Chapter 16: 016 Snow-white beautiful legs, the fragrance of a mature woman

However, I can’t be your godmother.

Li Zhiyan clearly understood the principle that if he accepted a godmother, he would really have no chance with her.

Rao Shi Yun won’t do, nor will Gu Wanzhou.

He still wanted to pull the carriage himself.

Ever since he was reborn, Li Zhiyan’s heart had been itching unbearably.

How could he possibly be willing to take on a godmother? That would be like adding an unnecessary shackle to himself.

A little spice while pulling the carriage, perhaps, but to really recognize someone as kin, Li Zhiyan was definitely unwilling.

“I don’t want to.”

Li Zhiyan decisively rejected the matter.

“What’s wrong, Little Darling, do you think Auntie isn’t good enough?”

“Or do you think Auntie isn’t pretty enough and embarrasses you when out in public?”

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou felt a bit of a headache; she had wanted to accept Li Zhiyan as a godson, so he wouldn’t have to think about all those messy things any longer.

She was already 41 years old, and he was only 18. It was impossible for her to be with him.

Although she was growing more and more appreciative of this young man, appreciation and romantic feelings between a man and a woman are not the same.

Li Zhiyan glanced at Gu Wanzhou’s chest, remembering their hug that one time.

He was well aware of just how substantial Gu Wanzhou was.

“You are indeed very beautiful, but what I want is for you to be my girlfriend.”

“Haven’t you said that you would give serious consideration to this matter?”

“If I really became your godson, that would make us mother and son.”

“And a mother and son can’t be in a romantic relationship.”

Li Zhiyan spoke very seriously, which made Gu Wanzhou a bit emotional—this situation had indeed become troublesome.

To outright reject Li Zhiyan was something she really couldn’t bring herself to do.

He was so knowledgeable and talented, one could only imagine how much effort he put in behind the scenes. A child from a poor, single-parent family, yet so sincere.

Gu Wanzhou truly couldn’t bear to crush him.

Yet his affection for her was something that simply could not be realized.

“Little Darling, actually, it’s not that Auntie doesn’t like you.”

“On the contrary, Auntie likes you very much, which is why I invited you to come over for dinner.”

And so the topic of dating came up again.

Gu Wanzhou felt that she might as well have a proper talk with this child.

“However, this kind of like is the fondness an elder has for a younger person.”

“It’s not romantic affection between a man and a woman.”

“Your liking for the current me is probably just a youthful fantasy.”

“At the age of 18, hormones are surging.”

Following this, Li Zhiyan spoke up: “So right now is the time when my hormones are at their peak, and Auntie is also at the peak of her hormonal surge.”

“Isn’t that a perfect match then?”

Gu Wanzhou’s pretty face blushed again. Indeed, the age of 40 is when a woman’s physiological needs are strongest.

And 18 is when a man’s needs are at their peak.

In a sense, what Li Zhiyan said was quite right.

“Right now, perhaps there wouldn’t be a problem for the two of us to be together.”

“But what about in five years, or ten years? When Auntie starts to get old, would you still like her?”

“Even if we were together, it’s doomed not to end well.”

“When we eventually part, it would cause deep hurt, whether for you or for Auntie.”

“You’re still young, but Auntie is already 41. I can’t be so irresponsible.”

“And besides, I really do see you as a son.”

While cooking, Gu Wanzhou hoped she could persuade Li Zhiyan to stop thinking about being together with her.

If only she could take him as her godson, after chatting with Li Zhiyan before.

Gu Wanzhou’s heart grew even fonder of the child.

“Auntie, actually, the most important thing in life isn’t the result.”

“But the process, because most of our time is spent within it.”

“No matter what the outcome might be, that’s still very far away.”

“What we need to do is enjoy every day as it comes.”

“Constantly thinking so far ahead actually makes life quite tiring.”

“Please give me a chance, let me take care of you.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Gu Wanzhou before him, feeling his hormones expanding continuously.

This superb mature woman was really too beautiful, and she was also Yu Sisi’s mother.

Thinking about it, he was determined to win over Gu Wanzhou.

Suddenly, Gu Wanzhou felt that she couldn’t win a logical argument with this young kid.

It seemed like there was nothing he didn’t understand, and for a moment, Gu Wanzhou also felt a sense of helplessness.

She wanted to reject Li Zhiyan outright.

But she couldn’t bear to hurt this honest child.

“I’m 23 years older than you, I could be your mother.”

“Plus, I’ve been divorced and have a daughter who’s as old as you.”

Without the slightest retreat, Li Zhiyan said, “I’ve known all this for a long time, and besides, 40 is actually a very beautiful age.”

“Those young girls can’t even compare to you in my eyes.”

Hearing Li Zhiyan’s praise, Gu Wanzhou subconsciously felt her heart blossom with joy—this kid was really sweet-talking.

“Whether it’s looks or figure, you have much more charm than those young girls.”

Looking at Gu Wanzhou’s ample chest.

Li Zhiyan wanted to reminisce about his childhood.

Although some young girls were pretty, they were flat-chested, and in Li Zhiyan’s eyes, they all scored zero.

He really didn’t for flat chests.

“You child…”

“Auntie, think about it for a while longer.”

Gu Wanzhou felt that she couldn’t persuade Li Zhiyan.

This kid had a counterargument for every statement she made.

How could she convince him…

It seemed she could only continue to give him the cold shoulder; perhaps once he went to college, he might fall for a younger girl. In that case, he wouldn’t keep insisting on being with her all the time.

Suddenly, Gu Wanzhou remembered her best friend Rao Shi Yun.

That voluptuous woman definitely had a strong liking for Li Zhiyan—she wouldn’t actively invite him to pull the cart, would she?

In her mind, Gu Wanzhou couldn’t help but envision Little Darling Li Zhiyan and the big cart, Rao Shi Yun.

For some reason, Gu Wanzhou felt a sourness in her heart.

“Ah…”

All of a sudden, due to sitting for too long, her neck hurt again, causing Gu Wanzhou to let out a somewhat painful moan.

Li Zhiyan knew that his opportunity to carry out the mission had arrived.

He was very clear that such conditions were hard to cure and medicine didn’t have much in the way of solutions.

But when it hurt, it was truly uncomfortable.

And he had to help massage not just Gu Wanzhou’s neck but also her thighs.

Looking at the flawless white legs of Gu Wanzhou before him and smelling the fragrance of this supreme mature woman at 41.

Li Zhiyan bent down slightly.

Youthful dragons, after all, are hard to control by magicians.

“Aunt Gu, is it your neck that hurts?”

“Yes, it’s an old problem.”

“Actually, I can help you.”

Li Zhiyan said earnestly, his heart growing ever more grateful for the system that allowed an ordinary man like himself the chance to perform miracles in public.
