Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to your Alipay account, right? You take care of things first, and then tell me what happened. If it's inconvenient to say, then don't say it for now. But please don't feel bad about it. If you need my help, just ask."

Shen Menghan's voice was very gentle. She would cherish her only best friend. Linglong seemed carefree on the surface, but she was very sensible in her actions, and she trusted her.

"Xiaohan, thank you, I know..." Qin Fengjiao choked up. She must have saved the galaxy in her past life, otherwise, where would she have found a good friend like Shen Menghan who is so devoted to her?

"Okay, I'll get back to work now."

She didn't go to work yesterday, and today is Tuesday, so there's a lot of work waiting for her to handle.

Fortunately, when she arrived at work today, Li Zhicheng had his men clear out the media guarding the entrance; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get to the company unharmed.

In the midst of her busy schedule, she first took the time to transfer the money to Qin Fengjiao. Looking at the remaining balance in the message notification, she gave a bitter smile. She had worked for several years and had saved less than six figures. She had always been frugal, just so she could buy a house in Xicheng and bring her mother and grandmother to live with her.

Time flies, I haven't saved any money, but housing prices are skyrocketing. I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford a bathroom.

If Li Zhicheng really entrusts the company to her, she should work hard, improve the performance, and then bring up the issue of salary with him. She only wants what she deserves and doesn't want a penny more!

Qin Fengjiao received the money and transferred it out with trembling hands.

Then, I blacklisted that number!

Even knowing that the other party would still send her messages from different numbers every time she blocked them, at least she had a moment of peace.

Xiaohan, thank you. You are the most important person in my life. No matter what happens in the future, I will never betray you!

Qin Fengjiao sent a message saying that Xiaohan had helped her, and she couldn't remain indifferent.

Shen Menghan received the message, smiled, and did not reply. Linglong and she were as close as sisters, so why should she be so polite to her?

Ding-dong! The phone rang again.

It was her mother? She thought there wouldn't be any surprises after yesterday, but she was too careless.

"Xiaohan, didn't you promise me you wouldn't be with that guy surnamed Li? Tell me what's going on!"

"Mom, let me explain. Here's what happened. We were attending an event and the media took some photos of us. They wrote the wrong things. It was Linglong who was hosting the show."

Shen Menghan anxiously explained that if her mother misunderstood, she would feel as if she had been sentenced to criminal punishment.

"Really? Someone sent me photos of the two of you together. Are you living with him?" Shen Feng's voice was incredibly sharp, completely different from her usual gentle demeanor.

"Mom, who's so bored as to send you these photos?" Shen Menghan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be some unscrupulous media outlet?

"Just tell your mother whether you're with him or not!" Shen Feng only wanted one answer from her; she knew what to do next.

"Mom, no."

Shen Menghan thought she should first calm her mother down and deal with the rest later.

"Xiaohan, you've always been a good child. If Mom finds out you lied to her, I'll never forgive you!" Shen Feng said earnestly. Xiaohan is her only daughter, and she has done everything in her power to raise her and give her the best she could.

If she refuses to listen to me, I will abandon my elderly mother and go to the west city to drag her back!

"Mom, I won't let you down." Shen Menghan's heart ached terribly. To put her mother's mind at ease, she had to leave Li Zhicheng. But why did the thought of leaving him make her heart ache so much?

"Okay, Mom believes you."

After Shen Feng finished speaking, she hung up the phone. No matter how eloquently the people around her told her, she wouldn't believe them; she only believed her daughter's words.

With an incredibly heavy heart, Shen Menghan was in no condition to work calmly; she was completely absorbed in the conversation she had just had.

Li Zhicheng is not wrong; it is his surname that is wrong!

The longer she was with him, the more she became infatuated. Thinking of how good he was to her and how he cherished her, even her hardened heart gradually began to change.

A man who truly loves her and cherishes her like a treasure—would she give up on him simply because of his surname, refusing to give each other a chance?

With her mind in turmoil, she stood up and walked to the French windows. Looking at the crowds hurrying by below, she reached up and touched her forehead, trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Just as she was getting so frustrated that she wanted to kill someone, Li Zhicheng called her.

"Xiaohan, let's have lunch together."

"I'm busy." He refused without even thinking.

"Then, I'll order food for you and have it delivered." Li Zhicheng settled for second best; as long as he could find a way to remain entangled with her, he would be happy to forget everything else.

"Li Zhicheng, stop pretending all the time. I'm tired of it even if you don't! Please stay away from me from now on and don't show your face in front of me again!"

She started cursing without any rhyme or reason. No one could understand the grievances in her heart. He was showing off his goodness, but did he ever think about the torment she was going through?

"Xiaohan, what happened?" Li Zhicheng immediately guessed that something had happened to her. The two of them were fine before he left in the morning, but who knew that she would turn her back on him as soon as he turned around.

"What could it be? If you stop being so shameless in your fawning, I won't be so annoyed!" she said, though she didn't mean it. In truth, having someone care about you all the time and pay attention to your every move would naturally bring a different kind of joy, but unfortunately, she was not fortunate enough to enjoy this honor.

She had her own concerns; she also had to guard against her mother finding out, and she was even more worried about falling hopelessly into his arms.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Just when she thought he had hung up, she heard him suddenly say, "Xiaohan, I love you. No matter what, I will always love you. You can hit or scold me as you please, just don't hurt yourself."

Even if Shen Menghan's heart was as strong as a fortress, it was healed by his deep voice. This man knew how to flirt, and she seemed to have begun to accept his sweet words, no longer as resistant as she had been at the beginning.

"Li Zhicheng, are you even a man?" she taunted, trying to provoke him back; she was about to be overwhelmed by his attack.

"I am your man, without a doubt. If you have any doubts, I will appear before you anytime so you can verify it for yourself." Li Zhicheng said this without batting an eye, sharing his heartfelt thoughts with her. He found that he was happier every day afterward!
