Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Jiang Yingluo lowered her eyelids slightly and said softly, "You're still young, I'm already an aunt..."

Having regained control, Li Xingzhou said with a smile, "It's a new era now, age is not a problem."

With everyone cultivating immortality, age is just a decoration, except for showing off how old you are and what realm you've broken through.

Where does Aunt Luo look old?

She's not old at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he lived to be eighteen in both of his lives, and that the time flow was different between the cultivation world and his hometown, Aunt Luo would have to call him "Dad"!

"I already have a daughter, and she's older than you..."

“Family isn’t a problem.” After a pause, Li Xingzhou added, “Anyway, you’ve never been married or had a husband, right?”

Jiang Yingluo looked up at Li Xingzhou's serious eyes, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips: "Xingzhou, you're thinking too simply. Auntie is very busy and often travels all over the world for work..."

"Distance is not a problem for me!"

"People will look at you strangely..."

"Rumors and gossip are not a problem."

As Li Xingzhou spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yingluo a few more times. Aunt Luo's thinking was a bit old-fashioned; even though she was cultivating immortality, she was still stuck in the past.

This kid is serious!

Jiang Yingluo pursed her red lips. If it were before the meal, or even before the attack, she would definitely have given him a good whack to stop him from overthinking.

but now……

This kid is bold, direct, and doesn't even hide his genuine desire to show off in front of me...

Jiang Yingluo recalled that she had been somewhat flustered before the 'side effects' of her body manifested.

Because he discovered that Li Xingzhou had similarities with him in terms of personality: they both preferred the sense of accomplishment of crushing their opponents with absolute confidence.

This is probably a case of like attracts like, and resonance is only possible when frequencies are the same.

Jiang Yingluo did not deny that after spending just a few hours together, she had indeed come to see Li Xingzhou in a different light.

Even if Li Xingzhou said it was no problem, reality wouldn't let him off so easily.

Jiang Wanzhao, who is about to ascend the throne, will certainly not allow Li Xingzhou to marry a single woman with a daughter, because becoming a member of the royal family will bring him prestige.

He also had to consider Xue Tang's feelings.

Xue Tang would most likely never accept dating an eighteen-year-old kid...

Pooh!

Jiang Yingluo raised her hand and rubbed her temples, wondering what she had been thinking about.

How come you're already thinking about marriage when nothing's even going to happen yet?

Moreover, this child's affection for himself is probably also driven by a desire to make up for a lack of love in his childhood.

This should be considered a purely physiological impulse.

"Let's set sail." Jiang Yingluo composed herself. "One day you will meet an outstanding girl among your peers who resonates with you. Then you will know what true love is."

She decided to give Li Xingzhou some advice and guidance.

More importantly, I felt uneasy.

Because Li Xingzhou is too strong, if he really gets angry, Jiang Shi won't be able to stop him.

Therefore, we can only try to calm him down and prevent him from becoming hateful.

Li Xingzhou smiled noncommittally: "Aunt Luo, you gave up without even trying?"

"Don't try to provoke me!" Jiang Yingluo glared at him. "This is not the same thing."

"Now I know what I really feel inside."

As Li Xingzhou spoke, he walked out of the park and discreetly moved to the outside of the sidewalk.

Once a good impression has been established, attention to detail is definitely a plus.

Jiang Yingluo opened her mouth, but her initial attempt to be assertive softened.

Because Li Xingzhou was under Jiang Wan's strict supervision, because Li Xingzhou had been constantly cultivating, because Li Xingzhou had never been in a relationship...

That's why Jiang Yingluo thought the child was thoughtful.

His experience in the orphanage did not make the child withdrawn; on the contrary, it fostered his gentle personality.

Jiang Yingluo took a deep breath and put her arm around Li Xingzhou's arm again. She said softly, "Do you know that thirty days is the limit of how much you can like someone physically? After three months, your feelings of liking someone will gradually fade."

The hormones that surge when you like someone don't last more than ninety days. If, after three months, the relationship is still going well, it means you're very compatible.

Li Xingzhou looked down at her: "Aunt Luo, are you giving me a chance?"

“No.” Jiang Yingluo’s fingers tightened slightly around Li Xingzhou’s arm. “Give each other a chance.”

Jiang Yingluo looked up at Li Xingzhou. Although her eyes were gentle, they also revealed a calm demeanor befitting President Jiang.

"Physiological and psychological factors cannot be generalized." Jiang Yingluo tried to calm her voice: "The reason for blushing and a racing heart could also be the suspension bridge effect."

Whether it's possible or suitable can't be decided in five hours, even if you discover my secret.

She knew this matter couldn't be delayed, because Li Xingzhou was really bold and direct.

If avoidance is useless, then face it head-on.

This made Li Xingzhou realize that liking someone is not just about liking them.

“So,” Jiang Yingluo said, becoming increasingly calm, “since neither of us understands each other, we might gradually discover that we are not on the same path.”

Although Li Xingzhou is powerful, his age means he doesn't know much, and his youthful impetuosity prevents him from fully understanding the meaning of love and marriage...

Therefore, Jiang Yingluo decided to use a combination of gentle persuasion and firmness to make him understand that some things cannot yield sweet results just by speaking a few words or acting impulsively.

Looking into Jiang Yingluo's eyes, Li Xingzhou thought to himself, "President Jiang and Aunt Luo are indeed two different people."

Moreover, from Jiang Yingluo's voice, he could easily tell that Aunt Luo was...traditional in matters of the heart.

Jiang Yingluo has already considered things after marriage.

Feeling the oppressive gaze of Jiang Yingluo, Li Xingzhou knew that if he showed any weakness at this moment, then their time together tonight would be worthless.

Even afterwards, Jiang Yingluo wouldn't even glance at her.

Will he back down?

of course not!

Because I like it, and also because it's challenging.

More importantly, Jiang Yingluo was clearly determined.

What do women need?

A sense of security, and a man's sense of responsibility.

Li Xingzhou stopped and, without saying a word, pulled Jiang Yingluo into his arms.

Although Jiang Yingluo had already decided to confront Li Xingzhou's feelings, she still couldn't help but tense up at this moment.

This child is so bold that he always surprises himself.

But ironically, this unexpected directness is far more reassuring than language.

Jiang Yingluo gradually relaxed, hesitated for a few seconds, and then raised her hands and placed them on Li Xingzhou's waist.

He feels so hot...

Jiang Yingluo closed her eyes. Although she didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong, at least for now...

No regrets.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; due to the city-wide curfew, there were not many people to be seen on the streets.

The sirens of the Demon Suppression Division wailed intermittently, signaling the unrest in the hearts of a small number of people tonight.

Even though Li Xingzhou was holding her hand, Jiang Yingluo's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

After calming down completely, a sense of absurdity welled up in my heart.

Xue Tang and Jiang Wanzhao are best friends. How could I, Xue Tang's mother, have gotten into this situation with Jiang Wanzhao's younger brother?

It's like his mother opened the door for someone else who's just ridiculous; it's ridiculous to the extreme.

But... I still don't feel any regret.

Jiang Yingluo put her phone back in her pocket, pursed her red lips, glanced at Li Xingzhou, and said softly, "So, our relationship now is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xingzhou interrupted, "The stage of getting to know each other!"

"Ok?"

Jiang Yingluo was stunned for a moment, then saw Li Xingzhou turn his head and say seriously, "Aunt Luo, you just said that we don't know each other well right now, so let's start by getting to know each other."

"..."

This unexpected answer made Jiang Yingluo laugh in exasperation.

Where did that bold and outspoken kid go?

Now you're playing the coy card, huh?

"Aunt Luo?"

Li Xingzhou looked at Jiang Yingluo with suspicion—she was faking it.

He listened to all that Jiang Yingluo said, but listening doesn't mean he'll follow her lead.

Although she said "give each other a chance," she naturally had the initiative because she was the one who brought it up first, and was the one being pursued.

But Li Xingzhou didn't think so.

Since it's a two-way street, it's not a one-sided affair where one side holds all the initiative.

Love is war!

So he took advantage of his young age.

Seeing Li Xingzhou's innocent expression, Jiang Yingluo swallowed back the harsh words she wanted to say.
