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

He had a lot of things to attend to, so he wasn't in a hurry over such a minor issue. Besides, with the system in place, any crisis would prompt an alert.

Of course, the most important thing for now was to increase his savings to over three million yuan, so he could make ten million a year, even though that amounted to less than a million a month.

But it was more or less the same.

Adding the income from the milk tea shop and internet cafe, he was literally making money lying down.

At noon, Li Zhiyan didn't go out to eat with his noisy dorm mates.

Instead, he went straight to Su Mengchen because he was taking her out to lunch, so she was waiting for him at the school gate.

The moment he saw Su Mengchen,

Li Zhiyan felt a healing sensation in his heart. In his previous life, she had truly been his haven,

giving Li Zhiyan profound warmth.

"Chenchen, let's go."

Gazing at Su Mengchen's fair, flawless legs underneath her short skirt, Li Zhiyan found his eyes hard to tear away.

He wondered when he would finally break down all of Chenchen's defenses, but he was certain

that the process would definitely be much faster than in his previous life.

"Okay..."

Li Zhiyan was very considerate of Su Mengchen, and the two walked very slowly.

After getting in the taxi, Li Zhiyan remembered Shen Rongfei's suggestion to drive her car.

He really liked Shen Rongfei's Mercedes-Benz S and wanted to drive it properly.

However, wanting to drive now was still impractical.

Once his internet company opened, he would buy a car to use when convenient.

Because they were in the presence of the taxi driver, Su Mengchen spoke very little, which Li Zhiyan had anticipated.

Su Mengchen had always been like this.

After getting out of the car, Li Zhiyan took Su Mengchen's hand, and even though she felt shy about it,

she allowed him to lead her by the hand towards the private dining restaurant.

Once seated and after ordering dishes in the private room, Su Mengchen adjusted her skirt.

After a moment of thought, she spoke to Li Zhiyan, "Lately, Yin Qiang has been sending things to my roommates and our female classmates."

"And some girls have started to speak well of Yin Qiang in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyan had an idea of what was happening. Yin Qiang's heart was still set on Su Mengchen.

But clearly, Yin Qiang didn't stand a chance anymore.

"Just ignore him."

"Call me anytime if something comes up."

"Chenchen, remember, if anything ever happens, you need to tell me, okay?"

The system had explicitly informed Li Zhiyan that it would alert him to any safety crises of this sort.

So he wasn't too worried about Yin Xueyang...

"Mhm, I know. I'm aware that Yin Qiang isn't a good person."

"I'll definitely tell you if anything happens."

Sensing the changes in Su Mengchen, Li Zhiyan gently took her hand.

Seeing that no one was around, he softly asked, "Chenchen, how are your thoughts on that matter I mentioned?"

Su Mengchen looked down, feeling very shy compared to Li Zhiyan's experienced mature aunts.

Su Mengchen's shyness came genuinely from within.

"Give me some more time... I promise I'll agree."

That promise melted Li Zhiyan's heart; Chenchen, in both his past and present life, truly loved him deeply, treasuring him as her life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Alright, take your time, no worries."

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan hugged Su Mengchen closer, feeling her hot cheek flush with warmth, he hugged her a bit more firmly.

Being embraced in such a way, Su Mengchen resisted instinctively at first but then wrapped her arms around Li Zhiyan in return.

It wasn't until the waiter started serving the dishes that she reluctantly left Li Zhiyan's embrace, blushing deeply.

...

In the clothing store, Jiang Xian slowly woke up.

The events of the previous day quickly flooded her mind. The supplies stored in Li Zhiyan's home were indeed plentiful.

It was about five or six times more than the average person.

Li Zhiyan's storage must have been filled to the brim with supplies.

During the busy farming seasons, Li Zhiyan must have really worked hard in the fields to have this much supply.

"Xiao Yan..."

Jiang Xian murmured softly, feeling an unbounded sense of happiness and contentment within.

Truly, she had never had such a fulfilling life before.

...

After sending Su Mengchen back to her dorm after lunch, Li Zhiyan went to the university supermarket to visit Wang Shangyan.

The surprise and delight in Wang Shangyan's eyes were evident when she saw Li Zhiyan, but she didn't embrace him as she used to.

After Yu Sisi's public confession, she felt something wasn't quite right.

Was it too much for her, a 40-year-old, to kiss Li Zhiyan when

girls like the 18-year-old Yu Sisi, who was also very beautiful, were more appropriate...

He should go for girls his age.

It was only after Yu Sisi's confession that she realized the vast age gap between her and Li Zhiyan, and it was too much.

"Auntie Wang."

Li Zhiyan stepped forward, hugged Wang Shangyan tightly, as close as ever.

But he distinctly felt Wang Shangyan's attitude had changed.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, come to the back room with Auntie to rest for a bit; it's hot outside."
