Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"A madman?" Upon hearing this, everyone else gasped. Regardless of who was right or wrong, Xu Jingjing was seriously injured and was the weaker party, yet he was actually siding with Shen Menghan.

"I'm fine." Shen Menghan wrapped her arms around him, feeling that his chest was a safe haven, and she felt especially safe leaning against it.

She even secretly thought that if her future man could pamper her like he did, she would have no regrets.

"Let's go home." Li Zhicheng didn't say another word about Xu Jingjing's matter, and helped Shen Menghan walk out.

Shen Menghan hummed in agreement and followed him outside.

Xu Jingjing whispered weakly, "Menghan, do you forgive me?"

Shen Menghan stopped in her tracks, not expecting Xu Jingjing to be so stubborn. What was she trying to force her to admit?

"Menghan, what exactly do you want us to do for you to forgive us? Do you want me to kill myself by banging my head against a wall too?" Li Guowei stepped forward to stop Shen Menghan, looking pained.

How awkward it is to see the woman he once loved become his aunt. Especially after a serious comparison with Xu Jingjing, he was surprised to find that he still secretly liked her.

"You! I forgive you, okay?"

After Shen Menghan finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes. Rather than continuing to argue, she chose to compromise. No matter what others said about her being a coward, she just wanted to follow her heart.

"No, Xiaohan, you can't forgive them. As long as you are my wife, Li Zhicheng's wife, you can't forgive them. Let's go home."

Li Zhicheng answered for her, then put his arm around her waist and walked quickly outside.

"Uncle, Menghan said she forgave you."

"She forgave me, but I didn't. You bullied my woman like that, do you really think I can just ignore it?" Li Zhicheng shouted. He was not an easy person to get along with, especially Li Guowei and his family. He felt awkward and out of place with them.

Shen Menghan was deeply moved. He was really helping her, and she was afraid she could never repay this kindness.

"Uncle..."

"Don't shout. I never intended to truly forgive you. Even if you were dead, I still wouldn't forgive you."

Shen Menghan suddenly turned around and said sternly to Li Guowei. If she didn't stand up for herself now, how could she live up to Li Zhicheng's care? She had to stand on the same side as him.

"Menghan".

Xu Jingjing and Li Guowei exclaimed in unison, they never expected this outcome! Wasn't the injury on her forehead all for nothing?

"Call me Auntie." Shen Menghan's gaze was sharp; if she continued to be polite to them, she would only appear more incompetent.

"Auntie."

Li Guowei's voice was very low, as if he couldn't find his tongue; only he himself could understand the pain in his heart.

"Auntie, can I come to your house to visit you in the future?" Xu Jingjing asked again, trying a different approach.

"I do not welcome you."

After saying this, Shen Menghan felt much more relaxed. She and the two of them could never go back to the past in this lifetime. Because of Xu Jingjing's relationship with Li Guowei, she couldn't convince herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

Looking back on her feelings for Li Guowei, she now finds them laughable. When she was moved by him and decided to be with him, she did start to like him. But to call it love might not be enough, otherwise why would she have dumped him without a second thought after they both betrayed her?

“Zhicheng, we are family, how could you do this?” Lu Fen finally spoke up. She was secretly pleased to see her son quarreling with Li Dahai and the others, but she had to put on a show.

"That's right, we're still family. Why don't you just let go of your little grudges? Zhicheng, I watched you grow up. You and Guowei don't need to throw everyone away for a woman." Huang Ju, relying on her status as an elder, also wanted to lecture people.

Li Zhicheng slowly turned around, glared at them, and said coldly, "We are a family, but a family that is estranged. I can only take care of my own family now. As for you, may you each find your own peace."

"Zhicheng, am I still your older brother?" Li Dahai roared. If he had remained silent, they would have all taken him for a pushover.

"So what if you're my older brother? We weren't born of the same mother, so don't try to sway me with your brotherly affection. I don't owe you anything."

Li Zhicheng spoke with barbs, telling no one to try to plead with him on their behalf. He knew exactly what they had done, and if they had been wholeheartedly concerned for the development of the Li family, he wouldn't be so angry.

He's clearly in the Li family's household, yet he's thinking of other schemes, even colluding with outsiders to swindle money from the Li family. Does he really think he's blind?

I didn't expose them, only out of consideration for family ties, to give them a chance.

"Zhicheng, you have absolutely no manners! How can you talk like that? Come on, let's go to your grandma's and let her reason with us."

Seeing that her son had made the situation even more tense, Lu Fen was adding fuel to the fire. In fact, Li Dahai knew that he would not get any benefits from going to his wife's place, and his wife would not help him.

But if he didn't go, he would lose even more face in the Li family after being confronted by Li Zhicheng.

"Go find Grandma yourselves if you want to do what you want. We're hungry, let's go home for dinner."

After saying this, Li Zhicheng stopped getting entangled with them and stepped out the door with Shen Menghan.

"Actually, you don't need to make a scene with your family like this. They are still your family." Shen Menghan said quietly, unaware of the truth, thinking that she would feel bad if he made such a scene because of her.

"They are only my relatives in name, Xiaohan. I'll tell you about the Li family's situation when you have time." Li Zhicheng said, looking helplessly at the sky. No matter how blue the sky was, it couldn't illuminate the gloom in his heart.

"Hmm, did you cook at home?" Shen Menghan was actually quite hungry.

"Sister Li had already made preparations before we came back. Let's go back and take a look now."

"it is good."

Shen Menghan was unusually docile, nestling in his arms and letting him hold her as they walked.

Li Zhicheng enjoyed the rare warmth, but his heart was churning with turmoil. Those people probably held a grudge against Xiaohan. He needed to spend more time with her and let her know that those people were secretly plotting against him.

Aunt Li had already cleaned the floor. Seeing them return, she quickly went back inside to cook, which would only take a few minutes.

Shen Menghan and Li Zhicheng sat down on the sofa. She poured two cups of tea, one for each of them.

She gripped the cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp, but her hands were still trembling unconsciously. She wasn't afraid, but she just couldn't control the fear that surged up from the soles of her feet.
