Jiang Xian gazed at the young man before her, her heart brimming with gratitude.
"Okay, Auntie Jiang, your clothing store is officially open!"
"From now on, you can say goodbye to your old life for good."
As soon as these words were uttered, two girls walked in, finding themselves quite fond of the clothing styles in the store.
"Miss, can I try on this dress?"
"Sure."
Initially, Jiang Xian felt a bit constrained and unaccustomed, but as several girls came in and purchased clothes, she gradually became comfortable with the role of store owner.
After the customers left, Li Zhiyan asked, "Auntie Jiang, doesn't keeping busy feel much more fulfilling than when you were a full-time housewife?"
"Hmm... Xiao Yan, I really can't thank you enough..."
"Sit here; I'll go make you something to eat."
The small kitchen behind was modest yet fully equipped to make dining and daily life completely manageable.
"Okay." .net
Sitting there, Li Zhiyan sent Fang Zhiya a message.
"Aunt Fang, are you getting off work soon?"
Fang Zhiya: "Still have an hour left. Are you coming home today?"
Li Zhiyan: "Yes, I miss you."
Li Zhiyan: "I ate out today."
Fang Zhiya: "Okay, baby, Auntie misses you too."
Li Zhiyan was well aware that it wasn't easy for Aunt Fang to express her feelings in such a manner. Aunt Fang must have genuinely cherished him to speak such words.
Thinking of the canteen scene he had seen that day, Li Zhiyan eagerly looked forward to going home to savor the delicious food.
In the dorm group chat, Ziang Zexi and others started asking if Li Zhiyan was returning to the dormitory that evening.
Just as she began to cook, Li Zhiyan embraced her from behind. Aunt Fang wore something quite cool.
He once said she could wear fewer clothes at home, and Aunt Fang now listened to him.
On such a hot day, indeed, cooler was better.
"Aunt Fang..."
"Xiao Yan..."
Fang Zhiya's body went slack.
"Could we have some dinner first? I just don't have the strength to deal with you right now."
Li Zhiyan felt sorry for Fang Zhiya but held her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Aunt Fang, let's not bother tonight, okay?"
Fang Zhiya was surprised that Li Zhiyan would make such a request. Hadn't they agreed it was just a one-time thing?
"Baby... I'm still a bit afraid."
Li Zhiyan kissed Fang Zhiya's cheek and whispered in her ear.
"Aunt Fang, you have that particular constitution. So there really isn't anything to worry about. I really want to... please."
Fang Zhiya was going to refuse but melted at Li Zhiyan's plea.
"Okay..."
"Alright... But, baby, let's call each other less of our playful nicknames. Auntie finds it so embarrassing."
Remembering some things made Fang Zhiya feel nearly faint.
Li Zhiyan then firmly wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love it that way."
"Baby..."
Gently leaning in, Li Zhiyan captured Fang Zhiya's cherry-red lips with a kiss.
"Mmm... baby..."
