CHAPTER 449: MORNING IN AUNT’S BEDROOM ✩✩✩✩✩ UNENDING BATTLES OF CATHERINE EVELYN_2

"Zaizai, hurry up and pack!"

The two of them quickly started tidying up. Lai Feifei even went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Her makeup wasn’t waterproof, so rinsing her face lightly was enough to remove most of it.

"Zaizai, in a moment, you hide in the guest room. Once I stall that skank, you can leave."

"Aunt, why does this feel like I’m a thief or something?"

"Zaizai, if your Aunt Rong finds out you’re here right now, the next four days that I wanted to spend cuddling you in the mornings might not be so convenient."

"Got it, Aunt."

"Hurry up and hide."

"Oh wait!"

"Little Zaizai, here’s your ’Wang Zaizai.’"

After stuffing two bottles of Wang Zaizai into Li Zhiyan’s bag, Lai Feifei pushed him into the guest room.

Once inside, Li Zhiyan glanced around at the guest room, which was packed with cans of Wang Zaizai products stacked everywhere.

He thought of Aunt’s doting look whenever she handed him bottles of Wang Zaizai, and he felt a strong urge to give her a big hug.

Still, he reminded himself to stay cautious for now and not get caught by Aunt Rong.

...

After Lai Feifei picked up He Yanrong, the latter remarked with some suspicion, "You washed your face?"

"Yeah, or else I might’ve fallen asleep on my way here."

"You drunkard..."

He Yanrong knew she had made things hard on Lai Feifei earlier that morning, knowing full well this drunkard struggled to function properly in the mornings.

"What were you up to?"

"Obviously buying food to make us lunch."

He Yanrong felt a pang of guilt, worried Feifei might have caught on to what she’d secretly been up to.

If Feifei discovered she’d sneaked back home last night, she might also suspect the morning escapades she’d been indulging in with her baby.

Her airtight defenses couldn’t afford a single slip-up.

"Forget cooking, just come back to the room and nap with me."

Dragging He Yanrong into the living room, Lai Feifei set down the groceries in her hands.

At that moment, Feifei felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Thankfully, she’d gotten Zaizai a leave of absence this morning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the chance to savor their little rendezvous.

Why did this skank have to come back so early? I was planning to bask a bit longer in my time with Zaizai.

"You crazy woman, you even need me to nap with you."

"I can’t feel safe without you by my side. Come on, come on."

After pulling He Yanrong into the master bedroom and shutting the door behind them, the sound of the door closing allowed Li Zhiyan to finally creep outside.

Once he escaped from Aunt’s home, he exhaled a breath of relief. This really felt like being a thief.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan stopped by the lottery store to collect his modest prize money.

His savings had now reached 960,000, putting him within arm’s reach of being a millionaire. Afterward, he headed to the internet café to slack off.

A little after 10 a.m., Li Zhiyan received a new friend request on WeChat. Shortly after, his phone started ringing.

"Hello."

"Li Zhiyan."

"President Jiang?"

Evelyn calling him took him by surprise, but he was well aware this woman was up to no good.

Still, Li Zhiyan pretended not to know anything.

"It’s me. Why did you take leave this morning? Are you feeling unwell? Will you be able to make it in this afternoon?"

"Want me to come check on you?"

This sultry mixed-race cougar’s concern nearly moved Li Zhiyan. Her words just sounded so warm.

"I’m fine, just had something to take care of this morning."

"Alright, then come to the office in the afternoon. I’ve prepared your favorite Wang Zaizai milk. Later, I’ll have your uncle take you to meet some clients so you can get familiar with external affairs."

"From now on, your team leader’s workload will be yours."

"Understood."

"Oh, and I sent you a friend request—accept it, okay?"

"Got it."

After hanging up, Li Zhiyan accepted the WeChat request from the gorgeous cougar.

Soon after, Catherine called as well.

"Li Zhiyan, why didn’t you clock in this morning?"

In her office, Catherine leaned back in her chair, propping her black-stocking-clad legs on the desk. Without Li Zhiyan’s massage earlier, something felt distinctly missing.

Unknowingly, Catherine had grown addicted to the feeling of him caressing her legs during their sessions.

Even their stolen kisses soothed the pent-up loneliness and unease deep inside her.

"Had some errands this morning, President."

"Mmm, thanks again for yesterday. I’ve been in such a good mood lately."

"Li Zhiyan, let me warn you."

"Be cautious of Evelyn and Yin Deli. They’re trying to sabotage you, while I genuinely want the best for you."

"Oh, and I sent you a friend request too. Accept it."

"Understood, President."

After hanging up, he noticed Catherine’s friend request in addition to Evelyn’s. He couldn’t help but feel baffled.

What kind of day was this? Both the exotic beauty and the mixed-race queen wanted to add him on WeChat at the same time?

Still, both women clearly had ulterior motives.

As noon approached, Li Zhiyan wrapped up his time wasting at the internet café and decided to look for a place to eat nearby.

On the way, he spotted a woman wrapped up tightly from head to toe, scavenging bottles and cardboard on the street.

With her chest unbound by a breast band, her E-cup figure was strikingly obvious.

"Aunt Ting!"

Li Zhiyan was stunned to run into Aunt Ting here.
