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

Isn't this a clear indication that he likes her?

Although I am very happy, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.

Xia Yunxi pursed her lips and asked again, "What did you say to Miss Wen? What were your requirements if you wanted to terminate the contract?"

"Anyway, I'm planning to leave with nothing."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Ran blurted out, "The plan was ruined because of the unforeseen circumstances I caused, so I have no reason to take her things!"

There was less than 500,000 yuan left in the card Wen Zhi gave him last time. Wen Ling didn't know about this money, and he didn't intend to give it to Wen Ling.

With this money, plus what he has left, and even with his short video business starting to take off and he'll soon be able to take on GG, turning a loss into a profit, his life is just beginning. Whether he gets that villa or not is none of his concern!

The moment he finished speaking, Xia Yunxi's expression turned somewhat surprised, "Leave with... nothing?"

She murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ran.

"That's right! I have no use for that house. Even if I got it, I would still have to sell it eventually. Besides, it was a variable for me to deal with, so why would I want that house?"

"..."

Not receiving a reply from Xia Yunxi, Jiang Ran noticed that her expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Yunxi, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

Xia Yunxi shook her head, her face pale, and said, "I just think that if we had that house, even if we sold it after we got together, we'd at least have some start-up capital, right?"

"I already have the startup capital, so you don't need to worry about that!"

Jiang Ran expressed his understanding and offered a brief explanation with a smile.

But Xia Yunxi shook her head: "Not enough."

"?"

"What I mean is, if we don't have enough money, we won't be able to handle unexpected risks..."

Seeing Jiang Ran's confused expression, Xia Yunxi explained, "Jiang Ran, we're in Beijing now, and the expenses here are huge. This era isn't very friendly to entrepreneurs. If something unexpected happens, it won't be good if we don't have enough funds to support us..."

She felt that she had seen and knew more about this than Jiang Ran.

Although she was somewhat reluctant for Jiang Ran and Wen Ling to continue doing that kind of thing, Xia Yunxi didn't think it was shameful at all if she could make money through it, and it was a considerable sum of money.

For her, as long as Jiang Ran's heart is with her, that's enough.

Jiang Ran could understand Xia Yunxi's sudden words, but they were still somewhat unexpected!

"Wait, Yunxi, why are you suddenly explaining all this to me?"

"I......"

Xia Yunxi paused, subconsciously biting her lip. Then, as if making a decision, she said, "What I meant was, you can stop doing this for me for now. Just think of it as going to make money, and talk to her about..."

"?!"

Jiang Ran's eyes widened instantly!

No, what nonsense is she spouting?!

He thought Wen Ling had gone crazy after talking to her on the phone, but after talking to Xia Yunxi for a few minutes, he felt that Xia Yunxi had gone crazy too!

What are they even talking about?!

Seeing Jiang Ran's astonished and dumbfounded expression, Xia Yunxi steeled her heart, suddenly pounded her knee, and said, "Hey! Don't you understand? From the moment I first met you, I thought you were being kept by Miss Wen!"

"Actually, Jiang Ran, we're not young anymore, and we've seen a lot in society. The job market is tough these days. To be honest, I don't think being a kept man is shameful; knowing how to do it is a real skill. So after I found out that you and Ms. Wen had a contractual relationship, I kept telling you that I didn't mind. I really didn't mind!"

Her expression was very serious, as if the truth was perfectly natural, and she just went on and on like that.

These words had a tremendous impact on Jiang Ran's values.

He still looked at Xia Yunxi with that bewildered expression, even trying to discern something different from her face, but she remained so focused, her eyes sparkling with determination.

At this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly began to doubt himself.

He began to wonder if he was out of touch with the times.

Has being a kept man become a perfectly legitimate profession now?!

"Honestly, Jiang Ran, you don't need to worry about me or think about me too much. Although I get jealous about this, I think the most important thing in life is to make money!"

Xia Yunxi's eyes were serious!

This is the world she sees!

In this society, you can't get by without money!

Just like her and Jiang Ran are together, they will get married and have children in the future. If they have children, they will definitely want to provide them with a better living environment. They will definitely want to live in Beijing and have a Beijing household registration. After that, all kinds of expenses for the children, buying cars and houses, and all aspects of life, cannot be done without money!

Dating is dating, and marriage is marriage; these are two completely different concepts.

Although she could accompany Jiang Ran to start from scratch and build a business from nothing, no matter how hard they started, they should still have some basic capital, right?

Xia Yunxi knew the value of the villa in Junlan Mansion. Such a large fortune was within reach; all Jiang Ran needed to do was work hard.

Isn't this a form of joint entrepreneurship?

As long as Jiang Ran likes her, and she likes Jiang Ran too, they are a couple of one mind!

"..."

Money is indeed important, but...

Jiang Ran looked at Xia Yunxi with a somewhat complicated expression. "You mean, I shouldn't stop, but continue with the contract, and then divorce her and divide the assets?"

"As long as you finish it, you deserve it!"

Xia Yunxi blurted it out.

Seeing her straightforward expression, Jiang Ran fell silent for a moment.

He couldn't help but feel that something was off about what Xia Yunxi had said and the point she made today...

"Anyway, I'm fine! Just focus on completing the task as Miss Wen instructed. I can wait. I have a job now, and I need to save money. By the time you've completed the task and I've saved enough to leave home, we can be together!"

Although she talked in circles for a long time, Xia Yunxi felt that she had thought it through very clearly!

As long as she and Jiang Ran are of one mind and work together, then no difficulty is insurmountable!

The atmosphere froze; Jiang Ran had been completely drawn into Xia Yunxi's theory.

On the surface, her words seemed harmless, but Jiang Ran felt as if something was amiss.

For a moment, his brain was working frantically, the computer was practically burning out, but he still couldn't figure out where the problem was...

Could it be that he really has a problem, and Xia Yunxi and Wen Ling are the normal ones?
