After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

(Please give me some ideas, thank you~(づ￣ 3￣)づ)

(This story leans towards delicate emotions. The female lead is initially very aloof and slightly arrogant, but after an arranged marriage, she develops into a sly and obsessive character who enjoys secretly monitoring the male lead... well, she's pretty twisted~)

(The author also teaches students and writes part-time. This is a story with a strong female lead. If you don't like this kind of story, you can skip it. If you do like it, please give it a good review. Writing is hard work, so please don't leave malicious negative reviews. Thank you.)

(As usual, the main focus is on the sassiness~)

(Also, there are already completed novels with over a million words on my homepage, so feel free to follow them. Reading is for fun, and I hope everyone can be happy, rich, and prosperous!!!)

"I don't need a dowry, but I can provide you with a house to live in and a monthly living allowance."

In the Cloud Cafe, Jiang Ran stared incredulously at Wen Ling, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in an elegant and capable manner, sitting across from him.

Adjusting her gold-rimmed glasses, Wen Ling's icy voice descended once more: "However, after we get married, I hope we won't interfere in each other's personal lives!"

She was elegant, dressed in a sharp white suit, sitting upright on the sofa, her long black hair pulled up high, her sharp eyes carrying an undeniable command!

Jiang Ran was already shocked to see that his blind date was such a stunningly beautiful and aloof woman, but he never expected that she would also...

Giving away freebies?

Faced with Wen Ling's icy expression, Jiang Ran momentarily wondered if she had been scammed!

"I haven't been finding a job very smoothly, and I've been living off my parents at home. My plan in the short term is to set up a food stall or something. I only have five thousand yuan in savings right now."

Jiang Ran spoke calmly and earnestly, stating the facts.

The implication is that I'm penniless, and this little bit of money is only enough to pay for today's coffee. There's no need for me to lie to you, is there?

Money is not a problem.

Wen Ling's voice remained cold, "If you need it, I can provide you with some start-up capital."

Her expression was unusually serious, making the coffee shop around her seem as imposing as a company conference room.

Jiang Ran unconsciously sat up straight.

"You've said so much, so what do you need me to do after we marry?"

Now that we've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?

Jiang Ran didn't believe in free lunches. He figured it was either a scam, a pretext for debt, or someone trying to use him as a legal representative. These days, people's hearts are filthy...

However, Wen Ling's next words interrupted Jiang Ran's thoughts, leaving him completely stunned!

"I only have one request: I want a child."

It was visibly clear that Wen Ling, who had been so cold just moments before, blushed as she spoke these words.

Jiang Ran was dumbfounded!

Good heavens, where did this female bodhisattva come from?!

She's so good-looking, she doesn't want a dowry, she even gives money, just to have a baby?!

Wen Ling raised her hand, her fair French manicured nails lightly touching the table, and stated in a calm tone, "I'm already 29 years old this year, and my work is becoming more stable. For the sake of future stable development, I need to settle down with my child as soon as possible and focus on my career."

It didn't feel like a blind date at all; her calm tone made it sound like she was negotiating a business conference.

Jiang Ran felt a chill run down her spine.

Although he feels like he's hit the jackpot, this luck is just too incredible; he's honestly a little hesitant to accept it...

After composing himself, Jiang Ran asked curiously, "May I ask why you chose me?"

Given the conditions Wen Ling mentioned, probably no man would refuse, yet now they've fallen on his shoulders.

For a moment, Jiang Ran even felt that he wasn't qualified enough...

You are six years younger than me.

Wen Ling didn't hesitate at all, just as her parents had told her to do at home.

Men should be chosen because they are young, immature, and easy to manipulate.

Most importantly, he has a strong temper.

Jiang Ran: "Anything else?"

"You have had excellent grades since childhood, gave up the opportunity to pursue a master's degree, and graduated from Peking University as an outstanding student. You are 1.85 meters tall, of standard weight, and have an outstanding appearance."

Wen Ling spoke calmly, staring intently at Jiang Ran's still somewhat college-aged, clear and youthful face, recounting Jiang Ran's past glorious achievements word by word!

"Did you know that I had an ex-girlfriend I dated for three years?"

Swallowing hard, Jiang Ran still truthfully reported his situation.

After all, from the description of the beautiful woman in front of him, he could guess that she must have investigated his background from the beginning.

There's no need to hide it.

Wen Ling didn't speak, but her brows furrowed slightly.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Feeling rather uneasy, Jiang Ran quickly explained, "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand. My ex and I haven't had that kind of relationship. After all, we're not married, are we?"

He chuckled awkwardly and continued, "She was my high school classmate. We started dating after we went to college, and it lasted for over three years. Well, we broke up after graduation..."

Jiang Ran was somewhat indignant when this was mentioned.

His family wasn't particularly wealthy. Like his ex-girlfriend Qin Yiyao, he came from a small county. Their families lived close by, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Back in high school, he and Qin Yiyao often went to and from school together. Later, they were both admitted to Beijing's top university. Out of a sense of responsibility, he always fulfilled Qin Yiyao's requests, and they eventually started dating.

Until their senior year, Qin Yiyao was selected by a top 100 company because of her excellent grades, while he failed to get into a top 500 company because his major was not a good fit.

From then on, Qin Yiyao became somewhat arrogant and unrealistic, and she looked down on him in various ways.

In addition, Jiang Ran's company recently declared bankruptcy, and having lost his status as a recent graduate, he found it difficult to find a job with the same salary, forcing him to stay at home and rely on his parents for support.

During this time away from home, Qin Yiyao's parents heard about his situation again, and the marriage that the two families had agreed upon was called off.

Thinking back to what Qin Yiyao had said to him back then, Jiang Ran even felt like cursing. For so many years, whatever Qin Yiyao wanted, he had tried his best to give her, even sacrificing sleep and working part-time jobs, and this was the end result...

"oh."

After listening to Jiang Ran's account, Wen Ling's furrowed brows relaxed. She nodded and suddenly asked, "Between the two of you, who pursued whom?"

"Uh... I think it was me who pursued her..."

Jiang Ran was momentarily speechless when Wen Ling asked such a question, but she quickly answered.

After all, in addition to his kindness to Qin Yiyao over the years, his family has also provided her with a lot of financial support. His parents have treated Qin Yiyao almost like their own daughter.

"You've been pursuing her for three years?"

"Should I call it that?"

Jiang Ran murmured to himself, "Including high school, he did indeed pay for all their expenses during their relationship."

Should this be considered pursuing someone?

"fine."

To Jiang Ran's surprise, Wen Ling nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Okay...what?"

Jiang Ran was stunned.

As if looking at her younger brother, Wen Ling praised him calmly and without changing her expression, "It shows that you are a very loyal person and will not have any ulterior motives."

"..."

"If you agree to my requirements above, we can go get our marriage certificate now."

Seeing Jiang Ran's stunned expression, Wen Ling raised her hand and tapped the phone screen, glancing at the time on the screen, and said calmly, "It's 4 p.m. now, and there's still an hour and a half before the Civil Affairs Bureau closes. It will take us about half an hour to drive there. Plus, we need to take ID photos and sign documents when we get the certificate. All things considered, you only have half an hour to think it over at most."

Her tone was calm, as if she were planning a routine.

No way, this woman really treats marriage and having children as a trivial matter?!

Jiang Ran was finally breaking down. "Sis, this isn't a question of whether I want to think about it or not; it's a question of whether you're serious!"

"I'm very serious."
