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

Chapter 194: 103 It's a safe period now, we don't need it this time!_2

After running the milk tea shop and internet café, Li Zhiyan gained some experience in opening stores, which was more than enough to guide Jiang Xian.

"Okay..."

The more Jiang Xian interacted with Li Zhiyan, the more capable she believed him to be. Getting a business license was difficult, yet he could handle it with ease.

Coming from a poor background, he truly was a self-made man, a perfect child, indeed.

If only he were her own son.

For some reason, Jiang Xian's mind replayed the image of him scrutinizing her closely.

Her heart felt incredibly shy.

Before long, the renovation team arrived, and after Jiang Xian expressed her stylistic preferences for the interior,

they said they could complete the work within three days.

In the following time, the two of them stood there, overseeing the renovation work.

It wasn't until after seven o'clock, when the renovation team finished for the day,

that Li Zhiyan and Jiang Xian left the place.

"Auntie Jiang, let's go have dinner."

"Sure."

Jiang Xian had gone through a whirlwind of emotions that day, so she was quite hungry now.

The pair arrived at a restaurant, and after ordering, Li Zhiyan placed his hand on Jiang Xian's beautiful leg.

"Xiao Yan, what are you doing, there are so many people around."

"We're in a corner, Auntie Jiang, it's fine."

"I'm just touching your leg."

Though Jiang Xian blushed, she didn't say anything. After all, leg touching had become quite common between her and Li Zhiyan.

Even kissing was a frequent occurrence.

And with her emotions running high, she had taken the initiative to kiss him last time, and today was no different.

She had even actively advised Li Zhiyan on what to do.

"Xiao Yan, be careful not to let others see."

"Then I'll cover it with your skirt and there will be no problem."

Li Zhiyan lifted Jiang Xian's skirt to hide his hand from view.

Before long, the waiter began serving the dishes.

Jiang Xian quickly grabbed Li Zhiyan's hand, halting him.

"Let's eat quickly."

"Okay, Auntie Jiang, try this mung bean cake."

Li Zhiyan started to serve Jiang Xian dish after dish, which rapidly intensified the feeling of happiness in her heart.

"Auntie Jiang, let me feed you."

Watching Li Zhiyan pick up a piece of stir-fried pork with his chopsticks,

Jiang Xian opened her mouth to receive it, her heart brimming with happiness.

Somehow, Jiang Xian felt more and more like being with Li Zhiyan was like being in a romantic relationship.

And the image of Li Zhiyan watching her intently echoed in Jiang Xian's mind.

...

Jiang Xian's mood had improved significantly, and as a store owner, she found solace and hope for the future.

On the other hand, Yen Zhengjin was completely annoyed...

He had never dreamed that Jiang Xian, who had promised to return,

would change her mind so suddenly, even though he had been prepared to take three pills that night!

It infuriated Yen Zhengjin that neither Jiang Xian's parents nor his own could reach her by phone.

Latter on, she went as far as to turn off her phone completely, suggesting she was determined not to return.

Jiang Xian's parents stood there, feeling a deep sense of shame. Find your next read on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

Their daughter was the one who had an affair, and now she was refusing to return, a modern-day Pan Jinlian.

They found the situation unbearable.

"Son-in-law, your dad and I will go out and look for her."

By this point, no one had eaten, and it was quite late for two people in their seventies to be out searching for her, clearly inappropriate.

But Yen Zhengjin said nothing and just watched the elderly couple leave.

Afterwards, he sat down on the sofa, his mind occupied with memories of her beautiful face and graceful figure.

Was he really about to lose all of it?

Thinking about it made Yen Zhengjin incredibly frustrated. Why hadn't he cherished the time when his former wife was by his side?

If only he had taken better care of himself, how happy he would be now.

Could he and his ex-wife remarry?

As he pondered, visions of the arcade floated in Yen Zhengjin's mind once again, and he felt the urge to game resurfacing.

It was indeed time to vent his frustrations.

"Zhengjin, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to look for my wife."

Yen Zhengjin grabbed his bag and left, watching the elderly couple struggle to search the streets for Jiang Xian. He sneered.

Then he went to the ATM, intending to withdraw tens of thousands of yuan to continue "running trains" in the arcade.

...

After they had finished eating, Li Zhiyan was about to pay when he realized that Jiang Xian had already secretly paid the bill.

This made him somewhat contemplative.

For a young fairy, it's second nature for men to pay for meals,

and he should even thank her for giving him the opportunity to do so.

In contrast, it was entirely different with Auntie Jiang. Compared to her, Auntie truly was perfect, not only in age, appearance, and figure, which all matched what he desired but also in character, far surpassing the likes of Yu Sisi.

"Auntie Jiang, you should call your parents now."

"I think they're probably not at Yen Zhengjin's house anymore."

Li Zhiyan was attentive, knowing that those were Auntie Jiang's parents, so he needed to show concern.

"Xiao Yan, you care so much about Auntie's parents, huh?"

"Of course!"

The two of them walked down the street.
