172: Checking into a room with Gu Wanzhou, half-heartedly feeding Li Zhiyan

An instinctive feeling of danger rose in Gu Wanzhou's heart.

She didn't dare to look back.

Fearing what she might see, Gu Wanzhou's safety awareness was already very strong, especially after the incident with the yellow-haired man.

She hadn't expected to encounter danger on this rare outing today.

Gu Wanzhou put her hand into her bag, gripping the electric baton, ready to fight to the death.

Although this electric baton wasn't very powerful, it could temporarily incapacitate someone if it shocked them.

As Gu Wanzhou walked forward, the voice behind her suddenly spoke.

"Auntie, do you still remember me?"

This voice felt somewhat familiar to Gu Wanzhou.

But she couldn't recall it for a moment.

"Where is that kid who hit me? Tell me, and I'll make you more comfortable later."

"Auntie, I'll reward you."

After these words were spoken, a feeling of dread involuntarily rose in Gu Wanzhou's heart.

She completely remembered what had happened.

Not long after Li Zhiyan confessed to her in the teahouse.

When she was strolling in the park to relax, she encountered this person who tried to flirt with her—no, it shouldn't be called flirting; he was trying to assault her.

This person wasn't a simple hooligan but a real criminal.

If he got a chance to do something to her, it was already predictable.

Although Gu Wanzhou was terrified, she calmed down at this moment.

Fear wouldn't solve the problem...

There were no pedestrians nearby, no cameras, and it was too late to call the police; her only hope was the electric baton in her hand.

"You need to understand, this kind of behavior is criminal."

"I've committed many crimes; this is just one more."

Qi Lei pulled out a forty-centimeter machete, feeling the faint reflection of the blade behind him.

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou's heart was completely panicked.

He even brought a knife; this was clearly retaliation targeting her...

Even with an electric baton, she probably didn't stand a chance.

However, even if she died here today, she wouldn't let him succeed.

Gu Wanzhou clenched her fists, her resolve firm.

"Where is that kid, and what's his name? You'd better tell me obediently, or else I'll torture you properly later."

A sense of despair rose in Gu Wanzhou's heart.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, making Gu Wanzhou instinctively turn her head.

"You're looking for me?"

This voice was Li Zhiyan's voice.

For some reason, Li Zhiyan's previous words about him feeling fated with her echoed in Gu Wanzhou's mind.

This child, it seemed he truly had an unbreakable bond with her.

No matter what, they would always be linked; whenever she was in danger, Li Zhiyan would suddenly appear behind her.

"You're that beast?"

Turning his head, the hooligan looked at Li Zhiyan, who had removed his sunglasses.

Qi Lei also felt a bit strange in his heart; this voice indeed sounded very familiar to him.

But this person seemed to have undergone a drastic change; had he grown taller during this time?

Looking at how handsome Li Zhiyan was now, a feeling of jealousy rapidly rose in his heart.

"Since you've delivered yourself today, let's settle both new and old scores."

"Later, I'll let you watch how I have fun with your auntie."

Qi Lei, who already had many criminal charges, was now completely reckless; he had transformed from a hooligan into a true criminal.

Then, he charged at Li Zhiyan with the knife in hand.

"Li Zhiyan, run!"

Gu Wanzhou's voice was sharp.

She really hadn't expected Li Zhiyan to appear at this moment, but with this hooligan holding a grudge and a knife, Gu Wanzhou would rather Li Zhiyan hadn't shown up.

At least then, neither of them would be in danger; everything before her was heart-stopping.

Looking at Qi Lei charging at him, Li Zhiyan was not flustered at all.

He was sure to win in a one-on-five situation, even if the opponent was armed.

"Damn you! Today, I'm going to cripple you!"

Qi Lei, fueled by his past hatred, slashed at Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan's temper instantly flared.

The last time he beat this beast was because he insulted his mother.

As a mama's boy, he would never allow such a thing.

Li Zhiyan snatched Qi Lei's knife and kicked him to the ground.

Qi Lei had been absolutely confident that one slash would draw blood; he had even cut someone recently.

But what he hadn't expected was that he was like a child in front of Li Zhiyan, completely powerless to resist, even with a knife.

Next, it was the same beating as last time.

He covered his head, but the piercing pain from his body came, making him completely terrified.

"That's for cursing my mom!"

"That's for cursing my mom!"

Li Zhiyan kept kicking the criminal in front of him, first incapacitating him to ensure his and Gu Wanzhou's safety.

Then, Li Zhiyan continued to attack the criminal while calling the police.

Behind him, Gu Wanzhou watched everything unfold in a flash of lightning...

She felt as if she were dreaming; even with a knife, this person was no match for Li Zhiyan?

Soon, the police arrived.

Upon seeing Qi Lei's face, the police immediately cuffed him.

They had been trying to catch Qi Lei recently but had no luck; today, someone told them they found the criminal.

And it was true!

The three went to the police station to give their statements, and Qi Lei was immediately detained.

After Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou finished their statements and understood the whole story, they left the police station.

"Young man, thank you very much this time."

After leaving the police station, the Old Policeman said gratefully, "This person committed many crimes recently and even cut someone; the victim is still in the hospital. I think the victim's family will be very grateful to you."

"However, young man, although you have some martial arts skills, if you encounter such a situation in the future, please call the police first. Don't take risks alone. If your fighting ability wasn't strong, you and your auntie would have been in real danger tonight."

Li Zhiyan nodded repeatedly at the Old Policeman's advice.

Not long after the two walked out of the police station, Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou's hand.

Gu Wanzhou was clearly a bit resistant; Li Zhiyan knew this was because of Yu Sisi's previous confession to him.

So Gu Wanzhou had too many reservations in her heart.

However, Gu Wanzhou only resisted for a moment before lacing her fingers with Li Zhiyan's, holding his hand tightly.

"Aunt Gu, you're crying."

As they walked, Li Zhiyan noticed Gu Wanzhou's unusual behavior; her eyes were red.

There were tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.

Hearing Li Zhiyan say this, Gu Wanzhou could no longer hold back the fear in her heart and hugged Li Zhiyan tightly.

"Guaiguai, you really scared Auntie to death."

"If anything had happened to you just now, Auntie wouldn't want to live either."

In Gu Wanzhou's heart.

There had always been an irreplaceable affection for Li Zhiyan.

In her heart, Li Zhiyan was very, very important, so she was truly terrified just now.

"Aunt Gu, it's all over."

Li Zhiyan put his arm around Gu Wanzhou's waist, smelling the fragrance on Aunt Gu's body, embracing Gu Wanzhou perfectly, feeling a very full sensation in his heart.

This embrace seemed a bit distant from him, and it was all because of Yu Sisi.

"Guaiguai..."

Although Li Zhiyan was comforting Gu Wanzhou.

But Gu Wanzhou kept crying, clearly frightened.

Feeling Gu Wanzhou trembling as she hugged him, Li Zhiyan slowly closed his eyes and gently comforted Gu Wanzhou in a soft voice.

He hoped Aunt Gu would calm down soon.

"All right, Aunt Gu, it's all over."

More than half an hour later, Gu Wanzhou's emotions finally calmed down.

After all, a woman is a woman; at such moments, her heart can never remain calm.

"Guaiguai, how did you end up here?"

Holding Li Zhiyan's hand.

Gu Wanzhou asked softly.

"It's because I wanted to see you; you've been avoiding me."

"Aunt Gu, you're still my girlfriend, but you're not doing a good job at all."

"I missed you, so I came here to stroll around."

"But what I didn't expect was that you would be here."

"And encounter something like this."

Gu Wanzhou hummed in acknowledgment, feeling incredibly guilty in her heart at the same time.

She seemed to have truly let Li Zhiyan down; if her daughter hadn't confessed to Li Zhiyan, then to what extent would she and Li Zhiyan have developed by now?

Perhaps...

Gu Wanzhou dared not imagine it in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Li Zhiyan..."

"It's nothing, but I think you should change your way of thinking."

"I think we truly have a connection; from the first time I met you, I felt that way."

"Don't you think there's truly a magical connection between us?"

Gu Wanzhou was somewhat silent; although it sounded a bit like metaphysics and superstition.

But between her and Li Zhiyan, it was indeed like this.

Every time she was in danger, Li Zhiyan would appear at the right time and save her...

Moreover, she and he seemed to meet everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Guaiguai, Auntie has indeed neglected you during this time."

Li Zhiyan took Gu Wanzhou's jade hand and walked forward.

"I don't think you neglected me; on the contrary, I've always been in your heart."

Li Zhiyan's words made Gu Wanzhou feel a bit guilty.

Not only was Li Zhiyan in her heart.

She thought about him every day, even feeling distracted at work.

Li Zhiyan held a very special and irreplaceable position in her heart.

"Actually, in your heart, you already like me, don't you?"

Gu Wanzhou's face uncontrollably turned red, having her true inner thoughts exposed by a young man in public.

It made Gu Wanzhou feel very shy.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, Aunt Gu. I think you believe that because Yu Sisi confessed to me before, if you get close to me, you wouldn't be able to face your own daughter."

"That's why you deliberately distanced yourself from me and avoided me, right?"

"But I think life is short, and you shouldn't deny your inner feelings because of various concerns."

"Aunt Gu, you are an extremely strong woman in work and life, but in love, you really don't think about yourself."

Li Zhiyan continued, knowing that he couldn't convince Gu Wanzhou all at once.

After all, asking a 41-year-old woman to directly confront the issue of competing with her daughter for a man was indeed difficult for Gu Wanzhou to accept. However, by bringing this matter into the open, Gu Wanzhou's inner feelings would gradually change over time.

In this way, she would eventually confront her true feelings and be with him.

Gu Wanzhou was speechless for a moment; she found that Li Zhiyan understood her too well.

All her thoughts and concerns were directly spoken by Li Zhiyan.

This child...

"Moreover, I've never had any feelings for your daughter, and nothing has happened between us."

“If we’re together, it won’t affect anything at all.”

“I believe Yu Sisi will definitely understand you.”

Li Zhiyan tightened his grip on Gu Wanzhou’s hand.

Gu Wanzhou didn’t speak, letting Li Zhiyan hold her hand.

She walked forward.

“Aunt Gu.”

“Are you tired?”

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou did feel a bit tired after the intense emotional fluctuations.

“Hmm…”

“A little.”

“Then, Aunt Gu, let’s get a room at that hotel up ahead and sit for a while.”

“Get… get a room?”

Gu Wanzhou’s hands trembled slightly. As a mature woman, how could she not know what getting a room implied?

“Yeah, I’m tired from walking, so let’s get a room to rest.”

Li Zhiyan’s words made Gu Wanzhou realize she had misunderstood.

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Li Zhiyan booked a king-size room and took the room card and Gu Wanzhou up the elevator.

On the way, Gu Wanzhou deliberately kept some distance from Li Zhiyan, afraid that others would find it strange. After all, an 18-year-old boy and a woman in her forties getting a room together seemed off no matter how you looked at it.

Once they reached the room, Li Zhiyan eagerly closed the door.

Then he hugged Gu Wanzhou from behind.

“What are you doing, Guaiguai…”

Gu Wanzhou’s heart began to panic slightly.

“Aunt Gu, I want to hug you, and I want to kiss you, and I want you to feed me. I’m a little hungry.”

When it came to feeding people, Liu Meizhen was the most professional.

She always managed to make him feel completely full when she fed him, even if it was just with water, it was truly filling.

As for the others, they simply helped him experience the feeling of being pampered and fed.

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou recalled what happened with Li Zhiyan on that small path after they finished playing outside that day.

That time, Li Zhiyan had made some requests, but she hadn’t agreed. Instead, she had settled for agreeing to renew her contract as his girlfriend…

“Li Zhiyan, let’s both calm down…”

Gu Wanzhou felt that Li Zhiyan was right.

She was still very concerned about Yu Sisi.

Before Gu Wanzhou could finish speaking, Li Zhiyan directly kissed her.

He knew that sometimes, direct action was more effective.

Sure enough, at first, Gu Wanzhou resisted.

But it wasn’t long before she got back into it. After all, during Li Meifeng’s birthday, Gu Wanzhou had also taught him how to kiss, mouth to mouth…

In this regard, Gu Wanzhou was truly his genuine, bona fide teacher.

This was somewhat similar to Rao Shiyun; both of them were mentors in his life.

“Guaiguai…”

“Be gentle…”

Gu Wanzhou knew that kissing was unstoppable, so she murmured, entwining herself with Li Zhiyan.

And after that, Li Zhiyan had Gu Wanzhou feed him supper.

Gu Wanzhou struggled internally for a moment but still complied.

…

Around eleven o’clock at night, the two parted ways at the entrance of Gu Wanzhou’s residential area.

“Li Zhiyan, Auntie will drive you home.”

“It’s not safe this late.”

“It’s fine, Aunt Gu…”

“I bought a car myself.”

Li Zhiyan unlocked his Benz E. His car was now the same model as Gu Wanzhou’s, but his configuration was higher, costing nearly 700,000 upon purchase.

“Guaiguai, you bought a car!”

“Yes.”

“It’s all because you don’t pay much attention to me that you’re completely unaware of what I’ve been up to lately.”

Li Zhiyan’s words made Gu Wanzhou feel very embarrassed. She and Li Zhiyan really had connected very little.

“From now on, you have to contact me often, and when you’re free, you have to come out on dates with me, okay, Aunt Gu? I really miss you, and the feeling of not being able to see you normally is really difficult.”

Gu Wanzhou nodded gently.

A wave of sadness inexplicably washed over her heart.

“Okay, Auntie will take you out to play often from now on, whenever Auntie’s business isn’t busy.”

Li Zhiyan also knew that the number of times he saw Gu Wanzhou.

It certainly wouldn’t be as often as those from the clothing store or the internet cafe.

After all, they truly had their own businesses.

Their usual time must be extremely busy. Aunt Rao was also like this; Li Zhiyan could feel that she was indeed busy, especially now, approaching New Year’s Day, she was even more tied up.

“Hmm.”

“Okay.”

“Guaiguai, hurry home.”

Looking at Li Zhiyan’s Benz E, Gu Wanzhou couldn’t help but marvel at how incredibly capable Li Zhiyan was.

He was only 18, still half a year away from 19, and he already had his own luxury car.

“Aunt Gu, bye-bye.”

After Li Zhiyan kissed Gu Wanzhou on the lips, he drove away.

At the residential area entrance, Gu Wanzhou watched Li Zhiyan’s taillights for a very long time.

Only after Li Zhiyan’s car disappeared around the corner did she slowly return home.

After returning home, Yu Sisi was already asleep.

Gu Wanzhou returned to her room, sat on the sofa, and looked out the window. The events of that evening kept flashing through her mind.

Every time she thought of it, she still felt a sense of lingering shock.

Everything was just too precarious.

She had almost gotten into trouble.

And thinking of what happened in the hotel, Gu Wanzhou’s face slowly turned red again.

“Gu Wanzhou, Si Si likes him very much.”

“Are you going to snatch a man from your own daughter?”

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou had countless complex thoughts in her mind.

When Li Zhiyan made demands of her, why didn’t she refuse?

Later, she even half-heartedly went along with it.

She even fed him. What exactly was she thinking? What would happen if her daughter found out how intimate she and Li Zhiyan were? Gu Wanzhou didn’t dare to think about it in detail.

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou was suffering from insomnia.

…

Back home, his mom was waiting for him as usual.

And she had prepared some supper for him.

“Mom, time passes so quickly. A new year is about to begin.”

Zhou Rongrong replied while preparing supper for Li Zhiyan, “Son, why are you getting sentimental about time? That’s not something someone your age should be thinking about.”

Li Zhiyan smiled lightly. Since his rebirth, every day had been fulfilling, but time was constantly moving forward.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost New Year’s Day, and so much had happened during this period.

“I want to stay by your side forever, Mom.”

“Okay, Mom promises you, I’ll let you stay by my side forever, and I’ll always be with you too.”

Placing the supper on the table, Zhou Rongrong stroked her son’s head.

She could feel it.

Her son’s reliance on his mom.

“Mom, when are you planning to resign?”

“Wait a bit longer, it’ll be soon. If you let Mom quit her job all at once, Mom wouldn’t know what to do, would she?”

“Hmm…”

“If you don’t want to work, just tell me anytime.”

Chatting with his mom, Li Zhiyan savored the supper she made.

His heart felt at peace. Such days would continue on like this.

…

The next day, after Li Zhiyan finished breakfast with his mom’s care as usual.

He received a call from Shen Rongfei.

“Hello, Mom.”

His relationship with Su Mengchen was already confirmed.

So, calling her “Mom” came very naturally now, and Shen Rongfei had long been accustomed to calling him her son.

Li Zhiyan always held immense respect for this elder, treating her as his own mother.

“Son, Mom will take you to the company today.”

“Mom’s company will be handed over to you in the future.”

In Shen Rongfei’s heart, divorcing Su Yu.

It was already a foregone conclusion, so her business would belong to her daughter.

However, Chenchen clearly didn’t have a talent for business.

Li Zhiyan was a true genius in business. At 18, he had achieved so much.

It already spoke volumes.

“Hmm.”

“Okay.”

The commercial espionage matter was a task, and Li Zhiyan remembered it clearly.

After the two ended their call, Li Zhiyan checked his tasks.

He had successfully reached 2.6 million. The previous task from Gu Wanzhou…

It pushed Li Zhiyan’s savings close to three million.

“The speed of making money is getting faster and faster.”

“Next, I need to buy a house for Aunt Jiang first.”

“Buying a house also counts as supporting economic development.”

Li Zhiyan was making future plans in his mind.

And next, what he needed to do was the Mother-in-law’s task.

Also, there was Bao Xunwen’s domestic violence incident happening next week; he had to protect Aunt Liu.

He absolutely could not allow such a thing as being beaten to happen to Aunt Liu.

Driving his Benz E straight to Shen Rongfei’s residential area, after registering, Li Zhiyan drove his car to the underground parking lot.

At the door, Li Zhiyan pressed the doorbell.

“Mom!”

“Son!”

Soon, Shen Rongfei, wearing black stockings, came out. Her pair of black-stockinged beautiful legs were still very eye-catching.

Shen Rongfei felt very happy when Li Zhiyan came home.

“Son, come in quickly.”

“Mom will wash some fruit for you. You can spend the morning with Chenchen, and then in the afternoon, Mom will take you to the company.”

“Hmm.”

After Li Zhiyan followed Shen Rongfei into the house, Su Mengchen, her pretty face flushed, returned to her room.

Now, every time Su Mengchen thought about her relationship with Li Zhiyan being established.

She felt very shy.

As for Su Mengchen’s reaction.

Li Zhiyan wasn’t surprised at all.

“Look, she’s even shy now…”

Shen Rongfei said while making a fruit platter, but she was very happy in her heart. With Li Zhiyan’s help, her daughter.

She was now constantly becoming normal, with not much difference from other girls.

Except for the congenital limp, which was unchangeable.

“Son.”

“Mom has called you for so long, but you never wanted to come to the company.”

“Why do you suddenly want to come and see Mom’s company now?”

“I think I should spend more time with you in the future.”

“Also, Mom, I discovered something.”

“I accidentally overheard Su Yu on the phone earlier. He said he was looking for a commercial spy.”

“To ruin your company.”

“To transfer all your assets to those companies he registered.”

“He also sent someone, it seems his name is…”

“His name is Zhao Hang.”

“Zhao Hang!”

At this moment, Shen Rongfei was completely disappointed in Su Yu. She hadn’t expected it.

That man not only found a mistress but also attacked her so viciously.

He even found a commercial spy. This Zhao Hang was a high-level executive she had spent a lot of money to poach for the company.

If he was a spy, then her company was truly in danger.

“That’s why I planned to go to the company to remind you to be careful.”

Li Zhiyan’s words made Shen Rongfei completely on guard.

“Okay, Son, Mom understands. If Zhao Hang makes any moves.”

“Mom is prepared, he definitely won’t succeed.”

After telling Shen Rongfei, Li Zhiyan’s system reward was credited.

At this moment, his savings successfully surpassed three million.

Li Zhiyan hadn’t expected this task to be achieved so easily.

Given Mother-in-law's methods and her advance preparations, it would have been impossible for Zhao Hang to steal commercial secrets.

With the evidence in hand, iron bars and prison food awaited him.

"Alright, Mom knows, son. Go see Chenchen."

"Mm..."

After Li Zhiyan and Shen Rongfei chatted for a while,

he went to Su Mengchen's room. Su Mengchen was currently lying on the bed, covering her face.

Hearing the sound of the door opening...

Su Mengchen's body visibly trembled.

"Chenchen."

Li Zhiyan walked over and then lay down beside Su Mengchen.

"Still not used to it, huh? We're together now, so you'll have to get used to the change in identity from now on."

Su Mengchen hummed in response, then lifted her head.

Eighteen is a wonderful age. Every part of Su Mengchen was soft and tender, and the flush on her skin looked quite alluring.

"Chenchen, do you still remember how to kiss?"

"Mm..."

"Li Zhiyan, I still remember."

Before Su Mengchen's words had even faded, Li Zhiyan grabbed her shoulders.

He turned Su Mengchen over so she was lying on her back, then.

he leaned in and gave Su Mengchen a very gentle kiss.

Su Mengchen responded to Li Zhiyan, but her mind was already blank.

Li Zhiyan had considered trying the next step for a moment.

However, after thinking about it, he decided that things with Chenchen shouldn't be rushed, especially since this was her bedroom.

He would wait until Chenchen slowly returned to a normal state before getting down to business.

...

In the afternoon, Shen Rongfei took Li Zhiyan to her company.

A large company with hundreds of people was indeed spectacular, truly like a small society.

However...

His Yiyan Network was not bad either. The company's staff size had already reached two hundred people, and it was still expanding continuously under the system's automatic operation.

After all, it had three floors of office space.

At the same time, Li Zhiyan was also looking forward to the company's upgrade mission. If the company's revenue upgraded later, his monthly fixed income would likely be several million.

Over the course of an afternoon, the mother-son bond between Li Zhiyan and Shen Rongfei also deepened significantly.

Time passed quickly. Li Zhiyan, who had not received any new system missions, continued his routine of eating dinner at the clothing store and then delivering milk to Yiyan Internet Cafe.

Being a milkman was actually quite nice...

On Tuesday afternoon, after school.

Li Zhiyan received a call from Shen Rongfei.

"Son."

"Mom."

"Son, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you..."

"Mom would definitely have been ambushed. That person truly was a spy."

Li Zhiyan couldn't help but marvel at the system's power. The system truly was omnipotent, knowing everything in advance. "Mom, how was the spy handled?"

"The evidence was conclusive, so he was reported to the police and taken away."

"The unfortunate thing is that we haven't found any evidence against Su Yu. He's already in the process of divorcing me."

"Next, there will be a period of legal battles."

As she spoke, Shen Rongfei's voice carried an uncontrollable sense of sadness.

Although she hated Su Yu now, thinking about her past made Shen Rongfei feel it wasn't worth it.

"Mom, don't be sad. Chenchen and I will take care of you from now on."

"I will definitely make sure you live a very fulfilling life."

"If you're sad, I'll be sad too."

"Mm..."

"Mom isn't sad anymore."

"When we have time, the three of us can go on another trip."

"When you have time, accompany Mom for a few drinks."

Shen Rongfei said softly.

"Mom, don't you usually not drink much?"

"I haven't been in a good mood lately, so Mom has always wanted to get really drunk."

"I'm just afraid of getting drunk and delaying work. When we have time, let's, mother and son, have a good drink."

How could Li Zhiyan refuse Mother-in-law's desire to drink?

This was a great opportunity to get closer to Mother-in-law. The better his relationship with her, the more stable his relationship with Chenchen would be.

"Mm..."

After their conversation, Li Zhiyan also arrived at Commercial Street.

"Let's go to the milk tea shop and see if Yin Xueyang is there."

Li Zhiyan recalled when Yin Xueyang had approached him to sign a gambling agreement.

Actually, her strategy was sound. If she were dealing with a small boss, it would definitely be a sure thing.

But his situation was different. Yin Xueyang was not facing a small boss.

Instead, she was up against a milk tea shop operated by the system, which had a fixed daily income. This alone meant that Yin Xueyang could not win.

Indeed, as soon as Li Zhiyan arrived at the entrance of the milk tea shop, he saw Yin Xueyang standing there, looking troubled.

Today, Yin Xueyang was wearing 'bare leg artifacts' under her short skirt, making it look as if she wasn't wearing anything.

Her beautiful legs looked very alluring...

This reminded Li Zhiyan of Yin Xueyang's beautiful legs in the summer, which were so fair, even whiter than these 'bare leg artifacts'.

Now that the weather was gradually turning colder, Director Yin was clearly paying attention to staying warm.

"Aunt Yin."

"Long time no see."

Li Zhiyan walked up to Yin Xueyang. Looking at Yin Xueyang in front of him, he was in a very good mood.

"You've become even more beautiful, but you're missing that certain scent. I really liked the scent you gave off when you were sick."

Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, that feeling of humiliation rose in Yin Xueyang's heart again...

In front of Li Zhiyan, she always couldn't find that sense of self-respect.

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever been able to control her. Her ex-husband was like a toy in her hands.

Even her son took her surname.

But with Li Zhiyan, she was repeatedly frustrated.

And she had to endure his insults.

At the same time, she already felt that something was amiss.

Ever since her shop opened, business had been consistently bad, even though her milk tea was so much cheaper than Li Zhiyan's milk tea shop.

And the taste was similar. Under normal circumstances, a price war could directly drag Li Zhiyan down. By the time he reacted, it would be too late, and she could keep fighting.

However, everything this time made Yin Xueyang feel that it defied common sense.

No matter how much she lowered her prices...

Li Zhiyan's milk tea shop business remained incredibly popular. There were always people queuing, as if they would die if they didn't drink Li Zhiyan's milk tea.

Yin Xueyang truly couldn't understand how Li Zhiyan managed to do this. She even felt a sense of admiration for Li Zhiyan in her heart.

Although it was just a trace, it was genuine admiration.

For the incredibly proud Yin Xueyang,

her heart was unwilling to admit her admiration for Li Zhiyan...

"Li Zhiyan, what's going on with your milk tea shop? Business is so good."

"I've lowered my prices so much."

"But it's still useless! Your milk tea shop's business hasn't been affected at all!"

Yin Xueyang said very seriously.

"Aunt Yin, it's really rare to see you like this."

Li Zhiyan gently touched Yin Xueyang's pretty face. Her cheeks were incredibly smooth and tender, not at all like a woman in her forties.

A blush quickly appeared on Yin Xueyang's beautiful face.

It wasn't due to shyness, but rather a feeling of humiliation, caused by anger.

She really wanted to slap Li Zhiyan.

"If you want to know, just beg me, and I'll tell you."

Yin Xueyang clenched her fists.

To make her beg Li Zhiyan, it was even more unbearable than killing her.

But she had begged Li Zhiyan before, and to have him delete the video, she had paid a considerable price.

"Speak!"

Looking at the about-to-erupt Yin Xueyang, Li Zhiyan said indifferently: "Because of marketing."

"They have decided in their hearts that my milk tea shop is the best."

"No matter how much you lower your prices, they will still buy milk tea at my milk tea shop."

"As for how to market, that's a trade secret."

"Aunt Yin, just wait until the bet ends and agree to my conditions. My conditions this time might be a little more excessive than last time at your house."

"At that time, I still want to go to your house."

"You!"

Yin Xueyang's fists clenched even tighter. She felt a real sense of powerlessness in front of Li Zhiyan. He was simply a rogue, afraid of nothing.

He wasn't afraid of being hit, and in commercial competition, she was surprisingly not his match.

"I'll keep lowering the price, one yuan a cup! I don't believe it!"

"I can't beat you."

"Then I wish you good luck."

Li Zhiyan knew that when the price dropped to one yuan a cup, customers would start to think there was something wrong with the milk tea at that shop, and it would be even more counterproductive.

"I'm leaving first."

"Oh, Aunt Yin, I still have something to tell you. Come closer."

Yin Xueyang was a little puzzled.

But she still leaned towards Li Zhiyan.

Looking at Yin Xueyang's alluring red lips, Li Zhiyan kissed her, giving her a half-second kiss.

"You!"

Yin Xueyang swung her hand, aiming a slap at Li Zhiyan's face.

However, her movement was too slow, and Li Zhiyan had already run away.

Yin Xueyang's fists clenched tighter and tighter.

"Li Zhiyan, you just wait for me..."

Yin Xueyang decided she absolutely had to cripple Li Zhiyan and put him in the ICU for her heart to be at ease.

...

All the way to Yiyan Internet Cafe, Li Zhiyan reminisced about the feeling just now.

Although this woman was ruthless and resourceful, he had to admit, her lips were very sweet.

And to make such a strong woman change step by step...

Li Zhiyan felt a strange sense of accomplishment in his heart.

And now, he was increasingly fond of Yin Xueyang, this woman. It was just that her personality was too strong, and he needed to slowly break down her pride.

This commercial competition was a good opportunity to strike at Yin Xueyang.

Once the bet was over, the conditions could also be brought up.

Just as he arrived at the internet cafe, Li Zhiyan received a new mission.

"New mission issued."

"Liu Meizhen, feeling extremely disappointed tonight, will seek revenge on Bao Xunwen by deliberately inviting you to a hotel room and feeding you dinner."

"Bao Xunwen, having overheard, will secretly find an opportunity to sneak into the room and place a camera to film you eating your late-night snack."

"Please subtly turn off the camera."

"Mission reward: 400,000 yuan in cash."

Upon seeing this mission, Li Zhiyan's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It seemed Aunt Liu was truly disappointed with Bao Xunwen to the extreme, which was why she would invite him out for a late-night snack.
