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

The remaining colleagues spent the next while drinking and chatting.

It wasn't until after ten that the drinking party finally broke up.

Having left the food stall, Li Zhiyan had successfully completed his mission, and his savings had successfully reached 1.2 million.

Not long after leaving the food stall, Wu Qingxian took Li Zhiyan's hand. The world was cold, but with Li Zhiyan, Wu Qingxian felt a trace of warmth.

He was better to her than her own son ever was.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for showing up today. Auntie was in a really bad mood, and if it weren't for you, I might have been upset for a long time."

Although she hadn't drunk too much, she had indeed consumed some alcohol, and now a seductive flush was gradually spreading across Wu Qingxian's pretty face.

"Wu Auntie, I think that Bao Xunwen is not a good person. Don't drink with him again in the future."

Walking with his mother's friend's smooth hand in his, Li Zhiyan was in a quite good mood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Auntie knows, he hinted at it, always telling Auntie about his upcoming promotion, but I didn't pay him much attention. I only came out today because it was a departmental gathering."

Because she wanted to consider her son's feelings, Wu Qingxian had never thought about remarrying, even now when her son had disappointed her.

She was accustomed to the single life.

And no man had caught her eye.

"That's good, Wu Auntie. If you're ever feeling down, you can call me anytime. No matter where I am, I'll come to keep you company."

Li Zhiyan's affectionate words deeply moved Wu Qingxian.

Just as she was about to hug Li Zhiyan, she suddenly said, "Xiao Yan, wait for me a moment."

Because the suburbs of Wancheng were quite desolate.

Wu Qingxian went to a nearby tree, took a wet wipe from her bag, and squatted down.

In such a quiet environment, Li Zhiyan could clearly hear the sound of running water. Beer didn't get people drunk, but it certainly made it difficult to hold it in.

After a while, Wu Qingxian returned to Li Zhiyan's side, took his hand, and they continued to walk forward.

"Xiao Yan, sometimes Auntie wishes you were my son. Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in this world."

"You really are so good, Auntie kiss-kiss."

Seeing Wu Qingxian wanting to kiss him, Li Zhiyan lowered his head and moved his face closer.

"Good boy."

After kissing Li Zhiyan's face several times and leaving red lipstick prints on both of his cheeks, Wu Qingxian finally felt content.

Smelling the fragrance of Wu Auntie's lips, Li Zhiyan seized the opportunity.

He gently kissed Wu Qingxian's lips but dared not to do anything more excessive.

In that instant, Wu Qingxian's mind went blank. What was Xiao Yan doing?

It seemed like he was kissing her lips. How could she and he kiss on the lips?

That was not proper.

"Xiao Yan..."

Li Zhiyan still possessed some rationality and awe towards Wu Qingxian, but as soon as Wu Qingxian opened her mouth, he couldn't hold back anymore.

After all, he was an 18-year-old young man full of vigor.

Sometimes he just couldn't control his behavior, like now.

Unable to help himself, Li Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Wu Qingxian, who was clad in a cheongsam, and deepened the kiss.

At that moment, Wu Qingxian's mind went completely blank again.

Li Zhiyan had actually kissed her. He was the child she had watched grow up.

She was his mother's friend, and now...

After instinctively responding to Li Zhiyan, Wu Qingxian, somewhat panicked, pushed him away.

"Xiao Yan!"

"That was too much!"

Hearing Wu Qingxian's somewhat angry voice, Li Zhiyan felt an uncontrollable bout of fear. Wu Qingxian was really different from other women. In his heart, Wu Auntie was like his own mother, a figure of respect.

She was his mother's best friend, who had watched him grow up bit by bit, who cherished him so deeply. If she was angry, he truly feared losing her.

"I'm sorry, Wu Auntie. I've never been close to a woman, and after I accidentally touched your lips, I couldn't help myself..."

Listening to Li Zhiyan's words, Wu Qingxian's heart softened again.

She stepped forward and gently hugged Li Zhiyan, then tiptoed to kiss him on the face.

"All right, Xiao Yan, Auntie was a bit harsh on you. Don't take it to heart."

She took Li Zhiyan by the hand and continued walking forward.

Wu Qingxian spoke in a low voice, "Xiao Yan, don't be mad at Auntie."

"Auntie is your elder. In Auntie's heart, you'll always be the little child in split pants."

"What just happened, we cannot do that, think about how your mother would feel if she found out."

"After all, Auntie is your mother's friend."

"Don't kiss Auntie's mouth again, understand?"

Li Zhiyan obediently replied, "I understand, Wu Auntie. Just don't ignore me from now on. I can't be without you."

Wu Qingxian's eyes welled up with tears, stopped walking, and pulled Li Zhiyan into an embrace.

"Good boy, Auntie can't be without you either. Auntie loves you."

"But from now on, remember to keep a proper distance from Auntie, okay? After all, you have grown up."

Saying this, Wu Qingxian gave Li Zhiyan a kiss, the kind one would expect from an elder.
