Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

So a vigorous young man wouldn't be infatuated with beautiful women at all!

They've been kissing for so long, he shouldn't have forgotten so easily.

It couldn't possibly be that he had another woman outside...

Jiang Xuetang bit her lower lip lightly. Whether it was there or not didn't matter; what mattered was letting herself know, since she wouldn't say anything anyway...

You can't keep it a secret from your woman, can you...?

······

Minghuang City, Zixuan Tower.

As one of the properties under the Xingchen Group, the top floor of Zixuan Building did not host any extra guests tonight.

"Mr. Li, this way please."

Li Xingzhou followed behind Jiang Yingluo's secretary, Lin Qin, looking around at the interior of Zixuan Tower.

The restaurant features a wine-red color scheme, and the tables and chairs are all crafted from fine Phoebe zhennan wood, creating an elegant and refined atmosphere.

Li Xingzhou quickly looked away, his gaze settling on the elegant, beautiful woman by the window.

Tonight, Jiang Yingluo did not wear her usual smart formal attire. Instead, she changed into an elegant cheongsam that was well-tailored and hugged her graceful curves. A row of diagonal buttons below her snow-white neck revealed a hint of her delicate collarbone, which looked as if it were carved from beautiful jade.

The curves of her chest supported the luxurious silk fabric, creating a beautiful arc. Her slender waist accentuated her hips, making them resemble ripe peaches. The cheongsam had a low slit, but a pair of shapely, long legs were faintly visible through it. Thin black stockings revealed an alluring skin tone, instantly catching Li Xingzhou's eye.

"Master Li."

Jiang Yingluo stood up, her slender, shapely legs taking alternating steps. Her small, jade-like feet were adorned with purple high heels made of silk satin and embroidered with beautiful patterns, which were faintly visible, giving people a sense of beauty that transcended time and space and blended the ancient and the modern.

As a delicate yet refreshing fragrance wafted by, Li Xingzhou grasped Jiang Yingluo's outstretched right hand, touching it briefly before letting go: "President Jiang, you went to the west for an inspection. What did you think?"

"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the resources are abundant, but the people... sigh." Jiang Yingluo raised her hand and gently brushed a strand of her dark hair away from her cheek, a smile appearing on her elegant and noble face.

Tonight, Jiang Yingluo's attire has shed the aloofness and restraint she displayed as CEO Jiang, giving her an air of unparalleled beauty and ethereal elegance.

As Jiang Yingluo invited Li Xingzhou to sit down, she said, "This kind of land, blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, has been wasted by the Demon King City in the past."

“A bunch of beasts, what do they know about construction?” Li Xingzhou leaned back in his chair. “If my sister hadn’t been unable to get away before, those beasts wouldn’t have had the chance to act so arrogantly.”

Li Xingzhou directly admitted to his relationship with Jiang Wanzhao.

Although Jiang Yingluo already knew this information from Olivia, she still showed a surprised expression: "Your sister is... Chief Jiang?"

Li Xingzhou nodded, and Jiang Yingluo then asked, "Why do you have the surname Li?"

"My sister threw me out of the family tree." Li Xingzhou chuckled. "But mainly because she said I'm just an adopted son."

?

Jiang Yingluo was stunned.

Adopted son?

Isn't this just fooling people?!

Not to mention that Olivia could tell from the blood, Li Xingzhou and Jiang Wanzhao's appearances are obvious, how could they be faked?

It couldn't possibly be plastic surgery!

Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Yingluo's fair and jade-like face. There was no trace of foundation or concealer on her face. Her skin was naturally delicate, translucent, and even more moisturizing than cream, making it flawless.

She's a real beauty.

Li Xingzhou chuckled: "Haha, just kidding. My sister did this to protect me, so I could develop in a sneaky way. Otherwise, with two Supreme Beings in one sect, we might not even be alive today."

These words struck a chord with Jiang Yingluo.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, as the saying goes.

He had left himself many options, but unfortunately his cultivation talent was really poor, otherwise the Jiang family would have been a family with two supreme beings.

Jiang Yingluo smiled slightly: "Facts have proven that Chief Jiang's judgment was correct."

“Yes.” Li Xingzhou nodded, then suddenly changed the subject: “I still feel like I’ve seen my sister somewhere before.”

Jiang Yingluo was startled. Could it be that Olivia had really seen through her illusion when she was possessed?

She steadied herself and joked, "Am I dreaming?"

"Hmm...it seems that's true." Li Xingzhou nodded seriously, with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression.

Jiang Yingluo blinked. This child's expression was really deceptive. If she hadn't witnessed his ruthlessness, she would probably have mistaken him for an innocent little kid.

Uh… but Olivia said he really is eighteen.

He's just a little kid!

Jiang Yingluo chuckled softly: "What kind of dream was it?"

"Uh... well, let's not talk about that." Li Xingzhou coughed lightly, "Anyway, I do feel like I've seen you before. You look a lot like one of my students."

Looking at his expression, Jiang Yingluo wondered if he was having some kind of indecent dream.

She inwardly cursed, "Like your student? What's their name?"

A smile appeared on Li Xingzhou's face: "Her name is... Jiang Xuetang."

Jiang Yingluo stared at him with wide, beautiful eyes, and was momentarily stunned.

Is this what he meant by "looks familiar"?

Hey, something's off about this guy's eyes. Why are they so mischievous?

"Oh, you!" Jiang Yingluo immediately realized: "Did you already recognize that I am Xuetang's mother?"

You've been pretending to play me all along, haven't you?

······

Chapter 79 The Radiance of Motherhood

"Did you already recognize me as Xue Tang's mother?"

You've been pretending to play me all along, haven't you?

Jiang Yingluo felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. Both times, Olivia said that she looked familiar, which made her nervous every time, thinking that Olivia's disguise had been exposed.

Although I know that Li Xingzhou and Olivia later cleared up the misunderstanding, one is a human and the other is a vampire, and they are different races by nature. Even if they can get along peacefully, they will definitely still have the thought that "those who are not of my kind must have different hearts".

The results of it?

This kid only feels that Xue Tang's mother looks familiar because he knows her!

He actually tricked me!

“Sister, I wasn’t sure at first,” Li Xingzhou continued with a smile, “but your outfit tonight is radiant, and the brightness in your eyes is very similar to hers, so I’m sure now.”

Jiang Yingluo's beautiful eyes widened again.

She had indeed dressed up carefully tonight, not to seduce this little brat, but because Li Xingzhou was quite capable and held a high position, and since this wasn't a formal dinner party, wearing casual clothes was the most appropriate thing to do.

I just didn't expect that my attempt to conceal my brilliance would reveal a flaw...

"You actually guessed it the first time you saw me, didn't you?" Jiang Yingluo looked at Li Xingzhou. "You deliberately only recognized me now, didn't you?"

"I was arresting someone at the time, how could I ask for details?" Li Xingzhou spread his hands: "Sister Tang didn't mention you to me either, so I just guessed. After all, you look so alike, you must be either her mother or her aunt, how could I be sure what the relationship is?"

Jiang Yingluo glared at him: "Then why are you still calling me 'sister'? Do you think that's appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?" Li Xingzhou lied. "Sister Tang is my sister's best friend, not mine. I'm not even close to her. Besides, you've taken such good care of yourself, it's perfectly normal to call you 'sister'."

"Come on," Jiang Yingluo said slowly, "I'm already so old, unlike you, who are so young, and your skin is no worse than a girl's."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "Compared to you, sister, I'm just pigskin..."

Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but chuckle, not denying that this little brat had a really sweet tongue.

Li Xingzhou stared intently: "You look even more like her when you smile, just as bright and charming."

Jiang Yingluo's smile vanished. This child's eyes were so direct. Could he really have ulterior motives towards me?

She quickly changed the subject: "Your relationship with Xue Tang is just so-so?"

"It's alright." Li Xingzhou said while recalling Jiang Xuetang who took their first kiss. "Sister, you probably don't know, but everyone thinks that I've been missing for so many years because I abandoned Jiang Wanzhao, who was in the hospital bed, before the Great Cataclysm. Sister Tang thought so at first too."

Although my sister cleared up the misunderstanding, I've only met Sister Tang once. How good can a relationship be after just one meeting?

"Perhaps Sister Tang still has some doubts about why I left my sister's side back then."

Although Jiang Yingluo had never heard of this before, it didn't stop her from understanding it now.

It was no secret that Jiang Wanzhao was skilled in the Dao of Time and Space, so he may have made some deductions before he awakened, which is why he took advantage of the Great Cataclysm to hide Li Xingzhou and let him develop in secret.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou and Xue Tang's relationship was indeed just so-so, and probably not even that good.

After all, normal people don't have much affection for those who misunderstand them.

However, having given up the idea of ​​matchmaking her daughter with Li Xingzhou, Jiang Yingluo didn't feel too much regret at the moment. She simply said softly, "You must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"I'm not upset." Li Xingzhou looked at the dishes that were served. "As long as my sister understands me, what do other people's opinions have to do with me?"

I have the ability, and I believe in only one truth: if a road is impassable, I'll use my fists to open it. That's why outsiders don't dare to make any trouble.

Jiang Yingluo felt a little envious. She realized that she was not capable enough to be as confident as Li Xingzhou.

In this new era of spiritual revival, personal cultivation and strength are the most fundamental truths; whether a person is good or bad depends entirely on their character.

"elder sister……"

“Call me Auntie!” Jiang Yingluo corrected Li Xingzhou’s way of addressing her: “No matter what, you and Xuetang are of the same generation, it’s not appropriate for you to call me sister.”

"Okay, Aunt Luo."

"..."

Jiang Yingluo parted her red lips, wondering why Li Xingzhou seemed more satisfied with this form of address.

Should we make him change it back?

It makes it seem like you think he has something to hide.

She couldn't help but recall Olivia's assessment of his lechery.

Okay?
