64: Confession

Chapter 64: A Generous Confession

Li Zhiyan stepped forward and gently hugged Zhao Manman.

“Mom… I’m leaving.”

“If anything comes up in the future, you can always send me a WeChat message; I’ll be there.”

Then, Li Zhiyan turned and left.

Zhao Manman felt a warmth in her heart, knowing her son cared deeply for her.

He didn’t mind the trouble at all, driving her all the way from Wan City to Zhejing.

Watching Li Zhiyan’s retreating figure,

Zhao Manman felt very warm inside; he truly was a wonderful son.

The bond between mother and son was truly growing closer.

She noticed her nails had grown quite long; she had neglected her personal hygiene a bit lately in Wan City.

She should go home and trim her nails.

The weather was too hot, and it was uncomfortable staying there, so Zhao Manman eagerly started her car.

…

After returning to the Magic City,

Li Zhiyan had Old Sun pick him up.

Upon arriving at the study, Li Zhiyan discovered that 120 million had been deposited into his bank card.

“120 million.”

“It looks like Xiao Li has stopped, and this time the profit is quite good.”

“120 million, I’ve finally joined the small goal club.”

At this point, Li Zhiyan had 130 million in cash in his card.

“So many zeros.”

“Is this what it feels like to have a small goal?”

Li Zhiyan looked at the long string of zeros, and it was the first time he truly understood how those wealthy people felt.

Even if he completely slacked off now, he could live a very comfortable life just on the interest.

“However, 130 million is enough to buy a commercial apartment in the Magic City.”

“But for large, flat-level apartments in Lujiazui or some top-tier villas, it’s still far from enough.”

Li Zhiyan planned to continue looking for futures market opportunities to increase his wealth by another digit as soon as possible.

Soon, someone entered the house.

Accompanying them was Ji Zhiting’s sweet voice.

“Brother!”

“I’m back. Our military training is over, and classes don’t start until tomorrow afternoon.”

Listening to Ji Zhiting’s sweet voice,

Li Zhiyan’s mood also improved greatly.

Seeing the light on in the study, Ji Zhiting pushed the door open and ran in.

“Brother, long time no see. I missed you so much while you were back in Wan City.”

Li Zhiyan pulled over a chair.

“Come here, Xiao Ting, let me see if you got tanned.”

Military training could be a nightmare for many girls, especially for girls like Ji Zhiting, who inherited Zhao Manman’s fair skin.

“No, I’ve always been very careful about sun protection. I applied a thick layer every day and carried several bottles of sunscreen spray with me.”

“I didn’t get tanned at all. My sister came to see me and even said I wasn’t tanned.”

Hearing Ji Zhiting mention Ji Mengting,

Li Zhiyan also asked, “Your sister is so busy with her business, yet she still made time to see you.”

Since the divorce, Li Zhiyan had not seen Ji Mengting again.

“Uh-huh… I took her to see my bubble tea shop.”

“I think she couldn’t believe the bubble tea shop was a gift from you.”

Li Zhiyan pinched Ji Zhiting’s bun.

“Why do you tell your sister everything?”

Li Zhiyan’s eyes involuntarily drifted to Ji Zhiting’s long, beautiful legs.

As a married man, he had been missing certain things for a long time.

Lately, his energy seemed to be growing stronger and stronger.

There was always someone around him who made him feel very energetic.

Especially…

“Of course, Brother, I’m on your side!”

Li Zhiyan gently embraced Ji Zhiting and then pinched her pretty face, full of doting affection.

Ji Zhiting’s face was a little red; she remembered the crowded situation in the car earlier.

So scary…

“Brother… Actually, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“Although I think you might not take it seriously, I’m afraid you’ll remarry my sister.”

“So I have to tell you.”

Ji Zhiting knew how much resistance she and Li Zhiyan would face if they were together.

He completely treated her like a child.

If she didn’t take the initiative, there would truly be no chance at all.

Unlike Zhou Mengmeng in this regard, Ji Zhiting was a very brave girl who dared to love and hate. If she liked someone, she would openly and generously express it, just like when she told Li Zhiyan to marry her before.

“Tell me.”

Li Zhiyan had a bad premonition.

This girl wouldn’t…

“I like you. Let’s be together…”

“I want to be your girlfriend, to be with you, and to accompany you for the rest of your life.”

“Do you know why I always hid from you when you came to my house before…?”

Li Zhiyan fell silent. Sure enough, Ji Zhiting was going to confess to him.

She had actually mentioned it a few times before, but he had brushed her off.

This time, with such a serious and formal confession,

There was no way he could just gloss over it in his heart.

This point was truly too troublesome.

Zhao Manman’s family was currently undergoing a terrible upheaval.

Li Zhiyan hadn’t even figured out how to tell her yet…

He also didn’t know how Zhao Manman would bear all of this.

And he and Ji Mengting had only recently divorced.

If he were to get together with Ji Zhiting again, the blow to her would be unimaginable.

Zhao Manman was truly a very good elder, and she cared for him deeply.

Li Zhiyan didn’t want to make her so sad.

“If that happens, your sister, and your mother, will be very sad.”

“Ting…”

Li Zhiyan stroked Ji Zhiting’s face.

His surging emotions gradually calmed down.

Actually, his thoughts weren’t just about Ji Zhiting.

There was also…

Listening to Li Zhiyan’s words,

Ji Zhiting’s tears also flowed uncontrollably.

“Brother, are you rejecting me?”

“I really like you, I’ve always liked you.”

“I just want to be with you.”

Seeing Ji Zhiting’s pitiful expression,

Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but embrace Ji Zhiting.

He felt very distressed.

“Alright, Ting, for this matter, let’s give each other a little time. Anyway, National Day is coming soon.”

“We’ll go to Suzhou to play, and while we’re out.”

“We’ll talk about this again.”

“Actually, I like you too, but I need to resolve something first.”

“Later, I will definitely give you an answer.”

Hearing that Li Zhiyan also liked her,

Ji Zhiting felt much more relieved.

“Mm-hmm…”

“Then you must give me an answer in Suzhou.”

“I’m going to take a shower and go to bed first.”

“We can be together first and talk slowly. If you think I’m not good enough, I won’t pester you.”

With tears in her eyes, Ji Zhiting very proactively kissed Li Zhiyan on the cheek.

Then she left the study.

“Troublesome…”

Li Zhiyan didn’t intend to be coy. Anyway, he didn’t want to change his mother-in-law.

After getting Ji Yunhai’s evidence, he would be with Ji Zhiting.

Life always lacked some enjoyable things; it was simply too boring.

Li Zhiyan was very unaccustomed to it.

Gathering his thoughts, Li Zhiyan continued to look at the futures market.

Su Jinan’s call came in.

Li Zhiyan knew that Ji Yunhai’s evidence had arrived…
