Chapter 82 Why should I agree just because you want to reunite now?
Zhou Songyan stood next to Li Mai and made empty promises to her: "Mai Mai, once I learn to cook, I'll cook for you and Chengcheng, and you won't have to cook."
"Your face is so beautiful, it breaks my heart to see it covered in cooking fumes."
He then took the opportunity to touch Li Mai's hand.
“MaiMai, your hands are so smooth and delicate, you shouldn’t keep them wet all the time. I’ll wash the dishes from now on.”
Li Mai: "..."
She turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhou Songyan touched his face and blinked: "Am I handsome today? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Mai was completely speechless and turned her head away, ignoring her.
Zhou Songyan's smile vanished, his eyes darkening unfathomably.
He was filled with regret and wished he could kill himself.
But guilt is of no use.
All he can do now is to treat Lemaica even better.
Li Mai prepared lunch for the two of them in half an hour.
Zhou Songyan showered her with compliments once again.
Li Mai almost broke down and burst out laughing.
After dinner, Zhou Songyan insisted on washing the dishes.
Li Mai sat on the sofa and replied to the message.
Ji Wangyu also saw the news online.
[Li Mai, are you alright? Do you need any help?]
Li Mai replied: 【No need, Mr. Ji, I'm fine. I just wanted to take some time off to stay home and spend time with Chengcheng.】
Ji Wangyu: [Okay, call me if you need anything.]
【Thanks! 】
Zhou Songyan brought over a plate of sliced apples and glanced at the chat history.
She said sourly, "Why haven't you quit your job yet?"
Li Mai took the plate from his hand, forked a piece of apple, and put it in her mouth.
"Who said I'm going to resign? I'm not resigning!"
Zhou Songyan sat down next to her: "Mai Mai, Ji Wangyu's feelings for you are impure. It's dangerous for you to stay by his side. He's a big lecher!"
Li Mai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Zhou Songyan, don't you feel any remorse for talking badly about people behind their backs?"
"No, I didn't wrong him."
Li Mai was too lazy to argue with him.
"You should go home."
"I'm not going back. This will be my home from now on."
"Zhou Songyan, do you have any shame?"
"don't want!"
Li Mai: "..."
Shamelessness is invincible!
Zhou Songyan leaned closer and placed his large hand on Li Mai's waist: "Mai Mai, why don't you move to Chunfeng Road and live with me? It's spacious there, and you can save on rent."
Li Mai shook her head and removed his hand: "No, rent is a small matter, losing my virginity is a big matter."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
He was described as a lecherous man.
He pursed his lips: "I have other houses, you can choose any one to live in, is that alright?"
Li Mai shook her head while eating an apple: "No, I'm more at ease staying in my own little place."
“I have a villa on Qingshui Road, not far from here, about three kilometers away. I’ll transfer it to your name. You and Chengcheng can move there and live in your own house. Wouldn’t you feel more at ease?”
Li Mai resisted: "Zhou Songyan, I don't want your house."
Zhou Songyan's face darkened: "You broke up with me back then to marry a rich man, and now that I'm so wealthy and meet your criteria for a partner, you don't want anything from me. Li Mai, what exactly do you want?"
"Li Mai, I really don't understand you. What can I do to meet your requirements?"
Li Mai placed the plate on the coffee table, turned to look at him, and said, "Zhou Songyan, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Thoughts can change."
Zhou Songyan frowned: "You have me in your heart, which is why you gave birth to Chengcheng."
"Li Mai, what are you being so dramatic about?"
Li Mai's eyes reddened.
"Me, being dramatic? I am dramatic! I'm also incredibly stubborn."
"It's been five years. Have you ever thought about coming back to me?"
Zhou Songyan was speechless.
Li Mai gave a wry smile: "No! You wish I would never appear in front of you again, you never want to see me again."
"In these five years, I regret breaking up with you and regret saying those words so decisively. What you regret is meeting me and being with me."
"Why should I agree just because you want to reconcile now?"
"Yes, you are now the heir of the Beijing circle. You are rich, and the fact that you have taken a liking to me is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. I should be grateful to tears, happily rush into your arms, and rely on you to live a life of wealth and luxury."
“But Zhou Songyan, I don’t want to.”
She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Zhou Songyan shook his head: "Li Mai, it's not like that..."
He wanted to explain, but felt that any explanation would be inadequate.
In short, he was wrong.
Li Mai said in a low voice, "Zhou Songyan, you should leave. Our identities are just Chengcheng's parents, nothing more."
Zhou Songyan felt powerless and frustrated.
...
You Huan walked out of the company and saw Zhou Songyan, and was surprised.
She walked over: "Looking for me?"
Zhou Songyan nodded: "I want to know about Li Mai's experiences over the past five years."
You Huan raised an eyebrow: "You've come to the right person. No one knows more about Li Mai's affairs over the past few years than me."
"You should know how much of a jerk you've been these past few years."
...
In the coffee shop.
Zhou Songyan ordered a coffee for You Huan, indicating that they would have a long chat.
You Huan glanced at him: "It was a really stupid thing for you to hide your identity back then. If you hadn't hidden your identity, you two wouldn't have broken up."
Zhou Songyan's eyes darkened.
He regretted it, but what was done was done.
"Why did Li Mai break up with me? Does she really want to marry a rich man?"
You Huan sneered: "You've been with her for over a year, don't you know what kind of person she is?"
"I don't know the specific reason why she said that. Li Mai must have had her reasons."
Zhou Songyan gripped the cup tightly, his eyes filled with pain.
You Huan: "You said you disappeared after the breakup, and Li Mai was looking for you everywhere. You know, she came to Beijing with a big belly to ask me for help in finding you, but I couldn't help her. She wandered the streets every day, hoping to bump into you. How silly! She only stopped when she started bleeding and had to go to the hospital."
"She longs to see you, to tell you that she gave birth to Chengcheng, that you have a child, and that she hopes to reconcile with you."
"She searched for you so hard, and what about you? It was so easy for her to find you, but you didn't."
"Zhou Songyan, how can you be so resolute?"
"Li Mai didn't even have a proper postpartum confinement period after giving birth to Chengcheng because there was no one to take care of him. Do you know how hard she's had all these years?"
Zhou Songyan was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten his back.
With difficulty, she asked, "Where is Li Mai's mother? Isn't she in Suzhou? Didn't she offer any help?"
You Huan curled her lip slightly: "Her mother is practically nonexistent."
"Before giving birth, Li Mai called her mother and asked her to take care of Chengcheng for a few days after he was born. Her mother refused and they haven't been in contact for years."
"Her mother treated her very badly and didn't care about her much."
