Chapter 1619: Chapter 540: Aunt Gu, I’ve Liked You for So Long—Will You Be My Girlfriend?
In the evening, Li Zhiyan made a dinner for Rao Shi Yun.
When he left Rao Shi Yun’s home, it was already eight o’clock at night.
"It’s time to find Aunt Gu."
Li Zhiyan thought of Gu Wanzhou’s face, which looked so much like his wife’s, and his mind was filled with memories.
Li Zhiyan knew that after being reincarnated, his soul awakened to mature women because of Gu Wanzhou. In his past life, Li Zhiyan had only liked girls his age.
After seeing Gu Wanzhou upon his return, Li Zhiyan realized just how fiery and attractive mature women are.
Since then, he started to tread an unusual path.
After calling to ask about Gu Wanzhou’s whereabouts, Li Zhiyan headed straight to Yiyan Network.
At this moment, Yiyan Network was brightly lit; it had already become the leading company in Wancheng, with thousands of employees working tirelessly here.
Yiyan Network never required employees to work overtime, but the benefits were so great that the employees voluntarily chose to work extra hours to earn more.
Along the way, everyone respectfully called out "President Li" to Li Zhiyan.
After arriving at the office and opening the door, Li Zhiyan found his eldest daughter, Li Sisi, was also there.
Li Sisi was now very obedient and sensible, truly a good daughter.
Li Zhiyan naturally loved her dearly and devoted a considerable portion of his paternal affection to her.
"Dad, you’re here!"
"Yes, daughter."
After greeting Li Sisi, Li Zhiyan went to Gu Wanzhou and said, "Aunt Gu, there’s not much happening at the company, why are you here working again?"
"It’s fine, Xiao Yan, just doing some light work occasionally; Aunt just comes to the company sometimes."
"Why don’t we go for a walk?"
"Okay."
Gu Wanzhou glanced out the window; those who once posed a threat to Li Zhiyan had become things of the past.
When the car left the underground garage, Gu Wanzhou, in the passenger seat, gazed at the scenery outside, filled with myriad thoughts.
Back in the old district where Li Zhiyan went to school.
Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou saw the teahouse where they had once chatted.
"Xiao Yan, Aunt and you truly have a special fate."
"Aunt never thought she would actually be with you one day."
"In Aunt’s heart, you were always like a child."
"But during our chat at the teahouse, not only did Aunt fail to persuade you, she was also drawn in by you."
When Li Zhiyan and Gu Wanzhou talked about the past, Li Sisi, sitting in the back, widened her beautiful eyes, filled with curiosity.
She thought her mother’s and Li Zhiyan’s story must be very romantic.
"Aunt Gu, I really like you and didn’t want to give up, so I said so much to you."
Outside, the traffic was heavy, and as Li Zhiyan drove steadily, he occasionally glanced at the side of Gu Wanzhou’s face, still feeling his heart throb.
"At that time, Aunt was really dizzy from what you said, but still didn’t think of actually giving you a chance; just hoped to handle it calmly."
"I noticed that too, Aunt Gu, why don’t we go upstairs and sit for a while?"
Gu Wanzhou nodded.
Afterward, Li Zhiyan parked the car at a roadside space.
He led Gu Wanzhou and Li Sisi up to the teahouse.
The current weather made the evenings particularly hot; Li Zhiyan felt as if he had entered a furnace.
The summer vacation was getting closer, and Li Zhiyan’s mind recalled the scorching summer of 2010.
Everything was so fiery and scorching.
Inside the teahouse, after the three of them sat down, Gu Wanzhou still sat in her original position, while Li Zhiyan sat across from her.
Everything was just like when it started, as if nothing had changed.
However, the biggest change was that Gu Wanzhou was now expecting his child.
"Xiao Yan, Aunt still remembers, back then when I was upset and went for a walk in the park."
"I ended up encountering a rascal, but didn’t expect you to come and save me."
"Aunt was really scared at that time."
Li Zhiyan responded with a hum.
"I was just coincidentally passing by then and saw you being harassed by a rascal."
"I stepped in and saved you."
"Thinking back now, I’m glad I passed by that place, otherwise you would have been in real danger."
Li Sisi quietly listened on the side.
She also felt particularly happy inside.
"At that time, Aunt always wanted to recognize you as a godson, but you never agreed. Looking back now, you were really firm."
"Of course, Aunt Gu, in my heart, I always wanted to be with you. If I really became your godson, there would be no hope."
In fact, it wasn’t just Gu Wanzhou who wanted to recognize Li Zhiyan as a godson; other aunts also more or less had similar thoughts.
But on this matter, Li Zhiyan’s attitude had always been very firm, so he didn’t become anyone’s godson.
In his life, he only had three mothers: his foster mother Zhou Rongrong, his biological mother Wu Ningshuang, and his mother-in-law Shen Rongfei, who was also like half a mother to him.
"You child..."
"But Aunt really has a special fate with you; later, when Aunt was harassed by a drunkard, it was you who appeared again."
