Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Seeing her absent-minded expression, Li Zhicheng had already guessed most of what was going on. He respected her wishes, but he was worried that if she was free from constraints and eager to leave, he wouldn't even have a chance.

Seeing through something but not exposing it is the only way to maintain stability.

"Xiaohan, you can bring your mother and grandmother here to live in the seaside villa. It's good for their recovery." He racked his brains to put her mind at ease.

"They don't want to come, and besides," she said, standing up to return to her office, having nothing more to say to him.

We see each other every day, but she doesn't have anything particularly to say. Apart from work, she doesn't want to say a single word more.

Seeing that he seemed to have no intention of leaving, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going back to the Li family?"

"I'll stay here with you, it's almost time to get off work anyway." His work doesn't necessarily require him to come to the company. Unless there are extremely urgent documents piled up, Li Jun would call him directly for important matters.

"up to you."

When Shen Menghan gets to work, she's like a madwoman, completely forgetting about time. If Li Zhicheng hadn't opened the door later, she wouldn't have realized that it had already gotten dark outside.

So he waited for her in the conference room the whole time? No, he was working on his phone and only contacted her when he noticed it was getting dark.

The two rode in the car together, with the driver in front, maintaining a distance and ensuring the privacy of those behind them was absolutely guaranteed.

Li Zhicheng reached out and put his arm around her. Seeing her fidgeting, he simply rested his head on her shoulder, looking like he was begging for her affection.

"Hey, don't go too far." Shen Menghan frowned slightly, feeling his masculine scent in her nose, and her body tensed up a little.

"I'm tired, let me lean on you for a while."

Just as she was about to push him away, the image of his suppressed emotions due to his parents' argument flashed through her mind. She remained silent, only leaning against him briefly.

Who knew that after leaning against it for a short while, he started panting softly and had actually fallen asleep?

She awkwardly laid his head down to make him more comfortable, but he took advantage of the situation, resting his head on her lap, wrapping his arms around her waist, and showing a satisfied expression on his face.

Even if she were heartless, seeing him like an innocent child at this moment, she couldn't bear to scold him awake.

When they returned to the Li family home, he was still asleep, so she stayed with him in the car until his phone rang and his grandmother urged them to eat. Only then did she have no choice but to shake him awake.

Li Zhicheng slowly opened his eyes and saw her beautiful figure in front of him. He blinked, a little confused, thinking he was dreaming.

"Get off the bus quickly, Grandma is calling us home for dinner." She turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, worried that he would see through her true thoughts.

"Are we home?" He had only dozed off for a moment; had he slept that long?

"Yes."

Shen Menghan pushed him away, straightened her clothes, and then got out of the car.

Li Zhicheng got out of the car from the other side. The two of them were still in the garage. The driver had been sent away by Shen Menghan after returning home, as she did not want to waste his time.

The two walked together, their shadows stretching long under the dim streetlights.

Li Zhicheng heard his grandmother calling from afar: "You two come back for dinner."

It turns out that after Grandma came back today, she asked Aunt Li to cook a big feast, hoping that one day we could all eat together again.

Moreover, she also invited Li Guowei's family over; it's unclear what her intentions were.

Huang Ju and Li Dahai were constantly flattering Runqiong as they spoke, as if trying to get her attention.

"If only we could always be this harmonious, we'd be a family. We've turned into enemies, making ourselves a laughingstock for outsiders."

"That's what you brought upon yourselves. If you had behaved yourselves, Zhicheng would have kept you at arm's length." Runqiong wasn't stupid, nor was she deaf; she knew perfectly well who was right and who was wrong.

"Grandmother, I also want to contribute to the Li family. Can I work at the Li Corporation?" Xu Jingjing was persistent, constantly asking for a job.

“If your dad retires, we might consider letting you in,” Runqiong said.

Li Dahai's face turned green. Although he was old, he was unwilling to retire. If he left, who knew what kind of future his son would have? He might be dismissed by Li Zhicheng on some pretext. He was unwilling to take that risk.

Seeing that the old woman had relented, Xu Jingjing quickly looked at Li Guowei, thinking that he could persuade Li Dahai. As for what Li Dahai thought, she didn't care at all; she just wanted to get what she wanted.

Li Guowei lived up to her expectations and quickly said to his father, "Dad, why don't you stay home and enjoy your retirement?" The couple working together would be more energetic than the old man working alone. If the old man keeps working, he will have to give half of his share to his younger brother in the future. If the couple works together, the whole share will go into his pocket.

"Your younger brother is still in school, how can I retire?" Li Dahai shouted angrily, not even considering who has been holding this family together all along.

Li Guowei quickly reassured him, "My brother is graduating soon and will start working right away. You don't need to worry about him anymore, Dad."

“I won’t have to worry about his wedding in the future. Do you think weddings are cheap?” Li Dahai retorted.

He chuckled, blaming it all on his incompetence in not saving money, which had now emptied his family's coffers.

"Hey, how much did Guowei's wedding cost? Did you have to pay for it?" Runqiong's words silenced Li Dahai.

Huang Ju looked at her husband, her face full of shock. Even the most oblivious person could understand the old woman's unspoken meaning: she had given money without their knowledge.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Li Guowei couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how much extra money did you get?"

Li Dahai glared at him: "How much you charge is none of your business. I paid for every penny of your wedding expenses."

Li Guowei immediately fell silent. He hadn't saved any money himself and it was embarrassing to spend all his parents' money, but he really wanted to know how much they had.

Li Zhicheng looked at his grandmother. He knew she wouldn't stand idly by. Li Guowei's matter was not simple, but how much she would give was up to her, and he didn't want to interfere.

Lu Fen replied coolly, "If it's not a million, it's at least half a million."

She knew her wife best; she was either incredibly generous or incredibly stingy. Since she had made such a statement, it certainly wasn't a small amount.

Xu Jingjing began to calculate in her mind: since the old woman gave it to her, why should she hold onto it and not let her have it?

One million? She was secretly delighted at the thought, but she wasn't as foolish as Li Guowei. Let him be the one to stick his neck out; she would just reap the benefits.

Shen Menghan acted like an outsider, only eating the food she wanted, and those things had nothing to do with her.

Upon closer reflection, the fact that Grandma was willing to pay money proves that she also agreed to Li Guowei and Xu Jingjing's relationship.

"Dad, this money was given to me by my great-grandmother, you have to give it to me."

Li Guowei was not about to give up. Xu Jingjing was right; he was even more anxious about the large sum of money.

"You brat, I'll settle the score with you when we get back. Don't yell at me like that. Aren't you ashamed?" Li Dahai cursed, his old face flushed red. What an ungrateful bastard.
