Chapter 39 Mom, save me
A little boy next to him saw Chengcheng's cool moves and wanted to try it too.
Grandpa lifted her up and hung her up for a few seconds, then she fell down with a thud, landing on her bottom and bursting into tears.
Chengcheng picked at his ear and jumped off the horizontal bar: "Godmother, let's go."
"oh."
The little boy was crying very loudly, and his grandfather couldn't soothe him no matter what he did.
You Huan glanced at him and quickly followed Chengcheng.
Chengcheng ran five more laps around the neighborhood and went home covered in sweat.
Li Mai was very satisfied with her son's athletic progress and told him to take a shower before eating.
After Chengcheng finished his bath, he looked like a clean and adorable little boy again, which made You Huan envious: "Godson, come here and give your godmother a kiss."
Chengcheng's face darkened, and he moved far away from her.
You Huan chased after him, insisting on kissing him, but Chengcheng hid behind Li Mai, crying, "Mommy, save me!"
Li Mai, still holding a bowl and chopsticks, said, "Senior, Chengcheng is shy, don't tease him."
You Huan sighed regretfully, "It's not good when you grow up; they won't let you kiss them casually anymore."
Li Mai agreed; Chengcheng wouldn't even let her kiss him anymore.
Chengcheng ate dinner in fear, worried that You Huan would ambush him. After finishing his meal, he ran into his room and locked the door.
Hearing the door lock, You Huan said hurtfully, "Li Mai, your son is too hurtful. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would resort to sneak attacks?"
Li Mai placed a piece of food on her plate: "Eat quickly."
You Huan smacked her lips, shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and asked, "Did you tell Zhou Songyan about Chengcheng?"
Li Mai paused for a moment: "No, I was going to say that he was away on a business trip."
"Senior, Zhou Songyan said he wants to get back together with me."
A snap.
You Huan slammed the bowl down on the table: "What kind of person is he? He can just disappear and reappear whenever he wants. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"Li Mai, I'm telling you, just ignore him."
“You can let him acknowledge Chengcheng, which is entirely to make him take on the responsibility of being a father, pay child support, and also register Chengcheng’s household registration in Beijing.”
"Do you know how difficult it is to get a Beijing hukou? I've been in Beijing for so many years, and I still don't have a Beijing hukou. Without a Beijing hukou, I can't go to primary school."
Li Mai picked at the grains of rice in her bowl thoughtfully: "We'll see."
She hadn't thought that far ahead.
You Huan was more anxious than her: "I'm talking about a practical issue, please think about it."
Li Mai nodded: "I know, senior. I trust Zhou Songyan's character. He will solve Chengcheng's schooling problem."
You Huan pursed her lips: "Time can change a person, so don't easily believe him."
"Men, once they marry a new woman, they forget their old one, and even their old woman's children."
“After Zhou Songyan gets married and has his own children, will he still care about Chengcheng? You should take advantage of the fact that he is not married and has no other children to get some benefits for Chengcheng, such as a house, money, or a Beijing household registration.”
"This way, your life will be better for you and your child in the future."
"Even though you have a job now and can support Chengcheng, what if you lose your job one day? How will you manage?"
Although You Huan was being overly pessimistic, Li Mai acknowledged that these were real problems that were likely to occur in the future.
But how could she possibly ask Zhou Songyan for a house or money? She couldn't bring herself to ask.
Five years ago, when she found out she was pregnant, she had the option not to have the child, but she chose to keep it.
I did not ask Zhou Songyan's opinion.
This was her choice, and she couldn't let Zhou Songyan pay the price.
All she asks now is that Zhou Songyan can give Chengcheng some fatherly love so that Chengcheng can grow up healthy.
You Huan rambled on and on, but Li Mai remained silent. You Huan grabbed Li Mai's shoulders and shook her, trying to wake her up.
"Little sister, let me tell you, you can't do anything foolish."
Li Mai pushed her away, escaping her clutches, and said perfunctorily, "Senior, I listened."
You Huan then gave up.
After dinner, You Huan drove home.
Li Mai washed the dishes, tidied the kitchen, and hung the washed clothes to dry.
By the time I finished showering and lay in bed, it was already 11 p.m.
I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I didn't hear the phone ring even once.
Li Mai woke up at six o'clock the next day.
At the end of October, Beijing was still shrouded in a gray haze at six o'clock.
Li Mai picked up the phone and saw an unread message.
It was sent by Zhou Songyan.
[Li Mai, are you asleep?]
I sent it last night; she was asleep then.
Li Mai exited the chat history, got out of bed, changed into her workout clothes, and went downstairs for a run.
Cook some porridge in the rice cooker before leaving the house.
I ran for an hour and worked up a sweat.
After getting home and taking a shower, I went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Chengcheng rubbed his eyes and walked to the kitchen door: "Good morning, Mom."
Li Mai turned around and smiled gently at him: "Good morning, baby. Go wash up and have breakfast."
"Okay, Mom."
After breakfast, Li Mai first took Chengcheng to kindergarten, then drove to the company.
Just arrived at the company.
Li Mai was called into Ji Wangyu's office.
"Secretary Li, I'm going to Nancheng on a business trip in a bit. You stay at the company and report back to me if anything comes up."
Li Mai: "President Ji, are you going by yourself?"
"No, Assistant Liu is with me."
He originally intended to bring Li Mai, but upon learning that Zhou Songyan was there, he changed his mind at the last minute.
Li Mai didn't think much of it: "Okay, Mr. Ji, what do you need me to prepare?"
Ji Wangyu: "Go to the project office and bring me a copy of the information for the Nancheng Resort."
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
Li Mai quickly retrieved the documents from the project office.
Ji Wangyu sat in front of the computer: "Put the documents on the table. Secretary Li, could you please go to the lounge and help me pack my luggage?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
Li Mai walked into the lounge, skillfully took out her suitcase, and began packing her things inside.
She was quick and knew Ji Wangyu's habits, so she packed her luggage in no time.
As she turned to leave, she bumped into Ji Wangyu.
Li Mai was startled and fell backward, but Ji Wangyu caught her in time.
Li Mai fell into the broad chest.
"Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind me."
After Li Mai regained her footing, she immediately walked away, keeping a distance from Ji Wangyu.
Ji Wangyu awkwardly withdrew his hand.
His eyes dimmed.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Ji Wangyu changed the subject: "Are you all packed?"
Li Mai immediately replied, "Alright, Mr. Ji."
Ji Wangyu picked up the suitcase and left with his assistant, Liu.
...
Zhou Songyan met Ji Wangyu in Nancheng.
He frowned slightly when he saw that it wasn't Li Mai accompanying him.
Sun Yuanjie: "President Zhou, Miss Li hasn't arrived yet."
Zhou Songyan glanced at him: "I saw it, do you need to say it!"
Sun Yuanjie: "..."
Ji Wangyu had already seen Zhou Songyan; this was the man who had broken his hand when he went crazy last time.
He's a madman.
But he still had to please this madman.
He forced himself to step forward and greet him: "President Zhou."
Zhou Songyan glanced at him indifferently and walked away.
Ji Wangyu stared at Zhou Songyan's retreating figure and gave a self-deprecating smile.
After a brief period of depression, he started talking to others.
He didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Songyan; he just wanted to finish the Nancheng Resort project peacefully.
Sun Yuanjie then noticed his boss leaning against a corner looking at his phone.
I checked my phone way too often today.
Zhou Songyan stared at the chat window with Li Mai, still remembering his question from last night about whether she was asleep.
Li Mai did not reply.
Even if I was asleep last night, I should have replied when I saw this.
A cold-hearted woman!
“Auspicious words”.
Zhou Songyan looked up and saw Guan Qing. He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
