Chapter 44 I must believe you, even if I'm a pig.

Li Mai came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks and just then heard Zhou Songyan's words.

I was so startled I almost dropped my bowl and chopsticks.

She glared angrily at the back of Zhou Songyan's head.

When did she become his girlfriend?

This man is shameless.

Without her consent, they went around confirming their relationship.

What's this?

How will she explain this later?

Zhou Songyan hung up the phone, turned around, and paused for a moment.

Li Mai's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened as she bit her lip and glared at him.

However, her glare did not intimidate him; instead, he found it adorable.

He walked over with a smile, raising his hand to touch her face, but Li Mai dodged him and walked past him toward the restaurant.

Zhou Songyan curled the corners of her lips, slightly bent her fingers, and withdrew them.

Li Mai put down her chopsticks and said, "Zhou Songyan, I didn't agree to be your girlfriend, so why did you say that to others?"

Zhou Songyan walked to her side with one hand in his pocket and said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later, so it's okay for me to say this now."

Li Mai turned her head, her face full of anger: "How did you know I would agree to be your girlfriend? What makes you so sure?"

"Li Mai, besides being with me, who else do you want to be with? Let me tell you, you have no other choice. I won't allow you to find another man!"

Anyone who dares to provoke Li Mai will have their legs broken.

Li Mai: "I'm not looking for anyone. I can't live alone! Or I'll find another woman! Anyway, I'm not looking for you!"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

This woman is the only one who can make him angry.

He looked at the table full of fragrant dishes.

Take a deep breath.

"I'm not arguing with you, let's eat."

Li Mai: "You think I want to argue with you? Don't go around telling everyone I'm your girlfriend!"

Li Mai looked fierce, her little face stern.

Zhou Songyan: "Can I say 'wife'?"

"Zhou Songyan!"

"Okay, I won't say anything. Let's eat."

Zhou Songyan softened his voice and coaxed her.

"Auntie, what are you arguing about?"

Chengcheng suddenly appeared behind him.

Li Mai turned around, immediately changed her expression, and said gently, "We didn't argue, we just spoke a little loudly."

Cheng Cheng: "..."

Do you think he's just a little kid who doesn't understand anything?

Forget it, he doesn't want to get involved either.

I walked over and sat in his usual spot.

The three of them sat down and began to eat.

...

Guan Qing stood at the entrance of Unit C08, No. 58 Chunfeng Road.

They plunged entirely into the ice cave.

The cold night wind blowing against my body didn't chill my heart.

Zhou Songyan said he was having dinner at his girlfriend's house.

When did Zhou Songyan get a girlfriend? She hadn't heard him mention it.

Although she was abroad, she kept track of Zhou Songyan's situation.

Ji Yunshan knew that he had called the police and arrested her after she confessed her feelings to him.

The Zhou family arranged eight blind dates for him, and he made them cry, which she knew about.

Over the years, Zhou Songyan has not shown interest in any woman.

Of course, it didn't apply to her either.

However, Zhou Songyan treats her specially.

Because she saved Zhou Songyan.

She believed that as long as she was patient enough and stayed by his side long enough, Zhou Songyan would develop feelings for her.

Although she went abroad for two years of further studies, she often kept in touch with Zhou Songyan, fearing that other women might take advantage of her absence.

The message she received indicated that Zhou Songyan remained as abstinent as before, with no women appearing around him.

She didn't believe Zhou Songyan had a girlfriend.

Did he sense her feelings and deliberately make up an excuse to deceive her?

That must be it!

But even so, she was still heartbroken.

Was Zhou Songyan subtly rejecting her?

In the past, she never overstepped the bounds and treated him like a friend.

She couldn't wait any longer this time.

She expressed her desire to join Rongzheng, and Zhou Songyan agreed.

She is now an employee of the Rongzheng project department.

No, she has to win over Zhou Songyan.

She's worked so hard for so long, she can't give up.

Regardless of whether Zhou Songyan has a girlfriend or not, she is determined to win him over.

She was going to marry into the Zhou family.

Guan Qing gritted her teeth secretly.

...

Li Mai ate her meal, occasionally putting food on Chengcheng's plate.

Zhou Songyan watched, feeling a pang of jealousy.

Li Mai is so good to her little nephew.

He would be perfectly content if Li Mai gave him half of the attention she paid to Chengcheng.

His phone rang again.

I wanted to hang up.

He answered the phone when he saw that it was Grandma Zhou calling.

"grandmother."

Upon hearing this address, Li Mai looked up at him.

The image of Grandma Zhou's kind face appeared in my mind.

Grandma Zhou: "Grandson, are you home?"

Zhou Songyan: "No, we ate at your granddaughter-in-law's house."

Li Mai paused, staring at him speechlessly.

Zhou Songyan is talking nonsense again.

Grandma Zhou already misunderstood the relationship between the two, and now it's completely impossible to explain.

Chengcheng shoveled rice into his mouth and looked up at Zhou Songyan.

He pondered what a granddaughter-in-law was.

Dad said that eating at his granddaughter-in-law's house meant eating at their house.

The term "granddaughter-in-law" refers to one's mother.

Grandma Zhou: "Why didn't you call me? I also wanted to eat at my granddaughter-in-law's house. I'm sure her cooking is delicious!"

Zhou Songyan: "It really is delicious."

"You brat, you're so annoying! You didn't even call me."

Zhou Songyan coaxed with a smile, "If you don't get the chance this time, I'll take you next time."

Grandma Zhou: "Alright, you must take me next time."

"Hang up now, but please tell my granddaughter-in-law that I miss her and want her to come over to visit."

"Okay, Grandma."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Songyan smiled and said to Li Mai, who was looking at him with accusation, "Grandma said she misses you and wants you to go to her house to see her."

Li Mai remained silent.

With Chengcheng there, she held back her anger.

After Zhou Songyan finished speaking, he continued eating.

I'm in a great mood.

After dinner, Zhou Songyan insisted on washing the dishes.

Li Mai refused, saying, "No need, you should go home, it's getting late."

Zhou Songyan glanced at his watch: "It's only 7:30, still early."

"Zhou Songyan, how have you become so shameless? Can't you see I'm chasing you away?"

"How can you win over a wife if you're not a little thick-skinned?"

Li Mai said angrily, "Don't make fun of me, I'm not playing with you."

"I wasn't joking, I'm serious, why don't you believe me?"

"I have to believe you, I am a pig."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Why is his level of trust in Lema so low?

Does he look like a conman?

Okay, he did lie to her, but that's all in the past.

He reached out and touched Li Mai's hand, which was hanging by his side, feeling wronged.

Li Mai's body trembled.

Seeing that Li Mai did not refuse, Zhou Songyan became a little bolder and took her hand and placed it on his chest.

"Cut open my heart and you'll see it's filled with you."

Li Mai: "..."

If someone else had said that, she would have been disgusted.

But Zhou Songyan is handsome, so she can accept it.

Zhou Songyan spoke sweet words.

What a rare thing.

Five years ago, when they were together, she would always try to get him to say a few nice things.

Women in love are all like this, right?

Probably lacking love.

She always wanted Zhou Songyan to say those three words.

But Zhou Songyan said he couldn't bring himself to say it.

She tried many tricks, and once she forbade him from touching her for a whole week.

Even under those circumstances, Zhou Songyan didn't say anything.

She was frustrated, but she compromised.
