Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 88 Refusal to Divorce

Li Lei was unaware that he had become the target of their scheme. If they knew that he was invulnerable, they would probably regret it terribly. He didn't even touch his own wife, let alone any other woman.

After dinner, Runqiong sat with the couple in the living room.

She stared at the two men with a stern gaze. She had known for a long time that their relationship was not good, and now that they were arguing about divorce in front of her, she wouldn't let them do anything reckless since she was still alive.

Li Lei sat there, letting her scrutinize him. His mother was truly old, yet he was still unwilling to behave himself; he was unfilial.

"Mom, I... I don't want to get a divorce. I won't get a divorce no matter what, unless I die." Lu Fen was unwavering; she wanted her to get a divorce unless she died.

She was unwilling to give up so easily; in what way was she inferior to that woman?

“We won’t leave.” Runqiong echoed, standing on the same side as Lu Fen on this point, which moved Lu Fen deeply. Thinking about all the suffering she had endured in the Li family, she was finally getting a response from the old woman, which made Lu Fen feel quite conflicted.

"Mom, I'm going back to rest. Do you want to come with me?" Li Lei avoided the main issue, not wanting to continue arguing with Lu Fen. His elderly mother wasn't feeling well, and it wouldn't be good to upset her.

“Li Lei, listen to me, as long as Mom is alive, you can forget about getting a divorce. Now that nearly thirty years have passed, what’s wrong with continuing this marriage?” Runqiong’s voice was stern, giving him no chance to argue.

Li Lei shook his head and stopped arguing. Anyway, she couldn't do anything to him once they were separated.

"Mom, let's go back first, so that Zhicheng and the others can get some rest as well." Lu Fen seemed very considerate.

“Auntie, we’re sitting here while they’re upstairs. It doesn’t bother us at all. If they really treated us like human beings, they wouldn’t have turned their backs and gone upstairs.” Li Meili suddenly lost her temper and began to act like a spoiled child, speaking without thinking.

Lu Fen stabbed at her, and she shut her foul mouth; now was not the time to talk.

She pursed her lips, unwilling but still not daring to challenge her aunt's bottom line.

Runqiong looked up at the stairs, nodded, and said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Menghan lay down and looked at her phone, occasionally scrolling through her WeChat Moments or reading the news.

Li Zhicheng said softly from the side, "Let your body dry before you sleep; it's good for your health."

"It's dry." Her body had already dried by the time she lingered in the bathroom.

"If your feet aren't completely dry, you're more prone to rheumatism."

"Li Zhicheng, aren't you annoying?" She glared at him angrily. Was he going to start a fight?

Li Zhicheng had also taken a shower and was drying his hair with a towel. He stood by the bed gazing at her. As she lay there, the outline of her figure was faintly visible through her pajamas, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"Want to go outside to the balcony and get some fresh air?" he invited, then tried to look away, but his eyes were fixed on her.

"No." She refused without thinking. She had been sitting outside for a while before taking a shower, and if she were to get any more wind, she would go crazy.

Li Zhicheng couldn't help but squat down to look her in the eye.

Shen Menghan was startled by his action and quickly sat up straight, staring at him warily. He was not a trustworthy person, and she had to be on guard against his wolfish outburst at any time.

"Xiaohan, how about we have a child first?" he said slowly after careful consideration.

"Do not."

She could never agree to such an absurd proposal.

How much money would you be willing to have children?

"Pah, Li Zhicheng, what do you take me for, Shen Menghan? Let me tell you, I'm willing to have a dozen children for the man I like. Someone like you, I feel disgusted even if you touch me."

Shen Menghan spoke without thinking, revealing the truth in her heart.

Oh no! Li Zhicheng looked very unwell. His face was taut, and his dark pupils were constricted. Then, despite her wariness, he still pounced on her like a tiger pouncing on a sheep, knocking her down onto the bed.

Her struggles and screams were useless; he was domineering and rude, quickly subduing her and taking advantage of her. After that, he still held her tightly, unwilling to let go.

She was like a puddle of water, unable to move anymore.

He was like a ferocious beast, irresistible to all.

"Li Zhicheng, you're despicable! I'm going to sue you!" she said indignantly, and at this moment, she could only rely on her verbal skills to save face.

"Yes, you can do whatever you want." Li Zhicheng said with utmost affection, his gaze burning as he stared at her lips. He had kissed them a little too much, leaving them slightly red and swollen. With a hint of apology, he gently nibbled at them.

Shen Menghan threw a knife at him, but he didn't care. In his eyes, all her actions seemed cute and completely harmless.

As night deepened, Shen Menghan fell asleep without realizing it.

Li Zhicheng held her, wide awake.

A voice in his ear reminded him that if he didn't investigate that matter quickly, it might one day strike his world like a slap on the head.

Now that his father is back, he can get the answer directly from him, but when he actually takes that step, he feels a strange sense of panic.

The next day, he had breakfast with Shen Menghan, and his grandmother and the others also came over. According to his grandmother, since the family rarely gets together, they should eat together.

While no one was looking, Li Zhicheng secretly put a hair of Li Lei into his pocket. After arriving at work, he handed a hair of his own to Li Jun.

"Test the results as quickly as possible."

"President, whose is this?" Li Jun asked, not wanting to be bothered.

"You want to be transferred to Europe?" Li Zhicheng looked at him coldly.

"No, no, no, I'll go out right away." Li Jun knew he was wrong. He always told himself that curiosity killed the cat, but he just couldn't suppress his desire.

While waiting for the results, Li Zhicheng had no heart to work, so he ordered his driver to take him to Shen Menghan's company.

His arrival was awe-inspiring.

Shen Menghan was in a marketing meeting when he came, which helped her a lot. She asked him to listen in on the proceedings and correct any mistakes he made, and also to offer his opinions.

The most important thing is still about the buy-one-get-one-free promotion they mentioned a few days ago.

With time running out, launching later than competitors would mean losing the initiative.

After Li Zhicheng joined, everyone was uneasy, always afraid of not doing a good job.

Xiao Yang analyzed his plan on the fluorescent board, emphasizing that the most important thing was to have more innovative designs that would catch people's eye. Otherwise, if he tried to attract people with old styles, he was afraid that old customers would not buy it.

Xiao Zhou was looking down, lost in thought, and not listening attentively.

Shen Menghan had already put a period to her thoughts; she was so lazy that she would only drag the company down.

She didn't name names directly. Everyone else was working diligently to overcome the challenges, while she was listlessly looking around. Who wouldn't have a problem with that?

She had hoped that since they were colleagues, she would give her face and allow her to leave peacefully.

"You, stand up."

Li Zhicheng interrupted Xiao Yang and pointed at Xiao Zhang.

Lost in her own thoughts, Xiao Zhang didn't notice Li Zhicheng calling her until someone bumped into her, at which point she realized something was wrong.

She looked up in a panic and found everyone staring at her; her face flushed bright red.
