Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 14 Complex Relationships

"Zhicheng, if you dare to bully Xiaohan, Grandma won't let you off! Xiaohan, if he dares not listen to you, tell Grandma, and Grandma will teach him a lesson. He won't dare to disobey Grandma, okay?" Runqiong laughed happily. Seeing the scene of the two of them exchanging glances just now, she felt very gratified. The two of them were her only hope.

Shen Menghan nodded solemnly. No matter how long she stayed in the Li family, she was deeply moved by her grandmother's care for her, and she would reciprocate in the same way.

"Grandma, I heard that listening to your wife will bring you wealth. I will listen to Xiaohan, so don't worry about it." Li Zhicheng helplessly spread his hands. He was both happy and worried that his grandmother was so protective of Xiaohan. If Shen Menghan could not get along with his grandmother in a friendly manner and hurt her feelings, he would definitely suffer in the future, caught between the two.

Throughout the day, Grandma was humble and tried to please Xiaohan, and Xiaohan also kept accommodating to Grandma. He has no burden at the moment, but he is afraid that in the long run, if other things happen and damage their friendship, he will feel very troubled.

Grandma suddenly burst into laughter, hahaha!

Shen Menghan simply pursed her lips. He could keep his glib tongue to himself, but she disliked people who talked big with their mouths.

However, she didn't contradict him in front of her grandmother. Even if she didn't like it, the contract still had to continue.

"Oh, it's not up yet." Li Zhicheng kept his eyes glued to his phone, watching the news links that had appeared earlier slowly disappear. When he clicked on them, they were no longer there. His forehead slowly relaxed. Li Yong's actions had always been swift and hadn't disappointed him. If he didn't do a good job, he would really fire him.

Shen Menghan also stared at her phone. After trying a few times, her anxiety subsided. As long as her mother didn't know, she didn't care about anyone else.

"What are you two doing, chatting on your phones? Do you think this old woman is getting in the way of your date?" Runqiong teased them, seeing them both looking at their phones and constantly scrolling, with the same expression on their faces.

Tao Menghan awkwardly showed her face, placed her phone on the table, and waited quietly.

Unconsciously, Li Zhicheng did the exact same thing as her, then leaned towards his grandmother, winked at her, and said excitedly like a mischievous child, "Grandma, we're going on a date with you today. If you want to see a movie, we can go together later?"

"You two want to go see a movie? This old lady won't go. I'll go back first after we finish eating, and you two can go. I'm about to explode if I keep being a third wheel." Runqiong joked again. She could tell that the two of them seemed to have a lot to say to each other, and if she didn't know better, she would become annoying.

Shen Menghan quickly clarified, "Grandma, we didn't plan to watch a movie. We're just here to keep you company today."

"Grandma, since you don't want to go shopping, shall we go home together?" Li Zhicheng had his own plans; he had other things to do and couldn't stay with the old woman any longer.

"Okay, then, let's go home. You can close the door early and fight the demons!" Grandma's mischievousness was embarrassing!

Shen Menghan hadn't quite grasped what was going on. How did she fight the demon? She looked at Li Zhicheng. Her grandmother, an elderly woman, seemed to understand these online slang terms better than she, a young woman.

Li Zhicheng also pretended to be stupid, but answered his grandmother: "The fairy is too bad, let's play whack-a-mole."

"Whack-a-mole? Hahaha, okay, let's play whack-a-mole!"

What kind of game is whack-a-mole? Shen Menghan was completely baffled by the two of them. She remained calm, greeted them after the food was served, and then began to eat.

Grandma's phone rang at that moment. She glanced at it and then pressed the speakerphone button.

"Mom, when are you coming back? Dinner's ready." It was Lu Fen calling, actually to test the waters.

“We’re eating out now, no need to save any food for us. Is there anything else?” Runqiong’s attitude towards Lu Fen had always been cold. Her aloofness made Lu Fen on the other end of the phone even more uncomfortable.

"That's all, Mom. Be careful on your way back."

Are you cursing me to have an accident on the road?

"No, Mom, I really didn't mean anything by it. Don't take it to heart. Shall we eat first?"

"Ah."

Runqiong pressed the red button forcefully.

She looked at Li Zhicheng, her voice softening considerably, a stark contrast to her previous tone: "If you don't want to eat at the same table, then eat in your room and ignore her."

"I don't plan to go there and eat at the communal kitchen." Li Zhicheng pouted. He wanted to spend time alone with Xiaohan and slowly cultivate her feelings for him.

"Xiaohan, can you cook? If not, ask Aunt Li to cook for you. Don't force yourself."

Shen Menghan looked up at them and then said with difficulty, "I understand."

She can cook, but she doesn't know how to make any dishes. At home, her mother doesn't let her worry about these things. From childhood to adulthood, she is told to focus on her studies. After she grows up and starts working, her mother will occasionally come to Xicheng to cook for her, or she will tell her to make some noodles, or go to a nicer restaurant outside and not force herself to eat.

She was good at making noodles, but her porridge would burn, and even her stir-fried vegetables would get mushy. After making a mess of things several times, she decided to stop cooking and just make do.

"Grandma, I won't let Xiaohan cook. The smell of cooking oil is not suitable for her to prepare for pregnancy."

"!!"

Shen Menghan glared at him fiercely. He did it on purpose! Did he want her to bombard him?

“Yes, I won’t interfere with you. If your mother does, just let me know and I’ll deal with her.” Runqiong was very righteous, as if she had to see things through to the end as long as it concerned Lu Fen.

"Grandma, you don't need to get involved. If she really goes too far, I'll have my dad teach her a lesson." Li Zhicheng said casually, showing that he had never cared about his mother!

She posed no threat to him whatsoever!

Shen Menghan was even more curious, as Lu Fen's status in the Li family seemed to be very low.

After their meal, they strolled around the neighborhood with Grandma for a while before returning to the Li family home together. Grandma probably really wanted to give them some space, because she didn't look for them again after they got back.

Shen Menghan and Li Zhicheng entered the house, and she thought she could finally relax. Little did she know that Li Meili was sitting in the living room, watching TV with her legs crossed. When she saw them return, she politely said, "Cousin, you're back. Would you like to watch TV and chat for a while?"

Li Zhicheng glared at her and retorted with obvious annoyance, "You should move to my mom's place. It's inconvenient for you to continue living here now that I'm married."

Shen Menghan looked back and forth between the two of them with a strange expression. They used to live under the same roof, a man and a woman alone together. Why couldn't she sense any sparks of love between them?
