CHAPTER 427: 152 AUNT RETALIATES AGAINST AUNT RONG; CATHERINE SEEKS LI ZHIYAN!

"Yes, Zaizai just arrived not long ago."

"I was also woken up by Zaizai."

Saying this, Lai Feifei let out a yawn.

This made He Yanrong feel a bit relieved. Zaizai wasn’t someone so casual; there was absolutely no way he’d do anything inappropriate with Lai Feifei.

"It’s fine, I’ll wait for you a bit longer."

"Okay, I’ll rush."

After hanging up the phone, Lai Feifei and Li Zhiyan each got busy tidying up. Li Zhiyan’s mind was filled with Aunt’s tenderness.

However, now that the Shanghai Three Aunts were competing and jealous of one another, tensions were rising, and Li Zhiyan felt a huge amount of pressure amid it all.

It seemed inevitable that a storm was brewing ahead.

"Zaizai, put the trash in Aunt’s bag."

"Isn’t it bad to put it in the bag?"

"It’s fine, Aunt will find a chance to throw it away this afternoon."

"By the way, activate that tri-fold device."

Lai Feifei urged, and Li Zhiyan also noticed that his electronic gadgets had truly been upgraded.

The computer Aunt Zhao had replaced for him was now high-end, and Zaizai Aunt had gifted him a trendy tri-fold smartphone.

"I understand, Aunt. Let’s tidy up first."

Before long, Lai Feifei opened the door to let He Yanrong in. As she entered, she saw Li Zhiyan playing with the tri-fold device.

"Baby."

"Aunt Baby."

As Li Zhiyan watched He Yanrong’s alluring face, he felt twenty-five percent fondness in his heart. Sadly, his goals felt unattainable.

And Aunt Rong seemed to have made up her mind to distance herself from him.

"Baby, when did you arrive?"

"Just now. Since I’ve been spending time with Zaizai Aunt, I still need to keep up with dates and such. I was worried Zaizai Aunt wouldn’t wake up, so I came a bit late."

"Is this the phone your Aunt Lai gave you?"

"Yes."

He Yanrong felt a pang of envy. Among the Shanghai Three Aunts, the one with the most substantial financial resources was undoubtedly Lai Feifei.

She could casually give gifts to Li Zhiyan, buying him things he liked.

"It’s quite nice. Baby, Aunt will go see your Aunt Lai first."

"Alright."

Li Zhiyan didn’t cling to her insistently for affection, which made He Yanrong feel a sense of relief.

Meanwhile, in his heart, Li Zhiyan’s thoughts drifted back to the Chairman’s Wife and her seductive, captivating face.

Clearly, her looks resembled a fox spirit, yet due to her regal aura, there wasn’t the slightest hint of vulgarity.

"Why am I thinking about the Chairman’s Wife again?"

At the same time, the Chairman’s Wife’s silky stockings-clad legs emerged in Li Zhiyan’s mind. Aside from describing her as "regal," he couldn’t find better words to describe the allure of such a billion-dollar socialite.

He understood that those unparalleled stocking-clad legs were not something that belonged in his social class.

...

When He Yanrong went upstairs, she saw Lai Feifei seated by the dressing mirror, touching up her makeup. She couldn’t help but say, "You crazy woman, still drinking."

"Now that you’re spending time with Baby, can’t you drink less?"

"I like it; Zaizai loves seeing me drunk."

"Your face is so red."

Though cold water had already been splashed on her face, dissipating the heat was not so easy. At this moment, Lai Feifei’s delicate face looked particularly beautiful.

This stirred a sensitive wave of suspicion in He Yanrong’s heart. She glanced into the trash can, which hadn’t been tidied up, and it seemed her fears were unwarranted.

"I’ve always been like this when I drink. Besides, I wanted to go out on a date with Zaizai this afternoon. Can’t I be happy about it?"

"You crazy woman, as long as I’m around, don’t even think about doing anything with Baby."

Although she understood that Li Zhiyan was bound to end up with either Shen Hongmei or Lai Feifei, her heart still desperately wished Li Zhiyan wouldn’t get involved with Lai Feifei.

Jealousy was instinctive and would never change.

"Fine, you silly woman."

Lai Feifei said dismissively, anyway, she wouldn’t be like these two naive women who gave up everything when watched, while benefitting Li Zhiyan instead. She’d find her opportunity in secret.

And Lai Feifei was confident—when the week ended, Li Zhiyan would choose her.

"You crazy woman. I’m going to cook."

Cursing as she went downstairs, He Yanrong left.

...

Downstairs, as Li Zhiyan’s eyes fell on Aunt Rong’s cheongsam paired with black silk stockings and heels, his heart burned twenty-five degrees hotter.

"Aunt Rong, I miss you so much."

"Xiao Yan, say something like that again, and Aunt really will get angry."

At this moment, He Yanrong had resolved to draw a clear boundary with Xiao Yan no matter what.

"Aunt, don’t you like me anymore? After all, I’m still your junior."

Li Zhiyan vividly remembered the time when his relationship with the Shanghai Three Aunts wasn’t as tangled as now. Back then, all three showed him the kind of love a mother gives her child.

Thinking about it still warmed his heart immensely.

Listening to Li Zhiyan’s somewhat dejected voice, He Yanrong felt an uncontrollable surge of sorrow within.

Her heart was so deeply drawn to Xiao Yan,

"What Aunt means is... you shouldn’t kiss Aunt anymore or cross any boundaries."

"I understand, Aunt. Then I’ll head upstairs."

"Don’t. Stay here and help Aunt out a bit."

He Yanrong tied on an apron and went to the kitchen to cook, her heart feeling extremely conflicted.

Li Zhiyan agreeing not to cross boundaries should have made her happy, yet why did it feel so disappointing?
