silce fell upon the room. After a while, seeing themunication deadlock, Smith stood up, intding to leave. Today''s contract had to be signed, and a Frch-speakingpany''s trantor was needed to finalize the deal. Otherwise, the details simply couldn''t be discussed. Watching Smith about to leave, Li Meifg sank weakly into the sofa. This deal was falling through... Li Zhiyan slowly stood up; three thousand was at stake, and he had to step in. "Xiao Yan, what are you going to do?" Shiyun asked softly. Chapter 23: 023 Li Zhiyan actually taught himself French! Li Zhiyan blocked Smith''s path directly. Th, he said in very standard Frch, "Mister Smith, hello, perhaps we could talk, if you need anything tranted, I could chat with you." Smith immediately stopped in his tracks; he hadn''t expected to hear such standard Frch in a foreign country. "Young man, are you a Chinese Frchman?" "No, I just self-studied Frch for a while." "To self-learn Frch to such an extt, young man, you''re truly a gius." Smith had a very favorable impression of Li Zhiyan. Li Meifg''s eyes wided in amazemt; he was actually conversing with the Frchman Smith! And it seemed there were no barriers in theirmunication. This kid ev knew Frch, unbelievable! At this momt, Rao Shi Yun in the back felt her heart beating very fast. She had already recorded the video of Li Zhiyan fixing the system; she truly admired Li Zhiyan''s talts. Being able to earn sixty thousand yuan at 8, and being self-taught. He was the man of Rao Shi Yun''s dreams. But what she hadn''t expected was! Li Zhiyan had other talts; he knew Frch. ... "Aunt Li, you can tell me anything directly, and I will help you with the trantion," he said. The slightly stunned Li Meifg quickly recovered. "Ah! Yes, sure!" She couldn''t care less about how Li Zhiyan knew Frch; the priority was to secure the order as soon as possible. This was much more important than anything else. Afterward, Li Zhiyan secretly felt proud as he showed off his Frch in front of Auntie Rao. Li Zhiyan was an ordinary person, and among ordinary people, he was very mundane. Therefore, he really liked... Half an hourter, with Li Zhiyan''s trantion, Li Meifg sessfully signed the contract. After Lew Huan wt to see off Smith. Li Meifg couldn''t help but cheer. "Thank you so much, Xiao Yan, if it wasn''t for you, Auntie would have really lost a lot this time." Li Meifg came to the desk, oped the drawer, took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, and ced it in front of Li Zhiyan. "Here, kid, take it." Li Zhiyan really thought Li Meifg talked saucily but was truly gerous in her actions. "Aunt Li, this is too much. A trantor earns just a thousand yuan a day and it''s not every day that you can find work." "Ah, just take it wh I give it to you. Without you, Auntie would have lost ev more." Li Meifg pushed the money directly in front of Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan didn''t continue to refuse; making fifty thousand yuan in one outing was truly worth it. "Why hasn''t Lew Huane back yet?" Li Meifg could probably guess that he was too embarrassed toe back. Beingpletely outdone by an 8-year-old in front of the woman he liked,ing back would just lose face in front of Rao Shi Yun. Rao Shi Yun said with some annoyance, "It''s better that he hasn''te back, people like that who only think about getting into bed all day are disgusting." "Xiao Yan from our family is so much better." The more Rao Shi Yun looked at Li Zhiyan, the more she appreciated the boy. Although he seemed quite ordinary, he was also a bit handsome. With his talts and ambition, he was really likable. "Yo-yo, she hasn''t agreed to let you breastfeed her and already ''our Xiao Yan,'' isn''t your son Liu Zifg?" "You''re in such a hurry to breastfeed Xiao Yan." "Don''t ev mtion it..." Whever Rao Shiyun mtioned her own son, she felt a sse of loss. Compared to Li Zhiyan, Liu Zifg really fell short by a long way. Li Zhiyan checked and saw that the thirty thousand yuan reward from his system had already be deposited into his bank ount. The system was really getting more and more powerful. Now his total assets amounted to eighty thousand yuan. Towards the goal of buying a house. He still needed 90,000 more! ... At noon, Li Meifg booked a table full of delicious food at a nearby grand hotel to thank him. After all, without Li Zhiyan, her loss today would have be too great. After they left the restaurant, Li Meifg teased with a saucymt, "Rao, the great beauty, remember to sd me a photo wh you''re nursing Xiao Yan, so I can admire it." "If you want to nurse him, go ahead!" "Sure thing, but I''m afraid Li Zhiyan might not be willing. Besides, I''m no match for you¡ªone of you is worth three of me. He won''t be full with just me; he''ll still need you." "Just go away!" Rao Shiyun''s face turned red again. This woman kept going on and on about nursing. She just couldn''t stop. In terms of bantering, she was really no match for her. "Bye bye, Li Zhiyan." After sding off Li Meifg, Rao Shiyun felt somewhat helpless. "Xiao Yan, don''t always list to her nonsse. She''s never proper in front of childr." "So annoying. Get in the car, I''ll take you home. I have to go to thepany in the afternoon." "No thank you, Auntie Rao, I''m not going home. There''s nobody at home, and there''s no point in me going back." "You can just go straight to yourpany, and I''ll get off near there." "That works, mypany isn''t far from your house anyway." ... Wh the Audi A6 stopped in front of Rao Shiyun''spany building. The momt he got out of the car, Li Zhiyan felt a wave of heat. But now, Li Zhiyan really liked this kind of scorching hot weather; it was the heat of youth. "Kid, bye now." Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Rao Shiyun couldn''t stop the images of himmunicating with Smith from popping up in her mind. His Frch was really impressive. "Yep, bye Auntie Rao." "Oh right, Xiao Yan." "I forgot to ask, how did you learn Frch so well? Have you be to France before?" Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but smile. As an ordinary person, how could he have had the money to go to France? "No, Auntie Rao, I''ve never be abroad, not ev out of Wan Province. To be honest, I''ve never ev left Wan Province." Amazemt filled Rao Shiyun''s beautiful eyes. "Th how did you be so flut in Frch? Starting to learn Frch is much harder than English. Did you have a professional Frch teacher?" "No, Auntie Rao, I taught myself Frch because I wanted to master another skill to help ease my mother''s burd in life a little." Li Zhiyan knew that was the only exnation he could give. He certainly couldn''t tell anyone about the system. Upon hearing this, Rao Shiyun felt almost too incredulous to believe her ears. The Frch he spoke was all self-taught by this kid! He had not only taught himselfputer programming but also Frch! What incredible willpower that must have tak! And it was all to reduce his mother''s hardships. What a thoughtful child he was. For a momt, Rao Shiyun''s eyes teared up, almost spilling over, as she stepped forward and gtly embraced Li Zhiyan. And Li Zhiyan immediately bt down. Auntie Rao''s embrace was truly magnifict! Chapter 24: 024 Hug! Because it was summer, both of them were dressed very lightly. Rao Shiyun was wearing a cheongsam again. Being held by her like that was almost the same as zero-distance contact. Li Zhiyan, a young man full of vitality, how could he bear it? Auntie Rao really was a woman among wom. She and Gu Wanzhou each had their own beauty. "Xiao Yan, are you really not considering letting me be your godmother? Auntie really likes you," she said. "Still no," he replied. Li Zhiyan was resistant to the idea of a godmother; after all, the old saying wt, "Once you recognize a godmother, you lose a godmother." "Th, could you call me ''Mom'' just once, just to let Auntie fantasize a bit?" To this request from Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan did not refuse. "Mom." "Good son." After pinching Li Zhiyan''s face, she finally parted ways with Li Zhiyan. After she left, her face turned red too¡ªthis kid actually had a reaction. There really was a reason for the phrase "m and wom should not be too intimate"; she would have to be more careful in the future. Watching Rao Shiyun''s retreating figure, it was a long while before Li Zhiyan straighted up his waist. "Ah, the surging hormones of youth really have nowhere to vt," he sighed. Walking along the road, Li Zhiyan oped the system to see if the system tasks had be refreshed. And the Salted Fish System did not disappoint Li Zhiyan. The new system task had be refreshed. "Tomorrow night, wh Gu Wanzhou goes to the park, she will be harassed by Huang Mao at the gazebo at 7:4 PM who will ask for her phone number." "Please go help her out of the trouble." "Task reward: fifty thousand yuan in cash." "To sure the host''s safety." "Martial abilities learning in progress." "After learning isplete, the host will have the strgth to take on five opponts." In an instant, Li Zhiyan felt a surge of ecstatic joy in his heart! Martial abilities? Li Zhiyan, of average height, had always be at a disadvantage in fights; he had suffered quite a bit wh he had previously fought with Liu Zifg. If he had these abilities, wouldn''t that sure his safety? It was the year 0, and public security was far from as good as in the inte age. All kinds of hoodlums and ruffians roamed the streets, so fights and brawls weremon urrces. This ability was indeed very practical. "My system really isn''t useless; at least it''s much better than those nouveau-rich systems. The nouveau-rich systems only offer money, but these abilities are much more precious than money," he thought. Looking at the progress of the skill learning, Li Zhiyan headed straight for the inte cafe with the inttion of having a good gaming session. Upon arriving at the inte cafe, Li Zhiyan indeed saw Li Shiyu, the rascal, ying CrossFire, still exploiting the same bugs, only now with a VIP ount he was ev more arrogant and rampantly cheating. After buying a temporary card, Li Zhiyan sat next to Li Shiyu and tapped him on the shoulder. "Come on, let''s y together," he said. Li Shiyu immediately exited the game. "You came just at the right time. If you were a littleter, it would''ve be full. Not to mtion getting a seat," he said. "How did you feel about yesterday?" Li Zhiyan asked. Li Shiyu revealed a knowing smile. "Don''t ev mtion it. I really didn''t expect that kind of surprise wh going upstairs, and she ev gave me a red velope with one yuan in it!" As he said this, he pulled out the small red velope from his pocket. "This masseuse, quite professional indeed." "Brother Yan, why do I feel that you''ve changed, not quite the same as before? You seem to have a profound and unfathomable air about you now," Li Shiyumted. "Maybe I''ve grown up," Li Zhiyan suggested. The two chatted as Li Zhiyan logged into his own CrossFire ount. "I''m thinking of getting a part-time job," said Li Shiyu. "Huh?" Li Zhiyan really hadn''t expected his good frid, whose mind seemed filled only with inte cafes, to be considering taking on a part-time job. "I asked a, and being a manager pays fifte hundred a month; with that, I could afford to go to the third floor several times a month." "Plus, as a manager, I wouldn''t have to pay forputer use, which would be a huge saving." "But wh they heard I was only going to do it for a month, they immediately let me go." Li Zhiyan did know a bit about being a manager; it basically wasn''t possible to do it short-term. After that, Li Shiyu wt to the bar and brought back two bottles of chilled Coke. Wh he was alone, he would at most buy a bottle of mineral water, but wh Li Zhiyan came, he had to get two bottles of Coke to beat the heat. "Forget it, you usually have to deposit a month''s sry for a manager position, and school is starting in a month anyway. If you keep at it, you''d esstially be working for free." "Stop worrying about it so much; if you''re short on cash, I''ll ld you some." "Brother Yan, don''t be like this, I''m scared. Have youmitted a crime?" "Quit your yapping, let''s head to the New Year''s za." Just as the two of them started the game, they saw a mature, arresting woman walk in. This woman was dressed in a button-up shirt paired with a ck pcil skirt. Below the pcil skirt, a pair of long creamy- legs were somewhat captivating. "Master''s wife! What brings you to an inte cafe?" Li Shiyu subconsciously stood up, feeling quite terrified to have be caught in the inte caf¨¦ by the master''s wife. Li Zhiyan was somewhat surprised as well; he hadn''t expected to run into Master''s wife Jiang Xian here. Seeing the way Li Shiyu reacted, it was clear he hadn''t yet managed to shake off his idtity as a studt. That day at the gathering, he''d thought the master''s wife was incredibly beautiful. At 4, she still took such good care of herself; it really was no small feat. One of the most noticeable features of the master''s wife was her exceptionally fair skin! Auntie Rao and Aunt Gu both had very fair skin, butpared to the master''s wife, there was still a bit of a gap! He really hadn''t noticed before. Jiang Xian said gtly, "Don''t be scared; the sior year has already started." "Your teacher asked me to check the nearby inte cafes to see if any studts were sneaking off to go online." "You guys keep ying." With that, she nced at Li Zhiyan, recalling the brave confession he had made to Yu Sisi''s mother. This boy, I must say, truly has some guts. In his ss, Li Zhiyan had three people he particrly loathed. One was the ss advisor Y Zhgjin, who constantly solicited various bribes from studts. His mother didn''t have extra money to give gifts, so he always found things tough in ss. The second was the ss presidt, Liu Yaolong. His grades were poor, but because his family gave many gifts, he became ss presidt and swaggered a the ss all day, forcing him to do extra cleaning duties. The third was Liu Zifg. He oft mocked him for his family''s poverty and took every chance to cause him trouble. Now, seeing her again, the master''s wife was truly beautiful. Auntie Rao was also an extraordinary beauty. He wondered what Liu Yaolong''s mother looked like. At this momt, Li Zhiyan''s mind couldn''t help but wander. "Master''s wife." Just as Jiang Xian looked a and was about to leave, Li Zhiyan called out to her. "What is it?" The master''s wife was still as gtle as ever. "Master''s wife, could I add you on QQ? Once I go to university, I might really never see you again, and I can''t bear that." Seeing Li Zhiyan appearing somewhat reluctant to part from her... ...touched Jiang Xian''s heart. "Sure, you can chat with the master''s wife whever you''re free." Watching the two of them exchange QQ information, Li Shiyu was thoroughly impressed with Li Zhiyan. Brother Yan was amazing! He ev dared to add the master''s wife on QQ! What was he up to? ... At this time, Gu Wanzhou arrived at the balcony of her home, looking at the freshly sun-dried bed sheets. Taking the sheets back to the bedroom, she started to fold them meticulously. She really hadn''t expected her reaction to be so strong. She was still the same as before... Chapter 25: Aunt Gus Dilemma 025 Mature wom are oft very charming, and a top-quality mature woman like Gu Wanzhou is no exception. That day, wh she was massaging Li Zhiyan''s legs, she couldn''t control herself. "Mom." At this momt, Yu Sisi walked in from outside. "Why do I feel like you''re a bit restless? Did something happ to you?" "What could be bothering me? Nothing." Looking at her daughter, Gu Wanzhou always had the feeling that one day her daughter would regret it. "Nothing. I just have some things on my mind." ... That eving, wh Li Zhiyan returned home, Zhou Rongrong had already prepared a table full of dishes waiting for him. "Son, you seem to be in a good mood." Zhou Rongrong looked at her precious son and always felt that he had changed from before, but she couldn''t quite put her finger on what was differt. "It might be because I''ve made some money." The Li Zhiyan of the past was mediocre,cking confidce, barely noticeable wherever he wt. But now, not only did he have savings of 80,000 yuan at the age of 8, but he also possessed some special skills. How could he not be in a good mood? "Mom, wh I''ve saved ough money, I will definitely buy you a new house, and we will move out of this rtal." "Okay, good son, th Mom will wait for you to buy a new house." Zhou Rongrong served Li Zhiyan the dishes, feeling in her heart that it waspletely unlikely, yet she did not deter his thusiasm. To make the best out of a difficult situation, having aspirations was still a good thing. "Mom, you''re getting more and more beautiful." Looking at his beautiful mother in front of him, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but praise her. To a mama''s boy, his mother is the most beautiful woman in his heart. "You child." "Howe you''re suddly so smooth-talking now." "It''s as if you''ve be a differt person." "Mom, I''m just telling the truth." Looking at her son, who had grown up a lot, Zhou Rongrong suddly felt hopeful for the future. "By the way, Mom, I won''t being home for dinner tomorrow night. I''ll be backte." Zhou Rongrong looked at her son with some curiosity. Could it be that this boy was in love? That would be good; finding a partner is quite troublesome for single-part families. An early start in dating could perhaps smooth out the road to marriage. "Th be safe, Xiao Yan. If you''re dating someone, you need to treat the girl well." Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless; everyone was teaching m to be good to girls. As a result, numerous girls took for granted the m''s efforts and treated themselves as titled princesses. "Mom, what are your thoughts on a rtionship betwe an older woman and a younger man?" "No, it should be a mother-son type of romance. Like, if I found a girlfrid who''s 0 years older than me, would you ept it?" Li Zhiyan indeed asked for a woman''s sake. However, not a girl, but a stunning 4-year-old mature woman. "Ah?" Zhou Rongrong was also somewhat stunned. What was up with this kid? Did he not like girls his own age? "Son, do you not like girls your age?" "A bit, but I was just asking to see if you could ept a rtionship with a 0-year age differce." After thinking for a momt, Zhou Rongrong said earnestly, "Son, I don''t know what kind of girl you will like in the future, but whatever your choice, Mom will support you." "You can be sure of that." "Ev if it''s someone close to Mom''s age, I would agree. Nothing is more important than the happiness of my precious son." Hearing her mother''s understanding words, Li Zhiyan felt very touched in his heart. "Mom, you''re so kind, you can ev ept something like this." "What''s there to not ept? I''m not an antique, son. Just do what you want without worry, I''ll always have your back." After patting Li Zhiyan on the head, Zhou Rongrong also hadplicated thoughts in her heart. This kid, he wouldn''t really find a girlfrid nearly his mother''s age, would he? Forget it, no use thinking too much. As long as my son is happy, anything goes. ¡­ The next day, Li Zhiyan spt another day in the inte caf¨¦ with Li Shiyu, grinding Dungeon Fighter Online and CrossFire. During this time, he would asionally check the progress of his system''s skill learning. The Wimpy System truly lived up to its name; the progress bar moved as if it was thest loading segmt of CrossFire. Fortunately, by the afternoon, the Wimpy System had finally managed toplete the skill learning. In the eving, after calcting the time, Li Zhiyan arrived early at the park that the system had prompted him to go to. In the park, he tried swinging his fist, and indeed, he was no longer the wimpy high schooler he once was. Instead, he had be a true tough guy, capable of taking on five opponts single-handedly. "The system is still powerful, eh? It can let me learn such skills directly. So in the future, is it possible that I could learn the talts of Lao Ai and Ji Xian?" It seemed not tirely out of the realm of possibility. Having be reborn, Li Zhiyan also wanted to be King of the Wheel. Sure ough, before long, he saw Gu Wanzhou, dressed in ck business attire, teamed with flesh-colored stockings and high heels, arriving at the park. "Aunt Gu really likes this kind of outfit, huh." As Li Zhiyan pondered in his heart, Gu Wanzhou had already approached him from not far away. Li Zhiyan could tell that Aunt Gu seemed to have a worried look on her face. Why was that... Could it be because of his confession to her? Li Zhiyan kept thinking in his heart, and time was getting closer and closer to 7:4 pm. The park had filled with quite a number of people. Once Gu Wanzhou arrived at the gazebo, she stared nkly at the fish jumping out of the artificialke''s water. She really had never imagined that one day an 8-year-old boy would confess his love to her. And yet, he was so sincere to her. Gu Wanzhou herself liked Li Zhiyan quite a lot, but not in the romantic sse; it was more an adult''s appreciation for a child. Precisely because of this, she had thought of taking him as a godson. But he persisted in wanting to be with her. Reject him? She couldn''t bear to hurt such a good kid, yet being together with him was an impossibility. Not just because he was only 8 years old and she was 3 years his sior, but also because he had once pursued her daughter Yu Sisi. All these factors doomed a non-starter betwe them. What was she to do? As her rtionship with him grew closer, the handling of this matter would surely be more and more troublesome in the future. Lost in thought, Gu Wanzhou spaced out. This kid really was both dearing and exasperating. "That little rascal... how dare he steal a kiss from me." Thinking back to that excessive incidt, Gu Wanzhou''s face heated up again. Until a guy with dyed yellow hair appeared before her. "Hey, beauty, let''s add each other on QQ, I feel a connection with you." Looking at the more than one-meter-eight tall guy with yellow hair and the deserted surings, Gu Wanzhou started feeling panicked. Chapter 26: 026 Li Zhiyan is so good at fighting! The area was secluded at night, and by now, Gu Wanzhou was regrettinging here alone. At that momt, she saw a figure already approaching her from not far away. Butpared to the nearly six-foot-tall Huang Mao, this person''s build was much smaller. Ev if she called for help, he surely wouldn''t dare to interfere. The person, of course, was Li Zhiyan, who had had his eyes on Huang Mao since thetter appeared. Li Zhiyan was a person with a strong possessive desire, and his possessivess towards Gu Wanzhou was very greedy. So, he couldn''t let Huang Mao have the chance to harass Aunt Gu under any circumstances. "I don''t want to add QQ." "Sorry, I could be your mother." Feeling somewhat panicked, Gu Wanzhou rejected Huang Mao, who was in front of her. "Beauty, just add me on QQ, mine is very big, I guarantee you won''t be disappointed." "I don''t mind your age, beauty, you look so young and pretty." "You''re just like the woman of my dreams." Saying so, Huang Mao made what he thought was a very cool non-mainstream gesture. "I have five hundred bucks here, take it and spd it, I really can''t add your QQ, Auntie." By now, Huang Mao waspletely ovee with lust. "Auntie, I just want your QQ, I want to sleep with you." "I want to push you down." "Auntie, you must be pretty lonely, right?" "I think you need my nourishmt." "I''ll definitely satisfy you, make you happy." Wh Gu Wanzhou felt disgusted by the filthy words, she was also very afraid. "I''m leaving." Gu Wanzhou turned to leave, feeling no sse of safety in this waterside pavilion. "Beauty, don''t go." As he spoke, Huang Mao reached out to grab Gu Wanzhou''s chest. Wow, so big, for such a top-notch mature woman. She needs to be properly cultivated, th she''ll realize my worth. If she''s obedit, I could just take care of her in the pavilion since there''s nobody a, saving the money for a hotel room. Frighted, Gu Wanzhou closed her eyes and began to back away, calling for help. Although she was a strong woman, she was still a woman, and at this momt, without the protection of social order, she was thoroughly panicked. "Get lost!" Li Zhiyan kicked hard at Huang Mao''s hand reaching for Gu Wanzhou, sding it flying. Huang Mao let out a scream of pain and saw his wrist swell up where it had be kicked. Li Zhiyan could never have dreamed that his legs could move so fast, so powerfully! The system was indeed invincible, and he looked forward ev more to the day he would be dubbed the Marquis of Changxin. In the midst of her screams, Gu Wanzhou heard the words "get lost" amidst her fear and shock. That voice, it sounded like Li Zhiyan''s! Xiao Yan, why would he be here? Wh she oped her eyes, indeed, she saw Li Zhiyan standing in front of her. Ev though he was slderpared to the 80-pound Huang Mao in front of him, at that momt, he gave Gu Wanzhou an unprecedted sse of safety. That feeling, as if as long as he was there, no one could harm her. "CNMD, do you want to die?" Huang Mao, who oft wt to middle and high schools nearby to block the way and collect protection money, had never be treated this way. Now, his wrist was swoll from a kick by a sevte or eighte-year-old kid, and he had lost face in front of such a beautiful mature woman. He couldn''t control his temper anymore. "Goodness." Gu Wanzhou pulled Li Zhiyan behind her, shielding him with her body, as she was very afraid that Huang Mao would hit Li Zhiyan. "I still have five hundred yuan in my bag, take it and leave us alone," she pleaded. As he stood behind Gu Wanzhou, Li Zhiyan''s heart was also full of gratitude; Aunt Gu was really good to him. "Aunt Gu, please stand back, it''s okay," he reassured her. Huang Mao existed in every era, and the ''s were a wild time. Li Zhiyan clearly remembered how thugs and ruffians were everywhere during that time. Back in his hometown, the town blocked the country road with tworge stones to prevt overloaded trucks from passing through. So the truck drivers raised the tire road with mud, creating slopes on both sides. After a truck could pass through smoothly, an uncle who lived at the trance of the vige shoveled away the mud, only to have his legs brok by the truck drivers. It was a case that wt unresolved. In that era, fights and brawls weremon; gang fights never ceased. This Huang Mao was only a small fry. Today was a good day for Li Zhiyan to stretch his limbs. This Huang Mao had dared to curse his mother. If he didn''t make Huang Mao bleed, he wouldn''t consider himself a man! Clching his fists, Li Zhiyan charged at Huang Mao, spun a, and delivered a flying kick straight at him. Huang Mao was caught off guard; he hadn''t expected this kid, much shorter and not ev in the same weight ss, would dare to hit him first! Moreover, the kid''s speed seemed unbelievably fast, giving him the illusion of watching a kung fu movie. The next second, he was hit. A piercing pain shot through his stomach as the kicknded with full force. Huang Mao was st sprawling to the g. Li Zhiyan rushed over and began to kick him fiercely. "That''s for cursing my mom!" "That''s for cursing my mom!" As a self-acknowledged ''mama''s boy,'' Li Zhiyan couldn''t tolerate anyone cursing his mother. He kept kicking Huang Mao''s stomach and face reltlessly. Soon, several of Huang Mao''s teeth were kicked out, his face now bruised and swoll. Watching Li Zhiyan violtly beating Huang Mao, Gu Wanzhou could never have dreamed that despite their size differce, Huang Mao was unable to beat Li Zhiyan! Could Xiao Yan really fight like this? But upon snapping back to reality, she quickly grabbed Li Zhiyan. "Stop it, be good, stop or you might kill someone! Let''s get out of here," she pleaded. Li Zhiyan also came out of that violt state, realizing he was only acting in self-defse to protect Aunt Gu. If he really killed the man, it would have be excessive defse. "Let''s go," he said. Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou by the hand. And they walked towards the park exit. ¡­ Twty minutester, the two stopped in a secluded street. Gu Wanzhou was still somewhat in shock. If Li Zhiyan hadn''t shown up, could she have be vited by Huang Mao? At the thought, a wave of fear washed over Gu Wanzhou. Breathing heavily, Gu Wanzhou anxiously asked, "Xiao Yan, let Aunt Gu check, are you hurt?" With that, she cradled Li Zhiyan''s face, looking for any injuries, while also feeling a his stomach and legs, checking if he was hurt anywhere. "Aunt Gu, I''m really fine, don''t worry," he assured her. Once sure that Li Zhiyan was alright, Gu Wanzhou hugged him tightly, very tightly. "My dear, you really scared me to death..." Feeling Aunt Gu''s 36D pressing against him, Li Zhiyan took the opportunity to wrap his arms a her waist. Such chances to be embraced willingly by Aunt Gu were indeed rare. Chapter 27: Auntie will seriously consider dating you! Aunt Gu truly has be blessed in an extraordinary way, sporting such a proud bust on such a slim frame. 36D, but if Aunt Gu were an Auntie Rao kind of D+. Walking would really be quite tiring. "Don''t be afraid anymore, Aunt Gu." "I''ve said we are fated to meet." "If you are ever in danger, I''ll definitely appear in time." The two of them held each other until Gu Wanzhou felt her face heat up and she separated from Li Zhiyan, noticing his change. This kid, although she regarded him as a child, he certainly wasn''t one. He had stol a kiss from herst time. "Now that you mtion it." "It does seem we are quite fated." Originally, Gu Wanzhou didn''t believe in fate at all. After all, such a far-fetched, ethereal thing¡ªwho could believe in it? But now, Gu Wanzhou suddly felt that maybe there really were some predetermined things at y. For instance, she had be busy all day and hade to the park on a whim to clear her mind. Li Zhiyan couldn''t possibly have known her whereabouts in advance, yet he showed up and saved her. And th there was the coincidce at the restaurant. Situations like these can only be exined by fate. If this isn''t fate, th what is? "I told you, Aunt Gu, you and I are destined, you are meant to be my girlfrid." "The two of us are meant to be together." Looking at Li Zhiyan''s serious expression. Gu Wanzhou realized that this matter really wasn''t that easy to handle. The bond betwe her and Li Zhiyan was bing deeper, and today he had saved her again. Cutting ties with him was simply impossible now. How wonderful it would be if Li Zhiyan were willing to consider her his godmother, that would solve all the problems. Now, she really didn''t know what to do. "Sweetie, howe you fight so well? That thug was at least six feet tall and bulky." "How did you manage to beat him?" "Did you practice Sanda before?" Li Zhiyan looked at Gu Wanzhou and said, "Aunt Gu, I hav''t practiced Sanda, I wasn''t thinking too much at the momt, I just wanted to protect you, and besides, he insulted my mom, I had to fight him with all I had." Gu Wanzhou''s heart ached for Li Zhiyan, childr from single-part families td to fiercely protect the ones they love. The momt he stood in front of her, she would never forget for the rest of her life. In this life, she and Li Zhiyan really had an inextricable connection. "Your mom is truly fortunate to have such a good son like you." "If only I had a son like you." The two kept walking, Gu Wanzhou still hinting at wanting to be Li Zhiyan''s godmother. If she could take Li Zhiyan as her godson, th all the difficulties could be easily resolved. "Aunt Gu, I know what you want to say." "You still want to take me as your godson, right?" "Two bottles of Sprite." As they passed by a small shop, Li Zhiyan casually took out some coins and bought two bottles of Sprite. After oping one of them, he handed it to Gu Wanzhou. "However, you really don''t need to insist on taking me as your godson, because if we be mother and son, th there''s no possibility of us being together, you''d be locking out a pottial future life." "Do you remember what I told you?" Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but think of the movie line Li Zhiyan had mtioned before. Again, she was astounded by Li Zhiyan''s talt. This kid''s talt was truly remarkable. At the same time, she pondered if she truly lost all possibility of being with Li Zhiyan and instead became his mother, would she feel a sse of loss? Somehow, an ufortable feeling arose in her heart. That seemed... not quite right. Thinking back to the time wh Li Zhiyan massaged her leg. Her face began to feel hot, this kid''s hands seemed truly magical. "Darling," "You just beat that guy up like that, are you okay?" Gu Wanzhou changed the subject. "It''s fine, Aunt Gu." "There are hardly any cameras a, no evidce to find." "Plus, he attempted to harass you first, I was just doing the right thing." "And the ce is quite far from your home, as long as you don''t go there alone at night, it should be fine." The reason this era is so wild is because there ar''t ough cameras, and the inte doesn''t have ough reach. In the year ''4, in big cities like Wanchg. All sorts of road intersections have cameras; if you really do something bad, you basically can''t get away with it. "Hmm, that''s good th." As they walked, Li Zhiyan suddly took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. This made Gu Wanzhou''s whole body tremble. Holding hands, that was something only couples did. Yet, she felt as though she didn''t have the courage to pull away from Li Zhiyan. "Darling, this isn''t right, you know, there''s a differce betwe m and wom." Looking at Gu Wanzhou''s somewhat resistant attitude, Li Zhiyan said, "Aunt Gu, don''t you think of me as just a child?" "No one''s a now, can''t a child hold hands with an elder? Ar''t you being too ssitive? Or do you see me as a man who could be in a rtionship?" Gu Wanzhou wanted to let go of Li Zhiyan''s hand, but after hearing him say this. She simply let Li Zhiyan hold her hand. Right, she only thought of him as a child, nothing more. Letting a child hold her hand wasn''t a problem, but despite thinking this, images of Li Zhiyan touching her thigh kept surfacing in her mind. And the matter of the kid sneaking kisses and sticking out his tongue. "Aunt Gu." Holding Gu Wanzhou''s smooth hand, Li Zhiyan felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He was finally making progress with Aunt Gu; at least now he could hold hands wh no one was a. This was the first step to pulling the big cart! "Please give me a chance to be in a rtionship with you, I truly like you." "If you are willing to be in a rtionship with me, I will be sincerely devoted to you." In hisst life, Li Zhiyan expericed too much coldness from people, so in this life, he only wanted to protect those who were truly kind to him. Gu Wanzhou was definitely one of them. Looking into Li Zhiyan''s eyes, Gu Wanzhou was about to keep refusing. But, the rect evts with Li Zhiyan kept echoing in Gu Wanzhou''s heart. For a momt, she couldn''t find the words to refuse. This kid was actually really nice, and she truly didn''t have the heart to crush her. "Okay¡­ Alright, Auntie will seriously consider it, the matter of dating you." "But don''t keep your hopes up. After all, I''m old ough to be your mother, ev the mother of one of your ssmates." Gu Wanzhouforted herself internally, just considering it, merely considering it, that''s all. She wouldn''t actually agree to him. Chapter 28: 028 New Mission Although Gu Wanzhou said she would "think about it," Li Zhiyan knew that this was already a significant breakthrough. As long as she considered it, she would be continuously pushed forward. In the d, she would be with him. "Okay, Aunt Gu, let me take you home." Gu Wanzhou nodded; for some reason, her face was getting hotter by the momt. The night was dark, and shadows lurking in the darkness seemed to hide many dangers, with wild cats asionally darting back and forth. In the past, such a situation would have made Gu Wanzhou feel fearful and scared. But now, with Li Zhiyan by her side, all she felt was a sse of safety filling her heart. "By the way, dear, Auntie has decided to buy the house." "Rectly, I''ve se a few nice ones, just as an investmt." "What you saidst time was really good." "The more Auntie thinks about it, the more it makes sse." Li Zhiyan confidtly said, "Don''t worry, the price of the house is definitely going up." "Anyway, by the time school starts, you should see some return on the investmt." "The price of housing in the future is bound to change every day." Walking hand in hand, several passersby gave Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou strange looks. This guy''s really lucky with wom! In fact, there are many people in society who fancy married and mature wom. They just don''t dare to say it out loud. This kind of gaze made Gu Wanzhou feel somewhat ufortable. "Dear, is it strange for us to hold hands like this?" "No worries, Aunt Gu, they probably think you''re my mom, holding hands betwe mother and son is very normal, right?" Hearing Li Zhiyan say this, Gu Wanzhou''s heart felt at ease. Actually, arge age differce can sometimes be a good thing; people won''t think about it in terms of romance. After all, a rtionship betwe an 8-year-old young man and a 4-year-old woman is somewhat absurd. It was only after they had reached the trance of the housingplex hand in hand that Gu Wanzhou said, "Dear, let go of Auntie''s hand." "There are many acquaintances in theplex." "It wouldn''t be good if people saw us." Li Zhiyan let go of Gu Wanzhou''s hand. Continuing like this would indeed be improper. "Alright, Aunt Gu," "I''ll walk you down th head home." Side by side, they arrived at the foot of the apartmt building, and Li Zhiyan hugged her before Gu Wanzhou could react. "Aunt Gu, goodbye." "Goodbye..." The warmth on Gu Wanzhou''s face never faded away. Upstairs, Yu Sisi, who had just arrived at the window, saw her mom saying goodbye to a man. She felt a bit puzzled. Her mom couldn''t possibly be thinking about dating, could she? ... Wh Li Zhiyan got home, the lights were still on, and Zhou Rongrong was sitting in the living room waiting for him to return. Seeing his mom under the orange glow of the light, Li Zhiyan''s heart felt warm. The smell of a burning coal stove wafted from the kitch, obviously his mom fearing he would be hungry, had prepared a meal for him. "Xiao Yan, are you hungry?" "Mom made you some chick and mushroom stew, it''s warming on the stove." Li Zhiyan hummed in response; he was indeed a bit hungry now. After changing his shoes, he sat at the dining table like a good baby, waiting for his mom''s cooking. Once she had served the dishes, the steamed buns, and the chilled mung bean soup, Zhou Rongrong curiously asked, "Son, that girl you dated, she must like you a lot, right?" "You used to ask mom if, being so ordinary, you would have a girl willing to stay with you for life." "Here it is," Zhou Rongrong''s gaze and words were filled with a mother''s love. "Mom, it''s still too early for that, please don''t ask so many questions. Anyway, I''ll definitely bring my girlfrid to meet you in the future," The one he could bring home for mom to see was surely Su Mgch. Ev though his mom said she didn''t care, if he really brought Gu Wanzhou or Rao Shi Yun home, he guessed it could very well kill her with anger. "Alright, th I''ll wait to meet my daughter-inw!" "Mom''s going to bed now, I still have to work tomorrow. Just leave the dishes on the table after you''re done, and I''ll clean up wh I wake up in the morning," Watching his mother''s back as she returned to her room, Li Zhiyan felt profoundly satisfied. The feeling of having someone waiting for you wh youe home, it was truly blissful, blissful indeed. ... After returning to his room, Li Zhiyan turned on his fan, and the cool breeze blew over him. He felt incrediblyfortable, casually turning on hisputer while checking his message notifications. The system''s reward of fifty thousand yuan had be deposited into his ount. "Now I have savings of 30,000 yuan, one step closer to bing a millionaire," "This is really like picking up money." "Let''s see if the system tasks have refreshed." As expected, the system tasks had be refreshed. "The day after tomorrow night, Lew Huan is colluding with a few business partners to get Rao Shi Yun drunk at a dinner party and take the opportunity to bring her to a hotel room." "Please prevt Lew Huan''s conspiracy." "And find a way to kiss Rao Shi Yun on the lips." "Task reward, sevty thousand yuan in cash." "Skill, Wine God learning in progress." "Wine God skill, once learning isplete, you will not get drunk no matter how much you drink." "No drunkard can be a match for you." "Receive, Lew Huan''s wife''s cell phone number is as follows." Li Zhiyan was somewhat excited, as the skills provided by the system were still very powerful. Regarding Rao Shi Yun having a dinner party again, Li Zhiyan wasn''t surprised. People in business, if not attding drinking parties every day, th definitely every three to five days¡ªafter all, China is a rtionship-orited society, and as of t years ago, the drinking culture was still very prevalt. "Wine God skill! This is so practical, if I were to mix with the system in the future, I''d definitely be invincible." "And what''s up with Lew Huan''s wife''s phone number?" However, Li Zhiyan thought Lew Huan''s wife must be beautiful. After all, Lew Huan was quite handsome, and those who are good-looking and rtively wealthy definitely wouldn''t have an ugly wife. "But..." "This task of kissing Auntie Rao is a bit tricky, it''s ev on the lips!" "Looks like I need to n this out carefully." "If there''s a task to breastfeed in the future, that would really be a headache." ... Late at night, Gu Wanzhouy in her bed, tossing and turning restlessly. Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions, seemingly a flutter of emotional disturbance. The sudd appearance of this kid, Li Zhiyan, truly threw her off bnce. "Xiao Yan, why do you like an older woman like your aunt?" In her mind, the sce of Li Zhiyan saving her today echoed incessantly. Although the kid was only 8, the sce where he stood in front of her beating up the guy over six feet tall, Huang Mao, really made her feel so safe. As she thought about it, Gu Wanzhou felt a surge of emotion within her. In the moonlight, she looked at her long and fair fingers. Gu Wanzhou slowly got up, oped the bedside table, and found the nail clippers. She began to trim her middle fingernail. Chapter 29: 029 The class leaders mother is very beautiful Gu Wanzhou''s fingers were very slder. And they were fair and wless, looking like a beautiful piece of art under the moonlight. Gtly trimming her right hand''s middle fingernail, she was quite satisfied. For her, trimming the middle finger was ough. ... The next day, because there were no system tasks, Li Zhiyan became much more rxed, soaking in the Inte caf¨¦ with Li Shiyu and grinding away at the dungeon, savoring the time that belonged uniquely to youth. Now, he was starting to like these summer days filled with the sct of mature wom and the freshness of youth ev more. Having the system was great, allowing him to indulge in his favorite loafing lifestyle to the fullest. The average reborn individual would have to constantly look out for this opportunity or that, too exhausting. Life without a brain is the mostfortable. At noon, after Li Shiyu bought two servings of egg fried rice from the opposite side, his wallet was nearly emptied. After buying a bottle of Coke and mineral water, he handed the ice-cold Coke to Li Zhiyan. "What, you don''t drink Coke?" "I''m tired of it." Li Zhiyan could easily see through the kid''s pretse. "All right, take it." Taking out five hundred yuan from his pocket, Li Zhiyan ced it right in front of Li Shiyu. The two kids nearby surfing the revealed a glow of vy in their eyes. "Brother Yan, you didn''t steal the money from your aunt, did you?" "Don''t scare me, man. I don''t want to see you strung up on the ceiling fan and whipped with a belt." Li Zhiyan knew all too well what five hundred yuan meant to a studt! "Forget it, that''s not something my mom would do." "You keep it and spd it. Just pay me backter. I''ve be doing some trantion work rectly and made several ts of thousands of yuan." "You''re so gerous with me, how could you possibly treat me unfairly?" Li Shiyu''s eyes wided, his mind filled with only four words: Brother Yan is awesome! Ev a year''s worth of fireworks is only 76! How many years of fireworks could that buy! "Brother Yan, you really didn''t do anything illegal, right? With your English level, I should know. And you wt to be a trantor!" "Who can''t speak a few English phrases? What kind of trantor makes ts of thousands? Is it a legitimate trantion job?" Th, Li Zhiyan gave Li Shiyu a demonstration of his Frch on the spot. "Frch trantion, just trust me on this." At that momt, in the eyes of Li Zhiyan''s best buddy, there was only admiration. "So it turns out Brother Yan is the true dragon hidd in our ss!" "What Liu Zifg, he''s nothing!" "With your skills, you could definitely seed chasing after Yu Sisi!" Li Zhiyan realized that it was really hard to change the mindset of a fawner in an instant. "Stop obsessing over Yu Sisi all the time. I''m not chasing Yu Sisi now; I''m after Yu Sisi''s mom." Li Shiyu nodded thoughtfully. "That''s the best revge on Yu Sisi! But, that rich and handsome guy in our ss, Liu Zifg, also has a beef with you." "Why don''t you chase after Liu Zifg''s mom?" Li Zhiyan casually said, "I''ll chase after Liu Zifg''s mom too." "You''re the man!" "And there''s also the ss monitor''s mom, that jerk Liu Yaolong, he''s not be easy on us." In truth, because his family had no money for bribes, the homeroom teacher made life difficult for him all the time. Liu Yaolong was the bootlicker who gave the most gifts. He was naturally the first to make life hard for himself, constantly assigning himself extra cleaning duties. Ev making himself sweep under the teaching building, and every time, Li Shiyu would siltly pick up the broom and join him to sweep the floor together. It was all because he was afraid of being too lonely by himself. "Have you ever se Yao Long''s mom?" "Yeah, his mom came to our school once to deliver study materials to Yao Long, but you seemed to have tak a day off that day because you had a fever. She''s incredibly beautiful." Upon hearing the words ''incredibly beautiful'', Li Zhiyan etched the image of the ss leader''s mom in his mind. "Caf¨¦ manager, five bottles of ice-cold Coke." After Li Zhiyan called out, the caf¨¦ manager brought over five bottles of ice-cold Coke, and Li Zhiyan handed over a 0-yuan bill. "Drink up, the afternoon is still young; carve away at it." In a lifetime, one may not have many true frids. If one had a close frid, Li Zhiyan felt very contt, after all, not everyone was willing to sell their car to help him out. At that momt, Li Zhiyan saw Jiang Xian walk in, dressed in a loose T-shirt and a ck bodycon skirt. "Teacher''s wife, you''re at the inte caf¨¦ looking for someone again." "Yeah." Jiang Xian also noticed the hundred-yuan bill on Li Shiyu''s table. Since he joyed the vious looks from the elemtary school kids nearby from time to time, Li Shiyu hadn''t put the money away. "Li Shiyu, have you struck it rich? That''s a lot of money." In 0, for studts, this was indeed a significant sum of money. "Not at all, Teacher''s wife, this is money Brother Yan loaned me." Hearing that Li Zhiyan lt so much money to Li Shiyu, Jiang Xian was quite curious. "Li Zhiyan, have you be doing part-time work?" Jiang Xian knew about Li Zhiyan''s family being poor and having trouble with gift-giving and that he was being made difficulties by her husband. She had mtioned to Y Zhgjin many times not to treat Li Zhiyan this way, as it really wasn''t easy for a single-part family. However, Y Zhgjin still did as he pleased, paying her no mind, and there was nothing she could do. After all, she couldn''t possibly fall out with her husband over a studt. "Teacher''s wife, my Brother Yan is really amazing. He self-studied Frch and worked as a trantor. He''s made over a hundred thousand yuan!" Li Zhiyan: "..." What happed to a few ts of thousands, wh did it be over a hundred thousand? His own savings wer''t ev 30,000 yet. "Frch!" With her exceptionally pale skin, Jiang Xian looked at Li Zhiyan and her eyes also showed a hint of surprise. Li Shiyu was an honest and sincere person, certainly not one to boast. Li Zhiyan was just 8, and had already made over a hundred thousand yuan, and that too by using Frch. This was really too talted, something she had never noticed before. "Li Zhiyan, do you really know Frch?" "Yes, Teacher''s wife. I''m self-taught, and I''ve be working as a trantor rectly." "Xiao Yan, you''re truly amazing." Jiang Xian''s tone was noticeably much more thusiastic. Looking at this studt, she felt that in the future, wh she had nothing to do, she should chat with him on QQ. At 8 years old, to be able to earn over a hundred thousand, his prospects were boundless. After Jiang Xian left, Li Shiyu earnestly said, "I think our ss adviser is your emy, too." "Why don''t you pursue the Teacher''s wife th? This is the best opportunity to get back at that son of a bitch!" Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but smack him on the head. Ever since he brought him up to a floor in the bathhouse, the Martial Soul True Body of the Bath Emperor had indeed made aeback! Oh! If that guy''s brain were left out, you''d probably find not ev a single brain cell. All filled with RMVB... "So, the best way to get revge on someone I have a grudge against is to score with their moms or their wives, right?" Li Shiyu nodded seriously. "I think it makes sse because it would cause the greatest psychological harm to your emies!" "And, I truly think the Teacher''s wife is very beautiful." "It would be a waste if you didn''t make a move!" "Brother Yan, make your move and score the Teacher''s wife!" Chapter 30: 030 Does this child really want me to feed him? Li Shiyu''s exnation was getting more and more abstract. But for some reason, Li Zhiyan felt like he was making a lot of sse. Take down the emy''s mother. Wasn''t that a surefire magic attack with critical damage? No wonder he and Li Shiyu could be such close buddies. "Alright, pack away your money properly, don''t embarrass yourself." "Ar''t you still nning to buy that Nepalese kukri?" "Go ahead and buy it." At this momt, Li Shiyu was also a bit bewildered. "Huh?" "A Nepalese kukri, one hundred and fifty a year, isn''t that too extravagant?" "If I tell you to buy it, just buy it, quit your yapping." ... The next day, as usual, Li Zhiyan was ying video games with Li Shiyu at the inte cafe. In the afternoon, he removed the cover and battery of his cellphone, inserted a newly acquired SIM card, and st a message to Lew Huan''s wife. "Mrs. Lew, your husband Lew Huan ns to get ady named Rao Shi Yun drunk tonight in the Phoix Restaurant''s No. 999 VIP room with the inttion of taking advantage of her, for your information." After sding the message, Li Zhiyan swapped back to his own SIM card and th slipped the other SIM card into his pocket. In this era, getting a SIM card was an incredibly easy task, no idtification card needed, you could just go to a service cter and get it done. Consequtly, an anonymously purchased SIM card, if lost, was as good as gone for good. Th, he oped QQ and st a message to Rao Shi Yun. "Auntie Rao, what are you up to?" Today, Rao Shi Yun was spding her afternoon in her bedroom, ying a little game on Tct Home with her phone, waiting for the eving''s drinking party. Suddly, her QQ notification chimed. People of her age rarely used QQ, and Rao Shi Yun was no exception; her QQ only had some rtives and frids, apart from the rectly added Li Zhiyan. Curiosity piqued, Rao Shi Yun oped the QQ app on her phone. Could it be a message from that kid Li Zhiyan? Indeed! Upon oping QQ, Rao Shi Yun saw the message Li Zhiyan had st her. This gave her quite the pleasant surprise. Deep down, she really liked the boy Li Zhiyan. "Auntie is at home. Are you thinking of making me your godmother?" Li Zhiyan: "Better not, I''ve already called you ''Mom'' once, that should suffice." Rao Shi Yun: "Hehe, just kidding with you." Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Rao, can you not use the word ''hehe''?" Rao Shi Yun: "Why not?" Li Zhiyan: "Because it sounds like cursing." Rao Shi Yun, lying on her bed, was puzzled. Like cursing? Everyone uses ''hehe'' wh chatting, how is it rted to cursing? Rao Shi Yun: "Okay, I won''t say it from now on." "By the way, you rascal, I have a dinner party tonight." "Do you want to join? Auntie will treat you to some good food." "Lobster, abalone, everything you can think of." Sitting in the inte cafe, Li Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief, Auntie Rao had invited him herself. With this, he could save himself the trouble of staging a coincidtal meeting at the restaurant. It also meant one less hassle to deal with. However, the troublesome part of the task still involved kissing Auntie Rao. Auntie Rao had always wanted to take him as her son, and thinking about kissing her made him wonder if it was too wicked. But for sevty thousand yuan, he was willing to risk it! Completing this task would mean his savings would officially break through the two-hundred-thousand mark. Li Zhiyan: "Sure, Auntie Rao." Rao Shiyun: "Kid, what are you doing right now?" Li Zhiyan: "I''m at the inte cafe right now." Rao Shiyun: "Are you learning to code?" Li Zhiyan: "No, Auntie Rao, I''ve already learned coding." "Today, I''m just ying games." Rao Shiyun: "Let me pick you up." "Come sit at my ce." "You''ve never be to my house before, right?" Seeing Rao Shiyun''s invitation, Li Zhiyan''s heart also surged with strong interest at that momt. He had be to Aunt Gu''s house before because, in pursuit of Yu Sisi, he was caught by Gu Wanzhou wh he escorted her home. She had invited him to her house and had a long chat with him about Yu Sisi. But Rao Shiyun was someone he got to know after his rebirth. He didn''t ev recall Liu Zifg having such a voluptuous and stunningly beautiful mother before. He really hadn''t be to her house. Li Zhiyan: "Okay." Rao Shiyun: "Which inte cafe are you at? I''lle to pick you up." Li Zhiyan: "Fantasy Inte Cafe." Rao Shiyun: "Okay." After ding the chat with Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan resumed idly chatting online with Gu Wanzhou. Li Shiyu also noticed that Li Zhiyan was always chatting with wom, which made him quite vious. A capable man really was differt. He guessed he could only have heart-to-hearts with the technicians during appointmts. But actually, that was pretty good too. ... After putting away her phone, Rao Shiyun oped her wardrobe to pick out clothes. In the d, she chose a light blue, gauze-ured, one-piece short dress. Looking at her own snow-, voluptuous legs and that mature, charming face in the mirror. Rao Shiyun was very satisfied with her appearance for the day. She wondered if Li Zhiyan would like it. Inexplicably, she thought of the time wh Li Zhiyan confessed his feelings for Gu Wanzhou. She had first tak a deep impression of Li Zhiyan after countering her son''s female ssmate, who told her about Li Zhiyan''s public confession to Gu Wanzhou during a ss reunion. At that time, she was surprised by the kid''s courage, but she didn''t think much of it. It wasn''t until she got to know Li Zhiyan that she really fell for this extremely talted boy. "Li Zhiyan must have a fixation," she thought. "He likes wom who could be his mother. Does he have any thoughts about me?" Rao Shiyun''s mind was filled with wild thoughts. The image of herst hug with Li Zhiyan. Uncontrobly surfaced in her mind, and at that momt, ev though Li Zhiyan was bding over as much as he could. She could still feel it clearly! The kid obviously had a reaction to her! "Could this kid really be thinking of having my..." Bizarre thoughts emerged, and Rao Shiyun''s face turned somewhat red. She looked especially alluring. A mature woman, who had be refined by life''s experices, had long reached the pinnacle of feminine allure. Especially someone like Rao Shiyun¡ªan outstanding mature woman¡ªblushing. For someone like Li Zhiyan, who had a thing for mature wom, it was deadly attractive. Afterward, she berated herself for her wild thoughts. "Instinct... That''s just the instinct betwe a man and a woman." "It doesn''t mean anything..." Sitting down in front of the vanity, Rao Shiyun checked her makeup, th began to touch it up. She didn''t realize that she was now particrly atttive to her appearance in front of Li Zhiyan. Chapter 31: 031 Does Li Zhiyan have an Audi A6 at home? After getting his imagepletely sorted out, Rao Shi Yun looked at herself in the mirror, and only wh she was satisfied did she stand up and leave the house. Her son, it seemed, didn''t get along well with Li Zhiyan, but with her son not at home, it spared her a lot of trouble. ... Li Zhiyan and his buddies continued to grind the Sky City dungeon in the gaming cafe. Li Shiyu had be quite thusiastic these past few days; he was nning to level up all five of his alternate ounts. With nothing better to do, Li Zhiyan kept himpany in grinding levels, while waiting for Rao Shi Yun to pick him up. But instead of Auntie Rao showing up, Li Zhiyan heard a somewhat familiar voice. It was the ss monitor, Liu Yaolong, whose sarcastic tone could be recognized from miles away. "Wang Xinyue, really, you don''t need to bother with that loser Li Shiyu anymore. He uses some crappy second-hand phone with a brok scre and hangs a that loser Li Zhiyan every day." "A pair of losers, always knowing nothing but to y games in the inte cafe. Isn''t this just embarrassing? If you stay with Li Shiyu, forget about having any good days ahead." "Give it a few days, I''ll ask my dad to bring over his Audi A4. I''ll take you for a spin; I''ve already got my driver''s licse." Li Shiyu was a bit stunned, damn it. He was just ying a game and could hear Liu Yaolong dissing him. Li Zhiyan was also somewhat speechless; he was truly an innoct bystander getting shot. Young people can be so sseless, pretding to be something they''re not, saying low-level things. If this were before his rebirth, he would have definitely gott into a fight with him. The ss monitor, Wang Xinyue, and a few other ssmates that Li Zhiyan didn''t recognize had juste in, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Liu Yaolong did not expect to run into these two just as he tered the inte cafe, while he was dissing them. He had intded to show off in front of Wang Xinyue today. He didn''t expect to counter the very people he was talking about right at the trance. After a few seconds of awkward atmosphere, Wang Xinyue said with a smile, "The ss monitor didn''t mean that, we are all losers here, not insulting anyone." The term "loser" doesn''t really count as an insult nowadays. Back in 0, the Baidu forums were exceptionally popr! Baidu hadn''t be the lesser brother it waster on. And among the forums, the Emperor Bar was extremely popr across the tire inte. The frids from the forum liked to call themselves the original losers. Li Zhiyan used to like calling himself that too. However, wh this wordes out from someone else''s mouth, it''s obviously an insult. "Enough already, the ss monitor has always be this cheap-mouthed, I''m used to it." Li Shiyu had be a lot bolder since he''d be to the bath cter, and he didn''t feel like fawning over Wang Xinyue anymore. It''s the masseuse sisters who could have a heart-to-heart! "But yes, I am a loser, I admit it. But Brother Yan, a loser? Do you ev deserve topare yourself with Brother Yan?" "Liu Yaolong, you don''t think you''re on the same level as Brother Yan, do you?" "What''s your worth?" Since Liu Yaolong was being so tantly offsive, Li Shiyu naturally wasn''t going to be a pushover. Li Zhiyan looked across, ready to clean them up if they were looking for a fight. In these wild times, if they wanted to be wild, he would be wilder! Seeing the tsion rise on both sides, Wang Xinyue became worried that a fight might break out. Everyone was an adult now, and there was no longer the get-out-of-jail-free card of being a minor. If a real fight urred, they''d be tak to the police station. They were all ssmates, and it would be bad if things escted to that point. She th spoke up, trying to mediate the situation. Liu Yaolong and his mates powered on theirputers and moved to the other side. Although Liu Yaolong''s face showed he was a bit upset, he still held back. After reaching adulthood, indeed, one should not gage in fights recklessly. There used to be a time wh he fought with Li Zhiyan because Li Zhiyan refused to clean the toilets on hismand. Despite his height of .83 meters, he didn''t gain much of an advantage. Liu Zifg had ev ganged up on Li Zhiyan before. But Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu just grabbed Liu Zifg and beat him hard by themselves. Ev after taking dozs of punches, they firmly held onto Liu Zifg without letting go. Watching these brothers fight really intimidated him, and ev though he brought a few people over, if a fight really broke out, the two of them would definitely single him out for a beating. Wang Xinyue gave him a way out. So he took it. "So childish." "Look at him, still wanting to fight. He''s a grown man, he should be more mature. What kind of future can someone have behaving like a child all the time? In this society, what matters for a man is having money." Seeing Liu Yaolong back down, Li Zhiyan didn''t bother with him either and continued ying his game. As for those childish remarks, he was used to them. Wh he was younger, he was actually much more childish than that. After all, he used to always talk about his dream of bing a millionaire. Meanwhile, Wang Xinyue''s gaze asionally stealthily shifted to Li Zhiyan. She always felt that the currt Li Zhiyan was somewhat differt from before, but couldn''t quite put her finger on what exactly had changed. What did Li Shiyu mean wh he said Liu Yaolong wasn''t fit topare with Li Zhiyan? Before long, Rao Shiyun''s Audi A6 stopped at the trance of the inte caf¨¦, and she honked the horn. She didn''t get out of the car; she wasn''t too fond of such ces, as they tded to be the gathering spots of wayward youths. She was quite averse to people frequting inte cafes. Of course, Li Zhiyan was the exception; that kid came to the inte caf¨¦ to self-learn programming! "Li Shiyu, log off myputer wh you leave," she said. After quitting QQ and logging out of the game, Li Zhiyan finally left the inte caf¨¦. The system in the caf¨¦ at that time, if not rebooted, would keep the next user logged into QQ and the games, all still online. Li Zhiyan had expericed the tragedy of having his hard-earned sergeant rank and his AN94 gun destroyed. "Okay." Watching Li Zhiyan op the passger door of the Audi A6, Li Shiyu felt a surge of smug satisfaction! He figured that this was probably to hire Brother Yan as a Frch trantor! It''s great to be talted! He had be harboring some restmt, but now he felt his spirits lift, his annoyance blown away! Liu Yaolong also saw with his own eyes Li Zhiyan getting into a ck Audi A6. His brain was in a bit of a daze. Wasn''t Li Zhiyan just a loser? Howe he was now in an Audi A6! His own dad only drove an Audi A4! Just a momt ago he was showing off with an Audi A4, saying that what matters for a man is having money. But in the blink of an eye, the boomerang he threw came back to hit him, striking him right in the throat. Wang Xinyue lost interest in theputer dance game as well; she had truly never imagined that Li Zhiyan''s mode of transportation would be an Audi A6. Did his family really own this car? Wh Li Zhiyan oped the door, Wang Xinyue saw a beautiful woman wearing sunsses, who must be Li Zhiyan''s mother! Could he be a hidd rich second geration? This car was way more prestigious than any Audi A4. It seemed that Li Shiyu knew something, from the disdainful tone, he spoke with earlier. Clearly, he believed Liu Yaolong stood no chance against Li Zhiyan. This Audi A6 clearly belonged to Li Zhiyan. In 0, a regr family typically didn''t own a car at all, an A6 posed a significant psychological impact on Wang Xinyue. It looked like Li Shiyu knew something. Chapter 32: 032 Auntie Rao, let me drink for you. He closed the car door, and the cold air inside the car blew on his face, making Li Zhiyan feel veryfortable. "Auntie Rao, I''ve never be to your home." Li Zhiyan was extremely interested in Rao Shi Yun''s bedroom. "Th Auntie will take you to see her home now." "Buckle up." The more Rao Shi Yun looked at Li Zhiyan sitting beside her, the more she liked him. She watched the Audi A6 drive away. Wang Xinyue came over and sat down next to Li Shiyu. "Li Shiyu, do you know something? Is this car Li Zhiyan''s family''s?" Looking at his once-upon-a-time goddess, Li Shiyu felt rather indiffert. t-chested, ah, the sister from the bath cter had the real goods in terms of bust size. "Of course, this is Brother Yan''s family''s car, he earned over a hundred thousand during the summer vacation." He was casually bragging, yet it made Wang Xinyue''s eyes light up. Making over a hundred thousand during summer vacation? It seems he was helping with his family business. ¡­ After arriving at Rao Shi Yun''s home, Li Zhiyan also looked a. This is Liu Zifg''s home, huh. I definitely have to visit his hometown. While Rao Shi Yun was changing into slippers, Li Zhiyan took the chance to admire her shapely behind. It had to be said, a voluptuous woman''s proportions, be it bust or hips, were truly astonishing. "Auntie Rao, your home is really big." Rao Shi Yun came to the water dispser and poured a ss of mineral water for Li Zhiyan. "Make yourselffortable." "Wh it''s time, Auntie will take you to the banquet." "Auntie Rao, where is your bedroom?" Hearing Li Zhiyan''s interest in her room, Rao Shi Yun couldn''t help but let her thoughts wander; the boy had never wanted to recognize her as his godmother, could he be intding to make a move? "Auntie''s bedroom is the master bedroom, I''ll take you for a tour." Rising from the sofa, Rao Shi Yun led Li Zhiyan into the bedroom. Looking a, as soon as Li Zhiyan tered, he saw Rao Shi Yun''s photo on the dressing table. That photo of Rao Shi Yun truly captivated Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Rao, is this a photo from your youth?" "Yes, back th Auntie was only 3 years old, just married." Li Zhiyan stared at the photo and scrutinized it closely. At that time, Rao Shi Yun was obviously not as voluptuous as now, but her mature charm and beauty were already appart. "Does uncle not stay at home oft?" Li Zhiyan asked casually, noticing the room seemed tock any m''s clothing. Rao Shi Yun discreetly tucked away therge-size ck brassiere from the clothes rack into her wardrobe. "Your uncle and I are divorced." "We temporarily divorced due to some risks with hispany." "After that, we had argumts and hav''t remarried since; he''s now doing business in Sucity." "However, he might remarry me after returning from Sucity this year." Hearing this, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help feeling a sse of urgcy. Auntie Rao remarrying? That won''t do; I hav''t made my move yet. If she remarries, th there will truly be no chance. Liu Zifg, Tian Wjing! "What a pity." "Now, Auntie has aged, andpared to before, the differce is really too great." Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, shepared her currt self in the mirror to the one in the photo. At this momt, Rao Shi Yun also felt a touch of nostalgia; time flies quickly. Before you know it, she was already 4 years old. "Aunt Gu, actually, I think being 4 is quite nice. You have more charm now, and your figure is ev better." Li Zhiyan''s praise noticeably improved Rao Shi Yun''s mood. This kid, it seems like he favors mature wom, 0 years his sior, which perfectly suits his taste. What exactly is his thoughts towards me? ¡­ In the eving, the two set out for the Phoix Restaurant. All along the way, Li Zhiyan kept admiring Auntie Rao''s formidable bosom. After arriving at private room 999, the first person Li Zhiyan saw was Li Meifg. "Li Zhiyan, you''re here too!" "Come on, take a seat, Shiyun, you and Li Zhiyan seem really close. You must have nursed him a lot, huh?" "I guess Xiao Yan doesn''t need to eat anymore; with such a godmother to nurse him daily, he must be well-fed at every meal." Rao Shi Yun''s delicate hand was clched slightly; that woman was really getting bolder and bolder. With so many people a, all she talked about was feeding milk. "Stop talking nonsse." "Always spouting nonsse in front of the kids." After the two sat down, Lew Huan on the opposite side was somewhat irritated. He hadn''t expected to counter this kid he loathed the most again, the one who ruined his nsst time. He had nned to get Rao Shi Yun drunk today and make the uncooked rice into cooked rice. But to his surprise, this kid followed them again. Thinking that the kid would not be able to drink, he slowly calmed down. He decided to sideline himter and knock him down with a single drink. He would let him understand the treachery of the liquor table. "Everyone, this is the Boss Rao I mtioned to you all. Boss Rao''spany has a very broad range of business. Let''s all have a few drinks with Boss Rao tonight, and look forward to more cooperation with her in the future," Most of the people prest were more familiar with Lew Huan, and they understood his inttions. So they all cooperated with Lew Huan. "Good, I will rely on everyone''s care in the future." The culture of drinking at business gatherings is prevalt; to do good business, drinking is inevitable. Rao Shi Yun''s alcohol tolerance was also quite good. As long as she controlled it, she would be fine. However, what she didn''t know was that Lew Huan had set her up deliberately, intding to get her drunk. "Shiyun,e on, let me toast to you first." Lew Huan oped a bottle of Maotai, poured himself a full cup, and after standing up, he downed it in one gulp. That''s not good... At this momt, Rao Shi Yun felt that this might be directed at her. But she couldn''t just not drink, especially since Lew Huan had downed his drink. Face had to be giv at the liquor table; after all, personal emotions shouldn''t interfere with business. After lifting her cup and drinking it down, Rao Shi Yun felt the alcohol''s effect beginning to hit her. Drinking with one gulp and sipping little by little are twopletely differt concepts. After Lew Huan finished his drink, a bald man next to him stood up. "Boss Rao, myst name is Sun; mypany has some business that could match up with yours." "Let''s have a drink, the two of us." As he spoke, he also poured himself a full cup. After toasting to Rao Shi Yun, he too drank it down in one gulp. Li Meifg felt something was off, but she couldn''t quite put her finger on what it was. At that momt, a mature woman in her forties, wearing high heels, tered the private room. This woman was Lew Huan''s wife, Wang Shangyan. From the momt he saw Wang Shangyan with her big wavy hair, Li Zhiyan felt that this top-notch mature woman wasn''t easy to handle, her demeanor exuded a feisty air. "Wife, why are you here?" After receiving that mysterious message, Wang Shangyan became alert. Knowing Rao Shi Yun¡ªa voluptuous and absolutely beautiful mature woman who is her husband''s business partner¡ªshe looked a the room upon tering and indeed saw Rao Shi Yun drinking. She th noticed the flush on her husband''s face. Clearly, everything the message said was true. It seemed like he really didn''t want to get past this. However, with so many people here, it was not appropriate for her to make a sce. Seeing an empty seat next to Li Zhiyan, she sat down beside the young boy. "I heard there was a gathering, so I came to have a look." "Auntie Rao, long time no see." Rao Shi Yun, having just finished another ss, also greeted Wang Shangyan. Lew Huan inwardly cursed his bad luck, realizing that today was likely not his chance. Unless he got his own wife drunk too. Resolving to go all out, the thought harded his resolve, and he signaled to a few of hispanions with a nce. All six of these people were Lew Huan''s frids, and they were all veterans of the nightlife. With just a look, they understood Lew Huan''s inttions. Lew Huan was determined to have Rao Shi Yun, for she indeed looked like a ripe and irresistibly ticing apple. "Boss Rao, to mark our first meeting, I will also toast to you!" A man with a beer belly stood up and chugged his drink fiercely. In the d, Rao Shi Yun was just a woman, and at this momt, she truly felt panicked. Continuing to drink like this, she figured she''d ck out, but she still had to drink. She could only think of excusing herself to the restroom to induce vomiting afterward. "Auntie Rao, let me drink it for you," Li Zhiyan grabbed Rao Shi Yun''s delicate hand, knowing that it was time to show his mastery of the Wine God skill. However, indeed, Lew Huan''s wife was beautiful, still so charming in her forties. Lew Huan''s heart lifted with joy, as this obstacle had prested itself, and he had be worried about how to force the kid to drink. Now, all it would take was one drink, and the kid would immediately lose consciousness! As for his own wife, who had no tolerance for alcohol, if his buddies just propped her up for a bit, she would fall, and Li Meifg would be the same. Getting all four people drunk, th Rao Shi Yun would be his for the night. Looking at Rao Shi Yun''s D+ bust, he touched the blue pill in his pocket, barely able to suppress the excitemt in his heart. "Xiao Yan, no, childr shouldn''t drink alcohol; Auntie will drink it herself." Rao Shi Yun, touched by Li Zhiyan''s attempt to shield her from the alcohol, felt deeply moved. Such a good child, too bad he wasn''t her own son. Chapter 33: 033 Under the wine table Rao Shi Yun''s heart was very touched. She really didn''t expect that Li Zhiyan would stand up to take the drinks for her at such a momt. However, she couldn''t allow Li Zhiyan to drink. Matters at the drinking table were adult affairs, and Li Zhiyan was just a child, who couldn''t be involved. At 8, it was better not to drink. At this time, Wang Shangyan was also looking curiously at Li Zhiyan, the only child in the room. What sort of backg did he have? She had never se him before. "Elder Sister Rao, is this your nephew?" Seeing Wang Shangyan''s curiosity about Li Zhiyan''s idtity, Li Meifg took over the conversation. "No, this child is our frid." Wang Shangyan felt surprised, not expecting that this child would appear at the drinking table as a frid. What qualified him? She wondered how the two wom had be frids with such a child. Noticing Wang Shangyan''s confusion, Li Meifg continued, "You shouldn''t underestimate this child because of his age." "Li Zhiyan is really impressive. Not only did he teach himself Frch and help ourpany solve a project issue," "but he also learned programming on his own and helped Boss Liu solve a difficult problem with hispany''s system." Li Meifg''s words made Wang Shangyan wid her eyes in disbelief. Could this child be that incredible! Indeed, there were some giuses in this world that she couldn''t understand. Afterward, Wang Shangyan looked towards her husband, Lew Huan, certain that the contt of that message was absolutely true. His phndering wasn''t just a one-time incidt. Because of this, she had argued with him, but now, she realized Lew Huan had yet to restrain himself, ev targeting Elder Sister Rao. Wh they got home, she would have to settle the score with him properly. Watching the wom nearly start chatting, the man with the beer belly hurriedly said, "It''s admirable for a young man to have courage. Once you step into society, you''ll inevitably counter asions where drinking is required." "Boss Rao, don''t stop him. Let him have a good couple of drinks." "With such talt, if he can also handle his alcohol, th his future will undoubtedly be boundless!" Rao Shi Yun was still very firm. "No, childr cannot drink." In Rao Shi Yun''s heart, she treated Li Zhiyan like her son and naturally didn''t want her ''son'' to drink alcohol. But Li Zhiyan had already picked up the cup and downed it in one gulp. What a joke¡ªwithout drinking, how could he kiss Auntie Rao''s lips? This was rted to his mission. As the wine wt down his throat, Li Zhiyan felt as if he had consumed an extraordinary delicacy. The ssation was exhrating... In the past wh drinking alcohol, Li Zhiyan only found it distasteful and heady, oft forced to drink due to social obligations and the inevitablepromises of the adult world. However, after learning the "Wine God" skill, he found that he truly joyed the taste of alcohol. With the drink downed, his face turned red, obviously appearing intoxicated. Although Li Zhiyan wouldn''t get drunk, his outward appearance was virtually indistinguishable from someone who was. "Well done!" "Little brother!" "Truly a heroic capacity, extraordinarily gifted!" The veteransvished praise on Li Zhiyan. After all, he was just a child; with a little prodding, he would certainly be unable to back down. Indeed, Li Zhiyan seemed to be very happy, face flushed and clearly fully inebriated. Wang Shangyan felt a bit distressed in her heart. How shameless these people were¡ªjust to help her husband sleep with a woman, they didn''t ev spare a child. And perhaps they nned to get her and Li Meifg drunk next. Knowing what Lew Huan was nning, Wang Shangyan had a clear assumption about what he wanted to do next. "Child, stop drinking. You''re still young, drinking like this can lead to trouble." Wang Shangyan grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand, tderly touched his face, feeling pity for him. Such a good child. Ev though Wang Shangyan was usually a harsh woman, at this momt she feltpassion for Li Zhiyan. Seeing his wife holding Li Zhiyan''s hand, If Li Zhiyan were an ordinary child, it would be one thing, but this child was clearly interested in wom 0 years his sior. His wife was 40, surely he would like her as well. Lew Huan wanted to explode with anger, but thinking about his ns for the night, he held it in. The night was still about Rao Shi Yun; the rest didn''t matter. Wang Shangyan''s hand was soft, and Li Zhiyan was somewhat intoxicated by the ssation. A 36D bust, a short skirt with high heels and flesh-colored stockings, she was indeed a top-quality mature woman. Rao Shiyun quietly took Li Zhiyan''s hand out of Wang Shangyan''s grasp. Seeing Li Zhiyan holding hands with someone else made her heart feel a bit sour. This was, after all, the dear son of her heart, and she couldn''t let such wolfish wom take advantage of him. Under normal circumstances, Rao Shiyun wouldn''t have acted like this, but she was now under the influce of alcohol. Binge drinking baijiu really wasn''t something ordinary people could tolerate. "Shangyan," "This child is shy; don''t tease him." Wang Shangyan ssed something, this woman, she couldn''t have breastfed this kid, could she? "Come on, Boss Rao, let me toast to you too." At this momt, another person stood up to toast Rao Shiyun. Reluctantly, Rao Shiyun had to stand up as well wh someone across from her filled her cup to the brim. Li Zhiyan again snatched the wine ss from Rao Shiyun''s hand. After downing it in one gulp, seeing Li Zhiyan drink so fiercely left the man opposite somewhat bewildered. He hadn''t ev drunk his own yet wh he steeled himself to guzzle down a ss. After two sessive shots of baijiu, Li Zhiyan was already swaying a bit. Lew Huan was barely able to contain his excitemt. He could tell this kid was drinking for the first time, with such ferocity he was definitely going to ck out, and Rao Shiyun was also close to her limit. "Boss Rao,e on, I''ll toast you too." Rao Shiyun, seeing Li Zhiyan drink, was incredibly distressed; she couldn''t let the child drink for her under any circumstances this time. Li Zhiyan directly filled his own cup to the brim. "I''ll drink this one for Auntie Rao as well." After the drink wt down, although there were sev people opposite him, they were also somewhat intimidated at this point; this kid was ying with fire. But that was as far as he would go. After three such strong shots, ev immortals would falter, and he likely wouldn''tst three minutes. Once seated, Li Zhiyan ced his hand on Rao Shiyun''s plump, beautiful leg. The smooth ssation transmitted to him, and Li Zhiyan whispered softly, "Auntie Rao, rest assured, I won''t let you drink anymore." Moved by Li Zhiyan''s show of strgth, Rao Shiyun''s heart swelled. She felt Li Zhiyan''s hand moving back and forth on her thigh. She thought the child must have drunk too much. However, having not gaged in such activities for a long time, Rao Shiyun couldn''t help but react to Li Zhiyan''s touch. This sce under the table was also glimpsed by Wang Shangyan. My God, there must be a full 4-year age differce betwe them; could they have gott together? This kid, could he really ept a woman old ough to be his mother? Wang Shangyan''s thoughts were bizarre, but she still wanted to see how her husband would y his part next. "Boss Rao, they all toasted you, so I must toast you as well." "I''ll do it." Li Zhiyan stood up again, Auntie Rao''s beautiful legs felt so good. "Come, I''ll drink this for Auntie Rao." Rao Shiyun grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand. "No, Xiao Yan, you can''t drink anymore." "Auntie Rao," Li Zhiyan leaned close to Rao Shiyun''s ear. At this momt, Rao Shiyun seemed to feel the warm ssation from Li Zhiyan''s tongue. It seemed the child had ev licked her ear. "Auntie Rao, don''t worry, my liver is a bit differt from other people''s, I''m fine with drinking." "These people are clearly trying to make things difficult for you." "Leave it to me." With hisst words, Li Zhiyan gtly brushed Rao Shiyun''s glisting earlobe with the tip of his tongue. Rao Shiyun''s face grew hot, unsure if it was because Li Zhiyan had licked her earlobe, or because he had touched her leg earlier, or perhaps because she had drunk too much. This child, did he truly have such a talt? Chapter 34: 034 This is not right. The damp heat on her earlobe still hadn''t dissipated, making Rao Shi Yun''s gaze turn somewhat hazy and seductive. Could this kid really be the type who never gets drunk? Under normal circumstances, a person would be out cold after guzzling three consecutive drinks. By now, they should have copsed. At this point, one could only put their faith in this kid. Watching as Li Zhiyan downed another drink. Rao Shi Yun''s heart felt a bit uneasy, worried that the kid might run into trouble. "Boss Rao, I drink a toast to you as well," Another middle-aged man stood up, offering a toast to Rao Shi Yun. He thought, this kid is probably at the d of his rope by now. No matter how great his tolerance, he surely can''t keep mming back so many drinks without passing out, right? However, after Li Zhiyan gulped down another drink. He was utterly stunned; it was clear the kid was swaying, on the verge of copsing at any momt! Yet there he was, still somehow managing to stay on his feet, swaying but not falling over. Could this kid really drink so much? Wang Shangyan watched the intimate interactions betwe Li Zhiyan and Rao Shi Yun, growing ever more curious about their rtionship. Could it be that Rao Shi Yun really gave herself to him? It actually seemed quite fitting; eighte was the age of boundless ergy. All the hormones could be fully received right there with Rao Shi Yun. Freely vting all the fantasies of adolee. One at the peak of hormonal surge, and the other too at the peak of hormonal surge. A perfect match. Actually... she herself was also at the age where she needed it most. However, her conflicts with Lew Huan were deeping, and just thinking about his numerous past wom made her feel sick. "Uncles, I''ve drunk separately with my aunt, and now I toast you all," Li Zhiyan wasn''t someone who''d simply sit back and wait for disaster. He oped another bottle of Maotai and passed it to Lew Huan. How could he not ept a toast from a child? "Uncle, you really hold your liquor well, I toast to you," "Uncle, you''re really handsome, I toast to you," Li Zhiyan continued to tter them, stretching the bottle to the middle-aged m opposite and pouring them each a full ss. Watching Li Zhiyan maneuvering the veterans so they were stuck epting his toasts, Wang Shangyan always felt this young guy was very worldly-wise,vishing the older geration with praise that didn''t cost a ct, steadying their eptance of each full ss of liquor. Thinking back on what Li Meifg said earlier, that this kid also knew Frch andputer programming, Wang Shangyan felt Li Zhiyan was ev more mysterious. "Uncles, I''ll go first," Feeling Rao Shi Yun''s concern, Li Zhiyan quietly tugged Rao Shi Yun''s hand under the table, calming her considerably; she was starting to believe that Li Zhiyan could indeed handle his drink, but his mind wasn''t clear¡ªthat much was true. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have be groping a on her thigh earlier. The sev m who saw Li Zhiyan down another ss started feeling overwhelmed. This kid couldn''t be a monster, could he? So much drinking would have floored ev a bear, yet there he was, standing fine. But let''s just hang in there; this kid has drunk more than any of us, and he''s bound to give out soon, everyone thought. Surely all these seasoned drinkers couldn''t be outdrunk by an 8-year-old kid! Li Zhiyan had just finished his drink and immediately filled his ss again. "Uncles, I''ll continue to fill your sses." Li Zhiyan poured himself a full ss and repeated the process. The m opposite began to panic. Something was off! This wasn''t right! The kid looked like he was swaying and could fall at any momt, but there he stood, like a Weeble that wobbles but won''t fall down, still willing to keep drinking with them. Could there really be such a gifted Wine God in this world? However, with Li Zhiyan''s verbal adtion, their sses were once again filled with liquor. After they just finished their drinks, Li Zhiyan continued to op the Maotai and repeated his earlier actions. With his subsequt ferocious chugging. The man with the beer belly barely made it through half a ss before his mind shut down, copsing on the table. The rest, after chugging another drink, couldn''t hold on either; some fell to the floor. Some leaned on the table, a mess, with only Lew Huan still swaying but standing. "Uncle Lew, today we must drink together," Li Meifg also egged on from the side, "That''s right, that''s right." "Old Lew, all your pals here have be drunk under the table, and you can''t lose face. Li Zhiyan has done a huge favor for ourpany, and you must apany him for a good drink," By now Lew Huan waspletely befuddled, watching dazedly as Li Zhiyan filled his ss to the brim. Amidst the vague hazes, he started hallucinating. Across from him, the very Rao Shi Yun he dreamed of sleeping with was casting a disdainful nce at him, as if to say he couldn''t ev outdrink a kid. Th, he downed the drink in his hand with a swig. This time, he finally couldn''t hold on any longer and crashed to the floor. In the room, Li Meifg and the others were somewhat dumbfounded. Sev m! All outdrunk by Li Zhiyan alone! Looking at the sev m he had drunk under the table, Li Zhiyan''s mind was still remarkably clear, which made him marvel at the power of his Wine God abilities. Under normal circumstances, having drunk so ferociously, one after another, about a doz shots of liquor, one would likely be lying in the ICU by now. "Bastard!" "The message was right after all!" "Lew Huan, you son of a bitch raised by a bitch!" Wang Shangyan couldn''t suppress her fury anymore and grabbed the bottle of Maotai. She approached Lew Huan, who was lying on the g unconscious from drinking, and smashed the bottle on him. Lew Huan''s forehead was bleeding profusely, but ev th, he didn''t wake up. Li Zhiyan was also startled; this woman was really ruthless. It seemed that not all wom from thete ''70s were gtle. There was a harshness about Wang Shangyan, and now she was striking with real vom. The blow with the beer bottle was very solid. Lew Huan won''t being out of the hospital for t days and a half month! "What happed!" "Why are you two being so violt." Li Meifg was a bit panicked. "I received a message saying that this animal wanted to get Elder Sister Rao drunk here, and th take her to a hotel." "I was skeptical at first, but I just confirmed it¡ªthey were obviously in cahoots, desperately trying to get her drunk." "Sister Li, you better not worry about it too much." Since it was a marital matter, Li Meifg didn''t know what to say, although she was somewhat afraid. She was thankful that Lew Huan didn''t have his eyes on her; otherwise, if she really became Lew Huan''s lover and got caught by Wang Shangyan, she wondered if she too would d up with a bloody hole in her head. "Let''s go first." Rao Shi Yun felt scared of this woman and pulled Li Zhiyan by the hand to leave the private room. ... After leaving, Rao Shi Yun didn''t call for a sober driver. Instead, she just held Li Zhiyan''s hand and walked down the street. In Wanchg over the past years, most of the suburban areas were sparsely popted. It was only under a willow tree that Rao Shi Yun finally stopped. By th, the effects of the alcohol were slowly creeping up on her. "You, young man, how can you stay so clear-headed after drinking so much? Impressive." Thinking back to how Li Zhiyan had protected her at the dinner table, drinking alone against sev others. Rao Shi Yun felt a warm ssation in her heart. "This time, Auntie really owes you a big favor." "If Wang Shangyan hadn''t spok up, I wouldn''t have realized that Lew Huan was trying to get me drunk. No wonder they were all toasting me so persisttly, and some of them were acquaintances. These m, they really stick together." "I don''t ev know how to repay you." Looking at Li Zhiyan''s somewhat vacant gaze. She was very aware that although Li Zhiyan indeed had a talt for drinking, it was impossible for him to bepletely unaffected. He was definitely feeling bad right now. "Auntie, if you want to repay me, let me give you a kiss." Li Zhiyan seemed to be joking as he said this. At this momt, Rao Shi Yun was also feeling the alcohol''s effects, this kid in front of her was more than twty years her junior. It''s just a peck on the cheek or forehead, after all. Just a kiss from a kid. "Alright, th Auntie will let you give her a kiss." Li Zhiyan didn''t expect things to go so smoothly; his efforts in drinking were not in vain after all. "Th, Auntie Rao, here Ie." Li Zhiyan gtly wrapped his arms a Rao Shi Yun''s slder waist and tried to nuzzle her stomach with his. But that was too difficult to do. As he felt Rao Shi Yun''s bosom. A reflex was triggered in Rao Shi Yun. With the alcohol taking effect, the loneliness that had persisted far too long seemed to make her lose control over her behavior. "Mmm..." How could she go back on a promise made to a kid? Li Zhiyan, hugging Rao Shi Yun''s waist, kissed her right on the tip of her nose. Feeling Li Zhiyan''s lips touch her nose, Rao Shi Yun felt a rush of hormones. The ssation was electric. How could this kid kiss there? But the next second... Li Zhiyan kissed her directly on the lips and started to nibble gtly. After kissing Rao Shi Yun, Li Zhiyan nced at the system, which confirmed that his mission waspleted. This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Traditional wom like Auntie Rao always saw him as a child. If he wt too far, it might mean they would never interact again. Li Zhiyan was very clear that many principles were incredibly important to the previous geration of wom. Rao Shi Yun and Gu Wanzhou were such people. A kiss should be ough, he thought. Better not to irritate Auntie Rao, as that wouldn''t d well. However, he had underestimated Rao Shi Yun''s response to alcohol, and he had underestimated the chemical reaction that might sue wh the hormones of a woman who had be lonely for too long were stirred. All she could think about was to share a guine kiss with Li Zhiyan in front of her. "Xiao Yan." "Don''t just nibble at a woman indiscriminately, that''s not the way to do it." "Let Auntie teach you." "You should gtly use the tip of your tongue to seek out Auntie''s." Chapter 35: Im doing what! "And th, gtly feel it." As she spoke, Rao Shiyun kissed Li Zhiyan on the mouth. Beath the willow tree bathed in the orange glow of the streemp. An 8-year-old boy and a 4-year-old mature woman held each other tightly, releasing their inner hormones. Li Zhiyan really hadn''t expected it. Bliss came so suddly, and he could feel Auntie Rao''s embrace from such a close distance. Regarding kissing, Li Zhiyan didn''t have much experice and didn''t know what made for a mature,plete approach. But, like a mature woman such as Rao Shiyun, In this aspect, she certainly knew much more than he did. Under Rao Shiyun''s skillful lead, Li Zhiyan realized at this momt that he was Truly intoxicated. Greedily feeling Auntie Rao''s tderness. Until a cool breeze blew by, suddly Rao Shiyun sobered up. What was she doing? She was a bit stunned, as if she had be teaching Li Zhiyan how to kiss! He was just an 8-year-old kid. Chapter 36: 036 This child really doesnt allow one to worry less! With a sse of panic, she pushed Li Zhiyan away and turned her back to him, unable to op her eyes because her face was burning hot. How was she supposed to face this kid in the future? She was already 4 years old and had ev calmly discussed the possibility of reconciling with her husband on the phone. But tonight, she had kissed an 8-year-old kid. It was mortifying. If her husband had se this sce, there would definitely be no hope for their reconciliation. I''m sorry, husband¡­ Li Zhiyan stood there without speaking to Rao Shiyun. He had actually wanted to resist a momt ago, but Auntie Rao was just too beautiful. And the momt she kissed him, he couldn''t resist any longer. Now that she was sober, he thought it best to give her the cold treatmt. She was his elder, so it was better to wait for her to speak first. ... After a long while, Rao Shiyun slowly turned her head back. By this time, she hadpletely sobered up and was extremely regretful about her impulsive actions. Li Zhiyan was just a kid who had kissed her, but she had seriously taught him how to kiss. She had ev demonstrated it herself. How was she going to face the boy now? "Xiao Yan, let me take you home. It''s not too far from your ce." She decided to act as if nothing had happed. She would contact Li Zhiyan after some time had passed! That way, he would still be the innoct kid, and she would just be a regr aunt to him. That was for the best! Rao Shiyun''s face had gradually cooled down by now, but the alcohol still made her walk unsteady. "No, Auntie Rao, I''d rather take you home first; otherwise, I wouldn''t be at ease." "Let''s call a designated driver to take you home, and I can go back on my own." Li Zhiyan was very atttive, so he thoughtfully considered all aspects of Rao Shiyun''s safety. "Okay." After the two started talking about other things, the awkward atmosphere dissipated. It was as if the kiss had never happed. ... He took Rao Shiyun home. On his way back to his own house, the smell of alcohol on him hadpletely vanished. "The ''Wine God'' skill really is quite amazing. Let''s check if the system''s reward of sevty thousand yuan has be credited." He took out his VIVO flip phone. Sure ough, the sevty thousand yuan had be credited, and Li Zhiyan now had a total savings of two hundred thousand yuan. "I''m still eight hundred thousand yuan away from my goal of bing a millionaire." "The money ising in so fast¡­" Li Zhiyan thought to himself. At the momt, the system tasks hadn''t refreshed, but Li Zhiyan was not in a hurry. He recalled the momts wh Auntie Rao was teaching him about physiology. Mature wom really knew their stuff; all the knowledge they had was so precise. Li Zhiyan couldn''t help fantasizing about the sce of Rao Shiyun instructing him, feeding him. And ev the carriage scario. As long as he obeditly listed, he could have the most perfect experice. Thinking about it made Li Zhiyan''s heart itch a little. It wasn''t until he got home and saw the lights still on that Li Zhiyan let go of the weird thoughts in his mind. After oping the door, his mother was sitting at the dining table waiting for him as she used to. "Xiao Yan, are you hungry? Mom made dumplings for you today." "Mom, I''m hungry!" Li Zhiyan happily eximed. Since he had mostly be drinking at the dinner, he hadn''t eat much, so Li Zhiyan was guinely hungry. He wt to the kitch and brought over the dumplings, watching his son wolf down the food. Zhou Rongrong sniffed the sct on Li Zhiyan. "Son, did you drink alcohol?" Li Zhiyan of course didn''t dare to admit it; his mother was a traditional person and very averse to smoking and drinking. "No, do I look like I have drunk? It''s just that someone next to me was drinking." Zhou Rongrong leaned in and sniffed again, and th she let it go. But she soon noticed something differt. There seemed to be some lipstick on Li Zhiyan''s mouth? It seemed her son had really grown up. The only headache was that thisd might actually bring home a 40-year-old girlfrid to show her. For her son''s happiness, it seemed she needed to strgth her mtal preparedness. Lest he really bring home such an older girlfrid and she couldn''t handle it. ... In the middle of the night, Rao Shiyun tossed and turned, constantly thinking about what had happed under the willow tree earlier. Had she really done that? Tak the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan, to kiss a kid who had juste of age. And taught him so earnestly how he should proceed. Only a shameless woman could do such a thing, and yet she had done it. "I better not contact the kid these next few days." "If my husband finds out, there will definitely be no chance of reconciling." Although Rao Shiyun had deep conflicts with her husband, they had be married for over twty years after all. The bond was still strong; she was thinking of reconciling with her husband after the New Year. Now Li Zhiyan''s sudd appearance hadpletely disrupted her inner peace. "Or maybe I should just delete Li Zhiyan and pretd he has never be part of my life." Oping WhatsApp, Rao Shiyun considered deleting Li Zhiyan''s contact. But no matter what, she couldn''t bring herself to press the delete button. What did he do wrong? Li Zhiyan was just too drunk, not knowing where he should kiss and being a normal man, so he ded up kissing her own lips a few times. And everything that followed was initiated by herself. Including the instruction to him, which he gave through personal demonstration. How could he have the heart to delete such a good kid? Born in a single-part family, yet he managed to teach himself and be sessful. Moreover, tonight he helped block so much alcohol for her. The memory of Li Zhiyan standing by her side, drinking, resurfaced in her mind, and Rao Shi Yun suddly felt she deserved to die. How could she think of deleting him, ev though Li Zhiyan said it was fine. But after drinking so much, how could it possibly be fine? If it wasn''t for the alcohol messing with his head, how could he have dared to touch her leg under the table? Li Zhiyan was a very simple kid; if he hadn''t be drunk, he would never have done such a thing. "Xiao Yan, are you okay?" "Do you still feel sick?" Ev though she thought of letting it go slowly, Rao Shi Yun still couldn''t help sding Li Zhiyan a message, asking if he still felt unwell. A few secondster, Li Zhiyan''s reply came. "I''m fine now, Auntie Rao. I can hold my liquor." Reading his reply, Rao Shi Yun felt ev worse. The kid was stillforting her at this time, and she was thinking of deleting him. No, in the future she must treat him well, cherish him as if he were her own son. "Okay." "Get some sleep early, Xiao Yan." Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Rao, you should also sleep early. It''ste now, and after drinking so much tonight, you should rest well." After chatting for a bit, Rao Shi Yun looked at her long middle finger. Everything that happed under the willow tree echoed dlessly in her heart. Ev though it all felt so real and she felt so guilty, so sorry for Liu Zifg''s father. But Rao Shi Yun still couldn''t help thinking about it. Th, she slowly closed her eyes. ... In the following days, Rao Shi Yun chatted with Li Zhiyan as usual. It seemed they both hadpletely forgott about what happedst night. Understanding the situation, Li Zhiyan did not mtion what happed under the willow tree. At the same time, his rtionship with Gu Wanzhou also grew much closer. During those days, Li Zhiyan spt most of his time at the inte cafe ying games with Li Shiyu. Waiting for the new system task to be released. On the fourth day, while Li Zhiyan was chatting with Gu Wanzhou at the inte cafe. The new system task finally refreshed. "Gu Wanzhou''s distant cousin is trying to sell his Brotherhood Inte Cafe at the price of two hundred thousand." "And he is asking Gu Wanzhou to help find someone capable of taking over the Brotherhood Inte Cafe." "Please buy the Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Seeing this task, Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned. He had finally saved up two hundred thousand, and now he would be broke again? But the next prompt left him ev more stunned. "Note: After purchasing the Brotherhood Inte Cafe, the system will automatically upgrade the cafe''s equipmt and initiate marketing managemt, securing a stable profit of thirty thousand a month." "Complete the task, and you will receive a skill reward, 0CM." "0CM will allow any part of your body to grow up to 0CM." "And the width will change ordingly with the lgth." "...0?" At this momt, Li Zhiyan kept rechecking the system panel several times. He finally confirmed it was indeed 0! Previously, the system would directly assign him tasks to study. But this time, he had to buy the inte cafe before he could receive the reward. And the value of this reward goes without saying: it''s iparable ev to a hundred billion in cash! "Do it, I must do this task!" Never before had Li Zhiyan be so resolute! Moreover, with the system handling the marketing, he would only need to hire a couple of inte cafe managers and he could be a hands-off owner! Thirty thousand a month, a profit of one hundred and sixty thousand after a year, the rate of return was astonishing. "Stop browsing, let''s go to the Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Upon hearing "Brotherhood Inte Cafe", Li Shiyu frowned. Theputers there were quite old, ev ying Dungeon Fighter or CrossFire required a long loading time, and it had be deserted for a while. But he didn''t make any remarks, and he simply stood up and wt to the counter to log off, trusting that Brother Yan had his reasons! ... Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Sun Ziyi was pouring out his struggles to Gu Wanzhou. "Cousin, running an inte cafe is really hard these days." "I have over a hundredputers, and." "On a good day, only about thirty peoplee, barely covering the monthly utility and inte bills." Gu Wanzhou was somewhat helpless. If it wasn''t for her parts asking her to look after this distant cousin, she really wouldn''t care about this cousin she barely felt any kinship with. "I''ll make another call and ask a to see if someone is willing to take over this cafe." In those years, two hundred thousand was quite a sum of money. Although many could afford it, buying such an inte cafe was obviously not cost-effective. Just th, a strange call came in. On the other d of the phone was a young man''s voice. "Boss Sun, I heard you want to sell your inte cafe?" At this momt, Gu Wanzhou was slightly bewildered. The voice on the phone seemed to be Li Zhiyan, that kid! He couldn''t be thinking of buying this inte cafe, could he? Two hundred thousand, where would he get so much money? Moreover, taking over this inte cafe for two hundred thousand was bound to be a losing deal. She''d have to find a chance to dissuade himter. This kid, really isn''t easy to deal with! Chapter 37: Aunt Gus Astonishment! Inte cafes are currtly a very popr industry, and many inte cafe owners are making a fortune. However, the reason my cousin isn''t making much money from his inte cafe is because of its remote location. Moreover, the machines are quite outdated; selling this inte cafe with so manyputers for over two hundred thousand is indeed not too much. But whoever buys it would be a pure sucker. Li Zhiyan, why can''t this kid give people peace of mind? Li Zhiyan is truly capable in other aspects! This point, Gu Wanzhou has never doubted. In her heart, Li Zhiyan is a hardworking and talted kid. But running a business is apletely differt concept from those things! This kid really doesn''t give people peace of mind. Yet, she also felt quite astonished in her heart, could this kid really afford to buy an inte cafe? Perhaps, he doesn''t ev know that buying this inte cafe would cost two hundred thousand! At the same time, she also felt that she was indeed fated to be connected with Li Zhiyan. The fact that she was Sun Ziyi''s older cousin was not known to others, and she didn''t reveal this rtionship wh she asked her frids. Yet, Li Zhiyan just happed to call Sun Ziyi. What he said about fate, perhaps it''s true. Are some things really predestined? Could it be that she really will be roped in by him? Thinking about a brand-new teager who was about to work with her... Gu Wanzhou''s heart was filled with extremeplexity. "That''s right, that''s right, boss, are you thinking about buying an inte cafe?" ... "Of course, I''ve be thinking about buying an inte cafetely, to y a as the boss." Walking on the way to Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Li Zhiyan spoke casually, his mind full of thoughts about 0s. For mature wom, 0 is perfection within perfection. Next to Li Zhiyan, Li Shiyu looked at him as if he were legdary. Wow! Brother Yan is indeed wealthy, now he''s going to buy his own inte cafe; wouldn''t that mean I won''t have to pay for usage in the future! Thinking about freeloading on the fee every day, Li Shiyu was almost excited ough to squeal like a pig. "Th pleasee visit Brotherhood Inte Cafe." "I''m already on my way." Looking at Li Zhiyan hanging up the phone, an excited Li Shiyu said, "Brother Yan, you''re defying the heavs!" "At 8, you''re going to op your own inte cafe!" "But isn''t Brotherhood Inte Cafe a bit too rundown? The machines there are soggy, and the location is also very remote. It might be hard to make money after buying it." "Every time I go there, aside from a few people ying ''Dragon Oath'', there are hardly any customers. Why not just buy Fantasy Inte Cafe instead?" Li Zhiyan said somewhat helplessly, "Do you think I can afford an inte cafe with good machines and a good location?" "Anyway, I have a way to upgrade and solve the machine issue, th I''ll hire a manager and a few inte admins." "Just manage it well, and I''ll give you a permant card, and you can y as much as you want." Li Shiyu couldn''t help but cheer. Although the machines at Brotherhood Inte Cafe were old, it was just the loading times for CF that were slow, maybe taking three to five minutes for thest bit, but you can''t beat free. With so many avable machines, he could y wherever he wanted. Moreover, if there''s a way to upgrade the machines. Th Brotherhood Inte Cafe''s business wouldn''t be too bad! "Brother Yan, hiring several inte admins isn''t that a bit extravagant, and what is a manager?" Li Zhiyan said casually, "The manager is in charge of managing the tire inte cafe, with a monthly sry of three thousand." "An inte admin will get one thousand five hundred a month, hiring four should be about right." This setup is required by the system, so Li Zhiyan ns to go ording to it. Wh Li Shiyu heard that the manager would get three thousand a month. He couldn''t help but drool a little, this was his dream job! He could visit the third floor many times! "A manager and four inte admins, ev with money, you don''t spd it like this! I think I''m up to the job of manager!" Li Zhiyan didn''t hesitate. "Alright, you''ll be the manager for this month." The two chatted as if Li Zhiyan had already bought Brotherhood Inte Cafe. "By the way, Brother Yan, have you heard? Yesterday, our ss monitor''s dad was put in jail." "Appartly he''s suspected of job-rted crime." "How can a dect person just d up in jail like that?" "Now, Liu Yaolong''s family''s Audi A4 has be seized by the court." "He stopped showing off in the ss group as well." "I heard his mom''s sry is being withheld by herpany now." "I don''t know what''s going on, but it sounds pretty troublesome." Liu Yaolong used to be their emy. But now that Liu Yaolong''s family was in such a state, he actually felt a bit of sympathy for Liu Yaolong. Li Zhiyan remembered that in his past life, there indeed was such an incidt. He had heard that the ss monitor''s mom hadmitted suicide in 0. As for the exact reason, he wasn''t sure. Because in his past life, he didn''t have much to do with the ss monitor after graduation. As he pondered, Brotherhood Inte Cafe came into view. At the trance, Sun Ziyi and Gu Wanzhou were already waiting there. "Aunt Gu." "What are you doing here?" "I told you we were fated!" Li Zhiyan only knew that the owner of the inte cafe was Gu Wanzhou''s cousin. But he never expected to see Gu Wanzhou here today. "Cousin, you know each other?" Sun Ziyi was quite surprised and a little disappointed. The person he was waiting for had not arrived yet. "Of course, we know each other. This is the kid who wants to buy the inte cafe you were waiting for." "The fridge is out of Coke, go and prepare a few bottles of ice-cold Coke; Little Ziyi likes to drink ice-cold Coke." Sun Ziyi took a closer look at Li Zhiyan in front of him. He was truly baffled. What''s the deal with this kid? He looks about sevte or eighte, right? Just of age, could he really afford an inte cafe? What a joke! However, after thinking about it, Sun Ziyi figured that since he knew his cousin, he might be the son of one of her frids - a rich second geration! "I''ll go freeze the Coke right now." After sding her cousin away, Gu Wanzhou spoke with concern, "Li Zhiyan, do you know that this inte cafe is not worth buying?" "Not only are theputers poor, but the location is also very remote. There usually ar''t many peopleing in to y; it''s almost going out of business." "If you buy it, you will definitely lose money." After so many rect evts. Especially that night in the park, if it hadn''t be for this kid showing up. I don''t ev dare to think about what would have happed next. Without a doubt, in Gu Wanzhou''s heart. Li Zhiyan had already tak a very important ce. At least, much more important than her own emotionless cousin. "Aunt Gu, I can''t exin it to you." "But you have to believe me, I''m confidt that I can bring this inte cafe back from the dead. I''ve thought it through very clearly." Gu Wanzhou didn''t expect Li Zhiyan to be so decisive. "But, the inte cafe needs two hundred thousand, do you have that much money?" However, it''s unlikely he could afford the cafe. After all, he''s talted but only 8 years old! "Aunt Gu, I just happ to have two hundred thousand. I rectly solved some system issues for Aunt Li''spany." "And I did some Frch trantions, so I just made two hundred thousand." Li Zhiyan''s words left Gu Wanzhou a bit confused. She suspected she had heard wrong; could Li Zhiyan, who just graduated a month ago, really have two hundred thousand? And what''s this about Frch trantions! "You know Frch too?" "Yes, Aunt Gu, I''m self-taught. I saved up just to buy this inte cafe." "It''s one of my future ns." 0CM, it''s absolutely one of my life''s ns! After all, who doesn''t want to grow taller by a head, no, sev or eight heads! Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but be astounded, the kid ev taught himself Frch! "Come on, young boss, please inside." "Let''s talk about the inte cafe. The c''s already be put on ice for you." Inside the inte cafe, looking at the run-down vironmt and the equipmt, someputers evcked headphones. Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but vividly remember why the inte cafe''s business was bad. Most of the headphones only worked on one side. The chairs were tattered and full of holes. There was a slogan on the wall saying, "Chairs are for customers to sit on; the edge of the chair is for dogs." Thisyout, it managed to make the inte cafe look odd and quirky. If it wer''t for the 0CM, I''d have to be crazy, kicked by a donkey to spd two hundred thousand on this cafe! "This inte cafe''s equipmt is a bit too old; I''ve used the inte here before." "ying CF or Dungeon Fighter Online, it was a bitggy wh loading." Sun Ziyi said somewhat nervously, "That''s why I''m willing to sell the cafe for just two hundred thousand." "Young boss, if you like it, you can take it now." "Otherwise, I n to just let it rot in my hands." Li Zhiyan knew that selling the Brotherhood Inte Cafe for two hundred thousand was indeed a big loss. Trying to get the price lowered further would probably be futile. "Alright, I''ll buy this inte cafe. Let''s sign the contract and go through the procedures, and I''ll make the paymt." Seeing Li Zhiyan make such a whimsical purchase of an inte cafe. Gu Wanzhou really started to worry. She couldn''t imagine! How Li Zhiyan could revive such a dpidated inte cafe. Unless he also had a superhuman talt in managing inte cafes! In the following time, the two of them were busy with the procedures. Wh it was time to pay, Li Zhiyan found that he was still short by t thousand in his online bank ount. He made an excuse to go home, and after taking out the remaining over eight thousand from his cardboard box. It still wasn''t quite ough... Th he eyed Zhou Rongrong''s piggy bank; the password to his mother''s piggy bank was very simple, just his birthday. There would normally be about five thousand in cash inside for household expses. After taking four thousand from his mother''s piggy bank and depositing it in the bank. The procedures were finallyplete! Brotherhood Inte Cafe became the first asset in Li Zhiyan''s life! "Young boss, the cafe is yours from now on." "Oh, and let me leave you with a phone number." "If there''s an inspection, you''ll get a message, but the greasing fees will be up to you, the young boss, from now on." Li Zhiyan was aware. In this day and age, to earn money from an inte cafe, you still need the kids, brother. So greasing some palms was necessary. Sun Ziyi, seeing the two hundred thousand arrive in his bank ount, finally breathed a sigh of relief! Although he lost a lot of money, getting rid of it for two hundred thousand was satisfying! At the bar, Li Shiyu was continuously practicing with the operating system. Three thousand a month! How should he spd this windfall, now he could buy two bottles of iced c at once, add an egg to his Lanzhou noodle soup¡ªimpossible to spd it all, just impossible! "My goodness, you''re too impulsive..." "This inte cafe, buying it, you''re just going to lose money, and you wouldn''t list wh Auntie tried to tell you." Gu Wanzhou pulled up a chair and sat opposite Li Zhiyan. "This inte cafe, definitely you''re going to lose money taking it over for two hundred thousand, and besides, the rt here is about to be due." Li Zhiyan wasn''t worried about the rt issue; he had looked over the system settings. Anyway, the Brotherhood Inte Cafe was guaranteed to bring him a profit of thirty thousand a month. He didn''t care about the specifics. After all, if the system could give him 0, nothing was impossible. Living brainlessly was the happiest way! He checked the system again. The task was alreadypleted. The system reward had be issued. He felt a visible change in his dear brother one could see with the naked eye! Now, he was 0! "Aunt Gu, just believe in me." "I can definitely make a sess of this inte cafe." Gu Wanzhou said with a headache, "Alright, I''ll look for some professionalster to see if there''s a good way to boost your business." As she spoke, Gu Wanzhou seemed to have noticed something incredibly shocking. It appeared, perhaps because it was a bit over the top, that the only word to use was "ced"! Is this... is this for real! Chapter 38: 038 Endless Nonsense Gu Wanzhou began to doubt whether she was seeing things, hallucinating. Was it because she hadn''t be sleeping welltely? But after confirming several times, Gu Wanzhou finally realized. She wasn''t seeing things; everything was real. My goodness, I didn''t expect that Li Zhiyan''s most terrifying talt would turn out to be this! But why hadn''t she noticed this talt in the kid before. Th again, she had never really paid atttion. She looked at her fingers, th at Li Zhiyan. Gu Wanzhou felt her heart pounding. Feeling that Gu Wanzhou wanted to help her get the inte cafe going, Li Zhiyan grew fonder of her. Aunt Gu, Auntie Rao; they were truly kind to her from the bottom of their hearts. Unlike those young girls whose minds were preupied with how to get money from her. Or whether she had any value they could exploit. "By the way, Aunt Gu, about the matter of considering dating we talked about earlier, how are youing along with that?" Looking at the fruitful results before Gu Wanzhou. Li Zhiyan felt a bit vious. After Auntie Rao had giv her a good talking-to before. Lately, Li Zhiyan''s dreams had be getting weirder and weirder. He knew it might be because he was too young; at 8, you always have too much ergy with nowhere to channel it. "Auntie will consider it carefully..." "Honey, these things take a long time to think about." "Can you give Auntie a bit more time?" Because she was afraid of being overheard, Gu Wanzhou too leaned in close to Li Zhiyan''s ear to speak. After all, if others saw a mature woman and a young boy talking about dating, they''d definitely think there was something wrong with their heads. How could Li Zhiyan not realize that Gu Wanzhou was attempting to give him the cold shoulder, yet her heart couldn''t break through that barrier. After all, an 8-year-old and a 4-year-old have a 3-year gap betwe them, ev if she looks so beautiful and mature now. But as a normal woman with a career, she definitely had many aspects to consider. Especially since he had pursued Yu Sisi. This facty betwe them like a rift; he really shouldn''t be too hasty. "Alright, Aunt Gu, take your time to consider it." Li Zhiyan gtly grabbed Gu Wanzhou''s hand. The silky ssation transmitted to him, and Li Zhiyan was somewhat reluctant to let go. If only Aunt Gu could give him a lesson on this knowledge. ncing at the clock on the wall. Gu Wanzhou felt a bit reluctant, knowing she had to part ways with the young boy. "Auntie''spany still has matters to attd to, I have to go for now." "Mhm." After watching Gu Wanzhou leave, Li Zhiyan checked the system prompt. He needed to clear out the remaining customers quickly; the system was about to start upgrading the inte cafe. Li Zhiyan shouted to the doz or so regrs inside the cafe. "Guys, the cafe will be closing for three days for a system upgrade." "Wh you alle back, each person will bepsated 0 yuan for inte fees." "Everyone,e over here and register your member ounts!" At Brotherhood Inte Cafe, everyone could be a member, ev kids like Brother Yan. Hearing about the 0 yuanpsation, the addicted young gamers were all thrilled. They lined up, one by one, to register. Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu were busy for a long time before they managed to register all the members who came to surf the inte that day. After all was done, Li Zhiyan locked the front door. He took out two bottles of chilled drinks that Sun Ziyi had just put in the fridge, unscrewed them quickly, and gulped them down. The exploding taste of c in his mouth during this hot summer, was just tooforting! "Brother Yan, isn''tpsating 0 yuan for inte fees per person a bit too much? There were a full sixte people just now," said Li Shiyu. Li Zhiyan replied casually, "A regr at the inte cafe," "is worth much morepared to 0 yuan of fees." "After all, here in Wanchg, especially a our suburban area," "inte cafes are a dime a doz. Why would people insist oning to your rundown ce? It''s all about habit." "If they get used to another cafe during these few days withoutpsation, they really won''te back." Li Shiyu pondered the words. "Brother Yan, you''re bing more and more inscrutable," he said. "Now you ev understand the principles of doing business. Now that you mtion it, there''s some truth in that, The long-term consumption of these customers will amass a veryrge sum indeed, and it''s important to retain them." "So about the upgrade, do you need me to keep an eye on things here?" It wasn''t possible for Li Shiyu to stay and watch over the upgrade of the cafe. "No need for that, you keep ying games at Fantasy Inte Cafe during these days." "Call you over wh it''s all set here. Andter, I will post a recruitmt ad for awork administrator by the door." "Leave your phone number; you''ll start as the store manager from today." "And after school starts back up, we''ll pick one of thesework administrators with strong work capabilities to rece you." Hearing that he was going to be the manager, Li Shiyu couldn''t help but puff out his chest, proud. Manager sounded like such a prestigious title! "Come on, Brother Yan, let''s go to the restroom." It''s amon habit for boys to go to the restroom together. Feeling the urge to go as well, Li Zhiyan followed Li Shiyu to the small restroom at the back. Just like always, Li Shiyu whistled while using the restroom. Chapter 39: 038 Endless Nonsense_2 Suddly, his peripheral vision seemed to catch something. Fuck! Those two words! Those were his inner thoughts! He hadn''t expected Brother Yan to have such a gift. Why hadn''t he ever noticed it before! But th again, it made sse since he wasn''t gay, how would he notice! But still, this is way too awesome! To use a line from his favorite hot TV series, Love Apartmt . This is what you''d call a man among m, the Lu Bu of Lu Bus! ... In the eving, wh he got back home, Li Zhiyan told Zhou Rongrong about taking her money. "Mom, I took four thousand from your savings box." "Hmm, Mom knows." Zhou Rongrong served the meal to Li Zhiyan, knowing her son loved the food she cooked. "Don''t you want to ask me what happed?" "You''re an adult now. You must have had a reason to take the money, and I trust you." "Mom, you''re so good to me." Zhou Rongrong gtly touched Li Zhiyan''s face. "You''re my son. If I''m not good to you, who would I be good to?" "Mom''s got to go to bed, I have work tomorrow. You should sleep early too, son." Watching Zhou Rongrong''s retreating figure, Li Zhiyan felt a warm ssation in his heart. His currt life might be ordinary, but it was happy. After t o''clock, Li Zhiyany in bed, his mind involuntarily drifting to Liu Yaolong''s mother. He had never met Liu Yaolong''s mother, but ording to what that bastard Li Shiyu said, she was very beautiful. He wondered how shepared to Aunt Gu or Auntie Rao? At that momt, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help feeling curious about why she hadmitted suicideter on. Now that he had be reborn, was it possible... to also save the ss leader Tian Wjing. "Shit, it feels like I''m getting greedier by the day. Could it be that after turning 0, I have be evil." "Truly the evil Brother Tongzi!" "My goal now should be to be a millionaire. With my two hundred thousand in savings wiped out, I have to start over." He oped the system to see if there were any new tasks avable. But the system showed that it was upgrading the inte cafe. So for the time being, it probably wouldn''t release any new tasks. "Th I might as well joy myself for a few days." Having walked a lot today and admired his progress, Li Zhiyan drifted off to sleep in a daze. He felt that from now on, he couldn''t refer to the system as the Wimpy System any longer, it should be called the Mighty System! Although he slept soundly, Gu Wanzhou was suffering from insomnia! Everything that happed today felt like a dream. She learned that Li Zhiyan could speak Frch and had ev made two hundred thousand. That was two hundred thousand at the age of 8. Of course, although this was shocking to her, it only made her think that Li Zhiyan was a gius. It wasn''t what was keeping her awake at night. What was truly keeping her awake was what she had se. She looked at her fingers. Gu Wanzhou felt her life had be turned upside down. "Oh my God, let''s fix that makeup!" ... In the following days, life was quite peaceful. During these days, Gu Wanzhou was busy making phone calls and asking frids if they knew anyone who managed an inte cafe. She wanted to know how to improve the business of the inte cafe. Her level of effort was far greater than wh she was helping her cousin sell the inte cafe. On Li Zhiyan''s side, on the following day, the system notified him that the inte cafe''s upgrade wasplete. It also informed him that the rt for the inte cafe had be rewed. But he wasn''t in a hurry and waited until the fourth day to contact Li Shiyu to go to the inte cafe together. For these few days, there were no tasks refreshed, and Li Zhiyan suspected that perhaps the strong rewards and the inte cafe upgrade had overwhelmed Brother Tongzi. While he contemted this, a new task was released by the system. "ss leader Fang Zhiya''s very traditional mother, because of her husband being imprisoned, is being subjected to unwritt rules by the Xinli Company''s manager who withheld her wages." "Please help Fang Zhiya get her sry back." "Reward for the task, Fifty thousand in cash." "Networking in progress." "Xinli Company''s major shareholder, Liu Jingfg, has now be your frid despite the age differce." Li Zhiyan was slightly stunned, having not expected that connections could be offered in such a manner. That was good, it saved him the trouble; otherwise, it would have be difficult to help Fang Zhiya im her wages. But the system said Fang Zhiya was extremely traditional. How traditional could she possibly be? Gu Wanzhou was very resistant to holding hands, believing in the separation of gders. If she didn''t see him as a child, the idea of him holding Aunt Gu''s hand would have be out of the question. At the trance to the inte cafe, Li Zhiyan met Li Shiyu, as well as a fewwork managers he had hired. "Hello, boss!" Today, Li Shiyu dressed in a shy outfit, a ck shirt paired with trousers and leather shoes, and ev wore a tie. Obviously, he was putting on a show for the role of the manager. "Boss, we''ve hired fourwork managers, two m and two wom, all ready to start as soon as the door ops for business." The two average-looking young girls didn''t seem to be very educated. They looked at Li Zhiyan with admiration in their eyes. Both 8, howe he could own his own inte cafe? Having a boyfrid like that would mean not worrying about the future. As for the meaning behind the girls'' gaze, how could Li Zhiyan not understand? The instinct of wom to admire strgth has be prest from ancit times to now. However, he really had no interest in these t-chested, naive girls. Chapter 40: 038 Endless Nonsense_3 I might go hungry... "Let''s go, check out the inte cafe." Li Zhiyan was also very excited about what the upgraded inte cafe would look like! ... On the other side, Gu Wanzhou was still worried about Li Zhiyan''s inte cafe. The inte cafe was definitely going to suffer huge losses. ncing over her contact list, she decided to give Li Meifg a call. "Presidt Li." "Presidt Gu, what brings you to call me, is there a drinking party tonight?" Business people oft had drinking parties; it was amonce urrce. "No, I wanted to ask you," "Do you know anyone with experice in running an inte cafe?" "You want to op an inte cafe? Although the profits are high now, ites with many troubles." "Besides, thepetition is fierce, you can practically find one every few steps." Gu Wanzhou felt a growing headache, as expected, everyone had the same view. "It''s not me... it''s that kid." "He bought an inte cafe, but the equipmt isn''t good, and the location is quite remote." "If it continues like this, it''s definitely going to lose money." Li Meifg was surprised. Although Gu Wanzhou didn''t specify who the kid was, there could only be one kid worth mtioning by her. Besides Li Zhiyan, who else could it be? No one else was ev a possibility. "That kid could actually afford an inte cafe, truly living up to his reputation as the ''Wine God'' who knocked down sev people. A hero indeedes from youth." "What, sev?" Gu Wanzhou realized that the kid had clearly be doing other things behind her back. "Yeah, I mean, I never expected Lew Huan to collude with others." "To get Rao Shi Yun drunk and th take her to a hotel." "The kid came and directly faced off against sev people drinking." "He knocked all sev of them down; you didn''t see the look in Rao Shi Yun''s eyes, almost melting, with tears brimming from being moved." Hearing that Li Zhiyan drank for the sake of Rao Shi Yun, Gu Wanzhou''s heart couldn''t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. "Presidt Gu, I think you should stop putting on airs. Isn''t that kid pursuing you? You should just be with him." Gu Wanzhou involuntarily thought of the things they had made up about her. If she really got together with him, wouldn''t it cost her her life? "What nonsse are you talking about..." "He''s just an 8-year-old kid." Li Meifg was unconvinced. "What 8-year-old kid. "An 8-year-old is already an adult, legally and morally, you can breastfeed him. Stop calling him a kid all the time, just lie back and Li Zhiyan can get you pregnant!" "Think about it, at this age in ancit times, people would have had a bunch of childr by now, wouldn''t they." "Although you don''t have Rao Shi Yun''s impressive assets to keep that kid propped up." "But with a 36D, you could keep him well-fed too." Hearing Li Meifg''s racy words, Gu Wanzhou''s face inevitably heated up. "Stop spouting nonsse..." "If I really got together with him, I wouldn''t ev be able to face my daughter anymore." Li Meifg seemed to be on a roll. "I''m telling you, you have an advantage now because the kid likes you." "He was the first to confess to you." "But if you keep hesitating, maybe Rao Shi Yun will make the first move." "Think about it, being young and vigorous, seeing his Auntie Rao all the time, how could he resist." "Maybe one day, the kid will want to stuff himself." "Just imagine that sce..." Gu Wanzhou inexplicably felt a twinge of heartache; Rao Shi Yun was very traditional, she couldn''t possibly be with an 8-year-old kid, could she? "Impossible... Didn''t Rao Shi Yun say she spoke with her husband on the phone?" "They''re nning to remarry during the New Year, they''ve had feelings for so many years, how could she possibly..." "How could she be with Li Zhiyan?" Chapter 41: 039 Jiang Xian: Li Zhiyan has even started his own internet cafe! Gu Wanzhou was never one to spew flirty banter like Li Meifg, so words like "feed me" were simply beyond her ability to utter. However, whever Li Meifg said "feed me," She couldn''t help but picture herself in that situation. This made her feel her face grow increasingly hot. "Actually, Rao Shi Yun and her husband have a really good rtionship," "Moreover, their social connections are intricate andplex." "With her husband wanting to remarry, it would definitely be possible," Since the three of them had a good rtionship, Gu Wanzhou knew quite a bit about Rao Shi Yun''s affairs. No matter what, the twty years of emotions betwe Rao Shi Yun and her husband were guine. After all, they were people who lived together every day, ev though they had temporarily divorced due to conflicts. But reconciliation was inevitable. Take herself, for instance, although she and her ex-husband had lost their love amidst the trivialities of life and countless argumts, there were still feelings there, after all, she was a normal woman. The same wt for Rao Shi Yun; twty years of emotion couldn''t just be let go so easily. Perhaps only if her husband broke her heart utterly would she be able to let go. Li Meifg, however, didn''t see it that way. "Gu, the beautiful one, I think what you''re saying isn''t quite right." "Feelings are unpredictable." "Are twty years of emotion necessarily more precious than what she has with Li Zhiyan?" "Li Zhiyan''s care for Rao Shi Yun is beyond words; it moved me just to see it." "Such a young man, loving her so sincerely and earnestly." "I don''t believe she doesn''t have any feelings about that." "Though on one hand there''s her husband, and on the other hand, there''s the kid, making it hard to choose." "But it''s not like it''s impossible for Rao Shi Yun to choose Li Zhiyan." "The kid''s love is passionate, sincere." "It ev makes my heart race, but it''s a shame he isn''t into olderdies like me, only wanting those beautiful, well-shaped mature beauties like you lot." "Otherwise, I really wouldn''t mind getting pregnant with Li Zhiyan''s baby." Li Meifg was known for her flirtatious talk, and Gu Wanzhou was aware of this; the woman would try to seduce any handsome man she saw. Her private life was quite chaotic. Yet now, Gu Wanzhou thought that what Li Meifg said actually made a lot of sse. Ev twty years of marital emotion might notpare to Li Zhiyan''s sincere and fiery love. A sse of crisis involuntarily rose in her heart. Before she could speak up, Li Meifg''s provocative words continued. "I think there really might be something going on betwe them." "Imagine if Li Zhiyan tells Rao Shi Yun one day, ''Auntie Rao, I''m hungry, will you feed me?'' " "Upon hearing that, Rao Shi Yun''s maternal instincts overflow, and she feeds Li Zhiyan." "Just think about it; a 4-year-old woman must be so lonely." "After feeding Li Zhiyan, it bes his turn to feed her." "Back and forth like this, and you have a pregnancy. Gu Wanzhou''s face grew hotter and she quickly changed the subject. If she let this woman keep going without restraint, the conversation would truly fly off into outer space. "Wh Li Zhiyan was drinking against sev people, he was alright, wasn''t he?" Gu Wanzhou was concerned whether Li Zhiyan''s stomach might suffer any problems. "Of course, he was fine." "Speaking of which, I still can''t believe it; the kid is clearly a Wine God, after drinking t shots of liquor in a row, staggering and swaying, he didn''t fall down!" "Lew Huan had it harsh, got so drunk he cked out and was st to the hospital by his wife, and he''s still not discharged." "Li Zhiyan''s kidney function is really too strong, almost ridiculously so; that''s why he can drink like that." In Li Meifg''s words, there was nothing but admiration for Li Zhiyan. The kid was indeed impressive. "What kidney function, shouldn''t that be liver function that''s strong?" Li Meifg naturally knew the differce betwe the liver and kidney. But she thought that a young man''s kidneys should represt boundless ergy. "Do you think his kidney function isn''t strong?" "It should be strong..." She recalled the sce she had se of Li Zhiyan on the chair. If it wer''t an illusion, th Li Zhiyan was truly exceptional. "How would you know unless you''ve breastfed Li Zhiyan?" "Hey, stop making wild guesses. Do you actually have a frid who runs an inte caf¨¦ or not?" "I don''t, but I remember Zhang Hongbin seems to have a frid who does, and he runs a good five or six inte caf¨¦s." "You could ask him." Gu Wanzhou: "Forget it, I''d rather call and ask someone else." Zhang Hongbin had a thing for her, Gu Wanzhou knew. He had a wife and only wanted to have an affair with her, so she would rather stay far away from a man like that. In this world, there are not many people as sincere as Li Zhiyan. After hanging up the phone... Gu Wanzhou was unable to contain the distress in her heart as she remembered what Li Meifg had said. Rao Shi Yun wouldn''t really have breastfed Li Zhiyan, would she? He was just an 8-year-old kid. But wh she thought about Li Zhiyan secretly kissing her and what she had se in the inte caf¨¦, she couldn''t deceive herself. Indeed, if she cooperated, Li Zhiyan could make her pregnant. "Rao Shi Yun, you wouldn''t really do that kind of thing with an 8-year-old kid, would you?" ... Upon oping the door to the inte caf¨¦... Li Zhiyan was also somewhat surprised; as the system was upgrading the caf¨¦, he wondered what it would turn out to be. He never expected that the tire caf¨¦''s decor had be changed. The chairs have be reced, and the quirky slogans on the walls are gone. The only thing that hasn''t changed is that theputers in the inte cafe look just as old as before. After checking the system''s description, Li Zhiyan realized that theputers had be upgraded internally, and now ying games was much smoother than before, not just by a little bit. "Fine willows make dustpans, coarse ones make buckets¡ªthose who mind an uglyputer are few!" As long as theputer runs smoothly, nothing else matters. Besides, the system also featured subsequt automatic marketing. "Brother Yan, you didn''t spd all the upgrade money on rovations, right? The inte cafe looks a lot brighter now!" After bringing Li Shiyu and a few others to the second floor, Li Zhiyan discovered that the decorations there had also bepletely changed. "Theseputers might look the same as before, but I had someone upgrade them on the inside." "Just y CF and Dungeon Fighter now and you''ll see what I mean." Filled with doubt, Li Shiyu turned on aputer and logged in with the admin ount. Heunched CF, and indeed, aputer that previously took three to five minutes to load thest bit now tered the game instantly! "Wow!" "Brother Yan, theseputers are great¡ªthey feel ev faster than those in Dreand!" "This upgrade is amazing!" Next, he proceeded to test out the other machines and, as expected, they all ran very smoothly. "Alright, let''s get ready for business." Li Shiyu cleared his throat, and with a bit of swagger said, "All employees, follow me downstairs. I''ll teach you some work procedures." Downstairs, some loyal members of Brotherhood Inte Cafe had already arrived. "Boss, will the 0-yuan inte bonus be credited today?" A few kids sounded timid, as if they were afraid the boss might go back on his word. "Don''t worry, everyone who registered that day can get their inte credits. Manager, add the money for them." Hearing himself being called manager, Li Shiyu felt quite honored. Th, the rest of the loyal members also arrived one after another. They were ustomed to using the inte at Brotherhood Inte Cafe because it was quieter, and no one ever had to fight for the toilet¡ªthere was no need to queue up at any time. Upon seeing the brand-new rovations in the cafe, all of their eyes lit up. After receiving their inte credits, they praised the cafe for its integrity. As the members started logging on to theirputers, they noticed something was amiss¡ªthe machines seemed much smoother and the inte was much faster. One member downloaded a torrt and the seed file oped up rapidly, with the download speed incredibly fast! "Boss, howe theputers seem so much faster now?" Li Zhiyan spoke up loudly, "All theputers at Brotherhood Inte Cafe have be updated." "So, from now on, you cane here and y with peace of mind, Dungeon Fighter won''tg ev if you run multiple instances." Following the system upgrades, customer reviews were clearly raving. Moreover, some kids ev st messages to their ssmates, calling them to surf the inte at Brotherhood Inte Cafe. In the afternoon, thework administrators had all learned the basic operations such as logging on and off theputers. After Li Shiyu scheduled them for day and night shifts, the inte cafe''s workflow was briefly established. He grabbed a bottle of ice-cold Coke and sat down beside Li Zhiyan, who was ying CF. Li Shiyu asked, "Brother Yan, how do you think I''m doing as a manager? I hav''t embarrassed you, have I?" "You''ve done well. From now on, just y games here. You can drink Coke anytime on me." "These twowork administrators can handle things. Juste out and deal with issues if necessary." "If you can''t handle it, give me a call." The phone number Sun Ziyi left was for solving problems. There are many ins and outs to running an inte cafe. "Okay, I never expected I''d have a day where I could surf the inte for free all day long, all thanks to Brother Yan''s gerosity." Following that, Li Shiyu also logged into CF and started ying with Li Zhiyan. As Li Zhiyan was gaming, he calcted the time. He believed it was also a good time to go look for the ss monitor''s mother, Fang Zhiya. The system''s description depicted Fang Zhiya as very traditional, but to what extt? In his mind, Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun were already the epitome of tradition. Just th, the sound of high heels clicking approached, causing Li Shiyu to look towards the door instinctively. Upon looking, he was startled without meaning to. "Teacher''s wife!" "What brings you to Brotherhood Inte Cafe?" Today, Jiang Xian was still dressed in a blouse paired with a ck bodycon skirt, her exceptionally fairplexion bearing that unique charm of a mature woman. "What''s wrong, can''t Ie to Brotherhood Inte Cafe?" "This area isn''t far from the school, so I have to keep an eye on it." "Li Shiyu, why are you so formally dressed today?" "Did you go on a blind date?" Upon tering, Jiang Xian noticed Li Zhiyan as well. Jiang Xian had a very good impression of Li Zhiyan, who had rectly be chatting with her oft on QQ. Li Shiyu replied somewhat proudly, "Teacher''s wife, I am now the manager of Brotherhood Inte Cafe, hce the need to dress formally." Jiang Xian was puzzled. "Manager?" "Isn''t this the inte cafe that''s usually empty? Howe there''s ev a position for a manager now? Oh right, it seemed to have closed a few days ago." Jiang Xian''s day job was quite rxed, as she usually helped the head teacher look for studts who were skipping school to use the inte. After all, head teachers earn a lot, with their tutoring fees at the review cter, plus the gifts from studts and ie from private tutoring on the side. With over twty thousand a monthfortably, Jiang Xian''s daily s to catch studts were purely a leisurely activity. "The closure was because the inte cafe needed to be refurbished and upgraded." "Teacher''s wife, Brother Yan actually bought this ce." "He''s now the owner of Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Standing behind Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian found it hard to believe what she was hearing, and suddly Li Zhiyan, sitting there, seemed all the more attractive. Who wouldn''t like a talted, skilled, and capable youngster! He''s only 8 years old, and at 8, he already owns his inte cafe! With over a hundred machines, across two floors, buying it must have cost hundreds of thousands. How did he earn so much money! "Li Zhiyan, is this true?" "Mmhmm, Teacher''s wife, I''ve always had the dream of owning an inte cafe, and I made some money rectly, so I decided to make it a reality." Chapter 42: 040 Traditional class leader mom, small trees can also bear large fruits. Jiang Xian, with her fair skin, seemed to heave with each breath. Her 36D bosom appeared rather majestic. Li Zhiyan''s words were quite in, but to her, they indeed carried considerable impact. Oping an inte cafe was no big deal; she wasn''t the kind of woman who hadn''t se the world. But Li Zhiyan was only 8, and he was able to op an inte cafe. It seemed she would have to get to know this kid better in the future. Her past understanding of him was all wrong. "Th, in the future, Auntie shoulde here to chat with Xiao Yan wh you have nothing to do, since Auntie is always a this area''s inte cafes." Li Zhiyan immediately said, "You are wee toe and find me at any time, I''ll keep youpany and have a chat, Auntie." "You have always be a very important elder to me in my heart." Jiang Xian was somewhat moved by how earnest Li Zhiyan was. After looking a, she bid Li Zhiyan farewell, her mind wholly upied by the fact that he, at 8, owned an inte cafe. Thinking about the difficulties Y Zhgjin had caused him, Li Shiyu felt quite annoyed. "Auntie is really pretty, and that damned homeroom teacher of ours, what right does he have, fuck!" "Brother Yan, conquer Auntie!" Li Zhiyan was dead serious. "What nonsse are you talking about." "Auntie is a married woman, we can''t do that kind of thing, it''s immoral, understand?" Li Shiyu was unconcerned. "Wouldn''t that be more thrilling..." "I think that if Brother Yan made a move, Auntie would definitely like you." "Conquer her, get revge on Y Zhgjin." Li Zhiyan said nothing, immoral acts couldn''t be done. They really couldn''t be done. Really couldn''t... ... That afternoon, Li Zhiyan checked the time and ce and wt to Xinli Company. nning to resolve the matter with Fang Zhiya. After spding all his savings, Li Zhiyan was truly hungry. A whole fifty thousand yuan in prize money, he couldn''t miss out on it. Just as he reached the office building where Xinli Company was located, Li Zhiyan saw a beautiful middle-aged woman holding up a banner below thepany. From a distance, Li Zhiyan was somewhat captivated. He had heard from Li Shiyu that the ss monitor''s mom was very beautiful. But he hadn''t expected her to be so beautiful; although she was over 40, her skin was still fair and delicate. To describe her appearance in four words couldn''t be more apt: "petite and exquisite jade." Her demeanor also carried an extreme gtless, and in her pair of bright eyes, the word "gtless" was writt all over. She gave people a feeling of tder affection. At this momt, next to her was the ss monitor, Liu Yaolong. "Mom! Stop humiliating yourself here, will you? It''s just a sry of five thousand yuan and you want everyone toe andugh at you?" At this time, Liu Yaolong was still lost in his rect pleasant dreams; he felt that mere five thousand yuan was such a small amount and that his mother making a sce was truly embarrassing. Seeing her son like this, coupled with the memories of the supervisor who desperately wanted to sleep with her¡ª A man who used to be a frid of her husband''s, but who turned against her after her husband wt to prison, trying to force her to have an affair with him. She could no longer control her tears, which streamed down her face. "Son, we really need this money right now..." Before she could finish speaking, Liu Yaolong, in great anger, tore the banner behind him in half. "I''ll show you what''s embarrassing!" Li Zhiyan was a mama''s boy; he couldn''t stand to see a mother who was obviously good to her son being treated with such disrespect. He barely restrained himself from beating up Liu Yaolong right there. But he thought better of it; after all, Liu Yaolong didn''t do anything to him, and he would be legally responsible for attacking him. Liu Yaolong, who despised the shame his mother was bringing upon him, stomped on the banner a few times after tearing it and th left swiftly with a ssmate. Fang Zhiya sat on the g, feeling somewhat powerless. Her eyes were filled with disappointmt. She had never dreamed that wh she was merely demanding her sry, Her son and his ssmates would find her embarrassing ande tear up her banner. Li Zhiyan took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. If the ss monitor won''t take care of his mom, I will do it for him. "Aunt Fang." Li Zhiyan approached Fang Zhiya and gtly took her arm, attempting to help her up. Unexpectedly, the momt Li Zhiyan touched Fang Zhiya, She seemed to lose all her strgth and copsed. "You... let go of Auntie." Fang Zhiya was the type with an extremely ssitive constitution, and upon being touched by the opposite sex, not only would her hormones explode instantly, But her whole body would also be weak and limp. Li Zhiyan was startled; no wonder the system had called her traditional. After Li Zhiyan let go of Fang Zhiya, he handed her a tissue. She took the tissue and wiped her tears, Th Fang Zhiya slowly stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed as she said, "I''m sorry for making you see such an embarrassmt." "There have be quite a few issues at home rectly. You''re Yao Long''s ssmate, right?" Fang Zhiya was not tall, just over .6 meters, and absolutely counted as "petite and exquisite jade"pared to wom like Rao Shi Yun or Gu Wanzhou who were over .68 meters tall. Standing in front of Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan, who was of average height, ev appeared tall. "Yes, but I didn''t expect him to be such a beast." "My name is Li Zhiyan, and I''m the ss monitor''s ssmate. I''ve met you before." Fang Zhiya scrutinized the Li Zhiyan standing before her. Chapter 43: 040 Traditional class leader mom, small trees can also bear large fruits_2 She felt the face was somewhat unfamiliar, as if she had never se her son''s ssmate before. But since he knew this detail about her son, he must be right. "Aunt Fang, have a drink of water, it looks like you''re not feeling well," Fang Zhiya took the bottle of mineral water Li Zhiyan handed to her, and indeed, she was quite thirsty. The weather was already hot, and because her ample chest oft attracted unwanted atttion, she would always bind her breasts t before going out. Now, under the scorching sun, she was really suffering. After watching Fang Zhiya drink some water, Li Zhiyan finally asked, "Auntie, what happed?" "It''s nothing, it''s just that your uncle has run into some trouble rectly." "Now..." "He''s in prison." "The boss sees I''m a woman without a support, so he''s be bullying me, not paying my wage." As for Zhang Si trying to sleep with her, she didn''t mtion it at all. After all, Li Zhiyan was still just a child in her eyes, and it wasn''t appropriate to discuss these matters with him. Thinking of the humiliation she had dured over the past few days, Fang Zhiya''s tears once again threated to spill over. "Aunt Fang, let me help you get your money," Li Zhiyan knew that if he didn''t establish some emotional connection with Fang Zhiya now, he would never have any contact with this stunningly beautiful mature woman again. "You help Auntie get it? Forget it, Li Zhiyan, kids shouldn''t get involved in adults'' affairs," "I''ve called all those whistleblower numbers, to no avail." "Right now, I''m just a jinx that brings trouble to everyone." "Stay away from Auntie." In Fang Zhiya''s heart, Li Zhiyan was just a child. After her husband wt to prison, everybody seemed to want to bully her. Especially Zhang Si, who both overtly and covertly pressured her to sleep with him by checking into a hotel, and used minor work excuses as leverage. He held back her wage and after they had a falling out, he fired her outright. Now, she felt utterly helpless. Debt collectors would asionally appear at her home, and this way of life filled her with fear and dless anxiety. Sometimes, she ev thought of ding her life. She didn''t believe Li Zhiyan, a mere child, could solve her problems. "Aunt Fang, let me handle this matter," "Just trust me, and let''s sit over there in the shade for a bit. If we keep staying here, we might get heatstroke," At that momt, Fang Zhiya really felt unbearably hot. And since her son had torn down the banner and the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, continuing to fight for her wage here seemed pointless. "Okay." After following Li Zhiyan to the shaded spot, his gaze still asionally swept over Fang Zhiya''s pretty face. The ss leader''s mother was truly lovely. If she were to repeat the hardships she wt through in '', it would be such a waste. On the way, Li Zhiyan made a call to Liu Jingfg. "Hey, Liu, it''s me." "Aunt Fang has be wronged at yourpany." "They withheld a month''s sry." "I need you to take care of this for me." "Yes, Fang Zhiya." After briefly exining the situation, Li Zhiyan hung up and sat down with Fang Zhiya. Fang Zhiya felt somewhat dishearted. This kid was clearly just trying to cheer her up. Could a single phone call solve the problem? He was merely her son''s ssmate, only 8 years old. "Aunt Fang, drink some more water," "Don''t get heatstroke," "Ah..." As she drank the water Li Zhiyan gave her, Fang Zhiya''s eyes became moist again. This child, he really treated her quite well. Her own son despised her for making a sce by holding up banners to demand unpaid wages, finding it embarrassing. Yet her son''s ssmate showed her such concern. If only Li Zhiyan were her son, how wonderful that would be. At that momt, Li Zhiyan noticed that due to the heat, sweat had soaked through Fang Zhiya''s blouse. And Fang Zhiya''s chest seemed to be bound with cloth, which made them look dispersed and appear like a size B. If the cloth were removed, they should be 36D! However, she had a slder and frail figure. This truly was a small tree bearing heavy fruit! Aunt Fang was really too traditional, probably afraid of other people''s gossip. "Xiao Yan, no matter what, ev if you are just trying to amuse Auntie, I thank you," she said. "Nowadays, no one is willing to bother with Auntie anymore, the phone numbers of those former frids can''t ev be reached." She was well aware that a child was incapable of resolving such matters. Their rtionships were far tooplex. Ordinary small-timers simply couldn''t fight against them. Li Zhiyan said with a smile, "Well, Auntie, from now on I am your frid, and you can contact me whever you like." Fang Zhiya nodded gtly. Wh all in life seemed hopeless, this ssmate of her son appeared before her like a ray of light in the darkness, suddly emerging. At that time, Li Zhiyan gtly took hold of Fang Zhiya''s hand again. A soft and delicate ssation came through, and Li Zhiyan felt that Fang Zhiya''s body seemed to soft, and her pretty face was covered in blush. "Xiao Yan, don''t touch Auntie''s hand, m and wom should not touch hands," she said somewhat embarrassedly. After confirming that Aunt Fang was extremely ssitive by nature, Li Zhiyan dared not touch Fang Zhiya again. Before long... A balding middle-aged man rushed out from the building. Fang Zhiya was somewhat stunned, because the person approaching her was other than Zhang Si, who wanted to sleep with her. Zhang Si always referred to her affectionately as "younger sister-inw" and treated her husband as a brother. The two m oft drank and yed cards together, but after her husband was imprisoned, he showed his true colors, repeatedly attempting to harass her unsessfully, and drove her to her currt predicamt. In Fang Zhiya''s heart, this man was the one she hated most. "Mister Li, I''m sorry, I truly didn''t know Miss Fang was your frid," said Zhang Si. "Here''s t thousand yuan, and five thousand of it ispsation for Miss Fang, what do you think?" Zhang Si discreetly eyed his "younger sister-inw." His eyes were filled with greed. But at this momt, he did not dare to show his desire in front of Li Zhiyan. He had be to his good brother''s home, and knew that the sister-inw liked to wrap her chest. Once freed at home, it was truly a small tree with heavy fruit! Whever he wt out, he would imagine the masseuse as Fang Zhiya¡ªshe was already 4, and if not for her being so beautiful and having such a nice figure, would he still be fixated on her now? He had thought that once his good brother wt to jail, he could have his desires fulfilled. But unexpectedly, he had stirred up major trouble, this woman actually had connections, and the major shareholder of thepany had called him directly. If this matter wer''t handled well, his job would really be on the line! Fang Zhiya sat there, unable to speak. She had always thought of Li Zhiyan as just an 8-year-old kid, assuming his phone call was just child''s y. But now, not only had she gott her money back, but there was also an extra five thousand, clearly Zhang Si was truly scared. Her son''s ssmate, just what kind of backg did he have! Chapter 44: 041 Is Gu Wanzhou more important than me? The lost Rao Shi Yun Li Zhiyan received t thousand yuan. He waved his hand, signaling for him to scram quickly. To be able to do this was ough; after all, he was only an old family frid of Liu Jingfg, and this Zhang Si was, in the d, his man. So, Li Zhiyan wasn''t too harsh. "Thank you." "Th I''ll be leaving first, sorry about this, Miss Fang." Zhang Si felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. Before leaving, he stealthily took onest look at Fang Zhiya. What a pity, this woman was too fiery, still unwilling to bow her head ev wh pushed to a wall. From now on, there was no longer any connection betwe him and this stunning, mature beauty. ¡­ Holding the hefty t thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan felt what was meant by "a beauty brings trouble". The wom of the older geration were indeed very traditional. Such as Gu Wanzhou, Rao Shiyun, and Fang Zhiya before him. But there were also many things that seemed far more morally bankruptpared to 4 years ago. He had heard of things happing in cornfields with fathers-inw and... And in his hometown vige, a middle-aged woman, because other m were having affairs and her husband was not, feeling she had lost face, called another woman over and watched her sleep with her husband. Such cases were dless. Ev shocking evts like this image! Some legds oped Li Zhiyan''s eyes wide. Many born in the ''70s were more promiscuous than the young people, with some m thinking of nothing but that one thing. Thus, it wasn''t hard to understand why Rao Shiyun and others had so many suitors. With their kind of beauty, coupled with more frequt interactions with people, if no one were interested, that would be truly odd¡ªthose uncles thought of only one thing, sleep and nothing else. "Aunt Fang, please take your sry." Fang Zhiya didn''t know whether or not to ept it; under normal circumstances, she wouldn''t have be able to retrieve her own money. But now, this kid had gott her sry back for her, and ev added an extra five thousand. "Xiao Yan." After Fang Zhiya took the t thousand yuan, she handed half of it to Li Zhiyan. "Auntie thanks you, keep this five thousand as your sry," she said. "This half is to thank you." Li Zhiyan didn''t ept it; if he took this five thousand yuan, there would barely be any connection left betwe him and Aunt Fang. "Aunt Fang, please keep it. You are my elder, and it''s only right for me to help you. I can''t take your money," he said. "Besides, with my uncle locked up, you have no source of ie; this is the time wh you need money the most." "If you really want to thank me, how about making me a meal someday?" "I am quite fond of tasting other people''s cooking." Fang Zhiya''s eyes got red, and she nodded, uttering a "Hmm." She felt an urge to throw herself into the child''s arms and cry her heart out; she had never before felt so helpless and alone. In the darkness, Li Zhiyan was the only one who reached out a helping hand to her. "Auntie, you''re all wet." "With the weather like this, I should take you home to change into dry clothes first," he said. "Otherwise, feeling all sticky must be quite ufortable." "Right, you should op a new bank ount for the money." Fang Zhiya felt utterly helpless in her heart; at this momt, Li Zhiyan became her only lifeline. "Hmm¡­" She returned home with Li Zhiyan and saw the red paint sttered on the wall. Fang Zhiya worried that Li Zhiyan might be scared. However, she rxed after she saw that he didn''t seem bothered by it at all. "The house has be auctioned off by the court, and I guess they''lle to seal it up in a few days," she said. "We''ll have to rt a ce to live after that. I''m sorry, Xiao Yan, for making you witness this disgrace." As Fang Zhiya oped the door, Li Zhiyan saw that the living room had be practically stripped bare; the way debts were collected these days was just that brutal. It seemed that his ss leader''s father did indeed owe quite a lot of money wh he was in business. "There''s nowhere to sit now, you can just find a spot," she said. "I''ll go take a shower first." After being exposed to the sun earlier, Fang Zhiya indeed felt ufortable, especially as her tube top was soaked with sweat. "Auntie, you go first. I''ll just sit a here," he replied. "Okay." Fang Zhiya wt to the master bedroom, and soon, the sound of the shower running stirred Li Zhiyan''s restlessness. It wasn''t long before Fang Zhiya came out. She had changed into ck pants and a shirt,pletely bundled up. Only th did Li Zhiyan recall that this woman seemed to never show her legs¡ªtruly very traditional. "Xiao Yan, you wer''t waiting anxiously, were you?" she asked. "Hmm..." Li Zhiyan nced at her and sure ough, without the constraints, Fang Zhiya''s full figure was fully disyed within his line of sight. A petite "jade girl" of 60, with such fruitful bounty¡ªit was indeed remarkable. "Xiao Yan, you''re really impressive. At 8, you could help Auntie solve such a big problem," she said. "Otherwise, Auntie wouldn''t ev know where to get the money to rt a ce." "If Auntie could have a son as good as you, that would be great." Fang Zhiya attempted to grasp Li Zhiyan''s hand. But remembering her physical condition, she refrained. After all, there should be no intimate contact betwe m and wom. So she just watched the boy, and that was fine too. Li Zhiyan remained silt for a momt¡ªwhat, was he now the dream lover of many aunties? Everyone wants to have a son like this. "Xiao Yan, what are you doing now?" Fang Zhiya thought that Li Zhiyan must be involved with some business or job to resolve her problems so swiftly. She also remembered that her son mtioned Li Zhiyan wh he was home, and her husband had ev instructed her son to give Li Zhiyan a hard time to curry favor with the ss teacher. Realizing Li Zhiyan was like an emy to her son, her shame deeped. For someone from a poor family like Li Zhiyan to havee this far, he must have had some talt. "Auntie, after I graduated, I started running an Inte Cafe, so I also know a few people." "It just so happed that I was able to help with your problem." "I didn''t expect to run into you there by coincidce." A glint of admiration flickered in Fang Zhiya''s eyes. "You run an Inte Cafe?" "Is it money from your family?" "Aunt Fang, no, it''s the money I''ve earned from doing Frch trantion work." Li Zhiyan realized the skills the system had giv him were really useful, especially wh others asked about his ie sources. He could easily exin it, after all, earning money by tranting Frch or by programming was indeed usible, and once the Inte Cafe was up and running, his ie was ev easier to justify. "You also know Frch!" Fang Zhiya''s eyes brimmed with maternal pride as she looked at Li Zhiyan. She looked from Li Zhiyan to her own son... "Xiao Yan, Auntie is really vious of your mother for having such a good son." "Yesterday, I asked Liu Yaolong to prepare to move out and rt a ce with me." "But he refused to live in a rtal property and ran off to stay with a frid instead." "And today, he evined that I embarrassed him." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya could barely hold back her tears. "Aunt Fang, don''t cry, life has to go on, doesn''t it?" "If he doesn''t want to be with you, just think of him as not your son, and from now on, consider me as your son." Li Zhiyan''s joke greatly improved Fang Zhiya''s mood. The more she spoke with Li Zhiyan, the more she liked him. "Aunt Fang, do you use QQ?" "I don''t have a QQ ount." Li Zhiyan fell silt for a momt. This woman was indeed traditional, not ev having a QQ ount. He guessed she was probably the type to wait until WeChatunched before registering. "Th let''s exchange mobile numbers. Wh you have time,e to my Inte Cafe, and I''ll help you register a QQ ount. That way, it will be convit for us to chat in the future." "Okay." After chatting with Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya''s mood became much more stable. They exchanged mobile numbers, and after talking a bit more, Li Zhiyan left. Leaving the ss leader''s ce, Li Zhiyan couldn''t stop thinking about Fang Zhiya in her revealing outfit and her appearce after she freed herself from it. The momt he saw the contrast, Li Zhiyan felt his brain go nk. The visual impact was astounding. Putting away his strange thoughts, Li Zhiyan oped the system. The system task waspleted, and the fifty thousand yuan had be credited to his ount. It was the paymt for a programming project he had done online for apany. Every paymt was clear and ounted for. However, there were no new tasks yet, but with fifty thousand yuan in hand, Li Zhiyan was not in a hurry. After visiting the Brotherhood Inte Cafe and seeing it still not crowded, Li Zhiyan understood that the system''s marketing also required time. Anyway, with a fixed thirty thousand yuan of pure profit monthly, he didn''t need to worry too much. ... In the eving, Li Meifg called Rao Shi Yun. "Miss Rao, the great beauty." "What''s up, remembered to call me?" At the momt, Rao Shi Yun was applying a facial mask. Her skin was so fair,rgely thanks to her regr skincare routine. In this era, most wom over forty didn''t look good anymore. Except for a few with naturally great skin, only those from economically well-off families could still look young and beautiful at forty. "I wonder if you''re breastfeeding Li Zhiyan!" Rao Shi Yun''s face heated up slightly. She was more resilit than Gu Wanzhou. But only to an extt. "Nonsse, just tell me what you want, I''m about to sleep!" "It''s about Li Zhiyan." "The kid?" Rao Shi Yun''s curiosity was piqued. "Yes, about the kid. I want to ask you, if you had to choose betwe your husband and him, who would you pick?" "I bet the kid really wants you to breastfeed him." "Alright, stop your nonsse, or I''m hanging up." Rao Shi Yun''s mind involuntarily conjured up some images. "Okay, okay. Did you know the kid bought an Inte Cafe?" "I had no idea." "I bet you didn''t know, and that''s what Gu Wanzhou and I were discussing! This shows that in the kid''s heart, your position has slippedpared to Miss Gu!" "Look at you, still prudish with your D+ breasts, not willing to give a few sips to the kid." "Now, he''s got Gu Wanzhou to feed him." "Although her 36D is a little smaller than yours, not ough to overfeed the kid, she can still fill him up, can''t she?" Rao Shi Yun didn''t respond to Li Meifg''s crass words, but she felt a sse of loss within. How did Gu Wanzhoue to know of this? Why hadn''t the kid mtioned it to her? "I called you to discuss something." "Let''s visit the kid''s Inte Cafe one day, to congratte him and give him a big red velope." Chapter 45: 042 The intrinsic hostility between Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun As for Li Zhiyan, this child, Li Meifg was still quite fond of him, after all, Li Zhiyan had helped her out a great deal in the past. "Mmm." "Okay, we''ll go and see the kid together at that time." Li Meifg continued, "How about tomorrow? I''m free tomorrow, and I''ll call Gu Wanzhou." "Are you avable tomorrow?" "We all like this child, it would be nice to all go together to give a red velope." "Mmm, okay, I''lle to your office th." Rao Shiyun''s heart wasn''t quite set on going with Gu Wanzhou. Li Meifg contemted the matter concerning Gu Wanzhou. She felt somewhat worried. "Oh right, there''s another thing. The inte cafe the kid bought is in a terrible location, and the former owner seems to have be unable to keep it running. Gu Wanzhou came to me to ask if I had frids who ran inte cafes, looking for ways to revive the ce." "It seems like the kid might be in trouble." Gu Wanzhou was quite worried, for though the kid was talted, he was practically clueless wh it came to business. The location is crucial for an inte cafe, and it was clear Li Zhiyan had made a misstep. He might lose all his savings. "I''ll also make some calls to see if any of my frids run inte cafes, and if I can help Xiao Yan, I will." After hanging up the phone, she felt somewhat dazed. What was up with her? She and Gu Wanzhou used to be best frids. But now she was starting to feel hostility towards her. Could it be, because of what Li Meifg said just now? Did she really want to be with Li Zhiyan? Thinking back to wh Li Meifg asked her to choose betwe her husband and the child, she felt her heart might have stopped for a momt. Things seemed to be heading in an unsettling direction. "I can''t keep having wild thoughts..." "Better to think of ways to help the kid make his inte cafe sessful." Rao Shiyun knew that she and her husband shared twty years of emotions, and they were discussing remarriage at the d of the year. Fantasizing was truly unfair to her husband and son. Still, her heart felt uneasy. Thinking about Gu Wanzhou made her heart ache. Why did Li Zhiyan inform Gu Wanzhou about the inte cafe purchase instead of her? Could it be that in his heart, Gu Wanzhou''s importance surpassed her own? After a long while, she dialed Li Zhiyan''s phone number. Their contact had actually reduced a bit rectly, due to the incidt under the willow tree. It oft echoed in Rao Shiyun''s mind. Making it hard for her to forget, it would resurface every time she spoke with Li Zhiyan. She ev taught Li Zhiyan how to kiss and to find her tongue. Thinking about it was embarrassing. "Hello, Auntie Rao." The voice of Li Zhiyan, appearing to have just wok up, th spoke. Rao Shiyun th asked, "Xiao Yan, did I wake you up?" "No, Auntie Rao, I dozed off for a bit, it doesn''t matter, I''m young with plty of ergy." Rao Shiyun remembered how ergetically Li Zhiyan had searched for her tongue. He certainly had plty of vigor. "I heard you oped an inte cafe." "Yes, Auntie Rao, how did you know?" Li Zhiyan was surprised; as far as he knew, only Gu Wanzhou was aware of it. "Aunt Gu mtioned it, if Gu Wanzhou hadn''t told me, how long were you nning to keep it a secret from me?" At this point, Li Zhiyan also realized, Auntie Rao was feeling jealous. "Auntie Rao, it''s not that I didn''t tell you, I hav''t told anyone." "Th how would Aunt Gu know about it?" "Auntie Rao, because the previous owner of the inte cafe was Aunt Gu''s cousin, she was prest wh I bought it." "So she found out first." Lying in bed, Rao Shiyun felt a sse of relief wash over her, it seemed she had be overthinking it. Li Zhiyan had not deliberately informed Gu Wanzhou alone. At least Gu Wanzhou''s ce in his heart wasn''t so special. Ev though he was pursuing Gu Wanzhou, it was unlikely she would agree to a rtionship with him. "Mmm, I see, Auntie, I''ve heard that your inte cafe is not in a great location." Sitting upright on his bed, Li Zhiyan felt a warm feeling inside. An auntie is better than a young girl, they always think about one''s troubles and how to help resolve them. While young girls are thinking about how to extract money and wring out one''s value. "Yes, it''s true, but don''t worry, Auntie, I have ways to fix it." Rao Shiyun felt that Li Zhiyan was probably just putting on a brave face; after all, young kids always act tough in front of their elders, so she didn''t call him out. "Good, Xiao Yan, get some rest soon, your Aunt Li and I will visit your inte cafe tomorrow." "Okay, Auntie Rao, you rest well too." After ding the call with Li Zhiyan, Rao Shiyun was in good spirits. It seemed that the kid wasn''t as she had imagined, showing extra affection towards Gu Wanzhou and telling only her about the inte cafe. "Rao Shiyun, oh Rao Shiyun, what''s gott into you? Could it be that you''re really falling for a child?" A sse of guilt surfaced. She felt she had truly wronged her husband. Not only had she kissed a kid 4 years her junior, but she seemed to have developed some differt feelings for him. ... The next day, Li Zhiyan powered up the system and saw that the marketing was starting to show results. The system had created aplete recharge bonus and check-in system for inte time. Chapter 46: 042 The intrinsic hostility between Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun_2 Moreover, the inte cafe''s managemt system has be reced with a custom-designed system. It includes game saves, QQ ount memory, private disk, and ultra-fast downloads, among other features. Looking at the system''s introduction, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but feel vious. Wh he was young, why wer''t there inte cafes this good? Especially the ultra-fast downloads ¨C that''s like a dreame true! ording to the system''s prompts, by one o''clock in the afternoon, the inte cafe would start to get packed, and from th on it would be full every day. "It looks like I''ll really be making a stable profit of thirty thousand, waking up to a thousand bucks in my ount every day!" "Those two hundred thousand were really well spt!" Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but admire his twty again. Wh Li Zhiyan arrived at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe in the morning, he saw Li Shiyu there frowning and spacing out. "Boss, why ar''t you ying games?" This hardcore gaming addict not gaming was truly surprising to Li Zhiyan; normally, he should be drinking c and exploiting bugs in the New Year''s Square. "Brother Yan, I have a headache. Although our business has picked up a bit, usually we only get about t to twty customers. Continuing like this, after paying employee sries, we''re going to lose money." "No wonder Sun Ziyi wanted to get rid of the inte cafe, two hundred thousand for an inte cafe really was too cheap. Ev after rovating and having fasterputers, it doesn''t seem to do much." Li Zhiyan sat down, saying nonchntly, "Don''t worry." "I assure you business will pick up soon because I''ve already done some market marketing. Enough with the frowns." "Log in and y a couple of s of CF." Saying that, Li Zhiyan felt a bit of a pity. Out of Tct''s big three games, only two were avable now. LOL only had the NA server, and the domestic server wouldn''t be online until next year. Otherwise, he could have yed a couple s of LOL and, with his experice, easily dominated the newbies joining the game, being something of a ''Random King'' without much problem. "Alright, if Brother Yan says so, I''m reassured!" Li Shiyu logged into CF and started ying with Li Zhiyan, while the girl managing the bar stood by, her eyes filled with yearning as she watched him. At this point, another system mission was released. "Because your cafe is so popr, Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun are very curious as to why it''s sessful. Please exin in detail." "Mission reward: twty thousand in cash." This task was incredibly simple, making Li Zhiyan feel like he was picking up money... ... A nine in the morning, Rao Shiyun''s Audi A6 stopped outside Li Meifg''spany building. Once she reached the geral manager''s office, she saw Li Meifg grossed in something on herputer. "Meifg, can we set off now?" "Wait a second, I''m looking at colors." Li Meifg appeared to be focused intsely. "What color?" "Just skin color." "I''m coffee bean color." "Rao, what''s your skin color?" Rao Shiyun didn''t expect that Li Meifg was bing crazier as time wt by. She nced at her skin: peach pink. "You''re always looking at these weird things online." "No wonder your thoughts are bing more and more that way." "Let''s just get going!" Li Meifg stood up, looking at Rao Shiyun with vy. "Rao, I''m really vious of you and Gu Wanzhou." "The older you get, the more womanly you be, unlike me, whom nobody wants." "Let''s go meet up with Gu Wanzhou first, th we''ll all head together. Zhang Hongbin is alsoing, and there seems to be another inte cafe owner joining as well, who wants to offer some advice to that kid of yours." Rao Shiyun was pleasantly surprised; she tried calling but couldn''t find anyone in her circle who owned an inte cafe. She never expected Gu Wanzhou to find someone. Regardless, this would finally be a way to help Li Zhiyan. "Okay, let''s go th." "Just get into my car directly." After driving Li Meifg to the agreed location, she saw Gu Wanzhou''s Mercedes E-ss and a BMW 5 series trailing behind, which she recognized as Zhang Hongbin''s car. Zhang Hongbin stood there, sharing his views expansively with Gu Wanzhou. "My frid Brother Wang runs a professional chain of inte cafes." "It was only after begging him for a long time that Brother Wang came over from Zhe Province." "He owns over a doz cafes now, more than ough to help that kid out." During thest meeting at the Xinyuan Hotel, Zhang Hongbin was especially impressed with Li Zhiyan because the kid was Gu Wanzhou''s suitor. His own rival in love, he hadn''t tak him seriously at first. It wasn''t until he saw how Li Zhiyan handled the situation with Liu Yan that he felt a sse of crisis. Hearing that Gu Wanzhou was looking for someone to help with the inte cafe, he managed to get his frid Wang Shgli all the way from Zhe Province. After all, it was a rare opportunity to get closer to Gu Wanzhou, while also showing her that although the kid was young and unreliable in adversity, it was mature m like himself that could be depded on. "Wanzhou." "Shiyun." The two exquisite mature wom, because of Li Meifg''s words, began to hold att rivalry towards each other, each wanting to bring Li Zhiyan closer into their own circles. Though for various practical reasons they couldn''tmit to anything substantial with him, their instinctual desire to possess led to an emerging rift betwe Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun. Chapter 47: 042 The intrinsic hostility between Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun_3 Wang Shgli''s eyes lit up wh he saw Rao Shi Yun. This Zhang Hongbin''s frid is not bad, so pretty and with such a full figure, just the type he liked. "Hello, my name is Wang Shgli, I run a chain of inte cafes in Zhe Province." "Hello, I''m Rao Shi Yun, and this is Li Meifg." After exchanging pleasantries for a while. Wang Shgli felt he had a chance with this girl, nning toter visit the kid''s inte cafe to offer some advice and show off his abilities, he would get Rao Shi Yun''s contact information first. M are always like this, ev at the age of 60, they still want to show off in front of beautiful wom, and Wang Shgli was no exception. "Let''s go." Rao Shi Yun really missed Li Zhiyan, as she hadn''t se him for a while now. The awkwardness of their kiss had almost faded, and she felt it was about time she had a proper chat with Li Zhiyan. The three cars just happed to form the tebination 56E, and they drove to the Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Getting out of the car, Rao Shi Yun saw the back of Li Zhiyan in the inte cafe, and for some reason, the image of him teaching her how to lick her tongue popped up in her mind again. Making her face feel a little hot. Li Zhiyan also saw the three cars parked outside, he quit his game and came out to wee everyone in. "Aunt Gu, Auntie Rao." "Hello uncles." Li Zhiyan remembered Zhang Hongbin, although he didn''t have much of a liking for him, Zhang Hongbin was clearly with Gu Wanzhou, and he couldn''t disrespect Gu Wanzhou in front of him. Rao Shi Yun had many things she wanted to say to Li Zhiyan, but it was obviously not convit now, and she didn''t know where to start. "This inte cafe''s location is really not that great," "So secluded, no wonder business is bad." "Li Zhiyan, taking over this inte cafe is going to be a loss for sure." Zhang Hongbin started belittling Li Zhiyan right away, and ev though this guy was just a kid, Zhang Hongbin was pursuing Gu Wanzhou, so he felt a deep hostility towards Li Zhiyan. Especially after seeing how Gu Wanzhou leaned so close to Li Zhiyan as soon as she arrived, he felt an intse sse of crisis, Gu Wanzhou had far too many suitors. But this kid really made him feel threated. "Hmm, uncle is right." Li Zhiyan didn''t feel like talking much with him. Looking at Rao Shi Yun in front of him. He too recalled the incidt under the willow tree, wanting to get closer to Aunt Gu was really tough, especially since Aunt Gu''s chest was impressivelyrge. After direct contact, he realized how vast a woman''s bosom can be. "Zhang, this kid is a junior of a frid of mine." "He doesn''t know better, to have bought such an inte cafe." "Take a look, see if you can give some advice." "Help out this inte cafe, the kid doesn''t have much money, can''t afford to lose." Wang Shgli looked a, seemingly deep in thought. "I have over a doz chain inte cafes under my name, but I''ve never se a situation like this before. Every time before I op an inte cafe, I would select a good location and investigate the distribution of the suring cafes." "I''ve never done such a reckless thing like this. I need to think it over." Li Zhiyan was used to seeing this kind of low-level showing off. In reality, there are too many ordinary people who can''t keep their cool and like to show off everywhere. The kind of low-profile, unassuming temperamt, not ke on showing off, only belongs to the very few highly cultivated people. He also noticed that Wang Shgli''s eyes were asionally ncing at Auntie Rao. Beautiful wom do indeed spell trouble; the m who like Auntie Rao and Aunt Gu are just too many. But his impression in Auntie Rao''s heart was definitely not good anymore, Auntie Rao doesn''tck money, she can''t be moved by such osttatious behavior. He nced at Rao Shi Yun, and as expected, her eyes showed a hint of faint disgust wh looking at Wang Shgli. You might as well just think about it, but why mtion you have over a doz chain inte cafes... Also, after seeing the business situation of the inte cafe, Rao Shi Yun''s moodpletely sunk, this kid has brought her a big problem! "My dear, congrattions on your inte cafe''s oping, Aunt has prepared a red velope for you." Gu Wanzhou pulled out a thick red velope from her purse, which seemed like it contained three thousand yuan. Chapter 48: 043 Jealous Gu Rao! Gu Wanzhou was very gerous to Li Zhiyan. Although most of the people in their circle were small business owners with a bit of wealth. The usual cash gifts were about a thousand yuan. For Li Zhiyan, she gave three thousand, just because she liked the kid. "Thank you, Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan didn''t stand on ceremony, and directly epted the red velope. Li Meifg also gave Li Zhiyan a red velope, though not as gerous as Gu Wanzhou, just a thousand yuan. Li Zhiyan also thanked Li Meifg. "Thank you, Aunt Li." On the other side, Rao Shi Yun also took out a red velope, Auntie Rao''s red velope was as plump as her figure. It looked to be about five thousand yuan. Th, Zhang Hongbin and Wang Shgli also each took out a red velope, and theirs were also a thousand yuan. "Thank you, Uncle." Li Zhiyan thanked each in turn. Behind them, Li Shiyu was already admiring his best frid to the point of astonishmt. Brother Yan truly lived up to his name, while he himself was still happily thinking about joying ice-cold Coca-C and surfing the web every day. Brother Yan was already mingling with these bosses. And Yu Sisi''s mom and Liu Zifg''s mom had shown up, too. Perhaps, Brother Yan had already made his move! This was truly a man among m, the Lu Bu among Lu Bus. "Ladies and gtlem, let''s go to Xinyuan Hotel, I''ll treat you to a meal," It was about time for dinner. The proper protocols still had to be observed. "Okay,ter I''ll have a good talk with you about how to rejuvate the inte caf¨¦ business," Looking at Wang Chaoyang who seemed to havee up with some idea. Hope arose in Gu Wanzhou''s heart, hoping he coulde up with a good n. At the least, to make Li Zhiyan lose less money. Rao Shi Yun had the same thought... Although she felt she couldn''t see Li Zhiyan as a man, in terms of feelings, she really treated him like her own son. ... They arrived at the private room. Zhang Hongbin pulled out a chair, inviting Gu Wanzhou to sit. He wanted to sit next to Gu Wanzhou. That way, he could smell her sct. "No thanks, I''ll sit with Xiao Yan; kids are afraid of strangers," Gu Wanzhou found a suitable excuse. This made Zhang Hongbin somewhat annoyed; ever since this kid first appeared, he had be a significant obstacle in his pursuit of Gu Wanzhou! Kids being afraid of strangers, but could a kid really know how to pursue a 4-year-old woman? At this kid''s age, he could get you pregnant six or sev times in one night! "Girl,e sit by me," Wang Shgli also extded an invitation to Rao Shi Yun. However, Rao Shi Yun didn''t want to go to Wang Shgli''s side, and instead sat to the right of Li Zhiyan. "I''ll sit with Xiao Yan, too; have a chat with the child," Suddly, Li Zhiyan, having just sat down, found himself sured by Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun. Smelling the savory scting from the two mature aunts. Li Zhiyan also felt intoxicated by the atmosphere. Across from him, Zhang Hongbin and Wang Shgli both felt frustration with no outlet, as the wom didn''t want to sit with them, and it would be too shameless for them to force themselves over. And it wasn''t right topete with a kid for his aunt. Li Meifg sat down beside them with a smile. "I''ll sit with you guys," There were wom by their side, but Li Meifg''s average looks made themck thusiasm. Forty-year-old wom wer''t that interesting; it was just that Rao Shi Yun and Gu Wanzhou were extraordinarily beautiful. Li Meifg, a forty-year-old woman, wasn''t worth the effort. They''d rather go to a bathhouse and find a young masseuse. Looking at this familiar ce. Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but be nostalgic; the first time she misunderstood Li Zhiyan was here, wh she thought he was overreaching and had used some underhanded method to learn her whereabouts. Feigned destiny, but sheter realized that he truly had a fate with her! Ev buying an inte caf¨¦ led to a chance meeting. The group chatted away, with Wang Chaoyang intermitttly trying to converse with Rao Shi Yun. But Rao Shi Yun was just humoring him. "Sister, you''re divorced now, right?" "I think with your beauty and great figure, you can definitely find someone wealthier," Rao Shi Yun shook her head. "I and my husband are probably going to reconcile by the d of the year," As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at Li Zhiyan, feeling a vague sse of suffocation in her heart. Her words, in fact, were meant for Li Zhiyan to hear. She didn''t know what Li Zhiyan truly thought, but she felt that the kid had those kinds of feelings for her, the type betwe a man and a woman, and for Gu Wanzhou too. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have touched her thigh wh he was drunk, nor would he have wanted to kiss her passionately. After getting drunk, those are instinctive reactions. Yet, such an age differce was just too unrealistic. "Reconciling, girl, let me tell you, the road you''ve walked should not be retraced. If you were really meant for each other, you wouldn''t have divorced in the first ce; truly, you deserve better," Rao Shi Yun didn''t want to hear Wang Shgli''s nonsse. "Big Brother Wang, why don''t you talk about your experice running inte caf¨¦s; help the kid out," "He''s still young, this loss is too great for him," Zhang Hongbin chimed in from the side: "Don''t worry, Brother Wang will definitely have useful advice," "I want to help Presidt Gu, he will surely do his best," Both of them wanted to show off, hoping to win over the beauty sooner. Wang Shgli agreed: "Yes!" "My inte caf¨¦s are all doing well," Chapter 49: 043 Envious Gu Rao!_2 ``` "The best inte cafes can earn over a hundred thousand a month." "Actually, I used to run an inte cafe in a rather remote location." "That ce was just newly nned as an Economic Developmt Zone, basically deste." "Still, I managed to get the inte cafe up and running." "I could make about twty thousand a month." His words, spok and unspok, were all about showcasing his earning pottial. Unfortunately, it was of little use to Rao Shi Yun; her atttion was all on how to help this kid from her family." "Brother Wang, you''d better just tell us how to help Guai Guai''s inte cafe get started." Gu Wanzhou urged as well. Wang Shgli originally wanted to posture a bit to show off his financial strgth. But under the urging of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun, he had no choice but to talk business. "Young man, you better remember what your uncle is about to tell you." "If your inte cafe wants toe back from the dead, you can only rely on Marketing." "Uncle knows a bit about this stuff." "If you listpletely to what your uncle says, there''s this slim chance." Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun listed with some confusion. Li Zhiyan continued, "What you''re talking about is Marketing, market marketing, right?" Rao Shi Yun and Gu Wanzhou involuntarily turned towards Li Zhiyan. This kid knows this too? Gu Wanzhou remembered wh Li Zhiyan had talked about the subprime crisis. He''s really knowledgeable! "Xiao Yan, market marketing means advertising, right?" "Roughly speaking, marketing requires professionals who know how to strategize, such talt must possess the ability to explore how businesses can meet market demand, seeking ways to manage and innovate business models and other market principles, with the ultimate goal of satisfying customer needs and adapting to the modern market economy." "I think, Uncle probably wants to talk to me about this." Amazemt flickered in the beautiful eyes of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun. Li Zhiyan really knows everything! Wang Shgli subtly felt something was amiss. "Yes, that''s it." "You better list closely to what uncle is about to tell you next." Next, Wang Shgli began to offer Li Zhiyan advice and strategies. And after a few drinks, an embolded Wang Shgli started to spout nonsse, still trying to demonstrate his wit and financial acum. Such as hiring several wom in ultra-short skirts to attract customers. Listing to Wang Shgli''s words, Rao Shi Yun''s heart sank. Hiring beauties, giv the size of Brotherhood Inte Cafe, it simply couldn''t afford thebor costs. Besides, she noticed that Brotherhood Inte Cafe already had two inte supervisors and a store manager. Li Zhiyan was likely already losing money every month. Her disdain for Wang Shgli was now maxed out; it seemed that Xiao Yan''s inte cafe really had no chance to revive. The remote location coupled with poorputers were ough to seal its fate. Feeling a measure of pity, she held Li Zhiyan''s hand under the table and gtlyforted him; Rao Shi Yun found it very distressing. A slippery ssation came through; Li Zhiyan once again thought of seeking Auntie Rao''s tongue. But he knew it was not possible anymore. Gu Wanzhou also noticed that under the table, Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan''s hand. Frustrated, she reached for Li Zhiyan''s other hand. Thus, the hands of Li Zhiyan were monopolized by two stunningly beautiful mature wom. Li Zhiyan ssed an inexplicable tsion in the air. Both wom had significant reservations about letting him take the lead. Yet, they were both jealouslypeting on impulse. What on earth had happed rectly? Li Zhiyan didn''t know that it was all because of Li Meifg constantly stirring things up with her provocative talk, which made the wom feel sour whever they saw the other get close to Li Zhiyan. The following time, Wang Shgli kept offering suggestions on how to revive the inte cafe, and Zhang Hongbin also thought he had some good ideas; the two m chattered away for a solid hour. Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan had be fondling the hands of the two aunties under the table for an hour. ... In the afternoon, wh the group returned to Brotherhood Inte Cafe, it was already past one o''clock. At this point, Wang Shgli felt very good about himself and continued to expound on how to refurbish the inte cafe. Rao Shi Yun couldn''t be bothered to list to Wang Shgli''s drivel anymore and whispered, "Xiao Yan, let Auntie invest in your inte cafe. If it makes money, just give Auntie a share, I still have some money on hand." She wanted to relieve some of Li Zhiyan''s pressure. If it lost money, she''d consider it her own loss; who made her fond of the kid? If only he would agree to be her godson; th she wouldn''t have all these inexplicable tanglemts. What a pity... ``` Gu Wanzhou was also unwilling to show weakness. Her heart ached for Li Zhiyan, knowing that his inte cafe was doomed to lose money. She shouldn''t have believed his words back th and should have resolutely stopped him from buying this inte cafe! "Xiao Yan, Auntie also wants to buy a share." The war betwe the two wom was silt and breathless, but they had already begun topete in the shadows. At that momt, dozs of kids started streaming into the cafe one after another. Li Zhiyan knew that the system''s marketing had started to take effect. The business of the inte cafe had exploded! "Attdant, a machine for t yuan!" "I want to reserve a machine for the whole afternoon!" "Op a twty yuan machine!" "Three bottles of Coke, attdant!" The previously quiet inte cafe became incredibly lively in an instant. And people kept rushing in from afar! This bustling sce left Li Shiyu somewhat dumbfounded. Brother Yan is awesome! He said business would pick up, and suddly so many people came! The attdants, who had nothing to do, suddly found themselves in a flurry of activity. As each customer got on a machine, the noise level in the cafe grew louder and more chaotic. Li Zhiyan really liked this atmosphere; it was full of youthful ergy. "How is this possible..." Li Meifg was truly tak aback as she watched more and more people pour in. She racked her brains but couldn''t figure out how Li Zhiyan had managed to turn a an inte cafe that was on the verge of bankruptcy. And in the following fifte minutes, the cafe turned into aplete madhouse! The first floor was so packed it couldn''t fit any more people. The remaining customers had no choice but to go upstairs. Zhang Hongbin inwardly cursed, realizing this wasn''t good. He never expected this weirdo to be able to revive ev such an inte cafe. Gu Wanzhou wouldn''t be impressed by this and th lie there pregnant with his child. He had hoped to use this opportunity to gain a favorable impression from Gu Wanzhou. He wanted a chance to sleep with such a prime mature woman, but now he had not only failed to impress, he had be a clown. But now... At the age of 8, he really could have made Gu Wanzhou pregnant six or sev times in one night. Wang Shgli''s face grew hot with embarrassmt, wishing he could flee the sce immediately. All the strategizing from the past hour had turned into a joke! The key was that the kid had always just smiled and agreed with him. If he''d known he was this capable, he wouldn''t have made a fool of himself. ... "Xiao Yan, what''s going on? Why are there so many people?" Surprise and disbelief filled Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful eyes. This inte cafe was destined to fail on every level. But Li Zhiyan had managed to turn it a! She simply couldn''t understand how he did it in her heart. At that momt, Li Zhiyan also started to exin earnestly. This task was rted to his twty thousand cash bonus, so he couldn''t be careless. Anyway, he just needed to follow the system''s prompts to speak, and the twty thousand yuan might as well be free money. "Aunt Gu." "I rewrote thework managemt system." "I''ve added a lot of features, such as a personal disk, ount memory, and game loading optimization, among others." Gu Wanzhou''s heart was filled with astonishmt and delight at the same time. Li Zhiyan really had so much talt. The heavy stone in Rao Shi Yun''s heart finally settled. "Xiao Yan, just writing a program can''t bring in so many people all at once." Rao Shi Yun, recalling that Li Zhiyan could also program and speak Frch, couldn''t help but feel immse admiration. "Yes, Aunt Gu, I''ve be preparing for this for the past few days." "Giv its remote location, we could only rely on marketing and word of mouth." "For this, I designed a special recharge system." "Specifically to increase customer loyalty." "And I used dispersed advertising to spread the word among nearby target customers." "It spread from onemunicationwork to another." "From points to lines, from lines to surfaces, creating an information cocoon a the Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Rao Shi Yun asked curiously, "Xiao Yan, what does ''information cocoon'' mean?" She had never heard of this concept before! This kid really knew everything! Gu Wanzhou was incredibly unsettled inside. Li Zhiyan could ev design the inte cafe system himself! Li Zhiyan continued to exin: "Information cocoon is a concept proposed four years ago by American schr Cass Sunstein." Chapter 50: 044 Vinegar does not taste good! "People td to focus on information that aligns with their interests and viewpoints, creating a self-closed cocoon of information selection and processing." "Within this information cocoon, individuals only choose information consistt with their views and interests, ignoring or rejecting information that contradicts these views." "Amid the reltless fragmtation of marketing..." "I''ve managed to lock in all the pottial customers who go online at Inte cafes to my Brotherhood Inte Cafe." "So, the business of the Brotherhood Inte Cafe has improved slightly, and it looks like it can keep going." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan himself found it a bit far-fetched, but the system could indeed aplish such marketing, and with the Inte cafe now full, naturally, no one doubted his words. After all, the very purpose of the system was to eliminate the need for thinking. Both Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun looked at Li Zhiyan with a hint of admiration. This kid, how does he know everything and is ev capable of running a business? The location of the Inte cafe was so poor, and yet it had be revived in the hands of this child! Li Zhiyan''s words sounded like gibberish to Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun, but obviously, he made a lot of sse. Otherwise, the cafe''s business wouldn''t be booming like this. His theory had be verified in practice by the market, so it was naturally faultless. "Xiao Yan, did you study these things?" Rao Shi Yun asked curiously. "No, Auntie Rao, I researched these things by myself online before." "I never thought I''d actually use them." Zhang Hongbin and Wang Chaoyang both felt extremely awkward standing there. Especially Zhang Hongbin, whose sse of crisis grew stronger in the face of Li Zhiyan, this special rival. He truly felt a profound threat. Gu Wanzhou had many admirers, but of them knew her as well as he did. But Li Zhiyan was a differt story altogether; judging by the way Gu Wanzhou looked at him, she probably wanted to nurse him by the eving. Wang Shgli sobered up, noticing that Rao Shi Yun''s eyes and atttion were not on him at all; he knew he was probably out of the picture for good. Wh he used to unt his wealth before, the gold diggers couldn''t wait to sit on hisp and help him reminisce about his infant years. It seemed that such a prime mature woman couldn''t be won over just with money. "Young man, could you set up aputer for me?" "I''d like to take a look at your cybercafe managemt system." He was a carefree person; there were plty of wom for wealthy m to y with¡ªif one didn''t work out, he''d just switch to another who was greedy for money. Wealthy people y the field like no other, and it was natural for them not to waste time mooning over wom or being theirpdogs. Someone as rich as Wang Shgli wouldn''t possibly spd all his time thinking about one woman. Though it''s a pity to let such a voluptuous prime mature woman slip by as he might never counter a second one in his lifetime. "Of course, Li Shiyu, relinquish theputer." After Wang Shgli started using theputer and tried some of the features mtioned by Li Zhiyan, he also felt a sse of awe. "Young man, this cybercafe system you''ve created is phomal, packed with so many features that ar''t avable in mainstream cybercafe managemt software." "I''ll give you 00,000 for the licse to this system to use in my Inte cafe; how about it?" Wang Shgli really liked Li Zhiyan''s system and thought it was a great opportunity to boost his Inte cafe''s business. Hearing the offer of 00,000 made Li Zhiyan''s eyes sh with a pang of heartache. This was 00,000 after all, but he couldn''t sell the cybercafe managemt system because it was run by the Super Chick system. A sh of heartache crossed Li Zhiyan''s eyes. However, to Rao Shi Yun, his expression of heartache seemed more like disgust¡ªhe found Wang Shgli so repulsive that he would ev reject a surefire 00,000. Wang Shgli felt disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it. After ying a with it for a while, he and Zhang Hongbin left. It was simply too awkward for them to stay there any longer. After the two left, the inte cafe became increasingly crowded, and with people smoking, both Rao Shiyun and Gu Wanzhou started feeling restless. "Sweetheart, Auntie has some business to attd to at thepany. If you''re free,e over to help Auntie with a massage, and I''ll cook for you." Although she wanted to keep a proper distance betwe m and wom with Li Zhiyan. However, Gu Wanzhou''s neck was beginning to hurt again, and Li Zhiyan''s hands were just toofortable; she found herself struggling to resist. Upon hearing Gu Wanzhou''s words, Li Zhiyan realized how powerful the skill the system had giv him was. In this way, Aunt Gu would not be able to do without him in the future. "Okay, goodbye, Aunt Gu." As soon as Gu Wanzhou left, Li Zhiyan saw that the twty thousand yuan reward from the mission had be credited to his ount. Added to the gifts from several people, he now had eighty thousand yuan in savings, and Li Zhiyan felt much more at ease. Suddly, the system refreshed with a new assignmt. "Gu Wanzhou''s ex-husband ising home to visit his daughter at elev fifty in four days'' time." "And he has already realized that the highly popr Gu Wanzhou is a rare gem in this world and wants to reconnect with her emotionally." "Please find a way to drive away Gu Wanzhou''s ex-husband." "Mission reward, fifty thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan felt that the system''s assignmts seemed to be based on the deepest thoughts in his heart. For instance, he was just an ordinary man, longing for a chance to show off in front of others. For example, he liked Gu Wanzhou. He liked Rao Shiyun, and the system''s assignmts also kept pushing him towards them. Seeing the reluctance in Li Zhiyan''s eyes, Rao Shiyun felt a sourness in her heart. Although she did not want to see Li Zhiyan as a man, the feeling of jealousy was uncontroble in the presce of Gu Wanzhou. "Li Zhiyan, why didn''t you sell the system to Boss Wang?" "A full two hundred thousand, ev I''m tempted." Li Zhiyan looked at Rao Shiyun and said, "I think he has indect inttions towards Auntie Rao, so I dislike him." He felt that was probably the only excuse he could make up. "So that''s why!" "You''re quite ssitive, ar''t you? That''s right!" "That Wang Shgli is trying topete with you for food!" "But you think only you should be fed by your Auntie Rao, back and forth, from side to side!" "Kid, you''re jealous, ar''t you? You''re jealous of your Auntie Rao." "But Auntie tells you, vinegar doesn''t taste good, it''s sour, milk is much better." "Anyway, Aunt Gu hasn''t agreed to be with you, so how about this, you go after your Auntie Rao." "Let Auntie Rao find a ceter to op her embrace." "Let yourself properly reminisce about your childhood." "Actually, that teahouse across the street isn''t bad at all!" Li Meifg was still full of teasing remarks, being someone who oft wt out for wild game; she knew her way a teahouses well. She thought this kid wanted to impregnate both Aunties. Rao Shiyun''s face blushed again. After seeing some interest in Li Zhiyan''s eyes, her heart was utterly in turmoil. If this kid really confessed to her, their rtionship would bepletelyplicated; she was still considering getting back with her husband, and they were just starting to move past the awkwardness from teaching him to kiss. Did this kid really want to sleep with her? Rao Shiyun''s heart was nowpletely thrown into chaos. Chapter 51: 045 Forty as fierce as a tiger ``` "Stop talking nonsse, I''m going to remarry my husband at the d of the year." "Xiao Yan is just a child, stop teasing him all the time." Twty years of rtionship is, after all, twty years of rtionship, and remarrying had be agreed upon before. It''s safe to say it''s set in stone, Rao Shi Yun really likes this child very much. But she doesn''t want to gage in fruitless deavors that would ultimately cause pain for both herself and Li Zhiyan. Not only does she need to consider the twty years of rtionship, but she also has to think about her son, unless one day both of them do something to disappoint her extremely. Otherwise, she will definitely remarry. "What are you doing, Shiyun, talking about this in front of the child?" "Look how disappointed Xiao Yan is, this child is so good to you, he practically treats you like his own mother, blocking so much alcohol for you." "How can you bear to hurt him with your words?" Seeing Li Zhiyan looking somewhat lost, Rao Shi Yun''s heart couldn''t help but ache. Afterwards, she changed the subject. "Xiao Yan, are you good at massages?" "Hmm." "Auntie Rao, I have studied traditional Chinese medicine massage." Rao Shi Yun looked at the disappointed Li Zhiyan and said, "Th wh you have time,e and give Auntie a massage, Auntie has to go to the office too." "Okay." Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Rao Shi Yun gtly pinched his face, her eyes also filled withplex emotions. She was somewhat unclear whether her feelings for Li Zhiyan were that of an elder''s fondness for a child, or that kind which made her want him to feed her. The feelings of differt natures seemed to be slowly blurring. Th, she left with Li Meifg. After they left, Li Shiyu, who had be watching the drama from a distance, ran over. "Brother Yan, I am thoroughly convinced by you now!" "You''ve managed to win over both Liu Zifg''s and Yu Sisi''s moms!" "Keep it up, have a little brother or sister for both Liu Zifg and Yu Sisi!" "Let them babysit for you, just thinking about it is awesome!" Li Zhiyan: "..." This damn thing, must have be possessed by Li Meifg, ever since I got to know Li Meifg, it seems like the lewd talk in life has increased! "Brother Yan, I think you are the terminator of mature wom." "About the school mistress..." "School mistress, good day!" Just as he was oping a bottle of ice-cold Coke from the fridge, Li Zhiyan saw Jiang Xian had already arrived in the inte cafe. Jiang Xian vaguely heard something, but didn''t quite catch it. She came today as usual to check if there were any high school siors surfing the here, but after seeing what was before her, she could hardly believe her eyes. "Li Zhiyan, howe your inte cafe has so many people in it now." Li Shiyu rushed to say, "School mistress, it''s because Brother Yan redid the cafe''swork managemt system and carried out a series of marketing." "So now the inte cafe has really tak off." Jiang Xian felt a little ali toward the kid she knew from school; howe she never noticed this before! Perhaps, aside from studying, in which he wasn''t interested, he was a gius at everything else and did very well. "Li Zhiyan, you are truly a gius, it seems the school mistress didn''t understand you well ough before." Jiang Xian''s curiosity about Li Zhiyan was growing heavier. ording to the currt poprity of the inte cafe, earning twty to thirty thousand yuan a month shouldn''t be a problem. Her own husband is 45 years old and just has this ie, while Li Zhiyan, is only 8. Li Zhiyan stepped forward and took Jiang Xian''s hand. "School mistress, you can reallye look for me any time wh you''re free, the school mistress is also like a mother to me." "Actually, I really like you, in my heart, you are like a mother to me." "It''s just that I didn''t have much of a chance to talk to you before." Jiang Xian never expected Li Zhiyan to express his feelings for her like this, and her heart felt somewhat heavy. Does this child like her so much wh she had never paid much atttion to him? And he was right, the school mistress is also like a mother, and from now on she should really care for this studt. "Hmm... Good child, the school mistress understands." ``` "Teacher''s wife will definitelye and chat with you oft in the future, she''ll also chat with you more online." "Let''s go upstairs with Teacher''s wife and take a look." Li Zhiyan felt ev more the befits of being wealthy and talted. Being wealthy and talted gets you esteemed anywhere. For instance, Auntie Rao couldn''t be swayed by money. Like Wang Shgli, who had just tried and failed to woo Auntie Rao, Li Zhiyan could tell he was really rich. But if he hadn''t be special in some way, he would have only left a slight impression in her mind for pursuing Aunt Gu. But it would be forgott quickly, with no follow-up evts urring. And there wouldn''t be so manyplications like there are now. Regardless, he at least had the chance to return to Liu Zifg''s hometown now. The voices of the weak are always overlooked; if he was worthless now, saying these things to Teacher''s wife would not evoke any feelings in her. "Okay, Teacher''s wife, I''ll apany you in the search." Watching the two of them go upstairs side by side, Li Shiyu admired his buddy ev more. Brother Yan is truly Brother Yan. The head teacher''s family is sparse; it''s time for a second child! ... After not finding any high school ssmates after a of searching, Jiang Xian left the inte cafe, and Li Zhiyan chased after her. He talked with her for a long time, not parting until they reached the street corner, which touched Jiang Xian''s heart. That eving, after Li Zhiyan returned home, he started chatting with Teacher''s wife again. Their conversation was filled with amusing life anecdotes. Y Zhgjin, who had just finished tutoring and gott home, watched his wife asionallyughing while sitting on the sofa and felt puzzled. "Wife, what are you doing?" "I''m chatting with Li Zhiyan on QQ." Hearing the name Li Zhiyan, Y Zhgjin felt displeased. If he were to say there was a studt he disliked the most, without a doubt it would be Li Zhiyan. Unequivocally, because his family was poor and he never brought gifts. "Li Zhiyan, what are you chatting about with him?" However, Y Zhgjin felt relieved, grateful it wasn''t the kind of chat that could lead to him being cuckolded. His wife was over forty, old ough to breastfeed Li Zhiyan. A twty-year age gap betwe them meant nothing could happ. "Let''s talk about tonight''s evts th." Jiang Xian gtly began to undo the buttons on her shirt. "I just bought a bottle of little pills." Y Zhgjin wt pale; they say ''thirty as a wolf, forty as a tiger'', he never understood before, but now he fully did¡ªconstantly taking medicine had really drained him. Y Zhgjin had already be sleeping in the study for a long time, and now his biggest fear was his wife bringing up this topic. "Wife, I have to lead studts tomorrow, I''m going to grade homework." Watching Y Zhgjin''s retreating back, Jiang Xian continued chatting with Li Zhiyan. The man always ran off at the mtion of this; however, she felt quite sorrowful, knowing she was at an age full of vitality. Was she to live as a widow from now on? ... Meanwhile, at home, Li Zhiyan countered somethingpletely unexpected. The system had actually issued a new task. It was the first time he saw the system release two tasks at once. "Aunt Fang Zhiya, the biological mother of Liu Yaolong, had her house seized by the court." "While nning to rt another ce with her suitcase, she idtally twisted her ankle." "Now she is sitting in the park in agonizing pain, feeling extremely despondt and despairing." "Please sure Aunt Fang Zhiya is settled." "And help massage her ankle to alleviate the injury." "Task reward, fifty thousand in cash." Li Zhiyan thought of Aunt Fang''s extremely ssitive body, which would copse with a single touch. He felt that this task would be challging. Those fifty thousand were definitely not easy to earn! Chapter 52: Just trying it out, wont get addicted! When it all began, the system had issued a reminder. Fang Zhiya was a woman with a very traditional heart. But just how traditional she was, Li Zhiyan had no way of knowing. Not until the moment when she chided him for holding her hand, saying men and women should not touch hands. Only then did he understand what her brand of traditionality meant, and that indeed she wasn''t quite suited to such things. After all, there was the issue of her constitution. "Go settle Aunt Fang," he said. "After all, Aunt Fang is such a beautiful woman. It might not be safe for her at night. I''ll feel at ease only if I look after her." "After all, she''s the ss monitor''s own mother." Looking at Jiang Xian who hadn''t replied for a while. Li Zhiyan typed: "Wife, why are you silent? Have you fallen asleep? I''m nning to sleep." Jiang Xian: "I was just speaking with your teacher. He''s so annoying." "Thinking about how he treated you before makes me want to beat him up. If you''re tired, go to sleep." Li Zhiyan: "Wife, you should go to sleep early too." "If you don''t sleep early, it''s not good for your skin." Jiang Xian: "You know quite a lot for a kid." "Fine, I''ll sleep early, aiming to fall asleep before you do." Li Zhiyan: "Maybe we''ll end up falling asleep together." Jiang Xian: "Kid, go to sleep quickly." ... Jiang Xian stood up and went back to the master bedroom. She didn''t take Li Zhiyan''s words seriously. It was just a child''s talk after all. She was 41 years old herself. She was a whole 23 years older than this 18-year-old kid. His thoughts certainly couldn''t be so dirty. He had merely suggested going to sleep at the same time as her. She turned on the air conditioner andy down on the nightstand, looking at her own snow-white slender legs, and felt somewhat saddened in her heart. Would she really have to spend her juiciest years alone from now on? She had been contemting having a second child. But now it seemed that the idea of a second child waspletely out of reach for her. "Do I really have no chance to have a second child..." Next door, Yen Zhengjin was still feeling anxious. It was fortunate he had run fast; otherwise, he would have been in real trouble. That wouldn''t have been good at all. You can''t spoil that woman. Otherwise, there would be no end to her demands. He turned on hisputer, intending to unwind online. Without thinking, he opened a website. It contained many bizarre films, and at this stage, it was hard for him to be normal. Such bizarre content was very appealing to him. He had first found this website when he caught Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu passing notes in ss. After seeing it was a website address, he scolded them furiously for not studying at their young age. Then, when he got home, he opened it on hisputer and found that actually, they had been studying quite well... It was a pity he hadn''t discovered it earlier. Suddenly, the voice from an advertisement filled the air. "Macau Casino, legal online gambling..." "Live sexy female croupiers, dealing cards online." One advertisement after another. These roused Yen Zhengjin''s interest. This seemed like a lot of fun. Although he knew that online gambling was a scam and he definitely should not participate, he felt he had plenty of self-control. Deposit just a hundred yuan, treat it like a game. With life''s pressures being so great, unwinding a bit now and then wasn''t a bad thing. "Let''s register an ount, just put in a hundred yuan for a bit of fun." "I won''t get addicted anyway." ... At this moment, Rao Shi Yun was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Her mind kept reying the events of the day. That kid was truly incredible, not only fluent in French but also skilled in programming. He even knew about marketing, with all the talk of information cocoons and marketing theories; it still seems profound and enigmatic to me. Other people might spout such long-winded theories just as hot air. For instance, that Wang who owns the inte caf¨¦, he just wants to catch my attention, pretending to be deep and knowledgeable. But Li Zhiyan''s theories have been validated by the market! The packed inte caf¨¦ speaks volumes! Such potential ensures he will undoubtedly have a bright future. Perhaps, he might even outshine everyone I''ve ever met. Older people tend to appreciate talented children over good looks. And Rao Shi Yun was no exception. She had contemted adopting Li Zhiyan as her godson numerous times, but Li Zhiyan always avoidedmitting to something more than a typical elder-younger rtive rtionship. Now, it seemed he had taken a liking to her. If he didn''t see her as a woman he could sleep with, he wouldn''t have kissed her while drunk. It was a manifestation of his subconscious. And today, Li Zhiyan''s decision to forgo 200,000 yuan because of Rao Shi Yun made her increasingly feel something was amiss. The question Li Meifeng had asked echoed incessantly in her mind. If you had to choose between that kid and your husband, who would you choose? "That kid seemed genuinely upset when he heard about my potential remarriage." "If I really do remarry, will he stop caring about me altogether?" Such thoughts caused Rao Shi Yun''s heart to ache silently. That kid, he really is wonderful. ¡­ "Mom, I''m stepping out! I need to use the electric scooter." Before leaving, Li Zhiyan visited his mother''s room to let her know. As a mama''s boy, Li Zhiyan was well cared for by his mother and needed to report his whereabouts before going out in the evening. "Alright, be careful." "The scooter keys are by the shoe cab." "Will you be back tonight?" Zhou Rongrong sensed her son might be growing up, having secrets of his own¡ªmaybe he was going to a hotel with some girl. No, it might not be a girl; perhaps it was a woman. "I''ll be back, Mom." "You should rest early." After checking in with Zhou Rongrong, Li Zhiyan unplugged the charging electric scooter, took the battery, and went downstairs. ¡­ On the road, Li Zhiyan felt that public safety had really deterioratedpared to 24 years ago. If it were a woman on her own out here. It would indeed be worrying; the fear of assault was real. By the time he got to the park, it was after ten o''clock. In 2010, at this time, most people would have been asleep, but on the park bench. Fang Zhiya sat sobbing nonstop. She was utterly clueless about what to do next. Her family''s home had been sealed and was ready to go up for auction. And as she was leaving with her suitcase, she had identally sprained her ankle, which still hurt terribly. The pain was excruciating whenever she stood up. She had called her son. But he didn''t pick up, and despair washed over her. Fang Zhiya had never felt such despair before, and at that moment, an electric scooter rode towards her. This made Fang Zhiya afraid. It was sote; could it be hooligans or hoodlums? The park had only dim streetlights casting a faint yellow glow. The moonlight filtered through the leaves, creating a mottled, sinister shadow, invoking fear. Facing such a situation, Fang Zhiya had no time for sorrow, only fear remained in her heart. Chapter 53: 047 Massage is so comfortable She had twisted her ankle, and it was already swollen¡ªthere was no chance of running away. Should any vition ur, she felt she truly wouldn''t be able to go on living. In her panicked state, she grabbed her suitcase, ready to use it as a weapon at any moment. However, the voice of the approaching person gave Fang Zhiya a sense of surprised relief as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. "Aunt Fang, what are you doing here?" "I was just passing by and saw someone here, so I thought I''d ask if you needed any help." Fang Zhiya had never expected to encounter Li Zhiyan, this child, in this forsaken ce where cries for help went unanswered. "Today my house was taken away by the court, and I haven''t had a chance to look for another one yet." "And I identally twisted my ankle when I left¡­" As she spoke, a wave of self-pity surged in Fang Zhiya''s heart, and her eyes moistened once again. "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan, to let you see your aunt like this, so wretched." It was embarrassing for Fang Zhiya to appear so disheveled in front of a child. "Well, Aunt Fang, let me take you to get a room first. I came on an electric scooter." "Okay." Fang Zhiya was also a bit frightened now and just wanted to leave this ce as quickly as possible. She had been startled when Li Zhiyan arrived. What if it had been a bad person? "Aunt Fang, give me your suitcase." Eyeing it, he figured that although Fang Zhiya''s suitcase wasrge, it should fit if ced upright at the front. And indeed, the suitcase was awkwardly but securely wedged in ce. "Aunt Fang, please get on." Li Zhiyan got on the scooter first because the luggage suitcase was in the front. This made his sitting posture look a bit odd. After Fang Zhiya got on, she pressed tightly against Li Zhiyan''s back. "Let''s go, Xiao Yan¡­" Hearing Fang Zhiya''s suddenly soft voice, he knew that she probably hadn''t any strength left in her at that moment. "Sit tight then, I''m starting off now." On the way, Li Zhiyan could feel the warmth and softness of Aunt Fang''s body against him. Aunt Fang really was traditional, wearing a wrap of chest cloth that made her original 36D spread out. Even though this strange sensation was quite nice. Upon arriving at a hotel, Fang Zhiya was unsteady as she dismounted the scooter. By then, her beautiful face waspletely flushed, having been too close to the boy just now. "Aunt Fang, you''ve sweated a lot." "With so much perspiration, you should really take a good bathter." After taking down the luggage and expertly locking the scooter, he was about to leave when Fang Zhiya tried to move as well. But that agonizing pain returned. "Ah¡­" A pained moan sounded, and Li Zhiyan realized that Aunt Fang was truly in severe pain! "Aunt Fang." "You can lean on my shoulder with your hand." "I''ll help you in." Although Fang Zhiya felt it was improper for men and women to have such contact, now was not the time to be stubborn. She put her hand on Li Zhiyan''s shoulder, feeling the scorching heat from the shoulder of her son''s ssmate. Fang Zhiya''s face was now red and unbearably charming, creating a different kind of beauty. "A double room, please." The clerk was unfazed by such incidents. "Would you like a set? Durex, a big brand." "There''s a discount if you buy five." At these words, Fang Zhiya''s face grew even hotter. Her traditionally conservative heart had not expected to be misunderstood as havinge out with this youngster to rent a room. "No need." "Just the room will do." The clerk assumed Fang Zhiya likely had an IUD. After all, modern women would get IUDs if they weren''t nning to have children. It saves a lot of hassle. Lucky guy, such a hassle-free situation! Who could withstand it? She wouldn''t be satisfied with just five or six times in one night, would she? "Here''s your room key, on the second floor." With some difficulty, Fang Zhiya followed Li Zhiyan upstairs, slowly bing ustomed to resting her hand on the youngster''s shoulder. By now, she had recovered a bit of her strength. Watching Li Zhiyan swipe the card and open the door, Fang Zhiya couldn''t stop thinking about the clerk''s words. She was more than twenty years older than him. Why would people assume she hade to get pregnant? Had such things bemonce? Once inside, Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to turn on the air conditioning tobat the summer heat, which was indeed hard to endure. "Aunt Fang, you should take a bath first." "Otherwise, staying in this kind of room could easily lead to a cold." Feeling the sticky sweat on her body, as a woman who valued cleanliness, Fang Zhiya also wanted to bathe. However, seeing the ambiguous environment of the double room and the semi-transparent ss, she didn''t know how to address it with Li Zhiyan. "You should take a bath first, I''ll step out for a moment." After stepping out into the breeze, Li Zhiyan left the door and watched Xiao Yan''s retreating figure, deeply moved in his heart. This kid, he was truly considerate. ... Usually, it took Fang Zhiya more than twenty minutes to take a shower. But this time, because she was worried about making Li Zhiyan wait anxiously, she finished in just ten minutes. "Xiao Yan,e in." After he entered, Li Zhiyan saw Fang Zhiya wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and long ck pants; her clothing was always very conservative. It seems like she didn''t own any short sleeves, let alone shorts or skirts. However, because she was flustered, one button was not done up properly. One could vaguely see the deep cleavage. The current Aunt Fang, that was her true upper body size - 36D! The delicate and lovely Aunt Fang was truly blessed by nature. Feeling Li Zhiyan''s gaze, Fang Zhiya''s pretty face turned a slight red as she buttoned up. "Aunt Fang, why do you always like to wear long sleeves?" "Isn''t it hot?" "I''m used to dressing this way." After they sat down on the sofa, Fang Zhiya looked at Li Zhiyan with eyes full of gratitude. "Xiao Yan, I really thank you for tonight. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have known what to do." "Isn''t your ss president with you?" Upon mentioning her son, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but feel a shade of sadness and despair. Her son should be her support in such times, but he wouldn''t answer her calls. Living at a ssmate''s ce, he didn''t want to rent an apartment to live with her. "He must be busy with something." At this moment, Li Zhiyan was also focused on Fang Zhiya''s injury. "Aunt Fang, you''ve sprained your ankle." "Let me have a look at it, I''ve learned some traditional massage techniques." "It might help ease your injury." Considering it was a matter concerning his fifty thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan was naturally very concerned! Fang Zhiya felt the temperature on her face gradually increasing again. This kid was going to touch her foot. But even though she was 23 years older than him, after all, there was a distinction between men and women. "If the bruising doesn''t get dispersed soon, you might not be able to walk for a week." After Li Zhiyan finished speaking, Fang Zhiya made up her mind. Now, life was more important than those minor details. And after all, Li Zhiyan was just a kid. What''s the harm if a kid touches her foot? Plus, he was her son''s ssmate, she was practically one of his close elders! "Then you help Auntie." Having received Fang Zhiya''s permission, Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief, smelling the fragranceing from Aunt Fang. Li Zhiyan gently picked up her beautiful leg. In that instant, he felt Fang Zhiya''s body tense up. When he ced Fang Zhiya''s leg on his, she closed her eyes. Her pretty face flushed with color. Aunt Fang was really too sensitive. He was just performing a filial duty for an elder by giving a massage, that''s all. However, although Aunt Fang was only 160cm tall, her legs had really good proportions. And they were perfectly symmetrical and well-shaped, truly a set of rare and beautiful legs. Gently, he lifted the hem of Fang Zhiya''s pants. Li Zhiyan noticed Aunt Fang''s calves were very white, perhaps due to being well-protected all the time? "Aunt Fang, I''m going to start the massage now." Li Zhiyan activated his skills and began massaging his ss president''s mother. At this moment, Fang Zhiya had closed her eyes, able to hear her own heartbeat. She was going to have her legs seen by this kid. Although she was old enough to be his mother, And, he was her son''s ssmate, But... But at his current age, he could make her pregnant. Vaguely, Fang Zhiya realized something was off. How terrifying, was it an illusion... "Mhm..." At the moment when Li Zhiyan activated his skill, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but let out a moan. The relief from the pain, together with the sensation of Li Zhiyan''s skills, made her lose herselfpletely, forgetting she was with her son''s ssmate. It made Li Zhiyan''s heart tremble... Subconsciously, the somewhat delirious Fang Zhiya clutched Li Zhiyan''s arm, but still with a soft and feeble grip. Her whole body hadpletely rxed. "Husband." "Your hands are so skilled, sofortable..." In a daze, Fang Zhiya then remembered, wasn''t her husband in prison? Chapter 54: 048 The fair little feet, these are jade feet! At the hotel deep into the night, the atmosphere was tranquil... For Li Zhiyan, the ss monitor''s mother calling him "husband" was like a lethal poison. It made his reaction very natural. At this moment, Fang Zhiya also came to her senses. Her face heated up to an unprecedented level. Oh God, what was she doing, calling her son''s ssmate "husband"? Her own husband''s hands were never that strong, never able to massage her ankles sofortably. She actually spoke the kind of words in front of her son''s ssmate that one would only say during childbirth! Stricken with embarrassment and feeling powerless, sheid there, pretending nothing had happened. She let Li Zhiyan continue massaging her ankle. Li Zhiyan swallowed hard, noting that Aunt Fang really was too traditional; after all, he was just giving her a massage. Yet it made her lose herself, now limp and utterly without strength. However, the ss monitor''s mom''s feet truly could be described as "jade feet." Pale and wless, without a single wrinkle. The touch was smooth and delicate. Those "jade feet" were enough to make one''s condition worsen day by day. "Aunt Fang, you must be missing Uncle," he said. "There will be a day when he is released." Li Zhiyan''s words somewhat eased the awkwardness. Fang Zhiya hummed softly, lying limply on the couch, her face getting redder. Waiting for her husband''s release, that was still half a year away. "Xiao Yan, what''s the name of your inte cafe?" Fang Zhiya tried to focus her attention, chatting with Li Zhiyan while her son''s ssmate kneaded her small feet back and forth, leaving herpletely powerless. So, her voice sounded somewhat seductive. "Brotherhood Inte Cafe, it''s not really far from here." Li Zhiyan continued to massage Fang Zhiya, mending his injuries, and he became increasingly aware of the system''s powerful skill. Her ankle had swollen this badly, If he hadn''t been there, she probably would have needed to be hospitalized. "So, if you are free, you can alsoe to find me there, I''ll usually be there before school starts," he said. "Hmm..." "Auntie..." "Auntie knows," she answered. Fang Zhiya''s voice was very unnatural, as Li Zhiyan''s kneading of her ankle and constant caresses of her feet continued. She felt with her foot, identally realizing that what she saw was no illusion. In this world, there truly are standout men among men. Oh God, how terrifying. After a full half hour, when Li Zhiyan had finished massaging- He finally let go of Fang Zhiya, feeling that Aunt Fang''s face was getting redder, and her voice was growing fainter. "Aunt Fang, do you still feel pain?" he asked. Li Zhiyan didn''t do anything inappropriate. After all, he was an ethical good kid, helping Aunt Fang with a massage out of respect for an elder, Caring for the ss monitor''s mother since he and the ss monitor were ssmates. So, he had to protect the ss monitor''s ce of origin. Gradually regaining some strength, Fang Zhiya recovered from her state ofplete helplessness. "It doesn''t hurt anymore, Xiao Yan, I''m fine now," she said. "Your traditional Chinese massage was really impressive," she added. At that moment, Fang Zhiya''s appreciation for Li Zhiyan was at its peak. This child clearly wasn''t sneaking touches with amorous intentions, but simply because he was worried about her; that''s why he gave her a massage. It was just before- She had revealed in front of the kid a side that should only exist between husband and wife, Even calling him "husband"... It was really too embarrassing. "Aunt Fang, it''s gettingte, you should rest early. I need to be getting home," Li Zhiyan said. He knew he had to show respect to Fang Zhiya, This woman, who had been driven to the brink of suicide in 2012, obviously wasn''t someone to be taken lightly. "Xiao Yan, let auntie give you the money for the room," she said. "Aunt Fang, let''s not talk about that for now, just keep it in mind," he replied. "Once you are settled, just cook a few meals for me, that would be nice," "I would love to eat the food you make," he told her. Fang Zhiya hummed in response. "Alright..." "Child, thank you so much. If it weren''t for you, Auntie wouldn''t know what to do," she said. Noticing the time, Li Zhiyan knew he should leave. "Goodbye, Auntie," he said. At that moment, Li Zhiyan was trying hard to control his vigorous impulses. So when he walked out, he did so with his back hunched over until he turned aroundpletely, facing away from Fang Zhiya. Only then did Li Zhiyan straighten up, Unnoticed by him, however, his shadow cast by the light fell upon the wall. The door closed... Fang Zhiya''s heart was racing, thinking about calling her son''s ssmate "husband" and the half hour of massage. Her face became utterly hot. That shadow just now, how frightening. There really were things in this world beyond her imagination. And they truly existed! Moreover, her own feet had clearly sensed the unbelievable. "Husband..." "I hope you can be released soon because I really can''t handle it anymore," she murmured. Getting up, somewhat shaky, she went to her suitcase. She began to pick out a new pair of pants; she definitely had to change them. Chapter 55: 049 Chat By the time Li Zhiyan got home, it was almost 12 o''clock. The door to his mother''s room was open, clearly waiting for him. Li Zhiyan knew that his careful mother could not fall asleep without him at home; she was always worried about his safety. "Mom, I''m back now, you can rest." "Okay, son." After charging the battery, Li Zhiyan returned to his own room with peace of mind. He opened the Strong Chicken system panel and saw that the reward of fifty thousand yuan had been deposited. Including previous savings, he now had total savings of one hundred and thirty thousand yuan. And now the inte cafe was bringing in a fixed ie of a thousand yuan every day. Truly delightful. "The Strong Chicken system seems to be getting more powerfultely, issuing two tasks at the same time." "So, is it possible to release another task while waiting for Aunt Gu''s task?" "Speaking of which, Aunt Fang''s feet are really white." "Soft, too¡ªno next time, but if..." "If I could help..." "Oh my god..." "It''d be great to help wash Aunt Fang''s feet as a sign of filial piety." With these strange thoughts in mind, Li Zhiyan went to sleep. ... Close to twelve o''clock, Fang Zhiya was still washing a pair of pants. Because of the hot weather, both pairs of pants were soaking wet. They had to be thoroughly washed; otherwise, they really couldn''t be worn. "Is that really the case..." "I am such a shameless woman." Strange memories and projections echoed continuously in Fang Zhiya''s heart. As a woman with an extremely traditional heart, she felt an odd sensation, yet she never trimmed her nails. ... The next day, he went to Brotherhood Inte Cafe to y games as usual. Li Shiyu brought over two bottles of ice-cold Coke, settling down to grind levels with Li Zhiyan. "Brother Yan, ever since yesterday, our business has seriously boomed. Last night, all the machines reserved for all-nighters on the first floor were fully upied!" "I''ve done the math, and our daily profits fluctuate between eight hundred and twelve hundred yuan!" "Only wonder how business will be after school starts." Enjoying this unrestrained lifestyle, Li Zhiyan took a big gulp of Coke. It was a good thing he had the Strong Chicken system, otherwise, he would have to struggle with starting a business like other reborn individuals, with no guarantee of sess. Being an average person like him, he preferred to ck off and wait for Brother Tongzi to assign him tasks. Now, Li Zhiyan was quite sure about one thing... Anyway, the tasks issued by the system were always based on the desires hidden in his subconscious. "You don''t have to worry about these things; just y around here during the summer vacation." ... "Hey, son." Around ten o''clock, with two hours left before the check-out time, Fang Zhiya, who hadn''t eaten breakfast yet, finally got in touch with her son Liu Yaolong. "Son, where are you? Mom is going to rent a ce soon." "Come find Mom." "It''d give me some courage." A woman, especially a beautiful one, renting a house is obviously very unsafe. It''s easy for thendlord or neighbors to set their sights on her. Most houses in the suburbs of Wancheng are still old-fashioned walk-up buildings. Not like future home designs¡ªthese have poor privacy. For a woman like Fang Zhiya to rent a ce alone, it is indeed unsafe. Liu Yaolong''s impatient voice came through. "You go by yourself! I''m not staying with you. How embarrassing to live in some rundown rental. I''ll stay at my ssmate''s ce and go straight to school when it starts." ``` "Don''t bother me if it''s not important." "Arguing about your wages in front of my ssmates, you really made me lose face!" Liu Yaolong''s voice was brimming with undisguised disdain for his mother. "Don''t call me anymore, I''m turning off my phone!" The "beep beep" of the call sounded as Fang Zhiya continued to dial, but there was no longer any sound from the other end. Tears fell involuntarily. She hadn''t expected that her son, whom she had doted on since childhood, would refuse to answer her calls because he felt embarrassed about living in a rented house. After sitting on the sofa for a long time, she went to tidy up the trousers hung out on the balcony. By now, the damp marks on the trousers had beenpletely dried by the sun, and the memories of yesterday had been deeply hidden away. Around 11 o''clock, she dialed Li Zhiyan''s phone. "Xiao Yan, where are you now?" "Aunt Fang, I''m at the inte caf¨¦." "Then, let mee to see you." "Sure, Aunt Fang, I really wanted to see you and talk to you." Li Zhiyan''s voice was enthusiastic and carried a palpable sense of joy that anyone could hear. Clearly, he was fond of her. "I''lle to see you right away." After the call ended, a warm feeling rose in her heart. She truly hadn''t expected that during her lowest moments, the one who had been caring without asking for anything in return, offering her warmth, would be her son''s enemy, Li Zhiyan. The warmth others offered was as negligible as grains of rice. Whereas the care Li Zhiyan provided made her feel an unprecedented warmth in her heart. ... After finishing a game with Li Shiyu, he stopped ying. "Brother Yan, let''s keep going." "You y first, someone''sing over soon." Li Shiyu became curious. He thought it must be some beautifuldy since, in his heart, Brother Yan was the reincarnation of Cao Cao! "Who is it?" "Aunt Fang, Liu Yaolong''s mom." Admiration filled Li Shiyu''s eyes. "Brother Yan, you''re awesome! I bet no one will dare to mess with you from now on! Anyone who does will suffer your fiercest retaliation!" "It''ll be like giving their family a second child!" "Just look at Liu Yaolong daring to offend you, and here you are, having his mome to you!" Li Zhiyan quickly stopped Li Shiyu, this guy was simply bing a copycat of Li Meifeng. Always speaking as if he''s speeding at 200 miles an hour. He knew he was a very innocent person, and soon they would lead him astray. "Don''t talk nonsense, Aunt Fang is here." "I''ll go wee her." Outside the inte caf¨¦, Li Zhiyan greeted her warmly. "Aunt Fang, you''ve arrived." He stepped forward, intending to take Fang Zhiya''s hand. Such a gesture was something that Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun could now ept. However, Fang Zhiya obviously tried to dodge it. "Uh..." "Xiao Yan, thank you forst night." "If it wasn''t for you, Aunt really wouldn''t know what to do." "Oh, didn''t you say you would help Auntie set up a QQ ount? I''ve never used QQ before." Li Zhiyan felt that Fang Zhiya hade to ask him for help. Within his power, he wouldn''t refuse this traditionally beautiful mature woman. After all, she was the origin of their ss leader... "Please follow me." ``` Chapter 56: 050 Aunt Fangs Astonishment Entering the inte caf¨¦, Shen Rongfei was greeted by a bustling scene. There was an incredible feeling in her heart. This inte caf¨¦ was so popr that it seemed like it could make twenty or thirty thousand yuan a month! Li Zhiyan was just an 18-year-old kid. When they arrived at theputer Li Zhiyan was using, since there were no seats avable, Shen Rongfei sat down next to Li Zhiyan''s chair. It was hot, and she really was a bit tired. Although she wanted to understand the world of the youth, her eyes couldn''t help but drift involuntarily toward the sofa from time to time. Xiao Yan truly was someone destined for great things at an early age. Li Shiyu voluntarily stepped out for a walk, feeling that Li Zhiyan probably wanted to help the ss leader''s family try for a second child. The ss leader''s family should really have a second child by now. So his presence wasn''t quite appropriate at the moment. "Aunt Fang..." "What kind of QQ password would you like to set?" Fang Zhiya thought for a moment. "Just use six zeros." This familiar password reminded Li Zhiyan that his mom''s password was also six zeros. Do all aunts like using this number? "It''s better to have a moreplex password, Aunt Fang, otherwise your QQ ount might get hacked easily." "With a password like yours, a hacker could steal it with ease." "Then, you set one up for Aunt Fang." Li Zhiyan typed in Fang Zhiya''s name. "Let''s use the initials of your name followed by six zeros, and then the initials again." "That way, it should be easier to remember." "Okay, I''ll listen to you." After creating the QQ ount, Li Zhiyan asked to look at Fang Zhiya''s phone. "Aunt Fang." "Do you have QQ installed on your phone?" In that era, apart from the rarely seen smartphones, ordinary phones needed to have the mobile QQ app built-in to use QQ. "Auntie doesn''t know, I''ve never tried before." "You help Auntie check it out." He recalled that Fang Zhiya''s pink BBK music phone had built-in QQ. "Aunt Fang, I''ll log in for you. We''ve already added each other as friends just now. When you hear a notification sound, it means I''m trying to contact you." Since Fang Zhiya had just signed up and had no friends on QQ, any messages would definitely be from him. Next, Li Zhiyan taught Fang Zhiya how to chat with him. During this process, the system released another new task. "As it is unsafe for Fang Zhiya to go rent a house alone, please pretend to be her son and apany her." "And try to give her a hug." "Task reward, ten thousand yuan in cash." This task didn''t seem too difficult, and the reward was pretty mediocre. The only real challenge might be managing to give her a hug, as long as it wasn''t something too intimate like massaging ankles. Li Zhiyan felt that taking advantage of pretending to be her son would make giving her a hug not a big deal. However, for Li Zhiyan with his savings of one hundred and thirty thousand yuan, it was definitely a tempting offer! Seeing that it was nearly time for dinner, Li Zhiyan pointed to a snack bar across the street and said, "Alright." Looking at Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but feel a twinge of guilt. Once her son had helped suppress him for his teacher, they were enemies, yet he was so good to her. In contrast, even her own son was unwilling to answer her calls. If only Li Zhiyan were her son, she thought, reading Fang Zhiya''s gaze, Li Zhiyan found it quite familiar; evidently, the same kind of look had appeared in the eyes of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun, the kind that signaled a loving mother''s desire to take in a godson. However, he had no intention of bing anyone else''s godson. Having one mom was enough for him, unless it was Su Mengchen''s mother, Shen Rongfei, who genuinely was his mother. Because as a son-inw, he would of course have to start calling her mom. They ordered two servings of fried rice with eggs, but Fang Zhiya seemed hesitant to speak. After a moment, she finally said, "Xiao Yan, Auntie has something she wants to ask for your help with." Li Zhiyan knew that she was referring to renting a house. A beautiful single mature woman looking for a ce to rent was obviously not ideal, too easy to attract the attention of bad people. "Please tell me, if it''s within my ability, I will definitely help." "You hold an important ce in my heart as an elder." "If I can help, I definitely will." Fang Zhiya''s tears nearly spilled, unintentionally betraying her emotions. Her own son didn''t care for her, yet her son''s enemy showed such concern; he truly was a filial younger generation. But I didn''t know him before, and I''ve never doted on him. §ñ%?@§Ñ#?-#§ä+§ß??-¦Ò#?- How do I deserve to enjoy his kindness toward me? For a moment, Fang Zhiya found herself unable to speak. Asking for a sry, and considering how he settled herst night, she already owed this child too much. "Aunt Fang, please just tell me if you need anything. I know this is the time you need help. As ssmates with the monitor, it''s only natural for us to give a hand with his family matters." After hesitating for a while, Fang Zhiya said, "Xiao Yan." "Aunt wants to ask you for a favor." "Could you pretend to be Aunt''s son and go with Aunt in the afternoon to rent a house?" "Because it''s not very convenient for a woman to rent a house on her own..." She didn''t specify what made it inconvenient. She always felt that Li Zhiyan was just a child, and some topics were not suitable to discuss with them. Although this child had already matured beyond his years. "Why doesn''t the monitor go with you? If you call him, he''ll definitelye. After all, mother and son share a connection." "I think the monitor woulde." The boss brought over the fried rice with egg. "He hung up on my call today and turned off his phone." Some grievances, when not spoken, are bearable, but once voiced, they tend to eruptpletely. Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but let her tears flow, looking pitiful and eliciting sympathy as she cried. "Aunt Fang, please don''t cry. I''ll go with you, and I''lle to visit you often in the future." "I promise to protect you from being bullied. From now on, you can consider me as your son." "It upsets me to see you crying." Fang Zhiya then managed to control her emotions. It indeed was inappropriate to cry in front of a child. "Okay..." "Aunt won''t cry anymore." ... In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan called for two taxis and followed Fang Zhiya to a somewhat dpidated urban vige. Now, Fang Zhiya only had the ten thousand yuan in cash that Li Zhiyan had managed to retrieve for her, kept in the lining of her suitcase. Besides that, she had nothing else. This urban vige was full of illegal constructions, all of which were small property-right houses without property certificates. Thendlord Li Zhiyan was considering was a local elderly couple. These two appeared very proud, having built seven-story self-constructed houses. Local people mostly behaved this way, but this old couple''s attitude was quite good. The olddy enthusiastically introduced the seventh-floor room to Fang Zhiya. "The sixth and seventh floors were specifically built to be rented out." "Each room is 20 square meters." "They are all independentyouts." "The bathroom is downstairs. There''s a public toilet. You just have to pay two yuan a month to use it." "You can use this coal stove freely, it''s very convenient for boiling water for showers and such." "Oh, and you can also use this electric fan anytime you like ¡ª we''ve provided it for our tenants." "The rent is three hundred yuan a month." "Lease starts at six months." "Though there''s only one bed, it shouldn''t be any inconvenience for you two to squeeze in together." In Wancheng, even after ten years, a monthly rent of three hundred yuan is extremely hard toe by; that''s why Fang Zhiya was drawn to this price. Li Zhiyan looked around the rental. It was just oneplete room. A longmunal corridor at the entrance led to the door of each rental room. The windowscked curtains, making it easy for someone''s privacy to be intruded upon. A single room with a coal stove posed the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Aside from a bed and a dining table, it was hardly big enough for anything else. Outside the door, several neighbors curiously observed Fang Zhiya. Especially one middle-aged man whose eyes nearly lit up. This mature woman was truly exceptional. But upon seeing Li Zhiyan, he quickly restrained the thoughts in his heart. She had a son, and if anything were to really happen, this young man might beat him to death. "We''ll rent this ce." Despite the poor conditions, Fang Zhiya felt that this was all she could afford now. Gone were the days of Audi A4s, a bank savings of a million, and living in an apartment with an elevator ¡ª those days were nevering back. "Young man, are you here to study for your senior year of high school, and your mother came to apany you?" "There are many high school seniors here. The girl from this room just checked out with her mom after the college entrance exam. Heard she scored over thirty points above the first-tier cut-off. My house is lucky, you see." The olddy talked a lot and took out two standard lease agreements from her bag. "However, young man, you and your mother don''t look very much alike." Hearing this, Li Zhiyan embraced Fang Zhiya from behind. Wrapping his arms around Aunt Fang''s slender waist, he rested his head on her shoulder. Inhaling the scent of a mature woman from Fang Zhiya. He smiled and said, "Auntie, where do we not look alike?" "Take a closer look, my mom and I are exactly the same." Li Zhiyan clearly felt Aunt Fang''s body soften. He quickly tightened his grip, holding onto Fang Zhiya''s waist. The two clung together tightly. Chapter 57: 051 What kind of storytelling session is this! For ten thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan had been constantly thinking about this task. Taking advantage of pretending to be Aunt Fang''s son, hugging her was very normal. At the same time, Li Zhiyan had also anticipated Fang Zhiya''s reaction. So he supported Fang Zhiya''s slender waist. And with a forceful push from his calf, he maintained her standing. However, Li Zhiyan did not dare to continue hugging Fang Zhiya, for this kind of traditional-minded aunt, one must still act properly. Otherwise, there might be no future interactions. "Now that you mention it, you two really do look alike." "Young man, why is your face so red?" The olddy looked at the somewhat unsteady Fang Zhiya and asked curiously. "Maybe it''s because the weather is too hot." Li Zhiyan took the contract, carefully checked it over to make sure there were no traps, only then did he let Fang Zhiya sign the contract and pay six months of rent plus a deposit of 2100 yuan. "Well, we won''t bother you anymore, if there''s anything regarding water and electricity, you can knock on our door at 101 on the first floor." After seeing the two off, Fang Zhiya ced her suitcase in the corner. Thinking back to the close contact just now, she still felt her legs go weak. Really good... A mature talent at a young age can only be described as a genius. "Aunt Fang, I see you still need a lot of things here, let me go out and shop with you." Li Zhiyan knew that at this time, Fang Zhiya was indeed in difficulty and needed hispany. "Yes, we need pots, bowls, a wok, and so on." After shelling out over two thousand yuan, Fang Zhiya''s savings were nearly drained. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan''s previous assistance, retrieving the wages that belonged to her, she would really be left homeless on the streets nowadays. "Then I''ll apany you to buy them." When going out, a female neighbor passing by greeted Fang Zhiya and got to know her, but standing next to her, Fang Zhiya didn''t seem to be on the same level. Both in their forties, Aunt Fang''s fair skin was captivating. Whereas this woman''s skin was not only dark, but also covered with quite a few freckles. Li Zhiyan could understand that most middle-aged women in this world are like this, and the carefree and well-maintained beautiful mature women are only a minority. In her eyes, Li Zhiyan saw some envy, which was quitemon. ... Walking on the street, Fang Zhiya''s mind kept revisiting the moment Li Zhiyan clung close to her. Although it wasn''tplete intimacy, it was still quite remarkable. What a child, without so many concepts in mind, that''s why he pressed so close. "Aunt Fang." "You should be careful living here from now on, if there''s anything, you can call me at any time." "I don''t live too far from here." "I cane over any time." Every word from Li Zhiyan was so warm, making Fang Zhiya feel the warmth from this society. "Xiao Yan, let Aunt Fang cook for youter." "Sure, Aunt Fang, I haven''t tried your cooking yet." "Right, we need to find some curtains to solve your privacy issuester on." "Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to do anything." With the neighbors being a mixed bag, Li Zhiyan didn''t know if anyone was coveting Aunt Fang''s body. But, taking care of privacy was essential. Indeed, heating water for a bath in the future would be somewhat difficult. Thinking of that scene, Li Zhiyan''s heart ached slightly, and he bent forward a little. And then, a voice buried deep in his soul rang out. It was a voice that every countryman could never forget! "Two yuan, everything''s just two yuan!" "Whatever you look at, it''s cheap, whatever you buy, it''s a bargain." "For two yuan, you can''t buy a loss." §å§à?%§Ô%- "Two bucks, you can''t get fooled." "Everything''s two bucks!" The brainwashing voice yed on a loop. Li Zhiyan knew, Aunt Fang probably really needed a ce like this right now. "Aunt Fang, there''s a two-dor store ahead, let''s go take a look," Xiao Yan suggested. "Hmm, okay." Fang Zhiya wanted to buy a few different pots for various purposes, like a basin for washing her face, one for soaking her feet, one for... "This basin seems a bit too flimsy, doesn''t it? It''s likely to break easily." "Beauty, over here we have some for five dors each, they''re a bit sturdier." Indeed, the soft ones weren''t very practical. The harder basins were more reliable, but the three dors extra made Fang Zhiya feel a bit reluctant. Although her family used to be well off, she had always been frugal, and now without money or a job, she naturally had to be even more careful with her spending. In the end, she picked out four basins and set them aside. Then, she followed Li Zhiyan into the two-dor store to pick out other things. The two-dor store was incredibly popr at that moment. After all, it was genuinely a bargain, akin to Pinduoduo''s physical store version. "Aunt Fang, you need some cups, right?" Xiao Yan asked. "You can get two cups here for everyday drinking." "They have tes, bowls, and chopsticks too." Buying these kinds of things in a two-dor store was really cost-effective, especially since they''d usually cost upwards of ten dors each in a supermarket. My mom also liked buying these things in ces like this. "Hmm, this te looks good." "Oh right, there are also trash cans, garbage bags, brooms." "And mops." Moving into a new home really did involve many hassles. So, there were too many things that needed to be bought at this point. "Aunt Fang, take your time choosing, no need to rush," Xiao Yan assured. "I''ll help you carry everything backter." Continuously selecting household items, Fang Zhiya was about to buy some tissues when Li Zhiyan stopped her. "Aunt Fang, we should buy tissues from a reputable brand," Xiao Yan advised. "It''s unhygienic..." The difference between men and women is significant; the production process for some non-branded tissues is truly unspeakable. They can easily lead to gynecological diseases. It''s better to be cautious with such matters. "I understand, Xiao Yan, you really know a lot," Aunt Fang acknowledged. The more Fang Zhiya observed this kid, the more she liked him. He wasn''t just 18 with his own inte caf¨¦ but seemed to understand a bit about everything. The two continued to browse the two-dor store. They stumbled upon a pile of books that were inplete disarray. At that time, supervision wasx, so some of the books in the two-dor store could be sold directly. A nce brought back Li Zhiyan''s adolescent memories; he used to like reading here in the past. And whenever he had money, he would buy some books to treasure. Now, several were still hidden in his family''s treasure chest at home. However, he never looked at that messy stuff¡ªthis upright gentleman only read the ssics... Fang Zhiya also caught sight of the extremely explicit book covers. The book covers were enough to make one blush. "Passions in the rental house, night after night..." "The life of a professional tutor, that night..." "Wife infertile, that day with the sister-inw..." "The neighbor''s mature and charming wife, I indulged in sin with..." Each title made Fang Zhiya''s face grow hot. Chapter 58: Did the Auntie next door suffer from domestic violence? ``` MVLeMpYr-unofficial-text "Aunt Fang, let''s go check out the winnowing baskets over there," "You happen to need one, too." Li Zhiyan was very aware of Fang Zhiya''s traditional values, and if they continued browsing, he estimated that his face would be too red to bear. It was better to tend to urgent matters first. "Okay, Xiao Yan, you help Auntie check for any quality issues." Afterward, the two meticulously picked and chose amongst the items in the dor store, eventually spending 75 yuan on armfuls of various things. Having returned home once, the pair set out again, this time heading to the supermarket. To buy some daily necessities. As they strolled casually through the supermarket, Li Zhiyan asked, "Aunt Fang, howe I''ve never seen you wear high heels?" Most women wear high heels, but there are some who have never touched them in their entire lives. Fang Zhiya before him clearly belonged to thetter category. Going by the trends of his previous life, she probably never wore high heels, even at the time of her suicide in 2012. "Auntie doesn''t like wearing high heels." Li Zhiyan finally came to fully understand Fang Zhiya''s traditionalism; a woman who never exposed her arms or legs, it was perfectly normal for her not to like high heels. In the following time, the two made several trips back and forth. Once all the purchases werepleted, it was already past five in the afternoon. Watching Li Zhiyan install curtains for her privacy, Fang Zhiya''s heart grew increasingly touched. This child was really too good to her. "Xiao Yan, why don''t you sit in front of the fan for a while, and I''ll cook some noodles for you," The whistle of the kettle boiling water on the stove grew louder, helping Li Zhiyan feel more integrated into this era. In a few more years, coal stoves would hardly be seen, most having been reced with gas canisters or natural gas. After installing curtains on both windows, Li Zhiyan walked back and forth a few times, ensuring there were no angles from which one could peep. He then felt at ease. "Aunt Fang, I''ve taken care of it for you, now your privacy can be assured," "Just make sure to pull the curtains at night." The rental was very hot, especially after lighting the coal briquettes. But Fang Zhiya, ever so frugal, didn''tin about the poor and shabby environment. She was quietly cooking dinner instead. It was quite a whileter when the two squeezed in front of the somewhat crowded dining table. "Xiao Yan, try the noodles Auntie made," "I added my own homemade chili sauce to them." Gazing at the simple noodles with chili sauce and a couple of side dishes, Li Zhiyan picked up his chopsticks and took a taste. Indeed, these aunties always made delicious meals. Back in his previous life, none of the young girls he dated knew how to cook, always thinking about how to extract money from his pocket, wringing out all of his surplus value. "Aunt Fang, your noodles are really delicious, especially this chili sauce, it''s truly exceptional," "Do you like it?" "Yes, it''s tasty. Aunt Fang, you really do cook well ¨C the dishes are cooked just right and seasoned perfectly." "Then you cane over when you''re free. I''ll cook for you," Fang Zhiya felt increasingly indebted to the young man before her. Unsure how to repay him, she knew he enjoyed her noodles. So, she decided to cook for him more often. "I will, Aunt Fang. Are you nning to look for a job tomorrow?" "Hmm... Yao Long''s tuition fee still isn''t settled." Fang Zhiya felt a headacheing on. Her previous job wasrgely due to the connections her husband had before he was imprisoned. Finding another white-cor job paying a monthly sry of five thousand wasn''t going to be easy anymore. "But by the time I receive my sry, it will probably be toote." "Xiao Yan, what do you think about Auntie selling mixed noodles?" While eating the noodles Aunt Fang made, Li Zhiyan thought that could be a possibility. "Aunt Fang, I think it''s a good idea. Your cooking is so delicious, you''re sure to make a good amount of money," Li Zhiyan knew that street food stalls could be very profitable; some unassuming stalls could make fifty or sixty thousand yuan a month, or even more. However, this trade was really hard-earned money, and those without great determination couldn''t stick with it. "Then Auntie can give it a try..." As the two chatted, the gloom in Fang Zhiya''s heart dissipated quite a bit. After dinner, they both were drenched in sweat. "Aunt Fang, why don''t you heat some water for a bath first," "I''ll keep watch by the door, and then I''ll have to leave," Fang Zhiya''s cheeks were somewhat flushed, but she agreed nheless. ... ``` Standing at the door, listening to the faint sounds inside, Li Zhiyan realized that the soundproofing of this house was indeed rather poor. If he wasn''t pretending to be Aunt Fang''s son. Then he would probably be in quite a bit of trouble. "The ss leader really isn''t a damn good thing." "With the family fallen on hard times, he even treats his mom like this, not even willing to live with his mom in a rented house." "He''s a beast, no wonder in the previous life Aunt Fang ended upmitting suicide." Ten minutester, the door opened. "Xiao Yan,e in, mom has finished bathing." At this moment, Fang Zhiya was still ying the role of mother and son with Li Zhiyan to prevent anyone from harboring ill intentions. At this moment, Aunt Fang had once again achieved that 36D bust size. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also whispered, "Aunt Fang, I need to go home now, call me anytime if you need anything." "If you have any trouble, call me anytime." "Alright..." Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Li Zhiyan left the building. Watching his retreating figure, Fang Zhiya felt a deep reluctance in her heart. After the footsteps faded away, Fang Zhiya locked the door and drew the curtains, mulling over the future. ... That night, lying at home, he looked at the ten thousand yuan that had been deposited into his ount. Li Zhiyan pondered his next mission. "The savings are already at 140,000, one step closer to the goal of being a millionaire..." "Aunt Gu''s ex-husband ising back to see Yu Sisi." "Can''t let them have a chance to rekindle old mes." "No way, not under any circumstances, Aunt Gu is mine..." Li Zhiyan felt that he should also prod Aunt Gu a bit. ncing at the time, Li Zhiyan called Fang Zhiya to check how she was doing. At this moment, Fang Zhiya, in a new environment, was tossing and turning restlessly. During the day, the title of a steamy rental house story she saw with Li Zhiyan in a two-yuan store echoed in her mind. Because of the heat, Fang Zhiya had undone several buttons, lying on her side and blowing the fan, where the cleavage seemed bottomless. And those exposed snowy white legs were very eye-catching in the light-less rental house. A phone call came in, taking her by surprise. Could it be her son''s? After seeing Li Zhiyan was the caller, she realized perhaps she shouldn''t hold any expectations for her son. "Xiao Yan, is there something you need from Auntie?" Worried she might not hear Li Zhiyan clearly, Fang Zhiya temporarily turned off the fan. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask." "How are you settling into the new ce?" "It''s quite nice..." Although she was somewhat sleepless, Fang Zhiya did not want to share such matters with a child, to avoid worrying him. "Aunt Fang, the meals you cook are really delicious, I still can''t stop thinking about them..." As they chatted, Fang Zhiya increasingly felt that her entanglement with Li Zhiyan was too deep. Especially today, their rtionship had intensified too much. From now on, her life would probably never be without this kid. "Xiao Yan, I will always remember your kindness to me for the rest of my life..." As they talked, Fang Zhiya became somewhat emotional. She really regretted not knowing Li Zhiyan when her family was well-off when she truly had the means to spoil this kid. One awkward thing, though, she and this kid who was 23 years younger than her. Always ended up in some man-woman situations. Like reading that story. Like him massaging her feet, though she knew Li Zhiyan was just an innocent child. But after all, he was at an age where he could make her pregnant, and in one night could do so five or six times. Just then, a creaking noise from the cheap wooden board next door suddenly came through. Fang Zhiya hadn''t expected the house''s soundproofing to be so bad. Immediately, her pretty face blushed hotly. And Li Zhiyan also heard this noise through the phone. He couldn''t help but recall the cover title of that tabloid magazine. "Aunt Fang, is thedy next door being hit?" "Is it domestic violence, Auntie is crying so miserably." Chapter 59: 053 Xiao Yan is a child, doesnt understand matters between men and women The rental house does seem like a ce that easily allows one to fantasize. Li Zhiyan was no exception, no wonder those story writers all like to write about the madness in rental houses. This life is indeed wild... Fang Zhiya''s face grew hotter and hotter, she was still an innocent child after all. There are some things he definitely has never experienced, simply thinking that the couple across was having a domestic dispute. If it were someone with filthy thoughts, they would definitely think of some disgusting things. How should she answer his question? "Xiao Yan." "The couple next door might be fighting." "Then, Aunt Fang, you better not go out, some people get red-eyed when they fight and might attack onlookers." "This aunt is getting beaten up pretty badly." At this moment, Fang Zhiya''s speech was somewhat unclear. "Okay." "Xiao Yan, Auntie will hang up first." After a few words, the two hung up the phone. Fang Zhiya''s heart pounded as she put down her phone; she had never lived in such a ce before. She didn''t expect nighttime life to be like this, now she wouldn''t be able to sleep peacefully. After turning on a fan, the voices of ordinary people were not so clear anymore. Tossing and turning, Fang Zhiya covered her ears, unable to fall asleep. Why did she always encounter such things when she was with this kid? Thinking about Li Zhiyan''s maturity beyond his years, forbidden fantasies involuntarily surfaced in Fang Zhiya''s heart. This made her curse herself for being shameless in her mind. However, she wouldn''t do things like trimming nails for him. After all, her heart was too traditional, regarding some behaviors as a flood and beast. ... The following two days were quite peaceful. Li Zhiyan simplyy there as the inte cafe''s daily thousand yuan in revenue rolled in. At the end of each month, the system would settle ounts with him. Finally, the day to execute the task arrived. It concerned a bonus of fifty thousand yuan, and Li Zhiyan was very serious about it. In the morning, he was just about to message Gu Wanzhou. Gu Wanzhou contacted him first. Gu Wanzhou: "Darling, Auntie''s shoulder is hurting again, can youe and give it a press this afternoon?" Li Zhiyan: "Of course, I''ve been missing you too." Gu Wanzhou: "Good, thene over to Auntie''s for lunch, Auntie will cook for you." After chatting for a while, a smile appeared on the pretty face of Gu Wanzhou, sitting at thepany''s office desk. This kid, he''s really good to me. "Off work!" Stretchingzily, Gu Wanzhou, dressed in her professional attire and pencil skirt, disyed her 36D curves to great effect. Basically, outside, Gu Wanzhou could always be seen in her professional outfit, especially her ck pencil skirt which had be part of her signature look. Thinking of Li Zhiyan, happiness welled up in her heart. Yet Li Zhiyan''s closeness to Rao Shi Yun that day also echoed in her heart. This kid! He''s really getting close to that woman, Rao Shiyun. Years of close friendship with her, because of Li Zhiyan, had also developed a slight rift. Although neither of them had said anything, the feeling was already there. "What''s gotten into metely..." "Could it be I really want to date that kid?" ... Even after grocery shopping and getting home, Gu Wanzhou''s thoughts were still on Li Zhiyan. "Last time''s incident can''t happen again, I can''t let that kid touch my thigh anymore." "There''s a principle of propriety between men and women, and things that should be avoided must be avoided." Thinking about thest time the kid stole a kiss from her. Gu Wanzhou still felt somewhat flushed with embarrassment. After preparing everything, Gu Wanzhou made a phone call to Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan." "Aunt Gu." "Auntie has bought the groceries, you cane over now." "Yu Sisi is not at home today, preventing any awkwardness if you two met." With Gu Wanzhou mentioning this, Li Zhiyan had almost forgotten about the existence of Yu Sisi. Lately, his attention had been on the aunts, as for his once beloved Yu Sisi, had it not been for Aunt Gu bringing her up, Li Zhiyan would havepletely overlooked her presence. However, Yu Sisi would inevitably reappear in his life in the future. After all, he still wanted to visit her hometown to give her a little sister. "Okay, Aunt Gu, I''m on my way." No sooner had the phone been hung up than a familiar yet strange number called in. "Hello?" "Wife." Hearing her ex-husband Yu Yunfei''s voice, Gu Wanzhou frowned. She hadn''t been in contact with her ex-husband for many years, and now he was calling her. What did he want, wasn''t he doing business over in Magic Capital? "Yu Yunfei, don''t call me wife, we have been divorced for many years, please show some respect." Although Gu Wanzhou still felt a familial affection for Yu Yunfei, she disliked being addressed as ''wife'' by a man she had divorced. It was a disrespect to the divorce certificate. "Alright then, Wanzhou, I''m at the Junhao Hotel right now." "I''d like to stop by the houseter to see our daughter." "And perhaps have lunch at your ce." "This request shouldn''t be too much to ask, right?" Gu Wanzhou knew that, indeed, this request wasn''t too much. But just a moment ago, she had made arrangements with Li Zhiyan, and it didn''t seem quite right to have the two men meet. Even though she wasn''t taking it seriously, the young man was earnestly pursuing her. And she had promised to give it serious consideration. "It seems a bit inconvenient..." Yu Yunfei was slightly stunned, could it be that his ex-wife already had a man? If that was the case, then his daughter should''ve hinted at something. Even though hismunication with his daughter was infrequent. Every now and then, they would have a phone call and chat. His current visit to Wancheng was an attempt to reconnect with his ex-wife and have a good rtionship with her. If things went smoothly, he would try to rekindle the old me at her ceter on. Having been with so many women, he still found his legitimate wife to be the most satisfying. Regardless, he had to put some effort into this. If he could rekindle the old me in his ex-wife''s bedroom that afternoon, it would be worth losing a few years of life. Regrettably, he was young and foolish then, quarreling with her until it turned their world upside down. They had reached the point of divorce, and thinking back now, Gu Wanzhou was just a bit strong-willed. But as a person, she was really nice, even willing to cook for him and their daughter. In modern women, this was a rare trait. But now, it wasn''t toote. "There is a kiding over for lunch, it''s Sisi''s ssmate, a little boy." Hearing it was a little boy, Yu Yunfei faintly felt something was off. "What''s the big deal? It''s just a kid, right? We can all eat together," "That''s no issue, we''ll have lunch together, have a couple of drinks." He thought, it was just a kid after all, get him drunk, tuck him on the sofa, and he''d probably sleep for five or six hours. Five or six hours would be enough for him to indulge in passion and live in a dream. "Alright..." "I''ll talk to him, ask him toe some other day," Gu Wanzhou knew that her ex-husband justing over for a meal was not unreasonable. "That''s even better," Yu Yunfei felt this would save him more trouble. Chapter 60: 054 This kid is really possessive! Yu Yunfei had felt that something was off before. It was just a little boy after all; he didn''t take it to heart¡ªworst case, get him drunk and then he could still indulge in his own pleasure. But if he didn''te, that would save the trouble. With just the two of them, he could definitely force some physical contact. Yu Yunfei understood his ex-wife well; she was the type who would absolutely never cheat. Not like Li Meifeng, that flirty thing, who, despite not being much to look at, really had a line of men from her affairs. Which meant that she hadn''t had that sort of thing for years. Any normal woman has needs. With his provocation, he didn''t believe she could control herself. When that time came, wouldn''t she be at his mercy? Although she was a strong-willed woman, at most she would resist for a bit. And then she would relent... ... He opened the call log with Li Zhiyan. Gu Wanzhou hesitated for a moment, wondering if that would make the boy overthink. Still, she dialed Li Zhiyan''s number; after all, she could just have hime over another day. "Hello, Xiao Yan." "Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan, who was about to take a taxi from the inte caf¨¦, already understood the situation when he received Gu Wanzhou''s call. It must be his ex-husband bro.. no, his ex-husband Uncleing home. That''s why Aunt Gu felt it was inconvenient. Li Zhiyan was very grateful for the system; he became increasingly certain that the system''s missions were based on his own heart. He wanted Aunt Gu to be his girlfriend. So when his goal was obstructed, the system would issue a mission. "Xiao Yan." "Your Uncle ising back to see Sisi today." "Sisi might alsoe back at noon." "It might not be convenient at noon, so, how about youe over to Auntie''s ce for a meal another day." Before Gu Wanzhou could finish speaking, Li Zhiyan adamantly refused. He''d long been aware that this ex-husband Uncle was a sex addict and wanted to win Aunt Gu back. So, under no circumstances should he be absent from this situation. Never mind the possibility of Sisiing back; even if her return was certain, he had to go... This was a matter of great importance to him. "It''s okay, Aunt Gu, don''t you treat me like a kid?" "It won''t make a difference if I''m there for a meal, right? I know your shoulder is hurting, I''ll give it a good massageter." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s insistence, Gu Wanzhou stopped trying to dissuade him. However, when it came to stealing a kiss, he didn''t treat her like a child, did he! "Alright then, Xiao Yan,e over. Auntie is going to start cooking now." After hanging up the phone and hailing a taxi, Li Zhiyan headed straight for Gu Wanzhou''s ce. ... Upon reaching the front door, he pressed the doorbell. Gu Wanzhou quickly opened the door, wearing her slippers. "Xiao Yan, you''re here." "Aunt Gu." Today, Gu Wanzhou was still dressed as usual in a white button-up shirt, a ck pencil skirt, and a pair of flesh-colored stockings. Those beautiful legs made Li Zhiyan recall the massage he''d given Aunt Gu. Back then, he had been daring, even venturing to steal a kiss. He had even tried licking, and thinking about it now still felt thrilling. "Aunt Gu, let me give you a massage." "Is your neck hurting now?" Gu Wanzhou didn''t immediately let Li Zhiyan massage her but went to the kitchen to cook instead. "Xiao Yan, just take a seat for now." "Eat wellter, that''s all." "Aunt Gu, let me help you." At this moment, the scent from Gu Wanzhou made Li Zhiyan somewhat loath to part. Plus, in the kitchen, he could get a better look at Aunt Gu''s fair face. Li Zhiyan naturally didn''t want to just sit in the living room. After getting busy in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan tentatively asked, "Aunt Gu, when you say Uncle ising back, is he looking to reconcile with you or something?" He was well aware that the biggest roadblock between him and Aunt Gu was Gu Wanzhou''s ex-husband, as they had many years of emotional foundation. He was just a neer in Aunt Gu''s life and had just recently gotten to know her for a short period. So, he had to be vignt... That way,ter on, he could help Sisi''s family n for a second child. "I don''t know, maybe..." Gu Wanzhou said very calmly. If it wasn''t for their daughter tying the two of them together, they would have already lost contact by now. After so many years, she had gotten used to living alone. "So it''s possible for you to reconcile with him?" Gu Wanzhou found it somewhat amusing. What was this kid talking about, filling his head with all these strange ideas? "Are you trying to meddle in Auntie''s affairs?" "I hadn''t realized, you think quite a lot for a kid." "That''s why you insisted oning over, isn''t it?" "Of course." Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. "Aunt Gu." "After all, you promised me, to seriously consider being with me." "So during this time, you can''t show any inclination of that sort towards anyone else." "If you consider such things, it could only be with me." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s jealousyden words, Gu Wanzhou felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart, yet she also found it amusing. This kid really had a strong sense of possessiveness. It seemed that today''s insistence oning over was because she mentioned Yu Yunfei would return. "Do you still n to hoard Auntie all to yourself to death?" Li Zhiyan was holding onto Gu Wanzhou''s arm. "Yes, you can only belong to me." "Aunt Gu, you have to promise me, otherwise, I''m not letting go." Watching the petnt Li Zhiyan, a motherly love overflowed in Gu Wanzhou''s eyes. A child would always be a child, with some habits unchangeable. She couldn''t help but stroke Li Zhiyan''s head, just as if she were caressing her own son. This proximity. Her eyes couldn''t help but steal nces at Li Zhiyan from time to time. Truly, a child prodigious beyond his years. She had noticed the things he left on his chair at the inte cafest time. "Aunt Gu, I hope you can promise me, to not consider getting back with Uncle." "I hope that in the future, you will only belong to me." Looking into Li Zhiyan''s sincere eyes, Gu Wanzhou felt touched. The emotions of the young are so genuine. As they grow up, often, many other things get intertwined. "Alright, my dear, Auntie promises you, but Auntie hasn''t agreed to be your girlfriend. I want to be your godmother, yet this kid just doesn''t agree." "Thank you, Aunt Gu!" Li Zhiyan swiftly embraced Gu Wanzhou and then quickly let go. Allowing her to feel it for a moment, it felt so natural. Not knowing when Aunt Gu''s life will be filled with contentment and happiness. "Anyway, I don''t treat you like a godmother; I treat you like a woman." Li Zhiyan''s muttered words made Gu Wanzhou''s heartbeat quicken. "Let''s start cooking for Auntie." Gu Wanzhou''s face flushed slightly, wearing thin clothes in summer, such an embrace could be keenly felt. She never intended anything with her ex-husband, just a meal at home with her daughter, that was all. After sensing Li Zhiyan''s possessiveness, Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but feel closer to him. "Thank you, Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief; he knew Gu Wanzhou was someone who kept her word. In the future, everything about Aunt Gu, including her right to conceive, could only be exercised by himself. Li Zhiyan''s possessiveness was much stronger than the average person; he couldn''t tolerate the idea of his beloved woman being touched by someone else. Because he didn''t have the psychological disorder that some cuckold fetishists have¡ªthose who wish to wear bright green cuckoldry, which Li Zhiyan found disgusting. As Li Zhiyan looked forward to the massage toe, the sound of the doorbell rang. "Go open the door for your Uncle Yu." ... Outside the door, the now expectant Yu Yunfei was very much looking forward to kissing his wife and what would happen afterward. It was only now that he realized the best thing in his life had been his ex-wife. Once the door opened, he would first engulf her in a mad kiss. To stir up her hormones, and then... With that thought, his heart fluttered. At the moment the door opened. The instant Yu Yunfei, with umbre in hand, opened the door and was about to force a kiss, he saw a young man. After subconsciously acknowledging the talent several times greater than his own, the inted Yu Yunfei deted instantly. Inferiority. Howe this kid still came, probably the child Gu Wanzhou mentioned, truly annoying. It looked like he would have to down a few sses of vodka to knock him outter; he couldn''t let him mess up his ns. Chapter 61: This plot is so familiar to me! Seeing Li Zhiyan before him. always-on-MvLeMpYr Yu Yunfei decided it was time to get the kid ck-out drunk. Otherwise, the hope of rekindling an old me with Gu Wanzhou today was unrealistic. "Hello, uncle, my name is Li Zhiyan, and I''m Yu Sisi''s ssmate." Li Zhiyan said with a smile, he was very polite, knowing that ying hard wouldn''t work. After all, the two had been husband and wife for many years, and he couldn''t let Aunt Gu find any fault with him; otherwise, it would only push her further away. Mature women consider things differently than young people; he had to subtly ruin Yu Yunfei''s ns, tarnish his image, and ensure that he lost his chance with Aunt Gupletely. Aunt Gu could only belong to him. Having the identity of a child was convenient; Aunt Gu would surely trust him first. Li Zhiyan realized then that being young was great, even Aunt Fang thought he was clueless, ying along with his im of domestic abuse next door. "Mm." He entered the house quietly, and from afar, he saw Gu Wanzhou busy in the kitchen. His wife still had such a good figure, and she was at her most radiant. He was determined to have his wish fulfilled today. He would be leaving Wancheng in the evening. It would be hard to tell when he would get such an opportunity again. If he slept with her first, talking about remarrying would be much easier. "Wife, long time no see." "Don''t call me like that." Gu Wanzhou turned around, her face serious as she looked at Yu Yunfei. They were divorced, and it was clearly inappropriate to call her that. Seeing that serious expression on Gu Wanzhou, Yu Yunfei remembered that his ex-wife was actually a very assertive woman. If he continued to call her wife, he might really be thrown out on his ear. Then, any hopes for hormonal romance would definitely be dashed. "Wanzhou, sorry, I got used to calling you that when we were together." "I''ll call our daughter first." Yu Yunfei sat down on the sofa and began to call Yu Sisi. Li Zhiyan didn''t want to see Yu Sisi, but their rtionship with Gu Wanzhou was there, and it was unrealistic not to see her; he might even have to help her get a little sister in the future. "Darling, I''m home now, hurry back." "Sorry, Dad, I''m climbing a mountain right now, a bit far from home, I probably won''t be back until the evening." Yu Yunfei was somewhat disappointed, wishing he hadmunicated with his daughter in advance. But his visit today was due to ast-minute work obligation. "If it''ll be evening, then just have fun outside." "You like traveling too, Dad will have to leave in the evening." "I''m sorry, Dad, this is a good opportunity for you and Mom to get along, just the two of you. I really hope you two can remarriage." "Dad will try his best. Remarriage isn''t just your wish, it''s also what Dad wants." Yu Yunfei''s voice was loud, deliberately allowing Gu Wanzhou to hear. With his efforts and his daughter fanning the mes, there was no fear they wouldn''t reconcile. The tough part today was dealing with this kid. With him around, getting intimate and rekindling the romance with his ex-wife was too inconvenient. "Wanzhou, let me help you cook." Gu Wanzhou nced at Li Zhiyan, figuring that a jealous type like him would be disappointed seeing Yu Yunfei offering to help her cook. She liked Li Zhiyan a lot, otherwise, she wouldn''t have considered adopting him as her son. Better not to upset him. "Let''s not, you''vee all this way, might as well rest. Xiao Yan,e help Auntie, will you?" Watching Li Zhiyan head to the kitchen, Yu Yunfei reluctantly sat down. He had been looking forward to snatching a small advantage in the kitchenter, to first trigger his ex-wife''s hormones. But now with this kid in the way, that was not going to happen. For some reason, Yu Yunfei felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, especially when he saw the two of them from behind, he always had this strange feeling. It seemed like his ex-wife and this little boy were ying house. Shaking his head to dismiss the ridiculous thought. Yu Yunfei felt his ideas had be too filthy, his ex-wife was 41 after all, and this boy was only 18. It would be more usible for him to fancy his daughter. How could he possibly have anything to do with Gu Wanzhou. ... "Little guy, Auntie hasn''t gotten close to your uncle, satisfied now?" While cooking, Gu Wanzhou asked with a bit of teasing in her voice. The child''s possessiveness sometimes really was quite funny. Yet it was also a reflection of his innocence, the very reason he was possessive was that he cared. It''s just too bad, if his feelings for her weren''t romantic, then she wouldn''t have these troubles now. "Yes, Aunt Gu, that''s how it should be." Li Zhiyan''s seriousness made Gu Wanzhou feel a bit of aplex emotion. When the dishes were brought to the table, Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou sat together, while Yu Yunfei took a seat opposite them. Yu Yunfei picked up his bowl, took a sip, and said nostalgically, "Wanzhou, after all these years, your cooking is still so delicious." "I came in a hurry this time. In a few days, I''ll take some time off to go hiking with you and our daughter. Our girl loves hiking, right?" Gu Wanzhou did not relent, she was still very mindful of the child''s feelings by her side. Li Zhiyaning from a single-parent familycked affection, which made Gu Wanzhou''s heart ache for him even more. Although she couldn''t be with him, she didn''t want him to feel upset. Her heart definitely had feelings for Yu Yunfei, not to mention the bond they shared through their daughter. But the child Li Zhiyan, he really was very good. The way he stepped in front of her, blocking that tall Huang Mao that one time. Gu Wanzhou could never forget it. The child was also exceptionally important to her. She had to work hard to give him love, guide his views on love, and in the end, be his godmother. "Forget it, just finish your meal and leave quickly. I know you''re busy with your business." "Taking leave on purpose, let''s not speak of that." "I know you''re usually very busy." "I''m also very busy on a regr basis, I don''t have time to go hiking." Li Zhiyan understood this very clearly, women like Gu Wanzhou or Rao Shi Yun who had their own careers were mostly busy with things to do. Yu Yunfei was somewhat disappointed, it seemed reconciliation was not going to be easy. It looked like he must first stir up her hormones for there to be a chance, and then, Yu Yunfei had an idea. He could touch her foot under the table with his foot. Then touch her leg, slowly arousing her loneliness. If he could get the kid drunk as well. Then it would work¡­ His motto was to act upon an idea. What he didn''t know, though... The attentive Li Zhiyan was already on guard against him. This was because of the simr plots he had seen in movies he liked. He was too familiar with this script! When Yu Yunfei stretched his foot towards Gu Wanzhou''s. Li Zhiyan blocked it with his own foot, d in sports shoes. "Uncle, why are you touching my shoe with your foot!" Chapter 62: I need to help you After touching a foot with his. Yu Yunfei felt the urge to close his eyes. His wife was still wearing sneakers, huh... These ordinary sneakers, however, seemed to be so charming on Gu Wanzhou''s feet. Utterly enchanting... But Li Zhiyan''s wordspletely dumbfounded him. The foot he was touching actually belonged to Li Zhiyan! Gu Wanzhou also realized what had happened, and she couldn''t help covering her mouth withughter. Yu Yunfei really did return with his own agenda in mind. However, this kid was quite shrewd, and what''s more, he was a jealous one, unable to tolerate others getting close to him at all. Her ex-husband had no chance of seeding today. There was no way this jealous pot would let him get close to her. Withdrawing his foot, Yu Yunfei felt a bit disgusted. Indeed, this kid turned out to be the biggest stumbling block today. Such bad luck. Afterughing for quite a while, Gu Wanzhou finally calmed down. "Young man, why don''t you join uncle for a couple of drinks today?" Li Zhiyan shook his head. "Uncle, I don''t like drinking." When it came to drinking, Li Zhiyan really wasn''t much interested. Even though he now had the skills of the Wine God, he usually abstained from alcohol. Of course, he was just being polite. If someone wanted to get him drunk, he''d simply turn the tables and get them drunk first, and then wake them up when it suited him. That would save a lot of trouble. "A man has to drink, how else can you do in today''s society, where rtionships are so important?" "Without the ability to drink, you won''t get by anywhere." After a trip to the liquor cab, Yu Yunfei opened a bottle of Wuliangye. He poured a ss for himself and another for Li Zhiyan. "What are you doing?" "Xiao Yan is just a kid, he shouldn''t be drinking." thank-you-for-using-MvLeMpYr Though she said this, Gu Wanzhou''s mind unconsciously recalled what Li Meifeng had said about Li Zhiyan blocking drinks for Rao Shiyun, and how no one present could outdrink the kid. Yu Yunfei could hold his liquor, but he would probably just be wasting his effort. "Don''t fuss so much, I''m training him early for society. He''ll thank meter." With that, Yu Yunfei lifted his ss. "Cheers, I''ll drink to you." Looking at the full ss of liquor, Li Zhiyan downed it in one gulp, for him, it was as easy as pie. Yu Yunfei hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to finish a whole ss so quickly, so he reluctantly followed suit and drank in one go. He then waited for Li Zhiyan to copse drunk. A person who has never drunk before doesn''t know anything about it; it''s true that in a burst of enthusiasm, they can finish a ss in one go, but it''s the rising alcohol warmth that''s the real test! "Uncle, you''ve toasted me, so I should toast you as well." Li Zhiyan filled another ss for Yu Yunfei to the brim. When it came to drinking, ten Yu Yunfei''s wouldn''t be enough topete. "Uncle, I''ll go first." After Li Zhiyan downed another ss, Yu Yunfei finally realized that he might have bitten off more than he could chew. This young man seemed to be a Wine God! But Yu Yunfei, cornered as he was, had no choice but to drink. After all, he couldn''t just show no manners in front of his ex-wife to a kid. Just as he finished drinking, Li Zhiyan poured yet another full ss for him. "Uncle, you really can hold your liquor. I drink to that." Before Yu Yunfei could make an excuse, Li Zhiyan had already knocked back another ss. Yu Yunfei had to keep drinking, and after three consecutive sses, he couldn''t control himself anymore. He copsed onto the dining table... And fell asleep. Watching this scene, Gu Wanzhou found it truly amusing. Yu Yunfei nned to get the kid drunk, but in the end, it was he who got inebriated by the kid. She was somewhat astonished in her heart, the kid really could handle his liquor, having had three drinks with no apparent effects! However, she also felt it, Li Zhiyan''s jealousy was indeed substantial. "I''ll bring him to the sofa to sleep." Just as Gu Wanzhou was about to stand up, she was stopped by Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Gu, men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving things!" "I''ll move him to the sofa myself!" Gu Wanzhou found the situation increasingly amusing. She was also teasing Li Zhiyan. "Then why did you still give Aunt Gu a massage?" "Am I not a child?" Gu Wanzhou''s face reddened slightly, this child, when he stole a kiss from her, certainly didn''t treat himself as a child. "Then your identity is indeed very flexible." "Forget it, let''s just leave him be, we''ll eat. Sleeping here is also quite nice." ... After the meal, Gu Wanzhou and Li Zhiyan cleaned up the dishes together. Yu Yunfei was lying there, obviously in a deep sleep. The current task wasn''t yetpleted, it seemed they had to wait for him to leave before they could settle up. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also entered the main topic. "Aunt Gu." "Does your neck still hurt?" When Li Zhiyan said this, Gu Wanzhou, who hadn''t felt anything, started to feel her neck pain again. "Mm, perhaps it''s because I''ve been sitting in the office for too longtely, so my neck is a bit sore." "Xiao Yan, I''ll need your help." Walking side by side with Li Zhiyan, she sat down on the sofa, her heart filled with immense anticipation. If one day she no longer had Li Zhiyan, how would she survive? After taking off his shoes, Li Zhiyan sat behind Gu Wanzhou on the sofa and began to massage her. Smelling the fragrance emanating from Gu Wanzhou''s body. Li Zhiyanunched his skill. "Mm..." Gu Wanzhou involuntarily let out a soft moan. Li Zhiyan''s massage was indeed impressive; his hands truly possessed a unique magic. Afterward, she gently unfastened the first button of her blouse. Gu Wanzhou could feel it, with clothes in the way, the pressure wasn''t quite right, and after all, Li Zhiyan was just a child, so she let him see. From his angle, Li Zhiyan naturally saw Aunt Gu''s deep cleavage. Aunt Gu was indeed well-endowed. Yu Yunfei, sleeping soundly at the dining table, faintly heard sounds typically made by a woman in certain circumstances. In his grogginess, he felt somewhat excited. He seemed to be at his ex-wife''s house. Could it be that she couldn''t resist any longer and had started to... After briefly regaining consciousness, Yu Yunfei fell back into a deep sleep. After massaging Gu Wanzhou for over half an hour, Gu Wanzhou finally felt the painpletely dissipate. "Xiao Yan, if it weren''t for you, Auntie wouldn''t know what to do." "Aunt Gu, let me massage your legs." "I see you''re still wearing high heels; if you don''t get them massaged often, it can cause problemster on." When talking about massaging legs, the event from before once again surfaced in Gu Wanzhou''s mind. But considering Li Zhiyan was just a child, she nodded agreement. "Alright." Li Zhiyan excitedly lifted Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful legs and ced them on his own. He had already bent down, apprehensive that Gu Wanzhou might notice something. Looking at the flesh-colored stockings on Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful legs, smelling the fragrance of Aunt Gu''s body. Li Zhiyan said somewhat awkwardly, "Aunt Gu, I need to take off your stockings." "Otherwise, the pressure applied during the massage won''t be correct." Gu Wanzhou''s breathing turned somewhat rapid. Chapter 63: 057 Gu Wanzhou Pretends to Sleep [Seeking First Subscription] At this moment, Gu Wanzhou felt her heartbeat quickening. The kid was going to help her remove her stockings. That seemed somewhat inappropriate, after all, there are differences between men and women. However, before Gu Wanzhou could respond, Li Zhiyan had already ced his hand on her shapely leg. The stockings Gu Wanzhou wore reached over her knees, covering half of her thighs. So it did spare them some embarrassment. The second Li Zhiyan''s hand touched her leg, Gu Wanzhou''s nerves tensed uncontrobly. The kid''s hand was really warm, with a unique, almost magical feeling to it. It made Gu Wanzhou let out an involuntary moan. Slowly, he pealed Aunt Gu''s stockings down her legs. The whole process felt almost like an art form, keeping Li Zhiyan''s eyes transfixed. Aunt Gu''s legs are so beautiful... So white, so smooth. "Aunt Gu," "Your legs are truly beautiful." A feeling of shyness gradually rose in Gu Wanzhou''s heart; were she not married and if a man dared do this to her, he would certainly suffer her poking-eye attack. But Li Zhiyan was just a kid, and more importantly, a kid she liked very, very much. "Let me take care of the other one, Auntie will do it herself," she said. After slipping off the other stocking, Gu Wanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Zhiyan was a kid, he was of age after all, and helping her remove her stockings just felt off. "Aunt Gu, I''ll start massaging you now," said Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan began gently kneading Gu Wanzhou''s ankle. For women who wear high heels for long periods, asional ankle pain is inevitable. Auntie Rao also likes high heels, so her ankles must hurt as well. If he gets a chance, he should give Auntie Rao an ankle massage too. Wonder if hanging those two will make them tired? Maybe they need a massage. As he thought about it, Li Zhiyan''s mind began to wander. Gradually, Gu Wanzhou closed her eyes. Li Zhiyan''s massage was indeed toofortable. It made her want to lie there and asionally let out some light moans. "Xiao Yan, I didn''t realize you could hold your liquor so well." "You had three sses of white liquor and werepletely fine." "I''ve heard about it," Aunt Gu said. "Previously, for your Auntie Rao, you drank alone against seven people." After a while, Gu Wanzhou and Li Zhiyan began to discuss the drinking matter. She felt a sour sensation in her heart; the boy couldn''t be interested in Rao Shiyun, could he? At thest dinner gathering, Sharma Shiyun even held Li Zhiyan''s hand under the table. At that time, she had also reached out to hold Li Zhiyan''s hand. Those two, they couldn''t possibly have something between them? Thinking of Li Meifeng constantly talking about breastfeeding, Gu Wanzhou''s heart felt ufortably tight. "Aunt Gu, that time it was Lew Huan trying to trouble Auntie Rao, wanting to get her drunk to do something unsavory," exined Li Zhiyan. "Of course I had to stop that." As Gu Wanzhouy there, she watched Li Zhiyan before her and felt that he was a child who truly knew how to cherish and care for women. Likewise, he was the same with her. "You are quite the gant, although Rao Shiyun is indeed beautiful," she remarked. "And what''s more, she has an even better figure, the kind many men dream of." Gu Wanzhou knew that Rao Shiyun was a year older than her. If Li Zhiyan could like her, he could just as well like Rao Shiyun. "I think each has its merits," Li Zhiyan replied. "Your figure is also very nice, slim and delicate, just right." Li Zhiyan appreciated all sorts of figures. Of course, except for the t-chested. To catch Li Zhiyan''s eye, one must at least have a 36C bust. For t chests, he always felt like he was dating a brother. Not only would the child be hungry in the future, but he would also go hungry on a regr basis. He preferred the kind of fullness Auntie Rao offered. "So, in your heart, do you like Auntie more, or do you like your Auntie Rao more?" Gu Wanzhou asked casually, her pretty face flushing slightly. Li Zhiyan''s massage was just toofortable. Although she pretended to ask casually, Gu Wanzhou really wanted to know the answer. "Well, if I tell the truth, you mustn''t get angry," said Li Zhiyan. While openly touching Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful leg, he continued. "Don''t worry, Auntie won''t get angry," she assured him. Gu Wanzhou felt a twinge of disappointment. If the child said so, he must certainly like Rao Shiyun a bit more in his heart. Although one was enough to satisfy, children probably preferred to eat until they were stuffed. "I like you more," he revealed. "You are the best elder in my heart." Naturally, Li Zhiyan knew he had to be careful when a woman made such inquiries. If he truly admitted to liking Rao Shiyun more, then he could expect Aunt Gu to be angry and ignore him. All women are a bit petty, and even if Gu Wanzhou didn''t harbor romantic feelings for him, that inherentpetitive nature among women was certain. When the two of them were together before, Li Zhiyan had also sensed a subtle tension in the air. "You child..." Although Gu Wanzhou couldn''t discern what Li Zhiyan was truly thinking, a tender smile still spread across her lovely face. Not far away, Yu Yunfei, who was lying there asleep, still had no idea. His ex-wife, whom he wished to remarry, had her beautiful legs being recklessly caressed by the boy he disliked in his heart. "Aunt Gu, it''s time to switch to the other leg. Please put both legs on mine," because Li Zhiyan''s massage was toofortable. As a result, Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat listless and could only lightly murmur in agreement. This boy, why does giving me a leg massage make me feel almost sleepy? The two fair and wless legs were soon sessfully resting on Li Zhiyan''s legs, probably because he was wearing shorts. So the legs of the two were in zero distance contact. The soft sensation that came through made Li Zhiyan''s reaction very natural. "Aunt Gu, then I will continue the massage for you," This time, Li Zhiyan was experienced, his hands moving back and forth massaging Gu Wanzhou''s calves. After a while, he moved up to her thighs. Gu Wanzhou subtly pulled down her bodycon skirt, making sure not to reveal anything, before she closed her eyes tightly. Gradually, she fell asleep just like thest time. "Aunt Gu," Li Zhiyan softly called out... Realizing that Gu Wanzhou had fallen asleep, he gently stopped the massage. He closely admired the fairness of Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful legs. Although they were not as voluptuous as Auntie Rao''s legs,pared to those of an average girl, they had that bit more charm. "Aunt Gu''s legs are so white, so beautiful." "Maybe... I should steal a kiss on Aunt Gu''s leg." Li Zhiyan nced at Yu Yunfei, who was soundly asleep. All of a sudden, he felt the thrill of wrongdoing in the presence of her husband... "Damn, my thoughts are bing more and more wicked," Li Zhiyan felt he was betraying the ssics he read in the dor store. I read ssics, but what am I thinking about all day? However, once the idea appeared, it was like the earlier thought of stealing a kiss from Gu Wanzhou; it could not be dispelled. That idea, like a demon, continuously circled in Li Zhiyan''s heart. Afterward, under the drive of strange thoughts, he looked at Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful legs and slowly bent down. He won''t be discovered. Didn''t he secretly kiss Aunt Gust time without being discovered either? Thinking this, Li Zhiyan could no longer control his own thoughts. He slowly lowered his head. And then, he gently kissed Gu Wanzhou''s calf. Aunt Gu''s beautiful legs really had no ws at all, and at this moment, Li Zhiyan also swelled with desire. He truly couldn''t control his heart. ... The very instant the warm, damp sensation came, Gu Wanzhou woke up, clearly realizing the boy had stolen a kiss from her again. How could he be so bold, with Yu Yunfei right there? Although he was drunk, he could wake up at any moment. Gu Wanzhou could feel her body temperature slowly rising. She was hesitant about whether to wake up, but considering that Li Zhiyan hadn''t done anything too inappropriate, she decided to continue feigning sleep. He was just a child. At 18 years old, it was the time when hormonal surges were at their peak, and one would be filled with curiosity about the opposite sex. So it was quite normal for him to want to explore a woman. After kissing Gu Wanzhou''s calf, Li Zhiyan then lifted his head. He felt like a thief with a guilty conscience, looking at Gu Wanzhou, who was still asleep, his heartbeat quickening. MVLeMpYr-the-story-tform Let''s stop here... He made up his mind and continued to massage Gu Wanzhou''s calf. Gu Wanzhou, lying there, also breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the boy only stole a kiss on her calf. She decided to keep pretending to be asleep. It was just a kiss on the calf. She would act as if she knew nothing about it. But after a while, Li Zhiyan realized he was beginning to lose control of his thoughts again. Since he had already kissed her once, kissing her again didn''t really make any difference, did it? Thinking this, he slowly lowered his head again. And gently kissed Gu Wanzhou''s other calf. The moist sensation came again, making Gu Wanzhou''s heart thump heavily. This boy, when will he ever stop... Fortunately, Li Zhiyan only kissed for less than three seconds before he moved away from her legs. This allowed Gu Wanzhou to rx slowly. ... "Kissing Aunt Gu''s legs feels so good," "When can I do this openly and rightfully?" "I wish I could kiss Aunt Gu''s lips." Looking at Gu Wanzhou''s red lips, Li Zhiyan''s mind was filled with all sorts of muddled thoughts. After a while, looking at Gu Wanzhou''s thighs, Li Zhiyan''s mind once again entertained the thought. Since he had already kissed the calves, kissing the thighs couldn''t be that much different, right... Slowly bending down, he gently kissed Gu Wanzhou''s thigh. Chapter 64: 058 Once you promise, dont go back on your word The sensation of damp heat came over her. Gu Wanzhou snapped to awake, not having anticipated this. This child was bolder than she thought, his mouth never staying idle.... And it seemed he didn''t n to stop. Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face quickly flushed hot. This kid, he actually¡­ And she also seemed to feel something herself. She could not pretend to be asleep any longer, stretchednguidly as if about to awaken. Li Zhiyan hurriedly sat up, but still bending over. No helping it, he simply couldn''t hide his arousal. Upon seeing Gu Wanzhou open her eyes, Li Zhiyan softly asked, "Aunt Gu, you''re awake." He cursed the damn hormones internally, youth dide with some drawbacks. His mind would always wander towards doing some strange things, which wasn''t good at all. "Mm." Gu Wanzhou sounded somewhat breathless. Actually, when Li Zhiyan was massaging her legs earlier, she repeated the reaction from thest massage. Only this time she managed to restrain herself a bit more, so it wasn''t as outrageous as thest time. "Aunt Gu, I''ll continue massaging for you." Watching Li Zhiyan seriously massaging her legs, Gu Wanzhou genuinely felt that thisd had found a legitimate excuse to touch her legs. As Li Zhiyan''s massaging skills kicked in, Gu Wanzhou would asionally utter a moan, but she really dared not fall asleep this time. read-first-on-MVLeMpYr She was afraid Li Zhiyan would steal the chance to kiss her thigh secretly. That feeling was truly too embarrassing. "My my, you do have a remarkable tolerance for alcohol, Auntie. I seem to barely smell any alcohol on you." "Maybe I''ve always had a talent for drinking." As the two were chatting, Yu Yunfei, who wasying on the dining table sleeping, slowly woke up. The memories of earlier surged back like the tide, clearing his head quite significantly¡­ What had happened? He seemed to have been gotten drunk by that 18-year-old kid. After downing three sses in session, he had to follow suit with the drinking, but he couldn''t hold out and passed out directly. Upon getting up, a headache coursed through him, and he gently pressed his temples to feel somewhat relieved. But why wasn''t he in Gu Wanzhou''s bedroom? If he were in the bedroom, he could close the door and get down to business just fine. Now, however, he found himself lying on the dining table; so, what was Gu Wanzhou doing? And the kid? In the realm of drinking, he actually lost to a kid. As he lifted his head, he saw a scene he would never forget. Gu Wanzhou was lying on the couch, her beautiful legs resting upon the legs of the young boy. And the boy''s hands were caressing up and down her beautiful legs. Even the pair of stockings she had put on earlier were resting on the coffee table. Clearly they were just taken off, and at this thought, Yu Yunfei began to tremble. "What are you two doing! Gu Wanzhou, have you no shame?" "He''s your daughter''s ssmate, just of age, and you''re 41¡ªhow could you do such a thing!" The drunken Yu Yunfei red up in anger. "What nonsense are you spouting, Yu Yunfei? Li Zhiyan is just giving me a massage." "How can you have such dirty thoughts? He''s just a child!" Li Zhiyan felt increasingly the convenience of the role of a child. It indeed was very handy¡­ No matter what he did, others would think of him as just a kid. Argue and bicker, the more they did, the easier it would be to fan the mester. "Gu Wanzhou, with the stockings off, your hand roaming up and down the legs¡ªis this how you let someone massage you? Have you no sense of decency, to let such a young kid do such things with you!" The still drunk Yu Yunfei was enraged, and the two had previously quarreled fiercely over some matters. Gu Wanzhou also sat up. "What nonsense are you talking about!" "We''re already divorced, don''t say I only treat Xiao Yan like a son!" "Even if something really happened between him and me, it would bepletely justified." "It''s not against thew, nor against morality, now get out of my house!" It was such endless arguments that had led to their divorce in the first ce, leaving Gu Wanzhou feeling both physically and mentally exhausted. Now, she just wanted to drive Yu Yunfei away and end this pointless dispute. Li Zhiyan watched Yu Yunfei, who seemed on the verge of bing violent, actually hoping that Yu Yunfei would take a swing. However, Yu Yunfei, in his forties, clearly didn''t share Huang Mao''s propensity for violence. After picking up a cup and smashing it to the ground... Yu Yunfei left Gu Wanzhou''s home, giving the door a fierce kick on his way out. Seeing the shards of ss on the floor, Gu Wanzhou was so angry that she burst into tears. Sitting on the couch, tears streamed down her face uncontrobly. Li Zhiyan, worried that the ss shards might cut Gu Wanzhou, quietly picked up the broom and swept up all the ss before dumping it into the trash can. The fringes of society, beingrgely ignored and unloved, are often very meticulous at heart. Li Zhiyan was one such person. "Aunt Gu, stop crying." Li Zhiyan sat down next to Gu Wanzhou again and beganforting her. At that moment, Gu Wanzhou gently embraced Li Zhiyan, realizing that in this world, where most interactions are transactional, this child was truly good to her. In the park, faced with a tall, burly man, there had indeed been a real risk to her safety. Yet he had resolutely positioned himself in front of her. "It''s alright, Aunt Gu, don''t cry anymore." Feeling Gu Wanzhou''s heartache, Li Zhiyan wasn''t in the mood to take note of Gu Wanzhou''s 36D. It took a while before Gu Wanzhouposed herself and parted from Li Zhiyan. She also realized that she had lost herposure in front of the child. "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan, Auntie lost herposure." Li Zhiyan could understand Gu Wanzhou; having an ex-husband cause a scene at home could indeed easily bring a woman to tears. Inevitably, their conflict would only grow worse over time. Even if they had Yu Sisi as amon link, the rift could not be mendedpletely. "Aunt Gu, it''s okay, I understand you." "Will you promise me something?" Gu Wanzhou wiped the corner of her eye, looking somewhat pitiful at this moment, devoid of her usual strong-willed demeanor. "What is it? Tell me." "Whenever Uncle Yu needs to have any sort of necessary contact with you." "Can you tell me first? I will go with you," he implored. Gu Wanzhou was taken aback by Li Zhiyan''s request, finding it a bit odd. The boy was making such a request even though she hadn''t agreed to be with him yet. If they ended up together, would he insist on keeping her hidden away at home? "You this boy..." "If you treat me as your son, then I''ll agree to your request." Looking at Gu Wanzhou calming down. Li Zhiyan also let out a sigh of relief. "If you became my mom, why would I care about this..." "Aunt Gu, I want to be your boyfriend, not your son." "Just agree to it, please. He''s too dangerous, and I can''t rest easy!" Looking at Li Zhiyan before her, Gu Wanzhou''s cheeks heated up again. There seemed to be still a bit of Li Zhiyan''s saliva on her leg. "Call me ''mom'' and I''ll agree," she teased. Gu Wanzhou found Li Zhiyan more and more adorable the longer she looked at him. "Mom! You can''t go back on your word!" Gu Wanzhou was momentarily stunned, not expecting Li Zhiyan to call her ''mom'' so crisply and cleanly. He didn''t even think before calling it out? "However, even though I called you ''mom'', it doesn''t mean I agree to be your adopted son." "You said that if I call you once, you would agree to my terms. Now you''ve agreed, you can''t go back on it!" Chapter 65: 059 Aunt Gus Embarrassment [Must Be Fully Committed to Enter] Gu Wanzhou said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, then Auntie promises you." "Thank you, Mom!" Li Zhiyan gently hugged Gu Wanzhou again and called out, "Mom." "You child, you really got addicted to calling me that." "Then, you might as well just let me officially be your godson." "No, Aunt Gu, I just said it casually." "Besides, if I really became your godson, it would be toote for you to regret itter." He had worked hard until now, and his rtionship with Gu Wanzhou was gradually getting better. How could he possibly recognize Gu Wanzhou as his godmother. "Anyway, if Uncle Yu must meet with you or something like that in the future, you have to let me know." The serious look on Li Zhiyan made Gu Wanzhou once again feel the possessiveness of this kid. "All right, my good boy," "Auntie has to go to work at thepany." "You should hurry back home." Li Zhiyan knew that Gu Wanzhou was indeed very busy usually. "Okay, Aunt Gu." "Remember our agreement." "Alright..." A sweet feeling arose in Gu Wanzhou''s heart; this kid really was very jealous. After watching Li Zhiyan leave, Gu Wanzhou slowly went back to her room. She changed into another body-con dress. Just now, she had wiped the sofa with her body-con dress, and she almost gave herself away with the marks. This old habit was truly embarrassing. Xiao Yan was really toofortable when massaging. "My good boy, our rtionship..." Thinking about their increasinglyplicated rtionship, Gu Wanzhou felt a bit lost. Today, he secretly kissed her thigh. But she didn''t feel much rejection in her heart. Did she really see him only as a child? But is that really all it was? ... Walking on the street, Li Zhiyan opened the system. The fifty thousand yuan reward from histest mission had been deposited. "My savings now total 190,000 yuan, only 810,000 away from a million. This summer vacation is just delightful..." When he returned to the inte cafe, The Brotherhood Inte Cafe was still packed, but his and Li Shiyu''sputers were always reserved, never letting others use them. "Brother Yan, you''re here. Where did you go this noon, to sleep with the ss monitor''s mom?" Looking at his increasingly inappropriate best friend, Li Zhiyan grabbed a bottle of c and sat down. "Stop talking nonsense,e on, let''s game." "Brother Yan, I think after school starts, you can focus on the school beauties in the university town. With your talent, getting their mothers... would be a piece of cake." Li Zhiyan: "..." "By the way, have you seen this woman?" "The Sanxing Corporation''s aristocratic Princess Chang, Li Fuzhen, noble and aloof, beautiful and with an aura, 40 years old this year. I think she should fit your taste." "You should go for her, it''s like the ultimate dream of all mature woman fans!" Li Zhiyan nced at Li Fuzhen on theputer webpage and said, "Stop dreaming, let''s y the game." Li Fuzhen was the princess of a financial dynasty from Han Country; with his little inte cafe''s status, he didn''t even have the qualification to know her, so better focus on gaming. But no wonder Li Shiyu could be his best friend. This way of thinking was truly bing more and more outrageous and jumpy. "Fine, we''ll y Dark City, you''ll be opposite me, and I''ll carry you!" The following days went by peaceably. Li Zhiyan''s inte cafe still reliably made a thousand yuan every day, making him quietly thrilled; at this rate, he wished the system would issue more tasks like this one of opening stores. If he could amass ten such inte cafes, wouldn''t that be a clean profit of three million a year? ... The following week passed quietly. Yen Zhengjin, however, had quite an exciting time. He had won some money on an online gambling tform, a total of more than three thousand, which wasn''t a lot for him. But he had won this from an initial charge of a hundred yuan. So much money, the return on investment was truly astonishing, faster than earning through tutoring or teaching sses. Most importantly, he had tried to cash out and the money arrived in his ount very quickly. "y a couple more rounds..." By now, Yen Zhengjin had formed the habit of ying a few rounds on the site whenever he was free. "These unscrupulous tforms have really low tricks," he thought. "At first, they pretend you can cash out, butter they just swallow all my money." "Some people gamble away everything, even their wives. But that kind of thing definitely won''t happen to me." Yen Zhengjin was very confident of that. It wouldn''t happen to him. ... "Brother Yan, school is going to start soon." "What do you think about university life?" Time flew by as the two of them leveled up in Sky City within the inte cafe. Li Shiyu asked out of curiosity. Li Zhiyan, who had already experienced a lifetime of university life, really had no particr thoughts on it. He only remembered that his counselor was a very beautiful woman, but so many years had blurred his memory of her exact appearance. Back then, he would not have been concerned with a forty-year-old mature woman. "Not much," he replied. "In your imagination, university life is like those in Love Apartment, fooling around and falling in love all day without a care in the world." "Calling out to seniors and juniors everywhere." "Participating in various group activities, full of vigor and positivity. But in reality, your university life will consist of eating instant noodles and ying video games four years straight in your dorm." "Going to ss with greasy hair." Li Shiyu was somewhat disappointed. "Brother Yan, from what you''ve said..." "It sounds so real!" "When university starts, if you''re free on Sundays, you have to hang out with me online." MVLEmPyR-your-story-source Li Zhiyan casually agreed. "Sure." He had already started nning his university life. In university, he''d inevitably skip many sses, so he needed tomunicate deeply with his counselor and establish a good rtionship; that way, it would be easier to ask for leave. There was also Su Mengchen¡ªfinally, he would see that girl again. Thinking of her, Li Zhiyan''s feelings were somewhatplicated. At this moment, the system finally released a new task. The reward for this task was high enough to startle Li Zhiyan. A total of one hundred thousand yuan! "New mission released." "Fang Zhiya has opened a noodle stall." "She wants to make money quickly." "But she''s about to face trouble from a debt collectionpany''s people." "Which is causing her business to be very difficult." "Please help her resolve the issue and aid Fang Zhiya in getting a divorce." "Mission reward, one hundred thousand yuan in cash." "President Xu from the private loanpany has now be one of your connections." "Mister Wang from the civil affairs bureau has now be one of your connections." Li Zhiyan was also slightly startled. This task was indeed surprising to him. Helping Aunt Fang get a divorce? Chapter 66: 060 The teachers wife has divorced, dont worry, I will take care of you. Aunt Fang''s husband was imprisoned for job-rted crimes. Li Zhiyan was aware of this. But what he hadn''t expected was that the system would actually have him help Fang Zhiya and her husband divorce. The marriage of middle-aged people was based on many years of affection. This task was indeed difficult, no wonder there was a bonus of one hundred thousand yuan. However, the task had to be done, and once it was finished, his savings would reach 290,000 yuan. Thinking of this, he began to make ns in his heart. It seemed that Aunt Fang''s marriage was bound to end in divorce. If she didn''t divorce, being such a traditional-minded woman, he definitely wouldn''t stand a chance. But if she did divorce, then it would bepletely different. His opportunities would increase significantly, which was the best way to get back at Liu Yaolong. I, Tian Wenjing! At this moment, his mentor''s wife, Jiang Xian, sent Li Zhiyan a message on QQ. Jiang Xian: "Xiao Yan, I feel that your teacher has been acting strangelytely." story-at-MvLeMpYr Li Zhiyan: "What''s wrong, mentor''s wife?" Jiang Xian: "When he has nothing to do, he just stares at theputer, fully engrossed, as if he''s clicking on something." "And sometimes he''s excited, other times he''s scowling." Li Zhiyan: "He might be working on something." Jiang Xian: "I always feel like he''s up to no good." At this moment, Jiang Xian was lying under the air conditioner in the master bedroom, looking at her own pair of snow-white wless legs, feeling very lost. He wasn''t capable of any real mischief... He just engages in some kind of nondescript mischief online. Li Zhiyan: "Don''t worry, mentor''s wife, the teacher is an adult. He must have his reasons for whatever he does." Jiang Xian: "Mm, I hope so. I am really afraid that he''s gotten involved in online gambling or something like that. If that were the case, the mentor''s wife would have no one to rely on in this world." Li Zhiyan: "Mentor''s mother, I am your reliance, haven''t I said that the mentor''s mother is also like a mother to me." "I will support you." Although she knew Li Zhiyan was just joking, Jiang Xian still felt an uncontroble sense of being moved. The child''s heart was truly sincere. Recently, she had been chatting with this kid more and more. Perhaps, in her heart, she had alreadye to think of Li Zhiyan as a son. Li Shiyu, standing beside him, admired him even more, feeling thoroughly impressed. He thought that with Brother Yan, anything was possible. When others talk about the national essence, it''s just cursing and venting. But with Brother Yan, it wasn''t about cursing; he turned the national essence into reality! While chatting with the mentor''s wife, Li Zhiyan also opened the chat window with Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang," "What are you doing?" Li Zhiyan often chatted with Fang Zhiya, but because she typed slowly and was quite busy, their conversations weren''t as long as those with the mentor''s wife. "Xiao Yan, Aunt Fang has opened a noodle stand." "It opened a few days ago. I was worried it wouldn''t go well, so I didn''t tell you, but the business has been fairly good." It wasn''t mealtime yet, so Fang Zhiya was just at home, cooling off with a fan. Waiting for the evening to set up her stand, the stand''s profit had increased from one hundred yuan per day at the start to three hundred yuan a day now, giving Fang Zhiya hope. At least, there was no problem with her son''s tuition and living expenses. Thinking of this, Fang Zhiya felt a sense of relief. Perhaps the days ahead would settle down. And now, she also had Li Zhiyan, the son in her heart. Life didn''t seem so bad after all. Thinking back to when she considered suicide in the park, Fang Zhiya felt somewhat relieved that she hadn''t acted impulsively; otherwise, she would have missed this interesting child. "Aunt Fang, are you at home right now?" ording to the system''s prompt, debt collectors woulde to stir up trouble at the noodle stand in the evening. These local bullies definitely couldn''t be allowed to harm Aunt Fang. After all, Aunt Fang''s pregnancy rights had already been reserved by him. And he nned to repeatedly exert his power, now he had to protect Aunt Fang well. It was always better to arrive on time. "Hmm, Aunt is at home, she''s preparing some ingredients," "We''ll set off when it''s about time." Li Zhiyan, "Then I''lle to you, I miss you." For Li Zhiyan, the phrase "I miss you" was just an ordinary expression of his feelings. But for Fang Zhiya, whose heart was extremely traditional, it meant somethingpletely different. These words made her blush and feel flustered. "Xiao Yan is just a child, that''s why he says he misses me. Don''t think about all sorts of strange things," Fang Zhiya thought to herself. Fang Zhiya, "Thene over here, Auntie will make something for you to eat." Li Zhiyan, "Alright, I''ll set off right now, I love eating what Auntie makes." "Especially the chili sauce Auntie makes, it''s really delicious." Li Zhiyan still fondly remembered Fang Zhiya''s in noodles, they were truly delicious. Li Zhiyan, "It''s just right, I should go now, otherwise, if I don''t see your son for too long, people will find it strange." Fang Zhiya, "Hmm,e quickly." Thinking of Li Zhiyan''s kindness to her in the past... Fang Zhiya couldn''t help feeling very warm inside. This child, he was truly beyond reproach when it came to her. Fang Zhiya could tell that a neighbor who lived not far away was looking at her with greedy eyes. However, he didn''t dare to make any moves, all because Li Zhiyan was pretending to be her son. He was afraid that Li Zhiyan would beat him up. So he didn''t dare to entertain any thoughts. Having a son, it was indeed nice... If only her own son could be like Xiao Yan. "Get ready, make some noodles for Xiao Yan to eat, and bring out the best chili sauce too!" "Treat the child well!" ¡­ After chatting, Li Zhiyan logged off his QQ and got ready to leave. Li Shiyu asked with a curious face, "Brother Yan, which ssmate has offended you now? Are you nning to go take revenge on them again?" In Li Shiyu''s eyes, Brother Yan always got even! Anyone who dared to offend him would have to consider whether their mother was pretty or not. If she wasn''t pretty, there wasn''t much risk, but if she was attractive, then one had to worry about their home being robbed. "Don''t talk nonsense, I''m just going to help Auntie with a favor, there''s nothing else." "Just y your game properly." Li Shiyu was reminded of something. "Brother Yan, just deduct the money I borrowed from you from my sry. School is starting soon, and I always feel ufortable owing money." Li Zhiyan remembered when this guy had sold his car to lend him two hundred thousand. How could he care about a few hundred bucks? "Forget it, you work some night shifts these days, keep an eye on the inte cafe a bit more, and consider your debt paid off." After chatting casually with Li Shiyu for a bit and handing him a bottle of Coke, Li Zhiyan headed straight for the urban vige. When he arrived at the small property house where Fang Zhiya was renting, he too felt the weather was very hot¡­ The heat of the midsummer, the breath of youth was so intense. Just as he was about to go upstairs, a couple walked in front of him. Li Zhiyan realized that the woman was the "domestic violence" Aunt. They were returning at this time, what a coincidence¡­ But subtly, Li Zhiyan felt that something was off. Logically, their domestic violence had happenedte at night. During the day, they should be at work. Chapter 67: 061 The neighbor aunty is also being abused during the day! This woman seemed to be in her forties as well. However, there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She fell far short of the stunning mature beauties Li Zhiyan knew. To Li Zhiyan, this kind of auntie was indeed old , and he had absolutely no interest in her. "Indeed, what I like are beautiful and gorgeous mature women, not old aunties..." With a somewhat strange mood, Li Zhiyan went upstairs. "Mom." "I''m back." As soon as he reached the door, Li Zhiyan called out for his mom. It wasn''t very safe for Aunt Fang to live alone; at the very least, calling out "Mom" a few times would deter others from acting recklessly. This was quite important. "Son," Upon opening the door and seeing Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya felt an instinctive sense of security. This feeling was as if the two of them were not pretending to be mother and son, but were actually mother and son. Closing the door behind him, Li Zhiyan looked around the modest but cozy room. He believed that in this life, it was unlikely that Aunt Fang would walk down the old path of suicide. But Aunt Fang was really beautiful, possessing the gentle charm of the girl next door; even though her wealthy family status was destroyed overnight, resulting in this kind of life, she still had noints. Such a woman was truly wonderful. "Aunt Fang, it''s been a while. I didn''t expect that you would get your noodle stall up and running so soon. Just now, downstairs," story-source-MvLeMpYr "I saw your locked-up stall." Fang Zhiya, seeing it was roughly mealtime, started the pot, preparing to make noodles for Li Zhiyan. "Yes, this stall basically took up all of Auntie''s remaining money, plus the cost of buying raw materials." "But thankfully, business isn''t too bad. From now on, we should be able to live a normal life." Li Zhiyan felt somewhat relieved, but for now, the urgent issues to resolve were the debt collectionpany and helping Aunt Fang with the divorce; these two points were of utmost importance. After all, it concerned his own bonus of one hundred thousand yuan. He really was a man motivated to progress. "That''s good to hear, Aunt Fang. I''m about to start school soon," "So from now on, the only chance I''ll get to see you might be on Sundays when Ie home." The university town wasn''t too far from home and, being a mama''s boy, he would definitelye home on Sundays. Although it was hard to part, life had to move forward. Moreover, Su Mengchen was still out there waiting for him. This insecure and fragile girl, this time, he must protect her well. "Xiao Yan..." Upon hearing that Li Zhiyan was going off to university, Fang Zhiya felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. It was as if she would never be able to see Li Zhiyan again. "Aunt Fang, don''t be sad. I''m just going to university. I promise to visit you every Sunday, and we can chat on QQ every day." Fang Zhiya was deeply moved. This child truly cared about her, And he had helped her so much. "Xiao Yan, you''ve helped Auntie so much, I don''t even know how to repay you." The more one owes favors, the more they umte. Now, Fang Zhiya felt she didn''t know how she could possibly repay Li Zhiyan. Even if she gave Li Zhiyan a lot of money¡­ She would still feel indebted to him, and besides, he wouldn''t ept it. "Aunt Fang," "Let''s not talk about this between us. If I wanted you to repay me, I would tell you." "However, Aunt Fang, making me noodles now would be payback enough." "I love the noodles you make the most." He opened the pot, looking at the boiling clear water. Fang Zhiya dropped her slightly wider noodles into it. "Good." "As long as youe, Auntie will make noodles for you to eat." Li Zhiyan sat beside Fang Zhiya, watching her make noodles and continued, "Aunt Fang, that auntie next door was beaten so badly that night, did she get a divorce?" Fang Zhiya had never expected that the conversation would suddenly turn to this topic. Domestic violence? That wasn''t domestic violence, but rather conceiving a child. But Xiao Yan was just a kid and obviously didn''t understand these things, which is why he thought it was domestic violence. And she couldn''t exin it to Xiao Yan either. Thinking about it, Fang Zhiya''s pretty face started to feel hot. After that night, she had gone to talk to thedy next door. But far from being concerned, the woman said it was natural instinct, and boasted that she put on a live show without charging money¡ªwhat was there to be dissatisfied about? All sorts of crude words made the gentle Fang Zhiya embarrassed and turn to leave. However, there had been no noise from them for this whole week. Not a peep for a good 7 days, it seemed like the domestic violence had stopped. Could it be that they had heeded her words? It seemed thedy next door had a sharp tongue but a soft heart and was very considerate of her feelings. "No, their rtionship is good, and there''s been no domestic violence recently. You''re a little kid, don''t worry about so many things," "It has nothing to do with you." Li Zhiyan nodded. "If it were me, I''d definitely call the police. That auntie was abused too cruelly, and the sounds made it seem like she suffered a lot." As they talked, Fang Zhiya''s face grew redder. "Aunt Fang, why is your face so red?" At that moment, Fang Zhiya looked somewhat flirtatious, stirring Li Zhiyan''s heart. Unfortunately, Aunt Fang''s 36D was all wrapped up. Now it couldn''t be seen... "It''s the steam." "This room is quite hot, it''s always like this in the summer. Xiao Yan, go stand by the fan for a bit, Auntie sees you''re hot too." Li Zhiyan grabbed the fan, plugged it into the power strip, and positioned it towards Fang Zhiya. "No worries, Aunt Fang, I''m young and not afraid of the heat. You use it." The breeze from the fan blew vigorously, and Fang Zhiya felt herself growing fonder of the child before her. If only he were her son... After a while, the noodles were ready. Fang Zhiya scooped them out and mixed them with chili sauce for Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang, I''ve been wanting to eat your noodles for a long time." "Once we''re done eating, I''lle with you to set up the stall." Wiping the sweat from her brow, Fang Zhiya felt some anticipation; this kid wanted to go to the stall with her. It really felt like she was with her own son. Just as Fang Zhiya was about to say something, The familiar noise from next door started up again. At that moment, Fang Zhiya realized that thedy from next door wasn''t all that tough on the outside and soft on the inside. It was probably because rtives had visited, forcing a week''s break. The timing matched exactly! But this time, Xiao Yan was still here! How could a child be exposed to such things... Her face grew hotter by the moment. Li Zhiyan, curious, asked, "The auntie next door is being abused during the day too?" "That''s really terrible." Chapter 68: 062 Fang Zhiya, this child is interested in women now! The sounds of domestic violence from next door were very clear. The auntie being hit didn''t seem to hold back at all. It was as if she didn''t care at all about others hearing her being abused. Fang Zhiya''s face became hotter and hotter. "Aunt Fang, your face is getting redder and redder." "It''s nothing¡ªI''m just hot. Xiao Yan, eat up quickly so we can set up our stall." "Auntie knows you have to get home early." Li Zhiyan also responded. "Hmm¡­" However, his eyes were clearly fixed on the wall, as if he was very curious about the scene of domestic violence. Domestic violence is very bad; Li Zhiyan knew of many people who ended up divorcing and separated from their wives because of it. All of this was because the seeds of violence had nted deep troubles¡ªif only there was no domestic violence in this world. The world would be much better off. Li Zhiyan''s reaction made Fang Zhiya''s face turn even redder. Next door¡ªit was truly inappropriate for them to fight and brawl at this time, exposing a child to such a deep shadow of violence. "Aunt Fang, shall we go over and try to stop them? I think that uncle is too mean, hitting someone with such a rhythm." "No¡­" "Don''t¡­" Fang Zhiya ate her meal, her mind somewhat unclear. "Why not?" "Anyway, domestic violence is bad. Don''t look¡ªlet''s hurry and finish eating so we can go to our stall." Fang Zhiya didn''t want to stay in the rental house for a second longer. At that moment, she just wanted to go out and set up the stall with Li Zhiyan. Her meal felt ufortably restless. A few minutester, she pulled Li Zhiyan and they walked outside. "Xiao Yan, hurry downstairs." "Aunt Fang, I haven''t finished eating yet." "Stop eating, hurry downstairs." With Fang Zhiya''s urging, Li Zhiyan left the house; while Fang Zhiya was locking the door, Li Zhiyan went next door, where the window didn''t even have ayer of newspaper stuck to it. Seeing the seemingly eye-opening Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya quickly locked the door and pulled him downstairs. ... On the street, Fang Zhiya walked somewhat unsteadily. Now she really felt some hatred for the couple next door. They were truly detestable. Exposing a child to domestic violence, what terrible psychological damage it must inflict on the child. "Xiao Yan, help Auntie push the cart." "Sure, Aunt Fang. Just stand beside me; I''ll push it to the spot for you." Li Zhiyan really liked pushing Fang Zhiya''s cart. After all, pushing a cart was also a way to exercise, and Li Zhiyan was eager to improve himself. After watching Fang Zhiya load the homemade hot sauce and noodles into the cart, he pushed it, following her towards the spot where they set up their stall. Because of the hot weather, the heat on Fang Zhiya''s face had not subsided at all. In fact, it felt even hotter. Why did she always encounter such incidents when she was with this kid? It was really strange. She just wanted to be a good elder to him. Perhaps she could even consider him her godson in the future. But now¡­ "Aunt Fang, I think their method of domestic violence is so strange. It seems like I''ve seen something like this in biology ss. Is it¡­" Fang Zhiya said hurriedly, "Don''t learn from them, understand? Stop thinking about this and just stick with Auntie to vend on the streets. When it''s time, head back home, got it?" After Fang Zhiya had spoken like this. Li Zhiyan nodded and pushed the cart with relief. Even after avoiding the topic, Fang Zhiya''s heart continued to race. She worried that Li Zhiyan might go astray, as many good students do after stumbling upon certain websites by chance. They would fall into bad ways, and before long, their studies and everything else werepletely thrown off track. Just from what she knew, a friend''s son had gone from top student to the bottom of the ss in just a few short months. Once a child''s thoughts be corrupted, it''s so easy for them to bepletely ruined... The kid is still young; it''s better to keep him away from those things. "Okay, Aunt Fang, I understand..." Li Zhiyan didn''t continue the conversation with Fang Zhiya. Constantly mentioning it might backfire and arouse her suspicions. Soon, they arrived at the spot for setting up their stall, where other vendors were already selling: sesame-seed cakes and chilled mung bean soup, among other things. "Xiao Yan, let''s set up our stall here." Once Li Zhiyan had parked the cart just right, Fang Zhiya brought out the folding table and stools, ready to start doing business. The sun was setting, and the weather was no longer so hot at this time of day. However, it was clearly not quite time for business yet. It was quite a while before a customer came by. "Bossdy, I''ll have a serving of mixed noodles. I''lle eat in a bit." After saying this, the young man went to buy some mung bean soup elsewhere. As Fang Zhiya cooked, she nced at Li Zhiyan and felt that he seemed somewhat distracted. -exclusive She couldn''t help thinking that the domestic violence they''d witnessed earlier had made a significant impact on the child''s delicate psyche. Why hadn''t she kept hold of the boy, letting him see the scene of domestic violence? What should she do... At the same time, she noticed something off about Li Zhiyan. Oh my, how terrifying, could it be... a monster? After a while, the young man finished his meal, paid, and left. But Li Zhiyan was still clearly looking lost. This made Fang Zhiya worry even more. The kid wasn''t gettingpletely caught up in those earlier images, was he? If that were the case, how could she be at peace with herself? After a while, she approached Li Zhiyan. If she didn''t talk to Li Zhiyan, could that actually be worse? "Xiao Yan..." "Are you lost in wild thoughts?" "Actually, that''s a very normal thing..." Fang Zhiya felt that she should really have a proper chat with Li Zhiyan and give him some guidance. It was important for him to face these issues head-on. If no one leads a child during puberty, it''s very easy for them to stray onto the wrong path. She truly liked the child before her very much. If she let him wander astray by ident, she would feel incredibly guilty inside. "Aunt Fang, what you''re saying... what kind of thing is normal?" Li Zhiyan felt more and more that the identity of a child was really quite useful. He was just 18 this year; in another two years'' time, it wouldn''t be quite suitable anymore. "It''s just, it''s just..." Only then did Fang Zhiya realize that she waspletely unable to speak her mind; she was still too traditional at heart. No, she had to guide the child properly... Thinking this, Fang Zhiya made up her mind to have a serious chat with Li Zhiyan! Chapter 69: 063 Aunt Fang, can you Fang Zhiya knew that this child was a very important person to her! So even though she was embarrassed, she still had to speak up. "It''s exactly what you saw, actually, they were doing it to reproduce offspring." "It''s an instinct..." Fang Zhiya realized that she really wasn''t quite suited for this kind of educational task. Because for some people, these wordse out casually. Like thedy next door, who even said she wouldn''t charge for letting her listen for free. But to discuss puberty with her own child was so difficult for her to articte. "So, they were being violent in order to reproduce, that''s why they fought," Li Zhiyan pressed. Fang Zhiya gently nodded. "Mm..." "Xiao Yan, they were just having children, but having children is something that, well, you have to wait until you''re grown up to do." "You''re not allowed to think about these things right now, understand?" Li Zhiyan sat down; at this moment, he felt a bit unsteady. To stand, he had to bend at the waist. He had never dreamed that Aunt Fang, traditional enough to daily cinch her 36D to avoid gossip, would actually talk to him about sex. She must have been really resolved to prevent him from going astray, because Li Zhiyan knew how traditional Fang Zhiya was. It seemed that Aunt Fang really did care a great deal about him. Sure, after all, he had been there for her in the most desperate time of her life, pulling her through. Otherwise, her circumstances right now would be unknown. "Aunt Fang, I''ve grown up too." Fang Zhiya''s face grew redder. "Xiao Yan, Auntie knows you''ve grown up, but you''re only 18 years old, and college is about to start." "You need to focus your attention on studying." "That way, you can get a good job after you graduate." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya felt that this advice didn''t quite apply to Li Zhiyan, who at 18 already owned his own sessful inte cafe. He didn''t need to worry about finding a job at all. "Aunt Fang, I also want to do such things." "I''m an adult too¡­" Listening to Li Zhiyan''s words, Fang Zhiya''s face got hotter and hotter, clearly, Pandora''s box had been opened. Obviously, the boy had been enticed. What should she do now... Fang Zhiya wanted to advise Li Zhiyan, but her own face was getting hotter. "Well, Xiao Yan, you have to find a girlfriend first." "Once you have a girlfriend, you can do that kind of stuff." "But, you must take responsibility for the girl." Fang Zhiya continued trying to educate Li Zhiyan, but her voice was bing less and less clear. "I don''t want to find a girlfriend yet..." Fang Zhiya was already struggling to hear what Li Zhiyan said. Li Zhiyan could not help but feel amused as he watched Aunt Fang attempting to lecture him and instead bing embarrassingly shy. Aunt Fang was really funny, but this also demonstrated the extent of her traditional heart. To change her, it could only start after her divorce. But Aunt Fang was really adorable! As Fang Zhiya''s face grew redder and redder, a few girls who came for noodles broke the awkward silence. "Auntie, two servings of mixed noodles." "Boss, two servings of chilled mung bean soup, extra ice please!" Fang Zhiya hurried off to work; she truly felt that she was not suitable for this type of education. She had wanted to have a proper talk about sex with the kids as an elder. The child didn''t carry the conversation well and ended up feeling extremely shy. As time went on, more customers gradually started toe in. All these diners were unforgettable fans of the noodles mixed by Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, let me help you." "Ah, good..." Li Zhiyan also started to get busy, and Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but fantasize. If only Li Zhiyan were her son, how wonderful that would be... What a happy thought that was. After a few hours of busyness, there were gradually fewer people. Fang Zhiya went next door to get two bowls of chilled mung bean soup and brought them over to Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, you must be overheated..." "Here, have a cup of chilled mung bean soup." The sweet and icy smoothness of the soup delighted Li Zhiyan, a feeling that could rival an iced c. "Aunt Fang, I don''t want to get a girlfriend, but I''m really curious about that kind of thing, what should I do?" Li Zhiyan continued the conversation about the topic they were discussing earlier. Although Fang Zhiya felt shy, she didn''t want the child to go astray; she had never seen a kid she liked so much in all these years. "That''s not okay..." "Although... although we must face those things properly." "However, Xiao Yan, you must develop a correct view of love." It was Liu Yaolong who had taken care of the education on puberty matters, after all, the issues of male and female were different, and it was somewhat inappropriate for a mother to address these things. experience-NovelFire Now, as she tried to educate Li Zhiyan, she realized just how inconvenient it was. Even though he was a child, he was still a man, and even though she was 41 years old, he could still make her pregnant. "The things between men and women, like hugging, or holding hands, and some other things..." She wanted to say kissing, but no matter what, she couldn''t bring herself to say it. The traditional part of her always considered these words as dangerous as floods and savage beasts. "Anyway, those things must only be done when you have established a boyfriend-girlfriend rtionship, and you have to be responsible for the other person." "Do you understand that, Xiao Yan?" "Oh..." Li Zhiyan nodded thoughtfully, seeming to have taken it in. "Aunt Fang, I will remember everything you''ve taught me." Seeing the obedient nature of the child in front of her, Fang Zhiya felt very reassured; this was truly an obedient kid, who listened to whatever she said. "Aunt Fang, can you fulfill a wish for me?" Li Zhiyan looked at Fang Zhiya''s jade-like hands, feeling somewhat uneasy at this moment. Aunt Fang wouldn''t get angry, right? Anyway, he would watch the situation and stop at an appropriate point. "Go ahead." Fang Zhiya had always wondered how she could repay Li Zhiyan for his kindness towards her, and now that Li Zhiyan had spoken up, naturally, she wanted to do her best to fulfill his wish. "Aunt Fang, I''ve never held a girl''s hand before, could you let me hold your hand?" Fang Zhiya fell silent, not expecting the child to want to hold her hand. This isn''t appropriate, is it... "Aunt Fang." Li Zhiyan''s eyes seemed to plead with Fang Zhiya as he looked at her. This made Fang Zhiya''s heart gradually soften. The boy hadn''t even been in a rtionship yet; it sounded rather pitiable. But the principle of men and women not touching each other must be upheld, especially after he had witnessed that domestic violence today; he wouldn''t start having wild thoughts, would he... Chapter 70: Serious question, adolescent sex education! Fang Zhiya had many thoughts in her heart. Men and women aren''t supposed to have such contact... "This isn''t so good, Xiao Yan..." "It''s not appropriate for your auntie and you to hold hands like this; you need to find your own girlfriend to hold hands with in the future." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya began to worry. Li Zhiyan wouldn''t, driven by his curiosity about the opposite sex, do some really bizarre things, would he? And if he ended up on the path of crime because of this, would that not make her sin greater? "I understand, Aunt Fang..." "I shouldn''t have made such a request. I was just very curious about women''s bodies, which is why I wanted to hold your hand." The understanding look on Li Zhiyan''s face made Fang Zhiya feel even more uneasy. Sitting there, drinking her mung bean soup, the icy sweetness didn''t seem so sweet anymore. After a while, Fang Zhiya gathered her courage and said, "Xiao Yan, then let auntie let you touch her hand." "But you must remember, auntie is only letting you do this because you have never held a girl''s hand before." "Once you know what it feels like to hold a woman''s hand, don''t let your imagination run wild and definitely don''t think about doing any criminal activities, understand?" Originally, Li Zhiyan had given up. After all, it was too difficult to even think of touching the hand of such a traditionally minded woman. Unexpectedly, Aunt Fang had given him an unexpected surprise. "Aunt Fang." "Now I''m going to hold your hand." Li Zhiyan pulled up a stool and sat down in front of Fang Zhiya. In that moment, Fang Zhiya felt her face getting hot again. Good heavens, was Li Zhiyan going to hold her hand, as a man? She had forgotten how many times her face had flushed today. Her body tensed up, Fang Zhiya braced herself to stop from bing a soft mess due to her sensitivity. Li Zhiyan looked at Aunt Fang''s delicate hand and gently grasped it. The soft and smooth sensation made him slightly bow his head. Aunt Fang must be tired too; it would be good to give her a massage. Li Zhiyan engaged his massage skills while feeling the softness of Aunt Fang''s hand. He found it somewhat hard to stop. But did he really look like someone capable ofmitting a crime? The reason Aunt Fang allowed him to touch her hand was actually for fear he wouldmit a crime. "Aunt Fang, this is a woman''s hand, isn''t it? So soft, sofortable. I wish I could touch it every day." "Auntie... Auntie just..." "Just wanted to let you feel what it''s like to touch a woman''s hand, to educate you during your adolescent phase." "Don''t think too much about it, understand?" Closing her eyes, Fang Zhiya managed to stay standing. At that moment, she realized... Her hand actually felt veryfortable, and the slight pain from overworking her hands had also eased quite a bit. It was just asfortable as when he had massaged her anklest time. "Xiao Yan, your traditional Chinese massage skills are amazing." "Aunt Fang, if there''s any part of you that feels ufortable, you can alwayse to me for a massage." "I can definitely relieve your pain." Fang Zhiya felt some back pain; standing for too long these past days at the stall had taken its toll. But now, in her heart, she couldn''t really think of Li Zhiyan as a boy anymore. So, the idea of getting a massage on her lower back was dropped... "Xiao Yan, have you touched enough?" "It''s almost enough." Li Zhiyan naturally didn''t want to let go at this moment. "Aunt Fang, I''ve never touched a woman''s hand in my life, and this little bit of time hasn''t been enough for me to really feel it." ``` "Can you let me feel it properly just once more?" Li Zhiyan continued to massage Fang Zhiya''s delicate hand, unwilling to let go. "Okay..." "Xiao Yan, then just a little longer... but don''t overdo it, someone wille soon." Fang Zhiya''s heartbeat was also speeding up. What am I doing? To educate a boy about gender knowledge, I let him touch my hand. This pair of hands, he has touched every angle without missing a spot. So embarrassing... But as long as he doesn''tmit any illegal and criminal activities, it''s fine. A touch of my hand to satisfy his curiosity is better than secretly touching others out of curiosity, right? "Aunt Fang, can you touch my face?" "I''ve never experienced what it feels like to have my face touched by a woman." "So I hope you can touch my face." Before Fang Zhiya could even think, her delicate hand was pulled by Li Zhiyan and ced on his face. NovelFire-unofficial-chapter Li Zhiyan felt that Aunt Fang''s hand was much warmer than his face. When it touched his face... there was a warm and delicate sensation. It made him want to fall asleep in Aunt Fang''s arms. If that were to happen, it would definitely be blissful... "Aunt Fang, your hand really feelsfortable." Fang Zhiya guiltily discovered that she actually liked this sensation a bit! Coud it be that deep down I''m such a shameless woman? Why would I have such weird thoughts? Really shameless, I must reflect on this tonight. Not until guests were approaching from a distance did Fang Zhiya let go of Li Zhiyan''s hand with some panic. "Okay, Xiao Yan, that''s enough, don''t think too much..." "And, you must not tell anyone about this, understand?" Feeling Fang Zhiya''s conservatism and shyness, Li Zhiyan nodded his head. He sat down, bent over, waiting to return to normal. But obviously, it was toote to regain hisposure at this time. The guests arriving this time were obviously not easy to deal with. "Mrs. Liu, who would''ve thought, you''re running a stall here, and business isn''t bad." "Your husband owes us a million, it''s time to pay it back!" Li Zhiyan was not surprised that these people could find Fang Zhiya. Aunt Fang hadn''t left the province, she was still in Wancheng, and these debt collectors were local snakes. They knew the local situation like the back of their hand. It was normal for them to find Aunt Fang. "Mrs. Liu, you don''t want your husband to be beaten every day in prison, do you?" "One million, pay back now!" Hearing this, Li Zhiyan was instantly enraged. The thing he hated most in his life was such talk, as if he were the protagonist of a Korean webtoon. Only someone mentally impaired would want to wear a cuckold''s hat. Clenching his fists, he felt he couldn''t control his violent tendencies any longer; today was a good day for some exercise! Three people, under the system''s skills, would not stand a chance against him even if they had knives. After all, his ability allowed him to fight five at once, and his reactions were on an entirely different level than these thugs. He stood up imposingly, and the thugs got a shock at Li Zhiyan''s ferocity. They all flinched, thinking, how can this man be so fierce! An involuntary feeling of inferiority surged in their hearts. ``` Chapter 71: 065 Li Zhiyan is even better than a son! Li Zhiyan was indeed very formidable at that moment. After all, the strength of a 20-year-old was nothing to scoff at. Anyone who saw him would feel inferior. Fang Zhiya also noticed this scene¡­ This kid really had an early disy of greatness, but at the moment, her heart, filled with fear, had no mood to think of anything else. Fang Zhiya was aware of debt collectors'' reputation. Tactics like using a slingshot to break ss, sshing red paint, and intimidation were all things she had experienced before. Back then, she had been living in constant trepidation. After moving, she thought she could start a peaceful life over again, but it was then that Fang Zhiya realized that a happy and stable life seemed to be just a na?ve and lovely fantasy of hers. Now, these people from the debt collectionpany had appeared before her again. "I really don''t have any money..." "Please give me some more time." The three debt collectors had yet to recover from their inferiorityplex. This kid was frighteningly tough! However, getting money was still the most important thing, as they would only receive amission if they collected dues within the credit term. If they couldn''t collect the money after some time, it would be handed over to the next batch of collectors, so they had no intention of giving Fang Zhiya any leeway to slowly figure things out. "Auntie, you''ve still got your charms. You keep mepany, just the two of us sleep together for one night, and I''ll give you three days'' grace, give you time to get the money. Isn''t that fair?" Fang Zhiya backpedaled repeatedly. "Impossible, if you keep this up, I''m calling the police!" Clearly, Fang Zhiya''s words did not scare the tall and thin guy who was leading the group. He directly picked up a folding stool and smashed it onto the ground with force. The stic stool instantly shattered into pieces. Customers who had just thought ofing in to eat were scared away as well. In this era, people instinctively feared such thugs, as short videos were not yet widely spread and the inte''stency was quite significant. "Xiao Yan, run!" Fang Zhiya, sensing trouble, urged Li Zhiyan to run. She resigned herself to being beaten if need be, ready to fight with a pot of hot soup in her hands. She had to protect the child at all costs! With the pot of hot soup in hand, Fang Zhiya screamed hysterically, "Stay away from me!" In her heart, traditionally to the extreme¡­ How could she possibly ept the unreasonable demand of a thug. Even if it meant her death, she would never do such a thing! Li Zhiyan''s heart was overwhelmed with emotion. Auntie was truly far better than a young girl, at least in times of real trouble. They would stand in front of him just like they were protecting their own child. Seeing Fang Zhiya holding up a pot of boiling hot soup, the three thugs got a bit cowardly¡­ They were collectors, but if they got disfigured because of it, it wouldn''t be worth it. But this couldn''t scare them off, they were convinced that the woman wouldn''t dare to ssh the hot soup since intentional injury was a crime that could put her in jail. "Then ssh it." The three men kept pressing in, but they were also prepared to dodge at the same time. Li Zhiyan could tell, Aunt Fang was really ready to risk it all, that 1.6-meter frame, the delicate-looking Aunt Fang pushed to the brink of desperation. It made Li Zhiyan''s heart ache uncontrobly. Aunt Fang''s suicide in a previous life showed she was indeed capable of risking her own life. These beasts! "Three bastards." "Imnm." Li Zhiyan blurted out a national essence, drawing the fire upon himself; he could no longer restrain his impulse to fight. Against such scumbags, he would definitely not hold back! As expected! When the three thugs saw Li Zhiyan cussing, they all walked towards him. They were already jealous of Li Zhiyan''s toughness. Now was a good time to give him a ruthless beating. And it seemed that the kid had a close rtionship with the woman, probably her son or nephew or something. If they beat him up, the woman would surely be forced toe up with the money. Perhaps even the thought of sleeping with her coulde true¡ª this woman was so beautiful, to die for... "Go to hell!" A hoodlum on the left charged towards Li Zhiyan. He intended to hit Li Zhiyan with a flying kick; experienced in brawling, he knew such a move would surely knock this average-height kid to the ground. "Xiao Yan!" Fang Zhiya waspletely panicked, but because they were very close to each other, she hesitated to intervene, not daring to act recklessly. Her heart was touched yet fearful at the same time; this kid was truly trying to protect her as if she were his mother. But these were three hoodlums who frequently fought; how could a kid like him stand a chance? Putting the noodle soup back on the stove, she grabbed the knife used for cutting noodles, ready to fight to the death. At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s status in Fang Zhiya''s heart rose yet another level. Li Zhiyan was like her own son. Even better to her than her biological son. She would not allow anyone to bully him! No one! Although she was just a woman with limited strength, she too would fight with all her might. But what happened next left Fang Zhiya utterly dumbfounded... Because she saw the hoodlum who appeared much tougher than Li Zhiyan being kicked away by him, lying on the ground with a face full of pain. Next, he was like a dragon emerging from the sea. He knocked down another hoodlum on the right with a single punch. The skinny and tall hoodlum in the middle started to back down, hurriedly trying to pull out the knife he''d been toying with from his pocket. But Li Zhiyan was too fast to give him the chance. Before his hand could reach his pocket, Li Zhiyan had already grasped his wrist. "You little..." Before he could finish his insult, he heard a snapping sound. Severe pain spread, turning hisplexion deathly pale! This kid must be trained in Sanda, and he had participated in those kinds ofpetitions! Today, they had juste out to collect a debt, how did they run into such a tough nut! This was serious trouble! It seemed that the supposedly fierce people were just as fierce in a fight. The next second, Li Zhiyannded a punch in his belly. In the blink of an eye, the three hoodlums were taken down by Li Zhiyan, lying there and wailing continuously. Fang Zhiya could never have imagined... These three fierce-looking young men from the streets couldn''t even win against a kid like Li Zhiyan, all three of them losing to just one. How could Xiao Yan fight so well! Gradually sitting up, the leading hoodlum''s eyes were filled with fury; he couldn''t let this go unless he broke the kid''s arm today. To be beaten by a kid, it would sound terrible once the word got out. The people from those debt collectionpanies were local tyrants, capable of anything, and it wouldn''t surprise Li Zhiyan. These three men would surely find ways to take revenge on Aunt Fang in the future, her business might notst. He had to resolve the issue from its root. This was when the strength of the system came into y; with every task, the system always provided an appropriate n. Afterward, he began to make a phone call. Seeing Li Zhiyan making a call, seemingly to call for backup, the leader of the hoodlums sensed something was amiss. Anyone who had trained Sanda to such an extent definitely had some shady connections. The people he knew were definitely not simple. "Hello, President Xu." Over the phone, the voice of Xu Gensheng came through. "Brother Li, long time no see." "What''s the matter." Sitting there, the heart of the leading hoodlum sankpletely. It was over... He had truly provoked someone he couldn''t afford to mess with. Given Xu Gensheng''s methods, it wouldn''t be surprising if he broke his fingers. Chapter 73: 067 To alleviate Aunt Fangs pain Li Zhiyan really hadn''t expected it, the couple was preparing for domestic violence again. That kind of thing is certainly not encouraged... However, Li Zhiyan wasn''t interested in their warm-up, just looking at the distant scenery. 10 years, this area had no tall buildings as neighbors, quite a sense of detachment from the era. Inside the room, Fang Zhiya was boiling water to wipe down her body. All sorts of curves were wiped clean. From time to time, she even wanted to check for any smell, but actually, her body gave off a very nice scent. Worrying was totally unnecessary. "Xiao Yan is going to help me massage my back..." "Isn''t this kind of contact somewhat too much?" Just the thought alone made Fang Zhiya feel her face get a bit hot, really embarrassing... After wiping her body clean, Fang Zhiya quickly washed her hair too. Fearing that Li Zhiyan might catch a whiff of sweat. Ten minutester, she chose a set of pajamas, and with her hair simply dried and damp, she opened the door. "Xiao Yan,e in." The petite Fang Zhiya''s 36D made Li Zhiyan''s eyes linger. Aunt Fang really is beautiful. "Xiao Yan, you should take a shower too." "Auntie sees you''ve also sweated a lot." Li Zhiyan was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, but his upper garment was also stained with many sweat marks. "Auntie, you go out first, and I''ll just wipe down here." Li Zhiyan grew all the more aware of why there were so many fantasies in the rental room. In such a cramped environment, dim lighting, and in the presence of the mature woman''s fair skin, how could one''s hormones not explode rapidly? "It''s fine, Aunt Fang, it''s not convenient for you to go out, I''ll just wipe down a bit." Fang Zhiya nced at her uncovered bust and abandoned the idea of going out. It really was inappropriate to leave at such a time... Men taking baths are much more convenient than women. Li Zhiyan straight up took off his shirt, picked up the towel Fang Zhiya just used, and started wiping himself down. Watching this scene, Fang Zhiya quickly turned away. And Li Zhiyan took the opportunity to finish wiping off all the sweat from his body. "Aunt Fang, lie down on the bed, and I''ll help you with your back." Fang Zhiya nodded and slowlyy down on the bed. At this moment, her heart was filled with an extreme sense of shyness. "Xiao Yan, be gentle..." Li Zhiyan nodded and sat bare-chested on Fang Zhiya''s thighs. After sitting on Aunt Fang''s thighs, a soft and delicate sensation was conveyed to him. Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but close his eyes, that feeling, truly unmatched... "Aunt Fang, I''m going to start massaging your back now." "I need to lift up your shirt just a little bit." With that said, Li Zhiyan gently grabbed the top of Fang Zhiya''s shirt, slightly pulling it up. To activate the massage technique, you can''t do it through clothes. Like when he massaged Gu Wanzhou previously, Li Zhiyan would also ask her to unbutton the first button. With a heart set on medical exploration, Li Zhiyan was very serious. Fang Zhiya''s body hadpletely rxed at that moment... Her shirt being lifted by this kid... Afterward, Li Zhiyan gently ced his hands on her pants. At that moment, Fang Zhiya felt as if she was electrified. My god, what is he trying to do... But fortunately, Li Zhiyan only pulled up a bit, revealing Fang Zhiya''s waist, and then started the massage. Honoring the elderly, Li Zhiyan was very serious! "Aunt Fang, your waist is really slim." "So white and thin, it looks really good." Being praised like this by an 18-year-old child she considered her own, Fang Zhiya actually didn''t know what to say. She just felt her face getting hotter and hotter. His massage technique was reallyfortable. At that moment, the sound of domestic violence from next door also started up. Fang Zhiya hadn''t expected that the neighbors would be fighting at this time. How could theypletely disregard any timing? At this time, Xiao Yan was massaging her while straddling her legs. The sound of the domestic violence kept entering her ears, and Fang Zhiya wanted desperately to cut off her own perception. But that was an utterly impossible task. In such a tranquil environment, it was a bit too embarrassing. Afterward, Fang Zhiya felt the terrifying aspect of Li Zhiyan. Good heavens, this child... "Aunt Fang, I also want to do that." Although Fang Zhiya''s face was already burning and she could hardly make out the words, she couldn''t help but say, "Xiao Yan, did you forget what Auntie told you? Wait until you find a girlfriend." "Hmm..." As Li Zhiyan massaged her, Fang Zhiya also let out a sound offort. Li Zhiyan''s traditional Chinese massage was a systematic skill that indeed made it easy for one to linger over and forget to leave. Sitting on Fang Zhiya''s beautiful legs, he kept kneading her waist. After more than half an hour... Li Zhiyan finished this massage session. "Aunt Fang, does your waist still hurt?" "No... it doesn''t hurt anymore..." reading here on mv _l _e _mpy _r Fang Zhiya''s voice was barely audible. "Then I should get going, or my mom will start to worry." "Let''s meet again tomorrow." After Li Zhiyan left, Fang Zhiya picked up a towel. She wiped the bamboo mat on the bed. It needed to be cleaned up properly. What she had felt just now was so vivid and frightening... This kid was truly exceptional, not someone the average person couldpare with. Her own husband, inparison, could only be described as worthless. Next door, the couple who had finished their bout of domestic violence fell into silence¡ªit was unbelievable to hear such sounds next door. They were... this world is just too crazy, anything can happen nowadays! But when you think about it, the world is so big there are no wonders one will not see. ... When he got home and greeted his mother, Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he dreamt of Auntie Rao feeding him. And she was very serious about teaching him, the correct steps to be fed, how he should eat from the front and the side to properly consume his food. Waking up the next day, he felt his vital energy brimming. "You just can''t withstand it when you''re young..." He felt he had to win over an auntie soon, otherwise, with his hormones so vigorous at 18, always being forced to hide them was a significant problem. "Who should it be..." Li Zhiyan felt that both Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun were somewhat out of reach. On the contrary, it seemed possible with Aunt Fang. If he could let Aunt Fang feed him every day, in her rental room. Completing his adolescent fantasies well wouldn''t be bad. "I''d better help Aunt Fang get divorced first. I have to get that reward of one hundred thousand yuan in hand." Chapter 73: 067 To alleviate Aunt Fangs pain Li Zhiyan really hadn''t expected it, the couple was preparing for domestic violence again. That kind of thing is certainly not encouraged...

Chapter 74: 068 Fang Zhiya got divorced, uncle I will take good care of Aunt Fang Just after eight in the morning, Li Zhiyan finished his meal and arrived at Fang Zhiya''s home. The couple next door looked at Li Zhiyan with eyes that were somewhat off. However, he paid no attention to those weirdos who seemed on the verge of domestic violence at any moment. "Mom, I''m back." After calling out for Fang Zhiya, the door soon opened. Once Fang Zhiya had let Li Zhiyan in, she couldn''t help but think about what happenedst night. When Li Zhiyan sat on herp, it was fine at first, but then his weight settled onto her. It was instinctive, and she couldn''t really say anything about it. "Xiao Yan, your uncle is in prison now, it won''t be so easy for him to get divorced, right? He needs to be released and go to the civil affairs office to handle it." Fang Zhiya had also decided to divorce first; otherwise, she would never have peace in the future. The debt collectors would likely never stop. And she owed it to Xiao Yan''s efforts; after all, she could remarry her husband once he was released from prison. "It''s no problem, Aunt Fang, I have some connections at the civil affairs office. I''ll have someone call the prison to help us handle it. Let''s set off now." Thinking of Aunt Fang getting a divorce, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat eager inside. "Okay, Auntie will listen to you¡­" ¡­ After the two visited the prison, staff from the civil affairs office had already arrived. "Mister Li." Both employees greeted Li Zhiyan, which made Fang Zhiya feel extremely surprised. This kid seemed really extraordinary. m vl emp yr exclusive At 18, he had such aplexwork, and she had heard before that his family was very poor. Clearly, everything he had achieved was through his own efforts. It wasn''t long before Li Zhiyan met Fang Zhiya''s husband, Liu Jiannan. He looked very down and out now,pletelycking the air of wealth he once had. "Wife, why are you here?" "I am here to divorce you." Liu Jiannan frozepletely for a moment. He never expected that his wife would want to divorce him, as she had always been gentle and virtuous, remaining faithful to him, and he loved her deeply. Even though he was in jail, it never crossed his mind that she would divorce him. What happened today, and who was that kid by her side? "Why would you divorce me, Fang Zhiya, what''s gotten into you!" "Who is this kid!" Sitting across from him, Liu Jiannan was struggling to control his emotions at that moment. Could it be that his wife had fallen for this boy? And now she wanted to divorce him topletely cut him loose? Thinking this, he felt almost on the verge of copse. "It''s like this..." "Those debts you owe, the debt collection agency guys, theye to our house every day to take things away." "That night, the court sealed our house." "I ended up in the park and, by chance, was rescued by your son''s ssmate, Li Zhiyan." Upon hearing the name Li Zhiyan, Liu Jiannan couldn''t help feeling it was familiar. Right, wasn''t this the same Li Zhiyan whom he had egged his son on to suppress, to curry favor with the ss teacher? He and his son had fought, bloodied and bruised. They should be enemies, so why would he help his wife! This was indeed strange. "So, you really should thank Xiao Yan." Liu Jiannan said gratefully, "Young man, thank you for saving your aunt." Looking across at his wife''s graceful figure. Thinking about her sensitive nature. At that moment, Liu Jiannan''s heart was not at ease, yet here he was in prison, and it was already quite good that he was allowed visitors. "A few days ago, I set up a noodle stall." "Those debt collectors showed up again, and if it wasn''t for Xiao Yan, I can''t imagine what would have happened." "Xiao Yan knows that Xu Gensheng." "He said, as long as we get a divorce, no one wille to collect debts from me again." "Husband¡­" "Just agree to the divorce. If we don''t, I won''t be able to run my stall, and I won''t be able to scrape together our son''s tuition and living expenses." "Today, Xiao Yan invited someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau over. If you sign, we can get divorced." "Besides, the divorce is only temporary, I will always be your wife alone." "After you get out of prison, we can remarry and continue being together." Thinking about that life, Fang Zhiya''s heart couldn''t help but feel an uncontroble sense of despair¡­ Liu Jiannan bowed his head and fiercely pounded the table, ming himself. If he hadn''t been so useless, how could his wife have suffered such indignities? "Alright, I''ll get a divorce¡­" He knew that not divorcing would only hurt his son. And his wife''s words were absolutely trustworthy. For a woman as traditional as his wife, it was unrealistic to expect her to remarry. "I''m sorry..." "Wife, it''s all my fault. Once I get out of prison, I will definitely make it up to you and our son." After signing the divorce agreement. Liu Jiannan felt a vague sense of foreboding, as if something extremely important had permanently left him. "Li Zhiyan, uncle thanks you." "Despite how my son treated you before, you didn''t hold a grudge and repaid evil with kindness." "Uncle is truly moved..." Li Zhiyan certainly didn''t believe Liu Jiannan''s words. A person convicted of official crimes couldn''t be good. He only wanted to ensure that his wife was taken care of. Now that they were divorced, he would definitely make sure to take Aunt Fang to the hotel and take very good care of her. "So, when you''re outside, please take good care of your Aunt Fang, and uncle will be very grateful." Liu Jiannan also realized that Li Zhiyan was clearly not just a simple kid or else he wouldn''t be able to make Xu Gensheng give him such respect, let alone get someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau toe over. If his wife clung to him, then she wouldn''t have to fear being bullied before he got out of prison. The most important thing was that he was just an 18-year-old kid, and his wife was already 41 years old. There was a full 23 years of age difference between them. Having him look after his wife, he felt reassured. "Don''t worry, uncle. I will definitely take very good care of Aunt Fang," promised Li Zhiyan¡­ ... After Fang Zhiya and Li Zhiyan left the prison. Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but feel as if she was in a different world. She had been married to her husband for so many years, nning to grow old with him, and now they were divorced. "Xiao Yan..." Seeing Fang Zhiya, who looked unwell and was calling his name. Li Zhiyan quicklyforted, "Aunt Fang, this is for the sake of living; don''t think too much about it." After a long while, Fang Zhiya hummed in acknowledgment... At this moment, the system''s reward of one hundred thousand yuan also arrived in the ount. "Missionpleted, received a cash reward of one hundred thousand yuan." "New mission released due to vanity, Liu Yaolong pretends not to be bankrupt in front of Wang Xinyue and borrows ten thousand yuan from ssmates to show off." "This afternoon, he wille to your inte caf¨¦." "Tonight, he will call Fang Zhiya for money, and after reaching his wits'' end, in three days, Fang Zhiya wille to you to borrow ten thousand yuan." "Please lend Fang Zhiya ten thousand yuan and have her offer to show you her leg willingly." "Mission reward: cash, thirty thousand yuan." At this moment, Li Zhiyan''s bank ount already had a total of two hundred ny thousand yuan in cash. Li Zhiyan didn''t expect the ss monitor would be sending mom over again... However, getting Aunt Fang to willingly show him her leg seemed a bit troublesome! Aunt Fang''s traditional values really were a big obstacle. Chapter 75: 069 Thoughts of Li Zhiyan Amidst Despair Aunt Fang''s heart is too traditional, it''s nearly ipossible for her to willingly show off her beautiful legs to me. So at this moment, Li Zhiyan also couldn''t help but feel a bit of a headache. But this task is definitely something I must do; since the monitor wants to present his mother to me, I have no reason not to satisfy him. "Aunt Fang, let me take you home," "After your mood improves, then you can go back to your stall." "Hmm..." ... At noon, after arriving at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Li Zhiyan ordered a fried rice and chilled cbo. "Brother Yan, the start of school is really getting closer, huh?" Next to him, Li Shiyu seemed particrly sentimental, unable to contain his own longing for college life. "Yeah, but actually there''s not much difference, for you it''s still gaming everywhere." "Brother Yan." "How''s your revenge n going? How far have you progressed with Teacher''s Wife, did you get to push the cart?" Li Zhiyan: "..." "Wait until another day, I''ll introduce you to someone, her name is Li Meifeng." Li Shiyu was somewhat puzzled. He then urged Li Zhiyan to log in, and the two yed until after three in the afternoon. As expected, Li Zhiyan heard the voice of ss monitor Liu Yaolong. "My dad is out of prison now, the past was all a misunderstanding, everyone be assured, I''m covering all the inte fees and tonight''s karaoke cost." "Monitor!" Li Shiyu''s voice was clearly surprised. "Wasn''t the Monitor''s dad already locked up? Howe he has money to show off again? The world really changes fast, how did the Monitor''s family rise again so quickly?" "That, only you would believe." Li Zhiyan felt that his best buddy was still too naive. Following that, Wang Xinyue''s voice also rang out. "This Brotherhood Inte Cafe has be really poprtely, my friends all say it''s a good cafe." "They say theputers here are really fast for gaming." As soon as the words fell, Wang Xinyue saw Li Shiyu, who was very seriously dressed, standing up. She couldn''t help but ask curiously, "Li Shiyu, what are you doing at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe?" Not long ago, Wang Xinyue suddenly realized that her loyalpdog Li Shiyu was ignoring her. Before, he couldn''t wait to chat with her every day, but now, even if she initiated a conversation, he wouldn''t pay her any attention. It seemed like something she didn''t know about had happened, and at this moment, seeing Li Shiyu made her a bit angry. You were licking so diligently, why stop now! Such a goodpdog was hard to find. "Li Shiyu, what are you doing here?" Li Shiyu touched the manager''s badge on his chest. Internally, he felt secretly thrilled; being a manager was a status symbol after all. "Because I''m the manager of the Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Wang Xinyue asked with curiosity, "Li Shiyu, do you know what happened to the Brotherhood Inte Cafe?" "I remember this cafe used to do poor business, I only came once and never returned." Li Shiyu patted Li Zhiyan, who was next to him. "Because Brother Yan bought this cafe and upgraded it, he also did some marketing." Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyue and the monitor''s ssmates all fell silent, Li Zhiyan owned his own inte cafe at only 18! Wang Xinyue felt her heart race even faster, surely if Yu Sisi knew about this, she wouldn''t be able to resist feeling regretful. Too bad, she tried to contact Li Zhiyan, but it seemed he wasn''t too interested in her. However, looking at the current situation, I should put in more effort. If I could be with Li Zhiyan, I really wouldn''t have to worry about my college life. Although Liu Yaolong''s family has money now, they are obviously not on the same level as Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan greeted a few people. He nced at Liu Yaolong, who was wearing sunsses. The guy was indeed unting his wealth again. He knew very well that such vanity is a bottomless pit. His vanity would constantly drag him towards an abyss. And all of this could only be repaid by his mother''s beautiful legs. At this thought, Li Zhiyan also felt somewhat emotional. ... That evening, having shown off at the KTV, Liu Yaolong felt very satisfied. ssmates and friends all called him Young Master Liu. This title made him reluctant to return to reality, and Wang Xinyue talked a lot with him, which made him feel that with a bit more effort, he could definitely get Wang Xinyue wrapped around his finger... Walking on the street, feeling his significantly thinner wallet, he thought that his money might not be enough for his spending. "Right, I''ll call mom and ask for some money." He felt sure his mom would definitely have some money. "Hello, Mom." After the call connected, Fang Zhiya was filled with immense surprise and also lots of joy at her son''s unexpected call. "Son, what''s up?" "Mom, I need ten thousand yuan. School is about to start, and I n to sign up for an advanced prep course in my major. This way, I can far outperform the others and it''ll be easier to win schrshipster." Liu Yaolong casually fabricated an excuse. He nned to trick Fang Zhiya out of ten thousand yuan. He knew his mother didn''t understand these things, so she wouldn''t be suspicious. "Ten thousand yuan..." Fang Zhiya really didn''t have much money at the moment; her stall had cost her quite a bit with the additional expenses and rent. Although she made a little money from the stall, it wasn''t realistic to take out ten thousand yuan at the moment. But, her son was trying to take care of important things... She couldn''t just not support him. You can''t skimp on education no matter how poor you are... "Can I give you ten thousand in a month, darling?" "No way, Mom, I need it now." In a month, it would be toote for the life of luxury he was looking forward to. Liu Yaolong, who had just resumed ying the role of a rich second-generation, couldn''t wait any longer. "Alright, then Mom will think of something for you. Will youe home to stay?" "Better not..." Hearing the whirring sound of the fan, Liu Yaolong lost all interest. The air conditioning at a friend''s ce was far morefortable. Not even a dog would live in a shabby rental room with only a fan forfort. ... In the following days, Fang Zhiya, while running her stall, began trying to call her old friends. Before she mentioned borrowing money, their attitudes were quite good. But as soon as she brought up borrowing ten thousand yuan, the responses were surprisingly unanimous! One after another, the sound of calls being disconnected. Some people were only interested in Fang Zhiya for her body. This plunged Fang Zhiya into despair. The world was indeed cruel to the core¡ªwhen it came to borrowing money, there was nobody willing to help her... Thinking about it was truly despairing. Suddenly, Fang Zhiya thought of someone. Li Zhiyan! If she were to ask that boy for ten thousand yuan, he would surely lend it to her, wouldn''t he? Chapter 76: 070 Buy Aunt Fang a short skirt Thinking of Li Zhiyan brought nothing but warth to Fang Zhiya''s heart. This world is so heartless... However, the appearance of Li Zhiyan seemed to mend and repair this somewhat unfeeling world. But he was just an 18-year-old kid. It wasn''t right to ask him to borrow money. When she was feeling extremely ufortable, the QQ notification suddenly sounded. On Fang Zhiya''s QQ, there was only one friend, and that was Li Zhiyan¡ªso any notification was definitely from the kid looking to chat with her. Li Zhiyan: "Aunt Fang, how have you been these days after the divorce?" Fang Zhiya: "Pretty good, don''t worry about me." Li Zhiyan: "I''lle see you. Are you still at the same spot selling things?" Fang Zhiya: "Mm." After chatting with Li Zhiyan for a while... Fang Zhiya looked forward to Li Zhiyan''s uing visit more than anything. Before long, Li Zhiyan appeared before the stall. "Aunt Fang, long time no see, you''ve be even more beautiful." "You child, always such a smooth talker." "Aunt Fang, I''m just telling the truth." Li Zhiyan, looking at the somewhat vacant stall, said, "Aunt Fang, do you have something on your mind? I always feel like you are hiding something in your heart." In reality, Fang Zhiya hid her emotions very well; she didn''t want the child to know about her troubles. But unfortunately for her, Li Zhiyan had a system, and he knew everything clearly... He knew that Fang Zhiya wanted to borrow money. "Nothing''s wrong, you child, don''t let your mind wander." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya began to doubt whether she was really that poor at hiding her emotions. Li Zhiyan had noticed that she was troubled. "Aunt Fang, there must be a problem. Is it money that you need? I can lend it to you¡ªI still have some." "How did you know that Auntie needs money?" Without thinking, Fang Zhiya blurted it out, but as soon as she did, she regretted it. It was not appropriate to talk about needing money with a child, no matter from which perspective. He was just a kid, and even if he had money, she shouldn''t borrow from him. "If you need money, just tell me. I know you''re not the type that won''t pay back." Having her situation pointed out by Li Zhiyan, and thinking of her son''s schooling, Fang Zhiya said with a touch of shame, "Yao Long needs ten thousand yuan to enroll in a ss so he can get a schrship when school starts. I''ve tried to borrow from everyone but with no luck. If you can, could you lend Auntie ten thousand yuan? As soon as I earn enough from the stall, I''ll pay you back immediately." Li Zhiyan, of course, was very clear that Liu Yaolong needing money definitely wasn''t for any so-called ss, but considering his own mission, he would certainly not expose the truth. "Aunt Fang, I''ll lend it to you. In a bit, I''ll transfer it to your ount using online banking." "Thank you, Xiao Yan..." "Auntie really doesn''t know how to thank you anymore; I owe you more and more." Fang Zhiya took the initiative to get to the point, making Li Zhiyan breathe a sigh of relief. "Aunt Fang, does your back still hurt?" When the topic of massaging her back was brought up, Fang Zhiya''s heart held an unbearable shyness. Li Zhiyan, shirtless, straddling her legs, massaging her back, asionally tapping her with a wooden stick to help her rx. The thought alone was unbearably embarrassing. "My back doesn''t hurt anymore, rest assured, Xiao Yan." "Aunt Fang, I have a favor to ask of you, can you please agree to it?" Li Zhiyan making a request surprised Fang Zhiya. But he had helped her so much, and he was willing to lend her ten thousand yuan when no one else would lend her money. How could she refuse any request of his... With that thought, Fang Zhiya responded earnestly, "Xiao Yan, whatever your request is, just ask. If Auntie can fulfill it, she definitely will." Li Zhiyan was very serious as he said, "Aunt Fang, you know, since I was young I''ve never ''seen the legs''." "I''ve never touched a leg before, so I want to look at your leg, touch it, feel what it''s like to touch a woman''s leg. Do you think that''s okay..." Fang Zhiya was somewhat stunned in ce. She really didn''t expect Li Zhiyan to make such a request. This child, wanted to touch her leg! However, at 18, it''s an age of intense curiosity about the opposite sex. Having such thoughts, seems pretty normal, doesn''t it... As she thought about it, Fang Zhiya''s face started to turn red. "Xiao Yan..." this chapter is mv|le|mp|y r "This isn''t right. Auntie is a woman after all, and it''s not appropriate for you to touch her leg." Li Zhiyan made a sound of acknowledgment. "Auntie, I was confused. Don''t take it seriously." "Just pretend I never said that." "I''m going over there to have a bowl of mung bean soup." Li Zhiyan realized that Aunt Fang was the kind of woman who was rather naive, and with such a show of retreat, she would definitely agree to his request. After all, she was softhearted... Looking at Li Zhiyan''s dejected figure, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but feel sorry for him again. This child was really quite pitiful. Some kids at his age were already romping around, renting rooms for wild escapades. Yet he had never even touched a woman''s leg. In fact, he hadn''t even touched a woman''s hand. Thest time he touched her hand was the first time he had touched a woman''s hand in his life. Perhaps she should satisfy this wish of his, after all, he''s just a child. She could just fulfill his curiosity. If Li Zhiyan''s curiosity was not vented, and he did something that crossed the line, then it would really be her fault. When Li Zhiyan came back after finishing his mung bean soup, Fang Zhiya, with a flushed face, approached Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie has thought it over. When we get hometer, I''ll let you look at my leg." "You can also touch Auntie''s leg." "But we agree, it''s just to satisfy your curiosity, so you know what it feels like to touch a woman''s leg." "You must respect Auntie as your elder." "Not as a woman, understand?" "Also, you can only touch Auntie''s calf, not the thigh." "The thigh is too private." Li Zhiyan swallowed hard; he really hadn''t seen Aunt Fang''s thigh. She always covered herself up very well! When he helped massage her ankle in the hotel that time, he only saw a small section of her fair calf. Aunt Fang''s legs must be very white, very beautiful indeed. "Okay, thank you, Aunt Fang..." "Let''s pack up and go home. Business doesn''t seem so good today." Fang Zhiya''s body visibly shivered. "By the way, Xiao Yan, Auntie doesn''t have shorts, and it seems a bit inconvenient to show you my legs." "Then, as we pass through the night marketter, I''ll buy you a short skirt." "I''ve never seen you in clothes that show your legs. It must look very nice." Chapter 77: We agreed it would only be touching the leg Li Zhiyan''s heart uncontrobly started to fantasize. Aunt Fang wearing a miniskirt, letting him watch as she touched her beautiful legs, just the thought was a powerful strike to his psyche. Wearing miniskirts is not unusual. However, getting a woman with an extremely traditional heart to wear a miniskirt, that was apletely different matter! If one day he could get Aunt Fang to wear ck stockings and high heels, what would that feel like? Li Zhiyan''s heart couldn''t help but anticipate that moment with an indescribable expectation. "A miniskirt, Auntie has never worn such a thing before..." "But, you should buy itter." Fang Zhiya knew, her pants were all long, and it would be very inconvenient for Li Zhiyan to see her legs. Unless she went without, but that would be even more inconvenient. . "Alright, Aunt Fang, let''s pack up..." After a while, seeing no customers, Fang Zhiya''s heart started to feel uneasy. Couldn''t it be that there would never be any business, and how would she earn an ie in the future. As they pushed the cart through the night market, passing a stall... Li Zhiyan casually selected a pleated skirt. Looking at the pleated skirt that barely covered half of the thigh... Fang Zhiya felt an uncontroble sense of shyness, if she wore that, wouldn''t half her thigh be exposed! For a moment, she regretted agreeing to let him touch her legs. But once she had promised the younger generation, despite the shyness, she couldn''t go back on her word. "Aunt Fang, do you think clothes like this are pretty." "Pretty... just not suitable for Auntie." Fang Zhiya''s voice was somewhat unclear. "Aunt Fang, it''s okay, you''re only wearing it inside the rental room, not going out. No one else will see." The more he spoke, the more embarrassed Fang Zhiya felt. By the time they reached her apartment downstairs, she felt a bit dazed, thinking soon this kid would touch her legs. When Fang Zhiya opened the door, the couple next door, seeing the miniskirt in Li Zhiyan''s hands, had eyes filled with admiration. Indeed, this world is too crazy, anything can happen! ... "Xiao Yan, wait for Auntie at the door, I''ll take a shower." "Then, put on the miniskirt after you''re done, and I''lle to see your legs." Li Zhiyan''s crude words... had a different kind of impact on a traditionally hearted woman like Fang Zhiya. "Okay." Watching Li Zhiyan leave, Fang Zhiya, as before, wiped her body, cleaning every corner thoroughly, followed by washing her hair. After putting on her underwear, she also pulled up the pleated skirt around her waist. Looking at her reflection in the mirror. Fang Zhiya felt she absolutely couldn''t ept it! In the mirror, was that herself... So much thigh exposed! Just the thought was so hard to ept. "Xiao Yan is so pitiful, I just want to let him know, to know what it feels like to touch a woman''s leg." "Don''t overthink it, this is just to help Xiao Yan." A few minutester, she gently opened the door, and Li Zhiyan darted in before she locked it again. In the dim light, he understood rental room literature even more. Aunt Fang''s legs were really so white and long. With a petite and delicate figure, she had such beautiful legs and a 36D bust, it was truly rare. At this moment, Li Zhiyan felt he could hardly contain his desires. During this time, he must make Aunt Fang cross that line with him. Uncle Liu, the task you entrusted me with, I''ll be sure to aplish it. "Is it¡­ nice looking¡­" Fang Zhiya asked somewhat nervously, feeling that such an outfit was extremely indecent. Therefore, she always regarded short skirts as a dangerous temptation. "It looks good, Aunt Fang. Your legs are really beautiful, even whiter than my face." Li Zhiyan''s words made Fang Zhiya cover her mouth andugh involuntarily. "Aunt Fang, may I touch them now¡­" Li Zhiyan slowly made his way to Fang Zhiya''s side. At that moment, Fang Zhiya could feel the warmth emanating from Li Zhiyan''s body¡ªfiery and characteristic of a young man. Already sensitive, she couldn''t help but respond instinctively. "You may¡­ but remember, you can only touch Auntie''s calves." "Okay¡­" "Let''s go to the bamboo mat then. It''ll be more convenient to touch your legs while sitting." Li Zhiyan kept stirring Fang Zhiya''s heart with such talk of touching her legs while saying these words. His hormones also exploded, causing him to bend down. "Okay, Xiao Yan. Come and touch¡­" Fang Zhiya inwardly cursed herself for being shameless and vulgar, wondering how she could have said such things. To let Li Zhiyane and touch her legs. After sitting on the bamboo mat, Li Zhiyan gently removed Fang Zhiya''s slippers, grasped her foot, and made her sit up. He had already thoroughly touched these jade feet before, so now he didn''t find them extraordinary. "Aunt Fang, your feet are really gorgeous¡­" Li Zhiyan''s hand slowly moved over her feet while Fang Zhiya closed her eyes. As she propped her elbows on the bamboo mat and felt Li Zhiyan caressing her foot, she was already out of strength. After all, her sensitivity was truly intense. "Aunt Fang, I am going to touch your calves now." "Mmm¡­" At that moment, although Fang Zhiya was responding, Li Zhiyan couldn''t hear her at all. ncing at Fang Zhiya''s 36D, Li Zhiyan''s hands slowly ced themselves on her calves. "Xiao Yan¡­" "Hurry up and touch." Li Zhiyan caressed Fang Zhiya''s calves back and forth and employed his massage skills. At this moment, his eyes caught sight of something on the bamboo mat. His hand then reached Fang Zhiya''s knees and began to move slowly forward. Just as he was about to touch her thighs, Fang Zhiya grabbed his hand. "Xiao Yan¡­ You promised not to touch Auntie''s thighs." "Aunt Fang, just let me touch it once, just once, okay¡­" "I promise, very quickly." "Without touching the thighs, it''s like having never touched a woman''s legs at all." Fang Zhiya felt there was some logic to what Li Zhiyan said; he was just a boy with strong curiosity. She thought she might as well fulfill his wish... "Okay¡­ alright, Xiao Yan, be quick." "You should respect Auntie as an elder, not treat her like a woman." After getting permission from Aunt Fang, Li Zhiyan sessfully ced his hand on Fang Zhiya''s thigh. This time, Fang Zhiya''s face turned even redder. This child¡­ Feeling the touch of Fang Zhiya''s beautiful legs. Li Zhiyan slowly leaned in and gently kissed Fang Zhiya''s thigh. This time, Fang Zhiya''s voice fully escaped her. "Xiao Yan¡­" "No, this isn''t right¡­" Chapter 78: 072 Sorry, Husband (Ex-Husband) [Bonus Chapter with 320 Votes] Fang Zhiya''s heart flushed with extreme shyness¡ªshe couldn''t believe that Li Zhiyan had actually licked her leg. That warm, moist sensation was so vivid. Today, she had really made a fool of herself. "Xiao Yan, you can''t do this, this is unfair to your Uncle Liu." Fang Zhiya thought of her husband in prison, feeling a tremendous guilt in her heart at this moment. Li Zhiyan looked up, sensing that Aunt Fang had reached her limit. If it continued, it might tear apart the rtionship between the two of them. Wanting to capture the respawn point of an enemy, he couldn''t rush it. "I''m sorry, Aunt Fang, I''ve just never touched a woman''s leg before." "So I couldn''t help but kiss it." "It''s just out of curiosity, plus I like you as an elder so much, there''s absolutely no other thought." Fang Zhiyaposed herself and pulled down her skirt. She deeply regretted agreeing to let Li Zhiyan touch her leg, as he had not only touched her calf but also her thigh. And he had even kissed... and licked with his tongue, that tingling sensation almost made her copse. "Xiao Yan, Aunt sees you as a junior, as just an 18-year-old kid." "Aunt let you touch her leg, it was just as agreed." "Only allowed you to touch the calf..." As she said these words, Fang Zhiya felt her face blush even more. "But you, you touched Aunt''s thigh." "And you kissed Aunt..." "It''s very unfair to your Uncle Liu, Xiao Yan. You mustn''t do this in the future, do you understand?" Fang Zhiya knew it was time to fall out with Li Zhiyan. Had it been anyone else, she would have done so without hesitation. But Li Zhiyan was different after all. Their connection was too deep; she would have fallen into the abyss long ago during the most desperate times if not for Li Zhiyan. Moreover, Fang Zhiya felt that Li Zhiyan wasn''t the type to be led astray by lust. He was just in puberty, curious about the female body, that''s all. "Aunt Fang, you and my uncle are divorced now." "So now you''re single, and there''s no issue of being unfair to him." Aunt Fang had a too traditional heart, so Li Zhiyan was also reminding her not to always think about the apologies owed to Liu Jiannan, or she would never break through. Now that the two of them were divorced, it wouldn''t be a moral problem for him to be with Aunt Fang. "Don''t... don''t talk about this anymore..." Although they were divorced, Fang Zhiya still felt in her heart that her separation from her husband was only temporary. She was still his wife, and they nned to remarry once he was released from prison. "Xiao Yan, since Aunt let you touch her leg today, make sure you don''t go out andmit any crimes, you know." Fang Zhiya, suppressing her own shame, began to educate Li Zhiyan. In her heart, educating the younger generation was of the utmost importance¡ªallowing Li Zhiyan to touch her leg today was also a form of education, wasn''t it? She never had any other intention, it was merely a tonic lesson about the opposite sex for Li Zhiyan. If she didn''t educate him well, it would be easy for him to stray from the right path. "Aunt was just letting you experience what it''s like to touch a woman''s leg, and afterwards, you shouldn''t have any wild thoughts." Li Zhiyan bowed slightly, as he couldn''t stand up straight at the moment. "I understand, Aunt; your teaching today has been very helpful..." "I now know what it feels like to touch a woman''s leg¡ªI get it all." "I definitely won''t think recklessly in the future; thank you for your education." Li Zhiyan held deep respect for this elder¡ª20 out of 10 points! Aunt Fang truly was someone willing to invest in the education of the younger generation. "Hmm... okay, you should go home now, it''s gettingte, and your mom must be getting anxious." read more on NovelBinmp-yr "Goodbye, Aunt Fang." After Li Zhiyan left. Fang Zhiya changed out of the embarrassing skirt, wiping down the bamboo mat, her mind reying the recent scenes over and over. Oh my, Xiao Yan had actually kissed her leg, and there seemed still to be traces where his tongue had passed. This was too crazy. "But thankfully, the leg touching today yed its educational role." "If I hadn''t let him know what touching a leg feels like, the teenage boy would probably have wild thoughts." "As for the education aspect, it''s not really being unfaithful to a husband I''ve divorced..." "He sees me only as an elder, not as a woman." Fang Zhiya''s heart was filled with self-assurances, while next door, the noise of domestic violence made her cover her ears again. ... After getting home, Li Zhiyan transferred ten thousand yuan into Fang Zhiya''s bank ount. His 290,000 yuan savings decreased by ten thousand, but he then received a thirty thousand yuan reward from the system. Sessfully breaking through to 310,000 yuan. "This ten thousand yuan, in the end, was spent for the ss monitor..." "But whatever the ss monitor spends, his mom will make it up for him." "Now, I''m only 690,000 yuan away from my millionaires'' goal, not far off..." "When the timees, I''ll buy my mom a house first." "But before school starts, I''ve got to take mom to an inte caf¨¦, let her know I can earn money, that I have a continuous and stable source of ie." "Otherwise, she''ll definitely continue working overtime." Li Zhiyan was very clear that his mom also had that traditional mindset; only with more money saved would she feel at ease. After a session online, Li Zhiyan received numerous messages from Wang Xinyue. "Li Zhiyan, I have two water park tickets, do you want to go with me? I have a beautiful swimsuit." Chapter 79: 072 Sorry, Husband (Ex-Husband) [Bonus Chapter with 320 Votes]_2 "Li Zhiyan, your inte cafe is really impressive, it''s decorated so nicely." "Li Zhiyan, why aren''t you replying to my messages..." Li Zhiyanpletely ignored Wang Xinyue''s messages; this woman was indeed someone you shouldn''t get too close to. However, this feeling was quite enjoyable; after all, it was Wang Xinyue who was fawning over him. Having money can really change too many things. For the goal of bing a millionaire, keep striving! Li Zhiyan had justin down on the bed with the fan blowing on him. The cool breeze was making him feel veryfortable. "Sleep now, and tomorrow I''ll talk to Mom about the inte cafe." ... On the other hand, Fang Zhiya, tossing and turning in her rental apartment, received a transfer of ten thousand yuan from Li Zhiyan. The events of the day had made a huge impact on her heart. She was unable to fall asleep until now, when she received the transfer information for ten thousand yuan. "Ten thousand yuan has been transferred..." At this moment, Fang Zhiya fully felt the weight of ten thousand yuan; besides Xiao Yan, there was no one else willing to lend her that much money. After her husband was incarcerated, she felt like the only person she could rely on in this world was Li Zhiyan. Thinking about Li Zhiyan sitting on herp, massaging her back again came to her mind, and a strange idea couldn''t help but rise in Fang Zhiya''s heart. What would it be like if Li Zhiyan was with her? If he used... And then forcefully... At the moment this thought appeared, a rush of shame swiftly overwhelmed Fang Zhiya''s heart. "Fang Zhiya, how can you be so shameless? You''re 41 years old and he''s just 18, how can you have such evil thoughts." "You are really a shameless woman." Even though she was scolding herself in her mind, the image of Li Zhiyan tenderly stroking her leg kept recurring in Fang Zhiya''s brain. This kid must be really curious about women''s bodies. All this was because he had never experienced it, which is why he made such a request to her. With countlessplicated thoughts, Fang Zhiya finally fell into a deep sleep. ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan finished washing up, Zhou Rongrong had already prepared a full table of dishes. "Mom, school is about to start, and I want to talk to you about something." Zhou Rongrong felt a sense of reluctance in her heart; her son, whom she had watched grow up, was finally about to leave his mother''s embracepletely. From now on, he was a full-fledged adult. "What is it, son?" "Mom, I really hope you won''t do any overtime. While I can still look after you now, once I go to school, I''ll only be back on Sundays. If you think about overtime then, I won''t know about it." Looking at how earnest Li Zhiyan was, Zhou Rongrong patted his head. "Don''t worry, Mom won''t do any overtime." "I don''t believe it..." "I think you definitely want to work overtime to earn more money, but I just want you to know that you really don''t need to. I can make good money now." "I''ve opened an inte cafe." Zhou Rongrong''s pretty face was filled with surprise, somewhat unable to believe what she was hearing. She knew her son had previously made fifty thousand yuan, but he had opened an inte cafe? How much money would that require! An inte cafe would need several hundred thousand yuan to get started. Where did he get so much money from? He wouldn''t have been involved in illegal activities, right? Zhou Rongrong''s heart was flooded with uncontroble worry. "Mom, don''t look at me like that. I made some money doing programming and French trantion." "I bought it when an inte cafe was about to close down, and it cost me two hundred thousand in total." "But now, business is really good, and I can make a steady thirty thousand yuan a month." Li Zhiyan''s words were like a series of bombs. They left Zhou Rongrong''s head spinning. Is this my son? After giving her forty thousand yuan, he earned another two hundred thousand! And he even opened his own inte cafe? If that''s the case, her sneaking off to work overtime for that extra eighty yuan seemed indeed pointless. "Son, are you serious?" Zhou Rongrong touched Li Zhiyan''s face, her beautiful eyes beaming with pride. "Of course I''m serious. If you don''t believe me, how about we visit the inte cafe together today?" "My inte cafe is called Brotherhood Inte Cafe." Zhou Rongrong happily kissed Li Zhiyan''s face over and over again. After kissing him three times, she finally stood up. "I have to go to work today, but I''ll visit my son''s inte cafe tomorrow!" Watching his mother so happy, Li Zhiyan felt that the Brotherhood Inte Cafe''s monthly profit of thirty thousand was worth every penny but one. In this life, he must protect those he wanted to protect. In the morning, after Li Zhiyan arrived at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe, the system task hadn''t refreshed, but he wasn''t in a hurry. Sometimes the system would take several days to release a task. Now, with three hundred and ten thousand yuan in hand, Li Zhiyan wasn''t in a rush. Besides, by the end of the month, when the inte cafe''s thirty thousand yuan profit came in, he would have three hundred and forty thousand in savings. "Brother Yan, you''re here!" your m,v,l,e,m,p,y,r story "Did you see the chat group? They''re all talking about how Liu Yaolong is the rich second generation." "Lots of people are fawning over him." Li Zhiyan smiled; once some people''s heads got big, they couldn''te back down to earth, and now Liu Yaolong waspletely immersed in the role of a rich second generation. "Forget about him; let''s y some games." Chapter 80: 072 Sorry, Husband (Ex-Husband) [Bonus Chapter with 320 Votes]_3 ``` As the game yed on, Auntie Jiang Xian arrived again. "Xiao Yan." After reaching behind Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian greeted him cheerfully. "Auntie, you''re here looking for someone again? Let me help you look for them." Seeing Auntie''s incredibly fair and beautiful face and skin, Li Zhiyan was also very enthusiastic. The two of them walked around inside the inte caf¨¦, with Jiang Xian asionally scanning the surroundings. After searching the first and second floors without finding any of Yen Zhengjin''s students, Li Zhiyan walked her out of the inte caf¨¦. As they walked, Li Zhiyan couldn''t shake the feeling that Auntie seemed to have something on her mind. "Auntie, do you have something weighing on your mind?" "I feel like you are troubled about something." Jiang Xian hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to be so perceptive about emotions. "Yes, Xiao Yan, there are some things, it''s about what I mentioned to you earlier. Your teacher''s been acting a bit off." "Recently, I''ve noticed his state is even worse. He''s distracted even when eating, as if he''s preupied with something, and he''s stopped washing his hair too." "He often smells... uh, really bad..." "I don''t even want to be near him. Could he be having an affair?" Li Zhiyan replied with some surprise, "Auntie, judging by the teacher''s condition, he doesn''t seem like he is capable of having an affair." Yen Zhengjin not only had sparse hair but also looked like someone who was evidently suffering from kidney deficiency. It was questionable whether he could function as a normal man, let alone cheat. After being told this by Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s lovely face blushed red, realizing that the young boy had grown up and now understood everything. Indeed, her husband really wasn''t capable of having an affair. "Anyway, I just feel something''s not right with him, and he won''t talk about it." "So I''m feeling a bit uneasy." Li Zhiyan thought Yen Zhengjin might have developed a gambling addiction or something, given the behavior described by Auntie, which resembled that of a gambler. However, he didn''t voice this thought, deciding it was better not to specte without knowledge of the situation. "Oh, there''s another thing." "Your teacher wants a divorce from me." At this revtion, Li Zhiyan was also taken aback. A divorce? Yen Zhengjin wanted a divorce from Auntie? Marrying someone as beautiful as Auntie was a stroke of luck, why would he think of getting a divorce? "Auntie, is the teacher bullying you? If that''s the case, tell me, I''ll back you up," Li Zhiyan offered. Backing someone up, he was absolutely strong at that. "No, it''s not that. Our neighborhood is going through demolition soon." "If we get divorced, we could get an extra apartment." "So, your teacher wants to divorce me. We''ll split but still live together; that way, we can earn quite a bit more money." "It''s just I believe marriage is significant, and I wanted to grow old with your teacher." "If we divorce, it feels like I''m not being responsible toward our marriage." "Xiao Yan, what do you think about this?" Li Zhiyan thought for a moment. Then he said, "Auntie, I think it''s actually okay to get divorced." "After all, an apartment is not a small amount of money." "Besides, if the love is true, it should withstand tests like this." "If the teacher doesn''t cherish you, having a marriage certificate wouldn''t mean much, would it?" "If you get divorced, you could always remarryter." "It''s also a little test for your marriage, isn''t it?" Jiang Xian had been struggling internally with whether to get remarried. But now, thinking it over, she realized Li Zhiyan made too much sense. If the feelings she had for her husband over these years couldn''t withstand this little challenge, like Li Zhiyan said, it indeed seemed rather meaningless. . "I understand now," Auntie replied. "When I get back, I''ll go through with the divorce. But after that, I won''t be your Auntie anymore." "In my heart, you''ll always be Auntie." "And you''re like a second mother to me;ter, I can call you Auntie Jiang or ''Mom Jiang''." "When you and my teacher remarry." "Then I''ll call you Auntie again." Jiang Xian felt a warmth in her heart; the young boy was truly wonderful. "''Mom Jiang,'' that sounds quite nice, as if I really were your mother." "Good son," she sighed. "Mom is going home to get a divorce now." Patting Li Zhiyan''s head, Jiang Xian briefly indulged in ying the role of a mother. It wasn''t until after Auntie Jiang had walked away that Li Zhiyan pondered over the beauty of her legs before heading back to the inte caf¨¦. All these women, why do they all want to be my mother? Now, I''ve truly be everyone''s dream boy. ... In the afternoon, the system announced a new task. Li Zhiyan, who was gaming, found it somewhat unexpected, as this task involved Rao Shi Yun. "Rao Shi Yun''spany and Li Meifeng''spany have a joint project about tounch." "Tonight, they are hosting a banquet for a Mister Li from within the system." "Li Mingzhang is not only known for his extraordinary capacity for alcohol." "But he''s also a huge fan of the original ''Journey to the West.''" "Because of your remarkable ability to hold your liquor, Li Meifeng and Rao Shi Yun intend to invite you to help them make a good impression." "Please help Rao Shi Yun secure the project and hug her waist for one minute." "Reward for the task: fifty thousand yuan in cash." "Title: King of the Wheel." "The historical figure Lao Ai, once known as the Marquis of Changxin, had this kind of ability." "After acquiring the title King of the Wheel, one will have the power to spin wheels." "Since you know nothing about ''Journey to the West,''" "you will receive an enhancement of knowledge and interpretation of the original text." "Enhancementplete..." Li Zhiyan was somewhat surprised. Spinning wheels, he could spin wheels with his hands actually; this counted as a reward? ``` Chapter 81: 072 Sorry, Husband (Ex-Husband) [Bonus Chapter with 320 Votes]_4 But then, he seemed to understand something. Completing tasks was imperative no matter what, he had to finish this task! However, the system supplemented things quite quickly this time. Thinking about the original work of Journey to the West in his mind, Li Zhiyan realized the original really had some dark elements. "Usually, I watch the ''86 version of Journey to the West." "It really doesn''t match up with the original." Around four o''clock, Li Zhiyan indeed received a QQ message from Rao Shiyun. Rao Shiyun: "Are you there, Xiao Yan." Li Zhiyan: "I''m here, Auntie Rao, I miss you." "I haven''t seen youtely." The adult world is indeed a busy one, which made Li Zhiyan feel a deep sense of helplessness. He would have liked to spend every day with Aunt Gu and Auntie Rao. But they were all busy. Rao Shiyun: "There''s a drinking party tonight at my ce,e over." "You can just have a little if necessary." "Auntie has already found someone who can drink." At this moment, Rao Shiyun was sitting in her office chatting with Li Zhiyan. And behind her, Li Meifeng was still spouting cheeky words non-stop. "Oh Rao, you really care about him, huh!" "You must have nursed him plenty." "You can''t bear to let Li Zhiyan drink more, he can hold his liquor so well, what''s a couple of drinks for him." "But then again, which milk canpare to wine?" "Li Zhiyan is just too lucky, having such a beautiful godmother like you." Rao Shiyun''s cheeks turned red, she always thought she spoke flirtatiously. Butpared to Li Meifeng, it was really nothing. "What godmother, don''t spout nonsense, I actually wanted to take him as my godson, but he wouldn''t." Lately, Rao Shiyun had less contact with Li Zhiyan. Although she deeply longed for him, she was always afraid that more contact would lead to more thoughts in Li Zhiyan''s heart. He liked older women, Rao Shiyun knew that. If Li Zhiyan truly became involved with her emotions as a man, she really didn''t want to hurt him. Her rtionship with her husband of many years, and their imminent reconciliation, she really didn''t want this to hurt Xiao Yan. She liked the kid from the bottom of her heart. "Isn''t that nonsense? Of course, he''s unwilling." "Do you have no clue what Li Zhiyan likes? He has openly pursued the beautiful Gu Wanzhou." "Plus, there''s you. I think if he met you first, he would definitely have pursued you first." "You know, having D+ isn''t something just anyone has." "Li Zhiyan definitely wants to lie down in your arms at night." "That would be satisfying, and he could eat his fill." "Li Zhiyan probably has some adorationplex." "So he definitely likes someone like you!" "If he really took you as his godmother, that would mean giving up the chance for you to nurse him." "How could he possibly be your godson?" "I say stop being so modest. Li Zhiyan is an ambitious and capable kid." "He''s way better than your husband, always thinking about getting back together." "If I were you, I''d take him to book a room." "A few spins to the left, a few to the right, first feed him well and then talk!" Li Meifeng couldn''t help but add fuel to the fire, somehow, she really wanted to see Rao Shiyun or Gu Wanzhou nurse Li Zhiyan one day. For her, a spectator, a romantic rtionship with an age gap of over twenty years. Seemed quite... Quite thrilling! The audacious words of Li Meifeng made Rao Shiyun''s face heat up uncontrobly. She endured the embarrassment and continued chatting with Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Auntie, I''ll get ready." Rao Shiyun: "I''lle pick you upter." Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Rao, I miss you so much, you''re so busy, you don''t look for me, I really miss you." "I miss you so much." Li Zhiyan''s passionate and childish words made Rao Shiyun feel the emotion behind his yearning for her. This kid, he truly missed her, but she hadn''t seen himtely. She was afraid that if he developed romantic feelings for her, she would end up hurting him in the end. If only he did not see her as a woman but just as an elder, that would be so much better. That day, she was crazy to have taught him how to kiss. Once some things start, they''re like opening Pandora''s box, impossible to close again. A feeling of sadness and guilt began to spread through Rao Shiyun''s heart. Rao Shiyun: "Child, Auntie misses you too." "Let''s have a good chat tonight." Rao Shiyun''s eyes were just beginning to moisten when. Li Meifeng started her magical attack from behind. "Talking is not interesting, Xiao Yancks motherly love;tely, you haven''t sought him out, causing him such distress¡ªyou should properly nurse him aspensation! Or feed him some of your honey water!" |empyr. Rao Shiyun felt her mind explode instantaneously, a nk void, her faceplete scorching hot. Chapter 82: 073 Have you ever heard of Marquis of Changxin? "Hadn''t you seen my picture before?" "Your skin tone is the most beautiful one." "But honey water has to be discovered by Li Zhiyan himself." Rao Shi Yun really couldn''t bear this woman''s predatory words anymore. Her speech was now truly getting more and more boundless. "What are you talking about¡­" Rao Shi Yun''s mind went nk. She couldn''t even type when chatting with Li Zhiyan. "Rao Beauty, "You''re just too shy." "Aunt Gu might have fed him long ago, and it may not have been in the conventional way." Rao Shi Yuny there covering her ears, not daring to listen to Li Meifeng go on any longer. That woman was truly too crazy. It wasn''t until the sound of knocking on the door that she raised her head. Standing at the door were Lew Huan and Wang Shangyan, with Lew Huan sporting arge adhesive bandage on his head. Clearly, thest beating from Wang Shangyan had been severe. "Shangyan, I heard you two divorced. What''s going on?" In front of Wang Shangyan, Li Meifeng didn''t dare to spout her flirtatious words, primarily because she wasn''t close to Wang Shangyan, and most importantly, the woman was too violent. She had seen with her own eyes how Wang Shangyan had smashed a bottle over Lew Huan''s head during a drinking party. If Lew Huan really fought with Wang Shangyan, he might not be able to handle her; after all, the woman was too fierce¡ªif given a knife, she would probably dare to stab Lew Huan in the kidneys. Such a woman was indeed frightening. Wang Shangyan, with her big wavy hair, short skirt, high heels, and stockings, calmly said, "His actions disgusted me, so we divorced. I''ll observe him for a while." "If he continues to behave well," "Then I''ll remarry him." "So Lew, you''d better perform really well." "Absolutely, I love my wife the most." Lew Huan was smiling apologetically; his demeanor was obviously much more subdued. His inws were very wealthy, and his wife was the quentissential rich second-generation. Even his own entrepreneurship was kick-started with his wife''s funds. Moreover, after so many years of affection, to say he didn''t love his wife would be unrealistic. Wang Shangyan was a good woman, apart from her awful temper and extreme violence. All other aspects were impable. So, he needed to work hard and strive for a quick remarriage. However, after seeing Rao Shi Yun''s blushing and tempting appearance, he felt an itch in his heart. What a pity, had it not been for that youngster Li Zhiyan''s meddling! Rao Shi Yun would have already be his ything by now. That D+ bust size, would it have been utterly soul-stirring? He quickly averted his gaze after a nce, fearing being seen by his wife¡ªno, his ex-wife. If he didn''t perform well, there would be no hope for remarriage. "Let''s set off to pick up Li Zhiyan." "Why are we picking him up!" Just mentioning Li Zhiyan got Lew Huan steaming with anger. That kid was so annoying! Everything was going ording to n, but then he showed up out of nowhere, facing up to seven men''s drinking, and got all seven of them drunk. That''s why he ended up getting clobbered by his wife. The most infuriating part was the damn snitch. If he ever caught that person, he would make him pay! "Are you sure you can handle it tonight without picking him up? With your little tolerance." As she spoke, Li Meifeng pinched her two fingers together, making Lew Huan''s face turn crimson with anger. What was this woman implying? "Let''s go." Rao Shi Yun was the first to leave the office. She still hadn''t snapped out of the shock from Li Meifeng''s earlier words. Talking about feeding Li Zhiyan was one thing, but now even the method of feeding had changed. ... "Brother Yan, I don''t know if you''ve ever heard of a historical figure?" "Last night, I came across a historical figure, and I thought you bore a resemnce to him." Li Zhiyan looked at Li Shiyu with some surprise. This guy, who only knew about Cross Fire and Dungeon Fighter Online, had actually started reading about the Spring and Autumn period? "You read books?" "Of course, I do. I''ve read all the books from the two-dor store, and I remember all the plots. But now with free inte, when no one''s around, I search online and read some articles," "I think this ss assistant isn''t bad, the ssic stuff from the older bros on top." Li Zhiyan: "..." "Enough with the chitchat, who did you spot now?" "Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, I think you''re a lot like him!" "I really know you. You could absolutely be called Lao Ai!" "And Lao Ai rose to wealth and glory after getting involved with the mother of Qin Shi Huang!" "This legendary journey is very simr to yours!" Li Zhiyan: "..." How did this kid know about the King of the Wheel? But Marquis of Changxin truly was his role model. At that moment, Rao Shi Yun''s Audi A6 stopped at the door, followed by a BMW 5 Series. "I have something to do tonight, you keep ying." After giving a few instructions to Li Shiyu, Li Zhiyan saw Rao Shi Yun get out of the car. Auntie Rao has really been avoiding metely, intentionally or not. Li Zhiyan could understand what was on Rao Shi Yun''s mind. She simply wanted to get back together with her husband and didn''t want to hurt him. But he was not the kind to sit back and wait for doom. No matter their years of rtionship, he liked Auntie Rao and would definitely not let go. After all, he had to help Liu Zifeng''s family have a second child. "Auntie Rao." "Long time no see." In the passenger seat, the just alighted Li Meifeng was still full of sassyments. "Look at that, straight away greeting Auntie Rao." "All because Auntie Rao has a big chest." "Ignoring me." Li Zhiyan was quite familiar with this woman by now and was, in his heart, very grateful for her sassy words. Sometimes, without her help, progress with either Auntie Rao or Aunt Gu would have been really difficult. "Aunt Li is fine." "Fine, and there''s another aunt behind you." As Li Meifeng finished speaking, two people came out of the following BMW 5 Series. Li Zhiyan was very familiar with them too: Lew Huan and Wang Shangyan. "Hello Uncle Lew, hello Auntie Wang." Although Lew Huan hated Li Zhiyan enough to grind his teeth, he could only manage to smile politely; the kid''s status was indeed very annoying! If he ignored him, he would be looked down upon by others, deemed as stooping to a child''s level and the like. "Fine." Wang Shangyan had a very good impression of Li Zhiyan. For the sake of a loved one, he had blocked seven men andpeted with them in drinking. If only he were her son. "Shangyan!" "Look at this inte caf¨¦. Impressive, right? Xiao Yan''s! He opened it at 18 through his own efforts." Wang Shangyan looked towards the inte caf¨¦ with some amazement in her heart. "What!" Li Zhiyan opened his own inte caf¨¦ at 18? And he''s only 18 years old. "Xiao Yan, you''re really amazing." Wang Shangyan couldn''t help but take Li Zhiyan''s hand. Her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration for him. Rao Shi Yun felt a sourness in her heart. How could this woman have no self-respect, grabbing Xiao Yan''s hand like that; doesn''t she know there are boundaries between men and women? "It''s not only that Shangyan, the business here was especially bad at first!" "But under this kid''s marketing, the caf¨¦ went from being ignored to being packed every day!" Chapter 83: 074 Wang Shangyans Intimacy As Li Meifeng spoke, Wang Shangyan looked around, noticing that the location here didn''t seem very good. Under normal circumstances, there probably wouldn''t be many peopleing here to use the inte. But now, it waspletely packed, and it looked like there was even a second floor. Being able to market to this extent was indeed frightening. "How about it, Shangyan, are you moved? Want to take him in as your foster son?" "Women all like sons like Li Zhiyan." "And, Xiao Yan isn''t just impressive in this matter!" "He also developed his system and optimized all theputers in the inte cafe." "I can hardly believe it, it''s just too impressive." "That inte cafe tycoon who came from another province even wanted to pay 200,000 for his system, but he didn''t sell." Li Meifeng''s words filled Wang Shangyan''s beautiful eyes with shining admiration. If so, this kid was indeed a very impressive figure. To achieve what was mentioned above, he must be a genius, and it would indeed be nice to have him as her foster son. Her own biological son was just too disappointing. She held Li Zhiyan''s hand and seemed reluctant to let go, even wishing to embrace the child in front of her. This scene made Lew Huan behind them extremely ufortable. The kid was already an adult, 18 years old, if his wife was willing to lie down for that. He could make his wife pregnant six or seven times in one night, and now this hand-holding was just too hard to bear. Even though she was his ex-wife, he still didn''t want his wife''s hand to be held by another man like this, and at this moment, he felt like he had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it. He''d thought about stealing from someone else''s home, so was there a possibility that one day his own home would be stolen from him? "200,000, Xiao Yan, you''re really amazing,e sit in Auntie''s car," "Auntie wants to have a chat with you." Looking at Wang Shangyan, who seemed very gentle and fond of him, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat inexplicably intimidated. He dared to lick Aunt Fang''s leg without her permission. But he absolutely didn''t dare do such a thing to Wang Shangyan. Even though 36D, long legs, flesh-colored stockings, and high heels were very attractive, Li Zhiyan had experienced how ruthless this mature woman could be, with no hesitation whatsoever in smacking Lew Huan''s head open. The sight of blood flowing freely was something he still vividly remembered, and she acted as if nothing happened, exuding an air of indifference as if it didn''t matter if she killed someone. This woman''s temperament was actually very fierce and violent. "Xiao Yan, go and ride with your Auntie Wang," "She''s divorced from your Uncle Lew now, I think you could let her nurse you." "That should be enough to fill you up." By then, Li Meifeng had be quite bold, realizing that Wang Shangyan was clearly in a state of overflowing maternal instincts, so a couple of teasing remarks wouldn''t be an issue. However, she didn''t dare to say more, lest she really anger this woman, after all, she was not Rao Shi Yun, who would merely shy away and cover her ears, leaning on the table. Lew Huan swore that he really wanted to strangle Li Meifeng, but Li Meifeng owned more shares than he did, and he couldn''t afford to offend her, so he had to choose to swallow his pride. His wife nursing his enemy? Just the thought set him seething with rage. "Xiao Yan, better to ride in Auntie''s car," Rao Shi Yun, overwhelmed with jealousy, finally couldn''t hold back and spoke out. She didn''t want Li Zhiyan to get too close to Wang Shangyan; she knew the kid had a thing for mature women. If he fell for Wang Shangyan, what then? Now that Wang Shangyan was divorced, it might really be possible for her to get together with Li Zhiyan. No sooner had she spoken than Rao Shi Yun regretted it, wondering what she was even thinking. Wasn''t she intent on keeping some distance between men and women from Li Zhiyan for now, and after they remarried, to gradually get closer in the rtions of senior and junior? "Hmm, Auntie Rao, I''ll ride in your car." Rao Shi Yun''s heart breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sweet sensation. It seemed that this child''s affection for her was indeed deeper. "Indeed, Xiao Yan likes the older ones; this really is true," Li Meifeng said as she climbed into the passenger seat, continuing her provocative talk. "Then Auntie will ride with you in Auntie Rao''s car," Li Meifeng suggested. Due to Li Meifeng''s earlier words, Wang Shangyan was now deeply curious about Li Zhiyan, recalling the scene when she first met him. Wang Shangyan''s feelings for Li Zhiyan were growing stronger. Rao Shiyun really wanted to kick Wang Shangyan out of the car. But he still controlled his emotions, reminding himself not to develop that kind of rtionship with her. The kissing lesson should only happen once; once was enough and must never be repeated no matter what! The Audi A6 drove off, leaving Lew Huan feeling incredibly ufortable behind them. His wife had left in another man''s car, and what''s worse, with the kid he detested the most. He might be a kid, but an 18-year-old at that. What if something happened between his wife and him? After all, it had been far too long since he and his wife had... If in extreme loneliness, something started between her and Li Zhiyan, what then? His wife might be 40, but she was beautiful and had a great figure. She also liked to wear stockings, which many young men fancied for their aerial assaults. What if the kid couldn''t control himself? As he pondered these thoughts, he felt increasingly suffocated, but he was unable tosh out. If he dared say anything, the others would certainly use him of being petty and troubled, overthinking about a kid. ¡­ "Xiao Yan, you''re really amazing. Self-learning programming is tough; Auntie has a cousin who''s a programmer. He''s going bald now and isn''t very capable, unlike you. Selling a cybercafe system for two hundred thousand is really impressive," praised Wang Shangyan, clutching Li Zhiyan''s hand, seemingly reluctant to let go. After a while, Wang Shangyan, feeling a bit tired, ced Li Zhiyan''s hand on her silky, stocking-d legs. She continued holding Li Zhiyan''s hand. Li Zhiyan then felt the warmth of Wang Shangyan''s legs, the heat and the unique texture of the stockings. In his past life, when he was young, he had even secretly taken stockings... These were memories he''d rather not revisit. He wondered when Aunt Fang might wear such stockings. For her, it seemed as difficult as ascending to the heavens. At that moment, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but notice Wang Shangyan''s deep cleavage, framed by her low-cut outfit. Auntie Wang had an astonishing bust indeed. His previous estimate of 36D might have been a bit conservative. Though she fell slightly shortpared to Auntie Rao, she was still a formidable contender. "Auntie Wang, I just got lucky," he replied modestly. "Xiao Yan, you''re so modest," she responded. As the two chatted, Rao Shiyun''s expression grew increasingly unnatural. She really wanted to pull Li Zhiyan towards her and snatch him back. And what was with this woman cing Li Zhiyan''s hand on her stockings? Was she trying to seduce him? He was a young man full of vigor; how could he withstand that! Such a shameless woman, did she want Li Zhiyan to get her pregnant? She must protect Xiao Yan. Indeed, Li Zhiyan was now subtly bending forward. Wang Shangyan hadn''t noticed anything amiss, but her hand identally touched something that startled her. Chapter 84: 075 Rao Shiyun is jealous again Wang Shangyan felt like she was experiencing hallucinations, but when she focused her gaze, she realized it wasn''t an illusion. Do people with talent really stand out with their talent anywhere? For a moment, Wang Shangyan''s pretty face turned red, and she found herself speechless. This child, he really is someone formidable. ... In the following moments, Wang Shangyan remained silent, which made Rao Shi Yun feel rather content, except that the woman kept Xiao Yan''s hand on her leg. The back of Xiao Yan''s hand kept feeling the sensation of her thigh; this woman really has no shame. "We''re here." After everyone got out of the car, Wang Shangyan finally let go of Li Zhiyan''s hand, much to Rao Shi Yun''s relief. It''s all Li Meifeng''s fault, otherwise this woman wouldn''t be paying so much attention to Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, let auntie take you to the private room. The clients will probably arrive soon." After Wang Shangyan had pulled Li Zhiyan away, Rao Shi Yun spoke with a hint of reproach, "Meifeng, why did you talk so much to that woman?" "Did you see how Wang Shangyan kept Xiao Yan''s hand on her stockings?" Li Meifeng noticed, Rao Shi Yun was jealous. "Rao the beauty, are you jealous? You''ve realized you like that kid, haven''t you!" "You really should face your own feelings." "You think Wang Shangyan has impure thoughts about Li Zhiyan," "because deep down, you''ve started to see him as a man." "Don''t you remember?" "When you first met Li Zhiyan," "weren''t you also very close to him?" "Holding his hand and chatting for a good half hour, right?" "Wang Shangyan just likes this kid, don''t overthink it." Rao Shi Yun nodded slightly, thinking a child like Li Zhiyan, born poor yet capable of everything, self-reliant, and strong-willed, is indeed the dream of all middle-aged women; who wouldn''t like Li Zhiyan. Maybe she was indeed being too sensitive. As the two headed inside the hotel, Li Meifeng also didn''t stop stirring the pot. "Rao the beauty, you just don''t dare admit you like Li Zhiyan in your heart." "From the moment you got jealous about Wang Shangyan letting him touch her leg, seeing him as a man, your mindset changed." "You definitely like Li Zhiyan, you just can''t admit it." "Your heart is still with your husband, but I really think Li Zhiyan is better than your husband." "You might consider not getting back with your ex and just date this kid for a while." "Anyway, your husband won''t find out, will he?" "Secretly ''nurture'' this kid first, let him fully understand a matronly girlfriend''s love." Rao Shi Yun''s face turned red again, what ''matronly girlfriend'', what kind of term is that? When the two arrived at the private room, there were already four people sitting there. Two of them were brought to keep Li Mingzhangpany in drinking; both Li Mingzhang and his secretary could hold their liquor well and particrly enjoyed drinking. If they could get past Li Mingzhang''s challenge tonight, they would get the procedures they needed taken care of. About Li Mingzhang, there were many legends circting in the district. If you wanted his help, you had to be ready to drink until your stomach perforated. A few minutester, Lew Huan walked in with Li Mingzhang and his secretary. Li Mingzhang might look ordinary, but one could sense an indistinct pressure emanating from him. This kind of pressure was something ordinary businessmen could not have, only those with high positions in the system. Li Mingzhang took the main seat, Lew Huan sat by his side, and Li Meifeng sat next to the secretary. "Director Li, it''s our honor to have you here tonight." He then gestured for Wang Shangyan toe over, but she was only interested in talking more with Li Zhiyan and ignored Lew Huan. Seeing Wang Shangyan trying to monopolize Li Zhiyan, a jealous Rao Shi Yun sat down on his other side. This made Lew Huan very ufortable, but in a setting meant for serious business, he couldn''t say anything. "I''m aware of the issue with your paperwork." "I believe you''ve heard of my rules." "If tonight you drink to my satisfaction, I''ll take care of your matter." "If not, no matter how sincere or generous you are, you won''t seed." "Whoever drinks with me is fine, I''ll match whatever you drink." "However, if someone else wants to drink with me, they must first cover the drinks I''ve had." "If you can get me drunk, you can go directly to me for business tomorrow." Li Zhiyan thought Li Mingzhang''s boastful manner was quite normal; with his stature, he indeed had the capital to act this way a decade ago. "Director Li, I''ll drink the first one to you!" One of the people Rao Shi Yun had invited to drink stood up and opened a bottle of Maotai. He poured himself a full ss. And then drank it down in one gulp. "Good!" Li Mingzhang, the booze lover, felt thrilled. He too picked up his ss, chugged it down, and even felt that wasn''t enough. Li Zhiyan had to admire Li Mingzhang''s capacity for liquor. Without his "Wine God" ability, he would never be able to outdrink him. But drinking like this would eventually lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Chapter 85: 075 Rao Shiyun is jealous again_2 ``` "Li has quite the capacity!" Li Meifeng and herpanions were all sycophants,cking dignity in the presence of Li Mingzhang. In front of him, their status as small-time merchants was truly trivial. Of course, if they were influential businessmen, the situation would be reversed; many important figures would grovel for their investment to boost the GDP and rack up achievements. That would indeed be an extreme low. "Li, let''s continue." "Sure!" Li Mingzhang, who was as fond of drinking as life itself. Wang Shangyan, holding onto Li Zhiyan''s hand, found this very distasteful. She leaned over to Li Zhiyan''s ear and said, "Xiao Yan, try to drink less in the future. Drinking isn''t good for your health, and even though you can hold your liquor, don''t learn from these people." Wang Shangyan smelled lovely. When she leaned in, Li Zhiyan had a full view of her deep cleavage. Auntie Wang''s figure was really nice, but she was just too ferocious. "I got it, Auntie Wang." Seeing how obedient Li Zhiyan was, Wang Shangyan happily ced his hand on her silk-stockinged legs. On the other side, Rao Shi Yun, who was determined to keep her distance from Li Zhiyan, could no longer control her jealousy. She also grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand and ced it on her plump and fair legs. Feeling the two different styles of legs, Li Zhiyan''s heart was brimming with pleasure. The sensation of silk-stockinged legs was great, but Auntie Rao''s plump legs felt warm and more substantial. They were his favorite kind. Across the table, where the drinking was continuous, the two young men Rao Shi Yun had invited for their high tolerance were starting to show signs of struggle. Seeing the two on the brink of their limit, Li Mingzhang, who had drunk a good deal, found it somewhat dull. "If you can''t handle it, I''ll take my leave." Lew Huan and Li Meifeng were both anxious, casting pleading nces at Li Zhiyan. Though Lew Huan disliked Li Zhiyan, he hoped Li Zhiyan could lend a hand. After all, quite a sum had already been invested in the project. Even though he had just seen him touching his wife''s leg, he decided to turn a blind eye and think of him as a child. "Wait a moment, Li." Li Zhiyan spoke up, causing Li Mingzhang, who was about to leave, to pause. This young man sure could drink. "Li, when you were drinking earlier, you kept using ''Journey to the West'' as a reference. I gather you must really enjoy ''Journey to the West.'' I''d like to discuss it with you," Li Zhiyan said. Li Meifeng did not expect Li Zhiyan to talk about ''Journey to the West'' instead of drinking. ''Journey to the West'' is a story known to all. What''s there to discuss? It''s only the stories from the television shows. But to her surprise, Li Mingzhang gestured for Li Zhiyan toe over, clearly interested in discussing ''Journey to the West''! "Young man, you''ve studied ''Journey to the West''?" "Yes, I have read the original text of ''Journey to the West'' and have organized quite a few thoughts on many of its details." This assertion by Li Zhiyan made Li Mingzhang''s eyes light up. A young person had actually read through the original text of ''Journey to the West''? Then, they began to discuss ''Journey to the West,'' and he realised how exceptionally learned the boy was! Some perspectives on ''Journey to the West'' were ones he had never considered! "Actually, those four disciples are not as virtuous as they seem." "The Yellow Lion Demon was actually a good demon." "For years, it never disturbed anyone, didn''t kill, didn''t cause trouble." "It fed itself by purchasing food, and earned money by farming for the peasants!" "Just because it stole a few weapons, it was pursued and exterminated to thest by Sun Wukong. A massacre of its entire n." "In the end, not wishing to live alone, the Yellow Lion Demon resorted to a suicidal attack against Sun Wukong!" "The fate of the Yellow Lion Demon shows that being a demon without backing is no easy task. Evenmitting a single error warrants a catastrophic fate, truly pitiful, much like society today where without connections, it''s incredibly hard to get by." Li Mingzhang was deeply moved; his own career was no less precarious. Having transitioned from a professor in the Chinese Literature Department to a bureaucrat, he had also faced many hardships. "Well said!" "Brother Li, who do you think is the most unfortunate character in ''Journey to the West''?" Li Mingzhang was tipsy and chatting lively, already treating Li Zhiyan as a brother. "The most unfortunate, I think, is the Xingxian, who was killed by Zhu Bajie, who was just eager to earn merits." ``` ``` "In the original text, in the sixty-fourth chapter, not far from the Small Thunderp Monastery, Tang Seng and hispanions entered a temple gate where they were greeted by the local earth deity who offered them food," Li Zhiyan said. "It was during the time when the four tree spirits were entertaining Tang Seng." "The kind and gentle Xingxian appeared." "The tree spirits asked, ''Why has Xingxiane?''" "Xingxian replied, ''I heard there were distinguished guests here and came to pay my respects. I dare to request an audience.''" Rao Shi Yun''s heart was racing; she had not expected Li Zhiyan to understand Journey to the West so profoundly! She had thought Journey to the West wasmon knowledge, but now she found herself feeling as if she understood nothing. In front of Xiao Yan, she felt so ignorant. The piece of watermelon in Wang Shangyan''s hand froze there. To be able to discuss so deeply with someone who was formerly a professor of Chinese literature! And this child, he could even remember the original text of Journey to the West! What a talent. Indeed, a young person with great potential is a genius everywhere. Li Zhiyan continued, "That night, the five tree spiritsposed poetry with Tang Seng until morning." "Looking at the handsome Tang Seng and the beautiful Xingxian, the four of them nned to matchmake Tang Seng and Xingxian in marriage." "Xingxian had never harmed anyone; she was naturally kind and gentle, and also quite talented." "But at dawn," "Sun Wukong arrived." "With just a shout, he scared away the tree spirits and Xingxian." "Tang Seng told Sun Wukong and the others about everything that happened the night before. They then found next to them arge cypress tree, an old cypress, an old pine, an old bamboo, and behind the bamboo, a red maple. Looking toward the cliff, there was also an old apricot tree, two wax plum trees, and two cinnamon trees." Li Mingzhang listened with rapt attention. Wang Shangyan''s heart couldn''t calm down; Li Zhiyan could even remember the types of demons¡ªhow deeply he must have studied! This kid, only 18 years old, how could he be so erudite? "The original text goes like this, ''Zhu Bajie, upon hearing this, not discerning good from bad, swung his rake haphazardly. With a few long swings,bining thrust and chop, he brought down two wax plum trees, cinnamon trees, the old apricot tree, and the red maple, until blood flowed freely from their roots. Only after raking over each one thoroughly and ensuring their demise, did they leave confidently!''" "Zhu Bajie, I must say, is the character I dislike the most. He''s entirely different from the one in the 1986 version of Journey to the West," Li Zhiyan expressed. Li Mingzhang said excitedly, "Well said!" "Little brother Li,e, let''s have a drink together." Li Zhiyan didn''t hesitate and had a drink with Li Mingzhang. "By the way, little brother Li, have you ever researched the issue of the celestial tribtion that urs every five hundred years in Journey to the West?" "There are so many people in Buddhism, how did they say they survived the five-hundred-year celestial tribtion before the events of Journey to the West?" "Under normal circumstances, Buddhism should not have the means to withstand the celestial tribtion and should have been extinct." "Li Mingzhang, I have indeed studied this question," Li Zhiyan replied. "There are many methods tobat celestial tribtion in Journey to the West." "Aside from peaches and Ginseng Fruit," "There are two other methods depicted in the original text." "For instance, the Star of Longevity, he sneakily sent his mount down to the human world to steal the hearts and livers of children for consumption or for alchemy, as a method of extending life." "Then there''s Guanyin, who secretly sent the fish in her pond to the human realm to find boy and girl virgins, which likely has something to do with extending life." Li Mingzhang mmed his hand on the table. "Now that you mention it, I realize that there isn''t a single good deity in the celestial realm!" "That''s correct. And the means by which Buddhism survived the celestial tribtions was probably by eating the flesh of Golden Cicada," Li Zhiyan stated. "In Shutuo Kingdom, the Dapeng Bird said not to scare Tang Seng." "Tang Seng couldn''t withstand fright; if scared, his flesh would sour and be inedible." "They could only proceed when the sky was cloudy and there was leisure time." "Eating Tang Seng required steaming him. To take him as he was, clean and prepare him, tenderly blowing on and tenderizing his flesh before eating." "Consuming Tang Seng involved steaming a live person." "The Dapeng Bird spoke with such experience that it was clear he had eaten Tang Seng''s flesh before." Li Mingzhang felt a shiver run down his spine. "Indeed, how could I have overlooked so many details before!" "But with Buddhism having as many as eight hundred arhats, one Golden Cicada doesn''t seem to be enough for all of them." Listening to their conversation, Wang Shangyan grew increasingly restless. How could this child possess such profound knowledge? ``` Chapter 86: 076 Rao Shi Yuns Response Wang Shangyan couldn''t understand why someone could be so exceptional. The Li Zhiyan before her was even intimately familiar with the original text of the Journey to the West. Then looking at her own son, byparison, he wasn''t even worth mentioning. Li Zhiyan really was the man of her dreams. "This is simple, the Golden Cicada reincarnated over and over under the arrangement of the Buddha." "And whenever he reincarnated and reached the age of 15, he would be sent to Mount Ling." "Then let all the Buddhas share his flesh." "It was precisely because of this that the people of the Western Heaven were able to pass through the celestial tribtions." The more Li Mingzhang chatted, the more energized he became. He used to think that drinking was the most enjoyable thing in the world, but now he found that chatting with Li Zhiyan about the Journey to the West was the most interesting! "Brother Li, let''s talk about Zhen Yuanzi." "Sure!" Li Zhiyan spoke eloquently, constantly chatting with Li Mingzhang and bringing up his own new ideas. Because it involved a lot of the original text, Li Zhiyan''s points sounded very persuasive. The two of them just kept talking while the others listened to their discussion about the Journey to the West, unable to get a word in. By the time it was past ten o''clock. Li Mingzhang, seeing it was about time, said regretfully, "Brother Li, it''s about time for today. I really regret not meeting you sooner. Don''t worry, for the project matter, just have someonee to my office tomorrow to talk." "We must exchange mobile numbers; we''ll have a proper chat about the Journey to the West another day!" Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn''t miss such an opportunity to broaden hiswork. He decisively exchanged phone numbers with Li Mingzhang, apanying him to the hotel entrance and watching him get into the Audi A6''s chauffeured car. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, the task was finally in the bag, and next was figuring out how to charm Auntie Rao. "Li Zhiyan, thank you so much. I have to give you a big red envelope with twenty thousand yuan in it!" "Without you, this would have been hopeless!" At that moment, Li Meifeng was very excited, realizing that inviting Li Zhiyan to this drink gathering was the right choice! Envy nearly spilled from Lew Huan''s eyes as his sense of crisis intensified. He felt that not only did Rao Shi Yun have no chance, but his own wife might also end up pregnant for him. "Xiao Yan, let''s add each other on QQ." "Auntie also wants to chat with you online about the Journey to the West." It was gettingte, and Wang Shangyan needed to head home. After today''s events, she truly felt reluctant to part with Li Zhiyan. She really wanted to have a deep conversation with this young man. Get to know him back and forth properly. "Sure, Auntie Wang, I''ll add you on QQ." As Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan exchanged QQ details, Rao Shi Yun felt another surge of jealousy, reminiscent of when she herself had exchanged QQ details with Li Zhiyan. She felt an uncontroble hostility toward Wang Shangyan. After Wang Shangyan and Lew Huan left, Li Meifeng voluntarily said, "I''ll take a cab, you guys talk!" She had always wanted to see Li Zhiyan date either Rao Shi Yun or Gu Wanzhou, so when she had the chance, she would stir things up, now naturally vanishing on her own ord. Of course, now Li Meifeng thought, if Li Zhiyan and Wang Shangyan ended up going to a hotel room, that would seem quite aesthetic too! ... "Xiao Yan, let Auntie take you home." Since she hadn''t drunk any alcohol, Rao Shi Yun could actually drive. "Auntie Rao," "I''d like to take a walk. Could you apany me?" Thest part of the task was still missing, embracing Auntie Rao''s waist for a minute. This was very important, as it was rted to the title of King of the Wheel. He had toplete the task today, even if it meant being forceful. After all, he did want to move around freely in all directions. "Alright, Xiao Yan." In the suburbs of Wancheng, the area had be deste by this time, the dim streetlights and the summertime cicadas intermingled, giving Li Zhiyan a sense of the allure of the summers from ten years ago. On the street, a young man and a mature woman walked shoulder to shoulder. "Auntie Rao, do you dislike me now?" "What did I do wrong that made you so annoyed with me?" Rao Shi Yun''s heart ached. Indeed, this child was very sensitive. How could a child from a single-parent family not be sensitive and fragile? "Xiao Yan, Auntie has never been annoyed with you." "Moreover, Auntie really likes you a lot. I have never liked a child so much over the years." Rao Shi Yun gently took Li Zhiyan''s hand. "It''s just¡­" "It''s just that Auntie will hurt you." Rao Shi Yun felt somewhat at a loss to exin her recent coldness towards Li Zhiyan. "Anyway, just remember that Auntie really likes you, that''s all." Li Zhiyan nodded gently. "I understand, Auntie." The two of them held hands, and it was Rao Shi Yun who took the initiative! Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn''t let go, the ambiguous atmosphere was advantageous for making his uing requests. "Xiao Yan, the Journey to the West you talked about today, how long have you been studying it?" "Auntie Rao, when I have free time at the inte cafe learning programming, I also take the chance to read the original text of Journey to the West. That''s how I know so much about it." Rao Shi Yun''s affection for Li Zhiyan deepened even more. This child was not only a genius but also hardworking and diligent. She thought about how Li Zhiyan had made a Chinese literature professor nod in agreement repeatedly. There was still a hint of fascination shing through Rao Shi Yun''s beautiful eyes. "I really need to thank you for today. If it wasn''t for your extensive knowledge¡­" "It would have been impossible to acquire the project paperwork." "I don''t know how to express my gratitude to you." "Xiao Yan, do you have any wishes?" Li Zhiyan knew his opportunity had arrived. "I want to hug you, Auntie. I missed you so much. You haven''te to see me much recently." Rao Shi Yun felt a pang of sourness in her heart, then nodded. It was just a hug, nothing more. With Auntie Rao''s permission, Li Zhiyan opened his arms and then wrapped them around Rao Shi Yun''s waist. After pressing close to Auntie Rao, Li Zhiyan savored the D+ warmth with their faces touching. Li Zhiyan could distinctly feel Auntie Rao''s breath on him. He rested his head on Rao Shi Yun''s shoulder and, after a minute, hepletely rxed. The mission was finallyplete! He drew back his head, but at that moment, Li Zhiyan still didn''t wish to let go of Auntie Rao''s waist. Auntie Rao''s waist was just too soft. How good it would be if he could hug her from behind. But now, that was clearly impossible. Auntie Rao and her ex-husband shared twenty years of feelings, and she was thinking of getting back together with him. "Auntie Rao, your face is all red. It looks really pretty¡­" As he looked at Rao Shi Yun''s blushing face, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but praise her. At this moment, his hormones surged too. The beautiful Auntie Rao was in his arms, and all he had to do was look down to see an endless chasm. His nostrils filled with the mature scent emanating from Auntie Rao. How could Li Zhiyan, a vigorous young man, possibly hold back? "Auntie Rao, that kissing technique you taught mest time, I want to review it." Then, Li Zhiyan kissed Rao Shi Yun''s face greedily and moved on to her red lips. "Xiao Yan...don''t..." "Mm¡­" Rao Shi Yun had no time to resist before Li Zhiyan invaded her mouth. A sudden kiss made Rao Shi Yun subconsciously respond to Li Zhiyan. This child, how annoying he was. They had agreed on just a hug, and after hugging for so long without a word, she had assumed nothing would happen. She didn''t expect him to suddenly kiss her. Husband, I''m sorry¡­ Chapter 87: 077 Auntie Rao, Im sorry, I... "Xiao Yan, we can''t do this..." "We shouldn''t..." "Wuwu..." "Auntie is a married woman." At that moment, Rao Shi Yun still possessed quite a bit of rationality, but subconsciously, her tongue was responding to Li Zhiyan''s kiss. The things she had taught Li Zhiyan before, this kid had learned extremely well now. "I''m already divorced, so we can..." "Auntie Rao, my kissing..." "You taught me, you have to be responsible for checking it." Li Zhiyan''s speech was muffled, but he didn''t want to talk anymore at that moment. As for Auntie Rao''s words about having a husband, they were only nning to remarry at the end of the year. But since they hadn''t remarried yet, there was no problem with him kissing Auntie Rao. Under the streetmp, the scene of that night was reying. It took who knows how long before Rao Shi Yun finally made up her mind and pushed Li Zhiyan away. "Xiao Yan, you''ve gone too far." Rao Shi Yun turned and walked towards the distance, her heart filled with guilt towards her husband. They had agreed on remarrying, and they were supposed to meet first in a while. Thest time could be excused; she was drunk and ended up kissing Li Zhiyan, even actively teaching him how to kiss. But this time, she was clearly sober. Yet she still kissed Li Zhiyan for so long, andter, even took the initiative to look for him. "Auntie Rao, I''m sorry, you''re too beautiful, I couldn''t resist." "At first, I just missed you, so I wanted to hug you." "But what I didn''t expect was, when I saw your mouth, I thought of the previous scene where you taught me to kiss, so I couldn''t resist." "Auntie Rao, I''m sorry..." "I really couldn''t resist, you''re too beautiful, I like you too much." Li Zhiyan kept apologizing to Rao Shi Yun, not wanting any gap between them. After all, his heart truly liked Rao Shi Yun very much. Stopping in her tracks and looking at the very sincere Li Zhiyan, Rao Shi Yun sighed deeply. In this matter, she was not without fault. If she hadn''t gone too far that time, teaching Li Zhiyan so earnestly, how would he have such instinctive thoughts. "Xiao Yan, it''s not your fault, it''s Auntie who made the mistake initially." "You''re just an 18-year-old kid, and Auntie taught you to kiss, leading you astray." "It''s Auntie who''s sorry." "Don''t do this again." "We are 24 years apart in age; we could be mother and son." "Besides, Auntie is a married woman, do you understand?" After Li Zhiyan nodded, Rao Shi Yun spoke somewhat helplessly: "Come on, Auntie will take you home." She realized she really couldn''t handle Li Zhiyan; she could cut ties with anyone else, but Li Zhiyan was different. Although she hadn''t known him for a long time, their rtionship was very deep, and her heart truly found it hard to leave this kid. The following journey was very quiet until they reached Li Zhiyan''s apartmentplex. Then Rao Shi Yun got out of the car and said goodbye to Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, rest well." "Mm, Auntie Rao, you should rest early too." When Li Zhiyan wanted to give Rao Shi Yun a parting hug, she subconsciously felt very nervous. This kid, he wouldn''t try to kiss her again, would he? But luckily, this time Li Zhiyan didn''t do anything excessive. ... Once home and after greeting his mom, Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to open the system. The system rewards had already been credited. Now he had a total of 360,000 in savings, only 640,000 shy of a millionaire. "So much money, it''s almost enough for an Audi A6, university life is definitely going to be a lot more exciting." Of course, Li Zhiyan wasn''t focused on the money. What he cared about was the title of King of the Wheel. He worked hard on tasks mainly to im this title, which was much more formidable than merely fifty thousand bucks. "Can I spin the wheel now..." Li Zhiyan thought for a moment, collected all his high school textbooks and materials, and tied them up with a rope. After trying, sure enough, everything was exactly as he imagined. "The King of the Wheel is really defying the heavens; no wonder Zhao Ji would do something as foolish as that." On the other hand, Rao Shi Yun was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She had actually kissed Li Zhiyan again today. Xiao Yan was very respectful to her. If she had firmly pushed him away, there wouldn''t have been anything after, but she didn''t push him away. Does that mean that deep down she really wanted to kiss Li Zhiyan? The kid, his techniques were really mature now, so much so that she was reluctant to part, which was why she kissed him for so long. She had taught him well, and he hadpletely mastered everything. ... Not just Rao Shi Yun, but Wang Shangyan was also having a sleepless night. She couldn''t forget when she pulled Li Zhiyan''s hand, it seemed like she inadvertently touched something. It was truly frightening. Compared to her husband, it was really nothing. "In this world, is there really a kid this excellent?" "Even able to recite the original text of Journey to the West and speak French..." "And moreover, he''s so astonishing." Thinking of the frightening aspects of Li Zhiyan, she felt a wave of emotional disturbance. Chapter 88: 077 Auntie Rao, Im sorry, I..._2 At this moment, a knock on the door sounded. "Wife, let''s exercise tonight," Lew Huan said. Ever since Lew Huan got his head split open thest time, he hadn''t done much until now, and he was indeed feeling somewhat ufortable. "We''re already divorced, get lost!" Wang Shangyan had been feeling lonely over this period. She was supposed to give in after some persuasion tonight, and although she found Lew Huan disgusting, such matters are normal human needs. If deprived of them for a long time, one would certainly yearn. But uponparing her ex-husband to Li Zhiyan, Wang Shangyan felt a sense of dullness in her heart. She''d rather ride in a Maybach once than in a Passat ten times. Lew Huan was left helplessly outside the door; he could have entered, but he knew that if his wife was unwilling, he could never force her. The scar on his own head was proof enough, and then the image of that kid Li Zhiyan touching his wife''s leg came to his mind. He felt annoyed just thinking about it, but the infuriating part was that it had been his wife who had actively ced his hand on her leg. ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he thought about taking his mom to see his inte caf¨¦. What he didn''t expect was to run into his mother''s best friend, Wu Qingxian, as soon as he left his house. This attractive mature woman who had almost be his godmother. "Auntie Wu, you''vee so early," he said. "Yes, I was nning to go shopping with your mom, but she said you had something for her today, so I came over to have a look," she replied. Li Zhiyan knew that his mother wasn''t someone who liked to show off, so she certainly wouldn''t have told Wu Qingxian about him owning an inte caf¨¦. "Rongrong, you still haven''t told me, what''s the matter? Is this kid nning to give you a gift?" Wu Qingxian asked. Zhou Rongrong initially didn''t want to reveal this, but with Wu Qingxian paying her a visit today, she knew it couldn''t be hidden. It was better to tell her straight away. "My son doesn''t want me to work overtime, so he''s taking me to check out his inte caf¨¦. He''s opened one himself," she exined. Zhou Rongrongpletely believed in her son because she knew he wouldn''t lie to her. If he said he''d bought an inte caf¨¦, then there must indeed be one. "What? Xiao Yan has opened his own inte caf¨¦?" Wu Qingxian couldn''t believe her ears. It wasn''t until after lunch, when all three of them arrived at the Brotherhood Inte Caf¨¦, that she slowly regained herposure. Xiao Yan was only eighteen, yet he already owned such an inte caf¨¦, and its business was booming. When Li Zhiyan brought people over, Li Shiyu warmly greeted them. "You y your games, I''ll show my mom and aunt around," Li Zhiyan said. Li Shiyu put on a smile and then sat back down to continue ying his game. "Son, your inte caf¨¦''s business is doing so well," his mother noted. Once on the second floor, Zhou Rongrong was even more astonished. Such arge inte caf¨¦ was not only packed on the first floor but also fully upied on the second floor. "Xiao Yan, how much money does your inte caf¨¦ make a month? With so many people, it must be tens of thousands," Wu Qingxian said with envious eyes, thinking about her son who only went to inte caf¨¦s to y games after finishing his college entrance exams, doing nothing else, while Li Zhiyan now owned his caf¨¦. "Comparisons are odious, as the saying goes," she mused. They were all in their teens, yet the difference between them was vast. "It does indeed make tens of thousands a month," Li Zhiyan admitted. The inte caf¨¦''s business was evident to the naked eye, so there was no point in hiding it, and he had brought his mother here precisely to show her he was making good money and didn''t want her working overtime. His mother wasn''t one to stick to outdated principles. Knowing his financial capabilities, she would certainly not tire herself out for a few extra bucks of overtime pay each day. He truly didn''t want his mother''s beautiful face to age from workingte nights. "Xiao Yan, you''re really impressive. It''s a pity I didn''t be your godmother back then," Wu Qingxian said as she hugged Li Zhiyan. In this moment, Li Zhiyan also felt the warmth of Auntie Wu''s embrace, surprised to find her bosom wasparable to Auntie Rao''s. It was true one couldn''t tell by sight alone; some things needed to be personally experienced to be understood. "Okay, Auntie Wu, don''t squeeze too hard. I''m having trouble breathing, and there should be a distinction between men and women," he protested. He had deep affection for this friend of his mother''s. "You''re the child I watched grow up. I''ve even yed with your noodle when you were little," she reminisced. "And here you are, talking about distinctions between men and women with me," she teased. "Are you feeling shy?" As she spoke, she held his face and kissed him several times back and forth. "Feeling shy? Let auntie kiss you a few more times," she dered. But as she continued, Wu Qingxian identally kissed Li Zhiyan on the lips, causing her pretty face to flush. Did the child just instinctively stick out his tongue? It looked like he had experience with kissing women. "Alright, Qingxian, my son is shy, let''s not tease him anymore," Zhou Rongrong said protectively. "Let''s go shopping," she suggested. Zhou Rongrong was naturally protective of her son, worrying that her friend might embarrass him. After all, her son was of age, and there were many things he was capable of doing now. Chapter 89: 077 Auntie Rao, Im sorry, I..._3 ``` "Alright, I know you care about your son, Rongrong. You don''t have to keep thinking about working overtime to earn money this time." ``` ``` "Given the business situation of your son''s inte cafe." ``` ``` "Buying an apartment is definitely possible; you just need to enjoy your normal job without the need for overtime." ``` Zhou Rongrong also caught the envy in her best friend''s voice. ``` "Um, Xiao Yan, Mom knows why you asked me toe today, don''t worry. I''ll just work my regr hours at thepany, I absolutely won''t work overtime." ``` ``` "You can count on it." ``` Under the current circumstances, her son was able to earn so much money, and he even made money through programming. Earning that little bit of overtime pay really was meaningless. A weight also lifted from Li Zhiyan''s mind. After watching his mom and Wu Qingxian leave, Li Zhiyan felt a bit restless looking at Wu Auntie''s retreating figure. Wu Auntie was really beautiful, too. In his previous life, he hadn''t paid attention to so many things. ... A few dayster, something happened that Li Zhiyan found somewhat surprising. Wang Xinyue came directly to Brotherhood Inte Cafe to look for him, and she seemed much gentler than before. "Li Zhiyan, could you y Audition with me?" After turning on aputer and sitting next to Li Zhiyan, Wang Xinyue''s eyes shone with anticipation. She wanted to cling to Li Zhiyan''s coattails; after all, he was from a wealthy generation. As for Li Shiyu''s feelings, she didn''t care at all. Of course, Li Shiyu ¨C who had awakened the identity of Bath Emperor ¨C didn''t care about Wang Xinyue anymore. If she couldn''t win your favor, there were plenty of stylists to fawn over me. "I''m not interested in Audition." Looking at the unimpressive figure of Wang Xinyue, Li Zhiyan trulycked any interest. He felt it was just dull... "Are you ying CrossFire? I can register an ount and y with you." Wang Xinyue''s enthusiasm made Li Zhiyan feel a bit ufortable. If she were here every day, he would lose the mood to live his carefree lifestyle. Shortly after, Wang Xinyue took the initiative to register and log in. She had gone this far, so Li Zhiyan didn''t want to outright reject her. "By the way, Li Zhiyan, I always feel like the ss monitor''s situation seems a bit off." "Recently he''s be very extravagant." "He took a few ssmates and his friends to a big restaurant for dinner." "In one evening, he spent over three thousand yuan. He said his dad made a lot of money." "But I always feel like he''s lying." Li Zhiyan was also surprised; he hadn''t expected Liu Yaolong''s spending to be so wild. To spend three thousand yuan on a meal in one evening? Even with 360,000 yuan in savings, he didn''t dare act so recklessly, unless it was necessary. Normally, his meals cost just around ten or twenty yuan. Unless one day he became a billionaire and truly didn''t care about the money, spending thousands on a meal might be routine. "The ss monitor is indeed wild." Wang Xinyue nodded her head. "Mhm, I think he''s so hypocritical, always trying to chase after me." "I think you''re more awesome." Listening to the ceaseless ttery, Liu Yaolong, who had already awakened to his reality, silently mocked the ss monitor in his heart. What''s the use of groveling before a goddess all the time? In the end, wasn''t his goddess acting like a fawning dog towards Brother Yan? This was the disparity in life. Brother Yan was amazing, they yed with the transport ship together, and Wang Xinyue would asionally pretend to be dumb and cute. To her disappointment, Li Zhiyan hardly paid her any attention. After a while, the system issued another task. ncing at it, he knew it was Liu Yaolong sending his mom over again. Li Zhiyan became more convinced that whenever the system issued a task, something would happen, and it was rted to what he had been thinking about. "Due to ss Monitor Liu Yaolong''s excessive consumption." "The ten thousand yuan he got from his mom has been spent." "Next, he ns to ask his mom for money under a different pretext." "A desperate Fang Zhiya will think of borrowing money from you again." "Please lend Fang Zhiya ten thousand yuan." "And try to figure out a way to kiss Fang Zhiya." "Task reward: fifty thousand yuan in cash." A reward of fifty thousand yuan made Li Zhiyan pause. But he quickly realized that this money wasn''t easy to get. Aunt Fang was too traditional at heart. Thest time he touched her leg, she struggled internally for a long time before letting him do it. Kissing would be even harder than reaching the heavens. It seemed he had to use the same trick again, and as he thought about it, Li Zhiyan had an idea in his mind. ... In the evening, Liu Yaolong lit thest cigarette from his pack before returning to his friend''s house. "Xiaolong, lend me a thousand yuan, please." Su Xiaolong''s expression wasn''t good. He used to regard Liu Yaolong as a friend, but now, Liu Yaolong had been staying in his house for far too long, and had borrowed several thousand yuan without paying it back. Thinking about it made him feel disgusted. "I''m out of money too, but I can find a way to get you five thousand yuan." "Here''s the deal: you take a few private photos of your aunt for me." "I''ll lend you the money¡ªmy word is my bond. How about it?" Liu Yaolong didn''t respond. He was willing to take photos of his mother, but what if he were caught? His mother would probably stab him with a knife based on her character. "What are you talking about? That''s my mom. If you won''t lend me the money, then forget it." Su Xiaolong wasn''t in a rush. "Thene to me when you really need to borrow money. I can keep my promise anytime. Of course, if you can find a way to slip your mom a drug or something." ``` Chapter 90: 077 Auntie Rao, Im sorry, I..._4 "I couldn''t agree more." "If that''s the case, not to mention five thousand, I''d lend you fifty thousand." Hearing about fifty thousand yuan, Liu Yaolong licked his lips, the greed in his eyes unmistakable. With so much money, he could pretend to be wealthy for quite a while. College was about to start, and he was contemting how to y the role of a rich second-generation student. If he had fifty thousand yuan, things would be different. But he quickly came to his senses. "Stop talking nonsense, she''s my biological mother. I''m sparing you because you''re my brother, but if you keep spouting nonsense, I''ll really beat you up." Liu Yaolong gave a warning look. However, it was quite obvious that Su Xiaolong didn''t take it seriously; he knew his good friend well. Sooner orter, he woulde to him for medicine. He had visited his house before and had not forgotten about the delicate Aunt Fang until now. Now that such an opportunity had presented itself, how could he let it slip away? Everyone else was now avoiding Liu Yaolong, but he was the only one taking him in, providing him with food and drink, and even lending him money, all for what? It was all for his stunning mature mother. That woman didn''t look like much outside, but at home, she didn''t bind herself with cloth. Such a slender body yet with a 36D bust, the contrast. It was maddening, a 160 cm tall woman with such a figure was truly miraculous. "Anyway, you cane to me when you''ve thought it through." "I''m going to take a shower." Watching his friend head to the bathroom, Liu Yaolong was truly tempted at that moment, but he still had principles; under the current circumstances, he just couldn''t do such things. "Mom should still have some money. Our family used to have so much money; it''s impossible that we''re left with no cash at all." "I''ll call her again..." In the past, he had never tried to present himself as a rich second generation, so his expenses weren''t big. But now that the boast had been made, his dad had made big money. Without money, how could he maintain his pretense! Nervous, he dialed his mother Fang Zhiya''s number. "Hello, Mom." "Son, how''s your ss going?" Fang Zhiya didn''t understand these things, and at this moment, all she cared about was her son''s studies. "Mom, I''ve learned a lot of useful things." "You can rest assured." "Good, that''s good to hear." Fang Zhiya sounded quite happy. No matter what, Liu Yaolong was her only son. As long as he could find his way back and strive for improvement, she would forgive him. Even though her son was far from being Li Zhiyan. As long as her son was on the right track, she would be content. "Mom is hoping that one day you can stand out, grow up and make something of yourself. Recently, the business at my noodle stall has been good. You just focus on your studies; Mom has prepared for your tuition fees." For a moment, Liu Yaolong''s throat tightened with emotion; in this world, his mother loved him the most. Maybe he should juste clean to his mother and study diligently from now on. "Mom." But as the words reached the tip of his tongue, he found he couldn''t say them. No, if he came clean, he wouldpletely lose his chance at maintaining his rich second-generation persona. "Mom, it''s like this: my grades in ss are particrly good." "So the tutor wants me to join an advanced ss. That way, I can get my certificate faster, and I''ll be able to work part-time to support myself during university." As he spoke, Liu Yaolong''s resolve hardened. This was the most important thing right now; first, he needed to get the money. He hadn''t won over Wang Xinyue yet. "It''s going to cost another ten thousand yuan." "Yes, Mom, it''s a great opportunity for me to improve myself." "Okay, Mom will figure out a way to transfer it to your bank ount." After hanging up the phone, Fang Zhiya''s head began to ache. She opened the cash box of her noodle stall, where two hundred-yuan billsy. The rest were three fifties and a handful of assorted change. Seeing the somewhatcking business, she didn''t know how to help her son get hold of the ten thousand yuan, but thinking of her son being able to work part-time and support himself, Fang Zhiya felt she should help him get the money. She couldn''t count on those friends anymore; when she had called to borrow money before, they all made excuses, and some even blocked her. If it came to borrowing money, only Xiao Yan was willing to lend it to her, but he was a junior. It had already been difficult when he lent her ten thousand yuan before; she couldn''t ask him again. She already owed Li Zhiyan a lot. As she worried, she saw from a distance Li Zhiyan walking towards her stall. "Aunt Fang!" Li Zhiyan''s waving figure made Fang Zhiya feel an involuntary sense of happiness. This child, so good, she missed him... Chapter 93: 080 Sweltering Heat, Hormones in the Rental Room The task of borrowing money this time was easy to aplish. He only needed to lend out twenty thousand yuan. However, Li Zhiyan also wanted to take this opportunity to make some progress with Aunt Fang. He had missed out on too much motherly affection in his childhood, and he needed to reim it. Aunt Fang could definitely provide him with a fulfilling portion. Although she might not be able to overfeed him like Auntie Rao, he was certainly satisfied. ¡­ The following two days were calm and uneventful. Li Zhiyan had been ying games in the inte caf¨¦ with Li Shiyu until the system-triggered event finally happened. It was while Li Zhiyan was chatting with his master in the inte caf¨¦. Fang Zhiya''s phone call came through. "Xiao Yan¡­" The anxiety in her voice was crystal clear to Li Zhiyan. Clearly, the ss monitor had scared her. It seemed that the ss monitor was indeed a little devil when it came to lying, which Li Zhiyan found amusing. But the ss monitor truly deserved to be struck by lightning. "Aunt Fang, what''s wrong? Please, take your time," Li Zhiyan said. Admiration filled Li Shiyu''s eyes standing nearby. Brother Yan was so awesome that he must have demolished his enemy''s crystal by now. Standing in the fountain taunting was the ultimate gaming experience. ¡­ "Xiao Yan, this is what happened," she started. "Yao Long identally crashed into someone''s BMW while riding his bike outside." "The other party detained him and demanded twenty thousand yuan." "If we don''t pay, they are going to send him to prison." "Auntie is really out of options now." "I can''t borrow the money, Auntie feels very embarrassed, but now you''re the only one who can help me," Aunt Fang said. In her rental room, Fang Zhiya was increasingly realizing the worth of Li Zhiyan. When everyone else shunned her like she was a gue, it was only Li Zhiyan who appeared to save her in her most desperate time. He even lent her twenty thousand yuan consecutively. "Aunt Fang, I will transfer the money to you right away." "Wait for me, I wille to your house shortly," Li Zhiyan promised. After transferring the money, the mission wasplete, and Li Zhiyan''s savings sessfully reached 430 thousand yuan. "Take care of the inte caf¨¦," he instructed. "I got it, Brother Yan. Don''t worry," Li Shiyu replied. ¡­ Upon arriving at Fang Zhiya''s house and knocking on the door, he saw Aunt Fang with swelling red eyes. Clearly, Aunt Fang had been crying, which made Li Zhiyan''s heart ache a bit. "Aunt Fang, are you okay?" he asked. "I''m fine¡­ Xiao Yan, thank you so much. If it hadn''t been for you, Auntie wouldn''t know what to do," she expressed her gratitude. "The matter at hand is important. Aunt Fang, let''s go to the bank now," Li Zhiyan suggested. "Once we''ve transferred the money to the ss monitor, this will all be over," he added. "Okay¡­" Fang Zhiya hurriedly put on shoes and followed Li Zhiyan out the door, heading straight for the bank. When they left the bank, Fang Zhiya''s shirt waspletely soaked in sweat, the weather truly hot. Li Zhiyan bought two bottles of ice-cold mineral water from across the road and handed one to Aunt Fang. "Aunt Fang, it''s okay," heforted her. "Don''t worry about the ss monitor anymore," he reassured. "Hmm¡­" Right then, Liu Yaolong''s phone call came in. "Mom, the money has been deposited. I''m going now to negotiate and settle this with the elder brother. Don''t worry about me," he informed her. "Ah¡­" Fang Zhiya took a deep breath of relief, her gaze fixed on Li Zhiyan who had been running around with her, who, without a second thought, lent her tens of thousands of yuan. Her heart was once again filled with overwhelming emotion. This child is really too good, too good. "Xiao Yan, I can''t thank you enough." "I will definitely pay you back this money." Li Zhiyan had never doubted that Aunt Fang would repay the money, but he wasn''t in a rush about it, since he wasn''t short of cash. The priority was for Aunt Fang to get through her current difficulties first. "Aunt Fang, let''s go back to the rental and sit in front of the fan," he suggested. "The weather outside is way too hot, the rental is morefortable." As he spoke... Li Zhiyan''s thoughts drifted back to the sensual tales previously recounted about the rental, indeed, it was a ce that easily stirred the imagination, its confined spaces just so. "Okay." "Let''s head back first." Fang Zhiya wiped the sweat from her forehead, her body feeling somewhat weak as she did so. On the other end of the phone, Liu Yaolong felt a burst of dark pleasure. He hadn''t expected to so easily get his hands on twenty thousand yuan again. It seemed there was quite a stash with his mother. The poverty she showed him must have been an act. Indeed, his father''s business had been doing extremely well in the past, dealing in sums of tens and hundreds of thousands. It was impossible for there not to be some fallback after his father''s imprisonment; his mother definitely had money. If that was the case, then he wouldn''t hold back. In a few days, he would continue to look for excuses to ask his mother for money. When he had enough... ...he could unt his wealth around the university campus after the semester started, asionally renting a luxury car to show off at school. Right now, Liu Yaolong''s mind was filled with bright visions for the future. ¡­ Back at the rental, the abusive couple was not present. Li Zhiyan surmised that thest time the abusive husband hade back in broad daylight was probably because they couldn''t hold back after a rtive''s visit and had to return home to vent their violence. After closing the door, the two of them moved closer to the fan to enjoy the breeze. Li Zhiyan could smell the faint scent of Fang Zhiya; it seemed that no matter the time, her scent was always pleasant. "Aunt Fang," "if something happens in the future, please talk to me first. Don''t keep it to yourself, alright?" "I''m really worried about you now." "If anything happens to you, I wouldn''t be able to take it." "You''re a very, very important person to me." Fang Zhiya hummed softly, deeply touched. The two sat on small stools blowing in the fan''s breeze, and after about fifteen minutes, the summer heat began to slowly dissipate. Inadvertently, Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya found their gazes interlocking. Fang Zhiya''s face slowly reddened, her heartbeat quickening significantly. Why had she never thought of this child as a man before? Now looking at him, he was indeed getting more handsome, and she couldn''t help but see him as a man. As a man who could impregnate her. The memory of their previous kiss surfaced in her mind. Shame flooded her, and Fang Zhiya felt increasingly disgraceful. At 41, she was still entertaining thoughts of kissing an 18-year-old boy. "Aunt Fang..." "May I continue to kiss you?" "No... it really isn''t right. Before, it was to teach you," "to let you know what kissing a woman feels like, not to let you have wild thoughts. I''m 23 years older than you; we shouldn''t kiss anymore." "Aunt Fang, you''ve already taught me once, teaching me again wouldn''t really matter, please..." "Let me kiss you one more time, alright?" As he spoke, he didn''t wait for Fang Zhiya to refuse but kissed her red lips directly. "Mmm..." "Xiao Yan..." Fang Zhiya was toote to resist; as Li Zhiyan''s kiss invaded her, shepletely melted and began to respond to his kiss. Chapter 92: 079 Kiss in the Dark Corner [Bonus chapter for 470 monthly votes] Thinking about kissing Li Zhiyan in such a crowded ce. Fang Zhiya''s heart raced. Originally, she would never have agreed to kiss Li Zhiyan in such a ce. But then she thought about how pitiful Li Zhiyan was and that he had never kissed a woman before, so she agreed to it. This child must be really repressed, so he must be quite impatient, right? "Aunt Fang, let''s go over to that corner." "But, what about this stall¡­" "We don''t have any customers right now anyway, so let''s forget about the stall." As he walked toward the corner holding Fang Zhiya''s hand, Li Zhiyan felt a bit regretful. "Aunt Fang, I want to touch your leg while we kiss, but it''s a pity you always wear long pants when you''re outside." Li Zhiyan''s words reminded Fang Zhiya of the short skirt he had given her, a skirt so short it really couldn''t be worn outside and could only be worn inside the rental when at home. "Xiao Yan, don''t think of me as a woman, think of me as an elder." "You must remember, Aunt is just letting you experience the feeling of kissing a woman, to understand what it''s like, okay?" "This is just a form of education." Afterward, Fang Zhiya added another sentence to justify herself. Since she was already divorced from Liu Jiannan, the guilt in Fang Zhiya''s heart had diminished considerably. Being temporarily unmarried, teaching a younger person how to kiss, that''s not really a big deal, is it? She repeatedly deceived herself in her mind. The two of them had already reached the corner Li Zhiyan had chosen. "Aunt Fang..." "I should embrace your waist first, right?" "Otherwise, kissing seems a bit inconvenient." Fang Zhiya could barely hear what Li Zhiyan was saying, feeling so shy. She was supposed to teach Li Zhiyan how to kiss properly. But now her mind was all foggy, and she hadpletely forgotten how to kiss. "Hmm..." She didn''t want Li Zhiyan to hold her waist, after all, there should be a distinction between men and women. But Fang Zhiya also knew very well that without embracing the waist, kissing indeed wouldn''t be convenient. The incessant chirping of cicadas in midsummer filled the air as Li Zhiyan sessfully encircled Aunt Fang''s waist. The sensation of her delicate waist intoxicated Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang, I''m going to start." He slowly kissed Fang Zhiya''s red lips, and her body tensed uppletely. She had intended to educate Li Zhiyan on the matter of the sexes, but now her mind was aplete nk. "Xiao Yan... mmm..." "Is it really okay for us to be doing this?" Fang Zhiya suddenly regretted it. She felt shameless, though she was already divorced. She had agreed to remarry her husband after his release from prison, but now she was kissing Li Zhiyan. Was this considered a betrayal? Li Zhiyan momentarily stopped kissing Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, you''re divorced, there''s nothing wrong with it." "Don''t think too much, this is just for educational purposes, right?" "Although that''s true, but..." Fang Zhiya was unable to finish her sentence before Li Zhiyan kissed her again, and then she could no longer speak; she just passively continued to kiss Li Zhiyan. The two people didn''t know how long they had been kissing, but Fang Zhiya hadpletely copsed into Li Zhiyan''s arms. "Xiao Yan..." "That should be enough, it seems like it has been over twenty minutes." "You know now, what it''s like to kiss a woman." There was a pleading tone in Fang Zhiya''s voice. Kissing in such a ce, even though it was in a corner, but still outdoors, made Fang Zhiya''s heart overly shy. Her extremely traditional values made this genuinely hard for her to ept. "I understand, Aunt Fang. Thank you. Without you, I wouldn''t have known when I would be able to experience this feeling." Listening to Li Zhiyan''s grateful words, Fang Zhiya felt at that moment that her sacrifice waspletely worth it. Now that the child had received education and satisfied his curiosity, he probably wouldn''t think about those odd things or engage in criminal activities anymore. "Xiao Yan, now that Auntie has kissed you, you shouldn''t be curious about these things any longer." "Remember, you should view Auntie as an elder, not as a woman." "Do you understand?" Li Zhiyan nodded earnestly. "I understand, Aunt Fang, don''t worry. In my heart, I truly see you as an elder, with no other thoughts." In the distance, some customers had already started calling for the boss. "Coming!" Aunt Fang let out a sigh of relief and jogged back to her stand. She didn''t know what she would have done if Xiao Yan had suggested they continue to kiss to feel it a bit more. ... That evening, Li Zhiyan returned home, still reminiscing about kissing Aunt Fang and the feeling of it. Aunt Fang, such a traditional woman, had actually kissed him. It felt quite miraculous. "Good thing Aunt Fang is divorced, otherwise she would never have done something like this." After transferring ten thousand yuan, the system task showed aspleted. After this borrowing money task, Li Zhiyan''s savings had sessfully reached four hundred thousand yuan. "Four hundred thousand, only six hundred thousand away from bing a millionaire!" As he wondered when the system would issue the next task, the system, having just settled the reward for the task, unexpectedly issued a new task. "Because Liu Yaolong has been spending recklessly," "the ten thousand yuan is about to be squandered." "He will continue to make excuses to ask Fang Zhiya for twenty thousand yuan." "Please lend Fang Zhiya twenty thousand yuan." "Task reward, fifty thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan really hadn''t expected Liu Yaolong to be so shameless, to treat his own mother like this, always scheming to swindle money from her. Such a person really deserved to die. Li Zhiyan felt like giving him a severe beating. However, if Liu Yaolong hadn''t been so despicable, how would he have had the chance to kiss his mother? As for what came after, with someone as traditional as Aunt Fang, it would not likely happen again. From a certain perspective, he ought to thank that beast. Liu Yaolong''s move was tantamount to delivering his mother to the door. In that case, he had to seize the opportunity well, otherwise, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the chance Liu Yaolong created. An idea formed in Li Zhiyan''s mind. He hadn''t reminisced about his childhood for many years, so this time he thought about seizing this opportunity to see if he could have a meal in Aunt Fang''s family restaurant. "Aunt Fang is usually so fearful of being gossiped about, wanting to have a meal there isn''t that easy..." Chapter 93: 080 Sweltering Heat, Hormones in the Rental Room The task of borrowing money this time was easy to aplish. He only needed to lend out twenty thousand yuan.

She was 23 years older than him, and she had a husband, even though they were divorced, but in her heart, she still considered herself a married woman. Yet, when it came to Li Zhiyan, she had an uncontroble feeling. She could only passively respond to Li Zhiyan''s kiss. Under the dim light of the rental room, the shadows of the two were cast upon the curtain. Outside, the abusive couple next door just happened to witness this scene. In their hearts, they felt somewhat emotional, tsk-tsk, such a big world, indeed, nothing is impossible, anything could happen nowadays, but it seems no matter what happens, it''s no longer surprising. ... The two of them didn''t know how long they had been kissing when suddenly the sound of domestic abuse came from next door again. This caused Fang Zhiya''s mind topletely nk out, and her hormones were racing. What''s the deal with this couple next door? They alwayse back suddenly when she and Xiao Yan are together, which is really annoying when she thinks about it. It wasn''t until Li Zhiyan''s hand reached for the buttons on her blouse that Fang Zhiya fully came to her senses and pushed Li Zhiyan away. She straightened out her clothes. Fang Zhiya earnestly said, "Xiao Yan, this is thest time, we really can''t do this anymore." "We can''t be kissing, Auntie has told you before, kissing you was just to let you experience the feeling of kissing a woman, that''s all." "Thest time was already going too far, and now a second time, it''s really not okay." "And just now, you were even thinking about undoing Auntie''s buttons, which is too much." "Auntie is a married woman." Li Zhiyan rushed to correct her, "Aunt Fang, don''t think about having a husband, in fact, the divorce papers with Uncle Liu have been signed and are now in effect, you are single now." "So, there is no question of betrayal, and we are not kissing within the period of your marriage to Uncle Liu." Li Zhiyan is a very moral person. Doing something inappropriate with someone else''s wife is something he genuinely has no interest in. Kissing Aunt Fang was also because she was single. Fang Zhiya felt that there was some logic to what Li Zhiyan said... Indeed, she was in the state of divorce, and under such circumstances, kissing Li Zhiyan didn''t seem to vite any moral code, nor was there a situation of wronging her husband. "Moreover, Aunt Fang, we have already kissed before, and you have been teaching me for quite some time." "The fact that we have kissed has be an established fact, so kissing once or twice doesn''t really make any difference." "Don''t you agree?" "Isn''t it so that just because we kissed once, it doesn''t mean we haven''t kissed at all?" For a moment, Fang Zhiya actually found herself at a loss for words; this kid was really good with his words, she couldn''t outtalk him. "But..." Li Zhiyan continued, "Anyway, you are just educating me, it''s just for me to experience what it''s like to kiss a woman, don''t think too much about it." "All right..." "Xiao Yan, can you step out for a while? Auntie wants to take a shower." Now, Fang Zhiya felt a bit ufortable in her own skin, the weather outside was so hot, and Li Zhiyan had even braved the scorching heat to go to the bank with her, now she was unbearably hot. "Okay, Aunt Fang, you take a good shower," said Li Zhiyan as he left the room and then heard the sound of rustling. The weather outside was very hot, he could hear the sound of domestic violence, that uncle really had a big addiction to hitting people, he even felt like calling the police to report him for intentional injury. ``` "Rent houses, they really are ces full of longing and desire, aren''t they." "Right..." Li Zhiyan suddenly remembered the story club. If he bought a copy secretly and then dropped it secretly at Aunt Fang''s stall, what interesting things might happen? For some reason, he thought this idea could be quite amusing. About fifteen minutester, the door opened. Li Zhiyan pushed his way in and saw Fang Zhiya dressed very conservatively. Clearly, Aunt Fang was now somewhat guarded against him. Her heart was perhaps too traditional. The consecutive kisses had been more than she could bear, even though Aunt Fang was divorced. Deep down, she still considered herself a woman with a husband. So kissing him was immoral in her eyes. "Aunt Fang, let me wipe myself off too." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan locked the door behind him and started taking off his shirt. Ever since his body had been strengthened, Li Zhiyan''s physique had also improved a lot. Although he didn''t have a six-pack of abs, when he tensed up, he really felt extremely strong. Fang Zhiya turned away, somewhat afraid to look at Li Zhiyan. Whenever she saw Li Zhiyan, she felt her face flush. After wiping the sweat off his body, Li Zhiyan also felt refreshed and then he approached Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang..." "I''d like to touch your legs, if that''s okay." "We''ve already revisited kissing, and I''d like to review touching legs too." "I''ve almost forgotten what it feels like to touch legs." Fang Zhiya instinctively remembered thest time Li Zhiyan had massaged her. Back then, Li Zhiyan had lightly licked her leg... The feeling of that moment was something she could never forget. "No, Xiao Yan, Auntie wants to talk to you seriously about this." "Although Auntie is an elder, I am still a woman." "It''s not appropriate for you to kiss me like this." "You can''t do this with Auntie anymore..." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya seemed to lose her confidence, and her voice carried a plea of desperation. "Could you, please..." Li Zhiyan hung his head, silent, for a while. Only then did he nod... "Aunt Fang, then please grant me onest request." "If you agree, I won''t ask to kiss you anymore." Li Zhiyan was serious. He truly would not bring it up today. "Well, tell me what it is, Auntie promises you." Li Zhiyan nodded his head. "Auntie, ever since I was little, I''vecked maternal love; I was weaned early." "And I also don''t know what it''s like to be held in a girl''s arms." "Could you feed me a meal?" Aunt Fang was always afraid of gossip, so she tended to keep things well hidden. Today, he wanted to see what would happen. The words of Li Zhiyan left Fang Zhiya''s mindpletely nk. To feed him... feed him a meal! "I promise, Aunt Fang, if you feed me a meal, I will never bring up kissing you again." Chapter 95: Aunt Fang feeds the children, reminiscing about childhood! Hello Li Zhiyan, being fed like a child, how is that supposed to work... He''s all grown up! Feeding is only for babies, isn''t it. "How... how to feed..." Li Zhiyan certainly knew, after all, Li Meifeng used to ask Auntie Rao to feed him every day. "You sit here, I''ll lie down, resting my head on yourp," he said. "Then you can feed me. That''s all." Li Zhiyan''s voice was very serious; he just wanted to reminisce his childhood over a dinner. After all, who doesn''t want to experience the feeling of being a child again? "It''s not possible..." At that moment, Fang Zhiya rejected Li Zhiyan''s request to be fed by her. For her, it was truly uneptable. "Aunt Fang, I promise, you just need to feed me this once!" "I promise I''ll never make any other request of you again." Fang Zhiya still wouldn''t budge. "It''s not possible..." Regarding this matter, Fang Zhiya remained firm; no meant no, but Li Zhiyan had no intention of giving up. When dealing with a woman like Aunt Fang, one must coax persistently¡ªsurely her heart was already swayed. All those excuses about education were rather far-fetched, she was just waiting for him to persuade her, to give her a reason, nothing more. "Please, Aunt Fang, just feed me," he pleaded. "I''ve never been close to a girl before." "I don''t even know what it feels like. Seeing everyone with girlfriends, I feel so envious." Fang Zhiya''s face grew hotter, but it seemed her heart truly couldn''t ept it, so she kept biting down hard, refusing to relent. But Li Zhiyan wouldn''t give up, shaking Fang Zhiya''s hand and showing a determination not to leave without her agreement, all the while inhaling her fragrance. Li Zhiyan kept nagging persistently. After more than half an hour, Fang Zhiya finally couldn''t hold out any longer. Not only did she feel indebted to Li Zhiyan, but she genuinely found him pitiful, having grown so big without ever touching a woman''s hand or leg, nor having kissed one. Today she would treat it as continuing his education. To keep him from having wild thoughts. She pulled away Li Zhiyan''s hand and spoke very earnestly, "Xiao Yan, Aunt can fulfill one of your wishes this time." "However, Aunt hopes you remember what you''ve said, and that you won''t make such requests of me again in the future, alright..." "Mhmm, don''t worry, Aunt Fang." Li Zhiyan replied, very happy, thinking his approach with Aunt Fang was indeed correct. Then, Fang Zhiya ced her hand on the top button. ... At night, lying in his own bed, Li Zhiyan had trouble sleeping, everything that day felt too dreamlike. In reality, he never had much of a chance. After all, Aunt Fang''s heart was too traditional. Without taking advantage of the fact that she owed him a favor, to push for progress by making tactical retreats and requests, there was no chance for further advancement. But somehow, Liu Yaohua loved to deliver opportunities right to his door, which was absolutely marvelous. Today, he truly had his fill. "I kind of hope Liu Yaohua continues to make up excuses to ask for money..." Li Zhiyan thought to himself, now holding 430,000 in his hands, he was nearly halfway to his goal of bing a millionaire. The thought of reaching millionaire status by 18 filled Li Zhiyan with anticipation. As he was pondering, to his surprise, Liu Yaolong continued to surprise him! "Now that Liu Yaolong has money, he ns to live it up after school starts." "He intends to make up an excuse to ask Fang Zhiya for money in a few days, pretending to have a car ident and needing hospitalization, wanting two thousand yuan." "Please lend Aunt Fang two thousand yuan." "Liu Yaolong, with the two thousand yuan, will spend a night at a KTV, hiring two princess singers forpany, living carefree. Take Aunt Fang to expose Liu Yaolong, who will have two princesses singing for him at the KTV." "Task reward: sixty thousand in cash." Li Zhiyan realized that a greedy heart is truly boundless. Aunt Fang had already given him forty thousand yuan recently, and yet, he felt no satisfaction at all. It was outrageous; still wanting to get money from Aunt Fang, what a beast he was. Since you deliver such opportunities to my door, I won''t hold back. "Things with Aunt Fang are almost done." Li Zhiyan felt that just by showing the token from the Marquis of Changxin in front of Aunt Fang, everything else would go as smoothly as a downstream trip to Jiangling. But still, to persuade Aunt Fang, he needed more time. ... Deep into the night, Fang Zhiya tossed and turned. cing her hand on her chest, she kept recollecting everything that had happened. She even thoroughly instructed Li Zhiyan on what to do. What on earth had she done? "Luckily... now that his curiosity has been satisfied, he probably won''t think about those strange things anymore." "After all, it''s all been agreed upon..." As she talked to herself, Fang Zhiya didn''t even realize it. Her tone was filled with a sense of loss. ... The next day, Li Zhiyan still went about his usual routine, heading to the Brotherhood Inte Cafe with his buddies to y games¡ªhe loved this carefree life so much. A teenage dream from a past life that he never expected to realize in this one, and the asional influx of tens of thousands of yuan into his ount. Such a life was incrediblyfortable. In the afternoon, Liu Yaolong and Wang Xinyue also arrived at the inte cafe. "ss monitor." "ying online again." Li Shiyu looked at the branded clothing Liu Yaolong was wearing and the Nikes on his feet, slightly bewildered. Chapter 96: Aunt Fang feeds the children, reminiscing about childhood!_2 ``` "I''m footing the bill for six machines," said Liu Yaolong with a very polite air, while Li Zhiyan noticed that Wang Xinyue was carrying a new bag in her hand, a Dior brand one. Although he wasn''t sure about the specific model, it must have cost at least a few thousand yuan. This guy was really generous. But Liu Yaolong clearly didn''t understand one thing: money is for impressing women. Giving women money, especially someone like Wang Xinyue, who hadn''t contributed anything, was only going to make her think she was something special, that her charm was irresistible. It might even give her the entitled idea that she could just ask men for money whenever she ran out. In fact, social morals at that time weren''t so degraded, but it was because of big spenders like Liu Yaolong acting likepdogs that so many women started thinking receiving gifts didn''t mean they had to reciprocate. "ss monitor, Uncle Liu''s business has been going welltely, hasn''t it?" Li Zhiyan said with a smile. Since Liu Yaolong loved to y the rich second-generation card, he might as well y along here. "Yeah, a lot of people thought my dad was finished, but he''s made aeback now; his business is doing much better than before," said Liu Yaolong, who suddenly found Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu quite pleasing to the eye. "When my dad gives me pocket money next time, I''m going to open an inte cafe like this near the university town. Everyone can surf the for free when theye to my ce," he proimed. All his ssmates looked at Liu Yaolong with envy. Being a rich second generation meant being ostentatious. Even Wang Xinyue harbored aspirations, thinking that if Liu Yaolong could indeed afford to open an inte cafe, then bing his girlfriend was something to consider. She hadn''t even started dating him yet and had already received a bag worth five thousand yuan. It seemed her beauty was truly valuable. If he wanted to be with her, the minimum price would have to be in the tens of thousands. What followed was Liu Yaolong showing off in front of his ssmates and Wang Xinyue, with some remarks making Li Zhiyan cringe. But that was normal. Most people, especially at the age of 18,cked intellect. A normal person wouldn''t think of continuously lying to ask for money from their family. Greed-driven people weren''t really human; they were more like animals with a human shell. However, this kind ofvish spending came with a price. Liu Yaolong was still young, so Aunt Fang should be the one to bear the consequences. As he thought about it, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but recall the scene of Fang Zhiya feeding him before. By five in the afternoon, Liu Yaolong took Wang Xinyue and a few others to leave for some KTV fun. He extended an invitation to Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu as well. However, both of them naturally declined. Li Zhiyan had his own things to do. As for Li Shiyu, he was extremely serious about his job as a store manager. "Brother Yan, do you think our ss monitor''s family really has money?" Li Shiyu logged off his QQ. "Maybe, who cares whether they''re rich or not, it''s none of our business," replied Li Zhiyan. "You just keep doing well, and I''ll definitely bring you along if there''s a chance to make money in the future. The rest of them, whatever." Li Zhiyan genuinely didn''t care about the others. Should an opportunity arise to make money in the future, he would certainly help his close buddies. After all, they were his true friends who would go so far as to sell their car and lend him money. "I''ve got to step out for a bit, you enjoy yourself here." ... Li Zhiyan wandered around and ended up at the two-yuan shop he had been to before. The happy memories of shopping there with Aunt Fang came flooding back. Once inside, he looked around earnestly. This keychain seemed nice. This tea cup is pretty good too... After a while, he happened to pass by the book section. He eventually picked up a copy of ''Stories from the Rental Room.'' He started to read with interest: The story revolved around a still-charming aunt living in a rental room and a young man. It was the same story Li Zhiyan had seen the title of before: something about rental room mysteries... "This is really well written. I wonder if Aunt Fang would like these kind of stories," Li Zhiyan thought to himself. He had a feeling that Aunt Fang wouldn''t openly read it, but whether she''d read it secretly, who knew. "Shopkeeper, one piece of learning material, please." After paying two yuan, Li Zhiyan left the two-yuan shop with the book rolled into a tube, while the shopkeeper expressionlessly took out another copy from the pile and ced it on top. He''d never sold any learning materials, but everyone imed that''s what they were buying. ... Concealing the book in his sleeve, Li Zhiyan couldn''t shake off a feeling of guilty conscience. Lucky for him he was wearing a long-sleeve shirt today, otherwise it would have been difficult to hide. Thinking back to when he was in school, sneaking storybooks into ss and reading them secretly, he felt a bit relieved. When you''re young, you indeed tend to do some thoughtless things. "Aunt Fang!" After arriving at Fang Zhiya''s stall, Li Zhiyan waved to her. Seeing Li Zhiyan again brought a shy emotion to Fang Zhiya''s heart. The image of her feeding Li Zhiyan involuntarily rose in her mind, and now, thinking about it, how could she have agreed to such a request. ``` Chapter 97: Aunt Fang feeds the children, reminiscing about childhood!_3 However, her heart was mostly filled with happiness. After all these tumultuous events, she truly adored this child. Perhaps, from the moment he helped her reim her wages, their fates became inseparably entangled. Her life really couldn''t be without this child. "Xiao Yan, have you eaten?" Today, Fang Zhiya''s stall did good business, as a few youngsters had just taken away some mixed noodles. All the tables were crowded with people too. This gave Fang Zhiya hope that she could repay Li Zhiyan''s money. "Aunt Fang, I haven''t eaten yet. I was just thinking of having your food." Li Zhiyan''s sudden words colored Fang Zhiya''s pretty face with an enticing blush in just a short amount of time. She would never forget the past events for the rest of her life. What was this child saying? He wasn''t going to ask for a kiss again today, was he? They had agreed not to bring up kissing anymore. "You''ve got to give me more chili sauceter." "I''ve been thinking about your mixed noodles with chili sauce, truly a delicacy of the human world." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan genuinely grew hungry. He really did love the food made by Aunt Fang. He could never have enough of it, back and forth. "Okay, Auntie will make you some noodles." She picked up the noodles and tossed them into the boiling pot. At that moment, Fang Zhiya felt her thoughts were far too dirty. Li Zhiyan was just a child, and here she was, thinking all sorts of nonsense. After a while, she scooped the noodles out, adding a generous amount of chili sauce for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan,e sit over here by Auntie." All the other stools were taken by customers, so Fang Zhiya offered her own small resting stool to Li Zhiyan. He sat down promptly, devouring his meal, and the contents of his sleeves... were unintentionally spotted by Fang Zhiya. But she did not ask. As a good elder, she knew she should respect the child''s privacy. That was the mark of a truly qualified elder. "Auntie, there''s quite a crowd eating today, huh." While eating, Li Zhiyan chatted with Fang Zhiya. Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would improve his rtionship with Aunt Fang, especially since he had eaten at her home before. "Yes, there were quite a few. At this rate, Auntie will be able to repay your money in half a year. Once summer is over, business should pick up quite a bit." Fang Zhiya was the kind of person who disliked owing money to others. Whenever in debt, she always thought of repaying it quickly. Owing Li Zhiyan forty thousand, she often thought about it. Of course, Li Zhiyan knew Aunt Fang would definitely repay him. But he didn''t care about it. "Aunt Fang, don''t think about repaying the money all the time. There''s no rush." "But, there is something I wanted to talk to you about." Li Zhiyan thought it over and decided to give Aunt Fang a heads up about the ss monitor''s situation. He no longer needed the excuse of borrowing money to advance their rtionship. He needed another opportunity, of course. The next excuse would be hisst. "What do you want to talk about..." Fang Zhiya felt a subconscious surge of anxiety. She feared that Li Zhiyan wanted to ask her out for another meal. She couldn''t eat again right after just having had a meal. "I want to talk about the ss monitor''s issue." "Actually, the ss monitor keeps asking you for money. Don''t you think there''s something odd about that?" Fang Zhiya considered it. She really hadn''t thought that much about it. Her son was raised by her from childhood, always very honest and never lying to her. It wasn''t until he hit puberty that he began to change quite a lot. Thinking about it now, it did seem strange indeed. "Are you saying, Xiaolong might be trying to deceive me? "So he made up all those excuses?" Li Zhiyan nodded slightly. "Yes, Aunt Fang, that''s what I mean. "Whatever he said about that ss, it''s very unlikely to be true. "But I''m not certain, just be a little cautious." "Just keep an eye out." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan''s book identally fell to the ground, and he swore it was absolutely an intentional ident. "Aunt Fang, I need to go home now." "I''lle to see you again in a couple of days." Fang Zhiya watched Li Zhiyan leave, her heart filled with much reluctance and an inexplicable sense of loss. He had said he wouldn''t bring up kissing again, and today he truly didn''t. Perhaps now he was no longer curious about women. If that was the case, then so much the better, her education was a sess. "Could my son really deceive me? If so, my own son... isn''t as good as Li Zhiyan." In the past, Fang Zhiya had imagined her son reforming and diligently pursuing his studies. Back then, she felt extremely happy, but now, it all might be a scam. "Bossdy, I''ll take a mixed noodles to go, with extra chili sauce." The customer''s voice pulled Fang Zhiya back to reality, and she started making noodles with a smile. "Bossdy, you dropped your book. Is it your son''s study material?" "I got it, thank you." Fang Zhiya realized it might have been Li Zhiyan who identally dropped it; he probably hadn''t noticed. After packing the customer''s order, Fang Zhiya picked up the book. "Xiao Yan really is a studious child." Chapter 98: Aunt Fang feeds the children, reminiscing about childhood!_4 But when she saw the cover, she hurriedly stuffed the Story Club magazine into therge pocket of her apron. This child, why did she buy this Story Club magazine. The stories of the rental house, this seems so fitting for the kind of situation she and he are in together. ... In the evening, Fang Zhiya returned to her rental house and, just like before, dead-bolted the door and took a shower. She dried her hair and after finishing everything, she turned off the lights and went to bed. It wasn''t long before the sounds of domestic violence from next door rang out again. Aside from one week, this sort of domestic violence has be a daily routine, and Fang Zhiya could say she was used to it by now. The weather is so hot... That was what Fang Zhiya was thinking at the moment, groggily she turned on the light, walked over to her apron, and then picked up the Story Club magazine to read slowly. "Just taking a look, it''s fine, paying attention to what the children are learning, there''s nothing wrong with that..." Constantly convincing herself in her mind, Fang Zhiya slowly got engrossed in the magazine. The story was about a tragic and beautiful love story between a man named Li Zhibin and an aunt named Fang Jie. It also contained many detailed descriptions of love. Which gradually brought tears of emotion to her eyes. What a touching story. ... The next evening, Fang Zhiya at home was still reading that story. She shed many tears again, the story was indeed too moving. But while reading the story, Li Zhiyan''s face kepting to mind; after all, Li Zhiyan had kissed her before, twice, and even had a meal at her ce. Without realizing it, Fang Zhiya''s heart underwent many changes, yet regarding the Story Club magazine, she nned to act as though she knew nothing about it. After all, if she gave the magazine to Xiao Yan, both of them would feel awkward. So, it''s better not to mention it, just pretend this Story Club magazine never appeared. On the third day, while Li Zhiyan was in the inte cafe ying games, he received a call from Fang Zhiya, who was already crying her eyes out on the other end of the phone. "Xiao Yan, Auntie needs to borrow twenty thousand yuan, Yao Long has been hospitalized from a car ident and needs to pay the fee of twenty thousand." "The doctors are pressing me over here." "Okay, Aunt Fang, I''ll send it over to you, wait for me, I''ll go to the rental house to find you." "You go and transfer the money first." Li Zhiyan knew Fang Zhiya''s reaction was normal. Liu Yaolong was her own son, who she raised since he was a child, and such news would certainly throw her into disarray. If it were his own mom hearing that he had been hospitalized from a car ident, she would certainly be more anxious than this. And after he pierced through Liu Yaolong''s hypocritical facade, she would definitely experience a violent shock of emotion. For him, this was a very good opportunity. As long as he could harness the power of Faith Power, the events that follow would be much simpler. "Brother Yan, you''re heading out again." "Yeah, got some things to handle, keep an eye on the inte cafe, your days as shopkeeper aren''t many." ... After arriving at Fang Zhiya''s house, Aunt Fang was sitting there, still visibly shaken. "Auntie, are you okay?" "I''m fine... The money is already sent, his ssmate said he''s been admitted, they''re in Sucity now." Li Zhiyan felt some emotion, Liu Yaolong would do anything to deceive the person who loved him the most in this world,pletely without any lines he wouldn''t cross. Truly the beast of beasts. "It''s good that you''re okay, Aunt Fang, don''t cry anymore. Besides, I''m still here, aren''t I?" Li Zhiyan''s words made Fang Zhiya feel as though she found a pir to lean on. The next second, Li Zhiyan kissed her on the lips. And began to use the techniques Rao Shi Yun had taught him. "Xiao Yan, no..." "Don''t do this..." But, at such a moment, Fang Zhiya''s verbal protest was vague and unclear, not only did it not seem like she was stopping Li Zhiyan, it was somewhat encouraging him. Chapter 105: Hormone success -1!_3 "Aunt Fang." "Xiao Yan." Upon seeing Li Zhiyan approaching, Fang Zhiya''s lifeless face finally broke into a slight smile. The more Fang Zhiya thought about it, the more she felt incredibly lucky. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan, her life would surely have been utterly bleak by now. "Aunt Fang, I''m starving to death." "Hurry and make me some noodles." "Okay." Fang Zhiya lifted the lid of the pot to cook the noodles for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, what are you holding in your hand?" "This is a gift for you, open it when we get to the rental room!" Fang Zhiya truly hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to bring her a gift. Her birthday, isn''t it on September 2nd, Thursday? How did Li Zhiyan think to give her a gift at this time? "It''s not Aunt''s birthday, why give a gift." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya felt like crying; her own son had never given her a gift. Her divorced husband never remembered her birthday either. Every birthday, she would secretly eat the noodles she made in the kitchen alone. Then, her birthday would pass in silence, and she had never received a gift; this gift from the child must be the first one she had ever received in her life. "Just because it''s not my birthday, doesn''t mean I can''t give you a gift. You are someone I love, a very important elder in my life, so it''s only natural for me to give you a gift," he said. "You can just ept it with peace of mind." Li Zhiyan''s words gradually restored much of Fang Zhiya''s spirit. After she fished out the noodles, she added a lot of chili sauce for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, you like chili sauce, so Aunt will put more in for you. You sit here while I go buy you a bowl of mung bean soup," she said. "To help cool the spiceter." Soon after, Fang Zhiya returned with a cup of mung bean soup packed in a clear stic cup. On an evening with such weather, a bowl of spicy noodles with a cup of chilled mung bean soup was truly a pleasure. "Aunt Fang, I can tell you''re not in a good mood," he said. "But don''t keep feeling down about the ss president''s issue," he said. "Life still needs to go on, right?" "At least you have me to keep youpany for now." "I will definitely be very filial to you in the future." Thinking of the way Li Zhiyan would be filial, Fang Zhiya''s face heated up again; this child''s words always seemed to evoke far-flung thoughts. Indeed, he had shown her a lot of filial piety. "Aunt Fang." "How about we go stand in that corner for a bit?" Hearing this, Fang Zhiya forgot all her displeasure. Stand in the corner for what? What can be done in a corner? At this moment, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but recall the scene of her first kiss with Li Zhiyan. He had pleaded with her to kiss him, and after she agreed, he couldn''t wait any longer, pulling her into that corner before they even reached the rental room. Now, mentioning that corner again, memories of the past kept emerging in her mind. But somehow... Fang Zhiya found a strange... Sweet feeling in her heart? Did she actually find kissing Li Zhiyan sweet? Wasn''t it just a positive educational experience for him? Shame washed over her. Fang Zhiya''s face began to flush again. "What do you want in that corner, don''t go, you certainly want to kiss Aunt..." Fang Zhiya wanted to say the word "kiss," but she couldn''t articte it at the moment. For her, That word was still too liberal! If it weren''t for the temporary separation from her husband, she definitely wouldn''t have kissed Li Zhiyan because, in Fang Zhiya''s heart, that would have been highly immoral behavior. "Aunt, I just think it''s cooler over there, and since there aren''t any customers now, we could go stand there," he said. "Just to cool off a bit," he said. "If you don''t go, I''m heading over," he said. Saying this, Li Zhiyan walked towards the corner as if he truly wanted to enjoy the coolness, which made Fang Zhiya realize that she might have wrongly med this child. Looking at the gift lying under the stall, a feeling of remorse inevitably surged in her heart. Her adult mind was too tainted, always fixated on that matter. Seeing no customers at the time, Fang Zhiya also followed. "Aunt Fang, why did youe over?" Li Zhiyan, upon seeing Fang Zhiya joining him, seemed surprised at her arrival. "Of course, Aunt has to follow you." "Otherwise, you might get upset." "There''s no business anyway, I''ll keep youpany and cool off together." Li Zhiyan promptly took Fang Zhiya''s hand, and as before, on being taken by the hand by Li Zhiyan, her body weakened. This made Li Zhiyan reminisce; when he used to lie on Aunt Fang''sp to eat, her beautiful legs seemed much softer. Lying there was veryfortable. "Aunt Fang, it''s really cool here," he said. Once they arrived in the corner, Li Zhiyan observing Aunt Fang''s figure, felt even more captivated by her graceful poise. What a pity that Aunt Fang was still dressed in cloth today. So holding her wouldn''t feel the same as it did at home. "Yes, it''s very cool." "Being here with you gives me a feeling like I''m skipping evening self-study." "Aunt Fang, can we repeat what we did before tonight?" Chapter 106: Hormone success -1!_4 Speaking, Li Zhiyan embraced Fang Zhiya, and suddenly being held by Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya became somewhat panicked. "No, what happened before has already crossed the lines." "We can''t keep going on like this anymore." Li Zhiyan simply held Fang Zhiya, as if he feared she would break free from his embrace. "Aunt Fang, but is there really any difference between doing something once or twice?" "Since it''s already happened, repeating it will make me a bit happier." "Isn''t that a good thing?" "Just like kissing, whether it''s once, or twice, or thrice, or a dozen times, there''s no difference." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan found Fang Zhiya''s lips. Then he continued to kiss her. "Xiao Yan..." "No..." "But... butst night it was you, Aunt Fang, who actively kissed me." "How can you say no, Aunt Fang, I think it''s okay." Every sentence from Li Zhiyan made Fang Zhiya feel immensely bashful. Last night, she indeed had been too impulsive, driven by despair when Liu Yaolong kept fabricating lies to deceive her for money. Under the pressure of her emotions, she had actively put on a short skirt and kissed Li Zhiyan. And she even let him touch her legs. At this time, Liu Yaolong had also arrived, wanting to ask Fang Zhiya what had happened. Why she wasn''t answering his calls or responding to his messages, it was as if she had cklisted him. If mom is angry, then he should sincerely apologize. The most important thing was to figure out a way to swindle her savings, which amounted to tens of thousands. But looking around, this noodle stall was deserted. And his mom was nowhere to be seen, although judging by the burning fire, she was clearly nearby. "I''ll just sit here and wait..." Liu Yaolong sat down, but he kept waiting without his mother''s return, only to have some mysterious clicking sounds popping in his mind. "What''s going on, have I been drinking too muchtely, causing hallucinations?" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people kissing in a corner. The woman was delicate and alluring, about 160cm in height, which was exactly like his mother. And even her silhouette seemed quite simr. Considering a certain possibility, Liu Yaolong''s expression turned instantly sour. Could that be his mother? His mother kissing someone else! Liu Yaolong didn''t know that Fang Zhiya had already divorced his biological father, so to him, this thought was explosively shocking. In his mind, his mother was a private possession of the Liu family. And now, not long after his father''s imprisonment, she was hooking up with another man? Furthermore, she was kissing him passionately in a corner not far from their stall? Filled with rage, Liu Yaolong felt a fury burning inside him. What a slut, she''s a real slut! Overwhelmed with anger, Liu Yaolong thought about confronting them right then and there. But eventually, he lost the courage. His mother already disliked him greatly, and he didn''t know if she had discovered something. If he created a scene, it would be impossible to deceive her out of her money. At the same time, he realized that he had forgotten to clear up the lies he had told his mother about being in Sucity, and showing up now would only blow his cover, destroying any hope of getting money. Endure... He must endure today. When the timees to catch the man daring to kiss his mother, he would have to beat him to a pulp to vent his anger! At this moment, Fang Zhiya, who was kissing Li Zhiyan, also noticed a customer had arrived. "Xiao Yan, there''s a customer..." With trembling breath, she pushed Li Zhiyan away. Fang Zhiya wanted to go sell the noodles. In her heart, she was eager to repay the money she owed him as soon as possible. The debt she owed him was truly too much. "Aunt Fang, that seems to be your son, Liu Yaolong." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan felt Aunt Fang in his arms soften a bit more. Her demeanor could be described as boneless. For Aunt Fang, kissing him in front of Liu Yaolong was indeed an embarrassing matter. "So, just close your eyes and keep going with me. If we get caught, it will be a bit embarrassing." "Woo..." "Okay, Auntie will do as you say..." Fang Zhiya also closed her eyes, heeding Li Zhiyan''s words. Once the two returned to the stall, Liu Yaolong had already left, and Fang Zhiya thought about what had just happened and still felt her face burning. Business then slowly picked up, and the two were busy until there were no customers left. Fang Zhiya finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Aunt Fang, let''s go home." "Okay." After the kissing episode with Li Zhiyan and the subsequent bustling business, her mood had really improved a great deal. After they finished packing up, pushing Aunt Fang''s cart home, under the dim streetlights, the young man and the mature woman looked incredibly happy. "Xiao Yan, if only you were my son, then Auntie wouldn''t be so sad and troubled. I think all the aunties in the world would want a son like you." Fang Zhiya said enviously. Li Zhiyan was capable of everything, and despite his young age, he was sopetent. Her own son, on the other hand, was nothing but an utter beast. Compared to him, the gap was just too huge. "Actually, it wouldn''t be good if I really were your son. I still prefer our rtionship as it is now." "You can give me education regarding the rtionships between two sexes." Chapter 107: Hormone success -1!_5 Li Zhiyan spoke very casually, those words came to him as naturally as breathing. But for Fang Zhiya, they were incredibly embarrassing. "Xiao Yan, what gift did you bring for Aunt Fang?" While walking, Fang Zhiya suddenly remembered the gift, the first she had ever received in her life, and surprisingly from her son''s ssmate. This truthfully made Fang Zhiya feel unexpected joy, as well as a heartfelt delight. "A pair of high heels." "I think your legs are so white and beautiful. If you wear a short skirt with high heels, you''d definitely look exceptionally charming." Fang Zhiya started to feel shy. High heels, something she had always been too embarrassed to wear out, and Li Zhiyan had given them to her. "But I''ve never worn high heels before, and I would be embarrassed to wear them out, Aunt Fang would." "It''s okay, Aunt Fang, we can just wear them inside the rental." "Just for me to see, that shouldn''t be a problem, right?" Hearing this, Fang Zhiya finally nodded lightly, indeed so; she even let him touch her legs while wearing a short skirt. So wearing high heels, that really shouldn''t be a big deal then. "Okay, I''ll wear them for you in a bit." Li Zhiyan felt very much excited; sure enough, Aunt Fang was growing to enjoy their intimacy more and more. Like kissing, touching legs, she was already not greatly opposed. Resistance was just a token gesture, brief and half-hearted. "Aunt Fang, I also want to tell you something." "Maybeter, is that okay..." "Please..." Fang Zhiya had been silent all along, and after Li Zhiyan asked her several times consecutively. She finally spoke very softly, "Okay, Xiao Yan, you mustn''t tell anyone." "This matter must be kept secret from everyone, understand?" Li Zhiyan hummed an acknowledgement, knowing this was one of the advantages of a mature woman, keeping such matters hidden and not wanting others to know, thus there''s no possibility ofpetition. He could secretly pursue multiple avenues without fear of being discovered. "By the way, Aunt Fang, can we switch it up a bit?" "What way..." Fang Zhiya felt something amiss but still asked Li Zhiyan. "The dining utensils that I use when eating at your ce." "The utensils you use..." While saying this, Li Zhiyan nced at the cloth wrapped around Fang Zhiya. "No..." "Aunt Fang, actually, there''s no difference, right." "I just want to make things easier for you." "Right..." Li Zhiyan, pushing the cart, found that before he knew it, they had arrived downstairs. After locking up the cart, he effortlessly picked up the high heels he had brought for Fang Zhiya. After they went upstairs, Li Zhiyan kept on asking. "Is that okay, Aunt Fang..." Once Fang Zhiya saw the neighboring abusive couple chatting by the door, when opening her own door, she grasped Li Zhiyan''s hand. "Okay, stop pestering me..." Li Zhiyan sensed something off from the neighbor couple''s nces, but it seemed like the abusive couple had discovered everything, no matter! Anyway, he was shameless. Once inside the room, Fang Zhiya, slightly trembling, said, "Xiao Yan, go out for a while, Aunt wants to take a shower, is that okay?" "Okay." Li Zhiyan knew that Fang Zhiya was very clean, and indeed, a woman would not want to look dirty in front of someone she cared about; that would surely not be good. He obediently left, then greeted the neighbors before standing there waiting. The couple just smiled and then went back into their room to prepare for their abusive activities. A few minutester, the door opened a crack, and Li Zhiyan quickly entered the apartment. Upon entering, he saw Fang Zhiya with wet hair standing before him. Aunt Fang was now dressed in a white button-up shirt, revealing her full 36D figure. Below that was the short skirt he had given her. Her fair and wless legs were perfectly exposed to his view. And now Aunt Fang was also wearing the ck high heels with red soles that he had gifted her. "Do they look... good?" In that moment, Fang Zhiya clearly felt quite bashful. For Li Zhiyan, she had indeed done many things she previously wouldn''t have dared to. Like wearing a short skirt, showing her legs, and today, even wearing high heels. "They look good..." "Aunt Fang, they look amazing." "Your legs look even more beautiful with the high heels." Li Zhiyan''s mind had already started fantasizing about Aunt Fang wearing stockings. "I''ll take a shower too." With that, Li Zhiyan locked the room door from the inside. Chapter 108: 085 Rental room, Aunt Fang wears stockings! [Extra large update 650] Because the rtionship hadpletely changed from what it was before, Li Zhiyan didn''t avoid Aunt Fang at all. "Aunt Fang, then let''s proceed as we agreed before." Looking at Fang Zhiya, who stood before him in high heels, revealing her smooth and beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan said softly. As he spoke, he gently ced his hand on Aunt Fang''s beautiful legs. Aunt Fang''s legs were indeed very beautiful. "Mm..." Although Fang Zhiya felt shy, she had promised Li Zhiyan and there was no way she could go back on her word. "Aunt Fang, please sit over there, I''ll stand. It''s just right." Fang Zhiya simply nodded lightly. After that, she fulfilled her promise. ... After Li Zhiyan left, Fang Zhiya''s heart was still thumping wildly, unable to calm down. She had actually fulfilled the agreementpletely; her chin still felt a bit hot, how embarrassing. She was such a shameless woman, involved with an 18-year-old youth like Li Zhiyan. Lately, they had been entangled, and their rtionship became increasingly indescribable. If she hadn''t been divorced, she really didn''t know how she would face her husband. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie is really starting to love you more and more." Suddenly, Fang Zhiya thought of her own son, a thorough scoundrel who had deceived her, something she could never forget. "Don''t think so much." Lying on the cool mat, looking at the high heels on her feet, Fang Zhiya felt that many aspects of herself that she hadn''t dared to contemte before were being steadily unearthed by Li Zhiyan. Like today, wearing a short skirt and high heels to help Li Zhiyan. Such things were unimaginable to her before. "What else will this child want me to do?" Deeply traditional inside, Fang Zhiya felt her values being slowly peeled back by Li Zhiyan, and somewhere in her heart, she was somewhat expectant. ... The next day, as Li Zhiyan yed games in the inte cafe, his thoughts kept drifting back to previous events. "Brother Yan, school starts the day after tomorrow, huh?" "Our good days are almost at an end." The old Li Shiyu always looked forward to the start of the school year, but now he was immersed in the joy of being the manager and didn''t want to go back to school. "You just don''t want to let go of your days as the manager." "Look at youcking ambition, just enjoy your university life." "University life is great, don''t worry." Li Shiyu took a gulp of iced c. "Brother Yan, keep in touch on QQ, once university starts, there might not be as much time." "Come on, our schools are less than a kilometer apart." "We can still y games together on Sundays, stop talking, log in." At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s thoughts turned to Su Mengchen and Shen Rongfei. In his past life at this stage, he hadn''t yet met Su Mengchen; this time was a bit ahead of schedule. Thinking of Su Mengchen with her limp, Li Zhiyan''s heart ached. This time, he would take care of her no matter what. And then there was his future mother-inw Shen Rongfei... He must take good care of his mother-inw and show her his utmost filial piety. In Li Zhiyan''s memory, his mother-inw always liked to wear red clothes, favoring a red cheongsam or red T-shirt in the summer. In the autumn and winter, she preferred to wear a red woolen coat. The word "morous" seemed tailor-made for her. What really lingered in Li Zhiyan''s memory was that his mother-inw had a deep fetish for ck stockings. No matter the asion, she would wear ck stockings that rose above mid-thigh or even up to her waist. With a beauty resembling the star Zeng Li, a D+ figure, and the pairing of ck stockings and high heels, countless people were infatuated with her. Even though his mother-inw was married, she still had innumerable admirers. However, her husband, after having a son with another woman in an affair, abandoned Aunt Shen and Mengchen. "I will make him go away..." "I will protect my mother-inw and wife." Li Zhiyan thought to himself. Also, he had to help Su Mengchen regain her confidence; he was very aware of how her beauty-envying ssmates kept taunting her as ''cripple'' behind her back, letting her hear it on purpose, inflicting great harm on her. During the subsequent gaming session, Li Zhiyan was somewhat distracted. Thinking about the uing school year, he felt quite uneasy. "Brother Yan, I feel like you''re a bit distracted." "Something on your mind?" "No, it''s nothing." "Let''s y the game, don''t worry, when Sunday rolls around and I''m free, I''ll stille find you to y games." After saying this, Li Shiyu nodded earnestly. In his heart, he recognized no other brother but Li Zhiyan. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan slowly came back to his senses, his mind filled with a longing for stockings. "Why not ask Aunt Fang to wear ck stockings for me to admire." "But..." After thinking it over, Li Zhiyan felt he should take things step by step. To some women, ck stockings were something that only a certain kind of women would wear. A traditional woman like Aunt Fang probably thought the same way. Of course, in reality, there''s nothing wrong with wearing ck stockings; his mother-inw, for example, was crazy about them. But such notions in people''s minds were beyond Li Zhiyan''s control... After some thought, perhaps flesh-toned stockings would be more eptable. Chapter 103: Hormone success -1! The next second, Fang Zhiya found herself plunged into an inexplicable terror. This child is really terrifying! Her face turnedpletely red. "Aunt Fang, please help me..." "Please, okay?" "Although I learned what kissing and touching one''s legs feels like from you..." "there are some things I truly don''t know the feeling of, and I feel like I could abuse my family like the neighbors do." Li Zhiyan''s words were sincere, which startled Fang Zhiya. This child was really bing too much; such things were absolutely impermissible. "No... Xiao Yan, this is too much, Auntie is a married woman." Fang Zhiya reminded Li Zhiyan. "No, Aunt Fang, you''re divorced now, legally you are a single woman, and a single woman is free to do as she pleases, and whatever we do is with mutual consent." "So there''s no issue, Aunt Fang..." Li Zhiyan pressed Fang Zhiya, knowing if he didn''t break through during her emotional upheaval, it would be difficultter. But if her defenses fell, everything after would flow naturally. He also knew he couldn''t finish everything in one go. So he had to heighten his demands so he could bargain down to something less. "No..." "Xiao Yan, this isn''t right, remember, you regard Auntie as an elder." "But, Aunt Fang, I feel so distressed." Li Zhiyan kept begging Fang Zhiya. "How about, like before, you feed me?" "And while feeding me..." Li Zhiyan took Fang Zhiya''s hand and gently kissed the smooth palm of her hand. Fang Zhiya was thrown into a fierce internal struggle. "Aunt Fang, as long as we don''t actually do certain things." "It''s like nothing has happened at all." Li Zhiyan kept persuading Fang Zhiya, and after a long while, she finally nodded her head. "Alright..." "Yes!" Li Zhiyan was overjoyed, as today indeed had brought unexpected gains. Afterward, he sat down with Fang Zhiya andy across Aunt Fang''s smooth and fair thighs. And Fang Zhiya closed her eyes. ... At night, Liu Yaolong, feeling a bit guilty, wanted to call Fang Zhiya to check in. However, the phone on the other end waspletely unreachable. This made him feel that something was not right, as if something important had suddenly moved far away from him, leaving him extremely ufortable. "Mom, why aren''t you answering the phone..." Even though he tried hard to get through to Fang Zhiya''s phone. But after more than a dozen calls, there was still no answer. All were hung up; this time, Liu Yaolong was totally panicked, as this might mean losing his source of ie. At the very least, there were hundreds of thousands in savings waiting for him to swindle. But now she wasn''t picking up the phone. In the rental room, Li Zhiyan, lying on Fang Zhiya''s beautiful legs, looked at her with a flushed face and asked, "Aunt Fang, is the ss president calling?" "Mmm..." Fang Zhiya caressed Li Zhiyan''s face, her eyes filled with indulgence. These days, fate seemed to have yed a huge joke on her. The recent times had been too harsh, making her feel desperate, but at least Li Zhiyan was by her side. "I won''t answer..." "This child has been conning me; from now on, I''ll act as if I don''t have this son." "Unless he decides to truly repent in the future." "But that will depend on his future behavior." Fang Zhiya knew she probably wouldn''t have a son anymore as he had done such despicable things and wasn''t likely to change. "Aunt Fang..." After lying there and kissing Fang Zhiya. "Just pretend you never had this son from now on." "I will take care of you in the future." Fang Zhiya''s face was slightly red. "This is how you take care of Auntie, hurry up and go now, your mom will be worried if you don''t get home." Li Zhiyan hummed in acknowledgment... "Aunt Fang, I''lle to see you often in the future, so please don''t worry too much." "When school starts again, I''lle to see you at night if there''s nothing else to do." "Okay..." ... Late at night, after he got home, Li Zhiyan looked at his bank bnce, a full 470,000! "I still need 530,000 to reach the goal of being a millionaire; then I can buy mom an apartment." "But today felt really good; I need to find an opportunity to get even closer to Aunt Fang." "Now that I''ve made such progress, the rest will be much easier..." Thinking back on the side-feeding and air-raid drills, Li Zhiyan still savored the memory. "Right, Aunt Fang is too traditional..." "I wonder what it would feel like to buy her a pair of high heels..." "If I could get Aunt Fang to wear high heels and stockings, that sensation..." Musing, Li Zhiyan felt his Faith Power stirring again. "I should go to sleep first..." "Tomorrow, I''ll start by buying a pair of high heels for Aunt Fang." "We''ll see if she''s willing to wear them." "If Aunt Fang can wear a short skirt, then she can probably wear high heels too." Li Zhiyan thought to himself, his heart filled with immense anticipation. That night, Liu Yaolong couldn''t sleep; no matter how he texted or called his mom, she wouldn''t reply, as if she had evaporated from the earth. Regardless of how greed drove Liu Yaolong to want to swindle Fang Zhiya''s money, Fang Zhiya was, after all, the one who had raised him from a young age. Chapter 104: Hormone success -1!_2 The feelings in my heart are definitely still there, so naturally I don''t want anything to happen to my mom. "Looks like I''ll have to check out the noodle stand tomorrow..." Liu Yaolong thought to himself... In order to swindle money, Liu Yaolong naturally knew where Fang Zhiya set up her stand, and to check it out; if there was nothing wrong, then he could continue to swindle money. ... Waking up in the morning, I looked at my boundless abilities. Li Zhiyan took a deep breath, it''s great to be young, seems like today I have to go find Aunt Fang for some charity work again. However, I still need to work hard to change the way I do charity. After all, I have to make good use of Aunt Fang''s resources to maximize benefits. After leaving the house, Li Zhiyan saw his mom eating breakfast where she sat; my breakfast was also ready. "Mom, you seem to be in a good mood." As a mama''s boy, when mom''s in a good mood, naturally my mood''s good, too. "Yep, my son has started his own inte cafe and can even make big money; of course mom is in a good mood," Patting Li Zhiyan''s head, Zhou Rongrong proudly said, "From now on, mom will just go to work as usual." "I will never work overtime again, just waiting to enjoy the blessings of my son." "Alright, Mom, just wait until your son makes big money, and when I do, I''ll buy a new house for us to move into; this old neighborhood is just too inconvenient, and the house is also cramped." "Great!" After mom finished breakfast, she left the house. Watching her receding figure, Li Zhiyan solidified his intention to make more money. "First, I''ll go to the inte cafe for a bit, and in the afternoon, look for a pair of red-soled high heels." "The high heels are most beautiful on the Simmons bed." Thinking of that image, Li Zhiyan couldn''t control himself and was filled with eager anticipation. Arriving at the inte cafe, Li Shiyu was evidently not in a good mood today. "What''s wrong?" "School''s starting, and I''m a bit reluctant. "I just joined a ss group on the school forum, started chatting with a lot of ssmates." Li Zhiyan was puzzled, "Isn''t that good?" "Are there college students who don''t look forward to university life?" In my past life, I too had been looking forward to it, butter found out that university life was just staying in the dorm ying games for four years. "My career has just begun, and it''s already about to end..." Li Zhiyan smacked him on the head. "The top poster in the forum, it''s you, right? Acting like a cafe manager with a career, stop being pretentious and log in!" While ying games, Li Zhiyan was also online chatting with Rao Shiyun, Gu Wanzhou, and the female master. This surprised Li Shiyu, who was sitting next to him. Brother Yan really is a god... Directly taking over the enemy''s spawn point, and also multitasking in group fights¡ªthat is real power! Li Zhiyan paid no attention to the strange look in his wingman''s eyes as he continued chatting with Gu Wanzhou. All he wanted now was to urge Gu Wanzhou to be his girlfriend. It had been over a month since I confessed to Aunt Gu, and I was about to start college now. Thinking about it, I was indeed getting a little anxious. "Aunt Gu, when can we be together?" Gu Wanzhou: "Could you give auntie some time to consider?" At the office, Gu Wanzhou''s legs in silky stockings were tightly sped together. Chatting with Li Zhiyan made her feel very nervous. Li Zhiyan: "But I''ve been waiting for a month, and you still haven''t decided whether to be with me." "I really want to be with you." Gu Wanzhou: "Could you give auntie some more time, please." Li Zhiyan: "You always ask for more time, how long do I have to wait?" Gu Wanzhou: "It really won''t be too long this time, is that okay?" Li Zhiyan: "Okay then..." After closing the chat with Li Zhiyan, Gu Wanzhou felt her heart pounding; this kid really wanted to be with her. At first, I thought I could use the cold treatment to make the kid forget about his confession, or divert his attention elsewhere. But to my surprise, he didn''t forget and kept reminding me to be with him. Theplications between him and me are too deep now, what am I going to do? If we were not so fated, all these things would never have happened, but now... "Ah..." After a long time, Gu Wanzhou sighed softly. ... At five in the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to a women''s clothing store and bought a pair of red-soled high heels. Considering Aunt Fang had never worn high heels before, Li Zhiyan chose ones with not too high heels. But they still looked very feminine. Upon leaving, Li Zhiyan saw two familiar figures, ss president Liu Yaolong and Wang Xinyue. Clearly, Liu Yaolong was still keen on winning over Wang Xinyue. Since I had been unresponsive to her, Wang Xinyue''s interaction with me diminished, though she still tries to connect with me from time to time. "Such a beast..." "Never mind, I''ll go to Aunt Fang''s for mixed noodles first." Carrying the high heels to Fang Zhiya''s stand, from a distance, Li Zhiyan saw Aunt Fang''s pretty face filled with worry; she''s been unhappy since finding out Liu Yaolong fooled her. If it hadn''t been for me moisturizing her pretty face yesterday, her mood would have been even worse. Chapter 105: Hormone success -1!_3 "Aunt Fang." "Xiao Yan." Upon seeing Li Zhiyan approaching, Fang Zhiya''s lifeless face finally broke into a slight smile. The more Fang Zhiya thought about it, the more she felt incredibly lucky. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan, her life would surely have been utterly bleak by now. "Aunt Fang, I''m starving to death." "Hurry and make me some noodles." "Okay." Fang Zhiya lifted the lid of the pot to cook the noodles for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, what are you holding in your hand?" "This is a gift for you, open it when we get to the rental room!" Fang Zhiya truly hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to bring her a gift. Her birthday, isn''t it on September 2nd, Thursday? How did Li Zhiyan think to give her a gift at this time? "It''s not Aunt''s birthday, why give a gift." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya felt like crying; her own son had never given her a gift. Her divorced husband never remembered her birthday either. Every birthday, she would secretly eat the noodles she made in the kitchen alone. Then, her birthday would pass in silence, and she had never received a gift; this gift from the child must be the first one she had ever received in her life. "Just because it''s not my birthday, doesn''t mean I can''t give you a gift. You are someone I love, a very important elder in my life, so it''s only natural for me to give you a gift," he said. "You can just ept it with peace of mind." Li Zhiyan''s words gradually restored much of Fang Zhiya''s spirit. After she fished out the noodles, she added a lot of chili sauce for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, you like chili sauce, so Aunt will put more in for you. You sit here while I go buy you a bowl of mung bean soup," she said. "To help cool the spiceter." Soon after, Fang Zhiya returned with a cup of mung bean soup packed in a clear stic cup. On an evening with such weather, a bowl of spicy noodles with a cup of chilled mung bean soup was truly a pleasure. "Aunt Fang, I can tell you''re not in a good mood," he said. "But don''t keep feeling down about the ss president''s issue," he said. "Life still needs to go on, right?" "At least you have me to keep youpany for now." "I will definitely be very filial to you in the future." Thinking of the way Li Zhiyan would be filial, Fang Zhiya''s face heated up again; this child''s words always seemed to evoke far-flung thoughts. Indeed, he had shown her a lot of filial piety. "Aunt Fang." "How about we go stand in that corner for a bit?" Hearing this, Fang Zhiya forgot all her displeasure. Stand in the corner for what? What can be done in a corner? At this moment, Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but recall the scene of her first kiss with Li Zhiyan. He had pleaded with her to kiss him, and after she agreed, he couldn''t wait any longer, pulling her into that corner before they even reached the rental room. Now, mentioning that corner again, memories of the past kept emerging in her mind. But somehow... Fang Zhiya found a strange... Sweet feeling in her heart? Did she actually find kissing Li Zhiyan sweet? Wasn''t it just a positive educational experience for him? Shame washed over her. Fang Zhiya''s face began to flush again. "What do you want in that corner, don''t go, you certainly want to kiss Aunt..." Fang Zhiya wanted to say the word "kiss," but she couldn''t articte it at the moment. For her, That word was still too liberal! If it weren''t for the temporary separation from her husband, she definitely wouldn''t have kissed Li Zhiyan because, in Fang Zhiya''s heart, that would have been highly immoral behavior. "Aunt, I just think it''s cooler over there, and since there aren''t any customers now, we could go stand there," he said. "Just to cool off a bit," he said. "If you don''t go, I''m heading over," he said. Saying this, Li Zhiyan walked towards the corner as if he truly wanted to enjoy the coolness, which made Fang Zhiya realize that she might have wrongly med this child. Looking at the gift lying under the stall, a feeling of remorse inevitably surged in her heart. Her adult mind was too tainted, always fixated on that matter. Seeing no customers at the time, Fang Zhiya also followed. "Aunt Fang, why did youe over?" Li Zhiyan, upon seeing Fang Zhiya joining him, seemed surprised at her arrival. "Of course, Aunt has to follow you." "Otherwise, you might get upset." "There''s no business anyway, I''ll keep youpany and cool off together." Li Zhiyan promptly took Fang Zhiya''s hand, and as before, on being taken by the hand by Li Zhiyan, her body weakened. This made Li Zhiyan reminisce; when he used to lie on Aunt Fang''sp to eat, her beautiful legs seemed much softer. Lying there was veryfortable. "Aunt Fang, it''s really cool here," he said. Once they arrived in the corner, Li Zhiyan observing Aunt Fang''s figure, felt even more captivated by her graceful poise. What a pity that Aunt Fang was still dressed in cloth today. So holding her wouldn''t feel the same as it did at home. "Yes, it''s very cool." "Being here with you gives me a feeling like I''m skipping evening self-study." "Aunt Fang, can we repeat what we did before tonight?" Chapter 106: Hormone success -1!_4 Speaking, Li Zhiyan embraced Fang Zhiya, and suddenly being held by Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya became somewhat panicked. "No, what happened before has already crossed the lines." "We can''t keep going on like this anymore." Li Zhiyan simply held Fang Zhiya, as if he feared she would break free from his embrace. "Aunt Fang, but is there really any difference between doing something once or twice?" "Since it''s already happened, repeating it will make me a bit happier." "Isn''t that a good thing?" "Just like kissing, whether it''s once, or twice, or thrice, or a dozen times, there''s no difference." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan found Fang Zhiya''s lips. Then he continued to kiss her. "Xiao Yan..." "No..." "But... butst night it was you, Aunt Fang, who actively kissed me." "How can you say no, Aunt Fang, I think it''s okay." Every sentence from Li Zhiyan made Fang Zhiya feel immensely bashful. Last night, she indeed had been too impulsive, driven by despair when Liu Yaolong kept fabricating lies to deceive her for money. Under the pressure of her emotions, she had actively put on a short skirt and kissed Li Zhiyan. And she even let him touch her legs. At this time, Liu Yaolong had also arrived, wanting to ask Fang Zhiya what had happened. Why she wasn''t answering his calls or responding to his messages, it was as if she had cklisted him. If mom is angry, then he should sincerely apologize. The most important thing was to figure out a way to swindle her savings, which amounted to tens of thousands. But looking around, this noodle stall was deserted. And his mom was nowhere to be seen, although judging by the burning fire, she was clearly nearby. "I''ll just sit here and wait..." Liu Yaolong sat down, but he kept waiting without his mother''s return, only to have some mysterious clicking sounds popping in his mind. "What''s going on, have I been drinking too muchtely, causing hallucinations?" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people kissing in a corner. The woman was delicate and alluring, about 160cm in height, which was exactly like his mother. And even her silhouette seemed quite simr. Considering a certain possibility, Liu Yaolong''s expression turned instantly sour. Could that be his mother? His mother kissing someone else! Liu Yaolong didn''t know that Fang Zhiya had already divorced his biological father, so to him, this thought was explosively shocking. In his mind, his mother was a private possession of the Liu family. And now, not long after his father''s imprisonment, she was hooking up with another man? Furthermore, she was kissing him passionately in a corner not far from their stall? Filled with rage, Liu Yaolong felt a fury burning inside him. What a slut, she''s a real slut! Overwhelmed with anger, Liu Yaolong thought about confronting them right then and there. But eventually, he lost the courage. His mother already disliked him greatly, and he didn''t know if she had discovered something. If he created a scene, it would be impossible to deceive her out of her money. At the same time, he realized that he had forgotten to clear up the lies he had told his mother about being in Sucity, and showing up now would only blow his cover, destroying any hope of getting money. Endure... He must endure today. When the timees to catch the man daring to kiss his mother, he would have to beat him to a pulp to vent his anger! At this moment, Fang Zhiya, who was kissing Li Zhiyan, also noticed a customer had arrived. "Xiao Yan, there''s a customer..." With trembling breath, she pushed Li Zhiyan away. Fang Zhiya wanted to go sell the noodles. In her heart, she was eager to repay the money she owed him as soon as possible. The debt she owed him was truly too much. "Aunt Fang, that seems to be your son, Liu Yaolong." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan felt Aunt Fang in his arms soften a bit more. Her demeanor could be described as boneless. For Aunt Fang, kissing him in front of Liu Yaolong was indeed an embarrassing matter. "So, just close your eyes and keep going with me. If we get caught, it will be a bit embarrassing." "Woo..." "Okay, Auntie will do as you say..." Fang Zhiya also closed her eyes, heeding Li Zhiyan''s words. Once the two returned to the stall, Liu Yaolong had already left, and Fang Zhiya thought about what had just happened and still felt her face burning. Business then slowly picked up, and the two were busy until there were no customers left. Fang Zhiya finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Aunt Fang, let''s go home." "Okay." After the kissing episode with Li Zhiyan and the subsequent bustling business, her mood had really improved a great deal. After they finished packing up, pushing Aunt Fang''s cart home, under the dim streetlights, the young man and the mature woman looked incredibly happy. "Xiao Yan, if only you were my son, then Auntie wouldn''t be so sad and troubled. I think all the aunties in the world would want a son like you." Fang Zhiya said enviously. Li Zhiyan was capable of everything, and despite his young age, he was sopetent. Her own son, on the other hand, was nothing but an utter beast. Compared to him, the gap was just too huge. "Actually, it wouldn''t be good if I really were your son. I still prefer our rtionship as it is now." "You can give me education regarding the rtionships between two sexes." Chapter 107: Hormone success -1!_5 Li Zhiyan spoke very casually, those words came to him as naturally as breathing. But for Fang Zhiya, they were incredibly embarrassing. "Xiao Yan, what gift did you bring for Aunt Fang?" While walking, Fang Zhiya suddenly remembered the gift, the first she had ever received in her life, and surprisingly from her son''s ssmate. This truthfully made Fang Zhiya feel unexpected joy, as well as a heartfelt delight. "A pair of high heels." "I think your legs are so white and beautiful. If you wear a short skirt with high heels, you''d definitely look exceptionally charming." Fang Zhiya started to feel shy. High heels, something she had always been too embarrassed to wear out, and Li Zhiyan had given them to her. "But I''ve never worn high heels before, and I would be embarrassed to wear them out, Aunt Fang would." "It''s okay, Aunt Fang, we can just wear them inside the rental." "Just for me to see, that shouldn''t be a problem, right?" Hearing this, Fang Zhiya finally nodded lightly, indeed so; she even let him touch her legs while wearing a short skirt. So wearing high heels, that really shouldn''t be a big deal then. "Okay, I''ll wear them for you in a bit." Li Zhiyan felt very much excited; sure enough, Aunt Fang was growing to enjoy their intimacy more and more. Like kissing, touching legs, she was already not greatly opposed. Resistance was just a token gesture, brief and half-hearted. "Aunt Fang, I also want to tell you something." "Maybeter, is that okay..." "Please..." Fang Zhiya had been silent all along, and after Li Zhiyan asked her several times consecutively. She finally spoke very softly, "Okay, Xiao Yan, you mustn''t tell anyone." "This matter must be kept secret from everyone, understand?" Li Zhiyan hummed an acknowledgement, knowing this was one of the advantages of a mature woman, keeping such matters hidden and not wanting others to know, thus there''s no possibility ofpetition. He could secretly pursue multiple avenues without fear of being discovered. "By the way, Aunt Fang, can we switch it up a bit?" "What way..." Fang Zhiya felt something amiss but still asked Li Zhiyan. "The dining utensils that I use when eating at your ce." "The utensils you use..." While saying this, Li Zhiyan nced at the cloth wrapped around Fang Zhiya. "No..." "Aunt Fang, actually, there''s no difference, right." "I just want to make things easier for you." "Right..." Li Zhiyan, pushing the cart, found that before he knew it, they had arrived downstairs. After locking up the cart, he effortlessly picked up the high heels he had brought for Fang Zhiya. After they went upstairs, Li Zhiyan kept on asking. "Is that okay, Aunt Fang..." Once Fang Zhiya saw the neighboring abusive couple chatting by the door, when opening her own door, she grasped Li Zhiyan''s hand. "Okay, stop pestering me..." Li Zhiyan sensed something off from the neighbor couple''s nces, but it seemed like the abusive couple had discovered everything, no matter! Anyway, he was shameless. Once inside the room, Fang Zhiya, slightly trembling, said, "Xiao Yan, go out for a while, Aunt wants to take a shower, is that okay?" "Okay." Li Zhiyan knew that Fang Zhiya was very clean, and indeed, a woman would not want to look dirty in front of someone she cared about; that would surely not be good. He obediently left, then greeted the neighbors before standing there waiting. The couple just smiled and then went back into their room to prepare for their abusive activities. A few minutester, the door opened a crack, and Li Zhiyan quickly entered the apartment. Upon entering, he saw Fang Zhiya with wet hair standing before him. Aunt Fang was now dressed in a white button-up shirt, revealing her full 36D figure. Below that was the short skirt he had given her. Her fair and wless legs were perfectly exposed to his view. And now Aunt Fang was also wearing the ck high heels with red soles that he had gifted her. "Do they look... good?" In that moment, Fang Zhiya clearly felt quite bashful. For Li Zhiyan, she had indeed done many things she previously wouldn''t have dared to. Like wearing a short skirt, showing her legs, and today, even wearing high heels. "They look good..." "Aunt Fang, they look amazing." "Your legs look even more beautiful with the high heels." Li Zhiyan''s mind had already started fantasizing about Aunt Fang wearing stockings. "I''ll take a shower too." With that, Li Zhiyan locked the room door from the inside. Chapter 108: 085 Rental room, Aunt Fang wears stockings! [Extra large update 650] Because the rtionship hadpletely changed from what it was before, Li Zhiyan didn''t avoid Aunt Fang at all. "Aunt Fang, then let''s proceed as we agreed before." Looking at Fang Zhiya, who stood before him in high heels, revealing her smooth and beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan said softly. As he spoke, he gently ced his hand on Aunt Fang''s beautiful legs. Aunt Fang''s legs were indeed very beautiful. "Mm..." Although Fang Zhiya felt shy, she had promised Li Zhiyan and there was no way she could go back on her word. "Aunt Fang, please sit over there, I''ll stand. It''s just right." Fang Zhiya simply nodded lightly. After that, she fulfilled her promise. ... After Li Zhiyan left, Fang Zhiya''s heart was still thumping wildly, unable to calm down. She had actually fulfilled the agreementpletely; her chin still felt a bit hot, how embarrassing. She was such a shameless woman, involved with an 18-year-old youth like Li Zhiyan. Lately, they had been entangled, and their rtionship became increasingly indescribable. If she hadn''t been divorced, she really didn''t know how she would face her husband. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie is really starting to love you more and more." Suddenly, Fang Zhiya thought of her own son, a thorough scoundrel who had deceived her, something she could never forget. "Don''t think so much." Lying on the cool mat, looking at the high heels on her feet, Fang Zhiya felt that many aspects of herself that she hadn''t dared to contemte before were being steadily unearthed by Li Zhiyan. Like today, wearing a short skirt and high heels to help Li Zhiyan. Such things were unimaginable to her before. "What else will this child want me to do?" Deeply traditional inside, Fang Zhiya felt her values being slowly peeled back by Li Zhiyan, and somewhere in her heart, she was somewhat expectant. ... The next day, as Li Zhiyan yed games in the inte cafe, his thoughts kept drifting back to previous events. "Brother Yan, school starts the day after tomorrow, huh?" "Our good days are almost at an end." The old Li Shiyu always looked forward to the start of the school year, but now he was immersed in the joy of being the manager and didn''t want to go back to school. "You just don''t want to let go of your days as the manager." "Look at youcking ambition, just enjoy your university life." "University life is great, don''t worry." Li Shiyu took a gulp of iced c. "Brother Yan, keep in touch on QQ, once university starts, there might not be as much time." "Come on, our schools are less than a kilometer apart." "We can still y games together on Sundays, stop talking, log in." At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s thoughts turned to Su Mengchen and Shen Rongfei. In his past life at this stage, he hadn''t yet met Su Mengchen; this time was a bit ahead of schedule. Thinking of Su Mengchen with her limp, Li Zhiyan''s heart ached. This time, he would take care of her no matter what. And then there was his future mother-inw Shen Rongfei... He must take good care of his mother-inw and show her his utmost filial piety. In Li Zhiyan''s memory, his mother-inw always liked to wear red clothes, favoring a red cheongsam or red T-shirt in the summer. In the autumn and winter, she preferred to wear a red woolen coat. The word "morous" seemed tailor-made for her. What really lingered in Li Zhiyan''s memory was that his mother-inw had a deep fetish for ck stockings. No matter the asion, she would wear ck stockings that rose above mid-thigh or even up to her waist. With a beauty resembling the star Zeng Li, a D+ figure, and the pairing of ck stockings and high heels, countless people were infatuated with her. Even though his mother-inw was married, she still had innumerable admirers. However, her husband, after having a son with another woman in an affair, abandoned Aunt Shen and Mengchen. "I will make him go away..." "I will protect my mother-inw and wife." Li Zhiyan thought to himself. Also, he had to help Su Mengchen regain her confidence; he was very aware of how her beauty-envying ssmates kept taunting her as ''cripple'' behind her back, letting her hear it on purpose, inflicting great harm on her. During the subsequent gaming session, Li Zhiyan was somewhat distracted. Thinking about the uing school year, he felt quite uneasy. "Brother Yan, I feel like you''re a bit distracted." "Something on your mind?" "No, it''s nothing." "Let''s y the game, don''t worry, when Sunday rolls around and I''m free, I''ll stille find you to y games." After saying this, Li Shiyu nodded earnestly. In his heart, he recognized no other brother but Li Zhiyan. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan slowly came back to his senses, his mind filled with a longing for stockings. "Why not ask Aunt Fang to wear ck stockings for me to admire." "But..." After thinking it over, Li Zhiyan felt he should take things step by step. To some women, ck stockings were something that only a certain kind of women would wear. A traditional woman like Aunt Fang probably thought the same way. Of course, in reality, there''s nothing wrong with wearing ck stockings; his mother-inw, for example, was crazy about them. But such notions in people''s minds were beyond Li Zhiyan''s control... After some thought, perhaps flesh-toned stockings would be more eptable. Chapter 109: 085 Rental room, Aunt Fang wears stockings! [Extra large update 650]_2 One must have some patience, after all, I haven''t made the final breakthrough with Aunt Fang yet. Even now, it''s not bad to be able to get my hormone levels up every day. As Li Zhiyan was thinking about buying sheer stockings, the system released a task. "September 2nd." "Liu Yaolong, who unted his wealth despite being short of money, asked for money but failed." "So he made a deal with his ssmate Su Xiaolong." "Using the excuse of his mom''s birthday, he drugged Fang Zhiya." "In exchange for a payment of one hundred thousand yuan." "Please save her." "Reward for the task: fifty thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan''s head felt like it was going to explode... He even wanted to hammer Liu Yaolong to death. How could someone do such a thing to their own mom, and sell her out just to get a hundred thousand yuan for their own spending? And it was on his own mom''s birthday, no less. What difference was there between him and those gamblers who sell their children? As someone who was very close to his mom, Li Zhiyan hated these kinds of people the most. It took a while for him to calm down. Nothing that happened in this world could surprise him anymore. After all, all kinds of people exist, and when greed takes over one''s heart, one is no longer human but a beast. "Looks like once the drug takes effect, only I can sort it out, huh." A little after five, Li Zhiyan patted Li Shiyu on the shoulder. "No more ying for me, I''ve got some things to do, gotta leave." "Brother Yan, I''ll treat you to some fun at the bath center tonight," Li Shiyu''s sry was paid, and the first thing he thought of was to take Li Zhiyan to get a massage from a technician. In his previous life, his best friend always involved him when dancing with top technicians. "Alright, I''ve got stuff to do. You go on by yourself. I''ll arrange a high-end technician for youter, the kind that flies everywhere." "A flight attendant?" "Well... you could understand it that way." This kid, still so young. But now that I''ve reached my age, I''ve inherited Wei Wu''s legacy, the Prime Minister''s ambition, and it''s up to me to carry it on and flourish. ... After arriving at the women''s clothing store, Li Zhiyan began to select stockings. "Young man, buying stockings for your girlfriend? These sheer ck ones are very thin, ten yuan a pair." This aunt was clearly experienced, having encountered plenty of young men buying stockings here. "Auntie, I don''t want ck ones. Could you help me pick out a few sheer ones?" It''s not that he didn''t like ck stockings. Li Zhiyan really liked ck stockings, of course, bare legs were nice too. After all, who could not like immacte, white thighs? After paying, Li Zhiyan felt a strange mix of unease and excitement on his way. Asking Aunt Fang to wear stockings seemed to be at odds with her traditional values. But it seems I quite enjoy doing such things. Convincing a masseuse to change her ways, dragging a decent woman down with me, making women do things they don''t like¡ªthere''s a kind of strange sense of achievement in this process. It''s probably amon affliction. Having just arrived at Aunt Fang''s stall, Li Zhiyan saw from a distance that Liu Yaolong was standing there, talking to Fang Zhiya. Obviously, he was begging for Aunt Fang''s forgiveness. Liu Yaolong was extremely anxious at the moment; he hadn''t yet managed to siphon off the several hundred thousand yuan saved by his mother, and he was upset to have been caught lying. Recently, he had a lot of time to think and finally realized that his mother must have seen him outside, which is why she was so angry at him. "Mom, please forgive me. I really want to study and sign up for a more advanced ss," "But I was worried you wouldn''t agree!" "That''s why I lied to you. I didn''t do it on purpose." Fang Zhiya just kept serving noodles to the customers without saying a word, not even considering forgiving her son. The son she raised from childhood didn''t hold a candle to her student Li Zhiyan. Filled with sorrow, Fang Zhiya caught a glimpse of Li Zhiyan approaching out of the corner of her eye. "Xiao Yan." Her voice was filled with surprise. "Aunt Fang, I''m hungry." Li Zhiyan held the stockings in his hand, wanting to eat the noodles served by Aunt Fang. "Li Zhiyan, why are you here?" At that moment, Liu Yaolong''s attitude was very bad. Looking at the stockings in Li Zhiyan''s hand, he couldn''t shake the feeling that something was off. Li Zhiyan always seemed to annoy him. "Liu Yaolong, is that the way you talk to your ssmate?" "Why can''t he be here?" "Xiao Yan, have a seat. Auntie will serve you some noodles." After Liu Yaolong questioned Li Zhiyan with a very poor attitude, Fang Zhiya''s anger red uppletely. If it wasn''t for Li Zhiyan, what would have be of her? She couldn''t bear to think about it... And now, Liu Yaolong was being so unpleasant to Li Zhiyan. How could Fang Zhiya not be angry! Liu Yaolong didn''t dare to speak anymore; at times like this, it was better not to escte the conflict, otherwise, his chances of getting money were truly gone. He still fantasized about unting like a rich second-generation after the school started. All of a sudden, Li Zhiyan recalled a saying, "Xia Luo, is that the way you talk to your Uncle Zhang?" It didn''t take long for Fang Zhiya to serve the noodles, and she brought them to Li Zhiyan with chili sauce. When she put down the noodles, she also touched Li Zhiyan''s face. This action sent Liu Yaolong''s rage to its peak. He suddenly remembered the incident of his mother kissing a stranger the night before. The person standing in that corner must definitely be his own mother; there was no other exnation. So, the person kissing his mother, could it possibly be Li Zhiyan right in front of him! Chapter 110: 085 Rental room, Aunt Fang wears stockings! [Extra large update 650]_3 Thinking of this possibility, Liu Yaolong''s fists clenched tight. Li Zhiyan was his nemesis! Back in his senior year of high school, he often bullied him under the guise of being the ss president. But now, he was with his own mother? Even, had kissed his own mother. The stockings in his hand, could they be for his own mother to wear? In his heart, his mother was holy and immacte, incapable of such actions. With this thought, rage engulfed his heartpletely. "Li Zhiyan, what have you done to my mom!" He roared, but was quickly scolded by Fang Zhiya. "Get out of here now!" "I don''t want to see you!" His own son could only do such disgusting things, he felt ashamed of him when demanding payment. He thought the apartment she rented was trash and didn''t want to live with her. Later, he even constantly made up excuses to swindle her money when she was desperate. One thing after another! All these were unbearable for her! Such a son was indeed a beast; Fang Zhiya no longer wanted to see Liu Yaolong. "I''m leaving now, Mom; don''t be angry." Liu Yaolong took a deep breath, deciding to contain his fury for now... As long-term nning was necessary if he wanted money. With Li Zhiyan here, it was no longer easy to coax his mother; better wait for another opportunity. After Liu Yaolong left, Li Zhiyan continued eating his noodle sd, disliking the ss president even more. "Aunt Fang, don''t be angry." "Such a person is not worth it." "Just act as if Liu Yaolong never existed." Fang Zhiya took a deep breath, obviously still in shock. Li Zhiyan thought, once he had rescued Aunt Fang, he should find her a new ce. To say farewell to her past lifepletely, preventing Yao Long from persistently trying to swindle money. People driven by greed were truly capable of anything. "Okay, Xiao Yan, Auntie understands." "Auntie, wait a moment, I''ll go across the street to buy us two grilled sausages." After purchasing two grilled sausages from a stand across the street, Li Zhiyan returned and handed them to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, do you think you can eat these grilled sausages?" The golden sausages sizzled with oil and were sprinkled with some cumin, three yuan each, quite long at about 20cm, and very thick, providing a generous portion. For Aunt Fang, it seemed not so easy to enjoy them. However, Li Zhiyan thought Aunt Fang should at least take a few bites, as the barbecued vor was very appealing. "Auntie, please try it..." Struggling with the grilled sausage was indeed very difficult. But having meals with Li Zhiyan seemed to cheer up Fang Zhiya considerably; she felt very fortunate to have Li Zhiyan apanying her. "Aunt Fang, I''ll be starting school soon, but don''t worry, I will definitelye back to keep youpany often." "Good boy." Fang Zhiya''s heart felt increasingly reluctant, but it was a relief that Li Zhiyan was studying in Wancheng; otherwise, it would be truly unbearable for her not to see him. "Aunt Fang, could you try wearing these for meter?" Li Zhiyan pointed to the stockings in his hands. "What is this?" "Stockings..." "Stockings, it''s not good to wear such things; I used to really hate those women who wore ck stockings." Fang Zhiya clearly resisted the idea; she used to cover herself up tightly and had never even dared to think about wearing stockings. "Aunt Fang, these are not ck, they''re flesh-toned, almost the same color as the skin." "I want to see you wear them, would that be okay..." "Please agree to it for me." Fang Zhiya had already done too much for Li Zhiyan, wearing high heels, short skirts, and such. So, now she felt that wearing stockings for Li Zhiyan wasn''t out of the question; anyhow, they were not the ck ones that she found utterly uneptable. "Okay... Xiao Yan, I''ll wear them for you tonight. If you need to rx, I''ll help you." By now, Fang Zhiya had epted the progress in her rtionship with Li Zhiyan. After all, it wasn''t a real transgression, so there was really no harm. "Aunt Fang." "You''re so kind..." "But I have one more request." Li Zhiyan gently brushed Fang Zhiya''s cherry lips. "Aunt Fang, when you help me, can you do it like this?" Whispering his request into Fang Zhiya''s ear, Li Zhiyan shared what he wanted from her. Under the streetlight, the sight of the young man and the mature woman whispering together had a striking visual impact. "That... That''s not appropriate..." Fang Zhiya felt that she couldn''t possibly meet Li Zhiyan''s request. After all, there were some things that simply couldn''t be tolerated. "Aunt Fang, please, would you do it for me..." "As long as it isn''t really an abusive act, it''s all fine, right Aunt Fang?" Li Zhiyan kept coaxing Fang Zhiya. He knew that ever since that breakthrough moment before, it was much easier to make further requests. "Let Auntie think about it..." "I''ll tell you after we get home." Fang Zhiya felt she should reject Li Zhiyan; she had never tried such things before. But she couldn''t bring herself to refuse Xiao Yan. Maybe it was because she owed him too much. Well, as long as it wasn''t crossing that final line. It seemed to make little difference. After packing up the stand, Li Zhiyan pushed Aunt Fang''s cart as they headed home. Chapter 111: 085 Rental room, Aunt Fang wears stockings! [Extra large update 650]_4 "Aunt Fang, take your time to consider; I won''t rush you." Fang Zhiya said softly, "Auntie can agree to your request." After hearing Aunt Fang agree to his request, Li Zhiyan also felt somewhat excited. This time, he could also treat Aunt Fang to a meal. Having tidied up the car and followed Fang Zhiya upstairs, unsurprisingly, they ran into the domestic abuser couple again. Thinking about it, this abusive couple really did provide quite a bit of assistance... In this respect, they were somewhat simr to Li Meifeng. After opening the door, as usual, Fang Zhiya indicated she wanted to take a shower first. She was getting more and more used to this rhythm. Li Zhiyan greeted the abusive couple at the door. Then he looked at the distant scenery; Wancheng''s suburban area still didn''t have the glitz and mor it would have 14 yearster. This rtively serene scenery, apanied by the cicada''s song of midsummer, made Li Zhiyan feel quite content. Soon, there really was something to look forward to. ... After taking a shower, Fang Zhiya picked up her toothbrush and brushed her teeth ahead of time. Her heart felt somewhatplicated; recently, so many things had happened. She had unexpectedly divorced because of her husband''s debts, and now she was single. It was also because she was single that her rtionship with Li Zhiyan had developed so quickly to this point. If it continued like this, what would her future be like... Brushing her teeth twice in a row and smelling no odor afterward, Fang Zhiya finally rxed, realizing she needed to make an effort soon. Then her attention shifted to the stockings Li Zhiyan had left behind; she gently unwrapped the packaging. Fang Zhiya''s face was already getting hot; such things were indeed a bit embarrassing for her. But she had already agreed to Li Zhiyan''s request, so she had to follow through. After all, she couldn''t break her promise in front of an 18-year-old child. After putting on the flesh-colored stockings... Fang Zhiya changed into her ck short skirt that she had already washed clean. In the summer warmth, it had dried quickly after a day. Then, putting on her high heels, she looked in the mirror at thebination of a white blouse, a ck short skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and high heels and felt unbearably shy. Were these clothes she would wear? In the past, she would not even dare to think about it. All the changes in herself now were all because of Li Zhiyan. Wearing her high heels, she came to the door and unlocked it. "Creak..." The sound of the door opening came, and outside, Li Zhiyan saw a sliver of light seeping through the crack in the door. To him, the sound was exceedingly melodious. After entering, the first thing Li Zhiyan did was lock the door. What followed was his private time with Aunt Fang; they couldn''t be disturbed. Only after closing the door did he begin to admire Aunt Fang before him. "Aunt Fang, you look so good in stockings, especially when paired with these stockings and high heels; it''s truly incredible." "I love it so much." Fang Zhiya felt very shy in her heart yet also delighted. Did Li Zhiyan like such attire? Wearing this at home for him was actually no big deal; after all, no one would see her in their home. If she had to wear this outside, she definitely couldn''t ept it. "Really?" "Yes, Aunt Fang, so can we now fulfill the promise?" Fang Zhiya nodded gently, then led Li Zhiyan towards the other side of the rental... Afterward, she slowly knelt down. Chapter 130: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou! Gu Wanzhou hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to be so bold. It was a sudden attack,pletely unlike his previous secretive demeanor. Moreover, she felt that he had imperceptibly licked her. "Goodness, don''t do that..." "Don''t treat Auntie like this." Under the bridge, Gu Wanzhou had sobered up a bit by now. In her heart, she had always nned to coolly handle her rtionship with Li Zhiyan. Ultimately, she wanted him topletely forget about confessing his feelings to her. After all, he was now in college, where he might fall for some young and beautiful girls, and then all the issues would be solved. But as it happened, she had just agreed to be his girlfriend, even if it was only for a month, but it still counted. It was all because they were so fated that she had been so out of it, she supposed. Maybe it truly was destined to be. "Don''t be like this..." Gu Wanzhou held Li Zhiyan''s face, now finding him more and more agreeable the more she looked at him. Given Gu Wanzhou''s extremely assertive nature, Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to be too presumptuous. One could tell from her ex-husband''s attitude towards Aunt Gu that she was a very assertive person, including how much Yu Sisi feared Gu Wanzhou; it was just that she always treated herself like a child, and also had a good impression of him. That''s why she was so gentle with him. Aunt Gu was not like Aunt Fang; sometimes he could be more unrestrained with her because she was a more traditional woman. No matter what he did, she would just take it quietly and withstand it secretly. But assertive women like Aunt Gu were different. Some things had to be negotiated and agreed upon with her before proceeding, or else it might really end in aplete fallout. "Aunt Gu, I thought you were my girlfriend now, that''s why I kissed you..." Gu Wanzhou started walking towards the south. "Let''s take a walk." Li Zhiyan followed her, and right now, there was a feeling of excitement in his heart. No matter what, this was a good start, if it wasn''t for making Aunt Gu believe that they were truly fated, he and Aunt Gu would really never have a chance to begin. He was clear that what separated him and Gu Wanzhou was not just age, but also Yu Sisi. After all, he had pursued Yu Sisi before, and the problems he had to face afterwards were just too many. "Auntie is only your girlfriend for one month." After a while, Gu Wanzhou said somewhat dreamily, feeling the alcohol kicking in again. Being drunk really wasn''t too pleasant. "A one-month girlfriend is still a girlfriend," "I still want to exercise the rights of being your boyfriend." Gu Wanzhou found it somewhat amusing; she had only agreed to be his girlfriend for a month, and yet this kid had started to let his imagination run wild. "What do you want to do?" "Kids aren''t allowed to date." Li Zhiyan hurriedly said, "I''m not a kid, I am 18 and a half, a real adult now." "I know underage love isn''t right, but I''m not underage anymore." "You''ve agreed to be my girlfriend for a month, so you can''t go back on your word no matter what." At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s task wasplete, his savings ount had reached a whopping 660,000. Plus the actual liquidation value of the inte cafe, in terms of assets, Li Zhiyan was now a millionaire. "I..." Gu Wanzhou really wanted to take back her words, but as a strong and prideful woman, she simply couldn''t back down. At 41, she couldn''t possibly be indecisive in front of a boy 23 years her junior. That would be too embarrassing. For someone as proud as Gu Wanzhou, it was impossible. "Auntie won''t go back on her word, darling, you just be at ease." "However, I want to have a tonic rtionship with you." "During this month, when Auntie has time, I will date you, but we can''t do anything excessive, got it?" Gu Wanzhou truly loved the boy standing before her very much. Otherwise, she would not have been so proactive in wanting to be his godmother. She has always been very resistant to the idea of godmothers and godsons. But the boy kept pursuing her, and now, it had actually happened, albeit only for a month. "Can''t I touch your legs?" Walking down the street, Li Zhiyan asked very seriously. Gu Wanzhou felt likeughing. What was this boy thinking? If she didn''t understand him and know he wasn''t some lowlife, his words would sound like those of a hooligan. In Gu Wanzhou''s heart, Li Zhiyan was a very pure boy. Sometimes his strange behavior was just because of his hormones. That''s normal, she herself had some pretty strange ideas during her adolescence. "You can''t touch my legs!" She corrected him earnestly. "But when I massage you, isn''t that also touching your legs?" For a moment, Gu Wanzhou felt at a loss for words. It seemed like twisted logic, but technically, massaging wasn''t much different from touching legs. But they weren''t the same thing. "That''s for treatment, it''s not the same thing." "In any case, touching legs is not okay." Li Zhiyan: "Then I won''t touch your legs, I''ll give you a massage." "Can we kiss, then?" Gu Wanzhou felt like she had no way of dealing with Li Zhiyan; who made her like this kid so much! Chapter 131: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_2 "No kissing!" "Girlfriends are emotionalpanions, not for doing those strange things in your head." Li Zhiyan continued to ask, "Then can we hold hands?" "No holding hands." Gu Wanzhou again refused. In her heart, she was still considering acknowledging Li Zhiyan as her godson in the future. If some lines were crossed too much, it wouldn''t be so simple to return to the way things were before. What Li Zhiyan had secretly done in the past could be ignored, but if anything more happened while actually dating, there would be no turning back. Gu Wanzhou was very confident! She could stick to her boundaries during the time they were dating and not let this kid take advantage of her. "Isn''t it too much to not even hold hands, Aunt Gu?" "It''s not too much..." Li Zhiyan didn''t say anything. After a while, Gu Wanzhou also felt that it might indeed be too much to not even allow holding hands. After all, even in normal times, Li Zhiyan would sometimes hold her hand. "Alright, since you look so pitiful, we can hold hands, but nothing else," she relented. "Aunt Gu, remember we''re only dating for a month." Li Zhiyan said softly, "Okay, I understand, Aunt Gu." "Give me your hand, I want to take a walk with you while holding hands." "Wanzhou..." Li Zhiyan suddenly called Gu Wanzhou by her name, which gave him a sudden surge of nervousness. Calling Aunt Gu by her name "Wanzhou" seemed almost too audacious. It was like calling his own mom by her first name "Rongrong." After all, Aunt Gu was not the type who was trendy enough to ept a junior calling her by her first name. But now he was her boyfriend, albeit for just a month. He should be allowed to call her by her name, shouldn''t he? As he called out the name "Wanzhou," Li Zhiyan clearly felt Gu Wanzhou tense up. "What are you calling me...?" "You should be polite to your elders, call me Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to continue calling her by name. "Aunt Gu." "Now that I am your boyfriend, calling you by your name asionally shouldn''t be a problem." This time Gu Wanzhou didn''t object. asionally saying it wasn''t really a problem. "Here." Gu Wanzhou stretched out her hand, offering it to Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Gu, it kind of feels like you''re giving me pocket money," he said. Despite hisment, Li Zhiyan still took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. His heart was filled with longing. What would it feel like if one day Aunt Gu willingly let him touch her leg? Fortunately, he had already established a rtionship with Aunt Gu. Many things would be more convenient in the future. Without the status of being a boyfriend, perhaps many situations would never unfold. Just like the first time he showed the token of affection in front of Aunt Fang, things really progressed quickly from there. Feeling the silky touch of Aunt Gu''s hand, Li Zhiyan truly did not want to let go. "Aunt Gu, your hand is so soft, much softer than mine, and so white too." "After all, an aunt is a woman." Perhaps because she had been drinking, Gu Wanzhou''s mind conjured up the image of using her hand to service Li Zhiyan. It seems drinking really does no good. The two walked on, for over half an hour. Li Zhiyan still hadn''t let go of Gu Wanzhou''s hand. Gu Wanzhou, wearing high heels, was really getting tired. "My dear, haven''t you held Aunt Gu''s hand long enough?" In such weather, although it was already past nine o''clock, her palm was sweaty from holding hands for so long. Even so, Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go. "This is the first time I''ve held a girl''s hand, so of course I don''t want to let go. I want to keep holding your hand." Li Zhiyan wasn''t lying; every day felt like a first time. "You''re telling me it''s your first time holding a girl''s hand?" Gu Wanzhou found it surprising, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. He had always been pursuing Sisi and hadn''t had a girlfriend before, and after all, he was only 18, so it was normal for him to give his firsts to her. "Yes, Aunt Gu, that''s why I can''t bear to let go." As they continued, Gu Wanzhou''s pace gradually slowed; walking in high heels for so long was clearly taxing. Li Zhiyan, noticing Aunt Gu was tired, said, "Let me carry you back, Aunt Gu." Gu Wanzhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. At such times, it was clear she couldn''t make it back on her own, and there was no point in pretending otherwise. Li Zhiyan crouched down, and Gu Wanzhou leaned onto him. With a firm grip on Aunt Gu''s tight skirt, Li Zhiyan hoisted her onto his back and set off. Although Aunt Gu stood around 170 centimeters tall, she wasn''t heavy at all. Her bust alone ounted for a significant percentage of her total body weight. As they walked, his blood cirction sped up, and physically strengthened as he was, carrying Aunt Gu for a few hours wouldn''t be a problem; after all, some activities could be much more tiring than carrying someone for a few hours. Men passing by looked at Li Zhiyan with envy and inferiority; young men are really something else. Not only are they mature beyond their years, but to carry a woman so effortlessly is quite impressive. Lying on Li Zhiyan''s back, Gu Wanzhou felt very tired and wanted to sleep but somehow couldn''t. Chapter 132: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_3 Now, between me and Li Zhiyan, we really do have that romantic feeling and vor... Before returning to the hotel, Li Zhiyan saw that the drunkard was still sprawled on the ground. It was obvious that after my kick, he simply couldn''t be bothered to get up. The drunkard posed no threat to Aunt Gu, but he did create an opportunity for me. When we came to Gu Wanzhou''s Mercedes E-ss, Li Zhiyan somewhat reluctantly put her down. "Aunt Gu, let me drive you home." This offer surprised Gu Wanzhou. "You can drive?" "Of course, I''m very good at driving. I was the best at driving school, nobody could drive better than me." My mom loves me so much that she had me learn to get my driver''s license on Sundays after I''de of age. After the college entrance exams, I got my C1 license in a crash course. After all, if Bruce got a C1, getting a driver''s license for me was really easy. In my former life, it was two years after graduating from university that Li Zhiyan eventually began to drive. With so many years of driving experience, he''s definitely an old hand at it now. When the engine overheats, when to start the car, when to step on the gas, when to shift gears, and issues with the car''s chassis and noises¡ªhe knows it all too well. Driving Aunt Gu home would be no problem at all. "Okay, then Aunt Gu wants to see your driving skills." Gu Wanzhou got into the passenger seat. Those like her who were in the business, often needing to use vehicles, always had insurance, so Gu Wanzhou was not worried about Li Zhiyan wrecking the car. However, after seeing how expertly Li Zhiyan started the car, she couldn''t help but ask, bewildered, "My, my, Aunt Gu feels like you''ve been driving for many years." "Maybe I''m just naturally talented." Li Zhiyan leaned in closer, suddenly approaching her, letting Gu Wanzhou sense the masculine scent of his body, making her instinctively feel tense, and her face began to turn red. Could it be that he wants to kiss me... But it was only after Li Zhiyan pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it for her that he stepped on the gas to set off. When taking a turn, he habitually steered with one hand, not to show off but simply out of personal habit; someday if he had the means, he would drive a Ferrari the same way, single-handed. However, his right hand kept subconsciously reaching toward Aunt Gu''s leg, which he managed to refrain from touching. If he actually touched Aunt Gu''s leg, there would be trouble. It was not until they arrived at Gu Wanzhou''s residentialplex that Li Zhiyan finally rxed; he truly couldn''t feel at ease if he didn''t escort Aunt Gu home at thiste hour. Standing at the doorway to her home after taking the elevator, Li Zhiyan said with some reluctance, "Then, Aunt Gu, I''ll head back now." "Wanzhou, as your boyfriend, may I embrace you before we part?" Li Zhiyan made a request for a hug. "No..." Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn''t give up so easily; he had to feel Aunt Gu''s embrace once more. "Aunt Gu, please, Wanzhou." "Please..." "Just once, just one time, Aunt Gu, I promise it''ll be just a hug." He clung to Gu Wanzhou''s hand and wouldn''t let go, almost as if he wouldn''t leave without a cuddle. "You child..." As Gu Wanzhouughed at being called Wanzhou repeatedly, she also felt she had no recourse against Li Zhiyan; their entanglement was indeed a bit too deep. They were already inseparable now. "Fine then, but hurry up and leave after the hug." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan eagerly embraced Gu Wanzhou, greedily inhaling the fragrance of her body after circling his arms around her waist. The scent of Gu Wanzhou''s body was truly special, unforgettable for Li Zhiyan. Feeling Aunt Gu''s warmth, Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go. "My dear, is this what you mean by ''just once''?" After Gu Wanzhou patted Li Zhiyan''s head, they finally separated. "Aunt Gu, have a good rest, I''m heading back now." "Take my car back with you, it''s not safe thiste." "It''s okay, Aunt Gu, I''d have to bring your car back again, and as a man, there''s nothing unsafe for me, and ordinary people are no match for me anyway." Aunt Gu didn''t doubt this; even though Li Zhiyan was just over one seventy, he was really fierce in a fight¡ªlet''s not even bring up the drunkard. Previously, that one eighty-plus guy, Huang Mao, who was very strong, was quickly taken down by Li Zhiyan. Still, at this moment, Aunt Gu felt incredibly worried. "Forget it, you can stay at my ce tonight." "It''s just me at home right now; you can sleep in the guest room." Upon hearing he could stay at Gu Wanzhou''s ce, Li Zhiyan couldn''t control the excitement in his heart any longer. "Great, Aunt Gu, let''s go inside then." "You don''t seem shy at all." "Wanzhou, what do I have to be shy about? You''re my girlfriend now, it''s only natural for the two of us to live together." Li Zhiyan''s words made Gu Wanzhou''s face heat up. After entering the home and surveying the interior, Li Zhiyan knew that he was going to be the master of the house. "You go take a shower first. Use that bathroom, and I''ll also take a shower." "Aunt Gu, you want to shower with me?" Although he really liked calling Gu Wanzhou by her name, Li Zhiyan was still a bit timid at heart. He could imagine Aunt Gu''s assertive nature. Although she''s always been gentle with him. Chapter 133: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_4 "What are you thinking about, Li Zhiyan?" "The master bedroom has a bathroom too, we can use whichever we want. What strange thoughts are filling your head?" "If you keep this up, I won''t date you anymore." Li Zhiyan hurriedly said, "Sorry, Aunt Gu." "I won''t say any more. You go take a bath." After Gu Wanzhou went back to her room, Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, with the weather being so hot, a bath was really needed. He went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and quickly showered. Only after his shower did Li Zhiyan feel a pleasant sensation, but then came the headache¡ªhis shirt and underwear were soaked with sweat. It was really troublesome, but Li Zhiyan wasn''t one to fuss. He simply threw his underwear and shirt into theundry basket, wearing just his shorts as hey down on the sofa, feeling veryfortable. Men probably only need a few minutes to shower, while it is different for women, especially beautiful women, whose bath time often exceeds expectations. Li Zhiyan looked at his phone that had only one bar of battery left, took out another battery from his pocket to rece it, then picked up the universal charger from the table to charge the dead battery. Li Zhiyan happily turned on QQ. Unfortunately, such a great thing as a universal charger wouldn''tst long before itpletely disappeared from history. After opening QQ, there were many messages. Messages from Auntie Rao, Auntie Jiang. Also from Mom''s best friend Wu Qingxian. Messages from his mother-inw, as well as from the counselor. The counselor''s messages were all filled with concern for him. Wu Qingxian: "Xiao Yan, are you at school? Auntie is now working at apany near your school." "Come over when you have time, and Auntie will cook for you." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Aunt Wu, it''s been a long time since I''ve had your cooking." Han Xueying: "ssmate Li Zhiyan." "Even though you are exempt from military training, the temporary ss leader couldn''t find you during the dormitory check." "This isn''t good. Come to the field obediently tomorrow, the teacher wants to see you in person." "Otherwise, it''s worrying for the teacher not to see you." The counselor was just such a caring woman, the perfect elder sister figure, with whom one could talk about anything. But Li Zhiyan knew beneath her gentle smiley much hidden suffering. Li Zhiyan: "I understand, Teacher Han." "I''ll go to school tomorrow, rest assured, I''m really fine." Now that Fang Zhiya had gone to work and would only be back in the evening, he felt quite bored being alone during the day. Going to the field to chat with Han Xueying wasn''t a bad idea. After all, he admired the counselor''s enduring charm. Then came messages from Shen Rongfei. Towards this woman with a face as bewitching as a bewitching fox, Li Zhiyan really respected her from the bottom of his heart. Shen Rongfei: "Li Zhiyan." "How is your rtionship with Chenchen progressing?" Within the spacious t, Shen Rongfeiy on the sofa, her long shapely stockinged legs as eye-catching as ever. At any time, she was obsessed with stockings. Now all of Shen Rongfei''s thoughts were focused on her daughter. She hoped someone could help her daughter unlock the emotional barriers that had been sealed for so long. To see the smile of her childhood return to her daughter''s face. Li Zhiyan: "Mom, don''t worry." "I''m trying my best. No matter how difficult, I will help Chenchen get through it." Being so straightforwardly called ''Mom'', Shen Rongfei felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in her heart. Her face struggled to hide a smile, and when she did, the gorgeousness was magnified to the extreme. This kid, really did seem to want to be her son-inw. Although it was a bit amusing... However, Shen Rongfei could feel that the kid was indeed very sincere in wanting to be her son-inw. And she had even visited the Brotherhood Inte Cafe. After inquiring, she found out that Li Zhiyan indeed took over an almost bankrupt inte cafe at a low price and turned it profitable. He had the kind of ability to turn decay into a miracle. Thinking about it, Shen Rongfei liked the kid even more. In the future, he was very likely to be her son-inw. With her stockinged legs pressed together, Shen Rongfei began to slowly text chat with Li Zhiyan. Shen Rongfei: "Alright, then you work hard, and report back to Auntie anytime there''s a situation." "But ''Mom'' can be saved forter." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Aunt Shen, but in my heart, you''re already my mother." After chatting for a bit with people on QQ, Li Zhiyan then focused all his attention on chatting with Su Mengchen. Su Mengchen took a long time to reply, but he wasn''t in a hurry, persistently typing away to Su Mengchen. To break through the defenses of a tough inner heart, one must tirelessly chip away, with persistence, until finally reaching her heart, achieving the result he wanted. After chatting for over half an hour, the door to the master bedroom opened. Li Zhiyan briefly put down his phone. "Aunt Gu, you''ve finished showering." Just out of the bath, Gu Wanzhou''s skin looked even softer, and her damp hair brought out her femininity to the fullest. Aunt Gu, even without wearing her tailored pencil skirt, still exuded a strong womanly charm. "Yeah, what are you lying here for?" Seeing Li Zhiyan shirtless, her face flushed slightly. It had to be said, Li Zhiyan''s physique was quite good. Though he didn''t have a six-pack, his shape and lines were perfect, and just looking at him made one feel a certain inexplicable sense of strength. Chapter 134: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_5 "I''ll chat on QQ for a bit, and I''ll be right back." "Aunt Gu, do you have a headache? Do you want me to massage your head for you?" "It''s much better now, you go back to your room and sleep." "By the way..." Gu Wanzhou went back to her room, then came out with a set of clothes. "My clothes, you wear them first." "Leave your pants in the bathroom, Auntie will wash them for you in a bit." Li Zhiyan never expected that he would one day wear Aunt Gu''s clothes. But this white shirt and the rtively loose shorts were quite alright to wear. "Alright." In the bathroom, after Li Zhiyan changed into the clothes, he felt very squeezed although Aunt Gu had a height around 170, but after all, she was a woman. Things that used to be hidden when wearing his own clothes now seemed less conceble. Aftering out of the bathroom, Li Zhiyan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Aunt Gu." "I''m going to rest first." Watching Li Zhiyan''s retreating figure... Gu Wanzhou''s heart pounded wildly. This kid really is talented, and now, she was supposedly his girlfriend? She returned to her room once, took her own clothes out as well. Gu Wanzhou mixed Li Zhiyan''s shirt and pants with her shirt and skirt and threw them into the washing machine. As for the underwear, she was used to hand-washing it. Gently rubbing the underwear in a small basin, Gu Wanzhou''s thoughts began to wander. It took her another ten or so minutes before she went back to her room. The alcohol and the day''s events mingled in her mind, and Gu Wanzhou fell into a heavy sleep. ... The next morning at eight, Gu Wanzhou woke up first. As usual, she stretched, and the memories of yesterday surged like a tide, giving her a bit of a headache. What on earth had she done yesterday? She went drinking, and because the partner was a woman and they had history, she didn''t call for help to avoid any ident, and she drank a lot. Later, she encountered a drunkard... And then, Li Zhiyan appeared, and somehow, she became his girlfriend, even though it was just for a month. But a girlfriend nevertheless. If certain things weren''t well controlled, they could really spiral in an uncontroble direction. If things truly went that far, the result would inevitably be a mess since there was a 23-year age gap between her and him, and after all, he had chased Si Si for so long. "Little Darling and I, we really are fated." Though she didn''t want to admit it, Gu Wanzhou found that her nned cold treatment was utterly ineffective! She would always end up bumping into Li Zhiyan under various circumstances, getting more entangled, and inseparable. The probability of such low-probability events happening in session was even lower than winning the lottery, yet they just kept cropping up in her life. "I should go check on the little guy." Thinking ofst night''s scene when she was washing Li Zhiyan''s clothes, and that ''20'' mark, her lovely face turned a bit red. And yes, she did let him wear her clothes. After going to the guest room, she gently pushed the door open. Gu Wanzhou then saw Li Zhiyan sound asleep. Young people are truly arrogant... Gu Wanzhou took a nce and then quietly withdrew to make breakfast for Li Zhiyan. Somehow, having Li Zhiyan at home suddenly felt quite fulfilling. Not long after, Li Zhiyan came out wearing Gu Wanzhou''s shorts and white button-up shirt. "Wanzhou!" After seeing Gu Wanzhou''s look, Li Zhiyan hurriedly corrected himself to Aunt Gu. The temper of someone who has just woken up is not too good! "Aunt Gu." "You''re up so early." Li Zhiyan was wearing a shirt that was quite small, and it was obviously just bulging at the front. Clearly, without Aunt Gu''s bosom, it was impossible to casually fill out this shirt. "Of course, Auntie has to get up to make breakfast for you." In the kitchen, Gu Wanzhou''s graceful figure made Li Zhiyan really want to hold her from behind. But he truly felt timid before the assertive Aunt Gu. After a while, he stepped forward. And took hold of Gu Wanzhou''s jade hand. "Aunt Gu." "Your hands are so pretty." "Wanting to hold hands this early in the day, huh." Li Zhiyan said helplessly, "You only let me hold your hand; I can only touch your hand, since you don''t let me do anything else." "Anyway, this month, I can use your hand freely." "So you''re saying your Aunt''s hand is yours for this month?" "Yes, that''s what you promised me." Feeling the smooth touch of Gu Wanzhou''s jade hand, Li Zhiyan held her hand. And then gently kissed it. That slightly warm and moist sensation made Gu Wanzhou feel like she had been electrically shocked. "Xiao Yan..." "Aunt Gu, since I can hold hands, then a light kiss should be okay, too, right?" "No..." Looking into Li Zhiyan''s eager eyes, Gu Wanzhou, who intended to refuse, swallowed her words of rejection; this kid had really helped her out a lottely. Just a kiss on the hand, after all, wasn''t much different from holding hands. "Alright, but no kissing for too long." The next second, Gu Wanzhou''s face turned even redder. "Xiao Yan... Don''t lick Auntie''s hand..." Chapter 117: 087 Saved Su Mengchen, the charming vixen Shen Rongfei ``` At that time, Liu Yaolong had no feelings of a son for his mother in his heart. The only thought in his mind was to exchange his mother for money. He knew if he drugged his mother once, Su Xiaolong was willing to pay him a hundred thousand yuan. In the future, whenever he ran out of money, he''d use his old mother to get some. This cycle would ensure that his university life would be the epitome of carefree. "Okay, you can arrange it then, I''lle by your school tomorrow to give you the drug." "Once I get a taste of the flesh, I''ll give you the money." The voice at the end of the phone was full of longing, but Liu Yaolong, driven by greed, no longer cared about that anymore. ... That evening, the university had already begun arranging the matters for military training. There was endless chattering in the dorm, while Li Zhiyan sat under the fan. He had just deposited the thirty thousand yuan given by Li Meifeng into his bank card. The 530,000 yuan bnce on his bank card made Li Zhiyan feel veryfortable. The eight hundred yuan monthly living expense was enough for a college student. After this, he''d buy his mother a new house. "Let me tell you guys, the first time I did it with my girlfriend..." "Weid out a straw mat on the ground." "Later, I noticed her back was all marked up." "Back then, I didn''t know anything, it went on for half an hour, man." After Jiang Zexi''s remark, Zhang Zhiyuan was not to be outdone. "I''ve had five or six girlfriends, and they all loved my size 15." Su Quanyou was unimpressed. "I don''t like real women. I still prefer Qiong Sister." Li Zhiyan listened to their talk about size 15 and such,ughing without saying anything. Laughing without saying anything! That night, the system released a new mission. "Su Mengchen has arrived at the school under Shen Rongfei''s escort." "She''s about to reach the female dormitory building." "The department head''s son, Yin Qiang, has taken a liking to Su Mengchen''s beauty and ns to deceive her, y with her until he''s bored, and then dump her." "Please make Yin Qiang hit the road." "Mission reward, thirty thousand yuan cash." Li Zhiyan''s hands were slightly trembling, Su Mengchen hade... After taking a deep breath, Li Zhiyan calmed down. Yin Qiang was the head of the student council, a second-year student with a wealthy family background. And because of his department head''s mother, he was appointed as the student council president at the school. He always drove a BMW 3 Series to school. He had also been involved with many girls at school and was a bona fide yboy. He had no interactions with Chenchen, so why was he suddenly interested in her now? Li Zhiyan was certain that in his previous life, Su Mengchen had had no interactions with him. Because she never knew this yboy. After some thought, he concluded it must be some butterfly effect. "Li Zhiyan, where are you going? Do you like Su Mengyue?" "I''m fine, just going out for a walk." After chatting idly with a few noisy dorm mates, Li Zhiyan headed straight for the female dormitory. Sure enough, he hadn''t been there long when a Mercedes S series pulled up below the female dorm. Behind it followed a BMW 3 Series. Clearly, this BMW belonged to Yin Qiang. Seeing Su Mengchen limp down from the car, Li Zhiyan''s eyes moistened. Chenchen... Then, the mother-inw figure, dressed in a red cheongsam essorized with ck stockings and high heels, also got out. "Aunt Shen!" "You can rest assured, if Chenchen has any matters at school in the future, leave them to me." "I''m particrly familiar with this school." Yin Qiang had not expected to encounter Shen Rongfei, his mother''s friend. The key was that her daughter was so beautiful. It was a pity she was handicapped, and she also had autism! She was simply irresistible. This kind of girl is sensitive and vulnerable on the inside, very guarded against others. But as long as you treat her nicely, surely it''d be easy to win her heart. That girl''s bust size had to be at least a D,bined with those snowy white legs, perfect except for the fact that she was a cripple. Once he had her, he''d y with her until bored and then break up. He had been with so many girls before, but he had never yed with this kind before. In Yin Qiang''s n, he''d conquer Su Mengchen within seven days! "Alright." Shen Rongfei had actually intended to send her daughter to the university after the military training was over. But after some thought, she still felt it was better to let Su Mengchen get acquainted with her roommates earlier. Otherwise, once they became familiar with each other, it would be difficult for her daughter to blend in. No problem for ordinary people, but her daughter had autistic tendencies. When registering, she saw her friend''s son, Yin Qiang, and had a good impression of the young man. A well-off family, polite, and with him looking after her daughter at school... The situation should be much better. If her daughter was willing, it could lead to a good match in the future. Looking at Shen Rongfei''s ck silk stockings, Li Zhiyan recalled Aunt Shen''s obsession with ck, always wearing ck stockings regardless of the asion. And those ck stockings under her cheongsam showcased their charm to the utmost. Li Zhiyan had never thought the term "gorgeous" was tailor-made for anyone. Not until he saw Aunt Shen again did he truly understand this feeling. Perhaps no one in this world fit the term "gorgeous" more aptly than Aunt Shen. "You can take the luggage in, I can''t enter the female dormitory. Let''s go for a mealter, and have a good chat with sister Chenchen." Su Mengchen hung her head low and said nothing, instinctively protecting herself, she had an aversion to this Yin Qiang. Chenchen felt that this Yin Qiang was not a good person! She subconsciously disliked him. ``` Chapter 118: 087 Saved Su Mengchen, the charming vixen Shen Rongfei_2 "Okay, wait here for Auntie a moment," Shen Rongfei entered the girls'' dormitory with her suitcase. Since Su Mengchen''s dormitory was on the first floor, it was somewhat convenient. Before long, she emerged with Su Mengchen, who was walking with a slight limp. "Let''s go, Yin Qiang. Auntie will treat you to a meal. It''s a good opportunity for you and my Chenchen to have a nice chat," Seizing the moment, Yin Qiang stepped forward, trying to take Su Mengchen''s arm. Su Mengchen instinctively tried to dodge, but Yin Qiang was intent on taking advantage. Of course, Li Zhiyan would not let Yin Qiang seed! He stepped in front of Su Mengchen and grabbed Yin Qiang''s wrist. "Get lost!" Yin Qiang was furious when someone suddenly told him to get lost. This was a university; did he think it was high school where one could fight at will? But the next moment, intense pain made him scream. At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s gaze instilled soul-deep fear, as he saw in those eyes an intent to kill. What had he done to deserve such enmity? After teaching Yin Qiang a lesson, Li Zhiyan finally let him go. "Get lost." Although Yin Qiang felt humiliated, he was truly scared that this brash young man might stab him, suspecting he might have been involved with his sister or something. Feeling like a guilty thief, Yin Qiang threatened Li Zhiyan a few times before driving off in his BMW. The task was aplished quickly, and Li Zhiyan''s savings reached 560,000 yuan. "Who are you..." By then, several onlooking girls who had wanted to watch a fight became bored when they saw their senior back down and returned to their dormitory. Shen Rongfei pulled Su Mengchen behind her. Although her presence was strong, it had little deterrent effect in front of Li Zhiyan. Being so close, she was afraid Li Zhiyan might turn to violence. However, there was no grudge between them; surely he would not do such a thing. Looking at her mother-inw''s red cheongsam and ck stockings, and Su Mengchen, who looked somewhat scared, Li Zhiyan respectfully said, "Aunt Shen, Mengchen." "That Yin Qiang is not a good person; he often toys with girls'' feelings in school." "I heard him telling a friend that he intended to deceive Mengchen emotionally." Shen Rongfei''s beautiful face showed a hint of confusion, and her guard against Li Zhiyan rxed slightly. Despite the violence from Li Zhiyan earlier making a negative impression on her, she now felt that he must know her and her daughter. "You know us?" "Yes, it''s from when we were kids. Under the big banyan tree on Xingyuan Street, Mengchen and I were childhood ymates." "I''ve seen you before." Li Zhiyan knew a lot about Su Mengchen and now fabricated a story of being childhood ymates, which was very conducive to growing closer to Chenchen. And Su Mengchen probably didn''t remember much about her childhood. "So, when I heard that Yin Qiang had ill intentions toward Mengchen, that''s why I was so angry, Aunt Shen." "If you don''t believe me, you can ask around school about Yin Qiang''s reputation." Seeing Li Zhiyan''s earnest demeanor, Shen Rongfei believed him somewhat. That was close; she had almost pushed her daughter into a pit of fire. At that moment, she felt quite a good impression of Li Zhiyan in front of her. "What''s your name?" "My name is Li Zhiyan. Mengchen, do you remember me?" Su Mengchen shook her head, still disying a shy and timid look; she was very averse to contact with people. "Xiao Yan, let Auntie first take Mengchen inside. Her roommates were getting along well with her just now. I will have a chat with youter," Shen Rongfei hoped someone would look after her daughter at school, since she couldn''t always be there. The best candidate had been Yin Qiang ¨C tall, handsome, and charming. He also had an air of quality, and she had even entertained the idea of him as a son-inw. After all, he didn''t mind her daughter''s limp, but now it seemed there was no chance of that. This Li Zhiyan might be ordinary, but he also seemed like a decent alternative. Shen Rongfei had extensive life experience and could tell that Li Zhiyan truly cared about her daughter. "Alright, Auntie, go ahead and take Chenchen inside," Watching his future mother-inw take his future wife into the girls'' dormitory, he stood there quietly waiting. Ten minutester, Shen Rongfei came out in her high heels. "Aunt Shen." "Let''s take a walk," Shen Rongfei invited Li Zhiyan, who, upon seeing her stunning beauty, nodded gently. "Alright... Aunt Shen," He wanted to call her mom, but he couldn''t yet; he had to wait until his rtionship with Chenchen was confirmed. Shen Rongfei was the only woman in this world, apart from his own mother, whom he would call mom. Arriving at the pond beside the school, Shen Rongfei leaned gently on the railing. Her D+ bust, beautiful face, meticulously curled hair, and cheongsam paired with ck stockings entuated her womanliness to the utmost. Li Zhiyan held great respect for Shen Rongfei. "Xiao Yan, do you like Chenchen?" "How did you know?" This time, Li Zhiyan was the one caught off guard. "I can tell, you care about my girl." Chapter 119: 087 Saved Su Mengchen, the charming vixen Shen Rongfei_3 ``` "Otherwise, your reaction just now wouldn''t have been so intense; your gaze really frightened Aunt Shen." "It looked almost like you wanted to kill someone." "Just watching it made one feel a bit scared." "If it hadn''t been for what you didter, I really would have called the police." "Thinking about it now, you probably like my daughter." Li Zhiyan immediately admitted it. "Um..." "Aunt Shen, I want to be your son-inw." Such frank words slightly stunned Shen Rongfei, who then covered her mouth and chuckled. Shen Rongfei, with a smile on her pretty face, looked even more gorgeous. Li Zhiyan couldn''t understand why a mother-inw as beautiful as this would be cheated on by her husband. Was he out of his mind? "You''re quite straightforward, kid." "What do your parents do?" Shen Rongfei loved her daughter dearly, so she wouldn''t just casually hand her over to someone. For a son-inw, she had to vet him herself. "Aunt Shen, we are a normal family; my mother is a white-cor worker, and we rent a ce to live in Wancheng." Shen Rongfei furrowed her brows slightly, and Li Zhiyan swore he had never seen a woman who could be so beautiful even when frowning. "However, I''ve made some money through programming and opened an inte cafe." "I have 560,000 left in my bank ount." "Aunt Shen, please let me pursue Mengchen. I truly like her." Even if her family was very wealthy, she would still find it surprising and a little shocking. Seeing people with five hundred thousand wasmonce for her, but for Li Zhiyan, a poor second-generation from a single-parent family, to have this much money was incredibly unusual! Talent; this could only be described with the word talent. This kid was definitely worthy of pursuing her daughter, a genuinely self-made person ¨C far more precious than a rich second-generation. "You really opened an inte cafe?" "Absolutely true, Aunt Shen. My cafe is called Brotherhood Inte Cafe. You can investigate it. I bought it just a month ago, and it''s already turning a stable profit. I''m not lying to you. I sincerely want to be your son." Unable to help herself, Shen Rongfei chuckled, herughter highlighted by the moonlight. Under the moonlight, the sight of a gorgeous, silk-stockinged young woman covering her mouth and chuckling had a uniquely beautiful charm. "You do take this to heart." "Okay then, I''ll secretly help you with this matter." "But, Chenchen is somewhat introverted and unwilling tomunicate with others. Even if Aunt helps you, if you can''t befriend her, it will still be very difficult. This matter still relies on you alone." Shen Rongfei looked at Li Zhiyan before her, admiration in her fox-like eyes. Eighteen years old, with savings of over five hundred thousand and his own inte cafe. This kind of talent was the perfect temte for a self-made sess; she admired talented young people the most. Previously, Shen Rongfei wasn''t very impressed with Li Zhiyan; if she were younger, she definitely wouldn''t have given him the time of day. However, with the addition of his talent, she saw Li Zhiyan in a somewhat different light. "I understand, Aunt Shen." "Does your wrist hurt?" Li Zhiyan noticed Shen Rongfei gently rubbing her wrist; he knew this was a good opportunity to impress his potential mother-inw. Those busy with business often had minor ailments, and his skills in traditional Chinese massage were a great way to show respect and care for elders! "Yes, the doctors have seen it, but there''s no real solution." "Aunt Shen, I am skilled in traditional Chinese massage. Let me help you with it; I guarantee the pain will go away." The first thought Shen Rongfei had was disbelief; neither Chinese nor Western medicine had a good solution for the pain, and it couldn''t be cured. How could he possibly make the pain go away? But after feeling the sincerity and genuine affinity in Li Zhiyan''s eyes, Shen Rongfei gently nodded her head. "Then go ahead and massage Aunt''s wrist." No matter the oue, she would still have to support him so as not to disappoint the boy. In Shen Rongfei''s mind, Li Zhiyan must have picked up some folk remedies. After all, to reach any level of achievement in traditional Chinese medicine one would need to be at least in their thirties, and he was only eighteen. "Aunt Shen, let''s sit over there at the stone table." "Okay." The sound of high heels echoed, Shen Rongfei walking with a very graceful posture. Yet, the allure in her demeanor was anything but subdued, exuding captivating charm from within at all times. After sitting down at the stone bench, Li Zhiyan bowed slightly in a gesture of respect. He took a look at Aunt Shen''s silk-stockinged beautiful legs under her cheongsam and earnestly said, "Aunt Shen, please give me your hand." "Okay." Taking Shen Rongfei''s immacte, jade-like hand, Li Zhiyan started massaging her wrist with utmost seriousness. After his massage, Shen Rongfei involuntarily closed her eyes. At this moment, she looked even more captivating. "Xiao Yan, your massage technique is really impressive." "The painful sensation is gone. It seems Aunt really has toe to you for more massages in the future." "Of course, you cane to me anytime. I am thinking of asking you to be my mother eventually." "If I get the chance to show filial piety, I will certainly do my best." Shen Rongfei couldn''t help but feel a growing fondness for Li Zhiyan in her heart. After massaging for half an hour, Shen Rongfei''s wrist pain waspletely gone. In the moonlight, her arm seemed like a wless piece of art. "Xiao Yan, you''re really talented." "Let''s exchange mobile numbers." "And let''s add each other on QQ as well." After exchanging contact information, Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. His massage skills were truly practical. ``` Chapter 120: 087 Saved Su Mengchen, the charming vixen Shen Rongfei_4 Tonight''s performance in front of the beloved mother-inw wasn''t bad. At least the first hurdle has been cleared, and now there shouldn''t be any obstacles in my pursuit of Chenchen. After seeing Shen Rongfei to her Mercedes S-ss, Li Zhiyan noticed she changed into a pair of ts before driving off. When she left, she even waved goodbye to Li Zhiyan. "Indeed, the mother-inw is a refined woman, can''t be without ck silk and high heels." "Such a seductively charming woman," he thought. With countless thoughts swirling in his head, Li Zhiyan went back to the dorm and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. ... The next day, military training at the school began. After the students gathered and received their military training uniforms, they all went to the training ground. The counselor, Han Xueying, also followed. She always felt a little worried about the kids undergoing military training. Concerned that some might not be able to withstand the rigor or might faint. Li Zhiyan found his own instructor particrly disagreeable. Military training is an indispensable experience that everyone goes through. However, the quality of instructors varied, and Li Zhiyan held genuine respect for border soldiers and high-quality soldiers. Every time he passed a Home of the Meritorious, he felt moved. But there were also many who joined the army purely for the demobilization pay and job cement, and he knew quite a few such people around him. Like his uncle by marriage who, after serving in the army, was assigned to be a city management officer. After the first day of training, when they returned to the dorm. Ziang Zexi and the others were so tired they almost threw up. Only Li Zhiyan, who didn''t even seem to be out of breath after having acquiredbat skills. Now, his physical fitness was truly on apletely different level than before. "This son of a turtle, really doing it on purpose to torment us, I really want to strangle him!" "Bath, let''s go take a bath, it''s too hot!" After going to the shower room, Zhang Zhiyuanpletely stopped talking. Monster! Even Ziang Zexi fellpletely silent. So what if I''m handsome, it counts for nothing! The other students who came to shower also fell silent at the sight. Inferiority... ... On September 2nd, the second day of military training, just after being dismissed. Li Zhiyan took a shower and left school to get the cake he had prepared for Fang Zhiya. "Liu Yaolong, that beast, even harmed his own mother..." "Truly unforgivable..." Meanwhile, Liu Yaolong had already arrived at the noodle stall. "Mom, happy birthday!" Liu Yaolong''s birthday wishes almost brought Fang Zhiya to tears. She never expected her son to actually wish her a happy birthday today. This had never happened before. Today, as Fang Zhiya celebrated her birthday, she felt utterly dejected selling noodles alone, yet she had not expected her son to show up. Although he hadn''t prepared a gift, he remembered her birthday. In this world, finally, someone wished her a happy birthday. "Mom, I was wrong before, please forgive me. Let me take you home. I''ll go get you a cake in a bit," he said. Hearing about the birthday cake, Fang Zhiya''s tears could no longer be held back. Had her son really seen the error of his ways? As long as he was willing to turn over a new leaf and stop deceiving her, she could forgive him. After all, he was her only son in this world. "Ok, let''s pack up, mom will take you home." "But you have to promise, never to lie to mom again, understand?" Liu Yaolong feigned a repentant demeanor. "Okay." After pushing the cart to the small property rights house, disdain filled Liu Yaolong''s eyes. What a dump! Only the first and third floors had external air conditioning units; such a ce wasn''t fit for dogs. When he got to the narrow rented room, he couldn''t stand to stay for another second. Fang Zhiya turned on a fan, and with concern said, "Son, stand by the fan, it''s hot." Listening to the buzzing sound of the electric fan, Liu Yaolong felt an uncontroble disgust. Such an awful noise. He would never live in such a ce, in a broken house, with a broken fan! "Mom, I''m going to pour some water." He took two cups and filled them both with water, then surreptitiously added some medication to one of them. Concerning his own ten thousand yuan, he had to be careful. Feigning care, Liu Yaolong ced the cups on the table as if he were deeply concerned about his mother. "Mom, have some water. I''ll go get the cake, I''ve already bought it." ``` "Good." Fang Zhiya didn''t think much of it and took a couple of sips of water. After witnessing Fang Zhiya drinking the water, he felt extremely reassured and went downstairs, then he called Su Xiaolong. "Hello? Come over now, she just drank it." "Are you sure?" At this moment, Su Xiaolong felt his blood rushing through his veins. "Positive. The agreed hundred thousand yuan, not a penny less!" Su Xiaolong''s heart waspletely exhrated. Such a splendid mature woman, that graceful figure, fair skin, and beautiful face. Finally, she would bepletely his; tonight he was definitely going to indulge himself to the fullest! ... Upstairs, Fang Zhiya felt an inexplicable heat surge up. She felt somewhat ufortable inside, oddly wanting to wear the silk stockings that Li Zhiyan had given her. Her vision was starting to blur. Under the heat, she drank another half ss of water, trying to sober up, but the heat only intensified. "What''s happening to me..." ... At this moment, Li Zhiyan was standing in the corner downstairs, waiting for Liu Yaolong''s aplice to arrive. Of course, he would never give Su Xiaolong any chance. He hated cuckolds more than anything! He decided to ambush them downstairs and let them taste his fists! After this incident, Aunt Fang would surely be thoroughly disappointed; then he could take her away. Topletely sever ties with Liu Yaolong. So that Aunt Fang''s future life would belong only to him alone, so he could possess everything about her, and slowly turn her into a woman who would wear ck silk and high heels, apanying him in everything. It wasn''t long before Su Xiaolong arrived, his face flushed with excitement. "Did you get it done?" "Handled!" The sound of Li Zhiyan''s voice startled Su Xiaolong. The next second, Li Zhiyan''s fist smashed into his head, and Liu Yaolong''s head also took a solid punch. With that, he kicked both of them to the ground. Li Zhiyan kept kicking them; even a tooth was kicked out. "You''re a total beast. Aunt Fang has been so kind to you, borrowing money everywhere; you even drugged her, looking to sell her to someone else." "You''re really not human!" The continuous beating and the screams attracted the attention of many neighbors. Su Xiaolong and Liu Yaolong were already feeling guilty. Unable to fight back Li Zhiyan, they took a beating and fled in fear. After beating them up to his heart''s content, Li Zhiyan still felt unsatisfied and contemted chasing after them, but then he thought Aunt Fang was more important. So Li Zhiyan went upstairs. "Aunt Fang." He knocked, and Fang Zhiya, who had locked the door when she sensed something was wrong, opened it. If it hadn''t been for Li Zhiyan''s voice, she wouldn''t have opened the door at all. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie might be sick." Fang Zhiya spoke in broken sentences, her pretty face flushed with an alluring red. Li Zhiyan closed the door and said somberly, "You''re not sick." "It was the ss monitor who conspired with outsiders to drug you;ter, they nned to have that persone over here..." Fang Zhiya closed her eyes weakly, filled with despair. She had thought her son had turned over a new leaf, but now... At this moment, Liu Yaolong waspletely dead in Fang Zhiya''s heart; this son meant nothing to her anymore. Thereon, Fang Zhiya couldn''t bring herself to think about these things anymore. Her emotions were governed by her hormones. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie is feeling difort." Li Zhiyan fully understood that at this moment, nothing could stop him anymore. "Aunt Fang, let me help you." Saying this, Li Zhiyan gently embraced Fang Zhiya''s waist. Feeling Fang Zhiya''s limp body, he kissed her. And Fang Zhiya''s response was more passionate than ever before. "Aunt Fang, could you put on the high heels and stockings I gave you?" Li Zhiyan still very much enjoyed that visual sensation. "Alright... Auntie will change." "Auntie will change." "As long as my Xiao Yan is happy, Auntie will make you happy." Now, Fang Zhiya seemed to have shed all her usual traditional restraints, which showed Li Zhiyan the power of hormones. Hormones, indeed, could control a person''s actions. ``` Chapter 121: Aunt Fang gave everything to Li Zhiyan Fang Zhiya was feeling incredibly hot and bothered at this moment. All her actions were governed by hormones. She had changed into stockings and high heels in front of Li Zhiyan, the kind she wouldn''t normally dare to wear. After turning around, it was only then that a slightly more lucid Fang Zhiya saw Li Zhiyan had ced a cake on the table. Her own son lied to her about going out to buy her a cake, which was actually a ruse to deceive her and do her harm behind her back. But Li Zhiyan remembered her birthday so clearly. "Xiao Yan..." Li Zhiyan knew the time was right and stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Fang Zhiya, who was dressed in a miniskirt and stockings. "Aunt Fang, today I want to..." "Yes... yes..." Thest defense Fang Zhiya was holding onto vanished; she felt she had fallen in love with this young man, 23 years her junior. She had divorced her husband, so anything she did with him was permissible. Even getting pregnant and having his child was permissible. Li Zhiyan felt an exuberant joy in his heart; he had never imagined that the somewhat traditional and exaggerated Aunt Fang Would one day be willing to do such a thing with him, truly a surreal experience. "Xiao Yan..." "Could you go buy that, please?" Upon seeing Aunt Fang''s pleading look, Li Zhiyan instructed, "Lock the door from the inside and bear with it for a bit, I''ll be back soon." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan rushed out, sprinting towards a small supermarket. In less than five minutes, he was back at the rental, where the neighboring abusive couple spotted him holding a Durex package. Their expressions were all profoundly meaningful; the world is truly insane. After the abusive couple entered their home, Li Zhiyan whispered, "It''s me." The door cracked open, and Li Zhiyan could see the faint light spilling from inside. He thought he could make out the source of Liu Yaolong''s troubles. Once inside, he immediately locked the door. At this moment, Fang Zhiya proactively approached and wrapped her arms around Li Zhiyan''s neck. Such initiative was previously unthinkable for her. And now was the only time for it. "Xiao Yan, did you buy it...?" "I did, Aunt Fang..." Upon confirmation, thest bit of rationality in Fang Zhiyapletely dissipated. She took the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan and ced his hand on Aunt Fang''s stocking-covered beautiful legs, while he reciprocated her kiss. At that moment he felt a bit of regret, thinking he should have bought ck stockings for the asion today. But obviously, it was toote for that. "Aunt Fang... are you really willing...?" After Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya separated, he whispered in her ear. "I am willing, Xiao Yan..." "Auntie likes you the most, you are Auntie''s treasure..." "Okay." With that, he lifted Fang Zhiya up in his arms. Li Zhiyan walked inside. ... That night, the abusive couple fought. The woman across was cursing her man for being useless, aplete waste. And she did indeed suffer real domestic abuse. However, Fang Zhiya, her brain mired in turmoil, could no longer hear such sounds. The next afternoon, Fang Zhiya groggily woke up. Memories from the night before flooded her mind like a tide. The thought of her son selling her out for money brought a rush of sadness. But Fang Zhiya didn''t have time to feel upset, the rest of the events from the previous night began crowding her thoughts. At her lowest point, Li Zhiyan had appeared and saved her. She had done such things with Li Zhiyan, and not just once. At that moment, Li Zhiyanzily woke up. What a pleasant day it was; Fang Zhiya blushed and covered her face, but Li Zhiyan took her hands away. The two of them looked at each other with new identities, leaving Fang Zhiya feeling lost. "Xiao... Xiao Yan, we..." Fang Zhiya struggled to ept this shift in their rtionship. "Aunt Fang,e into my arms." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan pulled Fang Zhiya insistently into his embrace. It was necessary to firmly establish things with Aunt Fang today. Otherwise, there would be considerable trouble. "No... Xiao Yan..." Fang Zhiya attempted to resist and return to their previous rtionship, but Li Zhiyan pulled her into his arms. Feeling the warmth of Li Zhiyan''s embrace, Fang Zhiya''s reason was swallowed up once again. Having given everything to him, she figured that going back to how things were before was impossible now. "Xiao Yan... my love..." Fang Zhiya gently patted Li Zhiyan''s back, her face growing hotter. But she also felt very happy, thinking that in her despair, hadn''t she also encountered a different kind of hope? "Aunt Fang, oh right!" Li Zhiyan stood up, remembering the birthday cake. Yesterday night things happened so suddenly that he hadn''t been able to celebrate her birthday; now Aunt Fang had officially turned 42 years old. "Aunt Fang, I''m sorry, I didn''t celebrate your birthday yesterday." "This is the birthday cake I bought for you." "Happy Birthday." "It was a bit rushed, I didn''t prepare a birthday gift." While speaking, Li Zhiyan began inserting candles into the cake, stopping only after he reached 42, then he began lighting them one by one. Watching Li Zhiyan''s meticulous care, Fang Zhiya was deeply moved. Originally she had wondered if Li Zhiyan was merely ruled by youthful hormones, only wanting to be with her for... Chapter 122: Aunt Fang gave everything to Li Zhiyan_2 But now it was obvious that he held a fondness for her in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have made a special trip to celebrate her birthday. In contrast, her own biological son had betrayed her on her birthday. The difference between the two men was like night and day. "Aunt Fang,e and make a wish before blowing out the candles." Fang Zhiya sat down at the table, closed her eyes, and, facing her life''s first birthday cake, she sincerely closed her eyes to make a wish... After a while, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles. For the very first time, she truly felt that there were people in this world who loved her. After cutting a slice of cake for Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan also felt hungry. He simply treated the cake as "breakfast." Before eating the cake, both Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya brushed their teeth, as there were no spare toothbrushes. So, he used Fang Zhiya''s toothbrush. While eating cake, Li Zhiyan remembered the matter of asking Fang Zhiya to move out. "Aunt Fang." "Let''s move out of here and stop selling noodles." "You should find a new job." "The past life has nothing to do with you anymore." Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but recall her son''s schemes against her, feeling extremely sad inside; it was an awful feeling. "If we stay here, Liu Yaolong might endlessly plot against you. You need to understand." "He''s no longer a person, but a beast." Fang Zhiya nodded slightly, as she very much agreed with this. Seeing that Aunt Fang didn''t refute him, Li Zhiyan continued, "There''s one more thing." "I actually saw Uncle Liu with another woman in the car, doing that kind of thing." "Over by Sanxiao." Li Zhiyan nned to add fuel to the fire, knowing that Fang Zhiya would definitely believe his words unconditionally. And Liu Jiannan was clearly not a very honest person; Li Zhiyan was sure he wouldn''t be wronging him. "What..." Thest glimmer of hope in Fang Zhiya''s heart was extinguished. With all her attachments gone, there was no longer anyone in this world worth caring for. Except for Li Zhiyan before her. "Aunt Fang, don''t be sad, even if you lose everything, you still have me in your life." "I will definitely take good care of you." Liu Jiannan had previously entrusted him to take good care of Fang Zhiya, and now he had fulfilled that promise. Uncle Liu, rest easy serving your time in prison. The divorce papers are processed. I will definitely ensure Aunt Fang is well taken care of. "Alright, my dear..." "From now on, you are all I have in my life." Fang Zhiya couldn''t help but hug Li Zhiyan, her tears streaming down. After a while, Li Zhiyan, looking at the cream on Fang Zhiya''s red lips, couldn''t resist and gently kissed them. "Aunt Fang, I want to eat the cake here..." "Xiao Yan..." Fang Zhiya''s heart was deeply traditional. She pushed Li Zhiyan away, then said very seriously, "Xiao Yan." "I need to tell you something, about yesterday..." "What happened yesterday, we mustn''t tell anyone." "I am so much older than you, if people found out that you and I slept together, they wouldugh at you." Li Zhiyan took Fang Zhiya''s hand in his. "Aunt Fang, can we still..." Li Zhiyan looked into Fang Zhiya''s beautiful eyes and inquired. Aunt Fang truly was irresistible, her beauty haunting. "We can... but I still have to make things clear to you." "From now on, only you are allowed to touch my body." "However, we must be safe." "I cannot get pregnant." "Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to face anyone." "Our affair, we must never tell anyone." Li Zhiyan knew that this was one of the advantages of mature women, they prefer to keep things secret, not making any disputes or demands. He then embraced Fang Zhiya''s waist. With another kiss, this time Fang Zhiya didn''t resist Li Zhiyan; she knew he was to be the one man in her life from now on. But when Li Zhiyan wanted to continue, Fang Zhiya stopped him. "Xiao Yan... stop it, Auntie is already 42, I can''t keep up with you, let''s do it another day, besides, we''ve run out of stuff." Looking at the empty box that once contained the items, Li Zhiyan felt a bit sorry for Aunt Fang. His title wasn''t just for show after all. "Alright... Aunt Fang, then let''s get ready to move." "Okay... I''ll pack up some personal clothing." To prevent Li Zhiyan from feeling down, Fang Zhiya took the initiative to kiss him for five minutes. "Darling, I''m going to pack the clothes." She nted a kiss on Li Zhiyan''s face... Fang Zhiya went to pack her clothes. Li Zhiyan watched Aunt Fang''s snow-white legs and the two silk stockings lying aside. His heart stirred; he truly wished for Fang Zhiya to bear his child. "Aunt Fang, could you wear ck stockings?" "I''d like to see you in ck stockings..." Hearing about wearing ck stockings, Fang Zhiya''s pretty face flushedpletely red. "Darling, give me some time to think about it, okay?..." "That kind of thing is hard for me to ept." "But I will try my best to ovee it." Li Zhiyan felt the weight he had in Fang Zhiya''s heart, and how much Aunt Fang had given of herself to him. He also began to tidy up the trash. After clearing the tools and trash, Li Zhiyan thought about how to bring up not using tools anymore with Aunt Fang. That would require some careful nning. Chapter 123: Aunt Fang gave everything to Li Zhiyan_3 ... After tidying up, Li Zhiyan found thendlord and indicated that the bed was broken and he wanted to terminate the lease. Thendlord couple came up to take a look and only refunded the deposit. Li Zhiyan didn''t mind, after all, ording to the contract, the rent couldn''t be refunded whether he lived there or not, and the loss of the bed was definitely going to be deducted from the deposit. They were already being quite generous. Yet again, the sound of an argument was heard from next door. All of it was about being useless, a waste, and today they hadn''t even gone to work. The ones who had constantly subjected Fang Zhiya to magic attacks had now truly experienced what a magic attack was, and it was a super critical hit. In the following time, after Li Zhiyan took care of Aunt Fang''s stall, he took a taxi to send Fang Zhiya to a hotel near the school, settling her infortably. Once they were in the hotel room, Fang Zhiya picked up a disposable towel, wet it at the tap, then gently wiped the sweat from Li Zhiyan''s face and body. "Baby, you must be so hot..." As a traditional woman, she knew how to take care of her man, and now in her heart, Li Zhiyan was her man. Her ex-husband and son hadpletely disappointed her, and now the only pir of her life was Li Zhiyan, who had suddenly appeared in her life when she was trying to im her wages. That was all. "Aunt Fang..." "You''re really kind." Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s slender waist, holding back his desires to continue. If he had asked, Aunt Fang would certainly have agreed. But after using so many tools yesterday, Aunt Fang couldn''t take any more. She was just a petite woman, barely five foot three. He couldn''t keep putting her through that. "Aunt Fang, I''m going back to the dorm tonight." "You rest well here." "I''ve booked the room for several days. Tomorrow evening, when it''s not so hot, I''ll take you to look for a house." Fang Zhiya said ashamedly, "Xiao Yan, your Aunt will work to pay back the money I owe you." She always remembered clearly the 40,000 yuan she owed Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang..." "You don''t need to talk to me about owing money anymore." "We''re both..." "If I were still concerned about that money, it would be too much. If you really treasure me, just keep it in your heart; there''s no need to talk about paying it back." A few tens of thousands of yuan was nothing, Fang Zhiya would be his partner. Li Zhiyan was not one to worry over such a small sum of money. "Alright... baby..." Touching Li Zhiyan''s face, Fang Zhiya felt tearsing on again. Seeing Fang Zhiya about to cry again, Li Zhiyan gently kissed her red lips. The two were entangled with each other for a long time, before Li Zhiyan finally left the hotel. Lying in bed, Fang Zhiya''s exhaustion took overpletely; she was truly tired. Although an older woman''s endurance was much stronger than a young girl''s, it couldn''t withstand Li Zhiyan''s intensity. Complex emotions apanied by fatigue surged in her heart, and Fang Zhiya slowly fell asleep. ... After arriving at the dormitory, Ziang Zexi said with a sly smile, "Li Zhiyan, you must have gone on a date!" "The counselor has been looking everywhere for you, you didn''t answer calls, either." "Your QQ messages have exploded!" Li Zhiyan checked and indeed, the counselor had sent him a lot of messages. Clearly very worried about him, thinking of Teacher Han always wearing that gentle smile, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat guilty. He then chatted with Han Xueying. "Teacher Han, something came up at home yesterday, and I forgot to notify you, I''m sorry." Han Xueying: "As long as you''re fine. Li Zhiyan, make sure to train well tomorrow." On the other side, Zhang Zhiyuan, ying CF on hisptop and enviously said, "I agree, Brother Yan must''ve been out on dates. He''s the undisputed married woman''s killer for sure." If they had called Li Zhiyan a married woman''s killer before, the guys in the dorm wouldn''t have believed it. But after seeing what a real man is! They were nowpletely convinced that, if Brother Yan was willing, there would be plenty of women lining up; being handsome is nothingpared to Brother Yan''s assets, which can be described with just four words: utterly insignificant. "Let''s sleep, let''s sleep." After chatting with the counselor, Li Zhiyan went straight to sleep. ... The next morning during military training, Li Zhiyan saw Han Xueying on the field. "Li Zhiyan, you really scared the teacher yesterday." Han Xueying''s pretty face still had a full, gentle smile, that kind of smile that made Li Zhiyan feel intoxicated. Her image was of an obviously caring big sister, her smile conveying a feeling that one could confide in her with any trouble, and she would keep it absolutely confidential. During the three years of university, Aunt Han really was like a close big sister to him. Especially during the time when his mother passed away, if hadn''t been for her constant constion, even telling him to think of her as a mother, he probably would have found it very difficult to get through that period. For Han Xueying, Li Zhiyan felt extremely grateful. "Aunt Han, I''m sorry, I forgot to tell you, I''ll let you know in advance next time I need to take leave." Li Zhiyan''s voice was very earnest; he knew he needed to develop a good and deep rtionship with Han Xueying. That way, it would be easier to ask for leave in the future, as he definitely wouldn''t be able to attend sses every day. Han Xueying was surprised by the title "Aunt Han." "You should call me ''Teacher'' at school, understand?" Chapter 124: Aunt Fang gave everything to Li Zhiyan_4 Trantion: "I understand, Teacher Han..." Han Xueying was just a counselor, not really his teacher, but out of respect, he indeed had to address her that way. Of course, Li Zhiyan''s heart still favored the name Aunt Han the most. "Alright, off you go to military training." After patting Li Zhiyan''s head, Han Xueying felt an inexplicable fondness for the boy. Once military training started, it began with the usual standing at attention. "Instructor, I''m feeling really dizzy, can I rest for a bit?" A tall, burly student wanted to rest. The instructor was used to this kind of thing. "You can rest if you want,e up here and let''s wrestle. If you win, you don''t have to be here for the next ten days of military training!" The boy immediately chickened out; how could he possibly defeat the instructor? Li Zhiyan''s eyes lit up... He walked out from the ranks, standing at 1.7 meters and appearing somewhat slender in front of the instructor. "Instructor, I want to try!" Li Zhiyan didn''t want to miss the chance to avoid military training. The instructor was surprised. Someone really dared to wrestle with him? Haha, how interesting. "Brother Yan, don''t be impulsive!" Su Quanyou felt like kneeling! The instructor was just joking, but you actually want to get beaten up. The instructor had professional training, how could you at 1.7 meters tall beat an instructor who''s 1.8 meters plus! "Do you really want to try?" "Yes, Instructor, just don''t beat me up too badly." "Okay! You''ve got guts!" The instructor went to face Li Zhiyan, nning to y a little wrestling game with the kid who had quite some courage. Surprise filled Su Mengyue''s beautiful eyes; she had been impressed by Li Zhiyan''s demeanor before. She had not expected him to wrestle with the instructor today. In the corner of the yground fence, wearing sunsses and covered in thick sunscreen, Su Mengchen also saw this scene and couldn''t help worrying about her childhood friend. As the protective big sister with a sweet and lovely face, Han Xueying stepped in front of Li Zhiyan. "Instructor Zhang, the kid was just joking; you can''t hurt the child." She wanted to stop the wrestling game. "Rest assured, Teacher Han, I''ll stop at the slightest touch." Though the instructor had thought of enjoying the match, with continuous blocking, he had no opportunity to start. "Teacher Han, I really don''t want to do military training. Please let me wrestle with the instructor, it''s just a game, he definitely won''t bully a kid, will he?" "Exactly, it''s just stopping at the slightest touch, an educational game." Seeing Li Zhiyan keen to fight, Han Xueying reluctantly ended her protective behavior. "Alright! But Instructor Zhang, you must not hurt the child." After Han Xueying stepped aside, the instructor advanced to wrestle with Li Zhiyan. With a fierce charge, he frightened the students at the front to step back a few paces. Li Zhiyan, with fast reflexes, casually reached out to grab the instructor''s neck and then pinned him to the ground. The event happened so quickly, even the instructor was shocked. He had been beaten in wrestling by an 18-year-old kid? That was too ridiculous! "I... I give up." The instructor stood up, realizing this kid was clearly a skilled fighter, not just showy moves; his strength and speed were on a whole different level. Three of himself might not be a match for him; how could there be such a skilled fighter in college! There was a moment of silence at the scene, followed by a tsunami of cheering. Han Xueying covered her mouth, her gentle eyes filled with astonishment; this kid was impressive. Su Mengyue felt a tingling sensation, as if she was being charmed, and her pretty face grew somewhat hot. Outside the yground, Su Mengchen remembered the time Li Zhiyan had stood in front of her to drive away Yin Qiang, and how her dormitory mates had told her about Yin Qiang''s terrible reputation. In her chat with her mom, Su Mengchen also learned that Li Zhiyan wanted to pursue her. Looking at Li Zhiyan''s figure, she felt an unexined sense of belonging, thinking that Li Zhiyan would protect her well. Under the envious eyes of his ssmates, Li Zhiyan legitimately escaped military training and could just wait for ss. However, after Li Zhiyan left, Instructor Zhang''s announcement of extra training made the students groan inint. ... "Mengchen." After Li Zhiyan came over to Su Mengchen''s side, seeing her arms and legs covered in thick sunscreen, he felt extremely relieved. Nothing was more important than the well-being of a person he cared about. "Let''s add each other on QQ. I know you have some difficulty speaking, but we''ll be able tomunicate a lot better on QQ," he said. Su Mengchen kept her head low and did not speak, her face growing redder and redder. After quite a while, she reported her QQ number in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible. Ordinary people could never have heard her, but Li Zhiyan was all too familiar with this QQ ount. Indeed, it had been transferred from Shen Rongfei''s hands to Chenchen''s. "I''ve sent the request. I''ve got to go, just ept itter." One couldn''t rush things with a girl inclined towards being introverted like Su Mengchen. One had to take it slow... Watching Li Zhiyan''s departing figure, until he got far away, Su Mengchen slowly took out her smartphone. She then logged into QQ and epted Li Zhiyan''s friend request. Back in the dormitory, cooling off under a fan, Li Zhiyan saw that Su Mengchen had epted his friend request so quickly, and he too was surprised. Chapter 125: Aunt Fang gave everything to Li Zhiyan_5 He really hadn''t expected Su Mengchen toply so quickly. It seemed Shen Rongfei had truly made a strong effort in front of Su Mengchen. No wonder everyone said that if you want to pursue a girl, you first have to win over her mother. With the mother''s whispering, the daughter would certainly agree. Afterward, he began chatting with Su Mengchen online. Although Su Mengchen was somewhat speechless in person, she was clearly much better on QQ, but still not very talkative. It felt as though she did not want to chat with him at all, but Li Zhiyan, who understood Su Mengchen very well, didn''t mind. If he wanted to truly lower Su Mengchen''s guard, he would have to persevere and work hard. Only by doing so could he slowly gain eptance in her heart. And the moment she epted him, her heart would belong only to him forever. In this life, he would not let Chenchen down, no matter what. He kept sending Su Mengchen lots and lots of messages about topics she liked. To melt the ice, a continuous effort was necessary. In the evening, Li Zhiyan ended the chat and headed to the hotel, nning to help Aunt Fang find a house. On the way, his mother called. "Mom." "Son, how is the military training at school going? Is it very tough? Do you want Mom to visit you at school?" "No need, Mom, I''m doing very well at school. You don''t need to travel back and forth. " "I''lle home." Li Zhiyan very much understood his mother''s worries. His mother feared most that he wasn''t doing well. "Okay, then Mom feels relieved." "By the way, Wu Auntie seems to have gone to work near your school. When you''re free, you can call her and let her cook for you." Zhou Rongrong felt veryforted, her son''s well-being was her greatest wish in this life. Li Zhiyan was surprised, why would Wu Auntiee to work over here? It seemed like she had switchedpanies, after all, she had always wanted to earn more money to buy her son a house. This friend of his mom was really hardworking. However, Wu Auntie''s bust size was really well hidden. A solid D+, on par with Auntie Rao, but her figure was not the plump type. Still, it all seemed a bit crazy. Right after hanging up the phone, the system released a new mission. "Tomorrow night, Gu Wanzhou will be drunk from socializing and will be harassed when she goes out. Please go and support her." "And make her agree to your previous arrangement, bing your girlfriend." "Mission reward, a cash prize of one hundred thousand yuan." Li Zhiyan felt the current situation was indeed a bit chaotic, but he hadn''t expected Aunt Gu to get drunk. This was a really good opportunity. His rtionship with Aunt Gu had not progressed at all. This time, it seemed to be a great chance. "This era is a bit wild..." "Looks like I have to do the mission tomorrow, with a prize of one hundred thousand yuan." "For the millionaire goal," "I have no choice but to carry out the mission." "Today, I''ll focus on settling Aunt Fang." With that thought, Li Zhiyan had already arrived at Fang Zhiya''s hotel room. "Aunt Fang." Upon hearing that Li Zhiyan had arrived, Fang Zhiya bent down to help Li Zhiyan take off his shoes and socks, and helped him put on slippers. "It''s really hot outside, isn''t it?" "I was dying of heat when I went out to eat today; I had to take a shower when I got back." "Baby,e sit under the air conditioner." Fang Zhiya picked up a clean towel to wipe the sweat from Li Zhiyan''s face after he sat down, then opened a bottle of mineral water for him. She was afraid of even a tiny possibility of not taking good care of Li Zhiyan. Now, to Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan was the only person she relied on in this world and the only person she cared about. From now on, she just wanted to live a peaceful life with Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang..." "Sit on myp." Sitting under the air conditioner in the chair, Li Zhiyan pulled Fang Zhiya over to him. And Fang Zhiya was very obedient now. Wearing a short skirt and stockings, she sat demurely on Li Zhiyan''sp. "Aunt Fang, we''re going to look at housester." "And buy you a couple of low-cut tops." "You don''t have to dress so conservatively at home." "I just love to see your fair, white skin." "Aunt Fang..." Saying so, Li Zhiyan kissed Fang Zhiya''s red lips. "Baby..." Fang Zhiya closed her eyes, allowing Li Zhiyan to take what he wanted. After a long time, Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya parted, and he gently caressed her lovely face. "Aunt Fang, I want to get you pregnant." "Is that okay..." Chapter 126: 089 New Home! 18 and 42 years old, the madness in the rental house Li Zhiyan''s words made Fang Zhiya, who was already feeling weak, blush with shame. Before, she and Li Zhiyan had taken precautions. But now, if Li Zhiyan wanted her to get pregnant, that would mean... Fang Zhiya, with her extremely traditional heart, didn''t dare to continue thinking about what that felt like. "Don''t..." "Baby." Fang Zhiya leaned on Li Zhiyan''s shoulder, speaking with him with some difficulty. "Auntie is getting on in years, if she gets pregnant, people will gossip and point fingers." Li Zhiyan gently kissed Fang Zhiya''s pretty face. "Aunt Fang, you don''t want to get pregnant for me?" "I want you to get pregnant." Li Zhiyan''s words were very direct, and for Fang Zhiya, they were somewhat difficult to ept. "Baby... it''s not that Auntie is unwilling to get pregnant for you." Now, for Fang Zhiya, there was no one else in the world worth her efforts, only Li Zhiyan. That was it. What else could she not do for him? "It''s just that too many things have happened to Auntie recently, and they have hit me very hard." "Like the things you mentioned about wearing ck stockings, give Auntie some time to digest and ept them, okay? "Right now, Auntie still feels the pain." Li Zhiyan could also understand Fang Zhiya, indeed, he shouldn''t rush things. Her husband going to jail, divorce, her son''s traps; these were rtionships she had nourished for so many years, and to lose everything in such a short time was an unimaginable blow for her. "Okay, Aunt Fang, I understand." "Let''s go look for a house first. It''s not that hot anymore." "If we find the right ce, I cane often to eat your noodles, Auntie. The noodles and hot sauce you make are truly exceptional." Fang Zhiya remembered the days when she sold mixed noodles, how hard it was, but thankfully she had Li Zhiyan. "Okay, baby, let''s go." "By the way, Auntie, change your clothes first. These are really not suitable for going out." Fang Zhiya''s short skirt and stockings were only worn at home, for Li Zhiyan''s sake - so she could show them to him and let him touch her legs. If she went out dressed like that, Fang Zhiya genuinely struggled to ept it. "Alright." "I understand, Aunt Fang." "You go change clothes." ... After leaving the hotel, the two had a simple dinner, and Li Zhiyan got Fang Zhiya a new mobile phone number. After destroying the SIM card and throwing it into the sewer, Li Zhiyan knew. Aunt Fang hadpletely separated from her past life. After that, the two of them started looking for houses in the nearby neighborhoods. During their search, he was also continuously making calls for rental information. After viewing a few ces, Fang Zhiya said somewhat heartachingly, "Xiao Yan, we keep looking at three-bedroom apartments; they''re just too expensive." "How about we try a shared apartment instead? It''s cheaper, and we can find some women to share with." Li Zhiyan resolutely rejected the idea of a shared apartment. With shared living, too many things would be inconvenient. "Aunt Fang, if we share, it means little privacy, and besides, if we were to get intimate, everyone would know all the details." "Have you forgotten the incident with the abusive couple next door who were always fighting?" Li Zhiyan felt a certain poignancy, thinking that he had no conflicts on his end, but it could cause problems for others. "Hmm..." With that exnation, Fang Zhiya also understood that some money really couldn''t be saved. Then, they arrived at an old-fashioned two-bedroom apartmentplex. Though it had no elevator, the apartment was on the second floor, so the environment was actually quite nice. "Young man." Thendlord was an olddy with a face full of wrinkles. Although she looked old, Li Zhiyan always felt she had a certain energy about her. "Young man, this apartment has particrly good feng shui, if you rent it, you''re sure to get into a good university." Since Li Zhiyan was only 18, wherever he went, people assumed he was preparing for university entrance exams, with Fang Zhiya obviously apanying him as a guardian. This apartment, inparison to the ones they had seen before, was smaller, but it was clean and tidy. Moreover, both the master bedroom and living room had air conditioning, and even the bathroom had a small fan. The washing machine and all essentials were there, unlike when they lived in that tiny rented room. Aunt Fang always used to wash clothes by hand, which was fine for the short term, but over time, Aunt Fang''s delicate hands would really start to age. Li Zhiyan couldn''t bear that thought, especially since Aunt Fang was over 40, he felt he had to take even better care of her. At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s mind was wandering, thinking about when the system might offer a reward to keep a woman eternally youthful. If he could have all those miraculous skills, surely maintaining the status quo for Aunt Fang, whom he cared about, shouldn''t be a problem. Then, Li Zhiyan noticed that the master bedroom''s ceiling was made of reflective material. It was like the ceiling was covered with a huge mirror, clearly showing everything on the floor when one looked up. Li Zhiyan suddenly understood why he felt that olddy had a fiery air about her ¨C it seemed there was indeed a bit of heat there. "Granny, this ce is nice, with good natural light. I''ll rent it." Li Zhiyan made up his mind. The two of them signed the contract and paid the money,pleting the process in less than twenty minutes. In this era, before greedy agents had monopolized all housing stock for robbery, renting an apartment was still a fairly easy task. After all was done, only Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya were left in the apartment. Chapter 127: 089 New Home! 18 and 42 years old, the madness in the rental house_2 "Aunt Fang, from now on this will be our home." Li Zhiyan sat on the sofa, and upon hearing the word "home," Fang Zhiya''s expression became somewhat distant. Home, for some time now, had seemed like a far-off word to her, her family shattered, rtives betrayed; that was the true depiction of her current situation. Now, she had a home again, with Li Zhiyan? "Our home." "Yeah." After Fang Zhiya came over and sat down next to Li Zhiyan, she began to actively massage his shoulders. "Aunt Fang, stop massaging, let''s go buy some daily necessities first, we need to get some air-conditioning nkets and bed sheets." "It won''t be as noisy as thest rental ce with the air conditioning on here at night." "Okay." At that moment, Fang Zhiya''s heart was brimming with sweetness. They arrived at a bedding store outside themunity, where Fang Zhiya picked out two sets of cups and a pink three-piece bedding set. It cost a total of 181 yuan. After going back home once, they went to the supermarket and bought a lot of daily necessities, things likeundry detergent and hand wash. Of course, they didn''t forget the contraceptives; Li Zhiyan bought more than a dozen boxes in one go. That took Fang Zhiya by surprise, yet deep down, she was also filled with much anticipation. Later on, Li Zhiyan also bought Fang Zhiya a few low-cut T-shirts and miniskirts to wear around the house. At home, Aunt Fang should show off her beautiful legs. That would be more aesthetically pleasing. After all this was done, it was already past eight in the evening. "Aunt Fang." "This time it''s truly all set." "Now we can rest properly, it''s so hot." Fang Zhiya picked up a fan and gently fanned Li Zhiyan in the master bedroom. "Baby, go take a shower, you''re all sweaty. Put on the duvet coverter." "I need to go out and look for a job in the next few days." "Yes, Aunt Fang." After kissing Fang Zhiya gently on the lips, Li Zhiyan went to take a shower. Fang Zhiya also took a shower, then changed into the low-cut T-shirt and miniskirt that Li Zhiyan had bought for her. At a nce, one could see arge expanse of snow-white skin and those fair and proportionate beautiful legs. "Does it look good, baby...?" Wearing such clothes, Fang Zhiya felt ufortable, but luckily, it was at home where no one else would notice her. For Li Zhiyan''s eyes only, Fang Zhiya couldpletely ept that. After all, they had seen everything. "You look good, Aunt Fang, just wear this at home from now on." Saying that, Li Zhiyan touched Fang Zhiya''s beautiful legs, reluctantly letting go; in this hot summer season, to touch Aunt Fang''s beautiful legs in the evening was truly a pleasure of life¡­ "Okay, let''s hurry up and put on the duvet cover, make the bed." "Are you staying over tonight?" "Okay." Since he didn''t need to attend military training, Li Zhiyan was toozy to go to school, might as well spend a good eveningforting Aunt Fang. After some effort, the bed was made; looking at their small but cozy home, Fang Zhiyay on the bed, feeling very fulfilled. At that moment, however, she noticed something amiss. Her movements and posture could be seen very clearly as if she were lying here. Why was this house''s decoration like this? Then, Li Zhiyan approached her, gently kissing Fang Zhiya. "Baby..." Fang Zhiya''s cheeks flushed with shyness as she began to respond to Li Zhiyan''s kiss, while his hands caressed her beautiful legs. "Aunt Fang... we." Li Zhiyan did not continue, but how could Fang Zhiya not understand what he meant. "Let''s not do it here please..." Fang Zhiya reached for the box by the bed and gently took out one. "Can we do it on the sofa instead, Aunt Fang is begging you." Li Zhiyan knew that it would indeed be difficult for Aunt Fang to ept certain things all at once; he needed to guide her slowly. "Okay, then I''ll carry you, Aunt Fang¡­" Li Zhiyan picked up Fang Zhiya, kissed her, and went to the sofa in the living room. ... Long after their baths, the twoy in the bedroom, Fang Zhiya and Li Zhiyan under the same nket, snuggled up against his chest. Listening to Li Zhiyan''s heartbeat, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. "Aunt Fang, let''s create enduring memories in every corner of this house." "When we earn moneyter on," "We''ll buy a house outside." For a mature woman like Aunt Fang, the concept of pie-in-the-sky promises didn''t exist. In her heart, she felt that the future was very promising. "Hmm..." "By the way, Aunt Fang, when is your period due?" Fang Zhiya, holding Li Zhiyan''s hand under the quilt, felt incredulous that she was discussing such a topic with him. But now, she should tell him everything. "Soon..." "Probably in these next few days." "Aunt Fang, that means during the safe period, we could temporarily not take precautions." "Although you haven''t quite wrapped your head around the idea of pregnancy, I still would like..." After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhiya said, "The risk is still too great,ter on, you have to use it." The two chatted into the night, and as they talked, they drifted to sleep; Fang Zhiyay in Li Zhiyan''s arms, sleeping very, very peacefully. ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he smelled the fragrance of food, and in his groggy state, he almost felt like he was at home. Chapter 128: 089 New Home! 18 and 42 years old, the madness in the rental house_3 But then he remembered that he was with Aunt Fang. "Aunt Fang." "Up already, my treasure." Fang Zhiya came in with a wet towel and helped Li Zhiyan wash his face and hands. It felt as though she was taking care of a child. "The toothbrush is in the bathroom, and the water temperature is already adjusted." "Treasure, go brush your teeth first." Li Zhiyan had never experienced such meticulous care before. It gave him a unique feeling; Aunt Fang''s traditionalism truly manifested in every aspect. After freshening up, sitting at the dining table, Fang Zhiya passed Li Zhiyan the chopsticks and spoon, and throughout the meal, she kept serving him food, giving him the best parts of the dishes. "Aunt Fang, you should eat too, don''t just look after me." "You''re my treasure, it''s most important for you to eat well first." Li Zhiyan didn''t bother with formalities and wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s slender waist, then pulled her onto hisp. Feeling Li Zhiyan''s intensity, Fang Zhiya''s eyes also shed with an indescribable something. "Eat up, Aunt Fang, be good." "There''s still stuff to doter." Eighteen is indeed an age of boundless energy, and at the age of 42 for a woman, it''s also when hormones are at their peak. Li Zhiyan''s prime time and Fang Zhiya''s prime time could be said to have perfectly collided. After breakfast, Fang Zhiya was scared that Li Zhiyan would ask her to go back to her room, as then she would see the mirror on the ceiling. "Aunt Fang, your legs are so beautiful..." After Fang Zhiya came out of the master bedroom, Li Zhiyan held her and his hand roamed over her legs. "Treasure..." Standing on tiptoe, Fang Zhiya actively sought Li Zhiyan. Now, she was bing more and more ustomed to doing such things with Li Zhiyan. ... In the afternoon, Fang Zhiya went out job hunting. It was unbearable for her to idle away her time; now she just wanted to find an ordinary job and lead a normal life with Li Zhiyan. Then to work out properly in preparation to get pregnant for Li Zhiyan; in fact, when Li Zhiyan said he wanted her to get pregnant, Fang Zhiya had already entertained the thought. She could give Xiao Yan anything; what''s pregnancy inparison? She could consider it, but definitely not for too long. After all, she was already of advanced maternal age and needed to quickly ovee her reluctance, to ept everything about Xiao Yan, to get pregnant and have a visibly round belly. Li Zhiyan didn''t object to this, knowing that Aunt Fang, a lively person, definitely couldn''t stay cooped up in the rental house all day, and he spent his afternoon chatting with Su Mengchen. At the same time, he learned that Jiang Xian had sessfully divorced. Now maybe he shouldn''t call her teacher''s wife but rather Auntie Jiang would be more appropriate. Regardless of their reasons for divorce, the fact of their separation was now set in stone. Jiang Xian would henceforth be his Auntie Jiang. In the evening, the first thing Fang Zhiya did when she got home was to wash her hands, then cook for Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang, did the job hunt go well?" "It went well, a clerical job at a smallpany, the boss is a big sister, very nice, a sry of four thousand a month, and a quiet working environment." Fang Zhiya sounded happy as she felt that she had walked out of despair. All because of Li Zhiyan. "Baby... I''ve given it some thought," "I can wear the ck stockings, but give me some time." "Once I make up my mind, I''ll wear them for you to see, okay?" Li Zhiyan was somewhat excited; he had never expected Aunt Fang to say such a thing. It seemed that Aunt Fang was changing little by little. So, the time to admire Aunt Fang''s ck stocking-d legs in the bedroom was not far off. "Aunt Fang, you''re so kind." "Treasure, don''te to the kitchen, go enjoy the air conditioning, and dinner will be ready soon." ... Living with Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan always felt like he didn''t need to do anything. Even eating could be fully facilitated by Aunt Fang. Probably no other woman in the world could take care of him so thoroughly. At night, looking at the timing for the system''s events, Li Zhiyan took a taxi and left. He headed straight for the Phoenix Hotel where Gu Wanzhou had her engagement. ording to the system''s prompt, Aunt Gu had just sessfully negotiated several projects, and because the two elder sisters she was cooperating with were her fellow vigers, she had a lot of drinks that night. After sending off her business partners, she would be harassed, with attempts to hit on her. Li Zhiyan arrived at the Phoenix Hotel half an hour early to avoid any dys due to traffic. Ensuring Aunt Gu''s safety was the top priority. Half an hourter, Gu Wanzhou, dressed in a white shirt, a hip-hugging skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of ck high heels, walked out of the hotel. Li Zhiyan found it hard to take his eyes off her, Aunt Gu really loved wearing professional hip-hugging skirts. At that moment, she was chatting with two business partners, while Li Zhiyan quietly watched as she saw the two big sisters off in a Mercedes S-ss, then started making phone calls, clearly contacting a designated driving service. After making the call and finding out there was no designated driver avable at the moment, Gu Wanzhou frowned. The beginning of the school year meant a significant increase in the number of social drinkers. Feeling somewhat dizzy, Gu Wanzhou headed towards a supermarket next to the hotel to buy some water. Chapter 129: 089 New Home! 18 and 42 years old, the madness in the rental house_4 Aftering out of the supermarket, Gu Wanzhou was walking somewhat unsteadily. Clearly, she had drunk quite a bit earlier that night. At that moment, a drunkard passing by spotted Gu Wanzhou. He then blocked her path. "Beautifuldy, let''s walk together," he said. Gu Wanzhou sobered up a great deal, having not expected to encounter such people after drinking a bit too much tonight. Last time in the park it had been the same, and at that time, Li Zhiyan hade to her rescue. What about this time... Just as Gu Wanzhou was about to scream for help, Li Zhiyan, who ran over from behind, kicked the drunkard in the body, sending him flying away. The drunkard fell to the ground, let out a groan, and staggered, hardly able to get up. "Li Zhiyan!" "Let''s go quickly, Aunt Gu," Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou by the hand and headed for another street. The weather in Wancheng was very hot, with bursts of summer wind blowing in. The temperature hadn''t dropped in the slightest. Gu Wanzhou felt a strange sensation in her heart as Li Zhiyan took her hand. After walking for quite a while, the two finally stopped under a bridge. "Li Zhiyan, how did you happen to be here?" Gu Wanzhou, who had been drinking, spoke with a bit of an alcohol scent, but more prominent was the sweet smell from her mouth. Li Zhiyan loved to smell that scent. "Aunt Gu, I didn''t have military training today, so I came out for a stroll in the evening. I didn''t expect to run into you being harassed," "so I went up and gave him a kick," Remembering how the drunk had been kicked away, Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but cover her mouth andugh. However, at this moment, she had started to believe in the concept of fate. The various incidences that had happened between herself and this young man were too miraculous. Being saved by someone once could be a coincidence, but what about being saved a second time? Perhaps it could only be exined by the concept of destiny or fate. "Goodness." "When you told Auntie before that we were fated, Auntie thought it was a bit far-fetched." "But now, Auntie believes that we have fate together." "Once in the park, and now here again." "These two ces are tens of miles apart, yet we managed to meet each other." "You saved Auntie, it looks like we really are fated, mother and son," "Son, how about you acknowledge me as your mother?" Gu Wanzhou was moved. She had thought about taking Li Zhiyan as her godson more than once or twice; she liked Li Zhiyan too much. "No..." "Aunt Gu, I don''t want to be your son; I want to be your boyfriend." "Haven''t we already agreed on that before?" "Please consider the matter of being together with me seriously." "It''s been a while, you should give me an answer now, right?" Li Zhiyan intended to take this opportunity to establish their rtionship first. Then, he took Gu Wanzhou''s delicate hand, as if he feared she might run away. Seeing Li Zhiyan''s sincere expression. Gu Wanzhou''s heart was touched; the kid really wanted her to be his girlfriend. "If you have concerns, let''s try it first." "We can try it for a while, and if it doesn''t work out, I''ll just be your godson, how does that sound?" Li Zhiyan said earnestly. Hearing ''let''s try it,'' Gu Wanzhou was also curious. "Try how?" "Just pretend to be my girlfriend for one year." "If it works out, we''ll continue the rtionship; if not, we can break up." "One year." "That''s too long." Having drunk too much, Gu Wanzhou did not realize that she had been led astray by Li Zhiyan. "Half a year!" "Half a year is too long, I think at most one month..." Gu Wanzhou muttered. After speaking, she realized what she had said. Inexplicably, she had agreed to the young man''s request to be his girlfriend. Even if it was for a month, it was still a real breakthrough in their rtionship. "Then it''s settled." "You are my girlfriend now." Li Zhiyan hugged Gu Wanzhou excitedly, inhaling the scent of Aunt Gu. He remembered the day he had been reborn when he confessed to Aunt Gu and their conversation in the teahouse. Next, he needed to make Aunt Gu his real girlfriend. "Aunt Gu, now that you are my girlfriend, can I kiss you?" "What... a kiss..." Gu Wanzhou had not expected Li Zhiyan to make such an audacious request right off the bat. A kiss reminded her of the time when Li Zhiyan had massaged her. He had secretly kissed her then, and at that moment, Li Zhiyan had tried to probe with his tongue; she still remembered that sensation vividly. Now this boy was brazenly asking her for a kiss. What''s next? Would he want to touch her legs, other ces, or even suggest they get a room? "Aunt Gu, is it okay..." Without waiting for Gu Wanzhou''s consent, Li Zhiyan nted a kiss on her face. Chapter 130: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou! Gu Wanzhou hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to be so bold. It was a sudden attack,pletely unlike his previous secretive demeanor. Moreover, she felt that he had imperceptibly licked her. "Goodness, don''t do that..." "Don''t treat Auntie like this." Under the bridge, Gu Wanzhou had sobered up a bit by now. In her heart, she had always nned to coolly handle her rtionship with Li Zhiyan. Ultimately, she wanted him topletely forget about confessing his feelings to her. After all, he was now in college, where he might fall for some young and beautiful girls, and then all the issues would be solved. But as it happened, she had just agreed to be his girlfriend, even if it was only for a month, but it still counted. It was all because they were so fated that she had been so out of it, she supposed. Maybe it truly was destined to be. "Don''t be like this..." Gu Wanzhou held Li Zhiyan''s face, now finding him more and more agreeable the more she looked at him. Given Gu Wanzhou''s extremely assertive nature, Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to be too presumptuous. One could tell from her ex-husband''s attitude towards Aunt Gu that she was a very assertive person, including how much Yu Sisi feared Gu Wanzhou; it was just that she always treated herself like a child, and also had a good impression of him. That''s why she was so gentle with him. Aunt Gu was not like Aunt Fang; sometimes he could be more unrestrained with her because she was a more traditional woman. No matter what he did, she would just take it quietly and withstand it secretly. But assertive women like Aunt Gu were different. Some things had to be negotiated and agreed upon with her before proceeding, or else it might really end in aplete fallout. "Aunt Gu, I thought you were my girlfriend now, that''s why I kissed you..." Gu Wanzhou started walking towards the south. "Let''s take a walk." Li Zhiyan followed her, and right now, there was a feeling of excitement in his heart. No matter what, this was a good start, if it wasn''t for making Aunt Gu believe that they were truly fated, he and Aunt Gu would really never have a chance to begin. He was clear that what separated him and Gu Wanzhou was not just age, but also Yu Sisi. After all, he had pursued Yu Sisi before, and the problems he had to face afterwards were just too many. "Auntie is only your girlfriend for one month." After a while, Gu Wanzhou said somewhat dreamily, feeling the alcohol kicking in again. Being drunk really wasn''t too pleasant. "A one-month girlfriend is still a girlfriend," "I still want to exercise the rights of being your boyfriend." Gu Wanzhou found it somewhat amusing; she had only agreed to be his girlfriend for a month, and yet this kid had started to let his imagination run wild. "What do you want to do?" "Kids aren''t allowed to date." Li Zhiyan hurriedly said, "I''m not a kid, I am 18 and a half, a real adult now." "I know underage love isn''t right, but I''m not underage anymore." "You''ve agreed to be my girlfriend for a month, so you can''t go back on your word no matter what." At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s task wasplete, his savings ount had reached a whopping 660,000. Plus the actual liquidation value of the inte cafe, in terms of assets, Li Zhiyan was now a millionaire. "I..." Gu Wanzhou really wanted to take back her words, but as a strong and prideful woman, she simply couldn''t back down. At 41, she couldn''t possibly be indecisive in front of a boy 23 years her junior. That would be too embarrassing. For someone as proud as Gu Wanzhou, it was impossible. "Auntie won''t go back on her word, darling, you just be at ease." "However, I want to have a tonic rtionship with you." "During this month, when Auntie has time, I will date you, but we can''t do anything excessive, got it?" Gu Wanzhou truly loved the boy standing before her very much. Otherwise, she would not have been so proactive in wanting to be his godmother. She has always been very resistant to the idea of godmothers and godsons. But the boy kept pursuing her, and now, it had actually happened, albeit only for a month. "Can''t I touch your legs?" Walking down the street, Li Zhiyan asked very seriously. Gu Wanzhou felt likeughing. What was this boy thinking? If she didn''t understand him and know he wasn''t some lowlife, his words would sound like those of a hooligan. In Gu Wanzhou''s heart, Li Zhiyan was a very pure boy. Sometimes his strange behavior was just because of his hormones. That''s normal, she herself had some pretty strange ideas during her adolescence. "You can''t touch my legs!" She corrected him earnestly. "But when I massage you, isn''t that also touching your legs?" For a moment, Gu Wanzhou felt at a loss for words. It seemed like twisted logic, but technically, massaging wasn''t much different from touching legs. But they weren''t the same thing. "That''s for treatment, it''s not the same thing." "In any case, touching legs is not okay." Li Zhiyan: "Then I won''t touch your legs, I''ll give you a massage." "Can we kiss, then?" Gu Wanzhou felt like she had no way of dealing with Li Zhiyan; who made her like this kid so much! Chapter 131: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_2 "No kissing!" "Girlfriends are emotionalpanions, not for doing those strange things in your head." Li Zhiyan continued to ask, "Then can we hold hands?" "No holding hands." Gu Wanzhou again refused. In her heart, she was still considering acknowledging Li Zhiyan as her godson in the future. If some lines were crossed too much, it wouldn''t be so simple to return to the way things were before. What Li Zhiyan had secretly done in the past could be ignored, but if anything more happened while actually dating, there would be no turning back. Gu Wanzhou was very confident! She could stick to her boundaries during the time they were dating and not let this kid take advantage of her. "Isn''t it too much to not even hold hands, Aunt Gu?" "It''s not too much..." Li Zhiyan didn''t say anything. After a while, Gu Wanzhou also felt that it might indeed be too much to not even allow holding hands. After all, even in normal times, Li Zhiyan would sometimes hold her hand. "Alright, since you look so pitiful, we can hold hands, but nothing else," she relented. "Aunt Gu, remember we''re only dating for a month." Li Zhiyan said softly, "Okay, I understand, Aunt Gu." "Give me your hand, I want to take a walk with you while holding hands." "Wanzhou..." Li Zhiyan suddenly called Gu Wanzhou by her name, which gave him a sudden surge of nervousness. Calling Aunt Gu by her name "Wanzhou" seemed almost too audacious. It was like calling his own mom by her first name "Rongrong." After all, Aunt Gu was not the type who was trendy enough to ept a junior calling her by her first name. But now he was her boyfriend, albeit for just a month. He should be allowed to call her by her name, shouldn''t he? As he called out the name "Wanzhou," Li Zhiyan clearly felt Gu Wanzhou tense up. "What are you calling me...?" "You should be polite to your elders, call me Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to continue calling her by name. "Aunt Gu." "Now that I am your boyfriend, calling you by your name asionally shouldn''t be a problem." This time Gu Wanzhou didn''t object. asionally saying it wasn''t really a problem. "Here." Gu Wanzhou stretched out her hand, offering it to Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Gu, it kind of feels like you''re giving me pocket money," he said. Despite hisment, Li Zhiyan still took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. His heart was filled with longing. What would it feel like if one day Aunt Gu willingly let him touch her leg? Fortunately, he had already established a rtionship with Aunt Gu. Many things would be more convenient in the future. Without the status of being a boyfriend, perhaps many situations would never unfold. Just like the first time he showed the token of affection in front of Aunt Fang, things really progressed quickly from there. Feeling the silky touch of Aunt Gu''s hand, Li Zhiyan truly did not want to let go. "Aunt Gu, your hand is so soft, much softer than mine, and so white too." "After all, an aunt is a woman." Perhaps because she had been drinking, Gu Wanzhou''s mind conjured up the image of using her hand to service Li Zhiyan. It seems drinking really does no good. The two walked on, for over half an hour. Li Zhiyan still hadn''t let go of Gu Wanzhou''s hand. Gu Wanzhou, wearing high heels, was really getting tired. "My dear, haven''t you held Aunt Gu''s hand long enough?" In such weather, although it was already past nine o''clock, her palm was sweaty from holding hands for so long. Even so, Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go. "This is the first time I''ve held a girl''s hand, so of course I don''t want to let go. I want to keep holding your hand." Li Zhiyan wasn''t lying; every day felt like a first time. "You''re telling me it''s your first time holding a girl''s hand?" Gu Wanzhou found it surprising, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. He had always been pursuing Sisi and hadn''t had a girlfriend before, and after all, he was only 18, so it was normal for him to give his firsts to her. "Yes, Aunt Gu, that''s why I can''t bear to let go." As they continued, Gu Wanzhou''s pace gradually slowed; walking in high heels for so long was clearly taxing. Li Zhiyan, noticing Aunt Gu was tired, said, "Let me carry you back, Aunt Gu." Gu Wanzhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. At such times, it was clear she couldn''t make it back on her own, and there was no point in pretending otherwise. Li Zhiyan crouched down, and Gu Wanzhou leaned onto him. With a firm grip on Aunt Gu''s tight skirt, Li Zhiyan hoisted her onto his back and set off. Although Aunt Gu stood around 170 centimeters tall, she wasn''t heavy at all. Her bust alone ounted for a significant percentage of her total body weight. As they walked, his blood cirction sped up, and physically strengthened as he was, carrying Aunt Gu for a few hours wouldn''t be a problem; after all, some activities could be much more tiring than carrying someone for a few hours. Men passing by looked at Li Zhiyan with envy and inferiority; young men are really something else. Not only are they mature beyond their years, but to carry a woman so effortlessly is quite impressive. Lying on Li Zhiyan''s back, Gu Wanzhou felt very tired and wanted to sleep but somehow couldn''t. Chapter 132: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_3 Now, between me and Li Zhiyan, we really do have that romantic feeling and vor... Before returning to the hotel, Li Zhiyan saw that the drunkard was still sprawled on the ground. It was obvious that after my kick, he simply couldn''t be bothered to get up. The drunkard posed no threat to Aunt Gu, but he did create an opportunity for me. When we came to Gu Wanzhou''s Mercedes E-ss, Li Zhiyan somewhat reluctantly put her down. "Aunt Gu, let me drive you home." This offer surprised Gu Wanzhou. "You can drive?" "Of course, I''m very good at driving. I was the best at driving school, nobody could drive better than me." My mom loves me so much that she had me learn to get my driver''s license on Sundays after I''de of age. After the college entrance exams, I got my C1 license in a crash course. After all, if Bruce got a C1, getting a driver''s license for me was really easy. In my former life, it was two years after graduating from university that Li Zhiyan eventually began to drive. With so many years of driving experience, he''s definitely an old hand at it now. When the engine overheats, when to start the car, when to step on the gas, when to shift gears, and issues with the car''s chassis and noises¡ªhe knows it all too well. Driving Aunt Gu home would be no problem at all. "Okay, then Aunt Gu wants to see your driving skills." Gu Wanzhou got into the passenger seat. Those like her who were in the business, often needing to use vehicles, always had insurance, so Gu Wanzhou was not worried about Li Zhiyan wrecking the car. However, after seeing how expertly Li Zhiyan started the car, she couldn''t help but ask, bewildered, "My, my, Aunt Gu feels like you''ve been driving for many years." "Maybe I''m just naturally talented." Li Zhiyan leaned in closer, suddenly approaching her, letting Gu Wanzhou sense the masculine scent of his body, making her instinctively feel tense, and her face began to turn red. Could it be that he wants to kiss me... But it was only after Li Zhiyan pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it for her that he stepped on the gas to set off. When taking a turn, he habitually steered with one hand, not to show off but simply out of personal habit; someday if he had the means, he would drive a Ferrari the same way, single-handed. However, his right hand kept subconsciously reaching toward Aunt Gu''s leg, which he managed to refrain from touching. If he actually touched Aunt Gu''s leg, there would be trouble. It was not until they arrived at Gu Wanzhou''s residentialplex that Li Zhiyan finally rxed; he truly couldn''t feel at ease if he didn''t escort Aunt Gu home at thiste hour. Standing at the doorway to her home after taking the elevator, Li Zhiyan said with some reluctance, "Then, Aunt Gu, I''ll head back now." "Wanzhou, as your boyfriend, may I embrace you before we part?" Li Zhiyan made a request for a hug. "No..." Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn''t give up so easily; he had to feel Aunt Gu''s embrace once more. "Aunt Gu, please, Wanzhou." "Please..." "Just once, just one time, Aunt Gu, I promise it''ll be just a hug." He clung to Gu Wanzhou''s hand and wouldn''t let go, almost as if he wouldn''t leave without a cuddle. "You child..." As Gu Wanzhouughed at being called Wanzhou repeatedly, she also felt she had no recourse against Li Zhiyan; their entanglement was indeed a bit too deep. They were already inseparable now. "Fine then, but hurry up and leave after the hug." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan eagerly embraced Gu Wanzhou, greedily inhaling the fragrance of her body after circling his arms around her waist. The scent of Gu Wanzhou''s body was truly special, unforgettable for Li Zhiyan. Feeling Aunt Gu''s warmth, Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go. "My dear, is this what you mean by ''just once''?" After Gu Wanzhou patted Li Zhiyan''s head, they finally separated. "Aunt Gu, have a good rest, I''m heading back now." "Take my car back with you, it''s not safe thiste." "It''s okay, Aunt Gu, I''d have to bring your car back again, and as a man, there''s nothing unsafe for me, and ordinary people are no match for me anyway." Aunt Gu didn''t doubt this; even though Li Zhiyan was just over one seventy, he was really fierce in a fight¡ªlet''s not even bring up the drunkard. Previously, that one eighty-plus guy, Huang Mao, who was very strong, was quickly taken down by Li Zhiyan. Still, at this moment, Aunt Gu felt incredibly worried. "Forget it, you can stay at my ce tonight." "It''s just me at home right now; you can sleep in the guest room." Upon hearing he could stay at Gu Wanzhou''s ce, Li Zhiyan couldn''t control the excitement in his heart any longer. "Great, Aunt Gu, let''s go inside then." "You don''t seem shy at all." "Wanzhou, what do I have to be shy about? You''re my girlfriend now, it''s only natural for the two of us to live together." Li Zhiyan''s words made Gu Wanzhou''s face heat up. After entering the home and surveying the interior, Li Zhiyan knew that he was going to be the master of the house. "You go take a shower first. Use that bathroom, and I''ll also take a shower." "Aunt Gu, you want to shower with me?" Although he really liked calling Gu Wanzhou by her name, Li Zhiyan was still a bit timid at heart. He could imagine Aunt Gu''s assertive nature. Although she''s always been gentle with him. Chapter 133: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_4 "What are you thinking about, Li Zhiyan?" "The master bedroom has a bathroom too, we can use whichever we want. What strange thoughts are filling your head?" "If you keep this up, I won''t date you anymore." Li Zhiyan hurriedly said, "Sorry, Aunt Gu." "I won''t say any more. You go take a bath." After Gu Wanzhou went back to her room, Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, with the weather being so hot, a bath was really needed. He went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and quickly showered. Only after his shower did Li Zhiyan feel a pleasant sensation, but then came the headache¡ªhis shirt and underwear were soaked with sweat. It was really troublesome, but Li Zhiyan wasn''t one to fuss. He simply threw his underwear and shirt into theundry basket, wearing just his shorts as hey down on the sofa, feeling veryfortable. Men probably only need a few minutes to shower, while it is different for women, especially beautiful women, whose bath time often exceeds expectations. Li Zhiyan looked at his phone that had only one bar of battery left, took out another battery from his pocket to rece it, then picked up the universal charger from the table to charge the dead battery. Li Zhiyan happily turned on QQ. Unfortunately, such a great thing as a universal charger wouldn''tst long before itpletely disappeared from history. After opening QQ, there were many messages. Messages from Auntie Rao, Auntie Jiang. Also from Mom''s best friend Wu Qingxian. Messages from his mother-inw, as well as from the counselor. The counselor''s messages were all filled with concern for him. Wu Qingxian: "Xiao Yan, are you at school? Auntie is now working at apany near your school." "Come over when you have time, and Auntie will cook for you." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Aunt Wu, it''s been a long time since I''ve had your cooking." Han Xueying: "ssmate Li Zhiyan." "Even though you are exempt from military training, the temporary ss leader couldn''t find you during the dormitory check." "This isn''t good. Come to the field obediently tomorrow, the teacher wants to see you in person." "Otherwise, it''s worrying for the teacher not to see you." The counselor was just such a caring woman, the perfect elder sister figure, with whom one could talk about anything. But Li Zhiyan knew beneath her gentle smiley much hidden suffering. Li Zhiyan: "I understand, Teacher Han." "I''ll go to school tomorrow, rest assured, I''m really fine." Now that Fang Zhiya had gone to work and would only be back in the evening, he felt quite bored being alone during the day. Going to the field to chat with Han Xueying wasn''t a bad idea. After all, he admired the counselor''s enduring charm. Then came messages from Shen Rongfei. Towards this woman with a face as bewitching as a bewitching fox, Li Zhiyan really respected her from the bottom of his heart. Shen Rongfei: "Li Zhiyan." "How is your rtionship with Chenchen progressing?" Within the spacious t, Shen Rongfeiy on the sofa, her long shapely stockinged legs as eye-catching as ever. At any time, she was obsessed with stockings. Now all of Shen Rongfei''s thoughts were focused on her daughter. She hoped someone could help her daughter unlock the emotional barriers that had been sealed for so long. To see the smile of her childhood return to her daughter''s face. Li Zhiyan: "Mom, don''t worry." "I''m trying my best. No matter how difficult, I will help Chenchen get through it." Being so straightforwardly called ''Mom'', Shen Rongfei felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in her heart. Her face struggled to hide a smile, and when she did, the gorgeousness was magnified to the extreme. This kid, really did seem to want to be her son-inw. Although it was a bit amusing... However, Shen Rongfei could feel that the kid was indeed very sincere in wanting to be her son-inw. And she had even visited the Brotherhood Inte Cafe. After inquiring, she found out that Li Zhiyan indeed took over an almost bankrupt inte cafe at a low price and turned it profitable. He had the kind of ability to turn decay into a miracle. Thinking about it, Shen Rongfei liked the kid even more. In the future, he was very likely to be her son-inw. With her stockinged legs pressed together, Shen Rongfei began to slowly text chat with Li Zhiyan. Shen Rongfei: "Alright, then you work hard, and report back to Auntie anytime there''s a situation." "But ''Mom'' can be saved forter." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Aunt Shen, but in my heart, you''re already my mother." After chatting for a bit with people on QQ, Li Zhiyan then focused all his attention on chatting with Su Mengchen. Su Mengchen took a long time to reply, but he wasn''t in a hurry, persistently typing away to Su Mengchen. To break through the defenses of a tough inner heart, one must tirelessly chip away, with persistence, until finally reaching her heart, achieving the result he wanted. After chatting for over half an hour, the door to the master bedroom opened. Li Zhiyan briefly put down his phone. "Aunt Gu, you''ve finished showering." Just out of the bath, Gu Wanzhou''s skin looked even softer, and her damp hair brought out her femininity to the fullest. Aunt Gu, even without wearing her tailored pencil skirt, still exuded a strong womanly charm. "Yeah, what are you lying here for?" Seeing Li Zhiyan shirtless, her face flushed slightly. It had to be said, Li Zhiyan''s physique was quite good. Though he didn''t have a six-pack, his shape and lines were perfect, and just looking at him made one feel a certain inexplicable sense of strength. Chapter 134: Number 090, Time-Limited Girlfriend Gu Wanzhou!_5 "I''ll chat on QQ for a bit, and I''ll be right back." "Aunt Gu, do you have a headache? Do you want me to massage your head for you?" "It''s much better now, you go back to your room and sleep." "By the way..." Gu Wanzhou went back to her room, then came out with a set of clothes. "My clothes, you wear them first." "Leave your pants in the bathroom, Auntie will wash them for you in a bit." Li Zhiyan never expected that he would one day wear Aunt Gu''s clothes. But this white shirt and the rtively loose shorts were quite alright to wear. "Alright." In the bathroom, after Li Zhiyan changed into the clothes, he felt very squeezed although Aunt Gu had a height around 170, but after all, she was a woman. Things that used to be hidden when wearing his own clothes now seemed less conceble. Aftering out of the bathroom, Li Zhiyan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Aunt Gu." "I''m going to rest first." Watching Li Zhiyan''s retreating figure... Gu Wanzhou''s heart pounded wildly. This kid really is talented, and now, she was supposedly his girlfriend? She returned to her room once, took her own clothes out as well. Gu Wanzhou mixed Li Zhiyan''s shirt and pants with her shirt and skirt and threw them into the washing machine. As for the underwear, she was used to hand-washing it. Gently rubbing the underwear in a small basin, Gu Wanzhou''s thoughts began to wander. It took her another ten or so minutes before she went back to her room. The alcohol and the day''s events mingled in her mind, and Gu Wanzhou fell into a heavy sleep. ... The next morning at eight, Gu Wanzhou woke up first. As usual, she stretched, and the memories of yesterday surged like a tide, giving her a bit of a headache. What on earth had she done yesterday? She went drinking, and because the partner was a woman and they had history, she didn''t call for help to avoid any ident, and she drank a lot. Later, she encountered a drunkard... And then, Li Zhiyan appeared, and somehow, she became his girlfriend, even though it was just for a month. But a girlfriend nevertheless. If certain things weren''t well controlled, they could really spiral in an uncontroble direction. If things truly went that far, the result would inevitably be a mess since there was a 23-year age gap between her and him, and after all, he had chased Si Si for so long. "Little Darling and I, we really are fated." Though she didn''t want to admit it, Gu Wanzhou found that her nned cold treatment was utterly ineffective! She would always end up bumping into Li Zhiyan under various circumstances, getting more entangled, and inseparable. The probability of such low-probability events happening in session was even lower than winning the lottery, yet they just kept cropping up in her life. "I should go check on the little guy." Thinking ofst night''s scene when she was washing Li Zhiyan''s clothes, and that ''20'' mark, her lovely face turned a bit red. And yes, she did let him wear her clothes. After going to the guest room, she gently pushed the door open. Gu Wanzhou then saw Li Zhiyan sound asleep. Young people are truly arrogant... Gu Wanzhou took a nce and then quietly withdrew to make breakfast for Li Zhiyan. Somehow, having Li Zhiyan at home suddenly felt quite fulfilling. Not long after, Li Zhiyan came out wearing Gu Wanzhou''s shorts and white button-up shirt. "Wanzhou!" After seeing Gu Wanzhou''s look, Li Zhiyan hurriedly corrected himself to Aunt Gu. The temper of someone who has just woken up is not too good! "Aunt Gu." "You''re up so early." Li Zhiyan was wearing a shirt that was quite small, and it was obviously just bulging at the front. Clearly, without Aunt Gu''s bosom, it was impossible to casually fill out this shirt. "Of course, Auntie has to get up to make breakfast for you." In the kitchen, Gu Wanzhou''s graceful figure made Li Zhiyan really want to hold her from behind. But he truly felt timid before the assertive Aunt Gu. After a while, he stepped forward. And took hold of Gu Wanzhou''s jade hand. "Aunt Gu." "Your hands are so pretty." "Wanting to hold hands this early in the day, huh." Li Zhiyan said helplessly, "You only let me hold your hand; I can only touch your hand, since you don''t let me do anything else." "Anyway, this month, I can use your hand freely." "So you''re saying your Aunt''s hand is yours for this month?" "Yes, that''s what you promised me." Feeling the smooth touch of Gu Wanzhou''s jade hand, Li Zhiyan held her hand. And then gently kissed it. That slightly warm and moist sensation made Gu Wanzhou feel like she had been electrically shocked. "Xiao Yan..." "Aunt Gu, since I can hold hands, then a light kiss should be okay, too, right?" "No..." Looking into Li Zhiyan''s eager eyes, Gu Wanzhou, who intended to refuse, swallowed her words of rejection; this kid had really helped her out a lottely. Just a kiss on the hand, after all, wasn''t much different from holding hands. "Alright, but no kissing for too long." The next second, Gu Wanzhou''s face turned even redder. "Xiao Yan... Don''t lick Auntie''s hand..." Chapter 135: 091 Aunt Fang in the kitchen... Gu Wanzhou hadn''t expected this. That Li Zhiyan would actually define intimacy this way. It was supposed to be just a kiss. But now he was directly licking her. A feeling like an electric shock arrived, making Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face also flush with red. Her traditional heart, ultimately found such behavior a bit too much to ept. "Xiao Yan, don''t do this." Li Zhiyan lifted his head, still unwilling to let go of Gu Wanzhou''s jade-like hand at this moment. "Aunt Gu¡­" "What is it?" "You said you were just going to kiss Auntie''s hand, but you licked Auntie''s fingers." "What kind of kiss is that?" Looking at the steaming pot, Gu Wanzhou pulled her hand away from Li Zhiyan, feeling so shy in her heart. She was 41, how could she have such a big reaction to Li Zhiyan. At this moment, Li Zhiyan also didn''t dare to go too far. He really didn''t want to make Aunt Gu angry. "Aunt Gu, your hand is really sweet," he said. "Do you think Auntie is a sugarcane, sweet?" When Gu Wanzhou and Li Zhiyan were together, sometimes she couldn''t help but find it funny, like the time her ex-husband tried to touch her under the table but ended up touching Li Zhiyan''s shoe instead. The serious way Li Zhiyan asked about it truly made Gu Wanzhou almost burst intoughter. "Anyway, it''s sweet!" "In my heart, every part of you is sweet." Gu Wanzhou thought back to the time Li Zhiyan licked her leg. "Stop talking, go and wash up. I''ve prepared a new toothbrush for you; it''s on the washbasin." "Take off your clothes." "They''re already dry." Recalling the time she helped Li Zhiyan wash his underwear, Gu Wanzhou felt ovee with embarrassment. In her heart, she was indeed just a traditional woman, after all. "Then Aunt Gu, I''ll go now." ... After changing his clothes, thinking that they were personally washed by Aunt Gu, Li Zhiyan felt an inexplicable sensation in his heart. He knew that the red basin was specially used by Aunt Gu to wash underwear by hand. This undergarment had also been washed with Aunt Gu''s clothes. During breakfast, Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to be too presumptuous. Licking Aunt Gu''s hand this morning had already put her on guard. One month was enough time for him to do too many things. There was no need to rush for just a little while. Afterwards, Gu Wanzhou drove Li Zhiyan to school. "Behave yourself in school, okay?" Gu Wanzhou felt a strange sense of relief in her heart. With one month, as long as she found excuses to avoid Li Zhiyan, everything would go back to normal after the month was over. She couldn''t possibly keep running into him by chance, could she? If her fate with him had reached that kind of extent, it could only be exined as destiny. "Aunt Gu, get out of the car." "What is it?" "Get out¡­" Although Gu Wanzhou was somewhat puzzled, she still got out of the car. The next second, Li Zhiyan hugged her. After a tight hug, feeling Aunt Gu''s embrace, Li Zhiyan earnestly said, "As my girlfriend, it''s customary to hug when we part." "Off you go, kiddo¡­" Gu Wanzhou encouraged Li Zhiyan to leave, watching his retreating figure. Gu Wanzhou got back into the car and buried her face in the steering wheel, giving it a milk-feed. "Xiao Yan¡­" "Forget it, better not to think too much. There are still so many things to do." ... At this moment, military training had already started, with the second and third-year students enjoying the air conditioning in the ssroom. While the first-year freshmen were miserably bearing the sun during their military training. Except for Li Zhiyan. Walking along, Li Zhiyan received a new task from the system. "Wang Shangyan has taken over the school''s western supermarket this year." "Please visit her and have a heartfelt conversation with her." "Task reward, thirty thousand yuan in cash." "Special reward, height increase to 180 cm." "Note, to increase the height, you must continue ying basketball until you reach 180 cm." This time, Li Zhiyan was somewhat bewildered. His current height was only about 172.5 cm, not short, but definitely not tall; actually, if he dressed up seriously, he was somewhat handsome. But an average height was a real drawback. If he could increase his height to 180 cm, he would definitely stand out in a crowd. "Do it, definitely do it!" Nothing could stop him from aplishing this task. After bing an adult, growing taller would have been impossible without the system. "Wimpy System, I apologize," he said. "I really shouldn''t have thought of you as the Wimpy System." After checking the task timeline, Li Zhiyan wasn''t in a hurry. He headed straight to the sports field and sent many messages to Su Mengchen along the way, hoping to quickly break down Chenchen''s defenses. If he could get Chenchen to agree to meet one day, future tasks would be much smoother. To open up Chenchen''s heart and make her happy. That was also Aunt Shen''s hope. Arriving at the sports field, it was just time for a break. Ziang Zexi, Su Quanyou, and Zhang Zhiyuan, all three show-offs, gathered around Li Zhiyan as soon as they saw himing. "Brother Yan, you''re so cool!" "No military training, going around setting up dates." After experiencing Li Zhiyan''s prowess, Zhang Zhiyuan boasted about Li Zhiyan''s virility to fellow students and imed he was the most powerful man in the entire school. Some of the male students who had showered with Li Zhiyan also blew their own trumpets, and now there were some legends about Li Zhiyan in the school. "Date? I was just out ying, nothing so fancy," he replied. "Looking at the dorm group messages, have you started pursuing Su Mengyue?" Chapter 136: 091 Aunt Fang in the kitchen……_2 My rebirth might cause some butterfly effects, allowing certain things to happen that originally didn''t, but some things always remain unchanged. For instance, Zhang Zhiyuan''s relentless pursuit of Su Mengyue. But Li Zhiyan did actually have a good impression of the girl Su Mengyue, she always spoke frankly about her dislikes, and she didn''t ept gifts from others. Even under Zhang Zhiyuan''s ardent presentation, Su Mengyue epted a gift from him just once. She even reciprocated by giving Zhang Zhiyuan a wallet. Although it wasn''t expensive, it still counted as courtesy returned. "Yeah, the ss belle is really so gorgeous, I''m smitten, I swear I''ll totally make her mine." Ziang Zexi patted Zhang Zhiyuan''s shoulder. "Bro, I think Su Mengyue is out of your league, she was asking about Brother Yan just yesterday, I reckon she likes Brother Yan." Li Zhiyan was taken aback, in his previous life he hardly had any interaction with Su Mengyue. After graduation, he didn''t know anything about her, and now she was asking about him? "No way..." "Yes, it''s true," Su Quanyou said earnestly, "Brother Yan wrestling the instructor to the ground, that was just too cool, and your ''Dragon Legend'' is getting hotter and hotter around the school." "Now there are even senior girls wanting to add Brother Yan on QQ, after all, who doesn''t like a man who shows great promise at a young age." Then he seemed to remember something. "Right, Brother Yan, I heard you beat up Yin Qiang?" "Not exactly beat him, it was just grabbing his wrist." The roommates all started worrying upon hearing Li Zhiyan''s confirmation. "Anyway, Brother Yan, you''d better be careful." "Yin Qiang is the Student Council President, and his mom is the department head, he really isn''t someone to mess with." Li Zhiyan remained silent; the Student Council might indeed seem imposing to students who hadn''t seen much of the world, after all, even senior Mei Yu could throw her weight around. But to Li Zhiyan, that was truly nothing, having been reborn, even this diploma was nothing more than a piece of scrap paper to him. After that, the conversation among the four of them started to get cheeky. Risqu¨¦ talk is a great way to rapidly strengthen the bonds of male friendship. It was not until Su Mengyue ran up to them with a bottle of Nongfu Spring that the bantering stopped abruptly. Looking at Su Mengyue, who looked pretty even in military training uniform with her hair tied back in a ponytail, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn''t help but fantasize. Maybe Su Mengyue came to find him. However, what Su Mengyue said next dragged him back to reality. "Li Zhiyan!" "For you to drink¡­" After thrusting the water bottle into Li Zhiyan''s hand, Su Mengyue ran off shyly, her demeanor of a girl with a budding crush so obvious that even a fool could tell she was interested in Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan was taken aback, when had he ever had such a shining moment! Such things were unthinkable to him before. However, he hadn''t noticed before that if Su Mengyue were to wait another decade or so, she would definitely be a beautiful woman. Han Xueying, who had just walked over from a distance, saw this scene very clearly. This kid, seemingly so ordinary, was able to attract the ss belle? "Assemble!" The drill instructor''s whistle sounded. Ziang Zexi and the others dashed toward the assembly point, with Zhang Zhiyuan looking noticeably dejected. "Li Zhiyan, I didn''t see thating, you''re quite popr." Han Xueying stood next to Li Zhiyan, her pretty face still wearing a gentle smile, always so tender to her fellow ssmates. Although surprised, after a thought Han Xueying felt it was normal; the moment Li Zhiyan had effortlessly bested the instructor in wrestling did make him seem quite cool. Girls in their adolescence might fall for someone over a small thing. "It was just water, Teacher Han." Han Xueying looking at the bottle of Nongfu Spring water said, "Although it''s just water, Su Mengyue already has that idea about you." "You should grasp the opportunity well,tely quite a few sophomores and juniors have been asking for Su Mengyue''s QQ number, but I saw her refusing them all, you have a good chance, Li Zhiyan." Li Zhiyan knew that Han Xueying was a woman who could chat about anything. If nothing unexpected happened, standing here with her could lead to a long conversation. Recalling that in his past life his counselor had helped him heal so much pain, Li Zhiyan was filled with gratitude. "Teacher Han..." "May I call you Aunt Han?" Han Xueying''s lovely face showed some surprise. "Why¡­" "Because it feels more intimate." "Maybe because Ie from a single-parent family, so I receive less affection." "I really like your smile." "I want to call you auntie." Li Zhiyan knew Han Xueying was a kind-hearted confidante; addressing her this way could quickly bridge their distance. He needed to take care of Aunt Han well, so it would be easier for him to ask for leave during his university days. Han Xueying fell silent for a moment, feeling pity for Li Zhiyan''s family situation. She hadn''t realize he was from a single-parent family until now. "Alright... when there''s no one else around, you can call me Aunt Han." "But in front of the other students, you still have to call me Teacher Han, after all, I am your counselor." "Alright..." Li Zhiyan agreed and Han Xueying patted his head, thinking what a good kid he was. Chapter 137: 091 Aunt Fang in the kitchen……_3 "Li Zhiyan, actually you could find a girlfriend in college, Aunt Han thinks Su Mengyue is quite suitable." "She''s very gentle and pretty too, if you were with her, all the boys in ss would surely be envious of you." Li Zhiyan sincerely replied, "Aunt Han, Su Mengyue is not my type." "Huh?" Han Xueying became more and more surprised, Su Mengyue was so beautiful and gentle, yet she was not his type, was Li Zhiyan being too picky. "I like women who are over thirty-five, around forty years old." Li Zhiyan''s words made Han Xueying''s face heat up, this kid, why would he like mature women. She herself was 39 this year, which happened to be the age he liked. "You''re still young, how could you like women who are around thirty-five?" Han Xueying was like that, no matter what the topic was, she could always engage in conversation. "Maybe it''s because Icked love from a very young age." "So I feel rather inferior inside,cking a sense of security." "Subconsciously, my heart wants to find an older aunt to be my girlfriend." "That way, I would feel very secure." Afterward, Li Zhiyan looked at Han Xueying. "Aunt Han, I like someone like you." "Beautiful, gentle, and a considerate big sister with style." "Looking at you, I just feel secure." Li Zhiyan''s few words made Han Xueying''s pretty facepletely burn up with heat. She loved chatting with students, but she had never had such a topic of conversation before. Being told to her face by a student that he liked women of her age. "But, a 40-year-old woman is old enough to be your mother." Han Xueying''s face was heating up. "I think that''s okay, a motherly girlfriend is quite nice too." "And a woman is like fine wine, at the age of 40, they are at their most beautiful and womanly phase." "Their figure also reaches the best state." "Anyway, I just like women like you, Aunt Han." "I want to find a girlfriend who is like you." The more they talked, the hotter Han Xueying''s face got. "Li Zhiyan, Aunt Han thinks it''s not right for you to be like this, you should like young girls, look at Su Mengyue, how beautiful she is." "She''s full of that youthful vigor, Aunt Han is so envious of these young girls'' youth." Li Zhiyan continued to ask, "Do you like the youthful energy of young boys then?" "Would you consider a boy my age to be your boyfriend?" A regr chat set Han Xueying''s heart pounding erratically. At that moment, Han Xueying had a kind of illusion... It felt like Li Zhiyan was talking about him and herself being alike. "No..." "I like mature and reliable men, those who are sessful in their careers, kids are just a bit too immature." "Oh, anyway, I want to find a mature woman like Aunt Han to be my girlfriend." Next, Han Xueying, like Gu Wanzhou, wanted to correct Li Zhiyan''s thinking and talked to him about the Oedipusplex. However, the counselor''s eloquence was obviously not as good as Li Zhiyan''s, and their conversationsted a long time before it ended, with Han Xueying leaving the yground with a red face. The more she talked with Li Zhiyan, the more she felt the illusion of being led by him. And Li Zhiyan''s erudition also amazed her, as if there was nothing he didn''t understand. ... At lunchtime, Zhang Zhiyuan was feeling pretty down. If only he could be like Brother Yan, sessful at a young age, indeed that''s what women liked. "Do any of you y basketball?" Li Zhiyan, eating lunch in the cafeteria, asked. "Basketball? Brother Yan, do you like ying this?" "Yes, I want to y and see if I can grow taller." Ziang Zexi, who was over 1.8 meters, was also surprised to hear Li Zhiyan wanted to grow taller. "Brother Yan, we''re already adults, it''s not likely to grow taller now, but if you y basketball and reach for heights every day before turning 16, it''s still possible to shoot up." Li Zhiyan said nonchntly, "I''ve had it checked at the hospital, my growth tes haven''t closed, the doctor said it''s still possible to grow taller with ying basketball and proper nutrition." "Alright then, this is serious business, from now on let''s apany Brother Yan to y basketball in the evenings." "Sure, hey, Brother Yan, since you took my ss beauty Su Mengyue, you''ve got to treat me to some hot and sour noodles to make it up to me!" Even the otaku Su Quanyou agreed. These three show-offs weren''t as tight with Li Shiyu and him, but they were still decent friends. At noon, Li Zhiyan went to the shower room. After he entered, the rest of the students all avoided him, avoiding his gaze. This made Li Zhiyan inexplicably feel like a school tyrant in aic, these people shying away because they felt inferior. The feeling of being sessful at a young age was truly exhrating! After returning to the dormitory, Li Zhiyan continued chatting with Su Mengchen, and Fang Zhiya also sent him a message asking if he wasing home tonight. Fang Zhiya: "Baby, are youing home tonight?" "That thing seems to being soon..." Li Zhiyan: "I''ll definitelye back." If he didn''t go back now, then for the next seven days it would be pointless to even want to go back. Li Zhiyan deeply understood he had to seize the opportunity properly... In the afternoon, just past three o''clock and seeing that the time for the task was approaching, Li Zhiyan finally left. He didn''t want to miss out on the chance to make money, especially since there was a reward for his attributes this time. Upon arriving at the school''s supermarket, he saw Li Meifeng and Lew Huan standing at the entrance chatting. Chapter 138: 091 Aunt Fang in the kitchen……_4 Li Meifeng also came? But that''s quite normal. Li Meifeng and Lew Huan are business partners, inseparable in business, and Wang Shangyan owns a supermarket. As an ex-husband who has always wanted to remarry Wang Shangyan, Lew Huan would definitelye, and it was only natural for Li Meifeng to follow. Facing such nuisance-talk, Li Zhiyan felt he couldn''t bear to listen directly. Often he thought he was dirty enough, but every time he saw Li Meifeng, he felt he wasn''t quite there yet. This, after all, had to be managed by Li Meifeng herself. "Li Zhiyan, what a coincidence!" "Auntie, I didn''t expect to see you here." "It''s a pity that Rao, the great beauty, didn''te; otherwise, she could have found a corner to breastfeed you." Li Meifeng''s words irritated Lew Huan. He had desired Rao Shi Yun''s voluptuous figure and beautiful face for more than just a day or two. But due to Li Zhiyan''s appearance, there had been no progress. And his gorgeous wife had even divorced him. All this was because of that annoying brat; thest person Lew Huan wanted to see was him. But now, there he was, right in front of him, and at this moment, Lew Huan didn''t want to speak at all. "Uncle Lew." "Your wound has healed, huh?" "Even the bandages are off." Li Zhiyan''s words gave Lew Huan a headache, as if he had been hit on the head with a bottle again. Hearing Li Zhiyan''s voice outside, Wang Shangyan thought she was hallucinating. Stepping out, she indeed saw Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, howe you''re here, are you studying in this area?" "Yes, Auntie Wang, we really are fated." Facing this hot-tempered and violent woman, Li Zhiyan''s heart always harbored some apprehension. "Xiao Yan, that''s quite the coincidence. Auntie has taken over the supermarket here; we might have to see each other often from now on." "I will have toe check on it frequently." Saying so, Wang Shangyan took the initiative to grab Li Zhiyan''s hand. "Xiao Yan, Auntie really likes you the most." When Wang Shangyan first met Li Zhiyan, she had an uncontroble liking for him, thanks to Li Meifeng''s praises. She thought that such a motivated and good kid like Li Zhiyan was truly rare. And the sight of Li Zhiyan drinking seven people under the table alone became something Wang Shangyan found unforgettable. Untilst time, after witnessing Li Zhiyan''s erudition, her fondness for the boy became uncontroble. If only her son were half as excellent as him. "Auntie Wang, I also really like you." Li Zhiyan was very fond of attractive older women, and now that Auntie Wang was divorced, he could actually pursue her. "You''re still young, and you have such a sweet mouth." Wang Shangyan stroked Li Zhiyan''s face, finding him more and more to her liking. Smelling the scent on Wang Shangyan, and looking at her delicate beauty and the carefully styled curls, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat intoxicated. Auntie Wang really was beautiful and had an amazing figure. Being this close to Wang Shangyan allowed Li Zhiyan to appreciate Auntie Wang''s assets, and those endlessly deep ravines. Lew Huan, seeing the two of them so close, with Li Zhiyan even allowed to casually touch his ex-wife''s tender hand, felt terrible inside. Before the divorce, his wife had long stopped letting him touch her; he couldn''t even grasp that tender hand. Now, he was somewhat regretful for being so greedy to sleep with Rao Shi Yun. After all, his wife was a top beauty who was no less than Rao Shi Yun, except that his wife''s bust wasn''t as exaggerated as Rao Shi Yun''s D+. Lew Huan always had the feeling that his wife was drifting away from him. No... he had to do something, and not let this annoying kid keep messing up his affairs. And to touch his ex-wife''s hand so boldly and publicly... it was too much. "Wife, that... um," "Men and women shouldn''t touch; you shouldn''t keep holding another person''s hand. They might get embarrassed." In the end, jealous Lew Huan couldn''t help but speak out. Wang Shangyan''s mood was quite good, as she had been considering remarrying Lew Huan these days. But at that moment, hearing Lew Huan''s words, she couldn''t help but feel a surge of irritation; men and women shouldn''t touch, indeed. When you were out there phndering, you never acted like this. You even wanted to sleep with Rao Shi Yun, and if Li Zhiyan hadn''t intervened that day, Wang Shangyan could imagine what would have ensued. "Lew Huan, you''re disgusting!" Her voice was tinged with anger, making Li Zhiyan think she might just pick up a brick from the ground and smash it on Lew Huan''s head at any moment. However, she held on to Li Zhiyan''s hand, unwilling to let go. "What''s disgusting about that? Isn''t it wrong for men and women not to touch?" Lew Huan retorted, getting heated. "Men and women shouldn''t touch, Li Zhiyan is just an 18-year-old kid, and I''m 40. I''m 22 years older than him." "I could be his mother. What''s wrong with holding a child''s hand?" "Your thinking is filthy. Don''t assume everyone in the world is like you." "Your mentality truly sickens me." "I''m not even talking about holding hands, even if I kissed him, it wouldn''t matter; I''m just an elder to Xiao Yan." Saying that, Wang Shangyan kissed Li Zhiyan on the face, leaving behind a lipstick mark. "Exactly, Lew Huan, you''re too petty. Li Zhiyan is just a kid after all; you''re too sensitive." Chapter 139: 091 Aunt Fang in the kitchen……_5 "Even kissing is nothing." Li Meifeng also spoke up for Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan. Although she knew that Li Zhiyan could make Wang Shangyan pregnant six or seven times in one night, Li Zhiyan had helped her a lot, so naturally, she had to back him up. "Wang Shangyan, don''t go too far!" Lew Huan was so angry that smoke seemed toe out of his seven orifices, and his vision even began to cken, almost losing his bnce. "Where have I gone too far, you with your filthy mind, dirty, disgusting, we''re never getting back together!" "Li Zhiyan is just a kid, even if I kiss him, it''s nothing." Then, Wang Shangyan cupped Li Zhiyan''s face and kissed him on the lips. Li Zhiyan licked his lips subconsciously. He wanted to use the techniques Rao Shi Yun had taught him, but in an instant, he realized something was off... In that moment, Wang Shangyan''s mind also went nk; the kid seemed to have really kissed her back. She had only intended to anger her ex-husband. In Wang Shangyan''s heart, she had always regarded Li Zhiyan as a child. But at that moment, she realized that Li Zhiyan had already turned 18, he was an adult. Lew Huan clenched his fists and turned to leave, clearly on the verge of going mad with rage. "He''s not a real man..." "Why be so petty." "Shangyan, don''t be mad, I''ll go talk to him." Watching the departing pair, Wang Shangyan''s anger slowly dissipated. What had she just done... It seemed as if she had kissed Li Zhiyan, even if it was just for a moment. "Xiao Yan, um, do you want some water? The supermarket has stocked up quite a lot of goods." "If you want water, Auntie will go get it for you." Her heart was filled withplexity. That kid, why did he stick out his tongue just now? Does he have the experience of kissing other women? "Okay..." Before long, Wang Shangyan brought out a bottle of iced tea. "Auntie Wang, can I still kiss you in the future?" Wang Shangyan, who was unscrewing the cap of the iced tea, paused her hands in mid-action. This kid seemed to have developed an addiction to kissing her. However, those were her own words, and to say no now would be to contradict herself. "Xiao Yan, in the future, you can asionally kiss Auntie''s face, Auntie likes you and sees you as a son." "But kissing on the lips is not right." "That''s something only couples do, do you understand?" Li Zhiyan nodded. "I understand, Auntie Wang, from now on I''ll only kiss your face." Wang Shangyan stroked Li Zhiyan''s head, finding him more and more likable. This child, he really is obedient. As Li Zhiyan chatted with Wang Shangyan, his reward also arrived. His savings ount had reached 690,000. The goal of bing a millionaire was now within reach. The two of them talked until four-thirty in the afternoon before parting reluctantly. After the military training was over, the three rascals in his dormitory also yed basketball with him for over an hour. It was after seven when Li Zhiyan finally set off to return to Fang Zhiya''s ce. The system issued the tasks quite quickly this time, releasing them while he was on the way. And there were two tasks. "Task 1." "Please spend two hundred thousand to open a milk tea shop near the school." "Once the milk tea shop opens, it will be managed by the system, and you will receive a stable ie of thirty thousand every month." "Task reward, two hundred thousand in cash." Li Zhiyan felt excited. An inte cafe earns thirty thousand a month, and a milk tea shop also thirty thousand a month, and then his annual ie would be seven hundred twenty thousand. If he could own another store like that, he would easily have an annual ie of over a million! Moreover, he could earn this ie without doing anything, and it was opening a shop at zero cost, which was an absolute windfall. "Task 2." "Because Yen Zhengjin is addicted to gambling." "Jiang Xian would like to take him shopping tomorrow, but he refused and went to the arcade to y the fruit machines instead." "Please apany Jiang Xian shopping." "And give her a foot massage." "Task reward, fifty thousand in cash." Li Zhiyan hadn''t expected Yen Zhengjin to be so addicted to gambling that things had gotten this bad. One absolutely mustn''t dabble in gambling; otherwise, no matter how much wealth one has, it can all be lost. Li Zhiyan knew this clearer than anyone; he firmly supported the national policy and refused to have anything to do with gambling or drugs! "Auntie Jiang, you''ve gotten divorced, and I will take good care of you..." ... When he got home, Fang Zhiya heard Li Zhiyan''s return and immediately came up to offer him slippers. She also helped him put them on; her tenderness and attention to detail could be said to be extreme, caring for Li Zhiyan meticulously. "Baby, have you eaten yet, or would you like to eat? Auntie just got off work not long ago and hasn''t cooked yet." "Aunt Fang, I ate a little at school, but I could eat another meal," Li Zhiyan replied. "Okay, baby, Auntie will cook for you," Fang Zhiya said. Standing on tiptoes, she kissed Li Zhiyan''s face, then tied on her apron. She went to the kitchen, washed her hands, cut vegetables, and started cooking. Li Zhiyan originally wanted to chat on QQ, but then he remembered that Fang Zhiya''s rtives mighte over at any time. He couldn''t help but feel a sense of urgency. No, he couldn''t miss this opportunity. He entered the kitchen and hugged Fang Zhiya from behind as she was cutting vegetables in her apron. "Aunt Fang, you look so good in a short skirt..." "And your legs are so white," said Li Zhiyan, and he began to stroke her legs, enjoying the feeling very much. A woman with such traditional values like Fang Zhiya, wearing a short skirt and a low-cut top¡ª She would only dress like that in front of him. "Xiao Yan... don''t, Auntie is cooking," she protested. "Baby, should we go to the sofater?" Li Zhiyan was relentless. "Aunt Fang, have they arrived yet...?" "Not yet, but they should be here soon. Baby, go wait in the living room, Auntie will cook for you," said Fang Zhiya, feeling rather embarrassed. Most of the time she spent with Li Zhiyan made her feel extremely shy. That was because the things Li Zhiyan did were often at odds with her own inner beliefs. Some actions were difficult for a woman with her traditional inner values to ept. After all, in her mind, the kitchen was a ce where she cooked for Li Zhiyan. "Then let''s hurry up. Right now, I don''t want to eat food. I want to eat..." Chapter 140: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian At this moment, Fang Zhiya clearly felt Li Zhiyan''s embrace from behind her. It was so fiery. And she also felt the warmth of Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan..." "Don''t do this... Aunt Fang needs to cook for you." Li Zhiyan had no intention of letting Fang Zhiya go. "Aunt Fang, who knows when your rtives mighte to see you." "We should make the most of our time." With that, Li Zhiyan gently turned Fang Zhiya''s head around and then leaned down to kiss her red lips. "Mmm... " "Xiao Yan..." ... After a long while, Li Zhiyan sat at the dining table, eating the meal Fang Zhiya had prepared. He felt extremely content. Fang Zhiya, her pretty face flushed, kept adding food to Li Zhiyan''s te. "Baby, eat more." "You need to replenish your strength." In Fang Zhiya''s view, Li Zhiyan had been spending a lot of energytely. So he needed to properly nourish his body in order to recover as quickly as possible. Li Zhiyan also ate earnestly, given he now had somewhere to expend what he was replenishing. Although, for the next seven days, there were certain things they couldn''t do. However, there were still other ways, just with a slightly lesser experience. ... After the meal, as Fang Zhiya was washing dishes in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan once again hugged her from behind, which gave Fang Zhiya quite a start. "Xiao Yan..." "Let''s go to the sofa." After finishing thest dish, Fang Zhiya shook the water off her hands and took off her apron. "Alright..." "Later, I want you to feed me on the sofa." Picking up Fang Zhiya in his arms, Li Zhiyan nted a kiss on her and slowly headed towards the living room. ... At night, in the bedroom, Fang Zhiyay on Li Zhiyan''s chest, feeling immensely satisfied and blissful. Looking at the mirror overhead, she made up her mind. In seven days, she definitely wanted to do something for Li Zhiyan. Although many things were hard to ept in her perspective, such as wearing ck silk stockings or looking at the overhead mirror. Nevertheless, Fang Zhiya realized she was growing fonder of the young man by her side. For him, it seemed there was nothing she couldn''t do; she had to try her best. The next day, after Li Zhiyan got up, he also went to the supermarket, bought some brown sugar and ginger, and brewed a sweet soup for Fang Zhiya. Even such a simple gesture moved Fang Zhiya to tears. This made Li Zhiyan even more aware of how much Aunt Fang had beencking affection in the past. ... Just after nine, Li Zhiyan arrived near the school and nned to prepare for his system task. Jiang Xian''s task wasn''t urgent at the moment. What needed to be done now was to get the milk tea shop up and running. The tricky part with the milk tea shop was the business license, but thanks to the policy for college-student entrepreneurship, a lot of trouble could be avoided. Another issue was renting a venue and dealing with fire safety inspections. Indeed, it would take some effort to get everything settled. If the milk tea shop could open in half a month, that would be quite impressive. ording to the system''s prompt, the shop didn''t need to be big; an annual rent of about 170,000 to 180,000 yuan would suffice. As for supplies, purchasing directly from the factory without a franchise would save a considerable amount of money. All in all, it would cost around 200,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan for a monthly ie of 30,000 yuan was a fantastic deal no matter how you looked at it. Following Han Xueying''s request, Li Zhiyan went to the athletic field to watch the military training. Ziang Zexi and his group gathered around again. "Brother Yan, you''re awesome." "Where did you go to have funst night?" Ziang Zexi felt his own romantic exploits were quite legendary, but now he thought,pared with Li Zhiyan, he was nothing at all. After all, the legend of the "great dragon" had already spread throughout the school. "No, just went out to have a bit of fun." The three of them looked at him with envy. "Brother Yan, even Su Mengyue fancies you and you''re not interested, yet you still go out wandering. You live such a carefree life!" At that moment, Su Quanyou noticed that Li Zhiyan seemed to have grown taller. "Brother Yan, do you seem taller to me, or is this some kind of magic?" "Did you grow overnight from ying basketball?" Ziang Zexi and Zhang Zhiyuan also took a serious look and felt the same. "Actually, it''s possible!" Ziang Zexi remembered how he himself grew 10 centimeters within a single month. "With Brother Yan''s rate, he''s going to turn into a heartthrob soon!" They all imagined in their heads: if Li Zhiyan grew to 1.8 meters, his appearance and temperament would indeed move up a notch, coupled with his precocious aplishments, his life was practically on cheat mode. After the assembly whistle sounded, the bunch of charmers finally ran off to their military training. And Li Zhiyan also noticed that Su Mengyue was constantly watching him. Latter on, the counselor Han Xueying also came over to Li Zhiyan. "Li Zhiyan, why do I feel like you''ve gotten taller?" Speaking to Li Zhiyan today, Han Xueying inexplicably felt a bit uneasy. He liked women around 40, and being 39 herself, she was clearly in his preferred age range. So, could she possibly be an object of his affection? Students and counselors aren''t in a teacher-student rtionship. It seemed that she could be together with him. As she pondered, Han Xueying realized her thoughts were bing oddly strange. What was she even thinking about? "Maybe it''s because I''ve been ying basketballtely." Chapter 141: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian_2 "Aunt Han, I want to ask you about something," Han Xueying instinctively tensed up. This kid, he couldn''t be nning to confess his feelings to her, could he? "I want to inquire about entrepreneurship in college. If I were to start a business, would it be easier to get a business license through the school?" Li Zhiyan didn''t have much entrepreneurial experience. He had been reborn just a month ago and had managed to earn a million because of the system. These matters were definitely something Han Xueying would understand, given that Wancheng had always had favorable policies towards college entrepreneurship. "You want to start a business?" This time, Han Xueying was genuinely surprised, even feeling a bit incredulous. In front of her, this kid was actually thinking about starting a business, while other students were busy discussing which girl was pretty or which inte caf¨¦ near the school had betterputers. But Li Zhiyan was already considering entrepreneurship! Thinking about it, Han Xueying felt a sense of wonder. "Yeah, just a small venture; I want to open a milk tea shop on the school''s business street." Han Xueying truly found it incredible. "A milk tea shop? The rent for a spot on that business street is very expensive," "Even a very small storefront could cost fifteen or sixteen thousand a year in rent." Li Zhiyan knew that the current rent wasn''t too high. Just wait, as real estate prices soar, any random storefront couldmand rents in the hundreds of thousands per year. Now was rtively cheap. "Where is your capitaling from? Did your family give it to you?" After learning that Li Zhiyan came from a single-parent family, Han Xueying had always felt pity for him, believing his family''s financial situation must be poor. But now she realized, it seemed not to be the case. Li Zhiyan, at his age thinking about opening a milk tea shop, could only mean one thing¡ªhe was a rich second generation. "No, that''s not it." "Aunt Han, I made some money during the summer break, and it would be a waste to just hold onto it during college, so I thought of opening a milk tea shop as an investment." "After all, money depreciates in value when left idle." Han Xueying looked at Li Zhiyan, always feeling he was not like the average freshman; he knew so much, and he understood that money depreciates over time. And the money to open the milk tea shop, he earned it himself? This means that at the age of 18, he had earned at least two hundred thousand! "Li Zhiyan, are you serious?" "Yeah, Aunt Han, so I want to ask you to help me inquire about the business license, as it might be too troublesome for me to do it myself." Han Xueying''s heart was continuously filled with astonishment. Then, she nodded her head. "Once you rent the storefront, Auntie will handle that for you." "It''s the department head who''s in charge of this matter." "Just need to get it through the department head." Han Xueying couldn''t help but pat Li Zhiyan on the head. Mature women always like talented kids, and Han Xueying was no exception. "Li Zhiyan." "Auntie wants to ask you a question, how did you make your money?" "Ordinary part-time jobs definitely couldn''t earn you a huge sum like several hundred thousand." Li Zhiyan didn''t hide anything, as it wasn''t a secret. To quickly close the gap with Aunt Han, it was essential for her to take a liking to him. "Aunt Han, I''ve been working on French trantion." "And I do someputer programming as well." "I''ve solved quite a few tough problems and managed to make several hundred thousand during the lucky summer." Li Zhiyan''s words left Han Xueying at a loss for words, those hundreds of thousands, he had earned them during one summer! "You speak French?" "Yes, Aunt Han, I self-studied French for some time and got pretty good at it, so I took part-time work doing French trantions." Li Zhiyan could feel increasingly the strength of the system; the skills he learned could actually make so much money. "Could you speak some French to Auntie?" "Sure." Afterward, Li Zhiyan spoke with Han Xueying in French for a while and tranted several things into French for her. This rapidly increased Han Xueying''s favorable impression of Li Zhiyan. "By the way, Li Zhiyan, I still have to advise you not to open a milk tea shop." "There are a bit too many milk tea shops outside the school on the business street." "Basically, they''re everywhere, and most milk tea shops close down within a month." "You could end up losing a lot of money." Li Zhiyan, however, was very confident. "Aunt Han, don''t worry, I''m confident I can make the milk tea shop thrive." Han Xueying looked at the strongly self-assured Li Zhiyan. Her heart grew curious. She didn''t understand where Li Zhiyan''s confidence came from. He was only 18, could he really understand the ins and outs of running a shop? In the following time, Han Xueying kept trying to make Li Zhiyan realize just how difficult it would be to open a milk tea shop on such apetitive business street. Making money wasn''t easy, but Li Zhiyan was persistent, leaving Han Xueying feeling deeply helpless. It seemed the only thing she could think about was how to help reduce Li Zhiyan''s losses afterward. That was the most practical thing to do. As the two chatted, Han Xueying noticed Su Mengyue sneak peeks in their direction from time to time. "Li Zhiyan, have you really not considered Su Mengyue? She''s really beautiful and has a great figure, you know. Countless guys are wildly infatuated with her." Li Zhiyan continued to decline. "Aunt Han, haven''t I told you before? I like women your age, Su Mengyue is too young, shecks a womanly charm." Chapter 142: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian_3 A single sentence had turned Han Xueying''s face red. "I won''t talk to you anymore... After the meeting, you young people go have fun," she said. Han Xueying felt that she really couldn''t discuss the topic of the type of woman Li Zhiyan liked because she always had the illusion that Li Zhiyan liked her. ... "Brother Yan, you really have a good rtionship with the counselor, always standing here and chatting," one of the dorm mates said after arriving, all chugging mineral water. Su Mengyue, as she walked by, covered her face and scurried past, that springtime-of-youth look on her face making Zhang Zhiyuan''s heart ache unbearably. She was the goddess he adored, yet the goddess only liked Li Zhiyan, and there was nothing he could do about it. "We were just talking about study-rted stuff, nothing else," Li Zhiyan replied. "Let''s go eat," someone suggested. Ziang Zexi said with a smile, "Brother Yan, I got an arcade machine in the dorm, one of those all-in-one types." "Let''s battle a few rounds of King of Fighters when we get back," he added. "Sure." After lunch, Li Zhiyan beat each of them soundly one by one. All three of them found it uninteresting. "Damn, Brother Yan is too strong, and this Iori Yagami and Orochi have infinitebos, what''s the point in ying!" one of themined. In the midst of their admiration, Li Zhiyan climbed into bed. He thought of Wang Shangyan... Wondering what Wang Shangyan was doing at this moment, after having tasted Auntie Wang''s lipsst time. Li Zhiyan found himself unable to stop thinking about her. She might be fierce, but she wasn''t fierce towards him, and she really did smell nice, with really soft lips. If something could happen with Auntie Wang... Then he could visit Auntie Wang at the supermarket whenever there was nothing to do at school; after all, there was a small room there where one could rest. The rooftop of Yifu Building with a lock he brought also seemed like a good ce to enjoy the scenery. Lost in thought, he decided to ask Wang Shangyan to apany him when it came time to rent a ce, which could help him avoid pitfalls. After all, with her years of business experience, she was certainly knowledgeable. Then, he sent Wang Shangyan a message on QQ. "Auntie Wang, are you taking a nap?" he inquired. At this moment, Wang Shangyan was lying in the bedroom, the air conditioner blowing above her. On the lounge chair, her long, white legs were incredibly enticing. After parting unhappily with Lew Huan due to her intimate moments with Li Zhiyan not long ago... She had returned home and had had yet another argument with Lew Huan, and the two of them were not speaking to each other at the moment. Just as she was about to take a nap, she saw Li Zhiyan''s message. Wang Shangyan: "What''s up, Xiao Yan." Li Zhiyan: "Are you at school? I n to go rent a shop this afternoon. I don''t have much experience with this kind of thing, so I was hoping you coulde with me." At this moment, Wang Shangyan felt needed. She really liked this kid deep down, the feeling was like facing her own son. Wang Shangyan: "Okay, should we head out now?" Li Zhiyan: "Wait a bit, Auntie Wang, let''s go at three in the afternoon." Wang Shangyan: "Alright." Li Zhiyan typed quickly; while chatting with Wang Shangyan, he was also talking to Su Mengchen. Wang Shangyan looked at the messages that Li Zhiyan kept sending over. Her pretty face was full of a gentle smile. At that moment, Lew Huan pushed the door open and entered, holding a te of strawberries in his hands. Now he had woken up from his post-quarrel stupor. He seemed to have been too impulsive, indeed, as Li Meifeng had said, Li Zhiyan was just a kid, an entire 22 years younger than his wife. His wife was in college when he was just born, just a kid. Quarreling with him, others wouldugh at him, treating it as a joke. It was just hand-holding after all. If he hadn''t been impulsive, how could he have seen Wang Shangyan kissing him? He knew well enough that his wife was not that kind of person, and couldn''t possibly open a room with Li Zhiyan. Now, because of his previous impulsivity, he had fallen out with his wife. Thinking about it, Lew Huan regretted it deeply, worried that the remarriage was now an indefinite prospect. He had to behave himself and remarry first. Then he could go after Rao Shi Yun. "Wife, have some strawberries," he offered. "I was wrong about Li Zhiyan," he admitted. "He''s just a kid; I shouldn''t have been jealous of him." "Can we finalize our remarriage in the next few days?" he proposed. Lew Huan''s heart was still set on remarriage. When Wang Shangyan was his wife before, he felt repulsed. But after such a long period without contact, he slowly realized... ...his wife was an extremely beautiful woman, not at all inferior to Rao Shi Yun, except for not having as grand and exaggerated a bust. Anyway, he had to get the remarriage settled first. Other matters could wait. "Just leave the strawberries there, I''ll consider it," she said. "We can remarry soon." Even though Wang Shangyan was angry, after all, she and Lew Huan had lived together for so many years. It was impossible to say there were no feelings at all; remarriage was just a matter of time. "Ah, great!" Lew Huan eximed, visibly overjoyed. "But there''s one thing we need to agree on beforehand: when I hold hands with that kid in the future, you are not allowed to have an opinion. Your mind is too dirty," she stated. "Li Zhiyan is just an 18-year-old kid, he doesn''t understand those things between men and women." "You make it sound so disgusting," she reprimanded. "Even if he kisses my face, it''s just the affection between an elder and a younger one." "He''s still just a child," she insisted. Lew Huan felt an indescribable difort, but he still nodded in agreement. Chapter 143: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian_4 Anyway, holding hands is fine; just make sure he doesn''t get his wife pregnant. For now, the most important thing is the matter of remarriage. All other matters will have to be postponed. "Don''t worry, honey, I''ll never say another word about this kind of thing in the future." Once we''re remarried, I''ll find a way to whisper into my wife''s ear and make herpletely sever ties with Li Zhiyan, that annoying brat. After all, nothing is more destructive than the influence from the person beside your pillow. Looking at Wang Shangyan''s impressive bust and her fair, beautiful legs, her charming face, and her well-styled curly hair, Lew Huan felt he was good enough. "Honey..." "How about we get some exercise, eh?" "I''ve forgotten how long it''s been since we were intimate." "Ever since you sent me to the hospital, I''ve been taking tonics every day." "I feel like I''ve stored up all the stuff I''ve been taking." "If we don''t get some proper exercise soon, I''ll probably fall sick." Hearing Lew Huan''s words, Wang Shangyan couldn''t help but feel a stir of emotion. After all, she is a normal woman, and a 40-year-old at that. At this age, she had a strong need for certain things. However, the thought of Lew Huan''s affair made her feel sick to her stomach. Seeing Lew Huan attempting toy his hands on her, Wang Shangyan immediately stopped him in his tracks. "No..." "Let''s consider that matter after we remarry." Wang Shangyan called a halt, and Lew Huan didn''t dare to move forward; he was well aware of the temper of his not-yet-remarried wife. He had just been discharged from a long hospital stay due to her doing. If he now rashly touched or kissed her, he feared he might end up in the hospital again. "Honey, could you maybe think about it a little faster? I''m kind of in a hurry." Wang Shangyan ignored him and went to the dressing table to start her makeup and dressing. Since she was going out shopping with her favorite junior, naturally, she wanted to look her best. All dolled up, the kid would be happy to see her, and that would lift her mood too. "I won''t consider it. If we''re not remarried, men and women should not be too intimate, understand?" "We are currently single and just living together temporarily." "I''m going to change clothes in a bit, so you should leave." Wang Shangyan genuinely didn''t want to show Lew Huan anything; every time she recalled his affair and his tant lust for Rao Shi Yun, the feeling of disgust lingered in her heart. "Why go out in such hot weather?" "You''ll sweat through your clothes, and your makeup will be ruined." Lew Huan began to worry. Was his wife going out on a date? But he hadn''t noticed any signs of her having an affair. Right, who was she chatting with so happily on QQ just now? Her demeanor was just like that of a girl deeply in love. Thinking this, Lew Huan hurriedly asked, "Honey, what are you up to? Are you going on a date with someone?" "We''ve agreed to remarry; you can''t do such a thing." Wang Shangyan didn''t look at him. "I''m going shopping with Li Zhiyan, to help him with some things." Lew Huan felt even worse. He had always wanted to win over Rao Shi Yun. But now it seemed possible that Li Zhiyan was trying to steal his home base. Though he was just a kid, he was capable of getting his ex-wife pregnant six or seven times in a single night. He didn''t doubt the strength of an eighteen-year-old for a second. "Let me go with you." Wang Shangyan didn''t respond to him. She just gave him a cold nce. Instantly, Lew Huan understood Wang Shangyan''s implication; if he continued, it would surely lead to an argument. It wasn''t easy for his wife to even consider remarriage. Raising objections now would be like asking for a fight. At this critical moment for reconciliation, harmony was the best policy. "Then you two go have fun, I''m going to sleep." ... In the dormitory, Li Zhiyan wasn''t tired at all. Ever since the system granted him the one against five skill, his physical condition had truly improved to another level. While chatting with Su Mengchen, he also browsed forums during his free time. Online forums were the undeniable kings of inte traffic at the moment. Li Zhiyan, having nothing better to do, read through quite a few repair-rted posts. In this era, it was still possible to make posts about "fixing a car". One forum user posted about being trapped while repairing a car and sought advice from fellow forum members on what to do, generating numerous sarcasticments. "No live stream for car fixing, trouble finds the forum bros." These remarks were characteristic of the decade; as short video tforms like WeChat rose to prominence, they gradually faded away. The next few years would be a period of rapid inte development. So Li Zhiyan found browsing through these posts quite interesting. ... Meanwhile, Jiang Xian, who had changed into her clothes in the master bedroom, felt a bit lonely. She wanted to go shopping. Recently, she always felt her life was empty and lonely, as if missing too many things. Already prone to craving love, she now felt a surge of hormones. Why not apany her husband on a shopping trip today, then urge him for a romantic candlelit dinner? Tonight, she would fully indulge in the feeling of being a woman. A 41-year-old woman was in desperate need of the nourishment of love. Jiang Xian felt she hadn''t been nourished by love for too long, and today was the day. Dressed to the nines and with a bright red lipstick applied, Jiang Xian headed for Yen Zhengjin''s room. "Husband." "Thepensation and the house from the demolition have been deposited. My share just came in, what about yours?" Chapter 144: 092 Aunt Fang feeding Li Zhiyan in the living room, the forlorn Jiang Xian_5 The assets were divided equally when the two people divorced. So, Jiang Xian had quite a bit of money in her hands as well, but neither of them took the matter of the assets to heart. Because the n was to get divorced, secure the demolitionpensation first, get an extra house, and then remarry a few monthster. However, their marital rtionship had indeed ended now. "I also received it in my ount," Yen Zhengjin looked somewhat haggard, the electronic gaming website still wasn''t open. And after he tried ying on some other websites and found out he couldn''t cash out, he was even more certain that the previous one was legitimate. So,tely, Yen Zhengjin often yed slot machines, Animal World, as well as fishing games at the gaming hall. Sometimes he lost, and sometimes he did win a little, but overall, He had lost a total of twenty thousand yuan during this period. Now, with online not open, he could only go to the gaming hall to y those electronic games. His heart waspletely upied by the slot machines and Animal World. In his dreams, he would dream of trains moving and hitting the jackpot. As for his beautiful ex-wife, he had absolutely no interest in her at all. It''s not because Jiang Xian wasn''t pretty, but purely because he often snuck off to the gaming hall to y slot machineste at night. His already frail body was now at its weakest point. Some things were simply beyond his ability now, even if he had the will. "That''s good..." "Husband, let''s go shopping in the evening," "It''s been a very long time since we went shopping together." "I want to have a candlelit dinner with you." "How about we book a room outside tonight, okay?" "We can try, maybe we''ll be able to add a second treasure to our family." At that moment, Yen Zhengjin''s face changed. Now, he really couldn''t handle it, to spend energy on those boring activities. It would be better to spend the night running a few rounds of Animal World; maybe if he hit the jackpot, He could win the boss''s entire wealth. Lately, Yen Zhengjin was starting to believe more and more that one could win money from gambling. "No, I''m pretty busy with work. Wife, can you help me check if any students are at the inte cafes? Go through the dozens of inte cafes nearby, it would be a huge help." Yen Zhengjin hurriedly dispatched Jiang Xian to look for people at the inte cafes. He couldn''t dare to engage in those activities anymore. Jiang Xian felt aggrieved in her heart; at the age of 41, she was at an age that yearned for the nourishment of love, but her husband was always dodging her. Feeling somewhat angry, she stormed back to the master bedroom in her high heels and shut the door. What''s the use of maintaining a good figure and wless white skin? Her husband was nothing like a man, was this how her life was going to end? Thinking about it, Jiang Xian felt a wave of sadness deep in her heart. But still, she was prepared. Next, she would help her husband to go see if any students were using the inte. On the other hand, Yen Zhengjin sighed, but soon enough, his heart waspletely upied by the slot machines. Today he nned to bet on double sevens, lotives, watermelons, and red bells the entire time, At that thought, he no longer hesitated and immediately headed downstairs. "Wife, don''t forget to look for the students," "I''m off to work." Even though she felt very sad and distressed, Jiang Xian also knew, Life had to go on, and she still had to look for the students. "Xiao Yan..." For some reason, when thinking about going to the inte cafe, Jiang Xian always thought of Brotherhood Inte Cafe; when Li Zhiyan was there, every time she went to look for students, she could chat with him. That kid regarded her like a mother in his heart; thinking about it made her feel truly happy. It''s a pity... That kid had gone off to university and might onlye back once in a long while; it wasn''t easy for her to see him, and she could only chat with him on QQ now. "It would be nice if I could run into Li Zhiyan this afternoon and talk to him, but there are no such coincidences in this world." ... At 3:20 in the afternoon, under a willow tree at the school gate, Li Zhiyan saw Wang Shangyan wearing a ck pleated skirt and a white button-up shirt. Beneath the short skirt, those fair and slender legs were particrly eye-catching. Auntie Wang looked really beautiful and young. In terms of looks, she was no less beautiful than Auntie Rao or Aunt Gu. "Auntie Wang!" Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gave Wang Shangyan a big hug. In the thin clothes of summer, this embrace was basically zero-distance contact. And Li Zhiyan''s legs were tightly pressed against Wang Shangyan''s beautiful legs. If he didn''t feel that Wang Shangyan had a fondness for him and was somewhat indulgent, Li Zhiyan wouldn''t have dared to do this. "You kid..." Wang Shangyan said indulgently as she stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. "Auntie Wang, may I kiss your cheek? I''ve missed you so much." Chapter 145: Mrs. 093 got divorced; helped her massage her jade-like feet. Wang Shangyan didn''t expect that Li Zhiyan had juste over. Not only did he give her a tight hug. She could feel the warmth of his body and his intimidating presence. The kid even wanted to kiss her. But she had told him before that kissing on the cheek was okay. Now she couldn''t go back on her word... "Okay..." "Auntie will let you kiss her." After Wang Shangyan spoke, Li Zhiyan immediately kissed her pretty face. Auntie Wang''s face was very stic, and it smelled nice. Li Zhiyan thought that Lew Huan was really very greedy, having such a beautiful wife like Auntie Wang, yet still aiming to take down Auntie Rao. In the end, he ended up divorced. It can be said that all this was his own fault. After kissing Wang Shangyan, Li Zhiyan reluctantly parted from Auntie Wang. Wang Shangyan''s magnanimity was truly great. "Auntie Wang, let''s go to themercial street." Li Zhiyan naturally took Wang Shangyan''s jade-like hand, and the smooth sensation. Seemed to have dispelled much of the summer heat, and he was very willing to continue walking with Auntie Wang''s hand in his like this. Until they reached themercial street and saw the bustling scene. Li Zhiyan said with some emotion, "It''s a pity, Auntie Wang, thismercial street is so close to the nearby colleges. If there wasn''t thismercial street, your supermarket would indeed bepletely valuable." Once their hands parted, Wang Shangyan gently swept her hair behind her ears. The image looked somewhat enchanting. It made Li Zhiyan find it hard to look away. "If that were the case, Auntie wouldn''t have been able to get the supermarket agent rights at all." "Four million a year might not even be enough." As they walked, Li Zhiyan saw a rather small shop that was up for rent. This was the system''s best suggested choice for renting a ce. "Auntie Wang, this is the ce." At this moment, worries had already begun to surface in Wang Shangyan''s heart. "Xiao Yan, have you done any market research before deciding to open a milk tea shop here?" "There are really too many milk tea shops in this area." "To say, if you run a milk tea shop here, you basically have no profit margin. If I''m not mistaken, this ce used to be a milk tea shop and just went out of business recently." Li Zhiyan had also noticed this. "Auntie Wang, please help me rent this ce." "I''ll treat you to a meal some other day." Wang Shangyan asked apprehensively. "Xiao Yan, do you really want to rent this ce?" "Auntie Wang, don''t worry, I have a way to make the milk tea shop sessful." All this stemmed from the miraculous system; he just had to be hands-off and wait for the money toe in... "Okay, then Auntie will help you contact them." Wang Shangyan was very clear, the kid in front of her was no simple character; he managed to turn the dying Brotherhood Inte Cafe into a bustling business. Perhaps this kid really had such magical abilities. In the following time, Wang Shangyan talked with thendlord on the phone for quite a while, managing to reduce the rent from 150,000 to 140,000. Clearly, Wang Shangyan, who had been in business for so long, was much more professional than Li Zhiyan. Afterward, Li Zhiyan signed a contract with thendlord. Now the shop came into his possession. Because it had been renovated before and could continue to be used, he actually saved a bit of money. And because thendlord still nned to open a milk tea shop with that license. It was not possible to transfer it to Li Zhiyan. This situation was somewhat different from the Brotherhood Inte Cafe''s owner who had switched careers, but Li Zhiyan didn''t mind. Anyway, Teacher Han had already taken care of the business license issue for him. After renting the ce, Li Zhiyan''s savings were reduced to 550,000, which caused him some pain, but fortunately, when the milk tea shop officially opened, He could still receive a reward of 200,000. Sitting in the shop, Li Zhiyan said casually, "Auntie Wang, thank you so much, otherwise I probably would have spent unnecessary money." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan hugged Wang Shangyan sitting before him. And his handnded on Wang Shangyan''s thigh. Auntie Wang''s thigh was also very stic. As Li Zhiyan''s hand touched her thigh, Wang Shangyan subconsciously felt a bit hot and bothered. Her hormones were racing. For a 40-year-old woman, the need for love was really very strong, especially since the kid was so mature for his age, and hugging her made her heart race even faster. "Xiao Yan, are you thinking of making this milk tea shop a franchise?" "Mixue Ice City seems to be doing well; I have friends who run franchises." Li Zhiyan dismissed the idea of franchising. He let go of Wang Shangyan; he didn''t dare to overstep, continuing to touch her leg might repel Auntie Wang. The memory of her violent side was still fresh in Li Zhiyan''s mind. She was only so gentle with him because she had a favorable impression of him. Touching her leg to feel the sticity of Auntie Wang''s beautiful legs was enough. "Never mind, Auntie Wang, franchises hardly make any money; even if you make money, most of it is taken away by the franchise headquarter." Li Zhiyan knew that running a franchise was no easy task. You took the risk, but the profits went to the headquarters. "Then Auntie can help you contact a raw material factory for milk tea; I have a friend who does that and can give you a bit of a discount." "Once your business license is processed," "You can open for business. Auntie is quite looking forward to seeing what level you can take this milk tea shop to." Chapter 146: 093 Masters wife got divorced, help her massage her jade feet_2 Wang Shangyan''s beautiful eyes carried a hint of curiosity. "Thank you, Auntie Wang, without you, I really would have had a lot of trouble." "Anyway, don''t say thank you, just take auntie out for a good meal when you''re free. I''m not picky; I can eat anything." Li Zhiyan nced toward the grilled sausage stall opposite and seemed to think of something. "Auntie Wang, actually I should have taken you out for dinner tonight, but I have some things to do now, so I need to leave first." "So I can''t keep youpany, but I will definitely thank you properlyter on." Wang Shangyan nodded; she couldn''t see through all the secrets that Li Zhiyan had hidden within him. She only knew that this kid was a genius. "It''s fine, Xiao Yan. Auntie will be often at the school''s supermarket." "When you''re free, you can message me, and if I''m around, you cane and hang out with me." All of Wang Shangyan''s words and expressions were filled with affection for Li Zhiyan. For many years, she had never felt such a liking for a young person before. After locking the door, Li Zhiyan put the key in his pocket. He gave Wang Shangyan a big hug before hailing a taxi and leaving. Watching the taxi''s silhouette, Wang Shangyan''s pretty face flushed. With each hug, she could feel this child''s greatness, truly a genius wherever he went. If... After some odd thoughts arose in her mind, Wang Shangyan cursed herself for being shameless. Li Zhiyan was just an 18-year-old kid, and there she was, thinking all sorts of strange thoughts. Pregnant... She really was a shameless woman. Yet, the scene where she had kissed Li Zhiyan''s lips, and he had flicked his tongue out, continued to surge in Wang Shangyan''s heart. ... After taking a taxi back to Brotherhood Inte Cafe, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of familiarity upon logging into hisputer; after all, it was his turf. Unfortunately, his buddies were suffering through military training, so he could only y by himself for a while. Following the system''s prompts, Auntie Jiang should be arriving soon. Jiang Xian was already divorced from Yen Zhengjin. So she was just an ordinary elder to him now, and addressing her as Auntie Jiang was most appropriate. After signing into QQ, Li Zhiyan continued to chat with Su Mengchen and others. At the same time, he was also asking about the date with Gu Wanzhou. Li Zhiyan, "Wanzhou, when are we going out for our date?" Gu Wanzhou, "Auntie is very busy right now, so I don''t have time for a date. You just wait, when auntie is free, she will contact you." Li Zhiyan understood Gu Wanzhou''s thoughts; she still wanted to use an adult''s way of giving the cold treatment, to try to douse his enthusiasm. And to let the matter pass quietly. However, Li Zhiyan wasn''t in a hurry, with the system on his side, there would definitely be a chance to meet Aunt Gu. Sure enough, before long, the sound of high heels clicked. Li Zhiyan exited the game and looked up to see his teacher''s wife''s lovely face appearing in his line of sight. "Teacher''s wife." Li Zhiyan''s voice was filled with longing, a sincere longing. "Xiao Yan!" "Why are you here? Shouldn''t you be at the university now?" Although not far, it was clear that Li Zhiyan shouldn''t be at Brotherhood Inte Cafe at this time. "Teacher''s wife, because of some things, I don''t have to do military training, so since I was free today, I came over here." "After all, it''s my inte cafe, so I came to have a look." "I didn''t expect such a coincidence, for us to meet just like this." "Teacher''s wife, we really are fated." Seeing Li Zhiyan, the restlessness and irritation in Jiang Xian''s heart due to loneliness instantly vanished. Jiang Xian really liked the feeling of meeting Li Zhiyan. "Yes, Xiao Yan, we are really fated." "Teacher''s wife, you''re here to look for students, right? Let me help you look for them." Li Zhiyan rose to his feet, apanying Jiang Xian as they looked around for students while chatting. "Teacher''s wife, today when I came here, I was thinking whether you woulde to check on the inte cafe. I didn''t expect you really would." "I missed you a lot." Thinking that she was now divorced from Yen Zhengjin, Jiang Xian said, "Xiao Yan, you don''t have to call me teacher''s wife anymore. Auntie is divorced now." "So from now on, just calling me auntie is fine." Thinking that Jiang Xian and that brute Yen Zhengjin were divorced, Li Zhiyan also felt a refreshing relief. It was for the best. After looking around the inte cafe and not finding any students, Li Zhiyan walked Jiang Xian out of the cafe. As they passed by hisputer, he locked it to prevent others from messing with his game, and conveniently signed off from QQ as well. "Xiao Yan, you''re really impressive. Auntie thought that although your inte cafe was doing well, the business would drop off after school started, but to my surprise, while the business in other cafes is declining, yours is still booming every day." Jiang Xian looked at Li Zhiyan beside her, her eyes filled with admiration. Some people are older, but their talents are very limited. Yet Li Zhiyan was young, but his talents were vast. Being able to manage a run-down inte cafe to its current sess was truly not something just anyone could do. "Auntie Jiang, it''s just good luck," Li Zhiyan replied. At that moment, several passersby were discussing something about Wanda za. "I heard there''s a kissingpetition happening at Wanda za." Chapter 147: 093 Masters wife got divorced, help her massage her jade feet_3 "Thepetition starts at eight in the evening." "The prize is pretty good." What, there''s such apetition? At this moment, Li Zhiyan was also intrigued. But today, he didn''t have anyone by his side to apany him to thispetition. If only Aunt Fang were here. Looking at Jiang Xian beside him, Li Zhiyan suddenly had an idea. To not take a prize that''s up for grabs seems a bit foolish, doesn''t it? "Auntie Jiang, I feel like your mood isn''t very good." "Did something happen?" Jiang Xian didn''t expect that her unhappiness would be noticed by Li Zhiyan. "Indeed, I''ve been feeling a bit down." "Some things have happened recently." "I wanted to go shopping, but Yen Zhengjin wouldn''t apany me." Jiang Xian mentioned only shopping, as for what happened after shopping, she didn''t speak a word of it. Talking about such things with a child... "Then, Auntie Jiang, I''ll apany you shopping. I''m not busy right now anyway. Let''s go together." Jiang Xian was clearly very surprised and delighted. Li Zhiyan was willing to go shopping with her? As for the remaining cyber caf¨¦, Jiang Xian no longer wanted to look for it right then. "Xiao Yan, are you willing to apany Auntie on a shopping trip?" "Won''t you find shopping boring?" Most men would not want to engage in such a tedious and boring activity. Therefore, in Jiang Xian''s subconscious, she thought that Li Zhiyan would definitely not be interested in such a matter. "Shopping can indeed be boring, but Auntie Jiang, the key point is whom you''re shopping with." "Because it''s with you, I find any boring thing to be very interesting." "I cherish this meeting with you very much." Jiang Xian was moved in her heart, Yen Zhengjin wasn''t as patient with her as Li Zhiyan was. "Alright, then let''s go shopping together." The two of them walked side by side to the bustling Hongxing Street nearby. Jiang Xian''s first stop was the women''s clothing store. "Xiao Yan, how do you like this white dress?" "I think it''s pretty. You should try it on." Jiang Xian was wearing a ck body-con skirt. White might produce a different effect. "Okay, then Auntie will try it on." When Jiang Xian came out of the fitting room, Li Zhiyan''s gaze remained focused on Jiang Xian''s beautiful legs. Auntie Jiang wearing a body-con skirt and Aunt Gu each had their own beauty. "Does it look good..." Before Li Zhiyan finished speaking, the shop owner, who had been attending to someone else, started her ttery skill. "Of course, it looks good on you when your son looks at it, but anybody would find you beautiful in this dress, just like a fairy descending to earth!" Clearly, the shop owner had mistaken Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian for mother and son. That was understandable, after all, there was a full 23-year age gap between the two. "Ma''am, she''s not my mom, she''s my aunt." "Auntie Jiang, I think you should try on this pleated skirt; pleated skirts should suit you too." After Li Zhiyan said this, Jiang Xian''s expression became much more serious. Since Xiao Yan likes it, then she would wear it for him to see. Having taken the ck pleated skirt, Jiang Xian went to the fitting room. When she came out again, Li Zhiyan still couldn''t take his eyes off her. Auntie Jiang''s legs were just too white and beautiful. "Does it look good..." "It looks good, Auntie Jiang, I think this pleated skirt suits you very well." Jiang Xian decided to buy it immediately. "Xiao Yan, what about this shirt?" Looking at the slim-fitting button-up shirt, Li Zhiyan shook his head. "Doesn''t it look good?" "It''s not that, Auntie Jiang looks good in anything, but the shirt is too slim; I don''t think you would be able to button it up." The aunties around Li Zhiyan at least had a 36D bust. This kind of shirt clearly wouldn''t fit Auntie Jiang. Jiang Xian''s pretty face blushed slightly, it felt strange to have an 18-year-old talk about such matters. "Then Auntie will try thisrger one." She picked out arger ck button-up shirt. When Jiang Xian emerged from the fitting room, Li Zhiyan''s gaze continued to linger on her. This made Jiang Xian feel a bit shy; she always felt that Li Zhiyan''s gaze wasn''t like that of a junior looking at a senior. It was more like the way a man looks at a woman. In a daze, Jiang Xian realized that she had thought of Li Zhiyan as a child. But in fact, that wasn''t the case at all; Li Zhiyan was already able to impregnate her. "Xiao Yan, does it look good?" "It looks good..." "After all, Auntie Jiang looks good in anything." After choosing a few pieces of clothing, Jiang Xian bought all the ones Li Zhiyan liked. Then, the two of them continued shopping. As they walked, Jiang Xian started to feel tired. Wearing high heels for a long time can be exhausting, amon plight for women. "Auntie Jiang, are your feet hurting?" Li Zhiyan felt it was time to fulfill his duty during the mission, and it was time to show filial respect to Auntie Jiang. After all, Auntie Jiang had always treated him well. "Yes, a bit." The two of them were carrying several bags, and the sky was already getting dark. "Then, Auntie Jiang, let me massage your ankle. I''ve studied traditional Chinese medicine." "I can help alleviate the pain." Jiang Xian didn''t think too much and agreed. "Auntie Jiang, let''s go over there under the tree. You can sit on the steps, and I will massage your ankle." The two went under the tree, and Jiang Xian sat on the steps. She ced all herrge and small bags on the ground, and Li Zhiyan did the same, putting down his hefty bags too. Chapter 148: 093 Masters wife got divorced, help her massage her jade feet_4 "Auntie Jiang, please take off your high heels." Li Zhiyan sat opposite Jiang Xian, seating himself on the floor, a bit lower than Jiang Xian. That reminded Jiang Xian of something, but he was just a child, and she shouldn''t entertain such strange thoughts. Immediately after, she took off both of her high heels, one after the other. Her pair of snow-white jade feet were now fully exposed to Li Zhiyan. Auntie Jiang''s feet are really pretty. Perhaps it was because her skin was much fairer than the average woman''s. Thus, Jiang Xian''s jade feet were also extremely fair. Li Zhiyan gently grabbed Jiang Xian''s left foot and lifted it. "Auntie Jiang, your feet are as beautiful as your legs." Jiang Xian''s pretty face blushed slightly. Indeed it was so, she also knew that her feet were really white and tender. "Auntie Jiang, I''m going to start the massage now, please bear with me." Li Zhiyan activated his massage skill. In the moment the skill was activated, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but let out a veryfortable moan. "Mmm... Honey, don''t rush..." It was only in her daze that she realized she wasn''t at home. She was outside, currently sitting on the steps, while Li Zhiyan was massaging her. The blush on her pretty face spread rapidly, and Jiang Xian also realized what she was doing. "Xiao Yan, I''m sorry..." "It''s okay, Auntie Jiang, you''re probably just tired." As he said this, Li Zhiyan took hold of Jiang Xian''s other foot, positioning her so that she waspletely facing towards him. Jiang Xian tightly pressed her beautiful legs together and closed her eyes. Without a word, but from the look on her face, it was obvious she was veryfortable. Li Zhiyan''s massage technique was indeed very professional. Half an hourter, Li Zhiyan put down Jiang Xian''s beautiful legs. "Auntie Jiang, does it still hurt?" Jiang Xian slowly slipped on her high heels and gently massaged her own ankles. She felt it was quite miraculous. "It doesn''t hurt anymore, Xiao Yan, how do I feel like you can perform magic?" "Your hands moved back and forth massaging me, and suddenly the pain just disappeared." Li Zhiyan understood more and more why the system had given him this skill first. The proper way to interact with aunties always started with a massage. "Auntie Jiang, this is Chinese medicine, although it seems I massage quite casually, there''s actually a lot of technique involved." At that moment, the task reward of fifty thousand yuan was credited to his ount. Li Zhiyan''s savings returned to six hundred thousand, which made the sting of loss much less. Once the two hundred thousand yuan reward for the milk tea shop opening was credited, he really wouldn''t be far from being a millionaire. By then he could buy a new house for his mother. This was Li Zhiyan''s biggest wish, to make his mother feel secure. All this time, the tasks he had been doing, like touching legs and the like, he truly, truly had no interest in at all. It was all just to get his mother a new house sooner. Jiang Xian nodded earnestly, knowing that Li Zhiyan must have practiced for many years to have such ability now. His massage was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface. "Mmm..." "Xiao Yan, after shopping for so long today,e over to Auntie''s ce. I''ll cook for you." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan immediately declined. He really didn''t have just a bit of dislike for Yen Zhengjin. "Better not..." "Auntie Jiang, there are some things I don''t say, but you should be aware of them." After Li Zhiyan said this, Jiang Xian then reacted. Her own thoughts were indeed too careless... Strictly speaking, Li Zhiyan and her former husband were enemies. Yen Zhengjin had given Li Zhiyan no small amount of trouble before, just because Li Zhiyan''s family was poor and couldn''t afford to give him gifts. Inviting him to her home was clearly inappropriate. "All right then..." "Let''s eat out then, Auntie will treat you to a meal." "What would you like to eat?" Li Zhiyan picked up several shopping bags. Smiling, he said, "Auntie Jiang, I won''t be polite then, I''d like to eat hot pot at Wanda za." "The hot pot on the fourth floor there is really good." Li Zhiyan''s main goal was actually to check out what the kissing contest was all about... Suchpetitions had only been seen by him online. Very liberal foreign countries often hold these kinds of contests, Li Zhiyan even suspected they had held pregnancy contests, just without broadcasting them. But in China, such events were really quite rare. "Wanda za, sure, it''s not far from here, Auntie will take you for hot pot." The two of them,den with bags, arrived at Wanda za. The ce they were at before wasn''t very crowded, but after arriving at Wanda, the crowd suddenly became much denser. Seeing so many people didn''t feel like the outskirts, andpared to some deste ces they had passed by earlier, it had a distinct sense of disconnection. "The kissing contest is underway!" "Everyone hurry up and sign up!" "It starts in ten minutes!" "The first ce in the kissing contest will receive a thousand yuan in cash!" "Plus a five hundred yuan meal voucher valid in any restaurant within Wanda za." "Second ce gets five hundred yuan in cash and a meal voucher." "Third ce will receive a meal voucher." "The remaining participants will also receive a small gift!" For Jiang Xian, such a contest was uneptable. She felt that kissing was something that should be done in private. Chapter 149: 093 Masters wife got divorced, help her massage her jade feet_5 ``` But isn''t this kind of kissing contest just kissing in front of an audience for others to watch? Jiang Xian felt somewhat ufortable with this idea. "Auntie Jiang, let''s go watch the kissing contest," "I think it must be very interesting." Li Zhiyan''s face was full of excitement, showing his great interest in such apetition. "What''s there to see in apetition like that..." The blush that had just faded from Jiang Xian''s pretty face started to gather again. Why are there such outrageous contests in this world? "Auntie Jiang, let''s just go have a look." "You''re an adult now, you understand everything." "I haven''t even been kissed yet." "I want to see it." Looking at Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian also felt that he was somewhat pitiable, truly innocent like a nk wall. What Li Zhiyan said was indeed the truth; he really hadn''t been kissed that day. Men, they wake up each day as a new first time. "Alright, we''ll watch for a little while, and then we must hurry to have dinner." "Otherwise, we''ll really be past mealtime." The two of them stood in a corner. Wanda za was so crowded that day. Clearly rted to the kissing contest. On the stage, many couples had already gathered, and at that moment, a young couple couldn''t restrain themselves and began to rehearse in advance. They started kissing right there on the stage. As the two of them began kissing, the surrounding contestants and the narrating audience erupted into thunderous cheers. This sort ofpetition really could stir emotions. "Auntie Jiang, do they have to use their tongues when they kiss?" Li Zhiyan watched the couple''s physiological activity seriously, while asking Jiang Xian. "Maybe... guess so..." Jiang Xian, usually soposed, sounded obviously ufortable now. If she had known earlier, she would not havee to Wanda za. Caught in such an embarrassing event, Xiao Yan asking about kissing was indeed very strange. "Then, Auntie Jiang, what does kissing feel like?" Li Zhiyan continued to inquire. "That... I''m not quite sure," Jiang Xian''s face began to heat up as she watched the two people kissing on the stage, just over a dozen centimeters tall. Suddenly, she felt somewhat hot herself, her hormones seemingly coursing more quickly. A 41-year-old woman is at her peak of hormonal surge. This coincided with the 18-year-old Li Zhiyan, who also felt somewhat hot at the moment. He wanted to go back and find Aunt Fang to help him with something. "I think kissing must feel really good." "Otherwise, these couples wouldn''t be so enthusiastic." She touched her hot face. Jiang Xian looked at Li Zhiyan and said, "Xiao Yan, you''re still a kid, don''t think about these messy things, it''s not good for your growth." "Auntie Jiang, I''m an adult now, I''m 18 and a half." Jiang Xian felt that Li Zhiyan was right, to her 41-year-old eyes, he was a child, but he was indeed an adult already. If he were uninterested in things like kissing, that would actually mean there was a problem with his physiology and he would need to see a doctor, but now, he was normal. "Then Xiao Yan should find a girlfriend in university," "so you can try and see what kissing feels like." Li Zhiyan seemed somewhat disheartened as he said, "Auntie Jiang, I''m too ordinary, no girl likes me." Jiang Xian looked at Li Zhiyan with a tender heart, his height around one meter seventy¡ªa refined appearance. Indeed quite ordinary, she reached out her hand and patted Li Zhiyan on the head. Li Zhiyan realized that aunts all seemed to like patting his head, like they really treated him as a child. "Don''t worry Xiao Yan, there will definitely be girls who like Xiao Yan in the future," "and they will be young and pretty girls, liking Xiao Yan." Li Zhiyan then asked, "Auntie Jiang, do you like me?" "Of course, I like you," Jiang Xian said without hesitation, and then she added, "I''ve always liked you like a son." She liked Li Zhiyan the way elders like the younger generation, there was a 23-year difference between them. If it were the kind of liking between a man and woman, it would undeniably be very inappropriate. "Auntie Jiang, look how lively it is up there, more people are signing up." At that moment, the bald man in charge of registration was still yelling, "Everyone!" "Hurry up and register!" "Lots of prize money!" "If you''re a young couple, don''t waste your energy,e sign up for a reward!" Li Zhiyan gently took Jiang Xian''s hand. This surprised Jiang Xian; the kid, why was he suddenly holding her hand? "Auntie Jiang, let''s sign up together, how about it?" Li Zhiyan''s words left Jiang Xian frozen in ce. Li Zhiyan, did he want to join the kissing contest with her? ``` Chapter 150: 094 Energetic Participation in Kissing Contest At this moment, Jiang Xian was somewhat dazed, and the feeling of timidity quickly surged into her heart. Xiao Yan and I participating in a kissing contest. That doesn''t seem right, though. The couples on stage, in this kind ofpetition, it''s not just a simple mouth-to-mouth. It''s real kissing. It wouldn''t be appropriate for me and Li Zhiyan to take part in such a contest. But for some reason, Jiang Xian''s heart inexplicably didn''t refuse. At 41, her hormones were really strong, and virtually every day Jiang Xian would think of certain things. And two of her nails hadn''t been manicured. If she could kiss Xiao Yan, wouldn''t that also be a nice thing? After all, she really liked this kid. He had turned 18 and was now an adult, and she was divorced now as well. Just one kiss, it shouldn''t be a big deal, right? Thinking this, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but feel a sense of heat welling up inside her. But soon after this thought appeared, Jiang Xian sobered up. How could she kiss Li Zhiyan? She was a full 23 years older than him. "Xiao Yan..." "We can''t do this." "Auntie is a married woman, it would be immoral to do such a thing." Ultimately, Jiang Xian still couldn''t ept the idea of kissing Li Zhiyan; it seemed too absurd. "But, Auntie Jiang, you are divorced now." "After divorcees singleness; age is not an issue." "There''s really nothing immoral about the two of us kissing." Li Zhiyan realized that Jiang Xian had clearly beencking the nourishment of love for a long time. Lately, Aunt Fang was blooming like peaches and plums. By contrast, Auntie Jiang waspletely different. She obviously needed caring back and forth, and the infusion of genuine affections to restore her womanly vitality. "Xiao Yan, what are you thinking..." "Apetition like that is not okay." Li Zhiyan knew Jiang Xian needed a reason to agree to participate in such a kissing contest with him. "Auntie Jiang, how about this." "I''ll go and secretly stick on a piece of tape." "That way, it wouldn''t really be a kiss between us!" "Since it''s transparent, nobody will be able to tell." "After all, the prize money and free meal are tempting, five hundred bucks, we can order a lot of meat." "I eat a lot." "It''s just right for eating more tonight, saving a little is saving, right?" Jiang Xian felt a tickling sensation in her heart. "I didn''t see it, you''re quite frugal." "Auntie Jiang, this is called ''the children of a poor family take charge early''." Li Zhiyan recalled a line from a TV drama, when ites to saving, it has to be General Yoo Wen. "Twisted logic." "No, kissing like this is going too far." At that point, Jiang Xian was very firm in refusing the idea of kissing. "Auntie Jiang, I think it''s okay." "Please, I''ll go buy some tape." With that, Li Zhiyan didn''t wait for Jiang Xian''s agreement, and headed straight outside. Jiang Xian, carrying bags big and small, stood there with a sense of being dictated to. At that moment, Jiang Xian felt her heartbeat speeding up. Could it be that she was really going to kiss Xiao Yan... Thinking about it, Jiang Xian found her hormones to be uncontrobly wandering. Her rationality seemed to be crumbling bit by bit. A kiss with Li Zhiyan wouldn''t really count for anything, would it? Nobody would find out anyway, and in a way, what Li Zhiyan said wasn''t wrong. She and Yen Zhengjin were divorced now. Now, she was actually in a state of divorce, single, and free to kiss whoever she wanted. Even getting a room would be her freedom. Without the constraints of marriage, various strange thoughts began to uncontrobly sprout in Jiang Xian''s mind. Before long, Li Zhiyan returned to her side with a roll of tape. "Auntie Jiang, what do you think about this?" Jiang Xian''s face turned slightly red, and she felt increasingly shy. Without saying anything, this kid had the manner of cutting first and reporting afterward, making things feel set in stone. "Oh, Xiao Yan, what are you thinking? How could Auntie kiss you." "I haven''t agreed to it yet, and you went to buy tape." Li Zhiyan tore off a piece of the transparent tape. He then stuck it on his mouth and mumbled somewhat unclearly, "Auntie Jiang, I''m begging you, please agree, okay?" "Just once, just once..." "See, this way we aren''t actually doing anything, and we could still win the prize money, right?" His voice was a bit unclear, but one could roughly understand what he was saying. The sight made Jiang Xian smile as well. "You this kid, why do you have so many strange ideas?" "Auntie Jiang, please agree, okay?" "Please, agree?" Li Zhiyan grabbed Jiang Xian''s hand, shaking her arm continuously. "You, you, why are you just like a little kid, already an adult." "Auntie Jiang, don''t I just be a kid in front of you? Please agree." Jiang Xian still didn''t give in. However, what Li Zhiyan said wasn''t wrong; in front of her, isn''t he just like a kid? When she was 23, he had just been born, she was almost the age of his mother. "No, Xiao Yan, this really isn''t okay." "Auntie can hug you." At that moment, Li Zhiyan felt his hormones surging strongly; how could he be satisfied with just a hug. Chapter 151: 094 Energetic Participation in Kissing Contest_2 "Auntie Jiang, I''ll go register first, and then talk to youter." He knew very well that if he didn''t take the initiative, he would definitely have no chance. If Jiang Xian still disagreed afterward, it would mean that she truly didn''t have such a thought in her heart, not even subconsciously. Then he could no longer continue. "Hey, Xiao Yan." When Jiang Xian saw Li Zhiyan really going to register, she panicked a bit and tried to stop him, but failed to grab hold of him. In the blink of an eye, Li Zhiyan had already gone to register, even pointing at Jiang Xian. When Li Zhiyan came back, he said earnestly, "Auntie Jiang, I''ve registered." "We canpete in the contest soon." Jiang Xian''s face finally turnedpletely red. "No, Xiao Yan, Auntie can''t participate in such a contest with you." "Auntie Jiang, I have tape, and we''re already registered over there, let''s just give it a try, okay?" "Auntie Jiang, please." After Li Zhiyan''s repeated pleas, Jiang Xian hesitantly nodded after a long while. "Alright, but you have to apply the tape properly. Auntie can''t kiss you in such apetition." "We''re just in it for the prize." At this moment, Jiang Xian finally persuaded herself internally. That''s right, she and Li Zhiyan were just after the prize, nothing more. Even if she kissed him, it would be through tape, so it didn''t count as anything; it was just for show. ... At this moment, in the arcade, Yen Zhengjin was feeling ecstatic. He had just won a big payout with a "train" slot on the fruit machine, earning over nine hundred bucks with a 50 times multiplier. Then, he pressed the start button again. Unexpectedly, the whistle of the "train" sounded once more. Two "trains" back to back! Yen Zhengjin stared fixedly at the slot machine, not even blinking. Apparently, there was nothing more thrilling than this in the world. As for women, they really meant nothing at all. His rationality, among other things, was gradually being destroyed. Right now, all he wanted to do was win money, to hear the train''s whistle and then see a few watermelons and double sevens explode on the screen. Suddenly, Yen Zhengjin thought of his ex-wife''s graceful figure and stunning beauty. Somehow, he inexplicably felt as if he had lost something. ... "The contest will start in one minute." "Couples and spouses participating in the contest, pleasee up to the stage." "This time, the kiss has tost for half an hour." "The two of you can''t separate during this period." "And can''t stop." "Anyone who parts ways midway will be considered as having failed the contest." "Everyone in the audience will get a vote." "You can cast your vote for the respective couples." "The final score will be determined based on the votes." The MC announced the rules as Li Zhiyan took out his number te. 33, he was thest one to register, and there were a total of 33 couples participating. "Auntie Jiang, let''s go on stage!" As he spoke, Li Zhiyan didn''t give Jiang Xian any chance to think and pulled her onto the stage. Jiang Xian, still resistant, had no time to think at this moment. She was pulled onto the stage by Li Zhiyan. After cing their shopping bag on the ground, Li Zhiyan gently took Jiang Xian''s hand. Since the stage was only 10 cm high, just enough to demarcate it from the floor, there was no worry about any wardrobe malfunctions. Looking at Li Zhiyan''s intense gaze across from her, Jiang Xian''s heartbeat quickened. Was Li Zhiyan considering her as a woman in his heart? Or as an elder? If he saw her as a member of the opposite sex, as a woman he could sleep with, did he really want to kiss her? "Tape... tape..." Jiang Xian urged. "I know, Auntie Jiang." Li Zhiyan picked up the tape he had torn off earlier and stuck it on his mouth. Although it was impossible for him to keep using tape. Still, for the sake of appearances, he had to pretend at the beginning. "Start!" As the host''s voice faded, the rest of the couples began to kiss. Although such a kissing contest was rtively rare and trendy in the country, all those who came to participate were mentally prepared. The atmosphere around them, wafted with the scent of hormones, made Jiang Xian''s pretty face inadvertently grow hotter. "Auntie Jiang, I''m starting..." Li Zhiyan said, indistinctly, then embraced Jiang Xian, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and pressing tightly against Auntie Jiang. Feeling the warmth of Jiang Xian''s body and the embrace of Auntie Jiang. At that moment, Li Zhiyan was truly reluctant to part. Soon after, he kissed Jiang Xian through the tape. Although separated by ayer of tape, Jiang Xian could still feel Li Zhiyan''s warmth. And Li Zhiyan was holding her so tightly that she could clearly sense all of him. Oh my, how horrifying, appearances really can be deceiving. Even though their lips were separated by tape, the hugging and pressing were genuinely real. At this time, Jiang Xian felt her face growing even hotter. Just let it be... For some reason, Jiang Xian felt an inexplicable sense of loss as Li Zhiyan kissed her through the tape. She cursed herself inwardly for her shamelessness, wondering how she could have such odd thoughts about a child, so shameful... The two of them continued to kiss. Soon, the host noticed something amiss; the age difference between this couple seemed quiterge, but in today''s open society, it wasn''t uneptable for the woman to be older. But what was the deal with using tape for kissing? He immediately corrected the couple''s mistake. "Hey! Contestant 33, no tape allowed, tear it off quickly!" "Otherwise, you''ll be disqualified." Jiang Xian was already conflicted inside, and hearing the host say this, her heart became somewhat panicked. No tape allowed? Didn''t that mean they had to do it for real? The next second, Li Zhiyan left Jiang Xian''s lips and removed the tape. He whispered in Jiang Xian''s ear, "Auntie Jiang, the contest doesn''t allow tape..." "We... we should just stop using it..." When Li Zhiyan said this, he felt oddly like he was discussing a simr issue with Fang Zhiya. "We can''t..." "But, our score will be voided, it''s okay just to press like this..." "Auntie Jiang, is that alright..." Saying this, Li Zhiyan didn''t give Jiang Xian any more chances. He kissed her directly on the lips. Tasting Auntie Jiang''s lips, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes. "Xiao Yan..." "Mmm..." Jiang Xian wanted to refuse, but it was already toote. Li Zhiyan, who had been holding her waist tightly, had already kissed her lips. She and Li Zhiyan, had they kissed? Jiang Xian''s mind went nk, she couldn''t quite believe what she was doing. Was she really kissing Li Zhiyan? But at least, it was just their lips pressing together. Yet, the next second, she realized something terrible... Li Zhiyan had started to engage in the real act of kissing. He was clearly not satisfied with just that. Li Zhiyan was obviously very unskilled and clumsy at this, while Jiang Xian clenched her teeth. But Li Zhiyan never gave up. He held Jiang Xian tightly, and their closeness felt as if she would disappear if he let go. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan said, unclearly, "Please, teach me." "Teach me how to do it..." His voice was muffled, and only Jiang Xian, who was very close, could hear it. Jiang Xian felt her inner shyness reaching its peak. She had truly kissed Li Zhiyan, and now there was no tape to obstruct them. Only onest step remained. She should have rejected him... Then Jiang Xian decided to speak up, to ask Li Zhiyan to hold back a little. But as she responded to Li Zhiyan, she realized that it was already toote... Chapter 152: 095 Love Li Zhiyan, Aunt Fang in the rental room put her hair up Jiang Xian''s mind was nk. Before, what she and Li Zhiyan had done could still be considered a peck. Between elder and younger rtives, this could actually be somewhat exined away. But now, Li Zhiyan had kissed her for real. How could she possibly exin that? At this moment, Jiang Xian tried hard to push Li Zhiyan away. But instead, it seemed like she was weing him even more. The two of them kissed intimately. Completely immersed in thepetition. Li Zhiyan wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian''s slender waist, his hand resting on her hip-hugging skirt. Inhaling the fragrance of Auntie Jiang, Li Zhiyan was intoxicated with kissing Jiang Xian. Time passed quickly, and Jiang Xian had been trying to stop Li Zhiyan''s actions but found it seemed to be of no use... The more she tried to stop him, the more it felt like she was amodating him. Gradually, Jiang Xian''s hormonespletely took over her mind. She was utterly lost in the kiss with Li Zhiyan and responded with fervor. ... Half an hour passed. As the host announced the end of thepetition, Li Zhiyan was still reluctant to stop kissing Jiang Xian. He really didn''t want to let go of Jiang Xian. Only after Jiang Xian took the initiative to separate from him did he end the kiss. By then, Jiang Xian could barely stand. Next was the voting segment; the audience began to vote, and without any doubt, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian did not win any prize. Carrying the shopping bags, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian walked shoulder to shoulder, taking the elevator. Li Zhiyan didn''t care about the prizes at all. The key was to be able to kiss Auntie Jiang; that was more important than anything else. "Auntie Jiang, it''s really a bit regretful today. So long kissing," "and we didn''t even ce. Otherwise, we could have saved some money on food," Jiang Xian''s face was still flushed with redness. "You''re still talking, you said we would kiss over the tape, but then you really went for it," "And also..." "You little rascal, have you ever kissed a woman before?" "You seem somewhat skilled." Jiang Xian felt that Li Zhiyan seemed to have some experience in this regard, but also felt that maybe he didn''t... For a moment, she couldn''t quite grasp the feeling. What''s up with this kid, anyway? "Auntie Jiang, no, I don''t have such experience," "Maybe it''s instinct. Besides, you were teaching me, weren''t you?" "I didn''t know how to at first, but I learned during your guidance." At that moment, Jiang Xian''s fair face grew even hotter. "When did I teach you..." But then she thought, when she was trying to repel Li Zhiyan, it did indeed seem more like she was teaching him. Once they sat down in the restaurant, Jiang Xian pushed the menu towards Li Zhiyan, letting him order. "Xiao Yan, just order whatever you want," Li Zhiyan looked at Jiang Xian''s red lips. During Li Zhiyan''s ordering, the events of the recentpetition kept reying in Jiang Xian''s mind. This kept her facial temperature consistently high. She had actually kissed Li Zhiyan... After ordering, the waiter left. Li Zhiyan''s words also became more uninhibited. "Auntie Jiang, your lips are really sweet," "Don''t talk nonsense," Jiang Xian felt that her facial temperature really wouldn''te down. What on earth was happening today, inexplicably kissing Li Zhiyan for over half an hour. And the key thing was thatter on, she felt moved in her heart. "Auntie Jiang, can I continue to kiss you in the future?" "No... Today was a special situation because we were in apetition, that''s why Auntie kissed you," "In the future, we can''t do this anymore. In my heart, I see you like a younger rtive, a son," "So, we mustn''t do such things like kissing anymore," Despite the numerous impulses in Jiang Xian''s heart, she still had to remarry Yen Zhengjin. Things like kissing Li Zhiyan... No matter what, she could not do it again in the future. Li Zhiyan wasn''t surprised by Jiang Xian''s rejection. Although Jiang Xian wasn''t as overly traditional as Fang Zhiya, she was still a very traditional woman. The idea of her agreeing to kiss him outright was unquestionably impossible... This matter still required his own efforts. "I understand, Auntie Jiang..." After Li Zhiyan nodded earnestly, for some reason, Jiang Xian felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart. Could it be she was really hoping to continue that way with Li Zhiyan? ... After dinner, Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian back to her home. Outside the residential area, both of them felt reluctant to part. "Auntie Jiang, I have to go home," "Okay, Xiao Yan, thank you for apanying Auntie shopping today, I had a lot of fun," Jiang Xian was in a great mood; her day was supposed to be gloomy and boring. But, because of a miraculous coincidence, she met Li Zhiyan. Looking back, it really felt miraculous. Everything was as if it were a dream. "Auntie Jiang, if you''re ever free, you can always call me," Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently hugged Jiang Xian. The two embraced tightly, and Jiang Xian''s face started to turn red again. "Auntie Jiang, I''m going now," Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to do anything too excessive. Today''s events had gone far enough; continuing could lead to the opposite of what was intended. Jiang Xian watched Li Zhiyan''s retreating figure, standing there in a daze for a long time before she finally went home. Chapter 153: 095 Love Li Zhiyan, Aunt Fang in the rental room put her hair up_2 ``` Yen Zhengjin was still not at home; he had beening back veryte recently. Sometimes, Jiang Xian even suspected her ex-husband might be having an affair. But then, considering his physical condition, she dismissed the ludicrous thought. He was hardly of any use under normal circumstances, let alone cheating. What has he been up totely? However, it has to be said that young people are the ones with better health, and in every aspect, Yen Zhengjin simply didn''tpare to Li Zhiyan. Looking at her two fingers, Jiang Xian went to the bathroom to wash up. She had walked so much that day and sweated profusely, making her extremely ufortable. ... Li Zhiyan, with nowhere else to go, went back home. "Mom!" After opening the door, Li Zhiyan called out for his mother. Zhou Rongrong emerged from the bedroom with a face full of surprise. Li Zhiyan hade back without telling her. So at that moment, Zhou Rongrong felt an immense mixture of astonishment and joy. This child, why has hee back at this time? Meanwhile, a sense of worry bubbled up within her. Could something have happened? "Son, why have you suddenlye back in the middle of the night? Did something happen?" The ever-attentive Zhou Rongrong was truly worried for Li Zhiyan. "No... "Mom, nothing''s happened." "I came today to handle some inte caf¨¦ business, so I came home." "I''ve asked for leave from the counselor, so you don''t have to worry about that." Zhou Rongrong then felt relieved. "Son, are you hungry? Mom will make you some food." "Mom, I''ve already eaten." Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently hugged his mother. As a certified mama''s boy, he hadn''t seen his mother since the start of the school term and he had missed her terribly. "Mom, in a little while, I''ll buy you a new apartment, and then you won''t have to live in this rental anymore." "Okay, mom will be waiting for your new apartment then." Zhou Rongrong patted her son''s head, feeling exceedingly proud. To have a son who, at 18, could achieve such great things was something she had never seen before. ... Back in his room, Li Zhiyan looked at his savings; he had a total of 600,000. Once he received the rewards from the milk tea shop, a million was within sight, given the current property prices in Wancheng. Paying all-cash for a 130-square-meter apartment was not a problem at all, especially by the year 2013. By then, the property prices in Wancheng would have skyrocketed. Then, he tried sending a QQ message to Gu Wanzhou, to see if Aunt Gu was asleep. "Aunt Gu, are you asleep?" Gu Wanzhou: "Not yet." "Wanzhou, let''s go on a date tomorrow." Gu Wanzhou: "Xiao Yan, wait a bit, Auntie is quite busy these days." "So wait for a while." Li Zhiyan knew that Gu Wanzhou was avoiding him, trying to cool off during this one month. Afterward, it would be as if nothing had happened... It seemed he could only rely on the system to meet Aunt Gu. At that moment, the system released a new task. Li Zhiyan felt somewhat emotional, the system seemed to be getting stronger, with one task following another. "Task issued: In two days, Yen Zhengjin will lose 20,000 yuan in a game arcade. "As a result, he wille home and throw a temper tantrum." "And argue with Jiang Xian." "Pleasefort Jiang Xian at the appropriate time." "Task reward: 100,000 yuan in cash." "A reward of 100,000 yuan..." "The system''s reward amount is getting higher and higher." "Five days'' time, it''s just a blink of an eye after all." As he nned for the future, Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep. ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan came out of his room, he saw a table full of a sumptuous breakfast, clearly, his mom had put effort into it. "Mom, why do you make so much food?" "My son hase home after such a long time, of course, I have to make more food. I have to go to work in a bit, eat at your leisure." Seeing a table brimming with maternal love, Li Zhiyan''s heart couldn''t help but feel an uncontroble sense of happiness. It''s really good to have a mom. "By the way, son, have you seen your Wu Auntie? Herpany isn''t far from where you are." Li Zhiyan shook his head... "I haven''t had the chance to go yet." In his previous life, both Wu Auntie and his mom had gone to work in the Magic Capital, but in this life, because he didn''t let his mom go to the Magic Capital, Wu Auntie also stayed in Wancheng. "Now her job should have just stabilized." "She moved there also to take care of her son more and to cook for him." "When you have time, visit Wu Auntie." "Wu Auntie likes you a lot, she almost became your godmother before." At this moment, Li Zhiyan''s heart also couldn''t help recalling the past. He and Wu Auntie had almost be mother and son. But fortunately, they hadn''t, or else some matters would really be impossible now. "I know, mom. When Wu Auntie has the time, I will go see her." Zhou Rongrong patted Li Zhiyan''s head and continued to ask: "By the way, Xiao Yan. "Is military training at university hard?" "Not hard." "Mom, don''t worry about these things, I''m doing really well at university." "Just be at ease!" While other students were miserably enduring training in the zing sun and the wind. He could blissfully go wherever he wanted and chat with the 39-year-old counselor. It is simply too delightful, and as for hardships, they just didn''t exist. "Okay, then mom will stop worrying. Oh, son, have you met any girl you like at school?" ``` Chapter 154: 095 Love Li Zhiyan, Aunt Fang in the rental room put her hair up_3 "Yeah..." Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyan''s answer left Zhou Rongrong somewhat incredulous. Her son had a girl he liked. "Her name is Su Mengchen, she will probably be your daughter-inw in the future." "Alright, son, then you go for it, chase after your future daughter-inw." Zhou Rongrong felt that her son had truly grown up and reached the age where he wanted a girlfriend. "Son, you eat first. Mom needs to go to work." Zhou Rongrong arrived at the doorway, put on her high heels, and left the house. Listening to the sound of her high heels bing more distant, Li Zhiyan felt very at peace. He spent the entire morning at home, reluctant to leave. During this morning, he had been chatting with Su Mengchen the whole time. ... In the afternoon, a little past two o''clock, Li Zhiyan returned to school unwillingly, and started ying basketball on the school yground. The reward for growing taller had been distributed, and he now had the chance to reach a height of 180 centimeters. So of course, he went at it with gusto. "I wonder when the system will distribute the reward for bing handsome." "Titles like King of the Wheel, as well as attributes like human dragon and growing taller, have all been given." "So bing handsome shouldn''t be a difficult thing for the system either." After ying for an hour, the students all came for military training. Ziang Zexi and several others jogged over. "Brother Yan is so cool." "Where did you gost night to have fun again!" Ever since they took a bath with Li Zhiyan, his dorm mates have all been under the impression that he''s out having fun every day. After all, Brother Yan''s capabilities are there for all to see. "Not at all, I just had some things to do, I''ll sleep in the dorm tonight." Li Zhiyan knew that if he always skipped sleeping in the dorm, the instructor would be worried. "Brother Yan is too modest. I think you were studying Zhao Zilong of Changshanst night, ughtering wildly at Changban Slope!" Though Su Quanyou was a homebody, being with the couple of show-offs in the dormitory every day, he had also be noticeably more mboyant. From a distance, Su Mengyue, who had juste over, lowered her head when she saw Li Zhiyan, clearly a bit embarrassed. The sight of her, a girl in the throes of spring, made the three guys unable to contain their jealousy. They only ran over to assemble when the instructor''s whistle blew. Li Zhiyan headed straight for the instructor, wanting to ask about the business license. "Aunt Han." Seeing Li Zhiyan again stirred an inexplicable blush in Han Xueying''s eyes. Talking to Li Zhiyan always gave her a strange feeling. "Xiao Yan." "Aunt Han, any news about the business license?" At the mention of this matter, a trace of worry crossed Han Xueying''s pretty face. "No, I''m sorry, Xiao Yan..." "Chief Yin seems to have blocked the process." "I don''t know what''s going on." Li Zhiyan fell silent for a moment, remembering that pretentious department head, Chief Yin''s mother, who doted on Yin Qiang. So it was normal for her to hold up his paperwork. "I understand, Aunt Han." "I''ll handle it from outside the school." Though obtaining a business license could be a hassle, it shouldn''t take too long. He had connections at the civil affairs bureau; they definitely knew all the people in those departments, so it shouldn''t be too troublesome to get things done. Han Xueying, watching the unperturbed Li Zhiyan, couldn''t help feeling a peculiar sense of admiration. This kid was really not like the others. "Xiao Yan, Auntie thinks you''ve gotten taller. You seem to be at 174 now." Li Zhiyan''s noticeable increase in height had been spotted by Han Xueying. "Maybe it''s because I''ve been ying basketballtely." "So I''ve grown a bit taller." With genuine concern, Han Xueying advised, "If you can still grow taller, then keep at it and y more basketball." "Height is so important for boys. I''m also pushing my son to exercise every day, hoping he can grow taller." Han Xueying knew that a child without a father needed a good image; otherwise, in this world where men outnumber women, he might really end up single in the future. Afterward, Li Zhiyan and Han Xueying chatted for over an hour. Only then did he n to head back to the dorm to rest. On the way, he called Wang Jinsheng at the civil affairs bureau to inquire about the business license. The person on the other end immediately said it could be done quickly with someone''s help. This made Li Zhiyan appreciate even more the ease of getting things done with the right connections in society. That evening, Li Zhiyan and his dorm buddies continued to y basketball. ... The next morning, when Li Zhiyan went to the supermarket to buy water, he happened upon Wang Shangyan. "Auntie Wang." "Xiao Yan!" Seeing Li Zhiyan approaching, Wang Shangyan''s eyes were filled with clear joy. She really liked Li Zhiyan a lot. Even the kiss from before, every time she thought about it, it still made her somewhat embarrassed. Even though it was just a moment''s time, it was indeed real. "Auntie Wang, I didn''t expect to see you here today." Li Zhiyan walked up and hugged Wang Shangyan, as it was a time of abundant yang in the morning. As she hugged Li Zhiyan, Wang Shangyan felt her hormones racing. "The supermarket''s business at school just started, and I have to keep an eye on it to prevent sabotage. This supermarket is very important to Auntie." "When I took over the agency rights for this supermarket, I made some enemies." Chapter 155: 095 Love Li Zhiyan, Aunt Fang in the rental room put her hair up_4 Speaking of this, Wang Shangyan still seemed a bit worried. "Auntie Wang, aren''t you quite rich?" "This supermarket shouldn''t be much for you." Wang Shangyan handed Li Zhiyan a bottle of mineral water. "Before the divorce, our financial situation was actually alright, since it was both of us." "But after Auntie and Uncle Lew divorced," "a lot of assets were divided." "So this supermarket is a very important asset to Auntie." Li Zhiyan nodded. "I understand, Auntie Wang, by the way, how are things with the raw materials for the milk tea?" Wang Shangyan asked, "Xiao Yan, have you prepared your business license?" "Yes, Auntie Wang, my business license should be ready this afternoon." "I''m also eager to open for business." It concerned his own monthly ie of thirty thousand yuan... and a cash reward of two hundred thousand yuan, so of course, Li Zhiyan was very attentive. "Then Auntie will make a call, and the machines and such will be delivered soon." "Let''s go to the shop now and wait." "Xiao Yan..." "Honestly, Auntie is really worried about your business venture." Li Zhiyan choosing to open a milk tea shop in such a ce was without a doubt an unwise decision. Even knowing that Li Zhiyan was capable, her heart still felt somewhat frantic. "Auntie Wang, please don''t worry..." Around eleven o''clock, the factory sent over all the raw materials and machines needed for processing the milk tea. The total cost was forty thousand yuan, which was the discounted price considering Wang Shangyan''s influence. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also posted a job advertisement at the entrance of the milk tea shop and had lunch with Wang Shangyan. ... Wang Jinsheng was very efficient in handling matters; by the second afternoon, he had delivered the business license to Li Zhiyan. The moment the business license was in hand, the system''s rewards were also deposited into his ount. "760,000..." Looking at the 760,000 yuan bnce in his bank ount, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble excitement. The one million yuan goal was getting closer. While Li Zhiyan was chatting with Su Mengchen, Han Xueying''s call came through. "Li Zhiyan, how''s the situation with your business license?" "Aunt Han will go and ask Chief Yin again tomorrow, to plead with him." "Chief Yin is a person with a bark worse than his bite; he will definitely help you get the business license." Li Zhiyan felt very warm inside, Aunt Han was indeed keeping him in her thoughts. She remembered this matter very clearly. "Teacher Han, don''t worry, I''ve already obtained my business license." Because he was in the dormitory, Li Zhiyan also called her ''Aunt'' when on the phone. "That''s good..." Han Xueying was a bit surprised, and she thought even more highly of Li Zhiyan''s capabilities. Being able to get the business license in such a short period of time was truly impressive. After Li Zhiyan hung up the phone, Ziang Zexi and the other two gathered around. "Damn!" "Brother Yan, a business license, you''ve be a boss!" Zhang Zhiyuan was convinced at this point and now understood why Su Mengyue liked Li Zhiyan instead of him; the young dragon stood out in any context. "Brother Yan, did you start apany?" Li Zhiyan smiled and said, "No, I just opened a small milk tea shop over by themercial street." "If you guys have time,e and drink milk tea for free." All three were shocked; they were all university students, so why were you so exceptional! "On themercial street, even starting a very small shop would cost at least two hundred thousand, right?" "Exactly..." "Brother Yan, that''s a bit too incredible." The three people''s ttery didn''t matter much to Li Zhiyan, who went straight to sleep after chatting for a while. Having yed basketball for a long time that day, he was indeed tired. The next day, Li Zhiyan woke up full of energy and washed up as usual. Thinking about his tasks for the day. "Yen Zhengjin is so addicted to gambling, and even argued with Auntie Jiang." "Then he shouldn''t me me for taking advantage of the situation." Since the task''s time frame was in the evening, Li Zhiyan was not in a hurry for now. In the morning, he sent a message to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, I''lle home for dinner tonight." "Then I have to go out for a bit." Fang Zhiya: "Baby, I''ll make you something delicious." At that moment, Fang Zhiya, who was at work in thepany, wore a happy smile on her face. The feeling of waiting at home for Xiao Yan to return was very good. In the afternoon, Han Xueying clearly noticed that Li Zhiyan, fresh from ying basketball, had grown taller. He was now about 175 centimeters tall. "Li Zhiyan, why does Aunt Han feel like you''re getting taller and taller, around 175 now?" "Maybe because I''ve been exercising moretely." While chatting with Han Xueying, Li Zhiyan clearly felt that Su Mengyue, the ss beauty during military training, was sneaking nces at him from time to time. Moreover, it seemed that other female ssmates also had special looks for him. When did I gain such charm? What he didn''t know was that the fact he opened a milk tea shop on themercial street had already spread in the ss. With his height reaching 175 and a noticeable improvement in his temperament, it was natural that he drew so much attention. ... Around five o''clock, Li Zhiyan returned home to Fang Zhiya. As soon as the door opened, Fang Zhiya who had been cooking in the kitchen with her hair down, came out. She helped Li Zhiyan get his slippers. "Aunt Fang, just keep cooking," "I can change into slippers myself." Today, Fang Zhiya was dressed in a low-cut top and a short skirt. She wore flesh-colored stockings on her beautiful legs that Li Zhiyan liked a lot, and despite being at home, she had deliberately put on high heels. Chapter 156: 095 Love Li Zhiyan, Aunt Fang in the rental room put her hair up_5 It was obviously prepared for me. "Good..." "Xiao Yan, why don''t you have a seat on the sofa." "Auntie will cook something for you to eat." Li Zhiyan stopped Fang Zhiya, embracing her in his arms. "Wait..." "Aunt Fang..." "I want to kiss..." Fang Zhiya''s body went limp. Then, taking the initiative, she leaned in and kissed Li Zhiyan. "Baby..." "Kiss me." Fang Zhiya said passionately, and Li Zhiyan responded to her. Five minutester, Fang Zhiya ran toward the kitchen, somewhat frantic. "The pot is about to burn..." Li Zhiyan watched Fang Zhiya bustling about in the kitchen and contentedly went to wait on the living room sofa for dinner. After dinner, Li Zhiyan followed Fang Zhiya to the kitchen. He hugged her from behind while she was washing the dishes. Feeling the imminence of Li Zhiyan''s presence, Fang Zhiya''s hormones were also secreting continuously. But now, her family hade to see her. Some things really shouldn''t happen. "Xiao Yan..." "Have you forgotten about Auntie''s situation?" Li Zhiyan held Fang Zhiya tightly, taking in Aunt Fang''s exquisite figure. He whispered in Fang Zhiya''s ear, "It''s okay, Aunt Fang." "Later..." Fang Zhiya nodded gently. "Baby, Auntie loves you, I''d do anything for you." "Why don''t you wait in the living room..." Li Zhiyan went quitefortably to the living room,y on the sofa, while Fang Zhiya, done with the dishes, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After a while, Fang Zhiya, in high heels, appeared before Li Zhiyan. She also held a hairpin in her hand. As she approached Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya put her hair up. Her bashful and timid manner made Li Zhiyan feel even more explosive. "Aunt Fang, feed me." "Okay..." "Baby, whatever you say is fine." Fang Zhiya stepped forward, initiating a kiss with Li Zhiyan. Afterward, she nced at her own buttons. ... Half an hourter, Li Zhiyan took a taxi to the arcade where Yen Zhengjin was ying. The time for the mission was drawing nearer. Li Zhiyan visited the arcade also to see what game had Yen Zhengjin so captivated. When it came to gambling, Li Zhiyan would never touch it, as he and addiction were sworn enemies. After all, gambling was simply fools handing their money to the house. Even if you have a hundred million, or several hundred million, entering a casino would only result in lost fortunes and broken families. He just couldn''t understand why someone like Yen Zhengjin would be addicted to gambling. The highly educated man should know gambling is nothing but a scam. What Li Zhiyan didn''t know was that everything about Yen Zhengjin had started with that confiscated note. "Ride the train!" "Train!" At the moment, Yen Zhengjin was shouting without any image, his heart set on hitting the jackpot. However, this roundnded directly on an apple. Having bet on everything but the apple, Yen Zhengjin lost all his credits in the slot machine, and in anger, he mmed the machine hard. The owner just nced at him, unconcerned. The slot machine wasn''t worth much, and as long as he came here to spend money, he could smash it however he liked. "Boss, load another five thousand yuan worth of credits for me." Yen Zhengjin took out a thick stack of cash from his wallet, and the hefty sum even made Li Zhiyan feel a twinge of pain. Yen Zhengjin really wasvish. Following that, he stood behind Yen Zhengjin, watching him continue to lose money¡ªa thrilling process for Li Zhiyan. He finally understood why Yen Zhengjin was so addicted: gambling had nothing to do with willpower, it was absolutely essential to stay away! More than an hourter, having lost the twenty thousand yuan he brought, Yen Zhengjin turned around and left the arcade without ever noticing Li Zhiyan standing next to him. ... After getting home, Jiang Xian walked out from the master bedroom. "Husband, why have you beening back sote recently? It''s not good for your health." Though it was just a simple expression of concern, it set off Yen Zhengjin, who was already on edge! Right then all he wanted was to vent his emotions on someone, and his wife was the easiest target. After all, she never worked, and he provided all the ie for the house; she couldn''t leave him. "I return whenever I damn well please, what''s it to you?!" The ferocity as if he wanted toy hands on Jiang Xian, instantly flooded her with a feeling of injustice. Chapter 157: 096 Yen Zhengjin goes mad, Jiang Xian is sad, accompanied by Li Zhiyan! Jiang Xian didn''t understand why, just because she casually showed some concern for Yen Zhengjin. She would receive such intense malice from him. It looked as if he wanted to devour her. Moreover, even if he really wanted to "eat" her, he didn''t have the ability to do so. All the grievances she had recently endured exploded in Jiang Xian''s heart. "What are you doing? I just wanted to show some concern for you," "This isn''t good for your health." Yen Zhengjinpletely disregarded the fact that Jiang Xian meant well for him, as his mind was filled with images of lotives and the number seven. As he dwelled on these thoughts, Yen Zhengjin felt that her words might be mocking his health, suggesting that he wasn''t "good enough." How could he tolerate that? "Your body is the one that''s not good enough! If it weren''t for your figure going out of shape, getting older and uglier, I wouldn''t have any problems!" Yen Zhengjin was tantly lying, doing so either to maintain his self-esteem or to vent his inner rage. Yen Zhengjin just wanted to find someone to berate fiercely. Undoubtedly, his ex-wife Jiang Xian, who appeared easy to bully, was the best target for venting. And Jiang Xian would definitely submit, now that they were divorced. She must be afraid that he wouldn''t reconcile with her. At that moment, Yen Zhengjin even felt an urge to hit Jiang Xian to vent his anger. The twenty thousand he had lost was truly heart-wrenching. Ever since he started ying slot machines at the arcade, he had squandered all the money he had earned online. He had even lost extra money, and the thought made Yen Zhengjin furious. However, he managed to restrain his impulse to hit her, because if he did, she would definitely tell her parents, and that would be troublesome. In Yen Zhengjin''s heart, there was a great fear of his own parents. Jiang Xian''s mind seemed to explode. Whether her figure was out of shape or she had grown old and ugly, she was well aware of her own condition. If she truly had be ugly and looked much older, how could Xiao Yan have wanted to kiss her so eagerly? Moreover, he had kissed her for a full half-hour during the kissing contest and was reluctant to let go. If it weren''t for the fact that they stopped kissing because of Li Zhiyan, he might not have stopped at all. It was clearly Yen Zhengjin who was inadequate. Yet now, he was shifting the me onto her. Thinking about it, Jiang Xian found it absurd¡ªhow could this be her fault? She hadn''t even spoken when Yen Zhengjin continued furiously, "You old woman, get lost, get out of my house. We''re divorced; this is my house! This is the house I bought with my money!" Saying this, Yen Zhengjin felt his gambling addiction re up again, and he wanted to go to the arcade to y a few games. "You old woman, I''m leaving. I feel sick just looking at you!" With those words, Yen Zhengjin left the house. His biting words stabbed at Jiang Xian''s heart like knives, causing her to feel an unprecedented sense of difort. Feeling powerless, she sat down on the sofa, her heart filled with immense sadness as tears flowed continuously. ... Outside the residentialplex, Li Zhiyan noticed that Yen Zhengjin had left the house again. He was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yen Zhengjin''s addiction to gambling to be so severe. Then, he saw Yen Zhengjin heading toward the Agricultural Bank''s ATM. Clearly, Yen Zhengjin was nning to withdraw money before heading to the arcade for a spree. Li Zhiyan had asionally bet a dor on fruit machines in inte cafes, but he knew very well that this was something one should never get too caught up in. Once hooked, the end result would be nothing short of financial ruin. "It seems he''s going to take that final step," Li Zhiyan knew that Yen Zhengjin''s family was wealthy. The tutoring business was extremely lucrative in a provincial capital like Wancheng. Moreover, he had led sses at the review center, and his parents were locals who ran a small business. Just the savings in his family alone were definitely more than a million, perhaps even more. Li Zhiyan wasn''t sure of the exact amount, but it was enough for Auntie Jiang to afford not working; Yen Zhengjin certainly had financial strength. Of course, the moment he took to gambling, it was a downward spiral into an abyss from which there''s no return. No matter what, Yen Zhengjin''s return to his previous life was impossible. Afterward, Li Zhiyan sent a QQ message to Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang, what are you doing..." At this moment, Jiang Xian, who was sitting on the sofa and silently crying, suddenly heard the QQ message alert. Who would be sending her a QQ message at such a time? Surprised, she wondered who it might be. Upon checking, she didn''t expect the message to be from Li Zhiyan. After the kissing incident, Jiang Xian had thought a lot about things. She felt she should maintain a certain distance from Li Zhiyan as man and woman. Although she and Yen Zhengjin were divorced, she was single, and Li Zhiyan''s convoluted theories made some sense. But after all, she was a 41-year-old woman. And she would be reconciling with Yen Zhengjin after splitting the house and everything... Even though her lifecked the nourishment of love, after so many years, there were still feelings. Jiang Xian still hoped for a tranquil life with Yen Zhengjin. If there was less love, then so be it¡ªshe could cope on her own. Though Li Zhiyan was just a young man who hade of age, Jiang Xian was certain that in his heart, he saw her as a real woman. In his embrace, she could feel it clearly. Chapter 158: 096 Yen Zhengjin goes mad, Jiang Xian is sad, accompanied by Li Zhiyan!_2 He wanted her to bear his child in his heart. That was not a good thing. She needed to stop the momentum of this mistake... After all, a rtionship with a 23-year age gap could never have a future. But just now, on Yen Zhengjin''s body, she felt a bone-chilling cold, those words about being old and ugly in his house. It brought Jiang Xian''s heart to the brink of utmost sorrow, at just the right moment. Li Zhiyan sent a message to Jiang Xian. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xian still replied to Li Zhiyan. Jiang Xian: "Auntie is at home, why did you think to message auntie?" Li Zhiyan: "I missed Auntie Jiang." "Just now, I don''t know why, but I felt particrly upset in my heart." Li Zhiyan said earnestly. Jiang Xian: "Upset, what happened?" "Auntie Jiang, I don''t know, it just suddenly felt like my heart ached." "Anyway, I just felt really upset, and I suddenly really missed you." Jiang Xian was stunned there, her heart involuntarily filled with sentiment. Was this child thinking of her? Could he really have sensed that she had been bullied? Is there really such a thing as telepathy in this world? Jiang Xian had never believed in such nonsense before, but now, after Li Zhiyan said that, she suddenly believed it. She and Li Zhiyan probably had a kind of fate. Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Jiang, did something happen to you? "Are you unhappy?" Normally, Jiang Xian would say she was fine to keep the child from worrying. But at this moment, her heart''s grievances and repression felt as if they had nowhere to be expressed. Jiang Xian: "I encountered a bit of trouble." After sending the message, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but regret it. Why mention such things to a child? Li Zhiyan: "Did you argue with a teacher?" Jiang Xian: "Yeah, there was some conflict." Li Zhiyan: "Then I''lle to see you." Jiang Xian: "No, you should rest well in your dormitory." It was already veryte, and it would be a hassle for Li Zhiyan toe from school, not to mention it wasn''t safe at night. Li Zhiyan didn''t reply to the message. This threw Jiang Xian into a bit of panic. Thisd, he wouldn''t really be heading out thiste, would he? Jiang Xian: "Xiao Yan, Auntie is fine." "It was just a normal argument." "You stay put in your dormitory." Five minutester, Li Zhiyan messaged again. Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Jiang, I''ve already set out." Jiang Xian never expected Li Zhiyan to actuallye; she waspletely filled with a touched feeling. It seemed that her position in Li Zhiyan''s heart was indeed very important. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have taken a taxi immediately upon hearing she had an argument. Jiang Xian: "Okay then, Xiao Yan, go to the inte caf¨¦, Auntie wille find you there." Li Zhiyan: "Nevermind that, Auntie Jiang, I''ll go to the entrance of your residentialplex. You''re such a beautiful girl, it isn''t safe for you to go out at night, ruffians and thugs are most likely to target you." Jiang Xian: "Auntie is over forty years old, still a girl?" Talking to Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian couldn''t help feeling much happier, her lips curving slightly upward as she increasingly felt the gap between Yen Zhengjin and Li Zhiyan. If only Li Zhiyan were her husband, how wonderful that would be... She gently pinched her face, feeling increasingly shameless. She was 23 years older than him, yet still entertaining such a possibility. At the same time, the image of being engrossed in kissing Li Zhiyan for half an hour started flooding her mind. Jiang Xian''s face turned slightly red. Li Zhiyan: "Girl is an adjective." "Some young women might look old, with bad skin." "They aren''t true girls, but someone with a good figure like you." "And also very beautiful, that''s a real girl." Talking to Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian felt her mood getting better and better. Twenty minutester. Li Zhiyan said: "Auntie Jiang, I''m already outside your residentialplex. Come out, let''s go for a walk." Jiang Xian went to the window, trying to spot where Li Zhiyan was. But obviously, from such a distance, it was impossible to see. "Auntie wille down right away." After messaging Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian hurried back to the master bedroom and looked in the mirror to check if her appearance was all right. She needed to look beautiful in front of the younger person she liked. Thinking it over, Jiang Xian changed into the high heels and pleated skirt she had bought when shest went shopping with Li Zhiyan. She was meeting him wearing clothes he had chosen for her. His heart would surely be happy about that. That''s what Jiang Xian thought to herself. When she arrived outside the residentialplex, Jiang Xian indeed saw Li Zhiyan standing there waiting for her, his face filled with concern. Clearly, he was worried she might have been wronged. "Xiao Yan..." Jiang Xian stepped forward and took Li Zhiyan''s hand, at this moment, she was so moved that she could barely hold back her tears. Li Zhiyan felt somewhat emotional in his heart, realizing that deep affection wasn''t ineffective, but it was wasted on the wrong person. If he had run dozens of miles to find Yu Sisi, she would think him a fool. But with just a little deceit, he had made Auntie Jiang this moved. Feeling the warmth, softness, and delicacy of Auntie Jiang''s hand, Li Zhiyan also asked with concern: "Auntie Jiang, he didn''t bully you, did he?" "No." "Xiao Yan, let''s go for a walk." Walking out of the residentialplex gate holding hands with Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian still felt a fluttery feeling inside. Chapter 159: 096 Yen Zhengjin goes mad, Jiang Xian is sad, accompanied by Li Zhiyan!_3 Although Jiang Xian had already divorced Yen Zhengjin, the two of them still had to remarry. No matter how heartbroken or upset, life still had to go on. But if Yen Zhengjin saw her holding hands with Li Zhiyan, then things would beplicated. After walking down a street, Jiang Xian''s heart finally felt a bit more at ease, not having to worry about being seen by Yen Zhengjin. "Auntie Jiang, what exactly happened?" Hearing the sound of high heels, Li Zhiyan had the urge to slightly bow. The allure of a woman, high heels indeed take up arge part of it. For instance, Fang Zhiya would also put on high heels at home to cheer herself up. "I really don''t know what happened..." If Li Zhiyan didn''t know about it, she definitely wouldn''t have spoken, but since he did, there was no harm in speaking about it. "Today, after he came back, I showed some concern and asked him why he came back sote, that it''s not good for his health, then he got angry. I can''t understand why." As she said this, a sense of grievance surged in her heart, and Jiang Xian involuntarily tightened her grip on Li Zhiyan''s hand. Li Zhiyan could probably understand Yen Zhengjin''s state of mind, having lost twenty thousand yuan, and that too in a very short period of time, he was full of rage. What Auntie Jiang said wasn''t important, all he wanted was to vent the anger in his heart on someone, and that''s why he got into a fight. "Auntie Jiang, you should just forget about him." "I think he must be obsessed." "From now on, it''s enough if I treat you well." Jiang Xian couldn''t help but stop in her tracks, as Li Zhiyan had rushed over here without a second word tonight. It truly touched her heart. A child''s heart is always sincere, and his feelings towards her were sincere too. "Okay, Auntie understands." At this moment, Jiang Xian felt like having a couple of drinks. "Xiao Yan, do you usually drink?" "Auntie Jiang, I don''t drink, but if you''d like to drink¡ª" "I can join you for a few drinks." Jiang Xian nodded. "There''s a bar nearby, let''s go have a couple of drinks." "Auntie has never been to a bar to drink before." As a 41-year-old woman, Jiang Xian instinctively resisted the idea of going to a bar. But today, with Li Zhiyan''spany, it was apletely different story. After entering the noisy bar, Li Zhiyan saw various fashionable people. All kinds of hair colors were present, as well as various brand names. Like the Chinese characters for Nike, adibasi and the like, which made Li Zhiyan feel a strong sense of the era. In the past, it seemed he, too, had an abiwang shirt. "Auntie Jiang, what kind of drink would you like?" "Liquor?" Li Zhiyan didn''t know about Jiang Xian''s alcohol tolerance, so he asked her what she preferred. "Let''s have some red wine, two sses each, and then we can go back." Jiang Xian had never been drunk before, and today, she only wanted to drink to empty her mind and ease her gloomy mood. Once seated, Li Zhiyan ordered a bottle of red wine. Then he poured a full ss for Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang." "I really think that guy with the surname Yen is being unappreciative. He''s so ugly, and not on the same level as you at all. Marrying a wife like you, he should really be overjoyed." "And yet, he dares to find fault, which is justughable." Jiang Xian, holding her ss, couldn''t help but let out a lightugh. Actually, many people had said she was not a good match for Yen Zhengjin in looks, but when Yen Zhengjin was young, he was somewhat handsome; she just hadn''t expected him to age so quickly. Now, he had almost lost all of his hair; standing next to him with his bald head made her feel like he was much older than her. "Xiao Yan, why do I feel like you really dislike him?" Li Zhiyan did not hide his dislike for Yen Zhengjin, especially since Auntie Jiang''s rtionship with Yen Zhengjin was not the same as before, so there was no need to pretend. "Auntie Jiang, of course I dislike him." "After all, he''s not a good person." "Just think about it, making things difficult for a student just because their family doesn''t have money, is that the mark of a good person?" Jiang Xian hadn''t thought much about it before, but now, hearing Li Zhiyan say it, she felt there was a lot of truth to it. Indeed... Sometimes the things he did were quite despicable. If she were in Li Zhiyan''s position, she would certainly despise Yen Zhengjin as well. "He dares to argue with you simply because you don''t work." "The man has no conscience,pletely ignoring the contributions you make to life." Taking such a good opportunity to fan the mes, Li Zhiyan naturally seized the chance without hesitation. And all of Jiang Xian''s grievances were pulled out by Li Zhiyan. "Actually, my job before was pretty good, too." "But he earned a bit more money, so he wanted me to quit and be a housewife." "In the end, my life became what it is now." "I became a full-time housewife." "And today, heined that I was old and ugly." Li Zhiyan cursed Yen Zhengjin in his heart for being nonsense; Auntie Jiang old and ugly? If that were so, then there wouldn''t be beauties in this world. "Auntie Jiang, don''t listen to his nonsense." "I think he must be upset about something, that''s why he''s making absurd ims." "Your face is so white and tender." "Your bust is so firm, and you have such a slim waist, legs so white and long too!" Chapter 160: 096 Yen Zhengjin goes mad, Jiang Xian is sad, accompanied by Li Zhiyan!_4 "I wonder how many people out there secretly like you," "And you''re sweet talker too," "Words like ''old and ugly'' simply don''t apply to you," Having drank half a ss of red wine, Jiang Xian listened to Li Zhiyan''spliments, a blush spreading slowly across her pretty face, making her look rather heart-stirring. "Auntie Jiang..." "Don''t pay attention to what he says, stay far away from him, and don''t let him touch you," Jiang Xian nced at Li Zhiyan. In the eyes of this child, she saw something called possessiveness. Li Zhiyan apparently didn''t want her to get close to Yen Zhengjin? However, she indeed wanted to have another child in her bellytely. But Yen Zhengjin simply wouldn''t do. Sometimes, even when she unbuttoned her blouse, he would still indifferently escape. And after today''s unwarranted outburst, Jiang Xian felt an instinctual aversion toward Yen Zhengjin in her heart. "You child, what are you thinking..." "I just feel he''s not worthy of you," "You''re right not to let him touch you," Jiang Xian pinched Li Zhiyan''s face and said with a smile, "You child..." "Auntie won''t let him touch her," She didn''t mention that Yen Zhengjin was incapable. Recently, her hand strength had really evolved a lot. "For him to get angry at Auntie out of the blue like that." "It''s impossible for me to forgive him for these things within a year or two," Jiang Xian made up her mind, she wouldn''t let Yen Zhengjin touch her for at least half a year! If his behavior remained faultless after half a year, she would consider remarrying him and letting him into her bedroom. "That''s good, Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan sighed with relief; his possessiveness was unquestionable. After experiencing that half-hour long kiss with Auntie Jiang, His desire for her gradually reached its peak. "You child, you just can''t stand to see Auntie being affectionate with someone else, huh." "Of course, Auntie Jiang." "I think I''ve fallen for you," "After that kiss, I really found you to be an incredibly charming woman," Li Zhiyan jokingly confessed his feelings to Jiang Xian. His hormones were certainly more than sufficient, so if Auntie Jiang could be with him, He could certainly bathe Jiang Xian in the moisture of love, Letting the blush spread across her pretty face all over again. "Auntie likes you too, like she likes a son," "But Xiao Yan, that wasn''t a kiss. It was just a game we yed together, that''s all," "It was just a little game," Jiang Xian felt her words seemed a bit unconvincing as she spoke. A little game thatsted half an hour might be a bit much. At the beginning of the game, she was resistant, wanting to repel Li Zhiyan, But then shepletely became amodating and immersed herself in it, Embracing Li Zhiyan tightly and indulging in that sensation. Deep down, she also saw Li Zhiyan as a man, A man who could potentially father her second child. "Auntie Jiang, I don''t want you to see me as a son," "I want you to be my girlfriend," "You''re divorced now and single. Why don''t we be together?" "I want to be able to hug and kiss you often," When one has had a drink, anything can be said. Even if the other person gets angry, one could end with, "I was drunk," and just like that, perfectly skip over the matter. "Xiao Yan, don''t joke with Auntie..." Jiang Xian''s heart suddenly felt tense, was Li Zhiyan confessing to her? What strange thoughts did this child have? "Auntie Jiang, I''m not joking. I am serious. I always saw you as an elder before," "But since that kiss, I''ve felt you are an incredibly charming woman," "I''ve been thinking a lot about you," Jiang Xian cut off Li Zhiyan''s words. "Xiao Yan, stop there. Auntie has always seen you as a child," Looking at Jiang Xian''s earnest expression, Li Zhiyan did not continue. "Then let''s drink, Auntie Jiang," Li Zhiyan added quite a bit of wine to Jiang Xian''s ss. Seeing Li Zhiyan truly shut his mouth, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, this child wasn''t the kind who wouldn''t listen to reason. Once he realized his mistake, he didn''t persist stubbornly. Yet at the same time, a strange sense of loss arose within her. Wasn''t this child going to persist even a little? ... When the two left the bar, Jiang Xian''s walk was a bit wobbly, making Li Zhiyan realize just how poor her alcohol tolerance was. Half a bottle of red wine, and she was barely holding up. Still, Jiang Xian was very clear-headed. "Auntie wants to find some work of her own, or maybe start a small business," Li Zhiyan supported Jiang Xian''s ideas. "I''m sure you can do it well," The two chatted as they arrived at Jiang Xian''s residential area. "Auntie Jiang, let me take you upstairs," "Shouldn''t we, in case he sees it?" "You''re already divorced, Auntie Jiang. Plus, I''m just a kid, what does it matter if he sees?" Thinking it over, Jiang Xian agreed; Li Zhiyan''s recent joke of a confession. Chapter 161: 096 Yen Zhengjin goes mad, Jiang Xian is sad, accompanied by Li Zhiyan!_5 She hade to view him as a man in her heart. But in reality, he was not even 19 years old, indeed a true child to them, who were all over forty. "Alright then..." Taking the elevator, Xiao Yan escorted Jiang Xian all the way to her doorstep. Li Zhiyan took hold of Jiang Xian''s hand. "Auntie Jiang, I want to kiss you, may I..." "No..." Jiang Xian''s face flushed with heat; she had thought that Li Zhiyan had forgotten about the confession. But now he suddenly proposed to kiss her! "Xiao Yan..." "It''s not right for us to kiss, and this is right outside my home." "Didn''t you say, Auntie, that what happened before was just a game for apetition?" Li Zhiyan grasped Jiang Xian''s delicate hand without letting go. "Auntie Jiang, if it was a game..." "Then that means you consider me a junior." "If we yed a game before, why can''t we y a game again?" Li Zhiyan spoke very seriously, gazing at Jiang Xian''s red lips. He felt his heartbeat quickening. "A game..." Jiang Xian murmured as if finding a reason for herself. Due to thepensation for the demolition of the old house she had lived in, she was divorced, single. So why couldn''t she kiss Li Zhiyan? Although she was 23 years older than him, it wasn''t impossible. And moreover, it wasn''t a kiss, it was a game. "Xiao Yan..." Jiang Xian hadn''t finished speaking, when Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around her waist and gently brought his mouth close to her ear. "Auntie Jiang..." "I want to y a game with you, not kiss, just for a moment, and then I''ll leave, okay? Otherwise, I won''t be able to sleep tonight." Li Zhiyan''s voice was very earnest. "But..." Jiang Xian still wanted to refuse, but was already kissed by Li Zhiyan. At that moment, she realized, she couldn''t avoid it. Subconsciously, Jiang Xian began to respond to Li Zhiyan''s kisses. She was ying a game with Li Zhiyan, not kissing. Not a kiss, so it was okay... Jiang Xian kept deceiving herself in her heart. The two continued kissing, unknowing of how much time had passed, until the elevator chimed. That''s when Jiang Xian separated from Li Zhiyan in a fluster. "Xiao Yan, you should go back now..." Once the elevator door opened, fortunately, it was just the next-door neighbor, which eased Jiang Xian''s anxiety, grateful it wasn''t Yen Zhengjin. The woman looked at them, greeted Jiang Xian, and found Jiang Xian''s flushed face odd, but upon seeing Li Zhiyan was just an adult youth, she didn''t think much of it. "Xiao Yan, you better leave now, Auntie needs to rest." "Goodbye, Auntie..." Reluctantly, Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian''s face before leaving. The neighbor, while unlocking her door, faintly overheard the sound of a kiss. She turned to look, then thought little of it, probably misheard; after all, it''s unlikely for Jiang Xian, at 41, to be involved in such a thing with a younger man. "Okay..." "Auntie Jiang, I''ll take my leave now." Li Zhiyan bowed slightly, and after turning around, he straightened up and left. Afterward, he took a taxi back to the home he shared with Fang Zhiya. Before anything happened, Li Zhiyan felt indifferent and could endure it. But after reaching that point with Aunt Fang, Li Zhiyan found himself struggling to restrain himself. ... Upon returning home, Fang Zhiya, who had emerged from the master bedroom, was pleasantly surprised to see Li Zhiyan. As the house''s door lock had been changed, only Li Zhiyan could open it. She hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan toe back that evening. "Aunt Fang..." Li Zhiyan advanced and kissed Fang Zhiya''s mouth without hesitation. With Aunt Fang, he was indeed much freer. "Xiao Yan..." "Mmm... What''s wrong, baby? Auntie feels you''re very anxious." Fang Zhiya sensed that Li Zhiyan seemed different from usual. The two continued their muffled conversation, never stopping their kiss. "Let''s sit on the sofa for a while, I want to have some snacks first." Fang Zhiya and Li Zhiyan momentarily parted. "Xiao Yan..." "Let''s go to the bedroom..." Li Zhiyan was surprised but also felt an explosion of hormones. In the master bedroom, lying down, one could see the ceiling mirror clearly reflecting everything inside. The visual effect was almost cinematic. Aunt Fang was willing to go back to the room with him; usually, they snacked on the sofa. "Yes..." "Baby, although many things are hard for Auntie to ept, she will try her best." "Because Auntie loves you." "Let Auntie feed you some snacks first." Chapter 162: 097 Fang Zhiya wants to have a daughter! Million savings goal is within sight Fang Zhiya''s petite figure stood in front of Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan''s heart was very touched. Afterwards, Li Zhiyan started snacking. Aunt Fang''s heart was so traditional, and yet, after being with her, she was really breaking through her inner concepts... After a while, Li Zhiyan softly said, "Aunt Fang, do you really want to go to the bedroom?" By now, Fang Zhiya had gonepletely limp. She was just born this way... "Baby, are you really sure, going to the room?" Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s waist. Gently calling Fang Zhiya baby. Calling out like this also had quite the mood... "Mm... Auntie loves you baby, willing to do anything for you." "Those things you talked about earlier, Auntie will slowly ept them." With her face burning, Fang Zhiya said seriously. Seeing Fang Zhiya like this, Li Zhiyan couldn''t control himself and kissed her. Then, little by little, the two of them moved toward the master bedroom. Upon reaching the room, Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to lie down, looking at the scenery on the ceiling. From this angle, everything really could be seen very clearly. It felt like being on a lookout tform. After that, Fang Zhiya slowly moved closer, lying down, and kissed Li Zhiyan. Although her heart felt very shy, what mattered to her even more was that Li Zhiyan was happy. For her baby, she could do anything. ... A long timeter, Fang Zhiyay in Li Zhiyan''s arms with her eyes tightly closed. Thinking that these seven days could pass by quickly. After the seven days are over, she could continue feeling happiness. She swallowed, savoring the taste of the snacks from before. Fang Zhiya slowly fell asleep. And at this time, Jiang Xian, who had just wiped her fingers at home, couldn''t stop thinking about the scenes of her kissing Li Zhiyan. The previous kissingpetition... Her kissing him had been outrageous enough. She had resolved to keep her distance from Li Zhiyan, but unexpectedly, she had kissed him again today. And what''s more, she didn''t resist much and was fully immersed in it. Oh my, what on earth was happening to her. Meanwhile, Yen Zhengjin was in the game room, ying a fishing game. Scoring non-stop, he was flushed with excitement; there really was nothing more fun than this game in the world! ... The next day, upon waking up, Li Zhiyan saw Fang Zhiya still deep in sleep in his arms. Looking at Aunt Fang''s fair skin, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help caressing Fang Zhiya''s back. Fang Zhiya naturally woke up. Feeling Li Zhiyan''s changes, Fang Zhiya was excited inside, thinking how young people really are never at rest. "Aunt Fang... I..." Fang Zhiya didn''t speak; she understood Li Zhiyan''s thoughts very well. "It''s okay, Auntie can do anything for you." ... A long whileter, Li Zhiyan sat at the dining table, eating the breakfast Fang Zhiya made. "Baby, it''s hot these days, so from now on in the house," "you just need to wear two pieces of clothing, it will be cooler." "But it has to wait until after seven days." Fang Zhiya fell silent for a moment and then nodded. "Okay, baby, Auntie will listen to you." "By the way, Auntie wants to tell you something." "Auntie is willing to have a child for you." Li Zhiyan heard this with some anticipation... Not having a child with the one you love in this lifetime would indeed be a regret. Aunt Fang was already 42 years old, still capable of having children. Waiting another five or six years, well, it would really be uncertain. So, in fact, it was a matter of concern for Li Zhiyan. "Then, Aunt Fang, after these few days are over, shall we start?" "Baby, give Auntie one month''s notice, in one more month, we will start trying, give Auntie some time to mentally prepare." After being betrayed by her own son, Fang Zhiya was utterly disappointed in him. She couldn''t imagine her own son conspiring with outsiders to harm her. And her ex-husband in jail had also framed her before. Now, thinking about it, her life seemed wasted, but fortunately, Li Zhiyan hade into her life. Having a child for him was inevitable. Her son no longer had any connection with her. So, she had to have a second treasure; otherwise, she would end up childless in her life. "Okay." Anyway, being able to have a child with Aunt Fang made Li Zhiyan very happy. Waiting another month was no big deal; after all, he was in no rush. "Aunt Fang, do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Li Zhiyan asked, discussing such a topic with Fang Zhiya was something he was very keen on. "Boy or girl, what do you like?" Talking about having a child for Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya''s cheeks became very warm. "I don''t really mind, I can ept a boy or girl." Li Zhiyan didn''t have any biases towards sons or daughters. "However, if possible, I would still hope for a daughter." "Because boys are too naughty when they are little." Boys at a young age are troublesome for everyone, and Li Zhiyan was no exception. "Auntie also wants to give you a daughter." "Having had a son before, it turned out he was such a selfish person." "In the future, Auntie wants a daughter too." "As a little cotton-padded jacket..." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya''s face grew even hotter. "By the way, Xiao Yan, there''s something Auntie needs to tell you." Chapter 163: 097 Fang Zhiya Wants to Have a Daughter! Million Savings Goal is Close at Hand_2 "Auntie is the kind of person who isn''t easily pregnant," "If she wants to get pregnant, it might take a lot of effort." Li Zhiyan didn''t mind the trouble at all. He wanted Aunt Fang to conceive his child as soon as possible. He would definitely need to make an effort after a month. "Aunt Fang, it''s okay..." "If one day doesn''t work then two days, if two days don''t work then a week." "If a week doesn''t work, then a month." "As long as we keep trying without rest, we can definitely make it happen." Fang Zhiya blushed with embarrassment. Sure, it would take a lot of effort, but Li Zhiyan was 18, at his peak strength. When he said he would make an effort, he meant he would put in a tremendous amount of effort. After dinner, while Fang Zhiya was washing dishes, Li Zhiyan began dotting the house with chewing gum. The seven-day deadline was fast approaching. So he had to start preparing early. After cing chewing gum on the balcony, beside the sofa, and in the bathroom, Li Zhiyan went to the kitchen and put the chewing gum on the dish rack. "Xiao Yan, what are you doing..." "Aunt Fang, the seven-day period is almost over, so I''m getting ready in advance." Fang Zhiya''s pretty face turned red, but she still helped Li Zhiyan ce the chewing gum. ... After going to school, Li Zhiyan stood at the edge of the field and watched his ssmates'' military training. He checked the system, his savings had now reached 860,000. This amount was astronomical. Only 140,000 away from being a millionaire! The value of being a ten-year millionaire is indeed astonishing. With a thickyer of sunscreen on her face, Su Mengyue reddened upon seeing Li Zhiyan approaching. Li Hui, who was standing beside her, said while the instructor wasn''t looking, "Mengyue, you''re looking at Li Zhiyan again." "Li Zhiyan really is a nice guy." "His only w is not being very tall, but he owns his bubble tea shop, which more than makes up for not being 180 cm tall." Su Mengyue''s face turned even redder. "Actually, Li Zhiyan isn''t that short, haven''t you noticed he seems to have grown taller these past few days?" Li Hui looked and felt a bit amazed. Without Su Mengyue mentioning it, she wouldn''t have noticed, but now that she mentioned it, he did seem to have grown taller. "If Li Zhiyan grows to 180 cm, will he be a male god..." "Now that you mention it, I''m kind of looking forward to it." Zhang Zhiyuan, who was in the back row, listened with a heavy heart. He had thought about pursuing Su Mengyue and whether there was any hope, but now her heart was all about Brother Yan. It seemed like there really was no hope for him. A 20-year-old man was indeed extraordinary. In the following days, Li Zhiyan lived a repetitive life, ying basketball every day, watching others do military training, and chatting with the counselor auntie. He also chatted with Su Mengchen and her friends, and after school, he would y basketball with his buddies. When he had nothing to do, he would also visit the bubble tea shop. Now, under the system''s management, the business at the bubble tea shop had started to boom, just like his inte cafe. A steady profit of a thousand yuan a day, neither more nor less. Now, just these two shops alone brought in a guaranteed ie of sixty thousand yuan a month, making Li Zhiyan feel very at ease. There was nothing he needed to fear in the future. By persistently ying basketball, his height had rapidly reached 178 cm. Not far from 180 cm now, and that day, the system also issued a new task. "Tomorrow, Yen Zhengjin will lose 30,000 yuan in the arcade, in a fishing game." "So when he gets home, he will rage at Jiang Xian." "And he will kick Jiang Xian out of the house." "Because Jiang Xian found a dodgy hotel to stay in, she will be harassed by the owner lusting after her." "Please help Jiang Xian move to another hotel." "Reward for the task, one hundred thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan felt somewhat sentimental. Before short videos became popr, this world was really quite magical. Wancheng''s public security wasn''t very good either. Many things couldn''t be spread because there was no developed self-media. However, with the system, he wouldn''t miss out on the aunties'' important events. This was truly especially important. The system''s rewards were obviously getting better and better, with previous tasks awarding tens of thousands of yuan, while the rewards for thest task and this one were a hundred thousand yuan in cash. This made Li Zhiyan quite excited. He just didn''t know when the system would reward him with the skill to be more handsome. Now that he was about to reach a height of 180 cm, if he could have a handsome face to match, his life would be even smoother. Actually, the ordinary Li Zhiyan really did want to be a male god. Before the system, such a thing could only exist in his dreams. But now with the system, it was apletely different scenario. "Brother Yan, I think you''ve grown quite a bit, about 5 cm in this week alone." "This is really incredible." "I want to practice extra to see if I can grow taller too." Envious, Su Quanyou, who also wasn''t very tall, spoke with longing in his voice. Indeed, the truly great were impressive in every aspect. Even after reaching adulthood, they could still grow taller¡ªwhere in the world could you talk sense into that? Ziang Zexi threw cold water on him. "I think you''d better forget about it." "One important prerequisite for growing taller is that your growth tes haven''t closed yet." "If your growth tes are closed, you won''t grow taller even if you train for ten years." "Someone like Brother Yan is probably one in a million." "So don''t harbor any expectations." Chapter 164: 097 Fang Zhiya Wants to Have a Daughter! Million Savings Goal is Close at Hand_3 Zhang Zhiyuan echoed, "That''s true, but Brother Yan, you need to hurry up." "The peak period for growing taller might be just a week." "Or it could be within a month." "If you break through to 180cm during this time, you''ll definitely be the esteemed dragon among men." Speaking, the envy in his voice was evident to anyone. "By the way, Brother Yan, how''s your bubble tea shop doing?" Upon hearing that Li Zhiyan had opened a bubble tea shop, all three of them were bursting with envy. It was just too cool, to be a boss at such a young age. No wonder he never returned to the dorm, with his extraordinary talent. And with money too, there was simply no rest for him at night. "The bubble tea shop has started operating, and if you guys want bubble tea, you cane to my ce anytime, it''s all free." Only those who run a bubble tea shop know how low the costs are. After opening a bubble tea shop, he realized how massive the profit was, and that the main costs were actually the storefront; many shops made far less money than the street vendors. It all came down to rental costs. "Really, Brother Yan, take us to see your bubble tea shop!" "Exactly, I want to take a picture, to brag to my friendster that my buddy owns it." "What do you mean bragging? That''s not bragging; Brother Yan is a genuine rich guy! A second-generation rich kid!" The three of them imagined Li Zhiyan as a rich second-generation. "I''m not a rich second-gen, I just made a bit of money before. Come on, I''ll take you guys to see my bubble tea shop." Just as they were about to leave, they ran into the counselor, Han Xueying. "Teacher Han." "Teacher Han." All of them greeted Han Xueying, who was the kind-hearted big sister type of counselor known for looking out for her students. The students in the ss liked her very much and would share their troubles with her. However, the only one who was truly close to Han Xueying was Li Zhiyan. When she saw Li Zhiyan, Han Xueying''s heart couldn''t help but recall their previous conversations. This kid liked women 20 years his senior, saying he just liked someone like herself. Even the ss beauty Su Mengyue subtly hinted at her affection for him, but he remained indifferent. In Han Xueying''s mind, there was something wrong with Li Zhiyan''s way of thinking. So Han Xueying wanted to help steer Li Zhiyan back on track. The military training had been going on for half its duration, and she often chatted with Li Zhiyan, trying indirectly to change his mindset. But she found herself being somewhat swayed by him. "What are you guys talking about?" Ziang Zexi answered, "Teacher Han, it''s like this, Brother Yan''s bubble tea shop has opened, so he''s inviting us to have some bubble tea." Han Xueying was surprised; opening a shop wasn''t an easy task. Insiders might find it very simple, but for outsiders, it''s a whole different story. For someone as inexperienced as Li Zhiyan... It would be impressive enough if he managed to open his bubble tea shop in half a month, yet now he had already opened for business. This filled Han Xueying''s heart with nothing short of astonishment. She could hardly believe it. "Li Zhiyan, did your bubble tea shop open so quickly because you''ve run one before?" Such a thing, naturally, Li Zhiyan had never done before. This was all thanks to Auntie Wang and Wang Shangyan. If it weren''t for Wang Shangyan, opening his own bubble tea shop would have been quite troublesome. "Teacher Han, I haven''t run a bubble tea shop before; this is my first time." This response brought a flicker of amazement to Han Xueying''s eyes, as it seemed this young man truly had a genius for business, setting up a shop in such a short period of time on his own. But still, she couldn''t help feeling worried. Thepetition among bubble tea shops on themercial street was fierce, almost like a meat grinder. For Li Zhiyan to seed in business there felt almost as challenging as ascending to the heavens. "But you guys really look up to Li Zhiyan." "Calling him Brother Yan one after another." Han Xueying realized that Li Zhiyan seemed to have a leader''s quality. Making all three of his dormmates call him Brother Yan. "Of course, Brother Yan is sessful at a young age, plus he''s good at fighting, easily defeating the instructor in wrestling." "We definitely look up to him, especially since he''ll treat us to free bubble tea." The few of them joked around. Zhang Zhiyuan didn''t mention that his admiration for Li Zhiyan was mainly because of the Young Dragon event. That was something to chat about privately and obviously inappropriate to say in front of a counselor. "Li Zhiyan, you''re really amazing." "But, I''ve noticed you really have grown taller!" "You must be close to 180cm now. ying basketball really helps." Indeed, these past few days everyone noticed they had grown taller. "It''s just that I''ve grown a bit faster these past few days." "I guess my height will stop at around 180cm." Li Zhiyan said with a smile. As they chatted, they arrived at themercial street without realizing it. At the moment, the street was filled with female college students, each wearing shorter skirts than thest, exuding a youthful vibe everywhere. However, in this lifetime, Li Zhiyan wasn''t much interested in girls his age. He was fonder of the more understanding mature women. In his opinion, these mature women were more suitable for him. "Li Zhiyan, where is your bubble tea shop located?" Chapter 165: 097 Fang Zhiya Wants to Have a Daughter! Million Savings Goal is Close at Hand_4 "It''s just up ahead." Li Zhiyan led the group to the front of the milk tea shop. The few clowns from the dorm all looked up at the sign. "Zhichen Milk Tea Shop." "Brother Yan, who is this Zhichen? Your sister?" "Just a random name." Li Zhiyan would not admit that the name of the milk tea shop was derived from his own namebined with Su Mengchen''s. However, he had to report to his mother-inw. To let his mother-inw know that he liked Chenchen in his heart. Then she would definitely support his rtionship with Su Mengchen even more and help with all her might. A week had passed, and he had been chatting with Su Mengchen every day. Although she had started to have some conversations with him. But now he still couldn''t ask her out. ording to Li Zhiyan''s understanding of Su Mengchen, He was very clear that it would take a long and tedious process to get Su Mengchen to go out with him. "Brother Yan, your business is doing so well!" Ziang Zexi couldn''t believe it as he saw the line forming outside the shop. It''s not to say there''s a milk tea shop every ten steps here, but it''s prettymon to see one every so often, especially since milk tea is practically a necessity among college students. Li Zhiyan managed to thrive in such apetitive environment. Ziang Zexi felt envious just thinking about it. He had exhausted himself working part-time jobs during the holidays just to afford his current luxurious lifestyle, butpared to Brother Yan, it was nothing. "Li Zhiyan..." At this moment, Han Xueying was somewhat at a loss for words, and her gaze towards Li Zhiyan had changed. Previously, Han Xueying thought that Li Zhiyan was just a kid. And that it would be very difficult for him to manage a milk tea shop. But now, everything had surpassed her expectations! He had not only opened a milk tea shop, but the business was also booming! She found it unbelievable. How did he do it! Up ahead, Li Hui, who was in line, heard a familiar voice and tugged at Su Mengyue, who was also queuing up. "Mengyue, is that Li Zhiyan behind us?" "Let''s go talk to Li Zhiyan." Su Mengyue felt shy, and her face flushed red. The girl''s cheeks were naturally thin, only Fang Zhiya couldpete with her in this among the aunties that Li Zhiyan knew. "Okay..." Following Li Hui, Su Mengyue came over to the group, and greeted Li Zhiyan. "Hello, Teacher Han!" The two of them first greeted Han Xueying. Although school had started just a week ago, everyone really liked Han Xueying, the caring big sister. Afterward, Su Mengyue greeted Li Zhiyan. "Hello, Li Zhiyan, are you also here to buy milk tea? Let me treat you." "Hello, Su Mengyue, Li Hui." Li Zhiyan greeted the two pretty girls from his ss. Su Mengyue was one of those goddess-level girls. Li Zhiyan had a deep impression of her, as her name differed by only one character from Su Mengchen''s. As for Li Hui, she was a cute beauty of the more ordinary kind. Even so, she was destined to be pursued by admirers in the future. Han Xueying felt a bit regretful at the moment. In her heart, she still hoped that Li Zhiyan and Su Mengyue would get together. This girl was beautiful, and Li Zhiyan was talented and had noticeably improved in his demeanor now that he had grown taller. If they got together, and married after graduation, they would probably be the envy of all their ssmates. Thinking about it made Han Xueying somewhat excited. Unfortunately, the boy had a thing for older women and wasn''t interested in girls his own age. No matter how she tried to correct it, it was useless. "Su Mengyue, you might not know this, but here you should let Brother Yan treat you to milk tea." "Brother Yan is the owner of this milk tea shop!" With Su Quanyou''s remark, Su Mengyue''s face turned even redder, and her heart raced with her pigtails bobbing. Li Zhiyan was not only strong and confident, but he was also a rich second generation, in the eyes of ordinary people. Anyone who could open their own milk tea shop at 18 must be a rich second generation; there''s no other exnation. For Su Mengyue, this was the same. She felt somewhat inferior. With his style, strength, and a wealthy family, was she worthy of someone like Li Zhiyan? In Su Mengyue''s behavior, Li Zhiyan sensed an inferiorplex. He felt a bit stunned; was he really boyfriend material? Even the ss belle, who once seemed out of his league, was now showing such an attitude towards him. All this, when it came down to it, was thanks to the changes the system had brought him. "Li Zhiyan, you''re so amazing, actually owning your own milk tea shop!" "That''s really cool." Li Hui''s heart stirred with the idea, but she never entertained the thought. She knew clearly that there was a notable gap between her and Su Mengyue''s attractiveness. Su Mengyue was always talking about Li Zhiyan in the dorms. Competing with Su Mengyue was a battle without any chance of victory, and Li Hui was very aware of that. "Let me treat everyone to milk tea. Please wait a moment." Curious, Han Xueying asked, "Li Zhiyan, howe your milk tea shop is so sessful? With suchpetition around here, how did you do it?" "I was worried about your milk tea shop not doing well before, but it seems I underestimated you." Li Zhiyan''s milk tea shop had indeed faced some setbacks. Chapter 166: 097 Fang Zhiya Wants to Have a Daughter! Million Savings Goal is Close at Hand_5 For instance, they suffered difficulties handed down by Chief Yin, who wouldn''t help them expedite the business license process. But he solved those problems on his own and managed to do so in such a short amount of time¡ªit really was miraculous! "Of course, if it''s a trade secret, you don''t have to answer." Li Zhiyan said with a smile, "It''s not a big deal, it''s actually just marketing..." "There are many methods of marketing." "I chose some that were easier to implement." What followed was a bunch of usible-sounding nonsense thatcked any actionable angle. If it weren''t for the system, she would never have bothered opening a milk tea shop in such a ce. "Plus aplete information chain in marketing." "So the milk tea shop''s business picked up. That''s probably the principle." Han Xueying looked at Li Zhiyan, and suddenly her heart skipped inexplicably faster! This kid, he''s really talented. And Su Mengyue''s cheeks grew even redder¡ªhe''s so talented. No wonder he had such charisma during his speech at the first ss meeting. Such strong charisma must stem from internal confidence. Like Li Zhiyan¡ªhis internal confidence must be off the charts. Being so wealthy and talented, his life must be filled with girls. Soon, it was their turn to queue up. The dorm''s attention-seekers went up to order their drinks. In summer, fewer people drank milk tea, and most preferred chilled beverages instead. "I''ll have a cup of iced sour plum drink, extra ice cubes!" "Mango Pomelo Sago, extra ice!" "Give me a taro bubble milk tea, with ice cubes!" The dormitory''s attention-seekers were unabashed in their orders, while Su Mengyue awkwardly ordered an iced beverage. "Teacher Han, what would you like to drink?" "I''ll have a warm pearl milk tea." The instructor was obviously on her period. Li Zhiyan thought to himself that the weather was just too hot. It wouldn''t start cooling down until after the National Day, when Aunt Flo wasn''t visiting. Everyone preferred iced drinks then. After buying their drinks, a queue formed again. Walking home, Han Xueying couldn''t stop thinking about Li Zhiyan''s eloquent speech. His breadth of knowledge clearly far exceeded her imagination. How did he manage to achieve so much at such a young age? It seemed that except for average grades, there was nothing he didn''t know, nothing he couldn''t do! Is there really such a genius in this world? ... In the evening, after ying basketball, Li Zhiyany on his dorm bed chatting with Su Mengchen. He was in a great mood; bing a millionaire was within reach. ns for a house to honor his mother were alsoing along. Just then, Fang Zhiya sent a new message. Fang Zhiya: "Aunt Fang has prepared a surprise for you." Seeing Aunt Fang''s QQ message, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but be curious. What kind of surprise could the demure Aunt Fang have prepared for him? ... At themercial street, just off work, Fang Zhiya arrived at a women''s clothing store. She decided to make a bold attempt. Wearing white stockings... She knew Li Zhiyan liked ck stockings. But in Fang Zhiya''s mind, ck stockings were something only a certain kind of woman would wear, and she couldn''t ept it at first. However, she was too in love with Li Zhiyan, and she felt her heart truly beating for him. That heart-pounding feeling was unforgettable for Fang Zhiya. She couldn''t ept it, yet she didn''t want to disappoint her darling. So Fang Zhiya chose a middle ground. Wearing white stockings, which seemed more open than the sheer flesh-colored ones. Especially those patterned white stockings could sometimes make Fang Zhiya''s face blush with embarrassment. After browsing around the women''s clothing store for a while... Fang Zhiya bought a pair of white stockings, worried that the shopkeeper might look at her oddly¡ªafter all, she was 42 and still wearing such things. But after seeing the shopkeeper''s nonchnt gaze, she breathed a sigh of relief. Back at home, Fang Zhiya began to shower, changing out of her long sleeves and trousers. After her shower, she put on the low-cut T-shirt, mini skirt, and high heels that Li Zhiyan liked. Sitting on the sofa... Fang Zhiya slowly took out the whitece stockings with patterns she had just bought from her bag. Looking at the white stockings that made her feel embarrassed... Fang Zhiya felt her heartbeat quicken. Oh my, how shameful... Was she really going to wear this? Gently tearing open the packaging, she took out a white stocking and slowly slipped it onto her delicate foot, pulling it up her leg. These whitece stockings were much bolderpared to the thin flesh-colored ones she''d worn before. Soon, Fang Zhiya had the whitece stocking on her left leg, and her face began to heat up even though Li Zhiyan hadn''t returned yet. This truly was a bold venture! Chapter 172: 099 Seven-day seal is over, the craziness with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom Yen Zhengjin decided to use filthy, humiliatingnguage to abuse his wife. Words like that seemed to be very satisfying. "Who do you think you are, you whore!" "Using my paycheck." "Living in my house, without me, what are you even worth!" "Filthy bitch!" "When I want you to sleep with me, you make all kinds of excuses. You''re old and ugly, yet you really think you''re a fairy. With my ie, I can find women anywhere!" Having just returned home, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t control himself and immediately started furiously cursing at Jiang Xian. He didn''t want to think too much anymore, he just wanted to crazily vent his emotions. "Yen Zhengjin, have you lost your mind!" Jiang Xian also hadn''t expected him to be like a madman. At noon he had still talked about needing tomunicate properly, but upon returning, he directly unleashed a tirade of abuse at her. The words he spat were incredibly insulting. This caused Jiang Xian''s heart to start copsing, wondering why her life had turned into such a mess. At this moment, she was on the verge of breaking down. Yen Zhengjin showed no signs of sympathy for Jiang Xian at all. After taking out a pill from his bag, he grabbed a cup of water and swallowed it down. "Now, either you crawl on your knees to me, or you roll out of my house!" "An old woman, really thinks she''s something special!" "You whore, bitch!" Continuously hurling filthy words at Jiang Xian, Yen Zhengjin felt a perverse sense of satisfaction. The irritation from losing thirty thousand yuan also dissipated quite a bit.

Without saying a word, she returned to the master bedroom, started packing her luggage, and simply took a few clothes, including those Li Zhiyan had picked for her. When Jiang Xian left the house, she felt very estranged and disgusted with her ex-husband in front of her. This man was no longer the Yen Zhengjin who used to be her husband. Those humiliating words, they were like knives, continuously stabbing into Jiang Xian''s heart. Carrying her suitcase, she walked out the door. "You filthy bitch, once you step out of this door, don''t even think abouting back!" "Don''t ever think I''ll remarry you in the future!" Yen Zhengjin cursed angrily, bing furiously ashamed at this point as he had intended to firmly control his wife. But to his surprise, she actually left, which made Yen Zhengjin feel humiliated.

"Beauty, why are you getting a room all by yourself?" Chapter 173: 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_2 "Is there no one with you?" With the owner asking this, a feeling of unease faintly emerged in Jiang Xian''s heart. Still, she calmly replied, "My husband ising in a bit." As she spoke, she picked up the room card. Jiang Xian went upstairs. There seemed to be many tenants here, and she thought the owner probably wouldn''t dare to do anything. After reaching the second floor and seeing the subpar hygiene, Jiang Xian began to regret her decision. But she had already spent the money on the room; it would be a waste not to use it. Once inside her room, the first thing she did was lock the door from the inside to prevent anyone from entering. The owner had made Jiang Xian very wary. Just as Jiang Xian had ascended the stairs, Li Zhiyan walked in. "Staying the night?" "I''m here to meet someone. You go about your business." The manager didn''t think much of it; it was verymon for people to meet up nowadays. As someone running a hotel, he was used to overhearing all kinds of strange noises in the corridors and had grown indifferent to them. This nearly six-foot student was clearly here for a rendezvous. The manager fetched a screwdriver from under the counter and headed for the second floor, instructing a receptionist to take over the front desk. Just now, the room he had rented to Fang Zhiya was at the very end of the corridor, quiet and out of the way for his business. He hurried to Jiang Xian''s door and gently knocked. "Beauty, let''s get to know each other," he said. "I''m the owner here, the whole three-story hotel is mine." "I have another hotel over on Fuqing Street." He knew he wasn''t much to look at. So he had to impress this stunning beauty with his wealth. Tonight, he intended to have a passionate encounter. "Why are you telling me all this? Get away from my door," she demanded. Jiang Xian felt truly frightened now; the room was too close to the corner. She hadn''t thought much about it upon arrival, but she now realized how many safety hazards there were. "Beauty, let''s get acquainted," he persisted. He took out a key and tried to unlock the door. But the chain was fastened on the inside, so he could only open a small crack. "Get out!" "Get out!" Jiang Xian was terrified, never expecting such an incident in a hotel. The manager produced a screwdriver. "Beauty, this is my house, so whether I go in or out is for me to decide," he imed. He intended to forcibly break the chain lock. But suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his waist. Discover worlds on m-v le-mpyr He was sent flying by a tremendous force. The person who had struck, naturally, was Li Zhiyan... Li Zhiyan was ruthless with the manager, kicking him into a wall from which he crumbled down. Li Zhiyan then delivered two more kicks. He even knocked out two of the man''s teeth. This manager had some local influence and wasn''t ustomed to being humiliated like this. Just as he was about to call for help, Li Zhiyan kicked him in the head, instantly knocking him unconscious. Li Zhiyan took a fervent approach to intervener against such a criminal, sparing no mercy, and internally, he felt an uncontroble surge of gratification. "Auntie Jiang, are you alright?" In the room, Jiang Xian wondered if she had heard wrong, at her most frightened and helpless. Li Zhiyan''s voice was there! How could this kid be in such a ce? Thest time she was upset at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe, he was there too; what was going on? "Xiao Yan, why are you here?" She hurriedly opened the door and pulled Li Zhiyan inside the room, worried that the owner might harm Li Zhiyan. But seeing the already unconscious manager on the ground, Jiang Xian finally eased her worries... "Auntie Jiang, we should leave here first. This ce is full of his people; staying longer could cause trouble," Li Zhiyan suggested. Such riffraff indeed shouldn''t be provoked. Although Li Zhiyan wasn''t afraid, it was still better not to linger in such ces. "Okay, let''s go quickly." Li Zhiyan grabbed Jiang Xian''s suitcase and took her hand to go downstairs. The receptionist downstairs gave them an odd look but didn''t ask too many questions. After walking hand in hand past a street, Jiang Xian''s heart was still pounding; the recent events were too perilous forfort. The thought alone was terrifying. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "Xiao Yan, how did you happen to be here?" Jiang Xian knew that her leaving today was purely a result of the verbal and personal insults she received from Yen Zhengjin. Her departure was a spontaneous event, and encountering such a hotel owner was also happenstance. The chance of meeting Li Zhiyan under such dangerous circumstances was virtually negligible. But against all odds, he had indeed rescued her. "Auntie Jiang, I returned to the inte cafe tonight," he shared. "We have a break from military training tomorrow." "Then about half an hour ago, I felt very ufortable," he confessed. At that moment, Jiang Xian''s heart rate elerated once more. Half an hour ago? Wasn''t that when Yen Zhengjin was berating her? The ugly and insulting words he used were all directed at her. Thinking about it now, Jiang Xian was still deeply distressed. That was the man she had shared her life with for so many years. Chapter 174: 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_3 The person I once dreamed of growing old with ended up beingbeled with words like "whore." And my pain was sensed by Li Zhiyan. Is this what they call a mother-son connection? But Li Zhiyan and I aren''t mother and son. We''re just rted as a senior and a junior, that''s all. Yet, someone so distantly rted to me, he''s so kind. "I felt upset and wanted to take a walk, and I just happened to enter this hotel," "I wanted to go up and talk to you, but then I saw that boss using a screwdriver to pry the door open." "So I went up and gave him a kick." Li Zhiyan''s narration left Jiang Xian at a loss for words, but she was grateful for his presence. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t know what to do. "Xiao Yan, thank you, I''m so d you were here, otherwise Auntie might have been in big trouble this time." A sense of grievance welled up, and Jiang Xian couldn''t help but shed tears. "Auntie Jiang, don''t cry." "Don''t be sad, I''m here to keep youpany, aren''t I?" "Let''s go to a hotel first, this time a bigger one, something more standard." Jiang Xian nodded. Then Li Zhiyan took her down a few streets to the Vienna Hotel. The clerk was a bit surprised when registering their IDs, but said nothing. In this era, it''s toomon for an 18-year-old and a 41-year-old woman to check into a hotel. Some wealthy men in their fifties are still bringing in 18-year-old girls to stay at hotels. In today''s society, such things are no longer surprising. ... Once in the room, Jiang Xian finally settled down; she too got carried away by her emotions earlier. So she just wanted to find a ce to rest quickly. The ce was quite spacious as well, so she didn''t think much of it. But then that incident happened. "Xiao Yan, Auntie really thanks you." "I truly wouldn''t know what to do without you." Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian''s hand. The two sat down on the couch and gazed at the distant scenery from beside the window. At this time, the suburbs of Wancheng were still quite deste, but everywhere was being developed for real estate. "Auntie Jiang." "I''ve always said it," "We two are bound by fate; I can always feel when you are sad and troubled." Jiang Xian couldn''t help but nod. "Xiao Yan, Auntie and you do indeed share a fate." One coincidence after another, how could it not be fate? "Auntie Jiang, what exactly happened with Mr. Yen? Did you fight again? I can tell your mood is really bad." Jiang Xian had grown ustomed to Li Zhiyan''s reluctance to address him as a teacher. Yen Zhengjin wasn''t really a good teacher, so it was normal for Li Zhiyan to dislike him. "He wanted to reconcile with me at noon today." "At that moment, I considered reconciling with him." "But then, in the evening," "when he returned home, he started to insult me; those words, they were utterly vulgar." "Old and ugly, whor¡ª" Jiang Xian couldn''t bring herself to finish the word, and as she thought about it, she started to cry. Li Zhiyan instinctively wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian''s waist. Then he held her, letting her cry in his arms. "Xiao Yan, Auntie feels so wronged..." Feeling her trembling, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes and patted Jiang Xian''s back, soothing her emotions. He wanted Jiang Xian to quickly recover from such emotional turmoil. At the same time, he expressed 20 points of respect for Auntie Jiang. Jiang Xian felt Li Zhiyan''s warmth and kept crying. After about fifteen minutes, the feelings of grievance and discontent in her heart werepletely vented out. She bashfully left his embrace. Jiang Xian said with a shy voice, "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan." "You''re just a kid, and here I am, crying in your arms." Li Zhiyan held onto Jiang Xian''s smooth jade hand, reluctant to let go. "What ''just a kid'' are you talking about?" "Auntie Jiang, when you''re vulnerable, I am your support." At that moment, Jiang Xian''s tears couldn''t stop flowing again. "Alright..." "Auntie will take a shower first." Covered in sweat, Jiang Xian, who loved cleanliness, found it somewhat unbearable. "Then, Auntie Jiang, I promise not to look that way, I''ll just enjoy the scenery." Keep reading on m,vl-em|p-yr The hotel''s ss was frosted, giving a semi-transparent feel, and one could vaguely see some outlines through it. Fang Zhiya had also taken a shower in such a ce before... But at that time, Li Zhiyan went out. This time, Li Zhiyan just wanted to look at the scenery outside the window. Jiang Xian also noticed this and clenched her hand before entering the bathroom with a towel. After all, in her heart, she only thought of Li Zhiyan as a kid. Being seen as a shadowy figure by a kid, it''s not a big deal. Especially since the ss isn''t fully transparent. Jiang Xian keptforting herself internally, and her heart rxed quite a bit. ... When Jiang Xian changed into the hotel''s disposable pajamas and came out of the bathroom, Li Zhiyan couldn''t take his eyes off her. Auntie Jiang''s body is really great, he guessed Yen Zhengjin must be inadequate. That''s why he had spoken such words to denigrate Auntie Jiang, preserving what little self-esteem he had. It had to be like this... Li Zhiyan guessed as such inwardly, understanding men all too well. No man with normal capabilities would ever tell such tant lies. "Auntie Jiang, I want to go take a shower too." The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 175 : 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_4 "It''s so hot..." "Okay... you can go." I had already taken a bath; letting a child take one too wasn''t a big deal, after all, no one likes the feeling of being drenched in sweat. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also went to the bathroom for a shower. Seeing the silhouette on the frosted ss, Jiang Xian turned her head away, feeling a bit scared in her heart. It was only after Li Zhiyan came out in a disposable bathrobe. That she turned her head back, Xiao Yan, it''s really frightening. "Auntie Jiang, we''re wearing matching clothes like a couple, right?" Jiang Xian said with a smile, "What couple? I''m 23 years older than you." "I''m your elder, it''spletely inappropriate to describe us with that word." Li Zhiyan wasn''t thinking about what was appropriate or not. "Auntie Jiang, actually, we could be a couple." Li Zhiyan stepped forward and took Jiang Xian''s hand. The two sat down on the sofa again. "It''s not okay, Xiao Yan..." Suddenly, Jiang Xian felt a nervous emotion in her heart. "Auntie Jiang, why isn''t it okay? I''m a man, you''re a woman." "I''m single, and so are you." "Both of us can have babies." "How could we not be a couple?" Jiang Xian felt that she still could not ept this possibility. When she was 23, he had just been born, and now he wanted to be her boyfriend. Moreover, he had previously joked with her about this. Now, Jiang Xian felt in her heart that Li Zhiyan might really have such thoughts. That''s why he brought it up so frequently. "In any case, it''s just not possible," "I''m too much older than you." "In my heart, I truly see you as a child who has only recently be an adult." Li Zhiyan slowly leaned in closer. "Well then..." "I was just joking." Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss. "By the way, Auntie Jiang." "I want to give you a kiss." "Kissing is not allowed..." Jiang Xian blurted out instinctively. "Auntie Jiang, I just want to kiss you, not do anything else." "Is even a kiss not allowed? You regard me as your junior, as a child, don''t you?" Although she had just be an adult, since Auntie Jiang called him a child, he could also use this identity to do some things. Jiang Xian''s heartbeat started to elerate. She remembered how she and Li Zhiyan had kissed at the front door of the house, and they were almost discovered by neighbors. Thinking back, Jiang Xian still felt shy. "Okay, fine..." As soon as Jiang Xian finished speaking, Li Zhiyan kissed her on the cheek. "Auntie Jiang, I also want to kiss..." Looking at Jiang Xian''s red lips, Li Zhiyan was struggling to control his emotions. "Kissing is not allowed..." "Auntie Jiang, have you forgotten? We only yed a game when we went to thepetitionst time." "So this is just a game, not kissing." Li Zhiyan''s absurd logic never stopped. Just as Jiang Xian was about to retort, she felt a warm sensation on her lips. Li Zhiyan had already kissed her. "Xiao Yan..." "Mmm..." Jiang Xian, unable to speak with her mouth covered, tried to push Li Zhiyan away but was held tightly by him. At first, Jiang Xian was resisting symbolically. Butter on, she subconsciously began responding to Li Zhiyan. The kisssted for a long time before they parted. "Xiao Yan, you''re bad..." Jiang Xian''s face was flushed. "Auntie Jiang, we''ve kissed before." "So there''s nothing wrong with kissing now." "The fact that we''ve kissed has already been established, so how many times we do it makes no difference." "I''d like to kiss you often in the future, would that be okay?" "Auntie Jiang..." "Would that be okay?" Jiang Xian had not expected Li Zhiyan to make such a request to her; it was too embarrassing. A woman in her forties kissing him, how absurd. "It''s not possible... I see you as a junior. Kissing shouldn''t happen." "Auntie Jiang, please..." Li Zhiyan took hold of Jiang Xian''s hand, then moved forward and pressed against her. "Auntie Jiang, please, I''ve never kissed a girl." "You finally let me experience what kissing is like." "I have no one to kiss now, and it feels very ufortable." Jiang Xian also felt something was not right; this was rted to Li Zhiyan''s mental and physical health. "Xiao Yan, get up first..." "I promise you." When Jiang Xian agreed to kiss him, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but feel ted. This was a significant change; from now on, he could kiss Auntie Jiang whenever he wanted. Many things would be much more convenient. Their rtionship would definitely improve drastically. "Thank you, Auntie Jiang, you''re so nice..." After getting up, the blush on Jiang Xian''s face spread rapidly. She could hardly believe that a student from her ex-husband''s ss had kissed her today. And she had even agreed that he could often kiss her in the future. What had she done? She must have panicked after feeling Li Zhiyan''s respect. Jiang Xian thought to herself... "I can kiss you," "But we can''t do anything else." "I''m only doing this for your mental and physical health." "Also, if I get remarried in the future, we can''t do this anymore." "Because kissing counts as cheating." Jiang Xian knew that her rtionship with Yen Zhengjin was not going to be easy. Her parents, his parents, and the children involved made it a veryplicated matter. Chapter 172: 099 Seven-day seal is over, the craziness with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom Yen Zhengjin decided to use filthy, humiliatingnguage to abuse his wife. Words like that seemed to be very satisfying. "Who do you think you are, you whore!" "Using my paycheck." "Living in my house, without me, what are you even worth!" "Filthy bitch!" "When I want you to sleep with me, you make all kinds of excuses. You''re old and ugly, yet you really think you''re a fairy. With my ie, I can find women anywhere!" Having just returned home, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t control himself and immediately started furiously cursing at Jiang Xian. He didn''t want to think too much anymore, he just wanted to crazily vent his emotions. "Yen Zhengjin, have you lost your mind!" Jiang Xian also hadn''t expected him to be like a madman. At noon he had still talked about needing tomunicate properly, but upon returning, he directly unleashed a tirade of abuse at her. The words he spat were incredibly insulting. This caused Jiang Xian''s heart to start copsing, wondering why her life had turned into such a mess. At this moment, she was on the verge of breaking down. Yen Zhengjin showed no signs of sympathy for Jiang Xian at all. After taking out a pill from his bag, he grabbed a cup of water and swallowed it down. "Now, either you crawl on your knees to me, or you roll out of my house!" "An old woman, really thinks she''s something special!" "You whore, bitch!" Continuously hurling filthy words at Jiang Xian, Yen Zhengjin felt a perverse sense of satisfaction. The irritation from losing thirty thousand yuan also dissipated quite a bit. The feeling of being able to freely vent his emotions was truly exhrating... Verbally abusing his wife who acted so dignified in front of others on regr days was a thrilling thought. Afterward, Yen Zhengjin waited for his wife to kneel before him. Even though the division of property in a divorce would be split evenly, most of the money in the bank was in his hands. Without his consent, she couldn''t take it. She didn''t have much money on her, and without him, she would no longer be able to live the affluent life she was used to now. So Yen Zhengjin was very confident that his soon-to-be-ex-wife, woulde crawling to him, kneeling at his feet. However, quite clearly, Jiang Xian disappointed him. Without saying a word, she returned to the master bedroom, started packing her luggage, and simply took a few clothes, including those Li Zhiyan had picked for her. When Jiang Xian left the house, she felt very estranged and disgusted with her ex-husband in front of her. This man was no longer the Yen Zhengjin who used to be her husband. Those humiliating words, they were like knives, continuously stabbing into Jiang Xian''s heart. Carrying her suitcase, she walked out the door. "You filthy bitch, once you step out of this door, don''t even think abouting back!" "Don''t ever think I''ll remarry you in the future!" Yen Zhengjin cursed angrily, bing furiously ashamed at this point as he had intended to firmly control his wife. But to his surprise, she actually left, which made Yen Zhengjin feel humiliated. However, no matter how he abused and insulted Jiang Xian, she left without looking back. It was only after ten minutes or so that he went outside the residential area to see where his wife was. But looking all around, he couldn''t find her. ncing at the arcade across the street, he felt his gambling urgeing back again. "Go y a few thousand on the slot machines." "Maybe this way I could win it back." He took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of unabashed greed. ... At that time, Li Zhiyan, who was gaming, also quit the game. Auntie Jiang was going to the motel, so he had to keep an eye on her to be at ease. The same issue again, his possessiveness was strong. "Li Shiyu, you enjoy yourself here." "I''ve got something to attend to, I''m leaving first." Li Shiyu felt a bit reluctant as after starting college, the opportunities to game together had indeed decreased. "When will I be able to continue gaming with you?" He patted him on the shoulder. "No big deal." "After the military training ends, we''ll being home every normal Sunday." "Every two days a week isn''t enough." Li Shiyu was then reassured somewhat. "That''s enough, go ahead, I''ll check out The Legend of Sword and Fairy." There was a moment of daze in Li Zhiyan''s heart. Love Apartment and The Legend of Sword and Fairy, this year, both are quite new TV series, it''s good to be back. On the way, he suddenly thought of something. His progress with Aunt Fang could be swift. The storybook he previously read was indispensable. So, this time he could also sneakily leave a storybook for Auntie Jiang to read. Passing by a dor store, he went in to look. He actually found a touching story about a student and a teacher''s wife. After spending two yuan to buy it, he stuffed the storybook into his pocket. Upon arriving at the motel, Li Zhiyan saw Jiang Xian entering the hotel and gazed at Auntie Jiang''s graceful figure. Li Zhiyan''s heart heated up. She was already divorced, so he could legitimately get her pregnant in the future. Auntie Jiang seemed to just want a second child. Then, he would have to lend a hand. "A room," Jiang Xian said to the front desk manager, who had trouble taking his eyes off her while checking her in. This milf was truly stunning. Not only was she beautiful with fair skin, but her figure was also incredibly perfect. If he could hook up with her tonight, wouldn''t that be utterly blissful? "Beauty, why are you getting a room all by yourself?" Chapter 173: 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_2 "Is there no one with you?" With the owner asking this, a feeling of unease faintly emerged in Jiang Xian''s heart. Still, she calmly replied, "My husband ising in a bit." As she spoke, she picked up the room card. Jiang Xian went upstairs. There seemed to be many tenants here, and she thought the owner probably wouldn''t dare to do anything. After reaching the second floor and seeing the subpar hygiene, Jiang Xian began to regret her decision. But she had already spent the money on the room; it would be a waste not to use it. Once inside her room, the first thing she did was lock the door from the inside to prevent anyone from entering. The owner had made Jiang Xian very wary. Just as Jiang Xian had ascended the stairs, Li Zhiyan walked in. "Staying the night?" "I''m here to meet someone. You go about your business." The manager didn''t think much of it; it was verymon for people to meet up nowadays. As someone running a hotel, he was used to overhearing all kinds of strange noises in the corridors and had grown indifferent to them. This nearly six-foot student was clearly here for a rendezvous. The manager fetched a screwdriver from under the counter and headed for the second floor, instructing a receptionist to take over the front desk. Just now, the room he had rented to Fang Zhiya was at the very end of the corridor, quiet and out of the way for his business. He hurried to Jiang Xian''s door and gently knocked. "Beauty, let''s get to know each other," he said. "I''m the owner here, the whole three-story hotel is mine." "I have another hotel over on Fuqing Street." He knew he wasn''t much to look at. So he had to impress this stunning beauty with his wealth. Tonight, he intended to have a passionate encounter. "Why are you telling me all this? Get away from my door," she demanded. Jiang Xian felt truly frightened now; the room was too close to the corner. She hadn''t thought much about it upon arrival, but she now realized how many safety hazards there were. "Beauty, let''s get acquainted," he persisted. He took out a key and tried to unlock the door. But the chain was fastened on the inside, so he could only open a small crack. "Get out!" "Get out!" Jiang Xian was terrified, never expecting such an incident in a hotel. The manager produced a screwdriver. "Beauty, this is my house, so whether I go in or out is for me to decide," he imed. He intended to forcibly break the chain lock. But suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his waist. He was sent flying by a tremendous force. The person who had struck, naturally, was Li Zhiyan... Li Zhiyan was ruthless with the manager, kicking him into a wall from which he crumbled down. Li Zhiyan then delivered two more kicks. He even knocked out two of the man''s teeth. This manager had some local influence and wasn''t ustomed to being humiliated like this. Just as he was about to call for help, Li Zhiyan kicked him in the head, instantly knocking him unconscious. Li Zhiyan took a fervent approach to intervener against such a criminal, sparing no mercy, and internally, he felt an uncontroble surge of gratification. "Auntie Jiang, are you alright?" In the room, Jiang Xian wondered if she had heard wrong, at her most frightened and helpless. Li Zhiyan''s voice was there! How could this kid be in such a ce? Thest time she was upset at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe, he was there too; what was going on? "Xiao Yan, why are you here?" She hurriedly opened the door and pulled Li Zhiyan inside the room, worried that the owner might harm Li Zhiyan. But seeing the already unconscious manager on the ground, Jiang Xian finally eased her worries... "Auntie Jiang, we should leave here first. This ce is full of his people; staying longer could cause trouble," Li Zhiyan suggested. Such riffraff indeed shouldn''t be provoked. Although Li Zhiyan wasn''t afraid, it was still better not to linger in such ces. "Okay, let''s go quickly." Li Zhiyan grabbed Jiang Xian''s suitcase and took her hand to go downstairs. The receptionist downstairs gave them an odd look but didn''t ask too many questions. After walking hand in hand past a street, Jiang Xian''s heart was still pounding; the recent events were too perilous forfort. The thought alone was terrifying. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "Xiao Yan, how did you happen to be here?" Jiang Xian knew that her leaving today was purely a result of the verbal and personal insults she received from Yen Zhengjin. Her departure was a spontaneous event, and encountering such a hotel owner was also happenstance. The chance of meeting Li Zhiyan under such dangerous circumstances was virtually negligible. But against all odds, he had indeed rescued her. "Auntie Jiang, I returned to the inte cafe tonight," he shared. "We have a break from military training tomorrow." "Then about half an hour ago, I felt very ufortable," he confessed. At that moment, Jiang Xian''s heart rate elerated once more. Half an hour ago? Wasn''t that when Yen Zhengjin was berating her? The ugly and insulting words he used were all directed at her. Thinking about it now, Jiang Xian was still deeply distressed. That was the man she had shared her life with for so many years. Chapter 174: 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_3 The person I once dreamed of growing old with ended up beingbeled with words like "whore." And my pain was sensed by Li Zhiyan. Is this what they call a mother-son connection? But Li Zhiyan and I aren''t mother and son. We''re just rted as a senior and a junior, that''s all. Yet, someone so distantly rted to me, he''s so kind. "I felt upset and wanted to take a walk, and I just happened to enter this hotel," "I wanted to go up and talk to you, but then I saw that boss using a screwdriver to pry the door open." "So I went up and gave him a kick." Li Zhiyan''s narration left Jiang Xian at a loss for words, but she was grateful for his presence. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t know what to do. "Xiao Yan, thank you, I''m so d you were here, otherwise Auntie might have been in big trouble this time." A sense of grievance welled up, and Jiang Xian couldn''t help but shed tears. "Auntie Jiang, don''t cry." "Don''t be sad, I''m here to keep youpany, aren''t I?" "Let''s go to a hotel first, this time a bigger one, something more standard." Jiang Xian nodded. Then Li Zhiyan took her down a few streets to the Vienna Hotel. The clerk was a bit surprised when registering their IDs, but said nothing. In this era, it''s toomon for an 18-year-old and a 41-year-old woman to check into a hotel. Some wealthy men in their fifties are still bringing in 18-year-old girls to stay at hotels. In today''s society, such things are no longer surprising. ... Once in the room, Jiang Xian finally settled down; she too got carried away by her emotions earlier. So she just wanted to find a ce to rest quickly. The ce was quite spacious as well, so she didn''t think much of it. But then that incident happened. "Xiao Yan, Auntie really thanks you." "I truly wouldn''t know what to do without you." Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian''s hand. The two sat down on the couch and gazed at the distant scenery from beside the window. At this time, the suburbs of Wancheng were still quite deste, but everywhere was being developed for real estate. "Auntie Jiang." "I''ve always said it," "We two are bound by fate; I can always feel when you are sad and troubled." Jiang Xian couldn''t help but nod. "Xiao Yan, Auntie and you do indeed share a fate." One coincidence after another, how could it not be fate? "Auntie Jiang, what exactly happened with Mr. Yen? Did you fight again? I can tell your mood is really bad." Jiang Xian had grown ustomed to Li Zhiyan''s reluctance to address him as a teacher. Yen Zhengjin wasn''t really a good teacher, so it was normal for Li Zhiyan to dislike him. "He wanted to reconcile with me at noon today." "At that moment, I considered reconciling with him." "But then, in the evening," "when he returned home, he started to insult me; those words, they were utterly vulgar." "Old and ugly, whor¡ª" Jiang Xian couldn''t bring herself to finish the word, and as she thought about it, she started to cry. Li Zhiyan instinctively wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian''s waist. Then he held her, letting her cry in his arms. "Xiao Yan, Auntie feels so wronged..." Feeling her trembling, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes and patted Jiang Xian''s back, soothing her emotions. He wanted Jiang Xian to quickly recover from such emotional turmoil. At the same time, he expressed 20 points of respect for Auntie Jiang. Jiang Xian felt Li Zhiyan''s warmth and kept crying. After about fifteen minutes, the feelings of grievance and discontent in her heart werepletely vented out. She bashfully left his embrace. Jiang Xian said with a shy voice, "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan." "You''re just a kid, and here I am, crying in your arms." Li Zhiyan held onto Jiang Xian''s smooth jade hand, reluctant to let go. "What ''just a kid'' are you talking about?" "Auntie Jiang, when you''re vulnerable, I am your support." At that moment, Jiang Xian''s tears couldn''t stop flowing again. "Alright..." "Auntie will take a shower first." Covered in sweat, Jiang Xian, who loved cleanliness, found it somewhat unbearable. "Then, Auntie Jiang, I promise not to look that way, I''ll just enjoy the scenery." The hotel''s ss was frosted, giving a semi-transparent feel, and one could vaguely see some outlines through it. Fang Zhiya had also taken a shower in such a ce before... But at that time, Li Zhiyan went out. This time, Li Zhiyan just wanted to look at the scenery outside the window. Jiang Xian also noticed this and clenched her hand before entering the bathroom with a towel. After all, in her heart, she only thought of Li Zhiyan as a kid. Being seen as a shadowy figure by a kid, it''s not a big deal. Especially since the ss isn''t fully transparent. Jiang Xian keptforting herself internally, and her heart rxed quite a bit. ... When Jiang Xian changed into the hotel''s disposable pajamas and came out of the bathroom, Li Zhiyan couldn''t take his eyes off her. Auntie Jiang''s body is really great, he guessed Yen Zhengjin must be inadequate. That''s why he had spoken such words to denigrate Auntie Jiang, preserving what little self-esteem he had. It had to be like this... Li Zhiyan guessed as such inwardly, understanding men all too well. No man with normal capabilities would ever tell such tant lies. "Auntie Jiang, I want to go take a shower too." Chapter 175 : 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_4 "It''s so hot..." "Okay... you can go." I had already taken a bath; letting a child take one too wasn''t a big deal, after all, no one likes the feeling of being drenched in sweat. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also went to the bathroom for a shower. Seeing the silhouette on the frosted ss, Jiang Xian turned her head away, feeling a bit scared in her heart. It was only after Li Zhiyan came out in a disposable bathrobe. That she turned her head back, Xiao Yan, it''s really frightening. "Auntie Jiang, we''re wearing matching clothes like a couple, right?" Jiang Xian said with a smile, "What couple? I''m 23 years older than you." "I''m your elder, it''spletely inappropriate to describe us with that word." Li Zhiyan wasn''t thinking about what was appropriate or not. "Auntie Jiang, actually, we could be a couple." Li Zhiyan stepped forward and took Jiang Xian''s hand. The two sat down on the sofa again. "It''s not okay, Xiao Yan..." Suddenly, Jiang Xian felt a nervous emotion in her heart. "Auntie Jiang, why isn''t it okay? I''m a man, you''re a woman." "I''m single, and so are you." "Both of us can have babies." "How could we not be a couple?" Jiang Xian felt that she still could not ept this possibility. When she was 23, he had just been born, and now he wanted to be her boyfriend. Moreover, he had previously joked with her about this. Now, Jiang Xian felt in her heart that Li Zhiyan might really have such thoughts. That''s why he brought it up so frequently. "In any case, it''s just not possible," "I''m too much older than you." "In my heart, I truly see you as a child who has only recently be an adult." Li Zhiyan slowly leaned in closer. "Well then..." "I was just joking." Jiang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss. "By the way, Auntie Jiang." "I want to give you a kiss." "Kissing is not allowed..." Jiang Xian blurted out instinctively. "Auntie Jiang, I just want to kiss you, not do anything else." "Is even a kiss not allowed? You regard me as your junior, as a child, don''t you?" Although she had just be an adult, since Auntie Jiang called him a child, he could also use this identity to do some things. Jiang Xian''s heartbeat started to elerate. She remembered how she and Li Zhiyan had kissed at the front door of the house, and they were almost discovered by neighbors. Thinking back, Jiang Xian still felt shy. "Okay, fine..." As soon as Jiang Xian finished speaking, Li Zhiyan kissed her on the cheek. "Auntie Jiang, I also want to kiss..." Looking at Jiang Xian''s red lips, Li Zhiyan was struggling to control his emotions. "Kissing is not allowed..." "Auntie Jiang, have you forgotten? We only yed a game when we went to thepetitionst time." "So this is just a game, not kissing." Li Zhiyan''s absurd logic never stopped. Just as Jiang Xian was about to retort, she felt a warm sensation on her lips. Li Zhiyan had already kissed her. "Xiao Yan..." "Mmm..." Jiang Xian, unable to speak with her mouth covered, tried to push Li Zhiyan away but was held tightly by him. At first, Jiang Xian was resisting symbolically. Butter on, she subconsciously began responding to Li Zhiyan. The kisssted for a long time before they parted. "Xiao Yan, you''re bad..." Jiang Xian''s face was flushed. "Auntie Jiang, we''ve kissed before." "So there''s nothing wrong with kissing now." "The fact that we''ve kissed has already been established, so how many times we do it makes no difference." "I''d like to kiss you often in the future, would that be okay?" "Auntie Jiang..." "Would that be okay?" Jiang Xian had not expected Li Zhiyan to make such a request to her; it was too embarrassing. A woman in her forties kissing him, how absurd. "It''s not possible... I see you as a junior. Kissing shouldn''t happen." "Auntie Jiang, please..." Li Zhiyan took hold of Jiang Xian''s hand, then moved forward and pressed against her. "Auntie Jiang, please, I''ve never kissed a girl." "You finally let me experience what kissing is like." "I have no one to kiss now, and it feels very ufortable." Jiang Xian also felt something was not right; this was rted to Li Zhiyan''s mental and physical health. "Xiao Yan, get up first..." "I promise you." When Jiang Xian agreed to kiss him, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but feel ted. This was a significant change; from now on, he could kiss Auntie Jiang whenever he wanted. Many things would be much more convenient. Their rtionship would definitely improve drastically. "Thank you, Auntie Jiang, you''re so nice..." After getting up, the blush on Jiang Xian''s face spread rapidly. She could hardly believe that a student from her ex-husband''s ss had kissed her today. And she had even agreed that he could often kiss her in the future. What had she done? She must have panicked after feeling Li Zhiyan''s respect. Jiang Xian thought to herself... "I can kiss you," "But we can''t do anything else." "I''m only doing this for your mental and physical health." "Also, if I get remarried in the future, we can''t do this anymore." "Because kissing counts as cheating." Jiang Xian knew that her rtionship with Yen Zhengjin was not going to be easy. Her parents, his parents, and the children involved made it a veryplicated matter. Chapter 176 : 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_5 ``` In the end, I''ll probably remarry him, but I''ll never let him into my room again, unless he really does something thatpletely breaks my heart. Only then will I nevere home again. But now, I won''t be able to speak with him for over half a year. What he said was really too much. "I understand, Auntie Jiang." "Then, while we kiss, can I do something else?" Li Zhiyan looked at Jiang Xian''s buttons. Jiang Xian quickly said, "Of course not." "Xiao Yan, it''s already very inappropriate for your aunt to kiss you." "We really can''t do anything else." Jiang Xian''s tone was very serious. For her, some things were ultimately uneptable. "Then, Auntie Jiang, may I touch your leg?" "I think your legs are so beautiful." "No..." Jiang Xian still refused, and now she was really a bit worried. Wondering if she might do something inappropriate. She was 41, Li Zhiyan was 20; some things, once they happen, there''s no going back. "Auntie Jiang, please..." While saying so, Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian. "Xiao Yan, what are you doing..." "Didn''t you say, Auntie Jiang, that we can kiss often?" Saying this, Li Zhiyan took further action. And Jiang Xian could only respond to Li Zhiyan. A few minutester, he ended the kiss. "Auntie Jiang, is it okay..." "No..." Jiang Xian was still very firm. But Li Zhiyan kept kissing Jiang Xian back and forth. And after every kiss, he asked if he could touch her leg. This left Jiang Xian feeling quite helpless, and she covered her mouth, unable to hold back herughter. "Enough! You little rascal." "From now on, your aunt can let you touch her legs, but that''s all we can do." "That''s great, Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to feel Jiang Xian''sbeautiful legs through her bathrobe. He felt like he was in a dream. Never imagined he could kiss Auntie Jiang. And even touch her beautiful legs for a whole day. Afterward, Li Zhiyan began to exercise the two rights he had fought for. ... Half an hourter, Li Zhiyan said goodbye to a flush-faced Jiang Xian. Before he left, he subtly set down the book from The Story Club. "Auntie Jiang, I''m leaving now." He dared not do too much; after all, these aunties were all born around the ''70s. Their inner thoughts were still too traditional; his impulsiveness might work for the moment, but afterward, it''s probably going to result in never seeing each other again. Li Zhiyan wanted her heart and everything. "Hmm..." Jiang Xian''s voice was almost inaudible. After the sound of the automatic lock, Jiang Xian looked at her fingers. ... Walking on the street, Li Zhiyan nced at his savings. 960,000; round it up a bit, and he was now a bona fide millionaire. "Let''s go home and tell mom about buying a house." Because Li Zhiyan didn''t tell Zhou Rongrong he wasing home, the moment he arrived, it was clear from his mother''s face that she was full of surprise and delight. "Son, do you seem so much taller to me?" "You must be 180 by now!" Moms always see their children in the best light. Li Zhiyan''s height, which was previously just under 173, also appeared perfect to Zhou Rongrong. But now, in Zhou Rongrong''s heart, the perfect height had grown from 173 to 180! "I grew taller during military training; surprise, huh?" "Yes, mom is really surprised..." "My son not only grew taller but also became more handsome." "Xiao Yan, are you hungry? Mom will make you some supper." "Now that you mention it, mom, I am a bit hungry." That night, Li Zhiyan had only had a simple boxed meal at an inte caf¨¦. It had been so long since he tasted his mother''s cooking... Li Zhiyan was indeed craving it. "Okay, good boy." Half an hourter, Zhou Rongrong served several dishes on the dining table, and Li Zhiyan devoured them. In this world, nothing tastes better than mom''s cooking; everyone else is just a bitcking. "Mom, I want to tell you something." "Don''t worry, it''s good news." Zhou Rongrong watched her son eat, her face brimming with happiness. "What is it, son? Are you with that girl named Su Mengchen now?" In Zhou Rongrong''s heart, that seemed like the only thing it could be. "No, mom, I''m still pursuing Chenchen." "You''re calling her Chenchen, seems like you really like this girl." Zhou Rongrong could tell how much her son liked this girl. She touched Li Zhiyan''s head with eyes full of maternal love, feeling more and more proud of him. "I wanted to tell you that I have money now, and I want to take you to look at houses. When are you free? We could go house hunting and then we won''t have to live in an old rental like this." This time, Zhou Rongrong waspletely stunned. Her son wanted to buy a house! "Xiao Yan, you''re not joking with mom, are you?" "Of course not..." Li Zhiyan showed his phone to Zhou Rongrong so she could see the bnce of his bank ount. At the sight of Li Zhiyan''s bnce, Zhou Rongrong covered her mouth. Her pretty face was filled with disbelief; her son had be so sessful! After a long while, Zhou Rongrong, now slightlyposed, said, "Xiao Yan." "Buying a house is the right move. I''ve been watching and the house prices are always going up. You''ll need a house when you marry that Chenchen. In this society, it''s so hard for a guy without a house." ``` Chapter 177: 099 Seven days of sealing passed, crazy times with Fang Zhiya in the bedroom_6 Looking at his mother''s contented expression and noticeably eased mental state, Li Zhiyan felt that his recent struggle to earn the 960,000 was truly worth it! "But about buying the house, let''s do that next week. You''ll be off, and it''ll coincide with the end of your military training, so we can go and look at houses together." "I also still have over a hundred thousand yuan on hand." "Added together, it''s enough to fully pay for a very nice house." ... At night, Li Zhiyany in his room, listening to the whirring sound of the fan, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace in his heart. This time, he had the ability to protect his mother, the people he loved, and those he cared about. At that moment, the system issued a new mission. "In three days, Yen Zhengjin will boast to his friends while drunk that his wife is just an olddy in his eyes, someone he could kick out at any time." "And he''ll repeatedly insult her, saying he could easily bring an eighteen-year-old girl into his house." "Please record this covertly." "In five days, Yen Zhengjin, who has decided to leave the gambling dens behind and reform, will invite his parents and Jiang Xian''s parents to persuade Jiang Xian." "y the recording for Jiang Xian and prevent her from getting back with him." "Afterpleting the mission, you will receive a reward of one hundred thousand yuan." "You will also receive, ''Godly Handsome Looks.''" "''Godly Handsome Looks,'' taking care of your skin with facial masks daily can make you more handsome." "Until you reach the level of a male god." Li Zhiyan''s breathing quickened. Godly Handsome Looks, a height of 180 cm, coupled with Godly Handsome Looks, meant that in the future girls might approach him on the street to strike up a conversation. Discover what''s next on m-vl-em,py-r Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but feel an uncontroble excitement. He had to take on this mission! Moreover, he could use this opportunity to get closer to Auntie Jiang. After a while, Li Zhiyan resumed his QQ chat. At the same time, he also sent a message to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, has your rtive left?" Fang Zhiya: "They''ve already left." The brief four words sent Li Zhiyan''s hormones racing as if his blood was about to catch fire. He almost wished he could go back right now. But he still restrained himself, deciding to go back tomorrow morning after having a meal cooked by his mom. Li Zhiyan: "Okay, baby, I''lle back tomorrow morning. Wait for me." Fang Zhiya: "Mhm, baby, I happen to have the morning off." At this moment, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat grateful to thedy boss of thepany, for the timing of her rest day was just perfect. ... The next day after waking up, Zhou Rongrong still made a table full of dishes for Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, eat slowly. Mom has to go to work now." After hugging her precious son, Zhou Rongrong left home, her heart brimming with hope and anticipation for the future. After finishing breakfast, Li Zhiyan took a taxi back to the home he shared with Fang Zhiya. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fang Zhiya standing there waiting for him, dressed in whitece stockings, a short skirt, high heels, and a low-cut top. Clearly, she too was looking forward to his return. At that moment, a blush began to appear on Fang Zhiya''s pretty face, craving for the nourishment of love. "Aunt Fang..." Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently embraced Fang Zhiya in his arms. "Aunt Fang..." Fang Zhiya gently kissed Li Zhiyan on the face. "Baby, we can do it today. Let''s go to the bedroom," she said. Li Zhiyan was a little surprised; he felt that under his influence, Fang Zhiya was indeed bing more open! She could now ept some things that she couldn''t before. Previously, they had used other methods in the bedroom. This time, it was going to be real... "Okay, Aunt Fang." Li Zhiyan couldn''t suppress himself any longer and kissed Fang Zhiya''s red lips fiercely. Aunt Fang had done so much for him, and Li Zhiyan could feel Fang Zhiya''s burning love for him. Chapter 187: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness_5 If they have a few more bottles to drink, even the king of America might have some rtion to them. After chatting for a while, a man with long hair said, "Old Yan, you can''t win your wife back, can you? She''s so beautiful, you must be regretting it like crazy now, you''ll never marry such a beautiful wife again." Yen Zhengjin thought of her and Li Zhiyan holding hands. He felt certain they must have done everything in the hotel, that she looked for such a young man to rece his role because she despised him for not being up to par! Filled with rage, he said, "What a joke." "Just a stinking whore, an old woman in her forties, I wouldn''t even cast a second nce at her." "With my annual sry close to four hundred thousand dors, what kind of woman couldn''t I find?" "If it weren''t for the sake of my son having both parents..." "Would I go beg my parents and her parents to find her?" "In my heart, she''s nothing but... Yen Zhengjin uttered a term from the national essence, then continued to curse and belittle Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan, who was listening on the side, felt like beating him up. Auntie Jiang is really a particrly nice woman, if it weren''t for him gambling and messing around, how could it havee to this. Either way, remarriage is impossible now! Next, Yen Zhengjin began to boast about his own abilities. After Li Zhiyan stored the recording pen properly, He was toozy to listen to any more talk. He paid the bill and left the food stall. Walking on the road, Li Zhiyan saw a ck chiffon nightgown in a women''s clothing store. This ck chiffon nightgown was made of a see-through material. It gave an effect simr to ck silk stockings. It belonged to the category of real QQ (seductive) nightwear. If Aunt Fang were to wear it... Li Zhiyan''s heart started to beat excitedly. Then he walked into the store, negotiated with the owner, and bought the chiffon nightgown. He was already looking forward to seeing Aunt Fang in it. Tonight was destined to be a short night''s rest. "Young man, you''ve got good taste." "Putting your girlfriend in such clothes will definitely make you expend more energy at night." Li Zhiyan didn''t respond and just walked towards home. Li Zhiyan had been very diligent these past few days, but he also felt sorry for Fang Zhiya. He stayed in the dormitory for two days; after all, it wouldn''t be good if he never stayed there. Another point was that Fang Zhiya was, after all, a gentle beauty, her petite body couldn''t withstand too much handling. Not everyone holds a title like his own. If it were Auntie Rao, she probably could withstand a lot. After all, Auntie Rao''s figure was plump, clearly having a much sturdier physique. However, recently Auntie Rao had been less in touch with him. This made Li Zhiyan understand that she was concerned about the twenty years of rtionship with her ex-husband. In her heart, she still thought about remarrying. This was something he couldn''t rush, after all, he was a neer. Pushing aside those thoughts, Li Zhiyan''s mind returned to Fang Zhiya''s delicate body. Having not seen Fang Zhiya for two days, Li Zhiyan missed her a lot. Now his rtionship with Aunt Fang was getting deeper and deeper. In this new rental, every corner was filled with sweet memories of him and Aunt Fang. Once he arrived home, Li Zhiyan skillfully took out his keys to unlock the door. Just as he entered, he saw Fang Zhiya preparing slippers for him, dressed in high heels and whitece stockings. "Baby, you''re back." Fang Zhiya''s eyes also brimmed with anticipation; indeed, she had been exhausted before, barely able to walk steadily. But now... Fang Zhiya had entirely rested. "Xiao Yan, what''s that in your hand?" "It''s a nightgown, Aunt Fang, please put it on." Li Zhiyan walked over, wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s waist, and then kissed her red lips. ustomed to such routine kisses, Fang Zhiya didn''t mind. After a while, she took the garment. "Wait for Auntie for a moment..." Entering the master bedroom, Fang Zhiya shyly put on the ck chiffon nightgown. In the mirror, her fair skin peeked through the material, giving off a uniquely attractive charm. Looking at the mirror, Fang Zhiya felt her face starting to burn. This garment... It was really a bit too much for her. But since this wasn''t ck silk, if Xiao Yan liked it, she''d wear it for him to see. After taking off the white stockings, Fang Zhiya put her high heels back on and went to the living room. "Xiao Yan, does it look good..." Li Zhiyan, seeing Fang Zhiya dressed in the chiffon nightgown, waspletely captivated. "It looks good..." "Aunt Fang, I want some snacks." With that, Li Zhiyan embraced Fang Zhiya''s waist once more. Chapter 188: Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability. Aunt Fang''s fair skin and the deep crevices were faintly noticeable before his eyes. That sensation was causing Li Zhiyan''s hormones to secrete rapidly. Afterward, Fang Zhiya also started feeding Li Zhiyan snacks. A long timeter, Li Zhiyan gently kissed Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, you look really sexy in that outfit," he said. The style of pajamas, when worn by a traditionally-minded woman like Fang Zhiya- Made Li Zhiyan marvel internally; all these changes resulting from the evolving rtionship between him and Aunt Fang, prompting her to make these changes for him. "Baby..." ''Sexy,'' as a word, was still too avant-garde for Fang Zhiya. She had never imagined that one day she would be like this, now in front of Li Zhiyan wearing a ck see-through nightgown, with high heels on. And that kissing him had be a normalized urrence. She was 42 years old, and yet here she was, thinking about getting pregnant with an 18-year-old boy. She really was a shameless woman. "Aunt Fang..." The way Fang Zhiya called out ''baby'' was like magic, making Li Zhiyan''s hormonespletely uncontroble. He then walked over, gently kissed Fang Zhiya, who responded enthusiastically, And Li Zhiyan lifted her up in his arms. The petite Aunt Fang was light, so Li Zhiyan could easily lift her up. They moved to the master bedroom where he locked the door behind them. He gentlyid Fang Zhiya on the bed, and shey there. "Aunt Fang, have you rested well these past two days?" he asked. Fang Zhiya covered her face with her hands, ashamed at the thought of being with him despite their 24-year age difference. "I''ve rested well, Xiao Yan, we can proceed..." Afterward, Fang Zhiya tightly closed her eyes, too embarrassed to open them again. ... In the evening, Fang Zhiyay in Li Zhiyan''s arms, feeling his heartbeat like before, which gave her an unprecedented sense of security. "Xiao Yan, Auntie is really lucky to have met you..." Li Zhiyan gently caressed Fang Zhiya''s face. "Then, Aunt Fang, when it gets to your safe period..." Li Zhiyan didn''t continue. But Fang Zhiya nodded softly. "This month, just once..." ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he went about his normal routine of washing up, then headed to the kitchen. He hugged Fang Zhiya from behind, who was busy cooking for him. Because she wanted to make a good meal for Li Zhiyan, She had gotten up before seven to cook an extra dish for him. "Aunt Fang..." After Li Zhiyan hugged her from behind, Fang Zhiya felt a little flustered. The delicate woman that she was could hardly cope with excessive exertion; she was already tired from the previous day. "Baby, please give Auntie a break, okay?" "Aunt Fang, I really don''t want to tire you out either, I''ll wait to eat," he said. After kissing Fang Zhiya''s pure and wless face, he hugged her from behind for a minute, greedily inhaling her fragrance. Only then did he leave the kitchen, and Fang Zhiya let out a sigh of relief, feeling truly happy with her current life. After breakfast, Li Zhiyan took Fang Zhiya''s hand as they left the residentialplex. "Baby, aren''t you afraid people will think it''s odd that you''re holding hands with such an older woman?" "What if people think we''re in a rtionship?" Li Zhiyan said seriously, "Aren''t we actually in a rtionship? It''s perfectly normal." "Besides, others will think you''re my mother." Li Zhiyan knew there was no actual family tie between him and Fang Zhiya. They were just a couple with a 24-year age gap, but to others, they could seem like mother and son. "But you haven''t called me ''mom,'' have you?" "I have called you ''mom'' before," he replied. "Back when we were at the rental ce, didn''t I call you ''mom''?" "You want to hear it again?" "Mom." Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya began to joke around; boys always like hearing their girlfriends call them ''daddy,'' as it deepens the rtionship between them. And calling her ''mom,'' well, that wasn''t entirely off-limits either. "Son." Fang Zhiya patted Li Zhiyan''s head, joining in the yful banter. "Alright, ''mom,'' you should hurry to work. I''m off to school." After role-ying for a bit, they parted ways outside theplex. Fang Zhiya''s face bore a sweet smile, her young boyfriend was indeed very interesting, Though her own age did qualify her to be his mother. ... After arriving at school, Li Zhiyan chatted with Han Xueying as usual. "Li Zhiyan, military training is almost over, and it''s just ahead," she said. "After that, you can''t keep running around like this every day." Han Xueying knew that Li Zhiyan often didn''t return to the dorm at night and spent most of his time away from school; hardly the behavior of a dedicated student. "Aunt Han, I might need to take leaves of absence often after the semester starts," Li Zhiyan said. "I''ll need your help by then." Han Xueying was very direct in her refusal. "No way." "Xiao Yan, Auntie knows you''re excellent," she said, "But as a student, you should prioritize your studies." "You must put learning first, understand?" Observing the beautiful face of his mature woman counselor, Li Zhiyan swallowed. It seemed that if he wanted Aunt Han to let him get away with misbehavior, he''d have to really make an effort. Only by bing close to the counselor could he have her support in taking frequent leaves. Chapter 189: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_2 After military training ended, Su Mengyue ran over with a bottle of mineral water and stuffed it into Li Zhiyan''s hands before shyly running away. Approaching from the opposite direction, Ziang Zexi and his group were all full of envy. "Brother Yan''s charm is really something, chased by the ss beauty, he''s truly one of a kind." Zhang Zhiyuan added sourly, "I''ve heard it from our ssmates." "Su Mengyue is thinking about confessing to you." "You never know when she might make her move." Li Zhiyan was somewhat distracted, teenage girls really do have courage. However, in his past life, Su Mengyue had been single for so many years, yet in this life, she was moved because of him, which was quite ironic. "Let''s go eat." The entire afternoon was filled with endless chatter. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to the school''s supermarket to see if Wang Shangyan was there and just happened to run into her, with Lew Huan tagging along. At that moment, Lew Huan was looking at Wang Shangyan with a pleasing expression, obviously intending to discuss reconciliation. "Xiao Yan!" As soon as she saw Li Zhiyan arrive, Wang Shangyan''s pretty face lit up with joy. She was thrilled to see Li Zhiyan so often at school. Lew Huan felt sick to his stomach, but by now he had thoroughly learned his lesson. He just smiled, greeted Li Zhiyan without a word. "Auntie Wang." "Xiao Yan." When he approached, Wang Shangyan took his hand. Seeing his ex-wife''s hand in Li Zhiyan''s grasp, Lew Huan couldn''t help but turn his head away. The next second, Li Zhiyan was hugging Wang Shangyan. "Auntie Wang." "Xiao Yan." Caught in Li Zhiyan''s precise embrace, Wang Shangyan felt a sense of happiness; her fondness for Li Zhiyan was no less than that for her own son. Ever since she saw the sess of Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, she couldn''t help but find it unbelievable. She wished he were her own son. "Auntie Wang." "It''s so nice to see you regrly at school." Holding onto Wang Shangyan''s short skirt, Li Zhiyan gently kissed her cheek, making it very noticeable. "You kid, you like Auntie that much." "Yeah, Auntie Wang, you''re my favorite." After kissing her left cheek, Li Zhiyan kissed Wang Shangyan''s right cheek as well. "Haven''t you kissed enough?" "Auntie Wang, your face smells nice and is so smooth; I just love kissing your cheeks." Wang Shangyan fondly stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. "Alright, alright, let go of Auntie, it''s too hot." "Auntie Wang, let''s hug a bit longer." Li Zhiyan''s hands moved to Wang Shangyan''s thighs, exposed beneath her short skirt. Her smooth legs made him reluctant to let go. This woman was so fierce, and if it weren''t for their good rtionship, Li Zhiyan wouldn''t dare to be so bold. Moreover, he was always observing Wang Shangyan''s mood, ready to back off if needed. For some reason, he quite enjoyed hugging Auntie Wang and kissing her cheeks in front of her ex-husband. "You kid, you''re 18 and still like a little child. Alright, Auntie will hold you a bit longer." There seemed to be a hint of resignation in Wang Shangyan''s voice as she gently patted Li Zhiyan''s back, allowing him to fully embrace her. After a while, Wang Shangyan''s face uncontrobly reddened. Even though Li Zhiyan was a child at heart, he was a grown man of 180 centimeters, and she could feel his reactions very clearly. "Alright, Xiao Yan, that''s enough. People willugh if they see," "always clinging to Auntie''s embrace." After kissing Wang Shangyan''s forehead, Li Zhiyan finally let her go. Lew Huan was incredibly frustrated; unquestionably, Li Zhiyan''s actions were a bit over the line. It made him want to curse, but he knew very well that his ex-wife treated Li Zhiyan like a child and any furtherint might mean he wouldn''t be able to return home. For some reason, Lew Huan was starting to regret pursuing Rao Shi Yun. He had this nagging feeling that Li Zhiyan was stealing his family from him. "I should get going." Lew Huan said no more and stood up to leave the supermarket. "Are you alright, Auntie Wang?" "I''m fine, Xiao Yan, don''t mind him. Let''s go to the cabin and cool off with the air conditioning." Wang Shangyan took Li Zhiyan''s hand and led him to the cabin. "Auntie Wang," "Your lips are really pretty." Sitting down, Li Zhiyan genuinely admired her. All these aunties had very small and beautiful mouths, but the smallest lips belonged to Aunt Fang; she seemed to have trouble eating. "You kid, you even appreciate a woman''s lips." "Of course, I can tell if they''re pretty or not." "Auntie Wang, can I kiss your lips in the future?" Wang Shangyan felt Li Zhiyan knew less than he should; he had already kissed her before, even tasting her mouth. "No, Xiao Yan." "Kissing on the lips is for couples." "Auntie Wang, I really want to kiss you." "You can''t." "Xiao Yan, Auntie can kiss your cheek, you understand?" While Wang Shangyan stroked Li Zhiyan''s head, her tone was still full of doting affection. Li Zhiyan gently hugged Wang Shangyan, then buried his head in her bosom. Chapter 190: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_3 "I understand, Auntie Wang." With the fragrant scent of Wang Shangyan lingering on him, Li Zhiyan felt his objective had been achieved. To open up Auntie Wang''s defenses, subtle hints always needed to be given. Gradually and subtly, she woulde to ept his kindness. ... After leaving Wang Shangyan, smelling the perfume that still clung to him from Auntie Wang, Li Zhiyan was in a very good mood. He then started chatting with Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan, "Master, we can go to the area near the school that we talked about before. I have plenty of time today." Jiang Xian, "Okay, why have you started calling me ''master''s wife'' again? Your teacher and I are divorced." Li Zhiyan, "I think calling you ''master''s wife'' is quite fun." Jiang Xian, "You child, Auntie is waiting for you at the hotel." After chatting with Li Zhiyan for a bit, Jiang Xian picked up the storybook in her hand again. Ever since she found this storybook in the hotel, she had slowly be enthralled by it, often imagining herself and Li Zhiyan as the protagonists of the story. Sometimes Jiang Xian really felt that she and Li Zhiyan might actually work out. After all, they were both single men and women. If they were both men and women, why couldn''t she be with Li Zhiyan. Moreover, when doing certain things, her hands would unconsciously pick up this storybook. After reading for a while, Jiang Xian''s cheeks flushed with shyness as she left and took a taxi to the university town. Seeing Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s moodpletely improved. She felt that she was truly bing more and more dependent on Li Zhiyan. Getting out of the taxi, she gave Li Zhiyan a big hug. "Xiao Yan, Auntie has missed you terribly." Since the time she held hands with Li Zhiyan and was seen by Yen Zhengjin, and after kissing Li Zhiyan of her own ord, Jiang Xian''s mindset had undergone a considerable change. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan whispered hot breaths into Jiang Xian''s ear, then kissed her lovely face and slowly moved toward her lips. "Hmm..." "Xiao Yan, that''s enough." Jiang Xian did not resist, as she was getting more and more ustomed to kissing Li Zhiyan. But in such a crowded ce, just a peck would go unnoticed. If the two of them were to kiss for a long time like they did when they were alone in some corner, it would definitely attract a lot of odd gazes. An 18-year-old boy and a 41-year-old mature woman would look strange no matter how you considered it. Li Zhiyan did not continue to kiss Jiang Xian; he knew that although Jiang Xian wasn''t as traditionally minded as Fang Zhiya, she certainly couldn''t ept going too far. "Xiao Yan, hurry and take Auntie to see your milk tea shop." "Alright." Li Zhiyan walked shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Xian, bending his waist, and after a while, he adjusted his demeanor. "Auntie Jiang, the foot traffic near the university town is particrly high, and there are some shops for rent now." "With your aesthetics, if you choose some nice designs when stocking up," "you will definitely make a lot of money." This era is not one where money can be picked up so casually, but doing business and making money is still rtively easier. The real end times for brick-and-mortar shops wille in 2024. "Yes, there really are a lot of people here. Xiao Yan, do you think Auntie can do well in business?" "Auntie practically has no social experience." "I quit my job after getting married and became a full-time wife at a very young age." When she got divorced, she had some money, not much, but enough to open a clothing store. However, the idea of opening a store filled Jiang Xian''s heart with an uncontroble sense of fear. "Don''t worry, Auntie Jiang, you can call on me for anything." "I will always be your strong support." Looking at the very serious Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s sense of security was instantly filled to the brim. "Then, I will rely on Xiao Yan as my support from now on." She hugged Jiang Xian gently. The two continued walking forward, and before they knew it, they arrived at Li Zhiyan''s Zhichen Milk Tea Shop. Seeing the bustling business of Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, Jiang Xian was incredibly amazed. "Xiao Yan, this milk tea shop is yours!" "Yes, Auntie Jiang, this milk tea shop is mine." Jiang Xian couldn''t control the astonishment inside her. Along the way, there were at least five or six milk tea shops. Yet, the business in the other milk tea shops was far fromparable to Li Zhiyan''s shop. Clearly, it was all due to Li Zhiyan''s ability. "Xiao Yan, you are really impressive. Before, you turned the Brotherhood Inte Cafe around, and now this milk tea shop is thriving." "When Auntie''s clothing store opens, you''ll have toe up with some good ideas for me too." "Auntie Jiang, let me treat you to a drink. Do you prefer Mango Pomelo Sago or plum juice?" "Plum juice, please." After entering the milk tea shop, Jiang Xian''s mood improved a lot. ... At this moment, Yen Zhengjin had already gathered his and Jiang Xian''s parents, and was criticizing Jiang Xian''s misbehavior. He was absolutely confident he could control Jiang Xian. With his parents and her parents, no matter the grievance, Jiang Xian had toe back! "Jiang Xian really is too much. I only spoke a few harsh words when I was drunk, and she left home immediately." Chapter 191: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_4 "She''s been gone for so long, and she''s even messing around outside with a young person," After giving it some thought, Yen Zhengjin realized he had indeed been too sensitive. He knew his wife well¡ªshe would never cheat, let alone with an 18-year-old kid. She simply couldn''t lower herself to do that. Previously, when she visited the ss, she quite liked Li Zhiyan, in the way an elder would fancy a youngster. So, her holding hands and walking on the street with Li Zhiyan was probably just because they had a good private rtionship. Of course, Yen Zhengjin neglected one thing: he was already divorced from his ex-wife. In the eyes of thew, even if Jiang Xian went to a hotel with Li Zhiyan, it would be perfectly justified. Of course, Yen Zhengjin now intended to stick to the im that Jiang Xian was cheating. To cover up his own mistakes. "You''ve raised a good daughter, huh? Neglecting her family, not taking good care of her husband, running away from home after a quarrel, and even learning to keep a lover. Very good, indeed, very good," Jiang Xian''s father was holding a smoking pipe, puffing away at it incessantly, his face stern, clearly in a very bad mood. Jiang Xian''s mother, on the other hand, said angrily, "I''m going to call her right now!" Seeing his mother-inw''s demeanor, Yen Zhengjin immediately jumped out to y the good guy. "Mom and Dad, don''t get so fired up. After all, Jiang Xian and I have had so many years of feelings," "Just talk nicely to her and ask her toe home." "I''ve forgiven her for the affair." Thinking of his ex-wife''s pretty face, her pert breasts, and her slender waist, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t help but feel like a withered treeing to life again. It seemed that he suddenly felt an urge... There were plenty of young women, but to find one as beautiful, virtuous, and with a great figure as his ex-wife was almost impossible. He definitely couldn''t miss Jiang Xian again. This made him even more determined to coax Jiang Xian back. Tonight, he would increase the dosage and make sure to get in some good exercise. "Son-inw, thank you," The olddy grabbed Yen Zhengjin''s hand, visibly moved; she had not expected her daughter to be in such a situation, and yet he was still willing to stay with her. "Mom, you call Jiang Xian. I''ll talk to her and smooth things over," "Then all of you back me up." "Sigh." The olddy dialed Jiang Xian''s number. "Mom." Hearing Jiang Xian''s voice, Yen Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had regained something he lost. The feeling was as if Jiang Xian had never left him. "Wife." Yen Zhengjin hurriedly called out to his ex-wife, hoping to touch Jiang Xian''s heart. At this moment, in the milk tea shop, sipping on the sour plum soup made by Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian wanted to hang up the phone immediately. The insults she had received from Yen Zhengjin were unforgettable. If it hadn''t been for kissing Li Zhiyan so long in the corner, and him touching her leg for so long, she wouldn''t have been able to cheer up at all. "Don''t call me your wife, we''re divorced." "I''m sorry, wife. I apologize for what I said earlier," "I was drunk, that''s why I said those excessive things." "Haven''t you also done something that hurt me?" "Can''t we both make up, please?" "My parents and your parents are all at our house." "Your parents came a few hundred miles by train from the countryside¡ªdon''t you feel sorry for them?" Hearing about her parents, Jiang Xian softened. At this moment, she truly had no feelings left for Yen Zhengjin. The continuous insults and affronts to her person had utterly disappointed her. The love of the past had vanished like smoke and clouds, yet her own parents were both in their seventies. Having traveled to the provincial city at such an old age, if she didn''t go home, how disappointed would they be? "I''ll be backter." Jiang Xian knew that remarriage was probably inevitable. She could indulge herself and ignore everything, but to her parents, it would be a tremendous hurt that would prevent them from enjoying their twilight years. Overjoyed, Yen Zhengjin had actually considered having his son step in if this tactic failed. But unexpectedly, Jiang Xian''s parents had directly solved this thorny issue. Yen Zhengjin instantly decided he would take three pills that night. Let his wife experience true pleasure and properly make up for it! "Good, wife, I''ll wait for you at home. What do you want to eat tonight?" "I''ll cook whatever you want, and we''ll all have dinner together." ... After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xian slowly stood up. Then she prepared to leave the milk tea shop and go home. "Auntie Jiang, where are you going?" Jiang Xian''s heart ached deeply; she was about to part with Li Zhiyan, and after this separation, meeting again would be very difficult. At least, after remarrying, she wouldn''t be able to kiss Li Zhiyan or let him touch her legs. "Xiao Yan, my parents are here, so I have to go home," "In a while, I might get remarried." Li Zhiyan looked at Jiang Xian with a somewhat dejected expression and grabbed her hand. "Auntie Jiang,e with me for a moment," Jiang Xian was puzzled, but she let Li Zhiyan lead her into the staff changing room. This little room was simr to the small rooms in supermarkets, except there wasn''t an air-conditioning vent, just a fan mounted on the wall. After turning on the fan, its whirring sound filled the space, cooling the room considerably. Chapter 183: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness The stories written for the story club always have quite a bit of exaggeration. Like some kind of exaggerated techniques such as superhuman abilities, but Xiao Yan seemed just like that. It felt as if the story had stepped into reality! And this story was about the thrilling adventure of a student and his teacher''s wife. Jiang Xian couldn''t take her eyes off of it. After a long while, she entered the bathroom, reading while applying makeup. Her heart was tumultuous. Only after a considerable amount of time did she manage to calm her emotions and put down the storybook to focus on her makeup. In front of the junior she fancied, Jiang Xian still hoped to dress up beautifully. After applying her makeup, Jiang Xian changed into the outfit that Li Zhiyan had helped her pick out. A whileter, she looked in the mirror at her legs, adorned with high heels and flesh-colored stockings. She felt very satisfied, this was the image she wanted. Then, she sent Li Zhiyan a message, indicating he coulde over now. In the meantime, she also noticed calls and messages from Yen Zhengjin. Those messages were incredibly sappy, all of them apologies and pleas for her toe back, with Yen Zhengjin expressing in the texts that it was just because he had drunk too much that he said those things. Jiang Xian didn''t think much of it, and deleted all of Yen Zhengjin''s messages directly. Then, she blocked his phone number. He didn''t apologize all night, showing no concern at all for a woman being out alone and the dangers she might face. Thinking back to the terrifying incident at the hotelst night, Jiang Xian still couldn''t help feeling a sense of fear; it was too frightening. Thankfully, Li Zhiyan appeared and rescued her. At this moment, all of Yen Zhengjin''s actions and expressions became synonymous with insincerity in Jiang Xian''s heart. Inparison, Xiao Yan was better. The image of kissing Li Zhiyan echoed in her mind again, and Jiang Xian couldn''t help but feel her face growing hot. This feeling was really shy... Andst night, Li Zhiyan even touched her leg! How did she agree to let him touch her leg. Thinking about it, all this started because she and he participated in that kissing contest. If she hadn''t joined that contest with him, what would things be like now? At the thought, Jiang Xian found herself unable to control her blush. Afterward, she sent Li Zhiyan a message. Li Zhiyan''s reply came quickly. Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Jiang, I''m on my way." ncing towards the bathroom, she hauntedly went back inside. Picked up the storybook and began to read again, quickly bing engrossed. Before long, Li Zhiyan''s voice sounded. "Auntie Jiang, I''ve arrived." "Okay." She frantically hid the storybook underneath the nket. Jiang Xian opened the door to wee Li Zhiyan inside. Seeing the beautifully dressed Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble surge of attraction. "Auntie Jiang, you look so beautiful, especially that lipstick color is great." "Really..." Jiang Xian was pleasantly surprised; this kid actually noticed the color of her lipstick. "Yeah, it''s like the color of cherries, so pretty." "Oh, Auntie Jiang." "Why is your face so red?" Jiang Xian was a bit self-conscious. "Maybe it''s a bit hot." Li Zhiyan casually sat down on the bed. He said, feeling a bit puzzled, "Auntie Jiang, what is this? I feel like you were hiding a book." Jiang Xian became flustered, how could it be that Li Zhiyan just happened to sit on that book. "Xiao Yan, you can''t look!" Jiang Xian said earnestly. "What''s wrong, Auntie Jiang?" "That book is about makeup, it''s not suitable for boys to look at." "So you can''t look." She moved forward and grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand. "Let''s go shopping, Xiao Yan." "Okay..." After pulling Li Zhiyan out of the hotel room, Jiang Xian''s heart finally settled. If Li Zhiyan had seen that book, She would have been so embarrassed. ... "Auntie Jiang, why is your face still so red?" After the two of them exited the hotel, Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian''s hand. Although Jiang Xian was afraid others might find it strange, After all, at 41, she was holding hands with Li Zhiyan. But after considering that others might mistake them for mother and son, she let go of her concerns. "It''s hot." "Auntie Jiang, did that Mr. Yen call you?" Li Zhiyan wanted to probe the situation as Jiang Xian and Yen Zhengjin were already divorced, and it was clear that Yen Zhengjin was not a good man, most likely trying to deceive Auntie Jiang. Therefore, Li Zhiyan decided if Auntie Jiang had any thoughts of reconsidering, He would step in and badmouth Yen Zhengjin; no matter what, he couldn''t let the two of them get back together. No way could he just watch Auntie Jiang jump back into a pit of fire. "He did call, but it was at noon." "I''ve already blocked his mobile number." Li Zhiyan immediately said, "That''s right, Auntie Jiang, that''s the way to do it. His intentions are clearly insincere, wanting to deceive you." "If someone really wanted to apologize sincerely, They could have called youst night to apologize." "I think he might have been having a good time with another woman and only remembered to call you afterward." Li Zhiyan''s words left Jiang Xian briefly silent. Chapter 184: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness_2 She knew very well that her ex-husband was really not up to par anymore, and even if she asked him to do certain things, he just did not have the capability. Jiang Xian understood this better than anyone. But yesterday, he had taken some medicine right in front of her and even made her kneel before him; he didn''t treat her like a person at all. What Li Zhiyan said was very likely, and thinking of this, Jiang Xian felt a wave of nausea. "Auntie Jiang, are you alright?" While continuing to shop and holding Jiang Xian''s hand, Li Zhiyan inquired. "It''s nothing, Xiao Yan..." "Auntie, you did the right thing blocking him." "Let''s not talk about him anymore." Seeing Jiang Xian''s nauseous look, Li Zhiyan''s heartpletely rxed. Before he and Auntie Jiang truly went that far with each other, it was impossible for her to have anything to do with Yen Zhengjin again. Besides, if there were any real emergencies, the system would prompt him to issue himself tasks. Now, Li Zhiyan had already figured out the experience. When they passed a flower shop, Li Zhiyan stopped. He then bought a rose and, after exiting, gave it to Jiang Xian, continuing to hold her hand as they shopped. "Xiao Yan." "Why would you give me such a flower?" Li Zhiyan joked, "Because I like you, Auntie, it''s just a pity you don''t want to be my girlfriend." "You silly boy, I''m already 41, I can''t possibly be your girlfriend." Saying this, a very strange feeling arose in Jiang Xian''s heart. She said it was impossible to be Li Zhiyan''s girlfriend, and yet she had kissed him. And not just once¡ªin fact, duringst night''s kiss, she even let him touch her legs. She really did let him touch her all over her legs. Thinking about it, Jiang Xian found it a bit incredulous. "Just because it''s impossible now doesn''t mean it''s impossible in the future." "You''re actually very young and beautiful, like this rose." "It''s blossoming at its most vibrant and beautiful moment." Holding the rose, Jiang Xian was very pleased by the ttery and found herself liking Li Zhiyan more and more. As they walked, she could not help but indulge in a fantasy. If only she were 18 instead of 41, how wonderful that would be. She could openly date Li Zhiyan, be together with him, marry and have children. Li Zhiyan, truly, is a very good young man. But the age gap between them was too wide, and despite the fact that she definitely couldn''t have physical rtions with Yen Zhengjin anymore, under their parents'' matchmaking, she was very likely to remarry eventually. As one grows older, many things can''t be done simply as one wishes. Jiang Xian knew this all too well, and she felt helpless about it. As for the affection she had shared with Li Zhiyan after the divorce, it was to be treasured as a beautiful dream in her life. "Auntie Jiang, do you think that ck dress over there would suit you very much?" Li Zhiyan spotted a ck dress at a women''s clothing store. The hem of the dress, which could cover half the thigh, was exactly the length he preferred. "Then, let''s try it on..." Jiang Xian had a lot of confidence in Li Zhiyan''s taste; the clothes he helped her pick before were really quite nice. "Miss, feel free to look around and try anything." The shop owner was sweet-talking; every woman in her eyes was a ''young girl'' regardless of their age. At that moment, another customer came in, and she went forward to greet them. After picking up the clothes and entering the dressing room, Jiang Xian intended toe out and see how the dress looked, but unexpectedly, Li Zhiyan sneaked in after her. In the cramped fitting room, Jiang Xian could even feel the warmth from Li Zhiyan''s body. This made her heart unexpectedly begin to panic. "Xiao Yan, why did youe into the fitting room?" "Auntie Jiang, I want to kiss..." Li Zhiyan''s straightforward words made Jiang Xian blushpletely. This Xiao Yan, why didn''t he kiss in the hotel room earlier? She had promised Li Zhiyan that they could kiss often in the future, so there was no question of going back on that word; as she wasn''t remarried yet, she was single and not viting any moral codes. So kissing him was really no big deal; it was like ying house with an 18-year-old. If he had wanted to kiss back at the hotel, she wouldn''t have refused him, but this was a dressing room. "Xiao Yan, when we get back to the hotelter..." Before she could finish, Li Zhiyan had already pressed his lips against Jiang Xian''s. Then he began to kiss her earnestly. The clothes in Jiang Xian''s hand fell to the floor, and in the next second, she was wrapped in Li Zhiyan''s embrace. The two of them embraced tightly; to Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s charm was irresistible, Auntie Jiang was just too beautiful. Standing close to 170cm, she was different from the petite Aunt Fang. And her former status only made Li Zhiyan more infatuated with the kissing¡ªthey were intoxicating feelings. ... After a long while, the shop owner''s urging voice came from outside. "Miss, are you done yet?" "I think you''ll look good in that dress." Jiang Xian then shyly pushed Li Zhiyan away. "You..." She yfully tapped Li Zhiyan''s forehead, but her gesture was somewhat listless. Li Zhiyan was really as exaggerated as described in stories. In her heart, she uncontrobly fantasized some images. Chapter 185: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness_3 "I''ll go out first." After Li Zhiyan left and locked the door, the proprietress gave him a strange look but didn''t fuss over it. There were many wonders in this world; anything could happen, and she was long past the point of surprise. Before long, Jiang Xian emerged from the fitting room in a ck dress. Her slender, snowy-white legs and the broad expanse of her chest''s whiteness made Li Zhiyan unable to take his eyes off her. "Does it look good..." Jiang Xian asked with some trepidation. "Of course, it looks good. A beautiful person looks good in anything." "Auntie Jiang, let me give this dress to you as a gift." Jiang Xian felt a warm feeling in her heart. "How can an aunt ept your gift." Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian''s hand, said, "Auntie Jiang, I''ve never given you any gifts." "Please let me show my filial respect." "You can make it up to me in other wayster." Your adventure continues at m v|l-e-NovelBin Jiang Xian, teasing, said, "Then how do you want Auntie to make it up to you, eh?" "Auntie, I love snacks. You can just feed me when the timees." Li Zhiyan said very seriously; he did indeed have a fondness for snacks, and was quite talented and enthusiastic about them. During the seven days of his previous confinement, Fang Zhiya would often feed him snacks. And she was always satisfied with his appetite. "Okay, the aunt will feed you in the future, such a child." Jiang Xian touched Li Zhiyan''s head, then discussed the price with the shop owner, with Li Zhiyan picking up the tab in the end. After they left the store with their shopping bags. Jiang Xian''s heart wasplicated. During the many years she had not divorced, Yen Zhengjin had never given her a single gift. Not even a simple hair clip, he never showed such thoughtfulness. Instead, it was this student he used to suppress every day. Thinking of giving her gifts, being so kind to her. "Xiao Yan, this is the first gift Auntie has received since getting married, through the divorce, and until now." Hearing this, Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian''s hand, also couldn''t help feeling quite surprised. He knew that no one had celebrated Aunt Fang''s birthday. But it seemed unlikely for Jiang Xian. "Didn''t he give you any gifts on your birthday?" Jiang Xian shook her head. "When the aunt has her birthday, it''s just the inws that woulde over to deliver a cake." "They were good to the auntie but also very stingy people." "They kept a tight grip on money." "So they never bought any gifts for the aunt." "Even at our wedding, he didn''t give the aunt anything. That we could buy a cake was already quite good." Li Zhiyan was quite familiar with the penny-pinching ways of the older generation. But it was truly loathsome for Yen Zhengjin not to give Jiang Xian birthday gifts. Li Zhiyan knew that Yen Zhengjin had earned quite a lot over the years, with the review center, tutoring, on top of the basic sry and bonuses, his yearly take-home was really heading towards four hundred thousand. Otherwise, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t have yed in the casinos for so long without going broke. As the two walked hand in hand, chatting, Jiang Xian''s heart rxed a lot. "Xiao Yan, Auntie is thinking of opening a women''s clothing store." "What do you think?" As Jiang Xian talked about opening a store, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. To dedicate herself to the family, she had given up her career, which was why she had been humiliated by Yen Zhengjin to such an extent. "I think it''s a good idea. Auntie Jiang, you could open a store in our university town." "There are a lot of girls over there at the university." "I think you''ll definitely make money with the store." At that time, emerce had not yet dealt a devastating blow to brick-and-mortar stores, and street foot traffic was still really high. "Really? Then Auntie will take a look near your school in a few days." "Right, Auntie Jiang, I also opened a milk tea shop on themercial street at the school." "I''ll take you to see it soon." Hearing that Li Zhiyan had opened a milk tea shop, Jiang Xian felt extremely surprised. This kid was really amazing. As they walked hand in hand shopping, they suddenly heard an angry voice. "Jiang Xian, what are you doing? Are you having an affair with this beast? You shameless thing!" Turning around, Li Zhiyan saw Yen Zhengjin on an electric scooter, staring at them with a face full of rage. He hadn''t expected to encounter Yen Zhengjin here. At this moment, Yen Zhengjin looked particrly haggard; Li Zhiyan could tell at a nce that this was a result of excessive staying upte, showing Yen Zhengjin was clearly very weak at this point. And Yen Zhengjin, in his wildest dreams, had never expected to see his beautiful wife¡ª No, his ex-wife, hand in hand with the child of the impoverished family he despised the most, in such an intimate manner, with his ex-wife holding a bouquet of roses. Obviously, the two were on a date. The most looked-down-upon Li Zhiyan and his ex-wife were on a date! "You slut! You actually let an 18-year-old kid sleep with you!" His shout of anger made Jiang Xian''s own anger burst forth. "What are you talking about?!" "Xiao Yan is just a kid. Can your heart not be so filthy!" "Have you forgotten the times you''ve insulted me!" "How can your heart be so dirty!" Yen Zhengjin was momentarily stunned; he hadn''t expected the previously timid and docile Jiang Xian, who he used to bully at will, to have such a moment. "Xiao Yan, let''s go!" Saying this, Jiang Xian held on to Li Zhiyan''s hand tightly and headed off into the distance. Chapter 186: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness_4 Yen Zhengjin wanted to catch up, but now he was genuinely afraid of being hit by Li Zhiyan. The kid had grown taller, not as easy to bully as before, and with himself approaching fifty, he stood no chance against him. ... After walking for a while, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian stopped by the side of a small river. "Auntie Jiang, don''t think too much about it," "Just focus on running your shop and stay away from him from now on." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan gently embraced Jiang Xian, wrapping his arms around her waist. Jiang Xian hugged back, the feelings of humiliation and grievance she had felt before now bursting forth, "Xiao Yan..." While hugging, Jiang Xian slowly tiptoed and kissed Li Zhiyan''s face, then slowly moved to his lips. She and Li Zhiyan already had quite a few kissing experiences. So kissing was actually no big deal. Jiang Xian could already calmly ept the fact that she was kissing Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan also bent down, held Jiang Xian tightly, and lowered his head to kiss her. Auntie Jiang''s lips were really sweet. Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go. Had it not been for what had just happened, Auntie Jiang would not have taken the initiative to kiss him. At this moment, Li Zhiyan was somewhat grateful for Yen Zhengjin''s idental assistance. Such a beautiful wife now his ex-wife. Now his ex-wife was taking the initiative to kiss him, all because of the situation he created with his gambling. After a long time, Jiang Xian left Li Zhiyan''s embrace with a blushed face. "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan..." "I got a bit carried away." Li Zhiyan said seriously, "It''s okay, Auntie Jiang, if you want to kiss in the future, you can always find me." "Since we''re both single, it''s just kissing, not dating or doing anything else. It''s fine." "Okay..." Jiang Xian convinced herself that it was just a kiss. "Auntie Jiang, let''s go for a walk over there in the corner." "What''s up?" "I want to touch your legs." Li Zhiyan looked at Jiang Xian''s snow-white legs and felt the urge to touch them again. It didn''t matter if he didn''t touch her legs. But once he did, he became addicted and couldn''t stop. "Okay..." After following Li Zhiyan to a corner, Jiang Xian''s heart raced, and in the next second, Li Zhiyan passionately pressed his lips against hers. At the same time, his hand was on Jiang Xian''s beautiful leg. "Auntie Jiang, your legs are so soft, so smooth..." Feeling that slick sensation, Li Zhiyan didn''t want to let go again. "Be gentle, Xiao Yan..." Jiang Xian took the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan, feeling an inexplicable rush of vindictive pleasure. ... The following days were quite peaceful. Li Zhiyan returned to school and chatted with the beautiful counselor every day. Your journey continues at m v|l-e-NovelBin When he had time, he checked on the milk tea shop, and he was also chatting daily with the people on his QQ. Now, when he went to see Jiang Xian, kissing her faced no obstacles anymore, and after the stimtion of the incident with Yen Zhengjin, she even took the initiative to get close to him. But he limited himself to just touching her legs. Whenever he wanted to go further, Jiang Xian would stop him. At the same time, his rtionship with Su Mengchen was getting closer. However, what troubled Li Zhiyan was that Gu Wanzhou still used the old tactic of giving him the cold shoulder. This made Li Zhiyan feel that he could only wait for the system to provide him with information. In the evening, Li Zhiyan took a taxi to the location indicated by the system. Yunmeng Food Stall, Li Zhiyan wore a baseball cap, concealing himself. "One portion of crayfish, two bottles of beer." The night market food stalls were bustling. He had just sat down when a beggar came up asking Li Zhiyan for money. Li Zhiyan felt helpless against these people, who had cars and houses at home, richer than the average person. After shooing the beggar away with fifty cents, Li Zhiyan waited for Yen Zhengjin to arrive. As expected, after a while, Yen Zhengjin came over with a few friends. Yen Zhengjin still looked haggard. Clearly still staying upte gambling regrly, which exined his condition. He looked much older. Li Zhiyan guessed that Yen Zhengjin had lost at least two hundred thousand during this period, after all, a casino is a ce that devours money, and what he was doing was wrong. But Yen Zhengjin had a considerable fortune, and the old neighborhood had been demolished, resulting in a heftypensation. He could probably continue squandering for a while. Coincidentally, Yen Zhengjin sat down at the table next to him, saving Li Zhiyan some effort. If they were far apart, he''d have to figure out how to switch ces, in this kind of setting. Yen Zhengjin was also holding a bottle of Wuliangye, and when men talk, they certainly do so loudly... So Li Zhiyan just needed to record it. Turning on the voice recorder, Li Zhiyan calmly ate his crayfish and drank his chilled beer. A few men were together drinking and boasting. "My friend, Old Zhang, at Macau, guess how much he won in one night?" "Over ten million!" "Right then, the owner of the casino in Macau came out, arranged a VIP suite for him, and provided femalepanionship." Yen Zhengjin''s eyes gleamed with more and more greed at the mention of over ten million, thinking he would have to work without spending for thirty years. Gambling was about the few winning the money of the many. Although most people lose, in the end, it doesn''t have to be oneself who loses! Li Zhiyan had heard such bluffs many times, most of them starting with "I have a friend who..." Chapter 187: 101 Jiang Xian Takes the Initiative! Li Zhiyan Records Yen Zhengjins Ugliness_5 If they have a few more bottles to drink, even the king of America might have some rtion to them. After chatting for a while, a man with long hair said, "Old Yan, you can''t win your wife back, can you? She''s so beautiful, you must be regretting it like crazy now, you''ll never marry such a beautiful wife again." Yen Zhengjin thought of her and Li Zhiyan holding hands. He felt certain they must have done everything in the hotel, that she looked for such a young man to rece his role because she despised him for not being up to par! Filled with rage, he said, "What a joke." "Just a stinking whore, an old woman in her forties, I wouldn''t even cast a second nce at her." "With my annual sry close to four hundred thousand dors, what kind of woman couldn''t I find?" "If it weren''t for the sake of my son having both parents..." "Would I go beg my parents and her parents to find her?" "In my heart, she''s nothing but... Yen Zhengjin uttered a term from the national essence, then continued to curse and belittle Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan, who was listening on the side, felt like beating him up. Auntie Jiang is really a particrly nice woman, if it weren''t for him gambling and messing around, how could it havee to this. Either way, remarriage is impossible now! Next, Yen Zhengjin began to boast about his own abilities. After Li Zhiyan stored the recording pen properly, He was toozy to listen to any more talk. He paid the bill and left the food stall. Walking on the road, Li Zhiyan saw a ck chiffon nightgown in a women''s clothing store. This ck chiffon nightgown was made of a see-through material. It gave an effect simr to ck silk stockings. It belonged to the category of real QQ (seductive) nightwear. If Aunt Fang were to wear it... Li Zhiyan''s heart started to beat excitedly. Then he walked into the store, negotiated with the owner, and bought the chiffon nightgown. He was already looking forward to seeing Aunt Fang in it. Tonight was destined to be a short night''s rest. "Young man, you''ve got good taste." "Putting your girlfriend in such clothes will definitely make you expend more energy at night." Li Zhiyan didn''t respond and just walked towards home. Li Zhiyan had been very diligent these past few days, but he also felt sorry for Fang Zhiya. He stayed in the dormitory for two days; after all, it wouldn''t be good if he never stayed there. Another point was that Fang Zhiya was, after all, a gentle beauty, her petite body couldn''t withstand too much handling. Not everyone holds a title like his own. If it were Auntie Rao, she probably could withstand a lot. After all, Auntie Rao''s figure was plump, clearly having a much sturdier physique. However, recently Auntie Rao had been less in touch with him. This made Li Zhiyan understand that she was concerned about the twenty years of rtionship with her ex-husband. In her heart, she still thought about remarrying. This was something he couldn''t rush, after all, he was a neer. Pushing aside those thoughts, Li Zhiyan''s mind returned to Fang Zhiya''s delicate body. Having not seen Fang Zhiya for two days, Li Zhiyan missed her a lot. Now his rtionship with Aunt Fang was getting deeper and deeper. In this new rental, every corner was filled with sweet memories of him and Aunt Fang. Once he arrived home, Li Zhiyan skillfully took out his keys to unlock the door. Just as he entered, he saw Fang Zhiya preparing slippers for him, dressed in high heels and whitece stockings. "Baby, you''re back." Fang Zhiya''s eyes also brimmed with anticipation; indeed, she had been exhausted before, barely able to walk steadily. But now... Fang Zhiya had entirely rested. "Xiao Yan, what''s that in your hand?" "It''s a nightgown, Aunt Fang, please put it on." Li Zhiyan walked over, wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s waist, and then kissed her red lips. ustomed to such routine kisses, Fang Zhiya didn''t mind. After a while, she took the garment. "Wait for Auntie for a moment..." Entering the master bedroom, Fang Zhiya shyly put on the ck chiffon nightgown. In the mirror, her fair skin peeked through the material, giving off a uniquely attractive charm. Looking at the mirror, Fang Zhiya felt her face starting to burn. This garment... It was really a bit too much for her. But since this wasn''t ck silk, if Xiao Yan liked it, she''d wear it for him to see. After taking off the white stockings, Fang Zhiya put her high heels back on and went to the living room. "Xiao Yan, does it look good..." Li Zhiyan, seeing Fang Zhiya dressed in the chiffon nightgown, waspletely captivated. "It looks good..." "Aunt Fang, I want some snacks." With that, Li Zhiyan embraced Fang Zhiya''s waist once more. Chapter 188: Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability. Aunt Fang''s fair skin and the deep crevices were faintly noticeable before his eyes. That sensation was causing Li Zhiyan''s hormones to secrete rapidly. Afterward, Fang Zhiya also started feeding Li Zhiyan snacks. A long timeter, Li Zhiyan gently kissed Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, you look really sexy in that outfit," he said. The style of pajamas, when worn by a traditionally-minded woman like Fang Zhiya- Made Li Zhiyan marvel internally; all these changes resulting from the evolving rtionship between him and Aunt Fang, prompting her to make these changes for him. "Baby..." ''Sexy,'' as a word, was still too avant-garde for Fang Zhiya. She had never imagined that one day she would be like this, now in front of Li Zhiyan wearing a ck see-through nightgown, with high heels on. And that kissing him had be a normalized urrence. She was 42 years old, and yet here she was, thinking about getting pregnant with an 18-year-old boy. She really was a shameless woman. "Aunt Fang..." The way Fang Zhiya called out ''baby'' was like magic, making Li Zhiyan''s hormonespletely uncontroble. He then walked over, gently kissed Fang Zhiya, who responded enthusiastically, And Li Zhiyan lifted her up in his arms. The petite Aunt Fang was light, so Li Zhiyan could easily lift her up. They moved to the master bedroom where he locked the door behind them. He gentlyid Fang Zhiya on the bed, and shey there. "Aunt Fang, have you rested well these past two days?" he asked. Fang Zhiya covered her face with her hands, ashamed at the thought of being with him despite their 24-year age difference. "I''ve rested well, Xiao Yan, we can proceed..." Afterward, Fang Zhiya tightly closed her eyes, too embarrassed to open them again. ... In the evening, Fang Zhiyay in Li Zhiyan''s arms, feeling his heartbeat like before, which gave her an unprecedented sense of security. "Xiao Yan, Auntie is really lucky to have met you..." Li Zhiyan gently caressed Fang Zhiya''s face. "Then, Aunt Fang, when it gets to your safe period..." Li Zhiyan didn''t continue. But Fang Zhiya nodded softly. "This month, just once..." ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he went about his normal routine of washing up, then headed to the kitchen. He hugged Fang Zhiya from behind, who was busy cooking for him. Because she wanted to make a good meal for Li Zhiyan, She had gotten up before seven to cook an extra dish for him. "Aunt Fang..." After Li Zhiyan hugged her from behind, Fang Zhiya felt a little flustered. The delicate woman that she was could hardly cope with excessive exertion; she was already tired from the previous day. "Baby, please give Auntie a break, okay?" "Aunt Fang, I really don''t want to tire you out either, I''ll wait to eat," he said. After kissing Fang Zhiya''s pure and wless face, he hugged her from behind for a minute, greedily inhaling her fragrance. Only then did he leave the kitchen, and Fang Zhiya let out a sigh of relief, feeling truly happy with her current life. After breakfast, Li Zhiyan took Fang Zhiya''s hand as they left the residentialplex. "Baby, aren''t you afraid people will think it''s odd that you''re holding hands with such an older woman?" "What if people think we''re in a rtionship?" Li Zhiyan said seriously, "Aren''t we actually in a rtionship? It''s perfectly normal." "Besides, others will think you''re my mother." Li Zhiyan knew there was no actual family tie between him and Fang Zhiya. They were just a couple with a 24-year age gap, but to others, they could seem like mother and son. "But you haven''t called me ''mom,'' have you?" "I have called you ''mom'' before," he replied. "Back when we were at the rental ce, didn''t I call you ''mom''?" "You want to hear it again?" "Mom." Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya began to joke around; boys always like hearing their girlfriends call them ''daddy,'' as it deepens the rtionship between them. And calling her ''mom,'' well, that wasn''t entirely off-limits either. "Son." Fang Zhiya patted Li Zhiyan''s head, joining in the yful banter. "Alright, ''mom,'' you should hurry to work. I''m off to school." After role-ying for a bit, they parted ways outside theplex. Fang Zhiya''s face bore a sweet smile, her young boyfriend was indeed very interesting, Though her own age did qualify her to be his mother. ... After arriving at school, Li Zhiyan chatted with Han Xueying as usual. "Li Zhiyan, military training is almost over, and it''s just ahead," she said. "After that, you can''t keep running around like this every day." Han Xueying knew that Li Zhiyan often didn''t return to the dorm at night and spent most of his time away from school; hardly the behavior of a dedicated student. "Aunt Han, I might need to take leaves of absence often after the semester starts," Li Zhiyan said. "I''ll need your help by then." Han Xueying was very direct in her refusal. "No way." "Xiao Yan, Auntie knows you''re excellent," she said, "But as a student, you should prioritize your studies." "You must put learning first, understand?" Observing the beautiful face of his mature woman counselor, Li Zhiyan swallowed. It seemed that if he wanted Aunt Han to let him get away with misbehavior, he''d have to really make an effort. Only by bing close to the counselor could he have her support in taking frequent leaves. Chapter 189: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_2 After military training ended, Su Mengyue ran over with a bottle of mineral water and stuffed it into Li Zhiyan''s hands before shyly running away. Approaching from the opposite direction, Ziang Zexi and his group were all full of envy. "Brother Yan''s charm is really something, chased by the ss beauty, he''s truly one of a kind." Zhang Zhiyuan added sourly, "I''ve heard it from our ssmates." "Su Mengyue is thinking about confessing to you." "You never know when she might make her move." Li Zhiyan was somewhat distracted, teenage girls really do have courage. However, in his past life, Su Mengyue had been single for so many years, yet in this life, she was moved because of him, which was quite ironic. "Let''s go eat." The entire afternoon was filled with endless chatter. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to the school''s supermarket to see if Wang Shangyan was there and just happened to run into her, with Lew Huan tagging along. At that moment, Lew Huan was looking at Wang Shangyan with a pleasing expression, obviously intending to discuss reconciliation. "Xiao Yan!" As soon as she saw Li Zhiyan arrive, Wang Shangyan''s pretty face lit up with joy. She was thrilled to see Li Zhiyan so often at school. Lew Huan felt sick to his stomach, but by now he had thoroughly learned his lesson. He just smiled, greeted Li Zhiyan without a word. "Auntie Wang." "Xiao Yan." When he approached, Wang Shangyan took his hand. Seeing his ex-wife''s hand in Li Zhiyan''s grasp, Lew Huan couldn''t help but turn his head away. The next second, Li Zhiyan was hugging Wang Shangyan. "Auntie Wang." "Xiao Yan." Caught in Li Zhiyan''s precise embrace, Wang Shangyan felt a sense of happiness; her fondness for Li Zhiyan was no less than that for her own son. Ever since she saw the sess of Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, she couldn''t help but find it unbelievable. She wished he were her own son. "Auntie Wang." "It''s so nice to see you regrly at school." Holding onto Wang Shangyan''s short skirt, Li Zhiyan gently kissed her cheek, making it very noticeable. "You kid, you like Auntie that much." "Yeah, Auntie Wang, you''re my favorite." After kissing her left cheek, Li Zhiyan kissed Wang Shangyan''s right cheek as well. "Haven''t you kissed enough?" "Auntie Wang, your face smells nice and is so smooth; I just love kissing your cheeks." Wang Shangyan fondly stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. "Alright, alright, let go of Auntie, it''s too hot." "Auntie Wang, let''s hug a bit longer." Li Zhiyan''s hands moved to Wang Shangyan''s thighs, exposed beneath her short skirt. Her smooth legs made him reluctant to let go. This woman was so fierce, and if it weren''t for their good rtionship, Li Zhiyan wouldn''t dare to be so bold. Moreover, he was always observing Wang Shangyan''s mood, ready to back off if needed. For some reason, he quite enjoyed hugging Auntie Wang and kissing her cheeks in front of her ex-husband. "You kid, you''re 18 and still like a little child. Alright, Auntie will hold you a bit longer." There seemed to be a hint of resignation in Wang Shangyan''s voice as she gently patted Li Zhiyan''s back, allowing him to fully embrace her. After a while, Wang Shangyan''s face uncontrobly reddened. Even though Li Zhiyan was a child at heart, he was a grown man of 180 centimeters, and she could feel his reactions very clearly. "Alright, Xiao Yan, that''s enough. People willugh if they see," "always clinging to Auntie''s embrace." After kissing Wang Shangyan''s forehead, Li Zhiyan finally let her go. Lew Huan was incredibly frustrated; unquestionably, Li Zhiyan''s actions were a bit over the line. It made him want to curse, but he knew very well that his ex-wife treated Li Zhiyan like a child and any furtherint might mean he wouldn''t be able to return home. For some reason, Lew Huan was starting to regret pursuing Rao Shi Yun. He had this nagging feeling that Li Zhiyan was stealing his family from him. "I should get going." Lew Huan said no more and stood up to leave the supermarket. "Are you alright, Auntie Wang?" "I''m fine, Xiao Yan, don''t mind him. Let''s go to the cabin and cool off with the air conditioning." Wang Shangyan took Li Zhiyan''s hand and led him to the cabin. "Auntie Wang," "Your lips are really pretty." Sitting down, Li Zhiyan genuinely admired her. All these aunties had very small and beautiful mouths, but the smallest lips belonged to Aunt Fang; she seemed to have trouble eating. "You kid, you even appreciate a woman''s lips." "Of course, I can tell if they''re pretty or not." "Auntie Wang, can I kiss your lips in the future?" Wang Shangyan felt Li Zhiyan knew less than he should; he had already kissed her before, even tasting her mouth. "No, Xiao Yan." "Kissing on the lips is for couples." "Auntie Wang, I really want to kiss you." "You can''t." "Xiao Yan, Auntie can kiss your cheek, you understand?" While Wang Shangyan stroked Li Zhiyan''s head, her tone was still full of doting affection. Li Zhiyan gently hugged Wang Shangyan, then buried his head in her bosom. Chapter 190: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_3 "I understand, Auntie Wang." With the fragrant scent of Wang Shangyan lingering on him, Li Zhiyan felt his objective had been achieved. To open up Auntie Wang''s defenses, subtle hints always needed to be given. Gradually and subtly, she woulde to ept his kindness. ... After leaving Wang Shangyan, smelling the perfume that still clung to him from Auntie Wang, Li Zhiyan was in a very good mood. He then started chatting with Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan, "Master, we can go to the area near the school that we talked about before. I have plenty of time today." Jiang Xian, "Okay, why have you started calling me ''master''s wife'' again? Your teacher and I are divorced." Li Zhiyan, "I think calling you ''master''s wife'' is quite fun." Jiang Xian, "You child, Auntie is waiting for you at the hotel." After chatting with Li Zhiyan for a bit, Jiang Xian picked up the storybook in her hand again. Ever since she found this storybook in the hotel, she had slowly be enthralled by it, often imagining herself and Li Zhiyan as the protagonists of the story. Sometimes Jiang Xian really felt that she and Li Zhiyan might actually work out. After all, they were both single men and women. If they were both men and women, why couldn''t she be with Li Zhiyan. Moreover, when doing certain things, her hands would unconsciously pick up this storybook. After reading for a while, Jiang Xian''s cheeks flushed with shyness as she left and took a taxi to the university town. Seeing Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s moodpletely improved. She felt that she was truly bing more and more dependent on Li Zhiyan. Getting out of the taxi, she gave Li Zhiyan a big hug. "Xiao Yan, Auntie has missed you terribly." Since the time she held hands with Li Zhiyan and was seen by Yen Zhengjin, and after kissing Li Zhiyan of her own ord, Jiang Xian''s mindset had undergone a considerable change. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan whispered hot breaths into Jiang Xian''s ear, then kissed her lovely face and slowly moved toward her lips. "Hmm..." "Xiao Yan, that''s enough." Jiang Xian did not resist, as she was getting more and more ustomed to kissing Li Zhiyan. But in such a crowded ce, just a peck would go unnoticed. If the two of them were to kiss for a long time like they did when they were alone in some corner, it would definitely attract a lot of odd gazes. An 18-year-old boy and a 41-year-old mature woman would look strange no matter how you considered it. Li Zhiyan did not continue to kiss Jiang Xian; he knew that although Jiang Xian wasn''t as traditionally minded as Fang Zhiya, she certainly couldn''t ept going too far. "Xiao Yan, hurry and take Auntie to see your milk tea shop." "Alright." Li Zhiyan walked shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Xian, bending his waist, and after a while, he adjusted his demeanor. "Auntie Jiang, the foot traffic near the university town is particrly high, and there are some shops for rent now." "With your aesthetics, if you choose some nice designs when stocking up," "you will definitely make a lot of money." This era is not one where money can be picked up so casually, but doing business and making money is still rtively easier. The real end times for brick-and-mortar shops wille in 2024. "Yes, there really are a lot of people here. Xiao Yan, do you think Auntie can do well in business?" "Auntie practically has no social experience." "I quit my job after getting married and became a full-time wife at a very young age." When she got divorced, she had some money, not much, but enough to open a clothing store. However, the idea of opening a store filled Jiang Xian''s heart with an uncontroble sense of fear. "Don''t worry, Auntie Jiang, you can call on me for anything." "I will always be your strong support." Looking at the very serious Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s sense of security was instantly filled to the brim. "Then, I will rely on Xiao Yan as my support from now on." She hugged Jiang Xian gently. The two continued walking forward, and before they knew it, they arrived at Li Zhiyan''s Zhichen Milk Tea Shop. Seeing the bustling business of Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, Jiang Xian was incredibly amazed. "Xiao Yan, this milk tea shop is yours!" "Yes, Auntie Jiang, this milk tea shop is mine." Jiang Xian couldn''t control the astonishment inside her. Along the way, there were at least five or six milk tea shops. Yet, the business in the other milk tea shops was far fromparable to Li Zhiyan''s shop. Clearly, it was all due to Li Zhiyan''s ability. "Xiao Yan, you are really impressive. Before, you turned the Brotherhood Inte Cafe around, and now this milk tea shop is thriving." "When Auntie''s clothing store opens, you''ll have toe up with some good ideas for me too." "Auntie Jiang, let me treat you to a drink. Do you prefer Mango Pomelo Sago or plum juice?" "Plum juice, please." After entering the milk tea shop, Jiang Xian''s mood improved a lot. ... At this moment, Yen Zhengjin had already gathered his and Jiang Xian''s parents, and was criticizing Jiang Xian''s misbehavior. He was absolutely confident he could control Jiang Xian. With his parents and her parents, no matter the grievance, Jiang Xian had toe back! "Jiang Xian really is too much. I only spoke a few harsh words when I was drunk, and she left home immediately." Chapter 191: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_4 "She''s been gone for so long, and she''s even messing around outside with a young person," After giving it some thought, Yen Zhengjin realized he had indeed been too sensitive. He knew his wife well¡ªshe would never cheat, let alone with an 18-year-old kid. She simply couldn''t lower herself to do that. Previously, when she visited the ss, she quite liked Li Zhiyan, in the way an elder would fancy a youngster. So, her holding hands and walking on the street with Li Zhiyan was probably just because they had a good private rtionship. Of course, Yen Zhengjin neglected one thing: he was already divorced from his ex-wife. In the eyes of thew, even if Jiang Xian went to a hotel with Li Zhiyan, it would be perfectly justified. Of course, Yen Zhengjin now intended to stick to the im that Jiang Xian was cheating. To cover up his own mistakes. "You''ve raised a good daughter, huh? Neglecting her family, not taking good care of her husband, running away from home after a quarrel, and even learning to keep a lover. Very good, indeed, very good," Jiang Xian''s father was holding a smoking pipe, puffing away at it incessantly, his face stern, clearly in a very bad mood. Jiang Xian''s mother, on the other hand, said angrily, "I''m going to call her right now!" Seeing his mother-inw''s demeanor, Yen Zhengjin immediately jumped out to y the good guy. "Mom and Dad, don''t get so fired up. After all, Jiang Xian and I have had so many years of feelings," "Just talk nicely to her and ask her toe home." "I''ve forgiven her for the affair." Thinking of his ex-wife''s pretty face, her pert breasts, and her slender waist, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t help but feel like a withered treeing to life again. It seemed that he suddenly felt an urge... There were plenty of young women, but to find one as beautiful, virtuous, and with a great figure as his ex-wife was almost impossible. He definitely couldn''t miss Jiang Xian again. This made him even more determined to coax Jiang Xian back. Tonight, he would increase the dosage and make sure to get in some good exercise. "Son-inw, thank you," The olddy grabbed Yen Zhengjin''s hand, visibly moved; she had not expected her daughter to be in such a situation, and yet he was still willing to stay with her. "Mom, you call Jiang Xian. I''ll talk to her and smooth things over," "Then all of you back me up." "Sigh." The olddy dialed Jiang Xian''s number. "Mom." Hearing Jiang Xian''s voice, Yen Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had regained something he lost. The feeling was as if Jiang Xian had never left him. "Wife." Yen Zhengjin hurriedly called out to his ex-wife, hoping to touch Jiang Xian''s heart. At this moment, in the milk tea shop, sipping on the sour plum soup made by Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian wanted to hang up the phone immediately. The insults she had received from Yen Zhengjin were unforgettable. If it hadn''t been for kissing Li Zhiyan so long in the corner, and him touching her leg for so long, she wouldn''t have been able to cheer up at all. "Don''t call me your wife, we''re divorced." "I''m sorry, wife. I apologize for what I said earlier," "I was drunk, that''s why I said those excessive things." "Haven''t you also done something that hurt me?" "Can''t we both make up, please?" "My parents and your parents are all at our house." "Your parents came a few hundred miles by train from the countryside¡ªdon''t you feel sorry for them?" Hearing about her parents, Jiang Xian softened. At this moment, she truly had no feelings left for Yen Zhengjin. The continuous insults and affronts to her person had utterly disappointed her. The love of the past had vanished like smoke and clouds, yet her own parents were both in their seventies. Having traveled to the provincial city at such an old age, if she didn''t go home, how disappointed would they be? "I''ll be backter." Jiang Xian knew that remarriage was probably inevitable. She could indulge herself and ignore everything, but to her parents, it would be a tremendous hurt that would prevent them from enjoying their twilight years. Overjoyed, Yen Zhengjin had actually considered having his son step in if this tactic failed. But unexpectedly, Jiang Xian''s parents had directly solved this thorny issue. Yen Zhengjin instantly decided he would take three pills that night. Let his wife experience true pleasure and properly make up for it! "Good, wife, I''ll wait for you at home. What do you want to eat tonight?" "I''ll cook whatever you want, and we''ll all have dinner together." ... After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xian slowly stood up. Then she prepared to leave the milk tea shop and go home. "Auntie Jiang, where are you going?" Jiang Xian''s heart ached deeply; she was about to part with Li Zhiyan, and after this separation, meeting again would be very difficult. At least, after remarrying, she wouldn''t be able to kiss Li Zhiyan or let him touch her legs. "Xiao Yan, my parents are here, so I have to go home," "In a while, I might get remarried." Li Zhiyan looked at Jiang Xian with a somewhat dejected expression and grabbed her hand. "Auntie Jiang,e with me for a moment," Jiang Xian was puzzled, but she let Li Zhiyan lead her into the staff changing room. This little room was simr to the small rooms in supermarkets, except there wasn''t an air-conditioning vent, just a fan mounted on the wall. After turning on the fan, its whirring sound filled the space, cooling the room considerably. Chapter 192: 102 Jiang Xian was heartbroken, and Li Zhiyan took advantage of her vulnerability_5 ``` "Xiao Yan, what''s wrong? Auntie''s not in the mood to kiss right now." Although she enjoyed kissing Li Zhiyan very much, the thought of her parentsing all the way to Wancheng, scared and worried for her sake, filled her with an immense sadness. Her heart was filled with a profound sorrow. "Auntie Jiang, I want you to listen to a recording." "I was afraid it would make you sad." "So I didn''t want you to hear it, but now, I think I have to let you listen." "I don''t want you to jump back into that fire pit just because of so-called filial piety." "A few days ago..." "When I was eating at the street food stall, I happened to run into Yen Zhengjin." "I overheard some things and recorded them with a pen recorder." Li Zhiyan pressed the y button. The insults Yen Zhengjin hurled at Jiang Xian were yed out one by one. Listening to them, Jiang Xian''s tears flowed incessantly, and her emotions began to copse. This was the man she had been with for almost twenty years. Those nasty, filthy, insulting words. Even strangers wouldn''t utter them casually. Words like "whore" and "old woman" kept spilling from Yen Zhengjin''s mouth. Jiang Xian''s heart went cold; this was what Yen Zhengjin truly thought of her. So this was how he saw her in his heart: cheap, vulgar, like a whore from a massage parlor that could be kicked out and reced with a female student whenever he pleased. After ying the entire recording for Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan''s reward of one hundred thousand yuan and his godlike good looks were deposited into his ount. The bnce finally reached 1.06 million¡­ But now, he had no mood to care about these things. These days, his closeness with Jiang Xian made each other upy important ces in their hearts. Li Zhiyan was a sentimental man, but he was also a deeply affectionate one. Although he was emotional, each of his feelings was genuine. "Auntie Jiang, there are actually many more nasty things said, but I just couldn''t keep recording." "That''s why I walked away; I was afraid if I stayed any longer, I wouldn''t be able to stop myself from hitting him." Yen Zhengjin hadn''t done anything illegal; if he assaulted him, he would be detained. Li Zhiyan did not want to do anything illegal. "But seeing you about to jump into the fire, I just couldn''t stand it anymore." "You need to understand, filial piety also requires the right approach and methods." "Not rushing to remarry such an animal just to put your parents'' minds at ease." "I don''t want you to do this; I can''t bear it." Li Zhiyan stepped forward and in the narrow space, He hugged Jiang Xian tightly, inhaling her scent, and simply waited quietly for her to vent her emotions. In middle age, there really were many unavoidable frustrations. Eventually, Jiang Xian couldn''t hold back her tears and hugged Li Zhiyan back, the two of them holding each other tightly. And Li Zhiyan''s hand rested on Jiang Xian''s beautiful legs. Such gestures, Jiang Xian no longer minded them, after all, Li Zhiyan had already felt her legs thoroughly during their previous kissing. Touching them again seemed inconsequential. Crying, Jiang Xian took the initiative to find Li Zhiyan''s lips. "Xiao Yan, kiss Auntie..." "Auntie wants to kiss you." How could Li Zhiyan possibly refuse Jiang Xian''s advancement? Her constant fragrance invited Li Zhiyan to seek her lips. Jiang Xian responded with all her might. Kissing was an incredibly relieving activity. Doing such things with Li Zhiyan... Helped clear Jiang Xian''s mind gradually. She decided she must leave that man and would never go back to him! As for her parents, she would find the opportunity to exin things to them. Now she would stop contacting them. After parting ways with Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian gently wiped her mouth. The cherry color of her lipstick looked remarkably seductive. "Xiao Yan, you''re right, Auntie mustn''t blindly follow the path of filial piety." "In the future, Auntie will open a store nearby." "From now on I will live there and start a new life." Li Zhiyan hugged Jiang Xian again. "Good, Auntie Jiang, that''s the best, to get far away from that man." "Xiao Yan, it''s good to have you. Otherwise, Auntie might have been kept in the dark for her entire life." After wiping away her tears, Jiang Xian''s emotions had stabilized quite a bit. Crying and kissing were both outlets for emotional release. "Auntie Jiang, in the future, can I be affectionate with you whenever I see you?" "Hmm..." Continue your saga on m|v-l''e -NovelBin Jiang Xian nodded gently; being affectionate with Li Zhiyan made her feel rxed, and now that she was divorced, There was no one to stop her from kissing Li Zhiyan every day. "Auntie Jiang..." "I have another wish, will you grant it to me?" ncing at Jiang Xian''s curves, Li Zhiyan spoke seriously. "What wish?" "I''m a bit hungry, I''d like to see..." Li Zhiyan leaned into Jiang Xian''s ear. ``` Chapter 193: 103 Its the safe period now, we wont need it this time! Jiang Xian''s cheeks were flushed from the long passionate kiss with Li Zhiyan. At this moment, the blush was rapidly spreading. Li Zhiyan actually wanted her to feed him. Though it was just for a look, but... This was really not the same concept as kissing. "Auntie Jiang, please, will you..." Li Zhiyan began to plead with Jiang Xian, and without a doubt, this tactic was very effective. Even though he was already 18, in front of these 40+ aunts, he was aplete child. Thus, he could fully utilize the advantage of being a child, to pester them the right way when appropriate. "Mother Jiang, I''m begging you." Li Zhiyan''s address made Jiang Xian unable to hold back herughter. "Do you really want me to be your mother? How about you recognize me as your godmother now?" "I was just casually using a title." "Auntie Jiang, please, will you fulfill my wish?" "I have never seen it, even at my age." "Just let me take a look." Jiang Xian was silent for a long time but eventually nodded. "Alright..." Afterward, she nced at the buttons on her clothing. ... Once Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian stepped out of the milk tea shop, she turned off her phone. Though she knew her parents would worry, as Li Zhiyan had said, she couldn''t be foolishly obedient. Being foolishly obedient would ultimately only cause pain to both her and her parents; such obedience was indeed meaningless. So it was better not to answer calls for now. "Auntie Jiang, this store looks very good." After passing a street corner, Li Zhiyan said, looking at a shop with a ''Prime Location for Rent'' sign. "Xiao Yan, how much is the rent for your storefront?" Li Zhiyan remembered how Wang Shangyan had helped him negotiate the price; without her, he would have had to pay more. "Around 140,000." Comparing the store''s size, Jiang Xian''s voice had a note of distress. "This store, it must be over 250,000 a year." "Auntie Jiang, stores are indeed expensive, but that''s how business is, arge part of it is about working for thendlord." "But don''t worry, once you make money, you can buy the store, and then you won''t have to pay thendlord any rent." Jiang Xian was amused by Li Zhiyan''s words. "How could Auntie make that much money? I''ve never done business before, and who knows, I might lose everything and really end up homeless on the streets." Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian''s hand and got close to her. "Auntie Jiang, I could never bear to let you sleep on the streets." "If you really lose money, I will support you and keep you by my side forever." Jiang Xian stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. "Xiao Yan, do you really want Auntie to stay with you forever?" "Of course, if Auntie Jiang could always be with me, I couldn''t be happier." "I will cherish Auntie Jiang every day." Jiang Xian blushed. She was very clear about Li Zhiyan''s way of showing filial piety. "Auntie Jiang, if you have decided, let''s rent this space." "Okay." Jiang Xian''s resolve strengthened. She knew she couldn''t go back to her former home. She had no rtionship with Yen Zhengjin now. And there would be no rtionship in the future. Her rtionship with him had endedpletely; no matter the reason, there was no possibility of remarriage. Subsequently, Li Zhiyan contacted thendlord. After some bargaining with thendlord who arrived, Explore hidden tales at m,v l''e-NovelBin they rented the store for 240,000 a year. Thendlord was very happy. The location was good, butpared to other ces, it was quite expensive, and sometimes hard to rent out. The property had been vacant for a full half a month, so it was great to have a new tenant. After thendlord left, the two stood in the dusty shop. Jiang Xian waved her hand to disperse the dust around her. "Auntie Jiang, this ce is nice." "There''s a small room in the back, a small kitchen, and a bathroom. You can do everything including showering here." "You can live here normally." "When I''m free after ss, I''lle to bring you drinks." "Once the business picks up, you can hire an employee." "Then you''ll be rtively free, and we''ll have more time together." Hearing this, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but long for such a life. It must be a very happy life. "Great, then I can see you often too." Then, Jiang Xian spoke solemnly, "Xiao Yan, I still feel a bit uneasy." "Can this business really take off?" "Don''t worry!" Li Zhiyan was encouraging Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang! No matter what, I will be by your side. Even if things don''t work out, I will make sure you''re happy for the rest of your life." Jiang Xian''s heart was filled with emotion, and she couldn''t help but hug Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Jiang, selling clothes is mainly about style." "Your fashion sense is so beautiful, so you will definitely make big sales, and losing money is simply impossible." "So just be at ease, let''s first contact a renovationpany." "I''ll find someone to help you with the business licenseter." "Renovating here is also easy, it can be done in just a few days." Chapter 194: 103 Its a safe period now, we dont need it this time!_2 After running the milk tea shop and inte caf¨¦, Li Zhiyan gained some experience in opening stores, which was more than enough to guide Jiang Xian. "Okay..." The more Jiang Xian interacted with Li Zhiyan, the more capable she believed him to be. Getting a business license was difficult, yet he could handle it with ease. Coming from a poor background, he truly was a self-made man, a perfect child, indeed. If only he were her own son. For some reason, Jiang Xian''s mind reyed the image of him scrutinizing her closely. Her heart felt incredibly shy. Before long, the renovation team arrived, and after Jiang Xian expressed her stylistic preferences for the interior, they said they couldplete the work within three days. In the following time, the two of them stood there, overseeing the renovation work. It wasn''t until after seven o''clock, when the renovation team finished for the day, that Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian left the ce. "Auntie Jiang, let''s go have dinner." "Sure." Jiang Xian had gone through a whirlwind of emotions that day, so she was quite hungry now. The pair arrived at a restaurant, and after ordering, Li Zhiyan ced his hand on Jiang Xian''s beautiful leg. "Xiao Yan, what are you doing, there are so many people around." "We''re in a corner, Auntie Jiang, it''s fine." "I''m just touching your leg." Though Jiang Xian blushed, she didn''t say anything. After all, leg touching had be quitemon between her and Li Zhiyan. Even kissing was a frequent urrence. And with her emotions running high, she had taken the initiative to kiss himst time, and today was no different. She had even actively advised Li Zhiyan on what to do. "Xiao Yan, be careful not to let others see." "Then I''ll cover it with your skirt and there will be no problem." Li Zhiyan lifted Jiang Xian''s skirt to hide his hand from view. Before long, the waiter began serving the dishes. Jiang Xian quickly grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand, halting him. "Let''s eat quickly." "Okay, Auntie Jiang, try this mung bean cake." Li Zhiyan started to serve Jiang Xian dish after dish, which rapidly intensified the feeling of happiness in her heart. "Auntie Jiang, let me feed you." Watching Li Zhiyan pick up a piece of stir-fried pork with his chopsticks, Jiang Xian opened her mouth to receive it, her heart brimming with happiness. Somehow, Jiang Xian felt more and more like being with Li Zhiyan was like being in a romantic rtionship. And the image of Li Zhiyan watching her intently echoed in Jiang Xian''s mind. ... Jiang Xian''s mood had improved significantly, and as a store owner, she found sce and hope for the future. On the other hand, Yen Zhengjin waspletely annoyed... He had never dreamed that Jiang Xian, who had promised to return, would change her mind so suddenly, even though he had been prepared to take three pills that night! It infuriated Yen Zhengjin that neither Jiang Xian''s parents nor his own could reach her by phone. Latter on, she went as far as to turn off her phonepletely, suggesting she was determined not to return. Jiang Xian''s parents stood there, feeling a deep sense of shame. Find your next read on m_v l|e-NovelBin Their daughter was the one who had an affair, and now she was refusing to return, a modern-day Pan Jinlian. They found the situation unbearable. "Son-inw, your dad and I will go out and look for her." By this point, no one had eaten, and it was quitete for two people in their seventies to be out searching for her, clearly inappropriate. But Yen Zhengjin said nothing and just watched the elderly couple leave. Afterwards, he sat down on the sofa, his mind upied with memories of her beautiful face and graceful figure. Was he really about to lose all of it? Thinking about it made Yen Zhengjin incredibly frustrated. Why hadn''t he cherished the time when his former wife was by his side? If only he had taken better care of himself, how happy he would be now. Could he and his ex-wife remarry? As he pondered, visions of the arcade floated in Yen Zhengjin''s mind once again, and he felt the urge to game resurfacing. It was indeed time to vent his frustrations. "Zhengjin, where are you going?" "Don''t worry about it. I''m going to look for my wife." Yen Zhengjin grabbed his bag and left, watching the elderly couple struggle to search the streets for Jiang Xian. He sneered. Then he went to the ATM, intending to withdraw tens of thousands of yuan to continue "running trains" in the arcade. ... After they had finished eating, Li Zhiyan was about to pay when he realized that Jiang Xian had already secretly paid the bill. This made him somewhat contemtive. For a young fairy, it''s second nature for men to pay for meals, and he should even thank her for giving him the opportunity to do so. In contrast, it was entirely different with Auntie Jiang. Compared to her, Auntie truly was perfect, not only in age, appearance, and figure, which all matched what he desired but also in character, far surpassing the likes of Yu Sisi. "Auntie Jiang, you should call your parents now." "I think they''re probably not at Yen Zhengjin''s house anymore." Li Zhiyan was attentive, knowing that those were Auntie Jiang''s parents, so he needed to show concern. "Xiao Yan, you care so much about Auntie''s parents, huh?" "Of course!" The two of them walked down the street. Chapter 195: 103 Its a safe period now, we dont need it this time!_3 Li Zhiyan said earnestly, "This, it''s called ''love me, love my dog''!" "I like you, so of course I have to care about your parents." Jiang Xian''s heart was very touched, and she gently kissed Li Zhiyan''s face. After that, she turned her phone back on and made a call to her mother. "Mom." "You still have the nerve to call me, your dad and I have been looking for you all over the world." "Where are you now?" Jiang Xian didn''t want her parents to run so far. "Mom, where are you and dad? I''lle to you." After confirming their location, Jiang Xian took Li Zhiyan''s hand and hailed a cab. ... Seeing the two elders, Li Zhiyan also couldn''t help but feel a bit heartbroken. When his own grandparents were still alive, they, too, hunched over collecting scraps around the county town, just to earn a little extra pocket money for him. Back then, they looked just as unkempt. "Dad, Mom." As soon as Jiang Xian approached, the old man reached out to hit her. "Grandpa, what are you doing!" Li Zhiyan grabbed his hand. Although he was Jiang Xian''s biological father, he wasn''t going to allow domestic violence against Auntie Jiang. "You are the adulterer!" The old man had been a teacher his entire life, upright and honest, and couldn''t stand things like affairs. Even if it was his own daughter who had an affair, he didn''t show any partiality. Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned. What "adulterer"? Then he realized what was going on¡ªit seemed Yen Zhengjin had made up some lies. "I have no daughter like you, you''re well over forty," Your adventure continues at m v|l-e''-NovelBin "and yet you found such a young adulterer, he could be your son by age." Jiang Xian was also getting anxious. "Dad, things aren''t like that, Xiao Yan is just a kid, there''s nothing between us!" Li Zhiyan interrupted their conversation. "Grandpa, Grandma, it''s too hot outside, let''s go to that coffee shop over there and talk." "I''ll tell you the truth." Although the elders were furious, seeing Li Zhiyan''s polite demeanor, they followed him into the coffee shop. After the four of them sat down, Jiang Xian, looking at her parents across from her, felt more and more disgusted by Yen Zhengjin''s despicable behavior. Making her parentse out to look for her sote, and they weren''t young anymore. "Grandpa, Grandma," "it''s like this..." Li Zhiyan exined the whole story. The old couple were doubtful, but after Li Zhiyan took out a voice recorder and let them listen to the full recording, they finally understood the full story. "Grandpa, Grandma, think about it, you''re both of age now, and Yen Zhengjin still made youe out, he never considered you as parents at all." Both fell silent, realizing that,pared to them, this unrted young man actually cared more for the two of them. The old man picked up his hot drink and took a gentle sip. "I''m sorry, daughter, your dad was also deceived by that beast." "If your dad weren''t so old, I''d definitely go over and beat him up." Tears also fell from Jiang Xian''s eyes. Her once towering father now stooped with a head full of white hair. Even so, he still thought about protecting his daughter. "Forget it, I no longer acknowledge Yen Zhengjin as my son-inw." "Don''t think about going back to reconcile with him either." "From now on, our family will cut ties with him." Jiang Xian''s mother, Li Jianhua, also spoke with a choked voice, "I truly didn''t see it before, that Yen Zhengjin was such a beast, humiliating my daughter like that, he really deserves to die." It was a long while before the three of them calmed down. "You''re running a clothing store now?" "Yeah, mom and dad, I got some money after the divorce. Although Yen Zhengjin took arge portion, it''s enough to run a shop, and I won''t have problems maintaining my life in the future, so you two don''t need to worry." Jiang Xian said earnestly. "Good, that''s good, when we get back I''ll arrange for someone to introduce you to some prospects." "And try to find a good son-inw." Jiang Xian had no interest in that whatsoever. "Dad, I don''t want to date anyone." "What are you saying!" "How can you not want to!" The old man''s temper red up again. "You''re still young now, if not now then when? "Who would want you when you''re old? If you don''t have a partner, how can your mom and I be at ease?" Jiang Xian knew that her parents were concerned about her, but dating someone was truly thest thing she wanted. Yen Zhengjin had made her utterly regretful, and only if a man like Li Zhiyan came along would she consider dating. But he was only 18, and she knew that a rtionship with him was impossible. Then the old man looked over at Li Zhiyan, as if he had thought of something. "Do you have some kind of rtionship with this kid?" "Your dad isn''t inflexible, I can ept a love affair with a 20-year age difference." "After all, we live in a civilized society, one that is open and free." "A romance crossing age boundaries is not an extraordinary thing anymore." Li Zhiyan didn''t expect the old man to be so open-minded. "Dad, don''t talk nonsense, Xiao Yan is only 18," "and I''m already 41." "There is a full 23-year gap between Xiao Yan and me, it''s impossible for us." At that moment, the old man felt a sense of disappointment. He thought Li Zhiyan was a very polite young man and gave off a dependable impression. "Grandpa, I really like Auntie Jiang," "It would be wonderful if you supported us," Li Zhiyan said, and gently took Jiang Xian''s hand, making her blush shyly in front of her parents. Chapter 196: 103 Its the safe period now, we dont need it this time!_4 "Alright." "Thed has courage and boldness, Grandpa supports you in pursuing your aunt, as long as you are sincere, Grandpa will support you." The old man''s open-mindedness made Li Zhiyan find him more and more interesting. People with education are different indeed, ordinary elders would never ept a love that spans a 20-year age gap... "Thank you, Grandpa, I will work hard to win Auntie over, and in a few years, bring you an extra grandchild." Li Zhiyan''s words made the old manugh heartily, feeling that this young man was quite to his liking. "Alright, this time we''re staying in Wancheng for a while, just to travel." "Later on, we can have a chat." Seeing the two really starting a conversation, Jiang Xian realized just how thick-skinned Li Zhiyan was. Even dared to say something about having a grandchild. At the same time, in Jiang Xian''s heart, the details of having a grandchild involuntarily began to take shape in her mind. It was only after a long while that Li Zhiyan finally settled the two in a hotel. Afterwards, he took Jiang Xian back to her hotel to check out and moved their luggage into the shop. Ten o''clock at night... After buying bedding and making the bed, Li Zhiyan sat down to try it out and found it to be very soft andfortable. "Auntie Jiang, it''s good, veryfortable with the air conditioning on." Looking at the cramped but cozy little room, Jiang Xian felt an unprecedented sense of security. Not working for so many years left Jiang Xian feeling empty... Now with her own shop, she felt her confidence returning gradually. In the past, the only thing she did was... Just going to each inte caf¨¦ to check if Yen Zhengjin''s students were online, that was all. "Xiao Yan, you talked nonsense today, saying something about having a grandchild and all." "You can''t talk recklessly like that anymore, understand?" Li Zhiyan took hold of Jiang Xian''s hand, making her sit beside him. "Auntie Jiang, actually, I was telling the truth." "I really do like you, it''s just that your heart can''t ept an 18-year-old kid as your boyfriend, that''s all." Jiang Xian gently pushed Li Zhiyan away, her heart was still traditional, and this traditional liney between them, but it was being slowly cut. Li Zhiyan''s passionate feelings were continuously melting Jiang Xian''s rationality. Thinking about how much Li Zhiyan cared about her own parents... Jiang Xian felt an uncontroble sense of being moved, believing that Li Zhiyan truly held her in his heart. "Stop talking nonsense, Auntie is your elder, it''s impossible between us." "Dating is absolutely out of the question." Li Zhiyan smoothly wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian''s waist. "Why not..." "If not, you wouldn''t kiss me or let me touch your leg." His blunt words made Jiang Xian''s face turn red with embarrassment. The next second, Li Zhiyan kissed her again, Jiang Xian felt weak in her attempt to push him away, and then she responded involuntarily. After they separated, Jiang Xian seriously said, "Auntie only agreed to kiss you often to satisfy your curiosity, and it''s also a way to relieve your study pressure." "Don''t think too much, got it?" Li Zhiyan hummed in response... "Auntie Jiang, then let me take another look." "No, you''ve already seen it..." "Just ten seconds!" Li Zhiyan promised. After a long while, Jiang Xian did as he asked. After Li Zhiyan left, Jiang Xian went outside, pulled down the rolling shutter, and then double-locked the door from inside. Looking at the dim lights, a sense of security spread throughout Jiang Xian''s heart. She was now very close to Xiao Yan. This feeling was indeed very nice. She wondered what would be of her and him in the future. Back in the room, she took out the storybook from her suitcase. "In the storybook, both people could get pregnant, and during pregnancy, they still..." "Could I also..." "Jiang Xian, you''re so shameless." Jiang Xian cursed herself inwardly forcking decency. Yet, she couldn''t help but keep fantasizing about certain things. ... When he returned to the dormitory, the three lechers were very surprised. "Brother Yan is actually back in the dormitory today, did something go wrong with the girl opposite?" "What are you talking about, you''re making me sound too strong." Zhang Zhiyuan said enviously, "We are all dragons among men, but Brother Yan, you''re a giant dragon." "Your life must be more carefree than ours." After going up to his shop, Li Zhiyan opened the newly bought facial mask and put it on. A godlike face was within easy reach. In the future, to be even more handsome than Jiang Zexi, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help fantasizing about what that scene would be like. There''s no denying, Jiang Zexi''s good looks were on point; otherwise, he couldn''t have gone to Shen City to work as a male model and earn so much money. "Brother Yan, you''re even into skincare now!" "I bet the beauties in school won''t be able to walk straight when they see you!" After a thought, Su Quanyou''s inferiorityplex peaked, thinking that going on like this, Brother Yan will be a man without any weaknesses. "Tomorrow''s thest day of military training, are you going, Brother Yan?" "Forget it, I''m not interested in military training, and since the instructor allowed me not to attend, why bother torturing myself." Li Zhiyan opened his phone and looked at the 1.06 million bnce. He decided to look at houses with his mother, to secure a ce and let her rest easy. It was a very important matter. Chapter 197: 103 Its the safe period now, we dont need it this time!_5 Meanwhile, the system also released a new task. "Due to Yen Zhengjin''s failure to get his wife back by using his parents and inws." "He will let his son go to persuade Jiang Xian to remarry in two days." "Jiang Xian''s son, enticed by Yen Zhengjin''s promise of thirty thousand yuan." "Will go to Jiang Xian''s shop to smash it up, forcing Jiang Xian to remarry Yen Zhengjin." "Please prevent the incident and protect Jiang Xian." "Task reward: one hundred thousand yuan in cash." This time, the task reward was another hundred thousand yuan, which excited Li Zhiyan to no end, as the money wasing in faster and faster. Still, it was best to first consider buying a house for his mom. Chatting with a face mask on, Li Zhiyan slowly fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, the first thing he did was look in the mirror. Indeed, his reflection had transformed from a fresh-faced beauty to truly handsome! The effect was immediate! "Holy shit!" Ziang Zexi, who had just woken up, eximed as if he had seen a ghost. How had Brother Yan be so handsome? Su Quanyou and Zhang Zhiyuan, who were awoken by the noise, also noticed Li Zhiyan''s handsome face. "Brother Yan, you''ve totally changed, how did your skin get so much better?" "Exactly, you''ve turned into a real hunk! It''s over for me and Su Mengyue; I should start thinking whether I can pursue Li Hui instead." After getting out of bed, the three of them discussed for a while and all came to the same conclusion: men change drastically by the age of eighteen! Li Zhiyan had really be handsome! "This doesn''t make sense, Brother Yan, how did you do it?" Li Zhiyan pointed to the face mask on his bedside table. "It might be because of that box of face masks." After a moment of shock, the three rushed over and started grabbing for them. "Ziang Zexi, you''re already so handsome, you don''t need this!" "I too want to up my value! Maybe from now on, I won''t have to charge by the hour but rather by the job!" "Give me more, I want to get Li Hui! I need to be handsome!" Li Zhiyan didn''t care about the fuss in the dormitory. He took one and put it on his face, finding it ridiculous that the three of them were sticking on masks without even eating breakfast. He went to the cafeteria alone to get food. It was better to get handsome a bit quicker. Pile on the face masks so that after a week or so, he wouldpletely be a man of godly looks, surpassing even Ziang Zexi. By then, winning people''s affection would be much simpler. Li Zhiyan knew well that he lived in a society that prized looks. An ordinary person like him had such an opportunity, all thanks to the Wimpy System. When he thought back to how he used to refer to it as the Wimpy System, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of guilt. He had been too shallow, failing to realize the strength of the Wimpy System. Not long after arriving at the cafeteria, Li Zhiyan ran into Su Mengyue in camouge attire and Li Hui. "Li... Li Zhiyan? What are you ying at, cosying?" "Are you cosying a ghost?" Li Hui recognized that the person in front of her was clearly Li Zhiyan, who had recently grown to 180cm tall, which everyone knew. Upon seeing Li Zhiyan... Su Mengyue''s cheeks turned red, as her fondness for a boy could be that simple sometimes. In her heart, Li Zhiyan now embodied the moonlight''s grace. "It''s nothing, just a facial mask." "It makes the skin better." Li Hui felt speechless. A grown man using a facial mask was even more delicate than a girl, and immediately after waking up at that. That was being way too fastidious! Even Li Zhiyan felt it was a bit odd and subsequently took off the mask. In that instant, both Su Mengyue and Li Hui found their gazes fixed, unable to move away. So handsome! Li Hui felt as if he were like Yang Guo in a drama, revealing his face from behind a mask. How did Li Zhiyan be so good-looking! Su Mengyue, her face already flushed at the sight of the charming Li Zhiyan, felt her face grow even hotter. She then bowed her head, unable to look at Li Zhiyan any longer, losing all the qualities of a goddess in the hearts of other male students and instead resembling an ordinary girl infatuated with someone she liked. "Li Zhiyan, you''re so handsome, no wonder Mengyue likes you so much." "Shouldn''t you make a move now?" Knowing she didn''t stand a chance, Li Hui was more open about it. Read new adventures at m_v-l''e|-NovelBin Unable to control her shyness any longer, Su Mengyue ran out of the cafeteria. Li Zhiyan didn''t mind; Su Mengyue was pretty, but he wasn''t particrly interested at the moment. At least he wouldn''t take the initiative to pursue. Things would develop naturally in the future. If he could feel a hormonal reaction toward Su Mengyue, he wouldn''t mind. Right now, his main attitude was to live spontaneously and follow his true desires. After breakfast, Li Zhiyan sent a QQ message to Fang Zhiya, nning to have a good discussion with her that evening. "Aunt Fang, wait for me tonight." Calcting the days, it was also safe today. He had made a promise with Aunt Fang earlier; they could go without it, even if just once. But he could fully make up for the time. Fang Zhiya replied to his message quickly. "Okay, darling." Li Zhiyan: "Aunt Fang, can we make good on what we talked about before?" "It''s the right time now." Chapter 198: Aunt Fang wears high heels on the Simmons bed. Li Zhiyan had been looking forward to the safe period for a long time. It was always necessary to use protection. He and Aunt Fang had never skipped it before; this time was actually their first. Fang Zhiya: "Baby, don''t worry, Auntie will definitely keep her promise." "If you don''t want to use it, then don''t..." Li Zhiyan felt his hormones racing through his body. The thought of the delicate beauty Fang Zhiya possibly bearing his child made it impossible for him to control his thoughts. The military training was nearing its conclusion. Therefore, all the students were very enthusiastic, but Li Zhiyan didn''t care much about it since he hadn''t taken part in the military training anyway. After dinner, his best friend Li Shiyu sent him a message. "I heard our ss leader is driving a Mercedes-Benz S now." "He drives it to school every day." Li Zhiyan replied casually. He felt there were just too many temptations in this world. Like gambling, which is something one must absolutely not get involved with¡ªhe and gambling were irreconcble enemies. If Yen Zhengjin hadn''t been addicted to gambling, he wouldn''t have ended up like this with his wife. After the divorce, he couldn''t even keep his own wife. At the same time, Li Zhiyan could see Yen Zhengjin''s future. Consumed by the greed of gambling, his inevitable end would be very tragic. Waiting for him was an endless abyss. ... After breakfast, Li Zhiyan made a trip to the school supermarket. He was really starting to like this supermarket more and more, finding it full of the scent of hormones. Every time he came, there was a possibility he might coincidentally run into Wang Shangyan. At Auntie Wang''s, he could fully appreciate Auntie Wang''s broad and lofty bosom. At the same time, he could slightly bridge the gap in his rtionship with Auntie Wang, but to his disappointment, Wang Shangyan wasn''t there. "What a pity..." "Otherwise, I could have got cosy with Auntie Wang again." Li Zhiyan found himself missing the cherry-red lips of Wang Shangyan. He bought two bottles of water, and the cashier asionally nced at him with a blushing face. This made Li Zhiyan realize the benefits of good looks. Sure, talent could attract women''s attention, but it required specific opportunities and was more troublesome. But with a handsome face like his, the rewards were doubled with half the effort, and some frivolous women would even take the initiative to throw themselves at him. He had seen too many such examples in his past life with Ziang Zexi. Your adventure continues at m v|l-e''-NovelBin Several casual women from school had actively sought him out for a room. Afterward, as he walked around the campus, the trendy and dressed-up girls approached him asking for his QQ.However, he turned them all down; for women rated lower than C, he had no interest at all. Moreover, he was now more interested in mature women, and young girls really didn''t spark much interest in him. When he arrived at the sports field, the sses were already preparing for the final performance recap. On thest day of military training, everyone was happy, and the most difficult beginning of college life was finallying to an end. After Ziang Zexi and his two friends arrived, they allined bitterly. "I don''t see any change after using this face mask." "Howe Brother Yan, you''re getting even more handsome?" Wang Zhiyuan also said helplessly, "We''ve all been getting tanner during these half a month of military training." "Only you are getting taller and more handsome. This world is so unfair." Several people were somewhat resentful about the effectiveness of Li Zhiyan''s face mask. It was only when the instructor''s whistle for assembly blew did they run off. Many girls were looking in this direction, and Han Xueying, who had just arrived, also found it unbelievable. What are these girls looking at? "Li Zhiyan." "Aunt Han." After Li Zhiyan turned around, Han Xueying waspletely stunned, rubbing her eyes, doubting if she was hallucinating. Was this person in front of her Li Zhiyan? She could clearly recognize that it was Li Zhiyan, but at this moment, his skin seemed a bit fairer than before. And much more handsome, like a standard 180-centimeter tall hunk. It was true that boys change a lot as they grow, but the speed of Li Zhiyan''s transformation was perhaps a bit exaggerated. "Li Zhiyan, how did you suddenly be so handsome?" Han Xueying''s eyes were also filled with confusion. That was easy to exin. "I used a face mask, maybe it worked really well on me, so I became a little more handsome. Honestly, I don''t feel like I''ve gotten any handsomer." Han Xueying looked at Li Zhiyan in front of her, feeling her heart race. If she were younger, she would have definitely liked a young and handsome guy like Li Zhiyan. Even though she was past the age of judging by looks alone, seeing Li Zhiyan still made her heart beat faster. "That face mask works wonders then. Now I see why Su Mengyue likes you so much." Li Zhiyan, with his sophistication, fighting skills, and a transformation into a heartthrob during military training, what girl wouldn''t like him? "It''s a pity you don''t like her; she''s so pretty." Li Zhiyan looked at Han Xueying''s graceful profile and said seriously, "Aunt Han, I actually think you are the prettiest. No girl in our ss canpare to you." Instinctively, Han Xueying''s face turned a bit red. This young man had previously told her he liked older women and preferred those around 20 years his senior, and now he wasing over topliment her beauty. What on earth was he thinking... Chapter 199: Aunt Fang wears high heels on the Simmons mattress_2 Afterward, she felt that as a counselor, guiding students in psychological health was of utmost importance. In the future, she would need to chat more with Li Zhiyan and pull him off this wrong path of liking mature women! "Li Zhiyan," "You should pay more attention to girls your age in the future, and you''ll discover their beauty." "At your age, you should like younger girls." Li Zhiyan tried to gently grab the counselor''s hand. In that moment, Han Xueying felt as if she''d been shocked by electricity and quickly dodged, although she cared about her students, there were differences between men and women, and holding hands was clearly inappropriate. At this moment, Han Xueying felt that Li Zhiyan seemed to have a special feeling for her. She remembered that on the first night of school during the ss meeting, he seemed a bit off. "I got it, Aunt Han." "In the future, you''ll have to chat with me more; maybe then I can walk out of this problem." Instinctively, Han Xueying felt she should keep some distance from this kid who liked mature women. But as a counselor, wasn''t it her duty to care for students'' psychological health and studies? "Mm, if you have any thoughts in the future, you can chat with Auntie about them." "Auntie will help you correct anything that''s wrong." "Auntie thinks you should correct this penchant for liking mature women of yours." Li Zhiyan did not continue to try to grab Han Xueying''s hand, being clearly not familiar enough with her to do so, knowing full well that starting the car when it''s not supposed to run would only lead to a crash. In the end, it would just lead to ruin. "However, I don''t think there''s anything wrong with liking mature women, I have a cousin who is with a 40-year-old woman, she''s 21 years older than him." "And now they are nning to have children. Aunt Han, do you think it''s okay for a 40-year-old woman to have kids?" Han Xueying''s face becamepletely red; she hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan''s thoughts to leap so wildly. "At 40, one is considered an advanced age for childbirth," "It''s very dangerous to get pregnant at that age." "However, if she is healthy, there shouldn''t be a problem getting pregnant." Although the topic made her blush to her ears. But Han Xueying was just that kind of sisterly figure, able to chat with her students about any topic. However, no student had ever dared to discuss such a topic with her before. After all, she was a counselor. "That aunt must be quite healthy, and what''s interesting is that this aunt was my cousin''s counselor," "He got together with his counselor just as the university semester began." Li Zhiyan particrly liked to see Han Xueying blush; she was truly a sight to behold, and it had a very special charm. "Nonsense..." "How can teachers and students be together? It''s against morality." Li Zhiyan, while talking, leaned forward slightly. "Teachers and students indeed shouldn''t be together." "But a counselor is just a profession that guides students in life, study, and psychology." "Actually, it doesn''t count as a teacher, so it''s not against morality." "They are 21 years apart, and now they are nning to have children." Han Xueying''s heart raced. She and Li Zhiyan also had a 21-year gap. Was he hinting at something to her? "What..." "A 21-year age gap, how can they be together at that age." "And to get pregnant, Xiao Yan, you''re not making up stories to deceive Auntie, are you?" Li Zhiyan seriously said, "Of course not." "They''re already preparing to have kids now because the aunt feels she''s getting on in years, so she wants to have a child quickly." "There''s nothing wrong with them being together." "No..." After much thought, Han Xueying couldn''t figure out what the mistake was. Just because a woman is older, she can''t date someone younger? "So, actually, there''s nothing wrong with my liking older women." "After all, a woman can still have children and get pregnant at 40, and they can do everything that couples do." "Even if there''s a 21-year age gap, they can be together, right, Aunt Han?" After a while, Han Xueying nodded, her face growing redder by the minute. After chatting a few more sentences, Li Zhiyan turned and left, having given Han Xueying enough psychological suggestion for now, preparing for the future. Their rtionship still wasn''t deep enough, and it wouldn''t be good to talk too much now. It took Han Xueying a long time to snap out of her embarrassment, realizing only then that an 18-year-old kid had made her blush fiercely. Is there really such a couple in reality, with a 21-year age difference and the woman being a counselor? If it were true, could she also consider getting pregnant for Li Zhiyan''s sake? Suddenlying back to her senses, she found that her thoughts had been pulled far away by Li Zhiyan. ... Later, Li Zhiyan made a phone call to help Jiang Xian obtain her business license, then went to the clothing store. After arriving at the clothing store, renovation had already begun because the walls had been painted long before. So there wasn''t muchplicated decoration needed. Just some rtively simple designs. "Auntie Jiang!" When Jiang Xian heard Li Zhiyaning, her eyes were brimming with surprise. How had this kid be so handsome all of a sudden? Had she not noticed before? She felt herself bing increasingly unable to do without the young man before her. If it wasn''t for him, she might have fallen into an abyss of despair under her previous circumstances. If it wasn''t for Li Zhiyan, she would now have been deceived by Yen Zhengjin and still be in the dark, eventually facing endless darkness. Chapter 200: Aunt Fang wearing high heels on the Simmons mattress #3 ``` "Xiao Yan, it''s dirty outside, let''s go inside the room." Jiang Xian pulled Li Zhiyan''s hand into the small house, and after closing the door, the noisy sounds from the outside diminished greatly. "Auntie Jiang, the renovation is going very smoothly, isn''t it?" "Yes, there''s basically nothing difficult." "Once the goods are in, we can open for business." Li Zhiyan continued, "Auntie Jiang, your business license has already been processed, and someone will deliver it this afternoon." Jiang Xian, feeling Li Zhiyan''s charm, sensed her heartbeat elerating. Xiao Yan was really capable, many things that ordinary people found impossible were effortless for him. "Thank you, Xiao Yan." Li Zhiyan gently cradled Jiang Xian''s pretty face. "Auntie Jiang, let''s not say ''thank you'' between us." Jiang Xian, blushing, said, "Xiao Yan, why do I feel like you''ve be so much handsomer today?" "You seem a lot better looking than before." "Maybe that''s just a man growing up, Auntie Jiang, I want to kiss." Li Zhiyan could hardly resist as he looked at Jiang Xian''s cherry red lips, wanting to dissipate some of his hormones. "There are a lot of people outside." "We''re just kissing, not making babies, as long as we don''t make a noise, no one will notice." Jiang Xian was still traditional, feeling embarrassed about kissing with people outside the door. If it were Fang Zhiya, she would certainly never ept such a thing. "Alright... okay..." Jiang Xian slowly closed her eyes. "Auntie Jiang, I''ve missed you so much..." Li Zhiyan stepped forward to kiss Jiang Xian, and at the same time, his hand alsonded on her beautiful legs. Now this was Auntie Jiang''s bottom line, allowing her to be kissed and have her legs touched, so he had to make the most of these opportunities to stir up Jiang Xian''s hormones. Gradually, she became more yielding; after all, 41 was truly a time when a woman''s hormones were at their peak. This was exactly like his own age, 18 and 41, truly perfect. "Xiao Yan..." Responding to Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian''s speech was also a bit indistinct. "Boss, would this shelf look okay here?" It was only when the renovation worker outside called for her that she hurriedly pushed Li Zhiyan away. "That''s enough, Xiao Yan, I must go outside." After Li Zhiyan saw the Story Club magazine by the bed, he felt relieved. It seemed that Auntie Jiang really did read that Story Club often. "Student and Master''s Wife''s story..." As Li Zhiyan read these words, Jiang Xian quickly grabbed the Story Club magazine and stuffed it into her bag. "Xiao Yan,e outside with Auntie." "Okay..." After the two came out, the workers didn''t suspect that they had done anything inside, after all, with an age gap of over 20 years, it was impossible for them to do such things. Then, Jiang Xian started directing the workers on how to continue the renovation. A long whileter, she took Li Zhiyan to the doorway, where she felt a bit afraid he would insist on seeing the Story Club magazine. If that happened, she would die of embarrassment. "How are Grandma and Grandpa doing now?" Li Zhiyan''s concern for his parents deeply moved Jiang Xian. Discover exclusive tales at m,v--NovelBin He had been worried about the elderly just yesterday, the young man''s heart was truly kind. Perhaps that was why she and he were now so close. "They are traveling right now." "The old couple never really traveled much in their lives." "So they wanted to take this chance to really see the world." "My elder brother has alsoe." "After the shop opens, I''ll bring them over to see it." Li Zhiyan was also relieved. "That''s good." "Auntie Jiang, I''ll being over frequently during this time, if you need anything, just let me know." "Also, if you want a drink from the bubble tea shop, just go over and help yourself." "Okay..." Jiang Xian felt overwhelmed with a sense of happiness. She suddenly remembered the joke he had told in front of her parents. I will definitely win Auntie over. If she really started dating Li Zhiyan, what would it be like? He was so caring, she would surely be very happy. But ''he was born after I was'', this really was a big problem. She was now letting him kiss her, and even taking the initiative to kiss him. She also allowed him to touch her leg, and she had even taken him to tour the cafeteria. These were already very excessive things... If things developed further, she dared not even imagine. Watching Li Zhiyan''s retreating figure, Jiang Xian''s heart grew moreplex. ... Li Zhiyan knew that to further develop his rtionship with Jiang Xian, it needed strong emotional fluctuations. But all this was with Yen Zhengjin''s constant "assists." After returning to the bubble tea shop, Li Zhiyan found a spot by the window to enjoy the air conditioning. At the same time, he bought a facial mask from across the street and applied one to continue bing better looking. Now, whenever Li Zhiyan had some free time, he would apply a facial mask, continuing until the system notified him that he couldn''t be any handsomer. Meanwhile, he chatted with Su Mengchen, andtely, he had distinctly felt that her attitude had improved a lot. Most importantly, she would asionally take the initiative to talk to him, which, for Chenchen, was truly a significant advancement. The time to ask Su Mengchen out was getting closer. At the same time, he also sent a message to Gu Wanzhou. "Aunt Gu, it''s been a week, aren''t you going to go on a date with me?" ``` Chapter 201: Aunt Fang wearing high heels on the Simmons mattress #4 "I miss you so much." After opening Li Zhiyan''s message while handlingpany affairs at thepany, Gu Wanzhou... Had originally nned to continue giving him the cold shoulder, but seeing the words expressing how much Li Zhiyan missed her... Her heart softened again. "Very soon, in a few days, Auntie will go on a date with you." Gu Wanzhou sent Li Zhiyan a message. It had been a week since shest saw Li Zhiyan, and her heart truly ached with longing. She really liked Li Zhiyan, incredibly so. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been so close to him during all those times before. s, Li Zhiyan was adamantly against acknowledging their kinship. All he had in mind was for her to be his girlfriend; every time she thought about it, Gu Wanzhou felt helpless. "Okay, Aunt Gu, I can finally see you." "I want to hold your hand, give you a hug." Reading Li Zhiyan''s words, Gu Wanzhou''s eyes inexplicably began to blur. She really didn''t want to hurt the child, but the age gap was too great, she had already been divorced, and he had pursued her daughter. Oveing these issues was just too difficult. Focus on finishing her work, and when she was free, take the child out for some fun, to rx. She must not neglect him and make him sad. She couldn''t live without him in her life. ... Seeing that Gu Wanzhou was finally willing toe out, Li Zhiyan also breathed a sigh of relief. If Aunt Gu kept hiding, he could only rely on the system. But now that she was willing toe out, he could look for opportunities to advance their rtionship further. After all, he was just a child in her eyes, which provided various advantages he could use due to his status. While Li Zhiyan was chatting, two familiar people walked towards them from outside. Liu Zifeng and Yu Sisi. Li Zhiyan felt that Liu Zifeng was increasingly exuding a ''goaded sheep'' aura. Even though he was a tall, wealthy, and handsome man, he was being casually manipted by Yu Sisi. It appeared that in this society, one should never be a servile lover. Once you be a woman''s servile lover, you''ll only make her feel more charming and powerful, which leads to her ying with feelings even more. "Sisi, do we really want to drink beverages here? The ce next door isn''t bad either." Yu Sisi assertively said, "Of course." She wanted to see if she could run into Li Zhiyan. She had sent many messages to Li Zhiyan on QQ, but he had not replied at all. This made Yu Sisi very angry and also ignited herpetitive spirit! She regretted not epting Li Zhiyan''s previous confession. After all, Li Zhiyan was indeed too outstanding now... But Li Zhiyanpletely ignored her, and although he was excellent, she was sure she could find a man even better than him. He might earn a million, but could he make ten million or a hundred million? Yu Sisi decided to pull Li Zhiyan back first, then push their rtionship a step further. Coming here for a drink today was also for photo check-ins. As for Liu Zifeng, he was a rich ATM. "Then I''ll queue up." Liu Zifeng felt aggrieved, queuing in such hot weather. Although the line wasn''t long, it agitated him. Back when Li Zhiyan wanted to confess to Yu Sisi at the graduation party, He had nned on mocking him, but to his surprise, Li Zhiyan suddenly confessed to Yu Sisi''s mother, making him feel very embarrassed. And now, Li Zhiyan had be his biggest love rival. Liu Zifeng clearly felt that Yu Sisi was interested in Li Zhiyan. "Liu Zifeng?" "Don''t queue up, I''ll make it for you." "What would you like?" Li Zhiyan, looking at Liu Zifeng and Yu Sisi in front of him, felt a paternal sensation. He still had to work hard on nning for a second child in the future. With two children, he shouldn''t hold their past actions against them. Liu Zifeng was momentarily at a loss for words, but it was always good not to have to queue. "Sisi wants a chilled sour plum drink, and so do I." After making the drinks and adding ice cubes, Li Zhiyan walked out of the shop and handed the beverages to the pair. Yu Sisi was startled to see Li Zhiyan with a face mask on. "Li Zhiyan." "You, a guy, use a face mask?" Talking to Li Zhiyan, Yu Sisi inexplicably felt somewhat guilty. "I''m trying to improve my skin." "Right, men should also take care of their skin." "Military training is about to end, shall we go out and have fun afterward?" Yu Sisi thought that since Li Zhiyan wasn''t responding on QQ, he would definitely agree if she asked him in person. After all, she was so beautiful, having inherited her mother''s looks, Li Zhiyan surely couldn''t refuse her. "No, thanks." Being repeatedly rejected by Li Zhiyan, Yu Sisi grew irritated. She felt that although she had been shortsighted, she was still more than a match for Li Zhiyan. At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s face mask fell off. His appearance was nearly fully transformed, clearly the epitome of a perfect male idol. "You..." Instantly, Yu Sisi forgot what she was going to say, her face flushing red. Such a handsome guy, far more so than Liu Zifeng. No matter how materialistic a woman might be, instinctively, they are still swayed by good looks. It''s the reality of a beauty-oriented society, and Li Zhiyan noticed Yu Sisi blushing. He didn''t expect that his unattainable love from a previous life would now be shy in front of him, all thanks to the system. Chapter 202: Aunt Fang wearing high heels on the Simmons mattress #5 On the side, Liu Zifeng''s jealousy had reached its peak. How could it be, just during the summer vacation, Li Zhiyan, who was just an ordinary guy not even reaching 173cm tall, had be so handsome, even more so than himself! He was already acknowledged as a tall, rich, and handsome guy, but now,pared to Li Zhiyan, he felt inferior, his jealousy spreading uncontrobly. Yu Sisi blushed as she continued to invite Li Zhiyan. "Juste with us..." "Going boating would be so much fun." Yu Sisi''s tone became much gentler. "Not interested." Li Zhiyan paid her no mind, his thoughts upied with matters more important than her. He really had no interest in a woman like Yu Sisi. Afterwards, Li Zhiyan returned to the milk tea shop to continue applying facial mask. He was not far from reaching his most handsome state; he would be irresistibly handsome when he met Aunt Fang in the evening. Yu Sisi stamped her foot in frustration and ran off. She truly regretted it in her heart! Why hadn''t she gotten together with Li Zhiyan before? Who knew he could transform into the current god-like figure. And he was so outstanding, so young to have opened two booming businesses. He was perfect in every aspect; why had she not stayed with him? ... Time flew swiftly, and that afternoon, Li Zhiyan also helped Jiang Xian with some minor issues at her store. In the evening when he returned to the school for dinner, Ziang Zexi and the others felt even more the injustice of it all. "Brother Yan, your speed of bing handsome is too unbelievable. Is your facial structure different from ordinary people? You''re bing more and more handsome with those face masks!" Ziang Zexi gazed at Li Zhiyan''s handsome face... and also felt slightly inferior. "This swift change is outrageous, Brother Yan, would you be interested ining with me to Shen City during the National Day holiday to make some extra cash? With your looks, you could easily make thirty thousand." "Forget it, I''m not interested." Ziang Zexi''s side jobs were known to everyone in the dorm, and he felt no shame in it; after all, being a male model did require certain innate qualities. Not just anyone could do this job. "How about going to the inte cafe tonight?" "What about an all-nighter?" Zhang Zhiyuan suggested ying games together. "I think that''s a good idea; I still have a three-month camouge M4 in CF. Let''s enjoy tonight thoroughly, we won''t get as many chances in the future." With military training over, the true college life was starting, and everyone felt an inexplicable excitement. "I won''t join you, I have something to do tonight." "You must be on a date again! Then it''s just the three of us going. Brother Yan, I''m really envious of your life." "Truly carefree." The three of them always imagined that Li Zhiyan, who often didn''te back to the dorm, must be out having fun. Li Zhiyan didn''t bother exining; he simply had a quick dinner, then went straight home. ... Fang Zhiya got off work a bitte today, so Li Zhiyan arrived home first. After a thoroughly refreshing shower, the summer heatpletely dissipated. Just out of the shower, Li Zhiyan saw Fang Zhiya returning home, wrapped up tight, her attire clearly soaked with sweat. "Aunt Fang..." Li Zhiyan approached and embraced Fang Zhiya. "Xiao Yan, let Auntie take a shower, I am all sweaty." Fang Zhiya knew that it was time to fulfill today''s promise and Li Zhiyan was not in a hurry either. Indeed, a shower was called for in this weather. "Then I''ll wait for you in the bedroom." ... When Fang Zhiya arrived at the master bedroom wearing a ck chiffon nightgown and high heels, Li Zhiyan, who was waiting by the door, immediately embraced her, and eagerly kissed her cherry lips. "Aunt Fang..." "I''ve missed you so much." "Mmm... Darling, Auntie has missed you too." "Auntie loves you..." The usually traditional Fang Zhiya, in moments of passion, boldly expressed her love for Li Zhiyan. Fang Zhiya couldn''t control her emotions, clinging tightly to Li Zhiyan, responding to his kiss. After a long while, Li Zhiyan lifted Fang Zhiya in his arms. "Aunt Fang, this time I will take very good care of you." "Xiao Yan, take off Auntie''s high heels." Li Zhiyan, however, felt there was no need to remove the high heels. "Aunt Fang, keep them on. They''re only worn inside the house, so they''re very clean." "Later, you''ll see how happy your high heels can be." "Okay... Darling..." Fang Zhiya, who had done so much for Li Zhiyan, also felt there was nothing she wouldn''t do for him. After Li Zhiyanid her down, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him of her own initiative. "My love, with no reservations, love your Auntie..." Chapter 203: 105 million target achieved! Buying a new house to honor my mom ``` Fang Zhiya felt that she was falling deeper in love with Li Zhiyan every day. Unable to live without him, her kisses with Li Zhiyan were incredibly passionate. A pair of fair, beautiful legs were also wrapped around Li Zhiyan''s. Unable to bear parting with him. "Aunt Fang... we''re not going to conceive today, right?" After kissing Fang Zhiya for a while, Li Zhiyan seriously asked. He knew that Fang Zhiya only nned to have a child with him next month. "Just once, it''s no big deal." "Aunt Fang isn''t the type who gets pregnant easily." "Baby, just rx." "Don''t worry about so much, just be happy today." "Aunt Fang loves you..." Now, for Fang Zhiya, there was nothing she wouldn''t do for Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan was her entire world. Li Zhiyan slowlyid down, and what followed was very natural. ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he felt Fang Zhiya still holding him tightly. The blush on her pretty face hadn''t faded, but the visible happiness made Li Zhiyan feel very reassured. He had never imagined that he could live with Liu Yaolong''s mother every day. And Aunt Fang always amodated his every request. After lightly kissing Fang Zhiya''s face, she gradually awoke. "Aunt Fang will go make breakfast for you." Upon waking, the first thing Fang Zhiya thought of was to make breakfast for Li Zhiyan. "Okay, Aunt Fang, let''s go wash up together." Noticing Fang Zhiya walking unsteadily, Li Zhiyan supported her. Recalling the events before, Fang Zhiya still felt shy. Because it could only happen once this month. So for a full two hours. He truly didn''t want to end things hastily. "Xiao Yan, sit on the sofa. Aunt Fang will cook for you; I still have to go to workter." "Okay." Li Zhiyan once again wrapped his arms around Fang Zhiya''s slender waist and then kissed her red lips. Aunt Fang''s lips were really small, which made it a bit difficult for her to eat. "Alright, baby..." "Go sit and wait." ... Quite some timeter, due to not having enough time, Fang Zhiya brought out a very simple breakfast from the kitchen. "Baby, there wasn''t enough time today, so Aunt Fang made a simpler breakfast." "It''s fine, Aunt Fang, anything you make is delicious." Holding Fang Zhiya''s hand, Li Zhiyan pulled her to sit on hisp. Then they ate breakfast together, and afterwards, they left the house hand in hand. Wrapped up tightly, Fang Zhiya truly felt blissful about such acts. And she remembered clearly, Li Zhiyan called her by those joking nicknames many times yesterday, and she even responded. "Baby, Aunt Fang is leaving." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan stepped forward, gently embraced Fang Zhiya, and then took advantage of their surroundings being unobserved. He kissed Fang Zhiya. "Xiao Yan!" Fang Zhiya''s face turned red instantly, her body also instinctively slumped. This could be seen by anyone outside. If someone saw an 18-year-old kissing a 42-year-old woman, what would they think? "It''s fine, Aunt Fang, we won''t be noticed, go on." "Hmm..." With a flushed face, Fang Zhiya left. She realized that whenever she was with Li Zhiyan, she would blush. Even when trying to control her emotions, Xiao Yan always found strange ways. To make her feel shy. Watching Fang Zhiya''s retreating figure, Li Zhiyan nned to check the store before contacting his mother. His mother was off today and could go house hunting. ... At this moment, Yen Zhengjin was sitting in front of a Forest Dance game in an arcade, continuously betting on animals. As he lost more money, he wagered bigger stakes, and the owner who was watching from the counter was extremely pleased. This Mr. Yen was really a godsend, the money he had handed over by himself was more than ten other gamblersbined. Who would have thought that such a highly educated intellectual didn''t understand that gambling is nothing but a scam? No matter how much money a gambler has, they will eventually lose everything; in the world of gambling, this is an ironw. After another miss, the fifty thousand yuan Yen Zhengjin brought werepletely gone. After cursing a few times, he left the arcade. Just as he arrived at the ATM to withdraw another fifty thousand yuan, an unprecedented sense of emptiness overwhelmed him. What am I doing, I''ve lost so much money already, why not stop now? Now, even his wife had drifted away from him, and he felt as if he had nothing left. After canceling the transaction, Yen Zhengjin went to the entrance and sat down like a homeless person, his unkempt appearance from not washing his hair for days made him look very shabby. Realizing that his wife hadpletely left him. He was utterly regretful. "Wife... I miss you so much..." He started crying uncontrobly, with no regard for his image, not sure if he was crying over Jiang Xian, or the more than two hundred thousand yuan he had lost recently. Suddenly, he thought of his son; previously, he hoped his son could get his wife back so they could remarry and be together again. But then, how could he forget? Recently, he has been so obsessed with gambling that he had forgotten about his ex-wife. He then called his son. In a vocational college, Yen Lei, who hadn''t fully woken up yet, answered the phone. ``` Chapter 204: 105 million target achieved! Buying a new house to honor my mom_2 "Hello, Dad." Yen Lei had been addicted to gaming from a young age, so his academic performance had always been very poor. He even spent the entire summer vacation in the school dorm ying games without going home once, and he even asked for living expenses. Facing his hopeless son, Yen Zhengjin felt helpless. Yet luckily, he was rather wealthy, and in the future, his son wouldn''t have to worry about food or clothing. Although he had lost over two hundred thousand, their family''s financial foundation was still very solid. "Son, I have something to tell you." "Your mother and I are divorced." When Yen Lei got up, he didn''t take it seriously at all; he never cared about his parents'' affairs. He didn''t have much affection for his mother either. What he cared about was when he would receive his living expenses and allowance. This way, he could recharge in the game and be a big shot. "Hmm, if it''s a divorce, then it''s a divorce. I''ll stay with you." Yen Lei was quite pragmatic¡ªhe knew his mom didn''t have a job. If he stayed with her, his life would have no guarantee. "Good son, but I was actually hoping you''d try to persuade your mom to get back together with me." Upon hearing this, Yen Lei had no interest whatsoever. His parents reconciling or not had no significance for his life. What did it have to do with him ying games here? "Dad, you''d better think it over yourself. There''s no use in me saying anything about it." He got out of bed and turned on theputer, nning to enjoy a game first. "Son, how about this? If you can get your mom toe back to me, I''ll give you a reward of thirty thousand yuan. How does that sound?" Yen Zhengjin understood his son well... Without a reward, there was simply no way to get him to do anything for him. Although thirty thousand yuan was quite a lot, after the gambling experience, Yen Zhengjin felt like thirty thousand yuan was hardly any money. As long as he could get his wife back and freely do those things with her. It would be worth it... Remembering Jiang Xian''s graceful figure, Yen Zhengjin felt greedy. "Okay, Dad, leave it to me." Yen Lei was also excited¡ªthirty thousand yuan, this was a huge gain for him. ... On the way to the milk tea shop, Li Zhiyan saw the three show-offs from the dormitory. Even though they had battled overnight at the inte cafe, they still appeared very lively. In their hands, they carried bags from Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, obviously having helped themselves to four drinks. Being young was indeed capital, and very strong capital at that. "Brother Yan, good morning." "I''m really envious of you. We y games at the inte cafe, and here you are ying real-life battle games." Li Zhiyan couldn''t refute¡ªit was true what Zhang Zhiyuan said. He''d gone and emptied his magazine to increase his output in video games. "Alright, go back and sleep. y a bit in the afternoon; tomorrow sses officially start." After separating from the three show-offs, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but think about the matter of asking for leave. He wouldn''t be able to attend sses properly at school from now on. Asking for leave was a real headache. How could he quickly improve his rtionship with Aunt Han? Arriving at the milk tea shop, Li Zhiyan made himself several cups of iced sour plum juice before going straight to Jiang Xian''s store. After handing out sour plum juice to several renovation workers, he received continuous thanks. In such a big city, it was rare for someone to show them such respect. "Auntie Jiang." "The progress looks pretty good, huh?" "We can go buy stock tomorrow. Has the business license arrived?" Talking about the business license, Jiang Xian''s heart was filled with gratitude¡ªshe knew getting the license was troublesome. If it weren''t for Li Zhiyan, it would''ve taken her a much longer time. This time, without Li Zhiyan, her clothing shop could never have run so smoothly. "It has already arrived." "Once we''ve finished stocking up, we can open for business." Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian''s hand and walked into the cabin. "Then I''ll go with you to buy stockter on. The most important thing for a clothing store is the style!" "With your aesthetic judgment, there''s no doubt the clothes you pick will be stylish." "Making money will definitely be easy." Li Zhiyan praised Jiang Xian''s aesthetic judgment and entered the cabin with her. As they walked in, Jiang Xian subconsciously started to feel nervous. If she hadn''t put away the storybook fromst night... But after entering and seeing no storybook, she breathed a sigh of relief. She must have ced the storybook under her pillow. It was good that Xiao Yan hadn''t seen it; otherwise, just the thought would have been embarrassingly unbearable. "I hope so, Auntie. I don''t have much money left." "If I can''t make moneyter on, I''ll really have to go work at your milk tea shop." Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian''s hand, and at the same time, his other hand naturallynded on Auntie Jiang''s thigh through her short skirt. Feeling the warmth of Auntie Jiang''s beautiful leg, an uncontroble sense of happiness started rising in his heart. The feeling was so good... "Don''t worry..." "Auntie Jiang, I''ve said it¡ªI''ll take care of you, and I''ll definitely do it." Li Zhiyan expressed his fondness for Jiang Xian, saying, "I like you the most." Jiang Xian stroked Li Zhiyan''s head. Her eyes were full of doting¡ªif only her own son could be like Li Zhiyan. Her own son, Yen Lei, she had raised since he was young. However, their rtionship was quite distant; he only asked her for New Year''s money, and he spent nearly all his time on gaming. Chapter 205: 105 million target achieved! Buying a new house to honor my mom_3 Every time she thought about it, Jiang Xian''s heart would feel an uncontroble sadness. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Jiang Xian''s waist, then leaned in and kissed her cherry-red lips, coated with lipstick. "Ugh... Xiao Yan, you''re getting naughtier and naughtier..." "Kissing Auntie as soon as you see her." Jiang Xian really felt helpless about Li Zhiyan kissing her. After all, she was the one who had agreed to let him kiss her often, and she had even taken the initiative before. While Li Zhiyan continued to stroke her leg. A phone call rang out, and Jiang Xian, with her cheeks flushed, pushed Li Zhiyan away. "It''s my son''s call." Clearly, Jiang Xian''s expression was somewhat surprised. Her son had never called her before. Was he actually calling her today? Li Zhiyan didn''t speak but just quietly watched... He knew what kind of person Auntie Jiang''s son was. For the sake of the system''s reward, all he had to do was watch and see how things unfolded. He could understand Jiang Xian''s happiness; which mother in this world didn''t love her child? The instinct of motherhood is to dote on one''s children. Only if the child really did something extremely upsetting would a mother sever ties with that child. Like Fang Zhiya and Liu Yaolong, after thest time Liu Yaolong had framed her, her heart was utterly disappointed; now for her, the only important person in the world was herself. As for what happened to Liu Yaolong, she didn''t want to care anymore... She hadpletely reced Liu Yaolong in her heart, and all of this was Liu Yaolong''s own fault. And now, he was getting addicted to pretending to be a rich second-generation at school, even renting a Mercedes-Benz S-ss. So, it wasn''t hard to guess what his fate would be in the future. "Son, what made you think to call your mom?" "Mom, I missed you, just wanted to chat about family matters." These words deeply moved Jiang Xian; it seemed her son had grown up. He understood how to maintain the affection between family members. In the past, such a thing was unthinkable. Afterwards, the two of them chatted about family. Yen Lei was very clear that he needed to first build a good rtionship with his mother. Only then could he persuade his mother to reconcile with his father, which wouldplete his task. The reward of thirty thousand yuan was something he was determined to obtain! After saying goodbye to Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan left. It wasn''t the time to execute the task; he might as well take his mom house hunting. ... After leaving the shop, Li Zhiyan hailed a cab, and no sooner had he gotten in the car did he receive a call from his mom. "Son, have youe home yet?" Zhou Rongrong knew that Li Zhiyan had the day off. They had agreed over the phone to go house hunting together today. For this, Zhou Rongrong had even dressed up with great care. Explore more stories with m,v l''e-NovelBin "Mom, I''m on the way, I''ll be home soon. You get yourself ready to look pretty ande with me to see houses." "Okay." After giving Li Zhiyan a few instructions, Zhou Rongrong put down her phone and checked her light makeup in front of the vanity to make sure there were no issues. Zhou Rongrong attached great importance to today''s event. Going out to buy a house naturally required her to dress beautifully; for this, she had even worn a skirt she usually didn''t bear to wear, one that cost over five hundred yuan. It was the most expensive piece of clothing she owned, gifted by Li Zhiyan with the money he saved from his New Year''s red envelopes. Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhou Rongrong felt as if she was in a dream. Her son, who never seemed very remarkable, had suddenly made so much money that he could even afford to buy a house to honor her. It was something she would not have dared to dream of before. Fate was indeed a marvelous thing. A knock on the door sounded, and Zhou Rongrong, wearing slippers, hurried to the door. "Son, did you forget your keys?" But it wasn''t Li Zhiyan''s voice that replied; it was the voice of her best friend Wu Qingxian. "Not the son." "It''s the sister!" As she opened the door, Wu Qingxian eximed, "Rongrong, you''re looking so beautiful today." "What''s the asion? It''s not a blind date, is it?" After inviting Wu Qingxian to sit down, Zhou Rongrong said reproachfully, "Nonsense, I''m over forty years old; what''s there to matchmake? I''ll just spend my life with my son, awaiting the day he gets married and has children." Wu Qingxian felt quite emotional. "Right, like us divorced women." "If I were to marry, I''d definitely have to give a big part of my love away, and the love for my son would surely be much less." "I won''t marry again either, I''ll just stay with my son and wait to hold my grandchildren." "By the way, you don''t need to dress up so formal and pretty just for your son''s return. Those legs are really attractive, I''m salivating." "And your figure, maintained just like a young girl''s, I''m so envious." Zhou Rongrong''s face turned slightly red. "Today I''m going with Xiao Yan to look at houses." "You''ve saved so much money?" "No, it''s Xiao Yan who has earned enough money for a house, so he said we should go buy one." Wu Qingxian was somewhat stunned, her mind even felt bewildered. Li Zhiyan, that kid, was going to buy a house? Compared to her own son, he was truly extraordinary. Soon enough, Li Zhiyan opened the door and walked in. "Mom." "Wu Auntie, you''re here too." Seeing his mother''s best friend, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but remember the time he had hugged Wu Qingxian. She was probably the only woman who couldpete with Auntie Rao in terms of bust size. Chapter 206: 105 million target achieved! Buying a new house to honor my mom_4 ``` "Mm." "Xiao Yan, you''re so impressive, earning enough for a house so young. Can you take Auntie to see it today? I want to fantasize about it too." "The feeling of living in amercial property." Li Zhiyan said with a smile, "Of course, Wu Auntie, you''re my mother''s best friend." After they approached, Wu Qingxian and Zhou Rongrong were both stunned. "Rongrong, howe I feel your son has be so handsome!" "Now he haspletely inherited your genes!" "I''ve always said, men change so much after eighteen. You were so beautiful, a famous great beauty back in the day, how could your son be ordinary." "Xiao Yan, let Auntie have a look." Wu Qingxian walked up to him, touched Li Zhiyan''s face, and even kissed him. She found it quite normal, as she had watched him grow up. When he was a child, she often changed his diapers. Now that he''s grown up, kissing his cheek was just the same. "Qingxian, stop teasing him, the child is shy." Zhou Rongrong felt a mix of astonishment and joy in her heart¡ªher son had grown so handsome, which would make it easier for him to find a partner. She believed that the girl named Su Mengchen would definitely like him. Maybe she would see her daughter-inw soon. "What shyness? Didn''t I also tease him like this when he was a kid, and even flick his little..." Remembering the past, Wu Qingxian found it very amusing. Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat embarrassed; in front of Wu Auntie, he really felt powerless. "Let''s go." Zhou Rongrong went to the door, put on her high heels, and followed Li Zhiyan out. The three of them stepped out and directly hailed a taxi to themunity that Li Zhiyan had chosen. Left Bank Garden was Li Zhiyan''s preference. Left Bank Garden had many 140-square-meter, four-bedroom apartments. The living space was very spacious, and there would be more room for appreciation in value. He didn''t want his mother to live in those shabby rental houses anymore. What''s more, Left Bank Garden came with renovations. The wall painting waspleted, and the rest could be fixed up for them to move in soon. "Son, are we buying a ready property or a presale? I''ve heard presales are cheaper." Li Zhiyan leaned on his mother''s shoulder, feeling veryfortable. After Zhou Rongrong stroked his head, he began to enjoy the feeling of being a mama''s boy even more. Children with mothers are happy. "Mom, we''re buying a ready property!" "There are many factors with presales, many end up unfinished, and you have nowhere to im your rights, and you still have to pay the mortgage." "A ready property is a safer choice." "We''ll take a look at a fewmunities, and I respect your opinion." "Whichever one you like, we''ll buy that one." Zhou Rongrong gently kissed Li Zhiyan''s forehead, her heart brimming with happiness¡ªher son had truly grown up. But when ites to buying a house, it''s still about what her son likes! After showing Zhou Rongrong and Wu Qingxian twomunities, They finally arrived at Left Bank Garden. As they entered themunity under the guidance of the sales department manager, Li Zhiyan spotted someone he found quite unexpected. Han Xueying, it seemed he and the academic advisor were fated. "Li Zhiyan." Han Xueying was very surprised¡ªwho were the people with him, maybe his mother? "Teacher Han." "What a coincidence, do you live at Left Bank Garden?" "Mm." Han Xueying nodded. Before her husband passed away, he bought a small apartment here, and she was still paying off the mortgage. Thankfully, she had housing provident funds, or else she would be struggling to make ends meet. She never imagined she would bump into this student with a penchant for mature women. However, as an advisor, she still needed to take more care of him. "Great, Aunt Han, we might be neighbors. Let me introduce you." "This is my mother." "This is my mother''s best friend." "Mom, Aunt Zhou, this is my college academic advisor." Hearing that it was the academic advisor, Zhou Rongrong took the initiative to greet Han Xueying. After getting to know each other, Han Xueying curiously asked, "Are you looking to buy a house here?" "Li Zhiyan''s mom, you must be quite well off." Zhou Rongrong said with a smile, "Not at all, I''m just an ordinary white-cor worker; I could never afford a house here with my whole life''s work." "It''s my son who has recently made some money and is thinking about buying a house here." Speaking of this, Zhou Rongrong felt an overwhelming sense of pride. Only her son could be this outstanding. Han Xueying felt an uncontroble shock. Li Zhiyan was actually buying a house¡ªif it was in cash, that meant he had at least a million in savings! Eighteen years old, and he''d already earned a million just as university started. Suddenly, Han Xueying seemed to understand why Li Zhiyan wanted to take leave. You go to university to learn so you can make money after graduating. But now that Li Zhiyan had already achieved this, whether he attended ss or not didn''t seem to make much of a difference anymore. "I''ll apany you to take a look." The real estate salesperson also earnestly said, "Mister Li, our building number nine is up ahead." Building nine, 140 square meters, with an enclosed design for one household per elevator! Although there are two apartments on each floor of every unit, the elevator has doors on both the left and the right,pletely separating the two sides. ``` Chapter 207: 105 million target achieved! Buying a new house to honor my mom_5 The design is much more luxurious than that of a 100-square-meter apartment. This kid, he really has some skills! At 18 he''s achieved what many people can''t in their entire lives. After the salesperson took Li Zhiyan to the fifth floor apartment he was interested in. He pressed the code and unlocked the door. This way of opening the door made Zhou Rongrong and Wu Qingxian, ustomed to poverty, feel somewhat ill at ease. They both felt as though they had lived in Wancheng for many years, but their lives were entirely different from those of people with better economic conditions. After entering, there was the foyer, followed by the first bedroom. "This is the outermost bedroom, which can be reserved for the elderly." "It''s quite far from the other three bedrooms." "This way is the living room." Looking at the incredibly spacious living room, envy filled Wu Qingxian''s beautiful eyes. The living room was bigger than the entire apartment she rented. "The balcony is on the left, with very good lighting." "Moving forward, you reach the second bedroom. The ss door of the second bedroom leads directly to the balcony, suitable for children." "On the right, our design is for a study." "You can work and such in here." "Go further inside, and you reach the master bedroom." Zhou Rongrong really felt like she was dreaming as the salesperson opened the door to the spacious master bedroom. Could she really live in such a house? After looking around, Li Zhiyan began to inquire about the price. He could tell from Zhou Rongrong''s expression and eyes. His mom really liked this apartment. "How much for this apartment if paying in full?" "Full payment would require 1.02 million, but if you are really interested," "I can try to get a discount for you down to 1.01 million." In this era, housing prices are a no-brainer; one could buy with their eyes closed. "One million then, and we can sign the contract right now." The salesperson was a bit troubled as the house was very popr and the price was steadily rising with no worries about not selling. After considering his urgent need formission, he nodded. "Ah, okay." "One million, I''ll go prepare the contract for you." After the salesperson left, only Li Zhiyan and the three others remained in therge room. Looking at theid floor tiles and walls, Li Zhiyan knew that once the furniture was bought, they could move in. "Xiao Yan, can we move in very soon?" "Yeah, Mom, we can move in very soon after we buy the furniture." "Then let Mom contribute some money for the furniture." Zhou Rongrong was very proud in her heart. Her dear son could buy an apartment at the age of 18! Other people''s sons just couldn''tpete! Li Zhiyan didn''t object to his mom spending money on furniture since he only had sixty thousand left in his wallet; it would be somewhat difficult to fully furnish the house. There was no need for so many considerations between mother and son. "Li Zhiyan, I didn''t expect to be your neighbor as a teacher." While amazed in her heart, Han Xueying also felt that her bond with Li Zhiyan seemed to have begun. "Aunt Han." "Take me to your house to get acquainted with it, and I wille to visit you when I have time." Han Xueying nodded; after all, they were now neighbors in the samemunity, and her rtionship with him was different from before. But Zhou Rongrong was indeed fortunate, to raise her son by herself! Yet the son turned out to be so outstanding; her life was truly worthwhile. In the following time, Li Zhiyan signed the contract and made the payment. The apartment was now in his name... Then he visited Han Xueying''s home and noticed the ck and white photos ced inside. He knew that Han Xueying''s husband died in an ident, and she loved her husband dearly, so she had always found it hard to move on. After that, he went to the furniture mall with Zhou Rongrong and Wu Qingxian. By evening, the beds for the master and second bedrooms, the sofa, as well as the dining table and chairs. The cooking essentials were all bought. Zhou Rongrong and Wu Qingxian, having busied themselves the whole day, were exhausted. Zhou Rongrong picked up a basin, intending to wash her feet to relieve the fatigue. Li Zhiyan snatched the basin away. "Mom, have a seat on the sofa, I''ll wash your feet for you." Watching Li Zhiyan go to fetch water, Zhou Rongrong felt incredibly gratified at heart. Her dear son had really grown up. As Li Zhiyan brought over the footbath and sat down opposite Zhou Rongrong to help wash her feet, Wu Qingxian''s heart was brimming with envy. "Rongrong, you must have done so many good deeds in your past life to have such a great son, I''m so envious." Zhou Rongrong stroked Li Zhiyan''s head, also feeling very happy. "Your son is also very good, isn''t he?" Wu Qingxian didn''t speak; her son was increasingly driven by vanity, constantly asking her for money to buy luxury brands, and everything he ate, wore, or used had to be from America, or else he would feel embarrassed. In contrast to Li Zhiyan, he already owned his own apartment. "Mom, is the water temperature okay?" While massaging her feet to relieve the fatigue, Li Zhiyan asked with concern. Sitting nearby, Wu Qingxian felt even more envious. "It''s fine, Xiao Yan, won''t you help wash Auntie''s feet too?" "Auntie''s also been tired all day, and you used to drink my milk when you were little." "I am like half a mother to you." Li Zhiyan felt somewhat awkward; as a child, he was indeed fed by Wu Auntie, but howe he had no memory of this? "I don''t remember that." "What? You used to eat contentedly, and now you want to deny it after the fact." Chapter 208: 106 No need this time either, Fang Zhiya has gone soft again. Li Zhiyan felt a bit awkward; he truly didn''t remember his mother''s friend feeding him. But that also made sense; if Wu Auntie had fed him, then he must repay her with something simr¡ªLi Zhiyan was a person who knew gratitude! He understood the principle of repaying kindness. However, he hadn''t realized that in his childhood, he had indeed been spoiled. There really weren''t many women who couldpare to Auntie Rao; his mother''s friend was one. "Wu Auntie, please sit here; I''ll fetch some water for you." Li Zhiyan knew that the little food he ate as a child couldn''t be repaid fully; he would have to give back more to Wu Auntieter on. "Xiao Yan is such a good boy." Wu Qingxiany there, growing fonder of her friend''s son. After finishing washing his mom''s feet, Li Zhiyan went to fetch another round of hot water. Sitting down in front of Wu Qingxian, he gently picked up her foot. "Wu Auntie, let me wash your feet for you." "Okay, good son." Wu Qingxian hugged Li Zhiyan''s face, nting a kiss and leaving a lipstick mark, which made Li Zhiyan feel somewhat helpless. Feeding me really means she can do whatever she wants! Who else do I owe for a few bites of food? "Wu Auntie, I''m not actually your son." "What, you don''t want to? Back when you were a kid, your mom and I had already discussed making me your godmother." "But you absolutely refused." Gently grabbing Wu Qingxian''s ankle, Li Zhiyan slipped off her high heels. After repeating the process, a pair of pristine white feet appeared before Li Zhiyan''s eyes. Feeling their warm and soft texture, Li Zhiyan gently began massaging Wu Qingxian. He also remembered the matter of recognizing a godmother; back then, he was just in the third grade, his view of the world was very naive. At that time, he felt that if he recognized a godmother, he would have to live with Wu Auntie in the future, having her feed him every day. He liked his own mom the most and didn''t want to live at Wu Auntie''s house. So he was firmly opposed. Looking at Wu Auntie''s fair skin and feeling the touch of her feet, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat relieved; thank goodness he was ignorant back then. If he had been sensible at that time, he really wouldn''t be able to afford being naive in the future. While washing Wu Auntie''s feet, Li Zhiyan activated his massaging skills, determined to give Wu Qingxian a nice,fortable experience. "Xiao Yan..." Wu Qingxian closed her eyes. "Your massage feels so good." She couldn''t imagine that a simple foot wash and massage would feel like magic at Li Zhiyan''s hands! Making her feel the urge to fall asleep, and moreover, she seemed to have a natural reaction as well. "Wu Auntie, maybe it''s because of my practice," he said. "Thenter after you get off school you cane to Auntie''s house and massage me," she said firmly, since Wu Qingxian had spoiled Li Zhiyan since childhood and had even fed him. Li Zhiyan hummed in agreement. "Wu Auntie, rest assured, when I''m free, I''lle to your house." Li Zhiyan indeed liked his mother''s only friend very much; her treatment of him couldn''t be faulted; as a child, she always brought half of the snacks she bought for her son to him. And every time she saw him, she would hug and kiss him; Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but love Wu Auntie immensely. Happy to massage her as a show of filial piety, Li Zhiyan was very willing. "Good son," Wu Qingxian cradled Li Zhiyan''s face, leaving another kiss on him. On the side, Zhou Rongrong listened with a bit of a sour heart; this woman really wanted to be a mother to a son. After finishing washing Wu Auntie''s feet, Li Zhiyan went to the bathroom to pour out the water. Zhou Rongrong, looking at the warm new home, said, "Let''s go out to eat tonight." "Qingxian, you''ve been such a great help; we really should treat you to a good meal tonight. How about hot pot?" Wu Qingxian immediately nodded; for the sake of her son''s future housing, she had been extremely frugal; she seldom went out for meals, maybe once in one or two years. Thinking about it, Wu Qingxian envied Zhou Rongrong even more. Rongrong is fortunate to have such an excellent son; she wouldn''t need to worry for the rest of her life. Unlike herself, always thinking about saving more money, earning more money. "Let''s go," said Wu Qingxian, gently pulling Li Zhiyan''s hand, walking out. Zhou Rongrong felt a bit helpless in her heart; whose son is this, after all? ... After dinner, when the three of them returned, Wu Qingxian checked the time, knowing she should head home. "Qingxian, I''m going to head back first." "Xiao Yan, walk Wu Auntie home." "Okay, Wu Auntie, I''ll walk you home." After arriving at the entrance of Left Bank Garden with Wu Qingxian, she patted Li Zhiyan on the head, "Son, go back." "You really want to be my mom, don''t you?" Li Zhiyan said, looking at Wu Qingxian''s lovely face. Of course, he wouldn''t let Wu Qingxian walk back alone. "That''s true; I really liked you when you were little and wanted to be your godmother." "Your mom is a very jealous person and never agreed." "I begged her for a long time until she finally agreed to let me be your mother." "As a result, due to a twist of fate, you little rascal were unwilling, crying and shouting against it." Chapter 209: 106 No need this time either, Fang Zhiya has gone soft again_2 Li Zhiyan held Wu Qingxian''s hand, an action verymon between him and Wu Auntie since she truly watched him grow up. "Wu Auntie, I''ll take you home." After hailing a taxi, Li Zhiyan followed Wu Qingxian into the car. "Xiao Yan, it''s so far, why did youe with Auntie? Go back." "No way, Wu Auntie, I won''t feel at ease if you go back alone." Li Zhiyan was very serious. "Auntie is already 40 years old, what''s there to worry about?" "Even though you''re 40, you look beautiful, your skin is well-kept, you look so young, I can''t rest easy letting you go home alone, I have to protect you." Li Zhiyan''s words made Wu Qingxian very happy. After telling the driver the destination, Wu Qingxian kissed Li Zhiyan''s face. "Son, you''re so good." "But as a child, Auntie didn''t realize you were this handsome." Hearing Wu Auntie always jokingly calling him son, Li Zhiyan joked with Wu Qingxian as well. "Mom, maybe it''s because I''ve grown up and changed a lot." "Son, do you want to acknowledge me as your mom? Actually, it''s not toote now. Mom is still very young and can pamper you in the future." "Wu Auntie, I was joking with you." Li Zhiyan held Wu Qingxian''s hand; he really liked the atmosphere when he was with Wu Auntie. You could say whatever you wanted; Wu Auntie was very tolerant of him. But as a child, he always liked to talk back to her. "You child..." "Forget it, I know, Auntie and you are not fated to be mother and son in this life." "As a child so easily deceived, I couldn''t acknowledge you as my son, let alone now that you''re grown up." The two chatted, and Wu Qingxian talked a lot about Li Zhiyan''s childhood. Only then did Li Zhiyan suddenly realize how important his mother''s best friend was in his life. Many of his life memories included her. Afterward, Li Zhiyan gently leaned on Wu Qingxian''s shoulder. "Wu Auntie." Enjoy more content from m-v l''e|-NovelBin "I really love you so much." Wu Qingxian didn''t expect Li Zhiyan to suddenly say such a thing, and for a moment, her eyes became a bit moist. The boy wasn''t good at expressing himself, but he always remembered her in his heart. "Good child..." Gently hugging Li Zhiyan, Wu Qingxian tenderly kissed his face. After getting out of the car and seeing several lipstick marks on Li Zhiyan''s face, Wu Qingxian couldn''t help butugh, covering her mouth. "Alright, Xiao Yan, Auntie will take you to recognize the ce." After taking Li Zhiyan by the hand to the third floor of the dpidated residential building, Wu Qingxian opened the door. The home was very empty. "Your brother hasn''te back; I heard he''s very busy with the student council, running around everywhere with the president of the council." Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned; he knew Wu Qingxian''s son was at the same school as him, but he had never met him before and didn''t expect him to have contact with Yin Qiang. "Xiao Yan, why don''t you sleep here tonight?" "Getting home sote is quite troublesome." "That won''t be necessary, Wu Auntie." Although he liked Wu Qingxian, he had just bought a new house, and he had to go home to keep his mompany; otherwise, she would definitely be unhappy. "I don''t like sleeping in other people''s rooms." There were only two rooms here, and both were very small; if he stayed, he would only be able to sleep in Wu Auntie''s son''s room. Li Zhiyan didn''t want to sleep in another man''s room. "Then you can sleep with Auntie; is it okay if Auntie holds you to sleep?" Li Zhiyan knew Wu Qingxian was joking; Wu Auntie always treated him like a child. A kiss or two was okay. But it was impossible for her to actually hold him to sleep. "No thanks, Wu Auntie, my mom is waiting for me at home." "Alright then, give a hug to my little treasure." Wu Qingxian opened her arms wide. Li Zhiyan stepped forward and hugged Wu Auntie''s slender waist, dressed in a short skirt. Feeling the embrace of Wu Auntie. Afterward, Wu Qingxian took the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan''s face. As she was about to give another, Li Zhiyan moved slightly. This made her identally kiss Li Zhiyan''s lips. Her face turned red involuntarily, although he was the child she watched grow up, a kiss on the lips was clearly inappropriate, especially since Li Zhiyan was now a man. After recalling Li Zhiyan in his split pants as a child. Wu Qingxian calmed down, thinking it wasn''t a big deal to kiss the son of her best friend since childhood. "Alright, Xiao Yan, go back." "Goodbye, Wu Auntie." After Li Zhiyan left, Wu Qingxian went to the window, watching him leave the residential building, the reluctance in her heart growing stronger. She really didn''t seem to want Li Zhiyan to go. "This child has really be sessful now." "I''m so envious that Rongrong has such a good son." "I should focus on making money; in the future, I''ll buy a house for my son, get him a wife." ... Back home, Li Zhiyan''s mind was still upied with thoughts of Wu Auntie''s embrace. Only Wu Auntie couldpete with Auntie Rao, but Rao Shiyun''s D+ was still a bit stronger. On this point, Auntie Rao was truly unbeatable. "Son, you''re back." Zhou Rongrong had finished showering, wearing slippers waiting in the living room for Li Zhiyan''s return. "Yeah, mom, are youfortable here?" Zhou Rongrong looked around at everything, still feeling somewhat dreamlike. The house now had little furniture and was quite empty, yet she found it very warm and cozy. Chapter 210: 106 No need this time either, Fang Zhiya has gone soft again_3 ``` "It just feels a bit too spacious now. Such a big house, Mom is really not used to it." "If we''ve bought such a big house, will we lose money on it in the future?" Li Zhiyan sat on the sofa, leaning on his mother''s shoulder. "Don''t worry, Mom, this house won''t lose value, and it will appreciate in the future. In the future, you wouldn''t dare think about such a house without four million plus." Zhou Rongrong was startled by this. The house would be so valuable in the future? Over four million? If it were up to her alone, she''d never in her life be able to afford it. Thank goodness she had such a good son. "Son, let''s sleep here tonight, and tomorrow after you go to school, Mom will go back to the old house. Then on Sunday, we''ll get a movingpany to transfer all our things over here, and we''ll live here more permanently." Li Zhiyan nodded. "Mom, you should go to sleep early. I''m going to take a shower." There were many items in the old house, including many childhood memories of Li Zhiyan''s, which would definitely be moved over, especially the treasures inside his ''treasure box''. "Alright, son." After caressing Li Zhiyan''s face, Zhou Rongrong went to the master bedroom. Lying in a strange environment, she couldn''t feel any sleepiness at all. In her heart, she felt as if she were dreaming, never having gone to the Magic Capital or working overtime every day. She now lived in arge house, and her son was so aplished; indeed, she should not think about working overtime anymore. ... After taking a shower, Li Zhiyan turned on the air conditioner that had been installed that day; the new house was very spacious. It was ample for storing his treasures. Seeing the bnce of sixty thousand yuan left in his bank ount, Li Zhiyan knew... He needed to really get down topleting tasks and making money; he had always aimed to be a rich man. Now he owned a cybercaf¨¦, a milk tea shop, and a house worth a million. Coming back just two months ago, this was already an astonishing achievement. "I hope the system''s future task rewards will be more substantial!" The system''s rewards were now basically stable at one hundred thousand yuan, and Li Zhiyan was filled with anticipation for the growth of the system''s rewards. After chatting with Su Mengchen for a while, he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up the next day, Li Zhiyan saw his mother bustling in the kitchen. "Son, I''ve prepared a new toothbrush for you." "Just use some hot water; never brush with cold water, or your teeth might be sensitive in the future." "I know, Mom." Being a mama''s boy pampered with such care was truly blissful, and Li Zhiyan was always in a good mood. After sitting down at the dining room, Zhou Rongrong served breakfast. "Xiao Yan, you better eat quickly." "Mom has to go to work soon." Li Zhiyan felt reluctant. "Mom, why don''t you just quit your job? My ie is enough now." "You don''t have to work in the future, you could livefortably." Zhou Rongrong sat down and, while eating with her son, said, "Let''s not, I can''t always be by your side, I''m grown up." "I want you to always be with me. A child with a mother is like a treasure; I want to stick by your side forever." Zhou Rongrong smiled gently. "Alright, stop talking nonsense." "Mom would feel uneasy doing nothing; it''s better for me to work." "Otherwise, I can''t be at peace." Being over forty, Zhou Rongrong had many more concerns in mind. She worried about the uncertainty of life and by working, she could at least save some money for her son. It was a way to have a little capacity to withstand any risks. Li Zhiyan understood that he couldn''t persuade his mother; as long as she didn''t do overtime, it was okay. "That''s fine, but one condition: you mustn''t do overtime." "Alright, don''t worry, son, you know Mom doesn''t lie. I won''t do overtime in the future; why should I suffer if my son is so outstanding?" After chatting with Li Zhiyan for a while, Zhou Rongrong went to the door and changed into her high heels. "Mom, do you still remember how to use the passcode lock?" "I remember." The day before, Li Zhiyan and Zhou Rongrong had set the passcode to their birthdaysbined. And he had taught his mom how to use it. Only after getting affirmation from Zhou Rongrong did Li Zhiyan rest assured. After breakfast, Li Zhiyan tidied up the remaining food and only then did he leave the house with peace of mind. Just as he reached the entrance... Li Zhiyan ran into his counselor, Han Xueying. "Aunt Han!" Seeing Li Zhiyan left Han Xueying feeling a bit dreamy; Li Zhiyan was now her neighbor. "Xiao Yan." Walking side by side, Han Xueying''s mind recalled Li Zhiyan''sments about his cousin who was together with his advisor and nning on having a baby. Despite the embarrassment, she couldn''t help being curious about how things would develop and wanted to know more. Nheless, Han Xueying knew she couldn''t discuss such topics with Li Zhiyan; talking about it might give him the wrong idea. "Aunt Han, it''s such a coincidence that we have this affinity." Unlocking her electric bike, Han Xueying asked, "Xiao Yan, how are you getting to school?" "Aunt Han, I''m taking a taxi." "Forget it; it''s quite far and a waste of money. Let Auntie take you." Han Xueying was more than happy to take Li Zhiyan with her because she truly liked him, apart from the fact that this young man fancied women twenty years his senior. ``` Chapter 211: 106 No need this time either, Fang Zhiya has gone soft again_4 All the other ces were like a dream to her. "Okay." After sitting in the back seat of Han Xueying''s electric scooter, Li Zhiyan gently wrapped his arms around Han Xueying''s waist. Because it was a bench seat, Han Xueying could clearly feel Li Zhiyan''s body heat. Since her husband had died, she had not felt the warmth of a man. For a moment, an instinct awakened within her. Han Xueying suddenly regretted bringing Li Zhiyan along; after all, there should be a distinction between men and women. Now it was as if he was lying on her back. Li Zhiyan, smelling the fragrance of Han Xueying, felt intoxicated. The scent of Aunt Han was really very pleasant. "Xiao Yan, don''t hold onto Auntie so tightly, hold onto the back of the seat." "It''s too hot." Fortunately, the weather was hot, a perfect excuse for Li Zhiyan to keep his distance from her. Li Zhiyan was obedient. "I understand, Aunt Han." Following that, he held onto the metal backrest behind him. Watching Han Xueying''s graceful silhouette, early in the morning, Li Zhiyan felt his hormones surge at an elerated rate. "Xiao Yan, stop hitting Auntie." Han Xueying was somewhat shocked in her heart. It wasn''t until they arrived at school that Han Xueying finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Yan, hurry up and go to ss." "Thank you, Aunt Han." Li Zhiyan wanted to hug Han Xueying, but he gave up the idea. Before something happened that could deepen his rtionship with Aunt Han, it was better to behave properly. Otherwise, it would only lower his image in Aunt Han''s eyes... After all, Aunt Han wasn''t like Wu Qingxian, who had many years of emotional foundation with him. Even if he kissed her cheek, she found it normal, considering she had watched him grow up since he was in split pants. When it came to deepening rtionships, one couldn''t rush. All the way to the ssroom, with less than a minute to ss, the theory teacher had already started testing the projector with herputer. As soon as Li Zhiyan entered, all eyes in the ss fell on him, or rather on his face, and Su Mengyue lowered her head. Feeling shy and overwhelmed, she thought, "He''s so handsome..." Feeling the stares of the girls in the ss, Li Zhiyan calmly took his seat next to Jiang Zexi and his two friends. Discover more content at m,v l''e-NovelBin "Brother Yan, the effect of that mask is really something else, I used to be the most handsome guy in the advertising design ss!" "Now it''s you!" Zhang Zhiyuan and Su Quanyou felt envious as well. Li Zhiyan was definitely a high-tier heartthrob, and he gained the most from the military training! When ss time arrived, the teacher on stage started lecturing. Some were studying seriously, while others yed with their phones. College was rxed; the choice to study was up to the individual, as the teachers wouldn''t interfere. Li Zhiyan had already lost interest in the course and started chatting on QQ. He was chatting with Su Mengchen. He also inquired about Jiang Xian''s store renovation. Li Zhiyan: "Auntie Jiang, I''ve already started sses." "How''s the renovation of your store going?" Jiang Xian: "It''s almost finished." "We can go pick up the goods this afternoon." "Then, Auntie Jiang, I don''t have sses in the afternoon, let''s go together." Jiang Xian: "OK." The ss was boring, and Li Zhiyan kept chatting. Tomorrow was the day to execute the task... Thankfully, the time was in the afternoon after school. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be so easy to ask for leave from Aunt Han. Han Xueying, the considerate big sister, did care a lot about others, but when she was strict, she was truly strict. ... In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan arrived at Jiang Xian''s clothing store, which was indeed finished with the renovation. The clothes racks and storeyout were allplete. "Auntie Jiang, the renovation went smoothly." "Let''s go to the wholesale market to pick clothes now." "Okay, Xiao Yan,e inside and cool off for a while," "It''s hot outside." Jiang Xian still felt a pang of sympathy for Li Zhiyan; with such scorching hot weather, he must be overheated froming to find her. "Then let''s hang out in the cottage with the fan running, Auntie Jiang." Jiang Xian''s pretty face couldn''t help but flush. Being inside the cottage meant Xiao Yan would definitely kiss her, especially since she had agreed to let him kiss her and touch her legs. Every time he saw her, he would make those demands. But truly, she was yearning for it too... "Okay." As soon as they entered, Li Zhiyan ced his hand on Jiang Xian''s beautiful leg, gently feeling the touch of Auntie Jiang''s leg. Li Zhiyan then pushed Jiang Xian down. Looking at Jiang Xian''s red lips, Li Zhiyan leaned in and kissed her slowly. "Xiao Yan, Auntie missed you..." Jiang Xian murmured, then started to respond, feeling Li Zhiyan''s overwhelming presence as her rationality nearly dissipated. After a while, Li Zhiyan whispered, "Auntie Jiang, let me take another look, please..." Jiang Xian remained silent. "Auntie Jiang, since you''ve shown me before, there''s no difference, right?" "I''ll just take a look..." Only after a long time did Jiang Xian nod slightly. ... That afternoon, the two arrived at the wholesale market. Li Zhiyan assisted Jiang Xian in selecting styles. Jiang Xian''s mind kept reying the earlier events, feeling that things were increasingly getting out of her control. She always felt that Li Zhiyan wanted her to feed him. After transporting all the clothes back, Li Zhiyan helped Jiang Xian hang them up, busying himself here and there. Chapter 212: 106 No need this time either, Fang Zhiya has gone soft again_5 Jiang Xian gazed at the young man before her, her heart brimming with gratitude. "Okay, Auntie Jiang, your clothing store is officially open!" "From now on, you can say goodbye to your old life for good." As soon as these words were uttered, two girls walked in, finding themselves quite fond of the clothing styles in the store. "Miss, can I try on this dress?" "Sure." Initially, Jiang Xian felt a bit constrained and unustomed, but as several girls came in and purchased clothes, she gradually becamefortable with the role of store owner. After the customers left, Li Zhiyan asked, "Auntie Jiang, doesn''t keeping busy feel much more fulfilling than when you were a full-time housewife?" "Hmm... Xiao Yan, I really can''t thank you enough..." "Sit here; I''ll go make you something to eat." The small kitchen behind was modest yet fully equipped to make dining and daily lifepletely manageable. "Okay." Sitting there, Li Zhiyan sent Fang Zhiya a message. "Aunt Fang, are you getting off work soon?" Fang Zhiya: "Still have an hour left. Are youing home today?" Li Zhiyan: "Yes, I miss you." Li Zhiyan: "I ate out today." Fang Zhiya: "Okay, baby, Auntie misses you too." Li Zhiyan was well aware that it wasn''t easy for Aunt Fang to express her feelings in such a manner. Aunt Fang must have genuinely cherished him to speak such words. Thinking of the canteen scene he had seen that day, Li Zhiyan eagerly looked forward to going home to savor the delicious food. In the dorm group chat, Ziang Zexi and others started asking if Li Zhiyan was returning to the dormitory that evening. "Noting back." After Li Zhiyan announced his n not to return, the three rascals wouldn''t stop making raucousments. They spected wildly about where Li Zhiyan might be off to for the evening. Before long, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian shared a very simple dinner. When they parted ways, Jiang Xian gave Li Zhiyan a lingering hug. ... Timing it just right, Li Zhiyan arrived at the small home he shared with Fang Zhiya. The first thing he did upon entering was take a shower. The weather was simply too hot. Without a shower, the atmosphere with Aunt Fang would bepletely ruined. Just out of the shower and covered up securely, Fang Zhiya returned home. "Baby." After changing into her slippers, Fang Zhiya stepped forward and kissed Li Zhiyan''s cheek. "Aunt Fang, you don''t have to dress so conservatively." "You could wear a short-sleeve shirt; it''s too hot for anything else." Fang Zhiya was resolute in her ideas. "Short sleeves expose too much arm; I can''t quite ept it. Baby, I''ll only show myself to you for the rest of my life." Li Zhiyan was deeply moved. A woman like Fang Zhiya, once she gave her heart, genuinely emitted aplete and fiery love. "Aunt Fang, why don''t you take a shower first." ... Soon, Fang Zhiya stepped out of the bathroom wearing a low-cut top, a short skirt, and high heels with whitece over red. Her hair damp, the delicate and fetching sight of her small mouth elerated Li Zhiyan''s hormones. Fang Zhiya headed to the kitchen intending to make a simple dinner. Just as she began to cook, Li Zhiyan embraced her from behind. Aunt Fang wore something quite cool. He once said she could wear fewer clothes at home, and Aunt Fang now listened to him. On such a hot day, indeed, cooler was better. "Aunt Fang..." "Xiao Yan..." Fang Zhiya''s body went ck. "Could we have some dinner first? I just don''t have the strength to deal with you right now." Li Zhiyan felt sorry for Fang Zhiya but held her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder. "Aunt Fang, let''s not bother tonight, okay?" Fang Zhiya was surprised that Li Zhiyan would make such a request. Hadn''t they agreed it was just a one-time thing? "Baby... I''m still a bit afraid." Li Zhiyan kissed Fang Zhiya''s cheek and whispered in her ear. "Aunt Fang, you have that particr constitution. So there really isn''t anything to worry about. I really want to... please." Fang Zhiya was going to refuse but melted at Li Zhiyan''s plea. "Okay..." "Alright... But, baby, let''s call each other less of our yful nicknames. Auntie finds it so embarrassing." Remembering some things made Fang Zhiya feel nearly faint. Li Zhiyan then firmly wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love it that way." "Baby..." Gently leaning in, Li Zhiyan captured Fang Zhiya''s cherry-red lips with a kiss. "Mmm... baby..." Chapter 213: 107 Xiao Yan is so handsome! Showing filial piety for Shen Rongfei Fang Zhiya turned around, and her longing for Li Zhiyan burst forth. While kissing Li Zhiyan, Fang Zhiya mumbled unclearly, "Baby..." "If you don''t like to use it, we don''t have to..." "Auntie loves you..." Wrapping her arms around Li Zhiyan''s waist, Fang Zhiya tiptoed so that she could fit more snugly against Li Zhiyan. Fang Zhiya was utterly in love with Li Zhiyan. Gently feeling Fang Zhiya''s beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan hugged her even tighter. A 42-year-old mature woman and an 18-year-old young man kept causing each other''s hormones to surge. It was only when the sound of boiling water erupted that Li Zhiyan left Fang Zhiya''s lips. "Aunt Fang, I''ll be waiting for you in the bedroom." "Okay..." Fang Zhiya was shy and flustered. ... Li Zhiyany in the bedroom, staring at the specially decorated ceiling, as the memories of earlier lingered in his mind. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin He picked up a piece of chewing gum nearby, then put it back. Aunt Fang''s body was exquisite when used, but without it, it was indeed soul-stirringly delightful. Before long, Fang Zhiya arrived in high heels. "Baby..." Unable to wait, Li Zhiyan hurried to the bedside, then swept Fang Zhiya into his arms. "Aunt Fang, I want to eat snacks." "Okay..." "Xiao Yan, are you wearing high heels again today?" "Yes." "Aunt Fang, from now on, please always wear high heels." He lifted Fang Zhiya up, and everything that followed came naturally. ... At night, Li Zhiyany in Fang Zhiya''s arms, smelling her scent, and munching on little snacks. "Baby..." Stroking Li Zhiyan''s head, Fang Zhiya was like soothing a child. "Aunt Fang, I''m sorry, you''re not really pregnant, are you?" "No, don''t worry, Xiao Yan." "Auntie doesn''t get pregnant that easily." "This month, let''s not be so reckless, okay?" "Hmm..." Li Zhiyan agreed, but whether he could stick to it was another matter. "By the way, Aunt Fang, could you wear something different for me?" "What kind of clothes?" After Li Zhiyan spoke, Fang Zhiya had a feeling that it must be something she would find hard to ept. "Like a maid outfit, have you seen one before?" "Auntie thinks I''ve heard of them..." Fang Zhiya''s face started heating up again. "Then, could you wear that for me?" "Okay, your auntie will wear it for you." Fang Zhiya agreed, now more and more open to doing things for Li Zhiyan. ... The next day, after breakfast, Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya left the residential area together, and he was making the usual jokes. Fang Zhiya felt she had gotten used to a lot. Watching Fang Zhiya''s back, Li Zhiyan felt like he hadpletely stolen Liu Yaolong''s mother away from him. And his enemy, Liu Yaolong, was now on the brink of danger. Thinking back to Liu Yaolong''s previous troubles and attempts to bully him, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of retaliatory pleasure. Having a mother was a fatal weakness for one''s enemy. On the road, Li Zhiyan lost himself in the feeling of being an idol, loving this sensation more and more, unlike his ordinary self before. Like yesterday, Li Zhiyan was chatting during ss, Plotting the next tasks... The task node was after school this afternoon. Should he beat up Auntie Jiang''s son? He''ll decide based on the situation; if he''s too extreme, he probably won''t be able to hold back. As a mama''s boy, Li Zhiyan couldn''t stand those who treated their mothers badly. "Brother Yan, are you going back to the dorm tonight?" "I am." Li Zhiyan knew he couldn''t always avoid staying in the dorm or else Han Xueying would surelye looking for him. He had deep feelings for this counselor. "Brother Yan, you haven''t screwed up, have you?" Hearing Li Zhiyan was returning to the dorm, Zhang Zhiyuan began to fantasize. No woman could resist Brother Yan''s charm. "We''re in ss..." "Don''t be so randy." Su Quanyoumented, "The school''sputers are really high-spec, ying CF and DNF with no issues." "It''s a pity they reboot every time you start them, and the inte speed can''t handle downloads, only enough for 4399." The guys chatted, and time flew by quickly. During the third period, Su Mengchen sent Li Zhiyan a message. Su Mengchen: "Are you still in ss?" Li Zhiyan: "Yes, are you done with sses for the day?" Su Mengchen: "Yes." After half a month of chatting, Su Mengchen had started to have simple online conversations with Li Zhiyan. This excited Li Zhiyan; his Chenchen was finally beginning to open up to him. Li Zhiyan: "Chenchen, how about we have dinner together after school?" Li Zhiyan didn''t have high hopes, but to his surprise, Su Mengchen agreed. Su Mengchen: "Okay." Li Zhiyan was genuinely astonished, and he suddenly remembered Shen Rongfei''s alluring, foxy face. Undoubtedly, Aunt Shen must have made quite an effort. She had always been helping him to break through Su Mengchen''s emotional barriers. Making Su Mengchen happy was Li Zhiyan''s desire, as well as a regret from his past life. Li Zhiyan: "Then I''ll wait for you downstairs in your dorm after school." Su Mengchen: "Okay." Having arranged the date with Li Zhiyan, Su Mengchen blushed profusely. Her roommates encouraged her, "It''s fine, Chenchen, don''t be shy!" Chapter 214: 107 Xiao Yan is so handsome! Showing filial piety for Shen Rongfei_2 "We''ll go with you." Su Mengchen''s university roommates were all quite nice. In her previous life, it was precisely because of the encouragement of her university roommates that her personality had slightly improved. Here, she would not hear others deliberately calling her a "cripple" behind her back in a "whisper." "Okay..." Su Mengchen mustered up her courage and ate lunch with Li Zhiyan. Even though it was a very shy and hard-to-ept matter, her mom had been calling her every night. Saying that Li Zhiyan really liked her and didn''t care at all about hermeness. This gave Su Mengchen some hope, and for some reason, ever since the moment Li Zhiyan stopped her and drove away Yin Qiang, she had felt an uncontroble sense of closeness to him. "Chenchen,e on!" ... After school, Ziang Zexi called out, "Brother Yan, let''s go eat together; I''m treating." The current Ziang Zexi was very carefree. Li Zhiyan estimated that in about three months, he would bepletely out of money, mooching meals in the dorms. "Forget it, I''m going to have dinner with a friend of mine." "Male or female! It isn''t Su Mengyue, right?" "Female." Li Zhiyan knew the three of them would jabber incessantly next, so he strode ahead, going directly to the girls'' dormitory. The September sunlight was scorching hot, and at noon, it made people feel drowsy, just wanting to return to the dormitory to enjoy the air conditioning. But Li Zhiyan was somewhat excited in his heart. After arriving at the girls'' dormitory, Li Zhiyan sent Su Mengchen a QQ message. Soon, four girls came out from the first floor. Su Mengchen couldn''t believe what she was seeing. Thest time she saw Li Zhiyan, he was a very ordinary boy. How had he be so tall and handsome after military training? He looked just like a celebrity... If it wasn''t for that very clear and recognizable face of Li Zhiyan, she wouldn''t dare to recognize him. Blushing, Su Mengchen lowered her head. It was the first time she was eating with a boy, and with Li Zhiyan''s good looks, her shyness became uncontroble. The other three girls were also stunned. Although Su Mengchen was very pretty, with white and long legs and a generous bosom, She was a girl with a limp, and it really looked a bit ugly when she walked. Any boy who would take a liking to her, in their opinion, must be average-looking or even slightly ugly. But who would have thought! The Li Zhiyan who liked Su Mengchen turned out to be an outright hunk. There probably wasn''t a more handsome guy in the school than Li Zhiyan. For a while, all three girls felt somewhat jealous. "Chenchen, don''t be shy, let''s go eat." After pulling Su Mengchen to walk with Li Zhiyan, from time to time, Su Mengchen snuck peeks at him, yet she didn''t dare to speak to him. After all, Su Mengchen tended to be introverted; opening her heart wasn''t so simple. Su Mengchen walked very slowly; she wanted to walk more gracefully in front of Li Zhiyan, so he wouldn''t look down on her limp. After all, being disabled, she was generally despised by the public. When the five arrived at the cafeteria, there were not many people in line anymore. Soon, Li Zhiyan, Su Mengchen, and her three roommates found a corner spot. Su Mengchen liked eating in such ces, something they all knew. "We three will eat over there. It''s more spacious!" The three of them were very conscious not to be third wheels and wanted to give Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen some alone time. If the two of them got together, Then Su Mengchen''s mental state would surely improve a lot. After all, love can really heal a person''s heart. "Chenchen." "Hmm..." Read new chapters at m_v-l''e|-NovelBin Su Mengchen, her head lowered, didn''t dare to look at Li Zhiyan, the girlish shyness most distinctively embodied in her behavior. Although in this life Li Zhiyan had a preference for mature women, yet seeing Su Mengchen''s girlish shyness, He couldn''t help but feel his heart stir. Su Mengchen meant something to him... That no one else could rece. "Chenchen, I''ll start pursuing you from today. "I hope one day I can be your boyfriend. "Let''s have a good rtionship in university." Li Zhiyan decided to give Su Mengchen a strong push, so he could pull her out of her introversion more quickly. The three roommates listening were totally bbergasted. This Li Zhiyan was so bold and straightforward, suggesting to chase after a girl on their first meal out together. But with his charisma and good looks, there probably wasn''t a girl in the school he couldn''t win over. Su Mengchen''s mind buzzed and nked out, and afterward, she found herselfpletely unable to speak, just mechanically sipping c from the ss bottle. It took a long while for her toe back to her senses, and she was unable to say a word. Li Zhiyan was familiar with this kind of reaction from Su Mengchen. When he confessed to her in his previous life, she also wasn''t able to utter a single word for several hours; she was, after all, not a typical girl. Looking at Su Mengchen''s fair face, Li Zhiyan was very certain that her bust size was a D cup. As time passed, she could potentially rival Auntie Rao. But that still required his efforts. "Chenchen, let''s eat first." "We can talk on QQter." Su Mengchen nodded her head... Unable to utter a word. After finishing the meal and escorting Su Mengchen back to her dorm, Chapter 215: 107 Xiao Yan is so handsome! Showing filial piety for Shen Rongfei_3 A few girls ran out of the dormitory. "Li Zhiyan, you scared Chenchen. Her face is so hot and red." "Yeah, you were too sudden." Li Zhiyan smiled. His godlike charm and looks made the girls'' hearts beat a bit faster. "Ladies, I''ll have to rely on you to speak well of me in front of Chenchen from now on." "Definitely." They too hoped that Su Mengchen could quickly move on from her current state. ... After returning to the dormitory and climbing onto the upper bunk, Li Zhiyany down, enjoying the cool feeling of the mat beneath him, finding it extremelyfortable. He kept sending messages to Su Mengchen without getting any replies. Li Zhiyan knew she was reading them, just that she was somewhat stressed and therefore couldn''t respond to him. And for some time toe, she probably wouldn''t reply to his QQ messages. During this period, he should encourage andfort her by sending more messages. The progress would then increase much faster. As he typed, Li Zhiyan couldn''t stop picturing the shy Su Mengchen in his mind. The sight of a young girl in the throes of spring truly made one''s heart flutter. After a while, Li Zhiyan sent a message to Shen Rongfei. "Mom, I asked Chenchen out for a meal today." Back in her bedroom at home, Shen Rongfei, who had just decided to sleep, perked up after receiving Li Zhiyan''s message. She threw off her thin nket, and her beautiful ck-stockinged legs were exposed to the air. "Xiao Yan." "How did Chenchen react?" Li Zhiyan: "Mom, I confessed to Chenchen, but it seems like she got a bit stressed out." "She probably won''t talk to me for a while." "So I need you tomunicate with her more." Shen Rongfei: "Okay, Xiao Yan, Auntie wille over in the afternoon." "It''s a good opportunity to check out your milk tea shop." Shen Rongfei was indeed very busy with business, but nothing was more important than her daughter. After hearing about Li Zhiyan''s progress with her daughter, she wanted to talk with Li Zhiyan. "We''ll meet this afternoon, but Aunt Shen, I have ssester," "If youe over, you''ll have toe a bit earlier." Shen Rongfei: "Auntie will set off right now." With the thought of her daughter''s issues potentially being resolved, Shen Rongfei lost all will to sleep; she just wanted to have a good talk with Li Zhiyan. Getting up, she walked to the door in her slippers and switched to her favorite pair of ck high heels with red soles, and left the house. Though she identally twisted her left foot, she felt that wearing ck stockings required high heels. ... Seeing Shen Rongfei again, Li Zhiyan felt an immense warmth in his heart. As he watched her step out of her Mercedes S-ss, Li Zhiyan went up to greet her with a heartfelt "Mom." "Mom." Shen Rongfei had strangely gotten used to such address. This kid was really determined to be her son-inw, to really take her as his mother... Upon getting a clear view of Li Zhiyan, Shen Rongfei felt her heart beat faster inexplicably. This kid, why did he have to be so handsome? She used to be dissatisfied with his delicate features. But now, he had improved in every aspect! With Li Zhiyan now standing tall at 180 cm and blessed with godlike looks, she couldn''t find anything displeasing about him. Thinking this made Shen Rongfei''s heart happy. "Let''s talk at your milk tea shop." "Get in the car and show me the way." "Okay." After arriving at the milk tea shop in Shen Rongfei''s car, Li Zhiyan handed her the high heels from the passenger seat. His mother-inw really loved high heels, and there was a faint scent of perfume on them. Upon getting out of the car, Shen Rongfei was astonished by the business at the milk tea shop. Among the many tea shops here... Li Zhiyan''s business was exceptionally good, which was truly skillful. "Xiao Yan, you are really talented." Shen Rongfei was really satisfied with the abilities of her prospective son-inw. "Xiao Yan, when you are free, Auntie will take you to mypany to have a look, okay?" "You can pick any position you like." "Go when you want, and it''s okay not to when you don''t." Li Zhiyan thought for a moment, then agreed. With his mother-inw offering such a choice, what reason did he have to refuse? However, he really didn''t expect to go to thepany much... Unless the system assigned him a task; that would be another matter. "Okay, Mom, I''ll go when I have time." "Is Chenchen talking to you now?" Li Zhiyan shook his head. As he made handmade yogurt for Shen Rongfei, he said, "Like I told you, Chenchen is probably stressed." "So she''s ignoring me." "That''s why I said you should talk more with her. It might take some time before she talks to me again." He ced the yogurt in front of Shen Rongfei, and the two sat facing each other. Shen Rongfei thought Li Zhiyan was the ideal son-inw she had in her heart, matching her idea of the perfect man, and he was so capable. She was determined to get her daughter to be with him, to make Li Zhiyan her son. "You''ve worked hard, Xiao Yan." Shen Rongfei patted Li Zhiyan on the head. "Mom, did you identally twist your left foot?" Looking at Shen Rongfei''s perfect ck-stockinged legs under the table, Li Zhiyan noticed something off about Shen Rongfei''s left foot; she seemed to have been walking a bit unnaturally earlier. "Hmm..." "It was an ident." "But it''s okay, it will heal quickly." Wanting to close the distance with his mother-inw and not wanting to miss a chance to show filial piety, he earnestly said, "Mom, let me massage your ankle for you, that should provide quick relief." Chapter 216: 107 Xiao Yan is so handsome! Showing filial piety for Shen Rongfei_4 "I know you like wearing high heels, but wearing them like this is only going to make things worse." Shen Rongfei knew she had nned to rest that afternoon, but for the sake of her daughter, she had ended up walking quite a distance. This health issue still needed attention. At that moment, the sky suddenly turned overcast outside, looking like it might rain. "Okay, help Auntie with a massage." "Please follow me." Experience more content on m v|l e''-NovelBin After bringing Shen Rongfei to the staff changing room, Li Zhiyan sat opposite her. "Mom, please take off your high heels." After she removed her high heels, Li Zhiyan gently grasped Shen Rongfei''s nylon-d calf. Then, he began to knead her ankle, and Shen Rongfei closed her eyes. Traditional Chinese medicine really is profound. Using traditional Chinese medicine skills back and forth, the filial Li Zhiyan treated the injury with utmost respect. It was a long while before he finally put down his mother-inw''s leg. "Mom, does it still hurt?" "It doesn''t hurt anymore..." Li Zhiyan''s massage skills were truly impressive. Every time she thought about it, Shen Rongfei found it miraculous. For so many years, she had never heard of a traditional Chinese doctor capable of such wonders. Perhaps it was his unique gift. After they left the changing room, Shen Rongfei, wearing her nylon high heels, walked much more naturally, her elegance restored. A hint of blush on her pretty face made her fox-like beauty even more alluring. By now, it had started to rain outside, and it was about time. Shen Rongfei also said goodbye to Li Zhiyan. "Auntie needs to get home, there are things to deal with at thepany in the evening." Li Zhiyan took an umbre, opened it, and said, "Mom, let me walk you to your car." "Okay..." A profound sense of happiness filled Shen Rongfei''s heart; the feeling was truly wonderful. Because of the rain, the road home became slippery. Only after escorting Shen Rongfei to her car under the umbre did Li Zhiyan ease his mind. Afterward, he went to his sses at school. Close to the end of ss, while the rain hadn''t stopped and he listened to the idle chatter of three vulgar ssmates, Li Zhiyan''s thoughts were far away. It would soon be time to carry out the system task. Auntie Jiang really was a woman with a hard fate. To have met Yen Zhengjin as her former husband was truly a misfortune in life. If it weren''t for her encounter with him, Auntie Jiang might have been kept in the dark forever, and when the truth surfaced atst, she would have been deeply hurt. ... At this moment, Yen Lei, who had skipped ss, had already arrived at the shopping district near the university town. His school was in Chaohu, a short drive from Wancheng. After looking for the address his mother gave, it took him a while, but he eventually found the modest clothing store. "Mom." Seeing Jiang Xian at the entrance, pitching clothes to a young girl, Yen Lei approached eagerly, not for any other reason but because Yen Zhengjin had promised him thirty thousand yuan. That much money was enough to let him dominate and enjoy the gaming world for some time. "Son, you''vee." "Don''t you have ss today?" Jiang Xian was surprised. After divorcing Yen Zhengjin, her whole heart was concerned about her son. "No." "Mom, your clothing store is really doing well." "Just wait a moment." After asking Yen Lei to wait, Jiang Xian continued to introduce clothes to the girl, helping her choose a style. Yen Lei simply stood quietly and waited. Before long, Li Zhiyan also arrived, but he didn''te in directly; instead, he stood next door, quietly watching the situation unfold. He hoped Auntie Jiang could see the true nature of her son. When she waspletely disappointed, all of Auntie Jiang''s love would belong to him alone. Li Zhiyan was someone with a strong possessive desire, and this would never change. He didn''t want anyone to share his love, nor would he allow it... The young girl looked for a long time but ultimately couldn''t bring herself to buy anything. After the customer left, Jiang Xian returned to the small cabin, took a cup of plum juice she hadn''t had the chance to drink from Li Zhiyan''s store, and handed it to Yen Lei. "Son, have a drink, it''s hot out." Yen Lei took the plum juice and began to gulp it down greedily... But his mind was entirely focused on the prospect of his parents remarrying. "Mom, I''ve missed you so much." Li Zhiyan discerned the insincerity in that statement of missing her. Jiang Xian was also moved in her heart. However, what Yen Lei said next saddened her. "Please, Mom, remarry Dad. Otherwise, you won''t have good days ahead." At that moment, Jiang Xian realized why her son, who usually didn''t talk much to her, hade to see her. Obviously... He was sent by Yen Zhengjin, trying to persuade her to remarry him. The content in the recording pen still shed before her eyes. For Jiang Xian, remarrying Yen Zhengjin was the most impossible thing. No matter what, she would never remarry Yen Zhengjin. "What are you talking about? Your father and I are finished." "He''s not a good man." "So it''s impossible for us to remarry, just forget about it." Fearing his thirty thousand yuan was slipping away... Yen Lei''s temper red up; he was essentially a overgrown child. To him, his parents were merely ATMs, and he had no respect for his unemployed mother. His face began to darken. "Please, Mom, remarry Dad." "Impossible!" With each rejection, Yen Lei stopped pretending. "If you don''t remarry my dad, then you might as well close down this shop!" Chapter 217: 107 Xiao Yan is so handsome! Showing filial piety for Shen Rongfei_5 As he spoke, he knocked over a row of clothes racks, startling a girl who had juste in to buy clothes into running away. What on earth happened here, why is there such a person in the store. At this moment, Yen Lei''s expression was somewhat ferocious. He just wanted to force his mother and father to remarry so he could get the reward of thirty thousand yuan. Li Zhiyan watched from the side, amused by the spectacle. Yen Lei was just like him, on a mission. However, while his own missions were assigned by the system, Yen Lei''s mission was given by Yen Zhengjin. Jiang Xian''s mind went nk. She never imagined she would see her son behave this way. He was wrecking her shop right in front of her. Was this really the son she had raised from a young age? In his heart, there was only his father; as for her, she had no standing at all. "Are you going to remarry or not." Yen Lei fiercely smashed the half cup of sour plum drink he held onto the floor. And then he tore down a skirt that was hanging on the wall. The violence of his actions scared Jiang Xian into retreating again and again. "Enough!" Jiang Xian screamed, breaking down. But Yen Lei showed no signs of stopping at all. He had to force his mom and dad to remarry today. If she wouldn''t remarry, he would wreck the shop. He wanted to make it clear to her that without his father, she was nothing but a useless waste. Thinking about the thirty thousand yuan reward, greed swelled in Yen Lei''s heart! That thirty thousand yuan had to be his. Li Zhiyan could not stand watching anymore; whenever he encountered such incidents, he felt a rush of blood to his head. That was the mother who had given birth to you and raised you. And yet, you treated her like this! Filled with anger, Li Zhiyan ran into the shop. Heading straight for Yen Lei. Just as Yen Lei was about to continue wrecking the shop, all of a sudden, he felt an intense pain. Li Zhiyan had kicked him flying. He mmed right into the wall. It felt as though he had been hit by a car! "Bang." His head smashed solidly against the wall, and a sharp pain flooded through him, filling his heart with fear. Being a shut-in addicted to games, he was inherently weak. He had never been in a fight. He only dared to act out in front of his mother. In front of others, he was aplete coward, never daring to stand up to them. "Get lost!" Li Zhiyan, at one meter eighty tall, also possessed terrifying strength. This was very intimidating for Yen Lei. The gaming addict, who was only good at ying video games, didn''t say a word. He got up, enduring the pain in his body, and ran off without looking back. Meanwhile, Jiang Xian had already started to cry. Recently, because of family matters, she had cried far too many times. Li Zhiyan pulled down the shutter, as it really wasn''t the day for business under these circumstances. Turning on the lights, he looked at the crying Jiang Xian, and his heart ached for her. In this world, mothers always love their children selflessly. But for any mother, having her shop wrecked by the child she doted on was uneptable. When Li Zhiyan kicked Yen Lei earlier on, he did it with considerable force, partly influenced by personal emotions. "Auntie Jiang, don''t be sad..." "After all, he is Yen Zhengjin''s son, so this kind of behavior is quite normal." Jiang Xian threw herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms and cried her heart out. The scene she had just witnessed, with her son in a state of hysteria, kept echoing in her mind. She really couldn''t understand why her own son would treat her like this. Gently stroking Jiang Xian''s back, Li Zhiyan ced his other hand on Auntie Jiang''s beautiful leg. After a long time, she slowly calmed down. Exhausted from crying, she took Li Zhiyan''s hand and they both went to the small room. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie wants a kiss..." Jiang Xian said softly, feeling too repressed inside. She needed to kiss Li Zhiyan to soothe the emotions in her heart. Having already proved the immediate effect of a long kiss with Li Zhiyan before. Looking at Jiang Xian''s red lips, Li Zhiyan gently wrapped his arm around Jiang Xian''s waist. "Auntie Jiang, lie down here." "I want to kiss you like this..." Saying this, Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian''s red lips. Then, supporting Jiang Xian''s waist, he slowlyid her down. "Mmm...so strange..." ... After a long while, Li Zhiyan spoke softly, "Auntie Jiang." "I want to have a good look, like before, if that''s okay." "Okay..." Jiang Xian''s voice trembled. "Auntie Jiang, this time I want to do more than just look." "What... what do you want to do." Jiang Xian''s face began to heat up. Chapter 218: In the cabin of the clothing store 108, Jiang Xian feeds Li Zhiyan ``` "Auntie Jiang..." "I want to seriously feel it, is that okay?" Li Zhiyan''s eyes were burning as he looked at the woman before him, Jiang Xian. That kind of gazepletely saw her as a woman. It threw Jiang Xian''s heart into utter chaos. "Xiao Yan, can your aunt kiss you a bit longer, is that okay?" Jiang Xian still found such a request somewhat hard to ept, after all, there was a 23-year age gap between herself and Li Zhiyan. But she also felt an inability to refuse Li Zhiyan, so she could only negotiate with him properly. Afterward, Jiang Xian took the initiative to wrap her arms around Li Zhiyan''s neck and kissed him. Then she and Li Zhiyan kissed each other. After Auntie Jiang took the initiative, Li Zhiyan felt much better. After a while, Jiang Xian released Li Zhiyan, feeling the warmth from his body. She asked softly, "Is that enough, Xiao Yan...?" "No..." Li Zhiyan was very determined; Yen Lei''s appearance was an exceptionally good opportunity for him. After all, chances to get closer to Auntie Jiang were rare. "Xiao Yan..." "Auntie is begging you..." Imploring Li Zhiyan, then Jiang Xian kissed him again. Li Zhiyan also epted Jiang Xian''s advances. Feeling the touch of her beautiful legs, it was a long time before they separated. "Auntie Jiang, please," "I''m really curious..." Li Zhiyan, pinning Jiang Xian down, began to plead. "Alright... alright then, let your aunt get up first." Li Zhiyan obediently stood up, and Jiang Xian also agreed to his request. ... After the two left the room, Li Zhiyan tidied up the clothes that Yen Lei had messed upon the floor, before he pulled up the roller shutter door. Just as the shop opened, a girl walked in. Jiang Xian''s clothing store did well mainly because she understood fashion well. The clothing she stocked was all quite stylish. After she introduced the clothes to the girl, Li Zhiyan said goodbye to her: "Auntie Jiang, I''m heading back to the dorm." "We''ll chat on QQter." Li Zhiyan had no ns to return to Fang Zhiya''s home. Explore more stories with m,v l''e-NovelBin Auntie Jiang''s small and exquisite home could be crazy asionally, but if he tormented her every day, she wouldn''t be able to handle it. Li Zhiyan thought of Aunt Fang calling him "darling," and felt in his heart, "Hmm..." Jiang Xian nodded. After Li Zhiyan left, she continued to introduce clothes to the girl. Meanwhile, in her heart, the memory of what just happened lingered; Li Zhiyan''s hands were so hot, so strong. ... Walking on the street, Li Zhiyan opened the system. The system showed that the task reward had been given. The amount in Li Zhiyan''s bank ount had returned to 160,000. Having money in hand, Li Zhiyan''s heart wasn''t so anxious anymore. "New task released." A new task followed right after. "Because Yen Lei wasn''t able to convince Jiang Xian to remarry Yen Zhengjin," "he will call in the evening to continue persuading Jiang Xian." "If the persuasion fails, he will be angry out of embarrassment and insult Jiang Xian." "Please go andfort Jiang Xian." "Task reward: 100,000 in cash." This time, the task was really too easy! Li Zhiyan was extremely excited; his life goal was to earn more money. For the sake of money, he mustfort Auntie Jiang. And Auntie Jiang was also a very important person to him. Even without the reward, he would go tofort her. No sooner had he returned to the dormitory than a heavy rain began to fall... In such sultry weather, the continuous rain also felt somewhat bleak. Just as he entered, all of his roommates looked at him with a somewhat strange gaze. "Brother Yan, you actually came back tonight. Aren''t you going out to have fun?" Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless; it seemed his nightly outings had be deeply ingrained in their minds. "Have fun what." "Brother Yan,e and spar in King of Fighters. I''ve even learned Orochi''s infinitebo, let''s have a couple of rounds!" For such a request for a beat-down, Li Zhiyan naturally would not miss out. After trouncing the three dormitory ckers, he returned to his seat and chatted with Su Mengchen. Regarding Su Mengchen''sck of response, Li Zhiyan was very patient, continuously sending her messages. What he didn''t expect was that Su Mengchen actually began to reply to him. While chatting with Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan also started tomunicate with his mother-inw. Li Zhiyan: "Mom, Chenchen is replying to me now." Shen Rongfei: "Hmm... Auntie talked to her for a quite a while today." At home, curled up, Shen Rongfei''s long, stockings-d beautiful legs in the mirror looked like a work of art. Listening to the rain outside, she also felt a very cozy warmth in her heart. Shen Rongfei: "You talk to Chenchen about her childhood." "Encourage her more, she''s really beautiful and also inherited my figure." "It''s just the congenital limp." As she chatted with Li Zhiyan, Shen Rongfei also felt sad. She had two regrets in life; one was her deeply loved husband who hadn''t touched her since the day she entered the delivery room. The other was her daughter''s congenital limp. Being so beautiful, if not for the limp, how could she feel so insecure to this extent? Li Zhiyan: "Mom, don''t worry, I will definitely bring Chenchen out of the shadows." "And I will take good care of you in the future." In his previous life, even after Shen Rongfei''s family had declined, she had always been very good to him. ``` Chapter 219: In the cabin of the clothing store 108, Jiang Xian feeds Li Zhiyan_2 It wasn''t until the moment she took her own life that Li Zhiyan finally understood how painful it was to lose the second maternal figure in his life. So, in this life, he was determined to take good care of Shen Rongfei no matter what. Shen Rongfei: "Ok." After putting down her phone, Shen Rongfei''s stockings met seamlessly in a perfect ck line. Her seductive, beautiful face carried a trace of happiness. Li Zhiyan, this child, had appeared for a very short time. But he took great care of her, and even of Chenchen. With a son-inw like him in the future, her life might be a little happier, she figured. For so many years, she had only felt repression in her life. Each time she thought about it, Shen Rongfei''s heart couldn''t help but be gripped by a sense of despair... But fortunately, Li Zhiyan''s arrival brought some hope into her life. ... Lying in his dormitory bed, he chatted with Su Mengchen. His mind was on the task of making money. His life goal was to be super-rich. The ceaseless chatter of the three show-offs in the dorm never stopped. "Li Zhiyan, now the whole ss knows Su Mengyue likes you. Have you considered being her boyfriend? If it were me, I would have gone for it already." Zhang Zhiyuan''s voice was full of envy; he wished Su Mengyue had a crush on him... "Better not, I''m already interested in someone else." For now, Li Zhiyan had no interest in Su Mengyue, probably because she was only a B cup and he had a lifelong preference for mature women. So, he wasn''t in the right mindset at the moment; it was best to let things happen naturally. "Ah, I''m so envious of Brother Yan, the mighty dragon among men. Even when the ss beauty throws herself at him, he doesn''t want it, doesn''t take it even if it''s free. That''s so cool." "If only I could be like Brother Yan, a mighty dragon among men." The guys kept chatting away, and Li Zhiyan carried on his conversation with Su Mengchen while talking to them as well. At that moment, he received a QQ message from Wang Shangyan. "Xiao Yan, are you at school?" Li Zhiyan: "Yes, Auntie Wang, I''m here. Are you at the supermarket?" "Yes, I was about to leave, but the rain is quite heavy." "Driving isn''t very safe either." Li Zhiyan: "Right, the weather forecast said there will be a few days of heavy rain." "Safety is important, so you could wait until the rain stops before leaving." "Let mee over and keep youpany." There were still several hours left before he had to carry out his task, so he could take this opportunity to keep Auntie Wangpany. "Ok." Wang Shangyan felt pleasantly surprised; she knew this child was fond of her. She genuinely liked Li Zhiyan from the bottom of her heart, this kid who had made both the inte cafe and the milk tea shop so sessful. ... Just as Li Zhiyan was about to leave, he heard themotion from next door. "The student council is doing room inspections again." Only then did Li Zhiyan remember such an organization as the student council in the school. Somehow, he thought of Mei Yu, the senior from the student council. The student council had some intimidating effect on the kids who hadn''t seen much of the world. But in his eyes, they were nothing but little bureaucrats putting on an act of authority. Soon, Yin Qiang arrived with some people from the student council. "Hello, Chairman." "Hello, Chairman." Everyone greeted Yin Qiang; as the chairman of the student council, he enjoyed being addressed as such. All the new freshmen who just enrolled were buttering him up. Thus, Yin Qiang grew ustomed to throwing his weight around at school. Following Yin Qiang, Li Zhiyan spotted a gaunt young man. Read new chapters at mvl He recognized him at once; it was the son of his mother''s close friend, Wu Qingxian. Although he had not met him before, he had seen Wu Auntie''s ex-husband as a child. Her ex-husband looked just like him, and the resemnce between the two was clear. Seeing Li Zhiyan, Yin Qiang''s heart swelled with silent glee. Ever since Li Zhiyan had thwarted his attempt to chase Su Mengchen, Yin Qiang had been holding a grudge. He had wanted to fight him, but after hearing that not even the drill instructor was a match for him, Yin Qiangpletely chickened out. Since then, he decided to take revenge on Li Zhiyan in other ways... That was by taking advantage of his authority in the student council and his mother''s status. Likest time, he used his mother''s official power to block the green-lighting process of his business license. He imagined Li Zhiyan must still be troubled by the license issue. "Li Zhiyan, say hello to the Chairman. Don''t you have any manners?" Zhang Honglei, Wu Qingxian''s son, barked, putting on airs. He was decked out in branded clothing; Li Zhiyan took one nce and knew they were genuine, obviously costing a pretty penny. He knew about Wu Auntie''s financial struggles. She had been frugal all her life, never indulging in expensive things, even her cosmetics were the cheapest avable. After all the hard work to raise Zhang Honglei, who would have thought he''d turn out to be so vain. Giving him a cold nce, Li Zhiyan lost all traces of good feeling towards Wu Auntie''s son. After merely ncing at the few people from the student council, Li Zhiyan continued chatting. He couldn''t be bothered with them at all. The others in the dorm were even more impressed with Li Zhiyan; Brother Yan was Brother Yan, not even caring about the student council chairman. But that made sense; at such a young age, Brother Yan had his own booming milk tea store. He didn''t need to care about some student council. Even if he were expelled, it couldn''t affect him at all. Chapter 220: In the cabin of the clothing store 108, Jiang Xian feeds Li Zhiyan_3 ``` "Li Zhiyan, do you have any manners, not knowing how to respect your seniors? And to think my mom often praises you." "Really, what a disgraceful sight." Li Zhiyan was used to these young people who liked to act tough; after all, being mindless was the norm in this society. He simply couldn''t be bothered with Zhang Honglei. "Li Zhiyan, why is there trash in your garbage bin? Your dorm is deducted 2 points." "Your desktop is untidy, deduct 2 points." "The bedding on your bed is untidy, deduct 2 points, write that down." "If you can''t even handle such small things, your life is in danger. With this attitude, don''t even think about graduating." Each deducted point made Yin Qiang feel very smug. At the same time, he also saw that Li Zhiyan had now be a god-like handsome man. For a moment, an uncontroble feeling of jealousy rose in his heart. The first time they met, Li Zhiyan was nothing special. But now, Li Zhiyan''s lookspletely crushed his own. How could someone change so much in just half a month? Li Zhiyan finally spoke up. "Are you done? If you''re done, get out of here." What''s a student council president to him? And he genuinely disliked Yin Qiang, especially since the guy once tried to trick his Chenchen. Discover exclusive content at mvl To scum like him, if it weren''t for aw-abiding society, he would definitely beat him up mercilessly. "Li Zhiyan, who gave you the guts!" Zhang Honglei also shouted. "You, get out too." Li Zhiyan coolly watched several members of the student council, and Zhang Honglei immediately lost his temper. Young people are always so hot-headed, and he always wanted to follow Yin Qiang into high society. Maybe he could even get to drive his BMW 3 Series someday. So at this moment, he thought it was a great opportunity to show off. Seeing the chance, Yin Qiang intended to exchange nces with a few members of the student council and move in together. Then they would say that Li Zhiyan was the one who got physical first. Seeing Zhang Honglei make a move, Li Zhiyan got excited. With the ability to fight five at once, he always felt like he had endless energy. Having someone to fight with came as an opportunity to vent. Then, Li Zhiyan''s foot collided with Zhang Honglei''s. Feeling the pain of their soles hitting each other, Zhang Honglei felt a surge of pain. He lost control and fell backwards. He fell heavily on the ground, not expecting Li Zhiyan to be such a good fighter. His strength was like that of a wild bull! In an instant, hepletely lost his fire... Yin Qiang, seeing Li Zhiyan''s fierceness, also subconsciously gave up on the idea of going up himself. Thest time Li Zhiyan grabbed his wrist, it almost felt like he was going to crush it. A few people going up against him might not truly stand a chance. "If there''s nothing else, then get lost." Li Zhiyan stared at Yin Qiang and flexed his wrists. He saw that this scoundrel Yin Qiang wanted to take the opportunity to get back at him; he was merely scared off. If Yin Qiang took the initiative to fight with him, then he really could have a field day. "Li Zhiyan, don''t think you''ll be able to graduate." After leaving these harsh words behind, Yin Qiang took the student council members to the next dormitory. Zhang Honglei got up and followed, his face extremely ugly. He''d really lost face this time. But he was hit because he stood up for Yin Qiang. Yin Qiang would surely take care of him in the future, right? If he could secure a position in the student council, then hitting on girls in school would be much easier. ... "Brother Yan, you''re so tough, daring to fight with someone from the student council." The three rascals in the dorm admired Li Zhiyan a lot. Although the student council wasn''t very important, they still had some leverage over the younger students in school. "Brother Yan, you''ve got to be careful from now on. Chief Yin that woman, she''s extremely doting on her son. She might really block your credits and stop you from graduating." Images of Yin Qiang''s mother came to Li Zhiyan''s mind. The only word to describe her was "flirtatious"; that woman simply doted on her son. But Li Zhiyan didn''t care much about all this fuss, and it didn''t bother him if they liked to bully him. "I''ve got something else to do, I''m leaving now." ... After checking the nearby dorms, Yin Qiang no longer felt like continuing. He left the dorm inspection to the others and went downstairs with Zhang Honglei. Once downstairs, he took the initiative to help Zhang Honglei open an umbre. Watching Li Zhiyan''s receding figure, Zhang Honglei was full of resentment. "President, you must take good care of that kidter on." "Don''t worry!" Yin Qiang was very confident in dealing with Li Zhiyan. His mother was the department head; disciplining him would be a breeze. "I''ll make sure he won''t graduate." Thinking of his beautiful mother, Yin Qiang felt very reassured. No matter what, if he couldn''t vent this anger, these years wouldn''t befortable for him. ... Arriving at the school supermarket with an umbre, Wang Shangyan was already there to greet them. "Xiao Yan." After Li Zhiyan entered the supermarket, she tenderly patted the water droplets off his shoulder. This tender act made it hard for Li Zhiyan to connect the remarkably gentle Wang Shangyan in front of him with the one who brutally sent Lew Huan to the hospital. "Auntie Wang, such heavy rain." Li Zhiyan inexplicably thought of aic panel. ``` Chapter 221: In the cabin of the clothing store 108, Jiang Xian feeds Li Zhiyan_4 A warm little story took ce between a brother and sister after the rain. "Let''s go inside and sit for a while," "The weather outside is a bit cold." Even though it was summer, in such a storm with raging winds, Wang Shangyan, d in a short skirt and short sleeves, indeed felt a bit cold. Li Zhiyan didn''t feel cold, but he liked such little houses. "Okay." "Auntie Wang." After leading Wang Shangyan by the hand into the room, Li Zhiyan gently sat next to Wang Shangyan and leaned on her shoulder. "You, you''re really just a child." Feeling Li Zhiyan''s child-like behavior, Wang Shangyan gently caressed his face. Li Zhiyan also took the opportunity to nt a kiss on Wang Shangyan''s face, near the lips. At this moment, Wang Shangyan''s heart inexplicably became somewhat heated, with this rainy weather and the sound of the rain outside. It seemed indeed easy to stimte the secretion of hormones. "Auntie Wang, will you and Uncle Lew get back together?" Li Zhiyan inquired about Lew Huan''s affairs, which he knew about. Since that time Lew Huan was admitted to the hospital, the two had divorced. "Probably, but definitely not in the short term." "The things he did were just too disgusting." "Why, Xiao Yan, do you want your aunt and uncle to get back together?" Li Zhiyan shook his head. "Auntie Wang, of course, I don''t want you to get back together. If you remarried Uncle Lew," "He definitely won''t let me hold you or kiss you anymore." Embracing Wang Shangyan''s waist, Li Zhiyan inhaled her scent and found it very pleasing. "That man is just too petty. Initially, I wanted to remarry him soon, but after that argument, let him wait properly." "Don''t worry, Xiao Yan, you are Auntie''s favorite child." "Even if I remarry, you can still hold and kiss your auntie." "It''s just that Lew Huan''s mind is too filthy." "So he would have such messy thoughts, after all, you are just a child." As she spoke, Wang Shangyan also reached out to embrace Li Zhiyan. "That''s good then, because I don''t want you two to remarry anyway." Wang Shangyan, curious, asked, "Why?" "Because I think he''s not a good person. If you remarry him, sooner orter he will cheat again, and it will be a vicious cycle. You will still be unhappy." Wang Shangyan fell into thought; the child seemed to make sense. "Auntie will carefully consider your words." The two held each other like this, with Li Zhiyan enjoying the close-up view of the snowy ravines in Wang Shangyan''s embrace. Only when the rain stopped did Wang Shangyan reluctantly say, "Xiao Yan, Auntie has to hurry back now." "Otherwise, I''ll have to sleep here tonight." After standing up, Li Zhiyan gave Wang Shangyan a snug hug. Then he saw her out. After watching Auntie Wang leave, Li Zhiyan took an umbre and walked toward themercial street. The execution time for the mission hade, and he could prepare himself. When Li Zhiyan arrived at Jiang Xian''s shop, the door was already closed. But a bit of light could still be seen from under the shutter. Jiang Xian was probably tidying up the clothes. Then, Li Zhiyan gently knocked on the door. "Is Auntie Jiang there?" "Xiao Yan." Jiang Xian, who had just finished arranging the clothes, was about to go to the small bedroom to read the storybook. Unexpectedly, she heard Li Zhiyan''s voice. Her heart filled with surprise. She had just been saddened by her son''s behavior toward her. But with Li Zhiyan''s arrival, that oppressive feeling began to dissipate. Jiang Xian was very fond of Li Zhiyan. After opening the shutter, it started to rain again outside. "Xiao Yan, why did youe over in such stormy weather? Why not sleep soundly in the dormitory?" Seeing Li Zhiyan with an umbre and his shirt wet, Jiang Xian''s heart couldn''t help but ache a little. "It''s nothing ¡ª I was afraid you might be scared of the heavy rain, so I came to keep youpany," "To chat with you." Jiang Xian closed the shutter, her pretty face uncontrobly blushing. To chat, clearly he meant to kiss. Sure enough, the moment the shutter closed, Li Zhiyan embraced Jiang Xian''s slender waist and kissed her red lips. And Jiang Xian eagerly responded as the sound of rain outside, Indeed made it very easy for the hormones to surge. An 18-year-old boy and a 41-year-old mature woman kissed in the store, and Li Zhiyan repeated what he had done for the first time today with Aunt Fang. Feeling Auntie Jiang''s embrace. Though Jiang Xian felt very shy, she let Li Zhiyan have his way, After all, familiarity breedsfort. The two moved from the store to the small room at the back. As soon as theyy down, Jiang Xian''s phone rang. It was from her son Yen Lei. Even though Yen Lei had done something very excessive today, Jiang Xian''s heart still cared deeply for her son. After all, a son and a husband are different; a son is one''s own flesh and blood, raised by oneself. After hesitating for a moment, she sat up. She stuffed the storybook under the pillow and answered the call. "Mom, when are you and dad getting back together?" The first sentence upon connecting the call, Made Jiang Xian''s heart turn cold, which left Li Zhiyan somewhat speechless. This Yen Lei''s intelligence was far inferior to Liu Yaolong''s; Liu Yaolong, in his attempt to deceive Aunt Fang into taking medicine to make money, even pretended to apologize to her. Chapter 222: In the cabin of the clothing store 108, Jiang Xian feeds Li Zhiyan_5 Then, after gaining favor, he would think about achieving his own goals. But looking at this Yen Lei, he started with usations right off the bat... He was just a pure giant baby. However, after considering Yen Zhengjin''s direct approach of demanding gifts, Li Zhiyan didn''t find it surprising anymore. Like father, like son. And he still thinks he can get Auntie Jiang to remarry him? That''s simply impossible. "I said, I don''t want to remarry your dad." "Don''t you understand? And don''t you have anything to say about what happened during the day?" It was precisely because she hadn''t remarried that Jiang Xian was free to kiss and embrace Li Zhiyan. After discovering the true nature of Yen Zhengjin, Jiang Xian hadpletely given up on the idea of remarriage. Still, in her heart, she hoped her son would realize his mistake and apologize to her. After all, in this world, all mothers love their sons. It''s maternal instinct. "I don''t have anything to say." "Just hurry up and remarry my dad." "Without my dad, what are you? A stinking whore!" In that instant, Jiang Xian''s mind wentpletely nk. Stinking whore¡ªa phrase she had heard before from Yen Zhengjin. Now, her own son was hurling the same insult at her. Is this how a son should speak to his mother? Not just Jiang Xian, but even Li Zhiyan felt his brain about to explode, wanting to grab Yen Lei and beat him up. Snatching the phone, Li Zhiyan hung up the call. Then he added Yen Lei''s number to the cklist... "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan patted Jiang Xian''s shoulder, and the next second, she threw herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms. This time, although she didn''t cry, she sat there in silence. It was clear that her heart was deeply saddened. "Auntie Jiang..." "Let''s not bother with that person anymore." "After all, he is not only your son but also Yen Zhengjin''s son." "There''s a saying, like father, like son." "Such a person doesn''t deserve to be called human; he even curses his own mother." "He''s nothing but a beast." This beast was not only Yen Lei but also Liu Yaolong. That''s why Aunt Fang had given all her ardent love and sincerity to him alone. Looking at the current trend, Auntie Jiang would do the same. She would only dote on and love him alone for the rest of her life. That''s for the best. "Xiao Yan..." After a long while, Jiang Xian''s tears finally fell. "I never imagined that my son, whom I''ve raised since he was a child, would turn out like this." Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian close. "Auntie Jiang, it''s okay. Even if there''s no one else in the world who truly cares about you, I will care." "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side." "If somethinges up, you can message me at any time to find me." At this moment, Jiang Xian''s heart was incredibly fragile. So, upon hearing what Li Zhiyan had said... She was deeply moved inside and in a burst of emotion, She grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand. Then, she voluntarily reciprocated. And kissed him, feeling the intense warmth of Auntie Jiang''s kiss. In his heart, Li Zhiyan was somewhat grateful to Yen Lei. The young people of today, how they love to send their mothers right to the door. "Auntie Jiang..." After a while, Li Zhiyan muttered somewhat unclearly, "Auntie Jiang, could you feed me dinner?" "I really want to taste the food you feed me." "I want to have some dinner." Thinking about the delicious food Jiang Xian cooked, Li Zhiyan was getting a bit hungry at that moment. Today, he wanted to get even closer to Auntie Jiang. "No... I can''t..." Jiang Xian instinctively still wanted to resist the idea of feeding Li Zhiyan dinner. At this hour, it''s not even dinner anymore; it should be called a supper. "Auntie Jiang, please, I love you the most." "Alright?" He was now 18, an adult, but in front of this 41-year-old woman, he was just a kid. Being a kid asking for favors really had too many advantages. This, Li Zhiyan truly felt deep down. The words ''I love you'' hit Jiang Xian right in her heart; it seemed like Li Zhiyan was truly sincere with her. He was the only one who helped her selflessly and cared for her. If it wasn''t for her trip to the inte cafe to check if any students were online, when she met Li Zhiyan, she couldn''t even imagine what her situation would be like now. Actually, this request wasn''t too much to ask. After a long while, her cheeks blushing, she said, "Alright then, I''ll do it for you." Li Zhiyan was very happy and slightly excited inside. He then gentlyy on Jiang Xian''sp, waiting for Auntie Jiang to feed him supper. Chapter 237: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_5 ``` "If we can maintain the current business, we could earn a profit of twenty thousand yuan a month in the future." "You''re absolutely right, the key to selling clothes is the style." Li Zhiyan handed the chilled sour plum drink to Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang, you drink first." As he spoke, he lowered the shutter door. The moment the shutter came down, Jiang Xian felt Li Zhiyan hade to join her for some snacks. After all, that day Li Zhiyan hade for midnight snacks many times. Even so, he still felt it wasn''t enough. However, to her surprise, Li Zhiyan just looked at her and said, "Auntie Jiang, although it''s a bit cruel, I still have to tell you." Jiang Xian had a bad feeling, could it be about her son? "Xiao Yan, go ahead." "It''s Yen Lei, I saw him preparing red paint, likely nning to ssh it on your shop." "Today, while I wasn''t on the street, I heard him talking on the phone with Yen Zhengjin. Yen Zhengjin said if you agreed to remarry him, he would reward Yen Lei with fifty thousand yuan." "It''s probably because of this that he came to find you before." "Once the red paint is sshed, it''s simply impossible to clean off." "And it will emit a very unpleasant smell; for a long time toe, the shop is unlikely to do any business." Yen Lei, truly born bad to the core, Li Zhiyan hadn''t thought he would stoop so low against his own mother, sshing red paint, which looks like blood - definitely enough to frighten a woman. "Really...?" The sour plum drink in Jiang Xian''s hand almost slipped; her son. To think he would do such a thing. Last time he came to smash her shop was already too much, and now he even thought about sshing red paint on it. Upon thinking, Jiang Xian''s heart couldn''t help but be overwhelmed with grief. Is this the good son she had raised from a child? How ridiculous. "Auntie Jiang, let''s hide outside the shop. If Yen Leies, we can catch him in the act." Only ten or so minutes remained before the mission''s execution time. Li Zhiyan knew they would definitely be able to wait it out. "Okay..." "Auntie will go out with you." After following Li Zhiyan outside, Jiang Xian pulled down the shutter door. Since most college dorms have curfews, there weren''t many people left on the street now. After Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan hid in the alley next door, they waited quietly for Yen Lei to arrive. In her heart, Jiang Xian prayed that her son wouldn''te. If he really did the act of sshing paint, she would no longer have a son in her heart. What he had done before was already heartbreaking enough. "Auntie Jiang." "If hees, what will you do?" "Then I''ll pretend I never had this son." Before long, Yen Lei indeed came carrying a bucket. Weak from only knowing how to y games, he tottered under the weight of the paint bucket, struggling with every step. "He really came..." At this moment, Jiang Xian''s heart sunk to the bottom. Upon reaching the shop''s entrance, Yen Lei''s eyes filled with the desire for fifty thousand yuan; he opened the lid and a pungent smell wafted out. This confirmed for Jiang Xian that it was indeed the smell of low-quality red paint. Her son had such a malicious heart, never caring that she was his own mother, never caring about her. At this moment, Jiang Xian''s heart died. "What are you doing!" Just as Yen Lei was about to ssh the paint, he suddenly heard Li Zhiyan''s shout, startling him. The next second, Li Zhiyan''s foot kicked him, and Yen Lei was sent flying. Too scared to care, he ran off. He deeply hated Li Zhiyan, who always spoiled his ns. If it weren''t for him, the shop would have been ruined tonight! ... After cleaning up the paint and returning indoors with Jiang Xian, they lowered the shutter door again. Li Zhiyan took off his T-shirt and washed his hands. Only then was the smell of paint gone. "Auntie Jiang..." "Don''t be sad. You must have been prepared for his behavior." Jiang Xian indeed had been prepared, so she didn''t cry on the spot, but her heart still harbored some hope, which now was filled with disappointment. Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Jiang Xian took the initiative and kissed him. Their kiss continued from outside all the way into the little house. Afterward, Jiang Xian fed Li Zhiyan snacks. Some timeter, Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian''s hand, said, "Auntie Jiang, will you help me, please?" He gently kissed the palm of her hand. He knew that a mature woman like Auntie Jiang would understand his meaning. Their rtionship had reached a point of transformation. ``` Chapter 238: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian''s jade hand, Auntie Jiang''s hand was really smooth and soft, as if boneless. He gently kissed Jiang Xian''s hand again. Li Zhiyan whispered, "Auntie Jiang, is it good?" Jiang Xian''s face grew redder and redder, this kid always had some ideas. But this time, it wasn''t like the previous kisses. "The doctor said that a young man who always holds back is prone to get sick." Li Zhiyan embraced Jiang Xian and then gently kissed her lips. Jiang Xian instinctively responded, by now she had gotten used to kissing Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Jiang, is it good..." After a long while, Jiang Xian gently wiped a curve at the corner of her mouth. "Good..." "However, Auntie is doing this for your health, don''t overthink it." "Understand?" At the moment Jiang Xian agreed, Li Zhiyan felt his hormones rushing rapidly. He then kissed Jiang Xian again. "Auntie Jiang, you''re so kind..." "Mm... Xiao Yan, we agreed, just this once." ... After a long while, Li Zhiyan walked out of the clothing store. The roller shutter was pulled down again. ncing at thete hour, Li Zhiyan hailed a cab home... At this moment, he felt incredibly pleased within, but thinking back to the recent incident, a mature woman indeed has experience. He had never dared to imagine seeing Auntie Jiang in such a light before. The other side of Auntie Jiang, with rosy cheeks full of mature feminine charm and allure. It truly set the blood racing. On the way, Li Zhiyan remembered what Yin Qiang had said about the punishment. Clearly, Yin Xueyang intended to make a move against him, and Li Zhiyan felt that this woman''s name had a certain significance. Daring to target him, then as a spirited person, he must truly turn the tables on the antagonist. Make her unable to bully anyone else. At eleven o''clock, Li Zhiyan arrived home. Just as he got home, he saw Zhou Rongrong was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him. "Son, you''re back." "Mom, you haven''t gone to bed sote?" He gently hugged his mother and then Li Zhiyan went to take a shower. With her son back home, Zhou Rongrong felt relieved and went to sleep in the master bedroom. Just as shey down, she remembered, had she not smelled a woman''s fragrance just now? That scent wasn''t hers. Could it be that her son had embraced some woman? Could it be Su Mengchen... Thinking it over, Zhou Rongrong''s heart felt a bit sour. Her son had finally grown up, be a real man. He was dating, although a girl with a disability wasn''t ideal. However, in Zhou Rongrong''s heart, it was always better than her son bringing home a woman in her forties to call her mom. Back when Li Zhiyan asked her if she could ept a rtionship with an age difference of over twenty years, although she loved her son dearly in her heart, she was still inevitably startled, as any mother might find it difficult to ept. But her heart was more amodating. ... After taking a shower, Li Zhiyany in his bedroom, turning on the night light. Even though he had just been busy for a while, his spirits were high. One reason was that he was only 18 years old now. The other reason was due to the title he had received from the system, which really endowed him with boundless energy. "In the future, I can visit Auntie Jiang during the lunch break..." Thinking about it, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble sense of anticipation. After all, Auntie Jiang''s small room was very cozy. He checked the reward of one hundred thousand yuan that had just been credited to his ount. Now Li Zhiyan''s savings had returned to 360,000 yuan, no longer needing to do tasks for mere tens of thousands, his earnings had significantly increased. "New mission released." "Because the coordinator will identally twist her foot at home tomorrow evening." "As a good neighbor, please go help Han Xueying with a massage." "Mission reward, forty thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan was taken aback, was this to make his savings an even number? A savings of four hundred thousand was nice, and just a simple massage could earn forty thousand yuan, so he certainly had to undertake this task. Thinking it over, Li Zhiyan was filled with expectation. This time, the system was clearly a lot more generous. It issued another task with a reward of one hundred thousand yuan. "Because Yen Zhengjin lost fifty thousand yuan again at the arcade." "Thus, his mood was very foul, and not long after, he won three hundred thousand yuan on a gambling website." "Wholly consumed by greed, he kept going all in." "Ultimately, he lost four hundred thousand." "In his agony, he got blind drunk." "He started to make harassing phone calls and even went to threaten Jiang Xian at her shop." "Please intervene." "Mission reward, one hundred thousand yuan in cash." Looking at the mission reward, Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, Jiang Xian just couldn''t sleep at all. She gently smelled the scent on her hand and at the tip of her nose. Jiang Xian kept reflecting on what had happened before. She really was a shameless woman to have gotten so close to an 18-year-old boy. And she was 41 years old. Before her divorce, she had even been his mother-inw, although now there was no rtionship between them. Just a man and a woman, not even pregnancy would be a concern. But... Jiang Xian''s heart still had a hurdle she couldn''t get over. She and Li Zhiyan after all had such a big age difference, yet she had been with him... Chapter 239: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_2 After a while, Jiang Xian turned on the orangemp. Then she opened up the collection of stories, savoring the tales within. "What will happen to Xiao Yan and me..." Jiang Xian''s pair of snow-white beautiful legs curled together, as she continuously thought about Li Zhiyan''s appearance. This child, truly, could never be absent from her life. Her rtionship with him had already developed to this point, so could things stille to a stop? Meanwhile, Su Mengchen was also awake, although she usually went to sleep around nine o''clock. But today, Li Zhiyan''s words echoed non-stop in her head... Do her legs really look so good? For years, what she loathed most in her heart was her slightlyme leg. "If I dated Li Zhiyan, would he really not mind it?" Su Mengchen''s inferiorityplex was deeply rooted and not something that could be dispelled momentarily. However, she truly had started to like Li Zhiyan. But for her to suddenly be together with Li Zhiyan, she still found it somewhat difficult. Her eptance of things was always incredibly slow. ... That night, many people did not sleep. Yin Qiang''s mother, Yin Xueyang, was one of those who stayed awake. Li Zhiyan always felt her ID meant something. At the moment, she was dwelling on her son being bullied, and the punishment for Li Zhiyan was already issued. Now, she was just waiting for the school''s notification. For Yin Xueyang, her son was the mainstay of her life. Thus, she indulged him even when he went too far in school. Thinking of Li Zhiyan, her heart still held some hatred that made her teeth itch, and it was deep into the night when suddenly Yin Xueyang noticed a smell. It was an ident; she had wet her pants once again. For a long time, Yin Xueyang had an embarrassing ailment¡ªwhen emotionally agitated, she''d suffer from incontinence. She tried many hospitals, to no avail. Fortunately, this was in her own bedroom. After changing into a new set of clothes, she wished there was a miracle-working Hua Tuo alive who could cure her condition, as being a patient suffering from this was truly unbearable. "Is there such a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in the world who can cure difficult andplicated diseases?" Yin Xueyang looked at her three fingers and thought, then she also slowlyy down to rest. It was time to rx, she had business matters to attend to tomorrow. ... At this moment, Zhou Rongrong''s best friend, Wu Qingxian, was squatting in her room, taking a bath. The apartment she rented was one of those old residential buildings. There was no water heater in the room; she normally used a kettle to boil water. Then poured the water into a basin... Bathing with a towel, which was very inconvenient, although such a difficult life still held hope for her... Her son was already in his second year of college, and in two more years, he could graduate and find a job to support her. By now, she had also saved nearly three hundred thousand yuan for him. She nned to find a ce to make a down payment soon, preparing for Zhang Honglei''s future wedding house. Wu Qingxian earned a low ie, and the nearly three hundred thousand yuan of savings were umted over the years after barely covering living expenses. After the bath, she approached the worn out wardrobe. Looking at the few old cheongsams inside, she picked one to wear. Even though the clothing was old, it still perfectly entuated her figure and fair skin. Just out of the bath, she looked exceptionally attractive with the charm of a gorgeous mature woman. Just then, a knock at the door sounded. Wu Qingxian felt a surge of excitement¡ªcould it be her son hade home? Normally, even on Sundays, Zhang Honglei was unwilling toe home. What was different about today that he had taken the initiative to visit? Could it be that he missed her? It seemed that her son indeed cared about his mother deep down. After opening the door... Indeed, the son she had missed stood before her eyes. "Son, you''ve lost weight. Is the food in the school not good?" "Otherwise, from now on, you could juste home to eat." Zhang Honglei didn''t speak. Wu Qingxian worked in this area just for his well-being and rented an apartment. Normally, it would be an incredibly touching gesture. But Zhang Honglei wasn''t moved. If he ate at home, then his monthly living allowance would drop from over a thousand yuan to just four hundred. What could he do with four hundred yuan of spending money? Therefore, Zhang Honglei adamantly stayed away from home. "Mom, I want to buy a pair of shoes. Give me money." Hearing her son ask for money, Wu Qingxian''s eyes filled with distress. Asking for money for education or to do something worthwhile would definitely receive her approval. After all, she would do anything for her son''s well-being. But he always wanted money for clothes, easily costing four or five hundred a piece, which was unbearable on a monthly sry of a bit more than four thousand. She had no other support. Neither did she have an exceptional son like Zhou Rongrong, and hoping for her son to marry and have children seemed like an incredibly difficult task. "How much?" Although it pained her, this was her only son. If it was for a pair of shoes costing a few hundred... Chapter 240: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_3 Here is the tranted text: ``` Then, he could also give that to her. "Five thousand." Zhang Honglei had originally wanted four thousand yuan, but after remembering that his mom had once mentioned the family had three hundred thousand yuan in savings, he decided to ask for five thousand yuan. The extra thousand would let him buy some branded shirts or something. Thinking about it made his heart uncontrobly excited. "Five thousand!" Wu Qingxian couldn''t trust what she had heard. Five thousand yuan, so much money that her monthly sry wasn''t enough... How could it be possible to use it to buy a pair of shoes? "No, Mom can''t agree to this. I''ve told you before, you should y less with those wealthy ssmates of yours. Their families are all in business." "Mom is just an ordinary office worker, I can''t afford such expenses." "Don''t you know how long four thousand yuan can support the two of us?" "And we haven''t bought a house yet, we need to look for one during this time." "We can''t waste money like this now." "You are my everything, but we can''t spend money like this." Zhang Honglei didn''t speak. He hadn''t listened to a single word of his mom''s earnest advice. All he could think about was getting the money so he could buy thetest Nike sneakers and make his ssmates envy him. If possible, he even wanted his mom to buy him a BMW 3 Series. But he knew that this request was unlikely to be fulfilled. If he had the chance, he might as well mention it. "If you don''t want to give it, then don''t. What''s with all the nonsense." He turned and left, and while Wu Qingxian, in her slippers, wanted to catch up and properly educate her son, what she faced instead was the sound of the iron door being mmed shut as Zhang Honglei swiftly left down the stairs. It waste, and it wasn''t safe outside. Even though she was already 40 years old, Wu Qingxian had always had admirers, and she knew it wasn''t safe for her to go out. She returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, starting to call Zhang Honglei to have a good talk. But at that moment, Zhang Honglei wasn''t answering the phone... All he could think about was getting five thousand yuan from Wu Qingxian to meet his needs for fitting into the social circle. As for other things, they didn''t matter at all. After a while, Wu Qingxian began to text Zhang Honglei. But when Zhang Honglei saw those tender words, he simply hit the delete key. Unless she gave him five thousand yuan to buy the shoes, he wouldn''t talk to her. ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan had washed up, he smelled the delicious aromaing from the kitchen. Thinking of his mom going to work soon, Li Zhiyan''s heart was filled with reluctance. It would''ve been nice to stay by mom''s side all the time. "Mom, I really hope you could stop working and just stay home with me." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s words, Zhou Rongrong, who was putting a fried egg in front of him, also gently smiled and said, "You''re 18 now, should be looking for a girlfriend, not being shy." "Who else would want their mom to apany them every day at this age." "If Wu Auntie heard this, she''d make fun of you for being a mama''s boy again." Li Zhiyan didn''t mind at all. "I don''t care if I''m called a mama''s boy, I like being one. Mom, please consider it, don''t work from now on." Zhou Rongrong, after bringing another fried egg over, sat down to eat with Li Zhiyan. "When your inte caf¨¦ and milk tea shop are stable, Mom will stay with you, okay son?" Actually, Zhou Rongrong also wanted to be with her son every day. After all, he was the only blood and rtive she had in this world, how could she not love her son. For her son, she was willing to do anything. "I understand, Mom." "I''ll wait for you toe back and cook dinner tonight." "Okay." After breakfast, Li Zhiyan walked his mom to the downstairs of their apartmentplex, and only after watching Zhou Rongrong ride her electric bicycle to work did he reluctantly take a taxi to Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Only having lost once did he realize how precious this selfless affection in the world was. His mom was definitely the person who loved him the most in this world, iparably. After arriving at Brotherhood Inte Cafe, Li Zhiyan was still thinking about the counselor''s task. The reward of forty thousand yuan was not a lot, but just for helping the counselor ease his pain to get forty thousand yuan was just like picking it up for free, Li Zhiyan was looking forward to it. "Brother Yan, you''re here, log in." This heavily addicted inte junkie only had one thing to say to him every time he saw him: "log in." Li Zhiyan had long been used to this... "Okay, let''s have a good couple of games today." "I''ll leave around four in the afternoon." Li Shiyu''s eyes were full of envy. He was very clear that his best friend had be a male god, and so wealthy; his life must be colorful. It definitely didn''tck beauties. "Brother Yan, did any of your college ssmates offend you?" As Li Zhiyan logged in, Li Shiyu asked. "There should be, I guess." Li Shiyu said thoughtfully, "Anyone who offends you should first check if their mom is pretty." "Being your enemy, having a mom is a fatal weakness." Li Zhiyan: "..." His best friend was increasingly bold... Since returning, the talkative boldest person he had met was Li Meifeng. And another bold in temperament was Yin Xueyang. ``` Chapter 241: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_4 ``` "Fine, let''s y some games," she said. "I thought you enjoyed reporting people. Today, I''ll let you have your fun." ... It was after nine o''clock. Yin Xueyang, dressed in silk stockings and a short skirt, had prepared breakfast in the kitchen. She still had to deal with some business socializingter on. At this moment, Yin Qiang walked in. "Son,e have some breakfast," he said. Yin Qiang asked, "Mom, how''s the handling of Li Zhiyan going? Just thinking about him makes my teeth itch with hatred." If it wasn''t for Li Zhiyan showing up, Su Mengchen would be mine by now. Although I would definitely never marry her. But her D-cup breasts, her fair, shapely legs, and her stunning looks... Would absolutely astound me. But because of Li Zhiyan''s interference, all my ns are now ruined. Now, I can''t even be friends with Su Mengchen anymore. "Don''t worry. The disciplinary action will be issued tomorrow. He''ll receive a major demerit." Chapter Experience: "If he doesn''te to apologize to my son, there''s no way he''d be able to graduate." Yin Xueyang had full confidence in dealing with an ordinary kid like Li Zhiyan who had no connections. He''ll surelye begging to let him off the hook. "Okay, thanks, Mom. I''ll skip breakfast." "I''ve got stuff to do." Grabbing the keys to his BMW, Yin Qiang left the house. He was going to buy those Nike sneakers, and there was also a sophomore girl, average-looking but flirtatious, who had thrown herself at him. Yin Qiang was very interested in women like that. "Alright." After her son left, Yin Xueyang received a call from her best friend. "Hey, have you set off yet?" "I''m eating right now, I''ll be there soon." "Yin, you big beauty, I got my little boyfriend totally under controlst night." "There''s nothing to it, just good with my waist." "You''re so pretty." "When are you going to add a little brother or sister for your family''s Yin Qiang?" Listening to her friend''s bragging, Yin Xueyang was not to be outdone. "What''s the big deal about that? You think you can outdo me in waist strength? I can do seven or eight half-squats in one second. You didn''t know how good I was at the gym." The other end of the phone went silent. This woman was indeed formidable when working out in the gym. "Alright, I get it, Yin, you big beauty. Hurry up, we''re waiting for you." ... While ying games, Li Zhiyan was also chatting with Su Mengchen and the aunties through the chat window. This made Li Shiyu beside him green with envy. Brother Yan''s way with women is seriously unbeatable. They yed until past three in the afternoon before Li Zhiyan exited the chat. "I''m heading out now." "You keep ying." "Okay." Li Shiyu knew his close friend was no ordinary guy. He had even opened a bubble tea shop at university¡ªmaybe he was handling other businesses, or even moonlighting as a range hood repairman, or a courier unclogging drains. He couldn''t just think about ying games all day like himself. After saying goodbye to his pal, Li Zhiyan checked the time and took a cab back to Left Bank Home. Just as he arrived at the entrance of Left Bank Home, he happened to run into Han Xueying, who was returning from grocery shopping in her professional attire. "Aunt Han." "Xiao Yan." Looking at Li Zhiyan, Han Xueying felt a little conflicted. The kid was really outstanding. Just his preference for mature women wasn''t good; it''s unhealthy for his psyche. What kind of woman in her forties would like an 18-year-old kid? Certainly not her. "Aunt Han, you had your hair permed." Today, Han Xueying''s hair was freshly permed, which made her appear even more coquettish. "Mhm, I just had it done today." Han Xueying was very pleased with her hairstyle. "It looks great." Looking at the counselor''s pair of flesh-toned stockings and beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan admired her with a 20% increase in respect. The counselor was truly a respectable woman. If I have the chance, I should take good care of her. "Aunt Han, I''m thinking of asking for a few days off soon. Is that okay?" Because of the task from Yen Zhengjin, he needed Han Xueying''s approval to take time off during school hours. "No, Xiao Yan, even though you''re impressive..." At this point, Han Xueying couldn''t help but feel a spontaneous admiration. This kid was truly remarkable. Compared to him, her son was indeed far too inferior. Not even the rich kids could match up to him. "But a student''s main responsibility is to study. A teacher can''t just grant leave so carelessly." Li Zhiyan didn''t press further, knowing that he could apply for leave once hepleted the task. In the future, once he''d properly expressed his filial piety to Teacher Han, letting her feel his full devotion, then asking for leave wouldn''t be a problem at all. "I understand, Aunt Han." "Mhm, good boy." Han Xueying reached out her immacte hand and patted Li Zhiyan on the head. ... Back at home and loungingfortably on the couch, Li Zhiyan received an unexpected call. It was from his mother-inw, Shen Rongfei. "Mom." By now, Shen Rongfei had grown fully ustomed to Li Zhiyan calling her mom. She even felt an urge to call him son. But, after all, her daughter and Li Zhiyan weren''t officially together yet. It wouldn''t be proper to call him son. A kid like him can fool around, but not her. At over forty, she couldn''t join in his antics. ``` Chapter 228: 110 Moving house with mom! Silk stockings Fang Zhiya online Boys often shower quickly, and Li Zhiyan was no exception. Soon, he emerged from the bathroom. Upon entering the bedroom, he was met with the sight of Fang Zhiya wearing a maid outfit,plete with twin ponytails. The image of Aunt Fang, at the age of 42, sporting twin ponytails gave Li Zhiyan an odd sense of contrast. "Do I look good, Xiao Yan..." Fang Zhiya asked with her head lowered. "You look beautiful, Aunt Fang. You have a great figure, and you''re pretty, so anything you wear looks good." Then, Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently embraced Fang Zhiya. And they kissed. Having had quite a bit of hormones earlier, Li Zhiyan really needed to release some. "Aunt Fang, I''ve missed you so much..." "Baby, Auntie has missed you too." Aunt Fang, as always, was passionate and sincere; her love for Li Zhiyan reached its peak. Since the moment Liu Yaolong betrayed her, all her love had poured into Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Fang, can we not do it today..." "Actually, it''s a safe period, it''s nothing to worry about." Fang Zhiya nodded gently, touching Li Zhiyan''s face: "But after the safe period is over, we can''t do it like this, baby." "Okay..." ... At that moment, in a spacious apartment, Yin Qiang wasining to his mother. "Mom!" "That Li Zhiyan is really detestable." Inside the study, Yin Xueyang was busily dealing with work-rted matters. As a department head, she was always quite busy. Upon hearing her son, Yin Qiang,e to tattle, Yin Xueyang frowned. Yin Xueyang, at the age of 42, was a very mature and beautiful woman. She had a magnificent bust and a notably prominent rear, along with a face that was charming and seductive. She had some resemnce to Shen Rongfei. However, her demeanor dripped with a certain sensual quality, as her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed. Yin Xueyang had not expected that this Li Zhiyan would consistently offend her precious son. Last time he was rushing through the green channel to obtain a business license, she had already obstructed him once, and now he had troubled her son again. After that, Yin Qiang exaggerated the incident that had urred in the dormitory. His mother, Yin Xueyang, who doted on him the most, clenched her fists lightly. "Go to sleep first, I will take good care of this matter." Seeing his mother''s angry expression, Yin Qiang felt relieved and returned to his room. After Yin Qiang left, Yin Xueyang''s slightly plump, beautiful legs crossed as she sat down, a result of her fuller derriere. Her legs were also slightly plump, but her waist was exceptionally slender, creating a bit of a contradiction. After a while, she received a call from her best friend. Instantly, she adopted a different demeanor. "Hello." "Who is the handsome young man you''re with tonight?" The voice on the other end of the phone spoke with envy: "How could I possibly be with someone?" "With my looks, what handsome young man would fancy me, not like Chief Yin." "Chief Yin, with your stunning looks and body, plus that ultimate perky bottom men dream of, you would have no trouble finding a handsome young man if you wanted one!" Yin Xueyang kept up her flirty banter, always speaking this way. "I do have quite a lot of milk." "I''d like to find a handsome young man to feed, why don''t you find one for me?" "Oh, give me a break..." Her best friend clearly knew Yin Xueyang very well. "You might talk the talk more than anyone else, but after so many years since your divorce, you still keep yourself pure. I don''t know who you''re waiting for." "I know you''re picky, liking only the handsome, talented, and wealthy; but those kinds of men are hard toe by." "Wasting away alone at home, what an absolute shame." Yin Xueyang looked at her three un-manicured fingers, Stay tuned to mvl and fell into contemtion, knowing that finding someone for herself was almost an impossible feat. But being able to see her son get married and have children would be enough for her. Even if it meant living alone, she wouldn''t just casually find a man to be with her. "But it''s strange when you think about it, most beautiful women seem unable to escape the fate of divorce." "All the beautiful women around us are divorced. Maybe it''s just the curse of beauty." As they chatted, Yin Xueyang began to ponder how to exact revenge on Li Zhiyan. A first-year student dared to bully her son; she had to make sure he didn''t graduate. ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, his heart overflowed with feelings of happiness. While looking up at the ceiling, he enjoyed the full view of Aunt Fang''s maid outfit. Aunt Fang had really done so, so much for him. After getting up and washing up, he went over to where Fang Zhiya was cooking. Li Zhiyan gently embraced Fang Zhiya; at their home, this gesture had be a habitual action for him. "Baby..." "Give it a rest for a while." Fang Zhiya turned around and kissed Li Zhiyan, a bit wary of him possibly starting any mischief. She was indeed very tired. "Don''t worry, Aunt Fang..." "I care for you too. You just need to feed meter." "Okay..." Before having breakfast, Li Zhiyan snacked a little, and as usual, after bundling up Fang Zhiya very tightly, they parted outside theplex. Then Li Zhiyan finally headed to college; the weather was still somewhat overcast today. The stifling feeling was very ufortable as he thought about tasks on his mind. Chapter 229: 110 Moving house with mom! Silk stockings Fang Zhiya online_2 His current goal was to earn three million and then start an intepany. To be a tycoon with an annual ie of tens of millions. But his savings were only at 260,000. That meant he had to diligently carry out his tasks. "I wonder if the rewards for future tasks will continue to increase..." Li Zhiyan''s heart was full of anticipation. When he arrived at the ssroom, as usual, Li Zhiyan sat with three show-offs and listened to lectures while the trio chatted away. And Li Zhiyan, as always, chatted with Su Mengchen on QQ. Su Mengchen had been talking to him more and more. Even during the ss, she would chat with him a bit. Perhaps because she had previously neglected Li Zhiyan, Gu Wanzhou spoke noticeably more to him as well. Stay tuned to §Þ?? At that moment, Gu Wanzhou was in her office. Her mind kept reying the moment when Li Zhiyan had massaged her in the private room. Or rather, it wasn''t exactly a massage. It was more like leg rubbing. Next time, her meeting with him was drawing near, it would be on Li Meifeng''s birthday. Li Zhiyan was going to attend, and she was going to see him again. "Xiao Yan, on your Aunt Li''s birthday." "We''ll be able to meet." "Very soon, it''s just in a few days." Li Zhiyan: "I know, Aunt Gu." Gu Wanzhou: "But you can''t say that I''m your girlfriend for the month." Even if one day she truly got together with Li Zhiyan, Gu Wanzhou would keep this a tight-lipped secret, for a rtionship with a 23-year age gap was uneptable to society. ... In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan tried to ask Su Mengchen out for a walk. He didn''t hold out much hope. But to his surprise, Su Mengchen gave him an unexpected surprise. She actually agreed toe. "Okay." Su Mengchen''s simple response left Li Zhiyan feeling like he was dreaming. After ss... Li Zhiyan arrived at the artificialke in the school where he had agreed to meet Su Mengchen. The school''s artificialke was a great ce to cool off and escape the summer heat. From a distance, Li Zhiyan saw Su Mengchen standing by theke waiting for him. She wore a ck long skirt that covered half of her thigh, and those slender legs were very eye-catching. The beauty of a young girl''s legs is always like this, finer, with many girls priding themselves on having a pair of "chopstick legs." But Li Zhiyan preferred somewhat fuller and shapelier legs. The most perfect, in his opinion, were Auntie Rao''s legs, voluptuously just right. He knew that with his effort, Chenchen would gradually be the perfect obsession in his heart. For now, she was still too green. "Chenchen." "Mhm..." Su Mengchen hummed, but her voice was so soft that only she could hear it; to outsiders, it would seem quite rude, but to Li Zhiyan, it didn''t matter. Because he knew Su Mengchen best. "Chief Yin." "Chief Yin." At that moment, the sound of high heels clicking approached, and Li Zhiyan turned to look. He saw a woman with a seductively pretty face. Her walking posture was like that of a model on television, her eyes full of arrogance. Yet her gorgeous face always gave off a flirtatious vibe. Her D-cup bust was very prominent. But what really stood out was her perky behind, incredibly proportioned,parable to Auntie Rao''s voluptuously contoured figure. He knew this woman was Yin Qiang''s mother, Yin Xueyang. And in his past life, he had heard that this woman was extremely protective of her son. She had once caused a student to fall short of graduation credits, dying his graduation by more than a year. It seemed he''d be targeted by her in the future. However, Li Zhiyan wasn''t concerned, for once he had earned the three million, he would be able to start an intepany with an annual ie of tens of millions... By then, the ie from hispany, inte cafe, and milk tea shop would total over 1.06 million. Whether he continued attending this university didn''t really matter; Li Zhiyan had chosen to study here mainly to seek out Su Mengchen and the counselor. Still, Yin Xueyang was truly beautiful. As she passed by Li Zhiyan, Yin Xueyang was visibly surprised. The Li Zhiyan in the photo files had seemed like an utterly ordinary man. But now, she saw he was so handsome. It seemed that sometimes photos really couldn''t be trusted; nevertheless, since he had offended her son, she definitely had to deal with him. After Yin Xueyang left, Li Zhiyan focused all his attention on Su Mengchen. "Chenchen, I didn''t expect you toe out," he said. "Let''s walk around here a bit." Su Mengchen nodded lightly, silent, her cheeks perpetually flushed. She was just an 18-year-old girl, beautiful but insecure because of her limp, so she had never dared dream about dating. Now, the sudden appearance of Li Zhiyan made her heart flutter chaotically. She began to harbor many fantasies about love. Li Zhiyan walked very slowly; he knew Su Mengchen didn''t like to walk quickly because it would look awkward. Walking slowly like this made her look hardly different from a normal person. As they walked, Li Zhiyan talked to Su Mengchen, his words filled with admiration and encouragement. After a while, he softly asked, "Chenchen, may I hold your hand?" Su Mengchen''s mind went nk. Li Zhiyan actually wanted to hold her hand. Chapter 230: 110 Moving house with mom! Silk stockings Fang Zhiya online_3 Last time, he said he wanted to start a rtionship with her while they were eating in the cafeteria. Now he was trying to hold her hand... Standing there motionless, it was obvious that Su Mengchen''s brain had crashed again. However, to Li Zhiyan''s surprise, after a few minutes, Su Mengchen shyly nodded her head without saying anything further. Li Zhiyan''s heart filled with joy, and then he gently took Su Mengchen''s delicate hand. The smooth feel of the girl''s hand came through... It filled Li Zhiyan''s heart withplexity; after an entire lifetime, he had finally held these hands again. The moment he grasped Su Mengchen''s hand, Li Zhiyan felt her body tense up instantaneously, clearly indicating such contact was difficult for Su Mengchen to ept. But as he walked with her, she gradually returned to normal, though her pretty face was now hot with blush. The two walked alongside theke like this, and after a long while, he walked her back to her dormitory, still holding hands. Chenchen is the type of woman who can''t rush things, because of deep-seated insecurities from her childhood, she indeed has a lot of psychological issues. This hand-holding was already a significant step forward for her. Back in the dormitory, Su Mengchen covered her face with her hands and buried her head in her desk. This startled her roommates. "Chenchen, what''s wrong? Did someone bully you?" "No wait, why is your face so red, and your neck too? You''re blushing..." "Li Zhiyan didn''t kiss you, did he?" Su Mengchen was too embarrassed to speak... She justy there, repeatedly recalling the scene where Li Zhiyan held her hand in her mind. She had never held hands with a boy in her life. At the same time, a sense of inferiority rose in her heart, she was a person with a limp, and now Li Zhiyan was so tall and handsome, did he truly not look down on her? ... The following time passed in rtive quiet. Li Zhiyan spent his time chatting, and when he had nothing else to do, he would go to the school''s supermarket to hang out with Auntie Wang or to snack and talk with Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan visited the clothing store most frequently, because he knew... Jiang Xian was going through an incredibly fragile period in her life right now. If he didn''t talk to her more, she could easily overthink things. Under Li Zhiyan''s efforts, Auntie Jiang''s mood stabilized significantly as well. And by now, Jiang Xian was also used to feeding Li Zhiyan, which was something she hade to ept. In the blink of an eye, it was Friday afternoon, just after ss ended. Li Zhiyan had just received a call from his mom. "Son, it''s Sunday,e and help mom move houses." Zhou Rongrong was extremely happy back at home. Previously, she thought she would have to live in such an old rental house for her whole life. But unexpectedly, her son was so sessful that he bought a one-million-RMB house at the age of 18. All she had to do was move in. "Okay, Mom, wait for me, I''ll be home right away." Tomorrow night was the time to carry out the mission with Yen Lei, and then his rtionship with Auntie Jiang could progress even further. Li Zhiyan knew, Jiang Xian was a very emotional person. And every action of her son was a considerable hurt to her. However, helping mom with the move was more important for now. Upon returning home, Li Zhiyan saw his mom prettily dressed up, obviously caring a lot about the move. "Mom." "Son, mom has contacted the movingpany, we will be leaving soon." "I''ve packed some of your books in your room." "You should pack the rest of your stuff yourself." Li Zhiyan gave Zhou Rongrong a gentle hug and then went to his own room, his mom always so considerate. Knowing that there were some little secrets in his room, but she never peeked, giving him full respect. It was precisely because of this that his adolescence didn''t feel suffocating. Your journey continues at §Þ?? Looking at the ce he had lived for several years and the oldputer, Li Zhiyan smiled and then began to pack up. Before long, the movingpany''srge truck arrived downstairs. Zhou Rongrong began directing the movers to start the process. As for her clothes and other personal items, she nned to move them herself. Just as she was about to get started, Li Zhiyan stopped her. "Mom, you just stay there and direct, I will help you move your clothes and makeup." Looking at the cheapest makeup products in his mom''s makeup box, Li Zhiyan felt a pang of heartache; he resolved to buy his mom a few sets of quality makeup products in the future. She had really had a tough time these years. From now on, he wouldn''t be short of money and he was determined to provide his mom with a happy and content life. "All right." Watching her son, Zhou Rongrong''s heart filled with increasing happiness. Going back and forth, it took more than half an hour. Their belongings werepletely moved out. "Mom, let''s sublet this apartment." "No need." "I will call thendy and let her take the apartment back." "We''ve only got about ten days of rent left, so it''s not really worthwhile to sublet it." Li Zhiyan wasn''t too familiar with these rental issues at home, but this way it avoided some hassle, considering theplications that cane with subletting. Thendy, ady in her sixties, checked the ce and promptly refunded the deposit to Zhou Rongrong. Chapter 231: 110 Moving with mom! Silk stockings Fang Zhiya online_4 ``` "Xiao Zhou, I really envy you for having such a good son." "To think he''s bought a new house at such a young age." Having just learned that Zhou Rongrong intended to vacate the property, she wished to stop her; after all, tenants like Xiao Zhou who took such good care of their rented home were indeed rare. However, upon hearing that Li Zhiyan had purchased a new house, she too was filled with envy. "Auntie, we''re leaving now." After greeting thendlord, mother and son hailed a taxi to follow the movingpany''s truck. The two of them, along with the movers, busied themselves with the move... It wasn''t until 8 o''clock in the evening that they finally finished the hectic job. After setting up their oldputer in his bedroom and connecting it to the inte, Li Zhiyan returned to the living room. His mom was already sitting on the couch watching TV. Sitting next to Zhou Rongrong, he rested his head on his mother''s shoulder. "Mom, from now on we''re going to live here." "Do you think you can get used to it?" "Of course I can. Wherever my son is, that''s home to me." Zhou Rongrong stroked Li Zhiyan''s face, still feeling as if she were in a dream. Now, all of the mother and son''s belongings were moved in, and from now on, this would be their life. "You stay here for a while; mom is going to make some food for you." Neither had eaten through all the busyness; Zhou Rongrong went into the kitchen in her slippers to start cooking. Watching his mom''s silhouette in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan grew even more fond of his current life. Being able to start anew, with his mother''s constant presence, made his life truly happy. ... After busying herself for over an hour, Zhou Rongrong made a full spread of dishes. "To celebrate our official move, let''s have a couple of drinks together." Zhou Rongrong brought out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen. Li Zhiyan could sense his mother''s happiness; she usually didn''t drink at all. "Alright, mom, I''ll join you." "Xiao Yan, how are things going with that girl you mentioned, Su Mengchen?" Upon hearing his mom ask about Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan honestly replied, "We''ve held hands." "But we''re not together yet." Zhou Rongrong''s eyes showed a mix of emotions; her son had finally grown up. Would he still be as close to his mom as before? Would he forget his mother after getting married? For a moment, Zhou Rongrong felt a pang of loss. "That''s good, you need to work hard." Discover hidden tales at §Þ?? "By the way, mom, I have something to tell you." "Su Mengchen, she''s a bitme." "But I really like her." Li Zhiyan believed his mom could handle this revtion, considering she had epted the possibility of a forty-something daughter-inw. This matter seemed rtively minor inparison. "It''s okay, Xiao Yan, as long as you''re happy I will support you. In this world, you are everything to mom," Zhou Rongrong said, looking at Li Zhiyan with indulgent eyes. Even if one day Li Zhiyan truly brought home a forty-something daughter-inw, she felt in her heart that she could ept it. "Alright, mom, I understand." He also sensed some of the loss in his mother''s heart. "Mom, don''t worry. You worked so hard to raise me. "Even if I get married, you''ll still be the most important woman in my heart. "No one can rece you." Zhou Rongrong smiled tenderly; indeed, there was a strong bond between mother and child. It seemed as if her son knew everything that was in her heart. "Alright, mom understands." "Come, have a drink with mom." Li Zhiyan raised his ss and clinked it with Zhou Rongrong''s; thus began their new life together. ... At night, Zhou Rongrong turned on the air conditioning and covered herself with a light nket. Gazing at the decor and new furniture in the master bedroom, she found it difficult to fall asleep. Her son had given her so many surprises recently, and the things he said were incredibly heartwarming. To have such a son in her life, she truly felt fortunate... ... The next day, Zhou Rongrong, having a rare day off, woke up early to cook for her son. By the time Li Zhiyan finished washing up, breakfast was alreadyid out on the table. "Mom, did you sleep well?" "Mm, I had some trouble falling asleep at first, but now it''s much better. Sometimes I really feel like I''m dreaming. I never thought I could live in a house like this." "Just take your time getting used to it. When I have more money in the future, I will buy you an even better house." Of course, Li Zhiyan aspired to have luxury cars and mansions. Under the right conditions, he would surely get these things in the future. Zhou Rongrong was extremely happy; after having breakfast with Li Zhiyan, she went to the doorway and put on her high heels. "Mom, be careful on your way." "Mm..." Zhou Rongrong gave Li Zhiyan a tight hug. "Son, stay home and be good, and mom will make dinner when she gets back." "Mom, I mighte backte tonight." "It''s okay, mom will wait for you. Let me know ahead of time if you won''t being back." After touching her son''s face, Zhou Rongrong left for work. Li Zhiyan then messaged Fang Zhiya. He hadn''t exercised with Fang Zhiya these past few days and felt his hormones were getting a bit out of control. He knew Aunt Fang must feel the same way. After all, 18 and 42 were the most harmoniouslypatible, perfect ages. Li Zhiyan: "Aunt Fang, are you resting this afternoon?" ``` Chapter 232: 110 Moving with mom! Silk stockings Fang Zhiya online_5 Fang Zhiya replied quickly, because on her QQ, there was only Li Zhiyan. Fang Zhiya: "Mm." Li Zhiyan: "I''lle over in the afternoon." Fang Zhiya: "Okay, I''ll wear that thing you mentioned for you today, Auntie." Li Zhiyan was also slightly stunned, wondering what Aunt Fang intended to wear for him to see. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his hormones exploded in an instant. Actually, he had often told Aunt Fang that he liked ck stockings. For Aunt Fang, it was a very difficult thing to ept, which is why she never agreed to it. Was Aunt Fang now willing to wear ck stockings for him? Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan was eager to see Aunt Fang. Li Zhiyan: "Okay." After chatting with Fang Zhiya for a bit, Li Zhiyan then headed to Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Clearly, Li Shiyu was there waiting for him to log on. ... Upon arriving at the Brotherhood Inte Cafe, sure enough, his buddy was there gaming, with two bottles of icy c ced in front of him. Although they hadn''t arranged a time, he was certain that Li Zhiyan woulde. "Brother Yan, you''re here." "Log in quick; we''re going to fight on all day today." Li Zhiyan sat down, twisted open the icy c, and gulped it down, the joy rushing straight to his head. "Forget about all day." "I''ve got something else in the afternoon." Li Shiyu was curious. "Are you going out for a date? Brother Yan, you''re so handsome now." "There must be loads of girls rushing to ask you out." This statement wasn''t wrong at all. Li Zhiyan''s looks were so striking that he often had young girls on the street hitting on him, trying to get his contact information. He had grown ustomed to this, but it was a pity that he really had no interest in t-chested young girls. He still preferred Aunties. "Stop the nonsense, log on. Oh, and you haven''t been licking Wang Xinyue''s boots, have you?" Li Zhiyan asked, a bit concerned that his buddy would repeat the same mistakes. "Rx, Brother Yan, I won''t do that again. Instead of being apdog for a woman I can''t pursue," "I might as well spend some time chatting with a masseuse sister." Seeing Li Shiyu fully awaken his true Bath Emperor identity, Li Zhiyan let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that his buddy wouldn''t make the same mistakes again. A man, once he has gained some experience, will not be apdog, even for a fairy. After gaming for half a day, when it was nearly 12 PM, Fang Zhiya sent a message. "Auntie has finished work and is on her way to buy groceries." Find adventures on §Þ?? "Honey, you can go home now." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, Aunt Fang, I''ll be right back." All the way home, Li Zhiyan''s heart was racing. When he arrived and opened the door, he was greeted by the savory scent of food from the kitchen. But to his disappointment, beneath Aunt Fang''s short skirt were her clean, white beautiful legs¡ªno ck stockings. "Aunt Fang." "Weren''t you supposed to wear ck stockings?" Li Zhiyan walked over and hugged Fang Zhiya from behind as she was cooking, her body going soft to the point of nearly dropping the spat. "Wait a moment, Xiao Yan, Auntie has already bought them." "After we eat, I''ll wear them for you, okay?" Li Zhiyan held Fang Zhiya tightly, filled with twenty parts excitement, and after nting a kiss on her cherry lips, he retreated to the living room. After Fang Zhiya came out, Li Zhiyan found it hard to look away from her snow-white beautiful legs. Although Aunt Fang was only 160cm, a petite beauty, she had a shapely figure with long legs that would surely look captivatingly different in ck stockings. "Come, eat up, honey." Li Zhiyan scooped up Fang Zhiya and seated her on hisp. "Aunt Fang, have your meal on myp." "Alright...alright..." Fang Zhiya''s voice trembled slightly. After the two finished their lunch together, Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to pick up the ck stockings from the couch. "Wait for a minute, Auntie honey, let me clean up the kitchen first." For Fang Zhiya, leaving the kitchen affairs unfinished always made her feel uneasy. When she sat down next to Li Zhiyan again, he gently lifted Fang Zhiya''s legs and ced them on his own. Feeling Aunt Fang''s leg touch, Li Zhiyan was rather moved. Aunt Fang had changed little by little for him, from being very traditional to willing to adapt, all because she liked him enough. After opening the package, he gently slipped a ck stocking onto Fang Zhiya''s left leg and pulled up the edges, slipping it on carefully. A ck stocking-d beautiful leg appeared in Li Zhiyan''s field of view, the stocking''s length was just right, covering most of her thigh. "Aunt Fang..." "You really do look beautiful in ck stockings." Li Zhiyan gently lowered his head and kissed Fang Zhiya''s thigh. Chapter 233: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan "Xiao Yan, don''t kiss..." Fang Zhiya felt very shy; just putting on ck stockings was already a very bashful act for her, and now Li Zhiyan was kissing her thigh. It made her feel even more embarrassed. "Aunt Fang... I just love your legs." After sitting up, with 20% excitement, he gently unfolded the other ck stocking. Then, he grasped Fang Zhiya''s jade foot, gently slid it on, pulling up the edge little by little. Underneath the short skirt, two perfect ck silk-d legs came into Li Zhiyan''s view. Once she had put on the ck stockings, Fang Zhiya''s legs took on a mysterious allure. This kind of fleeting glimpse was enough to touch one''s soul. Li Zhiyan knew this was the charm of ck silk. "Do they look good?" Every time there was a new trial, Fang Zhiya would always ask such questions, inquiring if she looked good to Li Zhiyan. "Beautiful, Aunt Fang, you really look good in anything." He gave a gentle kiss on Fang Zhiya''s face and then captured her lips with his. The two entwined, with Fang Zhiya holding Li Zhiyan tightly. It was a long time before they separated. "Aunt Fang..." "Let''s go back to the room." "Okay..." "You go ahead, Auntie." Li Zhiyan knew that Aunt Fang probably wanted to draw the curtains; he had be ustomed to it, after all, Aunt Fang was a traditional woman. After putting on high heels and moving her ck silk-d legs to the main bedroom, Fang Zhiya drew the curtains. The originally very bright master bedroom became somewhat dim, an atmosphere that indeed made it easier to recall certain things. After drawing the curtains, Fang Zhiya turned on the air conditioner, as it would be very hotter on. If they didn''t turn on the air conditioning, it would indeed be unbearably hot. After Li Zhiyan closed the door, Fang Zhiya moved towards him of her own ord. Standing on tiptoes, Fang Zhiya initiated a kiss. "Baby..." "Auntie is willing to do anything for you." "Today is still safe, you can do whatever makes you happy." Hearing the traditional Aunt Fang say such things. Li Zhiyan responded, and then, he lifted the delicate Fang Zhiya up. After that, he gently set her down. Looking at Fang Zhiya''s blushing face and those ck silk-covered legs, Li Zhiyan kissed her again. ... A long whileter, Fang Zhiya clung tightly to Li Zhiyan as theyy in his embrace, feeling immensely happy in her heart. "Aunt Fang, I never imagined I would see you wearing ck silk one day." Gently feeling the touch of Aunt Fang''s ck silk legs, Li Zhiyan was still entranced. "Baby, Auntie will wear it often for you in the future." Saying that, Fang Zhiya felt a bit sleepy. "Aunt Fang, let''s sleep..." "We''ll sleep together." Li Zhiyan stroked Fang Zhiya''s hair and whispered, and the two of them fell into a deep sleep together, as the evening approached. Late in the evening, she went to the kitchen to cook for Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan checked the time... there was still some time before he had to carry out his mission. So he was not in a hurry. A long whileter, when Fang Zhiya called out that dinner was ready, Li Zhiyan finally sat down to taste Aunt Fang''s cooking, snacking on some treats as well. Li Zhiyan''s 20% spiritedness made Fang Zhiya feel somewhat scared. The vitality of young people is truly remarkable, as if they never know tiredness. But that''s also true; at the age of 18, even if they stay up all night, they don''t seem to feel tired. "Xiao Yan, will you sleep here tonight?" Fang Zhiya asked, her heart fond of the feeling of lying in Li Zhiyan''s arms and falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat, which gave her a great sense of security and peace, something no other thing could rece. "Aunt Fang, I have to go home tonight." "I''lle over on Monday to sleep with you." Fang Zhiya nodded slightly, aware that Li Zhiyan, a capable young man with his own business, certainly couldn''t spend all his time here. As long as she could see Li Zhiyan frequently, she felt very happy in her heart. "Baby." "After the safe period is over, we really need to take precautions." "Next month, during the dangerous period, Auntie will let you do as you please." "Auntie will try hard to get pregnant for you." After putting on the ck silk, Fang Zhiya''s heart became even clearer, Li Zhiyan was the only person she loved in this world and her only dependence on this world. If she couldn''t have his child, Her life would have regrets. At 42, indeed, it was something she needed to hasten. "Okay..." "Aunt Fang, how about we start preparing for pregnancy when the dangerous periodes? "It doesn''t really make a difference of a few days." "Is that right?" Holding Fang Zhiya''s hand, she thought for a while and then nodded. "Alright then..." "Let''s start preparing for pregnancy when the dangerous periodes this month." Fang Zhiya didn''t dwell on it any longer; it was better to get pregnant sooner. ... At the moment, Yen Zhengjin was on the phone with Yen Lei. "Son, how are the tasks I entrusted to you progressing?" His father-inw hadpletely stopped caring about him, even blocking his calls. Yen Zhengjin knew he had to rely on his son now... If not for his son, reconciliation with his wife would be totally impossible. "Dad, I made a scene at Mom''s ce, and I even called her, but she doesn''t want to get back together." Chapter 234: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_2 Yen Lei was still extremely annoyed when it came to this matter; after all, there was a reward of thirty thousand yuan waiting for him after the remarriage. But his mother, no matter what, was unwilling to remarry. This made Yen Lei feel like his own money was going down the drain. "You''ve got to think of something, make your mom''s shop unable to continue." "As long as the shop can''t go on, she will obediently remarry dad." "As long as your mom remarries dad, dad will reward you with fifty thousand yuan." Yen Zhengjin was very familiar with Jiang Xian''s financial situation. He had clearly calcted that after Jiang Xian opened her shop, her bank ount was basically drained. If he could make Jiang Xian''s shop unable to continue, then, without an ie source, she would definitelye back and remarry him. Thinking of this, Yen Zhengjin couldn''t help but look forward to it. Meanwhile, Yen Lei, who was on his gaming grind, perked up upon hearing his father''s increased reward; at first, he was somewhat stunned, but then he felt an uncontroble excitement rising within. Fifty thousand yuan, almost half as much againpared to the previous thirty thousand, reignited the mes in the heart of someone who had nearly given up. "Dad, don''t worry, I''ll definitely get mom to remarry you." After hanging up the phone, Yen Lei quickly opened 12306 and booked a ticket for half an hourter. Yes, at the peak time of darkness, go dump some red paint! As long as the business at his old mom''s shop declines, she would definitely end up remarrying. ... On the other hand, Yen Zhengjin, while yearning for the charming face and figure of his ex-wife, admitted his impotence with a silent cry. He truly was a worthless man, his own wife couldn''t be won over by him, instead, he had to rely on his son. After arriving at the nearby ATM, he withdrew another fifty thousand yuan. He nned to hit the game hall for a big y, as Yen Zhengjin had recently been continuously losing, amounting to a total loss of four hundred thousand yuan. Caught in the throes of gambling, he had long forgotten that the entire casino was a deceit. Only thinking about breaking even, all gamblers were the same. If they win, they want more; if they lose, they want to recoup their losses. The moment they sit at the gambling table, if they don''t end up bankrupt, abandoned by their wives and children, there''s no possibility they will ever stop. Yen Zhengjin was no different, at this time. He received a text message on his phone ¨C the online site he had been using was back up, and online gambling was once again avable. Remembering the money he had won on the online site and those dazzling gambling visuals, Yen Zhengjin''s heart surged with an uncontroble excitement! It seemed like his chance hade back, he could make big money again. Thinking so, he couldn''t suppress the excitement in his heart. But by that time, the fifty thousand yuan had already been withdrawn. "Maybe I should test my luck in the game hall..." "Perhaps I could turn things around." Right now, it wasn''t just the online gambling sites that had Yen Zhengjin''s brain buzzing with excitement; the colorful scenes of the game hall were equally thrilling. He just adored that feeling of life and death hanging by a thread... Afterward, he arrived at the game hall and directly called the boss over. "Put ten thousand yuan''s worth of credits on." "Alright." The boss was extremely enthusiastic; he truly wanted to honor this god of wealth. Since his arrival, the boss had earned several hundred thousand more. At this rate, he could make enough from him to buy a house. After topping up the credits, Yen Zhengjin excitedly kept pressing five buttons repeatedly. Watching the betting credits shoot up, his nerves werepletely electrified. This thing was even more thrilling than a woman. ... After leaving home, Fang Zhiyay in her bedroom, continually thinking about what had happened that day. It was so embarrassing; she had never imagined in her life. She would wear high heels, a miniskirt, and a low-cut top, and now she even had on ck stockings, and all this because she met Li Zhiyan. Thinking about it made Fang Zhiya blush unbearably. Touching the texture of the ck stockings on her legs, Fang Zhiya began to understand why Li Zhiyan liked this stuff so much. The feeling of ck stockings really was somewhat better than flesh-colored or white ones. Smelling Li Zhiyan''s scent on the pillow, Fang Zhiya slept peacefully and happily. ... As Li Zhiyan walked down the street, he mulled over how he would have a bnce of 360,000 yuan after finishing the night''s tasks. If the subsequent system tasks were rewarded with even higher amounts... Then his three million target could be reached very quickly. Passing by the school gate, Li Zhiyan saw Zhang Honglei chatting with Yin Qiang, surrounded by a few students d in name brands. As he passed by the group, Li Zhiyan happened to overhear Zhang Honglei boasting. "My mom is a manager at thepany, usually going to work in an Audi A6." "My dad is working abroad now." A few students from wealthy families nodded in admiration. That was the only way they could hang out with him. Although boasting felt great, Zhang Honglei always felt uneasy at heart. Not far away was Yin Qiang''s BMW 3 Series, along with the cars of other students. Although the others'' cars were not as expensive as Yin Qiang''s, worth several hundred thousand, they still had their own cars during their school days. Thinking about it made Zhang Honglei feel a surge of resentment; why wasn''t he a rich second generation? If he were, he could be living the same life as Yin Qiang and the others right now. Chapter 235: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_3 Li Zhiyan didn''t speak, he knew that Wu Auntie, who had fed him since childhood, was just an ordinary white-cor worker like his mom. Her monthly sry was only about four thousand yuan, and she would scrimp and save, all to eventually buy a house for Zhang Honglei. But to his surprise, he turned out to be so vain, saying that Wu Auntie drove an Audi A6 to work. If Wu Auntie heard this, she would definitely be very heartbroken. vanity, it''s truly a deadly thing. However, Li Zhiyan knew that vanity without real strength was worthless, only when you have enough strength can you talk about face. Otherwise, it''s always a joke. "Zhang Honglei, when are you going to buy a car?" "Always hitching a ride with us is no fun. If each of the four of us had our own car to hit up the bars and pick up girls, how cool would that be." Zhang Honglei was quick to respond. "My mom doesn''t trust me to drive alone, so she hasn''t bought me one yet." "I''m hard at work persuading my mom." "Eventually, she''ll have to get me that Audi A4, or else during the winter holiday I''ll go abroad to find my dad, and by then I could even get a Mercedes." Yin Qiang patted his shoulder. "Alright." "Let''s not worry about the car for now." "Nike has a new release, how about we each get thetest model of sneakers, the pair that costs 3888? Brother style." "No problem, right?" The other two were very straightforward. But Zhang Honglei was hemming and hawing, his monthly allowance was just 1200 yuan; asking his mom for four thousand was too difficult. "Zhang Honglei, your family is so rich, surely you can afford a pair of sneakers." Zhang Honglei was always decked out in designer brands and spent generously. So, his friends also believed he was a true rich second-generation, which was why they included him in their activities. "Alright, let''s buy them." "If the brothers are buying, of course I am too." He decided to concoct a scheme to deceive his mom; buying designer brands was a must. Otherwise, his rich second-generation persona wouldn''t hold up. Li Zhiyan didn''t speak. As for Zhang Honglei, who acted as Yin Qiang''sckey in the dorm and wanted to beat him up, Li truly had not a shred of fondness. And Zhang Honglei also noticed Li Zhiyan, who seemed to have overheard every word he said. This made him feel a bit panicky; his mom often talked to him about Li Zhiyan, so his family''s circumstances were certainly known to Li... Would Li Zhiyan expose him? Yin Qiang also took notice of Li Zhiyan. "Li Zhiyan, your disciplinary notice is already on its way." "Are you ready?" Li Zhiyan hadn''t expected that Yin Xueyang would stoop so low, to trouble him like this for the sake of her son. Issuing him a disciplinary action, no matter the pretext, was absolutely despicable. This woman with the startling curves really needed to be put in her ce. But he didn''t care, after all, his current perspective wasn''t that of the university student from his past life. If it had been back then, his heart would probably feel like the sky was falling. He nced at Yin Qiang, toozy to engage him. Even if there was animosity, it would be with Yin Xueyang. As for Yin Qiang, he was just a thoughtless rich second-generation. Li Zhiyan''s gaze made Yin Qiang back down, respectfully giving way. When it came to a fight, he felt even if all four of them teamed up, they would be no match for Li Zhiyan, a tough guy who even floored the instructor. Better to use his mom''s power to deal with him. Zhang Honglei, meanwhile, let out a sigh of relief. Why did he have to say those things right when Li Zhiyan was listening? Fortunately, he did not bust him, otherwise, he really wouldn''t be able to mix in this circle anymore. ... Arriving at the school, Li Zhiyan messaged Su Mengchen. "Feel like taking a walk?" From the time they were able to meet, seeing Su Mengchen had be much easier. Li Zhiyan understood Chenchen all too well, her defenses were gradually being lowered. "Okay..." In the dormitory, Su Mengchen''s face blushed again, remembering thest time they held hands, she still felt her heart racing. So that''s what it feels like to hold hands with a boy. If possible, she wished she could hold hands with Li Zhiyan forever. "Chenchen, why are you blushing again? Did Li Zhiyan ask you out again?" The roommate sitting beside her said with envy. "Yeah..." "Really? Then you must seize the opportunity." Everyone felt that Li Zhiyan must truly like Su Mengchen, otherwise with his status he could easily pick any other beautiful girl from the school. ... Step by step, as she approached the dormitory entrance, Su Mengchen walked slowly, wanting to show Li Zhiyan how nice she looked while walking. Li Zhiyan understood Su Mengchen''s mindset very well and didn''t rush her. Instead, he quietly watched here toward him. "Chenchen, let''s go." "Okay..." Su Mengchen''s voice was still barely audible, and the two of them walked slowly through the campus, it being a Saturday... Most students were out having fun or working part-time. So, there weren''t many people around on campus, and when they reached a deserted area. Li Zhiyan once again took Su Mengchen''s hand. "Chenchen." In that moment, he felt her tense up again. But she did not resist holding hands with him. After a while, Su Mengchen spoke up, "Li Zhiyan..." Chapter 236: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_4 After Su Mengchen called out her name, Li Zhiyan truly felt an immense surprise in his heart. He didn''t expect Chenchen to start talking, and it seemed like she wanted to have a conversation with him. He stopped and looked at Su Mengchen with encouraging eyes, hoping she could speak the words she desired to say. As long as she could have a proper conversation with him. Then it would mean that the day of her full recovery wasn''t far away. "Chenchen." "Take your time, slowly." Lowering her head, Su Mengchen said with a hint of anguish in her voice, "Everyone calls me a useless cripple." "Boys keep their distance from me, won''t you despise me?" "Plus, I heard that quite a few girls at school like you." Indeed, after bing a male idol, Li Zhiyan''s charm had greatly increased, and the female university students were generally superficial; unlike Aunties who would appreciate his talents. They only noticed his handsome face, not understanding what talent really was. "If the two of us were to date, wouldn''t you feel ashamed when going out?" "With my leg having this issue..." The more she spoke, the sadder Su Mengchen''s heart grew... Since she was young, her legs had brought her too much pain. "Let''s sit down first." Li Zhiyan took Su Mengchen by the hand, found a ce to sit down, and then gently looked at her slender and fair beautiful legs. "Actually, everyone has their ws; nobody is born perfect." Having been reborn and used to ying the role of a child in front of the Aunties, Li Zhiyan felt a faint paternal instinct rise within him, but for the sake of healing Chenchen''s heart, it was a role he had to y. After all, what he needed to do now was to pull Su Mengchen out of her abyss. "Perhaps there are a few people who are born with everything perfect, but those are just rare exceptions." "The majority, we are just one among the countless others." "There''s no need to be troubled over your legs; those who mock you are just an insignificant part of your life." "To be sad and down-hearted for people who don''t care about hurting you, isn''t that just giving them more reason tough at you?" What Li Zhiyan said made a lot of sense to Su Mengchen, and her mood lifted somewhat. "Moreover, those who call you a cripple are actually just jealous of you." "You have inherited Aunt Shen''s beautypletely, surpassing those ordinary girls by several notches." Li Zhiyan didn''t lie at all. In terms of looks and figure, Su Mengchen was top-notch. It was just that congenital defect that led to nobody courting her. "You''re so pretty, they can''tpete with you, and their only advantage is being able-bodied." "So they use the term ''cripple'' to attack you." "In actuality, it''s just jealousy." Li Zhiyan held Su Mengchen''s jade-like hand and continued, "And actually, your legs are very white and long." "With such beautiful legs, why feel inferior?" "You need to walk out from this state." "Once we start dating," "everything will get better. Those girls who attack you will only be able to be jealous because they can''t find a boyfriend as handsome as me." Ever since he became a male god, when it came to talking about good looks, Li Zhiyan has be utterly confident. "I understand..." Su Mengchen slowly lifted her head, and it seemed like a bit of light had appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Give me some time to process..." "Li Zhiyan..." After making eye contact with Li Zhiyan, the next sentence about waiting a while to be his girlfriend, she still couldn''t bring herself to say it. For the shy Su Mengchen, such words were still too difficult to utter. "It''s okay, Chenchen, just tell me when you want to talk, I''ll always be waiting for you." Li Zhiyan''s heart was somewhat excited; he hadn''t expected things to progress so quickly with Chenchen. It seemed that the mother-inw''s assistance was indeed very effective. He would definitely treat the mother-inw with 20 times the filial piety in the future. "Alright..." Lowering her head and not daring to look at Li Zhiyan, Su Mengchen''s girlishness seemed to surpass even Su Mengyue''s. Li Zhiyan really wanted to hug his Chenchen, but in the end, he didn''t make a move. He knew he couldn''t rush things with Chenchen, after all, she wasn''t a normal girl. As someone with a tendency towards being withdrawn, she took much longer to process information than the average girl. After walking around the school holding hands with Su Mengchen for half an hour, he finally escorted her back to her dormitory entrance. "Li Zhiyan, I... I''m going back now." Lowering her head, Su Mengchen finally mustered the courage to lift it. "Okay, Chenchen, let''s chat on QQ tonight." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan had just reached the school gate when he received a message from Su Mengchen. She took the initiative to share with him the events that urred in her dormitory. This delighted Li Zhiyan; it seemed that Chenchen had indeed lowered her defenses quite a bit. Chatting with Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan arrived at his milk tea shop, made a cup of Mango Pomelo Sago, and continued chatting. At the same time, he also started chatting with Gu Wanzhou. As it was approaching nine o''clock, seeing that the mission node was almost fully loaded, Li Zhiyan took an iced sour plum drink to Jiang Xian''s clothing store, by which time it was getting quitete. At past nine, for a decade-old Wancheng, there were hardly any people around. And Jiang Xian was also nning to close up shop. "Auntie Jiang, your voice seems in good shape." Jiang Xian hummed in response. Chapter 237: 111 Cabin, a breakthrough for a disheartened Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan_5 ``` "If we can maintain the current business, we could earn a profit of twenty thousand yuan a month in the future." "You''re absolutely right, the key to selling clothes is the style." Li Zhiyan handed the chilled sour plum drink to Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang, you drink first." As he spoke, he lowered the shutter door. The moment the shutter came down, Jiang Xian felt Li Zhiyan hade to join her for some snacks. After all, that day Li Zhiyan hade for midnight snacks many times. Even so, he still felt it wasn''t enough. However, to her surprise, Li Zhiyan just looked at her and said, "Auntie Jiang, although it''s a bit cruel, I still have to tell you." Jiang Xian had a bad feeling, could it be about her son? "Xiao Yan, go ahead." "It''s Yen Lei, I saw him preparing red paint, likely nning to ssh it on your shop." "Today, while I wasn''t on the street, I heard him talking on the phone with Yen Zhengjin. Yen Zhengjin said if you agreed to remarry him, he would reward Yen Lei with fifty thousand yuan." "It''s probably because of this that he came to find you before." "Once the red paint is sshed, it''s simply impossible to clean off." "And it will emit a very unpleasant smell; for a long time toe, the shop is unlikely to do any business." Yen Lei, truly born bad to the core, Li Zhiyan hadn''t thought he would stoop so low against his own mother, sshing red paint, which looks like blood - definitely enough to frighten a woman. "Really...?" The sour plum drink in Jiang Xian''s hand almost slipped; her son. To think he would do such a thing. Last time he came to smash her shop was already too much, and now he even thought about sshing red paint on it. Upon thinking, Jiang Xian''s heart couldn''t help but be overwhelmed with grief. Is this the good son she had raised from a child? How ridiculous. "Auntie Jiang, let''s hide outside the shop. If Yen Leies, we can catch him in the act." Only ten or so minutes remained before the mission''s execution time. Li Zhiyan knew they would definitely be able to wait it out. "Okay..." "Auntie will go out with you." After following Li Zhiyan outside, Jiang Xian pulled down the shutter door. Since most college dorms have curfews, there weren''t many people left on the street now. After Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan hid in the alley next door, they waited quietly for Yen Lei to arrive. In her heart, Jiang Xian prayed that her son wouldn''te. If he really did the act of sshing paint, she would no longer have a son in her heart. What he had done before was already heartbreaking enough. "Auntie Jiang." "If hees, what will you do?" "Then I''ll pretend I never had this son." Before long, Yen Lei indeed came carrying a bucket. Weak from only knowing how to y games, he tottered under the weight of the paint bucket, struggling with every step. "He really came..." At this moment, Jiang Xian''s heart sunk to the bottom. Upon reaching the shop''s entrance, Yen Lei''s eyes filled with the desire for fifty thousand yuan; he opened the lid and a pungent smell wafted out. This confirmed for Jiang Xian that it was indeed the smell of low-quality red paint. Her son had such a malicious heart, never caring that she was his own mother, never caring about her. At this moment, Jiang Xian''s heart died. "What are you doing!" Just as Yen Lei was about to ssh the paint, he suddenly heard Li Zhiyan''s shout, startling him. The next second, Li Zhiyan''s foot kicked him, and Yen Lei was sent flying. Too scared to care, he ran off. He deeply hated Li Zhiyan, who always spoiled his ns. If it weren''t for him, the shop would have been ruined tonight! ... After cleaning up the paint and returning indoors with Jiang Xian, they lowered the shutter door again. Li Zhiyan took off his T-shirt and washed his hands. Only then was the smell of paint gone. "Auntie Jiang..." "Don''t be sad. You must have been prepared for his behavior." Jiang Xian indeed had been prepared, so she didn''t cry on the spot, but her heart still harbored some hope, which now was filled with disappointment. Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Jiang Xian took the initiative and kissed him. Their kiss continued from outside all the way into the little house. Afterward, Jiang Xian fed Li Zhiyan snacks. Some timeter, Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian''s hand, said, "Auntie Jiang, will you help me, please?" He gently kissed the palm of her hand. He knew that a mature woman like Auntie Jiang would understand his meaning. Their rtionship had reached a point of transformation. ``` Chapter 238: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian''s jade hand, Auntie Jiang''s hand was really smooth and soft, as if boneless. He gently kissed Jiang Xian''s hand again. Li Zhiyan whispered, "Auntie Jiang, is it good?" Jiang Xian''s face grew redder and redder, this kid always had some ideas. But this time, it wasn''t like the previous kisses. "The doctor said that a young man who always holds back is prone to get sick." Li Zhiyan embraced Jiang Xian and then gently kissed her lips. Jiang Xian instinctively responded, by now she had gotten used to kissing Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Jiang, is it good..." After a long while, Jiang Xian gently wiped a curve at the corner of her mouth. "Good..." "However, Auntie is doing this for your health, don''t overthink it." "Understand?" At the moment Jiang Xian agreed, Li Zhiyan felt his hormones rushing rapidly. He then kissed Jiang Xian again. "Auntie Jiang, you''re so kind..." "Mm... Xiao Yan, we agreed, just this once." ... After a long while, Li Zhiyan walked out of the clothing store. The roller shutter was pulled down again. ncing at thete hour, Li Zhiyan hailed a cab home... At this moment, he felt incredibly pleased within, but thinking back to the recent incident, a mature woman indeed has experience. He had never dared to imagine seeing Auntie Jiang in such a light before. The other side of Auntie Jiang, with rosy cheeks full of mature feminine charm and allure. It truly set the blood racing. On the way, Li Zhiyan remembered what Yin Qiang had said about the punishment. Clearly, Yin Xueyang intended to make a move against him, and Li Zhiyan felt that this woman''s name had a certain significance. Daring to target him, then as a spirited person, he must truly turn the tables on the antagonist. Make her unable to bully anyone else. At eleven o''clock, Li Zhiyan arrived home. Just as he got home, he saw Zhou Rongrong was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him. "Son, you''re back." "Mom, you haven''t gone to bed sote?" He gently hugged his mother and then Li Zhiyan went to take a shower. With her son back home, Zhou Rongrong felt relieved and went to sleep in the master bedroom. Just as shey down, she remembered, had she not smelled a woman''s fragrance just now? That scent wasn''t hers. Could it be that her son had embraced some woman? Could it be Su Mengchen... Thinking it over, Zhou Rongrong''s heart felt a bit sour. Her son had finally grown up, be a real man. He was dating, although a girl with a disability wasn''t ideal. However, in Zhou Rongrong''s heart, it was always better than her son bringing home a woman in her forties to call her mom. Back when Li Zhiyan asked her if she could ept a rtionship with an age difference of over twenty years, although she loved her son dearly in her heart, she was still inevitably startled, as any mother might find it difficult to ept. But her heart was more amodating. ... After taking a shower, Li Zhiyany in his bedroom, turning on the night light. Even though he had just been busy for a while, his spirits were high. One reason was that he was only 18 years old now. The other reason was due to the title he had received from the system, which really endowed him with boundless energy. "In the future, I can visit Auntie Jiang during the lunch break..." Thinking about it, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble sense of anticipation. After all, Auntie Jiang''s small room was very cozy. He checked the reward of one hundred thousand yuan that had just been credited to his ount. Now Li Zhiyan''s savings had returned to 360,000 yuan, no longer needing to do tasks for mere tens of thousands, his earnings had significantly increased. "New mission released." "Because the coordinator will identally twist her foot at home tomorrow evening." "As a good neighbor, please go help Han Xueying with a massage." "Mission reward, forty thousand yuan in cash." Li Zhiyan was taken aback, was this to make his savings an even number? A savings of four hundred thousand was nice, and just a simple massage could earn forty thousand yuan, so he certainly had to undertake this task. Thinking it over, Li Zhiyan was filled with expectation. This time, the system was clearly a lot more generous. It issued another task with a reward of one hundred thousand yuan. "Because Yen Zhengjin lost fifty thousand yuan again at the arcade." "Thus, his mood was very foul, and not long after, he won three hundred thousand yuan on a gambling website." "Wholly consumed by greed, he kept going all in." "Ultimately, he lost four hundred thousand." "In his agony, he got blind drunk." "He started to make harassing phone calls and even went to threaten Jiang Xian at her shop." "Please intervene." "Mission reward, one hundred thousand yuan in cash." Looking at the mission reward, Li Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, Jiang Xian just couldn''t sleep at all. She gently smelled the scent on her hand and at the tip of her nose. Jiang Xian kept reflecting on what had happened before. She really was a shameless woman to have gotten so close to an 18-year-old boy. And she was 41 years old. Before her divorce, she had even been his mother-inw, although now there was no rtionship between them. Just a man and a woman, not even pregnancy would be a concern. But... Jiang Xian''s heart still had a hurdle she couldn''t get over. She and Li Zhiyan after all had such a big age difference, yet she had been with him... Chapter 239: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_2 After a while, Jiang Xian turned on the orangemp. Then she opened up the collection of stories, savoring the tales within. "What will happen to Xiao Yan and me..." Jiang Xian''s pair of snow-white beautiful legs curled together, as she continuously thought about Li Zhiyan''s appearance. This child, truly, could never be absent from her life. Her rtionship with him had already developed to this point, so could things stille to a stop? Meanwhile, Su Mengchen was also awake, although she usually went to sleep around nine o''clock. But today, Li Zhiyan''s words echoed non-stop in her head... Do her legs really look so good? For years, what she loathed most in her heart was her slightlyme leg. "If I dated Li Zhiyan, would he really not mind it?" Su Mengchen''s inferiorityplex was deeply rooted and not something that could be dispelled momentarily. However, she truly had started to like Li Zhiyan. But for her to suddenly be together with Li Zhiyan, she still found it somewhat difficult. Her eptance of things was always incredibly slow. ... That night, many people did not sleep. Yin Qiang''s mother, Yin Xueyang, was one of those who stayed awake. Li Zhiyan always felt her ID meant something. At the moment, she was dwelling on her son being bullied, and the punishment for Li Zhiyan was already issued. Now, she was just waiting for the school''s notification. For Yin Xueyang, her son was the mainstay of her life. Thus, she indulged him even when he went too far in school. Thinking of Li Zhiyan, her heart still held some hatred that made her teeth itch, and it was deep into the night when suddenly Yin Xueyang noticed a smell. It was an ident; she had wet her pants once again. For a long time, Yin Xueyang had an embarrassing ailment¡ªwhen emotionally agitated, she''d suffer from incontinence. She tried many hospitals, to no avail. Fortunately, this was in her own bedroom. After changing into a new set of clothes, she wished there was a miracle-working Hua Tuo alive who could cure her condition, as being a patient suffering from this was truly unbearable. "Is there such a skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in the world who can cure difficult andplicated diseases?" Yin Xueyang looked at her three fingers and thought, then she also slowlyy down to rest. It was time to rx, she had business matters to attend to tomorrow. ... At this moment, Zhou Rongrong''s best friend, Wu Qingxian, was squatting in her room, taking a bath. The apartment she rented was one of those old residential buildings. There was no water heater in the room; she normally used a kettle to boil water. Then poured the water into a basin... Bathing with a towel, which was very inconvenient, although such a difficult life still held hope for her... Her son was already in his second year of college, and in two more years, he could graduate and find a job to support her. By now, she had also saved nearly three hundred thousand yuan for him. She nned to find a ce to make a down payment soon, preparing for Zhang Honglei''s future wedding house. Wu Qingxian earned a low ie, and the nearly three hundred thousand yuan of savings were umted over the years after barely covering living expenses. After the bath, she approached the worn out wardrobe. Looking at the few old cheongsams inside, she picked one to wear. Even though the clothing was old, it still perfectly entuated her figure and fair skin. Just out of the bath, she looked exceptionally attractive with the charm of a gorgeous mature woman. Just then, a knock at the door sounded. Wu Qingxian felt a surge of excitement¡ªcould it be her son hade home? Normally, even on Sundays, Zhang Honglei was unwilling toe home. What was different about today that he had taken the initiative to visit? Could it be that he missed her? It seemed that her son indeed cared about his mother deep down. After opening the door... Indeed, the son she had missed stood before her eyes. "Son, you''ve lost weight. Is the food in the school not good?" "Otherwise, from now on, you could juste home to eat." Zhang Honglei didn''t speak. Wu Qingxian worked in this area just for his well-being and rented an apartment. Normally, it would be an incredibly touching gesture. But Zhang Honglei wasn''t moved. If he ate at home, then his monthly living allowance would drop from over a thousand yuan to just four hundred. What could he do with four hundred yuan of spending money? Therefore, Zhang Honglei adamantly stayed away from home. "Mom, I want to buy a pair of shoes. Give me money." Hearing her son ask for money, Wu Qingxian''s eyes filled with distress. Asking for money for education or to do something worthwhile would definitely receive her approval. After all, she would do anything for her son''s well-being. But he always wanted money for clothes, easily costing four or five hundred a piece, which was unbearable on a monthly sry of a bit more than four thousand. She had no other support. Neither did she have an exceptional son like Zhou Rongrong, and hoping for her son to marry and have children seemed like an incredibly difficult task. "How much?" Although it pained her, this was her only son. If it was for a pair of shoes costing a few hundred... Chapter 240: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_3 Here is the tranted text: ``` Then, he could also give that to her. "Five thousand." Zhang Honglei had originally wanted four thousand yuan, but after remembering that his mom had once mentioned the family had three hundred thousand yuan in savings, he decided to ask for five thousand yuan. The extra thousand would let him buy some branded shirts or something. Thinking about it made his heart uncontrobly excited. "Five thousand!" Wu Qingxian couldn''t trust what she had heard. Five thousand yuan, so much money that her monthly sry wasn''t enough... How could it be possible to use it to buy a pair of shoes? "No, Mom can''t agree to this. I''ve told you before, you should y less with those wealthy ssmates of yours. Their families are all in business." "Mom is just an ordinary office worker, I can''t afford such expenses." "Don''t you know how long four thousand yuan can support the two of us?" "And we haven''t bought a house yet, we need to look for one during this time." "We can''t waste money like this now." "You are my everything, but we can''t spend money like this." Zhang Honglei didn''t speak. He hadn''t listened to a single word of his mom''s earnest advice. All he could think about was getting the money so he could buy thetest Nike sneakers and make his ssmates envy him. If possible, he even wanted his mom to buy him a BMW 3 Series. But he knew that this request was unlikely to be fulfilled. If he had the chance, he might as well mention it. "If you don''t want to give it, then don''t. What''s with all the nonsense." He turned and left, and while Wu Qingxian, in her slippers, wanted to catch up and properly educate her son, what she faced instead was the sound of the iron door being mmed shut as Zhang Honglei swiftly left down the stairs. It waste, and it wasn''t safe outside. Even though she was already 40 years old, Wu Qingxian had always had admirers, and she knew it wasn''t safe for her to go out. She returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, starting to call Zhang Honglei to have a good talk. But at that moment, Zhang Honglei wasn''t answering the phone... All he could think about was getting five thousand yuan from Wu Qingxian to meet his needs for fitting into the social circle. As for other things, they didn''t matter at all. After a while, Wu Qingxian began to text Zhang Honglei. But when Zhang Honglei saw those tender words, he simply hit the delete key. Unless she gave him five thousand yuan to buy the shoes, he wouldn''t talk to her. ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan had washed up, he smelled the delicious aromaing from the kitchen. Thinking of his mom going to work soon, Li Zhiyan''s heart was filled with reluctance. It would''ve been nice to stay by mom''s side all the time. "Mom, I really hope you could stop working and just stay home with me." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s words, Zhou Rongrong, who was putting a fried egg in front of him, also gently smiled and said, "You''re 18 now, should be looking for a girlfriend, not being shy." "Who else would want their mom to apany them every day at this age." "If Wu Auntie heard this, she''d make fun of you for being a mama''s boy again." Li Zhiyan didn''t mind at all. "I don''t care if I''m called a mama''s boy, I like being one. Mom, please consider it, don''t work from now on." Zhou Rongrong, after bringing another fried egg over, sat down to eat with Li Zhiyan. "When your inte caf¨¦ and milk tea shop are stable, Mom will stay with you, okay son?" Actually, Zhou Rongrong also wanted to be with her son every day. After all, he was the only blood and rtive she had in this world, how could she not love her son. For her son, she was willing to do anything. "I understand, Mom." "I''ll wait for you toe back and cook dinner tonight." "Okay." After breakfast, Li Zhiyan walked his mom to the downstairs of their apartmentplex, and only after watching Zhou Rongrong ride her electric bicycle to work did he reluctantly take a taxi to Brotherhood Inte Cafe. Only having lost once did he realize how precious this selfless affection in the world was. His mom was definitely the person who loved him the most in this world, iparably. After arriving at Brotherhood Inte Cafe, Li Zhiyan was still thinking about the counselor''s task. The reward of forty thousand yuan was not a lot, but just for helping the counselor ease his pain to get forty thousand yuan was just like picking it up for free, Li Zhiyan was looking forward to it. "Brother Yan, you''re here, log in." This heavily addicted inte junkie only had one thing to say to him every time he saw him: "log in." Li Zhiyan had long been used to this... "Okay, let''s have a good couple of games today." "I''ll leave around four in the afternoon." Li Shiyu''s eyes were full of envy. He was very clear that his best friend had be a male god, and so wealthy; his life must be colorful. It definitely didn''tck beauties. "Brother Yan, did any of your college ssmates offend you?" As Li Zhiyan logged in, Li Shiyu asked. "There should be, I guess." Li Shiyu said thoughtfully, "Anyone who offends you should first check if their mom is pretty." "Being your enemy, having a mom is a fatal weakness." Li Zhiyan: "..." His best friend was increasingly bold... Since returning, the talkative boldest person he had met was Li Meifeng. And another bold in temperament was Yin Xueyang. ``` Chapter 241: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_4 ``` "Fine, let''s y some games," she said. "I thought you enjoyed reporting people. Today, I''ll let you have your fun." ... It was after nine o''clock. Yin Xueyang, dressed in silk stockings and a short skirt, had prepared breakfast in the kitchen. She still had to deal with some business socializingter on. At this moment, Yin Qiang walked in. "Son,e have some breakfast," he said. Yin Qiang asked, "Mom, how''s the handling of Li Zhiyan going? Just thinking about him makes my teeth itch with hatred." If it wasn''t for Li Zhiyan showing up, Su Mengchen would be mine by now. Although I would definitely never marry her. But her D-cup breasts, her fair, shapely legs, and her stunning looks... Would absolutely astound me. But because of Li Zhiyan''s interference, all my ns are now ruined. Now, I can''t even be friends with Su Mengchen anymore. "Don''t worry. The disciplinary action will be issued tomorrow. He''ll receive a major demerit." Chapter Experience: "If he doesn''te to apologize to my son, there''s no way he''d be able to graduate." Yin Xueyang had full confidence in dealing with an ordinary kid like Li Zhiyan who had no connections. He''ll surelye begging to let him off the hook. "Okay, thanks, Mom. I''ll skip breakfast." "I''ve got stuff to do." Grabbing the keys to his BMW, Yin Qiang left the house. He was going to buy those Nike sneakers, and there was also a sophomore girl, average-looking but flirtatious, who had thrown herself at him. Yin Qiang was very interested in women like that. "Alright." After her son left, Yin Xueyang received a call from her best friend. "Hey, have you set off yet?" "I''m eating right now, I''ll be there soon." "Yin, you big beauty, I got my little boyfriend totally under controlst night." "There''s nothing to it, just good with my waist." "You''re so pretty." "When are you going to add a little brother or sister for your family''s Yin Qiang?" Listening to her friend''s bragging, Yin Xueyang was not to be outdone. "What''s the big deal about that? You think you can outdo me in waist strength? I can do seven or eight half-squats in one second. You didn''t know how good I was at the gym." The other end of the phone went silent. This woman was indeed formidable when working out in the gym. "Alright, I get it, Yin, you big beauty. Hurry up, we''re waiting for you." ... While ying games, Li Zhiyan was also chatting with Su Mengchen and the aunties through the chat window. This made Li Shiyu beside him green with envy. Brother Yan''s way with women is seriously unbeatable. They yed until past three in the afternoon before Li Zhiyan exited the chat. "I''m heading out now." "You keep ying." "Okay." Li Shiyu knew his close friend was no ordinary guy. He had even opened a bubble tea shop at university¡ªmaybe he was handling other businesses, or even moonlighting as a range hood repairman, or a courier unclogging drains. He couldn''t just think about ying games all day like himself. After saying goodbye to his pal, Li Zhiyan checked the time and took a cab back to Left Bank Home. Just as he arrived at the entrance of Left Bank Home, he happened to run into Han Xueying, who was returning from grocery shopping in her professional attire. "Aunt Han." "Xiao Yan." Looking at Li Zhiyan, Han Xueying felt a little conflicted. The kid was really outstanding. Just his preference for mature women wasn''t good; it''s unhealthy for his psyche. What kind of woman in her forties would like an 18-year-old kid? Certainly not her. "Aunt Han, you had your hair permed." Today, Han Xueying''s hair was freshly permed, which made her appear even more coquettish. "Mhm, I just had it done today." Han Xueying was very pleased with her hairstyle. "It looks great." Looking at the counselor''s pair of flesh-toned stockings and beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan admired her with a 20% increase in respect. The counselor was truly a respectable woman. If I have the chance, I should take good care of her. "Aunt Han, I''m thinking of asking for a few days off soon. Is that okay?" Because of the task from Yen Zhengjin, he needed Han Xueying''s approval to take time off during school hours. "No, Xiao Yan, even though you''re impressive..." At this point, Han Xueying couldn''t help but feel a spontaneous admiration. This kid was truly remarkable. Compared to him, her son was indeed far too inferior. Not even the rich kids could match up to him. "But a student''s main responsibility is to study. A teacher can''t just grant leave so carelessly." Li Zhiyan didn''t press further, knowing that he could apply for leave once hepleted the task. In the future, once he''d properly expressed his filial piety to Teacher Han, letting her feel his full devotion, then asking for leave wouldn''t be a problem at all. "I understand, Aunt Han." "Mhm, good boy." Han Xueying reached out her immacte hand and patted Li Zhiyan on the head. ... Back at home and loungingfortably on the couch, Li Zhiyan received an unexpected call. It was from his mother-inw, Shen Rongfei. "Mom." By now, Shen Rongfei had grown fully ustomed to Li Zhiyan calling her mom. She even felt an urge to call him son. But, after all, her daughter and Li Zhiyan weren''t officially together yet. It wouldn''t be proper to call him son. A kid like him can fool around, but not her. At over forty, she couldn''t join in his antics. ``` Chapter 242: 112 Crossing the line, Jiang Xians charming blush_5 "Xiao Yan." "Chenchen and Aunt have been on the phone." "We talked about a lot of things, Aunt feels that Chenchen has really changed a lot..." "Xiao Yan, I really can''t thank you enough." In Shen Rongfei''s heart, she truly felt an immense sense of gratitude toward Li Zhiyan. The appearance of this young man had brought a beam of light into her daughter''s life, and now she could clearly feel her daughter starting to emerge from her previous tendency toward introversion. If one day her daughter could be a normal girl, how happy she would be. "Mom, I genuinely like Chenchen, and I will definitely try my best to help here out of her shell." "I''ll also be very filial to you in the future." Li Zhiyan said earnestly. On the other end of the phone, Shen Rongfei couldn''t help but feel deeply moved. This child was truly too good... "Alright, Xiao Yan, Aunt will do her best to help you in the future." ... Time flew by, and by evening, Han Xueying also got up from her bedroom bed. nning to make dinner. Just as she stepped outside, the distant setting sun cast a pale yellow light. This made Han Xueying feel a wave of inexplicable loss and sadness. After her husband''s death and her son going off to study at the Magic Capital University, she was now alone in this home. Normally, if it wasn''t Sunday, she didn''t even want toe home, because everything here made her feel pain. Just upon entering the kitchen, not noticing a fallen corn cob, she stepped on it. Sitting on the ground with a sprained ankle, she let out a pained cry. In her agony, her voice soundedpletely different from usual, very much like Yang Mi''s tone, exceptionally coquettish. Looking down, her ankle was noticeably swollen, clearly, this sprain was no minor injury; it was very serious. She tried to stand up, but even a slight movement of the ankle made her forehead break out in cold sweat from the pain. For a moment, Han Xueying sat there, not daring to move. Her sweet face was now filled with pain. Subconsciously, she dialed her husband''s number on her phone. The sound of the disconnected tone reminded her, her husband had been dead for a long time. And her son was now in the Magic Capital; a train ride to return would take over ten hours. It simply wasn''t possible for him to help her. She felt like she was crying for help, but heaven was not responding. Despair gradually filled her heart, and Han Xueying lowered her head, closing her eyes as waves of pain from her ankle kept assaulting her. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. "Aunt Han, are you home?" "I am..." Han Xueying never expected that Li Zhiyan woulde at this moment. In her despair, she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope; at least Li Zhiyan could take her to the hospital. Li Zhiyan was also taken aback... Why did Aunt Han sound so coquettish in her agony? He almost thought it was Yang Mi inside. If... Li Zhiyan''s hormones began to stir slowly. Chapter Experience: "I can hear something is wrong in your voice! What happened?" "Xiao Yan, Aunt twisted her ankle,e in using the passcode, the code is 33456741." Following Han Xueying''s instructions, Li Zhiyan unlocked the door and entered. In her state of agony, Han Xueying''s voice waspletely different from usual, sounding especially as if she were acting coquettish with Li Zhiyan. Upon entering, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but feel heartache. Aunt Han''s forehead was covered in beads of sweat, clearly in a lot of difort. In his past life, she had been so kind to him, spending so much time consoling him after his mother''s idental death. He couldn''t just watch her suffer. He quickly shut the door behind him and asked with concern, "Aunt Han, did you twist your ankle?" "Yes... it hurts a lot." The vulnerable Han Xueying''s way of speaking to Li Zhiyan became more and more like acting coquettishly. Her coquettish voice made Li Zhiyan feel a twinge of heartache. "The floor is cold, Aunt Han, let me carry you to the sofa first." Previously, when he tried to hold Aunt Han''s hand, she had dodged away, but now he could hold her in his arms. Han Xueying knew it was not a time for her to be stubborn. So, as Li Zhiyan''s hands passed under her beautiful legs and waist, She actively wrapped her arms around his neck to make it easier for him to pick her up. Aunt Han''s figure is really nice, that was Li Zhiyan''s thought. Even in her pain, Han Xueying was still shocked. Li Zhiyan really had a remarkable gift. Smelling the fragrance from Aunt Han''s body, Li Zhiyan carried her to the sofa and then gently lifted Han Xueying''s stockinged feet. "Xiao Yan, what are you doing, it hurts..." "Aunt Han, I have studied some traditional Chinese medicine, let me check on you." Li Zhiyan knew that as a practitioner of Chinese medicine, it was time for him to start healing and saving people; patient safety was the top priority. Chapter 263: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng Liu Zifeng''s heart was extremely tormented, his mother had always been a divine goddess in his heart, and he wouldn''t allow anyone to desecrate her. But this Li Meifeng always joked with his mother like that. Yet he couldn''t do anything about it, which infuriated Liu Zifeng deeply. Because he knew very well that Li Meifeng was his elder. If he dared to object, his mother would definitely scold him. In Liu Zifeng''s heart, there was quite a bit of fear of his own mother. "Nonsense, I''m not pregnant, where would the milke from?" Rao Shi Yun spoke quite liberally after all. Butpared to Li Meifeng, she was like a minor witch before a great wizard... And Li Meifeng, whenpared to Yin Xueyang, was simrly a minor witch before a great wizard. "That''s not necessarily true, I''ve seen it on the news." "Some people have it even if they aren''t pregnant." "You just need Xiao Yan to put in more effort, right?" Li Meifeng joked in such a way that Liu Zifeng couldn''t stand it anymore. He retreated to a corner to drink some red wine, today he didn''t expect Li Zhiyan toe, otherwise he wouldn''t havee here to find displeasure for himself. Drinking the wine, Liu Zifeng''s hatred for Li Zhiyan grew even more intense. Yu Sisi was the one he liked the most. But now Yu Sisi kept talking about Li Zhiyan, and Liu Zifeng could imagine, if Li Zhiyan was willing. Then Yu Sisi would definitely be very eager to go to a hotel with Li Zhiyan. The goddess he could only long for from afar was readily avable to Li Zhiyan. And Li Zhiyan, who used to be nothing more than a clown in his eyes. He had even arranged for a group to beat him up once. Now, such a clown had turned him into a real clown, how could this be! The key point was, he was also entangled with his own mother. In his heart, his mother was supposed to be pure and untouchable. Thinking about it, Liu Zifeng felt even worse. "Rao Shi Yun, why have you been hiding awaytely? Are you avoiding Li Zhiyan?" Rao Shi Yun shook her head. Actually, she missed Li Zhiyan very much in her heart. After all, this child held a special ce in her life. To her, he had already be an indispensable part of her life. But the things that happened between them, whenever she thought about them, she still felt shy. She even taught him how to kiss. She was already 42 years old, and he was only 18, and at that time she was nning to remarry her ex-husband. If her ex-husband found out. What would happen, she truly was a shameless woman. "Mypany is in the busy season right now, I really am too busy to get away. You know that, if it weren''t for your birthday today, I wouldn''t have made the special trip toe." Li Meifeng knew that Rao Shi Yun wasn''t lying. Rao Shi Yun was indeed very busy currently. "But you should spend more time with Li Zhiyan, you know very well how much that kid likes you." "Even if you don''t say feed him, you should see him often, any good rtionship will cool down if you don''t see each other for a long time." "And if you don''t want to feed him, there are plenty of others who would love to. You have no idea how popr this kid is." "It''s rare for such a handsome guy to like mature women, if you don''t seize the opportunity, sigh..." At this moment, Li Meifeng''s voice was filled with a hint of sighing. "What handsome guy." "Who would want to feed him?" Rao Shi Yun''s curiosity was piqued, what nonsense was this woman talking about? "Don''t you know, Li Zhiyan grew taller and became more handsome during military training; he''s like the man of my dreams." "I used to think this kid was good in every aspect, but just too average in height and looks." "But now, he''s really too handsome; if only he were my son." Li Meifeng''s words werepletely heartfelt. A dream man like Li Zhiyan was what any mature woman would desire to possess. "Be handsome?" Rao Shi Yun was a bit skeptical in her heart, how handsome could he have gotten? Just a military training session, and in total it''s only been about a month, could he still grow at 18 years of age? Rao Shi Yun''s heart was filled with endless questions. "Anyway, you definitely won''t believe your eyes when you see Li Zhiyan." "And there''s something else I need to tell you." "Wang Shangyan has opened a supermarket at Xiao Yan''s school, and they see each other all the time." "Their rtionship is really close!" "Hugging and kissing on the cheek all the time," "I suspect Wang Shangyan has already fed him, after all, she''s already divorced and now a single woman, she can do whatever she wants." "Maybe they''ve even been to a hotel together!" After Li Meifeng said this... Rao Shi Yun''s heart felt unbearably ufortable. Been to a hotel together, somehow her mind conjured up certain images without her consent. For a moment, her heart was filled with extreme distress... Had Xiao Yan really been to a hotel with Wang Shangyan? Lew Huan''s wife was a genuine beauty. Now divorced, even if she went to a hotel with Xiao Yan, She would certainly not have any psychological burden. Could they really have... Seeing Rao Shi Yun''s pained expression. Li Meifeng felt a dark satisfaction in her heart, pleased with sessfully stirring up trouble. After such a long time, she finally got to enjoy a bit of thrill! When Gu Wanzhou and Wang Shangyan both arrived, things would be even more interesting. "Meifeng, this is a gift for you." "Thank you, beautiful Rao!" Chapter 264: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng_2 ... On the ride home, Yu Sisi couldn''t stop thinking about the image of Li Zhiyan embracing her mother. That hug had been a perfect fit. It brought her back to the graduation party when Li Zhiyan had publicly confessed his feelings to her mother. A sense of crisis inexplicably surged in Yu Sisi''s heart. After getting to know Li Zhiyan better, Yu Sisi felt her affection for him growing by the day. The more he ignored her, the more she wanted to get close to him. Recently, she even harbored thoughts of confessing her love to him. If only Li Zhiyan would agree to be with her, it would absolutely be worth it to confess. But Li Zhiyan''s attitude left Yu Sisi with no confidence at all. Now, seeing how close he was with her mother, Yu Sisi couldn''t help but feel worried... However, after giving it some thought, she felt the likelihood of her mother and him being together was next to nothing. After all, there was a huge age difference of 23 years between them, a disparity that doomed some possibilities from the start. As long as she made an effort, there was definitely a chance. Up front, Gu Wanzhou also breathed a small sigh of relief. Thankfully, Li Zhiyan hadn''t called her Wanzhou in front of her daughter; otherwise, even she wouldn''t know how to exin it. She needed to spend more time with the child in the future to change her thinking. She couldn''t let her always see her as a woman, but rather as an elder to be respected. However, thinking about her recent coldness towards Li Zhiyan, Gu Wanzhou felt a twinge of guilt for not considering the child''s feelings while trying to handle the situation with indifference. She would have to make it up to her in the future. Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, was reminiscing about eating seafood with Auntie Jiang at the restaurant. That feeling was truly unforgettable. At the same time, the idea of buying a new phone crossed Li Zhiyan''s mind. Given the current state of things, knock-off phones were too slow, and he could afford a Samsung. The Samsung Gxy S had been on sale for seven months now; he should get one when he has the chance. Although he was quite used to his flip phone, it still wasn''t as convenient as a smartphone. Now that all of his roommates were using smartphones, he was the only one still using GPRS for the inte. ... Inside the school, Zhang Honglei, Yin Qiang, and two other rich second-generation kids stood together smoking cigarettes. Decked out in thetest Nike sneakers, Zhang Honglei was glowing with satisfaction. Ever since his mother brought him five thousand yuan to school, all his ssmates were convinced that he was a genuine rich second-gen kid. This feeling gave Zhang Honglei an indescribable thrill. He waspletely immersed in ying this role. "Zhang Honglei, I didn''t expect your family to be so rich; you even have a maid at home," Yin Qiang said with a hint of admiration in his voice, something his own family didn''t have. "The house is quite big, so we need a maid to clean and such," Zhang Honglei said, surrounded by a cloud of smoke, feeling undeniably cool. "You should hurry up and get a BMW, or an Audi, even a Mercedes-Benz C-ss would do. "Howfortable would it be when we all go out?" "I''m talking to my mom about it. I''ll definitely buy one," Zhang Honglei said, even believing himself to be a rich second-gen by now. "Hey, Brother Long, can I borrow your Audi A4 for the National Day holiday?" Although Wang Long was taken aback for a moment, he agreed. "Sure, my parents are taking me to Singapore for a holiday over National Day." "You can borrow it; that''s fine." Zhang Honglei seemed rich enough, so Wang Long wasn''t worried that he might damage the car. These things weren''t important; as long as one could afford to pay for damages, it was alright. At this moment, Zhang Honglei waspletely ecstatic. This National Day, he could go out and pick up girls in an Audi A4! This was the car he had always dreamt of. "Thanks, Brother Long," he said. Yin Qiang took out his Samsung phone to check the time. Turning to Zhang Honglei, he said, "Xiao Lei, your clothes and shoes are spot on, but if you''re hanging out with us all the time, you need to get a decent phone. "Like the new Samsung Gxy S; it''s really good. "Your current phone just doesn''t have any prestige. "Three thousand four hundred isn''t expensive; it''s no big deal for you." Zhang Honglei knew that the phones these guys owned were very valuable, which made him feel a touch of envy. Blinded by vanity, he readily agreed. "Fine, it''s just a phone for 3400, right? I''ll buy itter. "Let''s go sing at the KTV; my treat." After buying the sneakers, Zhang Honglei still had a considerable amount of money left, plus his saved-up living expenses, adding up to twenty-five hundred in savings. He was ready to splurge. "Sure, I''ll call a few girls," said Wang Long. Hearing that Wang Long was inviting girls, Zhang Honglei''s excitement peaked. Later, when ordering fruit tters and beer, he would have to show off a bit. The bill had to hit the standard of a thousand yuan. ... Meanwhile, Jiang Xian was getting restless in the hotel. At first, she was genuinely scared that Yen Zhengjin might do something crazy. But after thinking it over, she realized Li Zhiyan made a lot of sense. She knew some secrets about Yen Zhengjin that she could use against him if he dared toe after her again. She would report him. With that thought, she checked out of the room. Then she went to Wanda za specifically to buy pepper spray and a fruit knife for protection. Chapter 265: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng_3 Her heart was very determined; if Yen Zhengjin really dide back, she would definitely not let him get close to her. In such a busy district, he wouldn''t dare to mess around. In her bag were anti-wolf spray and a fruit knife, giving Jiang Xian a considerable sense of security. As she walked, her thoughts drifted to Li Zhiyan and the request he''d made; if she agreed to his request, would she have to do some more outrageous things with him in the future? After all, now that they were together, then preparation for pregnancy was necessary, right? Lost in thought, Jiang Xian''s pretty face involuntarily blushed. Before the divorce, she was his wife, after all. Even though now they were just an ordinary man and woman, the thought still made her feel incredibly shy. ... On the way, Yu Sisi kept chatting with Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan just casually responded. This was a matter of politeness, yet he and Yu Sisi had never really sparked any enthusiasm in their conversations. Reborn with the system''s thrilling life had dissipated many of the resentments in his heart. He no longer harbored any superfluous emotions towards Yu Sisi. All he wanted was to be with Gu Wanzhou; after all, she would be his daughter in the future. Maintaining a certain level of friendship would make future interactions less awkward. After driving his Mercedes E to Phoenix Hotel, the first thing Li Zhiyan noticed was Auntie Rao''s Audi A6. In a ce like this, Audi A6s were quitemon, but Li Zhiyan remembered her license te number all too well. After seeing Shiyun''s license te number, his heart was filled with nostalgia. Auntie Rao''s voluptuous figure and stunningly beautiful face surfaced in his mind. The lessons she had taught him under that willow tree were truly unforgettable. "Let''s go." Gu Wanzhou''s heart was filled withplexity, discerning from her daughter''s attitude towards Li Zhiyan during the journey. Gu Wanzhou had realized that Yu Sisi was smitten by Li Zhiyan. It''s true, who wouldn''t have liked an attractive and outstanding young man like Li Zhiyan in their youth? At the graduation party, Li Zhiyan used to have the shorings of height and appearance. But now, he had miraculously ovee hisst shorings. Upon arriving at the hall where Li Meifeng was celebrating her birthday, Li Meifeng came to greet them. "Xiao Yan!" "You''ve finally arrived, the beautiful Gu, Sisi." Li Meifeng greeted everyone one by one; Gu Wanzhou presented her gift. And Li Zhiyan also handed over his bag. "Thank you, thank you." "Xiao Yan, you''ve gotten even more handsome." Behind Li Meifeng, Rao Shiyun observed the changes in Li Zhiyan and was utterly stunned. When Li Meifeng mentioned Li Zhiyan bing more handsome, Shiyun was somewhat skeptical; after all, how much more handsome could someone get in just one month? But the moment she saw Li Zhiyan, Rao Shiyun was thoroughly astounded. It wasn''t just women who ''change beyond recognition in eighteen years,'' but men too. And the extent of those changes was unbelievable. If she hadn''t recognized Li Zhiyan''s features, Rao Shiyun would have doubted if the handsome young man before her was Li Zhiyan. Perhaps, the word ''transformation'' best described Li Zhiyan''s metamorphosis! Meanwhile, Liu Zifeng also noticed that ambiguous nce in his mother''s beautiful eyes, and he lowered his head, gritting his teeth, itching for a duel with Li Zhiyan. Would his mother really end up having some kind of na?ve encounter with Li Zhiyan? A painful feeling began to spread through Liu Zifeng''s heart. ... "Auntie Rao, long time no see." After not seeing each other for a long while, Li Zhiyan''s greeting seemed a bit awkward. This made Rao Shiyun feel strangely ufortable. Looking at Li Zhiyan standing next to Gu Wanzhou, she felt an unexpected sense of sadness. Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou seemed like a good match. After all, when she first heard about the kid Li Zhiyan, it began with the story of an 18-year-old chasing after Gu Wanzhou. Back then, she wanted to tease Li Zhiyan... But unexpectedly, she got entangled in a series of stories with him, and their entanglement deepened. As Rao Shiyun''s heart was filled withplex emotions, Wang Shangyan and Lew Huan walked in from outside. "Shangyan, you''ve arrived!" "Look, there''s your favorite Li Zhiyan." Seeing Lew Huan, Li Meifeng then asked, "Lao Lew, when are you and Shangyan getting back together?" Lew Huan answered with a smile, "Soon, very soon." Looking at Rao Shiyun, his eyes shed with greed, but in Wang Shangyan''s presence, he truly didn''t dare to show any intentions. Although he said the reunion was imminent, Lew Huan always felt it was bing more elusive. His wife had recently grown distant and had stopped mentioning anything about getting back together. Of course, he was unaware that while he was focused on pursuing Rao Shiyun, his own home had been ''stolen,'' and Li Zhiyan was making progress toward his ''game'' target. ... "Auntie Wang." Wang Shangyan was quite open; since she was divorced, and she liked the kid a lot, why not go for a big hug? "Xiao Yan." Stepping forward, Wang Shangyan opened her arms willingly. Then she and Li Zhiyan shared a tight hug. "Xiao Yan, auntie has missed you so much." "I haven''t been to the supermarket these past few days, and finally, I see you here." The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 263: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng Liu Zifeng''s heart was extremely tormented, his mother had always been a divine goddess in his heart, and he wouldn''t allow anyone to desecrate her. But this Li Meifeng always joked with his mother like that. Yet he couldn''t do anything about it, which infuriated Liu Zifeng deeply. Because he knew very well that Li Meifeng was his elder. If he dared to object, his mother would definitely scold him. In Liu Zifeng''s heart, there was quite a bit of fear of his own mother. "Nonsense, I''m not pregnant, where would the milke from?" Rao Shi Yun spoke quite liberally after all. Butpared to Li Meifeng, she was like a minor witch before a great wizard... And Li Meifeng, whenpared to Yin Xueyang, was simrly a minor witch before a great wizard. "That''s not necessarily true, I''ve seen it on the news." "Some people have it even if they aren''t pregnant." "You just need Xiao Yan to put in more effort, right?" Li Meifeng joked in such a way that Liu Zifeng couldn''t stand it anymore. He retreated to a corner to drink some red wine, today he didn''t expect Li Zhiyan toe, otherwise he wouldn''t havee here to find displeasure for himself. Drinking the wine, Liu Zifeng''s hatred for Li Zhiyan grew even more intense. Yu Sisi was the one he liked the most. But now Yu Sisi kept talking about Li Zhiyan, and Liu Zifeng could imagine, if Li Zhiyan was willing. Then Yu Sisi would definitely be very eager to go to a hotel with Li Zhiyan. The goddess he could only long for from afar was readily avable to Li Zhiyan. And Li Zhiyan, who used to be nothing more than a clown in his eyes. He had even arranged for a group to beat him up once. Now, such a clown had turned him into a real clown, how could this be! The key point was, he was also entangled with his own mother. In his heart, his mother was supposed to be pure and untouchable. Thinking about it, Liu Zifeng felt even worse. "Rao Shi Yun, why have you been hiding awaytely? Are you avoiding Li Zhiyan?" Rao Shi Yun shook her head. Actually, she missed Li Zhiyan very much in her heart. After all, this child held a special ce in her life. To her, he had already be an indispensable part of her life. But the things that happened between them, whenever she thought about them, she still felt shy. She even taught him how to kiss. She was already 42 years old, and he was only 18, and at that time she was nning to remarry her ex-husband. If her ex-husband found out. What would happen, she truly was a shameless woman. "Mypany is in the busy season right now, I really am too busy to get away. You know that, if it weren''t for your birthday today, I wouldn''t have made the special trip toe." Li Meifeng knew that Rao Shi Yun wasn''t lying. Rao Shi Yun was indeed very busy currently. "But you should spend more time with Li Zhiyan, you know very well how much that kid likes you." "Even if you don''t say feed him, you should see him often, any good rtionship will cool down if you don''t see each other for a long time." "And if you don''t want to feed him, there are plenty of others who would love to. You have no idea how popr this kid is." "It''s rare for such a handsome guy to like mature women, if you don''t seize the opportunity, sigh..." At this moment, Li Meifeng''s voice was filled with a hint of sighing. "What handsome guy." "Who would want to feed him?" Rao Shi Yun''s curiosity was piqued, what nonsense was this woman talking about? "Don''t you know, Li Zhiyan grew taller and became more handsome during military training; he''s like the man of my dreams." "I used to think this kid was good in every aspect, but just too average in height and looks." "But now, he''s really too handsome; if only he were my son." Li Meifeng''s words werepletely heartfelt. A dream man like Li Zhiyan was what any mature woman would desire to possess. "Be handsome?" Rao Shi Yun was a bit skeptical in her heart, how handsome could he have gotten? Just a military training session, and in total it''s only been about a month, could he still grow at 18 years of age? Rao Shi Yun''s heart was filled with endless questions. "Anyway, you definitely won''t believe your eyes when you see Li Zhiyan." "And there''s something else I need to tell you." "Wang Shangyan has opened a supermarket at Xiao Yan''s school, and they see each other all the time." "Their rtionship is really close!" "Hugging and kissing on the cheek all the time," "I suspect Wang Shangyan has already fed him, after all, she''s already divorced and now a single woman, she can do whatever she wants." "Maybe they''ve even been to a hotel together!" After Li Meifeng said this... Rao Shi Yun''s heart felt unbearably ufortable. Been to a hotel together, somehow her mind conjured up certain images without her consent. For a moment, her heart was filled with extreme distress... Had Xiao Yan really been to a hotel with Wang Shangyan? Lew Huan''s wife was a genuine beauty. Now divorced, even if she went to a hotel with Xiao Yan, She would certainly not have any psychological burden. Could they really have... Seeing Rao Shi Yun''s pained expression. Li Meifeng felt a dark satisfaction in her heart, pleased with sessfully stirring up trouble. After such a long time, she finally got to enjoy a bit of thrill! When Gu Wanzhou and Wang Shangyan both arrived, things would be even more interesting. "Meifeng, this is a gift for you." "Thank you, beautiful Rao!" Chapter 264: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng_2 ... On the ride home, Yu Sisi couldn''t stop thinking about the image of Li Zhiyan embracing her mother. That hug had been a perfect fit. It brought her back to the graduation party when Li Zhiyan had publicly confessed his feelings to her mother. A sense of crisis inexplicably surged in Yu Sisi''s heart. After getting to know Li Zhiyan better, Yu Sisi felt her affection for him growing by the day. The more he ignored her, the more she wanted to get close to him. Recently, she even harbored thoughts of confessing her love to him. If only Li Zhiyan would agree to be with her, it would absolutely be worth it to confess. But Li Zhiyan''s attitude left Yu Sisi with no confidence at all. Now, seeing how close he was with her mother, Yu Sisi couldn''t help but feel worried... However, after giving it some thought, she felt the likelihood of her mother and him being together was next to nothing. After all, there was a huge age difference of 23 years between them, a disparity that doomed some possibilities from the start. As long as she made an effort, there was definitely a chance. Up front, Gu Wanzhou also breathed a small sigh of relief. Thankfully, Li Zhiyan hadn''t called her Wanzhou in front of her daughter; otherwise, even she wouldn''t know how to exin it. She needed to spend more time with the child in the future to change her thinking. She couldn''t let her always see her as a woman, but rather as an elder to be respected. However, thinking about her recent coldness towards Li Zhiyan, Gu Wanzhou felt a twinge of guilt for not considering the child''s feelings while trying to handle the situation with indifference. She would have to make it up to her in the future. Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, was reminiscing about eating seafood with Auntie Jiang at the restaurant. That feeling was truly unforgettable. At the same time, the idea of buying a new phone crossed Li Zhiyan''s mind. Given the current state of things, knock-off phones were too slow, and he could afford a Samsung. The Samsung Gxy S had been on sale for seven months now; he should get one when he has the chance. Although he was quite used to his flip phone, it still wasn''t as convenient as a smartphone. Now that all of his roommates were using smartphones, he was the only one still using GPRS for the inte. ... Inside the school, Zhang Honglei, Yin Qiang, and two other rich second-generation kids stood together smoking cigarettes. Decked out in thetest Nike sneakers, Zhang Honglei was glowing with satisfaction. Ever since his mother brought him five thousand yuan to school, all his ssmates were convinced that he was a genuine rich second-gen kid. This feeling gave Zhang Honglei an indescribable thrill. He waspletely immersed in ying this role. "Zhang Honglei, I didn''t expect your family to be so rich; you even have a maid at home," Yin Qiang said with a hint of admiration in his voice, something his own family didn''t have.

Then she and Li Zhiyan shared a tight hug. "Xiao Yan, auntie has missed you so much." "I haven''t been to the supermarket these past few days, and finally, I see you here." Chapter 266: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng_4 As she spoke, she gently kissed Li Zhiyan''s face. Leaving behind a faint lipstick mark. Yu Sisi felt a bit ufortable watching this, but since it was a younger rtive showing affection for a child, it seemed quite normal. Lew Huan, as usual, had opinions but didn''t dare to voice them, only managing to express his anger in a brief huff. "Look how close the two of them are." "Xiao Yan, have a couple of bites, then kiss your Auntie Wang''s lips again." "Those red lips are so tempting, even I''m moved." Today, Li Meifeng was quite bold indeed, acting as the Star of Longevity, she knew that no matter what, Wang Shangyan wouldn''t re up. As expected, Wang Shangyan didn''t mind her words. She only touched Li Zhiyan''s face. Her eyes were filled with nothing but indulgence. "Stop teasing Xiao Yan now, he''s still just a child." Wang Shangyan said with a smile. At this moment, a sour sensation rose in Rao Shiyun''s heart, what was up with this woman? In the presence of so many people, and as a married woman, although divorced, but with her ex-husband right there, to be this intimate with Li Zhiyan, what a shameless woman. At that moment, she even wanted to pull Li Zhiyan away to keep him far from this Wang Shangyan. Gu Wanzhou''s heart was equally ufortable. Given the current situation, she was technically Li Zhiyan''s interim girlfriend. In this context, for Wang Shangyan to hug and kiss Li Zhiyan in her presence was quite unsettling. Was she being too strict with her demands on Li Zhiyan? Like previously saying that he could only hold hands, not touch her legs... Not let him kiss her face, was it too much? Wang Shangyan could act that way. Between elders and juniors, hugging and kissing is normal, right... Was her rtionship with Li Zhiyan not even as good as Wang Shangyan''s? Gu Wanzhou began to reflect on this in her heart. As more people arrived, Li Meifeng, who was naturally extroverted and a businesswoman with a widework, hosted arge birthday gathering. Over forty people came to the party. With so many guests, Li Meifeng didn''t have the mood to stoke the fires anymore and started to attend to other guests. "Ladies and gentlemen, it''s almost time for dinner, thank you all foring today, everyone please find a ce to sit down and eat." Wang Shangyan took the lead and sat down with Li Zhiyan, then touched his head, pulling him into her embrace. That demeanor was very much like a mother cherishing her son. She truly adored Li Zhiyan. After Gu Wanzhou sat down on the other side of Li Zhiyan, Yu Sisi followed suit and took a seat. Rao Shiyun, who was a stepte, had no choice but to sit beside Wang Shangyan. Lew Huan looked at the scene and felt some annoyance, then he moved to another table. Liu Zifeng sat opposite, watching his own mother be so close to Li Zhiyan, feeling deeply upset. ... "Xiao Yan, you''re really popr, huh." "Wanzhou, Xiao Yan has chased you for so long, with so many people here today, don''t you think you should give a clear response?" "Hurry up and agree, have a child for Li Zhiyan already." "You shouldn''t waste such good genes." At this moment, Gu Wanzhou felt somewhat overwhelmed, indeed, this woman always spoke in this style. Although she had mentally prepared herself. But she couldn''t handle Li Meifeng''s words, which were simply too suggestive. "Nonsense..." Rao Shiyun, listening to their conversation, felt an inexplicable fear in her heart. If Gu Wanzhou really agreed and got together with Li Zhiyan, she wondered how it would feel for her. Just thinking about it made her heart ache. Fortunately, it was clear that Gu Wanzhou was a rational person, and it was unlikely that she would make a decision to be with Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, have some shrimp." Wang Shangyan, who was peeling shrimp with her fingernails for Li Zhiyan at the side, stuffed the shrimp meat into Li Zhiyan''s mouth. "Thank you, Auntie Wang." Savoring the fresh and smooth taste of the shrimp, Li Zhiyan expressed his thanks. "Look, Wanzhou, I think in this new era, if you really like Li Zhiyan in your heart, you should admit it openly. I can see that Wang Shangyan really likes Li Zhiyan a lot." "Xiao Yan, be brave too." "Kiss your Auntie Wang directly, and take her to a hotel room tonight." Since Lew Huan had moved to another table and the neighboring area had be very noisy, Li Meifeng spoke without any restraint. Anyway, she loved to add fuel to the fire. The sight of these women feeling jealous and fighting over the wind was the most amusing. The three of them were mature women who could usually keep theirposure. But jealousy is a woman''s nature. In such an environment, who knew what kind of irrational things they might do. It''s all unpredictable... Today, she came just for the spectacle. "Come on, Xiao Yan, hurry up and kiss your Auntie Wang, I''m waiting to watch." Li Zhiyan also felt overwhelmed by Li Meifeng''s flirtatious behavior; not to mention his rtionship with Auntie Wang had not progressed that far. Even if it had, he wouldn''t kiss her in front of so many people. "Okay, stop teasing Xiao Yan now." Rao Shiyun couldn''t help but start talking, both Wang Shangyan and Gu Wanzhou''s rtionship with Li Zhiyan gave her a sense of crisis and jealousy! Unable to help herself, she interrupted Li Meifeng''s words. "Just kidding, everyone, let''s eat and enjoy the meal." Li Meifeng felt the timing was nearly right. She would wait for the right moment to stir things up again. Chapter 267: 117 Discovered mom and Li Zhiyan secretly being affectionate, the pained Liu Zifeng_5 "By the way, Shangyan, I haven''t been to school for a while now. How''s the ie from the supermarket there these days?" Once they started talking about business matters, Wang Shangyan became much more at ease, peeling shrimp for Li Zhiyan as she spoke, "It''s just the usual, pretty much what we predicted back then." "Tens of thousands a month." "Since the school isn''t sealed off and there are quite a few shops outside the school, it''s pretty standard." Rao Shiyun also wanted to peel shrimp for Li Zhiyan, but seeing Wang Shangyan continuously feeding him, she felt somewhat superfluous in the moment. Li Zhiyan noticed Wang Shangyan''s somewhat messy wavy hair and gently tucked some stray strands behind her ear. This gesture made Gu Wanzhou feel an even stronger sense of crisis. Are these two that close? Had something happened between Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan? Had they kissed? Or maybe, something more... Li Zhiyan is a grown man, possessing all the normal capabilities, and Wang Shangyan is even more so, fully ripe. So if they really wanted to do something, it was entirely possible. Had this woman used any tricks to seduce Li Zhiyan? Xiao Yan was young and virile, and it was hard to avoid being deceived by her. The more Gu Wanzhou thought about it, the more ufortable she felt. "It''s reallyfortable for you at school; you can see Xiao Yan every day." "I remember there''s a small room in the supermarket." "Come clean, have you done anything naughty with Xiao Yan in that small room!" Li Meifeng''s serious talk didn''tst long before she reverted to her usual tone. This made Wang Shangyan''s face heat up. No matter how strong she was on the inside, she couldn''t stand up to the continuous dirty talk from a woman like Li Meifeng. Today was her birthday, and she couldn''t really say anything about it. "Small room, young man, young woman, just thinking about it is exciting..." Li Meifeng kept talking, and Rao Shiyun couldn''t listen anymore. She stood up and left the hall, wanting to go out for a breath of fresh air. Even though Li Meifeng was joking and it was her usual style, her words always conjured up images that yed in Rao Shiyun''s mind. She was bing restless. "Jealousy, this is the manifestation of jealousy." "Her heart longed for Li Zhiyan, wanted to feed Li Zhiyan; this is guilt." Gu Wanzhou pondered, she had really seen displeasure in Rao Shiyun''s eyes. This meant that she truly harbored some thoughts toward Li Zhiyan. A 42-year-old woman having such thoughts? It can only be med on Li Zhiyan liking mature women and being sufficiently excellent, the type all mature women like. After a while, Li Zhiyan said, "I''m going out to the restroom." Auntie Rao was too busy with business to have much one-on-one time with her. So Li Zhiyan nned to seize the moment and not let it slip away. "They''re going out for a date, maybe they''re going to find a ce to kiss before theye back." Her words made both Gu Wanzhou and Wang Shangyan unconsciously feel a sense of pressure. Could it be that what Li Meifeng said was true? Li Meifeng felt she was on top of her game today! Stirring up trouble was just too much fun. ... After Li Zhiyan left, Liu Zifeng quietly followed him. The words of Li Meifeng made him somewhat believe that his mother and Li Zhiyan had something going on. The moment he stepped outside, Li Zhiyan spotted Rao Shiyun standing by the window for air. "Auntie Rao..." Once he was behind Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan called out to her. Rao Shiyun turned around; she didn''t expect Li Zhiyan to actually follow her out. "Xiao Yan, why are you out here?" "Auntie Rao, I missed you." "Can I hug you?" Looking at Rao Shiyun''s curvaceous figure and astonishing bust, Li Zhiyan felt a slight thrill, knowing that only her friend who liked to wear cheongsams couldpare to her in this regard, yet there was still a gap. Auntie Rao''s D+ bust size was indeed virtually unheard of, and those plump, perfectly shaped legs had just enough flesh but weren''t fat, could maximumly arouse Li Zhiyan''s hormones for mature women. "Okay..." "Auntie misses you too." "Like missing a son." Rao Shiyun could no longer control her yearning. Sometimes, in her dreams, she would dream of Li Zhiyan, so in that moment, she wanted to hug Li Zhiyan. Meanwhile emphasizing it was a longing from an elder for the younger, not between a man and a woman. Li Zhiyan stepped forward and embraced Rao Shiyun tightly. "Auntie Rao, I miss you..." He greedily breathed in Rao Shiyun''s scent. Li Zhiyan really wanted to relive the memories under the willow tree with Auntie Rao. And this scene was fully witnessed by Liu Zifeng who had juste out. Li Zhiyan was actually hugging his own mother''s waist! His brain exploded with thoughts - could he have done other things to his mother! Chapter 268: 118 Drunk and impulsive breakthrough with Gu Wanzhou Liu Zifeng still remembered the scene when his mother first met Li Zhiyan. Back then, his mother was very close to Li Zhiyan, holding his hand and chatting with him for a long time. At that time, Liu Zifeng''s heart was filled with unbearable jealousy. He had a feeling that his mother''s love had been stolen by Li Zhiyan. Not only did he steal the love of his goddess, Yu Sisi, but he also wanted to take his mother''s love. Yet at that time, his mother and Li Zhiyan weren''t that close. Now... The embrace between the two was so tight it was obvious that their rtionship had reached an extraordinary level. So, had something happened between his mom and Li Zhiyan? Liu Zifeng couldn''t bear to imagine it at the moment. ... "Auntie Rao, I haven''t seen you for a long time." "If it weren''t for Aunt Li''s birthday today, I wouldn''t know when I could see you next." Filled by the feeling of Rao Shi Yun''s plump figure and smelling the mature scent on Auntie Rao, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart. He truly missed Auntie Rao to the tune of twenty percent. "I missed you so much." Hearing Li Zhiyan whisper his longing in her ear, Rao Shi Yun''s heart felt warm, along with a wave of guilt. Indeed, she had been too busytely. Sometimes she neglected this child, not showing him enough care and love. "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan, Auntie has indeed been too busy recently." "From now on, Auntie will invite you out more often." Rao Shiyun patted Li Zhiyan on the back, and for some reason, memories of the incident under the willow tree shed through her mind; the fundamental change in her rtionship with Li Zhiyan had started from that moment. If she hadn''t drunk too much that time, the shift in Li Zhiyan''s attitude towards her wouldn''t have happened. If only he hadn''t started seeing her as a woman, how wonderful that would have been. It was all because she had drunk too much and felt too lonely. "That''s great, Auntie Rao, I''ve really missed you a lot." "Okay now, Xiao Yan, stop hugging Auntie like this." Rao Shiyun could clearly feel Li Zhiyan''s longing for her, but hugging like this in such a public setting was clearly inappropriate. After all, an embrace between an 18-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman looked strange no matter how you looked at it. "Mhm, Auntie Rao." After ending the embrace with Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan still held onto her hand and wouldn''t let go. "Xiao Yan, how did you be so handsome, and you''ve grown taller too, a total heartthrob." Rao Shiyun touched Li Zhiyan''s face, feeling a kind of affectionate pride as if watching her own son grow up. As for the matter of her wanting to take him as her godson, Li Zhiyan was very clear about it. Such a gaze was not at all surprising to him. "I don''t know, maybe it''s just the age." Rao Shiyun nodded. "Yes, it''s exactly that you''ve reached the age of transformation." She recalled the first time she saw Li Zhiyan, thinking he was just a boy with a delicate face, and nothing else really stood out. But now, all aspects of him really seemed perfect. "By the way, do you like me, or do you like Aunt Gu or Auntie Wang more?" Li Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, all women have an innate sense ofparison. He knew Auntie Rao wanted to avoid romantic involvement with him, considering the 24-year age gap was indeed significant. Yet today she had taken the initiative to ask who he liked most in his heart. "My favorite is certainly you, Auntie Rao. You are the most beautiful, have the best figure, and are especially kind to me." "Compared to them, Auntie Wang and Aunt Gu are far behind in my heart." Li Zhiyan''s words made Rao Shiyun''s heart bloom with joy. Was she the one he liked most in his heart? This feeling was truly enjoyable. "Xiao Yan, let''s go back." Rao Shiyun also couldn''t help but kiss Li Zhiyan on the face. Feeling the soft and fragrant touch of Auntie Rao''s lips, Li Zhiyan felt an urge to revisit the memories under the willow tree. But in the end, he restrained himself; this truly wasn''t the ce for it. And if he really revisited those memories with Auntie Rao, there was no telling whether she would be angry or not. Love affairs were best left to unfold naturally. Take Auntie Jiang for instance; their rtionship was advancing unstoppably along the thousand-mile journey ahead. It was only a matter of time before inertia would lead to Auntie Jiang conceiving. "Alright." Rao Shiyun kissing Li Zhiyan was thoroughly witnessed by Liu Zifeng. Upon seeing his mother and Li Zhiyan getting ready to return, he immediately turned and walked towards the stairwell corner. He couldn''t stand to stay in this ce any longer, knowing Yu Sisi liked Li Zhiyan. All those aunties treated him like a treasure, even his own mother treated him like one, kissing him. There was really no reason for him to stay here any longer. Staying here would only upset him. ... Once he had returned to the dining table and sat down, Gu Wanzhou also saw the two had just let go of each other''s hands upon entering the door. The sourness in her heart intensified; were the rtionships between the two of them that close? There was also the ambiguous rtionship between Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan. It seemed like she always wanted to be close to him, to hug and cuddle with him. Chapter 269: 118 Drunk and impulsive breakthrough with Gu Wanzhou_2 Is it my own misconception? This extremely brash woman is really apletely different person in front of Li Zhiyan, as gentle as a mother treating her son. "All done feeding." "Your clothes seem quite convenient." "That was fast, Xiao Yan, did you eat enough?" Li Meifeng saw that Wang Shangyan, Gu Wanzhou, and Rao Shi Yun¡ªthese three women were all jealous of each other. Rao Shi Yun and Li Zhiyan had been out together for so long now. Naturally, she didn''t want to miss such an opportunity. This kind of fuelling the fire was really too enjoyable. "Aunt Li, don''t talk nonsense, I was just having a conversation with Auntie Rao." Wang Shangyan''s heart also instinctively felt a sense of crisis. What had they been talking about for a while, could it be that Rao Shiyun was seducing Xiao Yan? Wang Shangyan remembered her own ex-husband had been utterly fascinated by Rao Shi Yun before, which was why she had set up a trap for her, and that was the root cause of her divorce with Lew Huan. Now, she really didn''t want to remarry Lew Huan anymore. From now on, she would live alone. Old memories surfaced in her mind, Wang Shangyan recalled the time Li Zhiyan had helped Rao Shi Yun block the drinks. So many people forcing Li Zhiyan to drink. Li Zhiyan didn''t back down, although he could drink a lot and managed to outdrink all of them. But it must have been ufortable, after all, it was alcohol, not something else. In his heart, Rao Shi Yun must be a very important elder. Although she didn''t think of Li Zhiyan as a man, Wang Shangyan still hoped that among the many elders, she was the most important one in Li Zhiyan''s heart! Gu Wanzhou also harbored an inexplicable worry in her heart, having be Li Zhiyan''s temporary girlfriend. Gu Wanzhou really couldn''t regard Li Zhiyan as the naive kid he had been before anymore. After all, the first time he confessed, he wanted her to be his girlfriend. Now, she had actually gotten involved with him. "I know, just eating while talking." "If you''re not full, no worries, Auntie Wang and Aunt Gu can feed you." Regarding Li Meifeng''s style, everyone was used to it. She often made such jokes, which should not be taken seriously. However, the hearts of the three aunts, including Li Meifeng, were even more filled with jealousy, each jealous of the other two. If only Li Zhiyan didn''t know them, how good that would be. After sitting down, Rao Shi Yun''s mood clearly improved a lot, especially after what Li Zhiyan had said. It really made her heart feel especially warm. This child really kept her in his thoughts; no matter how busy she was, she would find time to spend with him in the future. ... Li Zhiyan, having sat back down, found himself surrounded by Wang Shangyan and Gu Wanzhou again. His mood was also quite good. And for the following period, Li Meifeng continued to fuel the fire. With the three women''s jealousy ring up, Yu Sisi felt very upset. Before, she had thought that Li Zhiyan''s confession to her mother was just to make her jealous, but now she suddenly felt that perhaps Li Zhiyan truly liked her mother. And also, Auntie Rao and Auntie Wang, it seemed like he liked them too. Would they all be her rivals in love? For a moment, Yu Sisi''s heart felt very ufortable. After the dinner, Li Meifeng sent off the numerous friends one by one. Lew Huan was dragged away by a few friends to continue drinking. Soon, only Rao Shi Yun, Gu Wanzhou, and a few others were left at the scene. After Liu Zifeng disappeared, Li Meifeng asked, "Rao beauty, where''s your son?" Rao Shi Yun had noticed that Liu Zifeng was gone, but she didn''t mind. Because Liu Zifeng was like that, liking to go out with ssmates. She guessed he had some kind of appointment. "It''s okay, we don''t need to worry about him." Li Meifeng continued, "Then let''s go to KTV to sing, how about singing while ying some small games?" "Sisi,e with us." Yu Sisi had already lost her mood by now. She had hoped to use this opportunity to get closer to Li Zhiyan, but she had made no progress with Li Zhiyan at all. She hadn''t had the chance to talk to him all evening; with these aunts around, she had no chance. She might as well try chatting with Li Zhiyan on QQter. "No thanks, Aunt Li, I have ss tomorrow, I''m heading back to school." Yu Sisi said her goodbyes to Li Meifeng too. "Okay, three beauties, Xiao Yan, let''s go sing together,ter we can y some games, and drink a few more!" Seeing the four aunts before him, Li Zhiyan was somewhat looking forward to it, not expecting that in an instant it was just him and the four aunts left. There was a hint of excitement in Li Meifeng''s voice... Having drunk too much, she became even more enthusiastic, and the group headed straight for the KTV across the street. ... Yen Zhengjin, who had just returned home from work, opened the gambling site once again, finding the site incredibly realistic. Sometimes he could even win back hundreds of thousands in a single bet. A few times, he almost broke even. He had thought about quitting with a loss of two hundred thousand, but the greed for sudden wealth continually prompted him to keep gambling. "Let''s deposit another three hundred thousand, y bigger..." Yen Zhengjin, looking at the sexily dressed croupier in the video, felt his desire for sudden riches reignited. ... Chapter 270 118 Drunk and impulsive breakthrough with Gu Wanzhou_3 Li Zhiyan and the four aunties arrived at the KTV. The attendant even asked if they wantedpanionship, which Li Meifeng immediately refused. If she were here all by herself, singing and drinking, she''d definitely choose a male model. However, with Wang Shangyan, Rao Shiyun, and Gu Wanzhou, these threedies were all very proper; the likes of male models were something they definitely wouldn''t touch. "Let''s sing. Help me choose ''Sweet Honey''." "Above the Moon." "Soaring Freely." Today Li Meifeng was the Star of Longevity, so she really wanted to have a great time. Readtest stories on empire The other three aunties had a totally different taste in music from Li Meifeng; they preferred songs that were a bit more artistic. "Xiao Yan, you choose a song too." Li Meifeng urged Li Zhiyan to pick a song, but he wasn''t really interested. He knew his own abilities well. "Forget it, Aunt Li, I sing terribly." "I''d rather just listen to you sing." "Okay." After they sat down, Wang Shangyan took Li Zhiyan''s hand and started to chat with him. Among the three women, Wang Shangyan had the most natural rtionship with him. Because their interaction had always been like that of rtives. In the heart of this bold woman, Wang Shangyan, Li Zhiyan was always a child. So, for her to hold a child''s hand and kiss his face was really nothing. "Xiao Yan, do you want to travel with Auntie during the National Day holiday?" Li Meifeng had begun singing, sparing Wang Shangyan from her flirtatious talk, vastly reducing the mental pressure. Now she had a chance to chat peacefully with Xiao Yan, on her birthday. So even if the jokes were a bit excessive, she shouldn''t really say anything; she did need to be more tolerant of her today. "Are you nning to go on a trip with Uncle Lew?" Li Zhiyan was a bit worried that Auntie Wang and Lew Huan might rekindle their old mes, which was not a scene he wanted to see. "No, that won''t happen." "Xiao Yan, your auntie and he have already separated. Now we don''t live in the same house." "Auntie doesn''t want to get remarried anymore." "You''re absolutely right, someone like Lew Huan wouldn''t allow peace even if we remarried." Speaking, Wang Shangyan touched Li Zhiyan''s face, feeling that she was growing fonder of this young rtive by the day. "That''s good. You''ll never be wrong listening to me." "Auntie Wang, my filial piety towards you is wholeheartedly sincere." "That Lew Huan is really not a good person." Wang Shangyan smiled gently. "Xiao Yan, your auntie feels the same way." "Let''s talk about our matter now." Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shiyun sitting nearby were feeling quite startled. This woman was so shameless, why talk about such emotional issues with a kid? And she''s going on about not remarrying¡ªwhat does that have to do with Li Zhiyan? Besides, when she mentioned their ''issues'', she couldn''t possibly be thinking about being together, could she? "Auntie Wang, what issue?" Li Zhiyan roughly guessed that this brash woman wanted to be his mother. To him, this was amonce matter. The aunties dreamed of him constantly, especially his mother''s best friend, Wu Qingxian, who would call him son all the time¡ªthere was nothing he could do about it. However, in his life, he only had two mothers¡ªone was his birth mother. The other was his mother-inw, Shen Rongfei. Of course, at night he might jokingly call Aunt Fang ''mother'', but that was just a joke. Truly being someone''s son was something Li Zhiyan inherently didn''t fancy. "If it''s about being your son, let''s drop it; I''m not interested." Wang Shangyan picked up a bottle of cocktail and sipped lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise. Li Zhiyan had actually guessed that she wanted him to be her son? This kid, how could he be so clever? It was as if he could sense her thoughts. "So, you don''t like your auntie at all, do you? You have no idea how much your auntie adores you." The alcohol was starting to affect Wang Shangyan, and her boldness wasing to the surface. She moved closer and embraced Li Zhiyan. "Darling, Auntie loves you the most; I even dream of having a son like you." "Good son, let mama give you a kiss." As she spoke, Wang Shangyan left several lipstick marks on Li Zhiyan''s face. This made Li Zhiyan realize that Auntie Wang must be drunk. "Auntie Wang, you''ve had too much to drink." "I haven''t, Meifeng, I''lle sing with you." Seeing that Li Zhiyan was unwilling to acknowledge kinship, Wang Shangyan felt a bit helpless, realizing she could only temporarily abandon this idea... However, it solidified in Wang Shangyan''s heart. She must make Li Zhiyan her son in the future. She absolutely had to be his mother; such an awesome son was not to be missed. After Wang Shangyan went to sing as well, Gu Wanzhou kept drinking her cocktail, feeling very upset. Tonight, she had been jealous too many times because of Li Zhiyan... And the reason for her jealousy was all because of this kid, Li Zhiyan. "Am I being too conservative?" "If Wang Shangyan can be so uninhibited, treating Li Zhiyan like a child and kissing his face, why can''t I?" Gu Wanzhou thought to herself, feeling she should let go a little. Chapter 271 118 Drunk and impulsive breakthrough with Gu Wanzhou_4 At least it would let Li Zhiyan kiss her face; only then could she prove that in her heart she saw him as a junior, not as a man! With this thought, Gu Wanzhou gradually began to lower her own boundaries. Rao Shi Yun''s thoughts were much the same, but remembering that Li Zhiyan had told her she was his favorite made sweetness surge in her heart incessantly. The group kept drinking, and before they knew it, it was half-past nine in the evening. Everyone was getting a bit tired from singing, and seeing the game spinner on the table, Li Meifeng suggested, "Let''s y Truth or Dare. Whoever spins to 23 gets tomand someone to do anything, how about that?" None of the three were particrly interested in this game. But recalling it was Li Meifeng''s birthday, they all agreed to y. "But let''s not do anything overboard!" Wang Shangyan added, and the rules of the game were set. "I''ll go first!" Li Meifeng spun the wheel, harboring some wild thoughts¡ªshe was intent on taking advantage of her birthday to really let loose. The pointer quickly came to a stop at 12 o''clock. Among over a hundred numbers, aiming tond precisely on 23 was nearly an impossible feat to consider. They kept spinning, and the background music in the room was switched to the original vocals by Li Meifeng. After continuous effort for more than ten minutes, Li Meifeng finallynded on the number 23! "I got it!" "Wang Shangyan, you feed Li Zhiyan!" The moment this request came out, Wang Shangyan''s heart started to pound¡ªthis woman was really going wild! What in the world was she thinking? "No, that''s too much, I''m not Xiao Yan''s mother." Hearing Wang Shangyan''s refusal, Li Meifeng hurriedly said, "Xiao Yan, did you hear that? She''s hinting at you, hurry up and acknowledge your mom, then she''ll be willing to feed you." Li Zhiyan had long since grown ustomed to Li Meifeng''s audacity. He could tell that she had indeed drunk too much. "Aunt Li... perhaps you could change the dare to something else." Li Meifeng wanted to see something exciting; when she realized it was a no-go, she indeed acknowledged that they were all rather conservative women, unlike her, looking average but living wildly. "Well then, how about this¡ªWang Shangyan, give Li Zhiyan a kiss, would that work?" She saw it as a perfect opportunity to stir up trouble, making Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun watch Wang Shangyan kiss Li Zhiyan, which would surely make them jealous. "It''s just a kiss, Xiao Yan,e here." Wang Shangyan grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand and pulled him towards her embrace. Li Zhiyan nearly collided with Auntie Wang''s ample chest. The scent of Wang Shangyan''s perfume was making its way persistently into Li Zhiyan''s nostrils¡ªit was exceptionally fragrant. "Wait a second!" Li Meifeng''s voice, influenced by her intoxication, was very loud. "It has to be a kiss on Li Zhiyan''s lips to count," she emphasized. Wang Shangyan hesitated. Li Zhiyan was only an 18-year-old youth, and ever since she''d gotten to know him a short while ago, she had regarded Li Zhiyan as a junior¡ªa peck on the cheek was a very natural thing. But a kiss on the lips seemed rather inappropriate, didn''t it... Thinking about it, Wang Shangyan felt unsettled; a kiss on the lips certainly wasn''t a familial peck. "This isn''t appropriate, Xiao Yan is still a boy after all," Wang Shangyan didn''t want to kiss Li Zhiyan on the lips. "Oh, why worry about it? Between a man and a woman, a kiss should be deep," "but a loving peck from an elder to a junior is just a gentle touch." "If it''s just a light peck, delicate as a dragonfly skimming the water," "then what difference does it make between the cheek and the lips? My request is actually quite ordinary." "You wouldn''t want to back out on the Star of Longevity, would you, unless Li Zhiyan is unwilling!" "Otherwise, you have to kiss him today." Wang Shangyan gritted her teeth, feeling she should follow the dare. After all, it was Li Meifeng''s birthday. And the request wasn''t excessive, considering Li Zhiyan had previously kissed her on the lips before. "Alright..." "Xiao Yan,e give Auntie a kiss." Wang Shangyan held Li Zhiyan''s hand, then with her cherry-red lipstick, she applied a bit of it onto Li Zhiyan''s lips. Somewhat hazily, Wang Shangyan tasted a hint of his vor. It was over in an instant, causing Wang Shangyan to wonder if she had imagined it. This kiss stirred up feelings of annoyance in Rao Shi Yun¡ªshe sipped her cocktail in silence, as the alcoholic strength hit her more and more. They kept spinning the wheel, but even by ten o''clock, nobody hadnded on the coveted 23. Ovee by drowsiness, Li Meifeng decided it was time to rest. "Let''s book a big bed room, and all us girls can sleep together tonight." "It''s toote to go home safely now." "Okay." Rao Shi Yun and the others felt tired as well. Soon after, they left the KTV and headed to a nearby hotel to book arge-bed room. "Xiao Yan." In the elevator, Li Meifeng patted Li Zhiyan''s shoulder. "Why don''t you sleep over too? You''re just a kid, we wouldn''t mind." Li Zhiyan didn''t have the intention to stay overnight, as he still needed to return to Aunt Fang''s home for some important business! He had to massage Aunt Fang''s ck silk-d legs. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire She had really put in a lot of effort for the sake of getting pregnant. Staying here meant his hormones would only increase, not decrease. Chapter 272 118 Drunk and impulsive breakthrough with Gu Wanzhou_5 "Forget it, Aunt Li, I still need to get home," "Momma''s boy!" Once in the room, Li Meifeng turned on the air conditioner, kicked off her high heels, and was the first to dash to the bed and fall asleep. Next, Rao Shi Yun sat down on the sofa, and soon shey down, her plump, fair legs below her short skirt were incredibly eye-catching. Wang Shangyan, who had drunk the most, ran over to Li Meifeng''s side and alsoy down to sleep. Watching the three women sleep, Gu Wanzhou, who was still somewhat sober, couldn''t stop picturing the scene of Wang Shangyan kissing Li Zhiyan earlier. Even though it was just a peck... But that was still a real kiss on the lips. Thinking about it, jealousy surged in Gu Wanzhou''s heart. Why did Li Meifeng enjoy stirring up such trouble? "Xiao Yan, let Auntie walk you out," Li Zhiyan didn''t refuse, and after he and Gu Wanzhou reached the corner of the corridor, Li Zhiyan stopped. Looking at the deste night view of Wancheng outside the window, he said, "Aunt Gu, you can stop here." "Do you really not want to spend more time with Auntie?" Taking the initiative to step forward, Gu Wanzhou reached out and grabbed Li Zhiyan''s hand. They had agreed before that holding hands was okay, so Gu Wanzhou thought it felt quite natural. "It''s not that, Aunt Gu, but it''ste, and I feel it''s unsafe for you, as a woman, to send me out and thene back alone," "So let''s just leave it." Gu Wanzhou gave a gentle smile. "Still calling me a woman? I''m old enough to be your mother." Looking at the exceptionally handsome Li Zhiyan in front of her, Gu Wanzhou could understand even more why Wang Shangyan liked Li Zhiyan so much. The current Li Zhiyan had no shorings and was so talented. Who wouldn''t like him? "Oh, dear..." After a while, Gu Wanzhou said earnestly, "Do you think Auntie has gone too far?" Li Zhiyan probably sensed that Gu Wanzhou was feeling jealous. "What aspect are you referring to?" "About being your girlfriend for a month but only letting you hold my hand," As she spoke, Gu Wanzhou again thought of how Li Zhiyan would often mention wanting to touch her legs, he really liked her legs. That''s why he was always thinking about touching them. "Not at all, Aunt Gu, no matter how you feel, I respect and like you," "You don''t let me do things that are over the line, probably because your heart can''t ept them. I won''t make it difficult for you," "I hope that one day," "You will be my girlfriend willingly, and then we can be together," "I genuinely want to be with you, and eventually have a child with you," Li Zhiyan''s words truly caught Gu Wanzhou off guard. My god, Li Zhiyan even wants to have a child with her. She couldn''t help but blush. "I understand, dear, no matter what happens between us in the future," "You can always kiss and hug Auntie," "Kiss Auntie''s cheek, hug Auntie, all of that is eptable to me," Gu Wanzhou didn''t want Wang Shangyan to be the only one who could freely hug Li Zhiyan and kiss his face. She felt that if this continued, Wang Shangyan would eventually rece her in Li Zhiyan''s heart. Even if they did not end up together, Li Zhiyan was still her favorite junior. So Gu Wanzhou cared a lot about her ce in Li Zhiyan''s heart. "Really?" At this moment, Li Zhiyan felt very grateful to Li Meifeng. Their rtionship had never had an opening, and even wanting to touch her legs required the pretext of a massage. Li Zhiyan was very aware of how conservative her mindset was. And the game Li Meifeng yed today really made her jealous, including all those teasing words. It was also stimting Gu Wanzhou''s heart. "That''s great, Aunt Gu," "You can''t go back on your word, don''t forget it after you''ve sobered up," Li Zhiyan said very seriously. Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but smile and shake her head, she was a very assertive woman and never went back on her word; she always carried out what she said. That''s why she never spoke carelessly. "Okay," "Auntie will never go back on her word," Before Gu Wanzhou could finish, Li Zhiyan stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Gu Wanzhou''s waist. "Dear, what are you doing..." "Aunt Gu, you said I could hug you, and right now, you''re still my girlfriend," With a heart full of joy, Li Zhiyan then kissed Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face. In that instant, Gu Wanzhou''s cheeks became hot. This kid was kissing her face... And she had allowed it. Under the influence of alcohol, Gu Wanzhou instinctively hugged Li Zhiyan back. Having been lonely for so many years, she felt her natural instincts reawakening. Then, she felt Li Zhiyan''s lips moving continually towards her own. In a moment of impulse... Gu Wanzhou leaned in. At that moment, even Li Zhiyan was stunned... Aunt Gu had actually initiated it! Chapter 273 119 Gu Wanzhou took the initiative, passionately teaching Li Zhiyan how to do it Gu Wanzhou took the initiative to seek out her own lips. This was something Li Zhiyan had never dreamt of; in the blink of an eye, Gu Wanzhou kissed Li Zhiyan, and the feeling of soft jade and warm fragrance came through. It made Li Zhiyan''s heart feel somewhat stirred; he had kissed Aunt Gu''s lips. Afterward, he also leaned in closer. And then tried to truly kiss Gu Wanzhou. "Aunt Gu..." Murmuring Gu Wanzhou''s name softly, Li Zhiyan hoped to get Gu Wanzhou to talk so he could then pry open her mouth. However, after just a brief contact, Gu Wanzhou pushed Li Zhiyan away. "Alright, Xiao Yan, you''ve already kissed your aunt," she said. "We can stop here." Li Zhiyan looked at Gu Wanzhou''s face, which was full of a tender smile, feeling a bit dazed. Was that it? However, the rtionship between himself and Aunt Gu did not make a significant breakthrough in the end. He should respect her wishes then. "Okay, Aunt Gu, I''ll go back first," he said. Seeing that Li Zhiyan was really about to leave, Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but cover her mouth and chuckled lightly to herself. This child, why is he so earnest today? "Xiao Yan, I didn''t expect you to be so sincere today," she said. As she spoke, Gu Wanzhou began to lower her head shyly. The her who had drunk too much had little sobriety left. The subconscious affection she had for Li Zhiyan was being stimted little by little. Seeing Gu Wanzhou''s shy appearance, Li Zhiyan felt as if he was dreaming. Aunt Gu actually had such a girlish charm to her. Afterward, he approached her eagerly, but identally bumped into the head of Aunt Gu, who was bowing her head. Gu Wanzhou covered her forehead, obviously in some pain, and she felt Li Zhiyan''s eagerness. In the midst of the pain, she also found it somewhat amusing. "Oh my, have you never kissed a girl before?" she teased. The inebriated Gu Wanzhou seemed like apletely different personpared to her usual self, which is precisely what gave Li Zhiyan an opportunity... "Yes," he admitted. Indeed, he had been saving his first kiss every day. And it seemed to still be intact today... That was expected by Gu Wanzhou. Although Wang Shangyan had kissed Li Zhiyan, it wasn''t a true kiss. "Xiao Yan, when kissing a girl, don''t be impatient; you have to be gentle," she instructed. After their eyes met, the atmosphere became eerily quiet. Watching the blush slowly creep up Gu Wanzhou''s cheeks, Li Zhiyan could no longer contain his emotions. He stepped forward and kissed Gu Wanzhou''s red lips directly, and began to truly kiss. "Dear, let Auntie teach you..." Gu Wanzhou started to guide Li Zhiyan through his first kiss. The two entwined with each other, with Gu Wanzhou releasing the hormones that had been pent up in her heart, unable to suppress the loneliness she had felt for so many years. As they continued to kiss, Gu Wanzhou could clearly feel Li Zhiyan''s progress. Li Zhiyan was indeed a talented young man, quick to learn at whatever he tried. It wasn''t until the sound of high heels clicking approached that Gu Wanzhou suddenly came to her senses and separated from Li Zhiyan. Up ahead, a scantily d woman was counting the money in her hand. She didn''t find it strange at all that two people were kissing here. After all, a hotel was a ce to release hormones; without such happenings, that would be what''s truly abnormal. "Dear... Auntie will go back first," she said. Once sober, Gu Wanzhou greeted Li Zhiyan and then returned to her room in high heels. Inside the room, three women were quietly sleeping. But Gu Wanzhou''s mood was far from calm. Had she really taken Li Zhiyan''s first kiss? It truly felt like a dream... She had intended to coolly handle her temporary girlfriend rtionship with him, but unexpectedly, under the influence of alcohol tonight, she had encouraged him to kiss her. How was she to face him afterward... ... Walking on the street, Li Zhiyan''s mind lingered on the kiss they had shared. Aunt Gu''s taste was truly intoxicating. It made him yearn for more; ever since his rebirth... Aunt Gu was truly the first woman to make his heart flutter, and tonight they had shared such an experience. Recalling Gu Wanzhou''s affectionate, girlish demeanor, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but be moved again. By the time he returned to the house he shared with Fang Zhiya, it was already veryte. Fang Zhiya was still up waiting for him. "Aunt Fang," he greeted as he entered the house and saw Fang Zhiya in her stockings and high heels waiting for him. This made him feel very warm and secure. In his past life, Li Zhiyan had experienced too many nights returning to an empty home... The thought always left him feeling cold and alone, but in this life, such days would never return. "Baby, want somete-night snacks? Auntie made you some dumplings," she offered. "They''re warming in the pot." "Auntie will make you some hangover soup to sober up," she added. Every word from Fang Zhiya was so tender; her only thought was to take good care of Li Zhiyan. To have a child with him; nothing else mattered. At that moment, Fang Zhiya also noticed the smell of alcohol on Li Zhiyan and in her heart... Chapter 274 119 Gu Wanzhou took the initiative, passionately teaching Li Zhiyan how to do it_2 Li Zhiyan is an incredibly talented genius, and he runs his business so well. He definitely needs to socialize, and drinking is something he can''t avoid. What I need to do is prepare him a hangover soup. "Aunt Fang, do you have a day off tomorrow?" "Yes." "Tomorrow is a day off." As she spoke, Fang Zhiya was really looking forward to the holiday; one day past the risky period is one day gained. So, Xiao Yan needs to hurry up and get ready for pregnancy. "Then I will work really hard." "Aunt Fang, I feel like having dumplings, so you don''t need to make hangover soup, I won''t get drunk." Li Zhiyan, possessing the skill of the Wine God, is definitely unparalleled in drinking. Find exclusive stories on empire "Okay, baby, go sit over there, and wait for Auntie." After Li Zhiyan took his seat at the dining table, Fang Zhiya quickly brought over a te of dumplings. "Hold on, Auntie will get you some vinegar." Running back and forth, she prepared the dumplings, vinegar, and the dumpling soup. Feeling somewhat hungry, Li Zhiyan tucked into the dumplings heartily. Aunt Fang''s cooking has always been delicious, and the dumplings were no exception. "Aunt Fang, you''re so good to me." "What are you saying? You''re Auntie''s man, if Auntie doesn''t treat you well, who else would she treat well?" As she patted Li Zhiyan''s head, affection filled Fang Zhiya''s eyes. At the same time, she felt that tonight Li Zhiyan would probably tease her by calling her that particr nickname again. And now, responding to his nickname for her seemed more and more natural. While eating dumplings, Li Zhiyan gently enjoyed the sensation of Aunt Fang''s silky legs. It was truly exquisite. For someone like Aunt Fang, a delicate and pretty woman to have such long, beautiful legs was both contradictory and perfect. "Aunt Fang, I''m going to take a shower first, wait for me in the bedroom." Fang Zhiya''s pretty face couldn''t help but flush with heat. Although ustomed to trying for a baby with Li Zhiyan, deep down, she was traditional. To her, some things were inherently shy. After Li Zhiyan went to the bathroom to shower, Fang Zhiya headed to the kitchen to wash and clean up. By the time Li Zhiyan returned, she had brushed her teeth, so it saved them a lot of trouble. ... When Li Zhiyan arrived in the master bedroom, the chandelier had already been turned off. Only the dim night light under the television was still emitting a faint glow... Under the weak light, Fang Zhiya, dressed in ck silk, appeared incredibly charming and alluring on the bed. Li Zhiyan couldn''t resist anymore; he stepped forward and gently embraced Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang..." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s call, Fang Zhiya also slowly closed her eyes. "Baby, kiss me..." With Aunt Fang''s request, Li Zhiyan naturally couldn''t refuse, and he kissed Fang Zhiya. Fang Zhiya also responded passionately. "Aunt Fang, your ck silk feels so good." "We need to work hard tonight." "Okay, baby, let''s work hard." Holding onto Li Zhiyan''s neck, Fang Zhiya felt utterly blissful. Her life has been so happy since she met Li Zhiyan. "M..." ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, he found that the system reward for his eight-pack abs had been fully credited. He checked the system. Today was the day to carry out the task at Auntie Jiang''s clothing store. The task time was clearly marked for today. "Auntie Jiang really has it tough..." Thinking about Auntie Jiang''s troubles, Li Zhiyan felt deeply sympathetic; she had really experienced too muchtely, whether it was her husband or her son, they both caused hurt to her heart. Gently holding the still-sleeping Fang Zhiya beside him, feeling the warmth of her body, Li Zhiyan softly kissed her forehead. Clearly, she was quite exhausted. After a while, Fang Zhiya gradually woke up. "Baby, Auntie will go make you breakfast." The first thought that came to Fang Zhiya upon waking up was to cook for her one and only treasure in this lifetime. "Aunt Fang, why don''t you lie back down for a while?" "You... Iy down enoughst night, and if it''s going to happen, it certainly would have happened. "I''m going to make breakfast now." After wearing slippers to the bathroom, Jiang Xian washed her face with a cleanser, but she noticed. Her skin seemed exceptionally good today. Coming in to brush his teeth from behind, Li Zhiyan gently embraced Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, do you feel like your skin has gotten better?" Li Zhiyan asked softly, fully aware that this was the effect of the system''s skill. Without the skill, in ten years, all the aunties would be over fifty, and their condition would definitely decline. Even though he would love them passionately without caring, deep in their hearts, they certainly would be concerned. After all, at that time, he would only be 28, in the prime of his life. But with the system skill, everything had a solution... If it weren''t for the system, even if he hade back to life, he definitely couldn''t have solved this problem. "I feel that way too, like I''ve gotten several years younger." Surprise filled Fang Zhiya''s beautiful eyes. At this age, a woman could age quickly... She had been very worried about this issue, even though it did not show now, what about a few yearster? But today, she felt as though she had be a year younger. "Maybe being with the one you love truly is the secret to keeping young." Chapter 275 119 Gu Wanzhou took the initiative, passionately teaching Li Zhiyan how to do it_3 ``` "Aunt Fang, we need to get much closer in the future." "If we do, you''ll look younger and younger as time goes by." After kissing Fang Zhiya on the face, she also felt quite good about it. After brushing her teeth, Fang Zhiya went to cook. ... After breakfast, the two parted ways in the neighborhood. At the moment of parting, Li Zhiyan kissed Fang Zhiya''s lips again. Ensuring no one had noticed, Fang Zhiya took the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan''s lips in return. Then she turned around and left. Fang Zhiya was really looking forward to the National Day holiday. Although she knew Li Zhiyan couldn''t stay with her all the time, even one or two days would be fine. Usually, she didn''t get to spend much time with Li Zhiyan. Because she mostly had to work the next day, she naturally didn''t dare to overdo it. But such a long holiday was different, she could rest up and fully prepare for pregnancy. While walking, Li Zhiyan thought about the mission at hand. His current main goal was to save up three million. After finishing Auntie Jiang''s task and his father-inw''s, his savings would once again approach one million. The first time he had saved up one million took almost two months, but now, with the system enhancement, making money had be easier. As Li Zhiyan was thinking, the monthly profits from the inte cafe and the milk tea shop totaled up to sixty thousand yuan, which was credited to his ount. This filled Li Zhiyan with an uncontroble sense of excitement. His savings had now reached 660,000 yuan. The feeling of making money while lying down was truly exhrating. Once his intepany started and he could earn a million a month while lying down, that would be even more thrilling. Just arriving at the school gate, Li Zhiyan saw Zhang Honglei with red eyes, standing at the entrance smoking and boasting to a girl beside him about how rich his family was. "Don''t worry about it, just 1,500 yuan. Such spending is quite ordinary for me." Li Zhiyan was taken aback. Zhang Honglei was really daring to boast like that; even with 660,000 yuan in savings, Li Zhiyan wouldn''t dare to say he could frivolously waste 1,500 yuan. "So Zhang Honglei, when are you going to switch to a Samsung phone?" "Switch? I''m going to switch right away." Zhang Honglei felt he couldn''t back down now. He reckoned that for the National Day holiday, with an Audi A4 to drive, he should ask his mom for 5,000 yuan to splurge. No, a Samsung phone alone would cost 3,400 yuan; he''d have to ask his mom for at least 6,000 yuan to spend the National Day holidayvishly. While Zhang Honglei was nning to ask for money, he saw someone he really didn''t want to see: Li Zhiyan because he knew his bottom line. If Li Zhiyan exposed that his mom was just an ordinary office worker, he would lose face at school. The thought made Zhang Honglei feel somewhat afraid. However, fortunately, Li Zhiyan had no interest in his scandal. He was willing to share his motherly love, giving himself the opportunity to take overpletely, which he was more than happy to ept. Wu Auntie truly yed an irreceable role in his life. His greatest hope was to make Wu Auntie love only him for the rest of her life. ... After arriving in ss, everyone was obviously very excited. Most students hade from other provinces to study here, and since military training started, they hadn''t gone home. National Day, a long holiday atst to truly rx. "Brother Yan, you really make me jealous." "I''ve seriously never seen you return to the dorm." Ziang Zexi felt he had seen a lot of women as a male model, but all the rich women he met were old and ugly. Otherwise, such good luck would never be his turn. But Li Zhiyan was different, beauties like Su Mengyue were thinking about confessing to him all the time, yet he showed no interest at all. Your adventure continues at empire Clearly, he was surrounded by stunning beauties. The lifestyle of never returning home at night seemed absolutely fantastic. If possible, he too wanted to live like that! "Brother Yan, the next time we meet will probably be after the semester starts. I discussed it with Ziang Zexi yesterday, and I''m going with him to work as a waiter to earn some extra cash." "Making a bit of money is still money." In Zhang Zhiyuan''s voice, Li Zhiyan could hear that Zhang Zhiyuan clearly desired to work as a model but his circumstances didn''t allow it. He couldn''t help it. "Right, I and Boss Ya..." "I have a deep connection with Boss Ya, and you can earn a month''s living expenses just over the National Day holiday." "Plus, if some rich woman picks you to drink with her, then you''ll make a killing." "After that, you could get yourself a newputer." Zhang Zhiyuan didn''t respond, but Li Zhiyan could sense it. His whole heart was filled with the desire to make money. "It''s a pity, Brother Yan, you would definitely make a fortune if you went to apany rich women for drinks." Regret filled Ziang Zexi''s words. Li Zhiyan: "..." He himself was working hard to be someone with an annual sry of ten million; going to drink with old, ugly women was out of the question unless he was crazy. ... At noon, Li Zhiyan went to a nearby Samsung phone store. He spent 3,400 yuan on a smartphone. After powering it on and switching the sim card, Li Zhiyan found the smartphone very sluggish. Having been used to phones with high refresh screens and high configurations for 24 years, he found such a phone to be truly awful. However, in this era, such specs were already top-notch. ``` The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 276 119 Gu Wanzhou took the initiative, passionately teaching Li Zhiyan how to do it_4 "At least you can install apps, making a lot of things much more convenient." Walking down the street with a Samsung phone, Li Zhiyan felt the envious nces of some young girls. "It''s good it''s not an iPhone, otherwise they''d be green with envy..." Li Zhiyan remembered clearly that many people who bought iPhones didn''t have bags or pockets; they just wanted to hold them in their hands to show off. Stay updated via empire The key point was that this way of showing off actually worked because most people in that era hadn''t seen much of the world, and their views on consumption weren''t influenced by the ostentation promoted in short videos. Unlike in 24 years, when even people with a monthly sry of three thousand would be holding thetest Apple or Huawei models. After buying the phone, Li Zhiyan made two cups of sour plum drink and took them to Jiang Xian''s store. "Auntie Jiang." Jiang Xian''s mood was clearly good today; she must have moved on from the previous events. "Xiao Yan." "Auntie Jiang, how''s the business going at your store?" Hearing Li Zhiyan mention business... Jiang Xian smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, you''re right, the most important thing about selling clothes is the style, and those young girls all like toe here to buy clothes." Li Zhiyan nced at the clothing store across the street, which was clearly struggling because of Auntie Jiang''s store opening. No wonder such a thing had happened; the times had already changed quite a bit. If the timeline continued to move forward, that would be the real danger. "Auntie Jiang, I''m d business is good. Do you have any ns for the National Day holiday?" "For National Day, I n to stay here and keep the shop open, to make good money. Without money, I don''t feel secure at all." Li Zhiyan fully understood Jiang Xian''s perspective. "Then, Auntie Jiang, I''lle keep youpany after school." "Okay..." Li Zhiyan noticed Jiang Xian''s skin, which was fairer than the other aunties'', and his gaze lingered on her red lips. Auntie Jiang''s lips were small too, but much nicer than Aunt Fang''s. Eating would definitely be less tiring. Aunt Fang was already making dinner and feeding him; so, he ought to feed Aunt Fang too. After this mission, Auntie Jiang must have had some emotional fluctuations. So, this was his chance to get closer. "Auntie Jiang, can Ie over after school and scrounge food from you?" "Sure..." Jiang Xian was looking forward to it. The idea of having a meal with Li Zhiyan made her feel very happy, like she had a family. Would she and Li Zhiyan have their own family in the future? ... After returning to school, Li Zhiyan went straight to Han Xueying''s office. Aunt Han''s injuries had almost healedpletely. But there were still risks, so she needed his traditional Chinese medicine massage. Li Zhiyan always had a special ce in his heart for Han Xueying, the sweet-looking counselor who was like a big sister to him. So he took this massage very seriously. Once Li Zhiyan arrived at the office... He saw Han Xueying, who appeared to be a bit troubled. "Aunt Han."N?v(el)B\\jnn No teachers were in the office at noon. So Li Zhiyan directly called her Aunt Han. "Xiao Yan,e sit down," Han Xueying beckoned him to sit, recently her mind was constantly filled with thoughts of Li Zhiyan, and she didn''t know why. Maybe it was because her bond with the boy was getting deeper. "Aunt Han." "Do you have any ns for National Day?" Li Zhiyan''s question made Han Xueying feel warm inside. She felt very fortunate to know him. She genuinely cared about her wellbeing. "Auntie ns to stay at home and study well during National Day. "To improve myself." Li Zhiyan wasn''t surprised by Han Xueying''s thoughts; it was consistent with Aunt Han''s style. "Then, Aunt Han, let me give you a massage to help with the injury; it''s important to massage it more." "Hmm..." Although the massage involved touching feet and legs, Xiao Yan was just a child. So whatever he did didn''t matter. And his massages were indeed veryfortable, soothing enough to make one feel like falling asleep, even causing some instinctive reactions. Li Zhiyan''s one hand was on Han Xueying''s ankle, and the other was on Aunt Han''s thigh. As she wasn''t wearing stockings today, it saved some trouble. "Aunt Han, I''lle to keep youpany during National Day." There was no need for the title of Time Management Master for this, as during the National Day holiday when everyone went home, he had to apany his mother; otherwise, she would be very upset. And since Aunt Han was his neighbor, it was convenient for him to visit her. "Hmm... okay, Xiao Yan, Auntie is waiting for you." During the massage, Han Xueying''s voice turned into that coquettish tone. This made Li Zhiyan''s heart also twenty percent more enjoyable. The voice was really so pleasant; only Aunt Han had such a voice, but it only emerged when he massaged her. "Aunt Han, hang in there, I''m going to apply more pressure now." "Hmm... Xiao Yan..." Li Zhiyan continued to massage Han Xueying, and after a long while, he finally finished the session. Yet Han Xueying''s tone hadn''t changed back. "Xiao Yan, you should go back to ss, it''s time. Don''t bete for thest ss before the holiday starts." "I know, Aunt Han." Chapter 277 119 Gu Wanzhou took the initiative, passionately teaching Li Zhiyan how to do it_5 Watching Li Zhiyan leave the office, a flush of red slowly appeared on Han Xueying''s pretty face. Traditional Chinese medicine really is profound and extensive, even if it was just a massage on her ankle. But she really felt like her whole body had lightened up. ... On thest half-day before vacation, the students were noticeably more cheerful! Even the ones usually engrossed in their studies were now distracted, with everyone discussing their vacation ns. "Brother Yan, is that the new Samsung? Cool, rich and handsome really is different." The three of them were envious of Li Zhiyan, who could afford his own milk tea shop, so spending over three thousand on a phone didn''t seem like a huge deal! Chatting with a few show-offs, Li Zhiyan was also on the inte chatting with Shen Rongfei. "Xiao Yan, Auntie has prepared everything for the trip to Sucity." "Let''s leave the day after tomorrow and stay overnight in Sucity." "Once we''re there, you and Chenchen have a good talk. Auntie will create some space for you."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Shen Rongfei was very concerned about Su Mengchen''s matter; it had been a burden on her heart for many years. "Okay, I got it, Mom." Using the term "Mom" as usual brought a smile to the beautiful face of Shen Rongfei in the office. The feeling of having such a son seemed really wonderful. She felt that the day Li Zhiyan would be her son was not far off. Soon after, Li Shiyu sent a message. "Brother Yan, it''s National Day. Let''s battle it out in Brotherhood Inte Cafe for seven days!" Li Zhiyan: "I''lle and y with you when I''m free, but I probably can''t battle it out for seven days." "That''s fine, I only get to y in the inte cafe at night when at school, and it''s been killing me." "I''m going to really enjoy this vacation!" Li Zhiyan understood his best friend''s inte addiction; at this moment, he was at least very happy, which was good. Time passed quickly. Outside the door, the students from the ss next door had finished theirst ss and were cheering as they ran to the dorms to pack up and head home, while Li Zhiyan''s ss still had lessons, so they had to endure one more ss. The students were all eager to leave, and finally, after thest ss was over, they all excitedly ran out. Su Mengyue was watching Li Zhiyan as she left. She was thinking about confessing her feelings to Li Zhiyan, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn''t have the courage. The confession can wait until after National Day. "Goodbye, Brother Yan. I believe a wealthy woman will fancy me!" Zhang Zhiyuan was very confident, obsessed with the idea of finding a rich woman. Meanwhile, as Jiang Zexi walked, the Six-vor Rehmanni Pills in his pocket rustled. ... By six in the afternoon, there were hardly any people left near the university town. Everyone had gone home to celebrate the National Day; after all, it onlyes once a year. Even the usually bustlingmercial street had quieted down. Jiang Xian felt a sense of mncholy as she looked at the deserted street. "Xiao Yan ising over to eat, let''s cook!" Thinking about the meat and vegetables she bought for the kitchen, Jiang Xian''s heart was filled with warmth again. The world could be very cold sometimes, but Li Zhiyan was really good to her, treating her genuinely as a family member. What she didn''t know was that, across the street, the clothes shop owner was chatting with several thugs in a box. "Brother Fei, don''t go too hard on her." "Otherwise, it''ll cause trouble. Just scare her enough to close her shop. That''s all." "Ever since that damn woman showed up, my business has plummeted. If I don''t deal with her, I won''t be able to keep my shop open!" Huang Mao, a thug, took the Yuxi cigarette the owner handed to him, lit it with a lighter, and began puffing smoke. Continue your journey on empire "No matter what, you don''t get to refund the thousand we pay you." "Of course, there will be a big reward if you get the job done." The thugs were very confident. There were few cameras on themercial street, only at the intersections. Threatening a defenseless woman was going to be a piece of cake. They could easily intimidate her and even snatch some money, it would be a huge profit! While engulfing himself in smoke, Huang Mao looked towards the opposite clothing store. What they didn''t realize was that their conspiracy was being closely observed by Li Zhiyan, not far away. At this moment, Li Zhiyan was secretly thrilled inside; this feeling of advanced knowledge was like having the power of foresight. He hadn''t fought in a long time, so he thought of using these guys for some practice. With eight-pack abs, Li Zhiyan always felt his physical endurance had improved. And this time, it was also a great opportunity to treat Auntie Jiang to a meal! Chapter 278 120 Complete compromise out of being touched, Jiang Xians passion Ever since he developed an eight-pack with Aunt Fang''s training. Li Zhiyan felt his physical strength had further increased, especially after the system issued a new task. In no time at all, he hadpleted it with a bit of effort at Aunt Fang''s. Li Zhiyan quietly watched the gangsters across the street. Thinking about the task worth one hundred thousand yuan.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Once this task was done, his cash on hand would reach 760,000 yuan. He had emptied his savings to buy the house, but soon, he would be a millionaire again. ... After a brief discussion, a few of the gangsters headed over to Jiang Xian''s clothing store. All three had fruit knives out, looking fairly menacing. In the clothing store, where Jiang Xian had just started cooking, she felt a sense of loss. She was now homeless and all alone, and even this usually bustlingmercial street was deserted. In such a scene, Jiang Xian couldn''t help but feel an overwhelming sense of destion. Luckily, tonight, Li Zhiyan would keep herpany for dinner. Just as she turned on the stove, the sound of footsteps made Jiang Xian stop her cooking. Could it be someone wanting to buy clothes? If so, she could earn some money again. But as she stepped out, she saw several oddly dressed thugs walking in. "Buying clothes for your girlfriend?" Though she greeted them that way, a sense of panic subconsciously took hold in her heart. Discover hidden tales at empire Grabbing a handbag from the rack nearby, she was ready to fight desperately if anything happened. In her bag, there was also a fruit knife. Huang Mao was visibly stunned when he saw Jiang Xian. He hadn''t expected the owner of this store to be so beautiful. Even though she seemed to be in her 40s, in terms of both figure and looks she was exceptional, with skin so fair that even young girls couldn''tpare. He had never seen such a fair-skinned woman. For a moment, he was so taken aback that he almost wanted to change his approach and get to know Jiang Xian first. But then he thought of the poverty in his pocket and decided to stick to his professional ethics. Intimidating her was the priority under such circumstances. "Don''t bother opening your store anymore, beautiful," "After the National Day holidays," "if I see you still doing business here and something unpleasant happens, you''ll be responsible for the consequences," "unless you date me, let me take you out for some fun regrly." "I guarantee no one on this street will dare to bother you." Jiang Xian''s eyes were filled with fear as the thug spoke¡ªafter all, she was just a woman. "Get out of my store now." At this moment, Huang Mao was still fantasizing about good fortune, thinking of getting fresh with Jiang Xian. However, Li Zhiyan, who paid utmost attention and care to such matters, would never allow them a chance to seed. He stepped forward and positioned himself in front of Jiang Xian. "Get lost!" That was Li Zhiyan''s favorite phrase when dealing with thugs. Because he was absolutely confident he could take on five at a time. And Li Zhiyan felt the "one-against-five" skill the system rewarded him had a bug. As long as he kept his position, he could take on many people by breaking it down into many instances of one-against-five. Now, he could truly be considered a real martial arts master. The moment Li Zhiyan''s figure appeared before her, Jiang Xian felt an unprecedented sense of security. But her concern quickly overwhelmed her¡ªthere were three men in front of her, all wielding fruit knives. If Xiao Yan started fighting them, could something go wrong? Now, Jiang Xian would rather be the one in trouble than see Li Zhiyan take any risks. As Li Zhiyan approached, Huang Mao got irritated. He stepped forward and threw a punch at Li Zhiyan. Without any hesitation, Li Zhiyan countered with a punch to his fist. A painful sensation overtook Huang Mao as he was knocked back repeatedly, dropping his fruit knife on the ground. The other two thugs hurriedly advanced, intending to jump Li Zhiyan. The youngster looked like a tough cookie. But even a mighty dragon can''t fight a pack of wolves, they reckoned. Together, they would surely overpower him. What they didn''t realize, though, was that Li Zhiyan was not just a mighty dragon. He was the legendary dragon from the school, the Dragon Teen. In the blink of an eye, the two thugs wielding fruit knives were beaten up by Li Zhiyan, howling as they crawled out of the clothing store. Li Zhiyan knew these small-time hooligans were no good and hadn''t seen much of the world, only capable of bullying themon folk. They wouldn''t daree back. But even if they did, it wouldn''t matter, since the system would alert him. Ever since the system provided explicit notifications regarding the safety of those he cared for, Li Zhiyan never worried again. After the three thugs had run off, Li Zhiyan picked up all three fruit knives and threw them in the trash. He then crossed the street to intimidate the store owner. The owner had never encountered such a tough person and was scared out of his wits. Those three had been wielding knives yet couldn''t defeat him. This kid must be professionally trained in martial arts. When Li Zhiyan returned to Jiang Xian''s clothing store, She hurried over and began checking him for injuries, clutching Li Zhiyan''s hand. "Xiao Yan," "Are you all right?" Jiang Xian''s heart was racing, overwhelmed by the terrifying ordeal they just endured. The thought that if Xiao Yan were harmed, she didn''t know how she would go on living. Chapter 279 120 Complete compromise out of being touched, Jiang Xians passion_2 In this world, aside from Li Zhiyan, there would be no one else who would be so good to me. "It''s fine, Auntie Jiang, don''t worry." "I have a bit of a talent in this area." Jiang Xian was still very worried. "Take off your shirt and let Auntie check if you''ve been cut by the knife." Jiang Xian was deeply concerned about Li Zhiyan''s safety. "I''m fine, Auntie Jiang, really, I''m okay." However, Jiang Xian was still very insistent. "No, Auntie needs to check." Now, all Jiang Xian could think about was her concern for Li Zhiyan... She didn''t want there to be any issues with Li Zhiyan''s safety. Unable to argue with Jiang Xian, he eventually took his shirt off. Once he removed his shirt, his eight-pack abs were perfectly disyed. In that instant, Jiang Xian waspletely stunned. When Li Zhiyan had stayed over before, he had slept in her arms and even got up to eat midnight snacks several times. She clearly remembered! Li Zhiyan didn''t have any abs at all. And now, he suddenly had an eight-pack, the kind you''d only see in newspapers. For a moment, Jiang Xian''s cheeks reddened, impressed by Xiao Yan''s strength. But even now, Jiang Xian was more concerned about Li Zhiyan''s safety. After checking all around and finding no wounds, she finally felt relieved. "Xiao Yan, go inside the room. Auntie wants to check you over, I can''t rest easy." After checking several times back and forth. Jiang Xian finally felt at ease, and Li Zhiyan put his shirt back on. Jiang Xian asked, "Xiao Yan, howe you have abs now? Auntie never noticed them before." "Actually, I''ve been working out all along; maybe they''ve only just be noticeable recently." Your next chapter is on empire The matter of the abs was actually quite easy to exin. "Auntie Jiang, go cook, I''m a bit hungry." After Li Zhiyan mentioned he was hungry, Jiang Xian gave him a kiss on the face and then went off to the kitchen to cook. "Xiao Yan, help Auntie watch the store outside." "Auntie will make you food first." After Li Zhiyan agreed, he walked back and forth inside the clothing store. Indeed, a girl came in to buy clothes. From the moment she saw Li Zhiyan, she started to blush. Li Zhiyan hadn''t done up his buttons properly, and you could vaguely see his eight-pack abs. An 180-cm-tall body, the countenance of a male god! And such a perfect physique. She became immersed in Li Zhiyan''s handsomeness and, under his guidance, she bought a skirt. After paying Li Zhiyan for it, she tried to ask him for his QQ. But he rejected her, as Li Zhiyan wasn''t really interested in ''airport girls,'' especially since even the ss beauty Su Mengyue had actively shown interest in him and he wasn''t moved. After taking the hundred yuan from the clothing sale back to the little house, Li Zhiyan ced it on Jiang Xian''s small bed. From inside the small kitchen, Jiang Xian said with a smile, "Xiao Yan." "Why didn''t you ept her QQ request?" "Why not have a proper rtionship in university?" In her heart, Jiang Xian really hoped that Li Zhiyan would have a proper rtionship.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Let''s forget about that, Auntie Jiang, you know, I don''t like young girls. I prefer attractive, mature women like you." Li Zhiyan''s insistence made Jiang Xian feel very helpless. The boy liked mature women. "Auntie could be your mother, what''s the use of you liking Auntie? In a few years, when Auntie gets old, you won''t think this way anymore." Speaking of this matter made Jiang Xian feel somewhat sad. If she had been 10, or even just 12 years older than Li Zhiyan, she would have been with him without any hesitation. After all, a ten-year age gap, though significant, is not insurmountable. But the age gap between her and him was 23 years. Every time she thought about it, she felt as if there were mountains and seas between them. She and Li Zhiyan were just too far apart. Lately, Jiang Xian hade to understand that she hadpletely fallen in love with Li Zhiyan. But that was exactly why she felt even more upset. The 23-year age gap was always an insurmountable chasm. "Auntie Jiang, that won''t be the case, I have a way to keep you young forever." Jiang Xian chuckled. "What way?" "By taking Immortal Pills." If you want to stay young forever... There''s probably only one way to go about it, and that''s the mythical Immortal Pill mentioned in fairy tales. "Anyway, I can''t exin it to you, but age really isn''t an issue for us. I''m only 18 and I already have this much money. I''m sure I will make big money in the future. Then I''ll research the Youth Preservation Technique to keep you forever young." "Wouldn''t that be great?" Li Zhiyan knew that even with all the money in the world, eternal youth was impossible. But the system could do it; being reborn, one could say that the system was his biggest reliance. Only the system had the miraculous ability to make it happen. "Okay, Xiao Yan, go outside and wait to eat. It''s very smoky in here." With 20 percent of respect, Li Zhiyan gave Jiang Xian a hug from behind before leaving the kitchen. ... By the time Jiang Xian finished cooking, the street had already be deserted. Everyone was preparing to celebrate National Day, and the university town was bound to be empty, even the owner of the clothing store across from them had closed up and left. The street was extremely quiet. "Xiao Yan, dinner''s ready." Auntie Jiang came out to call Li Zhiyan, feeling a sense of destion. "Okay." After sitting down in the small house with Jiang Xian and looking across at Li Zhiyan. Chapter 280 120 Complete compromise out of being touched, Jiang Xians passion_3 Jiang Xian''s chilly feeling inside was also significantly diluted. "Xiao Yan..." "Thank you so much for today, if you hadn''t arrived in time." "Then Auntie can''t even begin to imagine what would have happened." As she spoke, Jiang Xian ced a piece of meat onto Li Zhiyan''s te as though feeding him. Li Zhiyan naturally epted it all. "Auntie Jiang, don''t be afraid, I still have to stay at this school for three years." "Whenever you''re in danger in the future, I will appear before you." Listening to Li Zhiyan''s words, and recalling the scene where he had stood in front of her, she felt a surge of emotion well up inside her. "Alright, Xiao Yan, Auntie understands..." Seeing Auntie Jiang''s moved expression. Li Zhiyan continued, "Can you help me in a different way today?" "What... what way?" Jiang Xian''s face began to heat up. Li Zhiyan nced at the depths of Jiang Xian''s cleavage before leaning in close to her ear. Although Jiang Xian felt quite bashful, she thought about how Li Zhiyan had already kissed her in another way. So, it really wasn''t impossible. As long as it didn''t go beyond that step, it would be fine. Seeing Auntie Jiang nodding softly, Li Zhiyan''s heart waspletely excited. After they finished eating, Li Zhiyan went to the front of the shop to pull down the rolling shutter. In a moment, the shop waspletely darkened. Yet the weak light flickering inside the small room became the most beautiful scenery to Li Zhiyan. Upon reaching the small room, Li Zhiyan gently took hold of Jiang Xian''s hand. "Auntie Jiang..." Jiang Xian looked at Li Zhiyan''s face, her hormones agitated within. Then, she took the initiative to steady Li Zhiyan. "Auntie Jiang..." Feeling Auntie Jiang''s intense emotion, Li Zhiyan responded in kind. After a long while, Jiang Xian said somewhat indistinctly, "Xiao Yan, kiss me softly." ... When the rolling shutter was opened, Jiang Xian said with some reluctance, "Xiao Yan, be careful on the road, Auntie will chat with you on QQ tonight." Jiang Xian truly missed Li Zhiyan a lot. If she didn''t know he had to return home, Jiang Xian really wanted to have him stay and keep herpany. She really couldn''t be without Li Zhiyan. "I understand, Auntie Jiang..." "You should lock up and rest." "It''s gettingte now." "There won''t be much business at this hour, you should rest early." Gently hugging Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan advised. At this moment, the blush on Jiang Xian''s pretty face hadn''t faded, and this blush made her exceptionally fairplexion even more charmingly mature. "Okay." "Auntie understands." "Auntie''s still feeling a bit scared right now, I really wouldn''t dare to open the shop without you." Jiang Xian was still a woman after all, and her emotional resilience was a lot less than Li Zhiyan''s, the recent events truly frightened her. Later, she took the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan, twined with him for a while, and then watched him leave. After pulling down the rolling shutter, the street seemed to quiet down. ... On the road, Li Zhiyan checked the system. His savings had now reached 760,000. "I''m finally close to getting back to a million in savings." Li Zhiyan''s mind reyed the scene of kissing Auntie Jiang, which was exactly like when they were eating at the restaurant. Auntie Jiang also had a lot of money in her bank ount. Upon arriving at Left Bank Garden, Li Zhiyan quickly went home and opened the door. As expected, his mother was sitting in the living room watching TV, waiting for him to return. "Mom."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "My son, you''re back." Zhou Rongrong''s face showed a gentle smile upon seeing Li Zhiyan, and today she was also wearing a pair of ck stockings under her short skirt. "Would you like somete-night snacks? Mom saved you some." "Okay." As a mama''s boy, Li Zhiyan particrly liked the feeling of being pampered by his mother. "Mom, is itfortable spending your first vacation in the new house?" "It''s quitefortable, anywhere with my son is home." Setting the food on the table, Zhou Rongrong sat opposite Li Zhiyan, watching him eat. "That''s good, Mom, during the National Day holiday, I might go out to have fun for a few days." Upon hearing this, Zhou Rongrong asked with some curiosity, "Are you going out with a girl?" Her heart felt a bit sour at the thought, but she also realized that her son had grown up. That was also good; after all, once he was together with Su Mengchen, she wouldn''t need to worry about him all the time. "Yes." "I''ll go out and have fun with Su Mengchen for a few days." Sure enough... After getting the confirmation from Li Zhiyan, Zhou Rongrong''s heart was filled with mixed feelings. That little rascal, he had finally grown up. "It''s okay, Xiao Yan, you don''t have to stay home with Mom all the time. Just like your Auntie Wu said, you can''t be a mommy''s boy forever." "Once you have a girlfriend, you''ve grown up." "Don''t worry, Mom, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be the most beautiful and the most important woman in my heart." Zhou Rongrong pinched her son''s face, feeling extremely happy in her heart. ... At night, Li Zhiyany in the bedroom with the air conditioning on, feeling the breeze, looking at the treasure chest at his bedside that carried his childhood memories. His heart was filled with happiness. Then, he started chatting with Su Mengchen. "Chenchen, are you ready?" Su Mengchen: "Yeah, Li Zhiyan, what kind of skirt do you like?" Lately, under the dual encouragement of Shen Rongfei and Li Zhiyan... Su Mengchen''s mentality had really changed a lot. "I like JK and pleated skirts." Mature women have their own style of dress, and young girls have theirs too. Li Zhiyan just preferred mature women, but that didn''t mean he had no interest in younger girls. His hormones were explosive when it came to Su Mengchen. It was just not yet the stage where he could have a serious conversation with Su Mengchen. Su Mengchen: "Alright, I''ll ask my mom to buy it for me." At that moment, Li Zhiyan''s nose felt a bit sore. Chenchen really had considerable affection for him. Li Zhiyan was very aware of the courage it took for Su Mengchen to do this. Late Jiang Xian also sent a QQ message. After chatting with her for a while... His best buddy Li Shiyu also sent a message. He asked Li Zhiyan if he would go online the next day. After replying it would depend on the situation, he fell into a deep sleep, already thinking about how toplete the task in Sucity. As he slept, his vital energy quickly gathered. Young people are always like this, full of limitless energy. Especially since Li Zhiyan had the support of a special title, he was really something else altogether. ... At this time, Jiang Xian was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with what seemed like lingering affection on her chin. Her rtionship with Xiao Yan was bing increasingly over the top. But when it came to Li Zhiyan, she was truly head over heels in love with him. After a long time... She took out that issue of Story Meeting, in which the stories of the adventures of a principal and a student hadpletely absorbed her. Even though she had read it many times, she still liked to revisit it from time to time. "Xiao Yan..." "What should Auntie do, should I really let you... for Auntie..." Thinking of Li Zhiyan''s capabilities, a blush began to spread across Jiang Xian''s pretty face once more. ... The next morning, while Zhou Rongrong was cooking, she received a call from her best friend Wu Qingxian. "Rongrong, I''m at the door, open up." Zhou Rongrong opened the door to find the consistently cheongsam-d Wu Qingxian standing there. This woman really loved wearing cheongsams. But she certainly had the figure to fill out a cheongsam. Explore more stories with empire "Where''s Xiao Yan?" "You''vee to see Xiao Yan?" "Of course, I''m here to see you, but I have to check on my son as well, right?" Zhou Rongrong rolled her eyes. "Xiao Yan is sleeping in his room. Go find him if you want." Though there should be a distance between men and women, Wu Qingxian had watched Li Zhiyan grow up. Zhou Rongrong wasn''t concerned about that, but this woman, always going on about ''my son'' this and ''my son'' that, made it seem as if Xiao Yan really did acknowledge her as his godmother. d in high heels, she made her way to Li Zhiyan''s room. Wu Qingxian nned to tease Li Zhiyan a bit. At this moment, Li Zhiyan was still sound asleep. However, as soon as she closed the door, she covered her mouth in shock. Oh my god... Could this even be real? Chapter 281 121 Not a single bite is for free, this mouthful of milk will take a lifetime to repay. Actually, Wu Qingxian and Li Zhiyan had embraced many times before. And she liked kissing his face. But that was under normal circumstances, whereas now it was morning. Continue your adventure at empire So at this moment, Wu Qingxian waspletely bewildered. She walked over to Li Zhiyan very quietly, trying not to make any noise with her high heels. She sat down in front of Li Zhiyan, somewhat lost in thought. After a while, Li Zhiyan woke up. After lifting the nket and sitting up, He saw Wu Auntie, dressed in a cheongsam, appear in his room, and he almost thought he was dreaming. On the first day of the National Day holiday, why would Wu Auntie appear in his room? However, the scent from Wu Qingxian that followed Made Li Zhiyan slowly realize that he was not dreaming. Although his hormones were exploding at the moment, Li Zhiyan didn''t feel embarrassed. After all, in Wu Auntie''s eyes, he was just a child, so there was no need to worry too much. "Wu Auntie, you''re here so early." "Mhm, Auntie had nothing to do today, so I thought I''d go shopping with your mom." "Son, did you miss mom? Wu Qingxian started joking with Li Zhiyan again. In fact, Wu Qingxian really wanted to go out and have fun, feeling very tired being trapped in her work environment for so long. But she was reluctant to spend money on outings because she still wanted to save up to buy a house for Zhang Honglei. Especially since Zhang Honglei had recently spent five thousand yuan on sneakers. Every time she thought about it, her heart ached unbearably¡ªfive thousand yuan was just too much. At this time, Li Zhiyan also slowly returned to his normal state, his eyes fixated on Wu Auntie''s silky stocking-d legs and he could hardly take his eyes off them. "Yes, I missed you, Wu Auntie." "That''s my good son..." Wu Qingxian stepped forward and hugged Li Zhiyan in her arms. Feeling Wu Auntie''s embrace and the scent of her body, Li Zhiyan reacted naturally. This made Wu Qingxian realize something in her heart¡ªcould it be that Xiao Yan saw her as a woman? But she didn''t give it much thought because Li Zhiyan was the little brat that she had watched grow up. In her heart, Li Zhiyan would always be just her best friend''s son. "Wu Auntie, I''m going to wash my face." "Okay." As she said that, Wu Qingxian left a lipstick mark on Li Zhiyan''s face. To Li Zhiyan, such routine gestures from Wu Auntie were something he had grown ustomed to; in her heart, she truly always treated him like aplete child. ... After freshening up, Zhou Rongrong brought the food to the dining table. "Qingxian,e and have breakfast with us." "I had a little something earlier in the morning." To maintain her figure, Wu Qingxian usually ate very little, after all, she didn''t have the kind of physique that Zhou Rongrong had, where she never seemed to gain weight. "Wu Auntie, please sit down and have a little with me." "If my son says so, I''ll have a little bit." Wu Qingxian patted Li Zhiyan''s head and sat down, thinking about the differences between her own son and Li Zhiyan, and she nced at the 140 square meter four-bedroom apartment. She felt peak envy in her heart. "Rongrong, let me borrow your son for a year. I want to be his mother for a year." "You can borrow a son?" While chatting, Zhou Rongrong also felt a deep sense of pride in her heart. "You can borrow him if you want to." "Xiao Yan, call me ''mom.'' "No way." There was no chance Li Zhiyan would call someone else "mom" in front of his own mother. He only liked jokingly calling Aunt Fang "mom" in the evenings. But today, with nothing much to do on the first day of the National Day holiday, Perhaps he would go find Aunt Fang and make an effort¡ªnot only for pregnancy nning but also because she was the only woman he could use the Youth Preservation Technique on right now. He needed to make her skin even better. Meanwhile, Wu Qingxian was struck by a thought; she had been paying attention only to his filial piety towards her andpletely overlooked another matter. Li Zhiyan seemed to have eight-pack abs? "Xiao Yan, do you have abs now? Let mom have a look," she said, pulling up Li Zhiyan''s shirt. After seeing Li Zhiyan''s eight-pack, she could not take her eyes off it anymore. How had Xiao Yan be so perfect in just over two months? Not only had he grown to a height of 180 cm, but he was also incredibly handsome. And he even had an eight-pack. "Son, when did you get abs?" Zhou Rongrong was used to Wu Qingxianpeting with her for her son, as she was her only best friend. "It''s nothing, mom, Wu Auntie, I usually work out on my abs." "I hadn''t quite gotten them before, but I guess it''s because my workout volume has been quite high recently, so the effects are quite noticeable." "That''s how I got the eight-pack."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Zhou Rongrong and Wu Qingxian were very surprised, Xiao Yan seemed to have an easier time with things than others, or perhaps this was just talent, and the pride in Zhou Rongrong''s beautiful eyes deepened. After Wu Qingxian touched his abs, she inexplicably felt her hormones secreting, as if she had been lonely for too many years and had forgotten how long it had been since she had been intimate with someone. If she could with Xiao Yan... Just as the thought appeared, a wave of guilt washed over her. This was the child she had watched grow up¡ªhow could she entertain such shameless thoughts. Chapter 282 121 Not a single bite is for free, this mouthful of milk will take a lifetime to repay_2 ``` "Wu Auntie, please stop touching." "You''re about to swell these abs if you keep it up, and that''d be troublesome." Wu Qingxian, seemingly a bit embarrassed, joked with Li Zhiyan, "You''re getting shy now, huh?" "Xiao Yan, Auntie here has fed you before, you grew up on my milk." "I''ve even bathed you before, so what''s there to be shy about?" Li Zhiyan: "..." He probably only had her milk once or twice as an infant and had no memory of it. But to Wu Auntie, it had be "he grew up on her milk." However, Li Zhiyan knew he could never really stand up to Wu Auntie. Indeed, there''s no such thing as a free lunch! He would owe her for that milk for a lifetime and hoped he could repay Wu Auntie''s kindness in the future. "Alright, Qingxian, stop teasing my son." "Rongrong, let''s go out after we eat. We can go shopping and then y in the park." Wu Qingxian, reluctant to spend money, Zhou Rongrong was the same, raising a son alone really wasn''t easy. Li Zhiyan inexplicably thought of that scumbag Zhang Honglei. Wu Auntie scrimped and saved for his sake, and yet he strutted around school pretending to be a rich second generation. Though not as extreme as Liu Yaolong''s antics, if the trend continued, it would surely worsen; Li Zhiyan was clear that human desires are endless. And these desires can drag a person into an abyss with no bottom. "Good, we could check out the boutique for something nice, like that five-dor hair clip I boughtst time." Mom liked shopping at street stalls, boutiques, and dor stores. Li Zhiyan was aware of this, so his heart ached for his mother. "Rongrong, your son is so rich, and you still go to those ces?" "I want to save money for my son." "To prepare for his future wife." Zhou Rongrong was full of hope for the future. After breakfast, looking at his mother and Wu Auntie''s retreating backs, Li Zhiyan''s heart swelled with happiness once more; as a momma''s boy, being with his mother was sheer bliss. ... "Let''s y some games." Having just woken up, Li Zhiyan wasn''t in a hurry. He nned to go to Aunt Fang''s for lunch and then prepare for pregnancy in earnest that evening. This was a serious matter; he had to help Aunt Fang get younger. After sending a message to his buddy Li Shiyu, he received a bunch of exmation marks from the other side on QQ. Then, a message that the ice-c was ready and waiting for Li Zhiyan toe over. Before heading out, Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and visited Han Xueying''s home. "Aunt Han." Although he knew the passcode to Han Xueying''s home, Li Zhiyan chose to press the doorbell because it was more polite. "Xiao Yan." Han Xueying, who had just finished washing dishes, felt a pleasant surprise; upon opening the door and seeing Li Zhiyan''s handsome face, she was taken aback at how attractive Xiao Yan had be. "Aunt Han, I came to check on you; I was worried you might be bored during National Day, so I decided to keep youpany." Han Xueying felt a bit mncholic being alone in her home during the National Day holiday, with her son not returning. Before her son entered university, before her husband passed away, her life was truly happy. But after her husband''s death, everything changed dramatically.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Now, she really felt miserable. "Alright." "Aunt Han." "I can give you a massage." "Do you need another massage...?" Although Han Xueying felt it was somewhat inappropriate, Li Zhiyan''s massages were tooforting. So, deep down, she really wanted him to massage her. Thinking she was already 39 and Li Zhiyan was just an 18-year-old kid, Han Xueying let down her guard. Even if he liked mature women, she was his counselor and a senior. So, he certainly wouldn''t harbor any thoughts about her; his offer to massage was simply due to his dutiful concern for a senior. "Yes, Aunt Han, this is a serious issue." "I need to make sure you don''t end up with any hidden injuries." At that moment, Li Zhiyan eagerly anticipated hearing Aunt Han''s voice, which resembled Yang Mi''s. Moreover, in his view, Aunt Han was even more beautiful than Yang Mi. Finding such a sweet and attractivedy next door type of mature woman was truly a rare urrence. Once they got to the sofa, Li Zhiyan gently picked up Han Xueying''s foot. Feeling Aunt Han''s silky skin, one of his hands massaged her ankle while the other moved up and down her thigh. "Aunt Han, my cousin and his counselor are starting to prepare for a child now." "I heard they''re waiting for the ''dangerous period'' because it''s easier to conceive then." With her eyes closed, Han Xueying''s voice grew more coquettish, and a seductive blush appeared on her sweet face. "Your cousin is an ass, telling little kids such things." At that moment, an image shed through Li Zhiyan''s mind. No one else is here; from now on... you''re your friend. "Aunt Han, is the ''dangerous period'' really when it''s easier to have children?" "Um..." "Xiao Yan, let''s talk about something else." Seeing Han Xueying clearly stirred, Li Zhiyan chose not to continue the topic. It would indeed be inappropriate to go on; it was enough that he could touch Aunt Han''s heart. ``` Chapter 283 121 Not a single bite is for free, this mouthful of milk will take a lifetime to repay_3 If you want to go further, you still have to wait for an opportunity. "Aunt Han, don''t worry about my punishment, I have a way to deal with it," said Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan was very concerned about Han Xueying''s safety. The background of that woman Yin Xueyang was indeedplicated, and she doted on her son Yin Qiang very much. That''s why there was the punishment. If Aunt Han kept going to her, she would inevitably be resented in the future, and Li Zhiyan did not wish for Aunt Han to suffer any repercussions. "Xiao Yan, if the punishment remains, it would be difficult for you to graduateter, and if your grades aren''t good, it''ll be too tough in the future," Aunt Han worried. While massaging Han Xueying''s thigh, Li Zhiyan said, "Aunt Han." "If Yin Xueyang wants to trouble me, even if this punishment is revoked, she has other means." "If you keep going to her, it might affect things like your performance assessments in the future." "Let me handle this matter, okay? You can trust me," Li Zhiyan reassured. Li Zhiyan was determined to ovee his enemies; otherwise, the injustice would be too hard to bear. "Okay, then," conceded Aunt Han reluctantly. Though Han Xueying was very worried about Li Zhiyan, she also remembered how easily he had handled the business license matter, which showed that Li Zhiyan was not someone to be underestimated. As Li Zhiyan''s massage continued, the blush on Han Xueying''s pretty face spread further, half an hourter. Li Zhiyan finally finished the massage. "Aunt Han, I have something else to do, so I''ll be going first..." "Okay, Xiao Yan," Aunt Han replied, her voice now dripping with affection. After Li Zhiyan left, she went to the tea table drawer to look for a nail clipper. ... When he arrived at the inte caf¨¦, Li Shiyu was already there waiting for him. "Brother Yan,e, have some ice-cold Coke." After taking the Coke from Li Shiyu, Li Zhiyan sat down and logged onto aputer. "Brother Yan, I''m really envious of you," said Li Shiyu. "This inte caf¨¦ business is insanely good, and you''re like a mighty dragon among men; your life must be trulyvish." "And my college life is just like you said." "No, it''s even worse than what you described. The premise of ying games daily in the dorm is having aputer."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "I don''t even have aputer. If I want to y games, I have to go to an inte caf¨¦." "Going out in the summer is just too hot." Li Zhiyan sat down and chatted with his close friend. As they talked, Li Shiyu''s topics began to jump all over the ce. "Brother Yan, have you managed to win over the stepmother?" For a moment, Li Zhiyan fell silent. After the stepmother divorced, her rtionship with him had be particrly close¡ªhe was just short of feeding her meals. However, if talking about winning her over, he was still two steps behind. He needed to progress gradually. If something more happened, Auntie Jiang might be able to prepare for pregnancy on his behalf. "Holy crap, no way, Brother Yan, did you really win over the stepmother?" "You must be the most sessful cougar hunter in the world," eximed Li Shiyu. Li Zhiyan, ying a game, replied, "Stop talking nonsense, she''s not the stepmother anymore, she and Yen Zhengjin have divorced." Li Zhiyan''s words triggered Li Shiyu''s imagination. "It''s because of you she divorced, right? The stepmother must really love you." "Don''t talk rubbish, you shouldn''t break up other people''s families." Li Zhiyan was a person with moral principles. The divorce between the stepmother and Yen Zhengjin was purely because Yen Zhengjin wanted to split an extra property and had be addicted to gambling. The marriage breakdown was caused by him, and it had nothing to do with Li Zhiyan. "Brother Yan, I''m so envious of you." "By the way, have you heard? Liu Yaolong is now living it up at school. He''s got a girlfriend." "He''s always going out singing and spending, driving that Mercedes S," continued Li Shiyu. "Living the life." Li Zhiyan was silent; he feared Liu Yaolong would end up selling bloodter on. It was obvious he had taken on high-interest loans or obtained money in some other way, but there''s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Enjoy now, sufferter, he thought. Of course, Li Zhiyan didn''t particrly care about Liu Yaolong''s business; after all, Aunt Fang had cut ties with him. He couldn''t even consider him a son anymore, unlike Yu Sisi, who could still be his darling daughter in the future. As the conversation went on, the two friends began to talk about Li Fuzhen. "Brother Yan, I think with your business talent," said Li Shiyu. "In the future, you could definitely be a super-rich tycoon or something, maybe even meet Li Fu from Han Country." "She is Princess Chang of Sanxing, not only beautiful, but her demeanor is truly ethereal." "If you could win her over, you wouldn''t have to worry about the rest of your life." Li Zhiyan didn''t respond; his heart did harbor some yearnings for Li Fu. This noble and serene mature woman, turning 40 this year, was at the most perfect age. However, meeting Li Fu seemed a bit too far-fetched for now; he was still a long way from a yearly ie of ten million. He needed to gather three hundred million to start such an intepany. "Stop talking nonsense, let''s y the game!" After ying games with Li Shiyu for a few hours, Li Zhiyan sent a message to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang," "I''ll be there soon." Fang Zhiya: "You''reing, baby?" "Hurry up." Li Zhiyan: "Okay, I''m on my way." At that moment, Fang Zhiya was at home preparing ingredients, nning to make a nutritious lunch for Li Zhiyan to strengthen him. She was a bit busy today, getting ready for pregnancy. After chatting briefly with Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan took a taxi straight to her home. Opening the door, he was greeted by the aroma of cooking. Chapter 284 121 Not a single bite is for free, this mouthful of milk will take a lifetime to repay_4 Li Zhiyan saw that there were already two small dishes on the dining table. Meanwhile, Fang Zhiya was still busy in the kitchen. "Aunt Fang." "Baby..." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s voice made Fang Zhiya feel her hormones surge. After that, Li Zhiyan hugged Fang Zhiya from behind, who was dressed very lightly. "Aunt Fang..." "I''ve missed you so much." While speaking, he gently turned Fang Zhiya''s head to the side, then leaned down and kissed her. Fang Zhiya had long been used to such kisses. As her body went limp, she struggled to stand firm, responding to Li Zhiyan''s kiss. And Li Zhiyan also felt the touch of Fang Zhiya''s bare, snow-white legs, since she wasn''t wearing stockings. "Xiao Yan, don''t..." ... Eventually, the dining table was filled with delicious dishes, and Fang Zhiya was lying on the sofa, her beautiful legs resting on the armrest. Li Zhiyan knew Aunt Fang needed to rest, so he started eating first. "Aunt Fang, I have something to do tomorrow." "I probably won''t be back until the night after tomorrow."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om He was going to apany Su Mengchen and Shen Rongfei on a trip for the National Day, but Li Zhiyan couldn''t possibly spend all seven days outside now; he had many things to do at home, and Aunt Shen''s business was also very busy. This time he went out, he had toplete the task of earning 100,000 yuan as quickly as possible. Getting evidence of Su Yu''s infidelity was the real priority... For the first step of his own business empire, he had to continue working hard. "I know, baby, you go ahead with your stuff, juste to Auntie when you''re free," she said. After a while, Fang Zhiya felt ready and came to the dining table to eat. Li Zhiyan lifted Fang Zhiya onto hisp. "Aunt Fang, eat well and replenish your strength." "We still have a lot to do today." "Mm, baby..." Fang Zhiya''s face blushed as she ate, sitting on Li Zhiyan''sp. After lunch, Fang Zhiya went to wash the dishes, and Li Zhiyan went to the master bedroom to fetch the ck stockings Aunt Fang had worn. When Fang Zhiya came out of the kitchen, the blush on her face had not dissipated. She knew that Li Zhiyan truly loved ck stockings. "Aunt Fang,e here." "Baby..." Despite being shy, Fang Zhiya came over to Li Zhiyan''s side, as preconception shyness couldn''t be afforded. Then Li Zhiyan took her by the hand and sat her down, picked up one of her beautiful legs, and started helping Fang Zhiya put on the stockings. "Aunt Fang, you can''t take off these ck stockings today." "I know, baby..." Watching Li Zhiyan help her with the stockings, Fang Zhiya leaned in and kissed him. Blinded by the kiss, Li Zhiyan relied on his sense of touch to help Fang Zhiya put on the other stocking as well. After all this was done, the two embraced and kissed tightly. Muchter, Li Zhiyan picked up Fang Zhiya. Heading into the master bedroom. ... At ten o''clock at night, Fang Zhiyay exhausted in Li Zhiyan''s arms. The whole afternoon, both of them had been working hard for preconception. Continue reading at empire Yet Li Zhiyan truly didn''t feel the slightest bit of fatigue. "Aunt Fang, I think your skin has gotten even better, have you noticed?" Fang Zhiya looked at her own fair, wless hands. She felt it was indeed the case and couldn''t help but feel a sense of wonder. Could there really be something like reverse aging? After lightly kissing Li Zhiyan''s lips, Fang Zhiya asked, "Baby, do you still have the energy?" This surprised Li Zhiyan; a 40-year-old woman was indeed at the peak of her hormonal prime. Just as he was about to kiss Aunt Fang again. Fang Zhiya shyly said, "Xiao Yan, you misunderstood." "Aunt is telling you to hurry home, or your mother will worry." Staying over on normal days was one thing... But during the National Day period, Fang Zhiya felt that Li Zhiyan''s mother would definitely worry. Being a mother herself, she could understand a mother''s feelings. "Okay." "Aunt Fang, have a good rest." Li Zhiyan could see that Aunt Fang''s eyelids were already fighting to stay open. He''d better go home and let Aunt Fang rest well. Though he was mainly the one exerting himself, Aunt Fang still had to respond. After a goodbye kiss with Fang Zhiya, Li Zhiyan left the house. Just as he stepped outside, the system issued a new task. "Tomorrow you will go on a trip to Sucity with Su Mengchen and Shen Rongfei." "During the trip, Shen Rongfei''s favorite high heels will break." "Please fix them for her." "Task reward: cash forty thousand yuan." "Skill: God-level adhesive technique learning in progress." "Note: God-level adhesive technique can produce the world''s most durable shoe glue." "Any difficult high heel problem can be repaired." Despite the reward being forty thousand yuan, it still excited Li Zhiyan. After all, fixing a shoe to get forty thousand was a task with virtually no difficulty. It''s just this skill that seems a bit redundant. God-level adhesive technique seems only good for starting a shoe repair stand, whereas he could earn much more doing French trantions or programming. It appears that the sole purpose of this skill is toplete this task. This pair of high heels must be quite important to the mother-inw. After returning home, sure enough, mom was waiting for him; today, Zhou Rongrong was still wearing the stockings she had on the night before. "Son, are you hungry?" In Zhou Rongrong''s eyes, there was nothing but a mother''s indulgence for her son. "Not hungry, mom, just missed you." "Did you have a good time with Wu Auntie today?" Chapter 285 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom Listening to her son''s caring words, Zhou Rongrong''s exquisitely beautiful face also bore a sweet smile. It had truly been worthwhile to raise her son with so much hardship over the years. She gently hugged her beloved son. Zhou Rongrong tenderly said, "I''m very happy today, it''s just your Wu Auntie." "She seemed to have something on her mind, she didn''t say anything when I asked her," she continued. Li Zhiyan remembered how Zhang Honglei had been going around school pretending to be a rich second-generation heir. Five thousand yuan may be nothing to a wealthy person, but for Wu Auntie, it really is a sum of money that takes her more than a month of hard work to earn. Moreover, her son could ignore his mother for such a long time. Wu Auntie''s heart must be very sad, right? "Maybe Wu Auntie ran into some trouble, if it''s not a bother, you can spend more time with her," he suggested. "I won''t be able to apany you every day for the next few days," he added. "It''s okay, Xiao Yan, you just take your time getting along with that Chenchen," she reassured. Regardless, in Zhou Rongrong''s heart, she still hoped that Li Zhiyan would find a girl of his own, so that as a mother, her mind could be at ease. She gently kissed Li Zhiyan on the face. Zhou Rongrong then went back to her room to sleep. After a simple wash, Li Zhiyany in the bedroom''s bed, feeling iparablyfortable. Tomorrow, he was going to travel with Chenchen and Aunt Shen. He hoped this trip could once again break down some of Chenchen''s psychological barriers. Although he liked mature women since his rebirth, Li Zhiyan was particrly fond of Su Mengchen. He truly felt sorry for Su Mengchen. Lying there, he remembered how tender Aunt Fang was; the thought made Li Zhiyan''s hormones surge again. Aunt Fang''s limp posture had been really too... supple. However, he had worn Aunt Fang out this time. A few days after returning, he would continue the preparations for pregnancy. ... At home, Yen Zhengjin once again turned on the online banking. He deposited more money into the online gambling tform. He had lost over a million in thest few days. Half of his savings of nearly two million had vanished.N?v(el)B\\jnn His face was pale at this moment, and he seemed to have lost all his vitality,pletelycking the spirited look he had before. "Recharge another two hundred thousand!" Yen Zhengjin, utterly consumed by the game, deposited another two hundred thousand without hesitation. "Keep ying dice," he said. "One hundred thousand a bet!" "Bet it big!" "Bet it big!" Yen Zhengjin roared uncontrobly in his empty study, betting on big as the croupier countdown proceeded. ... At this moment, at home, Wu Qingxian was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Feeling the hot weather, she got up and wiped her body with a cool towel and then remembered the sight of Li Zhiyan this morning. Young people just have natural talent and unlimited energy. And Xiao Yan also had an eight-pack. For a time, Wu Qingxian''s heart began to entertain certain thoughts. While thinking, she sped her own hand. She cursed at herself for being shameless, Xiao Yan was truly just a child in her heart. She had watched him grow from a baby to the adult he was now. Why would she have such odd thoughts? However, she really had never experienced someone as impressive as Li Zhiyan in her life... While Wu Qingxian''s mind was filled with messy thoughts, the sound of the door opening was heard. Clearly, the only person who woulde home at this time was her son Zhang Honglei. She got up and went to the door to see Zhang Honglei holding his phone and car keys. Wu Qingxian asked, "Son, you seem in a good mood?" Lowering his head to nce at his new shoes that cost several thousand, Zhang Honglei thought of how he had sessfully shown off by driving an Audi A4 in front of his female high school ssmates today. His heart was ecstatic, and he felt that if he kept spending like this for a few days, his ssmates would go to a hotel with him. The thought excited him... "Yeah, Mom," he replied. He had nned to ask Wu Qingxian for five thousand today, but looking at his mother wearing an outdated cheongsam, his heart filled with a twinge of guilt. So he temporarily abandoned the idea of asking for money. Anyway, he still had some of the previous five thousand left over, Read new chapters at empire enough to pretend to be rich for a few more days. For now, he would not think too much. In fact, Zhang Honglei did feel pity for his mother Wu Qingxian when he calmed down, like in this moment, he was a lot more clear-headed. "I''m going to sleep, I have things to do tomorrow," he said. Wu Qingxian, curiously, asked, "Are you going to see your girlfriend?" "Not yet, but I''m nning on it," he answered. "That''s great, son. Your mom is waiting for you to get married after graduation. The one thing I hope for in this life is to see you settle down and start a family," she said. Zhang Honglei felt an even deeper sense of guilt. At that moment, Wu Qingxian noticed the Audi key in Zhang Honglei''s hand. Although she did not have a driver''s license, she recognized the Audi brand. Thepany boss''s car was an Audi A8, and everyone envied and discussed it when they went to work. But Wu Qingxian never expected that her son would be holding an Audi key. "Son, why do you have an Audi key?" she asked. "It''s my ssmate''s, I lent it. I''m going to sleep now," he said. With that, Zhang Honglei returned to his room, his mind filled with thoughts of taking his female ssmates somewhere fancy. Also, he had heard that Su Mengyue in her junior year was now doing part-time work. Chapter 286 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_2 If I had this Audi A4, would I be able to win over Su Mengyue? Thinking of Su Mengyue''s youthful pretty face, Zhang Honglei felt a burning desire in his heart. The sound of a door locking echoed as Wu Qingxian returned to her own room. Thinking about her son''s Audi key, she felt a vague unease. She always felt something was amiss. "If Xiao Lei could be like Xiao Yan, that would be great." With a myriad of thoughts and worries, Wu Qingxian had trouble falling asleep. ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, he still felt invigorated. There was no helping it; at his age, with the added title, he truly had boundless energy. As usual, after getting up, Li Zhiyan saw his mom''s best friend, Wu Qingxian, in the living room. "Wu Auntie, you''re here." "Yes, Auntie missed you." As she spoke, Wu Qingxian stepped forward to give Li Zhiyan a hug and even kissed him on the face. After a brief hug, Li Zhiyan went to wash up. After freshening up, he had breakfast. Zhou Rongrong went out to have fun with Li Zhiyan as usual. As they were parting, Zhou Rongrong cautioned him, "Son, when you''re ying outside, remember to send mom a QQ message or a text to check in from time to time." Li Zhiyan had never traveled far from home since he was young. So Zhou Rongrong always felt uneasy. "Don''t worry, Rongrong, our son is such a mama''s boy, even if you didn''t mention it, he would still message you." "Right, mom, wait a moment!" "I''ll go buy you a new phone." Hearing that Li Zhiyan wanted to buy a new phone, Zhou Rongrong was clearly distressed. "Son, your mother''s phone works fine. It seems a bit wasteful to buy a new one," "These days, even a decent phone costs more than a thousand bucks." Li Zhiyan shook his head. "Mom, I''ll buy you a Samsung, mainly because if you use a smartphone, I can send you photos to check in while I''m out having fun." Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong was no longer worried about the expense. If her son was far away, her heart would surely be anxious all the time; if she could see photos, it would make a difference. "Well alright, mom will wait here for you." "Go buy it." Afterward, Li Zhiyan went to the Samsung gship store outside of themunity. He came back with a Samsung phone, the same model as his, and at the same time, he got a new 3G card at the mobile operator''s store. "Mom, look, we have the same phone model, but I chose pink for you because it''s for girls," "Mine is ck." Zhou Rongrong''s pretty face was filled with a gentle smile, and her eyes twinkled with maternal warmth.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Her son had truly grown up. "Xiao Yan, how much did the phone cost?" "3400." After unboxing the phone, Li Zhiyan helped his mother trim the SIM card, and then he set up the new Samsung phone. "Mom, I''ll download QQ for you." "You might not be used to a smartphone at first, but you''ll get the hang of it after a little while." Li Zhiyan sat down with Zhou Rongrong, leaning into her embrace, and taught his mother how to use the smartphone. Just like when he was little, and his mom taught him how to read bit by bit. Watching this scene of motherly love and filial piety, Wu Qingxian felt the utmost envy. Such a happy family¡ªher own son didn''t have such an attitude towards her at all. Let alone bringing her gifts, her son had never even celebrated her birthday with a present. Whenever she refused to give him money for branded goods he wanted, he would throw a tantrum. Inparison, Li Zhiyan was just too good. "Mom, look, you just click here to take a photo." "Then hit confirm, send it to me, and I can see the picture you sent." "You can also see the ones I send you." "From now on, just use this phone number." "I''ve already taken care of the monthly data n for you." Zhou Rongrong, looking at the photos her son had sent, felt reassured in her heart. That way, even if her son was away, she could still be aware of his whereabouts. "Okay, then mom is going out to have fun with Wu Auntie now." Zhou Rongrong knew Wu Qingxian had things on her mind, so she intended to spend more time going out with her. "Goodbye mom." ... As they left the house, Wu Qingxian said enviously, "Rongrong, honestly, I''m really envious of you." "It''s just we women, and you''ve given birth to such a good son." "He''s so patient with you; it seems that ''mother''s boys'' are actually better." Zhou Rongrong still replied with a gentle smile. "Being a mother''s boy is both good and bad, but he might get disliked by his wifeter on because of it." "I''m a bit worried about that. My son is too attached to me." "I wonder if that will be a problem when he''s looking for a partner, being a mama''s boy and all." Wu Qingxian felt somewhat helpless. "I wish my son was a mama''s boy," "Unfortunately, he barely pays me any attention." "He only ever asks me for money, and since he started university, the amount he asks for has only increased." "His monthly expenses are over two thousand yuan." Hearing this, Zhou Rongrong was also shocked... More than two thousand yuan; that seemed excessively high. She knew very well that even after her best friend changed jobs to a newpany, she earned just over four thousand. She still had to cover rent, utilities, and living expenses. If she gave out more than two thousand a month for living expenses, then she wouldn''t have much left at all. Chapter 287 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_3 "What could you possibly spend over two thousand dors on?" Zhou Rongrong found it somewhat incredible, as if her own son who was so good at earning money had never been wasteful or extravagant. Zhou Rongrong could tell that Li Zhiyan was very disciplined with his money. He didn''t squander his wealth like some nouveau riche. That''s why Zhou Rongrong felt so at ease about her son. "It''s just that he usually likes to buy some branded clothes and stuff." "If I don''t give him the money, he gets angry." Zhou Rongrong didn''t know what to say, her close friend felt morose every day, indeed for a reason. Having such a son would likely upset anyone. "It''ll get better, the kid is just young." "Hopefully..." Wu Qingxian tried to put on a brave smile, her heart growing even fonder of Li Zhiyan. Unfortunately, another''s son is still another''s son. He might buy his mother a phone, but he wouldn''t buy one for her, and she had no right to expect any gifts from him. Her birthday was approaching, and it would surely be another lonely night. ... Having groomed himself, Li Zhiyan was about to leave the house when he received a call from Shen Rongfei. "Xiao Yan." "Are you ready? Auntie will pick you up, and we''ll go to the train station." Because Su Mengchen had trouble walking, Shen Rongfei still decided to drive herself as it would be more convenient. After they arrived at the train station, finding a paid parking lot to park the car would suffice. "Okay, you cane over; I''m at Left Bank Garden." Hearing Left Bank Garden, Shen Rongfei was also somewhat surprised. "Xiao Yan, did you buy a house at Left Bank Garden?" Although Left Bank Garden wasn''t considered luxury housing, it was a notch above the average residential areas. She had previously considered buying a 140-square-meter unit there. But in the end, she chose arger apartment here. "Yes, my mom and I have always been renting a ce. Living in someone else''s house just doesn''t feelfortable, so after I earned some money, I bought a new apartment here." In therge apartment, Shen Rongfei paced back and forth with her pair of ck silk-d beautiful legs. As she watched her daughter getting ready with makeup, she felt astounded. Every time she thought of Li Zhiyan''s aplishments, her heart couldn''t stay calm. In business, Li Zhiyan was truly a natural talent. If he were a second-generation rich kid, then earning enough for a house at 18 would be quite normal, as wealthy families can afford the cost and risk of their children''s frivolities. But Li Zhiyan came from a single-parent family. Being able to afford a house at 18 was practically a miracle in this day and age, and Shen Rongfei was thoroughly satisfied with this prospective son-inw. Moreover, she could genuinely feel that he truly liked her daughter very much. During this trip to Suciity, she definitely had to try her best to create opportunities for her daughter and him. Perhaps they couldn''t establish a rtionship immediately, but she had to bring them closer; only then would her own heart be at ease. "Then, when we''re about to arrive, Auntie will call you." "Okay, mom." ... After hanging up, Shen Rongfei went to Su Mengchen''s bedroom, where Su Mengchen had just finished applying eyeliner. Already a beauty with a score of nine, she now looked stunningly breathtaking. However,pared to Shen Rongfei, the gap was considerable; Shen Rongfei was truly too beautiful. Beauties like Fang Zhiya and Jiang Xian were indeed very pretty, but Shen Rongfei was the beauty among beauties. Her naturally gorgeous allure was just toopelling... "Chenchen, you dressed up so beautifully today. It looks like your fondness for Li Zhiyan is quite significant," Shen Rongfeimented. With flushed cheeks, Su Mengchen shyly lowered her head. "Mom, do you think he''ll like the way I''ve dressed up?" Obviously, under Li Zhiyan''s persistent conversations, Su Mengchen''s defenses had lowered significantly. "He will for sure. My daughter is so pretty, how could he not like her?" "And he told mom,"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "He really wants to be with you. Every time he sees me now, he''s calling me ''mom''." "That alone shows how sincere he is in his heart." Once again, Su Mengchen was so bashful she couldn''t utter a word. "Alright, Chenchen, let''s go meet Li Zhiyan." "Okay..." With a serious nod, Su Mengchen affirmed. On the way, she was constantly battling the insecure and timid part of herself. She had developed the desire to be with Li Zhiyan. But oveing oneself was no easy task. After the Mercedes-Benz S arrived outside the Left Bank Gardenmunity, Shen Rongfei parked the car. From a distance, she saw the tall and handsome Li Zhiyan running towards them. "Mom." Li Zhiyan greeted Shen Rongfei enthusiastically as ''mom.'' In that instant, Su Mengchen, sitting in the back seat, began to blush again. He loved calling her mother ''mom.'' It was to show his determination to be with her, wasn''t it? "You go sit in the back, next to Chenchen. Let''s hit the road." "Okay." After Li Zhiyan settled in the seat, Shen Rongfei started driving. Li Zhiyan nced at Su Mengchen''s outfit for the day; indeed, she had dressed ording to his tastes. JK uniforms with short skirts, that unique youthful charm of a young girl was fully embodied in her. Chapter 288 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_4 Those wless, snowy legs were making Li Zhiyan struggle to look away. Once the time was right, he would have to properly kiss those beautiful legs that belonged to him. "Chenchen, the light makeup you applied today looks really pretty." "And you''re dressed nicely too." Even though thepliments were very straightforward, Li Zhiyan was very clear. Su Mengchen needed such praise to regain her sense of confidence. "Hmm..." Su Mengchen responded softly, still shy, but clearly in a much better state than before.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om After the car drove to the train station, Aunt Shen dropped the two off by a paid parking lot and then went to park the car. She was very grateful to Li Zhiyan in her heart, as he had been praising her daughter all the way there. If he did not truly like her, based on his current status, he wouldn''t need to be so attentive towards her daughter. After all, he was so handsome, plenty of girls would throw themselves at him if he wanted. ... "Chenchen, hold on to my arm tightly in a bit." "Don''t get lost, the train station is chaotic with all sorts of people, and swindlers are everywhere." "So be very careful." Li Zhiyan''s words startled Su Mengchen; she had always been well-protected by Aunt Shen, and now she instinctively grabbed Li Zhiyan''s arm, seeking a sense of safety. The silky contact sent ripples through Li Zhiyan''s heart, but fortunately, his self-control had improved a lot by now. Unlike the time when he had first been reborn and couldn''t control himself at all. "Mm..." "I got it." Aunt Shen, who came over with a backpack after parking the car, was surprised to see her daughter now holding Li Zhiyan''s hand. This was indeed a significant progress. "Chenchen, Xiao Yan, let''s go." As they walked, Aunt Shen felt very pleased, walking with the two children gave her the sense of a family of three. And because Li Zhiyan always called her mom, Aunt Shen subconsciously started to think of Li Zhiyan as her own son. The train station was incredibly crowded; Su Mengchen kept holding tightly to Li Zhiyan''s arm, worried someone might drag her away. After they checked their tickets and entered, there were hardly any seats left in the station. They found a corner to stand in. Looking at his mother-inw, d in ck tights, high heels, and a red skirt, Li Zhiyan said with concern, "Mom, if your feet hurt, I can give them a rub after we get to Sucity." Li Zhiyan was exceedingly filial to Aunt Shen; he treated her with the same respect as he would his real mother. "Alright, Xiao Yan, I''ll trouble you then." Aunt Shen didn''t pretend to be strong; no matter how experienced one is, wearing high heels is tiring... And Li Zhiyan''s skills in traditional Chinese medicine were indeed very remarkable; his hands seemed to possess a unique magic. Before long, it was time to board. The three of them got on the train, and Su Mengchen felt a little uneasy. Surrounded by so many people, as it was her first time leaving the province, she seemed out of her element. "Mom, Chenchen, you two sit inside, I''ll sit on the outside." "The trains are just too crowded these days." Aunt Shen felt a warmth and touched in her heart; this child was really good at taking care of others. "Okay." Su Mengchen took the innermost seat, while Aunt Shen sat in the middle. As Li Zhiyan sat down next to Aunt Shen, he felt very much at ease. In his previous life, after his mother passed away, the person who had been the kindest to him was undoubtedly Aunt Shen. In this life, he had to protect this elder and ensure she suffered no harm. When their eyes met, Aunt Shen was momentarily dazed. From Li Zhiyan''s gaze, Aunt Shen sensed aplex emotion. It was like he was looking at a long-lost rtive. Did he think of her as family in his heart? Thinking about how Li Zhiyan always called her mom, Aunt Shen''s heart inexplicably felt a bit sour. Although she didn''t know why... Aunt Shen always had this feeling that he truly cared about her. Had she and he gone through something together? Yet Aunt Shen couldn''t remember anything. In her bemusement, Aunt Shen found it all quite headache-inducing. But... if she couldn''t figure it out, she might as well not think about it. Having such a person appear in her daughter''s life was, after all, a stroke of fortune. ... Your next chapter awaits on empire Once the train arrived in Sucity, Li Zhiyan saw the sea of people at the train station and also found it to be quite a headache. Traveling during the holidays really wasn''t a smart decision. One imagines traveling involves leisurely strolls and enjoyment to the fullest, but the reality is spending eight out of ten hours queuing for public restrooms. "Let''s find a hotel to check in first, and then go out to y after lunch," said Li Zhiyan, attentively listening to Aunt Shen''s words and looking at the task''s due time, he was also making ns toplete the task. He had to secure that hundred thousand yuan. And he needed to protect his mother-inw and not keep Su Yu''s infidelity a secret forever. At the very least, he should prepare Aunt Shen mentally, so she wouldn''t be so tragically deceived in the future. After arriving at a slightly upscale hotel by taxi, Chapter 289 122 A warm moment between mother and child, bought the same pink Samsung for mom_5 They checked into two rooms. During the National Day holiday, ordinary hotels in a city like Sucity were essentially fully booked. However, the lives of the wealthy never involve waiting in line. After settling his bag, Li Zhiyan went to the neighboring room. By this time, Shen Rongfei was already lying on the couch, her long, slender, ck-stockinged legs very eye-catching. "Chenchen, how do you like Sucity?" Li Zhiyan sat down beside Shen Rongfei and asked Su Mengchen. Sitting on the opposite couch, Su Mengchen said timidly, "I just feel a bit unustomed, I''ve never left the province before, but I feel very safe with your mom by my side." Find more to read at empire Surprise filled the beautiful face of Shen Rongfei. Her daughter was now able to converse with Li Zhiyan so much... Compared to before, there had been a huge change. "That''s good, Chenchen, I will take you to many ces to have fun in the future." Su Mengchen, looking down, didn''t dare to look at Li Zhiyan, her shyness far surpassing Fang Zhiya''s.N?v(el)B\\jnn Fang Zhiya''s timidity stemmed from her traditional inner values. While Su Mengchen''s shyness was because she was just an 18-year-old girl. "Mom, do your feet hurt?" "You stood for so long at the train station today and walked such a long way in Sucity, they must be ufortable, right?" Li Zhiyan knew his mother-inw was very particr about high heels. Except when driving in ts, she would wear high heels no matter how tired she was. But it was her attachment to ck stockings that was the deepest. She would wear them at all times. "Hmm, a little." "Then let me give you a massage." Looking at Li Zhiyan, Shen Rongfei nodded her head. "Okay..." After that, Li Zhiyan gently picked up Shen Rongfei''s two pairs of ck-stockinged feet and rested them on hisp. His heart truly ached for his elders. Aunt Shen meant too much to him, so if she was in pain, he had to help relieve it. After taking hold of Shen Rongfei''s ankle, Li Zhiyan began to massage it gently. Even though he was massaging feet, Li Zhiyan was a filial child. He didn''t mind Shen Rongfei''s at all and was, in fact, very diligent. "Mom, is the pressure okay?" "It''s fine..." Shen Rongfei closed her eyes, a mysterious expression on her beautiful face. This child was really filial, always keeping her in his thoughts. Such a filial child, she must make him her son-inw. Watching Li Zhiyan massage her mom, Su Mengchen also felt very blessed: Li Zhiyan was not only good to her but also very good to her mom. If... if she married him in the future, life would definitely be blissful. After a long while, Li Zhiyan finally let go of Shen Rongfei. "Mom, do you feel less pain in your ankle now?" "Much better, the pain is gone now, Xiao Yan, you are really amazing." Looking at the time, Shen Rongfei stood up and put on her favorite pair of ck high heels with red soles. Then she said to the two kids, "Let''s go have dinner." "Okay." The three of them arrived at the hotel''s restaurant where countless gazes were drawn to the mother and daughter. Especially a beautiful woman like Shen Rongfei, truly a rare sight in reality. Shen Rongfei handed the menu to Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen. At this moment, Li Zhiyan was already thinking about gathering evidence of Su Yu''s infidelity. His own cell phone could capture it... All he had to do was follow the system''s instructions toplete the task. After all, Su Yu didn''t even know him at this point in time, so he could openly gather evidence. Chapter 291 123 tirelessly mends shoes, Shen Rongfei is moved to acknowledge her as a mother_2 ... Following the system''s prompt, Li Zhiyan arrived at the other side of the garden. It didn''t take long for him to find Su Yu, who looked schrly with his sses on. At that moment, Su Yu was holding hands with a dark-skinned woman, looking very affectionate.N?v(el)B\\jnn Li Zhiyan found this scene iprehensible; it seemed a little too preposterous. The mother-inw was so stunningly beautiful that no man in this world could resist her charm. Yet Su Yu had chosen a mistress who was quite ordinary-looking. This mistress''s appearance was clearly just average. Suddenly, Li Zhiyan remembered that many wealthy people''s mistresses often paled inparison to their wives. Could it be because the mistresses were more eloquent? As these thoughts came to him, Li Zhiyan also felt curious. He took out his Samsung phone, pretending to be a passerby taking photos of the scenery. Because many tourists were doing the same, Su Yu did not be suspicious. After all, he had never met Li Zhiyan. As Li Zhiyan passed by Su Yu, he captured the image of Su Yu and his mistress holding hands. At that moment, the mistress unexpectedly leaned in and kissed Su Yu''s face. Su Yu reciprocated with a kiss on her face. This took Li Zhiyan by surprise. But at the same time, he also felt delighted... He hadn''t expected such a fortuitous turn of events; this made the evidence even more solid. After capturing the footage and passing by Su Yu, he clicked save, and his ount bnce reached 860,000. He was only 140,000 away from a million in cash. "This mission really is fortunate, it''s been so easy toplete..." "Next, I just have to wait for the mother-inw''s high heel to break, and then glue it back together." After wandering for a while, Li Zhiyan returned to Shen Rongfei''s side. At that time, a Frenchman was trying to chat with Shen Rongfei in Mandarin. Although Shen Rongfei was declining, he showed no signs of leaving. This annoyed Shen Rongfei. Li Zhiyan approached and scared off the foreigner with a few words in French; the foreigner took one look at the subtle outline of abs under Li Zhiyan''s T-shirt and tactfully walked away. Shen Rongfei looked at Li Zhiyan in utter surprise. She couldn''t quite believe what she was seeing. "Xiao Yan, you speak French?" Shen Rongfei was quite proficient in English because her business often led her to interact with foreign clients. But she had no clue about French. So, when she heard Li Zhiyan speak French, she was somewhat astonished. "Yeah, I studied French for a while." "I even worked part-time as a French trantor during the summer holidays." Surprise filled Su Mengchen''s eyes as well. She hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to have been a French trantor. "Mom, let''s go check out the right side." Li Zhiyan also wanted to tell his mother-inw about Su Yu''s affair directly. But clearly, now was not a good time, they were out to have fun, and Chenchen was also there. He decided to wait until they were back in Wancheng to find an opportunity to tell her. For now, it was better to keep Shen Rongfei and Su Yu apart; if they bumped into each other at this moment, the trip would likely turn unpleasant... "Okay." Shen Rongfei respected Li Zhiyan''s opinion. The group headed to another area until Li Zhiyan saw Su Yu leaving the garden with the unkempt mistress; then he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how Su Yu looked quite haggard¡ªit seemed he and the mistress hadn''t spared themselves the night before. After that, Li Zhiyan visited two ancient buildings and one General''s Mansion with Shen Rongfei and Su Mengchen. Sucity''s ancient gardens were just too numerous. Li Zhiyan felt a bit dazzled by it all. As they left the General''s Mansion in the evening, Shen Rongfei''s high heel broke unexpectedly. Read chapters at empire A wave of pain shot through her, and she sat down on the ground. The sudden disy of suffering from her mother left Su Mengchen feeling a bit panicked. She instinctively looked at Li Zhiyan for help. "Mom, are you okay?" Li Zhiyan checked and saw that Shen Rongfei''s sprain wasn''t serious, but her high heels werepletely ruined. Normal shoe glue wouldn''t be able to fix these high heels as their heels were particrly slim. "I''m fine." "Let me press it for you." Li Zhiyan gently grasped Shen Rongfei''s foot and started massaging it. He found this skill to be incredibly practical, as it had proved to be very important numerous times. As Li Zhiyan continued massaging, the painful feeling slowly dissipated. Shen Rongfei closed her eyes, her mind recalling that her mother had given her these high heels as a birthday gift when she was 18, which made her feel very heartbroken. With both her parents deceased from illness, the only keepsake of her mother was these high heels. And now they were broken. After a while, as the pain faded, Shen Rongfei picked up her high heels and the broken heel. A sense of sadness spread in her heart, and she felt stifled and wanted to cry, but in front of her children, she felt she couldn''t let herself cry. "Mom, I''ll carry you back. Let''s return to the hotel." Shen Rongfei didn''t want to appear so vulnerable in front of her children, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to let Li Zhiyan carry her. Chapter 292 123 tirelessly mends shoes, Shen Rongfei is moved to acknowledge her as a mother_3 After Li Zhiyan squatted down in front of Shen Rongfei, she slowly leaned onto his back and hugged his neck. Then, he gently supported Shen Rongfei''s legs, and together with Su Mengchen, they walked toward the outside. To amodate Su Mengchen, he walked slowly. Looking at Li Zhiyan by her side, Su Mengchen felt an unprecedented sense of security. If it wasn''t for Li Zhiyan by her side just now, she really wouldn''t have known what to do. ... After they arrived at the hotel, Li Zhiyan once again carried Shen Rongfei down from the taxi. Stay connected via empire "Xiao Yan, could you go buy a pair of sports shoes for Auntie?" "Sure, let me take you upstairs first." After Li Zhiyan bent over and carried Shen Rongfei to the hotel room, he went to a nearby clothing store and came back with a pair of pink sports shoes. Shen Rongfei took the sports shoes and gently slid her silky feet into them. "Chenchen, you rest here, Mommy has some errands to run." "Xiao Yan, please stay here and keep Chenchenpany." Aunt Shen''s heart still desired to create some alone time for Li Zhiyan. However, it was already getting dark, and in the bustling Sucity, Li Zhiyan really didn''t dare to let Shen Rongfei go out alone. "Mom, let me apany you." "It''s a good opportunity for me to protect your safety." "Okay..." Shen Rongfei hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed to Li Zhiyan''s request to follow. After instructing Su Mengchen not to leave the house, she left the hotel with Li Zhiyan. "Aunt Shen, those high heels are very important to you, aren''t they?" Walking along the street, Li Zhiyan asked softly. Shen Rongfei''s beautiful eyes held a hint of surprise; she always felt that Li Zhiyan understood her well, as if he knew what she was thinking. "Yes." "These high heels have an extraordinary significance for Auntie." "They were a birthday present from my mother when I was 18." "That''s why I want to get these shoes repaired." "However, I reckon the chances are slim, the heels are too thin." "Once they break, it''s hard to find a way to fix them." "Auntie also wants to give it a try now." Regret was written all over Shen Rongfei''s enchanting and seductive face. These high heels were simply too important to her. While they talked, the two of them arrived at a shoe repair stand. "Brother, can these high heels be fixed?" The shoe repair master nced at them and then shook his head. "These heels are too thin." "It''s impossible to fix them; even if they were repaired, they would only be good for disy, not for wearing." "Wearing them would certainly cause them to break again." As expected... Hearing the master''s words, sadness involuntarily welled up in Shen Rongfei''s heart. These shoes, it seemed, would no longer belong to her. In the time that followed, Shen Rongfei took Li Zhiyan to several shoe repair stands and some shops. Nobody was able to repair the high heels. After walking out of a shop, Shen Rongfei lowered her head. The sorrow and sadness in her eyes werepletely unmistakable. "Mom, don''t be upset. Actually, I could give it a try." "I learned a bit about shoe repair in the past." "If I can find the right materials for the adhesive." "I think I should be able to repair your high heels." In that instant, Shen Rongfei felt as though she had seen hope. Under such circumstances, she had alreadypletely despaired, but now Li Zhiyan suddenly told her he could try? "Xiao Yan, you''re not joking with Auntie, are you?" "Of course not. Apart from studying, there are a few other things I know a little about." After some thought, Shen Rongfei decided to believe in Li Zhiyan''s words. This child seemed to be very smart in every aspect, achieving quite a bit in every field... The only thing he didn''t like was studying; otherwise, with his intelligence, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University probably wouldn''t have been a big issue. "Then this matter, Auntie entrusts it to you. This pair of shoes is very important to me..." Before Shen Rongfei could finish, Li Zhiyan took her hand. "Mom, rest assured, in my heart, you''re just like my own mother. I will definitely do my utmost to help you with this." "Let''s go find the materials and cook up the adhesive now."N?v(el)B\\jnn Li Zhiyan''s adhesive-making skills were excellent, creating exceptionally firm shoe glue, but at the same time, the needed materials were rather intricate, aplex craft. It seemed he would be quite busy today. Moved by Li Zhiyan''s filial piety, Shen Rongfei feltpletely touched. "Alright..." In the time that followed, Li Zhiyan went everywhere with Shen Rongfei in search of materials. When the final material was found by Li Zhiyan, it was already past nine in the evening. Even though she wore sports shoes, Shen Rongfei felt some pain in her feet. "Xiao Yan, do we have enough now?" "Yes, Aunt Shen, let''s find a ce to cook the adhesive." After looking around for a while, Li Zhiyan rented a stand from a small vendor whose business wasn''t doing well and started to cook the adhesive. Li Zhiyan''s skills in making adhesive were strong, after all, they were learned automatically through a system, so he had fullmand of every procedure. The shoe glue he cooked had no odor at all. His adept movements... made Shen Rongfei marvel once again at Li Zhiyan''s talent. Not only was this child able to repair shoes and make adhesive, but he also seemed to be adept at everything except studying. The milky white shoe adhesive slowly took shape in the pot, and hope began to rise in Shen Rongfei''s heart. Chapter 295 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again Li Zhiyan could feel that, at this moment, his mother-inw had thoroughly epted him. And she even called him her son. The moment he had been waiting for had finallye. In his previous life, his mother-inw had been so good to him that, in Li Zhiyan''s heart, she was just like his own mother. "Mom..." "Alright, son, mom''s going to rest now, we''ll head back to Wancheng tomorrow." "Tomorrow morning, mom will go out shopping to create some alone time for you and Chenchen." Li Zhiyan hummed in response; pursuing a girl was not an easy task. However, with the support of his mother-inw, it was apletely different concept. After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart; their fates are tightly linked, so as long as Shen Rongfei helped him, things would be much easier for him. "Hmm, good night, mom." "Good night, son..." Shen Rongfei touched Li Zhiyan''s face, thoroughly epting him in her heart as her own son.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ... Afterward, Li Zhiyan took a bath,y on the hotel bed, and called Jiang Xian. "Auntie Jiang." "What are you doing?" At that moment, Jiang Xian was in the little house, reading the touching story she had read many times over. "Xiao Yan." During National Day, business was slow in the store, so her heart felt especially deste, especially when she saw other families of three pass by, she would feel incredibly envious. But now, she no longer had a family of three. Her husband and son, they were hardly rted to her anymore. The things they had done had truly chilled her heart. Experience exclusive tales on empire "Auntie justy down not long ago, there wasn''t much business in the store today, so I closed up early." Listening to Auntie Jiang''s voice, Li Zhiyan''s heart felt extremely peaceful. "Yes, Auntie Jiang, during National Day, everyone went out, mostly on trips. The college town usually has a big customer flow, but it''s normal to have no one now." "I''ming home tomorrow and will keep youpany then." Hearing Li Zhiyan woulde to apany her, Jiang Xian''s heart was incredibly moved. This child truly had her on his mind. "Good, but Auntie''s heart is indeed feeling a bit down today." "What''s wrong?" Li Zhiyan, a person with a delicate heart, knew Auntie Jiang must be feeling down because she saw other happy families while she had to work alone in her store during the holiday. The thought made his heart ache profoundly. "Perhaps because I saw otherplete families going out today, Auntie is 41 already but has ended up alone again this year, my life feels like a failure." He could hear the sorrow in Jiang Xian''s voice. Li Zhiyanforted her, "Auntie Jiang, don''t think too much." "Life always holds countless possibilities, but this matter isn''t your fault." "It has nothing to do with you." "You are the victim in this marriage. Now that it has happened, we can only face it." Listening to Li Zhiyan''sfort, Jiang Xian vaguely felt that Li Zhiyan was the person she could rely on for a lifetime. "And besides, it doesn''t matter if there isn''t a family of three." "In the future, you can have a child for me, and we will be a family of three as well." "We have already yed our rge ount''; it''s time to start a ''small ount'' together." Even though they were miles apart, Li Zhiyan''s joke still made Jiang Xian''s cheeks flush with red. Good heavens, what was Xiao Yan saying, but her heart inexplicably longed for his words. Xiao Yan was so handsome, young, and with hormones and a body at his prime. If she got pregnant at his age, surely she could have a very, very beautiful child. Although she was 41, her body was very healthy, now was the time she most needed love to nourish her. ording to her health, having a child was not a problem at all. Thinking this, Jiang Xian realized her thoughts had wandered far off. The flush on her cheeks became more apparent, and her heart subconsciously longed for Li Zhiyan. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to have children with you?" Li Zhiyan said with augh, "Of course it''s you. Auntie Jiang, you have to think quickly about us being together. I''m getting a bit impatient." "I really wish I could hold you every night." Thinking about Jiang Xian''s 36D figure, Li Zhiyan''s heart yearned deeply. "Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Yan, Auntie is hanging up now." After the call ended, Li Zhiyan could tell that Auntie Jiang was clearly shy. Ever since Auntie Jiang took him to visit the cafeteria. Their story was destined not to stop there; women are like that. Especially a traditional mature woman like Auntie Jiang was particrly so. After the call, Li Zhiyan phoned Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang." "How are things at home?" Lying in her bedroom, Fang Zhiya, although feeling the room was empty and somewhat deste, was considering Xiao Yan would stille to apany her. Thereby Fang Zhiya felt twenty percent happy and fulfilled. "Good, Xiao Yan, Auntie has something to tell you." "Auntie''s ''rtive'' has arrived." Previously, Fang Zhiya was a bit afraid of getting pregnant without proper preparation. But now that her ''rtive'' had arrived, she nevertheless felt a bit of loss. Chapter 296 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_2 Her body was the type that found it difficult to conceive; despite Xiao Yan''s significant help in the past, she still hadn''t fallen pregnant. Thinking about it, she couldn''t help but feel very worried. Li Zhiyan could hear the disappointment in Fang Zhiya''s voice. "It''s alright..." "Aunt Fang." "There''s plenty of time ahead of us. Getting pregnant is a matter of chance, and although we haven''t seeded this time, there''s every month in the future to keep trying every day." "If that doesn''t work, we''ll make up for quality with quantity." Discover stories at empire "We will definitely conceive." Considering that Li Zhiyan was just 18 with boundless energy, Fang Zhiya quietly hummed in agreement. "Alright, sweetheart, Auntie understands." "Let''s give it our all after seven days." Then Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya talked about some happy matters, easing her worry. Li Zhiyan finally hung up the phone with peace of mind. As soon as the call ended, his mother''s phone rang. "Hello." "Son." "Are you getting ustomed to being outside?" This call was expected by Li Zhiyan; he knew his mother was aware he was a mama''s boy who thought about her every day. This being his first time out of the province from his mother''s perspective, naturally she would be very concerned about him. "I''m getting used to it, Mom; don''t worry." "I''m doing well in Sucity, and I''lle back tomorrow afternoon to keep youpany." In the master bedroom, Zhou Rongrong looked at the dim light of the nightmp and felt incredibly happy. "Xiao Yan." "You''re so grown up, yet you still think about your mom all the time." "Of course, I have to think about you, Mom. If not you, who else in this world can I turn to?" "Don''t worry, Mom, I''ll take some photos for you when I have time tomorrow." "Okay, son, it''ste. Go to sleep." After hanging up, Li Zhiyan took a selfie and sent it to his mother. Lying in the bedroom, Zhou Rongrong heard the QQ notification and knew her son had sent a message. Only her son would message her at this hour. After opening the photo sent by Li Zhiyan and looking at his handsome appearance. Zhou Rongrong closed her eyes, her heart brimming with happiness. Her son might have been ordinary before, but she loved him dearly. Just having him by her side made her heart feel at ease. And now, with her son being so handsome and outstanding, she truly had something to look forward to in the future. ... Later, before going to sleep, Li Zhiyan called Wu Qingxian.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Xiao Yan!" At that moment, Wu Qingxian had just finished wiping her body with a towel and was lying on the bamboo mat to enjoy the coolness. She hadn''t expected Li Zhiyan to call her at this time. Her heart was thrilled to the extreme. The boy still kept her in mind. "Xiao Yan, is there something you need from Auntie?" "No, Wu Auntie, I''m just calling to check up on you." "To see how you''re feeling. I''ll be back in Wancheng tomorrow and will be avable to keep youpany when you''re free." Li Zhiyan''s sincere words made Wu Qingxian''s eyes moisten. Recently, she had the feeling that her own son, Zhang Honglei, didn''t hold her in his heart. He only came to her when he needed money. But Li Zhiyan knew she was feeling down and still thought of her. "I understand, Xiao Yan." "Auntie will miss you." After chatting for a while, they ended their call. Wu Qingxiany back down, her mind filled with images of Li Zhiyan and even the memory of him as a little boy in split pants. Suddenly, Wu Qingxian remembered something, pulled open the bedside table drawer, and took out a photo album. Turning page by page, she found a picture of herself and Li Zhiyan from their childhood. He was still a baby back then and wore split pants. He looked particrly funny... "Xiao Yan, when did you grow up so much?" Thinking that Li Zhiyan had already turned 18 and that she herself was 40, Wu Qingxian felt a bittersweet sadness in her heart. ... Just before Li Zhiyan nned to go to sleep, the system released a new task. "New task released." "Because Zhang Honglei squandered all his remaining money in front of his female ssmates," "he wille to Wu Qingxian for five thousand yuan tomorrow night." "After being refused, Zhang Honglei will furiously snatch away a thousand yuan, m the door, and leave." "Please go tofort Wu Qingxian." "Task reward: one hundred thousand yuan in cash." Seeing the reward of one hundred thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan uncontrobly excited. His savings were about to surpass one million again! This time, umting a million happened much faster than before. If he continued at this rate, the speed of his wealth umtion would only increase. Thinking about apany that earns millions a year, Li Zhiyan began to fantasize about such a scene in his mind. However, Zhang Honglei was really despicable. In such a hurry to let all his mother''s love shift to Li Zhiyan. In the future, Li Zhiyan would have to thank him. The next day, after waking up, Li Zhiyan was still surging with vitality, a perfect 18-year-old. After washing up, Li Zhiyan went next door and knocked on the door. "Mom!" "Son, Mommy is here." Afterst night''s hectic efforts to fix a high-heel shoe for her, Shen Rongfei hadpletely taken Li Zhiyan in as her own son. Sitting in front of the mirror applying makeup, Su Mengchen''s pretty face blushed slightly. Chapter 297 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_3 Mom actually called Li Zhiyan her son! Although Li Zhiyan had always referred to his own mother as "Mom," she had never responded, always calling herself "Auntie." Today, not only did she call Li Zhiyan "son," but she also referred to herself as "Mom." Could it be that Mom had already decided to marry her off to Li Zhiyan? As she thought about it, Su Mengchen''s pretty face began to flush with heat once again. "Mom, let''s go eat," "Sure, my son, wait for Mengchen to finish putting on her makeup; Chenchen, hurry up." "Okay..." Su Mengchen agreed, not even realizing that when she was with her mother and Li Zhiyan, her tendencies toward social withdrawal seemed to be slowly disappearing. After finishing thest step of her light makeup, Su Mengchen walked towards Li Zhiyan bit by bit. "Does it look good..." "You look beautiful, Chenchen." "It''s mainly because you are beautiful." Li Zhiyan knew that 18 was the age when a girl was most youthful. At this time, Su Mengchen''s skin was so tender that it could be pinched to produce water. Even without makeup, she was exceptionally beautiful. Although her limp was a w for Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan truly didn''t mind it at all in his heart. Feeling shy, Su Mengchen dared not look at Li Zhiyan and went to Shen Rongfei, grabbing her arm. At this moment, Shen Rongfei''s heart was filled with immense surprise brought by Li Zhiyan; ever since he appeared in her daughter''s life, her daughter had begun tomunicate with him proactively. If this trend continued, her daughter''s social withdrawal could definitely be cured. "All right, Chenchen, no need to be shy, let''s go eat," Moving her pair of silky legs, the three of them walked towards the restaurant together. "Mom, are your high heels still sturdy?" "Are theyfortable to wear?" Regarding the shoe-repairing skill provided by the system, Li Zhiyan knew there would be no issues. Now he was just inquiring about Shen Rongfei''s feeling about them. "They''re sturdy, Xiao Yan. The glue you madest night was really amazing; it adhered seamlessly." "Mom checked this morning and found out they really seem as if they were never broken at all." "Thinking about it, I find it miraculous; you really know how to do everything." "Not only do you know French, do business, but you even know how to repair shoes!" In the eyes of her future mother-inw, full of the charm of a foxydy, there was full adoration for Li Zhiyan. She had never had a son in her life, but having Li Zhiyan as a son, she felt truly content with her life... Thinking about it, she felt herself to be so fortunate. Admiration filled Su Mengchen''s beautiful eyes at this moment. Li Zhiyan indeed seemed to know everything. They sat down in the restaurant, which was evidently much more crowded today than yesterday. After ordering the meal, Shen Rongfei looked at her daughter and Li Zhiyan, and felt increasingly that the two children were so well-matched for each other. Moreover, in a sense, Li Zhiyan liking her daughter seemed like her daughter was punching above her weight. After all, there was the issue of her daughter''s limp. This was something that could not be overlooked no matter what. "Chenchen, Mom has some errands to run this morning. After that," "we''ll return to Wancheng." "There will be a lot to take care of at thepany." Although it was the National Day holiday, there was still plenty to do given the scale of Shen Rongfei''spany. This trip had been for her precious daughter''s sake. However, this trip not only allowed her to spend time with her daughter, but also gained her a son. A son she wholeheartedly acknowledged and was willing to call her own. "So you should spend the morning ying with Li Zhiyan." "Let him take you out for a stroll." Instinctively, Su Mengchen felt extremely nervous about the idea of Li Zhiyan taking her out. However, thinking that her mother probably had business matters to attend to, Su Mengchen nodded gently. She was no longer a child and didn''t want to be a constant trouble to her mother. So she decided to listen to her mother. "Okay..." Su Mengchen agreed, but her heart kept thumping wildly. After breakfast, Shen Rongfei gave Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen some instructions and then left home. Thinking of the children happily spending time together, her heart felt at peace. It was also a good day to properly test the fixed high heels. The feeling of regaining something lost was just too good. After Shen Rongfei had left, Li Zhiyan looked at the shy girl in front of him and said, "Chenchen, how about we go boating on theke?" "Um..." Su Mengchen just nodded softly; as long as she was with Li Zhiyan, she felt very at ease. "Alright, let''s go." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire Li Zhiyan took Su Mengchen by taxi to a nearbyke. Upon arrival, many visitors were already strolling by theke, waiting to board the boats.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Even though the weather was still very hot, there was a hint of coolness by theke. Ever since she became aware, Su Mengchen had never gone out to y. Today, being out with Li Zhiyan, that feeling of happiness was almost too much to contain. "Chenchen, when we get back to Wancheng, I will oftene to y with you. You should get out more frequently," Su Mengchen whispered, "Okay, Li Zhiyan, I understand." She walked slowly, trying to make her walk look more graceful. The two queued up by theke, chatting as they waited. Although Su Mengchen still couldn''t chat like a normal person, Li Zhiyan could clearly feel a change. Chapter 298 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_4 Her condition had improved significantly. After buying tickets, Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen walked toward the boat together. Because there were many people behind them, Su Mengchen walked somewhat hastily. However, because she walked rather quickly, Su Mengchen''s upper body noticeably jiggled. Her bust was so ample that it was one of the reasons she usually didn''t walk quickly. After all, it drew too much attention, like back in high school. Her female ssmates had even used that to attack her. So she always felt very self-conscious about it. Seizing the opportunity, Li Zhiyan took Su Mengchen''s hand. "Chenchen, let me hold your hand." In that moment, Li Zhiyan felt Su Mengchen''s body jolt as if electrified, but she still mechanically followed him onto the boat. After taking her hand, Li Zhiyan never let go again. Once all the seats on the small boat were taken, the captain shouted to put on life jackets, then immediately elerated the boat. With the rapid speed and the slight tilt of the boat, many tourists screamed. Though such boats were unlikely to have incidents, and lifeboats were on standby not far away, the tilting hullbined with the speed thrilled many tourists. Li Zhiyan felt nothing; in this world, nothing was scarier than poverty. Having lived through those days, he wouldn''t fuss over such a trivial matter. Su Mengchen, terrified, threw herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms. "Li Zhiyan..." "I''m scared." Li Zhiyan had intended to take Su Mengchen out to rx. But he had not anticipated the driver''s vigorous assistance in providing such an opportunity. After Su Mengchen leaned into Li Zhiyan''s embrace, he clearly felt the girl''s D-size bust in this weather. Chenchen was still young, but with his help, she would surely continue to grow. She had the potential to be a woman like Auntie Rao. Feeling the warmth from Su Mengchen''s body, Li Zhiyan also held her. "It''s okay, don''t be afraid..." His words echoed in her ears, bringing a lot offort to Su Mengchen''s heart. After cruising around theke, the tourists started to disembark. At this time, Su Mengchen was still a bit shaken. Once ashore, she slowly squatted down. Li Zhiyan understood, but thought it was good to experience more. Such appropriate thrilling activities could help Chenchene out of her shell. He crouched down beside her, gazing at the vast chasm and expanses of snow-white skin in front of Su Mengchen. He said softly, "Chenchen, take your time to calm down here." "It''s okay, don''t be afraid." "Mm..." Gradually, Su Mengchen remembered how she had thrown herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms. When Li Zhiyan held her tight, his body heat was trulyforting. Also, what she felt was... That was terrifying, wasn''t it? Su Mengchen only half-understood many things, but at this moment, she instinctively felt a sense of fear. If she and Li Zhiyan were to be together in the future, what might happen? Some things, Su Mengchen didn''t dare to contemte at this time.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om After a while, Su Mengchen slowly stood up and started to stroll along thekeside with Li Zhiyan. Stay tuned for updates on empire "I''m sorry, Li Zhiyan, I''m so useless, getting scared like that." After the episode, Su Mengchen''s conversational ability visibly improved, chatting with Li Zhiyan in a very natural way. "Chenchen, you did great." Li Zhiyan was always more encouraging towards Su Mengchen. Saying this, he smoothly took her smooth jade-like hand. Su Mengchen''s body trembled again, but still, she did not refuse. Her heart had indeed fallen for Li Zhiyan. A girl in the throes of first love easily devotes her entire emotions. Su Mengchen was no exception. Holding Su Mengchen''s smooth hand and smelling the fragrance on her body, Li Zhiyan also began to immerse himself in it. At this point, the system released a new task. "Task 2 released." "Because Yen Zhengjin lost all his savings of 1.98 million in online gambling, he will get drunk and n to give Jiang Xian three hundred thousand in cash when asking for a divorce tomorrow." "Please prevent this." "Task reward: One hundred thousand in cash." Holding Su Mengchen''s hand by theke, Li Zhiyan fell silent at the sight of the task. Thinking about that sum, he felt a pang of distress; 1.98 million could buy arge t in Wancheng at this time. Or easily be a multimillionaire with a little investment. Even just keeping it without spending could do a lot. Yet Yen Zhengjin had managed to lose 1.98 million so quickly in online gambling. Considering another gamble to recoup his losses was sheer folly. Online gambling indeed was something that could lead to ruin once touched. No matter how intelligent or knowledgeable, no one could resist the lure of gambling once hooked. However, this was also a good opportunity to look after Auntie Jiang. Thinking of Auntie Jiang''s red lips, Li Zhiyan grew somewhat eager. This time he must make good use of the situation, as chances like these were hard toe by. Chapter 299 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_5 "Li Zhiyan, are you thinking about something..." "It''s nothing, Chenchen, let''s keep walking." During the following time, as they were touring theke, Li Zhiyan was talking nonsense with Su Mengchen. Even though it was trivial, Li Zhiyan knew it could heal Su Mengchen''s soul. For Su Mengchen at the moment, such conversations were needed to gradually restore her self-confidence. Because of the problem with her legs, after walking for half an hour, Su Mengchen was having a hard time, and they sat down on a bench by theke, where the handsome Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen sitting under the shade of the willows looked like they had stepped out of aic book. "Chenchen, let me massage your feet; it won''t hurtter." Su Mengchen remembered when Li Zhiyan used to massage her mom, clearly alleviating her mom''s injury and pain. "Okay..." After Su Mengchen agreed, Li Zhiyan gently grabbed her calf. At the age of 18, Su Mengchen''s skin was tender and delicate everywhere, her fair skin tinged with a hint of pink. And for those maturedies, fairness often yed a greater role. Watching Li Zhiyan stare at her legs, Su Mengchen''s blush spread to her pretty face. Fortunately, Li Zhiyan''s gaze didn''t linger on Su Mengchen''s beautiful legs, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief. After untying Su Mengchen''s shoces, he took off her pink sneakers and then gently removed her socks. Su Mengchen''s feet didn''t have any scent, Li Zhiyan knew, because in a previous life he had kissed them. "Chenchen, I''m starting the massage." With that said, Li Zhiyan began to massage Su Mengchen. As he activated the skill, a warm feeling began to spread from Su Mengchen''s ankle. Li Zhiyan also started to massage her calf. Experience exclusive tales on empire With Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan didn''t dare to be too bold, just massaging up and down her calf. Women like Han Xueying or Fang Zhiya, who had experience with bedroom affairs, were more epting of such things. But Chenchen was a true virgin, taking things too far might trigger her stress response. Loving Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan naturally couldn''t do that. However, touching Su Mengchen''s soft, beautiful legs, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but have his thoughts wander. It was a pity that he and Chenchen couldn''t be more intimate for now. He had to restrain himself. Li Zhiyan''s massage was very professional, and Su Mengchenfortably closed her eyes, understanding why her mother liked her son Li Zhiyan to massage her so much. Such traditional Chinese medicine skill was truly formidable; indeed Li Zhiyan was good at everything except massage. After a while, Li Zhiyan bent down and helped Su Mengchen take off the other shoe as well. After he neatly packed away the socks in his pocket, both of Su Mengchen''s beautiful legs were resting on Li Zhiyan''sp. From this angle, Li Zhiyan could perfectly admire Su Mengchen''s fair thighs. And Su Mengchen, with her eyes tightly closed, didn''t dare to look at Li Zhiyan; the sensation was too embarrassingly sweet. After a long time, Su Mengchen felt no pain in her ankle whatsoever. "Li Zhiyan, you''re amazing... No wonder mom likes you so much." After taking the socks out of his pocket, Li Zhiyan carefully helped Su Mengchen put them on, and then helped her with her shoes. This meticulous care was something Li Zhiyan only bestowed on his own mom and Su Mengchen. He truly liked Su Mengchen, and most importantly, whatever he did for Su Mengchen was worth it. This girl would even give her life for him once she gave him her heart; there was no doubt that Su Mengchen''s love was passionate. "Li Zhiyan, let me do it." Seeing Li Zhiyan take such meticulous care of her, Su Mengchen''s heart felt increasingly healed.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "No need, Chenchen." "Mom said I should take good care of you." "She''s already epted me as her son." "So, taking care of you is only right." The blush on Su Mengchen''s pretty face never faded away. ... By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already noon. Three hours left before the afternoon train. After getting out of the car, Li Zhiyan took Su Mengchen''s hand. Though they hadn''t yet agreed to be together, Li Zhiyan knew that being with Chenchen was a done deal; it just hadn''t been confirmed yet. As soon as he entered the hotel, Li Zhiyan saw Shen Rongfei sitting on the sofa in the lobby. Clearly, Aunt Shen had been waiting for a long time. She was ultimately uneasy about her precious daughter going out. "Mom." Li Zhiyan called out as soon as he saw her; he truly liked the feeling of being a son to Shen Rongfei, who in a previous life had loved him like her own son. "Son, your hands are together now; it looks like the two of you are getting along very well." Su Mengchen let go of Li Zhiyan''s hand and walked toward the elevator, head bowed. Clearly embarrassed. "I''ll go to the restaurant first..." After Su Mengchen left, a delighted Shen Rongfei looked at Li Zhiyan. "Son, it seems like you had a good time this morning." "Yeah, Mom, I took Chenchen to tour theke." Chapter 300 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_6 ``` "You two seem to be getting along well, is Chenchen with you now?" After epting Li Zhiyan as her son.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Shen Rongfei truly wished in her heart for her daughter to be with Li Zhiyan sooner. Some knots only a mother could not untie. But with Li Zhiyan''spany throughout the three years of college, her daughter''s psychological state was bound to return to normal. "Mom, Chenchen and I haven''t defined our rtionship yet, but don''t worry, we''re very close to it, and in the end, Chenchen and I will definitely be together." Shen Rongfei felt genuinely happy in her heart, her beautiful face filled with a gentle smile. Her elegant legs moved forward continuously as Shen Rongfei patted Li Zhiyan''s head. "Then son, keep it up, Mom will always support you." ... In the afternoon, the three of them arrived at the train station. After reaching the train station, it became notably more crowded, and Li Zhiyan grabbed Su Mengchen''s hand. Su Mengchen was already used to this, so she naturally let Li Zhiyan hold her hand as they walked into the train station. Once on the train, as usual, Li Zhiyan took the outer seat to protect Chenchen and Shen Rongfei from the crowd. Returning to Wancheng, Li Zhiyan felt an inexplicable sense of security. The outside world indeed had its attractions, but he still loved his hometown the most. "Son, let Mom take you home." "Okay, sure." Li Zhiyan thought about the task for the evening. This time the task involved Aunt Wu. Afterpleting this task, his savings would break through a million. "Wait here, I''m going to get the car." Riding in Shen Rongfei''s Mercedes-Benz S, Li Zhiyan quickly returned to the exterior of Left Bank Garden. When parting, he distinctly felt Su Mengchen''s reluctance. This girl''s heart must not bear to be apart; her budding emotions were probablypletely upied by him, someone who had entered the heart that had never before been touched. "Son, it''s hot outside, go back and rest well, and call Mom whenever you''re free." Although Su Mengchen did not speak, her eyes revealed a million shades of reluctance, making Li Zhiyan want to hug her. But he restrained himself, as too much had happened for Su Mengchen today, so it was better to give her some time to process today''s events. ... As soon as he entered the residential area, Li Zhiyan saw Han Xueying carrying a bag, presumably out to buy groceries. "Aunt Han." Enjoy new adventures from empire "Xiao Yan, you''re back from your outing." "Yes, Aunt Han, are you going to buy groceries now?" Originally, this National Day holiday was exceedingly bleak for Han Xueying. She was alone at home, awaiting an endless loneliness. But since Li Zhiyan''s return, she felt the solitude had dissipated somewhat. "Yes, Xiao Yan, would you like toe over for dinner tonight?" "No thank you, Aunt Han. But I''lle over to give you massages when I''m free." "I''ve always remembered that." Thinking of Li Zhiyan massaging her thighs, Han Xueying felt a surge of hormones. Lately, she found it increasingly difficult to see Li Zhiyan as a child... After he told the stories about his cousin and the counselor. Han Xueying''s thoughts were shamefully influenced by that story session! "Alright, I got it, Xiao Yan." After patting Li Zhiyan''s face, the two parted at the entrance of themunity. Back home, Li Zhiyan heard noise from the kitchen. Clearly, Mom was cooking for him. Li Zhiyan had sent Zhou Rongrong many photos and kept her updated about his whereabouts today, so she knew he''d be home about this time. "Mom, you''re so beautiful." As he arrived in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan hugged Zhou Rongrong from behind. Mom was still beautifully dressed today, in her ck silk stockings. "Alright, you''re so big now but still cling to Mom like a three-year-old. Go wash your hands; dinner will be ready soon." Though Zhou Rongrong said this, the doting, warm smile on her face never stopped; she actually loved that her son depended on her so much. "Okay, Mom. The food outside is terrible, I just love your cooking. I''ve been craving your dishes like crazy." Li Zhiyan''s simple words kept his mother''s smiling face unwavering. After washing his hands, Li Zhiyan sat quietly at the dining table, waiting for dinner. As Mom brought out dish after dish, Li Zhiyan couldn''t wait to start eating. "Xiao Yan, on your trip outside, how are things with that girl named Su Mengchen?" When Mom brought up Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan roughly shared the situation with his mother. "Good, as long as there''s progress." "By the way, wasn''t Wu Auntie hanging out with you today?" "No." "Your Aunt Wu went to work today; she''s under a lot of pressure and hardly dares to take time off. She''s raising a kid on her own and always thinking about earning more money, hoping to make a down payment and buy a house soon." Zhou Rongrong could well understand her best friend. After all, she too had thought about going to work in the Magic Capital to earn more money not long ago. ``` Chapter 301 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_7 If his son hadn''t been reluctant to let him go, and now that his son''s future no longer needed worrying about, he would definitely already be in Magic Capital. Li Zhiyan''s heart felt a bit sour. Wu Auntie indeed had it tough. Even so, Zhang Honglei was always thinking about asking her for money, never once considering the hardships she endured. "Mom, I n to visit Wu Auntie tonight." "Okay, go ahead, your Wu Auntie''s favorite is you, after all. Chat with her when you have the time." After patting Li Zhiyan''s head, Zhou Rongrong began to serve food onto her son''s te. ... At seven in the evening, just off work, Wu Qingxian felt the ufortable sticky feeling of sweat on her skin and decided to take a bath first, followed by a good rest. After filling the kettle with water, Wu Qingxian was ready to boil some hot water. However, she was somewhat surprised by the noiseing from the second bedroom. Her son hadn''t been home for the past few days. Was he really back now? Could he be missing his mother? If only her son were like Li Zhiyan, a true mama''s boy. Unfortunately, her son only remembered she was his mother when he needed money. "Mom." "I need five thousand yuan." Wu Qingxian, who had initially thought Zhang Honglei might be missing her, was stunned. He was asking for five thousand yuan again, when she had just given him that amount for school not so long ago. She wasn''t wealthy. How could she afford such frequent demands for money from her son? "Son, what do you need another five thousand yuan for?" Zhang Honglei tentatively said, "I want to date and need money for that." He felt that if he talked about buying clothes again, his mother wouldn''t give him any money. So he used the excuse of needing money for dating, thinking that his mother, eager for a daughter-inw, might fulfill his wish. With this in mind, Zhang Honglei had some expectations. "Son, it''s not that Mom doesn''t care for you, but this month you have already taken nearly seven thousand yuan from Mom, including the living expenses." "Mom''s monthly wage is only four thousand yuan." "Mom can''t afford this." Hearing Wu Qingxian''s words, Zhang Honglei instantly felt a burning rage. "If you don''t want to give it, just say so!" "Why all this useless talk!" Blinded by anger, Zhang Honglei kicked the kettle that Wu Qingxian, weary from her sore back, had just filled with water. Startled, Wu Qingxian found herself somewhat at a loss. Explore more adventures at empire Then, Zhang Honglei stormed into Wu Qingxian''s bedroom, opened a drawer, found a thousand yuan in cash, and walked out the door. All he could think about was driving the Audi A4 that evening and singing karaoke with a female ssmate. Feelings for his mother and any sense of guilt had been extinguished by his vanity. As the door mmed, Wu Qingxian slowly returned to her bedroom. She didn''t take a bath buty on the bamboo mat and began to cry silently. She had brought up Zhang Honglei on her own, enduring untold hardships, only to be repaid with such treatment. Utter despair uncontrobly welled up in her heart. ... "Mom, I''m heading out." At home, Li Zhiyan was also ready to set out. Afterpleting this task, he would be back to having a savings of a million yuan. And Wu Auntie, who had watched him grow up, had always been so good to him. Even if there were no hundred thousand yuan, he ought to console her properly; his concern for Wu Auntie was truly profound. "Alright, have a good chat with your Wu Auntie, I can feel that she''s not in high spirits." "I''ll wait for you toe home." "I''m off, Mom." Afterward, Li Zhiyan took a taxi to Wu Auntie''s home. Having visited Zhang Honglei''s old home previously, Li Zhiyan was now quite familiar with the ce, and soon he arrived, climbing the stairs and knocking on the door.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Wu Qingxian, crying in the master bedroom, was taken aback¡ªcould her son havee back? Regardless, Zhang Honglei was after all Wu Qingxian''s own son... Therefore, Wu Qingxian always hoped that Zhang Honglei would return to the right path. The lifestyle of a rich second-generation heir simply wasn''t meant for them. But then she thought, the person knocking couldn''t be Zhang Honglei, because he would have his keys. "Who is it?" Wiping her tears, Wu Qingxian, with eyes reddened from crying, went to the door. "It''s me, Wu Auntie." "Xiao Yan." Seeing that it was already eight-thirty, Wu Qingxian was somewhat surprised that Li Zhiyan hade over. After wiping her tears, she didn''t want Li Zhiyan to see her in tears. After all, in her heart, Li Zhiyan was just a child. "Xiao Yan, why did youe at this time?" "Didn''t I say I woulde over to see you after I got home? I missed you, Wu Auntie." "Wu Auntie, what happened at home? Your eyes are swollen. Have you been crying? Who has been troubling you?" On the ground, the kettley scattered, and the concrete floor was covered withrge patches of water. It was clear that the kettle had been overturned while being filled with water. Li Zhiyan felt an impulse to grab Zhang Honglei and beat him up. That Zhang Honglei, he was truly detestable. He really wanted to hit him, but unfortunately, they lived in a society governed byw, where you can''t simply resort to violence. "It''s nothing, Xiao Yan. You sit for a while; Auntie is going to take a bath and change clothes, I''m covered in sweat." As a woman who liked to keep clean, Wu Qingxian couldn''t bear appearing before Li Zhiyan with sweat all over and hair slightly disheveled. After refilling the kettle, Wu Qingxian put it on the hook and went back to her own room. Chapter 302 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_8 She wanted to quickly move on from that pathetic state. The pot wasn''t filled with much water this time, so it boiled quickly, and she carried the kettle back to her room. Wu Qingxian locked the door from the inside, and Li Zhiyan heard the continuous sound of a towel scooping up water from the basin; it was clear that Wu Auntie was wiping down her body. After a while, Wu Qingxian went to the bathroom to pour out the water. Once she sat on the worn-out sofa Li Zhiyan had been sitting on, she had changed into a red cheongsam and had put on light makeup, masking the redness around her eyes. "Xiao Yan." "Wu Auntie, if something has happened, please tell me, okay?" Wu Qingxian hesitated for a moment but still said, "It''s Xiao Lei, he said he wanted to date and asked for five thousand yuan from Auntie." "Auntie didn''t give it to him, so he kicked the kettle and went into Auntie''s room, taking away Auntie''s one thousand yuan." Although he knew what had happened, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but feel his blood boiling with anger. "Wu Auntie, pretend you don''t have this son, from now on I''ll take care of you." Li Zhiyan reached for Wu Qingxian''s jade hand. Wu Qingxian was feeling quite troubled, but she couldn''t help but find it amusing when Li Zhiyan said that. "Xiao Yan, you want to take care of Auntie in her old age?" "Do you really have such great filial piety for Auntie?" "Of course, my filial piety for you is absolutely sincere." "I''d be willing to take care of you for a lifetime." "I just want to take care of you." Li Zhiyan''s words left Wu Qingxian stunned, then a wave of emotion washed over her. Sometimes the world can be so cold and hopeless, yet Xiao Yan could truly be warming. Your journey continues with empire Opening her arms, Wu Qingxian embraced Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, Auntie is really touched, thank you." Feeling Wu Auntie''s D+ bosom and the warmth from her body, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes. Then, Wu Qingxian started kissing Li Zhiyan''s face with her red lips. She left five or six lip marks before stopping. "Auntie really likes you so much..." Wu Qingxian felt that her affection for Li Zhiyan was getting out of control. At that moment, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Wu Qingxian''s waist. Then he lightly kissed Wu Qingxian''s face too. At that instant, Wu Qingxian''s mind went nk. She had always been the one to kiss Li Zhiyan, but today he had taken the initiative. For a moment, she subconsciously started to see Li Zhiyan as a man. After kissing Wu Auntie''s left cheek, Li Zhiyan then kissed her right cheek. The feeling of soft, warm jade overwhelmed him, and he wanted to have a passionate kiss with Wu Auntie, but he dared not. After all, Wu Auntie had watched him grow up, and Wu Qingxianmanded respect in Li Zhiyan''s heart. He didn''t dare to be too presumptuous with Wang Shangyan.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The main reason was that Wang Shangyan''s personality was too fiery; make her mad, and she really could split one''s head open. But with Wu Qingxian, it was because of his respect for her. "You rascal, why are you kissing Auntie?" Wu Qingxian let go of Li Zhiyan; she genuinely felt that Li Zhiyan had grown up, and it would be troublesome if he started to see her as a woman capable of bearing children. "Wu Auntie, if you can kiss me, why can''t I kiss you?" "No way, kid, only Auntie can kiss you, got it?" As she spoke, Wu Qingxian continued kissing Li Zhiyan''s face, covering it with lip prints before she finally stopped. "You rascal, Auntie watched you grow up, of course she can kiss you, but now that you''re grown up, you can''t kiss Auntie anymore, got it?" Faced with such strong-arm logic, Li Zhiyan could only nod in agreement. After all, this was his mom''s best friend. "I understand, Wu Auntie, from now on only you can kiss me." "That''s right. Come here, let Auntie give you a hug." "You grew up on Auntie''s milk, from now on you have to listen to Auntie, okay?" Wu Qingxian hugged Li Zhiyan as if she nned to remind him about the breastfeeding for a lifetime. "Wu Auntie, don''t think too much," "No matter what, just pretend he doesn''t exist." For the following while, Li Zhiyan was consoling Wu Qingxian. This obviously made Wu Qingxian feel much better. At eleven o''clock at night, Li Zhiyan finally went back home. After getting back, the living room light was still on, just as expected. Running to the sofa, Li Zhiyan casually leaned on his mother''s shoulder and said, "Mom, why are you still awake sote?" "There''s no work tomorrow, so of course, Mom has to wait for her son," "Alright, now that you''re back, Mom will go to sleep." Zhou Rongrong stroked Li Zhiyan''s head and feltpletely relieved. ... After freshening up and returning to his room, Li Zhiyan rummaged through his treasure chest of childhood memories before opening the system to find that Wu Auntie''s task was nowplete. Thinking of Wu Auntie''s stunning face, fair skin, elegant figure, and upper body, a hormonal explosion erupted in Li Zhiyan''s heart. But for today, it was best to rest. ncing at the one million in savings, Li Zhiyan slowly drifted off to sleep. At this time, Yen Zhengjin was staring intently at the gambling interface in his study. 1.6 million gone; from the time he started gambling, both in the gaming hall and online, Yen Zhengjin had now lost a total of 1.6 million. The savings he had been so proud of over the years were now down to just 380,000. Chapter 303 Fashion 124, Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan cross the line again_9 Now he was disheveled, sleeping for only a few hours each day; he had beenpulsively gambling since National Day, and now he could no longer stop. Looking at thest bank card that had 380,000 yuan, Yen Zhengjin recharged another 80,000 yuan into the game. "I have to break even, I have to break even..." Yen Zhengjin kept repeating this, by this moment he hadpletely fallen into a crazed state, focused solely on breaking even. However, by two in the morning, the 80,000 yuan had been lost once more. "Charge another 100,000!" This time, Yen Zhengjin was a lot more cautious; he decided to take it slowly, aiming to win back his original stake! ... In the morning, Zhou Rongrong went to Li Zhiyan''s room, gathered up his clothes that he had changed out of, and then went to cook. Before long, Li Zhiyan woke up and saw a message from his buddy asking if he was going to surf the inte. He was scheduled to carry out the task involving Yen Zhengjin in the afternoon, so he could afford to have some fun online in the morning. After washing up and sitting down, Zhou Rongrong asked, "Son, how is Auntie Wu feeling?" "Not so good, Mom." "I think Auntie Wu''s mood won''t get any better, he is always thinking about asking Auntie Wu for money, and it''s not just a little bit he asks for, he opens his mouth and it''s five thousand or ten thousand. I think Auntie Wu''s home is not far from falling apart." Zhou Rongrong let out a deep sigh, having such a son was truly an unfortunate burden for life. ... In the morning, after arriving at the inte caf¨¦. Li Zhiyan felt Li Shiyu''s envious gaze. "Brother Yan, you''re really living the life, traveling everywhere during National Day." "Not like me, I can only surf the inte here. If it weren''t for the fact that ourputers are reserved, I probably wouldn''t even have been able to get online during National Day." "Cut it out, given a choice between traveling and surfing the, which would you choose?" "I''d still pick surfing the." "Brother Yan, how are things progressing with Auntie Jiang?" "It''s almost there." With a casual remark, he reaped his buddy''s astonished expression. "Brother Yan, you''re sessful in everything, your life is the envy of the deceased." In the morning, the two yed games in the inte caf¨¦ the entire time. In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan took a taxi to Jiang Xian''s clothing store. "Auntie Jiang!" "Xiao Yan." Upon seeing Li Zhiyan again, Jiang Xian felt a surge of security in her heart. So much had happened recently, and each time it was Li Zhiyan by her side. "Auntie Jiang, I''ve missed you." As soon as he entered the clothing store, Li Zhiyan hugged Jiang Xian''s slender waist and kissed her. Though Jiang Xian was shy, she had thought of another family, happy andplete, walking past her store these past few days. The sense of loss spurred Jiang Xian to ovee her shyness, responding to Li Zhiyan continuously. After a while, a girl came towards them, and Jiang Xian, with a blushing face, pushed Li Zhiyan away. The girl found it strange, a forty-year-old woman kissing an eighteen-year-old? But in this era, it seemed that nothing was too strange. After all, if older men with young girls were eptable, there was no reason young men and mature women couldn''t be. After the girl looked around and bought a T-shirt, she left the clothing store. Then Li Zhiyan cuddled up behind Jiang Xian again. "Auntie Jiang, your lips are so sweet..." "Can we..."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Li Zhiyan whispered in Jiang Xian''s ear. However, Jiang Xian shook her head; there were some things she still found difficult to cross the threshold of. Li Zhiyan wasn''t surprised by this; he quietly waited for Yen Zhengjin to arrive. "Then Auntie Jiang, I''ll go lie down in the little room for a while. You look after the store, and tonight I want to have a good taste of your cafeteria''s cooking skills." Jiang Xian nodded slightly towards things that had already happened, though she still felt very shy at heart. ... At this moment, Yen Zhengjin had already lost a total of 1.88 million yuan. Only 100,000 yuan was left in his bank ount. Yen Zhengjin had not been panicked up to now, but at this point, he hadpletely begun to panic. Out of the savings of 1.98 million, there was only 100,000 yuan left. "Bet it all on triples!" Yen Zhengjin remembered the time when he had bet on triples but changed it to big/small at thest moment. Now he went all-in on triples, thinking that if he won, he could not only break even but earn quite a bit as well! With this thought, the madly desperate Yen Zhengjin ced his entire bet on triples. "Triples!" "Triples!" As the scantily-d croupier kept rolling the dice. Yen Zhengjin, with veins popping out, roared with anger. But very quickly, he becamepletely desperate. It was just an ordinary hand, the angry Li Zhiyan continued to top up his ount. But after trying all the payment methods with his bank cards, he realized. All his money was gone. Spent it all, every bit of it... At this moment, Yen Zhengjin''s mind was full of thoughts of recouping his losses, but now, it seemed he had no startup capital left. Mortgage! He could mortgage his house and the one he got from the relocationpensation. There was also the car; he should be able to get a loan of over a million. With that much money, recouping his losses should be possible, as long as he wasn''t too impulsive! Just then, Yen Lei''s call came through. "Dad, give me living expenses." "Get lost!" Yen Zhengjin was already on the brink of copse, and now hearing his good-for-nothing son asking for money, he definitely felt like he could no longer suppress his emotions. He even wanted to grab Yen Lei and beat him mercilessly. Suddenly, Yen Zhengjin remembered the three hundred thousand yuan he had at Jiang Xian''s. Deep down, he subconsciously regarded Jiang Xian as a soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze. "Go get the three hundred thousand back from Jiang Xian!" Hope for a turnaround flickered again in Yen Zhengjin''s heart. The money was his to begin with, so no one had the right to stop him from taking it back! He then took a taxi directly to Jiang Xian''s clothing store, and right after getting out of the car, he felt much bolder as he touched the fruit knife in his briefcase... From a distance, Jiang Xian saw Yen Zhengjin approaching and quickly called out to Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan!" Before she finished speaking, Yen Zhengjin had already entered the store. "Jiang Xian, I''m not here to talk about reconciliation." "Agree to one condition, and I promise I''ll never bother you again for the rest of my life." At that moment, Li Zhiyan also stepped out of the booth. Subconsciously, Yen Zhengjin felt immense pressure, but touching the fruit knife in his briefcase, he regained his confidence. "What condition?" Jiang Xian asked subconsciously, hoping that Yen Zhengjin would disappear from her life forever. "Three hundred thousand. When we got divorced, you took a bank card worth three hundred thousand. Give me that card, and we''ll have nothing to do with each other in the future." "I''ve already invested that money in the shop..." Before she could finish her sentence, Yen Zhengjin pulled out the knife and screamed hysterically, "Give me the money!" He had intended to politely ask Jiang Xian for the money, but when she started making excuses, he couldn''t control his explosive temper. "Give me the money!" His maniacal behavior even scared Xiao Yan. There was a good reason why he detested gambling and drugs. People addicted to gambling and drugs are not human, they are devils. While saying so, Yen Zhengjin lunged forward, attempting to use the knife to force Jiang Xian into giving him money. Li Zhiyan kicked Yen Zhengjin on the wrist, and the fruit knife in Yen Zhengjin''s hand flew out instantly. Li Zhiyan thennded a kick on his stomach, and with a surge of intense pain, Yen Zhengjin was sent flying. Li Zhiyan, with no hint of mercy, called the police, and it wasn''t long before the police car arrived and took Yen Zhengjin away. "Xiao Yan..." After the police car left, Jiang Xian felt the fear and dread wash over herpletely. No matter what, a woman is still a woman, and in the face of such situations, fear is inevitable. Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian and gently said, "Auntie Jiang, don''t be afraid, I''m here." He went to the door and pulled down the shutter with a single motion, then walked with Jiang Xian towards the back room. In extremely emotional situations, hormones can increase exponentially. For instance, when under a lot of stress, people seek ways to rx. At this moment, Jiang Xian was in such a state, and as soon as they entered the room, she found herself kissing Li Zhiyan. Then they eased the fear in their hearts. She had never dared to imagine that Yen Zhengjin could have such a crazed side. To get that three hundred thousand, he appeared ready to kill her! If Li Zhiyan hadn''t been there, who knew what could have happened to her today, she might really have been killed by him. "Auntie Jiang..." Gently touching Jiang Xian''s lips, Li Zhiyan said unclearly, "Is it okay?" Jiang Xian clung tightly to Li Zhiyan without speaking, and it was a long while before she finally said, "It''s okay." For Li Zhiyan''s sake, Jiang Xian gave up thest of her limits, except for pregnancy. "Xiao Yan..." "It''s okay." Holding Jiang Xian''s hand tenderly. Li Zhiyan gently sat down on the small bed. Chapter 304 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this. After sitting down, Li Zhiyan slowlyy down and rested his head on the pillow. The pillow still carried Auntie Jiang''s fragrance, which was somewhat refreshing to the senses. Gazing at Auntie Jiang''s red lips, Li Zhiyan called out, "Master''s wife." This address startled Jiang Xian, making it somewhat difficult for her to control the bashfulness in her heart. "Why are you calling me ''Master''s wife'' again? I''m already divorced, I''m not your master''s wife anymore, don''t call me that at a time like this." "I just find it interesting to address you this way." ... After a while, Jiang Xian gulped down a bottle of mineral water before swallowing it all. Li Zhiyan pulled Jiang Xian into his arms, lying her on his chest, while inhaling the scent from Auntie Jiang''s hair. Li Zhiyan said softly, "Auntie Jiang, can we... possibly...?" His voice was very gentle, although he didn''t artictepletely. But Jiang Xian knew what Li Zhiyan was thinking. "Xiao Yan, it''s not possible." "We''re still in a rtionship of elder and younger kin, but if we really take that step, there''s no turning back." "You''re still young, you can''t waste all your time on your auntie." "In the future, whatever you want to do, your auntie is willing, and I won''t hold you responsible, just don''t..." Jiang Xian was being somewhat more rational in her thoughts. She had always seen Li Zhiyan as just an 18-year-old kid. Some things, once started, are very hard to stop. Li Zhiyan grasped Jiang Xian''s hand, then leaned against her embrace. "Auntie Jiang, can you stop thinking so much, please." "Let''s just be together. Didn''t you promise to give it some serious thought before?" "Is that okay?"N?v(el)B\\jnn Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian''s blushing cheek, exploiting to the full the advantage of being seen as a kid in front of Auntie Jiang. He knew he had to strike while the iron was hot with his and Auntie Jiang''s affair. "Give your auntie some more time, alright?" "Mealtime ising up, I''m going to open the store soon, and I''ll cook for you in a bit." Li Zhiyan knew he couldn''t push too hard. After all, there was a 23-year age gap between Auntie Jiang and himself, which certainly gave her significant pause. "Alright, then I''ll go to the milk tea shop and make a couple of cold drinks to bring over." Li Zhiyan followed Jiang Xian and together they rolled up the shutter door of the clothing shop. Quickly, a woman came to buy clothes, and Jiang Xian warmly started to assist her. ... While walking on the street, Li Zhiyan nced at the system; the task had beenpleted. A new task was released by Li Zhiyan''s system. This made his heart surge with excitement, as the speed at which the system was issuing tasks was getting faster and faster. He had sessfully broken through the one million barrier again, reaching 1.1 million. With just 1.9 million more, he could be the owner of an intepany earning tens of millions a year. Life with a system was indeed the mostfortable. "New task released." "After Yen Zhengjin''s detention ends, he will mortgage all his car and house in a bid to break even." "But seven dayster, he will have gambled away all his mortgaged savings." "Afterward, he will seek high-interest loans from informal lending organizations." "And will expose Jiang Xian''s location." "Jiang Xian will be harassed by the debt collectors." "Please solve Jiang Xian''s problem." "Task reward, two hundred thousand in cash." This time, the reward was a hefty two hundred thousand, which excited Li Zhiyan immensely, aspleting this task was like covering two tasks. This problem wasn''t difficult for him to solve; he had already established connections when Aunt Fang was dealing with her debt crisis, and he could easily solve it with a phone call. But for Auntie Jiang, this would certainly be an extremely touching moment. Then, he could seize the opportunity to talk to her about some matters. "Indeed, gambling is an endless abyss." "Yen Zhengjin knows very well that gambling is a scam and that he could have stopped after being detained and gone on to live a normal life." "But he still wants to mortgage his house for a big gamble; that''s truly insane." At that moment, the system gave another prompt. It wasn''t to issue a task, but a warning. "Reminder, Fang Zhiya will visit Jiang Xian''s clothing store to shop in ten minutes." "During this period, do not engage in intimate behaviors with Jiang Xian." "Otherwise, idents can easily ur." Li Zhiyan broke out in a cold sweat. When the store was empty, he liked to flirt with Auntie Jiang and kiss her. Although she would symbolically resist, she would respond when she saw no one was around. And she even let him touch her legs... But his and Auntie Jiang''s actions were often witnessed by others. Every time, Auntie Jiang was embarrassed to no end. Ordinarily, if he brought milk tea overter, He would definitely have to be intimate with Auntie Jiang for a good while. If Fang Zhiya were to see that, there would be trouble. "System, you''re definitely not a Wimpy System. Even a Super Rooster System doesn''t fit you; you should be called the Super Rooster System!" Li Zhiyan fully realized the power of the system. When he reached the milk tea shop, noticing its thriving business, he found a seat and decided to wait a while before preparing the drinks. ... In the clothing store, Fang Zhiya, dressed very conservatively, arrived. Taking the rare opportunity to rest, she liked to go out shopping when she was free. She was clearly too scared to go out at night, so she took the chance toe out during the day. Chapter 305 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_2 After passing by Jiang Xian''s clothing store, she was immediately drawn in by the styles of several dresses. Xiao Yan loved short skirts and low-cut tops the most, and she decided to stock up on them. As soon as she entered, Fang Zhiya felt incredibly surprised. In her wildest dreams, she never thought she would encounter Jiang Xian here. Back when she hadn''tpletely cut ties with Liu Yaolong, she used to interact with Jiang Xian quite often, after all, she was the wife of the head teacher. Fang Zhiya also knew that Jiang Xian usually spent her free time visiting inte cafes to check if any students were there instead of at school. Explore more adventures at empire But now, to her surprise, she had run into Jiang Xian in themercial area of the university town! How could he be here? This ce was quite a distance from the high school. "Jiang Xian, shouldn''t you be over there, helping Teacher Yen to look for people in the inte cafe?" "Liu Yaolong''s mom, Yen Zhengjin and I are divorced now, and I''ve opened a store here." Fang Zhiya was visibly shocked. Was getting divorced a trend nowadays? She got divorced, and Fang Zhiya did too. It seemed as if all of this was fated. "Don''t call me Liu Yaolong''s mom anymore, I''m also divorced, and now Liu Yaolong and I are no longer mother and son." Although a considerable amount of time had passed, every time she thought about Liu Yaolong''s heinous act, drugging her and then betraying her, her heart felt incredibly cold. Her own son, indeed, was no different from a stranger. If she could, she would rather never have had Liu Yaolong as a son. Fang Zhiya''s words carried a lot of weight. The two women who had led hard lives felt each other''s difficulties and gently hugged after that. They had a chat, but they carefully avoided mentioning their divorces. After a while, Fang Zhiya chose a ck short skirt to go with the ck stockings that Li Zhiyan liked. Before leaving, Jiang Xian insisted on not taking her money, but Fang Zhiya forcefully left two hundred yuan in the store before she left. This scene was all clearly seen by Li Zhiyan, who was not far away. The system really was powerful. If it was like this, then in the future she could do as she pleased, as the risks would bepletely avoided. Looking at Auntie Jiang''s graceful figure, Li Zhiyan remembered the time he got lost in the forest back home and drank heartily from the spring. Gratitude for a spring''s water should be repaid even with a drip, he thought. After Fang Zhiya left, Li Zhiyan came over with two cups of Mango Pomelo Sago in his hand. "Auntie Jiang." "Xiao Yan, Liu Yaolong''s mother was just here, do you know her?" Although Li Zhiyan felt a bit guilty, he still said, "I know her." "Aunt Fang is a very traditional woman." "Even in the hottest days of summer, she would cover herself uppletely." Li Zhiyan was very aware of Aunt Fang''s traditional ways, but he was also clear about Aunt Fang in a short skirt and ck stockings and high heels. People change bit by bit. He never dared to imagine that such an extremely traditional woman like Aunt Fang would wear ck stockings, don a maid outfit, tie her hair into twin ponytails, and let him check how tightly they were tied. "Yeah, she''s been having a tough timetely. I hope she''ll have a better life in the future." Seeing Jiang Xian''s dejected look, Li Zhiyan understood this was probably empathy for one''s kin. "I believe Aunt Fang willter lead a very fulfilling life, with every day bringing an abundance of gains." After handing the Mango Pomelo Sago to Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan decided he should visit Aunt Fang that evening. "Good, I too hope to lead a very fulfilling life, with every day filled with gains." "Xiao Yan, sit here for a while, okay? I''ll go make food for you." Li Zhiyan obediently sat down. Jiang Xian went to the kitchen and started cooking. Even though she had had some yogurt, a proper meal was still needed to fill her stomach. As she chopped vegetables, any feelings of loss hadpletely dissipated. Li Zhiyan was watching the shop outside, and she was cooking at home. It was as if they were already together. If she were to get pregnant with his child, maybe her life would be even happier. Thinking about it, Jiang Xian unexpectedly felt a longing. To bear a child for Xiao Yan wasn''t such a bad idea after all. She desperately needed the nourishment of love too, after all, she was a 41-year-old woman, at the age when the need for love was at its highest. After a while, Jiang Xian had prepared several dishes. She called Li Zhiyan in to eat. "Coming, Auntie Jiang." The National Holiday business was indeed not very good, with most of the spending flowing into the tourism sector. Li Zhiyan had been sitting there for so long without many customersing to buy clothes. Looking at the simple meal on the table, Li Zhiyan picked up his chopsticks and said, "Auntie Jiang, isn''t this kind of life great?" "The two of us together, often living like this, and you giving birth to a child for me." "You know I have a lot of savings; I could definitely get you pregnant quickly." Li Zhiyan''s words made Jiang Xian''s face flush. "Eat your food, Xiao Yan." She dared not continue the conversation, but she couldn''t help fantasizing about a life together with Li Zhiyan.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om But how long would she be happy with him? Eventually, she would grow old, and the 23-year age gap was an ever-present issue. Chapter 306 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_3 If I were 31 this year, I would definitely have the courage to be with Li Zhiyan, to bear his children and raise them, but this year, I am already 41. ... After dinner, Li Zhiyan left Jiang Xian''s clothing store, which she had closed early today. It was evident that her state had improved significantly.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Women really do need to be carefully nurtured; it seems that from now on I truly need to live up to the title of Time Management Master. After leaving, he made a call to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang." "I''ll be there soon." Just returning home, Fang Zhiya felt her heart beating fast. She could finally see Xiao Yan again. During the two days Li Zhiyan was out, Fang Zhiya always felt a bit absent-minded at home. After receiving twenty minutes of affection from Li Zhiyan, he had be an indispensable part of her life. "Okay, baby, Auntie is waiting for you." "Have you had dinner? Auntie will cook for you." "I''m not hungry, Aunt Fang." "Okay, baby, Auntie is waiting for you." After hanging up, Fang Zhiya quickly went to take a shower. The clothes she currently wore were too formal, not Xiao Yan''s preferred style, so she decided to change into a ck silk skirt to prepare for him. Although she had close rtives, there were still other sports to consider. While taking a shower, Fang Zhiya was brushing her teeth, waiting for Li Zhiyan to return. ... As he passed the clothing store across the street. The clothing store owner quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Li Zhiyan. He had clearly witnessed how Li Zhiyan had taken down three thugs armed with knives in no time at all. Moreover, this young man had also threatened him. So now the clothing store owner didn''t dare look at him. Li Zhiyan didn''t speak to the owner, but if he dared to have any ulterior motives in the future, it would be more than just a simple threat. Stay tuned for updates on empire Walking down the street, Li Zhiyan saw a hotpot restaurant where Su Mengyue was standing inside, waiting for customers to order. Li Zhiyan knew that Su Mengyue''s family wasn''t well-off, but he was surprised that she chose to work a part-time job during the seven-day National Day holiday. Through the ss, Su Mengyue also noticed Li Zhiyan. Her pretty face lit up with joy. Could it be that she and Li Zhiyan were really fated, to encounter him in such a ce? She waved to Li Zhiyan, and he, intending to leave, had no choice but to stop. They were ssmates after all, and it was polite to interact outdoors. Besides, Su Mengyue was a very clean girl. In his past life, he never dated during college and lost touch with her after graduation. Li Zhiyan really had a good impression of Su Mengyue. It was a pity that Su Mengyue had only a B-cup, unlike Chenchen, who at a young age was already on par with Aunt Fang or Auntie Jiang, and had a considerable potential for growth. Thinking of developing Su Mengyue''s figure would probably take many years. Li Zhiyan entered the hotpot restaurant, and the staff on either side greeted him warmly, "Sir, how many of you are there?" "I''m not here to eat, I''m looking for a ssmate." Once inside the hot pot restaurant, Su Mengyue, with her hair tied in twin tails, had delivered the menus to the counter and came over to Li Zhiyan, looking up at the tall and handsome young man. In just a moment, Su Mengyue''s pretty face turned slightly red. Although the girl was young and green, one could still glimpse some of her soft contours. "Li Zhiyan, what brings you here? Haven''t you gone home?" "I came to check on the tea shop." "I didn''t expect to run into you when I came back. Are you working part-time here during the National Day holiday?" "No, I work part-time here on Sundays, which includes the National Day holiday. I earn four hundred yuan a month." When talking about her four hundred yuan sry, Su Mengyue''s innocent face was filled with happiness. Su Mengyue''s parents were not around; only her grandparents had raised her. The two hundred yuan they gave her for living expenses every month was the result of her grandparents picking up scraps all day and her grandmother selling small colored lights at night. She had noints and cherished the opportunity to go to school very much. Right after the military training ended, she begged the store manager for a long time before finally getting a part-time opportunity. Looking at Su Mengyue''s twin tails, Li Zhiyan thought of Su Mengchen''s high ponytail. The two girls had different auras, with Su Mengyue''s green face and twin tails exuding the perfect ''Fair Young and Slender'' aesthetic. Su Mengyue''s height was about the same as Aunt Fang''s, around 160 cm. Unfortunately, Su Mengyue did not have Aunt Fang''s ''bountiful harvest''; she was just average. The more he thought about it, the more Li Zhiyan felt Aunt Fang was extraordinarily gifted; in the aspect of ''fruitfulness,'' she truly was far ahead of the rest. And Chenchen, who was 172 cm tall, would grow into his favorite kind of gorgeous mature style. After all, Chenchen had inherited all of Aunt Shen''s best traits. Aunt Shen''s height of 168 cm was already perfect, and Chenchen had surpassed her by a full 4 cm. If Su Mengchen and Su Mengyue stood together, the difference in their height would be a full head. The only w was her congenital limp. But Li Zhiyan didn''t really care about that; it''s true that a congenital limp is not good, but when lying down, one doesn''t need to walk. At that time, there were no ws, only beautiful legs and jade feet. It''s a pity that in this life, he had no interest in the ''Fair Young and Slender'' type. However, standing so close in front of Su Mengyue, Chapter 307 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_4 Li Zhiyan suddenly felt a surge of blood rush through him. He was still too young, unable to resist an enticing scent, he thought to himself. "I''m going to the bathroom first." After greeting Su Mengyue, Li Zhiyan headed to the bathroom. After he left, Su Mengyue''s face turned redder and redder, the blush spreading rapidly, prompting an older female colleague to start teasing her. "Mengyue, do you like Li Zhiyan?" "Umm..." "Li Zhiyan is handsome and capable, I really like him." Though shy, Su Mengyue was someone who dared to love and hate, and she expressed her liking for Li Zhiyan directly. Now in the ss, Su Mengyue''s secret crush on Li Zhiyan could hardly be considered a secret anymore. Of course, this was when Li Zhiyan was not around. In fact, Su Mengyue had thought many times about confessing to Li Zhiyan, but always gave up helplessly because shecked the courage to take the final step. "Why don''t you confess? Times are different now." "It''s not about who chases who anymore." "As long as you like someone, you should bravely pursue them." Su Mengyue''s face grew even redder. At that moment, an Audi A4 pulled up at the school entrance. And out of the car stepped Zhang Honglei. On the first day of school, Zhang Honglei had taken a fancy to the pale, delicate, and slender girl Su Mengyue, but had never mustered the courage to approach her. The past few days of high spending and driving the Audi A4 around had boosted his confidence. He hadpletely immersed himself in the lie that he was a rich heir. In those days, he even had female ssmates hinting that their "Aunt Flo" was about to visit. However, in his heart, Zhang Honglei''s favorite was still Su Mengyue. Her shy and timid demeanor had stirred his heart for a long time, and today, he arrived in his Audi A4, thinking it was the perfect opportunity to develop a rtionship with Su Mengyue. "Wee, sir, how many?" "Just one, but I want to invite your waitress, Su Mengyue, to join me for the meal; she''s my ssmate." Touching the remaining five hundred or so yuan in his pocket, he felt very confident. Enough to afford a meal with Su Mengyue. As soon as he entered the restaurant, the sight of Su Mengyue with her red cheeks and pigtails, rendered Zhang Hongleipletely stunned. He had never been worldly, and Su Mengyue was the most stunning, beautiful white moonlight of his life. Today, with her pigtails and her small, fair face all flushed, his heartbeat quickened. Maybe Su Mengyue liked him and blushed like that because she saw him arriving. Your journey continues at empire In the past, when he tried to chat her up, she always stayed far away from him, the senior, and ignored all the brand names he unted. Initially, Zhang Honglei felt insulted by this, thinking it was a slight against his capabilities. But now he figured it wasn''t exactly the case; it was because he hadn''t showcased his strength enough. Today, he had arrived in an Audi A4, and Su Mengyue definitely recognized his strengths, which is why she showed such a shy demeanor. So tonight, was there a chance he and Su Mengyue could define their rtionship? And then get together right away, perhaps even kiss while strolling in the evening and then go to a hotel? Imagining waking up in a hotel tomorrow with Su Mengyue in his arms, Zhang Honglei''s heart leaped with joy. "Mengyue, let''s have dinner together." "I''ll treat you to hotpot." After making the invitation, Zhang Honglei couldn''t help but push the timeline of his imagined story with Su Mengyue further into the future. How prestigious it would be to show off such a beautiful girlfriend at school. If it weren''t for Su Mengyue bringing him back to reality, Zhang Honglei would have even started thinking about names for their children. "No, thanks..." "Senior, I truly don''t like you." One thing Li Zhiyan admired about Su Mengyue was that she was extremely straightforward; she dared to love and to hate, to like openly and to openly dislike. When pursued by someone, she would always bluntly express her feelings, never leading them on for her own gain. At that moment, Zhang Honglei''s face felt hot. He didn''t expect Su Mengyue to reject him as directly as before. Wasn''t this a bit too outrageous? It waspletely different from what he had imagined. Su Mengyue''s behavior just now was clearly that of a girl with a budding crush!N?v(el)B\\jnn Maybe the person making her shy wasn''t him. Looking around, he saw no one who might pose a threat to him. Who could threaten a rich second-generation kid driving an Audi A4! "Mengyue, I know your family is struggling. Be with me, and my family can provide. I can give you two thousand yuan a month for living expenses." Su Mengyue was unmoved. At that moment, a 170-pound waiter nearby seemed somewhat interested. "Really, no need, Senior. I don''t like you, I already have someone I like." Just then, Li Zhiyan came out of the bathroom. Seeing Zhang Honglei, he was visibly surprised. "The person I like is him, my ssmate Li Zhiyan." "Senior, please stop looking for me from now on." Seeing Li Zhiyane over, Su Mengyue mustered her courage, moved to his side, and grabbed his arm... Chapter 308 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_5 This left Li Zhiyan feeling somewhat surprised; Su Mengyue had actually confessed to him at this time, and looking at Zhang Honglei opposite him, he probably understood what was going on. Zhang Honglei borrowed a car, thinking he would win over Su Mengyue, but he hadn''t expected to back her into a corner and drive her to seek refuge with Li Zhiyan. Zhang Honglei clearly didn''t know that a girl like Su Mengyue couldn''t be won over with money; in his previous life, there were also rich second-generation guys who pursued Su Mengyue in college, but she always turned a blind eye to them. For her, it was love at first sight or nothing; no other way could enter her heart. "Li Zhiyan! Why are you here!" "I was just passing by." Looking at Su Mengyue grabbing his arm, Li Zhiyan said indifferently, as some of the guests had started to look in their direction. All those gazes made Su Mengyue lower her head in embarrassment. With clenched fists, Zhang Honglei wanted to fight Li Zhiyan at this moment, but he restrained himself because he knew all too well that fighting Li Zhiyan would equal deliberately seeking a beating. He hadn''t even been a match against the trainers when wrestling, let alone Li Zhiyan, and he had already suffered enough in the dorm before. Unable to win and worried that Li Zhiyan would expose his fake wealthy persona, Zhang Honglei turned and left, hating Li Zhiyan to his core. "Alright, he''s gone." Watching the departing Audi A4. Li Zhiyan gently touched Su Mengyue''s shoulder. Su Mengyue nced at Li Zhiyan, then ran shyly to the staff changing room.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ... After Li Zhiyan left, the image of Su Mengyue''s blushing cute face lingered in his mind. Though he preferred mature women, he couldn''t resist the fact that Su Mengyue had twin tails, and he actually felt his heart skip a beat. Shaking his head to clear these thoughts, Li Zhiyan decided not to consider Su Mengyue''s matters for now. What he needed to do was toplete tasks and umte three million. At that moment, the system issued another task. "Today''s confession failed, and Zhang Honglei has been struck a heavy blow." "So, tonight he found a female ssmate to go to KTV for singing and drinking." "He squandered all his remaining money." "After being rejected when he asked Wu Qingxian for money." "The next day, he caused a scene at Wu Qingxian''spany." "And forcefully took away five thousand yuan." "Tomorrow night, Wu Qingxian will go to a street food stall with a few colleagues to drown her sorrows in alcohol." "A sleazy middle-aged male colleague ns to get her drunk and then take her to a hotel room." "Please go to the street food stall and prevent it." "Task reward, one hundred thousand yuan." Another task with a reward of one hundred thousand yuan, Li Zhiyan felt the butterfly effect of his rebirth was too considerable. Like the previous encounter of Aunt Gu in the park with Huang Mao, such incidents wouldn''t have happened if Li Zhiyan hadn''t returned, and the dangers the aunties faced were greatly linked to his rebirth. "Mom''s best friend really has it tough." Thinking of Wu Qingxian''s graceful figure and her look in a cheongsam. Li Zhiyan felt it was time to repay the kindness for the milk he had received from Aunt Wu when he was a baby. Aunt Wu was so kind to him! So, he must protect her! ... In the hotpot restaurant, Su Mengyue walked out of the changing room. The blush on her cute face hadn''t faded yet. She thought about the moment she told Li Zhiyan she liked him, feeling unbearably shy inside. She had actually confessed to Li Zhiyan. If at that moment Li Zhiyan had followed her into the changing room and said he liked her too, Then they would probably be together by now. As long as they were together, she truly felt she could do anything for him. "Why didn''t hee in? Does he not like me..." As she thought, Su Mengyue felt a sense of loss. Indeed, Li Zhiyan was now a true heartthrob and owned his own tea shop; she had heard from his dorm mates that he also started an inte cafe. His annual ie was at least five to six hundred thousand to start with, and he was only 18 years old. As a girl from a remote mountain vige, how could she be worthy of him? "I need to work hard..." "If he doesn''t like me, I''ll pursue him until he starts to like me." Some things will never begin if you don''t start them. The moment she expressed her liking for Li Zhiyan, Su Mengyue knew she couldn''t stop herself anymore. ... After the little interlude with Su Mengyue, Li Zhiyan returned to the home he shared with Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang." After knocking on the door, Fang Zhiya, dressed in a low-cut top, short skirt, ck stockings, and high heels, answered the door. "Baby, change your shoes." Fang Zhiya knelt down to help Li Zhiyan take off his shoes and put on slippers. In terms of caring for Li Zhiyan, even his mother Zhou Rongrong couldn''t match the attentiveness of Fang Zhiya. The meticulous care of Aunt Fang was irreceable. After changing into slippers, Li Zhiyan noticed that Aunt Fang''s skirt was one he had never seen her wear before; clearly, it was bought that day in Auntie Jiang''s shop. "Aunt Fang, your new skirt looks nice." "Does it look good, baby?" Discover stories with empire "It looks good, Aunt Fang, wait for me; I''ll take a shower first, then join you for dinner." Going out on such a hot day inevitably meant sweating profusely. So, taking a good shower was essential. While showering, Li Zhiyan felt once again the sensation of limitless energy. It must be said, the age of 18. Really doesn''t know fatigue. Aftering out of the shower, Fang Zhiya went up to him, wrapped her arms around Li Zhiyan''s waist, stood on her toes, and kissed him; it had been days since hest kissed Aunt Fang''s cherry lips. Chapter 309 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_6 Li Zhiyan''s heart was also filled with longing, Aunt Fang really had the smallest mouth.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Besides her, he couldn''t find anyone with such a small one. The two kissed, and Li Zhiyan lifted Fang Zhiya in his arms. Then they headed to the bedroom, where he gently tossed Fang Zhiya onto the bed. Li Zhiyany down too, holding Fang Zhiya close, letting her rest in his embrace. "Xiao Yan, I''m sorry, Auntie was still hoping to get pregnant." Previously, to get pregnant, Fang Zhiya often kept her legs up after trying to conceive, all to increase the chances of pregnancy. But now her period hade again. Talking about this topic, Li Zhiyan could feel that Aunt Fang was ultimately a little scared, which was normal, since it''s not that easy for a 42-year-old woman to get pregnant or have a child. "Aunt Fang, don''t worry, I''m young and have plenty of capital." "We''ll still be together." "If not in a month, then in a year, trying hundreds of times, we''ll surely have a baby, won''t we?" As he spoke, Li Zhiyan propped up Fang Zhiya''s chin and kissed her red lips again. "Baby..." "Auntie understands. You work hard, and Auntie will try her best too." Thinking about working hard to have a child, Fang Zhiya felt it was a sacred endeavor. She must have a child for Li Zhiyan, otherwise it would be a lifelong regret for both herself and him. "Aunt Fang..." Li Zhiyan murmured indistinctly. Afterwards, Fang Zhiya started to cooperate with Li Zhiyan. ... After a long time, Fang Zhiya rested on Li Zhiyan''s chest, hoping that these seven days would pass quickly. That way, there would be hope for the pregnancy. "Baby, are you going home tonight?" "Yes, I need to go back tonight." She had to go home to apany her mom, and also, she had to help Aunt Han with her massage. After all, the counselor''s injury was serious, and she needed to go through a course of traditional Chinese medicine massages, which would take at least seven or eight sessions. She was far from that now, and during each massage session, she could hear a voice that sounded very much like Yang Mi. "Okay, baby, Auntie ns to go to work tomorrow." "Going to work will earn some extra overtime pay, and staying here won''t allow us to continue trying." Li Zhiyan had no objections to Fang Zhiya wanting to go to work, since they didn''t need to try for a baby these days and he couldn''t always be with Aunt Fang. Letting her go to work was actually a good choice. ... Zhang Honglei, who was driving his Audi A4 around the streets aimlessly, was bing increasingly annoyed. He mmed down on the gas pedal, not caring at all about the car''s fuel consumption; used tovish spending, a few hundred bucks on gas was nothing to him. Thinking of Su Mengyue''s blushing face and the excitement her pigtails provoked in him made his heart race even faster. But she actually liked Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan was his nemesis, the memory of that painful kick he received from him still vivid in his mind. Now that Li Zhiyan had stolen the woman he liked, considering how beautiful Su Mengyue was, how could Li Zhiyan resist her? He might even take her to a hotel tonight. Read new chapters at empire The thought of his goddess possibly being with Li Zhiyan made his heart sink even more. After stopping by the roadside, he opened QQ and sent a message to a in-looking female ssmate. Seeing how wealthy he was and that he drove an Audi A4, this ssmate often hinted to him that she was avable. But Zhang Honglei, who was already feeling superior, did not pay much attention to this ssmate''s advances. "Come out and y." "I''ll pick you up in my Audi." "Where are we going to y, rich bro?" "To the KTV for some fun, let''s have a good drink tonight." She was quick to respond and kept up with him. Calcting the cost, Zhang Honglei figured that indulging himself tonight was enough; he needed to rx. "By the way,e out with pigtails." "Okay." The image of Su Mengyue''s blushing, girlish figure with pigtails was too alluring for Zhang Honglei. So he decided to pull on the pigtails while imagining the ssmate was Su Mengyue; it seemed like a nice idea. ... After leaving Fang Zhiya''s ce, Li Zhiyan was once again brimming with energy. The titles he gained from the system did not just enhance his abilities and stamina but also gave him unlimited vigor, allowing him to always maintain a state of high energy and efficiency in whatever he did. It was difficult to hail a cab at the entrance of the residential area, so Li Zhiyan decided to walk to the main road. Passing by a KTV, he saw Zhang Honglei getting out of his car with a in-looking female ssmate, who had her hair in pigtails. "Zhang Honglei must have mastered the brain''s AI face-swapping technology," Li Zhiyan thought to himself. The more Zhang Honglei messed up, the happier he became because no matter how much he continued to adore Wu Auntie, Wu Auntie''s heart surely held the deepest love for her son; this was inevitable... But if Zhang Honglei could make Wu Qingxian sad enough, then in the end, all of Wu Qingxian''s love would surely fall to him. As if by ident, Zhang Honglei also spotted Li Zhiyan walking alone, which secretly pleased him; Li Zhiyan hadn''t taken Su Mengyue to a hotel. Chapter 310 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_7 Could it be that they''re not together? With that thought, hope rose in Zhang Honglei''s heart again. Maybe there was still a chance for him, but for now, it was better to live it up. As for what to do after running out of money, Zhang Honglei hadpletely stopped thinking about it. ... After taking a taxi back to Left Bank Garden, Li Zhiyan first went to Han Xueying''s ce. Find your next read at empire By this time, Han Xueying had changed into a thin, translucent nightgown. Wearing just the nightgown and with her hair down, she was ready to go to bed. Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang. "Who is it?" It waste, and Han Xueying was quite guarded. If it was a man, she decided not to open the door. After all, it was inappropriate for a widow to be alone with a man sote at night. "Aunt Han, it''s me." Upon hearing Li Zhiyan''s voice, Han Xueying let her guard downpletely and opened the door. "I was worried you might be bored, so I came to chat with you." Looking at Aunt Han''s gentle appearance and sweet, caring big sister''s face, Li Zhiyan felt his hormones start to surge uncontrobly. Aunt Han was a counselor at the school. But now, he could see Aunt Han in her nightgown, with her hair down, looking quite alluring. "Okay, Xiao Yan." Softly taking Li Zhiyan''s hand, Han Xueying led him to sit down on the couch. Ever since Li Zhiyan had massaged Han Xueying, she no longer made much of holding hands. Though the massage was for medical purposes, it nheless involved Li Zhiyan touching her thighs. Even though it was for treatment, it really wasn''t all that different. So, holding hands was nothing. "Aunt Han, I''vee home, and from now on, I''ll oftene by to see you." Han Xueying was deeply touched by Li Zhiyan''s words; he truly was an exceptionally good kid. "Okay, Auntie knows." "Aunt Han, let me help you by massaging your ankle." Li Zhiyan came tonight specifically to treat Aunt Han''s injury, a serious medical issue. Han Xueying felt a bit uneasy about it but after thinking that Li Zhiyan was just an 18-year-old boy, she nodded in agreement. Grasping Han Xueying''s delicate foot, Li Zhiyan began to massage her. At that moment, he couldn''t take his eyes off her, and his other hand gently massaged her calf. Eventually, the massage moved up to her thigh. "Xiao Yan, how many more times will this massage be needed?" As Li Zhiyan massaged, Han Xueying slowly started to coo, which Li Zhiyan found incredibly pleasant to listen to. Aunt Han''s voice was too sweet. What could he do to continue hearing such a delightful sound? "Aunt Han, another week or so of massage should do the trick." "The human body''s circtory system is very mysterious. You might not notice anything now, but as you get older, these hidden injuries will gradually manifest, so I need to help you get rid of them." Han Xueying didn''t understand much about traditional Chinese medicine. So, she could only nod lightly, fully aware. That this kid was truly looking out for her well-being. In her moment of despair from spraining her ankle, she really didn''t know what she would have done without Li Zhiyan. Because Han Xueying was wearing a nightgown, Li Zhiyan could easily see the white valley below. This made it impossible for him to look away, yet he didn''t dare stare openly, sneaking nces out of the corner of his eye. After more than half an hour, Li Zhiyan bid farewell to Han Xueying. "Aunt Han..." "I''m going back now." "Mhm..." After Li Zhiyan left, Han Xueying looked at her fingers, tidied up the couch, and then returned to the master bedroom. Xiao Yan''s hands were so strong and warm during the massage. "Husband..."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Han Xueying murmured. ... When he got home, his mother was still waiting for him on the couch. "Mom, if Ie homete, you don''t have to wait for me here. Go to your room and sleep early." "I don''t want you to stay upte, it''s bad for your skin." Li Zhiyan could remember clearly from his past life how much he aged from staying up night after night to make some money. This time around, he just wanted his mom to live happily and look beautiful. "The house is too big now, not like the old one where you could hear meing back, mom." "Then from now on if Ie backte, I''ll juste to your room and let you know. You should rest early." "Okay, son, go take a bath and get to bed early." Zhou Rongrong gently hugged Li Zhiyan and kissed her son''s face before heading off to bed. That night, lying in bed, Li Zhiyan looked at the 1.1 million yuan in his bank ount, feeling somewhat intoxicated. He was not far from his goal of an annual ie of ten million yuan. Now the system was setting tasks at a much faster rate, which meant he would earn money quicker in the future. "I''ll go help Wu Auntie fend off drinks tomorrow." Thinking about the various things that happened with Wu Qingxian during his childhood, Li Zhiyan''s heart felt warm. Apart from his mother, Wu Auntie was the kindest woman to him from his childhood through his adolescence; there was no one else. Now that he had the chance to earn all her love, he certainly wouldn''t let it pass by. In the future, he would ensure Wu Auntie was like Aunt Fang, with eyes and all her remaining years filled only with him. And she would also bear him a child; otherwise, it would be aplete waste for a fine woman like Wu Auntie, a remarkable mature beauty, to spend her life alone for someone like Zhang Honglei, a wastrel who knew only vanity and consumption. Chapter 311 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_8 ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, Zhou Rongrong had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him. Days with mom around meant an endless supply of delicious food! After washing up, Li Zhiyan sat next to his mom and leaned on her shoulder as he ate. "You''re bing more and more like a child. It really worries me. How are you going to adapt when you get married and your wife doesn''t spoil you like this?" Zhou Rongrong was somewhat helpless. "Then I''ll just stay by mom''s side for my whole life as a mama''s boy." "You''re talking nonsense again..." "Alright, eat up." After breakfast, Li Zhiyan paid a visit to Brotherhood Inte Cafe, which excited his buddy Li Shiyu, who spent all day gaming alone. Games are fun, but it can get boring alone. It''s different when you have a brother to y with. "Brother Yan, an ice-cold c!" Li Shiyu''s preferences hadn''t changed at all. Li Zhiyan remembered when he graduated and wanted to y games at the inte cafe, only to leave after sitting for a bit without anyone to y with. Having someone to game with really wasn''t easy. "Brother Yan, the National Day holiday is already halfway over." "Once school starts, we won''t be able to y games every day." "Just thinking about it is upsetting." "It''s fine. You can look forward to the winter break. By then," "you can enjoy gaming every day for over a month." As the two yed games, Li Zhiyan began their regr chat. The first chat window he opened was with Su Mengchen. After that trip to Sucity, Su Mengchen was in a much better state, and chatting with Li Zhiyan had be a lot smoother. They talked more, too. While they were chatting, a name that looked like it could be Su Mengchen''s younger sister, but was unrted, Su Mengyue, sent a message. "Li Zhiyan, when I say I like you, it counts as a confession, right... Haha." "Can we be together?" Su Mengyue had thought about this all night without muster up the courage. It wasn''t until now that she had finally made up her mind. She wanted to clear things up with Li Zhiyan; if she could be his girlfriend, that would be the best. "Give me some time to think about it." Li Zhiyan''s response was neither eptance nor rejection... Afterward, he started chatting with Jiang Xian and Fang Zhiya. Li Shiyu saw Li Zhiyan''s "give me some time to think about it" clearly, and his heart was exploding with envy; they were both losers at the beginning of the summer vacation. But now, Brother Yan hadpletely turned the tables and be the Sea King, and he even had the active skill to strike at the enemy''s crystal and block the fountain to repeatedly torture it. Brother Yan was awesome... While chatting with Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan was reminded of some things, also with a baffled face. After Jiang Xian invited him to have lunch together, he agreed without thinking. "Okay, Auntie Jiang, I''ll get to enjoy your cooking again at noon." At the same time, he alsoforted Wu Qingxian. Wu Auntie''s mood had been noticeably offtely, so he needed to be more attentive, to get all her attention on him in the future. Li Shiyu enviously said, "Brother Yan, you''re really awesome." "Auntie Jiang has really be your womanpletely." "Oh, I heard some gossip yesterday." "Liu Yaolong seemed to have gotten into trouble during the National Day holiday."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "He got beaten up, and his Mercedes S is gone." Li Zhiyan was also stunned; even if Liu Yaolong had taken out a high-interest loan, it shouldn''t have blown up in a month. But on second thought, a college student like Liu Yaolong who had nothing probably talked big to get the loan, perhaps under some outrageous conditions. However, Li Zhiyan wasn''t concerned about Liu Yaolong''s issues; after all, Yaoya''s rtionship with him had already broken down, and he wasn''t really considered his son. And his mom was now just thinking about how to get pregnant for him. "Never mind him, let''s keep ying games." ... At this moment, Zhang Honglei''s mood wasn''t good. Although he fantasizedst night that the girl with the twin ponytails was Su Mengyue, no matter how much he imagined, fake was fake, and he felt listless upon waking today. Looking at the fuel warning on the dashboard, he touched his pocket, finding only fifty yuan left. If he didn''t go home, he wouldn''t even have food to eat. "If I ask mom for a few hundred yuan, she''d give it to me." At this moment, Zhang Honglei remembered how he had knocked over the teapot and snatched a thousand yuan. Having calmed down, he deeply regretted it. Maybe he should go home, apologize to his mom, beg for her forgiveness, then tighten his belt, be a good kid, and it would all pass. Leaning on the steering wheel, Zhang Honglei was caught in conflict, realizing he still had a conscience. But gradually, images of driving his Audi A4 with the windows down, the envious looks from his high school ssmates, the scenes of him spendingvishly at the KTV with female ssmates, the rich second-generation ssmates who all treated him like a bro, and the shy, springtime-like demeanor of Su Mengyue echoed in his mind. Maintaining the status of a rich kid. There was still hope for him to win back Su Mengyue, but if he returned to an ordinary life, without buying sneakers or designer brands, what would his friends think of him, his ssmates? Even, without money, he couldn''t even fill his Audi with gas. Would they still lend him their car afterwards? Chapter 312 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_9 Thinking of this, his heart became resolute. However, Zhang Honglei was well aware that his mom had just recently brought him five thousand yuan to school and that he had also taken a thousand yuan from her drawer. There was no way she would give him money if he asked for it tonight. But he could go to thepany to ask for money. If she refused, he could cause a scene in the office, preventing her from working, and she would definitely give him the five thousand yuan. Although he knew this method could get him the money. Zhang Honglei still had a conscience, after all. Conscience and greed weaved constantly within his heart, and he became increasingly conflicted. ... At noon, after Li Zhiyan arrived at the clothing store, Jiang Xian was already frying dishes in the kitchen. "Auntie Jiang, that smells delicious!" "Hmm, Xiao Yan, you''re here," Jiang Xian gently touched Li Zhiyan''s face. "You''ve been quite free these days." Indeed, free but feeling uneasy. This rent has to be paid every day. These past days after deducting the rent, we only made a little over two hundred yuan." "Don''t worry, Auntie Jiang," "Just be at ease. Right now, it''s just the holiday season, so it''s slow. Once the semester starts, it''s the golden period." "We will definitely make money, and even if we don''t, you still have me to support you. Besides, you''re supposed to be my girlfriend," "Who agreed to be your girlfriend..." Jiang Xian''s face flushed slightly, but the idea of bing Li Zhiyan''s girlfriend was bing increasingly uncontroble in her heart. After lunch, Li Zhiyan ran to the entrance and pulled down the roller door.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "What are you doing now..." Jiang Xian asked quietly. "Time for a nap, Auntie Jiang. We need to help each other doze off early," Jiang Xian knew that in such hot weather, a nap was indeed needed. Otherwise, one would be very sleepy by six in the afternoon or nine at night. ... In a high-end beauty salon, Yin Xueyang was chatting with her bestie while enjoying a steam bath. Her bestie said enviously, "Your bust is so impressive, I''m so jealous. It''s a pity that our beautiful Yin is all alone at home." "It''s such a waste." Yin Xueyang faintly smelled a hint of something, but today she was still in control of herself. "Who says I''m wasting anything? Do you think I sit idle all day? Three or five men wouldn''t be enough for my taste," Although usually chaste, Yin Xueyang was inherently sultry. These years without a man were only because she had high standards and saw no one as worthy. "Keep boasting." "Say one more word and see if I don''t take care of you right here!" "But we are both women," "I have plenty of ways to deal with women too!" The two joked around. Her bestie then said, "How is that kid who bullied your son doing now?" Speaking of Li Zhiyan, Yin Xueyang said with a hint of resentment, "That kid has been dealt with, but he seems to have had no reaction. I''ll have to think of other methods in the future." Dealing with an ordinary student, Yin Xueyang was very confident. Looking at her three snow-white fingers, something came to her mind. ... At four-thirty in the afternoon, having made up his mind, Zhang Honglei arrived at Wu Qingxian''s office. Upon reaching the office, he saw his mom working there, dressed in a qipao, with quite a few of her colleagues around her. "Mom, give me five thousand yuan," Find more chapters on empire "I need it urgently," Wu Qingxian suddenly heard her son''s voice and thought she was hearing things. When she finally put down her work and looked up, she indeed saw her son hade, asking directly for five thousand yuan¡ªthis time, he didn''t even bother with a reason. "Impossible, go back home." Wu Qingxian also knew that indulging her son was like killing him. Under these circumstances, she couldn''t let him continue his downward spiral. That kind of life simply wasn''t for him; shecked the means to support his wastefulness. And he himself didn''t have the extraordinary ability to make money like Li Zhiyan. Continuing like this would only harm him. "Give me the money, Mom." Although deep down, he felt for his mother, at that moment, Zhang Honglei waspletely consumed by greed. His avarice made him want only to get his hands on the five thousand yuan. "Impossible." "Give me the money!" Zhang Honglei''s voice grew more intense, ready to make a scene. He was determined to get the five thousand yuan to squander that day. At this moment, his middle-aged colleague Bao Xunwen''s eyes lit up... Bao Xunwen had coveted Wu Qingxian for quite a long time, having hinted at wanting her to be his mistress. But Wu Qingxian had never shown any interest in Bao Xunwen, nor had she any intention of getting involved with anyone else. Thus, she had never paid any attention to him... However, now Bao Xunwen saw an opportunity; he hadn''t expected Wu Qingxian to have such an irresponsible son. If used correctly... Looking at Wu Qingxian''s fair cheeks and graceful figure, he felt a burning desire that he couldn''t suppress. "Give me five thousand yuan!" Zhang Honglei picked up a folder from Wu Qingxian''s desk and threw it on the ground. Seeing Zhang Honglei gearing up to smash other things on the desk, Wu Qingxian stood up. "Wait here, I''ll go get your money." "After this, apart from your living expenses, I''m not giving you another penny. Her voice was very calm, havingpletely lost hope in her son. She just couldn''t understand how her son, whom she had raised so carefully, had turned out like this. Chapter 313 125 Xiao Yan, dont call me masters wife at times like this_10 It had be this unreasonable. Just a few days ago, he had gone to school to deliver five thousand yuan to him, and even before that, he had snatched a thousand yuan from his own savings, and now he even came to the office to make a scene demanding money. At this time, Bao Xunwen took out five thousand yuan from his bag. This was the money he had withdrawn for his use today, but now it just so happened to be lent to Wu Qingxian. "Xiao Wu, here''s five thousand, you take it first." Bao Xunwen was already 45 years old, so calling Wu Qingxian Xiao Wu was actually quite fitting. After cing the money on Wu Qingxian''s desk, Zhang Honglei grabbed the five thousand yuan and ran. He didn''t dare to look at his mother''s sorrowful eyes. All he could think about was how he could continue to drive his Audi A4 and keep living the high life. Explore more stories at empire After Zhang Honglei left, Wu Qingxian''s tears fell uncontrobly, and she felt indescribable sadness in her heart. Her own son was bing more and more outrageous. Bao Xunwen said with a smile, "Stop worrying so much, don''t stoop to the level of the kids. He''ll realize his mistakes eventually and correct them." "How about we go out for a meal and some drinks with a few colleagues tonight?" "You''re new here, so you might not know about our gatherings. We go out for barbecues and drinks every once in a while." Wu Qingxian felt troubled; if Bao Xunwen had asked her out alone, she would never have gone. But considering that most of the department colleagues were women, and it was amon urrence in the department... Wu Qingxian nodded her head, after all, she couldn''t just be anti-social. She nned to drink a little tonight, but not too much. "Bao, wait a second, I''ll go withdraw money to pay you back." Bao Xunwen waved his hand and said, "It''s just five thousand yuan, no rush." This was not just about five thousand yuan; this was about the ties between two people, but clearly, Wu Qingxian had no intention of getting entangled with Bao Xunwen. She went downstairs, withdrew five thousand yuan, and brought it back to Bao Xunwen. "Bao, please count it." "No need, I trust you." Bao Xunwen felt very disheartened, but thinking about the chance to get Wu Qingxian drunk tonight and then take her to a hotel, his mood uncontrobly surged with excitement. This exquisite mature woman, if he could get his hands on her, then he would truly die without regrets. ... At six o''clock in the afternoon, the colleagues from Wu Qingxian''s department gathered at the food stall. Bao Xunwen generously dered, "Tonight''s drink expense is on me, everyone feel free to drink up, but we''ll go Dutch on the barbecue and crayfish." "Bao is awesome." "So generous!" Bao Xunwen immediately ordered two crates of beer. Most of the department''s people were middle-aged and could hold their liquor. "Bring us a bottle of Wuliangye as well." At this moment, Bao Xunwen was all in; he could tell that this was an excellent opportunity to make his move. So it was essential to get Wu Qingxian drunk. It wasn''t long before the barbecue and crayfish were served one after another. For the people of Wancheng, these two items were indispensable elements of the nightlife. At this moment, Li Zhiyan also came walking over to this side. "Wu Auntie!" Li Zhiyan seemed a bit surprised. "Son, what are you doing here?" Wu Qingxian held Li Zhiyan''s hand, and much of the gloom in her heart dispersed. "Xiao Wu, your family has a second child?" A female colleague asked with curiosity. This second son was truly handsome, seemingly inheriting all of Wu Qingxian''s good looks, even boasting a six-pack.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om A few of the thirstier female colleagues were even looking at him starry-eyed. "Yes, this is my biological son, Li Zhiyan, the son I fed bite by bite and raised." "Come, let mommy give you a kiss." As she spoke, Wu Qingxian pulled Li Zhiyan down and left a kiss on his face. Li Zhiyan felt a bit helpless; Wu Auntie really liked to joke more and more... What she said sounded just like the truth, Chapter 314 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder! ``` "Wu Auntie, don''t joke with me." Li Zhiyan said somewhat helplessly after sitting down at the prompting of Wu Qingxian. "I''m not joking, Xiao Yan, I really am your biological mother. I carried you, how could I not know." "When you were younger, I couldn''t afford to raise you, so I sent you to live with your mom." Wu Qingxian continued to tease Li Zhiyan, her mood clearly lightened by the interaction. Seeing Li Zhiyan always made Wu Qingxian very happy. Laughter erupted around the dining table. Everyone enjoyed this yful, child-enticing moment. Clearly, everyone treated Li Zhiyan like an ignorant child, albeit an exceptionally handsome one. "Alright, alright, I''ll stop teasing you." "This is Li Zhiyan, the son of my best friend." "Let him eat here, I''ll pay for an extra portion." After Li Zhiyan sat down, perhaps due to Wu Qingxian''s particrly bad mood, she held onto his hand and didn''t let go. Across from them, Bao Xunwen felt a pang of envy. This lucky kid was showered with Wu Qingxian''s affection on first meeting, a kiss on the cheek no less, which would surely make him ecstatic if it were him. And then there was the feeling of her fair, soft hands gripping his own. Such a pity, he''s just a kid, unaware of the joys of such tender warmth and fragrance. Such a waste... Li Zhiyan nced at Bao Xunwen sitting opposite him, immediately recognizing the man as someone with a weak constitution, probably reliant on little pills on a regr basis. And here he was, trying to get Wu Auntie drunk. With Li Zhiyan present, Bao Xunwen had no hope of seeding; he was determined to protect Wu Auntie. However, the adage that beauty is a source of trouble had always held true. The lovely aunt by his side was always subject to envying res. As lobsters and barbecues began to fill the table, Li Zhiyan sat there peeling shrimp for Wu Qingxian, his attentiveness arousing much admiration from the surrounding female colleagues. "Xiao Wu, your junior is really good, peeling shrimp for you." "Nowadays, kids are so distant from their elders, it''s rare to see someone who adores their family as he does." Thement prompted a round of yfulints from the other women. "Yeah, my son used to cling to me when he was little. Now he keeps his distance, always attached to his girlfriend, and at home, he barely speaks to me except to ask for money." "Right, as for mine, don''t even mention peeling shrimp; he simply gets annoyed looking at me. A few words and we''re arguing. Xiao Wu, you don''t need to worry too much about your own son, he''s just young. Once he steps into society and realizes how hard it is to make money, he''ll surely change for the better." Hearing this, Wu Qingxian nodded lightly, hoping her own son would improve. Otherwise, she really didn''t know what she would do with her life. "Yeah, Xiao Wu, have a couple of drinks tonight, forget your troubles." "Worstes to worst, you can treat this handsome guy as your son, how nice." Wu Qingxian nodded in response. "Okay, let''s have a couple of drinks." sses of beer were filled up, and Li Zhiyan didn''t stop her; Wu Auntie was in a bad mood, and having a little drink might loosen her up for a chat and would possibly benefit her emotionally. As for Bao Xunwen''s intention to get Wu Auntie drunk, that was something Li Zhiyan would never allow. A ss of beer downed, Li Zhiyan felt the summer heat ease. With his ''Wine God'' skill, a ss of beer was nothing more than a soft drink to him. He continued to peel shrimp for Wu Qingxian, and once peeled, he ced them in front of her. Seeing Li Zhiyan''s thoughtful actions, the women began to tease. "Kid," "What''s your name?" "Auntie, I''m Li Zhiyan." "Li Zhiyan, have you had a girlfriend yet? You''re so nice to your Wu Auntie, we''re all jealous." The other women all nodded in agreement. Wu Qingxianughed and said, "Xiao Yan hasn''t had a girlfriend yet." "So, he''s a virgin then!" The women burst intoughter. Middle-aged women are often quite open, and Li Zhiyan was aware that these women fell into the category of being quite liberated. "Of course, don''t keep teasing Xiao Yan; he''ll get shy." In Wu Qingxian''s heart, Li Zhiyan would always be a little boy, for she had watched him grow up from a tiny child to the man he was today. "Haha,e on, let''s drink." "Before you joined ourpany, we used to drink our fill during gatherings." Wu Qingxian''s tolerance for alcohol was always decent, at least beer was nothing to her. Eating the shrimp that Li Zhiyan had peeled for her, she felt an urge to hug him. Lately, she''d been feeling sad because of Zhang Honglei, but luckily Li Zhiyan was there for her, always around when she was heartbroken. But with so many people around, Wu Qingxian felt a bit shy about hugging Li Zhiyan outright. After a while, Bao Xunwen saw his opportunity approaching. He unscrewed the lid of a bottle of baijiu.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Let''s all have some baijiu tonight, it''s more exciting than just beer." Bao Xunwen said with a purpose. "Wow, Old Bao, you dare to drink baijiu? Your wife just had your second child and is still nursing. Aren''t you afraid she won''t let you into bed when you get home?" Laughing, Bao Xunwen replied, "No problem, my sister-inw and I have been sleeping in separate rooms since she got pregnant, me in the study." ``` Chapter 315 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder!_2 ``` "It''s all good." Thinking of his beautiful wife at home, Bao Xunwen felt a surge of heat in his heart, but ever since they had their second child, his wife Liu Meizhen had refused to let him touch her,ining of a physiological reaction, feeling like vomiting. It was precisely for this reason that he had set his sights on Wu Qingxian, the woman who liked to wear cheongsams was truly the cream of the crop, but despite his hints, she remained indifferent, clearly having high standards. Tonight was a great opportunity. "Come on, everyone, let''s have a couple of drinks." Bao Xunwen poured shots of white liquor for everyone, Wu Qingxian hesitated, but seeing her colleagues raising their sses, she stopped overthinking it. With so many people around, if it were only her and Bao Xunwen, she would never havee out for this meal. But with this crowd, a little bit of drinking should be fine, right? After a small shot of white liquor, Wu Qingxian''s pretty face turned a bit red, carrying a coy charm, which made Bao Xunwen''s blood boil. Seeing Wu Qingxian''s reaction, she apparently couldn''t handle her liquor well, so if he yed his cards right tonight, he might be able to take her down. "Come on, Xiao Wu, Brother Bao toasts you. You''re new here, so everyone has to drink with you." Hearing this, the other colleagues also started egging her on, since every time a new colleague joined the department, they always got them drunk. Tonight, Wu Qingxian had to drink a few rounds. "My tolerance is not good, I''ve had about enough white liquor." Wu Qingxian declined, but with so many colleagues, she really felt it was hard to refuse their kindness. "Xiao Wu, you can''t be like this, we all drank when we were new." "That''s right, don''t worry, we''ve got your back, it''s very safe." Wu Qingxian looked troubled. Li Zhiyan reached out his hand, blocking it in front of Wu Qingxian. "Uncles and aunties, let me drink for Wu Auntie." After Li Zhiyan''s hand blocked the drink for Wu Qingxian, she was startled, and then utterly moved. Xiao Yan was really good to her. "Li Zhiyan, you''re really good to your Wu Auntie, peeling shrimp for her, and now shielding her from drinks." "You can''t be in love with your Wu Auntie, can you? I''ve heard that many young men''s first crushes are mature women they know." A female colleague''s teasing led Wu Qingxian to start getting some wild thoughts. She had been to Li Zhiyan''s room that morning. "Nonsense, of course Xiao Yan likes me, I''ve watched her grow up." "Xiao Wu, don''t y dumb, I''m not talking about the kind of fondness a junior has for a senior, but the kind of fondness between a man and a woman, now it''s trendy to have a May-December romance, isn''t it?" "The two of you are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, quite suitable for each other." Li Zhiyan looked at the woman, and he vaguely seemed to see Li Meifeng''s shadow in her. Indeed, there''s nock of provocateurs anywhere. But for some reason, every time he thought of the word ''provocative'', Li Zhiyan''s mind would invariably think of Yin Xueyang, that woman truly had the aura. "Stop talking nonsense, let''s drink. Xiao Yan, you''re a kid, you can''t drink. I can drink for myself." Bao Xunwen started feeling a headache looking at Li Zhiyan. He had overlooked the boy. Even if he got Wu Qingxian drunk, with the kid still around, reaching his goal would be nearly impossible. If he didn''t drink, it would be a big problem. "Wu Auntie, let me help you drink." Li Zhiyan whispered in Wu Qingxian''s ear. "I have a talent for drinking, and I don''t get drunk. Believe me." Wu Qingxian faintly felt Li Zhiyan''s tongue graze her earlobe. This gave her a tingling sensation, as if she had been shocked. Li Zhiyan had really grown up. "Alright... okay." Wu Qingxian decided that if Li Zhiyan looked unwellter, she would take over his ss and keep drinking. "I''ll drink for Wu Auntie." After Li Zhiyan picked up the ss, he downed its contents in one go. The opposite Bao Xunwen was overjoyed, thinking such a young guy definitely couldn''t hold his liquor, so he could easily drink him under the table.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Then dealing with Wu Qingxian would be much simpler. "Li Zhiyan, still saying you''re not fond of your Wu Auntie, that''s like a hero saving the beauty,e on, auntie toasts you as well." After the colleagues toasted Li Zhiyan in turn, his expression remained unchanged, and he epted all the white liquor with ease. Wu Qingxian observed Li Zhiyan carefully, realizing that Xiao Yan wasn''t boasting, he could handle everything. Compared to her own son, it wasn''t even worth mentioning. The little guy she had watched growing up in split pants, how had he be so perfect now? Bao Xunwen felt something was off, but he didn''t think too much about it and figured another drink would get Li Zhiyan drunk. "Young man, you''ve got a strong capacity for alcohol, you have a bright future,e on, your uncle toasts you." Bao Xunwen picked up his ss to toast Li Zhiyan, and Li Zhiyan epted it just as freely as before. Soon, Bao Xunwen, who had a fairly good alcohol tolerance among ordinary people, passed out on the table. "Haha, young man, you''ve got it! You''ve even drunk old Bao under the table." ``` Chapter 316 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder!_3 The remaining colleagues spent the next while drinking and chatting. It wasn''t until after ten that the drinking party finally broke up. Having left the food stall, Li Zhiyan had sessfullypleted his mission, and his savings had sessfully reached 1.2 million. Not long after leaving the food stall, Wu Qingxian took Li Zhiyan''s hand. The world was cold, but with Li Zhiyan, Wu Qingxian felt a trace of warmth. He was better to her than her own son ever was. "Xiao Yan, thank you for showing up today. Auntie was in a really bad mood, and if it weren''t for you, I might have been upset for a long time." Although she hadn''t drunk too much, she had indeed consumed some alcohol, and now a seductive flush was gradually spreading across Wu Qingxian''s pretty face. "Wu Auntie, I think that Bao Xunwen is not a good person. Don''t drink with him again in the future." Walking with his mother''s friend''s smooth hand in his, Li Zhiyan was in a quite good mood. "Auntie knows, he hinted at it, always telling Auntie about his uing promotion, but I didn''t pay him much attention. I only came out today because it was a departmental gathering." Because she wanted to consider her son''s feelings, Wu Qingxian had never thought about remarrying, even now when her son had disappointed her. She was ustomed to the single life. And no man had caught her eye. "That''s good, Wu Auntie. If you''re ever feeling down, you can call me anytime. No matter where I am, I''lle to keep youpany." Li Zhiyan''s affectionate words deeply moved Wu Qingxian. Just as she was about to hug Li Zhiyan, she suddenly said, "Xiao Yan, wait for me a moment." Because the suburbs of Wancheng were quite deste. Wu Qingxian went to a nearby tree, took a wet wipe from her bag, and squatted down. In such a quiet environment, Li Zhiyan could clearly hear the sound of running water. Beer didn''t get people drunk, but it certainly made it difficult to hold it in. After a while, Wu Qingxian returned to Li Zhiyan''s side, took his hand, and they continued to walk forward. "Xiao Yan, sometimes Auntie wishes you were my son. Unfortunately, there are no ''ifs'' in this world." "You really are so good, Auntie kiss-kiss." Seeing Wu Qingxian wanting to kiss him, Li Zhiyan lowered his head and moved his face closer. "Good boy." After kissing Li Zhiyan''s face several times and leaving red lipstick prints on both of his cheeks, Wu Qingxian finally felt content. Smelling the fragrance of Wu Auntie''s lips, Li Zhiyan seized the opportunity. He gently kissed Wu Qingxian''s lips but dared not to do anything more excessive. In that instant, Wu Qingxian''s mind went nk. What was Xiao Yan doing? It seemed like he was kissing her lips. How could she and he kiss on the lips? That was not proper. "Xiao Yan..." Li Zhiyan still possessed some rationality and awe towards Wu Qingxian, but as soon as Wu Qingxian opened her mouth, he couldn''t hold back anymore. After all, he was an 18-year-old young man full of vigor. Sometimes he just couldn''t control his behavior, like now.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Unable to help himself, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Wu Qingxian, who was d in a cheongsam, and deepened the kiss. At that moment, Wu Qingxian''s mind wentpletely nk again. Li Zhiyan had actually kissed her. He was the child she had watched grow up. She was his mother''s friend, and now... After instinctively responding to Li Zhiyan, Wu Qingxian, somewhat panicked, pushed him away. "Xiao Yan!" "That was too much!" Hearing Wu Qingxian''s somewhat angry voice, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble bout of fear. Wu Qingxian was really different from other women. In his heart, Wu Auntie was like his own mother, a figure of respect. She was his mother''s best friend, who had watched him grow up bit by bit, who cherished him so deeply. If she was angry, he truly feared losing her. "I''m sorry, Wu Auntie. I''ve never been close to a woman, and after I identally touched your lips, I couldn''t help myself..." Listening to Li Zhiyan''s words, Wu Qingxian''s heart softened again. She stepped forward and gently hugged Li Zhiyan, then tiptoed to kiss him on the face. "All right, Xiao Yan, Auntie was a bit harsh on you. Don''t take it to heart." She took Li Zhiyan by the hand and continued walking forward. Wu Qingxian spoke in a low voice, "Xiao Yan, don''t be mad at Auntie." "Auntie is your elder. In Auntie''s heart, you''ll always be the little child in split pants." "What just happened, we cannot do that, think about how your mother would feel if she found out." "After all, Auntie is your mother''s friend." "Don''t kiss Auntie''s mouth again, understand?" Li Zhiyan obediently replied, "I understand, Wu Auntie. Just don''t ignore me from now on. I can''t be without you." Wu Qingxian''s eyes welled up with tears, stopped walking, and pulled Li Zhiyan into an embrace. "Good boy, Auntie can''t be without you either. Auntie loves you." "But from now on, remember to keep a proper distance from Auntie, okay? After all, you have grown up." Saying this, Wu Qingxian gave Li Zhiyan a kiss, the kind one would expect from an elder. Chapter 317 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder!_4 Hand in hand, Li Zhiyan walked Wu Qingxian home. They hugged goodbye at the door, and then Li Zhiyan set out on his way back. ... When Li Zhiyan arrived home, his mom wasn''t waiting in the living room. Entering the master bedroom, he saw her lying in bed reading a book as expected. "Mom, I''m home." "Son, go take a bath and get to bed early." Obediently, Li Zhiyan took a bath and went to lie down in his room, his mind repeatedly savoring the sweet taste of Wu Auntie''s lips. Li Zhiyan could feel his hormones racing through him. Unfortunately, Wu Auntie was too extraordinary for him; her status was an obstacle, and without the right opportunity, advancing their rtionship seemed incredibly difficult. ... The next few days of vacation flew by, with everyone in the ss group talking about returning to school. His mother had gone back to work, and on thest afternoon of the holiday, his close friends mourned the imminent separation from the Brotherhood Inte Cafe with wails and howls. That night, Li Zhiyan also returned to his school dormitory. His arrival caused quite a stir among his dorm mates; they could hardly believe their eyes. "No way, Brother Yan, you''re actually back? Did National Day wear you out?" As Ziang Zexi spoke, he swallowed several Six-vor Rehmanni Pills... Li Zhiyan: "..." Zhang Zhiyuan said enviously, "Stop talking nonsense, someone like Brother Yan, a dragon among men, kidney deficiency my ass. It''s you who''s weak, in Shen City you made a killing." Saying this, Zhang Zhiyuan envied Ziang Zexi; he had only earned some pocket money in Shen City, secretly hoping a wealthy woman would fancy him. Instead, they purely treated him like a waiter! "Haha, Brother Yan definitely isn''t feeble, but I''ve been truly worn out spending all day with my Qiong Sister wife." The rascals chatted for a while when Ziang Zexi seriously said, "Brother Yan, you need to be careful. During the National Day, I heard lots of stuff about Yin Xueyang; she really dotes on her son Yin Qiang." "And that woman isn''t just the department head; she has her own businessworks outside, not someone to mess with. If she targets you, more trouble will probably follow." Li Zhiyan was not the least bit worried; with the system, he just needed to do the right thing at the right time. "Never mind her, I will take her down; I show no mercy to my enemies." All his dorm mates gave Li Zhiyan a thumbs-up. "Brother Yan is awesome, daring to confront Yin Xueyang; this might be a legend in our school."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Exactly!" While chatting with the dorm rascals, the system refreshed with a new mission. "Due to Wang Shangyan taking over someone else''s supermarket franchise rights," "tomorrow morning, the opposing party will send someone pre-poisoned with a mild toxin that induces frothing at the mouth to buy a smoothie from the ice crusher at the supermarket, pretending that the smoothie is poisonous to frame Wang Shangyan." "Please proceed to the following address to capture the evidence on video." "And help Wang Shangyan clear her name from the setup." "Mission reward: One hundred thousand in cash." Li Zhiyan thought of the vibrant figure and stunning beauty of that fiery woman; he knew that this matter needed his attention! Although Auntie Wang was hot-headed and ruthless in her dealings, evennding Lew Huan in the hospital, she genuinely liked him. And Li Zhiyan had a real fondness for her too. Looking back, if it weren''t for Lew Huan harboring evil intentions toward Auntie Rao, attempting to drug him, he would have never met his wife. Now that she was his ex-wife, he intended to make Auntie Wang his wife and have her carry his child. This incident was also an excellent opportunity to grow closer to Auntie Wang. The system''s mention of smoothies also made Li Zhiyan feel nostalgic; he often ate such shaved ice as a child. Now grown up, it had disappeared, but he never expected Auntie Wang to have such a machine¡ªindeed, shaved ice with hardly any cost was a nifty way to make money. Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan told his dorm mates he had something to take care of and left, triggering a wave of envy from the rascals. "Obviously, you can''t expect Brother Yan to sit still." "Exactly, how could a dragon like him be idle? Haha." ... Walking around the campus with his phone, Li Zhiyan spotted thecent Zhang Honglei, jingling a set of keys including an Audi A4''s and his home''s together... This stirred in Li Zhiyan the urge to catch Lew Huan and give him a beating, but ultimately, he restrained himself. The two passed by without a word to each other. As he walked past Zhang Honglei, Li Zhiyan thought of Su Mengyue. He felt that he would definitely end up with her eventually; leading her on and then disappointing her wasn''t his style. He simply didn''t have time to deal with a B-girl right now. Just wait... "I really am a man of deep feelings..." Li Zhiyan thought to himself, his heart brimming with emotion for each woman. Upon reaching the location provided by the system, he activated the video function on his phone. He surreptitiously started recording several thugs in conversation. "There''s three thousand bucks in this job for you. Take this pill." Chapter 318 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder!_5 ``` "Later on, we can extort a nice sum from thatdy boss and even ruin her supermarket!" "This medicine, it can kill people, right?" "Don''t worry, it just causes frothing at the mouth, mildly toxic, as long as we bring down thedy boss''s supermarket, we''ll get an extra two thousand." The ruffian designated to take the medicine was obviously very reluctant. "How about, whoever takes this medicine gets an extra thousand, how does that sound?" Instantly, several ruffians began scrambling to take the medicine. Li Zhiyan: "..." After gathering the evidence, Li Zhiyan went to Jiang Xian''s clothing store. Even though it was already evening, because school had started, the girls had all returned to attend sses. Many of them, having received their living expenses, came over wanting to buy some pretty clothes. Therefore, Auntie Jiang''s store was obviously doing good business. Upon entering the store, Li Zhiyan stood very quietly beside Jiang Xian, waiting for her to finish selling clothes. After thest girl left the store, the clothing store becamepletely quiet. "Xiao Yan." "Auntie Jiang..." "About the matter of considering being my girlfriend that I mentioned before, how are you considering it?" Li Zhiyan took Jiang Xian''s hand and spoke very earnestly. "How about letting Auntie think it over a bit more?" "Okay, Auntie Jiang, I''m not in a hurry. Tonight, I''d like to sleep with you, would you feed me a midnight snack? I''m craving seafood." Jiang Xian hummed softly, then walked over to the door and pulled down the roller shutter. ... The next day, after Li Zhiyan arrived at the ss, Su Mengyue shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Zhiyan. She felt that Li Zhiyan might possibly end up together with her, after all, he said he would consider it. Su Mengyue''s heart also dared not rush. Pressing too hard might scare Li Zhiyan away, and she genuinely liked Li Zhiyan in her heart and hoped to live a peaceful life with him in the future. Just as he sat down, Zhang Zhiyuan said with envy, "I''m really envious, Brother Yan." "With your skills, the ss beauty is head-over-heels for you, now she''spletely mesmerized by you. I heard that Li Hui also likes you, but she feels she can''tpete with Su Mengyue, so she''s given up." "Yeah..." "Several of the pretty girls in ss are into you. Life really isn''t fair." Li Zhiyan didn''t say anything. In his eyes, only Su could be considered pretty. As for the other girls, they just looked somewhat better among ordinary people. They were far from reaching the goddess level. The only one he would end up with in the future was Mengyue. ncing at the time, Li Zhiyan thought about the task at hand. After ss, all the students dispersed to go to theputerb for the next lesson. Li Zhiyan, who had been chatting with Jiang Xian, sat in the ssroom for a while, then raised his head only to see Su Mengyue''s blushing face. "Li Zhiyan..." "Do you want to drink water? It''s hot, I can go to the supermarket and buy you some water." "Don''t get me wrong, I''m not asking for your answer about being together right now." "You can take your time to consider it." Looking at Su Mengyue''s twin ponytails, Li Zhiyan subconsciously wanted to tug on them to test how securely they were tied. "No need, Mengyue, you go to theputerb first. I''ve got something to doter." "Okay, good..." Li Zhiyan''s gentle mention of Mengyue''s name filled Su Mengyue''s heart with joy. ... Watching Su Mengyue''s retreating figure, Li Zhiyan sighed in his heart, it seemed he still had an instinctive appreciation for the innocent, young, thin, twin ponytail type. Afterward, Li Zhiyan visited Han Xueying''s office. But today, other teachers were present, which Li Zhiyan found rather disappointing as it meant he couldn''t give Aunt Han a massage. "Teacher Han." "Li Zhiyan, what is it?" "I won''t be attending the next ss, so I''d like to ask for leave." "Alright..." Han Xueying initially wanted to refuse, but then she remembered during the National Day period, especially in thest few days, how Li Zhiyan massaged her every day. It was clear that he was extremely concerned about her health. "However, you can''t miss thest lesson. You''re a student, after all, and should prioritize learning." "Of course, Teacher Han." Seeing the sweet-looking counselor before him, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but imagine the scene of him handing in homework to Teacher Han every day after school. He really was a dutiful kid. Having taken care of the leave, Li Zhiyan thought about deepening his rtionship with the counselor in the future to make asking for leave more convenient.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ... In the school supermarket, Wang Shangyan with her big, wavy hair was pleased with the business that looked quite good. The supermarket had be her main source of ie since her divorce. If things continued this way, by the end of the year, her savings would increase significantly. As she was tidying up the shelves, Lew Huan''s car stopped at the entrance. "Wife!" These days, Wang Shangyan had been giving him the cold shoulder. As his health recovered, his longing for his wife''s voluptuous figure grew. So today, he came intending to earnestly beg his wife to remarry him. If they got back together, he could live a happy life again. Since Rao Shi Yun was out of the picture, he couldn''t afford to lose his top-quality mature wife again. Seeing Lew Huan arrive, Wang Shangyan didn''t show him any warm reception. ``` Chapter 319 126 Moms best friends advice, you cant do that to an elder!_6 She knew that her favorite child, Li Zhiyan, didn''t want her to have any close contact with Lew Huan. The most important thing was that he made a lot of sense, as Lew Huan had been unfaithful in the past. So now, if they remarried, wouldn''t he cheat again? Therefore, she gave up the idea of remarrying, and increasingly felt that divorcing him after she had sent him into the ICU was the right decision.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "We''re divorced, don''t call me your wife anymore." Wang Shangyan''s voice was very cold, which reminded Lew Huan of the time when he had been desperately pursuing her, and this fiery woman had never shown him a friendly face. He had put in a lot of effort. Only then had Wang Shangyan begun to like him, but why hadn''t he treasured her properly? The women he had been involved with outside, now that he had calmed down, were far inferiorpared to his wife; they weren''t even on the same level. Thinking about it filled him with intense regret. "Wife, don''t say things in anger, I really want to talk to you seriously about remarriage." "If we remarry, I promise..." "I will definitely stay with you faithfully from now on." "I won''t flirt around anymore, I''ll be devoted to you with all my heart." "Let''s have a second child and lead a happy life, how about that?" Wang Shangyan couldn''t be bothered with him. At this time, four oddly dressed delinquents arrived in the school''s supermarket to order shaved ice. Three of the delinquents bought a pack of sunflower seeds and started to crack them open. One thinner delinquent went over to the shaved ice machine. "A strawberry-vored shaved ice, please." The server quickly got to work, and Wang Shangyan had an ominous feeling. She knew very well that it was impossible for a student of the school to dress in such an entric manner, as although there were no requirements for a college student''s appearance, such attire would surely be seen as abnormal by ssmates. College was not closed off; anyone coulde in. These people must be outsiders, but what were outsiders doing in the school? After receiving his drink, the skinny delinquent began to eat voraciously; not long after, he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. This scene attracted the attention of several nearby students. Wang Shangyan realized something was amiss. If word of this incident spread, it would definitely tarnish the reputation of her supermarket and affect the business. It was clear these people had targeted her supermarket. Thinking this, she couldn''t help but feel panicked. After the crowd''s focus was entirely on the foaming delinquent, The rest acted swiftly to block the surveince cameras, then sprinkled some poisonous powder into the ingredient bins. "You use cheap, toxic ingredients to make shaved ice!" As the delinquents shouted loudly, more and more students gathered around, and Wang Shangyan felt an uncontroble panic rising within her. Lew Huan stepped forward angrily and shouted, "Get out!" The delinquents were all skinny and seemed not very strong, so he wanted to use his physical advantage to intimidate them, but upon seeing the few delinquents pull out telescopic daggers, he immediately chickened out and came to stand behind Wang Shangyan. If those delinquents really acted rashly and made a deadly move, Risking his life would certainly not be worth it. Wang Shangyan, with her fiery temper, wanted to call the police right away. Lew Huan''s cowardly demeanor left her utterly disappointed. "Call the police!" This was exactly what the few thugs had hoped for, since they had poisoned the ice-shaving shop''s syrup barrels. A police report and chemical analysis might just allow them toe into a windfall. Thinking about it, they all felt a bit excited. "Auntie Wang, we really do need to call the police." Li Zhiyan stepped forward from behind, positioning himself in front of Wang Shangyan. Soon, the police arrived. After the police had arrived, Wang Shangyan couldn''t help but feel a bit panicked inside. Although it was clear these people hade to scam her, the situation was not in her favor. Just as Wang Shangyan was about to be summoned, Li Zhiyan took out his phone and showed the police officers the video, as well as the footage of the thugs slipping in the drugs. Although the thugs were professional and had likely done this sort of thing before, Li Zhiyan had been on his guard all along. "Officer, this is what happened." Once things became clear, all of the thugs turned pale with fear. They were utterly baffled, for their plot had been so secretive¡ªhow could it have been captured on video! Sitting on the ground, deted, fear finally took over the thugs'' hearts, knowing they would certainly be detained this time, and possibly even sentenced. After all, extortion was no small crime. After the evidence was collected, all four were quickly taken away. Watching the departing police car, Wang Shangyan, filled with gratitude, took Li Zhiyan''s hand and said, "Xiao Yan, how did you manage to film that video?" "Maybe you and your mom were just destined to have me around, Auntie Wang. I was out for a walkst night and saw them doing something bad, so I recorded it." "Xiao Yan, we''re so lucky to have you. I don''t know what I would have done without you." Looking at the wimpy Lew Huan, Wang Shangyan felt bitterly disappointed. "Let''s go inside the cottage to cool down." "It''s too hot out here." After the two entered the cottage hand in hand, Wang Shangyan gently hugged Li Zhiyan. "Xiao Yan, I''m so grateful you''re here. I wouldn''t know what to do without you." "Auntie, how can I thank you?" "Give me a kiss, Auntie Wang." "I like it when you kiss me." "Alright..." Wang Shangyan had grown used to kissing Li Zhiyan; she thought it was just a peck on the cheek anyway. If it hadn''t been for him, her supermarket would really be in big trouble now. Clearly, in Li Zhiyan''s video, those thugs had been paid to target her specifically. Wang Shangyan tiptoed and gave Li Zhiyan a kiss. Looking at Wang Shangyan''s red lips and smelling Auntie Wang''s fragrance, Li Zhiyan could no longer control his impulse. He kissed her softly. After that, they began kissing for real. In an instant, Wang Shangyan''s mind went nk. She was kissed by Xiao Yan! And it was that kind of a real kiss. "Mm, Xiao Yan, don''t..." Outside the door, Lew Huan heard the noisesing from inside clearly. He found the sound very familiar, which puzzled him, what could it be! His wife seemed to be making a whimpering sound. What''s happening? Chapter 320 127 Secluded Lane, Aunt Gu, feed me... Lew Huan found the sound incredibly familiar... It seemed like he had heard it somewhere before, right, wasn''t this the sound of kissing? He had even conjured up the image of saliva being exchanged in his mind. Li Zhiyan, kissing his own wife? Even though Wang Shangyan was now his ex-wife, in Lew Huan''s heart, Wang Shangyan was still his wife. So he obviously possessed a strong sense of ownership over Wang Shangyan, otherwise, he wouldn''t have quarreled with her previously when Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan hugged or even kissed on the cheek. Later, in order to remarry Wang Shangyan, even if Li Zhiyan and Wang Shangyan disyed some intimate behavior, he would pretend not to see it, otherwise, his wife would use him of being petty. But today, he felt like he had heard the sound of exchanging saliva. Anxious, he wanted to push the door open, but Li Zhiyan had already locked it behind him casually. The cabin was indeed too small. So he reached out and casually locked the door. Lew Huan clearly heard the sound of the door being locked, and instinctively, he sensed something was awry. ... Inside the room, Wang Shangyan''s mind wentpletely nk. Li Zhiyan had actually kissed her, and it wasn''t just a peck. It was a real kiss, and Wang Shangyan could feel the awkwardness of Li Zhiyan''s kiss. As a woman with rich experience, Wang Shangyan instinctively wanted to teach Li Zhiyan, entangling and responding to him. But soon, she realized what she was doing. She was kissing an 18-year-old boy, a full 22 years younger than herself. Moreover, her husband was right outside the door. Even though she knew that she and Lew Huan were divorced and no longer had any marital ties, the many years of marriage made her subconsciously feel she was still Lew Huan''s wife. Even though she was single and Li Zhiyan was single, even if they went to a hotel and she got pregnant, it would not be against morals at all... But in her heart, there was always a delusion of infidelity. A sense of immorality spontaneously arose. "Xiao Yan, don''t do this..." "Your Uncle Lew is still outside." Wang Shangyan tried to push Li Zhiyan away, but Li Zhiyan kept clinging to her steadfastly. Wang Shangyan couldn''t end this intermittent kiss. "Uncle Lew hid as soon as you were in danger. What do you care about him for..."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The words of Li Zhiyan reminded Wang Shangyan of the scene that just urred. When those thugs pulled out their knives, he immediately hid, clearly afraid that in a burst of anger, the thugs would kill him, while he didn''t care at all about her safety. But at that moment, it was Xiao Yan who stood up for her. "And Auntie Wang, I''ve never been kissed. Please, just this once, satisfy my curiosity, really..." Li Zhiyan pleaded. Wang Shangyan''s heart softened at that moment; the poor kid, already of age and yet hadn''t had his first kiss. So it was just about teaching him some physiological knowledge. "Alright..." "Okay then..." "Auntie will teach you how to kiss." Wang Shangyan began instructing Li Zhiyan. Thinking of her ex-husband just outside the door, she also felt a surge of vengeful satisfaction. Since her ex-husband had often wronged her in the past, she too could kiss Li Zhiyan as a form of retaliation. "Xiao Yan, that''s great, exactly like that; you learn so fast." Wang Shangyan found that under her guidance, Li Zhiyan quickly became very proficient in kissing. Clearly, he was a student with great potential. This was something to be praised. How could Lew Huan still be unaware of what exactly was happening inside the room? "Wife, open the door!" Continuously shouting his ex-wife''s name, Lew Huan''s heart was filled with burning anger. But there was no response from inside, only the sound of kissing kepting through. To get back at Lew Huan, Wang Shangyan deliberately let her guard down a lot. It wasn''t until ten minutester that the two of them separated. "Auntie Wang..." Li Zhiyan hugged Wang Shangyan, burying his head in her chest. At this moment, Wang Shangyan''s heart was a bit shocked; Li Zhiyan was truly a young man of great promise. Some things were really unthinkable. "Xiao Yan, you can''t do this to auntie anymore, understand?" "This time, auntie is just teaching you how to kiss and also to repay you for your kindness. Let''s go out." After the two walked out, Lew Huan, who had been standing at the counter, also came over. Because there were other people in the supermarket, he did not make a scene as that would beughable to others. "What did you two do in there!" "Nothing. Xiao Yan helped me fix my nails," said Wang Shangyan nonchntly. The blush on her pretty face had not yet faded, her mature charm entuated by that blush. She looked extremely seductive, which made Lew Huan''s heart burn even more with rage. But he had no evidence of them kissing. "I know what you''re thinking, but Xiao Yan and I are good friends. I am his elder by 22 years; nothing dirty like what''s in your mind will happen." "Lew Huan, you really disgust me." Li Zhiyan listened as the outspoken Wang Shangyan confronted Lew Huan, feeling a moment of secret satisfaction. The way Lew Huan had coveted Auntie Rao back then made Li Zhiyan really despise him. Chapter 321 127 Secluded Lane, Aunt Gu, feed me..._2 "And, I need to reiterate something, Lew Huan, we are already divorced," "Even if I really did have something with Xiao Yan, it''s none of your business," "Seeing how you just dodged the moment you faced danger, you''re such a coward. You''re just afraid of identally getting stabbed to death and not being able to enjoy your petty bourgeoisie lifestyle anymore." "Coward, wimp, not even half as tough as Xiao Yan!" Thinking about how Li Zhiyan had stood in front of her just now, Wang Shangyan felt that he was indeed a very tough man, Lew Huan really wanted to p Wang Shangyan, but he didn''t dare. In the past, when he was younger, he had often fought with Wang Shangyan, but this woman''s tactics were too ruthless. He was genuinely afraid of her; he had no doubts that if he provoked her too much, she would not hesitate to stab him. "You''re too agitated right now. Let''s talk when you''ve calmed down," Lew Huan looked at his beautiful ex-wife, and deep down he still couldn''t bear to let go of Wang Shangyan, so he decided to cool off first. If he acted out of anger now, there would be no hope of reconciliation with Wang Shangyan ever again. Watching Lew Huan''s retreating back, Wang Shangyan''s eyes were already filled with a touch of disgust. After seeing his cowardly behavior in the face of danger today, Wang Shangyan hadpletely lost hope in this man who always ran away from problems. "Xiao Yan, I really want to thank you for today," "If it weren''t for you, Auntie''s supermarket would have definitely been affected," Looking at the ingredient buckets thrown into the trash, she felt at peace. "Auntie Wang, I''m going back to ss now," "Alright... Xiao Yan,e visit the supermarket when you''re free. From today on, Auntie will often be at the supermarket," With her son studying away and Lew Huan having severely disappointed her, Wang Shangyan felt that Li Zhiyan was now her emotional support. Being with Li Zhiyan was something that made her feel secure. "Sure, Auntie Wang, I wille to keep youpany often," Noticing that no one was paying attention, Li Zhiyan''s gaze once againnded on Wang Shangyan''s tempting red lips. He swiftly kissed her, and though Wang Shangyan''s instinct was to reprimand Li Zhiyan, he pulled away after just a brief moment. "Auntie Wang, I''m off to ss now," "You shouldn''t kiss Auntie..." Watching Li Zhiyan run off, Wang Shangyan murmured, "Lips..." Although she said this, the memory of how much he seemed to enjoy her saliva in the cabin made her feel extremely shy. Today had truly been crazy; how could she have done such a thing with Li Zhiyan? Was it because in her heart, she started seeing him as a man, or was it purely to retaliate against Lew Huan for the years of hurt he had inflicted on her? But the loneliness and repression of being single for such a long time seemed to find some relief in her closeness with Xiao Yan. ncing at her fingers, she returned to the small cabin and locked the door. ... When Li Zhiyan arrived at theputer room, the chatterboxes in the dorm were still chatting nonstop, and Su Mengyue, her pretty face blushing, brought a bottle of iced tea to Li Zhiyan and then returned to her seat. This iced tea was what she had just bought from the supermarket; she had seen Li Zhiyaning out of the supermarket, but since they were going in different directions, she hadn''t managed to talk to him. Normally, Su Mengyue would only spend money on the two mao per pot boiled water. But for Li Zhiyan, she was willing to buy him a drink with the money she earned from her part-time job. Zhang Zhiyuan''s heart was bursting with envy. He had fallen for Su Mengyue the moment he started school, but now she remained a devoted pursuer of Li Zhiyan. "Brother Yan, I''m really jealous of you, ah. Behind every woman, there''s a... nauseating man," "I''m indifferent towards thetter part," Li Zhiyan casually joked with his roommates. At the same time, he was chatting with Gu Wanzhou, thinking about inviting Aunt Gu out on a date during the National Holiday. But Gu Wanzhou, after all, was a businessman and often busy with social engagements, including Auntie Rao, whosepany''s revenue was continually rising, making her busier as well. He found it difficult even to see her. "Wanzhou, the contract girlfriend agreement is about to expire, aren''t you going toe out on a date with me?" Gu Wanzhou, busy at work in thepany, received the QQ message and remembered the incident during Li Meifeng''s birthday when she, Rao Shi Yun, Wang Shangyan, and Li Meifeng had been resting in a room. The three of them had fallen asleep, and it was she who had gone out to see off Li Zhiyan. It was on that asion that she had kissed Li Zhiyan, recalling which made her feel immensely guilty. Initially, Gu Wanzhou had always thought about how to steer Li Zhiyan''s affections away from women 20 years his senior and to focus on girls his own age, something that Gu Wanzhou very much wanted to achieve.N?v(el)B\\jnn In the end, however, Gu Wanzhou never expected that she would do such a thing with Li Zhiyan after getting drunk. So, being busy was one thing, and being unable to face Li Zhiyan was another. However, thinking about how she hadn''t been doing her duty as a contract girlfriend, Gu Wanzhou felt that she should go on a date with Li Zhiyan after all, especially since he was so fond of her, an elder. Chapter 322 127 Secluded Lane, Aunt Gu, feed me..._3 I couldn''t let Li Zhiyan be too disappointed... After today, my role as a temporary girlfriend wille to a temporary end. In the future, I can resume my elder status in front of him. "Then we''ll see each other tonight." "Auntie will pick you up in the evening." "Let''s have dinner together tonight." Gu Wanzhou''s words made Li Zhiyan''s heart surge with excitement. If there was a ranking for the affection of the various aunties in his heart, Aunt Gu would definitely be at the very top. In his previous life, she had given him a lot of tenderness, which was why, after his rebirth, the first thing he did was confess to Aunt Gu. Deep down, Li Zhiyan yearned to have a sweet romance with Gu Wanzhou.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Okay, Aunt Gu, I''ll wait for you." ... After school, Li Zhiyan waited at the school gate for Gu Wanzhou''s Mercedes-Benz E. "Come on, get in." As he took the passenger seat, Li Zhiyan looked at the driver''s seat where Gu Wanzhou sat, her impressive bust eliciting some emotion from him. Indeed, after buckling up the seatbelt, the contours showed even better. He found his eyes lingering on Aunt Gu''s silky-legged charm. "Aunt Gu, it''s really not easy to get to see you." "You''re still my girlfriend, yet you can''t be with me every day." Gu Wanzhou felt a mix of pity and amusement in her heart. "Dear, Auntie is sorry, but it''s really not realistic for Auntie to be with you every day." "Tonight, Auntie will spend a good time with you after dinner, how about we go out to y?" "Anywhere you want to go, I''ll apany you." Li Zhiyan could sense Gu Wanzhou''s guilt and felt it was a perfect opportunity. He actually still needed the role of temporary girlfriend. It was the bond that bridged the boundary beyond that between him and Aunt Gu. If only he could extend the girlfriend arrangement. "Then, Aunt Gu, after dinner, let''s go to the amusement park and the zoo," he proposed. "I want to visit there a bit more." While driving, Gu Wanzhou replied, "Going to the amusement park and then the zoo? Aren''t you tired?" "Actually, it is quite tiring, but soon you won''t be my girlfriend, so I want to spend more time with you," he said earnestly. His serious tone warmed Gu Wanzhou''s heart. "Alright, Auntie will spend more time ying with you tonight." After driving Li Zhiyan to the restaurant... Just as they walked in, Gu Wanzhou wanted to flee because she saw her daughter Yu Sisi and a few ssmates dining there. What a coincidence. But it was toote to leave now; Yu Sisi had already seen Gu Wanzhou. "Mom, you''re here for dinner too?" Yu Sisi called out to her mom, but quickly noticed Li Zhiyan following behind her mother. This set off a whirlwind of thoughts in her mind. The unattainable is always the most appealing... So recently, Yu Sisi found herself growing more fond of Li Zhiyan. But now, her own mother was having dinner with him. Could it be that her mother was with him? Subconsciously, Yu Sisi felt a surge of jealousy towards Gu Wanzhou. Her mother was with the man she liked. Wasn''t that her mother taking away the man she fancied? But then again... Yu Sisi thought it impossible; how could a sophisticated and elegant woman like her mother be with an 18-year-old boy? "Yeah, I''ve brought Xiao Yan here for dinner; he helped me with some things before," Gu Wanzhou said with a somewhat guilty additional exnation. "Hello, Auntie." All the girls greeted Gu Wanzhou politely. "Auntie,e sit and eat with us." Gazing at the handsome Li Zhiyan, stars almost seemed to twinkle in the girls'' eyes. Gu Wanzhou waved her hand. "I won''t disturb you young people''s chat." Watching her mother and Li Zhiyan go to the next table, Yu Sisi felt an indescribable difort, yet she couldn''t quite articte her feelings. After sitting down, Gu Wanzhou and Li Zhiyan ordered their food. When the server left, Li Zhiyan said softly, "Aunt Gu, let me give you a massage." While speaking, Li Zhiyan took hold of Gu Wanzhou''s delicate hand. "That''s not okay..." "Aunt Gu, I want to ease your pain with a massage; your neck often hurts, don''t you remember? This is for your own good." In fact, after Li Meifeng''s birthday... Gu Wanzhou felt jealous inside and grew okay with some actions. Like hugging Li Zhiyan... After all, Wang Shangyan and Rao Shi Yun had done more shameless things than her, and if she let Xiao Yan do nothing, his affection towards her as an elder might gradually wane. Deep down, Gu Wanzhou did not want to lose to Rao Shi Yun or Wang Shangyan, especially since she was the first to know Li Zhiyan. "Oh Dear, it''s not right. Sisi is over there; it''s inappropriate for her to see us like this." Gu Wanzhou was well aware of her daughter''s feelings for Li Zhiyan. So she was still considerably apprehensive. From recent conversations with her daughter, she could tell that her daughter had developed feelings for Li Zhiyan. Gu Wanzhou, with only one daughter, did not wish to see Yu Sisi hurt or upset. "It''s fine, Aunt Gu, I''ll massage you under the table, and Yu Sisi won''t be able to see," he assured. "Besides, I don''t like her; it''s you I like." "Let me help you." Chapter 323 127 Secluded Lane, Aunt Gu, feed me..._4 As he spoke, Li Zhiyan didn''t bother to ask for Gu Wanzhou''s consent. He picked up her right leg, ced it on his own, and gently untied the shoces. Her stocking-d feet were revealed. "Aunt Gu, let me take your stockings off," Li Zhiyan said. After removing Gu Wanzhou''s stockings, he stuffed them into his pocket. Then he gently began to massage her. "No, behave..." "You''re so good at this, behave." Feeling the strength of Li Zhiyan''s massage, Gu Wanzhou subconsciously closed her eyes. At that moment, her heart was already filled with embarrassment. On the other side, Yu Sisi found it very strange to see her mother with closed eyes sitting together with Li Zhiyan. What were Mom and Li Zhiyan doing? It couldn''t possibly be... Although there were some odd thoughts in her mind, Yu Sisi firmly believed her mother was a sensible person and wouldn''t do anything inappropriate with Li Zhiyan. Subsequently, Li Zhiyan began to massage Gu Wanzhou''s other leg. The process was the same, after removing the stockings and stashing them in his pocket. He then started to explore her beautiful legs up and down. Throughout the meal, Li Zhiyan''s left hand never stopped massaging Gu Wanzhou. Several times Gu Wanzhou wanted to stop Li Zhiyan''s hand, but thinking about his filial piety towards her, she restrained herself. After they finished dinner, Gu Wanzhou took Li Zhiyan and headed towards the restaurant''s exit. "Sisi, Mom has something to attend to, you guys go ahead and eat. I''ll pay for your table," she said. "Thank you, Aunt Gu." The girls all thanked her profusely until Gu Wanzhou paid and left the restaurant. Only then did they start chattering eagerly among themselves. "Sisi, your mom is so beautiful." "Yeah, she looks so pretty and elegant, and she drives a Mercedes! My life''s dream is to be a woman like that." Yu Sisi nodded with some pride, but then she suddenly remembered, didn''t her mother leave just now with bare legs? When she arrived, she seemed to be wearing stockings, right? Could she have remembered wrong? ... In the car, Gu Wanzhou, with a slight blush on her cheeks, said, "Give me my stockings back." "Aunt Gu, let me put them on for you. Since I took them off, I should also help you put them on," Li Zhiyan offered. The car was filled with the scent of Gu Wanzhou, the aroma of a mature woman constantly stimting Li Zhiyan''s nerves. "Hmm..." Although it was presumptuous, keeping in mind that today was thest day of being temporary lovers, Gu Wanzhou let Li Zhiyan be a little bold. In her heart, she also felt that she had indeed spent too little time with Li Zhiyan this month. "Then extend your leg here." Gu Wanzhou thought for a moment, then clenched her legs together and stretched them out towards Li Zhiyan. The bodycon skirt covered most of her thighs, so she wouldn''t show more than she intended. Gently removing Aunt Gu''s shoes, Li Zhiyan took out the stockings. He slipped them onto Gu Wanzhou''s feet and gradually pulled them up her beautiful legs. After putting on one, he started with the other. Towards the end, he had to resist the urge to kiss Gu Wanzhou''s thigh. The warmth of the touch caused a natural reaction from Gu Wanzhou. "Behave..." But Li Zhiyan didn''t continue with anything inappropriate; instead, he put her shoes on for her. "Sorry, Aunt Gu, your legs are just too captivating, I couldn''t help but want to kiss them." "Let''s go to the amusement park," Gu Wanzhou said as she drew her legs back. Gu Wanzhou drove towards the amusement park while Yu Sisi, back in the restaurant, looking at the vague outlines of cars outside, deepened her suspicions.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ... Upon arriving at the amusement park, Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou''s hand. "Aunt Gu." "Holding your hand like this feels great. Actually, from the very first time I saw you," "I wanted to hold your hand just like this." Li Zhiyan''s tone carried a hint of nostalgia. "You kid, other people like their ssmates. Who else likes their ssmate''s mother like you do?" "But I just like you..." Hearing Li Zhiyan''s childlike words, Gu Wanzhou felt extremely helpless inside. How could this kid have fallen for her? "Actually, Behave, I''d still like you to think of me as your mother." "Forget it, Aunt Gu, you know, I just want to be with you." "I even hope that I can hold your hand every day in the future." Holding hands, the passersby didn''t find it odd; by their ages, the two appeared to be mother and son, and it''s normal for a mother and son to hold hands while visiting an amusement park. "Okay, Behave, what ride do you want to go on?" Gu Wanzhou was somewhat avoiding the topic of being together with Li Zhiyan, especially since her daughter had expressed she liked him. "Aunt Gu, let''s ride the Ferris wheel. From up there, we can see the night view of Wancheng." "Alright, Behave, I''ll go with you." On thest day of their pretend couple status, Gu Wanzhou indulged Li Zhiyan, following his wishes. After buying tickets and boarding the Ferris wheel, it wasn''t long before it began to turn. Looking at the night view of Wancheng from the sky, Gu Wanzhou''s beautiful eyes also shimmered with longing. "Behave, I''ve forgotten how long it''s been since I''ve rxed like I am now. Auntie has devoted all her time to her business." "In the future, I''m always avable toe out and have fun with you," Li Zhiyan offered. Embracing Gu Wanzhou and burying his head in her chest, Li Zhiyan couldn''t help but be drawn to the profound allure of Gu Wanzhou. Chapter 324 : 127 Secluded Lane, Aunt Gu, feed me..._5 Inhaling the fragrant scent, Li Zhiyan was utterly intoxicated. "What are you doing... Xiao Yan..." Gu Wanzhou''s face began to heat up. "Aunt Gu, you said I could hug you." "I want to embrace you properly, otherwise I''m afraid I won''t have another chance." Gu Wanzhou didn''t say a word, tacitly allowing Li Zhiyan''s action, but her heart kept echoing the words like "feeding" that Li Meifeng had said earlier. After a while, Li Zhiyan lifted his head slowly and moved closer to Gu Wanzhou''s pretty face. "Aunt Gu..." "I want to kiss you just like that time in the hotel, is that okay?" Li Zhiyan''s breath brushed against Gu Wanzhou''s face. The memories of before alsopletely emerged in Gu Wanzhou''s heart. "That time Auntie had drunk too much, it''s not okay..." "Alright, then..." Li Zhiyan gave up so easily, which inexplicably made Gu Wanzhou feel a sense of loss, startling her. Could it be that in her heart, she too was looking forward to kissing Li Zhiyan? "Aunt Gu, may I kiss your cheek then?" "Okay..." Gu Wanzhou closed her eyes. Seeing Aunt Gu in her business attire look so desirable, Li Zhiyan pressed a kiss onto her pretty cheek. "Good boy... don''t lick Auntie''s face..." ... When the pair left the amusement park, Gu Wanzhou''s face was flushed. She had agreed to a kiss on the cheek, yet the little rascal went on to kiss her face for half an hour. Every area had been covered by his kisses, and naturally, the lips had unavoidably brushed against some parts. Li Zhiyan couldn''t have done it deliberately, could he? After reaching the zoo, Gu Wanzhou bought two small fruit baskets to feed the animals, even though it was nearly closing time at night. Still, there were quite a few visitors. The majority were young couples; the zoo''s admission was only twenty yuan, making it an ideal ce for dates. "Xiao Yan, after tonight, Auntie''s romantic rtionship with you wille to an end." After feeding a baboon an apple, Gu Wanzhou whispered softly. As she spoke these words, there was an immediate emptiness in her heart, as if an important part of it had been taken away. Having been single for so many years, Gu Wanzhou, despite not having seen Li Zhiyan very often during this time as his temporary girlfriend, always felt subconsciously like she was a woman with someone to lean on. She had a man, and now that she was talking about ending this temporary romance, the sinking and sad feelings were difficult to suppress. Li Zhiyan didn''t speak; he felt a bit sorrowful too, but it was not the right time to respond. He had to entuate Aunt Gu''s sense of loss to facilitate what he had to do next. "Aunt Gu." "Then I must hold your hand more, otherwise, I won''t be able to in the future." Gu Wanzhouughed lightly, "It''s okay, even if Auntie isn''t your girlfriend in the future." "You can still hold Auntie''s hand in the future, after all, Auntie is still your elder." "It''s quite normal for elders and juniors to hold hands." Before Gu Wanzhou had finished speaking, Li Zhiyan kissed her face several times consecutively, and a passing couple witnessed this scene. This sent Gu Wanzhou''s heart into an uncontroble state of panic. Thankfully, they didn''t pay too much attention to it. "Xiao Yan, there are so many people here." "I don''t care, after today, I won''t be able to kiss your face, so I have to make the most of today." Gu Wanzhou felt an urge to say that he could also kiss her face in the future, but when she thought of Yu Sisi, she held back. She and Xiao Yan should maintain the proper distance between a man and a woman; it was best to let him return to the right track. They continued walking forward and reached the monkey enclosure. Li Zhiyan, looking at a pair of monkeys gazing at each other on the artificial hill, said, "I really wish I could do the same with you, not having to think about anything and just sitting facing each other every day." Li Zhiyan expressed his love for Gu Wanzhou unabashedly. This caused Gu Wanzhou''s heart to flutter with thoughts she dared not dwell on. "You want to sit and stare at each other every day with Auntie, huh? Actually, it wouldn''t be impossible." "Auntie likes you the best, you know." Just then, the two monkeys approached each other. And then they began the act of procreating.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Li Zhiyan: "..." "Let''s go see the tigers." Gu Wanzhou, with her charming face blushing, took Li Zhiyan to see other animals. The two walked along a narrow corridor. Suddenly, a tiger roared, a sound that made Gu Wanzhou, out of instinct, throw herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms in fright. Li Zhiyan could understand Aunt Gu''s reaction; it''s only when one is face-to-face with a beast like a tiger that one can truly appreciate how terrifying their roar can be. It''s a fear that reaches deep into your bones, having a frighteningly powerful deterrent effect on animals. Without the truth in hand, a person encountering a tiger has absolutely no chance of survival. Of course, on the inte, it''s just a sliding tackle. "Aunt Gu, don''t be afraid..." "Your boyfriend will protect you!" "Wanzhou, my dear little Wanzhou." "Even if the tigeres out, one sliding tackle is all it would take to kill it." With that, Li Zhiyan softly kissed Gu Wanzhou on the forehead. Li Zhiyan''s words also made Gu Wanzhou cover her mouth and start tough. Gu Wanzhou has always been a very intellectual woman; even whenughing, her grace and poise are on full disy. "How would you slide tackle?" After her fear dissipated, Gu Wanzhou continued walking forward, pulling along Li Zhiyan''s hand, feeling something in her heart. Having Li Zhiyan as a boyfriend really gave her a sense of security. "It''s like this." "Aunt Gu, if a tiger runs at me and I have a dagger in my hand." "Then the tiger usually pounces, and I''ll just fall to the ground with a sliding tackle," "Raise the dagger." "As the tiger leaps at me, my dagger just happens to sh open its belly." "And the tiger is taken down with a slide tackle." Gu Wanzhou couldn''t stopughing as she covered her mouth. Talking with Xiao Yan was really delightful. At ten o''clock, the zoo closed. The two also left the zoo, which was located in a rather secluded area, with plenty of farnd nearby. So, after the couples had all left, the ce quieted down. "Aunt Gu... " "After we break up today, our rtionship as a couple will end." The jovial Gu Wanzhou''s heart suddenly sank when those words came out of Li Zhiyan''s mouth. She felt very ufortable. "Let''s go for a walk on that path over there." The distant streetlights cast some faint light on the road, so walking was possible. "Okay..." This time, Gu Wanzhou took the initiative to hold Li Zhiyan''s hand. As they reached the path and walked for a while, Gu Wanzhou suddenly stopped. She embraced Li Zhiyan on her own initiative. "Darling, starting tomorrow, Auntie will have to go back to being your elder." "So, let Auntie indulge you just this once." "It''s thest time, okay?" "Darling." With that, she tiptoed and initiated a kiss with Li Zhiyan. Li Zhiyan was stimted by the sudden passionate kiss, his hormones exploding. Thinking about Aunt Gu, whom he greatly respected, kissing him voluntarily, his heart raced with excitement. "Darling..." "Kiss me..." Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Gu Wanzhou''s slender waist, eagerly reciprocating the kiss and soon taking the lead. "Aunt Gu, may I make another excessive request?" The pair separated from their kiss. But they didn''t move apart, Gu Wanzhou wanted to continue and kiss Li Zhiyan again. This kiss was something she was extremely reluctant to end. Tomorrow her romantic rtionship with Li Zhiyan woulde to an end, so this was her final moment of madness. Let''s treat it like a kiss in a dream. "Darling..." Gu Wanzhou said seductively, "What request?" "Auntie will try her best to satisfy you." Seeing Gu Wanzhou''s panting appearance, Li Zhiyan said, "Auntie... could you feed me?" Chapter 325 : Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin ``` "What..." Gu Wanzhou had not expected Li Zhiyan to make such a request of her. For a moment, her mind went nk. Hey, Li Zhiyan. The surrounding area was very quiet, with only some weak light from the distant streetmps casting over. The weather had turned slightly chilly that night. But as Gu Wanzhou kissed Li Zhiyan, she felt an overwhelming warmth in her heart. It had been too long since she''d felt this way. Gu Wanzhou''s cheeks grew hotter, but she did not stop responding to Li Zhiyan''s kiss. Li Zhiyan held Gu Wanzhou tightly, taking in the fragrance emanating from Aunt Gu. The warmth from Aunt Gu''s body made him hold her even tighter. "Aunt Gu, is it good?" Li Zhiyan hadn''t anticipated anything excessive to happen with Gu Wanzhou; he just wanted to extend the term of their pretend girlfriend status. If he couldn''t maintain this role, continuing to develop their rtionship with Aunt Gu would be difficult. Li Zhiyan also understood the principle: to open a window, you must first flip the roof. By making an overboard request, renegotiating the girlfriend contract would seem much easier. "No, Xiao Yan..." "Auntie has already been very indulgent with you today." "We can''t continue to be excessive." Thinking back to feeding Li Zhiyan dinner, Gu Wanzhou felt it uneptable. In her heart, Li Zhiyan was still just an 18-year-old child, a younger rtive of hers. Even kissing him now seemed too impulsive. "Aunt Gu, please..." Li Zhiyan kissed Gu Wanzhou, his words muffled; Aunt Gu''s proactive kiss was too rare an opportunity, he didn''t want it to end. "No..." Gu Wanzhou briefly broke free from Li Zhiyan, and as she looked into his eyes, her gaze was determined. Kissing was already stepping out of bounds. After Li Zhiyan pleaded for a while, Gu Wanzhou remained unmoved. Li Zhiyan continued kissing her, and Gu Wanzhou responded passively. After a while, he let go of Gu Wanzhou. Once their embrace ended, Gu Wanzhou could not control the feeling of loss that filled her. Her month-long pretend rtionship with Li Zhiyan wasing to an end, and she felt an uncontroble sadness. "Good boy, let Auntie indulge your whims just for today." "You can''t kiss Auntie again after this." "I understand, Aunt Gu." Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou''s hand and they started walking back together. Gu Wanzhou''s heart felt somewhat stifled. "Aunt Gu, could you agree to one thing for me?" "The thing just now is not okay." "I''m talking about something else, I promise it won''t be excessive." Li Zhiyan''s words eased Gu Wanzhou''s worries. "What is it?" "Let''s extend our pretend couple rtionship for a bit longer, how about ten more years?" Gu Wanzhou couldn''t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. "Ten years? By then Auntie will be very old, aren''t you being too greedy?" Li Zhiyan didn''t care about the age issue. If it were not for the system, age would indeed be an insurmountable gap, but now Aunt Fang was bing more attractive and her skin was improving. For the sake of Aunt Gu''s perpetual youth, he would also need to help her. "It''s not that greedy, Aunt Gu. Ten years will pass quickly. I want to continue being your boyfriend for ten more years, and when there''s nothing else, I''d stille out with you to have fun." Gu Wanzhou touched Li Zhiyan''s hair and said, "No, that''s too long, your request is too much." As she talked with Li Zhiyan about this matter, Gu Wanzhou inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation, she was now reluctant to end their rtionship. The fact that Li Zhiyan wanted to continue their couple status made her subconsciously want to agree. "Then make it five years!" "Aunt Gu, let''s do five years." "What do you say?" As he spoke, Li Zhiyan once again wrapped his arms around Gu Wanzhou''s waist, then held her in his embrace, and slowly approached her face. He gently kissed Gu Wanzhou''s left cheek and continued, "Aunt Gu, what do you say, five more years?" "Behave, first let go of Auntie, we''re not a couple anymore." "If you don''t agree, I won''t let go." As he said this, Li Zhiyan kissed Gu Wanzhou''s lips, but only briefly, not daring to go too far, still holding great respect for Aunt Gu, his elder.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om At this moment, all he hoped for was to confuse Gu Wanzhou''s feelings so that she would continue to be his girlfriend. The warm and terrifying sensation from the lips made Gu Wanzhou''s heartbeat elerate. "Behave, we agreed no more kissing, let go of Auntie." "I didn''t kiss, Aunt Gu, I only pecked your cheek. If you don''t agree to renew, I won''t let go." "You... rascal..." Although Gu Wanzhou''s words were scolding, there wasn''t much anger to be heard in her voice. "Aunt Gu, just five years, please agree to be my girlfriend for five more years." "Five years, do you want Auntie to stay with you forever?" "Yes, of course. Aunt Gu, if we could renew for fifty years, that would be even better." "No, that''s too long." Gu Wanzhou hadn''t realized that the discussion had shifted to the length of the extension. Her reaction excited Li Zhiyan; it seemed there was hope for this matter. ``` Chapter 326 : Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin_2 "Then four years and 11 months." "Goodness, why didn''t you just say four years, 11 months, and 30 days." "Let''s do as you say." "Rascal..." Gu Wanzhou found that she really had no way of dealing with Li Zhiyan, this kid had truly be irreceable in her life after so much had happened. She had let him enter her life, and now she could never extricate him from it. "Then four years..." "No way..." Li Zhiyan bargained at Gu Wanzhou''s lips, giving her the illusion that he could continue kissing her at any moment. After some back and forth bargaining between the two, they finally settled on half a year. "So it''s settled then, Aunt Gu, our rtionship as a couple will continue for another six months, and you''ll be my girlfriend the whole time." "Um..." "Aunt Gu, you''re an adult, you can''t go back on your word. You must keep your promises." "Goodness, when have I ever not kept my word?" Gu Wanzhou had always been decisive and naturally wouldn''t go back on her word to Li Zhiyan. "Let''s go, Auntie will take you back to school." After getting into the car, Gu Wanzhou slowly came to her senses, realizing that her emotions had been pulled in too many directions today. Unconsciously, she had be Li Zhiyan''s girlfriend for another half-year. It was clear she was on board with a tricky n, and it seemed like the kind that she couldn''t get off... After dropping Li Zhiyan off at the school gate, Gu Wanzhou softly said, "Goodness, make sure to rest well when you get back." "As a student, you must study hard." "Aunt Gu, you have to ask me out on dates when you''re free." "I know..."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ... When she got home, Gu Wanzhou bathed as usual before returning to her bedroom. The events that took ce on the small road outside the zoo kept echoing in her mind; she and Li Zhiyan had kissed for such a long time. And, she had agreed to be his girlfriend for half a year more. Six months, what exactly could happen? However, thinking about how outstanding Li Zhiyan already was, she looked at her own smooth and fair middle finger. ... Back in the dormitory, Li Zhiyan was also reminiscing about today''s events. Although persuading Aunt Gu to continue being his girlfriend was a risky affair, he finally got his wish. If he wanted to continue developing a rtionship with Aunt Gu, the status of a temporary girlfriend was essential; otherwise, she would always see him as a younger rtive. Ziang Zexi and his friends kept making cheekyments. "It''s certainly not easy for Brother Yan to make a trip back to school." "Right, Brother Yan is usually out creating legends of dragons, and today he actually came back, which is indeed quite a feat!" Li Zhiyan chatted with Su Mengchen while making saucy remarks with a few others. Latterly, he nced at his bank card with 1.2 million, already nning the tasks for Auntie Jiang. To quickly break through to three million in savings and reach an annual ie of ten million, he couldn''t afford to miss out on any task. Moreover, since Auntie Jiang was so kind to him, he was definitely going to give his all for her matters. Chatting with the others, Li Zhiyan said, "Actually, I think the most vorful line of poetry is from Du Mu, ''Shapes of mountains, frost leaves are redder than February blossoms,'' the first line is quite interesting." Ziang Zexi and his friends were taken aback at first, before expressing admiration. "Brother Yan is awesome, how have I never realized before that this line of poetry has such depth!" ... In the girls'' dormitory, Su Mengchen was chatting with Li Zhiyan. The memories of the events in Sucity with Li Zhiyan continuously reverberated in her mind, that time Li Zhiyan helped her massage her feet and legs. And he was so kind to her mother, treating both her and her mother as if they were his own family. Every time she thought about it, Su Mengchen would feel her face warm slightly. Though they hadn''t met during this period, the two had been chatting online all the time, and Li Zhiyan reached out to her every day. This made Su Mengchen more determined to be with Li Zhiyan, though she acknowledged that oveing the psychological barrier inside would take some time. "Chenchen, you''re smiling so sweetly. You couldn''t have made progress with Li Zhiyan, could you?" Although the dorm had turned off the lights, the roommate in the opposite bed still saw Su Mengchen''s sweet smile and felt that there must be quite some progress between Su Mengchen and Li Zhiyan. "There... there''s been some." The several girls in the dorm didn''t expect Su Mengchen to actually give an answer. They could clearly sense the change in Su Mengchen;pared to the beginning of the school term, she had made enormous progress. The girls crowded around to gossip, and Su Mengchen, too, kept oveing her internal barriers, sharing about Li Zhiyan with them. ... Another person who was not at peace at this time was Wu Qingxian, Li Zhiyan''s mom''s best friend. She was very restless inside because after Bao Xunwen got drunk that time, he had kept shouting her name at home, causing his wife, Liu Meizhen, to make a scene at thepany. Her situation at work had be somewhat awkward. Everywhere she went, she could hear whispers and rumors. But what she truly couldn''t forget was Li Zhiyan kissing her while she was drunk; even though itsted a short time, it was certainly crossing the line. She had always thought of him as a child, having watched over Li Zhiyan as he slowly grew up to his current stature. Chapter 327 : Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin_3 But he had begun to have thoughts about himself, reminded of the scene he had seen in Li Zhiyan''s bedroom that morning, Wu Qingxian was even more certain that Li Zhiyan had grown up. "This child..." "How should I educate him?" With so many things entwined in her heart, Wu Qingxian found it hard to fall asleep for a long time. ... When Li Zhiyan woke up the next day, he habitually turned on the system. At that time, the system also released a new task. "Because Yen Lei is dissatisfied with the living expenses provided by his grandparents, tomorrow he will go to Jiang Xian''s clothing store and ask Jiang Xian for twenty thousand yuan for living expenses to recharge his game." "After being refused, Yen Lei will snatch the twenty thousand yuan in cash from Jiang Xian''s bag." "Please call the police to deal with it." "Task reward, one hundred thousand yuan in cash." After this task appeared, Li Zhiyan, who was a mama''s boy, felt angry too. He really hadn''t expected that Yen Lei would actually rob Auntie Jiang. As he thought about it, his heart filled with anger. However, this was also an opportunity for himself, after all, he had discussed being together with Auntie Jiang during the National Day holiday, only she had been evading him, her heart still struggling with many factors of reality. This incident would surely have a significant impact on Auntie Jiang''s mood. It was the perfect opportunity to establish their rtionship. Then everything that followed would naturally fall into ce, and thinking about it made Li Zhiyan look forward to it somewhat. "Another mother delivered to my doorstep." This was the perfect time to deal with Yen Lei, who was already of age. Robbing twenty thousand was enough to him a heavy sentence. When he would get out was anyone''s guess. Once Auntie Jiang''s hopes werepletely dashed, she would only have him in her life from now on.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Because he had just gotten up, Li Zhiyan went to wash up full of vigour. Seeing this, Jiang Zexi and the others were filled with envy. Brother Yan was truly the man who left behind the legend of the dragon at school. His strength was fearsome indeed. While everyone in the dormitory was eating breakfast in the cafeteria. Zhang Zhiyuan asked, "Brother Yan, what about that disciplinary action against you?" "Don''t worry, no rush. Once I''ve dealt with the enemy, that matter will be resolved." Then, Yin Qiang and Zhang Honglei walked in. Zhang Honglei, who had gotten five thousand yuanst time, now walked with a swagger, his confidence clearly sky high. Holding a new Samsung phone in his hand and looking at the other students dressed inly, he proudly raised his head... However, upon seeing that Yin Qiang''s clothes were much more expensive than his own, he felt a bit inferior. But he felt that he had now joined the circle of the school''s rich second-generation kids, wearing thetest sneakers and using a Samsung phone, often going out to KTV with female ssmates. This life was exactly what he had dreamed of having before. His heart was growing more and more eager to drain Wu Qingxian''s savings to buy a BMW 3 Series or a Mercedes-Benz C. With a luxury car, his life would truly be colorful. After grabbing their food, a few of them sat down not far from Li Zhiyan. Yin Qiang provocatively said, "Li Zhiyan, it must feel awful to have that punishment hanging over your head." With so many people around, he wasn''t afraid of Li Zhiyan getting physical. If Li Zhiyan did get physical, It would be perfect for his mother to give him another disciplinary action, or even better if he could be directly expelled... Even though he hated Li Zhiyan for stealing the heart of his goddess. At this moment, Zhang Honglei didn''t dare to chime in. He always had the feeling that Li Zhiyan hadn''t exposed his true family situation. He suspected Li Zhiyan wanted to ckmail him, so he didn''t dare to challenge Li Zhiyan, still wanting to maintain his identity as a rich kid at the school. That was very important to him. "Don''t worry, your mom will definitely scream and shout to get my punishment revoked." Yin Qiang found thisughable. How could his mother possibly revoke his punishment? He awaited much more than just that disciplinary action in the future. "Sure, you just keep talking tough." Li Zhiyan couldn''t be bothered with Yin Qiang''s nonsense. He wasn''t the kind of man to just talk tough. After arriving in ss, Li Zhiyan chatted with Su Mengchen as usual. And Shen Rongfei also sent him a message. "Son, mom can feel that Chenchen is in a much better state now." "She even chatted with momst night." At home, eating breakfast, Shen Rongfei''s long ck silk-d legs were crossed, chatting with Li Zhiyan while eating. Since her trip to Sucity, she hadpletely regarded Li Zhiyan as her own son. And her address to him had changed from Xiao Yan to Son. Now she liked to refer to herself as Mom, since after all, Li Zhiyan was going to be with Su Mengchen eventually. Li Zhiyan was her son, no doubt about it. Looking at the pair of ck high heels with red bottoms by the door, she felt very happy¡ªeven though they were damaged once, Li Zhiyan had fixed them so well that one couldn''t tell they had ever been broken. They looked as good as new, and for this, she really didn''t know how to thank him. Li Zhiyan: "Mom, don''t worry, I will definitely take good care of Chenchen, never letting her get hurt again." "How''s your mood right now?" Li Zhiyan could tell that Shen Rongfei wasn''t truly happy. He had also captured evidence of Su Yu''s infidelityst time. Now, he was still pondering how to break the news to his mother-inw. Chapter 328 Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin_4 Now clearly wasn''t a proper time. "Much better, son, thanks to you for fixing Mom''s high heels." "Xiao Yan, you cane to Mom''spany or home to hang out when you''re free, Mom wants to talk with you." Li Zhiyan: "Sure, Mom, I''ll definitelye visit you when I''m free." While chatting with Shen Rongfei and Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan calcted that ording to the days, Aunt Fang''s fertile window should have passed. So, he had to try hard to conceive tonight. During his recent visits to the amusement park, he only yed on the other rides, which were fun but always seemed tock something. He had to seize the opportunity tonight. He then sent a message to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang, has your ''rtive'' left?" Fang Zhiya replied very quickly. "Darling, there''s still a little bit left," "but by tonight it should be gone." Li Zhiyan: "Then, Aunt Fang, let''s continue to work hard tonight, striving to get you pregnant as soon as possible." Thinking of Fang Zhiya''s pale abdomen gradually swelling because of him, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble excitement and anticipation. Hard work brings rewards, this was something he must strive for. After two sses, Li Zhiyan and the three teases from his dormitory continued their endless banter by the school''s artificialke. "Brother Yan, that ''frost leaves are redder than February flowers'' line is really too saucy, I can''t believe I didn''t see anything wrong with it when I recited it as a kid." "Exactly, Brother Yan, I''ve realized you''re the truly most covertly saucy one." At a distance, Su Mengyue was sneaking peeks at Li Zhiyan. After expressing her feelings, Su Mengyue became more and more bold. But she still didn''t have the courage to go talk to Li Zhiyan at such a time, especially since all his roommates were around. No matter how daring and passionate Su Mengyue was, she was ultimately a woman. At some point, someone approached from behind Su Mengyue. "Mengyue, junior." With her hair in twin ponytails, Su Mengyue turned her head and saw Zhang Honglei. Today, Zhang Honglei purposely held his Samsung phone in hand to show off, hoping Su Mengyue would better see his capabilities. Originally, Su Mengyue didn''t feel anything special for Zhang Honglei, but now she felt increasing disgust toward him. She had already said she didn''t like him, so why did he keeping after her? "Senior, I really don''t like you, please don''t waste your time on me." "We really aren''t a match." Su Mengyue''s nature was to be direct with her dislikes, never wasting the other person''s time or emotions. "Junior, don''t be in such a hurry to reject me." At that moment, the image of a blushing Su Mengyue looking like a springtime maiden kept echoing in Zhang Honglei''s mind, the scene almost dreamlike. "You''re not with Li Zhiyan, right? He rejected you, didn''t he?" Zhang Honglei assumed Li Zhiyan wasn''t with Su Mengyue; otherwise, he wouldn''t have seen him walking alone on the street that night.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Any normal guy would have made a move on such a pretty girl that very night if they were a couple. If it were him, he definitely wouldn''t havested half an hour before renting a room. Then he would fulfill his dream. "That has nothing to do with you." Su Mengyue was getting irritated. This guy, why was he so annoying? "Life is too short to waste on someone you don''t like." "You should consider those who truly cherish you." Zhang Honglei went into patronizing mode, believing this kind of advice made him look charming. To someone like Su Mengyue, who grew up without parents, raised by her grandparents. She would prefer a mature and charming man with financial means like him, so he was certain he could win her over with some effort. "What you need is a man like me with a good family background, who can give you help in your life." "If we''re together, I''ll cover all your living expenses in the future." "I heard you''re only making a couple hundred a month from part-time work, it''s really unnecessary." "With me, you''ll never have to worry for the rest of your life." Zhang Honglei was still caught in the role-ying of being a rich young master and couldn''t help but indulge in the feeling. "I''ve said I''ll give you two thousand a month, and I''ll definitely keep my promise." Su Mengyue shook her head. "I''m sorry, senior, but I truly don''t like you." "The person I like is only Li Zhiyan." "He hasn''t agreed to me yet, but that''s just for the time being. I believe he will be with me eventually." When it came to the prospect of being with Li Zhiyan, a sense of yearning gleamed in Su Mengyue''s eyes, as it would undoubtedly be a very happy thing. "And also, I''ve heard that your family isn''t actually that rich, and that Audi A4 seems to be borrowed from another senior, isn''t it? You should be more realistic, study hard, and be filial to your parents." Su Mengyue overheard talking about school rich second generations from the girls in the dorm, and heard about Zhang Honglei''s car borrowing. Zhang Honglei''s habit of borrowing cars was well-known at school, and some spected that he was pretending to be more affluent than he actually was. If that were not the case, there''s no way he wouldn''t own a single BBA (BMW, Benz, or Audi). "How could that be, my Mercedes C has been booked, it''s just that there are no current models avable." "In a little while, I''ll drive it to school!" Su Mengyue''s intention was simply a kind-hearted warning to Zhang Honglei, but to him, it sounded like she was questioning his financial prowess. Chapter 329 Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin_5 ``` So if I were driving a Mercedes-Benz C-ss, I definitely could have won over Su Mengyue. "This has nothing to do with me anymore, senior; I have to go." For Su Mengyue, even if Zhang Honglei drove a Ferrari, it would still have nothing to do with her; she was the type of person who was very obsessive in rtionships¡ªonce she was fixated on Li Zhiyan, she wouldn''t change. Only if one day Li Zhiyan beat her up or sold her to a club would she give up. Watching Su Mengyue''s retreating figure, Zhang Honglei clenched his fists. "Why can''t I be a rich second generation? Why is my mom so useless!" Zhang Honglei started to feel resentment towards Wu Qingxian in his heart. They were both from single-parent families, but Yin Qiang''s mother, Yin Xueyang, was not only a school leader, but also had her own business, worth tens of millions. That''s why Yin Qiang could drive a luxury car around the school to flirt with girls. And he could only borrow an Audi A4 for a drive during the National Day holiday trip. Undoubtedly, the reason Su Mengyue wasn''t with him was that she knew his car was borrowed. If he had a Mercedes-Benz C-ss now, it would be an entirely different concept. A fake, after all, is just fake¡ªit can''t sustain an image. With that thought, his resentment towards Wu Qingxian grew even stronger. "No, I have to figure something out, buy a Mercedes-Benz C-ss!" ... After school in the afternoon, a few rambunctious dorm mates were going to drag Li Zhiyan out for dinner. But Li Zhiyan was clearly not in the mood for it now. Eating food¡ªAunt Fang''s cooking is more delicious. The taste of the cafeteria''smunal dining is really just average. "Brother Yan, off to swagger again, huh." Amidst the envious voices of his dorm mates, Li Zhiyan headed towards the school gate. When he got back to the home he shared with Fang Zhiya, He could see the light smoke wafting from the kitchen downstairs, which was a clear sign that Fang Zhiya was cooking. The past seven days had been somewhat torturous for Li Zhiyan, after all, he was young and vigorous and had a title to uphold. Deep down, Li Zhiyan really wanted to rx. After reaching the upstairs, Li Zhiyan skillfully unlocked the door. The slippers were already neatly ced at the entrance. "Baby, go take a shower first. It''s very hot today, and we can eat soon." After changing shoes and arriving at the kitchen doorway, Li Zhiyan saw Fang Zhiya, who was cooking in her ck skirt, ck stockings, and high heels. It was obvious that Aunt Fang had done quite some preparation to wee him home. Getting ready for pregnancy is a big deal. After kissing Fang Zhiya in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan went to take a bath. His heart was a littleplicated; he remembered the first time he saw Fang Zhiya downstairs at thepany, demanding her pay. She had always been so traditional. Yet, who would have thought that one day the ss monitor''s mom would wear the ck stockings and short skirt, high heelsbo. The sacrifices Aunt Fang made for him were truly great. Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan felt somewhat moved. Aunt Fang had been truly good to him. After showering, Li Zhiyan came to the kitchen, where Fang Zhiya was waiting for the pot to boil. Li Zhiyan walked over and hugged Fang Zhiya''s waist. Then he kissed her cherry lips. "Aunt Fang..." "Baby..." The seven days were also repressive for Fang Zhiya; at the age of 42, the need for love was unquestionable, and Fang Zhiya also very much wanted Li Zhiyan toe home. It was just inconvenient for him to do so while traveling. After the two kissed, It was a while before Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya parted. Then he moved behind Fang Zhiya, who was dressed lightly, and hugged her. ... After a long time, Li Zhiyan sat at the dining table to eat, while Fang Zhiya rested her beautiful legs on the arm of the sofa, silent for a moment. "Aunt Fang, it''s really not easy to have a child." "I hope we seed this month." Fang Zhiya nodded gently. "Baby, Auntie will also work hard. You''ll have to suffer a bit during this time." "Aunt Fang, in a while, I n to buy us a house." "Always renting others'' houses isn''t too good."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Surprised by this statement, Fang Zhiya was startled. Buy a house? That would cost a lot of money. "That''s too wasteful." "Don''t worry, Aunt Fang. Property will appreciate in value. The current housing price is very low, and I want to buy a house that belongs to the two of us. After all, if you get pregnant, we can''t keep renting a house forever. After the pregnancy, we will need a sense of security," he said. "So I want to buy a house and put both our names on it." A sense of happiness uncontrobly rose in Fang Zhiya''s heart. If she could live in a house that belonged to her and Li Zhiyan, that would definitely be a very happy thing. Moreover, his willingness to add her name to the property deed was enough to prove her status in his heart. "Baby... that''s too much money wasted; it''s unnecessary." Li Zhiyan, holding his te of food, came to Fang Zhiya''s side. "Aunt Fang, you must believe in my ability. If I couldn''t afford to buy a house for you, how would we raise our baby in the future? Just lie down, and I''ll feed you." To help Fang Zhiya conceive sooner, Li Zhiyan was also very careful and made an effort. Fang Zhiya nodded gently, her eyes bing a bit moist. "By the way, when we buy a house in the future, I want the bedroom to have decorations like this," he said. "I really like that type of material on the ceiling." Li Zhiyan really enjoyed lying there, relishing the feeling of a god''s-eye view. "Okay..." Fang Zhiya replied shyly. ``` Chapter 330 Jiang Xian, who made a determined decision, let everything go in the cabin_6 After dinner, Fang Zhiya went to clean up the kitchen. Because it was hot and he had sweated in the kitchen earlier, Li Zhiyan went to take another bath. "Aunt Fang." "This bathroom is too slippery, I''ll arrange for someone to install a couple of anti-slip handrails tomorrow." "Okay, I''ll do whatever you say, darling." "Aunt Fang, I see you''re feeling hot,e and join me for a bath." ... A long whileter, the two of them came out of the bathroom. Li Zhiyan held Fang Zhiya unwilling to let go, he could feel her passionate and sincere love for him, and as a deeply romantic man, his love for Fang Zhiya was equally fervent. Continuously responding to Li Zhiyan''s kisses. After a while, Fang Zhiya said, "Darling, are you not wearing ck stockings anymore?" "Of course, I should." After putting Fang Zhiya down, Li Zhiyan picked up the ck stockings from the sofa and gently helped Fang Zhiya put them on. Now Li Zhiyan was not only experienced in taking off stockings, but he was even more skilled in putting them on. A pair of beautiful ck-stockinged legs appeared in his sight, and Li Zhiyan kissed Fang Zhiya once again. Fang Zhiya felt surprised in her heart, as Li Zhiyan seemed to have endless energy, and she must make an effort to prepare for pregnancy. Afterward, Li Zhiyan carried Fang Zhiya to the master bedroom. The next morning, the two still separated outside themunity, embracing each other before leaving. Fang Zhiya went to work with a flushed face. In Li Zhiyan''s heart, however, thoughts of Auntie Jiang''s task for the day preupied him; if Yen Lei dared carry out a robbery, he definitely wouldn''t let him get away with it. ... At that moment, Yen Lei was standing in front of the ATM at the school. Looking at the eight hundred yuan of living expenses that his grandparents sent him, he felt very displeased. Yen Zhengjin used to be in quite a good financial situation, so he always gave Yen Lei hefty allowances. Easily two or three thousand at a time... Which is why Yen Lei could recharge in the game without a second thought. But now that his own father had been detained, the burden of living expenses fell on the shoulders of his grandparents. Although they had some savings, they obviously couldn''t give him thousands of yuan for his living expenses, and this made Yen Lei, who was ustomed to spending money generously, feel a bit of pain in his heart. This can''t go on, he had to change his current situation! Suddenly, he thought of his mother, Jiang Xian. Although his mother hadn''t had much earning capacity before, now that she owned a clothing store, it was apletely different story. Yen Lei clearly remembered hisst visit to the clothing store. Her business was booming, and she could probably make twenty thousand yuan a month, or even more. So he could totally ask her for money. With this thought, Yen Lei got excited. He then tried calling Jiang Xian, only to find that he had been cklisted by her. Clearly, his mother was utterly disappointed in him. Yen Lei didn''t care that much, he directly booked a ticket to Wancheng nning to ask for money in person, because you can run from the monk, but not from the temple. ... In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan made another trip to see Han Xueying for a massage and took the opportunity to ask for leave. Han Xueying said with a cute lilt that it was okay, and Li Zhiyan felt somewhat emotional in his heart. Having a close rtionship with the counselor really made a difference; requesting a leave could be said to be extremely easy. Once he arrived at themercial street, he saw that there were still ten minutes left for the task. He went to his own milk tea shop and made two cups of iced sour plum drink; he drank one and carried the other to Jiang Xian''s clothing store. When Jiang Xian saw Li Zhiyan, she was obviously overjoyed. She really liked Li Zhiyan so much, and now Li Zhiyan truly held an irreceable role and position in her heart. It''s just that there were some things she still couldn''t bring herself to decide. "Auntie Jiang!" Li Zhiyan stepped forward and handed the sour plum drink to Jiang Xian. Right then, several girls entered the store, and Li Zhiyan conscientiously went into a small room to wait for the task to start. Three minutester, Li Zhiyan figured Yen Lei should have arrived as well. And indeed, Yen Lei arrived at the clothing store.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Continue your journey on empire At that moment, just as a girl had finished buying clothes, Jiang Xian stuffed a hundred yuan into her money bag. Usually, when she had saved up ten thousand yuan, she would make a trip to the bank to deposit the money. "Mom, give me twenty thousand yuan for living expenses." Jiang Xian didn''t expect her son toe, and moreover, to ask for twenty thousand yuan for living expenses right off the bat. Thinking of this, she felt a few more degrees of disappointment in her heart toward her son. "I don''t have it." "Mom, it''s your fault that my dad got detained, and now you don''t care about me. Do you want me to starve to death at school!" "Give me twenty thousand yuan!" Yen Lei was very firm; he wanted twenty thousand yuan. He noticed Jiang Xian''s bag, which looked quite full, surely containing a good sum of money. Thinking of this, excitement surged in his heart. "I said no!" Without wasting words, Yen Lei directly moved to snatch the bag. "Put the bag down!" Jiang Xian never imagined Yen Lei would dare rob her, and she moved forward, trying to snatch the bag back. "Get lost, you bitch!" Yen Lei, solely intent on getting the money, cursed loudly when he saw the red bills inside the bag, certain there was at least twenty thousand yuan! As he watched his mother attempt to grab the bag, Yen Lei delivered a p across Jiang Xian''s pretty face. Jiang Xian closed her eyes in despair, never having imagined her son would do such a thing. The next second, Li Zhiyan''s hand grabbed Yen Lei, and with one kick, sent him flying out of the store. Yen Lei couldn''t worry about anything else; he got up, took the wallet, and ran. Looking at Yen Lei''s retreating figure, Li Zhiyan held Jiang Xian,forting her. Meanwhile, Jiang Xian''s tears kept falling down; she could never have dreamed that her own son would do such a thing to her. Not only had he insulted her this way, but he also stole all her money. If she hadn''t experienced it herself, she would hardly dare to imagine it. This was her own son, after all. She made up her mind about something; in this world, there really wasn''t much left worth holding on to for her, except for Li Zhiyan. Letting go of everything, why should she overthink, instead of living in the present? Jiang Xian took the initiative to embrace Li Zhiyan and kissed him. "Auntie Jiang..." Li Zhiyan responded as well, never having expected Jiang Xian to kiss him so passionately and proactively. Chapter 331 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan. This time, Jiang Xian''s kiss was extremely passionate. She really felt desperate in her heart. Her own son, Yen Lei, had previously beenmitting all sorts of despicable acts in her store. And this time it was even worse, he actually robbed her store. Robbery, of all things, was something Yen Lei did. And he even called her a "fucking bitch." As Jiang Xian''s heart was breaking, she also didn''t want to think about all these things anymore. The two clung tightly to each other, kissing, tasting Auntie Jiang''s vor. After a while, Li Zhiyan said, "Auntie Jiang, let''s call the police first." "He definitely won''t be able to get away." If it had been before, Jiang Xian definitely wouldn''t have had the heart to call the police after all, that was her own son. There was a blood rtion between mother and child. That connection had always been there, but thinking of what Yen Lei had recently done, she was utterly hopeless. Her own son hade to rob her wallet and even called her a "fucking bitch." Such words were very malicious against a woman. Even if you were cursing a stranger, you couldn''t use such maliciousnguage. But from her own son''s mouth, those words seemed toe so naturally. Time after time, these hurts hadpletely disappointed Jiang Xian in her son. She wasn''t that foolish of a woman. If Yen Lei got away with robbery without any punishment this time. Then he would definitely be more unbridled, doing even more outrageous things in the future. So calling the police was the best solution. "Fine... you call the police." Jiang Xian''s resolve had also firmed up. After Li Zhiyan called the police.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It wasn''t long before the police arrived, took down their statements, and checked the store surveince. "Ma''am, are you saying that the person who robbed you is your own son?" The police officer looked at Jiang Xian, obviously finding it somewhat unbelievable. In this world, there are even sons who rob their own mothers. "That''s right, I failed to raise him properly." Exhaustion filled Jiang Xian''s voice. The point her son had reached now hadpletely disillusioned her. "We''ll go find him now; we should be able to bring him under control quickly." From the incident to the police dispatch, it had only been a matter of minutes, such a short time that Yen Lei definitely couldn''t have gone far. Catching a kid who had juste of age was still easy. After the police left, looking at a somewhat tired Jiang Xian. Li Zhiyan said, "Auntie Jiang, you shouldn''t me yourself." "Actually, this has nothing to do with your upbringing; some people are just born bad and can''t be raised right." "I''ve seen some kids who bullied others from a very young age, even pushing other kids into wells." "So some people really can''t be corrected through education." "You''re so kind-hearted, yet Yen Lei turned out this way; clearly, he inherited Yen Zhengjin''s genes." Holding Jiang Xian''s hand, Li Zhiyan gently embraced her in his arms. Jiang Xian closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Li Zhiyan''s body. She whispered, "Xiao Yan, auntie has made up her mind, to be with you." Li Zhiyan was slightly taken aback, then his heart filled with joy. As expected, Yen Lei was like handing his mother on a silver tter. He and Auntie Jiang hadn''t progressed any further for so long. This time Yen Leipletely let Auntie Jiang down. On the contrary, it made Auntie Jiang resolve to be with him. "Alright, Xian Xian..." The sudden change in address made Jiang Xian feel very ufortable. "Xiao Yan, you should still call me Auntie Jiang." "Otherwise, I won''t feelfortable." Li Zhiyan responded, "Alright, Auntie Jiang, from today on, we''re together, you''re my girlfriend now." Jiang Xian said gently, "Alright, from today on, auntie is your girlfriend." "But auntie needs to make it clear to you." "No one must know about us being together; auntie wants to be with you in secret." "After all, before the divorce, I was your shiniang..." Speaking of this role, Jiang Xian also blushed; even though now the two of them were simply a man and a woman and could do anything together, Explore more stories at empire before, she was his shiniang, almost like a mother figure. The change in their rtionship was somewhat embarrassing for her. And the 23-year age difference didn''t give her the courage to let others know about their rtionship. "Only the two of us can know about us being together," "And in the future, don''t kiss and be affectionate with auntie in front of the shop." Because Li Zhiyan used to pester her to kiss him in the store, some of the young girls shopping there had seen them. She was thinking about how to exin why a 41-year-old woman was kissing an 18-year-old boy. But fortunately, no one asked. As if in these times, such things were quitemon. But every time she thought about it, Jiang Xian still felt embarrassed. "Alright..." "I understand, Auntie Jiang; so in the little house, we can still be affectionate, right?" "You''re my girlfriend now, so you have to let me enjoy some of the privileges of being your boyfriend." Jiang Xian blushed at the mention of privileges. Apart from the veryst step, you''ve basically exercised all your rights, haven''t you? "You may..." Seeing no one outside, Li Zhiyan whispered, "Auntie Jiang, can you have a baby for me?" Jiang Xian was taken aback by Li Zhiyan''s sudden request. A baby with Li Zhiyan? Chapter 332 129 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan_2 A 41-year-old woman pregnant for an 18-year-old boy! Isn''t this a bit too crazy. "What are you thinking, how could Auntie bear a child for you." "Our age gap is so big." Jiang Xian felt that dating would still be okay, secretly staying by his side until the day he grew tired of her, then ending this rtionship. But having a child, that was just too crazy. "Auntie Jiang, your son is already done for." "So it''s perfect for the two of us to hurry up and have one." "Although you are 41, you''re so young and beautiful, there''s totally no issue with having a child." "I think our child would definitely be especially good-looking." Jiang Xian had no doubt about this statement; Li Zhiyan was now very handsome, and her own looks were also top-notch. Even whenpared with actresses like Gao Yuanyuan, she was not at all inferior. The child they would have would surely be very attractive. As she thought about it, Jiang Xian realized her thoughts were straying; it seemed like she was really considering having a child with Li Zhiyan now. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire "No way..." "Auntie Jiang, please agree to it, let''s have a child together." "I will work really hard." Looking at Li Zhiyan''s expectant gaze, Jiang Xian''s heart softened a bit. "Let Auntie think about it." Hearing Jiang Xian would consider it, Li Zhiyanpletely let go of his worries, knowing that if Auntie Jiang was considering, in the end, she wouldn''t be able to escape the fate of her belly slowly swelling. The affair of the second child was something he had to work hard on himself. "Okay, Auntie Jiang, then can I go back to my hometown to visit?" Jiang Xian didn''t speak. After a while, she said softly, "Give Auntie a few days to think about it properly, I promise you, I will definitely take you back to your hometown to visit." Jiang Xian was well aware that her rtionship with Li Zhiyan was no longer of the same nature as before. So some things were bound to happen. Thinking of this, Jiang Xian felt her hormones secreting. Li Zhiyan wasn''t in a hurry either. After all, there were still tasks involving Yen Zhengjin, and the time for those tasks was approaching quickly. "Well, then, Teacher''s wife, I''ll go buy some chewing gum to put in your cottage first." "Don''t... don''t talk anymore, Xiao Yan." Although she was no longer Li Zhiyan''s teacher''s wife, hearing him address her that way, Jiang Xian felt inexplicably excited, as well as a sense of revenge against Yen Zhengjin. Luckily, at this moment, a girl came in to buy clothes, temporarily dispelling Jiang Xian''s awkwardness. ... On the other side, Yen Lei, having taken a taxi to the train station, found a corner to count his money. As he counted the money continuously, his nerves were being constantly stimted.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Indeed, mom had made a big profit this time; there was a total of more than twenty-two thousand in cash in the wallet. With the bits of change added up, this much money was enough for him to squander. That bag wasn''t cheap when mom bought it either; it could also be sold. Exchanging it for a thousand or so shouldn''t be a problem. "From now on, I''m going to mom''s shop to take money once a month." "With this, I won''t have to worry about game expenses in the future." Thinking of the carefree life ahead, Yen Lei was filled with anticipation. It seemed his life was destined to be one of luxury; first, his dad was rich, and now even after dad went inside, mom could support his extravagant lifestyle. At this moment, all he wanted was to hurry back to school, then top up ten thousand yuan for games, continuing to boss around in the gaming world. But that damn young man always messed up his ns; he had to find a way to deal with him¡ªwhat kind of rtionship did he have with his mom, getting so close to her! After some time, he decided to instigate his mom to cut ties with him. After all, he was his mom''s real son, and everyone else should be outsiders! While he was dreaming about his future life as a gaming tycoon, A pair of handsnded on his shoulder. He turned around and saw several policemen looking at him sternly. The body cameras were on, and the police took the bag from his hands. With the evidenceplete, Yen Lei was handcuffed on the spot. "Bitch, calling the cops on me!" "Bitch!" Yen Lei kept shouting angrily, infuriating the police officers, who had previously found it hard to believe that there could be such a son in the world. Robbing one''s own mother and verbally abusing her for two thousand yuan. But now they were fully convinced. With the aggravated circumstances of home invasion robbery, he was looking at a sentence of at least ten years! "Watch your mouth!" "Talk to the judge when you''re in court!" ... Soon Jiang Xian and Li Zhiyan also received the news. The person had been caught. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xian asked, "What will happen to Yen Lei this time." Li Zhiyan didn''t know too much about legal matters. However, he knew that the sentencing for home invasion robbery was severe, and that twenty thousand yuan qualified as arge amount. So, it should result in a sentence of more than ten years. "Probably around ten years," he said. "Maybe even more." Jiang Xian nodded lightly, feeling somewhat distressed, but she knew this was the best oue for Yen Lei. If hemitted more serious mistakes in the future, it would all be toote. "Auntie Jiang, don''t think too much about it; this is all his own doing. Let''s start preparing for our new life," Li Zhiyan said softly as he hugged Jiang Xian. That evening, Li Zhiyan had dinner at Jiang Xian''s ce. During this period, although he had some ideas about making the final breakthrough, he held back, it wasn''t long now. Chapter 333 129 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan_3 ``` After walking out of Jiang Xian''s clothing store, Li Zhiyan felt secretly thrilled; Yen Lei had finally thoroughly extinguished Auntie Jiang''s maternal love for him. This maternal love would now fallpletely on himself.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Without him, Auntie Jiang would not have be his girlfriend so quickly. Walking down the street, Li Zhiyan checked his savings and saw he had sessfully reached 1.3 million. The reward for this task was rtively easy. Next, he had to n Yen Zhengjin''s task, that 200,000 reward had been on his mind for a long time. "New task released." "Please open your own inte cafe with one million." "Note: after leasing the space, system will handle equipment and renovation issues." "After the inte cafe opens, you can earn a stable profit of one hundred thousand a month." "Task reward: cash refund of one million." After the emergence of this task, Li Zhiyan was somewhat stunned. He had always wanted to make money... Unexpectedly, the system was actually giving him an inte bar for free. Wait, it''s an inte cafe, with one million, all he needed was to rent a ce, howrge should the venue be... As for such a giveaway, Li Zhiyan certainly would not let it pass. It looked like his fixed ie would increase from 60,000 a month to 160,000. The Super Rooster System was truly amazing. Li Zhiyan really wanted to thank the system; his goal of bing a wealthy man was getting closer and closer. "New task released." However, the surprise from the system wasn''t just about the inte cafe; just after one task had ended, another task was released. "Bao Xunwen''s wife, Liu Meizhen, will take bus 32 in half an hour." "The bus will be crowded, and during herctation period, she will experience a breast milk leak, which will be very embarrassing." "Please give her your shirt to alleviate her embarrassment." "Helping others is a traditional virtue." "Afterpleting the task, you will receive a cash reward of one hundred thousand." Li Zhiyan remembered thest time he went out drinking with his mom''s friend. He had almost forgotten about Bao Xunwen recently. Unexpectedly, today he received a task involving Bao Xunwen''s wife. For one hundred thousand, he would definitely go. Moreover, Li Zhiyan respected every mother, being well aware of how hard it was for his own mom to raise him with care, bit by bit. Indeed, there are many embarrassing moments duringctation, and even without any reward, he would have to do this task. With this thought, Li Zhiyan became very resolute. Checking the time, he headed for the bus stop for the 32 bus. ... Outside the police station, the newly released Yen Zhengjin looked very haggard. Behind him, there was a inclothes policeman following him. The police had warned him that someone would follow him in theing days to prevent him from doing anything drastic. So he didn''t have the courage to look for Jiang Xian anymore, he didn''t want to return to that ce. If he did something like that again, he might really end up in prison. At that moment, the only thing in Yen Zhengjin''s mind was aeback. He had already lost two million, and with his current ie, even if he worked to the bone, it would take seven or eight years to earn it back. Yen Zhengjin evidentlycked the patience for that; all he could think about was winning back the money he lost at the online gambling site. Moreover, if he was lucky, perhaps he could rise to the top. Directly achieving a worth of ten million. As soon as he got home, he immediately called his friend at the bank. Being a form teacher, he had a wide socialwork, like this friend who was the parent of one of his former students. However, once the call connected, her tone was noticeably lukewarm. "Mr. Yen, do you need anything?" "Here''s the thing, I''ve got a Volkswagen Passat and my house." "I''d like to mortgage them." "See how much I can loan, and regarding my sry book, I want to take out a loan of two hundred thousand." Upon hearing this, the person on the other side became as eager as if they had seen their own father. For someone with a formal position to request a loan was all too simple; just mortgage your sry book to the bank and getting loans of several hundred thousand was easy. This was a significant achievement for her, not to mention the house and car mortgage; this could easily lead to a loan of over a million. "Mr. Yen, would you like to proceed now? I can provide door-to-door service." "Sure, same old ce, I''ll wait for you at home." After hanging up, Yen Zhengjin eagerly awaited the loan. Although the recement house from the demolition wasn''t ready yet and still under development, he figured his current property, along with the car and a small unit in another district, could be mortgaged for one million. Adding the car, the total could reach 1.2 million. With a sum of 1.2 million, he could make aeback; he had already fantasized about dominating the gambling tables. ... Half an hourter, Li Zhiyan boarded the 32 bus on schedule. As soon as he boarded, he started looking for Liu Meizhen''s figure, wondering if this Auntie Liu was pretty and assuming her figure must be quite full because she was breastfeeding. Li Zhiyan thought to himself and quickly located the target. There were not many women on the bus, and only one in her forties, while a few other older women were in their fifties. Only this beautiful woman in her early forties stood out. Due to breastfeeding, Liu Meizhen''s bust size appeared to be a D+. ``` Chapter 334 129 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan_4 Li Zhiyan had just walked over when he caught a whiff of a milky fragrance. The scent made him somewhat hungry, and although he liked to snack, his snacks were always sugar-free. But Aunt Liu was the real deal. At that moment, Liu Meizhen also noticed Li Zhiyan, thinking to herself how handsome the young man was. If her eldest daughter could find such a man to be her son-inw... That would be perfect, exactly the kind of son-inw she dreamed of. At this time, there weren''t many seats left on the bus... Liu Meizhen, seated there, couldn''t help but sneak nces at Li Zhiyan, because he was really too attractive. Especially since he was standing so close to her, she felt like she could smell that distinct male pheromone scent. Having not "exercised" with Bao Xunwen for a while, she felt an inexplicable restlessness. As the bus took a turn, Liu Meizhen, dressed in a pink one-piece dress, jumped with fright. My God, was she seeing things, or was she hallucinating? How could such terror exist?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Is there really someone in this world blessed with such extraordinary gifts? Liu Meizhen, yearning for the moisture of love, suddenly felt her hormones surge. Vaguely, she felt a little breast milk leak out. But it was just a little bit; the doctor had mentioned before that this was due to developed nds, so it was quite normal. But why was this youngster staring at her? Was it because she had identally revealed too much cleavage? No, that couldn''t be it; because of the risk of leaking breast milk during breastfeeding, she had always been very careful to cover herself properly. Besides, how could an 18-year-old boy be interested in a 41-year-old woman like her? "Auntie, I think I''ve seen you before." After Li Zhiyan spoke up, Liu Meizhen was a bit stunned. He had seen her before, really? Or could it be that he had ulterior motives and was using this as an excuse to get to know her? Even at the age of 41, Liu Meizhen had her share of admirers in her daily life, like some of her husband''s friends. They all pursued her, and when she was the head nurse at the hospital, there were also some patients who wanted to pursue her and court her. Although Li Zhiyan was young, she wasn''t unfamiliar with just-turned-adults trying to chase after her. She started to be a bit wary. But Li Zhiyan''s next wordspletely disarmed her. "You must be Uncle Bao''s wife, right?" "I think I''ve seen you before." "My aunt works in the samepany as Uncle Bao." Li Zhiyan mentioned her husband''s name and thepany so urately, it had to be true. "Is that so, young man? What''s your name?" After recognizing that he knew her husband, a milky fragrance surrounding her, Liu Meizhen asked warmly. "Auntie, my name is Li Zhiyan. How should I address you?" "You can call me Aunt Liu." "Aunt Liu, has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like Liu Yifei?" Li Zhiyan said, praising Liu Meizhen. Now that he looked closer, Liu Meizhen really did bear some resemnce to Liu Yifei. Strictly speaking, she resembled Liu Yifei''s mother, Liu Xiaoli! However, because of breastfeeding, her bust was significantly fuller than that woman''s, and the milky fragrance was overflowing. "You sweet-talker, you." "I''m not just ttering you, Aunt Liu; I''m telling the truth." Liu Meizhen covered her mouth and giggled. Indeed, she did share some simrities with Liu Yifei, though Liu Yifei exuded more of a mature charm. "Xiao Yan, why don''t you take a seat? I''ll stand for a while." "No need, Aunt Liu; you''re wearing high heels, and it must be tiring to stand. My mom always said to be nice to girls." Although Liu Meizhen hadn''t spoken much to Li Zhiyan, her mood had greatly improved from their conversation. Chatting with this kid was truly a delight. "I didn''t realize you were such a mommy''s boy." "Yes, Aunt Liu, I do have a fondness for women older than me, they give me a motherly feeling." Liu Meizhen''s fondness for Li Zhiyan instantly peaked. The bus arrived at the next stop, and a mean-looking old grandma got on. After scanning around, she approached Liu Meizhen. "Young man, give me your seat." The old grandma was very domineering, reminding Li Zhiyan of the imperious old grannies of Yen Cheng with their distinctive insignias. Liu Meizhen''s character was far from weak; otherwise, she wouldn''t have made a scene at thepany with Bao Xunwen. If it had been any ordinary olddy who approached her, without even a word spoken, she would have offered her seat. But now, her temper red too. She stayed seated without budging. The olddy then began to admonish her, taking advantage of her age. "What''s wrong with you young people today? With your strong arms and legs, don''t you have any respect for the elderly?" "Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" If Li Zhiyan hadn''t been there, Liu Meizhen surely would have argued with the old grandma. Rising from a nurse to the head nurse, she was no pushover herself. But in front of the child, she didn''t want to cause a scene with the older woman. The olddy continued to ramble on, and the onught of words made Liu Meizhen''s nds lose control. A stain spread across her chest where it had be wet, and the outline could be clearly seen. The Auntie sitting next to her looked on with undisguised envy, seeing such boundless vitality. Chapter 335 129 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan_5 After the olddy had scolded someone for a few sentences, a young man sitting beside her couldn''t stand it anymore. He stood up to offer his seat and then went to the front of the bus. At the next stop, thedy sitting next to Liu Meizhen also got off. Liu Meizhen sat there with her head bowed and arms crossed, feeling very awkward. This time, the leaked milk was a bit excessive, soaking through the front of her shirt, which would surely be very embarrassing if someone saw it. Li Zhiyan whispered, "Aunt Liu, move further inside." Liu Meizhen, not daring to look up, silently moved one seat over. Li Zhiyan sat down, and now the scent of milk was even stronger, making him hungrier. "Aunt Liu." "Wear my shirt." As he spoke, Li Zhiyan slowly unbuttoned his button-up shirt. Then he handed it to Liu Meizhen. Liu Meizhen epted it, ced some tissues inside her shirt to absorb the milk, then put on Li Zhiyan''s coat, and finally, the awkwardnesspletely vanished. "Xiao Yan, thank you," she said. Although it was their first encounter, Liu Meizhen''s impression of Li Zhiyan was now very positive. She blushed instantly after taking a nce at him. "Xiao Yan," "You even have abs." She had only heard about abs but hadn''t seen them in real life; Li Zhiyan''s abs were now distinctly visible after he removed his shirt. This made it difficult for Liu Meizhen to look away. "Yes, Aunt Liu, I do pay attention to fitness," he replied. Several girls sitting nearby looked over at Li Zhiyan, their eyes filled with eagerness. Not only was this guy handsome, but he also had a six-pack! After arriving at their neighborhood bus stop, Liu Meizhen invited him, "Xiao Yan,e and sit at my home for a while." "I''ll cut you some fruit to eat." "And I''ll wash your shirt for you," she said. "I can dry it quickly; it''ll be ready soon." Now that there were a few stains on his shirt, Liu Meizhen wanted to clean it for Li Zhiyan. Moreover, she really had a good impression of this young man she had just met. If it hadn''t been for him, it would have been awkward to run into acquaintances in the neighborhood.N?v(el)B\\jnn "Okay," he replied. They got off the bus, and a gust of cold wind made Liu Meizhen clutch her chest. The weather waspletely different from the scorching heat wave. During the day, the weather could be extremely hot, but at night, it would feel cold without a light jacket. This made Liu Meizhen feel quite guilty. "I''m sorry, Xiao Yan, for letting you get cold," she said. "Warm up well when we get home." Liu Meizhen was very concerned about Li Zhiyan. However, Li Zhiyan didn''t feel too cold; his physical constitution was far above average, and he didn''t feel cold in such weather. After arriving at her ce, Liu Meizhen quickly poured Li Zhiyan a cup of tea. "Xiao Yan, let me go change my clothes first," she said. Liu Meizhen''s house was quiterge, a 140-square-meter t with four bedrooms and a living room, very simr to Li Zhiyan''s family''s home. And on the balcony, a grandmother holding a baby¡ªprobably Bao Xunwen''s mother¡ªwas present. It wasn''t long before Liu Meizhen emerged in a floral dress, holding Li Zhiyan''s shirt in her hand. "Xiao Yan, let me wash it for you," she offered. "No need, Aunt Liu, it''s okay as it''s quite clean," he said. "It''s just that it smells a bit, so..." Liu Meizhen felt guilty about the scent of milk on his shirt. "It''s fine," he reassured her. "Aunt Liu, actually, I find this smell quite pleasant; I like the aroma of motherhood. Please give me back the shirt; it''s time for me to head home," he said. Thinking about the time, he needed to continue trying to conceive with Fang Zhiya that evening. Since Fang Zhiya had a body type that made it difficult to get pregnant, they had to persevere. One day he would also fill Aunt Fang''s life with such fragrant abundance. "Alright," she said. "Xiao Yan, let''s add each other on QQ, and we can chat when we''re free. I''ll be going back to work at the hospital in a few days, and it''s quite boring there," she said. "Okay," he agreed, appearing very well-mannered. At that moment, Liu Meizhen''s mother-inw came over smiling and said, "Daughter-inw, who is this young man?" Liu Meizhen''s mother-inw''s gaze held a hint of harshness, but now she was all smiles, giving off a hypocritical air. "Mom, this is the son of Bao Xunwen''s colleague. He helped me with something on the way here," Liu Meizhen exined. Sun Mei didn''t say much and carried the baby away to another side. Since Liu Meizhen had not given birth to a son, her mother-inw was quite dissatisfied with her. However, her position as head nurse and her high sry had kept her son from divorcing Liu Meizhen to marry another woman. For many years, Sun Mei had been urging her daughter-inw to have a second child. After getting pregnant with the second child, she joyfully awaited the birth of a grandson but ended up having another granddaughter instead. This had deepened her dissatisfaction with Liu Meizhen. Just then, the door opened and Bao Xunwen, who had just returned from overtime work, was in a great mood. He had been officially appointed as the head of the department that day. With house and car ownership, authority in hispany, and a significant inheritance left by his father, his life seemed perfect. However, upon arriving home, he saw Li Zhiyan. This caused Bao Xunwen''s mind to go nk. If he had to name someone he disliked the mosttely, it would undoubtedly be Li Zhiyan. Chapter 336 129 Jiang Xian gave everything to Li Zhiyan_6 That department gathering was the best chance to take Wu Qingxian down. The woman who likes to wear cheongsams wasn''t just pretty with a great figure, but also had an incredibly impressive bust. Even though my wife has a surprising bust size right now, that''s because she''s nursing, and normally she''s just a regr D cup, no match for Wu Qingxian''s. Even though my wife is very pretty, Bao Xunwen felt that he should have the capital to keep a harem. The new addition to the department, Wu Qingxian, was perfectly suitable for bing a part of his harem. Once sessful, he could have the red g at home standing strong while the multicolored gs outside fluttered¡ªthis was exactly the life of his dreams. In the future, even if his wife temporarily lost interest in him, he could dissolve in ecstasy right there in thepany''s little room. He could have taken the opportunity to get Wu Qingxian drunk, everything had started so smoothly, and even Wu Qingxian''s son had sent him an assist. But no matter what, Bao Xunwen had never anticipated that Li Zhiyan would show up and end up drinking him under the table. Because he got drunk and went home shouting Wu Qingxian''s name, he got into a big fight with his wife. The person he hated the most was Li Zhiyan! But he never expected that today, when he got home, he would run into Li Zhiyan. Bao Xunwen was somewhat suspicious that his eyes were deceiving him. "Uncle Bao, hello." Watching Li Zhiyan just finish buttoning up his shirt, Bao Xunwen suddenly had the thought that he might have been cuckolded. But thinking it over, it seemed rather unlikely; his wife hadn''t known him before! Even if he was being cuckolded, it would not have happened this quickly. Plus, the guy was just an 18-year-old kid; his wife couldn''t have done anything with him, especially with his own mother still there. "Hello." Although he detested Li Zhiyan with every fiber of his being, Bao Xunwen still had to respond. It was obvious that Li Zhiyan had a good rtionship with his wife, and since he was still in a cold war with her, he couldn''t escte the conflict. "I''m leaving now, Uncle Bao." "Ah." After Li Zhiyan left, Liu Meizhen couldn''t be bothered to exin anything to Bao Xunwen; after all, with nothing to be guilty of, she had nothing to fear. Then she went over to her mother-inw, took her daughter from her, and carrying her back, she locked herself in the master bedroom to nurse. "Mom, what happened?" "I don''t know either. She suddenly brought this young man back today. When the young man arrived, he didn''t even have a shirt on." "I don''t know what kind of mischief they''re getting up to. I''ve always disliked this woman, not able to give birth to a boy. I think you should divorce her and find a new wife who can bear you a son." Bao Xunwen said softly, "Don''t talk nonsense; she''s the head nurse and can bring in tens of thousands for the family every month." "If she heard that, it would be terrible. Even if we''re going to divorce, I have to wait until the woman outside is pregnant." Over the years, Bao Xunwen had grown tired of his wife. As Liu Meizhen earned much more than him, she had a high status at home. Normally, Bao Xunwen had virtually no say at home. He had given it much thought and felt that marrying someone like Wu Qingxian, who earned a few thousand yuan, would give him the thrill of being head of the household. Once he had secured Wu Qingxian, he''d divorce this useless woman who couldn''t bear a son. Thinking about it, Bao Xunwen was filled with immense anticipation. "Good, son, put in the extra effort outside, try to get a son sooner." "This girl without the handle, I''m just sick of carrying her around all day, I even want to strangle her, always crying." In the master bedroom, unaware of everything happening outside. Liu Meizhen was feeding her daughter milk, her mind repeatedly drifting to the scene of the bus turning the corner. Did that really exist? ... In the following days, life seemed to quiet down. The rtionship between Li Zhiyan and Su Mengchen was stabilizing and progressing. Meanwhile, he and Fang Zhiya were trying hard to conceive every day. Also, meeting with Jiang Xian always at six and nine o''clock, on Sundays, Li Zhiyan would also go home to spend time with his mom. The inte cafe was also making headway, with the lease of a gym on themercial street about to expire. When that time came, he could begin negotiating for the lease. In the blink of an eye, a week went by with seemingly nothing happening. Li Zhiyan would asionally look at his bank savings of 1.4 million yuan and feel secretly thrilled. Finally, the day to carry out Yen Zhengjin''s task arrived. That evening, Yen Zhengjin, who''d had his leg broken by thugs,y under a bridge arch, filled with utmost regret. Previously, he had thought about turning his luck around, so he had mortgaged his house and car to the bank. But within two days, he had lost 1.2 million! His house and car were repossessed, and he lost his job. Desperate, he thought of private lending organizations, and since he knew people there, they considered Yen Zhengjin capable of repayment and decided to lend him half a million. But Yen Zhengjin stubbornly insisted on borrowing a million, promising to pay three percent interest after three days. The kind of interest rate was simply irresistible for the loanpany, and they loaned him a million in one go. Filled with confidence after getting the money, Yen Zhengjin headed to the inte cafe to engage in battle. He intended to redeem his past losses, but within three days, the entire million was utterly lost. The loanpany''s people realized they''d been yed by Yen Zhengjin, and after dragging him out of the inte cafe, they broke one of his legs on the spot. They also demanded the money back within three days, or else he would face even more severe punishment. Lying in an underpass, Yen Zhengjin shed tears of regret, realizing how foolish he''d been. It was at the moment his leg was broken that Yen Zhengjin fully grasped the situation. Gambling was a scam! It could destroy families and lives, and there was absolutely no chance to turn things around, no matter if you bet ten billion, the online gambling bosses would swallow it all! Yen Zhengjin was filled with despair. Gambling, the biggest scam! ... In the evening, Jiang Xian was introducing clothes to a young girl. A few youths wielding daggers walked in. The malice in the young men''s eyes was palpable. They were clearly different from ordinary riffraff. "You''re Jiang Xian, right? Your husband borrowed a million from ourpany, and now he can''t pay it back. You''d better pay for him," they said. They knew the million had nothing to do with Jiang Xian. But they figured whatever they could recover was still a gain, which counted towards their performance. They thought intimidating a woman alone would surely make her give up all her money. "Ah..." The girl looking at clothes ran scared out of the store. The riffraff lifted their hand to the shop''s shutter door, intending to pull it down. Jiang Xian instinctively reached for her bag, which had a fruit knife inside. If these people tried to assault her, she would fight them with her life! In that moment, Jiang Xian''s fear reached its climax. Just then, one of the thugs felt a sudden, excruciating pain. "To hell with you!" Seeing that the thug was about to pull down the shutter door, Li Zhiyan stepped up and kicked him hard. The other two thugs charged forward upon seeing this. But, Li Zhiyan was capable of taking on five, even exploiting bugs to fight ten or dozens at a time. How could the three thugs possibly be a match for him? After quickly taking down the three thugs, Li Zhiyan dialed Xu Gensheng''s number. While talking with Xu Gensheng on the phone, Li Zhiyan continued to kick the three thugs'' heads. "President Xu, your people came to my master''s wife''s shop to collect a debt, using intimidation," he said. "That''s not very ethical; the debt was incurred after my master''s wife divorced him," he continued. "These guys are excessive," Li Zhiyan added. Xu Gensheng repeatedly apologized with augh and promised to deal with the men. After receiving a call, the thugs apologized profusely and left the clothing store in disarray. After the three thugs had gone, Li Zhiyan swiftly pulled down the shutter door. Jiang Xian was filled with amazement, Xiao Yan was truly capable! He could handle even a situation like this. A now calmed Jiang Xian threw herself into Li Zhiyan''s arms and began to sob. As she cried, she initiated a kiss with Li Zhiyan. Feeling Jiang Xian''s passionate kiss, Li Zhiyan responded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After a long time, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Jiang Xian''s waist and asked, "Auntie Jiang, may I?" This time, Jiang Xian didn''t hesitate. "Xiao Yan... love me..." Jiang Xian took Li Zhiyan''s hand and ced it on her beautiful leg, saying assertively. "Xiao Yan, Auntie has made up her mind, everything is yours..." "Give all your love to Auntie, she wants you..." Unable to hold back any longer, Li Zhiyan swept Jiang Xian into his arms and headed towards the small room. Chapter 337 Clothing store 130, crazy at 18 and 41 He carried Jiang Xian into the cabin. Li Zhiyan''s heart was somewhat excited; he and Auntie Jiang were finally about to bear fruit. "Master''s wife..." "Stop calling me Master''s wife. I''ve been divorced for a long time and am no longer your Master''s wife." "Master''s wife, it''s just a term of address; it doesn''t mean anything else..." After carrying Jiang Xian into the cabin, Li Zhiyan discovered that Jiang Xian had already bought the chewing gum. Obviously, she had prepared in advance. This made him even happier, as he realized that Auntie Jiang had actually been ready to break through all barriers with him; she just hadn''t made up her mind yet. It was only because of the debt collectors from the informal lending organization that came to collect debts tonight that Jiang Xianpletely let down her guard and decided to be with him. "Xiao Yan... use it well." "Don''t get pregnant." Li Zhiyan hummed in affirmation, then ced Jiang Xian on the bed. ... It was hard to know how much time had passed, but Jiang Xian was lying in Li Zhiyan''s embrace, listening to his heartbeat, her cheeks still flushed with redness. At this moment, Jiang Xian felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment. "Xiao Yan, Auntie feels like she''s dreaming." Li Zhiyan had been calling her Master''s wife just now, but now he had reverted to calling her Auntie Jiang again. It was just a joke, just like how he called Aunt Fang ''mom.'' "I also feel like I''m dreaming, Auntie Jiang. We never really interacted much before." Although Jiang Xian used to go to school, her interactions with Li Zhiyan were minimal, limited to her having helped him once; that was all. To Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian was a distant mature woman. But now, Auntie Jiang was lying in his embrace, thoroughly bing his person. "If it weren''t for our meeting at the inte cafe, we wouldn''t have all these matters to deal withter on." "You..." Jiang Xian touched Li Zhiyan''s face and said softly, "You even dared to add my QQ; you''re really bold." Jiang Xian realized that Li Zhiyan indeed had a lot of nerve; he dared to add her on QQ back then, and she, without overthinking, added him back. From that point on, the two of them started to chat. If they hadn''t started chatting on QQ, they wouldn''t have ended up with all this now. "Who would be able to resist? You were so beautiful. I just wanted to be friends with you despite our age difference." "Now it seems my dream hase true." "Auntie Jiang, actually, I''ve had some teenage fantasies about you." "I just never imagined that these fantasies would be reality." He kissed Jiang Xian''s face, and Li Zhiyan held her arm a bit more tightly. Most people, when they are young, have some fantasies about more mature women, given the allure of their dress and demeanor oozing a sensual charm. As for Li Zhiyan, his thoughts hade true. "You kid..." Jiang Xian hugged Li Zhiyan, feeling a mix of happiness and shyness in her heart. Only after being with Li Zhiyan did she realize what a real man was like. "Auntie Jiang, let''s prepare soon and have a child quickly." "I want to get you pregnant soon." As long as he tried hard, not only could he get Auntie Jiang pregnant, but he could also keep her forever young; thinking of this, Li Zhiyan felt it would be a blessing. "You''re so eager to get Auntie pregnant, huh." Li Zhiyan said softly, "Yes, of course." "Auntie Jiang, I think we should have a child; otherwise, we might have some regrets in this life." Li Zhiyan''s voice was very earnest; he felt that he and Jiang Xian should have no regrets. Jiang Xian''s pretty face began to heat up again. They were still using chewing gum right now; if they were really to get pregnant... "Xiao Yan, Auntie''s period is almost due these next couple of days. Give me some time to think about it, okay?" "But I promise, I''ll definitely bear a child for you." Listening to Jiang Xian''s words, Li Zhiyan was moved. He kissed her red lips gently. Then the two of them kissed passionately, only parting after a long time. "Auntie Jiang, you agreed so quickly." "Yes, Xiao Yan, Auntie has nothing left in her life but you." "From now on, everything of Auntie''s is yours." Jiang Xian hugged Li Zhiyan tightly. Then, she felt a sudden fright in her heart; Xiao Yan''s stamina was just too good. ... At Bao Xunwen''s home, Liu Meizhen was feeling somewhat restless. Feeding her daughter milk, her hormones seemed to be flowing incessantly. In the light, Liu Meizhen looked even more like the mother of that celebrity Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli. But her bust size far surpassed that of Liu Xiaoli. Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her fair and beautiful face. The events that happened on the bus kept echoing in her mind. Because she was emotional on the bus, she started to leak milk; being in the breastfeeding period, she was bound to attract some unusual gazes on the road. Or perhaps deal with some harassment, but when Li Zhiyan showed up, he took off his shirt to lend to her. His dashing and gentlemanly appearance left a deep impression in Liu Meizhen''s mind, as well as the terrifying disy of strength when he faced confrontation. If he had resisted her, she definitely couldn''t have beaten him. "Xiao Yan..." She whispered the name Xiao Yan softly. Liu Meizhen realized that she just couldn''t seem to finish feeding. Her daughter was already full.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Left with no choice, Liu Meizhen took a bowl by her side and began to squeeze to empty herself, as having an oversupply was a worry during the breastfeeding period. Chapter 338 Clothing store 130, crazy at 18 and 41_2 ... The next day, when Li Zhiyan woke up, Jiang Xian was already sitting in front of the vanity mirror, applying makeup. After what happenedst night, Jiang Xian''s heart and body now belonged wholly to Li Zhiyan. Even though she was very beautiful and her skin was in great condition, in front of the man she loved, Jiang Xian still wanted to look even more attractive. And out of the corner of her eye, she asionally nced at the seven packages in the trash can. She had hardly rested at all during the first half of the previous night. "Auntie Jiang,"N?v(el)B\\jnn "Have you noticed your skin getting better?" Li Zhiyan asked softly, and Jiang Xian seemed to notice something too, that her skin did indeed feel very tender and was in a much better state. "It does seem a bit so." "Xiao Yan, it''s really amazing, what''s going on?" Li Zhiyanughed and said, "Maybe it''s the nourishment of love. If we get closer more often, you''ll stay even younger." In his heart, Li Zhiyan felt the system''s power growing stronger, or else the aunties wouldn''t have many youthful years left. "Xiao Yan, you rest a little longer, Auntie will go and make you some food." "Mm..." Comfortably lying on the little pillow Jiang Xian slept on, Li Zhiyan opened the system. The system''s task was alreadypleted. And now Li Zhiyan''s savings had reached 1.6 million yuan. "I''m not far off from the three million yuan goal." "Afterpleting the inte cafe''s task, ten thousand yuan of fixed ie every month will make it even faster." "The system is getting stronger and stronger now." "The new tasks should be released soon." Indeed, within a few minutes, the system released a new task. "New task released." "Task 1, tomorrow Yin Xueyang will identally fall into the river outside the school after being bumped by a girl." "Please go and rescue Yin Xueyang." "Task reward: One hundred thousand yuan in cash." "Swimming skill currently being learned." Li Zhiyan hadn''t expected that Yin Xueyang would have such bad luck, remembering the time that woman got him penalized. Li Zhiyan looked forward to tomorrow''s events. He would have to deal with that woman properly tomorrow. "Task 2." "The day after tomorrow evening is Mom''s best friend Wu Qingxian''s birthday." "That day, Zhang Honglei, driving a borrowed Audi A4, will crash into a fire hydrant while turning." "So he will threaten to jump off a building to extort seven thousand yuan from Wu Qingxian." Wu Qingxian, heartbroken after making a bowl of longevity noodles, will be devastated." "Please go and celebrate her birthday with her, and give her a present." "Task reward: One hundred thousand yuan in cash." The release of two consecutive tasks left Li Zhiyan''s feelings somewhatplex. The day task was kind of cool, but the evening task seemed a bit sad. Wu Auntie raising a child all by herself was really not easy; Li Zhiyan knew this better than anyone. But Zhang Honglei was immersed in vain delusions, unable to extricate himself. Every day, he was thinking of how to get money or swindle money from Wu Auntie. Thinking about it, Li Zhiyan felt it wasn''t worth it for Wu Auntie''s sake. Nevertheless, he still liked this kind of opportunity to step up. Wu Auntie was his favorite elder, so he wanted to take all her maternal love for himself - in the future, only he would feel Wu Auntie''s love. Before long, Jiang Xian finished making breakfast, and after washing up, Li Zhiyan sat down together with her to eat. "Auntie Jiang, from now on, if you''re not busy at noon, I cane visit you." Listening to Li Zhiyan''s words, Jiang Xian felt a bit shy but also quite happy. There were hardly any customers around noon. The two or three hours were very quiet, so what would Li Zhiyane to do? They were definitely going to try for a baby... "Xiao Yan, it seems like Auntie has her period." Suddenly, Jiang Xian spoke with a somewhat troubled expression, looking like she had been overtired, so her period came a bit earlier than expected. "It looks like getting pregnant is out of the question now." Li Zhiyan seemed a little regretful. "Xiao Yan, we have always been careful, how could it be possible to get pregnant? If you want to have a baby, wait for seven dayster." "From now on, let''s not take any measures. If I get pregnant, let''s have the baby." The more Jiang Xian thought about it, the clearer it became that she had always wanted a second child but hadn''t been able to fulfill this wish. And now, Li Zhiyan couldpletely fulfill her desire. "Alright, in the future, I''lle by often to ''pay my dues''." Jiang Xian felt increasingly bashful in her heart. After Li Zhiyan left the clothing store, she pulled the roller shutter down again, and a wave of sleepiness came over her. Images of the previous night echoed through her mind. Everything that happened in the past was over, but the life awaiting her seemed not too bad. Looking at everything in their cozy little house, Jiang Xian knew. In the future, every part of this ce would bear the marks of hers and Li Zhiyan''s hormones. Her life was going to be very, very fulfilling and satisfying. "Xiao Yan, Auntie loves you..." "Auntie misses you..." "From now on, Auntie will embrace everything about you." With thoughts of Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian drifted into a deep sleep. ... The next day, Li Zhiyan went to the gym on Commercial Street. He found the gym had begun moving stuff out. This made Li Zhiyan realize that his inte cafe was about to open, and that darned Li Shiyu would be able to y to his heart''s content there. Of course, Li Zhiyan was very much looking forward to the inte cafe, which was simply handed to him. And throughout the morning, Li Zhiyan was still chatting with Su Mengchen. At noon, he made a trip to Han Xueying''s office, and after giving Aunt Han a massage of her silk-stocking-covered beautiful legs and ankles, he sessfully got the afternoon off. Chapter 339 Clothing store 130, crazy at 18 and 41_3 "Xiao Yan..." "Is there still no clue about the punishment?" After agreeing to Li Zhiyan''s request for leave, Han Xueying asked with concern. "It''s fine, Aunt Han, please don''t worry about this matter." "I''ve already found a solution." "Good..." Looking at Li Zhiyan, who had put down his leg, Han Xueying''s heart was growing fonder of him, especially sincest Sunday. He would often visit her house to keep herpany, always patiently massaging her legs, truly an exceptionally filial child. "Then I''ll be leaving now, Aunt Han." "Okay." Watching Li Zhiyan''s retreating figure, Han Xueying''s mind was filled with thoughts. At that moment, a phone call came in. It was from her brother-inw. "Sister-inw, I''ming to work in Wancheng." "Would it be okay to stay at your ce?" Han Xueying immediately refused her brother-inw''s request. He was a child her mother-inw had hadte in life and was only 27 years old and unmarried. She was now living alone as a widow. Having him stay with her was obviously very inappropriate, no matter how one looked at it. So, there was no way she could let her brother-inw live with her. "No, it''s not convenient for the two of us to live together right now, brother." Clearly, the person on the other end of the phone had not given up and was still persuading Han Xueying, which made her quite ufortable. After refusing several times, Han Xueying hung up the phone. ... After lunch, while still ahead of schedule, Li Zhiyan went to Wang Shangyan''s supermarket, where she was busy at the moment. Seeing Li Zhiyan arrive, she was obviously very pleased. "Auntie Wang, why haven''t you beening to the supermarket recently?" Looking at Wang Shangyan''s graceful figure, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontroble sense of longing. Auntie Wang might be a bit brash to others, but she had always been very gentle with him and genuinely cared for him as a younger rtive. "My mother fell ill and was out of town, so I went to take care of her for the past few days." "I just got back today." Wang Shangyan''s tired appearance made Li Zhiyan feel a twinge of heartache. Unfortunately, he was unable to use the Youth Preservation Technique to make Auntie Wang appear younger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Auntie Wang, you''ve worked hard." While holding Wang Shangyan''s hand, Li Zhiyan said with an affectionate tone that Wang Shangyan clearly felt. "Xiao Yan, it''s hot outside, go cool off in the little house." Wang Shangyan was still moved when she thought about how Li Zhiyan had helped solve the supermarket issuesst time. Once inside the little house, Wang Shangyan''s heart inexplicably felt hot and restless as her past kisses with Li Zhiyan shed in her mind. Back then, her ex-husband Lew Huan was outside while she let Li Zhiyan touch her leg and kiss her inside, and their embrace was close and snug. Thinking about it made Wang Shangyan feel shy. "Auntie Wang, I n to open another inte caf¨¦ near the school." As they sat down, Li Zhiyan discussed ns for the inte caf¨¦ with Wang Shangyan, a concept that was very new ten years ago. It had only been proposed in 2009. "Isn''t it called an inte bar?" Wang Shangyan found it strange. "An inte caf¨¦, to put it simply, is a high-end version of an inte bar, a concept that only startedst year." "The intention is to offer higher-end machines and more thoughtful service." Li Zhiyan roughly exined. "So, I''m thinking of having you apany me when negotiating the rentter." "Okay, I''ll go with you." Wang Shangyan was experienced in such matters. Moreover, a spark of admiration shone in her beautiful eyes. This child was truly a talented young man; at only 18, he not only had his own inte bar and milk tea shop but was also venturing into a new field. "Auntie Wang, I hope the supermarket''s business hasn''t been affected." As Li Zhiyan brought up the matter... Warmth filled Wang Shangyan''s eyes. "Hmm, the students all know it was those thugs'' doing, and not only did theymit extortion but also poisoning, so each one will have to spend a few years in prison." "Thank goodness for you, or Auntie would have had big trouble." Wang Shangyan said tenderly, holding Li Zhiyan''s hand. Auntie Wang, usually so fierce, always spoke to him in such a gentle voice, giving Li Zhiyan an indefinable sense of achievement. "They got what they deserved." "Auntie Wang, I missed you." "Every few days without seeing you, I start to miss you." After chatting for a while, Li Zhiyan buried his head in Wang Shangyan''s chest, inhaling her fragrance. He closed his eyes. "You, such a mama''s boy..." "Always like a little child, Auntie misses you too." As she spoke, Wang Shangyan gently kissed Li Zhiyan''s face. "Auntie Wang... I want to kiss you, would that be okay?" Li Zhiyan''s sudden words took Wang Shangyan aback. Why would he say something like that all of a sudden? "What are you talking about, Xiao Yan, it''s not right for your aunt to kiss you." "But, Auntie Wang, haven''t we done it before?" Li Zhiyan''s words made Wang Shangyan''s pretty face heat up slightly; the kid was really bringing up the most awkward subject. However, it was true that she had been a bit carried away at the time. Chapter 340 Clothing store 130, crazy at 18 and 41_4 After Li Zhiyan kissed her, Shen Rongfei had agreed and also responded to his kiss. "Xiao Yan, that time Auntie kissed you to thank you," Shen Rongfei said. "Besides, I was a bit impulsive at that moment," she added. Li Zhiyan, holding Wang Shangyan''s waist, said, "But Auntie Wang, why can''t we kiss?" "Xiao Yan, kissing is something that couples or spouses do," she replied. "As your elder, I shouldn''t be kissing you. Kissing involves male-female rtionships," she exined. "Auntie Wang, actually, I think kissing isn''t just something reserved for spouses. It can also be an expression of fondness," Li Zhiyan countered. "Like, we like you, so we want to taste some of your saliva," he reasoned. "It''s a way of showing our fondness for you." "Nothing more than that," he concluded. Wang Shangyan said with a tremble in her voice, "Is that... Is that so..." "Yes, I''ve read about it online." "If we kiss, you just need to understand it as a way of expressing feelings. "That''s all," he reassured. Before Wang Shangyan could continue to answer, Li Zhiyan kissed her red lips. "Auntie Wang, I like you..." "That''s why I kissed you. This is just a way of expressing affection for an elder, unrted to gender," he rified. "Mmm... Xiao Yan, don''t..." she murmured. Though she wanted to refute Li Zhiyan, it was toote. Having had the experience of kissing him before, Wang Shangyan subconsciously started to respond to his advance. After a dozen minutes, the pair finally parted, and Li Zhiyan was somewhat reluctant to let go. "Xiao Yan, you are too presumptuous," she scolded him. Despite her words, Wang Shangyan found she couldn''t bring herself to be angry with Li Zhiyan. Her heart genuinely held great fondness for him¡ªhe had been a great help to her. "Auntie Wang, please agree to kiss me in the future, okay? I am just fond of you as an elder; I don''t see you as a woman," Li Zhiyan said earnestly. However, he knew that ying dumb required the cooperation of the other person. Just like Aunt Fang had cooperated with him in the past... If Auntie Wang did not cooperate, then he would have no chance to continue. "Hmm..." she hummed. "Alright, Xiao Yan. But remember, Auntie is kissing you only because I like you as a younger rtive. You mustn''t think of me as a woman or have other thoughts about Auntie. You understand?" she instructed. "Got it," he confirmed. Wang Shangyan was keenly aware of the age difference between herself and Li Zhiyan. She knew that a rtionship between them was impossible. "Alright, Auntie Wang, I have something else to do, so I''ll be leaving now," he bid her farewell. Before leaving, Li Zhiyan kissed Wang Shangyan''s red lips once more. "Xiao Yan..." she whispered. Though she had agreed to Li Zhiyan''s request, she didn''t regret it and began to respond to him passionately. Minutester, after Li Zhiyan left the cabin, Wang Shangyan''s face blushed intensely. My goodness, she had actually agreed to such a request from Li Zhiyan. However, it was just an elder and a younger rtive liking each other, and kissing was just a way to express that fondness, nothing more... Suddenly, Wang Shangyan thought of something¡ªLi Zhiyan was pursuing Gu Wanzhou. He seemed to have a preference for women 20 years his senior. She couldn''t be one he fancied, could she? With that on her mind, Wang Shangyan looked at her fingers and then closed her eyes. ... The weather in October was hot during the day and a bit cold at night. Li Zhiyan stepped out wearing only a shirt. He went to the riverbank where Yin Xueyang was about to fall into the water. By this time, he had finished learning how to swim. From being andlubber, Li Zhiyan now possessed an athlete''s level of swimming proficiency. Coupled with the boost from his title, providing an additional power source in the water, his swimming prowess was definitely exceptional! "I could probably win a gold medal in the Olympics," he pondered. "But using a booster in the Olympics would likely be against the rules," he theorized. "Though natural abilities probably don''t count as cheating," he concluded. Li Zhiyan entertained these random thoughts in his head. Once he arrived at the riverside, he stood under a willow tree and started chatting with Su Mengchen. "Chenchen, let''s go out and have fun on Sunday," he suggested. After the incidents in Sucity, Su Mengchen had evidently be much more outgoing, talking more during their conversations. And whenever he went to have dinner with her after school, she had be much more open. Su Mengchen replied, "Okay." "Then, I''lle to your ce to pick you up on Sunday," he confirmed. Li Zhiyan also wanted to check on how Mother-inw Shen Rongfei was doing. In his heart, Shen Rongfei held an irreceable role unlike any other woman¡ªhe truly considered her no different from a second mother. He just regretted the hardships she endured in his previous life. So, he was determined to take good care of her. Afterward, Li Zhiyan also sent a message to Fang Zhiya. "Aunt Fang," he greeted. "Is there any reaction in your stomach yet?" "I''ve left my seeds in your care," he joked. Fang Zhiya, who was at the office, suddenly received Li Zhiyan''s message. She quickly minimized the chat window... After ensuring that her colleagues hadn''t noticed her, she replied, "No reaction. Even if I''m pregnant, it wouldn''t show this soon."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Li Zhiyan quipped, "Then let''s keep trying tonight." "Okay," she consented. Fang Zhiya felt somewhat guilty thinking about how hard Li Zhiyan was working for several hours every day. Given her difficulty conceiving, she hoped they could seed soon. ... Multitasking as the Time Management Master, Li Zhiyan chatted with many people. He pondered what birthday gift to give Wu Auntie. Chapter 341 Clothing store 130, crazy at 18 and 41_5 "Right, I''ll gift her a cell phone," Li Zhiyan had his answer the moment he recalled how Wu Auntie had looked at him with envy when he bought his mother a pink phone. At that time, she must have really, really hoped... that Zhang Honglei would give her such a birthday gift too, maybe not as expensive, but as long as it carried Zhang Honglei''s sentiment, even if it was just a casually folded star. Wu Auntie would surely be very happy. After all, what mothers care about is whether their son loves them in his heart, not how expensive the gifts are. Yet Zhang Honglei''s actions clearly showed Wu Auntie was extremely disappointed in him. Even with her birthday tomorrow, he was only thinking about extorting a sum of money for his losses and personal expenses. He had absolutely no consideration for Wu Auntie''s feelings. "After Iplete the taskter on," "I''ll go buy a phone." "Wu Auntie is like my own mother. I must take good care of her and show her the utmost filial piety," Li Zhiyan thought, his mind wandering off a bit. By the riverside, a voluptuous woman dressed in a low-cut top and miniskirt approached, her impressive bust and stunningly pert derri¨¨re, along with her long, white legs and tall figure, were so captivating it was hard to look away. "I have to say, Yin Xueyang might be a pretty bad person, but she''s got the looks and the figure," "Especially that butt..." Li Zhiyan praised, though this person was his enemy. So, he nned to give her a good hard timeter on. "But this woman''s demeanor is truly provocative," Just like Aunt Shen, her fox-like face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of soul-stirring, charming big eyes. Yet Aunt Shen''s aura was beautiful yet dignified, while Yin Xueyang''s was purely seductive, nothing more. "Perhaps this is the difference in their cultivation," Li Zhiyan thought to himself. From a distance, Yin Xueyang noticed Li Zhiyan too. It was awkward for her to encounter Li Zhiyan outside of school. Though she wielded more power in society than an 18-year-old boy could match, if he went mad and decided to beat her up, all her influence would be of no use. "Chief Yin, hello," Li Zhiyan greeted proactively as Yin Xueyang came up to him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Yin Xueyang had initially nned to pass Li Zhiyan without saying anything, as if by silent agreement, but she didn''t expect him to address her. Didn''t he know that the punishment he was shouldering was deliberately given by her? Or was he really that stupid,pletely unaware that she would make it impossible for him to graduate? But he didn''t seem like such a person. "Hmm," Yin Xueyang nodded faintly; Li Zhiyan followed suit and picked up on the light scent of her perfume. "Chief Yin, why did you have to give me such a punishment? Don''t you know that it will make umting my credits very difficult, and I might have trouble graduating?" Li Zhiyan asked, walking alongside her. Yin Xueyang had no idea that their roles as prey and hunter had quietly switched, and at this moment, Li Zhiyan found the conversation rather interesting. Yin Xueyang was worried that Li Zhiyan might be secretly recording their conversation. As a mature woman who had been through a lot, she well knew that traps could be lurking everywhere in society. "You assaulted Zhang Honglei, and this is the punishment you deserve," Yin Xueyang spoke wlessly, not giving Li Zhiyan any handle to grasp. Li Zhiyan found it somewhat amusing; this woman was indeed malicious. Silently, she had pped a punishment on his back, insisting he had assaulted Zhang Honglei. However, the true story was Zhang Honglei had tried to hit him, and he simply kicked him back. It was hardly even a fight. But for her son Yin Qiang... Yin Xueyang did not hesitate to attack and retaliate against him. "You know that I didn''t do it," "Chief Yin," "This has nothing to do with me. You''re just retaliating because of your son, aren''t you? And there are more methods waiting for me afterward," "I feel that it''s not right, it doesn''t suit someone of your stature. At your age, using such tactics against an 18-year-old kid, do you think that''s appropriate?" Yin Xueyang took a nce at Li Zhiyan and felt a pang ofpassion; perhaps this young man hade specifically to beg her to lift the punishment. But when she remembered the scene of her son cursing at Li Zhiyan, any feelings of soft-heartedness disappeared instantly. She had to fulfill her son''s demands; if he was aggrieved, she had to clean up for him. "This is all your own doing; begging me is useless. You''re an adult, and you must face the consequences of your actions," As Li Zhiyan looked at this utterly unreasonable woman, his dislike for Yin Xueyang grew. People like her, with no principles and favoring their son, would undoubtedly lead her son Yin Qiang to huge trouble one day. "Okay, Chief Yin, as long as you''re happy." "Goodbye." Seeing the approaching moment, Li Zhiyan stopped. Watching Li Zhiyan not follow, Yin Xueyang smirked coldly to herself. The Novel will be updated first on this website.
