83: Meng Ting regretted it! Dazzling Li Zhiyan [10,000 words]

Chapter 83: Meng Ting Regrets! Dazzling Li Zhiyan [10,000 Characters]

Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, Zhao Manman felt a strange sensation.

Li Zhiyan wanted to get completely drunk on his birthday.

But since it was his birthday, she naturally had to agree to his birthday wish.

“Mom, don’t you usually not drink alcohol?”

Li Zhiyan had indeed rarely seen Zhao Manman drink.

Except for the last time, when she found out about Ji Yunhai.

She had indeed drunk a lot of alcohol.

Other than that, Li Zhiyan really had no impression.

“I usually don’t drink, but this is a special occasion, your birthday.”

“How could Mom not grant your wish?”

Li Zhiyan felt a warmth in his heart.

Zhao Manman was truly different towards him now.

“Then tomorrow, I really have to have a good drink with you.”

“Mom, you just arrived here, let me show you around the neighborhood.”

With that, Li Zhiyan stood up, intending to take Zhao Manman out for a walk.

“Mm.”

Zhao Manman indeed needed to familiarize herself with everything here.

She planned to buy a slightly larger apartment nearby.

So she could visit Li Zhiyan often in the future.

Of course, she hadn't thought of buying a luxury home like Li Zhiyan's.

She simply couldn't afford a large flat like this.

“Should we call Xiao Ting?”

After leaving the door.

Zhao Manman looked at Ji Zhiting's room and asked.

“No need, Mom, it’s hard for us mother and son to reunite, today is mother-son time.”

“Besides, Xiao Ting is very busy today.”

“But it might be a bit chilly tonight, I’ll bring you a jacket.”

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Manman didn't ask any further.

She followed Li Zhiyan to the door and put on her Valentino shoes.

Then she walked out with Li Zhiyan.

After leaving the complex, Zhao Manman carefully surveyed many things nearby.

“Mom, you can come here for shopping normally.”

The mother and son walked on the street, Li Zhiyan pointing to the bustling commercial street.

The cost of living here was much higher than in Wan City or the suburbs of the Magic City.

It was even difficult for ordinary people to maintain their daily lives here.

“Mm, dear, Mom understands.”

“When I was in Zhejiang before, because the house was in the suburbs, sometimes I had to drive when I needed to buy things.”

“Thinking about it, it was a bit inconvenient.”

Li Zhiyan didn't want Zhao Manman to think about Zhejiang anymore.

He said softly, “Mom, let's talk less about Zhejiang in the future.”

“That’s a bad past for you.”

“I also especially dislike that person.”

Zhao Manman knew that Li Zhiyan was feeling sorry for her.

And he indeed disliked Ji Yunhai.

“Mom understands, I won’t talk about that person again.”

“Don’t worry, dear.”

Strolling casually with Li Zhiyan.

Zhao Manman couldn't help but think about Ji Mengting.

She was very clear…

Ji Mengting was now completely regretful in her heart, and she didn't know Li Zhiyan's current financial situation either.

This showed that Da Ting Bao truly liked Li Zhiyan in her heart.

But could the two of them go back?

After more than half an hour, Zhao Manman was also tired from walking.

However, the weather was much cooler at night, so she didn't get drenched in sweat like before.

Instead, the weather was a bit cold.

Li Zhiyan asked, “Mom, do you feel cold?”

“A little.”

Li Zhiyan took out the jacket he had prepared and handed it to Zhao Manman.

After putting it on, the chill completely dissipated.

She pulled the zipper up, but very quickly, the zipper slid down, stretched open.

After several attempts, Zhao Manman had no choice but to give up.

“Mom, the quality of this clothes isn't good, I’ll buy you a few new jackets later.”

“You must be tired too, let’s go back, you can also get a good rest.”

“Slowly adapt to the environment here in the future, this will be your home from now on.”

Li Zhiyan said, noticing Zhao Manman walking somewhat unnaturally.

Indeed, wearing high heels, walking for too long would make her feet hurt.

He hadn't thought that much today.

“Mom, are your feet hurting again?”

Zhao Manman recalled past events, and she didn't deny it.

“Mm… Actually, I should have changed into flat shoes today.”

But Li Zhiyan didn't think Zhao Manman would wear flat shoes.

She was truly fond of high heels; even if she didn't wear Valentino, she would wear other high heels.

Unless she was driving, she would change into flat shoes.

“Then, let me carry you.”

Li Zhiyan came in front of Zhao Manman and squatted down.

For his mother, carrying someone, though tiring, Li Zhiyan didn't hesitate at all.

Zhao Manman felt very happy, then lay on Li Zhiyan's back.

Letting Li Zhiyan carry her on the road.

…

After arriving home, Li Zhiyan carried Zhao Manman all the way to the sofa.

“Dear, why did you carry Mom all the way here?”

Zhao Manman found it a bit amusing.

“I was just afraid you were too tired.”

“Do your feet still hurt?”

Zhao Manman felt indeed a bit tired.

“A little.”

“Then let me massage them for you.”

As a professional doctor, Li Zhiyan was quite attentive to medical massage.

Zhao Manman took off her high heels and let Li Zhiyan massage her aching ankles.

Wearing high heels was indeed not very suitable for walking.

“Xiao Yan, Mom wants to ask you a question.”

Feeling the pain alleviate.

Zhao Manman asked Li Zhiyan.

“Alright, you tell me.”

“What gift do you want for your birthday?”

Zhao Manman still wanted to ask Ji Mengting about the situation.

If possible, she would try her best to salvage their marriage.

“A birthday gift, it doesn’t really matter to me…”

“I mainly look at the person who gives me the gift.”

“As long as it’s someone I like, any gift is fine.”

Zhao Manman felt it was getting difficult…

Meng Ting wanted to save her marriage.

She had to make Li Zhiyan feel good about her.

But now Li Zhiyan seemed to have no intention of getting back together with Meng Ting.

A long time later, Zhao Manman returned to her room.

She sent Ji Mengting a video invitation.

“Mom… do you know what gift he wants?”

Zhao Manman thought about Li Zhiyan’s words.

She felt this matter was truly too difficult.

“Mom doesn’t know either, he said any gift from someone he likes is fine.”

Ji Mengting felt very upset.

She had divorced Li Zhiyan, and only after that did she realize.

All of this was entirely her own doing…

“Meng Ting…”

“Mom will tell you the birthday celebration location tomorrow.”

“You think about this matter yourself, Mom can really help you very little.”

“Many things still depend on you.”

Ji Mengting hummed in response.

Her heart also became a little confused.

…

Afterward, Zhao Manman showered, changed into a silk pajama, and went directly to rest.

Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, returned to the master bedroom and took a shower.

After all that, it was already very late.

“It’s not convenient to go find Xiao Ting now.”

That room was indeed easy to mistake, and if Zhao Manman found out about him and Ji Zhiting.

The consequences would still be quite serious.

“Today, Wu Yuexian should video call me, right?”

Li Zhiyan's guess was correct; a few minutes later, Wu Yuexian's video call came through.

“Babe, what are you doing?”

Wu Yuexian had also returned to her usual state of mind at this time.

She was slowly accepting many things.

As for Li Zhiyan's sudden attack on her that day.

She would just pretend it never happened.

In the future, she and he would gradually return to normal, and that would be fine.

“Well, I’m just about to go to bed, Li Yuexian, when are you coming to Magic City? I’ll pick you up.”

“Li Yuexian my foot, it’s Wu Yuexian!”

Li Zhiyan could feel that Wu Yuexian's state had returned to before.

She started arguing with him again about whether it was Li Yuexian or Wu Yuexian.

That matter, perhaps it had already been digested in her heart.

Li Zhiyan also didn’t know…

How to achieve his goals with Wu Yuexian.

Too difficult, too difficult…

She could be said to have absolutely no thoughts about him whatsoever…

“Then, when will you arrive?”

Wu Yuexian opened a screenshot and looked at the train ticket she bought.

“Tomorrow afternoon, anyway, I can make it for your birthday, don’t worry about that, Babe.”

“Your birthday, I’ve never missed it any year.”

Li Zhiyan was very clear about this.

Ever since Wu Yuexian appeared more in his world.

She had never missed his birthday again.

Even if they were thousands of miles apart, she would always appear on time.

At this moment, the door opened.

Li Zhiyan looked over; it was Ji Zhiting, wearing pajamas, sneaking in.

Clearly, this girl missed him.

“Dear.”

After calling out, Li Zhiyan waved his hand, telling Ji Zhiting to come over.

Wu Yuexian knew about his relationship with Ji Zhiting.

So there was no need to avoid anything.

However, this time he had to make it clear to Wu Yuexian and ask her to help him keep it a secret.

Some things could not be known for now.

After coming to Li Zhiyan's side, Ji Zhiting realized.

Li Zhiyan was video calling Wu Yuexian.

She had also seen Wu Yuexian's photos a few times, and she had a particularly deep impression of this beautiful girl.

“Sister Xianxian, hello…”

In Wu Yuexian's heart, there was an indescribable feeling.

Li Zhiyan was just with her like that.

If…

If Li Zhiyan had attacked her that day.

If she hadn't refused, it would be her who was with Li Zhiyan now, right?

Shaking her head, she shook off her strange thoughts.

How could she have such thoughts?

“Hello, Xiao Ting, you’re really beautiful, tomorrow, I’ll have a good chat with you, sister.”

Ji Zhiting felt a sense of shyness; she lay down and leaned on Li Zhiyan's shoulder.

She knew a little about Wu Yuexian's significance to Li Zhiyan.

So now, she couldn't help but feel like she was meeting his family.

“Li Yuexian, remember not to tell anyone about me and Xiao Ting.”

“It can’t be said now.”

Wu Yuexian also knew that it was indeed inappropriate to reveal this matter now.

“Okay…”

“I will definitely keep this matter a secret, rest assured.”

“Xiao Ting, you take the phone, let’s chat for a while.”

Ji Zhiting took the phone and started chatting with Wu Yuexian.

A long time later, their conversation ended.

Then Wu Yuexian's high-speed train time was also sent to Li Zhiyan's WeChat.

After returning the phone to Li Zhiyan.

Ji Zhiting's face was a little red.

“That…”

Li Zhiyan could tell what this girl wanted to do.

In fact, being full of vigor, he was the same.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you change your bun into a high ponytail first?”

Ji Zhiting was very obedient; she was very skilled at changing hairstyles.

Soon, a high ponytail was pulled out by Ji Zhiting.

“Pull my hair gently…”

…

At night, Ji Zhiting secretly ran back to her room.

She was also particularly afraid of being discovered, but thankfully.

It was a close call…

The next day, Ji Zhiting went to school very early.

She planned to rush home immediately after school in the afternoon to celebrate Li Zhiyan's birthday.

Li Zhiyan, who woke up, looked at the date.

He also felt a little emotional; it was another birthday, but this year's birthday was destined to be completely different from before.

He opened WeChat.

First, he saw the message from Liu Yeping.

“Mr. Li, today is your birthday, I plan to charter a yacht for you on the Bund, what do you think?”

Li Zhiyan thought about it and felt that this suggestion was feasible.

He had never celebrated a birthday on a yacht before.

Now that he had money, his lifestyle naturally couldn't be the same as before.

Li Zhiyan: “Okay, then you can arrange it.”

Liu Yeping replied very quickly.

“Then I’ll go prepare right away, I have a friend who does this.”

“I’ll have him reserve a luxury yacht for you.”

“Guaranteed to make your birthday happy.”

Afterward, Li Zhiyan looked at the messages.

He saw the message Zhou Mengmeng sent him.

Zhou Mengmeng: “Happy Birthday…”

Li Zhiyan: “Babe, I’ll take you out to play in a few days.”

Zhou Lili also sent him birthday wishes.

Zhou Lili: “Happy Birthday, where are you celebrating today? I’ve prepared a birthday gift for you.”

Ji Mengting: “Hubby, you’re another year older today, I’ve prepared a surprise for you tonight.”

Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Manman might tell Ji Mengting where he was celebrating his birthday.

But he didn't care…

Zhao Manman would definitely try hard with this matter.

He also didn't need to make her sad.

Once she slowly realized that trying to set him up with Ji Mengting was useless, she would slowly give up on that idea.

On WeChat, there were also some other people who sent him birthday wishes.

Li Zhiyan had truly never felt so many people cared about him before.

From the day he returned to the past, his life seemed to have been divided by a boundary line.

…

Leaving the room, Li Zhiyan saw Zhao Manman sitting on the sofa, wearing black stockings and slippers.

She seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

“Mom.”

Seeing Li Zhiyan get up, Zhao Manman walked towards the kitchen.

“Dear, you go wash up first, Mom will bring you breakfast.”

Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Manman was clearly waiting for him, just afraid that he wouldn't eat well in the morning.

“I understand, Mom.”

It was good to have an elder at home; his life was truly much more convenient.

After washing up, Zhao Manman began to serve Li Zhiyan breakfast.

“Mom, after we finish eating, let’s go to the company. There’s still some time in the morning. In the afternoon, I have to pick up Wu Yuexian, so I won’t have that much time.”

“Let me show you my company.”

Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Manman was quite curious about his company.

“Okay, Mom has long wanted to see what dear’s company looks like.”

With that, Zhao Manman poured Li Zhiyan a glass of milk and placed it in front of him.

Li Zhiyan put the milk in front of Zhao Manman's face.

“Mom, you have a glass too.”

“Okay, Mom will pour you another glass.”

…

Breakfast passed.

The two arrived at Zhiyan Investment Company.

When the rolls-royce appeared downstairs at the company.

Hu Mengke's heart was also uncontrollably excited.

The boss was at the company again; she knew that Li Zhiyan usually didn't like coming to the company much.

And recently, she had also understood many truths.

Being Li Zhiyan's secretary was her good fortune.

She should seize such an opportunity.

To change her own life, a man like Li Zhiyan.

Just a little bit of resources from him was something other ordinary people could only dream of for a lifetime.

She should seize it well.

When she came outside the company to greet Li Zhiyan.

She saw Zhao Manman next to Li Zhiyan.

This made her feel a very strong sense of crisis.

This woman was truly beautiful and stunning.

And she also had a unique charm; she truly felt inferior compared to her.

“Boss, you’re here.”

“Mm, I brought my mom to see the company.”

Hearing this, Hu Mengke breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this woman was the boss's mother.

If she were her competitor…

Zhao Manman looked at Hu Mengke's outfit, which was basically the same as hers, and she also found it interesting.

But she was Li Zhiyan's secretary, so she didn't say anything.

The two began to tour the company.

Hu Mengke followed behind the two the whole time, and through Li Zhiyan and Zhao Manman's conversation.

She also learned about Li Zhiyan and Zhao Manman's situation.

The boss is truly a remarkably good person.

Even after divorcing his ex-wife, he's still so kind to her mother.

However, looking at Zhao Manman, who was dressed exactly like herself, Hu Mengke understood some things.

She felt even more confident about gaining some resources from Li Zhiyan.

As long as she found the right method, nothing would be a problem.

Zhao Manman toured the company, feeling utterly amazed.

She was now convinced that Li Zhiyan earned so much money entirely through his own talent.

His ability far surpassed her own and Ji Mengting's.

“You’re really amazing, Babe…” Zhao Manman was greatly astonished by Li Zhiyan’s talent.

“If it were Mother, there’s no way she could have built a company to this extent.”

Hu Mengke, standing nearby, also greatly admired Li Zhiyan.

Although she didn't know how Li Zhiyan had acquired everything he had now, at this age, to achieve this much was truly extraordinary.

Following him secretly in the future wouldn't be a hardship at all, she thought.

At lunchtime, Li Zhiyan and Zhao Manman had a working meal in the company cafeteria.

They didn't leave the company until the afternoon.

“Mom, Wu Yuexian should be arriving in Magic City soon, let’s go find her.” Zhao Manman also planned to prepare a birthday gift for Li Zhiyan.

This was her first time celebrating his birthday, so it had to be solemn.

“Babe, you go pick her up. Later, drop me off at the underground garage.”

“Mother wants to go shopping.”

Li Zhiyan could roughly understand Zhao Manman’s thoughts.

“Alright, I’ll take you to the garage at home.”

The rolls-royce weaved through the downtown area of Magic City.

Upon returning to the residential complex’s underground garage, Li Zhiyan and Zhao Manman got out of the car together.

“Mom, did you bring your keys?”

“And your flat shoes for driving.”

Li Zhiyan knew that driving in high heels was not allowed; of course, some cars could be driven with them, but not on the road...

“I put them in the car this morning.”

“I brought the keys.”

Zhao Manman took out the Ferrari keys from her bag.

Li Zhiyan followed Zhao Manman and walked towards the Ferrari.

“Babe, you’re still following Mother even though it’s so close?”

“I’m worried something might happen to you. I can only relax once you’re in the car, after all, this is an underground garage.”

Zhao Manman looked around at all the cameras and the security guards standing not far away, finding it a bit amusing.

The security of this complex was absolutely astonishingly high, as the annual property fees were a very expensive sum.

What was there to worry about?

However, if Li Zhiyan wanted to see her off, of course she would let him, as this was her son's filial piety...

After watching Zhao Manman bend down, change her shoes, and get into the car, Li Zhiyan finally felt relieved.

“Bye, Mom.” Li Zhiyan waved affectionately.

And Zhao Manman also waved back at Li Zhiyan.

After the Ferrari drove out of Li Zhiyan’s sight, Li Zhiyan returned to the rolls-royce.

“To the high-speed rail station.”

...

High-speed rail travel in China is indeed very convenient.

Li Zhiyan sent a message to Wu Yuexian.

Li Zhiyan: “Where are you?”

Except when sleeping and showering, Wu Yuexian always replied to Li Zhiyan's messages instantly.

This time was no exception.

Wu Yuexian: “Babe, I’m on my way. I’ll be in Magic City in less than an hour.”

“This time, Big Sister wants to see your new house, okay?”

Attached was a photo of the scenery outside the high-speed rail.

Li Zhiyan: “Then I’ll wait for you, Li Yuexian.”

Wu Yuexian: “I’ll tell you when I arrive, Babe.”

Time passed quickly. After Li Zhiyan waited at the high-speed rail station entrance for a while, he saw Wu Yuexian walking out of the station.

Today, she was wearing a red pleated mini-skirt, and on top, a matching red blouse.

She looked very much like a mature woman.

“Li Yuexian, your hair is so long, it’s almost down to your waist.”

Saying this, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but touch Wu Yuexian’s big wavy hair.

Her hair was truly very long. There was a difference between a mature woman and a young girl.

Like Zhou Mengmeng's twin ponytails, or Ji Zhiting's high ponytail when needed, those were easier to grab.

But Wu Yuexian's hair wasn't as easy to grab.

“You know I like long hair, don’t you?”

“It’s just a bit troublesome when washing it.”

To make her hair fragrant for her departure today, Wu Yuexian had truly spent a lot of time.

“I like it too.” Saying this, Li Zhiyan gently hugged Wu Yuexian.

Wu Yuexian also hugged Li Zhiyan, but quickly and consciously pulled away from his embrace.

“Alright, Babe, let’s go. Let’s see your home.”

Through the previous video call, Wu Yuexian knew that Li Zhiyan had bought a new house.

She wasn't surprised by this.

Li Zhiyan had at least tens of millions, perhaps even a hundred million, in assets.

Otherwise, how could he have given her the G-Wagon and the large flat?

“It’s my home, and it’s your home too.”

“Let’s go.”

Li Zhiyan tried to take Wu Yuexian’s hand, but she dodged him.

“Don’t you know that men and women shouldn’t touch each other, you blockhead?”

Li Zhiyan still wanted to grab Wu Yuexian’s hand, but seeing that she consistently refused, he gave up.

He realized that after he had kissed her last time, she was now very wary in this regard.

He really didn't know how to approach Wu Yuexian.

Although she doted on him, Li Zhiyan also knew that on some matters of principle, she would absolutely stick to her own principles, unlike Zhou Mengmeng.

Even if she found some of his ideas hard to accept, she wouldn't refuse him and would still go on dates with him, and even kiss him...

“Alright then.” Li Zhiyan’s mood seemed a bit low.

Regarding Wu Yuexian, he had also clearly thought through his feelings for her.

He loved her immensely, but being with her was too difficult.

And...

“Babe, are you angry?” Seeing Li Zhiyan’s expression, Wu Yuexian knew this was how he looked when he was unhappy.

Her heart began to ache uncontrollably again.

“I’m not angry, I just feel a bit sad that you won’t even let me hold your hand.”

Wu Yuexian touched Li Zhiyan’s face with a wry smile.

“Alright, Babe, you can hold it.”

“But you must know, no impure thoughts, understand?”

Wu Yuexian was genuinely a bit afraid that Li Zhiyan would suddenly kiss her again or something.

Now that Li Zhiyan was with Ji Zhiting, she should properly watch over him and ensure this relationship had a good outcome.

“I know.” Li Zhiyan took Wu Yuexian’s delicate hand, feeling a bit happier.

Upon reaching the rolls-royce, Li Zhiyan opened the car door.

“Get in, Big Sister.”

Wu Yuexian looked at the rolls-royce in front of her, unable to believe what she was seeing.

“Babe… is this the rolls-royce from the internet?”

“How much does this cost?”

“You blockhead, how did you get so rich now?”

Li Zhiyan held Wu Yuexian’s hand and walked towards the car.

“Get in first.”

After the car started, Li Zhiyan lay back, but still held Wu Yuexian’s hand, reluctant to let go.

Wu Yuexian was the woman he could never abandon in this lifetime.

“This car probably costs over ten million after all the fees.”

“You should just live in Magic City from now on.”

“This car will be yours to use.”

For Wu Yuexian, Li Zhiyan was absolutely willing to be good to her regardless of the cost.

A rolls-royce was nothing.

“Forget it… I don’t have that kind of fortune.”

Wu Yuexian secretly observed Li Zhiyan, finding him truly mysterious.

Before, she only thought he was handsome, but now he had a subtle, detached aura that made people's hearts race.

Perhaps this was the concept of a man's demeanor after he becomes wealthy.

They say money is the source of a man's confidence, and that saying is certainly true.

Previously, Wu Yuexian saved money for Li Zhiyan to buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, also so that Li Zhiyan could be more confident.

“You do. You are the most important woman in my life. Everything I have is yours if you want it.”

Wu Yuexian looked at Li Zhiyan but didn't believe his words.

“What about Xiao Ting, you blockhead? I’m finding you more and more of a scumbag now.”

“How many girls have you said that to?”

“The most important women in your life are probably more than a single digit, aren’t they?”

Li Zhiyan immediately denied it.

“I’ve only said that to you.”

“You truly are the most important woman in my life.”

Wu Yuexian didn't believe him at all.

She felt that Li Zhiyan definitely wouldn't be very honest now...

In a way, Wu Yuexian was definitely the person who understood Li Zhiyan the most.

If Li Zhiyan had achieved his current success before his divorce, he would have been wholeheartedly with Ji Mengting.

But he only achieved this success after his divorce.

So he would absolutely not live the unchanging life he had before.

“You have to believe me.” Li Zhiyan kissed Wu Yuexian’s hand, feeling a bit guilty at the moment.

Other women believed his words, but only Wu Yuexian truly understood him completely.

She truly was the woman who grew up with him since childhood.

“Only a ghost would believe you…” Wu Yuexian pinched Li Zhiyan’s face, her beautiful eyes still full of doting affection.

As long as Li Zhiyan didn't do what he did in the master bedroom of the large flat that day again, she could forever spoil him like this.

Upon arriving at the residential complex, Wu Yuexian felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

“Babe, how much did this house of yours cost?”

“This is the downtown area of Magic City. Any apartment here must start at tens of millions, right?”

One apartment here was equivalent to the large flat in Wan City.

The various buildings nearby made Wu Yuexian feel a bit dazzled.

“You’ll know when we get home.”

Upon reaching the underground garage, Wu Yuexian also saw many luxury cars.

The least expensive was a Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

“There are so many rich people here, Babe. Tell me honestly,”

“Did you really go into telecom fraud?”

Li Zhiyan held Wu Yuexian’s hand and got into the elevator.

“Telecom fraud can’t make me this much money.”

“Let’s go home.”

When they returned home, the full view of the large flat appeared in Wu Yuexian’s sight.

She could not hide her shock.

This house… was quite a bit larger than the large flat in Wan City.

Just looking at the rooms made her a bit dizzy.

If they didn’t specifically mark them, she’d get lost at night.

“Babe, how much did this apartment of yours cost?”

Li Zhiyan replied, “Around eighty million.”

Wu Yuexian suddenly felt that the property she had been guarding for Li Zhiyan was meaningless.

An 80-million-yuan luxury home, plus the rolls-royce and other luxury cars – Wu Yuexian could no longer calculate how much money he had.

“I’ll take you to your room.” Li Zhiyan led Wu Yuexian towards the second bedroom.

Opening the door, he found it was Zhao Manman’s room.

“This is Mom’s room.”

“That one is Ting’s.”

“You stay in this one…”

Pushing open the door, Wu Yuexian looked at the spacious room and put down her large bag.

She didn't plan to stay in Magic City for long this time, so she only brought a few changes of clothes and the sweater she knitted for Li Zhiyan.

“Babe, I never dreamed that one day you could buy such a large house in a place like Magic City’s downtown area.”

“And also ride in a rolls-royce.”

“Our little one has truly made something of himself.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Wu Yuexian’s beautiful figure, and his heart still felt a strong pull.

If only he could...

“Blockhead!”

“Don’t look at me with those lecherous eyes, understand?”

“I’ll really get angry.”

Li Zhiyan also sensed that Wu Yuexian wasn't just saying that casually.

Wu Yuexian only acted this way when she was serious.

If he really angered her, he wouldn't know what to do.

Li Zhiyan was truly terrified that one day Wu Yuexian would stop talking to him altogether.

“I know…”

“Don’t worry.”

Li Zhiyan checked WeChat; Liu Yeping had sent a message.

The yacht was ready, and it included a location pin.

Li Zhiyan replied to him.

Looking at Li Zhiyan typing, Wu Yuexian couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache again.

Had her words hurt him a little?

He had only looked at her figure; he hadn't actually done anything to her.

Was this a bit of a blow to him?

“Babe, this is the birthday present I prepared for you.”

“From now on, you have to wear it every day when it’s cold, understand?”

Wu Yuexian took out the sweater she had knitted for a long time.

Although it was all hand-knitted, it was very delicate, and the style looked quite unique.

“You knitted a sweater for me.” Li Zhiyan touched the soft fabric, feeling a warmth in his heart.

“Yes, Babe, I knitted it for a long time to make it.”

“Try it on and see if it fits.”

Li Zhiyan took off his shirt.

This scene made Wu Yuexian blush. She realized that after that incident, she could no longer look at Li Zhiyan the way she used to.

Instead, she would always subconsciously see Li Zhiyan as a man, a man she could be with.

After putting it on, Li Zhiyan looked in the full-length mirror and found that it fit perfectly.

Wu Yuexian came over to Li Zhiyan and helped him adjust the sweater.

“It fits perfectly. I told you I remember your size very accurately.”

He had barely put it on when Li Zhiyan felt hot.

“It’s just too hot.”

Li Zhiyan pulled the sweater off immediately and changed back into his original clothes.

Then, he pulled Wu Yuexian towards the bed.

“What do you want to do?” Wu Yuexian looked at Li Zhiyan very warily, her heart starting to panic a little.

“Just chat.”

After pulling Wu Yuexian down to sit, he still asked that question.

“Li Yuexian, this time, please don’t leave Magic City, okay?”

“Anyway, there are so many rooms here. It’s too big, and living alone is very uncomfortable for me.”

“If you come to stay with me, I won’t be so lonely.”

Wu Yuexian still didn't agree to Li Zhiyan.

“Forget it… Just give me some time. I don’t want to come to Magic City right now.”

“I’m just here to celebrate your birthday this time.”

Li Zhiyan knew that convincing Wu Yuexian to come here was indeed a very difficult task.

He decided to get her drunk tonight and then talk about it.

“Then let’s head out.”

“The yacht is ready. Tonight is my 24th birthday, and I definitely want to get completely drunk!”

Li Zhiyan was prepared to get drunk.

And Wu Yuexian wasn't surprised by this; ever since he came of age, Li Zhiyan indeed drank a lot on his birthdays.

“Then let’s go.”

...

The rolls-royce headed towards the Bund.

On the way, Li Zhiyan sent the yacht’s location to Zhao Manman and Ji Zhiting.

When the two arrived at the luxury yacht, Liu Yeping had already been waiting for a long time.

“Mr. Li, you’ve arrived. This is the birthday gift I prepared for you.”

Not only Liu Yeping, but many other second-generation heirs also presented gifts.

Li Zhiyan accepted them all.

“Alright, let’s all have a good few drinks tonight.”

“We won’t stop until we’re drunk.”

Wu Yuexian was greatly astonished; all these people had exceptionally refined manners and temperaments.

Yet, they were all deferential to Li Zhiyan.

Clearly, he was the one with the highest status on this luxury yacht.

To have such status in so many second-generation circles, he truly isn't simple.

At this moment, Wu Yuexian's heart was filled with too much curiosity.

Not long after, the roar of a ferrari 488 came from afar.

Li Zhiyan knew that his mother-in-law had arrived.

He got ashore and waited for Zhao Manman to arrive.

Soon, Zhao Manman got out of the car, and sitting in the passenger seat was Ji Mengting; Li Zhiyan wasn't surprised by this.

As a mother, Zhao Manman would definitely help Ji Mengting reconcile with him.

"Why is she here..."

Wu Yuexian didn't like Ji Mengting in her heart.

Before Ji Mengting divorced Li Zhiyan, she still regarded Ji Mengting as family.

However, after Ji Mengting divorced Li Zhiyan,

she no longer felt anything for Ji Mengting, because it was she who had actively abandoned her Babe.

"Mom, you're here, Meng Ting."

Li Zhiyan went to greet them.

Today, Ji Mengting wore black stockings; she had never worn black stockings before.

Clearly, it was to please Li Zhiyan.

Ji Mengting looked at Li Zhiyan before her, only feeling that he was radiant.

When Zhao Manman picked her up, she was very surprised.

Her mother was actually driving a ferrari 488, and it even had a Shanghai A license plate.

But what Zhao Manman said next made her even more incredulous...

This car was actually Li Zhiyan's.

Moreover, Li Zhiyan had also bought a rolls-royce and an eight-million-yuan luxury apartment.

She looked around and indeed saw Li Zhiyan's rolls-royce.

Looking at the luxury yacht behind Li Zhiyan, which could accommodate hundreds of people for a party,

Ji Mengting felt her worldview was collapsing a bit...

How could a person go from an ordinary person to this level, completing a class leap, and not just one class, in such a short time?

It really felt like a dream.

"Li Zhiyan, is this rolls-royce yours?"

Li Zhiyan gave an affirmative answer.

Instantly, Ji Mengting's face turned pale.

She really was a joke.

She divorced Li Zhiyan back then because she wanted freedom, feeling that his income wasn't enough for her.

But everything now was proving one point:

her talent and ability were completely not on the same level as Li Zhiyan's.

"Mom, Meng Ting, let's get on the boat first; the cake is ready."

Zhao Manman handed the gift she was carrying to Li Zhiyan.

"Xiao Yan, this is the famous watch Mom bought for you."

"Mom doesn't know what you like, but I haven't given you any decent gifts these past years."

"This is just a small token of Mom's appreciation."

Li Zhiyan took it and said happily, "Thank you, Mom."

He could tell that this Patek Philippe wristwatch

cost over three million yuan; Zhao Manman had truly spared no expense this time.

He didn't stand on ceremony either; he would definitely repay her fully in the future.

And Ji Mengting also handed the porsche 911 key in her hand to Li Zhiyan.

"Hus..."

She wanted to call him 'husband,' but Ji Mengting also realized that this man in front of her was no longer her husband.

She had no right to call him 'husband' at all.

As she spoke, her tears were about to fall.

"Xiao Yan, this is the porsche 911 I'm giving you."

Ji Mengting didn't have much cash now; after realizing that she couldn't live without Li Zhiyan,

she prepared such a birthday gift for Li Zhiyan.

But now she felt that she and Li Zhiyan were drifting further and further apart.

She had left the most important person behind midway.

"This is too expensive, Mom, take Meng Ting onto the boat first."

Li Zhiyan didn't accept the 911 key; instead, he put it back into Ji Mengting's hand.

Looking at Ji Mengting, who was about to cry,

Zhao Manman also felt particularly heartbroken.

She pulled Ji Mengting onto the boat, and Wu Yuexian also followed alongside.

Zhao Manman was an elder, so she still had to accompany her.

Moreover, Zhao Manman and she had gotten along really well last time in Wan City.

Not long after, Ji Zhiting also arrived.

"Baby..."

Seeing no one nearby, Ji Zhiting sweetly called out "Baby."

"Alright, Xiao Ting, get on the boat first; it's about to depart."

Ji Zhiting whispered, "The birthday gift I prepared for you is at home."

"They are little stars I folded for a long time, and I wrote your name on every single one."

As she spoke, her face turned a little red.

She knew very well that even if she took out all her savings for Li Zhiyan, it would only be pocket money for him.

Before, when she wanted to give him startup funds, he didn't even want them.

Let alone other things.

So Ji Zhiting spent a lot of time secretly preparing a gift for Li Zhiyan.

After taking Ji Zhiting onto the yacht,

the yacht headed towards the middle of the river.

Li Zhiyan looked at the brightly lit skyscrapers, and he decided in his heart that he would buy a true luxury residence here later.

He could wake up every day and see the river view.

"Come on, everyone, help put in the candles!"

Liu Yeping opened the large cake, and the rich second-generations present all began to prepare for Li Zhiyan.

Opening champagne, red wine, and inserting candles.

As dusk fell, there was a chilly wind blowing over the Huangpu River.

Making Zhao Manman feel a hint of autumn coolness.

This feeling...

It was indeed a bit cold, but looking at the children beside her, that feeling quickly dissipated.

As long as the children were by her side,

then everything...

was not scary, especially since Xiao Yan was also by her side now.

As the candles were lit, Li Zhiyan also made a wish.

He hoped he could...

After making his wish, Li Zhiyan blew out the candles.

Then he looked at Zhao Manman, and then at Wu Yuexian and the others.

Would his wish have a chance to come true in this lifetime?

"Mom, let's eat cake."

"Today is my 24th birthday cake."

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan cut a piece of cake for Zhao Manman; she was an elder, so giving her the cake first was a matter of course.

Zhao Manman took the cake from Li Zhiyan, parted her red lips slightly, and began to eat.

Then Li Zhiyan also cut a piece for Ji Mengting.

"Thank you, Meng Ting, for coming to my birthday."

"Eat more."

Li Zhiyan distributed cake to the several girls.

And the chef also began to serve the grand meal.

"Mr. Li, I toast you, I'll drink it all!"

"I'll have three cups!"

Everyone consciously kept a certain distance from the girls around Li Zhiyan.

No one knew...

what relationship each girl had with Li Zhiyan.

Liu Yeping drank three cups straight, and all the rich second-generations applauded.

And Li Zhiyan also drank freely today.

He kept downing one glass of wine after another.

Gradually, he became a little hazy.

"Mom, I toast you, thank you for your birthday gift and for being so kind to me."

Li Zhiyan raised his glass and began to toast Zhao Manman.

Zhao Manman naturally did not refuse Li Zhiyan.

She also drank a full large glass.

Ji Mengting drank a lot by herself there; her heart was very sad.

The river wind blowing on her body made her feel an unprecedented coldness.

...

The yacht was very large; after talking for a long time, everyone separated to chat with their friends.

Li Zhiyan also found a corner, blew some cold air, and sobered up a little.

However, the alcohol still hit him from time to time,

making him a bit disoriented.

"Husband..."

Hearing this voice, Li Zhiyan instinctively wanted to go back and hug Ji Mengting.

Her voice truly ignited Li Zhiyan's hormones.

But quickly, he realized that they were on the yacht.

Some things were inconvenient to do, and now he and Ji Mengting were divorced.

They were no longer husband and wife, and he was no longer her husband.

Sitting down, Li Zhiyan leaned his back against the railing.

He looked at Ji Mengting's beautiful face with a hint of allure and her pair of tempting black-stockinged legs.

"Don't call me that, Meng Ting, we're divorced, have you forgotten?"

No one was approaching this side; finally, Ji Mengting's tears couldn't be held back.

"I know..."

"But I really regret it, Li Zhiyan."

"I hope you can hug me and call me wife."

"I still want to be in the same room with you and do the things we usually do."

As she spoke, Ji Mengting choked up.

Clearly enduring immense pain.

"Alright, don't cry, go to my place tonight first."

Frankly, although Ji Mengting had never cooked for him,

she had always been very good to him; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to break ties with her family back then to force Zhao Manman to agree to her marriage with him.

And when they divorced, she didn't take any of his money or house.

It was just that during that period, she didn't like his mediocrity.

Although divorced, they were still friends.

Li Zhiyan also couldn't watch a drunk Ji Mengting run around on the Bund.

"Mm..."

Ji Mengting felt as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

Her beautiful eyes also showed some light.

"Then I'll go find Mom first."

After Ji Mengting left for a while,

Wu Yuexian came over and sat beside Li Zhiyan.

A drunk Li Zhiyan's gaze was much more uninhibited; when a person is not sober,

many things are truly forgotten.

"Why are you looking at me so lustfully again? Do you really want me to smash your dog head?"

Li Zhiyan didn't answer; instead, he rested his head on Wu Yuexian's chest.

Wu Yuexian instinctively wanted to push Li Zhiyan away.

But being drunk, she didn't have much strength, and besides, there was no need to argue so much with a drunk person.

As long as he didn't look at her like that when sober, it would be fine.

She would have to talk to him seriously about this issue later.

"Li Yuexian, please don't leave, okay?"

"If you leave, I'll really miss you."

A drunk Li Zhiyan didn't forget to try to make Wu Yuexian stay.

But Wu Yuexian still refused.

"Babe... I really can't stay here."

Actually, Wu Yuexian originally had the idea of staying here.

However, she was very worried that what happened that day would happen again.

Love develops over time; after a long period, accidents can easily happen.

Those things were absolutely unacceptable to Wu Yuexian's heart.

So it was better for the two of them to live in two different places.

"How can the high-speed rail be so fast now? I can come to see you often, you know?"

"We don't necessarily have to meet every day; it's enough if I often think of you in my heart."

Li Zhiyan was clearly not satisfied with just that.

"I don't want to see you occasionally; I hope to see you often."

"Isn't it really good to stay by my side?"

Li Zhiyan looked at Wu Yuexian, and his eyes carried a deep affection.

He truly liked Wu Yuexian very much.

Feeling Li Zhiyan's tenderness, Wu Yuexian almost succumbed at this moment.

Without a doubt, the person she liked most in her heart was Li Zhiyan.

Why wouldn't she want to be with him every day?

It was just that some things truly could no longer, no longer develop in the wrong direction.

"Babe..."

"Don't talk about this issue anymore; actually, we both understand some things deep down."

"It's impossible for me to be with you, understand?"

"The obstacles for us to be together are far greater than for you and Xiao Ting to be together."

"Do you really want me to face those things?"

Li Zhiyan knew that for Wu Yuexian, this matter indeed required too, too much sacrifice.

"So... I'll go back to Wan City then."

"If you miss me, you can come back to see me, and I can also come to see you."

"Isn't this quite good?"

As she spoke, Wu Yuexian's self-taught Sichuan and Chongqing accent was gone.

Clearly, she was very serious...

"I know..."

Li Zhiyan lowered his head, feeling very lost.

However, he hadn't thought of giving up just yet.

No matter what, he absolutely, absolutely...

had to win over this woman who loved him the most.

Wu Yuexian...

was definitely one of the girls he could never let go of in this lifetime.

Because her love for him could be said to be deeply ingrained, willing to give up her life.

As for other girls, Li Zhiyan was not sure how far they would go for him.

Only Wu Yuexian, he knew, if he asked for her life, she wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Wu Yuexian held Li Zhiyan's head, and her tears flowed continuously as she was drunk.

Although it was Li Zhiyan's birthday today, both her and Ji Mengting's emotions were very low.

By past eleven at night, everyone was drunk.

Li Zhiyan didn't know how much he had drunk; after docking, the second-generations said goodbye to Li Zhiyan and staggered towards the bar, planning to continue their nightlife.

"Let's go home."

Li Zhiyan's two drivers had arrived.

"I'll take the Ferrari, Mom, you all take the rolls-royce."

The four seats of the Phantom Extended Wheelbase could perfectly accommodate four people.

"Mm..."

"Baby, let's go."

Zhao Manman was swaying a bit as she walked.

Ji Zhiting was leaning on her shoulder, almost falling asleep.

Although she hadn't drunk much, never having drunk alcohol before, she was the most intoxicated.

...

In the underground garage, the four beautiful women and Li Zhiyan entered the elevator together.

Before, when he rode the elevator with one person, Li Zhiyan didn't feel it was particularly fragrant.

But...

Today he truly felt it was very fragrant; these scents made his blood boil a little.

"Mom... you take them to rest; there are enough rooms."

Ji Mengting looked at the luxury apartment worth over eighty million yuan, feeling even more that she had completely misunderstood him before.

His talent far surpassed hers.

...

Upon reaching the master bedroom, Li Zhiyan collapsed and slept; he woke up around two in the morning.

He woke up thirsty.

"Go out and pour a glass of water."

At this moment, Li Zhiyan was still disoriented, completely forgetting that there was also a water dispenser in the master bedroom.

After arriving in the living room, Li Zhiyan felt as if he was about to explode.

Many people have no reaction after getting drunk, but Li Zhiyan was different.

He felt like he was about to lose control of himself.

"Go find Xiao Ting..."

Although he had many scruples during the day, Li Zhiyan didn't care about anything now.

He just wanted to pull Xiao Ting's hair and relax.

The room was messy...

Li Zhiyan's alcohol buzz was hitting him again...

He walked towards a room and twisted the doorknob.

He had already imagined Xiao Ting sleeping there cutely.

He really wanted to kiss her...

The door opened, and he didn't know that his drunkenness would lead to a desperate, unforgivable mistake.
