Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Yes, we will follow Miss Shen Menghan's instructions." Xiao Zhang spoke first. She didn't expect Li Zhicheng to come in person and regretted what she had just said.

The others echoed this sentiment, saying, "We are willing to follow Ms. Shen Menghan's leadership."

Shen Menghan finally saw it clearly: they had all changed their minds so quickly because of Li Zhicheng. Compared to her, he was a stranger, yet they were more willing to accept him.

These people are really lackeys. Although Li Zhicheng has acquired the company, he will probably appear at the company very rarely in the future.

Wait, what did he just say? She's the legal representative of the company, and she's also the person in charge?

She did more than just take over.

But she couldn't immediately question him in front of everyone.

She stared at him, a defiant look on her face, and said, "Mr. Li, please say a few words of encouragement for us. Let's give him a round of applause."

Li Zhicheng accepted her challenge and slowly approached her. As he got closer, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Let's have lunch together later."

“I don’t like free lunches,” she replied softly.

"Then you treat me."

"No." She refused without even thinking. She had made a promise with Linglong beforehand, so she couldn't care less about his stomach.

He merely glanced at her with a cryptic look, saying nothing more, and when he turned to face his employees, his expression turned indifferent.

"The company will not treat capable people unfairly, and those who are not capable should not give up on themselves. As long as you work hard enough, Li's will definitely give you a bright future."

"Thank you, Mr. Li. Everyone heard that, right? If you have any questions, you can ask him now." Shen Menghan glanced at him from the side. He had a very strong presence, and standing in front of her, he was like a king, intimidating everyone around him.

Many people chickened out and dared not say anything in front of Li Zhicheng, and immediately fell silent.

"Alright, nothing else, meeting adjourned." Shen Menghan saw that it was almost time, and she needed to hurry back to have lunch with Linglong.

After Wu Yan and the others had mostly dispersed, she walked up to Shen Menghan, head bowed, looking as if she had done something wrong, and said with great remorse, "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry, I... I was too impulsive."

"Call me President Shen." Li Zhicheng's sharp gaze swept across the other person like a knife.

Wu Yan trembled with fear and quickly changed her words: "Please forgive me, Mr. Shen."

"Aren't you going to the Labor Bureau? Go ahead, I won't stop you." Shen Menghan said decisively. If she continued to indulge her, her work ability would not improve, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"I......"

"President Li, I have urgent business to attend to and need to leave early. Do you have any objections?" Shen Menghan stopped looking at her and prepared to leave. As for work-related matters, she could only deal with them when she returned in the afternoon or wait until tomorrow.

"Want to have lunch with me?" Li Zhicheng looked at her leisurely. So she was just saying one thing and meaning another, and couldn't wait to go out with him.

"Pah, I need to go home. I'm leaving now. You can go ahead."

Shen Menghan lowered her voice and turned to leave as she passed him.

Wu Yan noticed that the two of them seemed quite close, and her eyes were filled with jealousy. However, she didn't dare to act recklessly at this moment, fearing that she would really be kicked out. She thought that since Shen Menghan wanted to leave, she could ask President Li for help again. Perhaps he would forgive her because she was a beautiful woman.

"I send you."

"Need not."

She glared at him. They weren't at the Li family's house now, so there was no need for her to put on a show for him. She could do whatever she wanted.

Li Zhicheng, however, did not grant her wish. He followed her wherever she went, like a leech. When others saw this, they were all amazed and thought they were seeing things. The rumored cold and ruthless CEO Li, who was not interested in women, was actually spinning around with Shen Menghan.

Even the slow-witted Shen Menghan noticed the unusual gazes around her and suddenly shouted very loudly, "President Li, I've already said I'm busy right now. We can talk about work later."

Li Zhicheng squinted at her. She actually pulled this tactic. Was she trying to clear her name of the ambiguous relationship between him?

She grabbed her bag and fled, ignoring everyone else's stares; she needed to deal with Linglong first.

She had just stepped into the elevator when Li Zhicheng's tall figure swayed in as well.

Before she could speak, he suddenly covered her head, and she only felt a flock of crows flying past her.

"Xiaohan, we are a loving couple." His voice was soft, like a breeze brushing past her ear, and goosebumps instantly rose on her skin.

"This is an elevator!" she snapped back. He was really going too far, making demands on her regardless of the time or place.

“Then, we can be boyfriend and girlfriend now.” He looked at her with a sly smile, and she looked like a frightened little white rabbit, which was extremely endearing.

“We are strangers.” She looked up and stared at him, and when she saw his devilish expression, she felt like she was suffocating. There was no doubt that he was not only rich but also incredibly handsome, but he was not her type.

"The more handsome a man is, the less trustworthy he is," is a saying my mother once told me.

"We are the most familiar strangers. Let me take you back to our past."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned his head down, captured her lips, and gave her a light kiss.

Shen Menghan's heart suddenly raced, as if a million little deer were jumping around inside her. Her face turned bright red instantly, and by the time she came to her senses, Li Zhicheng had already pulled away.

"Xiaohan, you are so beautiful." He murmured softly. The more time he spent with her each day, the stronger his love became. She was strong-willed, but she was a kind and fragile girl at heart.

"Li Zhicheng, you, you've gone too far." She raised her hand as if to slap him, but his charming smile was right in front of her, and she stood there helplessly, not moving again.

"Where did I go too far, uh?" His smile seemed to have a magical power, growing ever wider and more irresistible.

She swallowed hard. Sure enough, everyone is drawn to beautiful things, and she was no exception. This shameless man was using his good looks to seduce her, and her heart was slowly sinking into it. Wave after wave of throbbing and trembling washed over her, and she couldn't resist.

"If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'll report you for harassment." After a long while, she finally managed to utter a sentence, but the elevator had already reached the first floor.

She rushed outside, not wanting to go out with him and cause a misunderstanding.

Li Zhicheng followed closely behind her; no matter how fast she walked, she couldn't shake off his pursuit.

After getting into the car, she immediately stepped on the gas and drove off, thinking that she couldn't shake him off now, so she would take a few more detours to see how he would chase after her.

She forgot one thing: her driving skills were far inferior to Li Zhicheng's. The more anxious she became, the more mistakes she made. When she passed an oval overpass, her hands on the steering wheel became sweaty, and she almost crashed into the guardrail.

Still shaken, she finished crossing the overpass and was almost home when her car suddenly stalled!
