Facing Li Zhiyan’s request for another kiss, Zhao Shumin could only let him be.
After all, everything had already happened between her and Li Zhiyan just now.
Now it was just a little affection, nothing more.
Fortunately, after this kiss ended,
Li Zhiyan didn’t attempt anything excessive. He just quietly listened to Zhao Shumin’s heartbeat.
"Xiao Yan."
"Thinking about tonight’s events still makes feel scared. I always thought, no matter what, Shang Shunsheng was my son. But I didn’t expect that he would really deceive ."
"In his heart, there isn’t even the slightest place for ."
Li Zhiyan held Zhao Shumin tightly, letting her feel his warmth, comforting her troubled soul.
"Aunt, don’t overthink it. From now on, just be a little more cautious."
"Mm, alright. Let’s sleep, Xiao Yan. We still have work tomorrow."
"And I have to continue looking for a job."
Holding Li Zhiyan in her arms, Zhao Shumin’s heart felt much calr. At least, for now, there was soone by her side who truly cared for her.
Li Zhiyan’s genuine and heartfelt concern for her,
Was sothing Zhao Shumin could clearly feel deep in her heart.
Zhao Shumin was indeed tired today. After all, she wasn’t as young as Li Zhiyan—so full of energy and quick to recover.
Li Zhiyan sneaked a glance at Zhao Shumin’s complexion.
He truly felt how amazing the ability to maintain this state was for a woman who chose to stay with him.
At midnight, as always, the new intel refreshed.
"Go to this Lottery Store, purchase this stack of tickets, and you can gain 1,000 yuan."
The prospect of those untad rewards still thrilled Li Zhiyan. The aimless sumr vacation was nearing its end.
He didn’t have to return to his hotown in the small county anymore; now he even had over 170,000 yuan in savings.
Breaking through 200,000 was practically within reach.
"Catherine will be harassed by a Black man while window shopping here tonight."
The locations and timings in the intel were incredibly specific.
This piece of intelligence genuinely surprised Li Zhiyan. Considering how Catherine had always bullied him at the workplace, Li Zhiyan decided he would make good use of this situation.
The rest of the intel, as usual, wasn’t very valuable.
The system tasks were also released on schedule.
[New Task Released.]
[Rescue Catherine.]
[Task Reward: The 12th store, a barbershop.]
[Note: Minimum monthly profit: 1 yuan.]
The ntion of the 12th store excited Li Zhiyan even more. Filled with anticipation for the future, Li Zhiyan drifted into a deep sleep.
...
When Zhao Shumin woke up the next morning, she noticed Li Zhiyan’s leg resting on her body.
Her face flushed with sha.
Now that she was fully awake, she couldn’t help but wonder—how had she ended up with Li Zhiyan again last night...
After checking the trash bin and confirming everything was safe,
She finally let out a sigh of relief. Finishing her morning routine, she headed to the kitchen to cook.
Even as she walked, she carefully avoided the blind spots of the security caras.
In her heart, if the landlady discovered that she and Li Zhiyan were sleeping in the sa room, it would be unbearably awkward.
A short while later, Li Zhiyan joined her.
"Aunt Zhao, you’re so beautiful."
Seeing the soft morning light cast over Zhao Shumin’s face, he genuinely complinted her.
"You little rascal, talking nonsense again. Go and get ready for another matchmaking session for ."
Li Zhiyan didn’t dwell on the topic with Zhao Shumin.
He knew that if he really went to those matchmaking sessions, Zhao Shumin would just end up feeling heartbroken again.
Won are always like this, saying one thing but aning another.
"Aunt Zhao, I’ll buy you a set of makeup products soon. I think if you wear makeup, you’ll look even more stunning."
Even without makeup, Zhao Shumin’s natural beauty made her look as though she was constantly pampered. If she added makeup to the mix, a whole new charm would erge.
The re thought of Aunt Zhao in black stockings, high heels, and a short skirt, with a ticulously painted face, left Li Zhiyan feeling an almost overwhelming anticipation.
"Xiao Yan, I’m too old for makeup now."
"Forget it. I’m not interested in such things."
It was clear that Zhao Shumin was reluctant, though Li Zhiyan didn’t seem surprised.
Aunt Zhao only wore stockings because she wanted him to correct his mistakes. Otherwise, such a thing would never happen, let alone expecting her to wear makeup.
The challenge seed a bit daunting indeed.
"Aunt Zhao."
"Why don’t you give it a try? This is also to help fix my bad habits, isn’t it?"
"If you put on makeup, lipstick, wore high heels, black stockings, and posed for a photo,
It’d look so beautiful."
The ntion of correcting bad habits seed to slightly sway Zhao Shumin.
"I’ll think about it, but honestly, I don’t even know how to apply makeup."
"That’s easy."
"Now there are tons of makeup tutorials online."
"Aunt, if you wanted to learn, it’d be simple."
"Just give so ti to think it over, alright?"
"Alright, I understand, Aunt Zhao."
"Aunt Zhao, you looked so beautiful last night."
When Li Zhiyan brought up last night, Zhao Shumin blushed a deep crimson.
This kid always managed to dig up the things that made her the most flustered.
"Xiao Yan, stop talking nonsense again."
"Aunt Zhao, I’m serious. You were absolutely gorgeous, you completely captivated ."
"Especially with your black stockings and high heels."
Zhao Shumin gently pinched Li Zhiyan’s nose.
"Don’t go saying such ridiculous things to your elders, do you understand?"
