Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Yes, let's meet him first. If he bullies you in the future, I'll go straight to his parents and settle the score." Shen Feng seemed serious; she believed that everything she did was for her daughter's good.

“Auntie, my parents are divorced. My dad isn’t in Xicheng right now. If I want to see my mom, I should be able to do it anytime. But it’s a bit more difficult for my dad. He’s traveling around now, and I can’t find him at all.” Li Zhicheng suddenly felt exhausted by having such parents.

Knowing that this is a necessary step, he is now somewhat hesitant.

But when I think about how if I back down, all the progress Xiaohan has made will be for naught, won't it?

"Divorce? Why did they divorce? Besides them, who else do you have?" As the representative, Shen Feng wanted to get to the bottom of the situation.

“They have marital discord, and I also have a grandmother; that’s all the family I have.” Actually, it was a relatively simple matter, and Li Zhicheng felt it was easy to accept.

"Oh, so you're having relationship problems? Well, let's arrange for you to meet your grandmother sometime." Shen Feng felt that they should still meet her.

"Yes, when I get back, I'll tell Grandma about it. She'll be very happy." Li Zhicheng hadn't forgotten that Grandma had always wanted to meet Xiaohan's family.

"Mom, I think it's a bit early. Let's talk about it later." Shen Menghan had a bad feeling and thought it was better not to meet.

“I definitely have to meet him. I want to see his family and get a glimpse of his future from them. If he’s someone who starts something but doesn’t finish it and is incompetent, how can I trust him to date you?”

“...Alright.” Shen Menghan had nothing to say. Even if they had to meet sooner or later, so be it. Her grandmother was a very easy person to get along with, and she was sure she would have a lot to talk about with her maternal grandmother.

Li Zhicheng thought so too. If he could persuade them to move to the Li family home, his grandmother would have someone to keep her company and wouldn't be so lonely. He kept pushing them to have children.

Qin Fengjiao obediently shut her mouth. Now she was superfluous. She could just open her mouth and eat as much as she wanted!

"Let's meet at a secluded place," Shen Menghan suggested, as she didn't want to be watched.

"How about we meet at my house? Let Auntie and Grandma have a good look at my home?" Li Zhicheng was very kind and wanted them to like the Li family at first sight.

"No." Shen Menghan refused. She would feel uncomfortable there. She came from a humble background, while he was the high and mighty Young Master Li. How could she be worthy of him?

She felt more at ease if she didn't think about it.

"Let's just find a street food stall and have a meal," Grandma insisted. In her opinion, a street food stall was already a very good place.

"Hmm, let's find a Western restaurant. When are you free, Grandma? My grandma can meet anytime." Li Zhicheng was very certain that as long as it was something he wanted to do, his grandma would definitely get out of bed.

“Okay, then I’ll do as you say. You make the arrangements. Xiaohan, have you met his grandmother yet?” Shen Feng said, then turned to her.

Shen Menghan hadn't expected her to ask that, and she was immediately stunned, answering neither yes nor no.

"How can you ask that? Even if she saw it, she wouldn't tell you. Anyway, they're together now, so why do you care if she's seen it or not? We'll know once we've seen them, right? If they don't get along, we can just have Xiaohan move out after she gets married."

Grandma glared at her daughter; she was just making trouble for the child.

"Mom, Grandma, I'll talk about it later. We've just started dating, and whether we can get married is still a long way off." Shen Menghan said, her face turning bright red. She couldn't let them worry.

"I will love Xiaohan for the rest of my life and I will never bully her." Li Zhicheng made this promise at the dinner table, worried that they might turn against him and overturn his previous agreement.

"Judging from your performance, what's the use of just talking?" Shen Feng glanced at him.

She still didn't really like him. Even though he had changed his surname, she didn't want her daughter to become a second version of herself, just because of his eloquent tongue.

"Yes, yes, I will prove it with my actions." Li Zhicheng immediately changed his attitude and became very humble.

Shen Menghan could see that they were still targeting Li Zhicheng, but she couldn't say anything more, for fear that they would get jealous later.

After finishing her meal, Qin Fengjiao went outside to the balcony for some fresh air.

Seeing that Xiaohan had found true love, she was filled with envy. Where was her own love?

That man? No, she didn't like him. Every time she thought of him, she felt endless pain. His presence brought her nothing but indelible sorrow; there had never been a moment of warmth.

In the past, when we first met, perhaps there was something there, but it was just too far removed from her life, and she felt it was no longer relevant to her.

When Li Zhicheng returned home, he found his grandmother and Jingwen in his room, saving him the trouble of looking for them.

"Zhicheng, why are you back alone again? Xiaohan didn't come back?"

“Grandma, she’s with her family. I just got back from there. They wanted to meet you because they felt that since we didn’t have a wedding before, our relationship doesn’t count. They want us to get to know each other again so we can continue our relationship.” Li Zhicheng said the words he had prepared beforehand.

Otherwise, if Grandma lets it slip when they meet, things will get complicated. Even though they've agreed to date, I'm afraid Grandma and Aunt Shen's conservative thinking won't forgive them for living together.

As for his grandmother, he had to keep it a secret to avoid arousing her suspicion.

"What's going on? Her family doesn't agree to you marrying Xiaohan?" Runqiong was shocked. Her grandson was so outstanding, there were many people vying for him. What kind of people were Xiaohan's parents?

"Yes, Xiaohan and I got married without telling them, so they didn't know. These days, Xiaohan and I are trying to make amends and hope they will stop opposing us."

"My grandson is such an outstanding person, how could they complain? Xiaohan is also good, but her parents are just too awful." Not only is Zhicheng handsome, but his family is also incredibly wealthy, something many women dream of. She couldn't think of any reason why they would refuse him.

"Grandma, this is a long story. See which day is more convenient for you. I'll talk to them and we'll meet. If you want Xiaohan to come back to live with you sooner, you have to listen to me. Don't mention that Xiaohan and I are already married, and don't act like you're very familiar with Xiaohan."

"Me, I have to do it secretly? How can Xiaohan's parents be so unreasonable?" Runqiong felt that her grandson was being wronged!

“Xiaohan only has a maternal grandmother and a mother, no father or grandmother. She grew up in a single-parent family, so she sometimes feels lonely. Once she settles down in our house and has a few children to play with you, all your grievances will no longer matter.”

After saying this, Li Zhicheng blinked his sleepy eyes at Li Jingwen, signaling him to also put in a good word for him.
