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

After sitting down, Li Zhiyan slowly lay down and rested his head on the pillow.

The pillow still carried Auntie Jiang's fragrance, which was somewhat refreshing to the senses.

Gazing at Auntie Jiang's red lips, Li Zhiyan called out, "Master's wife."

This address startled Jiang Xian, making it somewhat difficult for her to control the bashfulness in her heart.

"Why are you calling me 'Master's wife' again? I'm already divorced, I'm not your master's wife anymore, don't call me that at a time like this."

"I just find it interesting to address you this way."

...

After a while, Jiang Xian gulped down a bottle of mineral water before swallowing it all.

Li Zhiyan pulled Jiang Xian into his arms, lying her on his chest, while inhaling the scent from Auntie Jiang's hair.

Li Zhiyan said softly, "Auntie Jiang, can we... possibly...?"

His voice was very gentle, although he didn't articulate completely.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But Jiang Xian knew what Li Zhiyan was thinking.

"Xiao Yan, it's not possible."

"We're still in a relationship of elder and younger kin, but if we really take that step, there's no turning back."

"You're still young, you can't waste all your time on your auntie."

"In the future, whatever you want to do, your auntie is willing, and I won't hold you responsible, just don't..."

Jiang Xian was being somewhat more rational in her thoughts.

She had always seen Li Zhiyan as just an 18-year-old kid.

Some things, once started, are very hard to stop.

Li Zhiyan grasped Jiang Xian's hand, then leaned against her embrace.

"Auntie Jiang, can you stop thinking so much, please."

"Let's just be together. Didn't you promise to give it some serious thought before?"

"Is that okay?"

Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian's blushing cheek, exploiting to the full the advantage of being seen as a kid in front of Auntie Jiang.

He knew he had to strike while the iron was hot with his and Auntie Jiang's affair.

"Give your auntie some more time, alright?"

"Mealtime is coming up, I'm going to open the store soon, and I'll cook for you in a bit."

Li Zhiyan knew he couldn't push too hard. After all, there was a 23-year age gap between Auntie Jiang and himself, which certainly gave her significant pause.

"Alright, then I'll go to the milk tea shop and make a couple of cold drinks to bring over."

Li Zhiyan followed Jiang Xian and together they rolled up the shutter door of the clothing shop.

Quickly, a woman came to buy clothes, and Jiang Xian warmly started to assist her.

...

While walking on the street, Li Zhiyan glanced at the system; the task had been completed.

A new task was released by Li Zhiyan's system.

This made his heart surge with excitement, as the speed at which the system was issuing tasks was getting faster and faster. He had successfully broken through the one million barrier again, reaching 1.1 million.

With just 1.9 million more, he could become the owner of an internet company earning tens of millions a year. Life with a system was indeed the most comfortable.

"New task released."

"After Yen Zhengjin's detention ends, he will mortgage all his car and house in a bid to break even."

"But seven days later, he will have gambled away all his mortgaged savings."

"Afterward, he will seek high-interest loans from informal lending organizations."

"And will expose Jiang Xian's location."

"Jiang Xian will be harassed by the debt collectors."

"Please solve Jiang Xian's problem."

"Task reward, two hundred thousand in cash."

This time, the reward was a hefty two hundred thousand, which excited Li Zhiyan immensely, as completing this task was like covering two tasks.

This problem wasn't difficult for him to solve; he had already established connections when Aunt Fang was dealing with her debt crisis, and he could easily solve it with a phone call.

But for Auntie Jiang, this would certainly be an extremely touching moment. Then, he could seize the opportunity to talk to her about some matters.

"Indeed, gambling is an endless abyss."

"Yen Zhengjin knows very well that gambling is a scam and that he could have stopped after being detained and gone on to live a normal life."

"But he still wants to mortgage his house for a big gamble; that's truly insane."

At that moment, the system gave another prompt.

It wasn't to issue a task, but a warning.

"Reminder, Fang Zhiya will visit Jiang Xian's clothing store to shop in ten minutes."

"During this period, do not engage in intimate behaviors with Jiang Xian."

"Otherwise, accidents can easily occur."

Li Zhiyan broke out in a cold sweat. When the store was empty, he liked to flirt with Auntie Jiang and kiss her. Although she would symbolically resist, she would respond when she saw no one was around.

And she even let him touch her legs...

But his and Auntie Jiang's actions were often witnessed by others. Every time, Auntie Jiang was embarrassed to no end. Ordinarily, if he brought milk tea over later,

He would definitely have to be intimate with Auntie Jiang for a good while.

If Fang Zhiya were to see that, there would be trouble.

"System, you're definitely not a Wimpy System. Even a Super Rooster System doesn't fit you; you should be called the Super Rooster System!"

Li Zhiyan fully realized the power of the system.

When he reached the milk tea shop, noticing its thriving business, he found a seat and decided to wait a while before preparing the drinks.

...

In the clothing store, Fang Zhiya, dressed very conservatively, arrived.

Taking the rare opportunity to rest, she liked to go out shopping when she was free. She was clearly too scared to go out at night, so she took the chance to come out during the day.
