Chapter 357: 135 Catherine gives Li Zhiyan a birthday surprise, and it's baffling!
Much later, Zhao Shumin threw the trash into the bin.
Her delicate face was flushed with extraordinary beauty. After finishing everything, Zhao Shumin returned to the bed and lay in Li Zhiyan's arms.
Feeling Aunt Zhao's warmth, Li Zhiyan's heart brimmed with affection at level twenty-five. Aunt Zhao, while helpless, also felt a bit flustered.
This kid…
"Xiao Yan, for the next week, you need to behave, understand? Your aunt made an agreement with you, and you absolutely have to stick to it."
Li Zhiyan didn't respond. He could sense that Aunt Zhao was visibly reluctant to end things.
Tomorrow is his birthday. When the time comes, if he makes some unreasonable requests, Aunt Zhao probably wouldn't object, right?
"Aunt, you were really passionate just now."
Zhao Shumin felt deeply ashamed. Indeed, when relatives had just left, one might naturally become more enthusiastic.
It was an instinct—a feeling Zhao Shumin wasn't immune to, particularly after suppressing her emotions for years.
You could say her loneliness was beyond description.
"Don't say that, Xiao Yan. Your aunt's tired and needs to sleep."
At this moment, Zhao Shumin couldn't bring herself to face Li Zhiyan and shut her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Li Zhiyan's hand gently caressed Aunt Zhao's black-stockinged, elegant legs, silently waiting for dawn to arrive.
Soon enough, the clock struck midnight, and system intel refreshed on time.
The first piece of intel was another ten-thousand-yuan wild bonus. This seemed to have become a regular occurrence in the updates.
With a balance of nine hundred thousand yuan already saved, Li Zhiyan calculated that he was truly just a step away from becoming a millionaire.
This made him increasingly anticipate the day that his bank account would boast a seven-digit figure—it was bound to feel spectacular.
"Catherine knows it's your birthday, so she plans to prepare a birthday gift for you tomorrow to urge you to complete the remaining six agreements with her more quickly."
This intel genuinely left Li Zhiyan dumbfounded. Catherine? She was his legitimate enemy!
Her mind was constantly occupied with orchestrating plans to take him down or entrap him. Yet now, Catherine actually wanted to help him celebrate his birthday?
This was downright surreal. Although he was well aware Catherine had ulterior motives, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel something profoundly strange stirring inside him. Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.
"After struggling internally for a long time, Lai Feifei's determination has grown increasingly firm. Tomorrow night, during your birthday party when you must choose between He Yanrong and Shen Hongmei, she plans to confess her feelings to you."
This news was like a massive bombshell, throwing Li Zhiyan completely off balance. Soon enough, his heart was overwhelmed with excitement.
He'd been troubled by the issue of choosing, but now Aunt Lai planned to step in unexpectedly. This meant he'd be spared from significant trouble.
Aunt Lai truly deserved to be called his closest aunt!
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel as though life was a dream. That feisty, fiery woman famous for her dragon-fruit wine antics was about to confess to him?
Thinking of Aunt Lai's stunningly beautiful face, her curvaceous figure, and those black-stockinged legs, Li Zhiyan found his heart itching with uncontainable desire.
This time, it seemed that all three of the Shanghai Three Aunts would belong exclusively to him!
With visions of his upcoming birthday in mind, Li Zhiyan fell asleep holding Aunt Zhao close in his arms.
Sleeping with Aunt Zhao like this brought an immense sense of security. Li Zhiyan slept exceptionally well.
...
The next morning, after freshening up, Li Zhiyan returned to his room.
Just as he sat down, Aunt Zhao leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
The moment Aunt Zhao kissed him, Li Zhiyan felt a sudden wave of disbelief—today, Aunt Zhao was unexpectedly so proactive.
This was almost absurd.
But, naturally, Li Zhiyan didn't hold back. Wrapping his arms tightly around Aunt Zhao, he enjoyed her soft, fragrant warmth, kissing her with abandon.
Only after what seemed like an eternity did they separate to eat breakfast.
"Aunt, why are you so forward today?"
Li Zhiyan's heart was filled with curiosity.
"Xiao Yan, today is your birthday. Your aunt will do her best to make you happy. You've always liked kissing your aunt, haven't you?"
"For today, your aunt will take the initiative."
"Okay, Aunt, you're the best. Tonight, just come directly to my bed and sleep there. Don't wait for me to call you."
Li Zhiyan spoke expectantly, sincerely enjoying the sense of security derived from sleeping with Zhao Shumin.
"Alright, your aunt got it."
While eating together with Li Zhiyan, Zhao Shumin planned to head out later to order him a birthday cake.
As Li Zhiyan ate his meal, his hands restlessly caressed Zhao Shumin's smooth, elegant legs. This made it utterly impossible for Zhao Shumin to concentrate on eating.
While feeling ashamed, Zhao Shumin also felt her hormones surging uncontrollably.
"Aunt, are there more?"
"Why are you asking? You'll have to wait until next week to use that."
"Aunt, I'm preparing ahead—anticipating needs before they arise. If you take medication, it's not good for your body. Making preparations ensures everything will be perfect."
"You little rascal, stop talking!"
Zhao Shumin's face was flushing visibly. Being around Li Zhiyan, his casual words always made her feel deeply embarrassed inside.
"Okay, Aunt, tonight make sure to hold me close."
"Alright, Xiao Yan. Hurry and finish your meal so you can head off to work."
This time, Li Zhiyan didn't continue teasing Zhao Shumin; he focused on eating contentedly. He could tell Aunt Zhao was genuinely overwhelmed with shyness.
...
On his way to work, Li Zhiyan couldn't stop feeling incredibly cheerful—the fiery wine aficionado was actually going to openly confess her feelings to him.
