93: What you can't do

Chapter 93: What Not to Do

The river view was truly beautiful…

Gusts of wind from the river blew, gradually clearing Zhao Manman’s mind.

Indeed, some things, things that should be done, should not be hesitated over.

Otherwise, once one gets old…

It will be too late for everything.

“Mom, if there’s anything you want to do, just go for it. I support you.”

Zhao Manman gently stroked Li Zhiyan’s head.

“Son, Mom knows that time is actually very short.”

“Like a fleeting white steed, many things, if not done, probably can’t be done in a lifetime.”

“So, Mom plans to go travel for a while.”

Li Zhiyan didn’t know what Zhao Manman wanted to do.

“Mom, but I’ll miss you. If I can’t eat your cooking, I’ll really be at a loss.”

Zhao Manman gently pinched Li Zhiyan’s face.

“Don’t worry, son, I definitely won’t let you go hungry.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Zhao Manman’s gentle eyes, and seemed to understand something.

“Mom, I respect your choice.”

After a long while, the two returned downstairs.

Wu Yuexian and Liu Xiaoyun, who had tidied up their rooms, both came to the living room on the first floor.

Wu Yuexian sat on the sofa, looking at the resplendent surroundings, feeling increasingly unreal.

Not long ago, her uncle and aunt had called her, asking why there was such a huge sum of money on the card Li Zhiyan gave them.

They asked if Li Zhiyan had done anything illegal or criminal.

After she explained for a long time, the two elders finally relaxed.

What would their reaction be if they saw their son had bought this river view villa by the Huangpu River…

At this moment, Wu Yuexian’s heart was already a little afraid to imagine.

“Li Yuexian, how do you feel about this environment? Do you like it?”

Wu Yuexian stood up and came to Li Zhiyan’s side.

She pinched Li Zhiyan’s face, then sat back on the sofa.

“Li Yuexian my foot! You Hanhan, how many times have I told you?”

“You should call me Wu Yuexian, understand?”

Li Zhiyan sat down next to Wu Yuexian.

At such a close distance, Li Zhiyan could feel the warmth emanating from Wu Yuexian.

“You always emphasize this problem, are you trying to be with me? After all, Wu Yuexian can be with Li Zhiyan.”

His voice was very soft; he whispered it into Wu Yuexian’s ear.

Liu Xiaoyun next to them leaned forward, wanting to hear something, but Li Zhiyan spoke too softly, and she couldn’t hear anything.

So, she had to let go of her curiosity.

At this moment, Wu Yuexian realized…

The issue she had argued with Li Zhiyan about for so many years had now become his weapon against her.

Zhao Manman watched Li Zhiyan and Wu Yuexian playing around.

She also knew some things…

However, Zhao Manman’s pretty face showed no expression on the surface.

…

“Li Yuexian.”

Li Zhiyan tried calling out “Li Yuexian” again.

But this time, Li Yuexian refused very decisively.

“Li Yuexian my foot! It’s Wu Yuexian, don’t you know? From now on, call me Li Yuexian.”

Liu Xiaoyun next to them was also a bit confused, not knowing what Li Zhiyan had said.

It was incredible that he had managed to change Wu Yuexian’s habit so quickly.

“I understand, Wu Yuexian.”

Wu Yuexian felt a little helpless, wishing she could immediately fight Li Zhiyan.

To give this boy a good beating.

But…

With so many people around, it was really inconvenient for her, but it was also inconvenient when there were fewer people…

She couldn’t beat him at all; instead, she would be more easily suppressed by him.

Now, Wu Yuexian felt a sense of powerlessness.

Indeed…

This boy was still lusting after her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have desperately tried to get her to Nanjiang.

And now, her relationship with him seemed to have returned to its normal state.

How was she going to guard against this boy’s indecency in the future?

Wu Yuexian felt that she had boarded a pirate ship this time.

And it seemed like she couldn’t get off the pirate ship.

“I understand, Wu Yuexian…”

Li Zhiyan held Wu Yuexian’s hand, unwilling to let go. At this moment, Wu Yuexian always felt unnatural.

Li Zhiyan used to hold her hand all the time, and often rested his head on her shoulder.

During those intimate moments, she felt very natural.

But now, being held by Li Zhiyan’s hand like this, Wu Yuexian’s mind always recalled what happened that night.

When she woke up, she felt very pleased…

Although the subsequent events were very brief, she truly could never forget them…

Speaking of which, was she lucky, having skipped that painful stage directly?

Wu Yuexian’s mind was filled with wild thoughts.

She herself didn’t know what she was thinking.

Afterward, Zhao Manman also put on an apron and went to cook.

Li Zhiyan kept sticking to Wu Yuexian’s side. Before, he thought about Wu Yuexian being able to come to Nanjiang every day.

And now, his wish had finally come true; he could see Wu Yuexian every day.

After staying for a long time, Wu Yuexian noticed that Li Zhiyan’s changes were very obvious.

Such obvious emotional changes made Wu Yuexian involuntarily recall past scenes, which constantly played in her mind.

Making her also feel a little unnatural.

“I’ll go help Auntie.”

Finally, Wu Yuexian, unable to control herself, went to the kitchen.

And Liu Xiaoyun, who was next to them, looked at Li Zhiyan and felt very amazed.

She hadn’t expected…

Li Zhiyan was still hiding so much; she hadn’t realized how formidable he was before.

…

“Xianxian, since you’re here, live well in Nanjiang from now on.”

“During this time, Xiao Yan really missed you.”

Zhao Manman could tell that Li Zhiyan cared deeply about Wu Yuexian.

However, she also understood one thing now: her position in Li Zhiyan’s heart was actually not inferior to Wu Yuexian’s at all.

As long as she knew this, it was enough.

“Mm…”

Wu Yuexian also knew that Zhao Manman and Li Zhiyan had a very good relationship.

Since she said so, it meant that this boy still had a conscience. If only what happened before hadn’t happened, how wonderful that would be.

…

“Sister Xiaoyun, why is your face a little red? The weather isn’t that hot, is it?”

Li Zhiyan looked at Liu Xiaoyun, who was sitting not far away; he also felt a little strange in his heart.

“Nothing…”

“Maybe I’ve been a bit overheated recently.”

Liu Xiaoyun fanned herself…

Not long after, Zhao Manman’s dinner was served.

And Ji Zhiting also returned from outside.

“Sister Xian!”

Upon seeing Wu Yuexian, Ji Zhiting was clearly very happy.

They had really gotten to know each other much better during Li Zhiyan’s birthday last time.

“Xiao Ting Bao.”

Wu Yuexian went up and hugged Ji Zhiting, feeling Ji Zhiting’s body temperature, a complex feeling in her heart.

Li Zhiyan’s real girlfriend was Ji Zhiting.

Wu Yuexian knew this in her heart.

But this boy, even with Ji Zhiting, it wasn’t enough; now he even had ideas about her.

“Sister, now that you’re here, are you not leaving?”

Ji Zhiting really wanted to please Wu Yuexian; she knew about Wu Yuexian and Li Zhiyan’s relationship.

If she supported her and Li Zhiyan’s relationship, then there would be no problem on that side.

“Mm, I’m not leaving. I’ll stay here in Nanjiang with you all from now on.”

Wu Yuexian also knew that she really couldn’t leave.

“Then let’s eat first. We’ll sleep together tonight.”

Li Zhiyan felt a little helpless. Although this Xiao Ting Bao was very good, her insistence on sleeping with Wu Yuexian would make him lose some opportunities.

However, now that Wu Yuexian had arrived, there would be plenty of time in the future, so Li Zhiyan didn’t care too much about these things.

As long as she was here, she was destined not to escape.

After sitting down at the table, Liu Xiaoyun secretly looked at Li Zhiyan. Now, she also found Li Zhiyan a bit unusual.

Young, handsome, and extremely wealthy…

The most terrifying thing was him…

But, although she herself was also a goddess-level beauty.

However, Li Zhiyan didn’t fancy her, and this was all because the beauties around him were simply too beautiful.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoyun felt a sense of powerlessness.

“Sister, this is…”

Ji Zhiting noticed Liu Xiaoyun next to them and asked curiously.

Li Zhiyan introduced, “This is Liu Xiaoyun, Wu Yuexian’s best friend for many years.”

“You can also call her Sister Xiaoyun.”

Ji Zhiting very obediently called out “Sister Xiaoyun,” and Liu Xiaoyun also started chatting with Ji Zhiting.

Zhao Manman watched all this, feeling very happy in her heart.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyun asked about her work.

“Xiao Yan, what exactly is the job you mentioned?”

Li Zhiyan glanced at the beautiful Liu Xiaoyun.

He then looked at Wu Yuexian.

“You can just come to my Zhiyan Investment.”

“Anyway, you can pick any position there.”

“The public relations department is still short of many people, but don’t worry, my public relations department is not like other companies that need to engage in suggestive behavior.”

“No one will be able to take advantage of you.”

“Your salary is guaranteed to satisfy you.”

“And I can sign a fifty-year long-term contract with you. I’ll support you until you retire.”

Zhao Manman knew that Li Zhiyan was telling the truth; his company didn’t need those things to do business at all.

And no one dared to do anything excessive at Zhiyan Investment.

“Thank you, little brother…”

Liu Xiaoyun was very touched…

Li Zhiyan was truly very good to her. This was only because she was Wu Yuexian’s best friend, and he was being so good to her out of love for Wu Yuexian.

But she would never forget this kindness.

Looking at the somewhat choked-up Liu Xiaoyun, Li Zhiyan looked at Wu Yuexian.

“Wu Yuexian, you should also come work at my company.”

“Just help me keep an eye on the company to make sure nothing goes wrong. You can pick any department.”

Li Zhiyan clearly understood Wu Yuexian’s personality.

She would definitely want to work, so instead of that, it would be better to have her come to his company.

That way, he could have an advantage.

He could also find opportunities to test her at any time in the company.

“I…”

“Alright.”

Wu Yuexian originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she might be able to help Li Zhiyan, so she agreed.

In that case, she could actually help Li Zhiyan protect his assets.

After dinner…

Ji Zhiting pulled Wu Yuexian upstairs, wanting to sleep with her.

Ji Zhiting was very fond of both Da Ting Bao and Wu Yuexian, her two older sisters.

And she also wanted to deepen her relationship with Wu Yuexian as soon as possible.

Wu Yuexian naturally couldn’t resist such a cute and enthusiastic Xiao Ting Bao.

She was pulled upstairs by her.

…

“Mom, let’s go for a walk.”

Li Zhiyan probably understood Zhao Manman’s thoughts.

Anyway, she was indeed going to leave.

Sometimes, leaving wasn’t for separation.

“Mm…”

The mother and son walked along the Bund. Li Zhiyan took off his jacket.

And put it over Zhao Manman.

“Mom…”

“If you go traveling, where do you like to go?”

Zhao Manman remembered discussing travel with Li Zhiyan before.

She said without hesitation, “Nanjiang, I guess.”

Li Zhiyan smiled.

“Then, can I accompany you to Nanjiang?”

Zhao Manman stroked Li Zhiyan’s head.

“This time, Mom wants to go alone. If there’s a chance in the future, our family can go together.”

“Bring Xiao Ting Bao, and also Da Ting Bao.”

“Actually, we mother and son will meet again very soon. There’s a saying that’s true: separation is just for another kind of reunion.”

The two exchanged glances, and the affection between mother and son deepened.

Li Zhiyan increasingly liked the feeling of having his family together like this.

“I’ll take you back.”

Zhao Manman nodded gently.

Li Zhiyan had Old Sun drive the car over.

Then, he took Zhao Manman back to her house.

…

After returning home, Li Zhiyan also went back to the past.

Arriving in the parallel universe's Nanjiang, Li Zhiyan sent a QQ message to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li quickly came over.

In the bar owned by Xiao Li, the two met again.

"Brother Li, you're here."

"It's really great. After my assets surpassed one billion, I feel like my confidence has reached its peak."

Li Zhiyan understood very well the confidence that money could bring to a man.

"Recently, there haven't been any particularly big market trends."

"We can just do a few small trades."

"In the time to come..."

"We need to consider investing in large enterprises."

"Because now we have enough cash flow, many companies can be entered."

Hearing this, Xiao Li remembered what had happened recently.

"Don't mention it, Brother Li, I was planning to attend a cocktail party tonight."

"After I frequently made money in the futures market, many people in the industry gave me the nickname 'Nanjiang Futures God'."

"I also met some very wealthy people. Today, an Old Liu invited me to a cocktail party."

"This party was organized by a big shot in the circle."

"I heard that Teacher Ma, Ma Yunteng, and Wang, the richest will all be there."

Hearing this...

Li Zhiyan realized that this might be a very good opportunity to make a name for himself.

With so much information disparity, he wasn't lacking in cash flow.

What he lacked now was fame in the capital circle.

"Then let's get ready, we'll go together tonight."

Li Zhiyan lay down. Because he had always used the image of a middle-aged man before, he wasn't disguised now; he was still that middle-aged man.

Evening quickly arrived...

A rolls-royce stopped at the entrance of the bar.

It was clearly Xiao Li's car, and Li Zhiyan was not surprised by this at all.

With over one billion in cash flow, such a display was perfectly normal.

It wasn't excessive at all.

After getting in the car, the rolls-royce headed straight for a private estate.

At this time, the entrance of the estate was already crowded with luxury cars.

After Xiao Li's car stopped, he took out the invitation.

Then he and Li Zhiyan smoothly entered the estate.

Once inside the villa, Li Zhiyan saw Teacher Ma from afar, speaking animatedly.

And some wealthy people next to him were listening to him talk about business with full conviction.

On the other side, Ma Yunteng was sitting there discreetly, conversing with a few people.

However, Li Zhiyan could tell that Ma Yunteng's face also carried some arrogance.

He hadn't yet reached that completely low-key and reserved stage.

And not far away, Wang, the richest was also engaging in lively discussions with some businessmen about the real economy.

"This is quite in line with their personas..."

As Li Zhiyan was thinking, a young man walked over towards them.

It was President Wang, who had just come of age not long ago...

At this moment, President Wang clearly didn't have much presence in such a place.

"How boring, I don't understand what they're saying. Brother, want to have a few drinks together?"

Everyone present was older, and Xiao Li was the only young person, so he wanted to make friends with Xiao Li. Anyway, anyone who could come here would definitely have a good status.

"Okay, later we young people will have a good drink."

Xiao Li also knew about President Wang's situation; Li Zhiyan had told him many things about the future.

After sitting down...

President Wang complained, "I have to say, Ma Yunteng is really amazing..."

"Recently, they don't even have to pay salaries; they just settle with virtual currency."

"This way, who knows how much cost they can save in a year."

"If my dad had this, who knows how much more money he could make."

Xiao Li softly said, "Young Master Wang, don't envy him. He'll be sanctioned soon."

"At that time, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

President Wang also kept these words in mind.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Li Zhiyan."

The two young men's way of communicating was very casual; they were all around the same age.

It felt very natural to talk.

"You are the Nanjiang Futures God!"

"Starting from scratch, and now having a cash flow of one billion, I'm impressed."

President Wang's gaze towards Xiao Li was clearly different.

They were both young people...

Compared to Li Zhiyan, he seemed like a completely useless rich second generation.

Many people nearby also came over to chat with Xiao Li.

Regardless of whether Li Zhiyan relied on ability or background, his ability to become the Nanjiang Futures God indicated his extraordinary qualities.

It was definitely right to make friends with such a young talent.

Then everyone began to praise each other and exchange contact information.

And Ma Yunteng and a few others were also attracted by the title of Nanjiang Futures God.

Teacher Ma said admiringly, "I've long heard of the Nanjiang Futures God. Starting from scratch and earning one billion, if I had this young brother's ability back then,"

"Then the entrepreneurial journey of Alibaba later wouldn't have been so difficult."

"Come, young brother, I'll toast you."

Xiao Li's vanity also swelled.

These were all well-known figures in the capital circle, and now they were toasting him.

He also quickly drank a toast with Teacher Ma.

Afterward, Ma Yunteng also walked over.

"Brother Futures God, you are truly young and promising."

"It's truly rare in the entire capital circle. Perhaps only some legendary figures on Wall Street can compare with Mr. Li in this regard."

And Wang, the richest also praised Xiao Li.

This made Xiao Li feel a surge of secret satisfaction.

Meanwhile, President Wang heard many people discussing paying salaries with virtual currency.

He also repeated Li Zhiyan's words.

Soon, many people knew about this prediction.

...

The big shots' attention on Xiao Li was brief.

After they left...

Other wealthy individuals also formed circles centered around a few people.

Xiao Li sat down and continued drinking with President Wang.

Li Zhiyan quickly noticed Zhang Xiaolong nearby, who seemed to be frowning.

Li Zhiyan had been following Zhang Xiaolong for a long time; he was the founder of WeChat.

And at this point in the world, he was in the stage of just being poached by Ma Yunteng.

He just didn't know if WeChat had been approved internally yet.

Soon, he sat over.

"Zhang Xiaolong."

Zhang Xiaolong hadn't expected to hear someone call his name here.

This made him feel very surprised.

Although he was currently a high-level executive at Tencent, in front of so many big shots, he was just an inconspicuous small character, nothing more.

Then he looked towards Li Zhiyan.

"You know me?"

"Of course, the founder of Foxmail."

"I'm a loyal user of Foxmail."

"As for the current QQ Mail, I don't like it as much."

Hearing this...

A glint flashed in Zhang Xiaolong's eyes.

He felt like he had met a kindred spirit; he hadn't expected to find his confidant in such a place.

"I didn't expect you to still be a Foxmail user. Most people have abandoned Foxmail now."

"However, the revenue-generating ability of email is completely gone now; it has basically become a tool for snatching traffic."

Li Zhiyan looked at Zhang Xiaolong in front of him.

He tentatively said, "I think so too."

"However, I think if we create a lighter chat tool, it should be able to become a powerful tool for snatching traffic."

Hearing this...

Zhang Xiaolong was clearly somewhat stunned.

A lighter chat tool, wasn't that exactly the WeChat he was thinking of making now?

"You also think a new lightweight chat tool has potential?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Zhiyan seemed to ask somewhat strangely, "Brother, are you working on this social tool recently?"

Zhang Xiaolong looked around and then asked in a low voice, "Brother, what companies have you invested in now?"

Li Zhiyan pointed to Xiao Li, who was chatting with President Wang not far away.

"So you're with that gentleman. That gentleman is truly remarkable."

"To be able to earn so much money in the futures market in such a short time."

At this moment, in Zhang Xiaolong's heart, Li Zhiyan had become somewhat profound and unfathomable.

"To be honest, I'm currently planning to develop an instant messaging software."

"My idea is to create a simple and pure chat software."

"But there's a lot of internal disagreement in the company right now, because starting a new project definitely wastes a lot of time and money."

"There are many dissenting voices in the company, so I'm very worried about whether WeChat can be approved."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyan's heart also pounded.

He hadn't expected WeChat to be facing such a situation.

Could it even be stillborn?

Of course, Li Zhiyan knew very well that WeChat would eventually be approved and receive strong support from Tencent.

It was just that the process was a bit convoluted.

"I think it might be a bit difficult. Tencent itself is about to suffer a heavy blow."

Li Zhiyan's words caught Zhang Xiaolong's attention.

He was more inclined to believe that the Futures God's success was due to his background.

After all, these things could be manipulated artificially. If it were based on his own market insights, that would simply be too terrifying.

"What you said, is it true...?"

"Brother, just wait and see."

Looking at the enigmatic Li Zhiyan, a bad premonition arose in Zhang Xiaolong's heart.

If...

What Li Zhiyan said was true, then it indicated one thing.

This Mr. Li's information channels and background far surpassed all the big shots in the capital circle present.

"Brother, if there are obstacles to WeChat's approval within Tencent,"

"You can consider coming to Mr. Li."

"We can offer a few conditions to you."

"Absolutely no interference with WeChat's operations."

"We won't add any messy things to WeChat."

"In addition, we'll give you a certain share of equity and guarantee sufficient capital injection."

"Ensuring that WeChat's operations will not be interfered with by external capital."

Hearing these two conditions...

Zhang Xiaolong's heart couldn't help but be moved.

Although Ma Yunteng treated him well, the conditions offered by Li Zhiyan were too tempting.

If he could always control WeChat.

Then WeChat would always be exactly as he imagined it.

Of course...

He was also afraid of one point: if Tencent was going to have problems as he said, then even if his WeChat was successfully approved,

It would still take a long time to be released.

If they used their cash flow to create another WeChat, then it would be troublesome later...

"This matter, let's talk about it later. Let's exchange contact information."

Li Zhiyan called Xiao Li over, and they exchanged contact information with Zhang Xiaolong.

He could tell that Zhang Xiaolong was already tempted.

Whether they could swallow the future trillion-dollar WeChat depended on the subsequent developments.

...

After Li Zhiyan and Xiao Li left.

Xiao Li, who had drunk a lot of wine, said excitedly, "Do we really have a chance to take down WeChat?"

"Of course. This time, you've made a name for yourself in the capital circle. Once that side explodes, many people will naturally rush to find you."

"After all, they think their background isn't as strong as yours."

"Of course, in a few more years, their perception will become a reality."

The future figures Li Zhiyan invested in are now being promoted very quickly.

And these people are constantly becoming Xiao Li's background.

"Then, let's watch the subsequent developments."

Li Zhiyan nodded.

"Next, we still need to quickly generate more cash flow."

"Only then can we stand in an unbeatable position in future investments."

After chatting with Mr. Li for a while, he helped Mr. Li find several good market trends.

Only then did he return.

When Li Zhiyan woke up, he saw Wu Yuexian standing in his room.

“Wu Yuexian, you’re here.”

Li Zhiyan sat up. Having just woken up, he wanted to eat the meal Zhao Manman made, but then remembered that Zhao Manman should have gone out by now.

This made him feel a little nostalgic for his mother.

“Mm, you’re awake. I made you food, go eat.”

After Li Zhiyan got up, Wu Yuexian also quickly turned away.

She really seemed to have overlooked some issues.

She hurried to the dining room, waiting for Li Zhiyan to come eat.

After Li Zhiyan finished washing up, he still felt a bit unaccustomed.

When Li Zhiyan arrived, Liu Xiaoyun was also waiting there.

Li Zhiyan originally wanted to test Wu Yuexian, but realized now wasn’t a good opportunity.

Sitting down to eat, Li Zhiyan felt that Liu Xiaoyun’s gaze towards him was a bit off.

This woman had looked down on him so much at first.

Could it be that she was interested in him now…?

However, although Liu Xiaoyun’s beauty was goddess-level, there was still a certain gap compared to his sisters, so Li Zhiyan didn’t think too much about it.

After breakfast…

Li Zhiyan took Wu Yuexian and Liu Xiaoyun to the company.

“This is your company, it’s so big…”

Upon arriving at the company, Liu Xiaoyun’s tone was filled with awe. She looked at Li Zhiyan, truly feeling that Li Zhiyan was like a god.

To have a net worth of one billion in such a short time.

Li Zhiyan was truly too amazing.

“Sister Xiaoyun, you can pick a position you like later.”

At this moment, Hu Mengke walked out of the company.

“Boss.”

Today, Hu Mengke was still wearing black stockings paired with Valentino.

Upon seeing Li Zhiyan arrive, her beautiful eyes were also full of radiance.

Would she be able to have some fun later?

Some things didn’t matter if one hadn’t experienced them, but now Hu Mengke had fully grasped the intricacies of it.

“Xiao Yan, is this your secretary?”

Liu Xiaoyun asked.

“Mm, she’s usually in charge of many things in the company.”

Li Zhiyan clearly understood the principle of ‘the secretary handles everything’.

When he arrived, Hu Mengke was not idle.

Wu Yuexian looked at Hu Mengke, and many thoughts couldn’t help but arise in her mind.

This kid’s values were now quite unconventional.

However, given his ability, he could indeed do so.

This beautiful secretary, I wonder…

Wu Yuexian didn’t dare to think further, because she found that when she thought about these things, she would feel a surge of jealousy.

Was she, perhaps, jealous?

Afterward, Li Zhiyan arranged the work for Liu Xiaoyun and Wu Yuexian.

He also provided Wu Yuexian with a private office.

And Liu Xiaoyun’s office conditions were also very generous.

Looking at her new office environment…

Liu Xiaoyun happily said, “Thank you, little brother.”

She wanted to kiss Li Zhiyan, but seeing Wu Yuexian nearby, she gave up on the idea.

And then…

Li Zhiyan and Wu Yuexian went to her new office.

Wu Yuexian looked at Li Zhiyan closing the door, feeling an inexplicable sense of nervousness.

“Wu Yuexian, how do you feel about your office?”

Wu Yuexian sat at the desk, looking at the view outside the window.

She replied, “It’s very good. I will manage your company’s affairs well from now on.”

Li Zhiyan slowly walked towards Wu Yuexian.

Then, he gently took Wu Yuexian’s hand.

This made Wu Yuexian feel a little flustered.

“Don’t look at me so lustfully.”

“I’ll get angry.”

Li Zhiyan said somewhat innocently, “This isn’t lustful; this is a look of deep affection.”

“Wu Yuexian, let’s be together…”

Li Zhiyan asked tentatively.

Their relationship with Wu Yuexian had already returned to its previous state.

So Li Zhiyan also intended to test whether he could advance their relationship with Wu Yuexian.

“Impossible!”

Wu Yuexian immediately firmly shook off Li Zhiyan’s hand.

“Why not…? I know you like me.”

Li Zhiyan’s words made Wu Yuexian feel very guilty, as if she had been exposed.

Of course, she liked Li Zhiyan in her heart.

But the nature of that liking, she couldn’t quite explain.

That kind of relational transformation made Wu Yuexian feel unacceptable.

“I’ve never thought of you as a man. In my heart, you’re just a little kid.”

Li Zhiyan hugged Wu Yuexian from behind.

“Really…?”

Feeling Li Zhiyan’s change, Wu Yuexian felt very flustered at this moment.

But her instincts also seemed uncontrollable.

“Let go of me!”

Wu Yuexian pinched Li Zhiyan hard.

Only then did Li Zhiyan let go of her.

“Wu Yuexian, I think you’re lying to yourself…”

“It’s been so many years, how could I not understand you?”

“Actually, being together wouldn’t affect anything.”

“You never planned to get married anyway, and you haven’t liked any guy all these years.”

“It’s better to be with me.”

Every word of Li Zhiyan struck Wu Yuexian’s heart.

Did she truly not want to be with Li Zhiyan in her heart?

“Impossible…”

“We can’t be together.”

Li Zhiyan came in front of Wu Yuexian, then cupped her face.

“Wu Yuexian…”

“There are still so many years ahead, what a wonderful night it is.”

“Do you really want to spend it alone and bored…?”

“I think life should follow one’s heart, instead of regretting wasted time only when old. By then, many things…”

“It will be completely too late. I don’t want to think about anything; I just want to be with you.”

Li Zhiyan’s words were like poison, constantly corroding Wu Yuexian’s soul.

She really wanted to be with Li Zhiyan immediately.

And then play some sports together in this office.

But very quickly, shame and various emotions brought her back to her senses.

How could she tolerate him being with her when he was already with Ji Zhiting…

Thinking of this, she pushed Li Zhiyan away.

“Enough, stop talking, Li Zhiyan… I never realized before how shameless you are.”

Li Zhiyan could tell that Wu Yuexian actually had such thoughts in her heart.

In the short term, he really couldn’t push too hard.

If he pushed too hard and drove her away from the Magic City, it would be a loss.

Anyway, he would have many opportunities to test Wu Yuexian every day in the future.

“Then I’ll go first, Wu Yuexian, think about it carefully…”

“I truly don’t want to have any regrets with you in this life.”

After speaking, Li Zhiyan left Wu Yuexian’s office.

Looking at Li Zhiyan’s retreating figure, Wu Yuexian felt an extreme complexity in her heart.

Did this kid really want to be with her that much?

She could feel that he really wanted to repeat what happened that day.

Sitting at her desk, Wu Yuexian was somewhat distraught.

Her mind kept replaying Li Zhiyan’s words.

Should she seize the fleeting time of life, cast aside everything, and enjoy that happy time with Li Zhiyan?

Actually, forgetting everything, sometimes, isn’t so bad, right?

…

After leaving Wu Yuexian’s office.

Li Zhiyan went directly to his own office.

Hu Mengke directly locked the door from the inside.

“Baby, you’re finally here…”

Now when no one else was around…

Hu Mengke had also gotten used to this form of address, and Li Zhiyan’s way of addressing her also made her feel very shy.

Hu Mengke sat on the sofa, her black-stockinged legs pressed together, a truly beautiful sight.

Li Zhiyan also admired her Valentino high heels.

Indeed, it was very beautiful, but the angle of appreciation still needed to be diversified.

Only then could the appreciation of art be perfectly carried out.

Then everything was very natural.

…

In the time that followed.

Li Zhiyan kept trying to test Wu Yuexian.

But Wu Yuexian had always been very resistant, just like Zhou Mengmeng…

Some things they simply couldn’t accept.

They were fundamentally different from more realistic women like Hu Mengke.

Time passed peacefully for a while.

Li Zhiyan also missed Zhao Manman very much in his heart.

He called Zhao Manman, and the call was quickly answered.

“Mom… When are you coming back? I miss your cooking.”

“Xiao Yan, Mom might be a while longer. Don’t worry, Mom is doing well out here.”

The mother and son chatted, and Li Zhiyan felt as if he had returned to a time not long ago.

After hanging up the phone…

Li Zhiyan received a call from Yang Xintao.

“Sister Song.”

Li Zhiyan knew that Yang Xintao preferred to be called Song Yu now.

“Xiao Yan, Auntie has a friend from her hometown who runs a tea business. I’ll introduce you. In the future, you’ll probably have business collaborations. She’s a Nanjiang beauty, gentle and charming.”

Li Zhiyan knew Yang Xintao wouldn’t introduce him to just anyone.

He didn’t hesitate…

And went to the teahouse Yang Xintao had arranged.

When Li Zhiyan pushed open the private room door.

He saw an exquisitely gentle, stunning woman.

She was wearing a very well-fitting qipao, perfectly showcasing its beauty, as if the qipao was made just for her.

And beneath the qipao, a pair of snow-white, beautiful legs were incredibly eye-catching.

Previously, Li Zhiyan had never seen such fair, beautiful legs.

This woman…

He almost froze there…

Before Li Zhiyan could speak…

Yang Xintao closed the door and eagerly introduced, “Xiao Yan, Auntie will introduce you.”

“This is Auntie’s best friend, Chi Wanwan.”

“She’s in the tea business. Although she looks young and beautiful, like she’s only twenty-four or twenty-five, she’s actually a little over forty.”

Li Zhiyan was somewhat speechless, and Chi Wanwan seemed very shy.

Her pretty face was flushed hot.

After a while, the private room became a bit stiff for a moment.

After a while, Chi Wanwan proactively stood up and came to Li Zhiyan’s side. On her forehead, there was a tiny black mole.

“Mr. Li, my name is Chi Wanwan. You can call me Sister Wanwan.”

Li Zhiyan extended his hand and shook Chi Wanwan’s hand.

Chi Wanwan was about 1.6 meters tall, and her eyes and demeanor were very gentle, the kind of very typical Nanjiang woman’s gentleness, also carrying a faint, intellectual elegance, noble and aloof.

Li Zhiyan had always liked such gentle women from Nanjiang.

Looking at Chi Wanwan in front of him…

At this moment, Li Zhiyan felt as if he couldn’t stand steady; she…

He felt as if his blood was flowing faster.

One encounter… surpasses countless in the human world.

Special chapter, everyone don’t worry… I have drafts from before, it’s very short and won’t affect the main text…

And then… I hope everyone can understand.
