Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 29 An Unexpected Turn of Events
It was rush hour, and her stop of more than a few minutes caused a traffic jam behind her.
Damn it, why did it have to happen now of all times? Who can she call for emergency help? She's only a few minutes away from home; it's like the heavens are determined to destroy her.
She was caught in a dilemma, with the cars behind her honking incessantly and some even swearing.
She didn't want it to, but the car suddenly stalled, even though it was in the middle of the road.
Her phone rang at that moment. She looked at it and saw that it was Li Zhicheng. She pressed the green button and asked, quite annoyed, "What do you want?"
What's wrong with your car?
"This car is yours, how would I know what happened? You should know better than me." She retorted without batting an eye. If it weren't for his beat-up car, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
"Try it to see if it's out of gas?"
"How would I know where to look?" she said, sounding particularly aggrieved. She had just started driving and didn't know anything. If she were an experienced driver, she would definitely have taken matters into her own hands to find the root cause of the problem.
"Wait here, I'll take a look."
"Humph."
She scoffed dismissively, but she couldn't shake him off. He kept following her, and when she finally put away her phone, she looked up and saw him standing right in front of her.
"If you hadn't followed me, I wouldn't have been so nervous that the car wouldn't have broken down." She deliberately picked a fight, hoping to salvage some points for herself.
Li Zhicheng didn't argue with her. He opened the car door, went inside, and tried turning the starter a few times. Surprisingly, the car started again!
"What's going on?" Shen Menghan found it unbelievable; was this car deliberately trying to sabotage her?
"Get in the car, I'll take you home."
"I don't need you to take me, I'll drive myself." How could she let Linglong see him? If he talked nonsense with Linglong, her reputation would be ruined.
"Get in the car quickly, the cars behind are honking their horns. Do you want to be drowned in spittle?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Ok."
She reluctantly got into the car, but sat in the back.
"Send me the navigation."
It's actually very close, but it might take about half an hour to walk there.
Following her directions, Li Zhicheng quickly and smoothly arrived at the door of the small apartment she rented.
She immediately got out of the car and ran away as fast as she could, as if someone was chasing her.
Li Zhicheng shook his head and laughed. He knew she lived here. He had just asked her for permission, but it was just for show. After parking his carriage, he headed towards her house.
Qin Fengjiao had already prepared lunch. It was already one o'clock, and she was thinking that if Xiaohan didn't come back, she would have to call her repeatedly. If she stood her up again, she would rip her off while shopping tomorrow.
Shen Menghan took out her key and opened the door. The aroma that wafted out made her feel incredibly hungry. Linglong's cooking skills were impeccable; she had missed it terribly.
"My dear Miss Shen, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have put up a missing person ad in the newspaper. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Qin Fengjiao shouted at her as she heard the door open.
"Yeah, I'm starving."
"You know you're hungry, why didn't you come back sooner? Humph."
"...Oh dear, something came up on the way." She chuckled sheepishly. Actually, it was fortunate that Li Zhicheng was there, otherwise she really would have stood him up. Thinking of that man, she had just abandoned him and run away; she wondered how he would punish her later.
"What's wrong with you? You seem distracted." Qin Fengjiao stared at her, looking her up and down, and then said, "Your fake outfit is really pleasing to the eye. Oh, the material is just as comfortable as the real thing. Tell me where you found it, I want to buy a few sets to show off."
Shen Menghan panicked upon hearing this and quickly slipped into the kitchen to wash her hands, but Qin Fengjiao wasn't going to let her go and squeezed in after her.
"And this bag of yours, is it a fake too? Let me see, if it were real, it would cost at least 60,000 or 70,000. Tsk tsk tsk, you're really something, you actually managed to buy something that looks exactly like the real thing."
"Let's eat first."
Shen Menghan gave her a perfunctory answer and pushed her away.
"If you don't tell me the truth, see how I deal with you, hmph." Qin Fengjiao suddenly became fierce. Her sixth sense told her that Xiaohan was hiding many things from her.
Shen Menghan was both amused and exasperated. She needed to think carefully; Linglong was so shrewd, she had to come up with a better reason.
They sat down to eat when the doorbell rang.
Strange, no one knows she lives here. This must be a wrong doorbell. She didn't intend to pay attention to it and decided to eat a chicken leg first. She grabbed it with her hand and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that no one came to open the door, Li Zhicheng pressed the button again.
It wasn't until the third time that someone opened the door.
When the door opened, Shen Menghan was dumbfounded; she never expected him to come knocking on her door.
She had a chicken leg in her mouth, her lips smeared with oil, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated. She had been enjoying her meal, but after seeing him, the chicken leg in her mouth seemed to turn into poison, and she felt unbearably bitter.
"Xiaohan, who is it?" Qin Fengjiao called from inside the house.
Shen Menghan snapped out of her daze, quickly squeezed out of the door, and pushed Li Zhicheng toward the stairs.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Li Zhicheng smiled helplessly. Did she not want him to meet the people in the house? Was it her mother? The information showed that she lived alone, and he couldn't think of anyone else besides her mother.
"Why did you come up here? Get out of here, this is my house," she said indistinctly, her bright eyes glaring at him.
“I came to your house for dinner, how can I leave?” He said seriously, completely disregarding her threat, and grabbed her wrist before walking into the house.
Shen Menghan got anxious, took the chicken leg out of her mouth, and warned him, "If you dare to go in, I'll break off all ties with you."
"It's alright." He glanced at her indifferently, neither confirming nor denying her words.
"Xiaohan, why are you dawdling? Who is it?" Qin Fengjiao said as she walked towards the door.
Shen Menghan's apartment was not large to begin with, just one bedroom and one living room, totaling only about 30 square meters. Space was limited, and the living room and kitchen were visible as soon as the door was opened.
As Li Zhicheng pushed open the door, Qin Fengjiao saw the two people pulling and tugging at each other. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at them, especially when she saw Li Zhicheng's face. She felt like she couldn't breathe.
Calm, handsome, tall, and charming, this man is the most famous eligible bachelor in the West City!
Shen Menghan rolled her eyes upwards, sensing that it was all over.
Linglong is a hopeless romantic; she can't take her eyes off any man who is even slightly good-looking.
"You're President Li? My God, what's your relationship with Xiaohan?" Qin Fengjiao pointed at the two of them, speechless for a long time.
