Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"No, I'm not destined for that." Qin Fengjiao put away her joking attitude. If she really wanted to climb up that ladder, she wouldn't need Xiaohan's help; she could just go back to that family and apologize. But she refused and remained stubborn.

"Pfft! If you work hard at Li's company, you'll definitely have your day. Just don't forget your original intentions and don't be tempted by some offers." Shen Menghan gave her another warning, afraid that she might go astray if she wasn't careful. She has a rather flamboyant personality and sometimes she can't control her words and easily offend people.

"Mmm, I know, my queen!" Qin Fengjiao whispered sweetly, the two snuggling together, very intimately.

Shen Feng peeked out from inside and shook her head when she saw them like this. She really couldn't do anything about them. People who didn't know the situation would think that the two of them had a strange relationship. However, she knew her daughter's sexual orientation very well. She was not a lesbian.

On Sunday, Shen Menghan got up early, intending to call a car to take her to the hospital, but Li Zhicheng sent a car early in the morning. Knowing that they didn't want to see him, he disappeared.

With their help, Grandma finished all the examinations. She breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over. They had been taking pictures here and there, almost driving her crazy.

"Grandma, let's eat out. We should be able to get the report when we get back this afternoon." Shen Menghan and Li Zhicheng had already discussed it. They decided to have an unexpected encounter at the Chinese restaurant so that the other party wouldn't mind so much.

Qin Fengjiao chimed in, "That's right, let's go have a nice meal. Grandma, you and Auntie have come to Xicheng and haven't had a good meal outside yet. It's a good opportunity to celebrate Xiaohan's promotion."

"It's expensive and unhygienic to eat out. Let's go back and eat here. Otherwise, I'll wait here and you can cook and bring it to me." Grandma still felt it was wasteful and didn't want to eat out.

It's hard to change an old person's frugal nature.

Shen Menghan, however, thought of another idea. She took out her phone, tapped a few times, and said, "Okay, since there's a coupon, we'll go over in a bit. Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Xiaohan, where can I find coupons?" Qin Fengjiao immediately leaned over and winked at her. She knew her better than anyone else; she was trying to play tricks on her.

"There's a nice Chinese restaurant on the third street behind the hospital. I know the owner, and he said he can give us a coupon for a 62% discount. Grandma, let's go together." Shen Menghan thought that since they were already here, she should treat them to a good meal.

Grandma wanted to say something more, but Shen Feng stopped her: "Mom, don't keep making excuses for your child's filial piety. It's embarrassing for her. It's just a meal, how much can it cost?"

"Yes, I know you used to live a luxurious life, spending tens of thousands on a single meal! Haha!" Although Grandma was praising you, she was actually mocking you.

"My God, Mom, how were you so rich before?" Shen Menghan was stunned. If it was true, why had her mother never told her? She could at least be envious and look up to her!

"Those are all things that have passed, why bring them up again? Come on, let's have a nice meal together. Mom, please don't expose my shortcomings in front of Xiaohan. If I were really that great, I wouldn't be like this today." Shen Feng was quite helpless. She didn't really want to recall those past events.

“I know it’s because of this old woman that I’m dragging you down. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to stay in our little village. Alright, alright, once the test results come out and prove I’m fine, and the house in the village is built, I’ll go back by myself. You stay here in Xicheng with Xiaohan and do whatever you want.”

Grandma seemed genuinely angry; she spoke harshly, but her words carried an endless loneliness.

Shen Menghan never expected that they would argue over this, and she was at a loss for what to do.

"Grandma, we will all be together, no matter where we are, because we are family! Xiaohan, Auntie, and I are your closest relatives, and we will always be by your side. Look, what you just said makes us so sad. Please don't scare us anymore."

Qin Fengjiao bent down and tightly grasped her grandmother's hand, a smile on her round face. She couldn't enjoy the happiness that belonged to her in that home, but with her grandmother and Aunt Shen, she felt a lot of love, and her emotional wounds were healed a lot with them.

"Her? Well, never mind, let's not talk about it anymore." Grandma thought that it was indeed because of her that she had harmed her daughter, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Many things are predestined, and she can't blame anyone; perhaps this is just her fate.

Shen Feng also fell silent. In fact, after returning to Xicheng, seeing many familiar streets would bring back many memories for her.

When they arrived at the Chinese restaurant, Li Zhicheng was already waiting there. He greeted them with a smile, as if he were very surprised, and said, "I just made a reservation. How many of you are there? Why don't you come together?" He didn't dare to directly flirt with his grandmother and aunt, for fear that they would be even more disgusted.

Li Jun and another legal advisor were there; they were actually people he had brought in to make up the numbers, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Grandma merely glanced at him indifferently, without objecting.

Shen Feng appeared rather sharp, sizing him up before turning to her daughter. Since they were already here, there was no reason for them to leave, especially since she had just mentioned having a discount coupon.

"President Li, what a coincidence! So, how many of you are there? Can we all sit at one table?" She pursed her lips after saying that, feeling extremely uneasy about openly lying in front of her grandmother and the others.

"There are three of us and four of you? That's perfect, let's go together."

“Okay, let’s pool our money.” Shen Menghan happily agreed, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her suggestion.

Her grandmother and mother didn't object, so she followed them into a private room.

Qin Fengjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, as she was afraid that her grandmother and aunt would quarrel and she would have to leave once they arrived.

The food has already been ordered, and they will be served as soon as they arrive.

Grandma was delighted to see all the dishes she liked, and even Shen Feng's previously gloomy expression softened considerably.

Shen Menghan ate quite elegantly, a stark contrast to her behavior at the Li family home.

"Auntie, Grandma, do you like these dishes? I apologize for leaving without saying goodbye last time. I had to leave because of an emergency at work." Li Zhicheng tried to start a conversation. After saving them, he didn't stay long. Although Xiaohan told him to leave in a hurry, he didn't want them to misunderstand.

"Oh, Mr. Li, you're busy, so please don't worry about us. We haven't had a chance to thank you for what happened that day. Now that we've met, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude!"

As Shen Feng spoke, her eyes kept scanning Li Zhicheng. She should hate him, so why did she see a familiar shadow in him? Moreover, she felt that she had a rather inexplicable feeling about him.
