CHAPTER 428: 152 AUNT STRIKES BACK AT AUNT RONG; CATHERINE PLEADS WITH LI ZHIYAN! _2

Could it be that, deep down, I secretly want to cross the line with Zaizai?

"Okay, Aunt."

After following Aunt Rong to the kitchen, Li Zhiyan noticed that Aunt Rong’s enchanting demeanor was somewhat similar to the Chairman’s Wife, Yu Nianyao.

However, Aunt Rong’s flirtatiousness was entirely out in the open.

Whereas the Chairman’s Wife appeared much more reserved.

"Xiao Yan, things have been going smoothly at the company lately, right?"

"Pretty smoothly."

"How’s Liu Jinxin doing at the company?"

Liu Jinxin usually didn’t like coming home. Most of the time, he preferred messing around with Xu Qianqian.

Now, he’s out every day with Jin Mengyu and Liu Yichen, caught up in his fantasy of being Changlong Group’s "princeling."

But Li Zhiyan always remembered the principle of not speaking ill of her son in front of her mother.

Unless He Yanrong herself was disappointed in Liu Jinxin, Li Zhiyan wouldn’t badmouth him.

"He’s doing fine."

"That’s good to hear."

The two chatted as they cooked, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

He Yanrong thought that if things stayed this way, it wouldn’t be so bad—not crossing any lines with Li Zhiyan and simply acting like his elder, watching him find a girlfriend his own age. That would be nice enough.

"Aunt, I’m a little hungry."

"If you keep this up, Aunt’s going to get angry!"

"Aunt, I just want to eat. What’s there to be angry about?"

"Oh... wait a bit, Aunt is already making you food."

As the two continued chatting, and He Yanrong’s mood gradually relaxed, the petite and delicate Aunt Zaizai came down the stairs.

"Zaizai!"

When Lai Feifei’s voice calling out to Li Zhiyan drifted into her ears, He Yanrong’s calm mood suddenly began to ripple.

"Aunt Zaizai!"

Li Zhiyan turned around, and Lai Feifei dashed into the kitchen, throwing her arms around him.

"Zaizai, Aunt’s precious Zaizai!"

"Here’s your favorite milk."

Even at this moment, Lai Feifei hadn’t forgotten to hand Li Zhiyan two bottles of his favorite milk.

"Aunt Zaizai."

After accepting the milk, Li Zhiyan placed it on the kitchen island and wrapped his arms around Aunt Zaizai’s waist.

This scene made a sour feeling rise in He Yanrong’s heart. That crazy woman—utterly shameless—getting all touchy-feely with the baby right after waking up; what kind of behavior was this?

And the hug was so intimate. But He Yanrong understood that this wasn’t the time to say anything, since the two of them were already in a relationship.

Today was their first day of dating.

"Zaizai, open your mouth!"

Just as Li Zhiyan was about to say something, Aunt Zaizai leaned in and kissed him on the lips, catching him completely off guard.

He was genuinely surprised by Aunt Zaizai’s boldness. But as he felt her warm kiss, Li Zhiyan tightened his embrace around her waist.

After the kiss, Aunt Zaizai shot a provocative look in He Yanrong’s direction.

This made He Yanrong turn her head away and focus on cooking.

She knew this was the crazy woman’s revenge for that time she kissed the baby on the park bench.

Listening to the sounds behind her, a wave of jealousy surged within He Yanrong.

A few minutes later, she couldn’t hold back and snapped, "You crazy woman, if you’re going to kiss, go do it on the living room sofa!"

"And don’t even think about crossing the line—I’ll be watching you the whole time!"

After separating from Li Zhiyan, Lai Feifei looked at He Yanrong and said, "Do you really think I’m as shameless as you? Zaizai and I are perfectly innocent. I’m just going to take out the trash."

Heading into the living room, Lai Feifei picked up the trash bag and her handbag before walking out.

Knowing her stylish bestie’s insistence on looking great even at her worst, He Yanrong wasn’t particularly surprised. On her way out the door, Lai Feifei hesitated nervously, worried that He Yanrong might call her back to check her bag.

Fortunately, He Yanrong didn’t seem to have such intentions, allowing Lai Feifei to relax.

"Zaizai, come outside with me to take out the trash."

"You’re just taking out trash—why does the baby have to go with you?"

He Yanrong’s tone carried a hint of teasing.

"Zaizai is my bodyguard. Of course he has to follow me!"

Li Zhiyan walked up, and Lai Feifei happily grabbed his hand as they headed outside.

He Yanrong couldn’t help but feel that instead of monitoring the two, she had somehow turned into Lai Feifei’s babysitter.

But then again, what could she really expect from this boozy troublemaker?

Just then, Liu Xiaoxiao’s phone call came in. After answering,

He Yanrong heard Liu Xiaoxiao’s slightly plaintive voice.

"Mom!"

"Are you not home?"

"No, I’m not."

"I’m hungry! Are you cooking for someone else?"

"I’m at Aunt Lai’s house."

"Well, I want to eat tonight! You’ve been cooking for me for so many years, and I want your food again."

Hearing her daughter’s whining, He Yanrong reluctantly said she would go home that night, though it might be late.

Still, Liu Xiaoxiao didn’t seem to mind, as long as there was delicious food waiting for her.

...

After tossing all the trash into the bin,

Looking at the overflowing garbage, Lai Feifei asked, "Zaizai, have you gone to the hospital for a physical exam? Maybe get a scan done? Aunt is really worried about your health."

"I’ll go in a few days. Aunt Zaizai, if there’s anything wrong with my body, I’d definitely feel it!"

Li Zhiyan felt somewhat helpless; his aunts were excessively concerned about his health. However, he knew it was only natural—they cared for him deeply.

Still, he figured it might be worthwhile to see a professional doctor for a thorough checkup, if only to prove how perfectly healthy he was!
