Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Is I my father?" Shen Menghan asked incredulously. If he really was her father, why didn't he turn around and look at her?

"Yes, Daddy loves you..."

"Heh, you love me? If you love me, why have you kept me and Mom from seeing you? Don't try to deceive me with your so-called love. Do you think I'm a three-year-old? What's your name?" Shen Menghan said, casually stepping forward to turn him around, completely forgetting that she was in a dream and was indeed just a three-year-old child!

"I......"

"Don't make excuses for yourself. Making excuses is just to cover up your scumbag nature!" Shen Menghan continued her accusations. She had never cared for her since she was a child, and now that she was grown up, she wanted to come and claim kinship. Where could she find such an easy father?

"Xiaohan, I..."

Shen Menghan waved her hands, not wanting to hear him continue, but as soon as she moved, all the hallucinations vanished!

Was that a dream? Yet it felt so real!

But she knew perfectly well that it was just a fleeting illusion!

Father? He was someone unreachable; she never wanted to have anything to do with him again in her life. If she had longed for a father to protect her when she was bullied as a child, now that she was grown up, she no longer needed to depend on anyone to live a good life.

After finishing his work, Li Zhicheng realized he had neglected Shen Menghan. He put down his phone, walked out onto the balcony, and circled the balcony, taking in almost the entire view of the courtyard. Seeing Shen Menghan sitting on the swing in a daze, he couldn't help but blame himself. He had brought her here not to let her enjoy solitude.

Shen Menghan slowly stood up and walked into the sea of ​​flowers, basking in the sunlight, trying to clear her mind.

"Xiaohan, come on, I'll take you to see something." Li Zhicheng called out to her from afar. She turned around, but only glanced at him lazily and didn't move.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Li Zhicheng strolled towards her.

She stared intently at him, her mother's words echoing in her ears. Her heart began to struggle wildly again, torn between the conflicting desires of letting go of her prejudices and getting along well with Li Zhicheng, and the need to obey her mother's advice not to be with anyone surnamed Li.

Li Zhicheng quickly walked up to her, his deep eyes fixed on her. Seeing the conflicted look on her face, he thought she was really angry, so he said, "Xiaohan, I was working just now. Now I'll take you out to play."

"Play?" Shen Menghan murmured.

"Okay, let's go." Li Zhicheng grabbed her hand and pulled her forward without saying another word.

"Let me go, I want to go home." Shen Menghan didn't want to be entangled with him anymore. She began to resist. Being with him always made her feel guilty towards her mother. Although she could sometimes convince herself, she was unwilling to continue like this, torturing herself and framing others. Since it was just a contractual relationship, why should she get so close to him?

"Xiaohan, what's wrong?" Li Zhicheng sensed that something was wrong with her, so he stopped and stared at her intently. Her complexion was not good.

"Go back, I don't want to stay here any longer."

Her mood instantly plummeted, as if she had turned on someone, completely different from before.

"Give me ten minutes, and I'll show you something you'll definitely like!" Seeing her even more dejected, Li Zhicheng wanted to lend her a hand.

Shen Menghan pouted. Ten minutes. She wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeve.

He pulled her along as they ran, the sea breeze whipping past them, ruffling their clothes and hair. The birdsong and fragrant flowers filled the air, but she paid no heed to them. Instead, his large hand held hers tightly, a warm sensation spreading throughout her body. Her eyes began to dazzle, and when she opened them, she saw several incredibly beautiful peacocks! And swans!

What, what's going on? Shen Menghan was stunned. She never expected that he would have people raise them here!

Peacocks spread their tails, swans take flight; as if by prior arrangement, upon seeing them, they all begin their superb performances!

"Li Zhicheng, it's illegal for you to keep peacocks without permission," Shen Menghan said, both surprised and reminding him to avoid being reported and punished later.

"Don't worry, it's been approved by the department, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do it."

Li Zhicheng was pleased to see that she cared about him.

"Can I go over and play with them?" She saw how cute they were and wanted to get closer to them and play with them.

“No, without a zookeeper, you could easily get hurt if you get close to them. Let’s just look at them like this.” Li Zhicheng shook his head, always thinking about her safety.

"You hired a special zookeeper?" Shen Menghan felt like she almost didn't recognize him anymore. How much effort had he put into this seaside villa?

“Yes,” Li Paocheng answered readily.

"They are so beautiful!"

Shen Menghan focused her attention on the peacock, temporarily setting aside the internal struggle she had just been engaged in.

He would do anything for her as long as she wanted!

Li Zhicheng would not tell her that he kept these animals because he learned by chance that she liked them.

They watched it together for half an hour before going home together.

As soon as they got back, they saw Xu Jingjing waiting at their door again. This time, she wasn't standing; she had moved a chair and was sitting there waiting. Li Jing was standing next to her, looking down and talking to her.

Shen Menghan glanced at Li Zhicheng. She didn't know much about Li Jing, but she knew Xu Jingjing better than anyone. Xu Jingjing would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If Li Jing were to be used by her...

Li Zhicheng looked at her reassuringly, signaling her to calm down.

When Li Jing saw them return, he said with a serious expression, "Zhicheng, how could you treat the patient like this? Jingjing suffered a severe head injury, and there is a blood clot inside. If it cannot be cleared, her life will be in danger."

"You believe what she says?" Li Zhicheng asked dismissively.

“I took her to the hospital and got the report myself, so it can’t be fake. You should stop making her angry, otherwise she might have a brain hemorrhage due to excessive anger, and you won’t be able to escape responsibility.” Li Jing thought he was very righteous.

"My responsibility? Did I force her to bang her head against the wall? I told her to die, why didn't she just die instead of lingering on? Xu Jingjing, you know I can't forgive you, yet you keep pressuring me. Do you think everyone can be fooled by your sweet talk? Do you think I'm still as stupid as before, being manipulated by you?"

Shen Menghan stepped forward, staring intently at Xu Jingjing. She was furious that Xu Jingjing was being made to bear the responsibility even though she was about to die. She was clearly unhappy that Xu Jingjing had said those words to Li Jingjing.

"I didn't say those things. Dr. Li was just too worried about my injuries, so he said them. Menghan, please don't be angry with me, okay? I only have one wish now, which is that you all stop being angry with me and that our family can be happy together. Please let me spend the rest of my days like this."

As Xu Jingjing finished speaking, she began to sob softly, as if her soul had been ripped out. She felt that if she didn't seize this opportunity to exploit Shen Menghan's weakness, she wouldn't be able to get what she wanted in a short time.

Once she sets her sights on a target, she will pursue it relentlessly and with great eagerness. Dawdling is not her style. Just like Li Guowei, she won him over in just a few days!
