Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 22 Deliberately Picking a Fight

Shen Menghan raised an eyebrow. Why would Li Meili come to see Li Zhicheng so late? What were her intentions? If she hadn't been unfaithful to Li Zhicheng, she might have already started making a scene with someone else.

Although Li Zhicheng heard it, he did not respond. He focused intently on the food to prevent it from spoiling if it was kept hot for too long.

Since Li Zhicheng didn't speak, Shen Menghan didn't intend to answer her either.

Li Meili, however, was very outgoing. Regardless of whether they paid attention to her or not, she pushed the door open and came in as soon as she saw that it was not closed.

Shen Menghan was leaning against the sofa, wanting to take a nap, when she heard the door open. She slowly looked over and saw Li Meili enter wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown. Her figure was faintly visible under the narrow straps, creating a very alluring scene.

She swallowed hard, then looked away. What was Li Meili trying to do? Was she openly trying to seduce Li Zhicheng?

If it were a normal man, seeing her enchanting figure, he would probably find it hard to resist.

Seeing that she was dressed in designer clothes, Li Meili's gaze became very reserved, but soon she put on a gentle smile and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, you haven't come upstairs yet? Did you just get back? Haven't you eaten yet? Is your cousin making you something to eat in the kitchen? I'll go in and see him."

Shen Menghan glanced into the kitchen without saying anything, but Li Meili knew he was there and couldn't stop her from going, besides, she hadn't intended to stop her anyway.

She even had a thought: if she hadn't appeared, would Li Meili have been able to marry Li Zhicheng legitimately?

Li Zhicheng wants me to show off our affection, but who exactly is he trying to show it off to?

Seeing that Shen Menghan did not answer her, Li Meili assumed that she was arrogant, and her eyes gradually became much colder. She could continue to be smug now, but she would not be able to be so arrogant soon.

She quietly approached the kitchen, and when she saw Li Zhicheng's figure, her heart was filled with insane jealousy. She had lived with her cousin for almost two years, and he had never even made her a bowl of instant noodles, yet he was here busy taking care of Shen Menghan.

Li Zhicheng suddenly looked up and saw Li Meili standing at the door. He frowned and said with great displeasure, "I said that no one is allowed to enter my house without my permission. Are you blind or deaf?"

“Cousin, I didn’t see you during the day, and your grandma was chatting with you at night, so I came over so late. Here’s the thing, Auntie wants you to come back for dinner tomorrow night. She said she wants to celebrate for you and your wife.”

“Really? Didn’t she say she would never accept Xiaohan? Go back and tell her I’m busy, I have a date with Xiaohan. We’ll eat out, or even if we eat at home, we’ll have our own private time. She doesn’t need to worry about us.” Li Zhicheng showed no mercy.

His voice was loud enough for Shen Menghan to hear, which made her even more suspicious that there might be some deep-seated hatred between the mother and son. Otherwise, why would he hold a grudge against Lu Fen? His attitude was completely unlike that of a son.

“Cousin, your aunt is very sincere in wanting to have a good talk with you. After all, she is your mother. You shouldn’t hate her like she’s an enemy.”

"It's none of your business how I conduct myself. Get out." Li Zhicheng's face turned cold, and he snapped impatiently.

"Cousin, listen to me, Auntie, she..."

"Are you going to leave or not? I'll call security to kick you out of the Li family." Li Zhicheng took out his phone and prepared to dial.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Seeing that he was serious, Li Meili had no choice but to slink away.

Before Shen Menghan could figure out where Li Zhicheng's sudden anger came from, she saw him bring out the food.

"Xiaohan, come and eat."

She couldn't care about anything else; her health was important, and she couldn't go hungry.

She sat down, and Li Zhicheng had already served her soup.

The aroma of chicken soup filled the air, and on the table were fish, beef, water spinach, and a cup of soy milk.

"You made all of this?" She was shocked. Mr. Li could actually cook?

Li Zhicheng shook his head. He knew how to do it, but it wasn't him. He had worked all day and got back at six o'clock. After resting for a while, it was already past seven.

If he has to work and cook, where would he find the time to steal a moment of leisure?

"I knew it wasn't you. How could a rich kid like you know how to cook?" Shen Menghan said, pouting. These days, so many people can't even cook noodles properly, so of course a rich kid like him wouldn't know how either.

Li Zhicheng glanced at her sideways, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "If I made this for you every day, would you be willing to eat it for the rest of your life?"

"What?" Shen Menghan didn't hear clearly and thought she was hallucinating.

"It's nothing, you go ahead and eat."

Li Zhicheng shook his head helplessly. Was she pretending to be stupid or did she really not hear him? He would slowly test her, tease her little by little, delve into her heart, and make her fall irrevocably in love with him.

Shen Menghan recalled his words and finally understood. Her face flushed, but she continued to drink the soup calmly, pretending to be irritated by the steam.

After Li Meili returned to the house she shared with Lu Fen Nian, her eyes were red with anger.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Lu Fen asked her what was wrong, and she recounted her entire trip.

Lu Fen sensed the seriousness of the situation; Shen Menghan was quite capable and could command Zhicheng.

She couldn't swallow this insult, so she grabbed Li Meili and headed over. She wanted to have a serious talk with her son and couldn't let him continue his nonsense.

"Aunt, you go by yourself. I was just kicked out, and if I go back, my cousin will hate me to death." Li Meili broke free from Lu Fen's hand; she didn't want to go and make a fool of herself in front of Shen Menghan.

“Okay, you wait, your aunt will get revenge for you.” Lu Fen seemed very confident, feeling that she would definitely persuade her son.

Lu Fen quickly arrived at their door. From the outside, through the French windows, she saw the two of them having a meal at the dining table. They were sitting facing each other, a very warm scene. But in her eyes, it was Shen Menghan shamelessly seducing her son.

She walked inside with heavy steps.

Li Zhicheng's eyes were only on Shen Menghan eating. She seemed a little clumsy, and her hand holding the chopsticks even seemed to tremble slightly. He tried to remind her several times.

Shen Menghan wanted to tell him to get lost. How could he stare at someone while they ate like that? Several times, she felt embarrassed by his gaze and almost choked while chewing.

"Zhicheng, you're still awake? Come here, Mom has something to talk to you about." Lu Fen's voice was very calm, showing no sign of anything unusual, a stark contrast to her inner state.

"I don't have time." Li Zhicheng refused without thinking. He didn't want to waste his time on his mother. She was a complete madwoman. Sitting there and being talked to by her was like asking for trouble.

When he was little, he was ignorant and she nagged him every day. But as soon as he became aware of things, he escaped her clutches.
