Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 68 Unpredictable Weather

Li Zhicheng was very careful when picking vegetables, only picking the ones that were growing vigorously and were tender.

He didn't want anything else, not even the stems that had been bitten by insects.

Seeing him like this, Shen Menghan frowned and made clicking sounds. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You have to pick all the old ones that you can, otherwise they will hinder the growth of other seedlings."

"I love picking these tender ones and stir-frying them for you," Li Zhicheng said without hesitation. He wanted to give the best of everything to his beloved girl.

"So the rest are wasted? You're condemning people to death without even giving them a chance, that's not right." Shen Menghan actually started arguing with him.

“Leave those to others; my queen must have the best.” Li Zhicheng said seriously; he was determined to do it this way.

"Who acknowledged me as your queen?" Shen Menghan rolled her eyes helplessly. This man always loved to be so self-righteous.

"If I say you are, then you are."

"Then why don't you say I'm the Queen of China?" Shen Menghan deliberately made things difficult for him, thinking that what he said was complete nonsense, and damn it, she was still talking nonsense with him.

"If you want to be the Queen of China, I can help you fulfill that dream!"

"Pah! Give me a break, you're just full of bragging. Hurry up and pick your vegetables!"

After Shen Menghan finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the beach. If she kept arguing with him, he wouldn't be able to cook for a while.

Li Zhicheng called out from behind her, "Xiao Han, be careful, pay attention to safety, and don't go too far."

"Row."

Shen Menghan has already walked away.

The beach was clean, without any trash or sharp stones. She took off her shoes and walked barefoot on it, enjoying the friction.

She had a moment of peace when her phone rang. It was strange today; the phone kept ringing, and it was an unknown number. Who could it be?

She answered the phone, and it was a media outlet?

She wouldn't give the other party any space to access her account, and immediately hung up.

Didn't Li Zhicheng say there wouldn't be any problems? Then she'll just let it cool off. If that doesn't work, she'll make a scene and demand an explanation from him.

Her WeChat rang again! This time it was from her colleague Xiao Zhang, with whom she had only a casual relationship. She actually asked her directly: Are you and President Li really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

She didn't reply. Why would someone who isn't very familiar with her reply to such a private question? Even if it were Linglong, she wouldn't tell her before things were settled.

There's only one problem now, and she needs Li Zhicheng to come up with a solution quickly. If any more media outlets call, she'll just hang up.

I lost all interest in walking on the beach, so I picked up my shoes and quickly headed back.

Li Zhicheng picked water spinach and eggplant and was walking back when he saw her running towards him in a hurry. He thought something had happened, so he stopped.

She stormed up to him, pointing at him with her free hand: "The media just called me. Didn't you say nothing would happen? Are you going to let them dox me?"

"So what if they dox me? You don't need to answer anything, let them guess." Li Zhicheng remained calm. There were many things he didn't need to let outsiders know; he knew their relationship best.

"I'm afraid my mom will find out." She was nervous, worried that her mother would call soon.

“You can tell her that the media is just making things up. Otherwise, didn’t you admit it to her when you went back yesterday? Your mother is a very reasonable woman, and I believe she won’t doubt your words.”

Li Zhicheng threw the question back at her. This kind of thing is the easiest to handle. Since they are so far apart, even if her mother knew, she would probably just be anxious and helpless.

"Me! Okay, I'll figure it out myself."

Shen Menghan thought for a moment and decided to wait for her mother to call. If her mother missed it because she didn't check her phone, that would be understandable.

"Xiaohan, don't worry, there's always a way out." Li Zhicheng winked at her playfully.

She pouted. He made all the decisions, and yet he actually had some sense of logic?

Li Zhicheng went into the kitchen to cook, while she sat on the sofa in the living room, picked up the remote and turned on the TV. To her surprise, the first thing she saw was news about her and Li Zhicheng. She immediately changed the channel, but it was still the same! Almost every channel, especially the entertainment ones, was reporting on her and Li Zhicheng. She never imagined it would cause such a sensation.

Li Zhicheng isn't in the entertainment industry, so how did he become so famous? Why are so many people sharing his news?

Although her head was blurred and not very clear, it was still clearly visible if you looked at it still.

She ran into the kitchen and saw Li Zhicheng washing rice and putting it in the pot. She held back her anger, but he was busy washing vegetables and didn't even have time to look at her.

A grown man, with rough hands and feet, was carefully selecting good vegetables. He wouldn't accept any with yellow leaves or that looked ugly. She thought he was a germaphobe, otherwise he wouldn't even accept vegetables with such minor flaws.

Unable to bear watching any longer, she picked up a kitchen knife and began peeling the eggplant, then soaked it in salt water.

Li Zhicheng said from the side, "Didn't you say you were going to make eggplant stew? How are you going to do it like this?"

"Just stir-fry it, no need to make eggplant stew. I have something to discuss with you." She held a knife in her hand and unconsciously raised it towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly backed away. Knives don't have eyes, and it wouldn't be good if he got hurt.

"Xiaohan, put the knife down first! You're trying to murder your husband!" Li Zhicheng was both amused and exasperated. She didn't realize she was going to do it, but he saw how dangerous it was.

"I just want to ask you, are you going to deal with our scandal or not?" she said, raising her hand as she did so, the knife immediately pointing at him.

He broke out in a cold sweat: "Xiaohan, talk this out slowly, put the knife down."

Shen Menghan looked up at the kitchen knife. "Is there something wrong with the knife?"

"The knife is fine."

"Then hurry up and answer my question!" Shen Menghan said, taking a step towards him, the knife about to touch his body.

Taking advantage of her inattention, he slipped his hand away and snatched the knife from her, still feeling lingering fear.

"Xiaohan, the kitchen knife is very sharp, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Li Zhicheng, I'm talking to you about serious matters. Stop trying to fool me with other things!" Shen Menghan was getting impatient. Couldn't he at least give her a straight answer?

“I will handle it. Let’s give it the cold shoulder. If things don’t calm down in a week, I’ll issue a statement. What do you think?” Li Zhicheng still maintained his original idea, letting the outside world speculate about their relationship.

"I worry."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Li Zhicheng reached out and put his arm around her waist, but she struggled and tried to pull away. "I can't trust you anymore."

"Why?" he asked, puzzled. Had he done something wrong?
