Chapter 186 This bed is quite sturdy
"Jingtian, we were husband and wife, how could you say that? I'm so heartbroken."
Han Ying cried on the phone.
Zhou Jingtian: "Don't give me that nonsense, and don't cry and whine here. It annoys me."
Han Ying: "Jingtian, today is New Year's Eve, and I'm all alone. There's no one around, and Xiaoyan isn't answering the phone or coming to see me. I'm already so pitiful. Can't you be a little gentler with me and comfort me?"
Zhou Jingtian thought Han Ying was pretentious and disgusting after she got old.
"Why should I coax you? Don't call me again, or I'll block you in a minute."
Han Ying: "..."
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up.
She had completely given up hope.
Previously, after hearing something from her friend, she thought that Zhou Jingtian's decision not to marry all these years was because he couldn't let go of her and was still waiting for her.
Despite her numerous attempts to get close to him, Zhou Jingtian remained unmoved, speaking coldly to her as if he didn't want to see her.
There's probably no hope for her to remarry Zhou Jingtian.
But the son is hers, her own flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water.
She couldn't believe her son had never acknowledged her.
Han Ying glanced at the deserted room and felt a pang of sadness.
If she hadn't gotten divorced back then, she could still spend the New Year at the Zhou family's house, a lively and joyous occasion.
...
Li Mai put the Australian lobster into the steamer when her cell phone rang in her pocket.
She washed her hands, took out her phone, saw it was an unfamiliar number, and answered, "Hello."
Sheng Zhaohui's voice came through the phone: "Li Mai, it's me."
Sheng Zhaohui changed his phone number and called Li Mai.
As Li Mai was about to hang up, Sheng Zhaohui hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Don't hang up yet, I just want to say a few words to you."
Li Mai suppressed her temper and said, "Go ahead."
Sheng Zhaohui softened his voice: "I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you."
"Are you done talking?"
"Um."
Li Mai hung up the phone immediately.
Sheng Zhaohui: "..."
Qian Hui walked over: "Who did you call?"
Sheng Zhaohui: "A partner."
Qian Hui glanced at him but said nothing.
Just as Li Mai was about to put her phone in her pocket, it rang again.
Upon seeing that it was Zheng Anze calling, she hung up immediately.
Grandma Zhou walked in with a smile: "MaiMai, stop what you're doing for now and come out with me for a bit."
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Grandma Zhou pulled her out of the kitchen: "I have something for you."
Grandma Zhou handed her two boxes: "Go try them on and see if they fit."
Li Mai opened it.
It was a navy blue cheongsam with white embroidered patterns on the collar.
It looks exquisite.
The other box contained a knitted shawl.
Grandma Zhou: "Change into your clothes. We'll take a family photo in a bit. I've called the photographer over."
The Zhou family hadn't been this lively in many years. Old Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and hired a photographer at a high price half a month in advance to take a family photo on New Year's Day.
Zhou Songyan walked over and took the box from Li Mai's hand: "I'll take you to exchange it."
...
Zhou Songyan led Li Mai through several turns and pushed open a door.
"Come in."
Li Mai walked in: "Is this your room?"
Zhou Songyan: "Hmm."
He hadn't lived in the old house for a long time.
Li Mai looked around the room; it was clean and tidy, the bed was made up, and the duvet cover was still bright red.
She stared at the bed sheet for a long time.
Bright red is probably only used by newlyweds.
Grandma is...
She and Zhou Songyan are not married yet.
Zhou Songyan hugged her from behind: "Grandma wants us to stay at the old house tonight, so she had the beds made in advance."
"MaiMai, if you're not used to it, we'll go home and live here."
Li Mai said softly, "Let's stay here."
“Zhou Songyan, your family is very lively and harmonious. I like it very much.”
Zhou Songyan breathed warmly into her ear: "You should say 'our family,' you are also a part of this family."
Li Mai dodged to the side: "It tickles, stop it."
Zhou Songyan suddenly picked her up and placed her on the bed, looking at her with burning eyes: "Mai Mai, I've slept in this bed for more than ten years."
Li Mai pursed her lips: "This bed is quite sturdy."
Zhou Songyan chuckled: "It's very sturdy. It shouldn't break if you do some strenuous exercise on it."
Li Mai: "..."
She wanted to bite her tongue in frustration. Why did she have to bring up solidity?
"Zhou Songyan, don't do anything rash, there are still people outside."
Zhou Songyan smiled wickedly: "It's far from the front hall, so don't worry."
Li Mai struggled to get up.
"You big bad wolf, I shouldn't have gone back to the room with you... Waaah..."
Zhou Songyan held her hand and interlocked his index finger with hers.
Light streamed in through the window, illuminating the red duvet cover and casting a soft glow.
Li Mai's eyes were glazed over, and she slowly closed them.
The two kissed passionately, as if it would last forever.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Songyan stepped back, looking at Li Mai's glistening almond-shaped eyes. His fingers traced across her pink face, finally stopping at her lips, which were swollen from his kisses.
His dark eyes were so deep they seemed to draw people in.
Li Mai pushed him away: "Get out, I need to change my clothes."
Zhou Songyan said in a hoarse voice, "I'll help you."
"No, I'll lose control completely in a minute."
Zhou Songyan covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Zhou Songyan opened the door and went out, then closed it for her.
Five minutes later, Li Mai opened the door.
Zhou Songyan turned his head at the sound, and his breath caught in his throat when he saw Li Mai.
Li Mai straightened her skirt: "Doesn't it look good?"
Zhou Songyan's throat bobbed, and after a long while, he said, "It looks good."
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
It was as if this cheongsam was tailor-made for her.
Li Mai saw the burning light in his eyes and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
When Li Mai appeared before the Zhou family, everyone's eyes were naturally drawn to her.
Grandma Zhou: "My granddaughter-in-law looks so beautiful in a cheongsam!"
Zhang Jingran: "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful! I can't take it, I'm totally mesmerized!"
Li Mai laughed: "It's not that exaggerated."
Zhang Jingran: "You're so beautiful. If you don't believe me, look at your cousin. His eyes are glued to you."
Li Mai turned to look at Zhou Songyan, who coughed awkwardly.
Zhou Qianlian pulled Li Mai down to sit, scratched her head with her fingers, and said after a while, "Your neck is so beautiful, you should show it off."
Zhou Qianlian styled her hair into a beautiful bun and secured it with a hairpin.
Chengcheng: "Mom, you look so beautiful today!"
Li Mai patted his head: "Thank you for the compliment, darling!"
The maid came over and called out, "Madam, the photographer has arrived."
Li Mai was a little nervous as it was her first time taking a family photo.
Zhou Songyan took her hand.
Li Mai turned her head and saw that Zhou Songyan had smooth facial features and a high nose bridge, so handsome that she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Look at the camera."
Zhou Songyan offered a reminder.
