The Arranged Marriage - Chapter 39

Zhang Lihua blushed slightly when she heard Madam Li words.

She looked at them and replied curiously “I didn’t know you people would be visiting” She really wanted to know why they were here

Her mother smiled “we heard that Li Cheng went on a business trip so we thought you will lonely since the cleaners and Madam Zhu don’t live here, so we decided to come and keep you company”

Madam Li nodded and added “We will leave tomorrow morning”

In reality, Li Cheng had called Madam Zhang and asked her to visit Zhang Lihua since he was traveling on a business trip. Madam Zhang called Madam Li and asked her to accompany her, Madam Li agreed immediately, she was fond of her daughter inlaw. She didn’t get the opportunity to bear another child after the birth of Li Cheng and really wished she had a daughter, so she took Lihua as her daughter.

Madam Li and Madam Zhang were close friends from childhood and they acted like sisters, that was why it wasn’t difficult for the Zhang family to ask for Li Cheng’s help.

“Thank you mother and mother in-law, let me go and have my bath”

Zhang Lihua showered and returned to the living room.

The 3 women chatted happily as they ate together, the house felt lively once more but Zhang Lihua kept thinking about Li Cheng.

After chatting for hours, Madam Zhang and Madam Li went to the guest room while Zhang Lihua returned to the bedroom.

She tossed on the bed as she found it difficult to fall asleep.

She couldn’t even fall asleep just because she was thinking about Li Cheng.

She heard her phone ringing and frowned slightly, who will be calling her by this time of the night? She picked up her phone, when she saw the caller ID she smiled widely. It was Li Cheng, she had been expecting his call the whole day.

“Hello” His hoarse voice rang through the other side of the phone

Zhang Lihua smiled and asked “How are you? How was your trip?”

Instead of answering her questions, he asked her another question “Why haven’t you slept?”

“Sorry I didn’t call when I arrived, I had an emergency meeting and it lasted for hours”

Why was he apologizing? She wasn’t angry.

“It’s fine, have you eaten?”

“Yes, did your mother visit you at home today?”

“Yes, she came with your mother, are you the one that asked her to visit me?”

“Yes, I didn’t want you to feel lonely when Madam Zhu left and I also didn’t want you to take any alcoholic drink.”

Li Cheng knew that with her mother and mother in-law around, she wouldn’t be able to take anything with alcohol no matter how sad she was.

Zhang Lihua blushed “Thank you, you should rest now, you had a long meeting during the day”

“Okay, good night wifey”

Zhang Lihua cheeks were still red even when she hanged up, the word ‘wifey’ was still ringing in her head. Why was she feeling so happy and warm when she heard those words? Maybe she was already falling for him.

She was no longer the cold Zhang Lihua, she was completely weak in front of Li Cheng.

Zhang Lihua fell asleep immediately, maybe it was because Li Cheng called or maybe it was because he called her ‘wifey’.
