As she tidied up the dishes, Zhao Shumin headed toward the kitchen.
Li Zhiyan followed closely behind her all the ti.
"Aunt Zhao, your cooking is truly delicious."
"I’m just telling the truth."
"Why aren’t you going to take a shower yet? You’re still following around like a little tail. Aren’t you feeling hot?"
"Aunt Zhao, I just love being your little tail. Wherever you go, I go."
In the kitchen, Li Zhiyan was still by Zhao Shumin’s side, helping her with the dishes.
"Aunt Zhao, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"You silly kid, always thinking about sleeping with ."
"Of course, Aunt."
"I used to be used to sleeping alone, so I didn’t think much of it at the ti."
"But ever since I started sleeping with you, I’ve realized how unbearable sleeping alone can be. Aunt, hugging you to sleep feels so blissful."
"With Aunt right by your side, you don’t even feel crowded."
Li Zhiyan’s words made Zhao Shumin feel incredibly happy, giving her a sense of being needed.
"Aunt Zhao, I just love the feeling of hugging you. Why would I feel crowded?"
"Breathing in the scent of your hair is absolutely wonderful."
"And Aunt, you’re so soft and cuddly, it’s beyond comfortable sleeping next to you."
"You little rascal."
"Aunt, rember, you’re sleeping with tonight. No take-backs."
"Alright, go take your shower now. You’ve been out and about all day, you’re all sweaty."
"Aunt, I don’t feel like showering yet. I want to spend more ti with you."
"But I have dishes to finish cleaning, you know."
"I’ll stay with you, Aunt. Whatever we’re doing together, it makes happy."
Feeling particularly joyous from his teasing, Zhao Shumin planted a soft kiss on Li Zhiyan’s lips.
"You funny kid, you’ll probably never get angry at ho once you’re married."
"Aunt Zhao, I want to marry you."
"Don’t say such silly things."
Although Zhao Shumin could accept helping Li Zhiyan with certain things, including agreeing to a shaful one-week pact, the thought of marrying Li Zhiyan was sothing she dared not even dream of in her lifeti.
After leaving the kitchen, she kept urging him, "Xiao Yan, go take your shower now."
"Aunt Zhao, I just want to stay with you."
"I need to hang up the laundry now. Are you following there too?"
"Aunt Zhao, I only want to stay with you."
"You silly kid."
She pinched his cheek, unable to help but find him so lovable no matter how she looked at him.
On the crowded balcony, Zhao Shumin began taking clothes out of the washing machine, skillfully spreading them to dry.
In the house now, only Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin remained, making it much safer to address more private matters.
Ever since that tattooed man arrived, Zhao Shumin had been keeping her clothes in her own bedroom.
"Aunt Zhao, let help you."
With the buttons at the top left undone, it was not difficult for Li Zhiyan to admire Aunt Zhao’s alluring neckline.
"You’re trying to make sure I don’t lift a finger, huh?"
"Aunt Zhao, helping at ho like this is no big deal. You’re my most cherished person, after all."
With wealth and ventures under his belt, Li Zhiyan felt emboldened, his words now devoid of hesitation.
"Soday, you’ll have to cherish your wife instead."
"Aunt Zhao, my love is only for you."
Once the clothes were hung up, Li Zhiyan locked his gaze on Zhao Shumin’s eyes.
"What are you staring at for?"
"Aunt Zhao, I want to hug you."
"You silly kid, weren’t the hugs in the kitchen enough?"
"Aunt, you’re so beautiful, and you sll so amazing."
"I’ll never get enough of hugging you."
As he spoke, Li Zhiyan moved forward and pulled Zhao Shumin into his embrace.
"You foolish child..."
Feeling his intense affection, Zhao Shumin couldn’t help but feel touched.
She wrapped her arms around him in return, the two rging into a tight fit. Despite the heat, neither was willing to let the other go.
"Aunt, let kiss you."
She softly murmured her approval, closing her eyes.
Li Zhiyan leaned closer, his gaze on her enticing, lipstick-painted lips, before gently pressing a kiss upon them.
"You mischievous brat..."
Though her words carried chastisent, her response to him was utterly wholehearted.
Ti seed to blur as sweat covered both their bodies.
The heat on the balcony was indeed stifling.
"Let’s go back inside. It’s too hot."
"Aunt Zhao, rest your hands on the window fra."
"What are you up to?"
"We’re looking at the view, Aunt."
"The street scenery is actually quite nice—with the bustling traffic. When I was little, I always loved this view."
With both hands resting on the edge of the window, Zhao Shumin gazed upon the outdoor scenery.
Holding her from behind, Li Zhiyan joined in on the view, causing her nerves to grow as his closeness beca palpable.
"Xiao Yan, like the other day..."
"Aunt, I miss you."
Earnestly, Zhao Shumin replied, "But it hasn’t been a week yet."
"Aunt, let’s just pretend it has been a week, please?"
"No way..."
"Aunt, I’m begging you. Show so love. I love you so much that I can’t imagine life without you anymore."
"Xiao Yan, go to the room and bring the things we need."
"Alright, Aunt, I’ll go now."
...
Much later, when both had showered, they returned to the master bedroom.
By then, Zhao Shumin had changed into her old-fashioned T-shirt, binding her upper body securely.
She opened her livestream session, while Li Zhiyan busied himself studying professional materials online, striving toward his goal of becoming a walking encyclopedia.
After so ti, Li Zhiyan received a surprising WeChat ssage.
It was from Shen Hongi.
Given Aunt Shen’s usually busy schedule—especially now, as she organized company resources and invited collaborators—her ssaging him directly was unusual.
Shen Aunt, often reserved and aloof, rarely reached out unless compared to that drunken troublemaker who occasionally pestered him after drinking.
"Xiao Yan, what do you think of Aunt Rong?"
Li Zhiyan hadn’t expected such a question. What had happened? Did Aunt Rong’s attempt at seduction get found out?
Between these three won, secrets evidently couldn’t hold fast. His ambition to deceive all parties seed impossible.
After so thought, Li Zhiyan chose his reply carefully, intending to plant a bit of discomfort in Shen Hongi’s mind first.
"She’s beautiful, very feminine, and kind-hearted. She’s a truly wonderful aunt."
