Although Liu Jie wanted to stop Su Yan, it was already too late.
All she could do was respond passively.
It took a long while before the two finally broke their kiss.
After they got out of the car, Liu Jie's face was flushed with embarrassment. She chided, "You little rascal! We agreed, only one kiss a week. Why are you kissing me again?"
Su Yan, feigning innocence, replied, "Aunt Liu, I forgot."
"Let's head upstairs," he added casually.
The thought of staying with Su Yan for the night made Liu Jie feel an unexplainable sense of nervousness. "Su Yan... I think I should go home instead," she stammered.
But Su Yan quickly shook his head, refusing to let her leave. After all, he had finally gotten her to his place—there was no way he was letting her go now.
"Aunt Liu, please stay! I even saved a room just for you."
With that, Su Yan wrapped his arms around her, showing no intention of letting go.
At that moment, Liu Jie could clearly feel the warmth and strength from his embrace. This kid… he's more mature than she had thought. It seemed there was no way she could leave tonight.
"Alright, alright, I'll stay for one night. But Auntie is going to work tomorrow!" Liu Jie finally gave in, smiling faintly.
Hearing her agree, Su Yan happily squeezed her tighter. Liu Jie was truly someone special to him.
"Okay, okay, Auntie can't breathe! Let's head upstairs," she urged, half-joking but genuinely concerned that someone might see them. After all, she was 24 years older than Su Yan. If anyone saw them so close together, it would definitely raise eyebrows.
Once they arrived at Su Yan's apartment, Liu Jie sighed in relief. Luckily, no one had seen them being so intimate outside.
"Su Yan," she began, her tone serious, "from now on, don't go hugging me like that in public. People will think it's strange."
Su Yan shrugged casually. "So what? Let them think what they want. At worst, they'll think you're my girlfriend. You're so beautiful, I'm not losing out."
His eyes drifted to her long, flawless legs, and a curious thought popped into his head.
What would Aunt Liu look like in black stockings? She'd probably be stunning.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm 24 years older than you. People will find it very strange if they thought I was your girlfriend," Liu Jie chided lightly. "I'm old enough to be your mother."
After Su Yan opened the door to his apartment, he sneakily embraced Liu Jie from behind, making her feel the heat of his body.
'This kid knows how to subtly tease me', she thought to herself. And yet, Liu Jie couldn't deny that her heart fluttered. She was, after all, a normal woman—mature and experienced. At moments like these, it was even harder for her to resist compared to a younger girl.
"There's nothing strange about it," Su Yan said softly. "Aunt Liu, why don't you come work at my company? Once my investment company is up and running, I'll need a lot of help. If you're there, I can see you every day."
The thought of seeing him daily brought a warmth to Liu Jie's heart. Deep down, she truly cared about this young man. But she couldn't admit to herself what those feelings truly were.
"I'm just an ordinary woman. What could I even do at a big company like yours? Auntie's only fit for simple jobs, like cleaning. Your company's rent alone costs 80 million a year. I wouldn't be of much help."
Su Yan understood Liu Jie's insecurity. At 42, she was still incredibly beautiful and fair-skinned, but she lacked confidence in her abilities.
"Aunt Liu, actually, I just thought of something!" Su Yan suddenly exclaimed, as if a new idea popped up in his head. If he couldn't convince her one way, he'd try another. He wasn't about to let this chance slip by.
"Oh? What is it?" Liu Jie asked curiously, her desire to help Su Yan shining in her eyes. She was willing to do whatever she could for him, even if it meant giving up everything.
"My company is undergoing renovations right now, but construction companies can be shady if no one's keeping an eye on them. They'll cut corners if they're left unsupervised."
"Can you help me keep an eye on the renovation process?"
Su Yan was determined to bring Liu Jie into his company. While his excuse had some truth, his real goal was to get closer to her.
"Why not just hire someone else to do that?" Liu Jie asked, a little surprised.
Su Yan hugged her tightly, his voice soft and coaxing. "Aunt Liu, if I hire someone else, they might not pay attention to details, and we could end up losing millions. But I trust you. Please help me?"
He followed up his request with a gentle kiss on her cheek, knowing that Liu Jie couldn't bear to see him upset.
Hearing the mention of losing millions, Liu Jie's expression turned serious.
