76: Love is deep and lingering, don't use [ten thousand words]

Chapter 76: Deep Affection and Intimacy, Don't Use It [Ten Thousand Words]

Villa...

Zhao Manman looked at her surroundings and felt a strange sense of desolation.

Ji Yunhai's room had been emptied by Li Zhiyan's orders.

Many of his belongings were directly thrown away.

Zhao Manman did not stop this; Ji Yunhai truly deserved to be completely erased from her life.

He had been too heartless towards her, and the upcoming prison time was his just deserts.

Before, she hadn't felt anything amiss, living at home felt quite good.

But now, Zhao Manman realized that it was because her children were by her side.

That’s why she didn't feel lonely, but when she was truly left alone, there was only endless sorrow.

The lingering warmth of the setting sun fell upon her black silk-clad legs, yet Zhao Manman couldn't feel a hint of warmth.

“Let’s sell this house…”

Zhao Manman suddenly had this thought.

And some industries that she had to keep an eye on could actually be sold too.

After converting them into cash, she could settle down in Yan City.

Both of her precious daughters and her son were there.

There, she could frequently experience family affection.

And...

Once this thought took root, Zhao Manman could no longer control it.

“I… I should actually go, go to Yan City, that should be where I belong, not this cold place.”

Zhao Manman used to think this was where she would spend her life, but now, her beliefs were completely shaken.

Also, this matter should be told to Da Ting Bao.

Thinking of this, Zhao Manman made a video call to Ji Mengting.

“Baby.”

Upon seeing Zhao Manman, Ji Mengting also cooed, “Dearest Mom, what’s up?”

“Your father and I are divorced.”

Hearing this, Ji Mengting’s expression changed drastically.

“What happened…? Weren’t you and Dad always fine?”

“How could you suddenly say you’re divorced?”

Ji Mengting’s voice was a bit anxious.

“Your father cheated and had a son with someone else.”

One sentence made Ji Mengting feel like her worldview was shattered.

Cheated and had a son?

“When did this happen?”

Zhao Manman calmly said, “It started after I got pregnant with Xiao Ting.”

“Not long ago, he transferred the family assets, not wanting to leave anything for us three women.”

“I sued him for divorce, and now he’s been sentenced to prison for bigamy.”

Ji Zhiting knew the verdict as soon as it came out.

So she calmly accepted it now.

Zhao Manman was a bit worried now that Ji Mengting might not be able to face the disintegration of their family.

This should also be a significant blow to her.

However, Ji Mengting was also very calm and did not ask about Ji Yunhai.

Instead, she asked about Zhao Manman.

“Mom, are you okay?”

“Mom’s fine. This matter is over. Xiao Yan has been helping out at home.”

Hearing this, Ji Mengting was also incredibly surprised.

“Li Zhiyan, came home to help? We’re already divorced, what relationship does he still have with you?”

In Ji Mengting’s heart, after they divorced, they could only be considered ordinary friends.

She and he had no more contact now.

Let alone with her family?

“Baby, don’t say that.”

“Xiao Yan is truly a very good child. Although we’re divorced, he still treats me as his mother, and your sister, he also treats her very diligently and well.”

“He is truly a very good person. Do you really have no feelings for him at all?”

Ji Mengting fell silent. After being divorced for so long, she had gradually calmed down.

Before, she pursued a life of luxury and splendor, and her heart was somewhat inflated.

That’s why she increasingly looked down on Li Zhiyan, whose career was mediocre.

But after they separated, many nights she would think of how good Li Zhiyan was to her.

Back then, Li Zhiyan pursued her for so long without giving up.

Even when she explicitly told her sister to tell him that she didn't have feelings for him, Li Zhiyan still didn't give up.

In his heart, he must have liked her very, very much.

Thinking of so many years of feelings, Ji Mengting’s heart ached.

Seeing Ji Mengting’s expression, Zhao Manman understood.

Da Ting Bao’s heart still held Li Zhiyan.

She just felt that their lives were completely on two different paths.

But now, it wasn't a question of whether she wanted Li Zhiyan or not.

Given Li Zhiyan’s current situation, he probably wouldn't even look at Da Ting Bao.

If she mediated, there might still be a chance.

After all, Li Zhiyan didn't have a girlfriend yet...

As for...

Anyway, she hadn’t noticed him looking for a partner recently.

“So, you and Xiao Yan still have feelings for each other, right?”

Ji Mengting said after a while, “I do like him, and that hasn’t changed, but I want a perfect life.”

“His career really doesn’t meet my expectations, and I haven’t thought about finding someone else. I just want to live the free life I desire, that’s all.”

Zhao Manman also understood Ji Mengting; she wanted freedom.

And a life with Li Zhiyan was not what she wanted.

“Silly baby…”

“Actually, some things are just your own imagination.”

“Is Xiao Yan really as mediocre as you imagine?”

“Actually, not entirely. Xiao Yan is much more formidable than you imagine.”

Ji Mengting recalled the milk tea shop Li Zhiyan gave to Ji Zhiting.

Indeed, it was like that...

He seemed different from what she had imagined.

“Ting Ting, you’ve calmed down quite a bit. In the coming time, you should also seriously think about whether you still like Xiao Yan.”

“If some things are made up early, there might still be a chance.”

“But, later, everything will be too late.”

“Xiao Yan is definitely much more dazzling than you imagine.”

Ji Mengting lowered her head, saying nothing. In her heart, she truly missed Li Zhiyan.

After a while, Ji Mengting said in a deep voice, “Mom, I’ll think about it seriously when I have time.”

“I understand. Don’t worry about Dad’s matter. Ting and I will definitely stand by you. He did such a thing.”

“I’ll just pretend he never existed.”

Zhao Manman felt very relieved in her heart.

Her children were all on her side.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Manman found a real estate agent.

She wanted to inquire about the current market value of this villa.

She wanted to see how much it would approximately sell for.

At the same time, she also planned to consult about the sale of some properties.

...

The dishes began to be served, interrupting their conversation.

At this moment, Ji Zhiting’s pretty face was flushed. She was a true maiden.

Regarding matters between men and women, she was completely blank.

And some things, she could only imagine.

Recently, she had imagined some general ways and scenarios with Li Zhiyan.

Such as in the kitchen...

And the bathroom, and so on.

After talking to Li Zhiyan about safety issues just now, she became too shy to speak.

Li Zhiyan looked at the extremely shy Ji Zhiting, and he remembered.

Actually, when he and Meng Ting hadn't broken up, and it was their first time, it was also like this...

She was also pure and had never had a boyfriend.

The two of them did bear some resemblance.

However, Ji Zhiting was full of girlish charm, younger and more beautiful.

“Well, actually, there’s still that at home.”

After the waiter left, Li Zhiyan chatted with Ji Zhiting.

For a girl like her, who had just turned eighteen and had no experience at all, it was normal to be completely clueless about certain things.

He would have to slowly teach her many things to get through the adjustment period.

This way, they could be more harmonious and understand each other better in the future.

“There’s still some at home, I don’t want it…”

“I don’t want things left over by others.”

Ji Zhiting knew who it was used with before.

Li Zhiyan was a bit exasperated; this little girl was still very jealous.

“Alright, then I’ll go buy a new box this afternoon.”

Hearing Li Zhiyan say he would buy a new box, Ji Zhiting nodded somewhat proudly.

The jealousy in her heart also dissipated quite a bit.

“Also, you and me…”

“Those things you bought with her, the ones to prevent accidents.”

“Throw them all away. Don’t use them again, don’t think about them anymore.”

“From now on, I’ll be enough to accompany you for these things.”

“Just make sure I don’t get pregnant.”

As she spoke, Ji Zhiting leaned over and buried her head in Li Zhiyan’s chest.

Through his shirt, Li Zhiyan could feel that Ji Zhiting’s face was indeed very, very hot.

“Alright, Ting Bao.”

“It’s Xiao Ting Bao, not Ting Bao.”

Ji Zhiting’s jealous voice sounded.

Li Zhiyan had a premonition that in their current house, Ji Zhiting would probably be endlessly jealous.

Before they took this step, Ji Zhiting wouldn't have felt anything, but now, it would be different.

Therefore, he still needed to buy a new luxury mansion in the city as soon as possible.

“Okay, Xiao Ting Bao.”

Li Zhiyan hugged Ji Zhiting, then kissed her hot, pretty face.

He coaxed her like he was coaxing a child.

“Then… when I get home, I’ll give you my first kiss first. I need to prepare well. You make me something delicious tonight.”

Afterward, Ji Zhiting left Li Zhiyan’s embrace and began to eat.

She was indeed a bit hungry.

“Okay, whatever you want to eat, just tell me on WeChat, and I’ll make it for you.”

...

Back at school, Ji Zhiting prepared for the last class of the afternoon.

Upon reaching the dormitory, Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen were taking a nap.

Ji Zhiting, meanwhile, began to remove her makeup, intending to reapply a light one.

Today was her first kiss and her first special experience.

Therefore, she had to face Li Zhiyan in her best state.

Next to her, Zhou Mengmeng, who wasn’t asleep, softly asked, “Xiao Ting, why are you removing your makeup at this time?”

She spoke very quietly. When she was with Ji Zhiting, she felt very relaxed, especially after they went to many places during the National Day holiday.

That deepened Zhou Mengmeng and Ji Zhiting’s friendship quite a bit.

“Something’s happening tonight…”

Zhou Mengmeng couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going on a date with Yan Ge?”

“Are you two together…?”

When she asked this question, Zhou Mengmeng felt a great deal of discomfort in her heart.

She liked Li Zhiyan a lot too...

But the distance between Li Zhiyan and her was simply too far.

“Mm, I can’t tell anyone yet that we’re dating.”

“Mengmeng, you have to keep it a secret for me.”

Zhou Mengmeng softly hummed in response.

She felt a sense of being blocked by a huge object in her heart, very suppressed.

Her first love in this life, and the first person she bravely expressed her feelings to.

Yet, she couldn’t be with him.

At the same time, she also felt very surprised.

Ji Zhiting saying this could only mean one thing.

Li Zhiyan had said the same thing to her, which was why she was willing to secretly date Li Zhiyan.

But, for such a beautiful and proud girl, was doing this really normal?

Or rather, were the things she absolutely couldn't agree to not that difficult for other girls to agree to?

After all, Li Zhiyan was too outstanding.

“Xiao Ting, I want to ask you a question.”

“Don’t you feel bad dating him without making it public?”

Ji Zhiting, who was starting to put on makeup, softly replied, “Actually, life is so short. Even if it’s not public, it doesn’t matter.”

“As long as I can be with the person I like, that’s enough. Isn’t that the most important thing?”

Ji Zhiting had also thought about some things recently.

If being with Li Zhiyan would make her sister break down, then she could be his secret girlfriend for life.

After she graduated, she could secretly have a child with him.

Zhou Mengmeng hadn’t expected Ji Zhiting to be so open-minded and accept Li Zhiyan’s idea.

Such a beautiful and wealthy young woman, whose conditions were much better than her own.

She could even accept such terms.

Could she also consider it?

A strange thought arose in her mind.

Soon, she forcefully stopped that thought.

...

In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to Zhiyan Investment Company.

After he informed Liu Yeping in advance, Liu Yeping went to pick him up early.

Seeing Liu Yeping again, Li Zhiyan felt that this follower’s efficiency was indeed good.

“Mr. Li, are you here to inspect the company’s business?”

“I’ve opened up many new businesses for your company, all of which are guaranteed to be profitable.”

Liu Yeping always kept in mind that as long as he could win Li Zhiyan’s favor, he would have no risks in the future.

And it was indeed true; during Li Zhiyan’s previous return, he continuously expanded his network.

Now, not only in Yan City, but he also had his people in Wan City.

Many things Li Zhiyan wanted to do were very easy.

“Accompany me to buy a car. You know more about this.”

Hearing about buying a car, Liu Yeping immediately stated that he was good at this.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Li, I know everything, and I have many friends. What kind of car do you want to buy?”

Li Zhiyan didn't hesitate either.

“A rolls-royce. I’m tired of the old car.”

“Might as well go all out.”

Liu Yeping also said earnestly, “Indeed, Mr. Li, I’ve always felt that for your status, driving a car in the million-dollar range is a bit too low-end.”

“At least a rolls-royce level is fitting for you.”

The two chatted as they arrived at a 4S dealership.

“This luxury car dealership is owned by my friend. You can rest assured that you’ll get the car at the lowest price.”

Before coming, Liu Yeping had already contacted his friend.

So, upon seeing Li Zhiyan arrive, he was also extremely enthusiastic.

He asked Li Zhiyan what kind of model he liked.

“Mr. Li, we have many cars here. Basically, all the luxury cars on the market are here, and we also have some rare luxury cars.”

“For rolls-royce, we have a Wraith, a Spectre, a Cullinan, and a Phantom.”

“See which one you like; I guarantee I won’t make a single cent off you.”

The boss also knew that becoming friends with Li Zhiyan was the biggest gain.

As for other things, they weren’t that important.

“The Phantom, then.”

Li Zhiyan looked carefully; he still preferred the Phantom.

Normally, a Phantom would cost tens of millions on the road, but for Li Zhiyan, ten million yuan was indeed nothing now.

“Then I’ll quote you the price…”,

“Don’t worry, I guarantee I won’t make a single cent off you.”

The boss quoted a very reasonable price.

Li Zhiyan could also tell that it was indeed cheaper than the market price.

He immediately bought the Phantom.

After all the procedures were completed, the arriving Old Zhang drove the rolls-royce, taking Li Zhiyan and Liu Yeping to Zhiyan Investment Company.

Both he and Old Sun were overjoyed.

This boss’s strength was indeed extraordinary; not long ago, he was still driving a luxury car worth millions.

Now he had switched to a rolls-royce so quickly; the leap was truly immense.

…

Upon arriving at the company, Liu Yeping showed Li Zhiyan many of the company’s projects.

Li Zhiyan saw that they were all projects anyone could do…

However, they weren’t projects that ordinary people could do, and making money was incredibly stable.

“Mr. Li, you’re here!”

Hu Mengke, wearing a black professional suit with black stockings and high heels, walked in with a cup of tea.

Looking at Li Zhiyan sitting in the office chair,

her heart was truly filled with pleasant surprise at this moment.

After successfully joining Zhiyan Investment, she had originally thought that Li Zhiyan would frequently come to the company.

That way, she would have the opportunity to do some things, being close at hand.

After all, secretaries handle tasks when there are tasks.

When there are no tasks, they…

But she hadn’t expected that he hadn’t come since she joined, and this was her first time seeing Li Zhiyan here.

“Mr. Li, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Liu Yeping also knew that Li Zhiyan was very picky.

Hu Mengke being able to join here.

Naturally, it wasn’t because of her strong professional ability.

So many graduates from prestigious schools were rejected; Mr. Li clearly chose her as his secretary because she was pretty and had a good figure.

At this time, it was better to let Mr. Li do as he pleased.

“Audi Miss, long time no see.”

Hu Mengke placed the tea in front of Li Zhiyan.

“Boss, please don’t call me Audi Miss anymore; I stopped selling Audis a long time ago.”

“You can call me Secretary Hu.”

Looking at the very alluring Hu Mengke, Li Zhiyan also felt his instincts awakening.

However, he still had things to do with Ji Zhiting tonight, so he shouldn’t think too much.

“I’ll still call you Audi Miss; I’m used to it.”

“Hu Mengke, how do you feel about working at the company?”

Hu Mengke also said somewhat helplessly, “I don’t even know what to do; I’m bored to death, it’s like I came here just to wait for you, Boss.”

Hu Mengke actually knew that the purpose of her as a black-stockinged secretary wasn’t precisely this.

“Then in the future, keep a closer eye on company matters, and if anything comes up, you can tell me on WeChat.”

Li Zhiyan also found something for Hu Mengke to do.

Hearing this, Hu Mengke also nodded very seriously.

“Boss…”

“Will you come to the company often in the future?”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and gave a definite answer.

“Probably. I also want to develop some businesses myself.”

His money would certainly be inexhaustible; in the future, doing some business investments would just be for entertainment and leisure.

“Then in the future, please let me know in advance when you come, and I will be prepared.”

“Oh, Boss, may I ask a personal question?”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

Hu Mengke was very cautious.

She was afraid that a wrong word would displease Li Zhiyan. Last time at the Ferrari 4S store,

her good friend said something about eating ice, and Li Zhiyan hadn’t paid any attention to her since.

It was clear that Li Zhiyan didn’t like overly casual girls.

“What, you want to be my girlfriend?”

Li Zhiyan asked jokingly.

“If you’re willing, of course I can, but I know you don’t like casual girls.”

Li Zhiyan smiled.

“For those who are normally married, I think it’s fine to have done some things, after all, that’s expected.”

“But I don’t like those who haven’t been married but eat ice all day long.”

Hu Mengke then realized the key point.

Her friend and her had similar values, both being very materialistic.

But her friend was much more casual than she was.

She had had several boyfriends and had even booked hotel rooms with male models.

No wonder Li Zhiyan didn’t like her.

“Then you can really consider me.”

“I think I’m very good-looking, and my figure is also very good.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Hu Mengke’s D36; it was indeed very impressive.

“And, most importantly, Boss, I’ve never dated.”

“My first kiss and everything are intact; I haven’t even held hands.”

Feeling Li Zhiyan’s gaze and some changes, Hu Mengke felt hopeful.

Indeed, the boss was a very normal man.

This was the behavior of a normal man.

“You’re about my age, haven’t held hands?”

Li Zhiyan was a bit doubtful.

Hu Mengke also didn’t hide anything about herself.

“That’s really true. To be honest with you, I’m a gold-digger.”

“I like money; I don’t even want to look at men who don’t have money.”

“So, over the years, I’ve rejected all the guys who pursued me.”

“Everything is still intact, absolutely clean.”

Hu Mengke played the card of sincerity, knowing that Li Zhiyan should be able to tell she was a gold-digger.

For a moment, Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned…

This… it was his first time seeing a woman say she was a gold-digger.

“You’re quite honest.”

“However, I have a girlfriend. We got together during the National Day holiday.”

Li Zhiyan decided to let Hu Mengke think for herself.

As a gold-digger, this shouldn’t be difficult.

Let her figure out what to do and what price she wanted.

If it was suitable, as a scoundrel, he wouldn’t mind.

Anyway, Hu Mengke was indeed beautiful enough.

Of course, today’s main task was to guide Ji Zhiting into a new world.

“Alright, I have something else to do, so I have to go first.”

He still had to cook for Ji Zhiting when he got home later.

So, there wasn’t much time left.

“I’ll see you off.”

Hu Mengke followed Li Zhiyan, feeling a bit disappointed.

She hadn’t expected to be a step late.

However, for a man like Li Zhiyan, wanting to be a woman he could bring out.

It seemed unrealistic, didn’t it? She knew the people around him and some who came to the company.

They were all extraordinary figures, not just simple businessmen.

Outside the company, she saw the rolls-royce parked at the entrance.

“You’ve switched to a rolls-royce.”

“This must cost ten million, right?”

Hu Mengke’s heart rate also accelerated; she had felt she couldn’t see through Li Zhiyan before.

He had changed to a rolls-royce so quickly; how much money did he really have?

She feared it was at least several billion.

“Alright, Secretary Hu, you can go back first; it’s a bit hot outside.”

“If anything comes up later, you can tell me directly.”

Hu Mengke extended both hands, made a heart gesture for Li Zhiyan, and then walked back into the company in her high heels.

She had many thoughts in her mind.

…

He arrived home.

Li Zhiyan bought some groceries to cook for Ji Zhiting.

On WeChat, Ji Zhiting mentioned a few dishes she wanted to eat.

Li Zhiyan already doted on her greatly, and since he had to do something important today,

he didn’t mind the trouble.

While cooking, Wu Yuexian’s video call came in.

After Li Zhiyan answered, he placed his phone somewhere to stand it up.

Then he continued cooking.

“Babe, did I wake up too fast today?”

“Babe is cooking?”

Li Zhiyan understood Wu Yuexian’s surprise; when he was with Wu Yuexian,

he was completely a big baby…

He basically never did anything.

Even his clothes, and even his underwear, were washed by Wu Yuexian for him.

“Xiao Ting is about to finish school; I’m cooking for her.”

“Oh, Li Yuexian, I have something to tell you.”

His relationship with Ji Zhiting couldn’t be a secret forever.

So, it was better to tell Wu Yuexian early so she could be mentally prepared.

“Li Yuexian, what are you saying? It’s Wu Yuexian, got it?”

“What do you want to say, Babe?”

Li Zhiyan paused and said, “Xiao Ting and I are together.”

On the other end of the video, Wu Yuexian felt her mind go blank.

The last time Li Zhiyan kissed her, she often thought about it.

She had stopped a mistake.

But now, hearing that Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting were together, her heart felt especially, especially sad.

“Oh…”

“That’s good. Ting is so young and beautiful.”

“She suits you very well.”

Wu Yuexian had seen many photos of Ji Zhiting when she was with Zhao Manman.

That girl was truly young, beautiful, and had a good figure, six years younger than her 24 years.

In this era, age truly had a huge advantage.

Li Zhiyan was so excellent; actually, being with Ji Zhiting truly felt like a very good match.

“Do you think it’s suitable?”

“Actually, I think we’re the suitable ones.”

“But when I expressed myself to you before, you weren’t willing.”

Wu Yuexian tapped the phone screen with her finger.

“You Hanhan, don’t talk about this matter anymore, understood?”

“In the future, let this matter rot completely in your stomach; don’t let anyone know, okay?”

“If Ting found out, she would definitely argue with you.”

Li Zhiyan was very touched; Wu Yuexian truly always thought of him at all times.

“So, Li Yuexian, are you used to living in the large flat?”

Wu Yuexian looked at the distant lake view and softly said, “I’m used to it.”

What struck Li Zhiyan as odd was that this time, Wu Yuexian didn’t argue with him about the Li-Wu issue.

He also knew that Wu Yuexian might truly like him.

But she could never take that step.

The woman he would have the hardest time getting in his life was probably Wu Yuexian.

And also…

“The environment here is good, and the house is very spacious.”

“I can also enjoy the breeze every day.”

“It’s so comfortable; Liu Xiaoyun envies me every day.”

“Alright, Babe, let’s not talk about this anymore. Your birthday is coming soon.”

“What gift do you want?”

Wu Yuexian tidied her long, wavy hair, which almost reached her waist.

She asked Li Zhiyan what he wanted.

“I want you.”

Wu Yuexian tapped the screen again.

“Li Zhiyan, be serious.”

“If you say that again, I’ll really hit you next time I see you.”

“Listen carefully, got it?”

Li Zhiyan said very seriously, “I am very serious, Li Yuexian.”

“What gift can I want? Just you coming is enough.”

“Didn’t you already give me a Mercedes-Benz C-Class last time?”

Wu Yuexian’s mood wasn’t very high.

“Then, Babe, I’ll prepare a gift for you myself.”

“But I don’t have much money this time, so the gift I give you might be ordinary.”

Li Zhiyan said warmly, “Then, just come; I’ll pick you up when the time comes.”

After the call ended, Li Zhiyan continued to stir-fry the dishes.

Meanwhile, in Wan City, Wu Yuexian…

Looking at the distant lake view, she had no mood to appreciate it at all.

“Xiao Yan, Xiao Ting…”

She remembered the photo of that girl on Zhao Manman’s phone.

She was so sweet, and at 18, her figure was quite impressive.

Young, radiant girls have a unique appeal.

Who wouldn’t like them…

And she herself was already 24.

Given Xiao Yan’s current conditions, he probably wouldn’t date someone as old as her.

This was actually good; anyway, it was impossible for them to be together.

Let him find a girlfriend early, and then he wouldn’t have so many strange thoughts about her anymore.

Of course, Wu Yuexian didn’t know.

Li Zhiyan didn’t care about age; he only liked beautiful women.

From 18 to 40, he could accept, as long as they were beautiful enough and had a good enough figure.

Everything else didn’t matter.

…

Ji Zhiting arrived outside the residential area.

She felt as if she was trembling.

After Li Zhiyan agreed to be her boyfriend,

Ji Zhiting had actually thought about such things many times, but theory was useless without practice.

Today, it was finally time for a practical lesson.

That terrifying…

Ji Zhiting didn’t dare to think, but she bravely returned home.

She entered the password, opened the door, and saw Li Zhiyan in the kitchen, finishing up.

“I’m home, baby.”

Ji Zhiting began to use a new way to address Li Zhiyan.

This made Li Zhiyan feel a bit unaccustomed.

This girl had truly grown up before his eyes.

Now she was calling him ‘baby,’ but since they were dating now,

there was nothing wrong with that address.

“Come, wash your hands and let’s eat.”

Li Zhiyan looked, and Ji Zhiting’s makeup today was indeed carefully done.

It was much more refined than when he saw her at noon.

She must have removed her makeup and reapplied it.

But no matter what, Ji Zhiting was always so beautiful.

“Mmm…”

Ji Zhiting, with a flushed face, ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.

She returned to the room and sat beside Li Zhiyan.

“Baby, I want to eat that.”

Looking at the shy Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan also picked up food for her.

He touched her bun.

“This bun, you can loosen it a bit, let your hair down, it’ll be easier to hold.”

Ji Zhiting hummed in agreement and tidied her hair.

Soon, the bun turned into a high ponytail.

Li Zhiyan tried to grab it; it was indeed very convenient.

Her hair volume could be said to be on par with Zhou Mengmeng’s.

However, Zhou Mengmeng’s hairstyle was the optimal solution for testing hair quality.

Feeding Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan’s heart was filled with anticipation.

As a married man, after such a long time without…

He really couldn’t bear it anymore.

And Ji Zhiting was already starting to tremble.

Everything that was about to happen was unknown to her.

Would it really happen?

After dinner, she ran to the bathroom, somewhat scared.

She began to brush her teeth.

“I’ll brush my teeth first…”

Her first kiss was definitely going to be gone next, so she had to prepare well.

Li Zhiyan also walked in and started rinsing his mouth and brushing his teeth.

Seeing the seemingly trembling Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan lovingly grabbed her high ponytail.

Just then, the lock on the door opened.

Li Zhiyan saw someone he didn't really want to see.

Ji Mengting was back.

"Meng Ting, why are you back?"

"We're divorced, isn't it inappropriate for you to just walk into my house?"

Ji Mengting looked at Ji Zhiting in the bathroom and the dishes on the table, and she realized that her mother was right.

Li Zhiyan was indeed very good to his family.

Even after the divorce, he still treated them as family.

"Li Zhiyan, can we talk?"

Ji Mengting asked, looking at Li Zhiyan who was brushing his teeth.

Ji Zhiting, who was brushing her teeth at the time, felt a pang of guilt, only brushing her teeth quietly, not daring to look back at Ji Mengting.

"Let's not, we have nothing to talk about, let bygones be bygones."

Li Zhiyan didn't know her thoughts, but even if she wanted to remarry him, he would never remarry.

He still preferred his current life; some things, once a path was opened, could never be returned from.

"Alright..."

Ji Mengting didn't expect Li Zhiyan to be so resolute; she was also a proud person, so she naturally wouldn't shamelessly insist on talking.

"Xiao Ting, let's go out, I'll take you to play."

"It's been a long time since I accompanied you shopping."

Ji Zhiting whispered, "Sister, you go first."

"I'm going to sleep soon, I'm very tired."

Ji Mengting saw that she didn't want to go and didn't force her.

"Then I'll go first."

She understood Li Zhiyan; essentially, Li Zhiyan was a very kind person.

So Ji Mengting wasn't worried that Li Zhiyan would do anything.

After the door closed, Ji Zhiting breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Li Zhiyan and Ji Mengting were divorced, she always felt a guilty conscience, like a thief.

After Li Zhiyan finished rinsing his mouth, he looked at Ji Zhiting, who seemed a little scared.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ting, are you scared?"

Ji Zhiting nodded gently.

However, in such a confined environment, the atmosphere became very ambiguous.

Li Zhiyan gently pulled Ji Zhiting out of the bathroom and into the hallway.

He gently embraced Ji Zhiting.

"Xiao Ting, when you have time, try to persuade Mom."

"Tell her to live in Yan City; Zhejiang is really not suitable for her anymore."

Embraced by Li Zhiyan, Ji Zhiting clearly felt Li Zhiyan's instantaneous change.

"Mm... I know, Baby."

Then, Li Zhiyan lowered his head and kissed Ji Zhiting's red lips.

This was Ji Zhiting's first kiss, so Li Zhiyan was very careful and gentle.

And outside the door, Ji Mengting still wanted to say something.

But she felt speechless, and for a moment, she stood blankly at the door.

After a long while, she finally turned and left.

...

First kiss, Ji Zhiting had no experience at all, and had never experienced such a thing.

So she just passively followed Li Zhiyan's lead.

After a long time, she slowly began to understand many things.

Li Zhiyan picked up Ji Zhiting in one swift motion.

Then he went to the master bedroom.

When he put Xiao Ting down and was about to continue, he was interrupted by Ji Zhiting.

"Wait... that, did you buy it?"

Li Zhiyan slapped his forehead; he really had forgotten that.

"You wait a moment, it'll only take a few minutes."

There were many convenience stores downstairs in the residential area, so this item could be bought anywhere.

After Li Zhiyan went downstairs, he went to a 365 convenience store.

He hastily grabbed a box of goods, and when he was about to pay.

He saw Ji Mengting coming over with a bottle of water.

Ji Mengting looked at the goods in Li Zhiyan's hand.

A pang of pain shot through her heart.

"Got a new girlfriend?"

She had thought that given Li Zhiyan's conditions, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find someone.

But what she never expected was that Li Zhiyan found a new girlfriend so quickly.

"Mm..."

"I have something to do, I'll go first."

Li Zhiyan didn't say much to Ji Mengting.

He opened the payment code, paid, and then went straight home.

Ji Mengting held the water...

She walked towards the outside of the residential area, feeling very upset.

After so many years of feelings, how could she not love Li Zhiyan?

But, everything couldn't go back; had she really made a mistake?

Her career was becoming more and more brilliant now, and she had also secured a large investment.

But Li Zhiyan seemed to be completely disappearing from her life.

All these years, he had always been so good to her, so good...

It couldn't go back.

...

Back home again, this time Li Zhiyan directly locked the door.

This could effectively prevent anyone from opening the door with a password and coming in.

Of course, he didn't lose his mood because of this small matter.

He was not a person who liked to wait; if he liked something, he had to do it quickly.

After returning to the master bedroom, he saw Ji Zhiting lying in the quilt, wrapped tightly.

Li Zhiyan went forward and pulled Ji Zhiting up to sit.

"Xiao Ting, are you shy?"

Ji Zhiting didn't dare to look at Li Zhiyan; after all, she was just an 18-year-old girl.

At this moment, she couldn't control her shyness at all.

Li Zhiyan gently put his arm around Ji Zhiting's waist.

Then he kissed Ji Zhiting again, and this time Ji Zhiting understood much more.

After a long time, when Li Zhiyan was about to continue.

Ji Zhiting seemed to have thought of something...

"Baby, let's go to my room, I don't want to be here."

Li Zhiyan looked at Ji Zhiting, whose face was flushed with a beautiful blush.

He gently picked up Ji Zhiting.

And walked towards the room next door.

This time, things went much smoother.

"That..."

"Let's not use it."

"We've never had it before."

Li Zhiyan knew that Ji Zhiting was deeply moved.

But in fact, this was very normal...

After all, it had never happened before, just like playing a game, adding a buff wasn't real damage anymore.

...

The next day.

When Li Zhiyan woke up, Ji Zhiting was still sound asleep.

A lot had indeed happened yesterday, and Li Zhiyan was tired.

Let alone Ji Zhiting?

"Everything has finally settled."

The distant morning sun had just risen, painting the white clouds with a touch of crimson.

The scenery of this morning sun was very beautiful.

Li Zhiyan also liked to appreciate such scenery.

It was truly beautiful, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Slowly, Ji Zhiting opened her eyes, and after rubbing them.

Yesterday's events also kept flooding into Ji Zhiting's heart.

While feeling happy, she also felt shy.

Looking at Li Zhiyan leaning against the headboard next to her, she gently moved closer.

And leaned on Li Zhiyan's shoulder.

Li Zhiyan gently stroked Ji Zhiting's already loose hair, full of doting affection.

...

And at this moment, Wu Yuexian also woke up.

She woke up very early; she had many dreams last night.

She always felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.

Li Zhiyan, did he really start dating Ji Zhiting?

They would definitely have to bear considerable pressure in the future.

However, this young girl was willing to bear these burdens.

Why couldn't she?

Forcing herself to shake off the thoughts, Wu Yuexian slowly calmed down.

They could, but she absolutely could not.

If she were with Li Zhiyan, the pressure she would bear would be many times greater than theirs.

For so many years, wasn't this the best way?

Why think about such impossible things? That night, Li Zhiyan's actions towards her were just a momentary impulse.

She should still prepare a gift for him.

"Why not knit him a sweater?"

"The weather is also getting colder, and he can wear it in a while."

Wu Yuexian had learned a lot about needlework from Li Ma.

Thinking of this, she immediately started shopping online for the necessary items, planning to knit a sweater for Li Zhiyan as a birthday gift.

...

"Get up."

"I'll prepare breakfast, and then we'll go look at houses."

After Li Zhiyan called out to Ji Zhiting.

Ji Zhiting looked at Li Zhiyan shyly.

"Baby, are you buying a house?"

"Mm, I'm buying more and more cars now, and parking here is too inconvenient, and many aspects of life are also inconvenient."

"I plan to buy a large flat in the city center to live in first."

Ji Zhiting's admiration also intensified.

Li Zhiyan was much more outstanding than she had imagined.

She had never clearly seen how capable he truly was.

"A large flat in the city center, Brother, that would be at least a hundred million, right?"

She knew how high housing prices were in the city center of Yan City now.

The price of ordinary commercial housing wasn't that exaggerated, but for a large flat, a luxury residence.

The price per square meter was often unimaginable.

And the prices of some super luxury homes were often hundreds of millions or even billions.

"About that, what I want to buy is a large flat around a hundred million."

"We'll take our time looking at houses, and buy one when you find one you like."

Hearing this, Ji Zhiting also actively kissed Li Zhiyan.

After a long while, the two sat down to eat breakfast together.

Li Zhiyan felt a little emotional; indeed...

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar; many things, after systematic learning, become much simpler.

"Eat more, replenish your energy; we'll go out to play later, and look at houses by the way."

Li Zhiyan also had a plan: this time, he would go to the city center to find someone to get him a few license plates.

It was too difficult to get an A-plate now.

Of course, for him now, it was as easy as pie.

"Mm... okay."

"Baby, I'll listen to you in everything from now on."

Ji Zhiting, with her hair in a bun, sat obediently beside Li Zhiyan and ate her meal.

She indeed needed to replenish her energy.

Li Zhiyan again touched Ji Zhiting's bun.

This girl was already very obedient to him.

Now she was even more compliant; it was truly his luck to meet Ji Zhiting in this life.

...

Zhejiang.

When Zhao Manman woke up, she felt a chill.

Actually, before, she had been thinking about whether to continue staying in Zhejiang.

But last night, she slept alone in the very empty villa.

She felt an unprecedented fear.

This villa was now so dark, so cold.

There was not a trace of a home's feeling.

She felt an emptiness and discomfort in her heart at all times.

She sat up...

Zhao Manman made herself a breakfast.

Coming downstairs, she remembered when Ji Yunhai had torn off his disguise.

At that time, her son had very firmly stood in front of her.

That sense of security was something she had truly never experienced in her life.

"It's time to go to Yan City..."

"Zhejiang no longer belongs to me."

She made a milk puff, tasted it, and it was truly delicious, an unprecedented feeling.

Before, she had really never tasted such sweetness.

She just accidentally ate one serving and remembered the taste.

Thinking of this, Zhao Manman dialed the real estate agent's number from yesterday.

"Hello."

"I've decided to sell this house."

"How long do you think it will take to sell it for me? As for the price, it can be lower, I don't really care about that."

She made up her mind to sell the property, and also sell some inconveniently managed companies and industries.

Then go to Yan City and live with her children.

This place had no relation to her anymore.

She planned to do some business she had experience with there, open a company, and start anew.

"If you really want to sell it, and the price is low, I can get it done for you within a week."

"But I suggest you list it higher; it will definitely sell in a year or two as well."

Zhao Manman replied, "Just sell it as soon as possible."

She didn't like this house now because it held many bad memories for her.

So she wanted to sell the house as quickly as possible.

This was equivalent to completely cutting ties with her past.

Moreover, she also needed cash to open a company in Yan City.

A year or two, she didn't want to wait at all.

Yan City, where her children were, was her true home.

"In that case, I can find a buyer for you very quickly."

"I'll get back to you if there's any news later."

Zhao Manman hummed and hung up the phone.

Then, she began to deal with her other properties.

Anything Ji Yunhai was responsible for operating, she directly sold.

And some companies that she managed herself and could be remotely managed, she planned to keep to provide her with continuous income.

It wasn't until the afternoon.

Zhao Manman listed all of Ji Yunhai's properties.

She intended to completely delete all memories of Ji Yunhai.

Even Ji Yunhai's cars were all listed by her on the used car trading market.

After doing all this...

Zhao Manman felt inexplicably lighter in her heart.

"From now on, I'll be in Yan City."

She firmed her resolve.

At this moment, Ji Zhiting sent a WeChat message.

Ji Zhiting: "Dear Mom, what are you doing?"

"I miss you, when are you coming to settle in Yan City?"
