Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

"From now on, we can live our own lives properly."

"Anyway, I can come over to accompany you whenever I'm free; the two of us can live very happily together."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian feel like she saw hope in life.

Feeling the warmth from Li Zhiyan, who was within arm's reach, Wu Qingxian found herself struggling to control her rationality.

She had pushed the matter with Zhou Rongrong to the back of her mind.

Then Wu Qingxian wrapped her arms tightly around Li Zhiyan and took the initiative to kiss him.

As for Wu Auntie's kiss,

Li Zhiyan naturally wouldn't resist and began to respond.

Li Zhiyan's heart thrilled with Wu Qingxian's initiative, thinking Zhang Honglei truly delivered his mother to his door and completely pushed Wu Auntie to his side.

Savoring Wu Qingxian's saliva, Li Zhiyan's hand slowly moved to rest on the back of Wu Auntie's head.

"Wu Auntie..."

Wu Qingxian knew what Li Zhiyan meant, and she slowly knelt down on the sofa.

Some things seem unacceptable before they happen,

but after they occur, they seem very ordinary in retrospect.

"Wu Auntie, does your jaw still ache?"

At that moment, Li Zhiyan showed concern for Wu Qingxian's health, being very attentive when it came to respecting elders.

"It doesn't ache anymore."

"Then let me have a turn feeling sore today; how about we help each other out?"

Wu Qingxian hugged Li Zhiyan and then nodded gently.

...

After a long while, Li Zhiyan, holding Wu Qingxian in his arms and looking at the expensive micro-landscape on the window, felt extremely content.

The mission was now marked as completed.

Li Zhiyan's savings had successfully reached 2.5 million.

He was one step closer to his goal of earning ten million a year.

Li Zhiyan stood up, approached the micro-landscape, and watered it.

The brook, with its new source of water, visibly brimmed with vitality.

And the miniature mountains within the landscape seemed to gain some energy as well.

Li Zhiyan really liked the feeling of this tiny, lively world.

"Wu Auntie, our relationship is so good now; please stay with me from now on, okay?"

"I think..."

He knew that after breaking through the boundary of kissing with Wu Auntie,

it was practically impossible to stop things from going further.

Li Zhiyan refrained from continuing, but Wu Qingxian understood very well that Li Zhiyan wanted her to truly become his woman.

It was the first time Wu Qingxian realized how troublesome the age difference could be.

If she were 18, she would have been with Li Zhiyan without a second thought.

Now, after celebrating another birthday, she was 41 years old.

Being with him meant facing too many challenges.

Moreover, the biggest issue between her and Li Zhiyan was actually Zhou Rongrong.

"Xiao Yan, things are quite good the way they are now."

"There's no need for us to be together."

"Once you find a girlfriend you like, I'll just be your elder again."

Thinking about everything she'd done with Li Zhiyan made Wu Qingxian feel like a shameless woman for crossing such boundaries with a man 23 years her junior.

If others found out, surely they would scorn her.

Having watched Li Zhiyan grow up, but now...

"Wu Auntie, I don't want you to just be an elder; I want to be with you, to get you pregnant, and have our own child."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian's pretty face involuntarily heat up.

What nonsense was Li Zhiyan talking about, her getting pregnant with his child?

She had watched Li Zhiyan grow from a toddler in split pants into an adult, and now to bear his child...

It was simply absurd.

"What nonsense is that? How could your aunt get pregnant with your child?"

Li Zhiyan said seriously, "Why couldn't you get pregnant with my child?"

"Some relationships just need a shift in perspective. Once we align that, we could be together, and you could bear my child."

Li Zhiyan's words made Wu Qingxian blush.

The topic was becoming more and more preposterous.

But in truth, she shared the blame.

All along, her emotions had been swayed by what was happening, leading to various incidents with Li Zhiyan.

By now, returning to her role as his elder hardly seemed possible, since they had been so honest with each other.

"Have you ever thought about what your mother would think if she found out about us?"

"Then let's not let her know," Li Zhiyan replied earnestly. "Wu Auntie, I genuinely like you."

"I just want to be with you."

"Please be with me. You're at your most beautiful and youthful now; it's the perfect time to get pregnant and have a child. With my financial condition, we could live a very relaxed and happy life."

Wu Qingxian realized that Li Zhiyan was speaking the truth.

If she had his child, their future would indeed be comfortable, since Zhang Honglei was thoroughly unreliable.

Now, her most pressing concerns were her age and the issue with Zhou Rongrong.

"Xiao Yan, please give your aunt some time to think about it, okay?"

Seeing Wu Qingxian's extremely distressed look, Li Zhiyan nodded.

"Okay, Wu Auntie. You take your time to think, but remember one thing,"

"The woman I've liked most since I was little is you, and so you're also my greatest love."
