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

Chapter 28: 028 New Mission

Although Gu Wanzhou said she would "think about it," Li Zhiyan knew that this was already a significant breakthrough.

As long as she considered it, she would be continuously pushed forward.

In the d, she would be with him.

"Okay, Aunt Gu, let me take you home."

Gu Wanzhou nodded; for some reason, her face was getting hotter by the momt.

The night was dark, and shadows lurking in the darkness seemed to hide many dangers, with wild cats occasionally darting back and forth.

In the past, such a situation would have made Gu Wanzhou feel fearful and scared.

But now, with Li Zhiyan by her side, all she felt was a sse of safety filling her heart.

"By the way, dear, Auntie has decided to buy the house."

"Rectly, I've se a few nice ones, just as an investmt."

"What you said last time was really good."

"The more Auntie thinks about it, the more it makes sse."

Li Zhiyan confidtly said, "Don't worry, the price of the house is definitely going up."

"Anyway, by the time school starts, you should see some return on the investmt."

"The price of housing in the future is bound to change every day."

Walking hand in hand, several passersby gave Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou strange looks.

This guy's really lucky with wom!

In fact, there are many people in society who fancy married and mature wom.

They just don't dare to say it out loud.

This kind of gaze made Gu Wanzhou feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Dear, is it strange for us to hold hands like this?"

"No worries, Aunt Gu, they probably think you're my mom, holding hands betwe mother and son is very normal, right?"

Hearing Li Zhiyan say this, Gu Wanzhou's heart felt at ease.

Actually, a large age differce can sometimes be a good thing; people won't think about it in terms of romance.

After all, a relationship betwe an 8-year-old young man and a 4-year-old woman is somewhat absurd.

It was only after they had reached the trance of the housing complex hand in hand that Gu Wanzhou said, "Dear, let go of Auntie's hand."

"There are many acquaintances in the complex."

"It wouldn't be good if people saw us."

Li Zhiyan let go of Gu Wanzhou's hand.

Continuing like this would indeed be improper.

"Alright, Aunt Gu,"

"I'll walk you down th head home."

Side by side, they arrived at the foot of the apartmt building, and Li Zhiyan hugged her before Gu Wanzhou could react.

"Aunt Gu, goodbye."

"Goodbye..."

The warmth on Gu Wanzhou's face never faded away.

Upstairs, Yu Sisi, who had just arrived at the window, saw her mom saying goodbye to a man.

She felt a bit puzzled.

Her mom couldn't possibly be thinking about dating, could she?

...

Wh Li Zhiyan got home, the lights were still on, and Zhou Rongrong was sitting in the living room waiting for him to return.

Seeing his mom under the orange glow of the light, Li Zhiyan's heart felt warm.

The smell of a burning coal stove wafted from the kitch, obviously his mom fearing he would be hungry, had prepared a meal for him.

"Xiao Yan, are you hungry?"

"Mom made you some chick and mushroom stew, it's warming on the stove."

Li Zhiyan hummed in response; he was indeed a bit hungry now.

After changing his shoes, he sat at the dining table like a good baby, waiting for his mom's cooking.

Once she had served the dishes, the steamed buns, and the chilled mung bean soup,

Zhou Rongrong curiously asked, "Son, that girl you dated, she must like you a lot, right?"

"You used to ask mom if, being so ordinary, you would have a girl willing to stay with you for life."

"Here it is,"

Zhou Rongrong's gaze and words were filled with a mother's love.

"Mom, it's still too early for that, please don't ask so many questions. Anyway, I'll definitely bring my girlfrid to meet you in the future,"

The one he could bring home for mom to see was surely Su Mgch.

Ev though his mom said she didn't care,

if he really brought Gu Wanzhou or Rao Shi Yun home, he guessed it could very well kill her with anger.

"Alright, th I'll wait to meet my daughter-in-law!"

"Mom's going to bed now, I still have to work tomorrow. Just leave the dishes on the table after you're done, and I'll clean up wh I wake up in the morning,"

Watching his mother's back as she returned to her room, Li Zhiyan felt profoundly satisfied.

The feeling of having someone waiting for you wh you come home, it was truly blissful, blissful indeed.

...

After returning to his room, Li Zhiyan turned on his fan, and the cool breeze blew over him.

He felt incredibly comfortable, casually turning on his computer while checking his message notifications.

The system's reward of fifty thousand yuan had be deposited into his account.

"Now I have savings of 30,000 yuan, one step closer to becoming a millionaire,"

"This is really like picking up money."

"Let's see if the system tasks have refreshed."

As expected, the system tasks had be refreshed.

"The day after tomorrow night, Lew Huan is colluding with a few business partners to get Rao Shi Yun drunk at a dinner party and take the opportunity to bring her to a hotel room."

"Please prevt Lew Huan's conspiracy."

"And find a way to kiss Rao Shi Yun on the lips."

"Task reward, sevty thousand yuan in cash."

"Skill, Wine God learning in progress."

"Wine God skill, once learning is complete, you will not get drunk no matter how much you drink."

"No drunkard can be a match for you."

"Receive, Lew Huan's wife's cell phone number is as follows."

Li Zhiyan was somewhat excited, as the skills provided by the system were still very powerful.

Regarding Rao Shi Yun having a dinner party again, Li Zhiyan wasn't surprised.

People in business, if not attding drinking parties every day, th definitely every three to five days—after all, China is a relationship-orited society, and as of t years ago, the drinking culture was still very prevalt.

"Wine God skill! This is so practical, if I were to mix with the system in the future, I'd definitely be invincible."

"And what's up with Lew Huan's wife's phone number?"

However, Li Zhiyan thought Lew Huan's wife must be beautiful.

After all, Lew Huan was quite handsome, and those who are good-looking and relatively wealthy definitely wouldn't have an ugly wife.

"But..."

"This task of kissing Auntie Rao is a bit tricky, it's ev on the lips!"

"Looks like I need to plan this out carefully."

"If there's a task to breastfeed in the future, that would really be a headache."

...

Late at night, Gu Wanzhou lay in her bed, tossing and turning restlessly.

Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions, seemingly a flutter of emotional disturbance.

The sudd appearance of this kid, Li Zhiyan,

truly threw her off balance.

"Xiao Yan, why do you like an older woman like your aunt?"

In her mind, the sce of Li Zhiyan saving her today echoed incessantly.

Although the kid was only 8, the sce where he stood in front of her beating up the guy over six feet tall, Huang Mao,

really made her feel so safe.

As she thought about it, Gu Wanzhou felt a surge of emotion within her.

In the moonlight, she looked at her long and fair fingers.

Gu Wanzhou slowly got up, oped the bedside table, and found the nail clippers.

She began to trim her middle fingernail.
