131: Clothing store, 18 and 41 years old madness

He carried Jiang Xian into the small room.

Li Zhiyan's heart was filled with excitement; he and Aunt Jiang were finally going to achieve their goal.

"Master's Wife..."

"Don't call me Master's Wife anymore. I've been divorced for a long time; I'm not your Master's Wife anymore."

"Master's Wife, it's just a title, it doesn't mean anything else..."

After carrying Jiang Xian into the small room.

Li Zhiyan discovered that Jiang Xian had already bought the 'chewing gum'.

Clearly, this was prepared in advance.

This made him even happier; Aunt Jiang had actually long been prepared to break through everything with him, she just hadn't made up her mind.

With the private lending organization's debt collectors showing up tonight, Jiang Xian had completely lowered her defenses and intended to be with him.

"Xiao Yan... use it well."

"Don't get me pregnant."

Li Zhiyan gave an affirmative hum and then placed Jiang Xian on the bed.

...

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xian lay in Li Zhiyan's arms, listening to his heartbeat, the flush on her pretty face not yet faded.

At this moment, Jiang Xian felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie feels like she's dreaming."

Li Zhiyan had been calling her Master's Wife earlier, but now he switched back to calling her Aunt Jiang.

That was just a joke, like how he called Aunt Fang 'Mom'.

"I feel like I'm dreaming too, Aunt Jiang. We didn't really have much interaction before."

Although Jiang Xian used to go to the school, she and Li Zhiyan only had a little intersection; Jiang Xian had helped him, and that was it.

To Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian was a distant, mature auntie.

But now, Aunt Jiang was lying in his arms, having completely become his woman.

"If we hadn't met when you went to the Internet cafe, so many things wouldn't have happened later."

"You..."

Jiang Xian touched Li Zhiyan's face and said softly, "You even dared to add my QQ. You're truly audacious."

Jiang Xian thought about it; Li Zhiyan really was quite bold. He dared to add her QQ back then, and at the time, she hadn't thought much of it and added him.

From then on, the two of them started chatting. If they hadn't chatted on QQ, all these things wouldn't have happened.

"Who told you to be so beautiful? Back then, I just wanted to become 'forget-the-years' friends with you."

"Now it counts as a dream come true."

"Aunt Jiang, actually, I used to have some adolescent fantasies about you."

"I just didn't expect those fantasies to come true now."

Kissing Jiang Xian's face, Li Zhiyan's arm holding her tightened slightly.

When most people are young, they have fantasies about more mature women; after all, their style, dress, and temperament exude a sexy feeling.

However, Li Zhiyan's thoughts had completely come true.

"You child..."

Holding Li Zhiyan, Jiang Xian felt happy yet very shy at the same time.

After being with Li Zhiyan, she finally knew what a real man among men was like.

"Aunt Jiang, let's prepare quickly and have a child soon."

"I want to get you pregnant quickly."

As long as he worked hard, he could not only get Aunt Jiang pregnant but also keep her forever young. Thinking about it, Li Zhiyan felt this was a benevolent deed.

"You want Auntie to get pregnant that much?"

Li Zhiyan said softly, "Mhm, of course."

"Aunt Jiang, I think we should have a child, otherwise this life might have some regrets."

Li Zhiyan's voice was very serious; he felt that he and Jiang Xian shouldn't have any regrets.

Jiang Xian's pretty face began to heat up again.

Right now, she and he were still using 'chewing gum'. If they were really going to get pregnant...

"Xiao Yan, Auntie's 'relative' is about to visit in a couple of days. Give Auntie a little time to think about it, okay?"

"But Auntie promises, I will definitely give you a child."

Hearing Jiang Xian's words, Li Zhiyan was very moved.

He gently kissed Jiang Xian's red lips again.

Then the two of them embraced and kissed, only separating after a long time.

"Aunt Jiang, you agreed so quickly."

"Yes, Xiao Yan. Auntie has nothing left in this life, only you."

"From now on, everything of Auntie's is yours."

Jiang Xian held Li Zhiyan tightly.

Then, her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of shock. Xiao Yan's energy was just too good.

...

In Bao Xunwen's home.

At this moment, Liu Meizhen felt a bit restless, tossing and turning.

Breastfeeding her daughter, she felt her hormones constantly flowing.

Under the light.

Liu Meizhen looked even more like Liu Xiaoli, the mother of the star Liu Yifei.

However, her bust size far exceeded Liu Xiaoli's.

Coming to the mirror, she looked at her fair, pretty face.

The incident on the bus kept echoing in her mind.

Because of her emotional fluctuations on the bus, she had leaked milk. Being in her lactation period, she would surely receive some strange looks on the road.

Or suffer some harassment, but after Li Zhiyan appeared, he took off his shirt for her to wear.

That handsome and graceful appearance.

It left a very deep impression on Liu Meizhen's heart, as well as the terrifying physical strength Li Zhiyan showed during the turn.

If he were to confront her, she definitely wouldn't be able to beat him.

"Xiao Yan..."

She softly murmured the name Xiao Yan.

Liu Meizhen found that her milk supply was simply inexhaustible.

Her daughter was already completely full.

Left with no choice, Liu Meizhen picked up a bowl from the side and manually expressed the milk to clear it. For someone in lactation, having too much stock was also a kind of trouble.

...

The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, Jiang Xian was already sitting in front of the vanity mirror putting on makeup.

After what happened last night.

Jiang Xian's heart and body completely belonged to Li Zhiyan.

Although she was very beautiful and her skin was in good condition, in front of the person she loved, Jiang Xian still hoped to look even better.

And her peripheral vision would occasionally glance at the seven wrappers in the trash can.

She basically hadn't rested at all during the first half of last night.

"Aunt Jiang."

"Do you feel like your skin has gotten better?"

Li Zhiyan asked softly. Jiang Xian also seemed to have noticed something; her skin seemed very supple, and her overall state was much better.

"It seems so."

"Xiao Yan, it's really magical. What's going on?"

Li Zhiyan said with a smile, "It might be the nourishment of love. If we get closer more often in the future, you'll become even younger."

Li Zhiyan felt more and more that the system was powerful; otherwise, the aunties' youth really wouldn't have many years left.

"Xiao Yan, you rest a bit longer. Auntie will go cook for you."

"Mhm..."

Lying comfortably on Jiang Xian's small sleeping pillow, Li Zhiyan opened the system.

The system mission was already completed.

And now Li Zhiyan's savings had reached 1.6 million.

"I'm not far from the three million goal."

"Once the Internet cafe mission is done, having an extra hundred thousand yuan in fixed monthly income will make it even faster."

"The system is getting stronger and stronger."

"A new mission should be released soon."

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the system released a new mission.

"New mission released."

"Mission 1: Tomorrow, Yin Xueyang will accidentally be bumped by a girl and fall into the river outside the school."

"Please go and rescue Yin Xueyang."

"Mission Reward."

"100,000 yuan in cash."

"Swimming skill being learned."

Li Zhiyan didn't expect Yin Xueyang would have such bad luck. Thinking about how that woman had given him a disciplinary demerit.

Li Zhiyan felt very much looking forward to tomorrow's events.

Tomorrow, he would have to teach that woman a good lesson.

"Mission 2."

"The night after tomorrow is Mom's best friend Wu Qingxian's birthday."

"On that day, Zhang Honglei will hit a fire hydrant while turning in a borrowed Audi A4."

"So he will go home and use a suicide threat to extort seven thousand yuan from Wu Qingxian."

"Wu Qingxian, who made a bowl of longevity noodles, will be heartbroken."

"Please go help her celebrate her birthday and give her a gift."

"Mission reward: 100,000 yuan in cash."

The release of two consecutive missions made Li Zhiyan's mood a bit complex.

The daytime mission felt satisfying, but the nighttime mission looked a bit sad.

It really wasn't easy for Aunt Wu to raise a child alone; Li Zhiyan knew this better than anyone.

But this Zhang Honglei was immersed in the trap of vanity and couldn't pull himself out.

Every day he only thought about how to get or trick money out of Aunt Wu.

Thinking about it, Li Zhiyan felt it wasn't worth it for Aunt Wu.

However, he still liked this kind of 'delivering a mom to the door' scenario.

Aunt Wu was his favorite elder, so he wanted to take all of Aunt Wu's maternal love for himself. In the future, only he would be able to feel Aunt Wu's love.

Not long after, Jiang Xian finished making breakfast, and after washing up, Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian sat together to eat.

"Aunt Jiang, in the future, I can come find you whenever I'm free at noon."

Hearing Li Zhiyan's words, Jiang Xian was a bit shy and also a bit happy.

There were basically no customers at noon.

It was very quiet for two or three hours. What did Li Zhiyan want to do by coming over?

He'd surely want to work on getting her pregnant...

"Xiao Yan, Auntie's 'relative' seems to have arrived."

Suddenly, Jiang Xian's expression changed slightly as she spoke. It seemed they had overdone it a bit, so it arrived slightly early.

"Looks like the pregnancy thing is out of the question."

Li Zhiyan seemed a bit disappointed.

"Xiao Yan, we protected ourselves so well, how could I get pregnant? If you want a child, wait seven days."

"In the future, we won't use protection. If I get pregnant, we'll have the baby."

The more Jiang Xian thought about it, the more she understood. She had always wanted a second child, but hadn't been able to fulfill that wish.

But now, Li Zhiyan could completely fulfill her wish.

"Good, in the future I'll come often to 'hand over the public grain' to you."

Jiang Xian felt increasingly shy.

After Li Zhiyan left the clothing store, she pulled the rolling shutter back down. A wave of drowsiness hit her, and the images from yesterday kept echoing in her mind.

Everything from the past was over, but the life waiting for her next was quite good.

Looking at everything in the cozy small room, Jiang Xian knew.

In the future, there would be traces of her and Li Zhiyan's hormones everywhere here.

Her life would be very, very full and satisfying.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie loves you..."

"Auntie misses you..."

"In the future, Auntie will tolerate everything about you."

Thinking of Li Zhiyan's face, Jiang Xian fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, Li Zhiyan went to the gym on Commercial Street.

He found that the gym had already started moving things out.

This made Li Zhiyan realize that his Internet cafe was about to open. When the time came, that dog Li Shiyu could play at the Internet cafe again.

Li Zhiyan was naturally very much looking forward to this Internet cafe he got for free.

Throughout the entire morning, Li Zhiyan was still chatting with Su Mengchen.

At noon, he went to Han Xueying's office. After helping Aunt Han massage her silk-stockinged legs and ankles, he successfully got the afternoon off.

"Xiao Yan..."

"Is there still no progress on the disciplinary demerit?"

After agreeing to Li Zhiyan's request for leave, Han Xueying asked with concern.

"It's fine, Aunt Han. You don't need to worry about this."

"I've already found a way to solve it."

"Good..."

Looking at Li Zhiyan, who had just put down her leg, Han Xueying really liked him more and more. Last Sunday...

He also frequently went to her home to keep her company, patiently massaging her legs every time; he really was an exceptionally filial child.

"Then I'll be going first, Aunt Han."

"Alright."

Watching Li Zhiyan's retreating figure, Han Xueying had many thoughts swirling in her mind. Just then, a phone call came in.

It was a call from her brother-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I'm coming to Wan City to work."

"Is it okay if I stay at your place?"

Han Xueying immediately rejected her brother-in-law's request. This brother-in-law was her Mother-in-law's late-born son, and he was only 27 and unmarried.

She was currently a widow living alone.

No matter how she looked at it, him wanting to live with her was clearly very inappropriate.

Therefore, it was impossible for her to let her brother-in-law stay with her.

"No, brother, it's not very convenient for the two of us to live together right now."

The person on the other end of the line clearly had no intention of giving up.

He continued to try and persuade Han Xueying, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

After refusing a few more times, Han Xueying hung up the phone.

...

After lunch, seeing that the scheduled time hadn't arrived yet, Li Zhiyan went to Wang Shangyan's supermarket. At this moment, Wang Shangyan was busy.

Upon seeing Li Zhiyan arrive, she was clearly very delighted.

"Aunt Wang, why haven't you been at the supermarket lately?"

Looking at Wang Shangyan's graceful figure, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontrollable sense of longing in his heart.

Although Aunt Wang was a bit pungent towards others...

When facing him, Aunt Wang had always been very gentle; she truly doted on him as a junior.

"Auntie's mother fell ill out of town, so I went to take care of her for a few days."

"I just got back today."

Wang Shangyan's weary appearance made Li Zhiyan feel a bit distressed for her.

Regrettably, he couldn't use the Youth Restoration Technique right now to help Aunt Wang look a bit younger.

"Aunt Wang, you've worked hard."

Taking Wang Shangyan's hand, Li Zhiyan spoke with a tone of heartache, a sentiment that Wang Shangyan felt quite clearly.

"Xiao Yan, it's hot outside. Go to the back room to cool off."

Remembering how Li Zhiyan had helped her resolve the supermarket issue last time, Wang Shangyan still felt very moved.

After the two of them entered the back room, Wang Shangyan inexplicably felt a bit hot and bothered as the memory of kissing Li Zhiyan surfaced in her mind.

Back then, her ex-husband Liu Huan was still outside, while she was inside letting Li Zhiyan touch her legs and kiss her; their embrace had even been perfectly seamless.

Thinking about it made Wang Shangyan feel embarrassed.

"Aunt Wang, I plan to open another Internet cafe near the school."

After sitting down, Li Zhiyan began talking to Wang Shangyan about the Internet cafe. The concept of an 'Internet cafe' was still a very, very new concept in 2010.

Because this concept had only been proposed in 2009.

"Isn't it an Internet bar?"

Wang Shangyan found it strange.

"To put it simply, an Internet cafe is a high-end version of an Internet bar. This concept only started appearing last year."

"What an Internet cafe focuses on is higher-end machines and more attentive service."

Li Zhiyan gave a rough explanation.

"So I plan to have you come with me later to negotiate the rent."

"Alright, Auntie will go with you."

Wang Shangyan was more experienced in such matters.

At the same time, a brilliant light shone in her beautiful eyes. This child was truly an exceptionally talented young man; at only 18, he not only had his own Internet bar and milk tea shop but was also moving into a new field.

"Aunt Wang, the supermarket's business hasn't been affected, has it?"

When Li Zhiyan brought this up...

A touch of warmth appeared in Wang Shangyan's beautiful eyes.

"Mhm, the students all know those thugs did it on purpose. They didn't just commit extortion, but also poisoning; each of them will have to spend a few years in prison."

"Fortunately, I had you, otherwise Auntie would have been in big trouble."

Wang Shangyan said gently while holding Li Zhiyan's hand.

Aunt Wang, who was usually very pungent, was always so soft-spoken in front of him, giving Li Zhiyan an inexplicable sense of achievement.

"Those people got what they deserved."

"Aunt Wang, I missed you."

"If I don't see you for a few days, I miss you."

After they finished chatting, Li Zhiyan buried his head in Wang Shangyan's chest. Smelling the fragrance on Aunt Wang's body, Li Zhiyan closed his eyes.

"You really are such a mama's boy..."

"Always acting like a child. Auntie missed you too."

Saying this, Wang Shangyan gently kissed Li Zhiyan's cheek.

"Aunt Wang... I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

Li Zhiyan's sudden words gave Wang Shangyan a fright. Why would Li Zhiyan suddenly say such a thing?

"What are you talking about, Xiao Yan? How can Auntie kiss you?"

"But, Aunt Wang, didn't we do it before?"

Li Zhiyan's words made Wang Shangyan's pretty face turn slightly hot. This boy really knew how to bring up awkward subjects.

But it was true; her emotions had gotten the better of her at the time.

After Li Zhiyan kissed her, she had agreed and even responded to him.

"Xiao Yan, that time Auntie did it to thank you."

"And Auntie was a bit impulsive then."

Li Zhiyan held Wang Shangyan's waist and said, "But, Aunt Wang, why can't we kiss?"

"Xiao Yan, kissing is something only couples or spouses do."

"Auntie is your elder; I can't kiss you. Kissing involves a romantic relationship."

"Aunt Wang, actually I don't think kissing is necessarily something only couples can do. It can also be an expression of affection."

"For example, because I like you, I'm just tasting some of your saliva."

"It's just a way to express how much I like you."

"That's all it is."

Wang Shangyan said somewhat tremulously, "Is... is that so..."

"Yeah, I saw it online."

"When we kiss, you just need to understand it as a way of expressing feelings."

"And that's it."

Before Wang Shangyan could respond further, Li Zhiyan kissed her red lips.

"Aunt Wang, I like you..."

"That's why I'm kissing you. This is just a way to express love for an elder; it has nothing to do with romance."

"Mmph... Xiao Yan, don't..."

Although she wanted to refute Li Zhiyan, it was too late. Having had the experience of kissing before, Wang Shangyan subconsciously began to respond to Li Zhiyan.

It was only after ten minutes that the two separated, and Li Zhiyan still seemed a bit reluctant.

"Xiao Yan, you're too presumptuous."

Despite saying this, Wang Shangyan found that she simply couldn't get angry with Li Zhiyan.

She truly liked him a lot in her heart; this child had helped her so much.

"Aunt Wang, please agree to kiss me from now on, okay? I just like you as an elder; I'm not treating you as a woman."

Li Zhiyan spoke very seriously.

However, he knew that 'deceiving oneself while covering one's ears' required another person's cooperation.

Just like how Aunt Fang had played along with him before...

If Aunt Wang didn't cooperate, then he wouldn't have a chance later on.

"Mhm..."

"Fine, Xiao Yan. But you must remember, Auntie is only kissing you because I like you as a junior. You can't treat Auntie as a woman, and you can't have other thoughts about me."

"Understand?"

Wang Shangyan was very aware of the age gap between her and Li Zhiyan.

It was impossible between her and him.

"Alright, Aunt Wang. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Before leaving, Li Zhiyan kissed Wang Shangyan's red lips once more.

"Xiao Yan..."

Wang Shangyan didn't go back on what she had promised Li Zhiyan and responded actively and passionately.

A few minutes later, Li Zhiyan left the back room, and Wang Shangyan's face was completely burning.

Heavens, she had actually agreed to such a request from Li Zhiyan.

But, she and he just liked each other as elder and junior; kissing was just a way to express that liking, and that was all...

Suddenly, Wang Shangyan thought of something: Li Zhiyan was pursuing Gu Wanzhou.

He seemed to like women who were twenty years older than him. Could it be that she was liked by him in that way too?

As she thought about it, Wang Shangyan looked at her fingers and then closed her eyes.

...

The October weather was hot during the day and a bit cold at night.

Li Zhiyan went out wearing only a shirt.

He went to the riverbank where Yin Xueyang was about to fall in. By this time, he had finished learning the swimming skill.

Li Zhiyan, who was originally a landlubber, now had the swimming level of an athlete.

Coupled with the enhancement from his title, which gave him an extra source of power in the water, his swimming ability was definitely outstanding!

"If I went to the Olympics, I could probably win a championship."

"But using a thruster in the Olympics would probably be considered a violation."

"But if it's innate, it shouldn't count as a violation."

Li Zhiyan's mind wandered with random thoughts.

After arriving at the riverbank, he stood under a willow tree and started chatting with Su Mengchen.

"Chenchen, on Sunday, let me take you out to have some fun."

After the previous incident in Su City, Su Mengchen was clearly much more cheerful now; not only did she talk more when chatting with him...

But she was also much more natural when he went to find her for dinner after school.

Su Mengchen: "Okay."

"Then on Sunday, I'll go to your house to find you."

Li Zhiyan also wanted to see how his Mother-in-law was doing.

In Li Zhiyan's heart, Shen Rongfei ultimately played an irreplaceable role that other women couldn't; she really was no different from a second mother to him, it's just that her life had been too bitter in his previous life.

So he had to take good care of her.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan also sent a message to Fang Zhiya.

"Aunt Fang."

"Is there any reaction in your belly yet?"

"I've handed over so much 'grain' to you."

Fang Zhiya, who was at the company, suddenly received Li Zhiyan's message. Upon opening it, she hurriedly minimized the chat window...

After checking that the nearby colleagues weren't paying attention to her, Fang Zhiya replied: "No reaction. Even if I really am pregnant, it wouldn't be this fast."

Li Zhiyan: "Then we'll continue working hard tonight."

"Okay."

Thinking about how Li Zhiyan worked hard for several hours every day, Fang Zhiya felt a bit guilty.

Her constitution made it difficult to conceive; she hoped she could get pregnant as soon as possible.

...

While acting as a time management master and chatting with many people...

Li Zhiyan was thinking about what birthday gift to give Aunt Wu.

"Right, I'll give her a phone."

Remembering the envious look in Aunt Wu's eyes when he bought that pink phone for his mom, Li Zhiyan had his answer.

At that time, she must have really, really hoped...

That Zhang Honglei could also give her such a birthday gift. Perhaps it didn't need to be so valuable; as long as it carried Zhang Honglei's sentiment, even if it was just some randomly folded stars.

Aunt Wu would surely be very happy. After all, what a mother cared about was whether her son loved her in his heart, not how expensive the gift was.

But from Zhang Honglei's performance, Aunt Wu was clearly utterly disappointed in him.

Even though tomorrow was Aunt Wu's birthday, he was only thinking about extorting a sum of money to cover his losses and spending.

He hadn't considered Aunt Wu's feelings at all.

"After completing the task in a bit."

"I'll go buy a phone."

"Aunt Wu is just like my mother; I must take good care of her, show her twenty percent more filial piety, and look after her well."

As he was thinking, Li Zhiyan's mind began to wander.

By the river, a foxy mature woman wearing a low-cut top and a miniskirt walked toward him; from a distance, her proud bust and stunning, perky buttocks were visible.

Coupled with her snow-white legs and tall figure, she was so attractive that one couldn't look away.

"I have to say, even though Yin Xueyang is quite a wicked woman, her looks and figure are beyond reproach."

"Especially those perky buttocks..."

Li Zhiyan marveled, though he reminded himself that this person was an enemy.

Therefore, Li Zhiyan planned to give her a hard time later.

"But this woman's aura is truly seductive."

She also had a foxy face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of soul-stirring, charming large eyes.

However, Aunt Shen gave off a feeling of being glamorous yet dignified.

In contrast, Yin Xueyang's aura was purely seductive, nothing more.

"Perhaps this is the difference in upbringing."

Li Zhiyan thought to himself.

From a distance, Yin Xueyang also noticed Li Zhiyan. Encountering him outside the school clearly made her somewhat uneasy.

Although her social influence was obviously incomparable to that of an eighteen-year-old kid, in a situation like this, if he went crazy and wanted to beat her up...

No matter how great her influence was, it would be useless.

"Hello, Director Yin."

After Yin Xueyang reached Li Zhiyan's side, he took the initiative to greet her.

Originally, Yin Xueyang had intended for them to pass each other by with a tacit understanding and not say a word, but to her surprise, Li Zhiyan actually greeted her.

Didn't he know that the disciplinary action on his record was something she had intentionally imposed on him?

Or was he truly so stupid that he had no idea she would make it impossible for him to graduate in the future?

But he didn't look like that kind of person.

"Mm."

Yin Xueyang gave a faint nod, and Li Zhiyan followed along beside her. At this moment, he could smell the faint scent of perfume on her.

"Director Yin, why did you give me such a disciplinary mark? Don't you know that this will make it very difficult for me to earn credits and graduate later?"

Li Zhiyan asked as he walked beside Yin Xueyang.

Yin Xueyang didn't realize yet that the roles of prey and hunter had quietly swapped; Li Zhiyan found this conversation quite interesting.

Yin Xueyang was a bit worried that Li Zhiyan was secretly recording them. As a mature woman who had experienced many things, she knew very well that traps could be anywhere in this society.

"You assaulted Zhang Honglei; this is the punishment you deserve."

Yin Xueyang spoke flawlessly, leaving Li Zhiyan no room to catch her in a mistake.

Li Zhiyan found it a bit amusing; this woman was truly vicious.

She had quietly saddled him with a disciplinary mark and insisted that he had assaulted Zhang Honglei.

However, the reality was that Zhang Honglei had tried to hit him, and he had simply kicked him back.

It couldn't even be considered a fight.

But for the sake of her son, Yin Qiang...

Yin Xueyang had not hesitated to retaliate against him.

"You know I didn't do it."

"Director Yin."

"This matter has nothing to do with me. You're just retaliating against me for your son's sake, and you probably have more tricks waiting for me, don't you?"

"I think this kind of behavior is very poor. it doesn't fit your status as an elder."

"You're in your forties, yet you use such methods against an eighteen-year-old kid like me. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Yin Xueyang looked at Li Zhiyan and felt a trace of pity; the boy must have come specifically to beg her to remove the disciplinary mark.

However, once she thought of the scene of her son cursing Li Zhiyan...

That soft-hearted feeling vanished in an instant.

She had to satisfy her son's demands. Since he had been wronged, she naturally had to help her son deal with him.

"All of this is your own doing. It's useless to beg me."

"You're an adult now; you have to pay the price for your mistakes."

Looking at this unreasonable woman, Li Zhiyan felt a bit more disgust toward Yin Xueyang. People who favored their children so without principle...

In the end, Yin Qiang would surely cause a catastrophic disaster.

"Fine, Director Yin. As long as you're happy."

"Goodbye."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zhiyan stopped to the side.

Seeing that Li Zhiyan didn't chase after her, Yin Xueyang gave a cold smile.

She was determined to get Li Zhiyan expelled.

To her, that wasn't a very difficult task.

At that moment, a burly girl wearing headphones ran past from behind.

She was looking down at her phone while running.

Li Zhiyan felt a deep disgust for people like her, but today, it didn't matter. From the looks of it, this girl was going to be the one to knock Yin Xueyang into the river.

Sure enough, the girl kept running forward, and by the time she realized she had bumped into someone, it was too late.

Yin Xueyang, who was wearing high heels, was knocked directly into the river by her.

In her panic, the girl ran away without looking back.

At this moment... Yin Xueyang, now in the river, was completely terrified.

She thrashed about, but her body had already sunk below the surface.

Although she could do squats at the gym like a pro—doing three or four half-squats per second for a long time—sports were different. In the water, she could only wait to die.

The edge of this river was all vertical, poured concrete walls.

If she wanted to get out, she would have to swim over a hundred meters to reach a place with a muddy bank.

But for her, that was clearly impossible.

"Help!"

In her panic, she grabbed onto the concrete wall and lifted her head above the water to breathe.

However, because the texture of the wall was very fine, her fair fingers couldn't hold on, and she fell back into the water again.

After several consecutive attempts, her fear reached its peak.

The water here was too deep, at least three meters. If she sank to the bottom, she would definitely die.

"Li Zhiyan!"

"Li Zhiyan!"

With no one else around, remembering that Li Zhiyan was nearby, Yin Xueyang placed all her hope on him.

Li Zhiyan walked slowly to the riverbank and sat on the iron chain.

"Director Yin, what's wrong? On such a hot day, you actually went down for a swim?"

Looking at the bag and high heels floating not far away, Li Zhiyan could sense the woman's terror. In this moment, Yin Xueyang was truly at the end of her rope.

"I was knocked in! Li Zhiyan, save me."

"Save me, come down here right now!"

Her glamorous face was filled with terror. At this moment, Yin Xueyang only wanted to survive; nothing else mattered to her.

Her voice was still very assertive, as if she were commanding him, but Li Zhiyan stood there motionless, not panicked at all.

"Director Yin."

"If I'm to save you, I have to take a risk too."

"If I'm not careful, I might die in there as well."

At this moment, Yin Xueyang was completely terrified and said frantically, "Tell me what you want, Auntie will agree to anything."

"Cancel the disciplinary mark and agree to one condition from me later."

Li Zhiyan didn't state the condition immediately because he hadn't decided what it would be yet, but it couldn't be too excessive.

Otherwise, given this woman's way of doing things, she would likely go back on her word.

"Okay, Auntie promises you, Auntie promises you everything."

At this moment, Yin Xueyang only wanted to live.

"Alright, then I'll risk my life to save you."

Li Zhiyan took off his shirt, pants, and shoes, entering the water wearing only his boxers.

When swimming, those things were just encumbrances, and he still had to bring Yin Xueyang to the shore.

"Director Yin, you have to listen to me in a moment."

"I'll hold you from behind and swim to the shore bit by bit."

"Do you understand?"

"Auntie understands."

Yin Xueyang said very humbly. At this moment, she was no longer the noble Department Head or the multi-millionaire businesswoman.

Instead, she was like a pitiable person.

After finishing his preparations, Li Zhiyan went directly into the water and grabbed Yin Xueyang.

Already terrified, Yin Xueyang subconsciously hugged Li Zhiyan tightly.

At this moment, Li Zhiyan was her literal lifesaver!

"Li Zhiyan..."

Feeling the trembling Yin Xueyang's bust, Li Zhiyan didn't continue to tease her.

"Turn around, don't hold me so tight, I need to swim."

"I'll hold you and swim toward the shore bit by bit."

"Don't move around, or we'll both die."

Yin Xueyang was very obedient; she touched the wall and gently turned around.

Inwardly, she felt an inexplicable sense of shame. An eighteen-year-old kid she was hell-bent on ruining had, in her moment of life-and-death despair...

Become her only hope for survival.

At this hour, it was impossible for anyone to come here. If it weren't for Li Zhiyan, she really would have died here.

If she died, what meaning would all that money have?

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan held Yin Xueyang from behind and kicked his legs.

Although this wasn't a normal swimming stroke, it was very easy for Li Zhiyan, who had the strength of an athlete. After activating his thruster...

Li Zhiyan's power increased significantly; the strength of his title was beyond doubt!

Li Zhiyan swam steadily toward the shore.

At this moment, Yin Xueyang's heart was filled with utter shock!

Heavens, how could such a terrifying person exist in this world!

She only now realized that she had never truly understood Li Zhiyan before.

This kind of talent was probably unique in the entire world.

After carefully swimming to the shore, Li Zhiyan supported Yin Xueyang's buttocks and helped her up onto the bank.

Then he followed her up.

The moment she reached the shore, Yin Xueyang gasped for air, the feeling of terror flooding her heart.

For a while, she was completely unable to move.

At this moment, she was so scared that an old problem of hers flared up again.

This problem had plagued her for many years: she would suffer from urinary incontinence during emotional fluctuations.

Having just walked the line between life and death, Yin Xueyang naturally couldn't control herself.

Li Zhiyan, who had just sat down, smelled an odor—faint, but very distinct.

At that moment, Yin Xueyang also realized she had lost her composure in front of Li Zhiyan.

This made her feel extremely annoyed. Why was she so useless!

Interest on top of interest, even usury has come out. The author won't be taken away for a blood draw, will he? Don't do it, Brother Dao!

It's 2024, and Qidian still belongs to the Gao family!

On another note, here's some sad news: the V group exploded. It's so disgusting; it took ten days of slow verification to gather over a thousand people, and the group is just gone. I'll set it up again in a while. My heart is so tired.
