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

Those flawless, snowy legs were making Li Zhiyan struggle to look away.

Once the time was right, he would have to properly kiss those beautiful legs that belonged to him.

"Chenchen, the light makeup you applied today looks really pretty."

"And you're dressed nicely too."

Even though the compliments were very straightforward, Li Zhiyan was very clear.

Su Mengchen needed such praise to regain her sense of confidence.

"Hmm..."

Su Mengchen responded softly, still shy, but clearly in a much better state than before.

After the car drove to the train station,

Aunt Shen dropped the two off by a paid parking lot and then went to park the car.

She was very grateful to Li Zhiyan in her heart, as he had been praising her daughter all the way there.

If he did not truly like her, based on his current status, he wouldn't need to be so attentive towards her daughter.

After all, he was so handsome, plenty of girls would throw themselves at him if he wanted.

...

"Chenchen, hold on to my arm tightly in a bit."

"Don't get lost, the train station is chaotic with all sorts of people, and swindlers are everywhere."

"So be very careful."

Li Zhiyan's words startled Su Mengchen; she had always been well-protected by Aunt Shen, and now she instinctively grabbed Li Zhiyan's arm, seeking a sense of safety.

The silky contact sent ripples through Li Zhiyan's heart, but fortunately, his self-control had improved a lot by now.

Unlike the time when he had first been reborn and couldn't control himself at all.

"Mm..."

"I got it."

Aunt Shen, who came over with a backpack after parking the car, was surprised to see her daughter now holding Li Zhiyan's hand.

This was indeed a significant progress.

"Chenchen, Xiao Yan, let's go."

As they walked, Aunt Shen felt very pleased, walking with the two children gave her the sense of a family of three.

And because Li Zhiyan always called her mom, Aunt Shen subconsciously started to think of Li Zhiyan as her own son.

The train station was incredibly crowded; Su Mengchen kept holding tightly to Li Zhiyan's arm, worried someone might drag her away.

After they checked their tickets and entered, there were hardly any seats left in the station.

They found a corner to stand in.

Looking at his mother-in-law, clad in black tights, high heels, and a red skirt,

Li Zhiyan said with concern, "Mom, if your feet hurt, I can give them a rub after we get to Sucity."

Li Zhiyan was exceedingly filial to Aunt Shen; he treated her with the same respect as he would his real mother.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, I'll trouble you then."

Aunt Shen didn't pretend to be strong; no matter how experienced one is, wearing high heels is tiring...

And Li Zhiyan's skills in traditional Chinese medicine were indeed very remarkable; his hands seemed to possess a unique magic.

Before long, it was time to board. The three of them got on the train, and Su Mengchen felt a little uneasy.

Surrounded by so many people, as it was her first time leaving the province, she seemed out of her element.

"Mom, Chenchen, you two sit inside, I'll sit on the outside."

"The trains are just too crowded these days."

Aunt Shen felt a warmth and touched in her heart; this child was really good at taking care of others.

"Okay."

Su Mengchen took the innermost seat, while Aunt Shen sat in the middle.

As Li Zhiyan sat down next to Aunt Shen, he felt very much at ease.

In his previous life, after his mother passed away, the person who had been the kindest to him was undoubtedly Aunt Shen.

In this life, he had to protect this elder and ensure she suffered no harm.

When their eyes met, Aunt Shen was momentarily dazed.

From Li Zhiyan's gaze, Aunt Shen sensed a complex emotion.

It was like he was looking at a long-lost relative.

Did he think of her as family in his heart?

Thinking about how Li Zhiyan always called her mom, Aunt Shen's heart inexplicably felt a bit sour.

Although she didn't know why...

Aunt Shen always had this feeling that he truly cared about her.

Had she and he gone through something together?

Yet Aunt Shen couldn't remember anything.

In her bemusement, Aunt Shen found it all quite headache-inducing.

But... if she couldn't figure it out, she might as well not think about it.

Having such a person appear in her daughter's life was, after all, a stroke of fortune.

... Your next chapter awaits on empire

Once the train arrived in Sucity,

Li Zhiyan saw the sea of people at the train station and also found it to be quite a headache.

Traveling during the holidays really wasn't a smart decision.

One imagines traveling involves leisurely strolls and enjoyment to the fullest, but the reality is spending eight out of ten hours queuing for public restrooms.

"Let's find a hotel to check in first, and then go out to play after lunch,"

said Li Zhiyan, attentively listening to Aunt Shen's words and looking at the task's due time, he was also making plans to complete the task.

He had to secure that hundred thousand yuan.

And he needed to protect his mother-in-law and not keep Su Yu's infidelity a secret forever.

At the very least, he should prepare Aunt Shen mentally, so she wouldn't be so tragically deceived in the future.

After arriving at a slightly upscale hotel by taxi,
