56: Are you still concerned about Zhejiang?

Chapter 56: Are you still thinking about Zhejiang?

After Li Zhiyan and Wu Yuexian returned, Liu Xiaoyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm going back to my room first, Auntie."

After saying hello, Liu Xiaoyun ran back to her room with a pack of AD Calcium Milk. She felt a bit inferior when she was with Zhao Manman.

"Sister, you should go back and turn on the air conditioning first. The air conditioning here isn't very good."

Wu Yuexian didn't refuse. She didn't have much mother-daughter affection with Zhao Manman, so there wasn't much to talk about.

After Wu Yuexian left, only Li Zhiyan and his mother remained in the living room.

"Mom, it's so hot, and you're still cooking. It's too much work."

Zhao Manman put on her apron and started washing vegetables.

"Actually, when I'm alone, I don't like to go through so much trouble either."

"But don't you really like eating the dishes Mom cooks?"

"It's not easy for you to come here, so I definitely have to satisfy you."

"Otherwise, you won't have many chances to eat it later."

"Yuexian hasn't eaten my cooking either. This time, it's a good chance for her to try it."

"Help me wash the celery."

Li Zhiyan pulled out the fan in the kitchen. With the not-so-cool air conditioning from the living room, it wasn't too hot.

"The weather today is still good. If you had cooked in the past few days, you'd probably have died from the heat. It's going to rain today, and the wind is picking up now, so the temperature has dropped quite a bit."

Zhao Manman was slicing meat, her knife skills extremely practiced…

"I wonder if it's raining in Zhejiang right now."

Li Zhiyan asked, "Mom, are you still thinking about Zhejiang?"

"Not really. I'm just afraid that strong winds might blow things and crack the windows…"

Then, Zhao Manman smiled faintly.

"I always think about unnecessary things."

"I won't think about it anymore."

"But, Mom, that auntie's story is still very interesting. To be honest, I still admire her quite a bit."

Zhao Manman also remembered Yang Xintao, being with a young man like that.

She always felt that Yang Xintao had jumped into a fiery pit, and her future might be very miserable.

"I still feel that she seems to have done something she shouldn't have."

"After all, relationships with such a large age difference are actually very unstable."

"There are just too, too many obstacles in reality."

Li Zhiyan didn't know what to say.

"Mom, actually, it still depends on the person."

"You can keep an eye on this matter, and tell me if anything happens later. I'm actually very curious about this gossip too."

Zhao Manman agreed.

"Alright then, Mom will tell you if anything happens later."

Looking at Zhao Manman continuously chopping vegetables, Li Zhiyan reminded her, "Be careful, don't cut your hand."

"I know, don't worry, son."

"Oh, right, when are you planning to go back to Magic City?"

Zhao Manman thought about Li Zhiyan returning to Magic City, and then she would go there too.

Currently, Li Zhiyan was clearly no longer the young man with an average career he once was. It shouldn't be a problem for her and Meng Ting to reconcile.

Li Zhiyan remembered the matter of the house.

If he bought a large flat, he would essentially have no money left.

He should go back tonight… He had already gathered enough futures information.

If he could find a slightly larger market trend, turning his assets into hundreds of millions wouldn't be a problem.

With a hundred million, he would have much more confidence.

"There are still some things here. I'll go back soon. Ting's military training won't last much longer, and I need to pay more attention to her condition."

Zhao Manman hadn't expected Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting to have such a good relationship.

"But speaking of it, it's actually quite strange."

"When you got engaged, that child ran directly to her grandmother's house, unwilling to see you."

"She also ran away when you came for New Year's, also unwilling to see you."

"It seems like she felt her sister was taken away, and she was angry with you."

"Perhaps."

Li Zhiyan didn't know Ji Zhiting's exact thoughts. This gluttonous little girl was a bit quirky and hard to figure out.

Talking about Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan's heart instinctively wanted to pinch Ji Zhiting's bun again.

She really liked the bun hairstyle.

Just like Zhou Mengmeng liked thick twin ponytails.

However, a bun seemed less easy to grab than twin ponytails.

The mother and son chatted as a dinner was prepared.

After they finished, both of them were sweating quite a bit. The weather was still too hot after all.

Zhao Manman called out, "Dinner's ready, kids."

Soon, Wu Yuexian and Liu Xiaoyun came out of their rooms.

Liu Xiaoyun sniffed as she watched Li Zhiyan carry dishes to the table, and exclaimed admiringly, "This smell, it's so good…"

"Auntie, your cooking is amazing. Let me try some."

Li Zhiyan handed Liu Xiaoyun a pair of chopsticks.

"Don't worry, my mom's cooking is absolutely the best."

"The best food I've ever eaten is what my mom makes."

Hearing Li Zhiyan's praise, Zhao Manman also felt very happy.

To be affirmed by the child she cared about was truly a joyful thing.

After taking a bite, Liu Xiaoyun also gave a thumbs up.

Wu Yuexian also praised Zhao Manman's cooking endlessly.

"Auntie, your cooking is simply incredible."

Liu Xiaoyun didn't care about her image and ate her fill that night.

After taking a shower, she went to bed.

In her dream… she began to interrogate her brother, asking where all his hidden money went and why he hadn't sent her a McLaren yet.

After Wu Yuexian took a shower, she also came out.

"Li Yuexian, let my mom stay in your room tonight."

"You two can squeeze in a bit, and I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Wu Yuexian didn't mind this suggestion.

After Zhao Manman finished showering, she changed into her pajamas and went to Wu Yuexian's room.

Looking at the two pillows on the bed, Zhao Manman asked, "Xiao Yan slept here?"

"Yes, the air conditioning outside is broken and doesn't cool well."

"You should have felt it outside today."

"Xiao Yan and I grew up together, so I let him sleep here."

Zhao Manman didn't feel anything inappropriate. Their relationship was indeed good.

Moreover, Wu Yuexian must truly dote on Li Zhiyan. Otherwise, given Li Zhiyan's personality, he wouldn't have given Wu Yuexian a Big G worth over two million.

Love always requires mutual effort.

"It's really hot outside."

"Call Xiao Yan over. You sleep in the middle, and let him squeeze in on your side."

Wu Yuexian asked, "Won't that be too crowded? You might not be used to sleeping like that."

Zhao Manman smiled gently.

"It's nothing, just two children. Think of it as a large communal bed."

"It would really be too unfair to let Xiao Yan sleep outside."

Wu Yuexian actually didn't want Li Zhiyan to be hot outside either, but she knew when Li Zhiyan should do what kind of things.

"Then, I'll go call him over."
