"Mind your own business—stop pretending to be so pure. If you were truly pure, where’d Qianqian co from? Zaizai is at the age when his blood is running hot; he should be reading innocent love stories like this. The story about Zheng Yiyun and Xiao Dong was so well-written."
As she said that, Aunt guzzled down another mouthful of wine.
Today, Lai Feifei indeed drank quite a lot, primarily because she was planning to confess her feelings to Li Zhiyan.
This decision felt like snatching food from the jaws of a tiger in front of her two close friends, so she had to drink more to summon so courage!
"You lunatic, you’re hopeless. What kind of woman acts like this?"
"Heh, you’d think won don’t want to read this stuff. They just can’t find the websites."
In Lai Feifei’s mind, she had it all figured out. Once she started dating Zaizai, she’d drag him along to read these stories with her!
"Enough, hurry up and eat."
Shen Hongi truly felt powerless in dealing with this crazy woman.
"Later, we still have to order Xiao Yan’s cake and buy gifts."
"Have you prepared your gift?"
"All ready."
"What is it?"
Shen Hongi asked curiously.
"I’m not telling you."
Lai Feifei replied mysteriously. Shen Hongi had already grown accustod to how this lunatic behaves when drunk.
However, when it ca to her own gift, Shen Hongi was still feeling quite uncertain.
anwhile, at a bakery, Zhao Shumin picked up the cake she’d ordered for Li Zhiyan.
She couldn’t help but anticipate tonight when Li Zhiyan would co ho and see the cake. Looking at the cake reminded Zhao Shumin of the night Li Zhiyan celebrated her birthday.
That night had truly been the most despair-filled day of her life.
At that ti, Li Zhiyan had felt like a ray of light piercing through endless darkness.
"I need to think about what kind of gift to buy for Xiao Yan."
In her heart, Zhao Shumin was starting to feel conflicted. Recently, she’d earned so money, but when it ca to people she was most grateful for, Li Zhiyan was undoubtedly at the top of the list.
So, Zhao Shumin decided she had to give him a more valuable gift this ti.
...
At 1:20, Catherine went up to the front desk to pay. The al totaled over 14,000 yuan, but when Catherine paid, it was as if she were handing over just one yuan—completely unfazed.
This made Li Zhiyan envy the life of the wealthy. Even though he now had 910,000 yuan in savings, spending over 10,000 yuan on a single al still felt extravagant to him.
After paying, Catherine kept rubbing her aching wrist as she and Li Zhiyan left the restaurant.
Her heart was still full of astonishnt—this Li Zhiyan was truly incredible.
His talent was absolutely one of a kind in the world.
"Li Zhiyan, there are four appointnts left on our agreent."
"I have to go deal with so business now, so I won’t accompany you."
"Take care, CEO."
"Mm."
After getting into her McLaren, Catherine switched to flat shoes and floored the accelerator.
She always drove with such aggression, and Li Zhiyan had grown accustod to this style of hers.
Watching the elegant lines of the McLaren’s body, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but recall the monts he had shared with Catherine earlier.
He felt a touch of reluctance—if this foreign beauty could soday stay by his side obediently...
That would be a true sense of accomplishnt, though Catherine clearly looked down on him.
Shaking off his strange thoughts, Li Zhiyan headed to his internet café, where he idled away ti while continuing to study foreign languages.
He was now on the brink of mastering global languages. Even while slacking off in the afternoon, Li Zhiyan didn’t miss the chance to admire his 910,000-yuan savings.
"If I put this into a fixed-term deposit, the monthly interest would amount to several thousand yuan, right?"
However, Li Zhiyan wasn’t planning to open a fixed-term deposit anyti soon; he felt his savings still weren’t enough. He couldn’t predict when he might need to dip into them.
By evening, Li Zhiyan returned to his workplace to clock in. As expected, Catherine wasn’t around today. Liu Yichen and Liu Jinxin were eager to make trouble for Li Zhiyan.
But when they thought back to what had happened that day, a deep sense of inferiority began to overwhelm them. They couldn’t bring themselves to face him.
Especially Liu Yichen—he was deeply jealous of Li Zhiyan. How could a person like this exist in the world?
anwhile, Wang Ya, who was relatively close to Li Zhiyan at the company, ran over to gift him a small cake.
"Thanks, Sister Wang."
Though Wang Ya was an average-looking older woman, Li Zhiyan had a positive impression of her; she’d always treated him well.
As soon as he left the workplace, Li Zhiyan received a call from Shen Hongi.
"Hello, Aunt Shen."
"My dear, have you gotten off work yet?"
"Just finished."
"Then let’s et at Bamboo Inn at 7 p.m. Your Aunt Lai, Aunt Rong, and I are all ready to celebrate your birthday."
"Alright!"
"Sweetie, today’s your birthday. Aunt has sent the Benz for you; make sure to drive it over."
"Got it, Aunt."
"And dear, tonight, you’ll have to make a choice."
Shen Hongi couldn’t keep herself from ntioning it. However, she didn’t dare press further; her pulse quickened uncontrollably.
The anticipation and fear over what decision Li Zhiyan would make filled Shen Hongi’s heart.
"I understand, Aunt."
Li Zhiyan wasn’t the least bit anxious. From the information he’d gathered, he knew Aunt would confess to him tonight. So, it would be Aunt Shen and Aunt Rong who’d feel the headache—he didn’t need to worry much.
