However, Aunt Lai still softly muttered, "Zaizai."
"From now on, you’re truly Auntie’s little one."
Lai Feifei’s playful words left Li Zhiyan sowhat at a loss, but after getting up, he picked up the blanket and covered Aunt Lai with it.
Looking at the many cartons of "Zaizai Milk" scattered in the room, a surge of warmth uncontrollably filled Li Zhiyan’s heart.
"Aunt Lai, are you asleep?"
Li Zhiyan lay down beside Aunt Lai and whispered softly into her ear.
Taking in the sight of Aunt Lai’s fair, lovely face, Li Zhiyan gently kissed her lips.
"Not asleep yet, Zaizai, stay with Auntie for a while..."
Li Zhiyan, who had initially planned to leave, paused for a mont upon hearing Aunt Lai’s words.
Then, Aunt Lai extended her small hand, grabbing tightly onto Li Zhiyan’s wrist and moving it back and forth, as if she didn’t want him to leave.
"Zaizai, stay with Auntie a little longer..."
...
It was only a long while later that Li Zhiyan finally left Lai Feifei’s house. By then, it was already close to 11 PM.
Aunt Zhao must be worrying by now.
As soon as he stepped out, Li Zhiyan received a call from Aunt Zhao.
"Xiao Yan, are you off work yet?"
"Auntie, I’ll be ho in about ten minutes."
Hearing that Li Zhiyan was on his way back, Zhao Shumin felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been truly anxious that he wouldn’t make it ho before midnight.
If that happened, she wouldn’t be able to celebrate his birthday.
"Alright, Auntie will wait for you to co back."
After hanging up, Li Zhiyan pressed the accelerator hard, unable to suppress his eagerness to see Aunt Zhao.
When he reached the complex and parked the car, Li Zhiyan picked up the birthday gift he had brought and made his way ho.
This gold brick worth at least half a million in the trunk was sothing Li Zhiyan could never feel at ease leaving there.
Just as he reached the hallway, he spotted Zhao Shumin busying herself in the kitchen, likely reheating dishes for him.
"Aunt Zhao!"
"Xiao Yan, you’re back! Co in quickly, Auntie’s heating up food for you."
Unlocking the door with his keys, Li Zhiyan headed straight to the kitchen. The first thing he did when he saw Aunt Zhao was wrap her in a tight, seamless hug.
This was sothing Aunt Zhao had already grown accustod to. She responded to him naturally, feeling his hands wandering over her black-stocking-clad legs.
An indescribable restlessness stirred within her, and it was only after a long mont that Li Zhiyan let her go.
"Xiao Yan."
"Auntie, you put on makeup today. You look absolutely stunning."
For his birthday today, Zhao Shumin had clearly put in a great deal of effort. She had spent several hours in the afternoon doing her makeup, which looked even better than yesterday’s.
The fiery, outspoken woman from before was now brimming with feminine charm.
"Xiao Yan, do you like Auntie’s makeup?"
"I love it. Auntie, you’re incredibly thoughtful."
Li Zhiyan wrapped his arm around Aunt Zhao’s waist, his eyes trailing over the enticing curves of her neckline, as his hands road along her smooth, shapely legs.
Despite the sweat forming on their bodies, neither seed to mind.
"The pot’s boiling!"
Removing his hands, Zhao Shumin lifted the lid off the pot, revealing the dishes she had prepared for Li Zhiyan.
After bringing the food to the table, Zhao Shumin noticed the watch on Li Zhiyan’s wrist.
"Xiao Yan, was that watch a gift from soone? How much did it cost?"
"A colleague gave it to . It’s not expensive," he replied casually.
"A fake one, just a hundred bucks or so."
Li Zhiyan knew that if he told her the watch was actually worth over half a million, Aunt Zhao would never believe him.
