By now, they had employed a shop assistant in the store, and once she got familiar with the business, the store could be temporarily entrusted to her management, allowing her to return and continue running the store after giving birth.
âXiao Yan is a really attentive child.â
At this moment, Jiang Xian recalled the many details of her efforts with Li Zhiyan to conceive a child.
Some were so crazy she dared not think about them deeply.
â¦
In the classroom, Li Zhiyan remembered the task assigned by Li Fuzhen.
This year, Li Fuzhen was exactly 40 years old, which was his favorite age. When could he have some stories with Li Fuzhen?
Thinking about it, he realized that his current company size was still far from sufficient.
âI should just focus on working hardâ¦â
âAfter growing the company, everything will have hope.â
Ever since he was reborn, Li Zhiyan had always made earning money his top priority.
As for the auntsâ missions, those were just incidental.
As school was about to end, Li Zhiyan spotted Yin Xueyang lurking near the back door.
Li Zhiyan couldnât help but chuckle.
The bet was nearing its end, and Yin Xueyang clearly knew she was no match for him anymore.
She probably wanted to plead with him not to propose any excessive conditions.
But to make her swallow her pride and beg him was simply more painful than killing herâ¦
Thinking about it made Li Zhiyan even more pleased; this period must have been incredibly tormenting for Yin Xueyang.
Li Zhiyan loved to see Yin Xueyang feeling this torment.
As the school bell rang, the classmates all left hurriedly.
âBrother Yan, letâs go play some games!â
Ziang Zexi and a few others called out.
âI have some business to attend to, you guys go ahead.â
The three werenât surprised. As a big boss, Li Zhiyan was obviously on a different level from them.
He surely had a lot to deal with typically, after all, money doesnât just appear in an account by magic.
He definitely had to put in ten to a hundred times more effort than ordinary people to achieve what he has now.
After everyone in the classroom had left,
Yin Xueyang then entered.
âLi Zhiyan.â
Looking at Li Zhiyan across from her, Yin Xueyang, in her embarrassment, discovered
that her admiration for Li Zhiyan seemed to be deepening little by little.
But in Yin Xueyangâs heart, she would never admit such emotions; she believed herself to be disdainful of Li Zhiyan.
âChief Yin, you didnât come to plead with me, did you?â
Li Zhiyanâs words turned Yin Xueyangâs pretty face instantly red.
It was alarmingly hot.
âWho would beg you!â
Yin Xueyang had intended to discuss with Li Zhiyan if they could just forget the bet, and she could offer him some financial compensation.
Letting Yin Xueyang feed Li Zhiyan was a huge humiliation for her, it was an act of bowing to the person she most disliked and despised; the thought alone was unbearable for Yin Xueyang.
In reality, begging him wasnât really an issue.
However, after Li Zhiyan explicitly pointed it out, she felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, experiencing a loss of self-esteem.
She really wanted to slap Li Zhiyan.
âYou think youâre such a big deal!â
Yin Xueyang was still unforgiving in her words.
âThatâs for the best. I was thinking, if you begged me and then offered some compensation, we could nullify the bet, but Aunt Yin.â
âSince youâre so serious, I have no choice but to stick to the original conditions.â
âYou feed me.â
âLetâs leave it at that. I have other things to handle, so Iâm leaving.â
Li Zhiyan wanted to accompany Jiang Xian.
So he didnât have much desire to further waste time here with Yin Xueyang.
âYou!â
Watching Li Zhiyanâs departing figure,
Yin Xueyang felt some regret. Had she just begged him earlier and offered some financial compensation, would she not have to feed him?
She was too impulsive.
Thinking about it made Yin Xueyangâs heart ache unbearably.
âOtherwise, next week, Iâll properly beg himâ¦â@@novelbin@@
âLosing some dignity is better than feeding him, right?â
Yin Xueyang thought it over and realized that losing dignity in front of Li Zhiyan wasnât the first or second time, and maybe, it wasnât so severe?
Her heart began to waver.
â¦
After returning home with Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan started directing the setup; the yard was quickly arranged to have a very natural, fresh atmosphere.
After the workers had left, Li Zhiyan said, âAunt Jiang, this place is now ideal for nurturing your pregnancy; just take walks here whenever youâre free.â
âWeâll install some fine mesh overhead to prevent anyone from throwing things from above.â
âAnd set up cameras all around.â
Li Zhiyanâs words made Jiang Xianâs heart feel exceedingly blissful.
âYouâre quite thoughtful.â
âNot thoughtful, but now that youâre carrying both our child, we need to be extra careful.â
âAlright, Xiao Yan, letâs go buy groceries; Iâll cook you something delicious tonight.â
Jiang Xian completely felt a sense of home, being able to live such a life here was indeed very blissful.
âOkay.â
The two locked the door and then hand in hand, went to a large nearby supermarket.
âXiao Yan, what would you like to eat?â
âAunt Jiang, I would like to have abalone, and also some black fungusâ¦â
Li Zhiyan listed the dishes one by one, and Jiang Xian bought all these items.
As the two were pushing the cart around the corner of the shelves,
Li Zhiyanâs heart suddenly started pounding.
Why would his mother be here?
Then he remembered, this place seemed to be near his motherâs company!
When Zhou Rongrong saw Jiang Xian, she also couldnât believe it; she hadnât expected to encounter her sonâs teacherâs wife here.
But why would her son also be here, and they seemed to be very close too!
