Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 7 Mustering Courage

Shen Menghan wouldn't allow it; men's words are the least trustworthy!

If he doesn't want to go to the study, then she can go!

Pushing away his grip, she rolled off the sofa, put on her slippers, and went to the bed. There was no bedspread, but she would make do with that and not sleep with him!

Li Zhicheng glanced at her retreating figure with a half-smile, teasing her was a very enjoyable thing! But he also knew he had to know when to stop and not be too hasty, otherwise if he really angered her and she left in a huff, it would be difficult to coax her back.

Shen Menghan lay flat, closed her eyes, and forced herself not to look in Li Zhicheng's direction, even though she couldn't fall asleep.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she finally fell asleep.

Li Zhicheng didn't turn off the lights, leaving the small lamp in the room on so that if she woke up in the middle of the night and needed to use the restroom, she could find her way.

The dramatic development, which also exceeded his own expectations, made him feel that it was very good. He had the girl he had always dreamed of, made her his woman, and could see her every day. Even if it was a dream, he would still smile with joy!

As dawn broke, the Li family mansion was quiet and peaceful, with no one making a fuss outside. He slept until eight o'clock before finally falling asleep!

When Shen Menghan opened her eyes, she saw the ceiling in front of her. Her mind went blank, as if it had been exploded!

She thought she was dreaming, but it turns out it was all real! So, that bastard Li Zhicheng didn't climb into bed, did he?

She quickly turned her head, only to find herself facing a pair of deep, dark eyes! He stood by the bed, calmly looking down at her, taking in her confused and flustered expression.

"Hi, good morning, Xiaohan, wake up!" Li Zhicheng's voice was gentle, like a very gentlemanly man, as he gazed at her intently.

She frowned, her voice tinged with displeasure, and said, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to scare people by standing here by the bed?"

Li Zhicheng didn't hold it against her. Being cursed first thing in the morning would make anyone feel uneasy, but he didn't seem to care. He believed that she would change her ways once she got used to it.

"Xiaohan, shall we go downstairs for breakfast together, and then I'll show you around?"

"No, I need to go back to work after breakfast."

"As Mrs. Li, you don't need to work right now. I'll support you."

"I'm very sorry, we only have a contractual relationship. I don't need you to support me, and I can't afford it. Please stop making trouble for me, Mr. Li."

Shen Menghan was very clear-headed. She was not someone to be manipulated. Even if she had signed an agreement with him, she would still do what she was supposed to do. She was currently working at a design company, and she liked her job and did not want to change it. Moreover, she had not returned home all night, and her mother was probably worried sick.

My mother lives in the countryside, not in Xicheng. She has a habit of calling the landline in our small apartment every night at 10 pm to check if I have come home to rest on time!

Last night, she spent so much time with Li Zhicheng, and after being completely captivated by him, she forgot...

“Okay, then we must go downstairs for breakfast together, and then I’ll take you to your company,” Li Zhicheng insisted.

"No need, I'll just take the subway." She didn't want any further contact with him. It was just an agreement anyway; she was using his identity to get through this ordeal, and once things calmed down, she could return to her original position!

"Xiaohan".

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it. If you keep nagging, I'm going home! If you want to come live with me, fine!" She looked at him defiantly. A big CEO like him must be used to being pampered and flattered all the time!

She didn't want to force herself to compromise; she just wanted to be herself!

He doesn't like it, so he should terminate the contract with her as soon as possible!

"Alright, whatever you say!" Li Zhicheng remained gentle, his gaze burning as he looked at her.

Seeing his strange look, Shen Menghan glanced at her chest and exclaimed, "Oh my god!" She quickly grabbed her collar! What kind of awful pajamas were these? It was like she wasn't wearing anything at all; the neckline was ripped open to... well, let's just say it was a bit embarrassing!

Her face flushed red with embarrassment. She avoided his gaze, hurriedly got out of bed, and rushed to the wardrobe!

No, she couldn't wear the clothes he bought her; her own outfit needed to dry! Just as she was about to walk to the balcony, she heard Li Zhicheng's voice behind her.

"Xiaohan, you are now Mrs. Li. You must always remember your identity. In addition to maintaining your personal image, you also need to consider my reputation and the reputation of the Li family."

He really didn't like her clothes; they were cheap, low-quality items from street vendors! But yesterday she was wearing a hotel staff uniform, a five-star hotel uniform, so the quality was quite good.

Compared to what he had ordered, that was reduced to the status of mud.

Shen Menghan pursed her lips, unconvinced!

"Don't you want to overwhelm Xu Jingjing with your presence first?" He looked at her with a leisurely disdain. If she didn't care, he felt there was no point in avenging her!

Shen Menghan's heart skipped a beat. He was right. What was the purpose of her signing this agreement with him? Wasn't it to severely punish Xu Jingjing and Li Guowei and get revenge?

She took the first step, but hesitated and stammered on the second. That's really not like her!

Okay, if that's the case, why does she still care so much?

Li Guowei and Xu Jing had just gotten married, and Li Zhicheng was their uncle. They were definitely going to have breakfast together, and according to custom, Xu Jingjing would also have to toast Li Zhicheng to make up for last night!

It's all for the sake of getting a big red envelope!

Last night he left with Shen Menghan, but they couldn't find him and got lost.

How could someone as calculating as Li Guowei let him escape this ceremony?

Li Zhicheng took Shen Menghan's small wrist and slowly walked down the stairs. This was his home, and according to custom, he had to go back to his mother's place to have breakfast together today.

Shen Menghan was extremely nervous. She thought she was well prepared, but at the crucial moment, she still couldn't control her pounding heart.

"You don't need to say anything, I'll handle it." Li Zhicheng gripped her wrist tightly, trying to reassure her.

Shen Menghan nodded; she would act according to the circumstances.

Lu Fen and Li Guowei's family were already sitting in the living room, just waiting for the two of them to arrive.

Lu Fen's face was extremely unpleasant. Yesterday's scandal involving the Li family had probably already spread throughout the entire West City!

Last night, Meili bumped her forehead and injured it. This morning, it was still bandaged. She sat next to her, crying and sobbing, unwilling to accept the fact that Li Zhicheng had married another woman!

"Aunt, I'm not reconciled. I love my cousin, and I want to marry him, um..." She thought that by playing the victim, she could win back her cousin's heart, but who knew that he wouldn't even look at her once. He then picked up that woman and went upstairs. She was furious!
