Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Xiaohan, he's been gone for a week. It seems things haven't gone well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone without making a single phone call." Runqiong, a woman who has weathered many storms, was worried but couldn't think of a solution right away.

“Since there’s no communication equipment over there, why don’t I go find him?” Shen Menghan suddenly said, feeling that she could only feel at ease if she saw him in person.

"No, since he's in danger, you absolutely cannot go. Let's wait. If he needs help, there's a consulate there; they won't stand by and watch him die. Just be patient and don't act impulsively and sneak off. Grandma doesn't want to worry about another one." Runqiong earnestly advised her, afraid that she would be blinded by love and run off to find Zhicheng.

Shen Menghan nodded. If something really happened... she couldn't bear to imagine what would happen next. She just hoped everything would go smoothly.

"We'll call back later." Runqiong put her phone back on the coffee table, slowly stood up, and began pacing back and forth in the office. She said she was calm, but at that moment she was more anxious than anyone else.

Qin Fengjiao and Shen Menghan exchanged a glance. Qin Fengjiao gestured for her to go and comfort the old woman. With her son not around and her grandson in danger, the elderly woman in her twilight years was really having a hard time.

Shen Menghan walked towards her grandmother, indicating that Wang Sao could let go.

She helped the old man.

Runqiong walked with her to the floor-to-ceiling window. Below, a constant stream of people came and went, all busy making a living. Standing on the high ground and looking down, they felt that the people below were very small. But who is born strong?

"Xiaohan, that's why Grandma hopes you two will have children soon. The Li family is already small, and we can't let it become even smaller with you." Runqiong was heartbroken. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Zhicheng had an accident on this trip.

"Grandma, I'll listen to you. I'll discuss it with Zhicheng carefully when he comes back," Shen Menghan comforted her. She wanted to have an open and honest talk with Li Zhicheng.

If he could overlook the fact that she was photographed, she would put aside all her concerns and get along well with him. If they were truly destined for each other, she would accept it and do everything she could to persuade her grandmother and mother!

Seeing the two of them standing so close, their backs so intimate, Qin Fengjiao couldn't help but tear up. If she were at home, she could have all of this too, but she stubbornly refused to go back.

Li Zhicheng and Li Jun engaged in a fierce debate with the other side, and after a full fifteen hours of arguing, the other side finally agreed to continue cooperating under the same conditions!

Li Zhicheng and Li Jun held another banquet, inviting all of the other party's top executives to dine. All this fuss took place the next day.

He then remembered that he should return the call to his grandmother first.

He took out his phone and dialed that very familiar number.

"You brat, if you don't call me back soon, I'm flying over to find you. Even workaholics need to have limits. What if you ruin your health by working so hard?"

Grandma launched into a tirade, but upon hearing his voice, her anxiety finally subsided.

"Grandma, the situation is quite special and we can't be careless at all, which is why I haven't had time to call you. I'll be back in three days after I finish up some things. You can beat me if you want then!"

Li Zhicheng teased playfully, saying that his grandmother was just like a child, and that she could be easily coaxed.

"Are you going to call someone else?" Grandma reminded him at the right moment.

"Huh? Who is it?" Li Zhicheng didn't react for a moment.

"You brat, of course she's your wife! Isn't Xiaohan your wife? You've been gone for days, making her so worried. I don't care, you have to make it up to Xiaohan when you come back, until she gets pregnant, then I'll forgive you!"

"Heh..." Li Zhicheng was speechless! Grandma was cheating!

Shen Menghan was sitting next to her grandmother. When she heard her words, she blushed with embarrassment. How could she say such a thing?

"Grandma, is anything unusual at home while I'm not here?" Li Zhicheng suddenly asked seriously. Could it be that Li Dahai and the others were taking advantage of the situation to do something reckless?

"No, but Jingwen is back and has gone to work at the company, taking over Guowei's old position. I agreed to this, so you can't undermine him," Grandma reported truthfully.

"Okay. I'm going to get back to work now. Take care of yourself, Grandma."

After Li Zhicheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, this kid didn't even say goodbye!" Runqiong cursed into the phone.

Shen Menghan just smiled. Her grandmother was actually quite easy to get along with, much like her maternal grandmother; both were kind-hearted elderly women.

Just then, her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Li Zhicheng calling.

Runqiong turned her head to look, then smiled knowingly, "Sister Wang, let's go first, don't disturb Xiaohan here."

"Grandma, aren't you going to eat yet?" Shen Menghan quickly called out to them.

"Come back when it's time to eat!"

Well, she had nothing to say, so she had no choice but to answer Li Zhicheng's call.

His voice came from afar, and her heart started racing as she held the phone.

"Xiaohan, I'm so sorry, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to call you. I hope you won't blame me." Li Zhicheng's voice was filled with endless fatigue, which she could still feel even through the phone.

"Okay, you rest first, we can talk when you get back." Shen Menghan wasn't used to talking to him for long, so she tried to cut him off.

"Xiaohan, I miss you. Do you miss me?" the man asked shamelessly, hoping to get some response.

"Ah."

Shen Menghan gave a vague reply.

"I'll be back in three days."

"Oh."

She seemed listless, not as happy as he had expected, but wasn't her indifference also within his expectations?

Li Zhicheng didn't dare to ask for too much. Getting a response from her was already good enough. How could he ask for too much all at once?

Shen Menghan hadn't received any text messages for the past few days. She thought the matter had been resolved and her anxious heart had calmed down. However, Qin Fengjiao was visiting her less and less, and even when she called, she was always busy. She assumed she was working overtime to catch up on the training she had missed, so she wasn't too worried.

If you apply a thick layer of powder, the scars on her face won't be so noticeable. After putting on a delicate makeup, she went home.

Grandma has been discharged from the hospital and is now trying to walk. Shen Feng supports her the whole time and doesn't dare to let go.

When she returned, she only saw the two of them and didn't see Qin Fengjiao, which she found strange.

"Mom, hasn't Linglong come back yet?" Shen Menghan found it strange. Shouldn't she be home from get off work by this time usually?

“She hasn’t been coming home at night lately, it seems like she hasn’t been back for several days in a row. She said she was staying at your place overnight.” After Shen Feng finished speaking, she looked at her suspiciously, as if she had heard something amiss.
