126 Mom's best friend's advice, you can't do that to an elder!

"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.
