Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Li Lei, so many years have passed, why do you still remember it?" Runqiong rubbed her forehead, her old face full of helplessness.

"Mom, back then, if you hadn't forced me to marry Lu Fen, would I have married her?" Li Lei didn't want to blame his mother; she wanted to reason with him, so he made her remember who had sown the seeds of this trouble.

"If you don't get her pregnant, the Li family will lose face. Would I force you to marry her?" Runqiong's words revealed the truth of what happened back then.

"I... I told you, I really don't know how she got pregnant with my child, or even..."

"Even what? You still doubt that Zhicheng isn't your child? But can the test results after birth really lie? Li Lei, Mom may be old, but her heart isn't. Lu Fen may not be a great person, but she has sacrificed a lot for this family. No matter what, you shouldn't divorce her."

“If I don’t get a divorce, I’ll find her. How can I be with her openly?” Li Lei retorted. In fact, he still had doubts in his heart. He had no recollection of how he and Lu Fen ended up in the same bed.

"You! You're going to drive me crazy! You're going to be my grandfather, can't you be a little more mature? Where is she? Is she alive or dead? Is she single or married? Have you thought about any of these things? All you do is run around looking for her, are you stupid? What if she's already married, and you divorce Lu Fen first? You'll become a laughing stock in the world!"

"I'd rather be a laughingstock than be with that vicious woman, Rufen, anymore."

Li Lei was unyielding and determined to leave!

“She, she,” Runqiong couldn’t continue. She couldn’t stand Lu Fen’s selfishness either.

No matter how you try to defend her, she can't find any reason; she just doesn't want them to get a divorce.

"Answer Mom, can we talk about this after you find her? Besides, wasn't there a rumor back then that she had died in a shipwreck?"

"That's all a lie. She didn't get on that ship back then, and she wasn't on the list."

"So you've been searching for her all these years?"

Runqiong was shocked; she had actually given birth to such a devoted son.

Li Lei didn't hide anything and nodded.

Although he is physically with Lufen, his heart is always with her.

Even though Lu Fen always wanted to be affectionate with him and said she wanted to have two or three children, he never gave her the chance.

"Fine, fine, do whatever you want. Mom will never interfere in your affairs again."

Runqiong surrendered, and that was no longer her concern.

"Mom, I wronged her back then. I'm sorry to her. I want to apologize to her. You're a woman too, so you can understand my feelings the most, right?" Li Lei was even more pained. She was such a fragile person. Back then, her career had just started to take off, but she gave it up because she decided to be with him.

Later, it was as if she had disappeared from the world; he couldn't find her anywhere.

She disappeared so completely that he went to all the places they had been together before, but no one saw her again.

He almost believed she had perished in the disaster, but the data clearly showed him that she had survived.

In the evening, Shen Menghan went home with Li Zhicheng. He suggested eating out, but she felt she should respect her grandmother's wishes, as the old lady had insisted that they eat the family reunion dinner at home.

She pushed open the door, and there were still the same few people sitting inside, but she felt that it was completely different from yesterday. It was as if they were more indifferent? Or as if they had softened considerably?

Li Zhicheng possessively put his arm around her shoulder, and the two walked in intimately.

"Come sit down, we were just talking about taking a family photo. Zhicheng, which company do you think is better?" Runqiong called to the two of them, so that even if the family really fell apart, at least there would be a photo to remember them by.

"Grandma, Xiaohan's company is a wedding photography company. If you want to take photos, go to her company." Li Zhicheng hadn't mentioned Shen Menghan's work much before, so they didn't know much about her.

"Oh, Xiaohan, you're in this industry? Okay, we'll go to your company, you come up with the best plan, and we'll shoot a few series." Runqiong was very generous and spoke with great confidence.

"Grandma, I'm not in charge of marketing. How about I have the marketing manager prepare a plan for you?" Shen Menghan said with an embarrassed smile. She only knew design.

Other than that, they're only half-baked.

"Well, let's also take some wedding photos of you and Zhicheng. You two aren't having a banquet, so we can't skip the wedding photos, right?"

Grandma looked at the others.

They nodded silently and gave awkward smiles, offering no comment.

"Grandma, let's take our wedding photos later." How could Shen Menghan take photos with him?

"Xiaohan, tell me, if we used our wedding photos as the cover of an advertisement, the company's performance would definitely soar." Li Zhicheng whispered maliciously in her ear.

Shen Menghan raised an eyebrow, thinking that his words made some sense. "But I'm not a celebrity." Only popular celebrities can have a powerful effect.

"Don't underestimate your husband, I'm the most popular guy."

Li Zhicheng stood up straight, facing the crowd with a smug look on his face, as if he wasn't the one who had just been looking at everyone with such doting eyes.

"Do you want to charge advertising fees?" Shen Menghan asked mechanically. If it was about money, his company couldn't afford to spend money on him, given his popularity.

"It's my wife's company, isn't it only natural for her husband to endorse it?" He grinned mischievously again, it seemed she had taken the bait!

"I'll think about it."

"Xiaohan, what are you thinking about? You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. When your photos are released, Grandma is sure they will be earth-shattering!"

Grandma would praise people without restraint, and her descriptions were so vivid they made people blush.

Shen Menghan blushed, and she almost wanted to disappear into the ground.

“Grandma is right, my wife is the most beautiful.” Ignoring the strange looks from others, Li Zhicheng gazed affectionately at the woman beside him.

Shen Menghan couldn't take it anymore; did he have to be so aggressive in flirting with her?

"Xiaohan, don't forget you have to take pictures!" Grandma's words were final, and it was too late for her to object.

Since it's for the company's sake, let's put aside personal grudges for now!

Without thinking it through, Shen Menghan fell into the wolf's trap. When she tried to climb out later, she found herself buried.

Li Meili awkwardly spoke up, "Sister-in-law, I'd like to have some personal charm photos taken. Could you make a plan for me?"

"can."

Shen Menghan wasn't stupid to turn down business opportunities; she had just taken office and needed to demonstrate her abilities.

When Li Lei looked at Shen Menghan, his gaze was still probing, which made her very uncomfortable. What was this man's intention?

Lu Fen remained silent, observing the interaction without participating. However, her occasional glances at Li Lei turned extremely sharp, as if she wanted to chop him up.

As they began eating, they got into a very enthusiastic discussion about the upcoming photoshoot, constantly asking Shen Menghan which locations were good for taking pictures and how to choose an outfit.

As a professional, Shen Menghan gave them a proper explanation of the sheet music to show that she hadn't neglected her duties.

When talking about wedding photos, she couldn't help but think of her dream back then: to take a set of dreamy wedding photos with the man she loved on the Aegean coast.

Her dream had been shattered by Li Guowei long ago, and she thought she would never be moved again. But with Li Zhicheng's constant teasing, she seemed to have fallen for him long ago.

Li Zhicheng is good-looking and treats her very well. If she is as Linglong said, she should just go for it.

She couldn't let go of her promise to her mother, and she couldn't go back on her word. She was consumed by insane self-blame.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Li Zhicheng couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her. After she snapped back to her senses, her expression towards him became much more unfamiliar. He was startled and didn't know what was wrong with her.

In the blink of an eye, she seemed like a completely different person.
