Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Uncle, you're so kind! I love you so much!" Li Jingwen speaks without thinking, and his words always make people happy.

"Alright, we're about to eat. Xiaohan, you should spend more time with Jingwen. He's a really nice young man, and he gets along well with Zhicheng. If it weren't for him, Zhicheng would have been so lonely when he was a child."

Runqiong smiled, revealing that her affection for Li Jingwen was truly heartfelt.

Shen Menghan chuckled softly without saying a word. She would listen to her grandmother, but whether she would follow her advice was another matter entirely.

"Hello, Auntie! My name is Jingwen. Please take care of me in the future!" Li Jingwen smiled at Shen Menghan, his handsome face quite charming.

Shen Menghan simply nodded, showing no intention of engaging in conversation with him.

“Jingwen, aren’t you doing well with your photography? Xiaohan works for a wedding dress company. You can visit her place if you have the chance. Xiaohan, you welcome him, right?” Runqiong kept trying to communicate between them, hoping to get her to let go of her prejudices.

"Okay, I'll definitely come if Auntie doesn't mind." Li Jingwen looked over expectantly, his hand still linked with Li Zhicheng's arm. Although it was a rather ingratiating look, he seemed particularly sincere.

"Go when you have time," Shen Menghan said indifferently. She looked down at her phone, seemingly uninterested. She just wanted to smooth things over with Li Zhicheng. If he disapproved of her situation, she would break up with him immediately and not want to delay them any longer.

"Okay, I'm so glad to hear Auntie say that! Uncle, let's go find Auntie together!" Li Jingwen quickly turned to look at Li Zhicheng, worried that he might misunderstand.

"Hmm." Li Zhicheng was clearly not as excited as him. Only now did he realize that he had forgotten about her because he was so engrossed in chatting with Jing Wen.

Not long after, Cui Cui came over to call them for dinner, and the group of them went over together.

Shen Menghan hurriedly finished her meal and went upstairs, leaving them to continue their lively conversation downstairs.

She took out her phone and called Qin Fengjiao, wanting an explanation. However, Qin Fengjiao answered the phone but hung up after less than three sentences. Her doubts grew even stronger, so she called her mother to ask if Linglong had returned home.

Shen Feng said no, but she had already called home to say she had something to do and wouldn't be coming back. Instead, they asked her why she was away on a business trip and not coming home.

"Mom, I'm going back tomorrow. It's too late to take a taxi back today. I'll stay at a friend's place."

"Xiaohan, you need to change your work habits. It's not good to always stay at other people's houses."

"Mom, I know. Once everything is running smoothly, I won't be traveling so often. I'll just delegate things to my subordinates. You and Grandma should get some rest. Remember to call me if you need anything. I have a meeting to attend to now."

Once you've lied once, you'll do it countless times.

Shen Menghan felt a deep sense of guilt. She had never lied to her mother before, but because of Li Zhicheng, she had forced herself to lie time and time again. If she didn't change this habit, she was afraid she would never be able to change it again.

"Okay, you're busy, but you must take care of your health no matter how busy you are. I'll make food for Grandma first."

"Okay, bye mom."

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the balcony and looked up. The area in front of Xu Jingjing's room was desolate. If they hadn't gone so far, Li Zhicheng wouldn't have been so ruthless.

If he really wanted them to spend their time in jail, she would not say a word. As for her grandmother's request, she would pretend she had never heard it. She had already been bullied like this, so why should she have to wrong herself to please others?

After she finished showering and read for a while, Li Zhicheng came upstairs.

She pretended to be asleep, wanting to see what he would do.

Li Zhicheng pushed open the door and came in. His eyes first searched for her figure. He found that she had already fallen asleep. He couldn't help but pat his head lightly. After finishing his meal, he wanted to go upstairs, but his grandmother and Jingwen kept pestering him to chat. He had no choice but to stay with them.

It was already past nine o'clock. Xiaohan was asleep so early, probably because he had been too tired these past few days. He tiptoed to the wardrobe, took out his clothes, and went to take a shower.

Shen Menghan slowly opened her eyes, listening to the rushing water, and then covered her head.

Want to sleep? How could she fall asleep so easily? Worried about Qin Fengjiao and wanting to resolve her own problems as soon as possible, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until Li Zhicheng came out. Then she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He walked quietly to the bedside, stood in front of her, and stared at her face, which was now completely exposed. Although the scars on it had healed somewhat, one could still see how hideous and terrifying they had once been.

"Xiaohan, they will definitely pay the price. She will pay back double for your face!" His voice was extremely deep, and his eyes were very sinister, as if he wanted to push them to the bottom.

Shen Menghan quietly took a breath. She just wanted to pretend to be asleep, why was it so difficult?

"Li Jun, how's your situation going?"

Li Zhicheng took out his phone and dialed a number, but he walked a little further away, afraid of waking her up, unaware that she had already woken up.

"President, it's been dealt with. I was just about to ask you for a definitive answer." Li Jun dared not delay; it was normal for the president's affairs to be dug up in the middle of the night.

"If Xu Jingjing is disfigured, Li Guowei's hands will be crippled." He said very firmly, not wanting Li Jun to think he was hesitating.

"Okay, I'll call them right away. President, just wait for the good news."

"Row."

Shen Menghan heard it all clearly! Yet she didn't stop him; perhaps this was exactly the result she wanted?

Xu Jingjing was far too arrogant and should be made to pay the price. Li Guowei betrayed her and should also pay the price for his actions. How can she live a peaceful life if she keeps letting others ride on her head and act wildly?

Li Zhicheng quietly climbed into bed and lay down beside her, but dared not lay a hand on her.

She let out a soft moan, then opened her eyes, casually rolled over, and met his gaze.

He smiled at her, his voice very gentle: "Xiaohan, you're awake?"

"Well, I have something to tell you." She considered her words carefully, but then thought it would be better to just say it directly; being hesitant and indecisive was not like her at all.

"Xiaohan, I won't let them get away with what happened to Xu Jingjing. You don't need to say anything more, but I know you feel really wronged. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I apologize to you." His gaze was intense, his eyes growing increasingly fiery.

"Well, that's not what I wanted to talk about. Zhicheng, do you remember when I was humiliated at the Li family's place?" Shen Menghan said, her breathing becoming very rapid, and she was in a state of high tension.

"Yes, the suspect hasn't been caught yet, has he? If he were caught, I would make him pay the price." He made this promise with absolute certainty.
