He finally felt a true sense of security.
"Aunt, the scenery outside is so beautiful."
"I never realized before that the night view from the car could be this gorgeous."
Shen Hongi gently touched Li Zhiyan’s face with a hint of tenderness.
"Maybe it’s because you lacked a sense of security before. Don’t worry, sweetie."
"No matter what happens in the future, Aunt will make sure your life gets better. Plus, your German is so good, your days certainly won’t be bad."
Li Zhiyan lightly fiddled with Aunt Shen’s button, then leaned close to her ear and kissed her earlobe.
He quietly said near Aunt Shen’s ear, "Aunt, I want to go to the restroom. Let’s go together, okay?"
"There are only ten minutes left before we get off the train."
"It’s fine, Aunt. Ten minutes is enough."
Shen Hongi’s face couldn’t help but flush red, but after thinking about it, she acknowledged it was the last day.
She finally gave a hum of agreent, opened her bag, and started looking for sothing in the inner compartnt. Li Zhiyan knew that there was indeed enough ti.
At that mont, another mory ca to mind of the Aunt who always carried milk cartons in her bag.
With warmth in his heart, Li Zhiyan and Shen Hongi entered the restroom together. Once inside, Shen Hongi said, "Ti is running out."
"Aunt, I know!"
...
After getting off the train, looking at everything in Suzhou, Li Zhiyan felt a bit excited.
Before, he wasn’t very interested in traveling and didn’t have the spare money, so he had never experienced the magnificent scenery of the country.
It wasn’t until his first visit to the seaside, which Aunt Bao had taken him to.
And now, this trip was brought to him by sweet Aunt.
Shen Hongi, whose face was adorned with a rosy blush, said as she looked at Li Zhiyan’s happy expression, "Sweetie, you seem really happy."
"Of course. Being able to spend ti alone with Aunt makes truly happy inside."
Shen Hongi nearly couldn’t resist asking Li Zhiyan about his choices, but held herself back.
She decided to wait until the seven days were over.
"Sweetie, our car should be here."
"Let’s head straight out of the station."
Shen Hongi had booked a high-end hotel, the cost of which was astonishing. The hotel even had a car specifically for picking up guests.
Upon seeing the driver holding up a sign, Li Zhiyan imdiately recognized that it was a brand-new Maybach S-Class.
Even the small windows on the car doors stood out, and the car’s length was noticeably shorter than Aunt’s.
Though it might fool those who didn’t know about cars, it was still acceptable.
Inside the car, Li Zhiyan appeared much more composed, as he and Aunt Shen pretended to be mother and son. This way, it wouldn’t raise anyone’s suspicions.
It wasn’t until they reached the hotel room that Shen Hongi finally relaxed completely.
At last, there was no one who could disturb her ti with sweetie!
After opening her suitcase, Shen Hongi began arranging her costics and skincare products on the vanity.
Although the hotel linens appeared disposable, cleanliness-obsessed Aunt Shen still put on her own set of disposable linens with Li Zhiyan’s help.
After finishing all of this, it was already 11:50 p.m.
"Sweetie, accompany Aunt out for a al!"
"Sure, Aunt!"
Li Zhiyan followed Aunt Shen out of the hotel, observing the nightti of this sowhat unfamiliar city.
While walking on the street, Li Zhiyan saw quite a few signs pointing to scenic spots.
"Aunt, there are so many garden-style buildings here."
"That’s right. Aunt has co here many tis with Aunt Rong and Aunt Lai before."
"But Aunt Rong’s favorite place is Jiangnan."
"And Aunt Lai’s favorite is Lijiang."
"Both of those places have incredibly beautiful scenery. Aunt will take you there in the future."
"Aunt, you probably don’t have that much ti, though."
"Not at the mont, but Aunt has been busy with the company for so many years, and it does feel exhausting at tis."
"After the company is reorganized, Aunt plans to step back from the front stage. Maybe Xu Qianqian can take over. If she does, Aunt could finally relax."
When Shen Hongi ntioned Xu Qianqian, Li Zhiyan wisely remained silent. He was quite aware of the situation.
Though Aunt Shen gifted him a rcedes E-Class and treated him incredibly well, the truth was that he and Aunt Shen were still outsiders to each other.
As much as Xu Qianqian annoyed him, she was Aunt Shen’s biological daughter. Saying anything bad about Xu Qianqian would certainly not be a smart move.
Even soone like Shang Shunsheng—a complete disgrace—only received retaliation from Li Zhiyan after making Aunt Zhao utterly disappointed.
"Sweetie, let’s grab so food from that street food stall upfront."
"Alright, Aunt."
"I’m actually feeling a bit hungry."
"With how much you’ve been running around, how could you not be hungry?"
Shen Hongi said with a slightly flushed face. The two sat down, and Shen Hongi casually ordered a few snacks.
Li Zhiyan quietly waited for midnight to arrive.
Soon enough, the intelligence refreshed right on ti.
"Purchasing scratch tickets from this nearby Lottery Store will yield a profit of ten thousand yuan."
Looking at the coordinates provided in the intelligence, Li Zhiyan saw that it was close by.
This unexpected bonus left Li Zhiyan secretly delighted—another ten thousand yuan in his pocket!
The rest of the intelligence was largely insignificant. Li Zhiyan knew that the seventh day would be pure enjoynt for him and Aunt Shen.
No tasks to complete, no Aunt Lai around, no relatives of Aunt Shen arriving, and Aunt Shen doting on him endlessly.
Today was destined to be a perfect day, just like that night by the seaside with Aunt Rong.
After reviewing the intelligence, Li Zhiyan’s hand began acting mischievously under the table once again.
