Chapter 74 You sleep in the bed, I sleep on the sofa

Li Mai wrapped herself in the blanket and turned away, ignoring Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan wasn't actually that drunk.

He walked over, took Li Mai out, and, ignoring her protests, carried her into the room.

"Zhou Songyan, don't go too far!"

Zhou Songyan put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa."

The bedroom door was closed.

Li Mai stared at the ceiling for a long time before finally falling asleep.

...

Chengcheng was stunned when he saw the person on the sofa after he got up.

"uncle."

Zhou Songyan is tall and big; the small sofa isn't big enough for him to lie on, and he can't even stretch his legs out.

His brows were furrowed; he must have slept uncomfortably.

Li Mai fell asleep very late last night and is still asleep.

Zhou Songyan opened her eyes and was startled to see Chengcheng sitting next to her.

Why are you sitting here?

Chengcheng: Why are you sleeping here?

Zhou Songyan sat up, rubbing her sore neck, and pinched Chengcheng's soft face.

Is there a problem with me sleeping here?

Chengcheng didn't say anything and went to the bathroom to wash up.

A little while later, Li Mai also got up.

He looked at Zhou Songyan.

Zhou Songyan winked at her: "Good morning."

Li Mai: "..."

She silently looked away, went into the bathroom, washed up, and started making breakfast.

Zhou Songyan came in, hugged her from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder.

Do you have any new toothbrushes and towels at home?

Li Mai wasn't used to being so intimate with him, so she pushed him away and went out, rummaging through the cabinet to find a new toothbrush and towel and handing them to him.

Zhou Songyan smiled slightly, took the toothbrush and towel, and went to the bathroom.

Li Mai went into the kitchen to continue cooking wontons.

Chengcheng was in a great mood all morning, running around like a little bird.

Li Mai saw this and understood that it was because Zhou Songyan lived here.

After breakfast, Li Mai spoke up: "Zhou Songyan, can you do me a favor?"

Zhou Songyan raised an eyebrow: "Go on."

It's rare that Li Mai actually asked him for help.

Li Mai: "Could you look after Chengcheng for me for a day? I have something to do today."

"What's up?"

Seeing that Li Mai didn't answer, Zhou Songyan's face turned cold: "You're not on a date, are you?"

"no."

"If you're not going to help, then forget it. I'll just give Chengcheng away..."

"Help, I'll take him back and bring him back later."

Before Li Mai could finish speaking, Zhou Songyan agreed.

"Li Mai, take the money. I went through a lot of trouble to get it for you."

Li Mai didn't believe it: "I only spent 20,000 yuan, and now they're giving me 200,000 yuan in compensation. Do you think I'm a fool? Who would do business like that?"

Li Mai thought it was Zhou Songyan who forwarded it to her.

She didn't want Zhou Songyan's money.

Zhou Songyan: "That boss is indeed not stupid, but he has run into me. Are the lawyers of my Rongzheng Group just for show? If he doesn't pay compensation, I will sue him until he is bankrupt."

Li Mai: "..."

If Zhou Songyan used his status to threaten someone, that is indeed possible.

Zhou Songyan snatched her phone, opened WeChat to receive the transfer, and then returned the phone to her.

Li Mai: "..."

She was a little stunned to see that her balance had suddenly increased by 200,000.

Two hundred thousand? She didn't even have two hundred thousand in her bank account in total.

...

After Zhou Songyan took Chengcheng away, Li Mai cleaned the house inside and out.

Actually, she had nothing to do; she just wanted Chengcheng to spend a day with his father.

Zhou Songyan took Chengcheng back to the Zhou family's old house.

When Grandma Zhou saw Chengcheng, her lips trembled with excitement, and her wrinkled hands kept wiping away tears.

This startled Zhou Songyan.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital."

Grandma Zhou pushed him away: "Get out of my way, don't block my view."

Zhou Songyan, who was pushed aside: "..."

Grandma Zhou staggered to Chengcheng and touched his face with trembling hands.

Her great-grandson!

It's her great-grandson!

Chengcheng didn't flinch, but looked straight at Grandma Zhou and called out, "Grandma."

"……Why!"

Grandma Zhou choked back tears as she agreed.

"Good boy! Grandma will give you a hug."

Chengcheng did not refuse and let Grandma Zhou hug him.

Zhou Songyan looked at this scene with a sense of helplessness.

Grandma Zhou held Chengcheng tightly, refusing to let go.

Then he ran to the kitchen and told the staff to add more dishes, to make dishes that children like to eat.

At the dining table, Grandma Zhou pulled Chengcheng over to sit next to her and kept putting food on his plate.

"Chengcheng, is this delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"Eat more, and Grandma will peel a shrimp for you."

"Grandma, I've peeled it myself."

"Grandma will peel it for you, you can eat it."

"Chengcheng, eat some fish. Eating fish is good for your health."

Zhou Songyan continued eating, too lazy to care.

The old lady didn't have any great-grandchildren, so she treated other people's children as her great-grandchildren.

However, Chengcheng will be living with Limai from now on.

After he marries Li Mai, Chengcheng will live with them and will naturally be a descendant of the Zhou family. It's not wrong for the old lady to treat him like a great-grandson.

...

After finishing the spring cleaning, Li Mai received a call from You Huan.

"Li Mai, have you cooked? I'd like to come over for a meal."

Li Mai smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking of going downstairs to buy something to eat later."

You Huan was a little disappointed. She had nothing to eat by herself, so she thought about going to Li Mai's house for a meal.

Who would have thought she hadn't cooked?

Where is Chengcheng?

"He was taken away by Zhou Songyan."

So you mean you're home alone?

"Um."

"Great! Hurry up and get dressed, I'll take you out to eat."

Going to a restaurant alone is no fun, but it's fun with someone else.

Li Mai also wanted to go out and relax.

"Okay, come pick me up."

"I'll be there in ten minutes."

...

You Huan continued, "Li Mai, I want to eat barbecue."

Li Mai smiled and said, "Then let's have barbecue, it's on me."

She received a windfall of 200,000 yuan today, enough for a nice meal.

Li Mai told You Huan about the 200,000.

You Huan was stunned.

"The Crown Prince is awesome!"

"It's so good to be rich and powerful!"

You Huan chose a barbecue restaurant that had good online reviews.

The two went inside and had a hearty meal.

I came out of the barbecue restaurant.

The two went shopping to digest their food, and each of them bought two sets of clothes. Li Mai then went to the children's clothing section and bought five sets of clothes for Chengcheng.

You Huan laughed at her: "When you were buying things for yourself, you hesitated for a long time and only picked the discounted items. But now that you're buying things for Chengcheng, you're so generous, you don't even blink."

Li Mai smiled and said, "When you have children, you'll be just like me."

You Huan pouted and said, "Then I don't want children. I'll earn my own money and spend it myself. I'll be full and the whole family won't go hungry."

Li Mai declined to comment.

Everyone makes different choices.

Once in the car, Li Mai leaned back in her seat and said, "Let's go home, I'm exhausted."

"Why go home? Let's keep having fun."

You Huan brought Li Mai to the bar.

Li Mai: "..."

"Senior, what are you doing at the bar?"

You Huan: "Let's drink."

"But I don't drink alcohol."

"I'll drink, you go find some young heartthrobs."

Li Mai: "..."

The bar was packed with people, men and women crammed together, and the music was deafening.

Li Mai was not used to it.

"Old Peng, look who's that?"

Qin Xuan thought he was seeing things. He actually saw Li Mai, the woman Zhou Songyan had been longing for, in the bar.
