The Road to a Divine Harem Starting with a Stepmom Companion

Chapter 19: Auntie Understands, You Can’t Control It Either

“Auntie, could you bring your phone in? Or is there a rule here about not carrying phones while working?”

Auntie shook her head. “No, it’s not like that. It’s just inconvenient to have my phone on me while helping clients relax with a massage, so I leave it outside.”

“Alright then, wait a moment. I’ll go out and bring the phone in.”

Cao Shaoyang smiled and said, “I’ll wait for you, Auntie.”

With his response, Auntie temporarily set aside her task, stood up, and stepped out to retrieve her phone.

In the private room, Cao Shaoyang fiddled with his own phone as he waited, occasionally checking for new messages.

Meanwhile, Auntie, on her way back with her phone, was intercepted by a few idle masseuses.

A well-proportioned young masseuse was the first to speak. “Auntie Yu, how’s it going in there? Are they ready to sign up for a membership? A few thousand, or tens of thousands?”

Yu Na smiled at the inquisitive young woman, who looked ready to dive into gossip. “Not yet! It’s too soon—I haven’t even started recommending anything.”

“Then why did you come out to get your phone?” another masseuse asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. He wanted my WeChat, but I didn’t have my phone with me, so I came out to grab it.”

“Oh~” the first masseuse teased. “Looks like this one’s in the bag. He even wants your WeChat. Auntie Yu, seems like you’ve got yourself another VIP client.”

“Jealous! Good clients like that are rare—young, handsome, and rich. Auntie Yu, if you sign a big deal, you’ve got to treat us to a meal!”

Yu Na looked at the teasing young women with a gentle smile, her eyes filled with maternal warmth. She replied cheerfully, “Of course, Auntie will treat you all to a feast when the time comes.”

“That’s a promise then! Good luck, Auntie Yu. Go seal that big deal!”

Yu Na chuckled and waved them off. “Alright, that’s enough chatting. My client’s still waiting inside.”

Amid their whispered encouragements, Yu Na returned to Cao Shaoyang’s private room.

“You’re back, Auntie.”

“Yes.”

They exchanged WeChat information.

“‘Blooming Wealth’? Auntie, this must be your personal account, right?”

“Doesn’t the name sound old-fashioned?”

Cao Shaoyang hesitated. “Uh… yeah, it’s a bit dated.”

Yu Na laughed. “But it fits someone of my age, doesn’t it?”

“Does it? A beautiful woman like you should have a more meaningful name. Why pick something like Blooming Wealth? It’s so common—search it online, and you’ll find tons. Even your profile picture, that pale pink flower, feels overly traditional.”

“You caught me. I picked it on purpose. I got tired of people adding me on WeChat to harass me, so I chose this name to fend them off. And it worked! Ever since I changed it, I’ve had almost no unwanted messages.”

Cao Shaoyang couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up. “Auntie, that’s brilliant!”

Yu Na chuckled, her demeanor playfully mischievous. “Isn’t it?”

The massage session passed quickly amidst their casual chatter.

The energy of youth truly knows no bounds. Even though Cao Shaoyang had just finished a “battle” at Aunt An Yu Wei’s place, the occasional intimate contact with the mature aunt during the massage naturally elicited a physical reaction from him.

The loose, lightweight clothing provided by the spa offered little concealment, and Yu Na, seated directly across from him, couldn’t help but notice.

Masseuses were accustomed to such situations, but Yu Na’s cheeks still flushed involuntarily.

After all, her clients were mostly women. Male clients rarely chose someone her age, usually preferring young, attractive masseuses.

Even though male clients occasionally came in, they were rare—she might encounter only a few in an entire month, and even then, they usually came with their wives and children.

Such awkward situations were almost nonexistent for her these days, something she had only dealt with in her youth. It was that past experience that allowed her to maintain a composed expression while continuing to serve Cao Shaoyang.

Earlier, as he reclined on the sofa, the position had offered some semblance of concealment.

But once the foot massage ended and it was time to move to the bed for a full-body relaxation massage, the situation changed as soon as Cao Shaoyang stood up.

Feigning a shy and embarrassed demeanor, Cao Shaoyang apologized, “I’m sorry, Auntie. I really can’t help it. You’re just so attractive.”

Yu Na’s gaze faltered slightly. While she wasn’t inexperienced in dealing with people, this was the first time she’d encountered someone like this young man. It had been many years since she’d faced such a situation, and her skin had grown thinner with age.

Still, the thought of being admired by someone so young brought a flicker of joy and pride to her heart, despite her efforts to appear unaffected.

Feigning calm, she replied, “It’s alright! This kind of thing is completely normal. Even you can’t control it, and Auntie understands.”
