Chapter 196 Remember, I will always be your support.

Zhou Songyan came down following the fragrance, and put his large hand around Li Mai's waist from behind.

His wife has such a thin waist that sometimes when they're in bed, he worries he might pinch it off, but he can't help but use force.

Li Mai slapped his hand, interrupting the yellow rubbish in his mind.

"Don't disturb me while I'm cooking."

Zhou Songyan released her, then leaned against the door frame, one hand in his pocket, casually watching her.

Li Mai stopped what she was doing because her hair was in the way, and tied it up with a plaid hair tie on her wrist, revealing her fair skin.

Then he picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fresh tofu soup, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

Mmm, very fresh.

Zhou Songyan stared at the exposed neck, which was as white as tofu.

I really want to take a bite.

He took two steps forward, bent down, opened his mouth, and bit down.

Li Mai: "..."

With a little force, Zhou Songyan left a row of teeth marks on her snow-white skin.

Li Mai's entire neck turned pink, and her heart pounded wildly.

She turned and pushed him away, her almond-shaped eyes wide, but they held no intimidation.

“Zhou Songyan, if you keep doing this, you won’t get dinner.”

Zhou Songyan let out a low laugh.

His wife is so cute.

"Okay, I'll go out."

This time, Zhou Songyan really did go out obediently.

Li Mai put her hands on her face, trying to cool down.

After dinner, Li Mai left the kitchen for Zhou Songyan to clean up while she went upstairs to take a shower.

After Zhou Songyan went upstairs, he didn't see Li Mai in the room, but he saw that the study light was on.

He went inside.

Li Mai is typing on the keyboard.

"What are you doing?"

Li Mai didn't look up: "Make a resume."

Zhou Songyan was taken aback: "You want to work?"

Li Mai replied while typing: "I've rested long enough, of course I have to go back to work. If I'm unemployed for too long, people won't want me anymore."

Zhou Songyan walked to her side, leaned against the table, his long legs slightly bent, and stared at her with his dark eyes.

"Why bother with a resume? If you want a job, just go directly to Rongzheng Group."

Li Mai shook her head: "I'm not going."

Zhou Songyan frowned, his dark eyes locking onto her: "Why?"

Li Mai typed the last word, clicked save, and turned off the computer.

She stood up and looked Zhou Songyan directly in the eye: "I just don't want to go."

Zhou Songyan: "Are you sure? What if you get bullied outside without my protection? I'd be heartbroken."

Li Mai leaned closer, hooked her arms around his neck, and smiled slightly.

"You underestimate me. I'm not someone you can bully."

Zhou Songyan grabbed her waist, turned her around, and ended up sitting on the chair with Li Mai sitting on his lap.

Li Mai felt somewhat ashamed of this position.

"Put me down."

Zhou Songyan: "We're not done talking yet."

Li Mai sighed and said, "Zhou Songyan, even though we're married, I know you want me to have an easier time."

“But deep down I don’t want to depend on you. I am an independent individual. I want to have my own job, not depend on you for survival.”

Her current comfortable life is all thanks to Zhou Songyan.

"I am grateful to have met you, because of you I have Chengcheng and I have this carefree life now. But I don't want to lose myself in this comfortable life."

Zhou Songyan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Honey, you still don't trust me?"

Li Mai gently stroked the wrinkles on his forehead.

“Zhou Songyan, it’s not about whether you believe me or not. It’s dangerous to entrust your entire fate to one person. Do you want me to live in constant fear?”

Zhou Songyan was speechless.

Of course, he wanted Limai to be happy, to do as she pleased, and to be herself.

Li Mai: "Whether I earn five thousand, ten thousand, or thirty thousand, it's all money I earned, proving that I can survive on my own. Even if I lose you one day, I won't collapse."

Zhou Songyan hurriedly explained, "I..."

Li Mai pressed her hand to his lips, stopping him from continuing.

"I know your feelings, and I've never doubted them. My choice is simply to make myself feel safe and secure, so I can live a stable life with you."

"Although I am very ordinary and not a superwoman, I don't want to watch you stand higher and higher. I can only look up to you, even though I know that no matter how hard I try, I can only look up to you."

Li Mai didn't have such grand ambitions; she just wanted a job of her own so she wouldn't be living a life of aimless drifting.

Zhou Songyan placed his large hand on the back of her head and pulled her into his arms.

After a long pause, he whispered in her ear, "Whatever you do, do it. I support you."

"Remember, I will always be your support."

Since Li Mai doesn't want him to be her protector, then he will be her solid support.

Li Mai only needs to turn around, and he will always be there.

"And my wife, you are anything but ordinary. How could you be ordinary? Without you, I don't know what I would be like now."

"You don't need to look up to me, I will lift you up."

Li Mai trembled and hugged Zhou Songyan tightly.

She choked back tears and said, "Thank you, my husband."

Zhou Songyan said in a low voice, "I will satisfy whatever you want."

...

The two embraced for a while, and Li Mai felt a large hand roaming around her waist.

She paused for a moment, sensing that Zhou Songyan's breathing was heavy.

This is……

"Wife, we haven't been in the study yet."

"Zhou Songyan!"

"Call me husband."

"Go back..."

Li Mai's next words were swallowed up.

By the end, Li Mai was covered in sweat, her hair was wet, and her legs were so weak she could barely walk.

Zhou Songyan carried her back to the room, completely satisfied.

...

The next day, Zhou Songyan was working in his study when Li Mai stood at the door and said, "Bring me the computer."

Zhou Songyan deliberately said, "Come and get it yourself."

Li Mai glared at him.

She didn't want to go in.

She doesn't want to go into the study lately.

The tables, chairs, and even the sofa were all stained.

As soon as she goes inside, certain scenes come to mind.

"You'll take it out when I tell you to, so I can't order you around anymore, huh?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Has it escalated to this level?

Forget it, I'm not going to tease him anymore. If I make him angry, he'll be the one who suffers.

He stood up and handed the computer to Li Mai.

Li Mai took the computer and went to the master bedroom.

Zhou Songyan smiled helplessly.

...

Li Mai checked her resume and made sure there were no problems. She then browsed job postings online and submitted more than a dozen resumes to companies that seemed suitable.

After finishing, I turned off the computer and went downstairs.

A short while later, Zhou Songyan heard a sound coming from downstairs.

He walked to the window and saw Li Mai wearing boots, digging in the yard.

He opened the window.

"Honey, what are you doing digging in the dirt?"

Li Mai stopped and looked up at him: "Turn the soil. After a while, when the weather warms up, we can plant vegetables."

The thought of Chengcheng and Zhou Songyan eating the vegetables she grew herself filled her with energy.

Zhou Songyan smiled.

Li Mai is truly full of energy, with seemingly inexhaustible vitality every day.

"Do you need any help?"

"No need, you go back to work."

"Go, honey! I'm rooting for you!"

Li Mai looked up and said, "Honey, you should do your best too. Don't be lazy, go to work."

Zhou Songyan: "..."
