Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother
Chapter 1168 - 1168: Shen Xinrong doubled the compensation the next day

Here is the translated text:

At this moment, Zhou Rongrong genuinely disliked Shen Xinrong.

This woman was so much older than her son.

And yet, she dared to do something as audacious as kissing him.

It was truly revolting.

Li Zhiyan certainly didn't want to leave now—after all, he hadn't had a proper moment of intimacy with Aunt Shen yet.

But he had never seen his mother this angry before.

Helplessly, after exchanging a glance with Shen Xinrong,

he followed Zhou Rongrong out.

Shen Xinrong's heart was also a whirlwind of feelings.

She really hadn't expected that her relationship with Li Zhiyan would be discovered like this.

At least, Zhou Rongrong didn't seem completely undone by the revelation.

"It looks like I'll need to sit down and have a proper talk with Xiao Yan soon."

"If his mother objects to it..."

She could understand Zhou Rongrong's feelings as a mother.

She couldn't possibly accept something like this, especially given that her own age was so much older than Li Zhiyan's.

...

Throughout the journey, Zhou Rongrong said nothing.

Li Zhiyan had no idea what his mother was thinking.

So he remained silent for the time being.

Not until they returned home did Zhou Rongrong take action.

She grabbed Li Zhiyan's hand and led him into her room.

Mother and son sat down on the sofa.

Li Zhiyan looked like a child who had done something wrong.

No matter the situation, whenever standing before Zhou Rongrong, Li Zhiyan always felt somewhat powerless.

After all, this was the woman who had raised him since the time he was little.

That fact could never change.

"Mom, please don't be angry."

At last, Zhou Rongrong gave Li Zhiyan's ear a slight twist.

Despite being upset,

she couldn't bring herself to use any force—she had never struck Li Zhiyan even once in his life.

Her heart had always been kind toward him.

"How can I not be angry."

"How can you be with a woman this much older than you?"

"There are so many women around you—isn't that enough?"

"You..."

"You're too much."

Zhou Rongrong's heart was filled with helplessness. Her son—

he was just too much of a flirt.

The most frustrating part was that he was such a good person, and incredibly filial, too.

"Mom, I only like Shen Xinrong."

"Shen Xinrong..."

"Shen Xinrong..."

Zhou Rongrong repeated Shen Xinrong's name, her heart burning with resentment.

"Fine, if you want to be with Shen Xinrong,"

"then be with Shen Xinrong."

By now, Zhou Rongrong knew everything had already progressed too far, making it impossible to stop.

If she had discovered their relationship before it had started,

then she might have been able to stop it.

"That's amazing, Mom."

Li Zhiyan grabbed hold of Zhou Rongrong's arm.

But this only filled Zhou Rongrong's heart with a deep sense of helplessness.

After all, this was her son.

"Promise me you'll be extra careful from now on."

"No one can ever find out—not anyone, or any of the other aunts around you."

"Under no circumstances can you let anyone know. Understand?"

Zhou Rongrong instructed Li Zhiyan firmly.

Li Zhiyan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"I understand, Mom. You're still the one who treats me best in this world."

Li Zhiyan said softly.

Zhou Rongrong sighed and patted his head gently.

"Alright, son. Go to bed. It's getting late."

Li Zhiyan murmured in acknowledgment and returned to his room.

As soon as he got inside, he lay down on the sofa.

Li Zhiyan called Shen Xinrong; this matter needed to be properly discussed with her.

He knew that right now Shen Xinrong must be feeling particularly uneasy.

Very quickly, the call connected. Shen Xinrong anxiously asked, "Xiao Yan, how did it go?"

"Your mother didn't scold you, did she?"

Just thinking about Zhou Rongrong's rage-filled expression,

Shen Xinrong couldn't help but feel a tightening sense of unease.

She couldn't stand the thought of causing any conflict between a mother and son.

That would be terrible.

"No, Aunt Shen, don't worry."

"My mom loves me deeply. She said it's okay for me to date Shen Xinrong."

"We'll keep being together secretly, just as we are now."

"That's good to hear..."

Shen Xinrong said softly.

"Alright then, Aunt Shen. I'll see you tomorrow."

After chatting with Shen Xinrong for a while, Li Zhiyan hung up the phone.

"Time to find Ding Baijie."

Li Zhiyan was brimming with energy. After tonight's date was interrupted,

this was all he could think about.

Still, tonight wasn't the right time to go out—his mother really would get mad.

Quietly sneaking out, he knocked on the door but got no response.

Next, he checked the media room, but Ding Baijie wasn't there either.

Finally, he headed to the rooftop.

Sure enough, everything was just as Li Zhiyan had guessed.

Ding Baijie was gazing out at the lake.

"Sis!"

Calling out to her once, Li Zhiyan approached Ding Baijie and gently hugged her from behind.

The soft sensation stirred his heart as he rested his head lightly on Ding Baijie's shoulder.

"Xiao Yan, stand up. Sis can't hold your weight..."

For Ding Baijie, Li Zhiyan was simply too heavy.

Even though his build was perfectly proportioned, women's strength is naturally limited.

Ding Baijie could only handle his weight while lying down.

"Sis."

"I missed you so much."

"Mm..."

"Xiao Yan, I missed you too."

Every word Ding Baijie said was genuine—ever since she secretly got together with Li Zhiyan,

she had truly rediscovered that feeling of falling in love.

Her thoughts constantly revolved around Li Zhiyan.

"Sis."

"I want to kiss you..."

Ding Baijie's mind drifted to the moment when Li Zhiyan had sat on her lap, snacking away.
