25: Aunt Gu's tangle

Mature women can be incredibly alluring, and an exceptional mature woman like Gu Wanzhou is no exception.

When she gave Li Zhiyan a leg massage that day, she couldn't control herself.

“Mom.”

At this moment, Yu Sisi walked in from outside the door.

“Why do I feel like you’re a bit distracted? Did something happen?”

“What could happen to your mother? Nothing.”

Looking at her daughter, Gu Wanzhou always had a feeling that her daughter would regret it later.

“Nothing, I was just thinking about some things.”

…

That evening, when Li Zhiyan returned home, Zhou Rongrong had already prepared a table full of dishes and was waiting for him.

“Son, you seem to be in a good mood.”

Zhou Rongrong looked at her darling son and always felt that he seemed different from before, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint how.

“Maybe it’s because I earned some money.”

The old Li Zhiyan was unremarkable, lacked confidence, and had no presence anywhere.

But now, not only did he have 80,000 yuan in savings at the age of 18, but he also had some special skills.

How could he not be in a good mood?

“Mom, once I save enough money, I’ll definitely buy you a new house, and we’ll move out of this rental.”

“Okay, good son, then your mother will wait for you to buy a new house.”

Zhou Rongrong put food on Li Zhiyan’s plate. Although she thought it was impossible, she didn’t dampen her son’s enthusiasm. Finding joy in hardship and having aspirations was always a good thing.

“Mom, you’re truly getting more and more beautiful.”

Looking at his beautiful mother, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but praise her.

For a mama’s boy, his mother is always the most beautiful woman in his heart.

“You child.”

“Why are you so good at talking now?”

“It’s like you’ve changed into a different person.”

“Mom, I’m just telling the truth.”

Looking at her son, who had grown up so much, Zhou Rongrong suddenly felt that the future held great promise.

“Oh, right, Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tomorrow night. I’ll be back later.”

Zhou Rongrong looked at her son with some confusion. Could it be that this kid was dating? That would be good. For single-parent families, finding a partner later on was quite troublesome. Dating early might make marriage smoother.

“Then be careful, Li Zhiyan. If you’re dating, you must treat the girl well.”

Li Zhiyan felt a bit helpless. Everyone was teaching men to treat girls well.

As a result, countless “little fairies” were created who took men’s efforts for granted.

“Mom, what do you think about an older woman-younger man relationship?”

“No, it should be a mother-son type of relationship. For example, if I found a girlfriend 20 years older than me, could you accept it?”

Li Zhiyan was indeed thinking of a woman.

However, it wasn’t a girl, but a stunning 41-year-old mature woman.

“Huh?”

Zhou Rongrong was also a bit stunned. What was going on with this kid? Did he not like girls his own age?

“Son, don’t you like girls your age?”

“A little, but I’m just asking to see if you could accept a relationship with a 20-year age difference.”

Zhou Rongrong thought for a moment and said seriously, “Son, your mother doesn’t know what kind of girl you’ll like in the future, but as long as you like her, your mother will support you.”

“You can rest assured about that.”

“Even if you find someone around your mother’s age, your mother will agree. Nothing in this world is more important than my darling son’s happiness.”

Listening to his mother’s understanding words, Li Zhiyan felt deeply moved.

“Mom, you’re so good; you can even accept something like this.”

“What’s there not to accept? Your mother isn’t an old-fashioned person, son. Just do what you want to do with confidence. Your mother will always be your backing.”

Zhou Rongrong stroked Li Zhiyan’s head, her heart filled with complex thoughts.

This kid, he wouldn’t really find a girlfriend around her age, would he?

Never mind, don’t think too much. As long as her son is happy, anything is fine.

…

The next day, Li Zhiyan and Li Shiyu spent another day at the Internet Cafe playing Dungeon and Fighter and CF.

During this time, he occasionally checked the system’s skill learning progress.

The Weak Chicken System lived up to its name; the progress bar moved like the last segment of a CF loading screen.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, the Weak Chicken System finally completed the skill learning.

That evening, after calculating the time.

Li Zhiyan arrived early at the park indicated by the system.

In the park, he tried swinging his fist. Indeed, he was no longer that weak high school student.

Instead, he was a true strong man who could take on five opponents alone.

“The system is truly powerful. It can even teach me things directly through skills. So, is it possible in the future for it to teach me the talents of Lao Ai or Ji Xiaolan?”

That didn’t seem impossible. Having been reborn, Li Zhiyan also wanted to be the Wheel Turning King.

Sure enough, not long after, he saw Gu Wanzhou, dressed in a black professional suit, paired with flesh-colored stockings and high heels, arrive at the park.

“Aunt Gu really likes this kind of outfit.”

As Li Zhiyan pondered, Gu Wanzhou had already approached.

Li Zhiyan could tell that Aunt Gu seemed to be full of worry.

Why?

Was it because he had confessed to her?

Li Zhiyan kept thinking, and the time was getting closer to 7:14.

The park had quite a few people. After Gu Wanzhou arrived at the pavilion, she stared blankly at the fish continuously leaping from the surface of the artificial lake.

She truly had never imagined that one day she would be confessed to by an 18-year-old boy.

Moreover, he was so sincere towards her.

She genuinely liked Li Zhiyan, but it wasn’t the liking between a man and a woman; it was merely an adult’s appreciation for a child. Precisely because of this, she had thought about taking him as her godson.

But he insisted on wanting to be with her. Should she reject him?

She couldn’t bear to hurt such a good child, but being with him was also impossible.

Not only because he was just an 18-year-old kid, and she was 23 years older than him.

But also because he had once pursued her daughter, Yu Sisi.

These factors destined that she and he had no chance.

What should she do? As her relationship with him got better and better, dealing with this matter in the future would definitely become more and more troublesome.

Thinking this, Gu Wanzhou became distracted.

This kid, he was truly likable yet so troublesome.

“Little brat… how dare you kiss me secretly.”

She thought of how much had happened that time.

Gu Wanzhou’s face flushed again.

Until a blonde man appeared in front of her.

“Beautiful lady, let’s add each other on QQ. I feel we have a strong connection.”

Looking at the blonde man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, and with no one else around, Gu Wanzhou’s heart began to panic.
