Chapter 128 Is he really that clingy? He even follows me when I take out the trash.

Zhou Jingtian didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Chengcheng.

He hadn't expected Li Mai to be such a good cook; he couldn't stop eating.

The family enjoyed a delicious dinner. Zhou Jingtian played with Chengcheng, Grandma Zhou watched TV with Li Mai, and Zhou Songyan was sent to clean the table again.

When Zhou Songyan went out to throw away the trash, Li Mai got up and followed him out.

Zhou Songyan's dark eyes lit up.

Is she really that clingy? She even follows me when I take out the trash.

Someone's lips were curled up in a wide smile.

Li Mai silently followed Zhou Songyan to throw away the trash. On the way back, she spoke up: "Zhou Songyan, a woman came today and said she was your mother."

Zhou Songyan stopped: "What did she say?"

Li Mai didn't look at him, and walked forward with her hands in her pockets: "What else can I say? Just tell me to stay away from you."

Zhou Songyan's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

He strode up to Li Mai, walked around to the front of her, placed his large hand on her shoulder, and his deep eyes showed tension: "Ignore her. If she comes again, don't let her in."

Li Mai looked at him in surprise: "But she's your mother..."

"I have nothing to do with her."

Li Mai opened her mouth as if to ask Zhou Songyan about his mother, but then felt it was inappropriate. Everyone has privacy, and she shouldn't pry into it.

Zhou Songyan said in a low voice, "She and my dad divorced a long time ago. She doesn't want this family, she doesn't want me. I have nothing to do with her anymore. You don't need to care what she says. If she comes to cause trouble for you, call me or just curse at her."

Li Mai: "..."

Although Zhou Songyan didn't go into details, she could roughly guess what it was.

Even someone as powerful as Zhou Songyan has scars he doesn't want to face.

Li Mai forced a smile: "I already scolded her today. Your mother was very angry when she left."

Zhou Songyan raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her cheek, saying affectionately, "Yes, you did very well."

Li Mai blushed and lowered her head, feeling hot from his gentle gaze.

Ignoring the passersby, Zhou Songyan pulled her into his arms.

As the two were leaving, Zhou Jingtian got up to leave and casually asked, "Mom, do you want to come back with me?"

Grandma Zhou waved her hand while watching TV: "I'm not going back."

Living here is wonderful. My granddaughter-in-law's cooking is delicious, and I can see my great-grandson every day. I don't want to go back.

Zhou Jingtian had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

If he didn't feel it was inappropriate, he would have liked to move in with us.

In the days that followed, Zhou Jing went straight to Qingshui Road after work.

Li Mai also automatically cooked more dishes.

Zhou Songyan was somewhat displeased.

The table glanced disapprovingly at the two elderly people across from them, and then swept a look at Chengcheng as well.

There are more and more people, it's so annoying! I can't get rid of them.

The world he longed for as a couple was slipping further and further away from him.

Li Mai really enjoyed the harmonious family atmosphere.

She hadn't experienced much family warmth growing up. She had to be careful to watch Li Shirong's expression when she sat down to eat. She didn't dare to speak at the table, and she didn't even dare to pick up food that was far away from her, because Li Shirong would glare at her and scold her.

Thinking back on the past, she felt a little sad.

Zhou Songyan put a piece of fish in her bowl and removed the bones: "Don't think nonsense while you're eating."

Li Mai glanced at him, a warm feeling rising in her heart, and picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

After dinner, Zhou Jingtian left, and Grandma Zhou and Chengcheng soon returned to their respective rooms.

Li Mai was watching TV when her phone rang.

It was a call from Ji Wangyu.

Li Mai answered: "President Ji."

Ji Wangyu: "I'm not your boss anymore, so you don't need to call me that. Just call me by my name."

Li Mai was uncomfortable: "I'll just call you President Ji, it feels awkward to call you by your name."

Ji Wangyu didn't insist: "Li Mai, I'm getting engaged the day after tomorrow. Let's meet tomorrow."

Li Mai politely declined, saying, "I don't have time tomorrow."

"Just one hour is fine, I want to talk to you."

Zhou Songyan snatched the phone: "Hey, you surnamed Ji, aren't you annoying? I already said I don't have time, why are you still bothering her? If you keep nagging, I'll come over and kill you!"

After yelling fiercely, Zhou Songyan hung up the phone immediately.

If it weren't for the fact that Ji Wangyu hired Li Mai when Li Mai was in trouble, he would have really wanted to kill Ji Wangyu.

They were about to get engaged, and he was still secretly flirting with his woman.

Li Mai ate her apple, watching the man with amusement.

"Is it really necessary? I've already refused."

Zhou Songyan turned to look at her with a mournful expression: "Quickly block Ji Wangyu!"

Li Mai ignored him, eating her apple and watching TV.

Zhou Songyan wanted to use Li Mai's phone to operate it himself, but he didn't dare.

The young woman still harbored resentment towards him, and her anger hadn't subsided, so he didn't dare to rashly upset her.

Just then, the TV showed the male and female leads kissing.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "What are they doing?"

Li Mai: "Can't you see if you're blind?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhou Songyan turned her around and pinned her to the sofa, punishing her.

Afterwards, Zhou Songyan licked her lips and said with a smile, "So sweet."

Li Mai's face turned bright red. She pushed him away, stopped eating her apple and watching TV, and ran upstairs.

Zhou Songyan smiled happily, turned off the TV, and followed her upstairs.

Standing at the door of the master bedroom, he prepared to push the door open and went in, only to find that the door was locked from the inside. He had no choice but to return to his own room dejectedly.

She won't let me eat meat again after I've had it once. What a stingy woman!

Thinking of the blissful experience of that night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Ji Wangyu glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m. Li Mai was still with Zhou Songyan. Were they living together?

The thought of this possibility made his eyes darken with an intense, unyielding intensity.

...

Ji Wangyu and Lin Qianyu are engaged.

The news broadcast showed the couple's engagement ceremony. They were a perfect match, and Lin Qianyu looked very happy.

Li Mai looked at it for a while and then exited the news page.

Zhao Yufen did not attend the engagement banquet; instead, she sat in her son's ward, who was in a vegetative state, her face full of resentment.

Ji Wangyu and Lin Qianyu's engagement banquet was very lively, and many prominent figures from Beijing attended.

Ji Wangyu went from being an unappreciated illegitimate child to being surrounded by a group of people who flattered and chatted with him. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all and handled it with ease.

The Lin family hadn't treated him well before, but today they gave him a lot of face, and Lin Dong introduced him to several important officials in Beijing.

Lin Qianyu was immersed in a bubble of happiness.

The couple set their wedding date for after the new year.

She couldn't wait to marry Ji Wangyu.

...

In the office.

Zhou Songyan answered the flashing, unfamiliar number.

Han Ying: "Xiao Yan, let's meet. I have a lot to tell you."

Zhou Songyan's voice was cold and hard: "There's no need."

"Xiaoyan..."

Zhou Songyan interrupted her: "Don't call me that, it makes me uncomfortable. How dare you go to Li Mai and say those things to her? What were you thinking? Who gave you the right to interfere in my life?"

Han Ying was furious that Li Mai would complain.
