Sometimes when Zhao Shumin thought about it, she felt it was a bit ridiculous. But Xiao Yan is indeed a kind child. In this unfamiliar Shanghai, she had to take proper care of him.
"Aunt, you can't live alone."
"In the future, I'll have no choice but to live alone. Anyway, I don't trust anyone anymore. Living alone is fine—it's free and easy."
"Once you find a girlfriend, aunt will move away. I can sew clothes anywhere. I'll just find a random small town where the cost of living is cheap and settle down."
Li Zhiyan quickly said, "Aunt, you can't leave. If you leave, I'll be sad the rest of my life."
Li Zhiyan's words made Zhao Shumin's eyes sting. She glanced at Li Zhiyan, her eyes growing blurry.
Li Zhiyan couldn't bear to let her go, but deep down, she herself didn't want to leave Li Zhiyan either.
"In the future, it'll just be the two of us, Aunt."
"I'll love you well."
"Stop saying nonsense. You need to get married and have kids, you hear me?"
