127: In summer, I am used to wearing short skirts and black stockings
Liang Xinxin felt incredibly excited.
It was like an unexpected pleasant surprise.
She had originally thought that Mr. Li would be a middle-aged man or even an old man.
But to her surprise, a young man arrived instead.
He looked to be in his early twenties.
And most importantly, Li Zhiyan was incredibly handsome.
This truly made Liang Xinxin feel very excited; she was more than willing to befriend Li Zhiyan.
Seeing Liang Xinxin’s expression, Hu Mengyu finally felt completely relieved.
His future prosperity and wealth all depended on Liang Xinxin.
As long as Liang Xinxin could become good friends with Li Zhiyan, his future prospects would definitely be bright.
"Mr. Li, this is my wife, Liang Xinxin; she is very proficient in the traditional art of tea ceremony."
With that, Hu Mengyu casually closed the door.
Liang Xinxin, wearing black stockings and high heels, looked at Li Zhiyan and extended her slender hand.
"Mr. Li, hello, I am Liang Xinxin."
Li Zhiyan smiled and said, "My name is Li Zhiyan, Auntie, you can call me Xiao Yan."
Li Zhiyan didn't care about age; he only befriended people if they seemed compatible.
As long as they were compatible, they could become good friends.
They could sit together and discuss traditional culture.
Li Zhiyan truly enjoyed such things.
Li Zhiyan and Liang Xinxin clasped hands.
Both of them had a great interest in traditional culture.
So they walked into the house together.
At this moment, Hu Mengyu took out his phone and received a call.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have some matters at work that I need to attend to."
"So I can't accompany you two. Please enjoy your conversation."
At this point, Hu Mengyu seemed a bit apologetic.
He knew he had to go handle work matters.
He couldn't stay here, but discussions about the tea ceremony were best conducted in a quiet environment.
"Alright, you go ahead, husband. Business comes first."
Liang Xinxin urged Hu Mengyu; she was also a woman who knew what was important.
At this time, Hu Mengyu should quickly go do what he needed to do, instead of wasting time here.
Hu Mengyu, who had just closed the door, left in a hurry because he had something to do.
"Xiao Yan..."
After Hu Mengyu left,
Liang Xinxin called out Xiao Yan, feeling a strange sense of nervousness.
"Auntie, let's sit inside."
After the two sat down on the living room sofa, Li Zhiyan said, "I think it's indeed time for Mr. Hu to get a promotion, as he hasn't been promoted for so many years."
Hearing this, Liang Xinxin felt even more pleasantly surprised.
It seemed Mr. Li intended to befriend her, which was why he was giving her this consideration.
This was truly a good thing...
For her, this was truly a complete honor.
"Yes, this matter is entirely up to you. Without you, Old Hu probably wouldn't have any hope of promotion in this lifetime."
As she spoke...
She also felt a bit emotional; the abilities of people truly differed completely.
For Hu Mengyu, it was a height he yearned for and could never reach, even by risking his life.
For Mr. Li, it was just a casual remark.
The difference between them was truly immense.
"Xiao Yan, let's discuss matters related to the tea ceremony."
Hearing Liang Xinxin mention the tea ceremony,
Li Zhiyan also became interested. Wasn't his purpose for coming here to discuss the tea ceremony with Liang Xinxin?
He felt duty-bound to preserve traditional culture.
For him, this was a very necessary thing.
"Mm..."
Liang Xinxin began chatting with Li Zhiyan.
Li Zhiyan found that he and Liang Xinxin had many topics in common.
Becoming friends was truly an excellent choice.
"Auntie, actually, I'm also very proficient in traditional Chinese medicine."
While discussing traditional culture, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but bring up traditional Chinese medicine, as it played an irreplaceable role in traditional culture.
And Li Zhiyan was quite proficient in traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, he had helped Zhao Manman when her ankle was sprained.
And he also helped Xu Yingying when her leg was injured.
He loved helping others.
"You also know traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Yan."
At this moment, Liang Xinxin felt even more surprised. She increasingly felt that Li Zhiyan seemed omnipotent, with nothing he couldn't do.
He even knew a lot about traditional Chinese medicine.
"Yes, I do know a bit about traditional Chinese medicine."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Liang Xinxin sat closer and pointed to her leg.
"My leg has been a bit sore lately, maybe because I haven't moved around much."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyan knew this was his area of expertise in professional medical fields.
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. I do know a bit about this area."
Looking at Liang Xinxin's leg, Li Zhiyan gently lifted it and placed it on his own lap.
"My massage skills are very professional."
Feeling Li Zhiyan's professionalism in medicine, Liang Xinxin couldn't help but feel that Li Zhiyan was very impressive.
A long time later, she knelt before Li Zhiyan.
She expressed her gratitude to Li Zhiyan for his help to her family.
...
The two had an in-depth exchange about the culture of traditional tea ceremony and were both very happy.
Li Zhiyan felt that traditional culture needed to be vigorously promoted.
After a long time, he left Hu Mengyu's home.
Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye.
It was the day Wu Yuexian was three months pregnant.
After Li Zhiyan drove to the villa he bought for Wu Yuexian, he saw that Wu Yuexian's belly had already swelled.
Seeing the very obvious signs of life, Li Zhiyan also felt very happy.
"Xiao Yan, you're here."
Wu Yuexian slowly walked up to Li Zhiyan, and the two held hands as they walked into the villa.
"You've completely adapted to life here by now, haven't you?"
After Li Zhiyan asked, Wu Yuexian also nodded very seriously.
"Mm, life here is very good, I've completely gotten used to it."
"Now the baby can already be seen a little."
After the two arrived at the villa sofa, Li Zhiyan greeted the female doctor.
"How is Wu Yuexian's physical condition?"
The female doctor answered very seriously, "Don't worry, Miss Wu's body has absolutely no problems. The fetus's condition is also very stable now, and the baby will definitely be born very smoothly."
Hearing the doctor say this, Li Zhiyan also felt relieved.
After the two chatted for a while, the doctor went upstairs to her room.
Soon, only Li Zhiyan and Wu Yuexian were left in the villa.
After helping Wu Yuexian sit on the sofa, Li Zhiyan lay down and gently rested his head on Wu Yuexian's belly.
"You said you couldn't hear the baby's sound before, but you should be able to hear it now, right?"
Wu Yuexian lovingly stroked Li Zhiyan's head.
"You Hanhan..."
"It's only three months, what hammer can you hear?"
At this moment, Li Zhiyan suddenly thought of something.
"Can we now..."
"Just be gentle."
Wu Yuexian felt a little shy; Li Zhiyan was discussing this with her.
It truly made her feel at a loss.
However, she also knew that she and Li Zhiyan had indeed been quiet for too long.
"The doctor said we can..."
Hearing Wu Yuexian say this, Li Zhiyan also couldn't wait any longer.
"Then, let's go to your room and get some good rest."
"I see you're tired too."
Wu Yuexian hummed in agreement.
Li Zhiyan picked Wu Yuexian up in one swoop and walked towards Wu Yuexian's bedroom.
Wu Yuexian's bedroom was very large, with many traces of Li Zhiyan.
After the two entered the bedroom,
Everything happened naturally.
...
A long time later, Wu Yuexian looked at Li Zhiyan beside her.
She said with some surprise, "Why didn't I notice before how gentle you are?"
"From now on, I'll always be this gentle, but after a year, I won't be this gentle anymore."
Wu Yuexian's face was flushed; she felt very satisfied with her current life.
...
Time flew by like a white colt crossing a gap, and Li Zhiyan greatly enjoyed his current leisurely time.
The weather now was also warm with blooming flowers, very suitable for doing some happy things.
And the girls also often came to his villa to play.
In the morning, Zhou Mengmeng and Zhou Lili left together.
The sisters' pretty faces were flushed, clearly very happy with their current lives.
Indeed, as long as one lives happily, their complexion will improve significantly; this is undeniable.
"Let's go see Aunt Xu..."
Li Zhiyan felt that he should go chat with Aunt Xu.
He wondered if her injury had healed yet.
Upon arriving at Xu Yingying's home, Li Zhiyan saw that Xu Xuanxuan was also there.
Xu Xuanxuan's demeanor had become much more noble now.
Perhaps it was due to her promotion, so the confidence radiating from her very bones was truly perfect.
After Li Zhiyan entered the house, he immediately asked Xu Yingying about her injury.
Other things might not matter.
But this matter was truly a big deal.
So he couldn't be careless.
"Please continue to treat me, it hasn't fully healed yet."
Li Zhiyan then demonstrated his traditional Chinese medicine abilities again.
And Xu Xuanxuan, who was nearby, was already used to this.
Li Zhiyan often discussed traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation with her and her mother.
Now she also knew some medical skills and understood some issues related to traditional culture.
The three of them chatted together, discussing topics related to traditional Chinese medicine.
After a long time, Li Zhiyan looked at the scenery outside the window.
He had many feelings.
"Time passes so quickly."
Xu Xuanxuan walked over from behind.
"Yes, time certainly passes quickly, but some things that I never thought would happen in my life have actually come true now."
Xu Xuanxuan felt increasingly fortunate that she could know Li Zhiyan in this lifetime.
And at a crucial moment, she made the most correct decision in her life.
It was precisely because of that decision that she had everything she had now.
"Xuanxuan, I will come to see you often in the future."
Xu Yingying, who was nearby, also stepped forward, feeling very touched.
Li Zhiyan held a distinguished position, yet he still kept them in his heart and treated them as family.
This was truly a very touching thing.
...
During this time, Hu Mengyu also successfully got the promotion he wished for.
After returning home, he looked at Liang Xinxin, whose face was flushed with happiness.
He felt very pleased.
"Wife, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get promoted at all."
"It's a good thing you know a lot about traditional tea ceremony culture, which allowed you to become good friends with Mr. Li."
He knew very well that his promotion was entirely due to Liang Xinxin's good relationship with Li Zhiyan.
That's why he was able to get promoted; otherwise, he would have had no hope in this lifetime.
"Don't thank me, you should thank Mr. Li. We've had in-depth discussions about the origins of tea ceremony culture during this time, from Da Hong Pao to Bi Luo Chun. We became more and more compatible and developed more and moretacit agreement (tacit understanding)."
"So we became true good friends."
"If it weren't for Mr. Li, you wouldn't have amounted to much in this life either."
Hu Mengyu was told he wouldn't amount to much, but he didn't mind. Now that he had a powerful backer, everything else was irrelevant. Anyway, he was promoted now.
He didn't care what was said about him.
After all, the most terrifying thing wasn't being talked about, but being unable to get promoted.
"From now on, I'll be eating and living at the office, wife. You must maintain this friendship with Mr. Li well; he is my hope for promotion!"
Liang Xinxin nodded. She was more than willing to be friends with Li Zhiyan.
"Xiao Yan and I are like Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya; our friendship will definitely be very strong!"
Hu Mengyu found it very interesting; friendship was truly wonderful.
...
As time went on, Wu Yuexian's belly grew larger and larger.
She even started walking cautiously.
And Li Zhiyan was also very careful when comforting Wu Yuexian.
He was afraid of any accidents; at this time, being careful was the safest.
And Chi Wanwan also gradually started showing her pregnancy.
After seeing the photos Chi Wanwan sent him,
Li Zhiyan immediately went to Chi Wanwan's place, wanting to see how Chi Wanwan was doing now.
When Li Zhiyan arrived at Chi Wanwan's villa,
Seeing Chi Wanwan walking towards him, Li Zhiyan called out, "Slow down, I'll come over."
Hearing Li Zhiyan say this, Chi Wanwan also slowed her steps.
After Li Zhiyan arrived, he took Chi Wanwan's delicate hand.
"Baby, your belly is really showing now. In another seven months, we'll have our baby."
The weather was already a bit warm now.
Li Zhiyan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
However, Chi Wanwan was still wearing her usual black stockings.
Because she knew that Li Zhiyan liked her in black stockings.
Looking at Chi Wanwan in her black stockings and short skirt, Li Zhiyan also felt a stir in his heart.
No matter when, Chi Wanwan always made Li Zhiyan feel a strange sense of excitement.
Then, he put his arm around Chi Wanwan's slender waist. (End of Chapter)
