3: I'm 18 too. I'll give myself to you.

Chapter 3: I'm 18 too, if it doesn't work out, I'll give myself to you.

He Shilian, on the other end of the phone, clearly didn't want to have too much interaction with Li Zhiyan.

So as not to let Li Zhiyan misunderstand anything.

“Okay, I understand. Please come over as soon as possible this afternoon. I’ll start on my part first.”

After hanging up, Li Zhiyan wanted to rush to the company.

However, he suddenly thought of something.

Sure enough, his former mother-in-law, Zhao Manman, called him via WeChat video.

Soon, Zhao Manman's beautiful face appeared in the WeChat video.

It was very hot, and Li Zhiyan swallowed his saliva.

This damn weather.

It's really hot…

“Mom.”

Li Zhiyan subconsciously called out.

Zhao Manman didn't know yet that he had already divorced Ji Mengting.

“Yes.”

Zhao Manman, 42, married Li Zhiyan's father-in-law relatively early.

Coupled with good maintenance, although she had two daughters, she still looked like she was only twenty-five or twenty-six.

Compared to Ji Mengting, she wasn't much older.

“Ting is going to university near you, and school starts in a few days, so I told her to go there first. You can pick her up later.”

“She’ll be staying with you during university.”

Listening to Zhao Manman's instructions, Li Zhiyan thought of that greedy little kid.

When he was in university and pursuing Ji Mengting, he noticed that she was often followed by a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid.

This little girl's face was much more delicate than Ji Mengting's.

Since he didn't have a good opportunity, he set his sights on Ji Zhiting.

At that time, Ji Zhiting had studied here for a year.

So, getting in touch with Ji Zhiting could help him pursue Ji Mengting.

The first time they met, he gave Ji Zhiting a pack of White Rabbit creamy candies and AD Calcium Milk.

And they became friends.

Afterward, he often bought her snacks.

Later, he asked her to deliver a confession gift.

She came back and told him that her sister told him to keep up the good work.

From then on, the small snacks for Ji Zhiting never stopped.

He even often helped her with her junior high school assignments…

It took him half a year to finally win Ji Mengting over.

On the night Ji Mengting agreed, she asked, “Why are you so persistent? I rejected you so many times, why did you still pursue me?”

“My mom was very against us being together. If you weren’t so sincere, we really wouldn’t have had any hope.”

Ji Mengting’s words left Li Zhiyan a bit confused.

He found the little kid and asked her.

The girl lowered her head and said shyly, “I’m sorry, I was afraid you’d be sad and I wouldn’t have snacks anymore. My sister won’t buy them for me, saying I’ll get fat.”

“If my sister doesn’t agree,”

“When I grow up, I’ll give myself to you.”

“So you won’t lose out…”

At that time, Ji Zhiting's words really choked Li Zhiyan.

During the time Ji Mengting was in Modu, her relationship with him was really good.

Just like siblings.

It's just that he hadn't seen her for several years.

“I understand, Mom…”

“Don’t worry.”

Although he had divorced Ji Mengting, his feelings for Ji Zhiting were not fake at all.

So, Li Zhiyan was very willing to pick up Ji Zhiting.

“Also… Mom knows that a while ago, she gave Meng Ting some money to start a company.”

“She might be a bit arrogant lately, but don’t worry.”

“Mom plans to give you half of the shares in this company so you two can live well.”

“Next time Mom comes over, she’ll transfer half the shares to you, so you won’t have difficulties later on.”

“With your current income, a salary of over nine thousand a month, she’ll probably look down on you more and more.”

Zhao Manman actually looked down on Li Zhiyan in her heart.

However, after marriage, she also treated this son-in-law like a son.

She was a very sensitive woman.

Zhao Manman’s words completely exceeded Li Zhiyan’s imagination.

He really didn't expect…

Zhao Manman would actually be willing to split the company she gave her daughter with him.

After thinking about it, this woman had always been very gentle and good to him.

When he used to visit her home, even though she was very busy with business matters, she would still spend a lot of time making him all sorts of delicious food.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyan felt a warmth in his heart.

It's just that he wouldn't have such a good mother-in-law anymore.

“Alright, Mom has something else to do.”

“Ting left this morning. I told her to call you when she arrived.”

“Just pay attention.”

After giving a few instructions.

Zhao Manman hung up the video call.

Ten minutes later, Li Zhiyan received a WeChat voice message from Ji Zhiting.

Because he hadn't seen Ji Zhiting for a long time, in Li Zhiyan's mind, Ji Zhiting was still the image of that fair-skinned little girl with twin pigtails.

“Brother! I’m at your doorstep!”

“Aren’t you home? I knocked, but no one answered.”

Li Zhiyan listened to the ethereal, unfamiliar voice.

He asked, “Ting, why didn’t you call and ask brother to pick you up at the high-speed rail station?”

“I'm 18, not 8. Can't I just take a taxi?”

“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

After a few minutes' walk, Li Zhiyan returned home.

As the school year approached, the weather was indeed very hot.

When Li Zhiyan took the elevator to his floor, he saw a graceful girl, wearing a white T-shirt, denim shorts that covered half her thighs, simple canvas shoes, and a cute bun, waiting for him at the doorstep.

“You are…”

Li Zhiyan really couldn't recognize her.

He found it difficult to connect the graceful young woman in front of him with that greedy little kid.

When he got married, she was unwell and didn't come, and when he went to Zhe Jiang, she always avoided him and didn't want to see him. To this day, Li Zhiyan still doesn't know why she was so distant from him during that period.

Now, looking closely, Ji Zhiting’s figure was truly quite impressive!

“Brother, you don’t recognize me? I’m your sister!”

Ji Zhiting was very excited to see Li Zhiyan again.

She stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhiyan's hand, unwilling to let go.

In such hot weather, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.

If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't wearing makeup, her makeup would have already smudged.

But even without makeup, her skin was more than one shade fairer than Li Zhiyan's.

“Alright, alright, it’s hot outside, let’s go inside first.”

Li Zhiyan released Ji Zhiting's hand.

This girl, after growing up, was truly uncontrollable.

He couldn't just keep exploiting his family members.

Upon reaching the living room, Ji Zhiting hurried towards the cabinet air conditioner and blew at the air outlet.

“So hot! Brother! Where’s my sister?”

Ji Zhiting deliberately blew cool air on the bun tied on top of her head.

“Your sister went to do business.”

“I’ll take you to school later.”

If it were before, it would have been reasonable for Ji Zhiting to live here.

But now that he had divorced Ji Mengting, he had no relation to her.

It was truly inappropriate for a man and a woman to live together alone.

“Brother…”

“You don’t want me to live here, do you?”

Ji Zhiting looked at Li Zhiyan with a wronged expression.

Her voice even had a hint of a sob.

“Don’t be sad…”

Li Zhiyan stroked Ji Zhiting's head.

“Actually, it’s not that I don’t want you to live here, but your sister and I divorced yesterday, so it’s not appropriate for you to continue living here.”

“After all, we…”

Soon, Li Zhiyan's words were interrupted by Ji Zhiting.

“I thought it was something else…”

“So what if you’re divorced? Your divorce from her doesn’t affect our relationship.”

“We’re good buddies!”

“When school starts, I’ll introduce my roommate to you. If she doesn’t love you, someone else will.”

Listening to Ji Zhiting’s words, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but smile and ask, “How old is your brother? Will those 18-year-old college students like your brother?”

“In the end, I’ll still be single.”

Ji Zhiting said with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes, “Aren’t I 18 too?!”

“If the introduction doesn’t work out, I’ll give myself to you.”

“So you won’t lose out…”
