Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"You're a liar."

She made a silent accusation.

Li Zhicheng shrugged, not arguing. He said she could do whatever she wanted, as long as she wasn't angry.

Shen Menghan sat back down on the sofa, her mind in turmoil. This matter had indeed caused her a lot of trouble. She thought she could ignore it and deal with it coldly, just like Li Zhicheng had said, but she couldn't. She was a sensitive person, and the gossip from those people brought her enormous pressure.

Her phone rang again; it was her mother.

She turned pale with fright, her fingers trembling as she pressed the answer button, wondering what her mother meant by calling.

"Xiaohan, your grandma wasn't feeling well last night, but I got a doctor to come to our house to give her an IV drip, and she's feeling better today."

"Mom, I told you to bring Grandma out for treatment, but you wouldn't listen. If Grandma suffers from long-term effects due to delayed treatment, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, won't you?"

Shen Menghan said earnestly, "Mom is so reasonable, how come she can't understand this?"

"Let me discuss it with your grandmother again," Shen Feng said, and was about to hang up. Shen Menghan didn't dare to continue the conversation, afraid that something else might happen.

"Xiaohan, Mom forgot something. How are things between you and Li Zhicheng now?"

"Mom, we're just ordinary friends. No, I plan to gradually distance myself from him. We're no longer friends." Shen Menghan almost let slip the secret, so she quickly added.

"You must remember my words, you are not allowed to associate with anyone surnamed Li, otherwise your mother will not be at ease with you," Shen Feng instructed again.

"Mom, I understand. You take care of Grandma now, I have to go to work."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Menghan breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.

But when she thought about her grandmother's condition, her mood became even heavier. Her grandmother's illness could not be delayed. How could she not go to a big hospital for a check-up?

If her grandmother came out and lived at home, she wouldn't be able to continue living in the Li family, which would also give her an excuse to leave Li Zhicheng.

After much deliberation, she got stuck in a rut again, all because she wanted to escape from Li Zhicheng's side.

Before they knew it, Li Zhicheng had already prepared the meal, and a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

"Xiaohan, come eat." Li Zhicheng called softly. There were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was strange. She felt that it was quiet, but the TV was playing a program.

"Okay." She slowly stood up, stretched her limbs, smelled the aroma of the dishes, and immediately walked to the dining table.

Li Zhicheng had already served the two of them rice, and there was even a glass of milk on the side.

Lunch with milk? She was dumbfounded. Would Li Zhicheng do something so stupid?

"The milk is just for the occasion; there's no time to make soup. If you want soup, I'll go pick some vegetables and make vegetable soup," Li Zhicheng said with a smile. He could always see through her thoughts at a glance, making her feel very embarrassed.

"No, let's have some fruit later."

"There's no fruit." He doesn't come over often, and there aren't many edible vegetables in the refrigerator, except for eggs and dried seafood.

"Surely you can have plain water?"

"There is juice."

"!"

Didn't he just say that juice and soda are both fine?

She sat down and glanced at the eggplant, water spinach, and fried eggs with chives.

The hollow vegetables were dry-fried, and the eggplant was stir-fried; these were all dishes she usually liked to eat.

She tried the eggplant first. It looked a bit dark, but it tasted pretty good. She was surprised that he could actually cook, and it was at least several times better than what she could make.

She tasted the egg again, and it tasted just right!

Li Zhicheng kept his eyes fixed on her, watching her tightly furrowed brows. His heart pounded. He was confident in his cooking skills, but he didn't know if it would suit her taste.

Everyone who cooks wants others to feel happy and joyful when they eat their food, but Shen Menghan didn't say a single kind word to him. Even after the meal was over, she kept her mouth tightly shut.

Li Zhicheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked cautiously, "Xiaohan, do you like to eat this?"

"Hmm, I don't really like it." Shen Menghan deliberately teased him.

"why?"

"I don't like it because you're the one who cooked it."

"I...I'm the one who ruined the vegetables." Li Zhicheng was both amused and exasperated. Could she find an even more hurtful excuse?

"Of course, you're the culprit who harmed the seedlings, so don't cook in front of me anymore." Shen Menghan said this with great seriousness, just to put him down.

It's because his cooking is better than hers!

"I'll only cook for you." Li Zhicheng gave a bitter smile. He was usually so busy with work that he didn't have time to cook for others.

If it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't have even stepped near the vegetable garden. He usually had the housekeeper tend to it, just so he could use it someday.

"But I don't like it."

You'll like it eventually.

He looked resolute, as if once he made up his mind, he wouldn't allow anyone to change it.

Shen Menghan pursed her lips, deciding not to continue the discussion.

"I'll pour you a glass of juice." After saying that, Li Zhicheng stood up and went to the refrigerator to get the juice.

"Li Zhicheng, are you this enthusiastic towards all women?" Shen Menghan blurted out, she just wanted to know.

"No one else receives such preferential treatment except you." He made it clear enough, hoping that Xiaohan could understand his good intentions.

"Pfft, you, the dignified president of the Li Group, if you really haven't had a girlfriend, no one would believe it. You probably have countless secret lovers, probably since your student days."

As Shen Menghan said this, a bittersweet feeling welled up inside her. She quickly shook off this inappropriate unease, not wanting to get caught up in it.

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can hire a private investigator to check it out." He was open and honest, with no secrets he wanted to hide.

"I have no money."

"I gave you a black card; you can spend the money in it however you like." Li Zhicheng remembered giving her the card, but she had never used it.

"You don't have to pay me back after using it?" Shen Menghan glared at him irritably; she didn't like owing favors to others.

What's mine is yours, why should I return it?

"But I don't care. I won't keep what doesn't truly belong to me."

"Xiaohan, I will always be yours."

"hehe."

Shen Menghan brushed it off, finished her juice in one gulp, and hurried outside. Staying with him any longer would only make her swoon with his sweet talk.

She didn't need that kind of sweet pampering; she was just an ordinary person and couldn't bear the intense love of a dignified CEO like him.

As Li Zhicheng watched her flee in disarray, a smug smile crept across his thin lips. He thought, "Xiao Han is about to give in! I'll make her relent!"

Shen Menghan walked on the beach, feeling the gentle sway of the sand, and it felt wonderful.

The sun shines on the beach now, and the golden sunlight is like a layer of gold on the beach. When you look up, you are dazzled by the bright sunlight.

"Xiaohan, let's go swimming!" Li Zhicheng shouted from afar. He seemed to be holding a swimsuit? And a swim ring? Did he know she couldn't swim?
