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

This situation has been going on for a long time.

At first, it was alright, because I was worried that Jiang Ran was in the living room on the first floor, and I could see her as soon as I went downstairs, so I wasn't too upset.

But things are different now, because she knows Jiang Ran has moved away.

Those who stay where they are are often the ones who suffer the most.

Because the familiar environment was filled with traces of Jiang Ran's past life.

That night she caught a cold and developed a high fever. In her delirium, she couldn't recall the details clearly, but she still remembered that the table lamp was on that day.

In the warm yellow light, Jiang Ran, with his fluffy head, squatted by the bedside, holding a bowl of water and a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Wen Ling remembers the soft, furry feel of it.

His hair was fluffy and warm, like a brown bear's...

"Snapped!"

The book that Wen Ling slammed shut was thrown onto the table!

The more I try not to think about it, the more those images seem to rush into my brain like crazy, playing on and on all the time!

Her gaze fell on her phone, and almost unconsciously, Wen Ling couldn't resist opening the phone and placing her index finger on the monitoring app.

As if she had made up her mind, she swiped down and tapped the app.

Wen Ling hadn't checked the surveillance footage in a long time.

She only installed a surveillance camera in the living room, and the camera only showed the area from the living room to the corner of the dining room. The camera footage on her phone screen remained continuous, showing the scene in the living room on the first floor.

The living room was dark, with only the night vision camera's view; it was quiet and empty.

She turned on the pop-up mode, and the screen appeared in the upper right corner of the phone, with the time for selecting the monitoring date below.

Wen Ling skillfully flipped to the time two weeks ago, and just as she was about to open it, she noticed that the light in the video window suddenly turned on!

Then, Xia Yunxi, wrapped in a white cotton coat, walked quickly ahead and said something to the person behind her with a smile.

Is that Jiang Ran?!

Wen Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the small window to enlarge it, then turned her phone horizontally to make the video full-screen.

To her disappointment, the person following Xia Yunxi was not Jiang Ran, but a young-looking boy in a uniform.

She did not allow Xia Yunxi to bring other people into the house at will!

Wen Ling frowned and raised her voice.

"Thank you for helping me move these things."

Wen Ling heard Xia Yunxi's voice on the phone. In the video, she saw Xia Yunxi take a bottle from a milk carton on the ground and hand it to her.

Zhang Tao's voice rang out immediately after: "Hey! It's all only right. I already told Brother Jiang that if he needs anything, he can just come to me, but he always refuses. This thing isn't that heavy, it's nothing!"

Brother Jiang...?

Jiang Ran?

Wen Ling keenly caught the word and quickly zoomed in on her phone screen, the image focusing on a pile of boxes in the corner of the living room.

The bright red box looked like something given as a holiday gift. Wen Ling immediately thought of the Moutai and cigarettes Jiang Ran had brought to her family when they went home together...

This is indeed something Jiang Ran would buy, and it's also his style!

"Here you go! I can't let you make this trip and put in so much effort only to leave nothing behind, can I?"

In the video, Xia Yunxi's voice rang out as she clutched a bottle of milk and shoved it into Zhang Tao's arms.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. When Brother Jiang gets back, just tell him to let me know in the meantime for things like this in the future. No need to be polite!"

Zhang Tao's voice rang out again. He took the milk and turned to leave.

Wen Ling hurriedly got up and rushed to the French windows!

She lifted the milky-white curtains and saw Zhang Tao outside the villa get on his security patrol car. After the car beeped twice, it drove off into the distance.

Jiang Ran didn't come back.

But judging from their conversation just now, those things were indeed bought by Jiang Ran!

So, those things were bought for her by Jiang Ran on purpose?!

Wen Ling unconsciously curled the corners of her lips, and her originally irritable mood instantly improved a lot!

It's rare to see Jiang Ran being so kind; he even knows that the New Year is coming soon and he still thinks of buying her and Chen Jingyu some things!

However, Wen Ling was still somewhat unhappy about the fact that the things meant for her were being given to the security guards.

She went straight out of the bedroom, sat down in the living room, and waited quietly for Xia Yunxi to bring those things up.

However, they waited until well past midnight.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Completely exhausted, Wen Ling suddenly stood up!

She turned on the living room monitor again, only to find that the lights in the first-floor living room were off.

Those things are still piled up on the living room floor, filling up the corner of the living room.

Is Xia Yunxi planning to bring it up to her tomorrow morning?

The night was quiet.

Except for night owls who like to stay up late, everyone else is already asleep.

At this time of day, even if she tosses and turns, Wen Ling would already be asleep in bed. But today, she hasn't taken a bath yet.

Then let's wait until tomorrow morning!

When Xia Yunxi comes up again, she will ask her why the gift she was given took so long to arrive.

Incidentally, she felt she needed to reiterate to Xia Yunxi that she could bother her anytime regarding matters concerning Jiang Ran!

Wen Ling's eyes darkened, and she turned off the monitoring equipment and returned to her bedroom.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

The next morning, when Xia Yunxi brought breakfast upstairs, she saw Wen Ling sitting upright at the coffee table in the second-floor living room, wearing a gray-white velvet nightgown. Her hair was disheveled, she had dark circles under her eyes, her face was pale, but her eyes were incredibly sinister!

On the coffee table in front of her were several plates of food wrapped in plastic wrap.

Seeing this, Xia Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that Wen Ling must not have eaten the dinner that Assistant Liu brought yesterday.

"Miss Wen, these dishes are all cold. Should we throw them away or should I reheat them for you for lunch?"

Xia Yunxi asked aloud, holding onto the cart, which contained a freshly prepared breakfast for the day.

Wen Ling did not answer her immediately; she just stared at Xia Yunxi with a probing look in her eyes.

The atmosphere was eerily silent, as if they were facing the company's boss.

Xia Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and asked with some concern, "Miss Wen... did you not sleep well last night?"

"..."

Wen Ling stared at her, scrutinizing her for a long time, before finally speaking impatiently, "Where are the things?"
