Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

“Cousin, I’ve always lived here. Why do you want me to move out now that you’re getting married? Menghan, I won’t bother you. Please let me stay. I can keep you company during the day after you go to work.” Li Meili said anxiously. She tried to suppress her emotions, but she really couldn’t.

Shen Menghan glanced at her and replied bluntly, "I don't need company. I have to go to work tomorrow, unlike you who's all free."

Li Meili walked up to Li Zhicheng and pleaded, "Cousin, we grew up together and are like brothers. Are you really going to kick me out and abandon me? I was willful before, but I will change. I will never do anything to upset you again."

Shen Menghan rolled her eyes. She didn't have time to deal with Li Meili's affairs. Since Li Meili had a close relationship with Li Zhicheng, she would let him decide for himself.

However, leaving Li Meili by their side was always a potential problem. She worried that the agreement might be exposed before the due date, and she lacked confidence in her acting skills.

"No, this is my home, and I make the decisions. If you insist on staying, I'm very sorry, but the Li family will not tolerate you." Li Zhicheng said coldly. In his view, if he didn't let Li Meili give up, her being between him and Xiaohan would make Xiaohan lose faith in him.

"Cousin, I really don't want to leave, cousin's wife, cousin's wife!"

Li Meili had no choice but to change her form of address.

Shen Menghan suddenly turned around at the top of the stairs. What did Li Meili call her? Cousin-in-law? She wasn't used to that title for a moment.

Li Zhicheng would never agree to her request because of this. His voice remained as cold and stern as a mountain: "Move out before noon tomorrow."

"Cousin, cousin..."

Tears welled up in Li Meili's eyes. Why had everything changed in just one day?

Li Zhicheng followed Shen Menghan upstairs.

She paused at the doorway, glancing up at the house. It was actually quite nice, a single-story house with one room. The second floor where they were currently staying was the master bedroom, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom.

It has a total area of ​​about 100 square meters, and the study is probably quite spacious.

The living room is furnished almost entirely in a European style, simple and elegant, just like the wedding dress she designed, giving people a grand yet noble feeling.

If there's anything she doesn't like, it's that this house is only for temporary residence; she didn't buy it with her own money.

"Xiaohan, Meili used to live on the third floor. The fourth floor is a gym. You can go up there to work out whenever you want. You can do whatever you want with all the furniture and things in the house."

Seeing that she was paying attention to the house, Li Zhicheng smiled. He wanted to capture her heart little by little and not let her have any thoughts of escaping.

"We'll see," Shen Menghan said, then pushed open the door and went inside.

"I'll have someone change the locks tomorrow. No one will be allowed to come in except for the two of us and Aunt Li."

"Oh."

She responded calmly, saying that this was his home, and he could do whatever he wanted; she didn't want to interfere.

He reached out, wanting to wrap his arms around her slender waist from behind, but he pulled back as soon as he did. He kept telling himself to stay calm and not to rush things, lest he scare her away and ruin everything.

Xiaohan is a unique girl. She is aloof and proud, but becomes quite feisty when she is alone with him. He is curious about which one is the real her and wants to give himself more time to understand her better.

"Xiaohan, let me meet your mother another day?" He tried to start a conversation with her.

"No need, you go about your business and don't worry about me. There's no one else around now, so there's no need to put on an act," Shen Menghan said coldly. She still had work to do and couldn't afford to delay any longer.

They should have been unrelated to each other, but today that's an exception.

"Our agreement is for a year. Do you really want to continue treating each other with such polite formality?" He stared intently at her. Living under the same roof, they were close by, and if he couldn't win her heart, what use was he?

"of course."

Shen Menghan never considered developing any other relationship; that's unrealistic!

Last night, I'll just pretend I was drunk.

"Okay, you should take a shower and rest first. You must be exhausted after a long day of shopping. I'll go to the study to take care of some things."

After finishing his work and taking a shower, he saw that she had put the duvet cover back on and then went to the balcony to hang her clothes to dry.

To prevent Li Sao from discovering their relationship, he had already told her in the morning not to enter their room.

If cleaning is required, it must be done when they are home, or you must ask him in advance and get his permission.

Shen Menghan went to the balcony to call her mother. She knew she had to go home tomorrow to transfer the phone number to her mother's, otherwise her mother would worry if she wasn't home when her mother called.

Finally, after returning to her room, she said to Li Zhicheng, "I want to go back to my own place to live." She felt very uncomfortable living in the Li family's house.

"You must stay here. If there's anything you need my assistance with, just let me know." Li Zhicheng was unwilling to compromise on this point. "If you go back to live here, how will you get your revenge?"

She was always fickle, and these uncertainties made him anxious and fearful that she might suddenly disappear one day.

Shen Menghan bit her lip. She really shouldn't have gone back to live there, but she felt it was inconvenient for her to work here.

"Anyway, I'll go back to work tomorrow and come back in the evening, okay?" She squinted, still unable to bring herself to make a decision.

If she gave up on revenge, everything could go back to square one. But she's already taken that step, and there's probably no going back.

"You don't have a car, I'll give you a ride to work."

"No, I can go out and take the subway."

"The Li family's house is a half-hour drive from the subway station, and more than an hour's walk away. Are you sure you can manage?"

The Li family's residence is located in the suburbs of Xicheng District, near the Second Ring Road, and is some distance from the subway station.

But the Second Ring Road isn't a place that ordinary people can afford to live in. It's said that one square meter here costs tens of thousands of yuan. You can imagine how much it would cost for a house like the Li family's, which has over a thousand square meters. Especially since the houses built here are very unique in this area, Shen Menghan thought that it would probably be difficult to even hail a taxi.

And who knows how much time they wasted walking back and forth?

I should have just ridden her electric scooter. Electric scooters are convenient; you can go wherever you want, and parking is easy, especially in traffic jams, where you can find a way out.

"Xiaohan, don't forget you're Mrs. Li. How could my wife, Li Zhicheng's wife, be shabby? If you don't get into character, won't others easily see through your act?"

Li Zhicheng stared at her, leisurely, as if trying to see through her heart: "Don't tell me you don't want revenge. You need to pay the penalty for breach of contract. Do you have it?"

"Fine, you can have your driver take me to work, and I can take the subway home by myself after get off work, okay?" She finally gave in; otherwise, if the two of them continued to be at odds, she wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep.

“My driver is on leave starting tomorrow, so I’ll pick you up and drop you off at get off work,” Li Zhicheng said seriously, trying to find a way to get closer to her.
