Here is the translated text:
Zhao Shumin made a sound of acknowledgent and returned to her room to bind her upper body slightly.
When she ca back, Li Zhiyan could clearly see that Zhao Shumin’s figure was noticeably less exaggerated, looking much more restrained than before.
"Is this okay?"
"It’s fine, Aunt Zhao. I’ll help you start the livestream now."
Li Zhiyan increasingly felt that Aunt Zhao had the potential to beco an internet celebrity. After setting up the phone on a stand and pointing it at Zhao Shumin’s face, he started the livestream.
"Xiao Yan, what should I do?"
"Aunt Zhao, just watch the comnts when you’re free and chat with the viewers. It’s super easy!"
"Got it, Xiao Yan."
The livestream had barely started when a few small virtual gifts ca in, and the number of viewers grew to a few dozen.
This made Li Zhiyan appreciate the advantage of being attractive even more.
Gifts just started coming in effortlessly.
That evening, Li Zhiyan didn’t push Zhao Shumin too hard. He was a bit concerned about pushing her to her limit.
At midnight, the system’s intel refreshed right on ti.
"Purchase this stack of scratch tickets from the lottery store to profit 1,500 yuan."
The "wild bonus" tasks were what Li Zhiyan cared about the most. Of course, what he now anticipated even more was the inco from his 14 stores during the upcoming settlent.
After all, relying solely on these occasional bonuses wouldn’t realistically lead to a billion-yuan savings. Besides, the system’s ultimate goal wasn’t just one billion in cash.
There was also a villa involved—a substantial reward.
"Catherine has hired a few people to tail you. She plans to have them beat you as you leave work in a secluded area to vent her anger."
This piece of intel didn’t surprise Li Zhiyan at all. After all, Catherine, with her inherently arrogant nature as a White woman, likely looked down on Asians.
After their earlier kiss, she was surely feeling infuriated and plotting her revenge.
The fact that she once tried to shove her foot into his mouth said everything about how much she loathed him internally.
"New task released."
"Counteract the hired thugs Catherine sent after you. Find the hiding Catherine and punish her with a kiss."
"Task reward: One programming company."
"Note: The programming company appears busy on the surface but actually has break-even finances, generating zero profit each month. It can serve as cover for your business empire."
"Future missions can be completed to upgrade its earnings."
Previously, Li Zhiyan was quite troubled about how to justify the source of his stores.
The acquisition processes themselves were aboveboard and conducted under his na, but explaining where the money ca from was difficult to put into words.
Although his earnings wouldn’t attract scrutiny due to the system’s protection, the stores themselves would inevitably draw attention.
This programming company would provide a perfect smokescreen for him.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Zhiyan gradually drifted off to sleep.
...
By the next day, after freshening up, Li Zhiyan found Zhao Shumin already waiting in his room as usual.
"Aunt Zhao, the food you make slls amazing."
"You say the sa thing every day. Hurry up and eat, Xiao Yan."
Today, Zhao Shumin felt particularly at ease.
In the past, having neighbors nearby always left her feeling uneasy, worried they might discover her and Li Zhiyan’s situation.
But now that the two of them lived alone, her ntal burden had completely lifted.
Life has its hardships, but this rental apartnt had beco a safe haven for her and Li Zhiyan. As long as they were inside, she always felt a sense of security.
"Aunt Zhao, now that it’s just the two of us in this house, does it feel much more comfortable?"
"Mhm. Before, I was always worried we might get found out. It’s much better now."
"Then, Aunt Zhao, how about you sleep with every night from now on?"
"What are you thinking? Absolutely not."
Though flustered, there was a hint of shyness in Zhao Shumin’s tone. This kid was always trying to get closer to her.
"Aunt Zhao, I was just joking with you."
"Oh, right. Are you going to buy the sewing machine online?"
"Forget it. I’ll check the second-hand market today and get sothing affordable but functional."
Hope glimred in Zhao Shumin’s beautiful eyes as she thought about the future.
"Alright then. Aunt Zhao, be careful while you’re out. Although Shang Yunsheng is under police scrutiny now, who knows what he might still do."
"Don’t worry, Xiao Yan."
"From now on, Aunt Zhao will try to stay ho as much as possible. Once the master bedroom is finished, I’ll stay ho to make clothes and stream."
"I’ve also co to realize a few things."
"From now on, when Aunt Zhao makes clothes, the air-conditioning will stay on. There’s no reason to save money on that."
Previously, Zhao Shumin was always focused on getting her son married and settled down with Liu Yan. But now, she began doubting whether her son could even be relied upon.
Her heart had let go of the belief that her son would treat her well.
"That’s for the best. Aunt Zhao, you can now earn money by selling handmade clothes and livestreaming, so there’s really no need to be so frugal."
"Mhm. Aunt Zhao understands."
The two chatted warmly, the atmosphere cozy and serene.
After breakfast, Li Zhiyan followed Zhao Shumin into the kitchen.
Seeing Li Zhiyan standing by the doorway, Zhao Shumin felt a bit nervous.
This kid wasn’t planning to ask for help again, was he?
"Xiao Yan, what is it? Shouldn’t you be heading to work?"
"Aunt Zhao, I want a kiss."
"You little brat..."
Zhao Shumin closed her eyes, knowing there was no way she could say no to Li Zhiyan.
Because this was sothing they had agreed upon before.
As she stepped closer, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
"Mmph... You brat, don’t touch everywhere."
"Aunt Zhao, I didn’t do anything extre."
Zhao Shumin said no more, instead wrapping her arms around him as they continued to kiss.
The heated feeling within her grew stronger and more uncontrollable.
...
At the company later that day, Li Zhiyan clocked in as usual. Life had beco quite monotonous.
But Li Zhiyan found it comfortable—after all, his daily work consisted of slacking off.
"That damn Catherine, she actually wants to beat up..."
Thinking about Catherine’s upcoming plans, anger flared within him.
"Li Zhiyan, the CEO wants to see you in her office."
Upon arrival, Liu Jinxin, as always, instructed him to go over.
Li Zhiyan had already grown accustod to this.
Entering the office, Catherine’s gaze was full of hostility. Today, she wasn’t wearing black stockings. Her long, fair legs stood out starkly while shopping heels remained sky-high.
"Li Zhiyan, co give a foot massage."
Rembering the kiss, Catherine couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
This lowly Asian actually dared to take liberties with her.
But today, she had plans to make him pay for it!
Thinking of the beating she had arranged for him, Catherine’s heart surged with anticipation.
Walking over to Catherine’s side, Li Zhiyan gently removed her high heels.
He cradled her flawless, porcelain-like foot in his hand.
Without hesitation, Catherine pressed her foot against his belly, slipping it under his T-shirt naturally.
