Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Get out." Li Zhicheng's voice was as cold as ice, brooking no argument.

Xiao Zhang walked out timidly. She had just been thinking about how to bring up the topic of a raise with President Li, but she was caught red-handed, which made her feel embarrassed.

She then looked to Shen Menghan for help, but Shen Menghan seemed not to see her gaze and continued writing on the paper with her pen.

"Fine, very well, you ungrateful wretch! You'll get your comeuppance someday!" Xiao Zhang cursed silently in his heart.

When she first joined the company, she and Shen Menghan joined around the same time. At the beginning, they supported each other and would occasionally exchange ideas when they didn't understand something. She felt that she had done Shen Menghan a favor because of this.

With Li Zhicheng present, many things were resolved instantly. Shen Menghan breathed a sigh of relief. Only now did she have to admit how powerful this man was.

As she listened to his decisive decision, everyone else looked at him with an overwhelming sense of admiration, and her heart was being drawn to him little by little.

After the meeting, the two of them went into her office. Before she could even sit down, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

She was about to yell at him when she sensed something was wrong with him; he seemed extremely weak. So she asked him with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? You came all of a sudden without telling me beforehand."

"Hey, I'll still do these surprise checks on you in the future to see if you're slacking off." Li Zhicheng deliberately twisted his meaning, and sensing her presence, he gradually calmed down.

Is it your parents' problem?

Shen Menghan pressed him for answers, sensing his dejection, and her heart ached along with him.

Li Zhicheng suddenly fell silent. She actually sensed it? He hid it so well, how did she find out?

“We have no right to interfere in the affairs of the previous generation; let them resolve their own issues. Your father has his reasons; he is tired of the monotonous life and wants to pursue a new life, and you have no reason to object.”

For some reason, even though she didn't like Li Lei, she spoke up for him.

"If one day I have nothing left, will you still be by my side?" Li Zhicheng asked, surprisingly changing the subject.

"Am I not by your side now?" She didn't answer directly. They weren't really husband and wife, so how could they be together forever? Besides, as long as he worked hard, even if he lost everything, he wouldn't be too bad off if he made a comeback.

"Xiaohan, promise me you won't leave me." He was like a child, stubbornly demanding an answer from her.

She pried his hands off, turned around, and looked up at him. He looked like a wounded leopard, utterly dejected and listless.

"We'll always be friends." She was always reluctant to make promises, and she didn't want to give people hope for things she couldn't keep.

His gaze was deep and his pupils were blood red, as if he were utterly exhausted.

"Didn't you sleep last night?" She asked, her voice suddenly filled with concern.

He nodded. He hadn't slept all night, thinking about many things, while she slept more soundly.

"Let them be, huh?"

"Ah."

After he responded, he put his arm around her and walked to a chair to sit down. He tried to pull her onto his lap, but she ran away.

A bitter smile appeared on his face. The two of them were no different from a real married couple now. She was still dodging him like this. Was she really shy, or was she unwilling?

Shen Menghan poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, then sat down opposite him and began organizing the things from the meeting.

He squinted, feeling much more at ease beside her, and slowly began to breathe softly.

Shen Menghan looked up at him disdainfully, imagining dozens of scenarios about his parents' relationship, but in the end she gave up. Why bother with other people's trivial matters?

When Lu Fen and Runqiong were taking their afternoon nap, they found Li Lei and wanted to talk to him again. Li Lei avoided them, closed the door, and pretended to be asleep.

She pounded on the door in a fit of rage. Did he think that running away would solve the problem?

"Auntie, please be quiet. If you wake Grandma up, you won't be able to talk to her." Li Meili appeared just in time to remind her. There was almost no gap between their two rooms, and Auntie was banging on the door as if she was going to tear it down. It could be heard from a long distance.

“He doesn’t want to come out, what can I do? I can’t just sit here and wait to die, I have to talk to him clearly.” Lu Fen couldn’t calm down. Having lost her child, her husband, and her marriage, she was facing the most tragic moment a woman could experience.

"Grandma didn't agree, so Uncle definitely wouldn't dare to force a divorce."

"You're too naive. You don't understand your uncle. He's not going to stop there."

"Well, we don't have any other options."

Li Meili was powerless to help.

"Have!"

Lu Fen suddenly came up with a plan! "You bastard Li Lei, you want a divorce? Fine, I'll get a divorce! But I want to keep all the assets!"

A gossipy socialite like her usually spends her free time watching mindless dramas. Having seen too many stories about divorced women in them, she thought that if Li Lei couldn't change his mind, she would ruin his reputation and make him a pariah even if he remarried in the future.

The best way to ruin his reputation is to make him have an affair!

As the saying goes, the most poisonous heart is a woman's. After Lu Fen's thoughts changed, she became extremely sinister. Li Meili was terrified when she saw her strange expression.

"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Fen glared at her, pulled her up, turned around and went back to her room, closed the door, whispered something in her ear, and then revealed a strange smile.

"Aunt, are you really going to do this? What if Uncle finds out? What if Cousin finds out? What will you do? They'll hate you to death." Li Meili was still quite young and hadn't expected her aunt to be so ruthless as to do something like this. Her uncle was the man she had always deeply loved.

"If he won't serve me, I won't be loyal to him either. I'll die with him!" Lu Fen was determined. If she couldn't win Li Lei's heart, then that woman wouldn't be able to have him either!

"Aunt, you should think it over." Li Meili trembled all over. Although she was ruthless, she could never do something like what her aunt did.

Lufen shook her head; once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it.

"Let's go chat with Xu Jingjing!" Now she was going to stand with Xu Jingjing and the others to bring down the Li family!

Women's hearts are truly terrifying; they can change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book.

Xu Jingjing and Huang Ju rarely saw Lu Fen take the initiative to visit. After a few whispers among themselves, the women became more familiar with each other and their relationship became much closer. Once Lu Fen let loose, she directly suggested that they play mahjong! The four of them quickly became a table.

When Runqiong woke up, she heard that Lu Fen and the others had gone to Huang Ju's place. She didn't say anything, but she became even more dissatisfied with Lu Fen.

She asked someone to help her find Li Lei and ask him to open the door.

Li Lei was forced to confront his elderly mother.

The mother and son sat facing each other, while other bystanders were kept out.

"Li Lei, tell me honestly, did you run into that woman again and want to marry her?" Runqiong didn't mince words with him; she wanted a definite answer.

Li Lei said with a bitter expression, "Mom, if I find her, I will bring her back."
