Chapter 37: Chapter 38: Shen Xu’s Invitation
After getting home, Aunt Rong changed into a form-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her figure.
And as she stood there so charmingly before Li Yang, she put her best assets on full display.
Li Yang shot to his feet and pounced on Aunt Rong.
"You little brat..." Aunt Rong’s beautiful face paled. She hadn’t expected Li Yang to actually dare to make a move.
Li Yang’s body was radiating masculine hormones. As he lunged at her, she was momentarily flustered and didn’t know how to refuse. In fact, she seemed to be putting up a token resistance while secretly welcoming it.
Seeing her reaction, Li Yang’s hands began to roam, slipping inside her clothes.
Aunt Rong bit her lip. ’It’s not like I’m the one losing out here,’ she thought. ’They call this robbing the cradle, but I’m the one getting the better end of the deal.’
So she simply closed her eyes. "You... hurry up!"
Li Yang grew excited at her words. Just as he was about to make his next move, he heard a car pull up outside.
Su Yunmeng was back!
’Damn it!’
Li Yang had no choice but to stop, his face a mask of frustration.
’Why is this happening to me?!’
Aunt Rong shoved him away. A flicker of disappointment showed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a mischievous look. "Heh, you missed your chance. This offer won’t come again. I consider my promise fulfilled."
Li Yang was so mad he could spit blood.
But with things as they were, he could only straighten his clothes and walk out.
"Off work already?" Li Yang asked as Su Yunmeng hurried in.
From the kitchen, Aunt Rong let out a PFFT of laughter.
"Since everyone was home, I thought I’d come back and help Aunt Rong," Su Yunmeng said with a smile.
Li Yang looked utterly dejected. ’Aunt Rong doesn’t need your help, I was doing just fine helping her!’
With Su Yunmeng’s help, things went much faster.
The three of them enjoyed a pleasant dinner together. After chatting for a while, Li Yang drove off.
He made sure to shoot one last look at Aunt Rong before he left.
Aunt Rong stood there, giggling, and even gave him a provocative lift of her chin.
Extremely reluctant, Li Yang left all the same.
By the time he got back to the village, it was already past nine o’clock.
Li Yang took the formula to Xia Lian’s house.
Xia Lian had just finished tidying up, and her child had just been put to sleep.
She was stunned to see Li Yang walk in carrying the cans of formula.
"Aunt Lian, here you go!" Li Yang set down seven cans of formula. "I bought these for you in the city today. Now you can wean Xiaomu. You can’t keep going like this; he’s going to suck you dry."
Xia Lian blushed. "Xiaoyang, what are you saying?"
Li Yang gave a hollow laugh.
"How much did this cost? I’ll pay you..." Xia Lian said.
"Don’t worry about it! Just put it on a tab," Li Yang said, shaking his head. "The mushroom shed is already under construction. Once it’s finished, you can start working, and we’ll deduct it from your wages. Oh, right, this formula is a hundred yuan a can. The shop owner gave me a discount—the wholesale price. If you need more in the future, just go to her. She’ll give you the same price."
’So cheap!’
Xia Lian knew this brand. The cheapest she could find it for in town was around three hundred yuan.
But Li Yang had managed to get it for just one hundred a can.
"Xiaoyang, how can I ever repay you..." she said, her voice filled with gratitude.
"Aunt Lian, don’t be a stranger. Anyway, I’m heading back now. See you later." Li Yang shook his head and quickly left.
Xia Lian watched Li Yang’s retreating figure, a dazed expression on her face.
’If only I weren’t your ’aunt’... otherwise...’
At that thought, her pretty face suddenly flushed red.
Back home, exhausted from his busy day, Li Yang took a shower and went straight to bed.
’So tired!’
He woke up early the next day to find that Zhou Liyun had already picked the vegetables and left them for him.
Construction on the mushroom shed had also begun.
After breakfast, Li Yang drove off to deliver the vegetables to the city.
He dropped the vegetables off in the kitchen. There was nothing more to it; he just had to let Han Qiuyue know.
But before he could leave the hotel, his phone rang.
"Uh, is this Li Yang?" a vaguely familiar voice asked from the other end.
For a moment, Li Yang couldn’t place who it was.
"Who is this?" Li Yang asked, puzzled.
"It’s Shen Xu!" she said, a hint of exasperation in her voice now that she was sure it was him.
’Am I, the prettiest officer on the force, really that unmemorable?’
"Oh, Officer Shen. What can I do for you?" Li Yang asked, finding it a bit strange.
’What could she possibly want from me?’
"Um, do you have a minute? There’s something wrong with my kitten. Could you come over and take a look for me?"
"Ma’am, I’m not a veterinarian!" Li Yang couldn’t help but retort.
"I know, I know..." Shen Xu said, embarrassed. "But I saw how well those dogs listened to you yesterday. I thought maybe you’d know what my cat is thinking."
Li Yang felt his energy draining away.
’Good grief, what do people think I am?’
"All right, all right. Send me your address, and I’ll come take a look."
"Great!"
Li Yang pulled up the address and followed his GPS.
Before long, he arrived at Shen Xu’s apartment complex.
Shen Xu was already waiting for him at the entrance. She led him into her apartment.
"See? It’s this one." Inside, a tabby cat was pacing anxiously on the floor.
Li Yang understood with a single glance.
"You don’t know what she’s doing?" Li Yang asked, exasperated.
"I have no idea!" Shen Xu looked completely baffled.
"Ma’am, the cat’s looking for a boyfriend!" Li Yang said, exasperated. "She’s in heat, get it? She wants to find a male cat to... you know!"
