Chapter 195 You've Been Pampered by Zhou Songyan
The consequence of Li Mai's initiative was that Zhou Songyan went mad.
The consequence of Zhou Songyan's madness was that her back almost broke.
It was supposed to be a workday, so Zhou Songyan naturally didn't go to work.
"Why do my employees get wedding leave but I don't? I'm not going!"
Li Mai: "..."
"You're the boss, you make the decisions."
The two cuddled and slept until the afternoon before getting up.
Sun Yuanjie knew that his boss was getting his marriage certificate today, and he had sent him a message the night before last to tell him.
[Secretary Sun, I'm getting my marriage certificate tomorrow. Don't contact me for the next three days unless it's absolutely necessary.]
Sun Yuanjie: [...]
He's such a miserable president's secretary!
Zhou Songyan ordered food from the hotel, and the two of them filled their stomachs.
Li Mai thought of You Huan, wondering how she was doing.
I went upstairs, changed my clothes, and was about to go out.
Zhou Songyan grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
Li Mai: "I'll go check on my senior."
Zhou Songyan said with dissatisfaction, "We just got married."
Li Mai wrapped her arms around his waist and coaxed him softly, "I know, I know, I'll be right back."
As long as Li Mai acts cute, Zhou Songyan has no choice but to compromise and say, "I'll take you there."
Li Mai glanced at the laptop on the sofa; Zhou Songyan had just been working on it.
Sun Yuanjie: President Zhou really can't bear to work me to death!
Li Mai: "You stay home and work hard. I'll go by myself and be back in a little while."
Before Zhou Songyan could say anything more, Li Mai had already let go of him, taken the car keys, and gotten into the car.
He sighed as he watched the car drive away.
Before going to You Huan's house, Li Mai went to a restaurant and ordered two dishes.
When she arrived at Guanlan Residential Area, she parked her car.
I looked up and saw Peng Zixu.
Peng Zixu leaned against the car door, puffing on his cigarette, his eyes fixed on something upstairs.
He looked a little haggard, with a stubble beard, as if he had aged several years.
Just as Li Mai was about to get out and say hello, Peng Zixu stubbed out his cigarette and got into the car.
Watching the car drive away, Li Mai sighed.
When they arrived at You Huan's house, they rang the doorbell for a while before You Huan finally came to open the door.
Um... he looked so dejected that he seemed to have aged several years.
You can't say that out loud, or my senior will yell at you.
No woman is indifferent to her age; even an eighty-year-old woman wants to be called beautiful.
Li Mai went inside and closed the door.
"Senior, were you sleeping just now?"
You Huan was wearing pajamas, her hair looked like a bird's nest, and she looked haggard.
You Huan sat lazily on the sofa and said, "Mmm."
She's been lying in bed like a corpse for the past two days. She doesn't want to watch TV dramas, isn't interested in games, and doesn't want to go out.
But even lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep; her mind was a jumbled mess.
She glanced at the lunchbox in Li Mai's hand: "Did you buy this for me?"
Li Mai nodded and carried the lunchbox to the restaurant.
"Come and eat."
It's obvious that You Huan hasn't been eating properly these past two days.
You Huan was indeed a little hungry; she hadn't eaten anything all day.
After You Huan had finished eating, Li Mai said, "I just saw Peng Zixu downstairs."
You Huan paused for a moment, then continued eating as usual.
"Where did you buy the vegetables? They're quite delicious."
Li Mai knew she was changing the subject.
"Senior, are you really going to break up with Peng Zixu?"
You Huan: "I've already said it, can I take it back?"
Li Mai: "It's okay to back out now. We're women, what's wrong with us occasionally being a little unreasonable?"
You Huan looked up at her and said, "Mai Mai, you've been spoiled by Zhou Songyan."
This is nothing like what Li Mai used to say.
Li Mai also felt that since she let go of her worries and reconciled with Zhou Songyan, she felt much more relaxed, stopped hurting herself, and was happy every day.
You Huan stared at the curve of her lips: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Li Mai paused for a moment, feeling a little guilty.
You Huan was grieving; should she really tell her?
Will this make things worse?
You Huan narrowed her eyes and grabbed her neck: "Tell me now!"
Li Mai: "..."
She placed her hand on You Huan's forehead.
"Senior, have you turned to the dark side because of love turning to hate?"
You Huan pinched her snow-white neck: "Yes, I've turned evil. You'd better tell me right away."
Li Mai coughed and said, "Well, Zhou Songyan and I got our marriage certificate."
You Huan squinted: "When?"
"Yesterday...yesterday".
You Huan stared wide-eyed, grabbed her shoulders, and shook her violently.
"Fine, I'll break up with you, you can marry me..."
Li Mai: "I'm not going to tell you, but you insist on asking."
You Huan suddenly quieted down and let go of her.
"Never mind, one of us has to be happy eventually. Congratulations."
Li Mai looked at her carefully: "Are you alright?"
You Huan rolled her eyes: "What could possibly happen to me? Don't think of me as so fragile. Your marriage is a good thing."
"So, you just married Zhou Songyan like that? Where's the ring? Why isn't there a ring?"
Li Mai smiled and said, "I bought it, and I'm altering the size."
You Huan pursed her lips: "That's more like it. The ring has to be diamond-encrusted, the kind that's as big as a pigeon's egg, so that when you wear it out you'll dazzle everyone's eyes and let everyone see how much Zhou Songyan dotes on you."
Li Mai: "..."
Thinking about how Zhou Songyan spent tens of millions of yuan in a single trip to a jewelry store, Li Mai felt a pang of heartache again.
She gets a share of her husband's money too, and she spends it all so lavishly; it breaks my heart.
She didn't care what others thought; she just wanted to live a good life with Zhou Songyan.
"Alright, let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? What are your plans for the future?"
You Huan puffed out her cheeks and clenched her fists.
"I'll find a new job. I can't let a man ruin me. Compared to men, I feel more insecure without money. Once I earn money, I'll hire ten male prostitutes."
Seeing her so ambitious, Li Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, did Chaoxu approve your resignation application?"
Mentioning this made You Huan feel frustrated again.
"not yet."
Li Mai was taken aback: "Then what should we do?"
“It’s okay. I submitted my resignation about a month ago. Whether they approve it or not, I can leave.”
You Huan turned to look at Li Mai: "What about you? Are you going to be a full-time housewife from now on?"
Li Mai raised an eyebrow: "How could that be? I definitely need to work. I'll be sending out resumes in the next few days."
Women should always have their own careers, no matter what, even if the money is insignificant.
You Huan smiled and said, "Don't bother. Why don't you just go to your husband's company and ask for a job? The salary is quite good."
Li Mai shook her head: "I'm not going."
You Huan found it amusing: "Why not do an easy job?"
Li Mai: "Since we're going to work, it should be a bit challenging. Working under Zhou Songyan is worse than not going at all."
You Huan didn't say much.
Li Mai returned shortly afterward.
I stopped at the supermarket on the way and bought some groceries.
Back home, Zhou Songyan was still working in his study when Li Mai heard him on the phone; he seemed very busy.
She didn't go in to disturb them, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to cook.
