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

"Auntie Jiang, did you miss me?"

Feeling Li Zhiyan's burning gaze, how could Jiang Xian not understand his meaning?

"I did, Xiao Yan, you came today just to spend time with Auntie, right?"

Jiang Xian, holding Li Zhiyan's hand, walked towards the master bedroom.

"Yeah, but Auntie Jiang, I won't be able to join you for dinner tonight."

"It's okay, I understand you, just having you come over makes me feel content."

"Alright, I'll come over again to keep you company on New Year's Eve."

That night of New Year's Eve, Li Zhiyan would be able to come out and celebrate the New Year, so he would have much more time.

He knew it was entirely possible to take care of all the aunties.

"Hmm..."

"Xiao Yan, be gentle, you know, you must be very careful with the child."

"I understand..."

After a long while, Li Zhiyan, holding Jiang Xian's hand, stepped out for a walk outside.

Though it was lightly snowing, with Li Zhiyan holding her hand, Jiang Xian wasn't scared at all of slipping.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for giving this child to Auntie."

"With our daughter keeping Auntie company every day in the future, Auntie is sure to be very happy."

Gently caressing her belly, Jiang Xian's heart filled with anticipation for the future.

Chatting, the two arrived at the park outside the residential complex.

"Alright, Auntie Jiang, once the child is born, we'll work hard and try for a second one."

Li Zhiyan said jokingly.

"Let's not, one child is plenty, Auntie is getting on in years, you expect me to have a second child, you're after my life!"

"I was just teasing you, if you really wanted a second one, I'd hate to part with you."

Li Zhiyan possessed the ability to control the birth of his daughter, as well as the ability not to conceive.

Therefore, contraception was a breeze for him; it was just that this was his secret, something about the 'System' that no one could ever speak of.

"Xiao Yan, you should head back home quickly; it's getting dark already."

"Go home and keep your mother company."

"Auntie knows you're usually quite busy."

"Auntie Jiang, after I see you home, then I'll leave; otherwise, I'll worry."

"Mmm, okay..."

After seeing Jiang Xian back home and lightly kissing her on the lips, Li Zhiyan finally left the complex.

Soon enough, he arrived at his last stop — Fang Zhiya's home.

He had let Fang Zhiya know beforehand, so she had been waiting for him.

As Li Zhiyan entered, he smelled the aroma of noodles.

The day before, Fang Zhiya had given the nanny leave to go home for New Year's, and Li Zhiyan had been paying close attention to the System's danger alerts but had not been too concerned once there seemed to be no issues.

"Aunt Fang, having noodles for the New Year's meal?"

"Yes, I feel like eating noodles now, with some hot sauce. They say 'sour for boys and spicy for girls,' maybe it's because there's a girl in the belly."

After Fang Zhiya, dressed in black stockings, finished cooking the noodles in the kitchen,

she turned to come out, Li Zhiyan could tell that Fang Zhiya wore the black stockings to cater to his taste, but omitted high heels for the baby's safety.

Ever since the pregnancy, apart from the very beginning, Fang Zhiya had not worn high heels again.

Of course, wearing them while sitting on the sofa doesn't count, as there's no need to walk.

"Aunt Fang, just stay in the kitchen for a while."

Fang Zhiya, wearing a dress, clung to the edge of the cabinet, planning to rest in the kitchen for a bit.

...

Once the noodles were brought to the table, they were no longer scorching hot.

"Xiao Yan, join Auntie for some, won't you?"

"Alright, but Auntie, I can't eat too much otherwise my mom will be unhappy tonight and won't eat."

"It's okay, Xiao Yan."

"Just one bowl is fine, you used to eat so much more when you had Auntie's noodles and hot sauce."

After serving Li Zhiyan nearly a full bowl of noodles, Fang Zhiya pushed the hot sauce towards him.

Li Zhiyan added a spoonful of hot sauce for himself and another for Fang Zhiya; it was his favorite thing to eat.

Originally, Fang Zhiya's noodle stall was doing quite well because of this hot sauce.

Quietly eating the somewhat spicy noodles, Fang Zhiya didn't feel that having such a meal on New Year's was bleak but rather incredibly warm. The time spent with Li Zhiyan over the summer holidays was for her the most cherished time.

At six-thirty, Li Zhiyan parted ways with Fang Zhiya.

Today, at last, he had comforted all the aunties, and next, he had to get on with the real mission.

Returning to Left Bank Garden and after parking the car in the underground garage, Li Zhiyan headed to Han Xueying's home.

"Aunt Han."

Han Xueying let Li Zhiyan in after opening the door, her mind still preoccupied with Yin Fengxiang.

"Xiao Yan, what should Auntie do now..."

Thinking about getting her son to come back, her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable nervousness.

"Now, call him and ask him to come back for dinner. When he returns, I'll lie down in your bedroom, and you observe. I will protect you secretly, but in my heart, I suspect he's still that bastard, and he might have come back just because he got some benefit."

"But I think you should give him a chance."

Han Xueying nodded gently, still hoping her son could turn over a new leaf and be a good person.

Going into the kitchen to cook, Han Xueying dialed Yin Fengxiang's number.
