That would be like adding an unnecessary shackle to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little spice while pulling the carriage, perhaps, but to really recognize someone as kin, Li Zhiyan was definitely unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhiyan decisively rejected the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, Little Darling, do you think Auntie isn't good enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or do you think Auntie isn't pretty enough and embarrasses you when out in public?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gu Wanzhou felt a bit of a headache; she had wanted to accept Li Zhiyan as a godson, so he wouldn't have to think about all those messy things any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already 41 years old, and he was only 18.
