Chapter 176 You Speak My Mind

After school, Chengcheng was taken to Rongzheng Group by Limai.

Li Mai dropped him off at Zhou Songyan's floor, and before even leaving the elevator, she waved goodbye to Chengcheng and slipped away.

Chengcheng, carrying his little schoolbag, knocked on Zhou Songyan's office door.

Zhou Songyan was taken aback when she saw him: "Why are you here?"

Chengcheng closed the door, walked to the sofa, sat down, took off his schoolbag and put it aside, and then looked at Zhou Songyan.

"My mother brought me here."

Zhou Songyan looked towards the door: "Where's your mother?"

Chengcheng: "She's having dinner with her godmother tonight and asked you to take care of me."

Zhou Songyan frowned.

That's really something, leaving his son with him while he goes off to have fun.

The most important thing is not to bring him along.

He glanced at the little figure across from him, whose legs were dangling.

"You can play by yourself. I'll take you out to eat after I finish work."

"good."

Chengcheng slid off the sofa to get his toys.

Zhou Songyan's office has a section specifically set aside for Chengcheng to store his toys and various models. Some of the toys were bought by Zhou Songyan when he didn't even know that Chengcheng was his son.

The father and son each went about their own business, quietly and without disturbing each other.

Sun Yuanjie came in to deliver the files and saw this scene, thinking to himself that Chengcheng was such a good boy.

He has a nephew who's a year older than Chengcheng. He's so mischievous! He can tear the house apart in no time and he's incredibly noisy. Every time he visits, he pesters him to play childish games or drags him shopping. He's never seen his nephew quiet.

Mr. Zhou must have saved the galaxy in his past life to have such an obedient son in this one.

After reporting his work to Zhou Songyan, Sun Yuanjie walked over and squatted down next to Chengcheng.

"Uncle will play with you."

Chengcheng looked up at him and said, "No need, Uncle, go ahead and do your work."

Sun Yuanjie left with a smile.

Seeing that he had almost finished his work, Zhou Songyan turned off the computer, grabbed his coat, and stood up, saying, "I'm leaving."

Chengcheng got up, put on his little schoolbag, walked to Zhou Songyan's side, and took his big hand.

Zhou Song glanced at him sideways.

It's so small!

He bent down and picked him up.

Chengcheng looked pleasantly surprised.

He's grown up now, and it's hard for his mom to carry him, but his dad seems to carry him very easily.

He stretched out his little arm and hugged Zhou Songyan: "Dad, I want to eat fried chicken."

Zhou Songyan glanced at him: "You're pushing your luck."

Even so, Zhou Songyan still took him to eat fried chicken and hamburgers.

Watching the child across from him happily eating, Zhou Songyan warned, "Don't tell your mother when we get back."

Chengcheng took a bite of the chicken wing, his mouth glistening with oil, and nodded his little head.

Zhou Songyan took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

...

After finishing their meal, Li Mai and You Huan went to a bar and sat there for an hour.

You Huan had been drinking, so Li Mai drove her home.

"Senior, where should I take you?"

You Huan leaned back in her chair, slightly drunk, her face flushed, and she parted her red lips to give an address.

Li Mai had never heard of this address before, but guessed it was Peng Zixu's residence, as she knew You Huan was currently living with Peng Zixu.

When the car arrived at the residential area, the security guard saw You Huan, recognized her, and let the car in.

"Senior, which building?"

This upscale apartment complex consists of only eight buildings.

You Huan pounded on the car door: "Right here! Right here!"

We've already passed Limai, so we're backing up.

You Huan opened the car door herself and got out, waving to Li Mai: "Thank you for bringing me back, beautiful lady. You can go back now."

Li Mai looked at her: "Do you want me to take you upstairs?"

"No need, no need, I can manage."

You Huan staggered into the building.

Li Mai watched her enter the elevator before starting the car and leaving.

Peng Zixu sat on the sofa and heard the keypad lock on the front door keep ringing, a sign that the password had been entered incorrectly.

He walked over and opened the door; You Huan's finger was still raised.

Upon seeing Peng Zixu, she smiled and threw herself into his arms.

Peng Zixu was taken aback, then caught her: "Have you been drinking?"

You Huan chuckled.

"I drank just a little bit."

"You're only slightly drunk, so you can't really hold your liquor."

Peng Zixu scooped her up in his arms and kicked the door shut.

You Huan poked his chest with one finger and said with dissatisfaction, "Who said that? I can hold my liquor very well. Let's have a contest if you don't believe me."

Peng Zixu glanced down at her and said, "Don't poke me."

"I'll poke it! I'll poke it!"

Peng Zixu: "..."

You Huan was thrown onto the bed, felt dizzy, and was then pinned down.

Peng Zixu looked at her intently: "Sister, you're flirting with me."

You Huan reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him down a bit.

Suddenly, she said, "Little brother, why are you so handsome? You're so charming!"

Peng Zixu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Then let's not break up, okay?"

...

Li Mai parked the car, opened the door, and saw Zhou Songyan sitting on the sofa with a laptop on her lap.

She was surprised and went over: "Not asleep yet?"

Zhou Songyan looked up at her: "How can I sleep when you're not back?"

Li Mai smiled and sat down next to him, affectionately linking her arm with his and leaning her head close to his.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Mai looked at the screen, which displayed charts of foreign stock market trends; she couldn't understand them.

Zhou Songyan's frustration vanished the moment Li Mai posted it.

"Why is it taking so long?"

Li Mai tilted her head: "After we finished eating, we went to a bar and sat for a while. My senior drank too much, so I took her home."

"You guys are going to bars again?"

"It's a quiet bar."

"What's the difference? It's still just drinking."

"I didn't drink it."

Zhou Songyan knew, of course, that she hadn't drunk it.

“There are drunkards in those places too. What if they try to grope you? You’re not allowed to go there again.”

Li Mai knew his temper; if she argued back, he would punish her. So she simply and obediently agreed, "Okay, okay, I know. I won't go again."

Zhou Songyan was finally satisfied. He closed the computer, tossed the laptop onto the table, and carried Li Mai upstairs.

"It's time to sleep."

Li Mai hooked her arm around his neck and looked at him with a smile: "No matter how I look at it, I still think your face is the most handsome."

Zhou Songyan raised an eyebrow: "Only your face is pretty?"

Li Mai circled his chest: "He has a good figure too."

Zhou Songyan chuckled in a low voice: "Yes, you know my body best. You know exactly how many abs I have, and you know where my moles are. You've observed me quite a bit when we're in bed."

Li Mai: "..."

She looked up in surprise: "How did you know what I said that day?"

Zhou Songyan: "Jingran posted a video in the group."

This was the first time he had realized how sharp Li Mai's tongue was.

Li Mai bit her lip awkwardly.

Zhang Jingran actually recorded a video.

"Did you hear me framing you? I mean, when I said you found Sheng Xi disgusting."

Zhou Songyan: "I heard it."

Li Mai: "..."

She buried her head in Zhou Songyan's chest.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

Zhou Songyan smiled, pursing her lips: "You've spoken my mind."

Li Mai: "..."
