Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 62: Happy Enemies

Seeing her nervous and embarrassed expression, Li Zhicheng gently comforted her, "Xiaohan, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. No one can bully you."

"Tell me, how could they just crash into me like that? Don't they feel any pain? Or are they testing me?" Shen Menghan murmured. Xu Jingjing had shocked her a lot, but even Li Guowei said he could crash into a wall!

"They're just putting on an act, don't take it to heart." Li Zhicheng saw through everything, but Xiaohan was still a rather naive girl. He thought how wonderful it would be if she could always keep this innocence.

But he couldn't help but think about the other side: what if she remained unchanged and was deceived and taken advantage of, and he wasn't by her side?

"Hmm, let me think about it." Shen Menghan was still lost in her own thoughts. Xu Jingjing was already hurt, so logically she should let go of her resentment.

Ugh.

"Sir, Miss, dinner is ready." Aunt Li called from the kitchen. She peeked out, and when her gaze fell on Shen Menghan, she still felt that this woman had no compassion.

Li Zhicheng helped her up, wanting her to calm down. What would happen if she continued to be so dejected?

"Xiaohan, it's Xu Jingjing and the others' fault. Please don't blame yourself anymore, okay? Seeing you like this makes me feel so bad too." Li Zhicheng's voice was gentle, wanting her to feel all the strength he was giving her.

Shen Menghan nodded, encouraging herself: "Yes, it's their fault, what does it have to do with me! They're dead, so be it, I don't need to shed a single tear for them."

Hearing these words, Li Sao felt a chill run down her spine. She realized that she would have to be extremely careful if she continued to work in this household, lest she be harmed by this woman.

"Eat more. You've had a long day. Get some rest early. If you still feel unwell, you don't have to go to work tomorrow." Li Zhicheng was focused on her. Seeing that she had no appetite while holding her chopsticks, he began another round of comforting her.

"Okay, you should eat more too. You must be tired from driving." Shen Menghan forced a smile at him, but it looked worse than crying.

"Xiaohan, if you don't want to see Xu Jingjing and the others, I can kick them out, or we can move somewhere else to live."

He would risk everything just to please her.

"I just took over, how can I be so casual? I'll come over. I'll take a nap for a while, and then you can explain the personnel management experience to me, okay?" She thought that only by throwing herself into her work could she forget about Xu Jingjing more quickly.

Li Zhicheng nodded, telling her not to rush things. If she wanted to get into the zone faster, she first needed to focus her mind.

She agreed with him and hoped she could recover more quickly.

She was thinking of calling Linglong while she was asleep to ask how things were going, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep and got tired.

Qin Fengjiao hosted the event until 9 p.m., and after most of the day, she was exhausted.

After it ended, everyone was leaving. She searched for Li Jun in the crowd but couldn't find him. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. She had thought she would have someone to keep her company. She had been too vain.

"Ms. Qin, do you have a car to go home? If not, I can give you a ride?" Just as she was feeling anxious, a handsome man walked up to her. She glanced at him and realized that he was Lu Ming'an, who had just co-hosted the event with her.

"Mr. Lu, thank you. I'll call a car." She wasn't used to traveling with strangers. Although Lu Ming'an looked handsome and sunny, she still wanted to keep her distance. In the entertainment industry, the most taboo thing is to have a scandal. Some people would use the opportunity to rise to fame and make themselves popular. She was different. Despite her delinquent-like appearance, she saw through those issues and remained very self-disciplined.

"Okay, then you can wait patiently. It was a pleasure working together today. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Lu Ming'an extended his hand to her, a bright smile on his face.

Qin Fengjiao generously returned the handshake. Knowing more people is a good thing, but letting them into one's life is another matter entirely.

Lu Ming'an didn't bother her and walked away gracefully.

Watching his car whiz by, Qin Fengjiao took out her phone and called a car.

Just as she got out of the car, a Buick stopped in front of her. When the driver rolled down the window, she was stunned. Wasn't that Li Jun?

"Get in the car, I'll take you home." Li Jun didn't say much, but he was a man of action.

"I thought you left, uncle. Did you just go to get your car? You didn't even tell me first." Qin Fengjiao complained, but she got into his car without any politeness.

"Uncle? She really dares to call me that!" Li Jun pursed his lips but didn't refute.

"I just called a car, but I quickly canceled it. You don't know, Lu Ming'an wanted to take me home. If I had gotten in his car, you would have missed out. Next time, could you at least let others know before doing something?" Qin Fengjiao's little mouth chattered on and on, as if she had endless things to say.

"If you're not going to shut up, get out of the car." Li Jun couldn't stand her chattering. He was giving her a free ride, and she kept complaining. He wasn't her private driver.

"Why are you like this? You can't even stand me when I say a few words to you? I don't care, you have to take me home. If you don't take me home, I'll stay in your car." Qin Fengjiao didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just kept arguing with Li Jun.

"Who does she think she is? I have nothing to do with you, and I don't need your nagging." Li Jun retorted. His parents don't even care about him, so who does she think she is?

"Who's nagging you? It's just that you don't follow any routine."

"You still say it!"

Although Qin Fengjiao was dissatisfied with his attitude, she didn't say anything more, afraid that this thin-skinned man would really kick her out of the car.

Taking advantage of a break in the car, she dialed Shen Menghan's number, wanting to have a good talk with her.

She dialed twice but no one answered. Undeterred, she dialed again and this time the call was answered as soon as it rang.

"Who is it?" Li Zhicheng's deep voice came through the microphone.

"Are you Mr. Li? Are you with Meng Han? Where is she?" Qin Fengjiao felt strange; Meng Han wouldn't ignore her calls.

“She’s asleep.” After saying that, Li Zhicheng glanced at the display on his phone. Linglong? It took him a while to realize that it was Qin Fengjiao.

"Why is she asleep so early?" Qin Fengjiao found it strange; she couldn't possibly be asleep that early.

"She's tired. Call her again tomorrow if you need anything." After saying that, Li Zhicheng cut off the signal without caring about Qin Fengjiao's situation. He simply turned off her phone so that it wouldn't wake her up if it rang.

Qin Fengjiao stared at her phone and asked Li Jun, "Are your CEO and our Xiaohan really living together?"
