"Okay, Aunt Zhao."
As they ate, Li Zhiyan asked, "Aunt Zhao, when will you sleep with me?"
"I always feel restless sleeping alone."
"Xiao Yan, you're getting older. You can't keep having ideas like this."
"Aunt can't sleep with you anymore."
"Right now, Aunt is busy trying to find you a new partner. If you meet someone you like..."
"You won't have to feel so miserable at night anymore."
"Alright."
Knowing that something was going to happen tonight, Li Zhiyan showed no sign of urgency. This carefree attitude left Zhao Shumin feeling somewhat incredulous.
How did this child suddenly become so obedient?
A feeling of loss swept over her, stirring up more inner conflict.
During the day, Li Zhiyan's routine was the same as usual.
Checking in at work, enduring workplace bullying from Catherine, collecting bonuses by sheer luck, slacking off, practicing driving in the afternoon, chatting with He Yanrong—his days could only be described as quite leisurely.
