Chapter 119 Calling you my darling won't help.
The weather was cold, and there were fewer vehicles on the road at night.
Li Mai was driving when she realized she had slept all day and couldn't fall asleep at home, so she called You Huan to ask her to come out for a get-together.
The phone rang for a while before being answered: "Hello."
Li Mai: "..."
That duck-like voice...
She coughed and chuckled twice: "Well, I'm fine, you guys continue."
Li Mai hung up the phone quickly.
You Huan sighed, feeling utterly humiliated that she had embarrassed herself in front of her best friend.
"Sister, concentrate."
Peng Zixu's skills were superb, and You Huan quickly forgot about this little episode, being tormented to the point of ecstasy.
She's usually busy with work and doesn't let Peng Zixu come over, so this guy will keep bothering her on weekends.
But to be honest, she absolutely loved that kind of indulgence.
This is the life an adult woman should live.
Young, handsome men make her happy.
...
Li Mai couldn't get an appointment with You Huan, so she had to drive home.
I had just parked my car when Zhou Songyan called: "Where have you been? I've been knocking on your door for ages."
Li Mai, remembering that her bones were still aching, took her hand back from the car door: "I...I'm at the hospital tonight, I'm not going back."
"Why are you going to the hospital? Aren't there caregivers available?"
"Mind your own business, I'm overflowing with love today."
Zhou Songyan choked for a moment, then paused for a long time before saying, "Since that's the case, give me some."
"No."
Li Mai quickly hung up the phone, reclined her chair, and leaned back to scroll through her phone.
She can't stay with that wolf Zhou Songyan anymore, it's going to kill her!
Li Mai was engrossed in watching melodramatic short dramas, laughing so hard her shoulders were shaking.
Suddenly someone knocked on the car window twice.
She turned her head and saw Zhou Songyan's slightly dark, handsome face, which startled her so much that she hiccuped.
Oh no, we've been caught.
She awkwardly rolled down the car window and waved, "Hi, what a coincidence."
Zhou Songyan stared at her coldly for two seconds, then reached in, opened the car door, and pulled her out of the car.
Holding Li Mai close to his chest, Zhou Songyan said irritably, "Little liar, aren't we at the hospital?"
Li Mai touched her nose: "Just got back."
"Really? I've seen you scrolling through your phone for ten minutes, laughing like an idiot."
Li Mai: "..."
This person was actually hiding in the shadows spying on her.
Now that she knew, she stopped pretending.
She shook off Zhou Songyan's hand: "Fine, I'll be honest, I just don't want to be with you. Are you satisfied now? Let's go home, I'm going upstairs too."
Li Mai closed the car window, locked the car, and walked towards the elevator.
Zhou Songyan gritted his teeth and followed.
In the elevator, Li Mai looked at him helplessly: "Dear Mr. Zhou, could you please go back to your own home?"
Zhou Songyan stood next to her, tall and imposing, one hand in his pocket, glancing at her sideways: "Calling me 'darling' won't work, I'll stick to you to death."
Li Mai: "..."
Zhou Songyan shamelessly followed her inside.
Li Mai turned around, pressed a finger against his chest, and said fiercely, "If you don't want to be kicked out, behave yourself and don't lay a hand on me!"
Zhou Songyan raised his hand and grasped hers, his palm enveloping hers, looking at her with a half-smile: "Mai Mai, what are you thinking? Men need rest too."
Li Mai: "..."
She abruptly pulled her hand back, blushing as she went back to her room.
Zhou Songyan behind him let out a low laugh.
Frustrated, Li Mai threw herself onto the bed and pounded it twice.
Zhou Songyan leisurely took a shower and lay on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel.
The heating is on, so it's not cold at home.
Li Mai took her clothes and went out to take a shower, glancing into the living room.
Good heavens, someone was sprawled out on the sofa, unable to stretch out their legs, with one leg draped directly over the back of the sofa.
Her gaze shifted, meeting Zhou Songyan's eyes. The sleazy man winked at her.
Li Mai's shoulders trembled, and she quickly went into the bathroom.
It's too much to bear.
After taking a shower, Li Mai ran back to her room and locked the door.
But she soon got thirsty and had to open the door to go out and get some water.
Zhou Songyan was still lying dead on the sofa.
After she finished drinking the water, Zhou Songyan suddenly appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Honey, didn't I tell you not to go out at night?"
Li Mai pulled his hand away: "Rest well, don't break it."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He watched speechlessly as the petite woman floated into the room, slammed the door shut, and locked it.
He reluctantly turned off the lights and went to Chengcheng's room.
Li Mai couldn't sleep, so she lay in bed scrolling through her phone until midnight before finally falling asleep.
The next day, Li Mai went to the Zhou family's old house to see Chengcheng.
The mother and son hugged each other as soon as they met, showing great affection.
"Baby, Mommy misses you so much."
Chengcheng: "I miss Mom too. Mom, are you feeling better from your cold?"
Li Mai immediately replied, "I feel much better after taking the medicine."
Chengcheng was suddenly grabbed by the back of his collar and dragged away.
Cheng Cheng: "..."
Li Mai: "..."
Zhou Songyan held Chengcheng in his arms.
Chengcheng happily hooked his arm around his neck: "Dad, you missed me too, didn't you?"
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He left Chengcheng aside and took Limai's hand to go inside.
All alone, Chengcheng: "..."
Where is the promised fatherly love?
Li Mai tried to shake off Zhou Songyan several times but couldn't.
When Grandma Zhou saw her grandson leading Li Mai in, she couldn't stop smiling.
However, she knew what she was doing.
Holding hands doesn't necessarily mean anything.
My grandson is now shamelessly clinging to me.
Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "My granddaughter-in-law has arrived."
Li Mai greeted Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jingtian: "Grandma, Uncle."
The two nodded with smiles.
Zhou Jingtian: "Please sit down."
Zhou Songyan pulled Li Mai down to sit.
When Grandma Zhou saw Chengcheng come in huffing and puffing, she quickly asked, "My precious great-grandson, what's wrong? Why are you pouting so much?"
Chengcheng stared at Zhou Songyan without saying a word, the meaning of which was self-evident: the culprit was there.
Grandma Zhou looked around, snatched the feather duster from the maid, and yelled at Zhou Songyan, "How dare you bully my precious great-grandson!"
Zhou Songyan sat there without moving, and after being hit several times by the old lady, he rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Grandma Zhou didn't really exert any force; she just went through the motions before turning to coax Chengcheng, "Grandma has already disciplined him, my dear great-grandson, don't be angry."
Chengcheng smiled, pursing his lips, and looked at Zhou Songyan smugly.
Zhou Songyan was too lazy to argue with him.
Li Mai felt that her beloved son seemed to have changed, becoming more childish.
This is how a four-year-old should be.
Chengcheng used to follow her around and knew how hard she worked, so he forced himself to be sensible and obedient.
Now that he's being pampered by so many people, his childlike nature has come out.
