"Wu Auntie, don't joke with me."
Li Zhiyan said somewhat helplessly after sitting down at the prompting of Wu Qingxian.
"I'm not joking, Xiao Yan, I really am your biological mother. I carried you, how could I not know."
"When you were younger, I couldn't afford to raise you, so I sent you to live with your mom."
Wu Qingxian continued to tease Li Zhiyan, her mood clearly lightened by the interaction.
Seeing Li Zhiyan always made Wu Qingxian very happy.
Laughter erupted around the dining table.
Everyone enjoyed this playful, child-enticing moment.
Clearly, everyone treated Li Zhiyan like an ignorant child, albeit an exceptionally handsome one.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you."
"This is Li Zhiyan, the son of my best friend."
"Let him eat here, I'll pay for an extra portion."
After Li Zhiyan sat down, perhaps due to Wu Qingxian's particularly bad mood, she held onto his hand and didn't let go.
Across from them, Bao Xunwen felt a pang of envy.
This lucky kid was showered with Wu Qingxian's affection on first meeting, a kiss on the cheek no less, which would surely make him ecstatic if it were him.
And then there was the feeling of her fair, soft hands gripping his own.
Such a pity, he's just a kid, unaware of the joys of such tender warmth and fragrance.
Such a waste...
Li Zhiyan glanced at Bao Xunwen sitting opposite him, immediately recognizing the man as someone with a weak constitution, probably reliant on little pills on a regular basis.
And here he was, trying to get Wu Auntie drunk.
"What's your name?"
"Auntie, I'm Li Zhiyan."
"Li Zhiyan, have you had a girlfriend yet? You're so nice to your Wu Auntie, we're all jealous."
The other women all nodded in agreement.
Wu Qingxian laughed and said, "Xiao Yan hasn't had a girlfriend yet."
"So, he's a virgin then!"
The women burst into laughter. Middle-aged women are often quite open, and Li Zhiyan was aware that these women fell into the category of being quite liberated.
"Of course, don't keep teasing Xiao Yan; he'll get shy."
In Wu Qingxian's heart, Li Zhiyan would always be a little boy, for she had watched him grow up from a tiny child to the man he was today.
"Haha, come on, let's drink."
"Before you joined our company, we used to drink our fill during gatherings."
Wu Qingxian's tolerance for alcohol was always decent, at least beer was nothing to her. Eating the shrimp that Li Zhiyan had peeled for her, she felt an urge to hug him.
Lately, she'd been feeling sad because of Zhang Honglei, but luckily Li Zhiyan was there for her, always around when she was heartbroken.
But with so many people around, Wu Qingxian felt a bit shy about hugging Li Zhiyan outright.
After a while, Bao Xunwen saw his opportunity approaching.
He unscrewed the lid of a bottle of baijiu.
"Let's all have some baijiu tonight, it's more exciting than just beer."
Bao Xunwen said with a purpose.
"Wow, Old Bao, you dare to drink baijiu? Your wife just had your second child and is still nursing. Aren't you afraid she won't let you into bed when you get home?"
Laughing, Bao Xunwen replied, "No problem, my sister-in-law and I have been sleeping in separate rooms since she got pregnant, me in the study."
