Chapter 80: This Cannot Be Done, Stop It [10,000 Characters]
Zhao Manman looked at Li Zhiyan's expression.
A strange feeling also arose in her heart.
Some things...
Are indeed unavoidable.
Once they happen, there's no going back.
No turning back.
Everything can only move forward...
"Xiao Yan."
"Do you like..."
Zhao Manman knew she shouldn't ask too many questions.
However, in her heart,
Ji Mengting's happiness was still very important.
"Do you still like Meng Ting?"
She didn't notice that Ji Zhiting's expression next to her was very unnatural.
Jealousy began to surge in her heart; she and Li Zhiyan had only been together for a few days.
Although her sister and Li Zhiyan were divorced, they had five years of history together.
With such deep feelings, would Li Zhiyan's heart waver?
Was her relationship with him truly stable?
If he really wanted to get back with her sister,
Then she would quietly withdraw...
She wouldn't disturb his life; anyway, no one knew about her relationship with him.
"Forget it... Mom, what's past is past."
"I want to cherish my current life and don't want to return to how things were before."
Li Zhiyan looked at Ji Zhiting.
His eyes also held some deep affection.
He truly couldn't bear to part with Ji Zhiting.
So he had to cherish her...
Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, Ji Zhiting's heart gradually firmed up.
Zhao Manman felt a headache coming on; it seemed Li Zhiyan really didn't want to remarry.
After she arrived in Mo Du, she could only try her best.
Do what she could.
If he truly didn't want to...
Then this matter was settled. Although her daughter was irreplaceable in her heart,
The current Li Zhiyan was equally irreplaceable in her heart.
She had to treat them equally.
Otherwise, Li Zhiyan would also be sad.
"Mm..."
"You young people decide your own matters. We'll talk more when we get to Mo Du."
Although Zhao Manman still wanted to chat for a while,
The time was indeed a bit late now.
"Then, Mom, Xiao Ting, good night."
Ji Zhiting waved her hand and said, "Good night, Baobei."
After hanging up the video call, Zhao Manman kissed Ji Zhiting on the cheek.
"Baobei, how can you call Xiao Yan 'Baobei'?
He's older than you."
Ji Zhiting hugged Zhao Manman, reluctant to let go.
"Hehe, I'm just playing around."
After Zhao Manman lay down, she also leaned over, snuggling into her mother's embrace. It was very warm.
Then she called Zhao Manman Ji Mengting.
She wanted to ask what was going on.
Soon, Ji Mengting's pretty face appeared on the screen.
"Mom..."
Looking at the somewhat haggard Da Ting Bao, Zhao Manman felt a pang of heartache.
Clearly, her condition was not good right now...
"Ting Bao, are you missing Xiao Yan?"
Ji Mengting no longer pretended to be strong. After the impulse, she slowly regained her clarity.
She really missed Li Zhiyan...
But she had proactively sought him out, even worn black stockings for him, and actively asked not to use protection.
She wanted to reconcile with him, but he refused her.
"Mm... I went to find him today."
Watching Ji Zhiting lean against her mother's chest, Ji Mengting didn't shy away from talking about what happened today.
"I went to find him today, wanting to reconcile with him."
"But he didn't agree."
"He even kicked me out of the room; he has a new girlfriend now."
Hearing 'new girlfriend,' Ji Zhiting buried her head.
This new girlfriend was herself...
Zhao Manman, however, felt that this matter might not be true.
"Don't worry..."
"Actually, Xiao Yan probably doesn't have a girlfriend. Mom knows some things about this period."
"When you divorced him before, he must have harbored resentment."
"So this matter might... just be something Xiao Yan said out of anger."
Listening to Zhao Manman's words, Ji Mengting felt much better.
It seemed very possible indeed...
If she had been divorced, she would definitely hate him intensely.
Even if she didn't say it, it would be impossible to have no resentment in her heart at all.
"Mom..."
"You must help me with this. I know Li Zhiyan actually values you greatly."
She was also aware of what Li Zhiyan had done for Zhao Manman before.
Li Zhiyan respected Zhao Manman greatly.
"Mm... Of course, when we get to Mo Du, I'll find an opportunity. However, Mom can't interfere too much in your affairs."
"Ultimately, you still have to work hard yourself."
Chatting with Zhao Manman, Ji Mengting felt much better.
"Mom..."
"Thank you. I've thought it through now. I'll take it slow. Anyway, he and I have five years of history, which is an advantage over others."
"I will also manage the company well."
Looking at Da Ting Bao, whose emotions had stabilized considerably,
Zhao Manman finally felt relieved.
"It's so late, Da Ting Bao, go to sleep."
"Mm... Good night, Mom."
After hanging up the video, Ji Zhiting quietly asked, "Mom, are you really going to help my sister and him get back together?"
"You girl... Of course."
"Do you want your sister to become an old maid later? She likes Xiao Yan so much, Mom definitely has to help her win him back."
Ji Zhiting lay down, closed her eyes, and said nothing.
Zhao Manman didn't notice Ji Zhiting's displeasure.
She also turned off the bedside lamp and fell asleep.
...
And at this time,
Li Zhiyan had returned to the past again.
At the internet cafe, after he sent a QQ message to Xiao Li,
Xiao Li quickly arrived.
"Brother Li, whose connections are we going to build this time?"
During this period, Li Zhiyan wasn't that concerned about making money.
His main focus was on building his connections.
"Let's check the market first and make some money."
"Then we'll go to Yan City and get everything done in one go."
Xiao Li felt a slight excitement in his heart.
"My connections here can also be used now. Some people have started to rise after getting our information."
"Basically, all matters can be settled in our local area."
"I think in a few years, I won't have any worries here either."
Li Zhiyan continuously looked at the futures information.
Finally, he found a relatively good market trend.
"This time, let's break through two hundred million in assets."
Xiao Li was also full of anticipation beside him.
After finishing the futures business, the two started playing games.
"By the way, Brother Li, my reputation in the futures industry can be said to be resounding now."
"Many people think I'm the 'God of Futures,' similar to the 'God of Stocks' title."
"Many wealthy individuals want to meet me."
"Should I get in touch with them?"
Li Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, "It's fine to meet them, but don't cooperate with them or you might get scammed."
"I see that the connections here are growing very quickly after getting our information. Through these channels and our financial resources, continuously expanding our network is still the most important thing at present."
After playing games with Xiao Li for a while,
The two continued to work on developing important figures for their network.
...
When Li Zhiyan woke up,
It was already past ten o'clock...
"It's Sunday..."
"I can go play with Zhou Mengmeng."
Thinking of that adorable little girl...
Li Zhiyan felt a tickle in his heart.
After checking WeChat, Li Zhiyan saw the message Hu Mengke had sent him.
Hu Mengke: "Boss, are you coming to inspect the company today?"
And there was also a message from Ji Zhiting.
Ji Zhiting: "Baobei, I'm going back today."
"I'll arrive around seven in the evening. I want to spend more time with Mom."
"The task you gave me, to get Mom to Mo Du, I've already completed."
"Can I visit your company today?"
Ji Zhiting had always been curious about Li Zhiyan's company...
Li Zhiyan: "Okay, I'll take you to the company then."
"Today, I'll ask the company staff to work a bit later and give them some overtime pay."
Ji Zhiting: "Okay, Baobei, I miss you."
While messaging Li Zhiyan, Ji Zhiting occasionally glanced at Zhao Manman.
Afraid her little secret would be discovered.
If her mother found out, Ji Zhiting could hardly imagine the consequences now.
Especially since she was currently at a low point.
"Mom, your lovely daughter is going back to Mo Du this afternoon. I'll miss you."
Zhao Manman knew that Ji Zhiting's schooling was important...
After Ji Zhiting left, only she would be left at home.
However, thankfully, she wouldn't need much time this time.
She would be able to see Li Zhiyan again soon.
"Mom will prepare lunch for you. What do you want to eat?"
Ji Zhiting didn't stand on ceremony and mentioned some of Zhao Manman's signature dishes.
"Mom, your cooking is so delicious."
"And you're so beautiful, and your legs are so beautiful."
"Black stockings and beautiful legs, that scumbag doesn't cherish you, but someone definitely will."
Hearing Ji Zhiting suddenly say that,
Zhao Manman felt a strange sensation, remembering...
"Mom doesn't need anyone to cherish her. In the future, you kids just need to cherish Mom, that's enough."
...
In the afternoon...
Zhou Lili also went to the school.
Today was the company's team-building day...
At the new company, she had a very good relationship with her colleagues.
And recently, her supervisor's pursuit of her had become increasingly frequent.
There was a sense that he was determined to win her over.
A young man driving a BMW 7 Series was already very outstanding.
However, no matter what, she just didn't feel a flutter in her heart.
Although this supervisor was indeed quite handsome...
If it were before, with such conditions, she would definitely consider it seriously.
But Li Zhiyan's appearance lingered in her heart, never fading.
That calm and composed demeanor always appeared in her mind.
Making her feel that Li Zhiyan's true strength was far beyond what she had seen.
"Sister, why are you here?"
In the dormitory, Zhou Mengmeng was very surprised.
Zhou Lili didn't really care much about her, although it was much more than their parents did.
"I came to see you. Hello, everyone, I'm Zhou Mengmeng's older sister."
Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen also politely greeted her.
Then they went about their own business.
These women weren't like Li Zhiyan, who had a connection with them.
"Sister..."
Zhou Mengmeng was dressed beautifully today, wearing a short skirt that covered half of her thighs.
And she had applied light makeup; she was completely different from the sister in her memory...
"You put on makeup? Do you have a date today?"
Zhou Mengmeng nodded gently.
Although she didn't want to meet Li Zhiyan again in her heart, his birthday was approaching.
If she wasn't even willing to accompany him for a bit,
He would probably be very sad, right?
No matter what, he was still her good friend.
"Is it that person?"
Zhou Mengmeng stood up and pulled Zhou Lili, walking outside.
"Sister..."
After leaving the dormitory building, Zhou Mengmeng still felt uncontrollably shy talking about this matter.
"Mengmeng, is it that man?"
"Mm... yes, he asked me out today."
Seeing Zhou Mengmeng's shy expression, Zhou Lili knew that her sister was probably falling for him.
Although she didn't know the specifics,
This person definitely meant something different to her.
Her sister had always been relatively introverted and shy.
Zhou Lili knew that many boys had pursued her before.
But Zhou Mengmeng had never given them a chance to get close.
This person being able to make her sister like this was indeed quite impressive.
"Then you go, but I want to meet him, to see what he's like."
Zhou Lili was very clear...
Her sister was incredibly innocent, and if she were deceived, the outcome would truly be tragic.
Although she had always cared little for her sister,
She still had to keep a close eye on this kind of thing.
"You want to come along...? No..."
Zhou Mengmeng thought of her sister meeting Li Zhiyan, and she felt a sense of social anxiety.
This was a bit like meeting the parents.
Moreover, she and Li Zhiyan couldn't possibly be together.
Her sister's refusal didn't surprise Zhou Lili at all.
"I won't stay with you."
"Our company's team building is over there today."
"You bring him to my place."
"I'll just secretly watch from a distance."
“Sister doesn’t want you to be hurt in any way. I owed you a lot before, and from now on, I want to protect you well.”
Zhou Mengmeng’s eyes were a little moist.
She also actively hugged Zhou Lili.
However, she was going to break up with Li Zhiyan.
She decided not to tell her sister yet.
Soon, Li Zhiyan’s WeChat message came through.
Hearing the WeChat notification, Zhou Mengmeng immediately knew it was a message from Li Zhiyan.
She had fewer than ten contacts on her WeChat.
Her mother, her sister, her three roommates.
And a few good female classmates from high school.
And then there was Li Zhiyan…
Except for Li Zhiyan, others rarely sent her messages.
Zhou Lili wanted to see, but Zhou Mengmeng looked at her very guardedly.
It seemed she was very afraid that Zhou Lili would see something.
This made Zhou Lili feel helpless too.
She really kept this person well hidden, afraid that she would discover him.
“Well, I’ll go first. My colleagues are still waiting for me.”
“If anything happens, you must tell your sister. Don’t hide anything.”
…
After Zhou Lili walked far away, Zhou Mengmeng felt relieved enough to unlock her phone.
Li Zhiyan: “Mengmeng, are you ready? I’m coming to pick you up.”
Zhou Mengmeng: “Mm… you can come to the school.”
Li Zhiyan quickly drove out in his ferrari 488.
Recently, he hadn’t driven a sports car for a long time.
On the road, the head-turning rate was still off the charts.
Upon arriving at Cai University’s entrance, Li Zhiyan sent Zhou Mengmeng a WeChat message.
Soon, Zhou Mengmeng came to the entrance. Today, she wasn’t dressed conservatively.
Instead, she wore a dress. She always remembered what Liu Xiaoyan had said.
Dresses were only worn for dates with someone you liked.
She really, really liked Li Zhiyan.
“Mengmeng, get in the car.”
After Zhou Mengmeng got into the passenger seat, Li Zhiyan helped her fasten her seatbelt.
This close proximity made Zhou Mengmeng’s heart beat slightly faster.
“Um…”
“This is my birthday gift for you.”
Zhou Mengmeng took out her bag.
Only then did Li Zhiyan notice that it seemed to be the first time Zhou Mengmeng carried such a women’s bag.
Although it was a cheap one, she really put a lot of effort into it for him.
“This razor…”
“Happy Birthday.”
Li Zhiyan took a look. This razor was quite high-end, probably around a thousand yuan.
Given Zhou Mengmeng’s situation, it was truly not easy for her to give him such a gift.
“Then I’ll accept it.”
Li Zhiyan didn’t refuse. He pinched Zhou Mengmeng’s face and put the razor away.
The deeper his bond with Zhou Mengmeng, the closer she would slowly become to him.
Although he was a scoundrel, Li Zhiyan truly couldn’t bear to let Xiao Mengmeng go.
He started the car and headed directly to Huaxi Garden, planning to take Zhou Mengmeng to see the flowers.
Many flowers were still in full bloom at Huaxi Garden.
So there were still quite a few tourists.
After Li Zhiyan parked the car, he led Zhou Mengmeng into Huaxi Garden.
Walking beside Li Zhiyan, Zhou Mengmeng truly had a misconception.
That she was Li Zhiyan’s girlfriend.
His only girlfriend. How happy she would be then.
Looking at the still shy Zhou Mengmeng walking beside him, Li Zhiyan took her hand.
Zhou Mengmeng wanted to refuse, but then she thought that this was her accompanying Li Zhiyan for his birthday.
So she complied with Li Zhiyan.
Holding hands, they strolled through Huaxi Garden.
Li Zhiyan softly said, “Mengmeng, are you really not going to reconsider our relationship?”
Although Zhou Mengmeng’s heart ached, this time.
She became firm.
“No…”
As she said this, Zhou Mengmeng felt as if steel needles were pricking her heart.
However, she couldn’t accept that kind of relationship.
Li Zhiyan could feel Zhou Mengmeng’s struggle.
He could only take it slow with her.
He knew very well that Zhou Mengmeng truly loved him to death in her heart.
“Then let’s talk about it later.”
Holding Zhou Mengmeng’s hand, Li Zhiyan didn’t answer directly.
If some words were said definitively, there would truly be no chance.
Anyway, he couldn’t let this girl go.
Hearing Li Zhiyan’s words, Zhou Mengmeng inexplicably felt a sense of relief deep in her heart.
“Look, the flowers here are nice.”
“Let’s go over there and stay for a while.”
Zhou Mengmeng looked over and softly hummed in agreement.
…
At this moment, Zhou Lili was chatting with her colleagues.
And the executive named Pei Mengyang was in high spirits.
This team-building event was organized by him.
Although up until now, Zhou Lili hadn’t shown any signs of liking him.
However, with his rich dating experience…
He was particularly confident about winning over Zhou Lili!
He drove a BMW 7 Series and owned a house in the suburbs of Magic City.
His annual salary was over 400,000 yuan.
Such conditions were definitely very rare.
And knowing that Zhou Lili was going to see her sister, in order to make sure Zhou Lili wasn’t rushed for the team building, he deliberately chose the location of today’s team building near the school.
“Lili, how about we go for a walk by the Bund after dinner tonight?”
The other colleagues also very consciously started acting as wingmen.
It was much easier to get by in the company after currying favor with Pei Mengyang.
“Yes, Lili, go for a walk with the supervisor tonight. You’re a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.”
Hearing the persuasion from her female colleagues around her.
Zhou Lili politely said, “Supervisor, I really have something to do. My sister seems to be dating recently, and I need to keep an eye on her.”
“So I really don’t have time.”
Zhou Lili also felt a little strange in her heart.
Pei Mengyang’s looks were considered handsome, although there was a gap compared to Li Zhiyan.
However, his income and character were both very good.
According to her previous standards, she really should have considered him.
Marrying him, she could settle down in Magic City…
But in her heart, Li Zhiyan’s image would appear from time to time.
Perhaps, it was Li Zhiyan’s sudden appearance that day that brought her too much astonishment…
“Alright, but it’s okay. We can have a good chat during dinner tonight.”
“I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about.”
Zhou Lili still wasn’t interested. Li Zhiyan’s conditions were, at most, on par with Pei Mengyang’s…
But why did she always feel that Li Zhiyan and he were not on the same level?
Looking around, Zhou Lili suddenly saw someone.
Zhou Mengmeng…
Her sister.
That dress was still quite recognizable.
“This time it’s really a coincidence, but in this area, the only suitable place to play this season is here, so it’s understandable.”
She looked intently.
There was a young man beside her.
This made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Mengmeng said he was a rich person, so Zhou Lili had thought of many things.
Could he be a middle-aged man?
It seemed very possible…
After all, her sister was too starved for affection and could easily develop feelings for someone older than her.
Why did this person look so familiar…
But from such a distance, she still couldn’t see clearly.
“Um, I’ll go for a walk.”
After Zhou Lili told her colleagues, she quietly walked towards where the two were sitting.
…
Sitting on the grass with Zhou Mengmeng.
Li Zhiyan grabbed Zhou Mengmeng’s twin ponytails. Actually, in such a situation.
He had also thought about it.
But the scenes he imagined were more domestic.
Such as the bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc.
More full of life.
With a slight pull, Zhou Mengmeng, disappointingly, leaned against Li Zhiyan’s chest.
Although she knew she shouldn’t be like this, she liked Li Zhiyan too much in her heart.
Including the last time Li Zhiyan kissed her, she actually couldn’t control herself and actively responded.
Her heart couldn’t accept some things.
But her body, uncontrollably, was honest.
And not far away, Zhou Lili quietly walked over.
She wanted to see what kind of person her sister’s boyfriend was.
“Li Zhiyan…”
Zhou Lili’s voice instantly tensed Zhou Mengmeng’s nerves.
She didn’t want her sister to know about her and Li Zhiyan.
But she didn’t expect to be caught.
“Zhou Lili.”
Li Zhiyan released Zhou Mengmeng and stood up.
After their eyes met, both of them were a little stunned.
Li Zhiyan had almost forgotten about his first love recently.
After his life underwent drastic changes, many beautiful women frequently appeared in his life.
Making him basically unable to recall that Zhou Lili was in Magic City.
He didn’t expect to run into her under such circumstances.
“Li Zhiyan…”
“The person Mengmeng mentioned, it’s you.”
Zhou Lili’s body trembled slightly…
Her face was a little pale. She never dreamed that he would be with her sister.
He refused her before, was it because he had his eyes on her sister?
He was five years older than her sister.
And he used to pursue her, and now he was with her sister, such a morally reprehensible thing.
Why could he do it…
She should make him stop quickly.
“How are you with my sister? Was it intentional?”
Zhou Lili thought of many possibilities…
Perhaps, he was just with her sister to get revenge on her.
Her sister was only 18, and he could still lay his hands on her…
“No, sis, it’s not like that.”
“My sister and I are classmates. We met when school started.”
“Don’t blame him, I’m the one who likes him.”
Zhou Mengmeng was not good with words and usually couldn’t speak up.
But to protect Li Zhiyan, she still tried hard to explain.
Zhou Lili also sobered up.
Yes, what did Li Zhiyan do wrong? He had nothing to do with her.
Being with her sister was also open and above board.
What right did she have to criticize him…
Why was she so concerned about Li Zhiyan?
She couldn’t forget him, even though Pei Mengyang, not far away, was much more outstanding than Li Zhiyan.
Yet she couldn’t even look at him.
At this moment, Pei Mengyang also walked over.
He had felt that the situation was not right earlier and wanted to come over to see if there was any opportunity to get closer to Zhou Lili.
“Lili, who are these two?”
“This is my sister, and my classmate.”
Pei Mengyang also glanced at Zhou Mengmeng. He felt in his heart that this girl was truly much prettier than Zhou Lili.
She could be described as naturally beautiful.
“Hello, I’m Lili’s supervisor.”
Li Zhiyan greeted Pei Mengyang.
Zhou Mengmeng timidly came over and held Li Zhiyan’s arm.
She didn’t speak to Pei Mengyang. Her social anxiety had flared up again.
She wanted to leave this place…
Zhou Mengmeng and Li Zhiyan’s intimate appearance made Pei Mengyang feel an uncontrollable jealousy.
Those born after 2005 had only recently become adults, truly very tender…
“Alright, Lili, we’re leaving first.”
Li Zhiyan could tell that Zhou Mengmeng wanted to leave.
For this socially anxious little girl, Li Zhiyan didn’t want her to stay in such an environment.
Zhou Lili awkwardly hummed in response.
She really wanted to interfere in this matter, but she had no standing to do so.
She should have a good talk with her sister.
After Li Zhiyan had walked some distance.
Zhou Lili followed again, intending to keep Zhou Mengmeng.
She felt that Li Zhiyan shouldn’t harm her sister; she was still young and lacked discernment.
Pei Mengyang followed beside her.
“Actually, you don’t want your sister to be with this person, do you? She’s just too young, has seen too little, which is why she falls in love so easily.”
“I can accompany you to take her to see more of the world.”
“Buy some high-end clothes and cosmetics.”
“Slowly, she will realize that this person is just an ordinary person.”
Pei Mengyang’s voice carried a hint of pride.
Indeed…
Most people, in his eyes, were just ordinary.
Zhou Lili felt a bit powerless. She didn’t know what to do.
She felt that she probably liked Li Zhiyan, but now Li Zhiyan was with her sister.
“He’s not inferior to you at all.”
Zhou Lili’s words instantly put Pei Mengyang on high alert.
The two arrived outside Huaxi Garden.
They saw Li Zhiyan taking Zhou Mengmeng into a ferrari 488.
As the car started, the roaring sound of the engine filled the air.
In an instant, Pei Mengyang completely deflated.
No wonder Li Zhiyan could date someone born after '95, while Zhou Lili still hadn't responded to his own pursuit.
Looking at the BMW 7 Series parked not far away, he felt as if his own car was junk.
Zhou Lili watched the Ferrari drive out of the parking space, feeling a bit unreal...
At the last gathering, Li Zhiyan's car was a luxury vehicle worth a million yuan.
Now, he was actually driving a ferrari 488.
His capabilities were not at all what she had imagined; he had truly far surpassed the realm of ordinary people.
Looking at the profile of her younger sister sitting in the passenger seat,
Zhou Lili felt as if something important had been snatched away from her.
She felt incredibly upset inside.
It wasn't until the Ferrari had driven far away that she slowly came back to her senses.
"I'm sorry, Supervisor Pei."
"I don't feel well, so I'm leaving first."
With that, she left on her own.
She had once rejected him, but now he was with her sister.
She had lost completely...
Pei Mengyang felt a deep sense of inferiority.
Compared to ordinary people, he could still be considered successful.
But compared to Li Zhiyan, he was just an ordinary person.
No wonder Zhou Lili completely looked down on him.
Compared to someone driving a brand new Ferrari, he was indeed unremarkable.
...
After dinner, Li Zhiyan dropped Zhou Mengmeng back at Cai University.
As they parted, Zhou Mengmeng quietly asked, "Did you and my sister have some kind of history?"
Although she was introverted, her perception of emotions was quite clear.
She could tell that Li Zhiyan and her sister seemed to have had some kind of story.
"I pursued your sister, but she didn't agree."
Li Zhiyan had long since let go of the past.
Running into Zhou Lili today was purely by chance.
"I understand. I'll head back now."
Zhou Mengmeng turned to leave, but Li Zhiyan held her hand.
Looking into Li Zhiyan's eyes...
Zhou Mengmeng seemed to realize something.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zhou Mengmeng voluntarily stood on her tiptoes.
She kissed Li Zhiyan, which surprised him greatly this time.
This girl had taken the initiative for once. Had her heart softened?
Li Zhiyan responded, his arm wrapping around Zhou Mengmeng's waist.
Her waist was truly very, very slender.
After a while, Zhou Mengmeng ran off, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She had originally intended to completely break up with Li Zhiyan today and never see him again.
However, she simply couldn't bring herself to make that decision.
...
It was already half past six. Calculating the time, Ji Zhiting should be arriving in Magic City soon.
Ji Zhiting wanted to visit his company, and Li Zhiyan naturally wanted to fulfill her wish.
He directly took the rolls-royce to the high-speed rail station to pick up Ji Zhiting.
When Ji Zhiting stepped out of the high-speed rail station,
She quickly threw herself into Li Zhiyan's arms.
"Darling, did you miss me...?"
Ji Zhiting remembered the matter of getting milk.
Her heart was also filled with anticipation for the evening.
When some things haven't been experienced, there aren't that many thoughts.
But once experienced...
One can't control oneself.
Ji Zhiting was in this state now.
"It doesn't hurt now, does it?"
Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting walked out, their fingers intertwined.
"It doesn't hurt anymore... We can continue tonight."
Li Zhiyan naturally reacted.
"Darling, are we going to the company now?"
"Yes, if you want to go, I'll definitely take you. Today, I'll have them work a little later."
After getting in the car, Ji Zhiting still squeezed onto the same seat as Li Zhiyan.
Feeling the warmth of Li Zhiyan's body, she felt incredibly sweet.
...
Dormitory.
Zhou Mengmeng sent a message to Zhou Lili to explain about Li Zhiyan.
She told Zhou Lili that it was actually impossible for her and Li Zhiyan to be together.
However, all the messages she sent to Zhou Lili were like stones sinking into the sea.
There was no response whatsoever...
This made Zhou Mengmeng feel incredibly upset. Her sister had just started caring for her.
But it seemed she was about to lose her.
This made Zhou Mengmeng very sad.
Could it be that she would never receive love from others?
She kept calling Zhou Lili, but on the other end, there was still no response.
...
After arriving at Zhiyan Investment Company,
Li Zhiyan took Ji Zhiting on a tour of some of the company's departments.
Ji Zhiting's admiration for Li Zhiyan was also constantly deepening.
Only he could have built the company to this extent in such a short period of time!
Upon arriving at Li Zhiyan's office,
Ji Zhiting met Hu Mengke, who was there to greet them.
She hadn't expected Li Zhiyan's secretary to be so beautiful.
She could easily pull off black stockings paired with Valentino.
What a beautiful mature woman...
However, what she was wearing was truly identical to her own mother's attire.
If she didn't look at the face, Ji Zhiting would have thought she recognized the wrong person.
"Boss, this must be your girlfriend."
"So beautiful..."
She was very envious of Ji Zhiting, and as for herself, even if something happened between her and Li Zhiyan, she could only ever remain a transparent person.
"Yes... I came to see my darling's company today."
After touring for a while, Li Zhiyan finally took her home.
Upon arriving home, Ji Zhiting said with a hint of jealousy, "Darling, your secretary is so beautiful. Those beautiful legs and Valentino, exactly like our mom's."
"She's truly a great beauty."
Li Zhiyan didn't answer the question.
The more he explained such questions, the more jealous she would become.
Instead, he started pulling Ji Zhiting's bun.
"Xiao Ting, let your bun down. I want a high ponytail."
Ji Zhiting's pretty face flushed, and her previous thoughts completely vanished.
"Mmm..."
"Then pull my hair gently."
...
Time passed quickly.
After the futures profits were credited, Li Zhiyan's deposits successfully exceeded two hundred million.
After showing Ji Zhiting several properties, he finally bought an eight-hundred-million-plus large flat in the city center.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Li Zhiyan's birthday.
"It's almost my birthday."
"I can't believe I'm already 24 so quickly."
The living environment of the large flat was much better than the previous residential area.
It also had plenty of parking spaces, so his three cars could easily be parked.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Li Zhiyan looked at the distant scenery.
He felt a slight sense of emotion in his heart. Now he also had his own home in the city center.
For his past self, it was something he wouldn't even dare to imagine.
But now, these things were easily achievable for him.
"Wu Yuexian should be arriving soon, and Mom...?"
As Li Zhiyan was thinking,
Wu Yuexian sent a WeChat video call.
Li Zhiyan missed Wu Yuexian very much. After connecting, he heard Wu Yuexian's voice.
"Babe, I'll arrive tomorrow."
"The company still has some things today, so I'm not free."
"I will definitely be there tomorrow."
"I will never miss my Babe's birthday, no matter what."
Li Zhiyan leaned back on the sofa.
His heart felt increasingly nostalgic. Every year, for his birthday, only this woman had never been absent.
"I miss you, Li Yuexian. Come quickly..."
"I'll pick you up."
Hearing Li Zhiyan say he missed her, Wu Yuexian felt as if her heart was melting.
"Alright, Babe, you wait there obediently."
"Big sister will definitely arrive."
"Oh, by the way, Babe, the place you're in doesn't seem to be at home."
"Where are you?"
Li Zhiyan showed Wu Yuexian the surrounding environment.
"You'll know when you get here."
Wu Yuexian's heart also became very curious.
This looks like a large flat...
Having lived in a large flat in Wan City for a period, she was also very familiar with the environment of large flats.
No way...
Li Zhiyan can afford a large flat in Magic City?
Even phone scams aren't that ruthless.
"You're still playing coy with your sister, you little rascal."
"I'll see when I get there."
"I still have things to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After speaking, Wu Yuexian hung up the video call.
At this moment, she was still knitting a sweater. She was knitting this sweater very meticulously.
She had changed the design many times, and the final product was almost ready, so she was rushing to finish it.
And during this time, regarding Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting dating,
She had also come to terms with it. Most of the time, she was very clear-headed...
She clearly understood that her fate with Li Zhiyan was not in that aspect.
As long as he could live a good life.
As long as she could see him happy, that was enough.
Other things didn't matter to her. What she had to do was work hard, protect the assets he gave her, and if one day he fell, she would be his strongest backing.
Looking at the tireless Wu Yuexian,
Liu Xiaoyun also came over.
"Xianxian, you're still knitting a sweater? It seems like you have a lot of work these past few days. Have you finished it all?"
Wu Yuexian pointed at her computer.
"Mmm..."
"I've finished it all."
In the past, to earn more money for Li Zhiyan's sake,
Wu Yuexian really often worked overtime. Now, her work efficiency was also very high.
That's why she had time to knit a sweater for Li Zhiyan.
"You're going to Magic City tomorrow, aren't you?"
Wu Yuexian said seriously, "Mmm..."
"It's very cold at night now. I'll prepare it for Xiao Yan early so he won't be cold."
"Li Zhiyan is so rich, he probably doesn't lack a sweater from you."
Wu Yuexian stroked the sweater she had knitted.
"You don't understand... This sweater has big sister's love, it's very warm. In games, this is called a buff!"
As she spoke, Wu Yuexian also had a look of happiness on her face.
She knew that when Li Zhiyan wore her sweater, he would feel very warm inside.
"Alright, I'm really envious of you now. I should be nicer to my younger brother too in the future. Maybe he'll also rise from obscurity one day..."
Chatting idly, Liu Xiaoyun went back to her work.
Wu Yuexian knitted the sweater without stopping for a second, her mind completely on the trip to Magic City.
This time, she wanted to stay in Magic City for a few days.
To take care of Li Zhiyan's life, and then see how he and Ji Zhiting were doing.
...
"I miss them so much..."
After experiencing many things, Li Zhiyan felt an extraordinary longing for the people he truly needed to cherish.
Wu Yuexian was one of the people he must cherish, and also someone he could never be separated from in this life.
Anyone could leave him, but only Wu Yuexian could not. This woman would always be by his side.
Then, he opened the WeChat message Zhao Manman had sent him.
"Xiao Yan."
"Mom is already preparing to depart."
"*chuckles* (emoji)."
Along with it was a photo of a high-speed rail ticket.
Li Zhiyan looked at the time; it would probably be about an hour and a half until she arrived.
Li Zhiyan: "Mom, I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station. You wait."
Zhao Manman replied instantly.
Zhao Manman: "Mmm mmm... Darling, don't rush."
"Drive safely."
Li Zhiyan felt a warmth in his heart. It was the first time Zhao Manman had called him "darling."
In her heart, she was truly treating him more and more like her own son.
Li Zhiyan: "Got it, Mom..."
"I'm leaving now."
After contacting Old Sun, Li Zhiyan went directly down to the basement floor by elevator.
Old Sun was already waiting for him there.
"To the high-speed rail station."
Sitting in the back seat of the rolls-royce, Li Zhiyan set off for the high-speed rail station to pick up Zhao Manman.
