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

Everything was brand new, and they were quite quick.

"Okay, let's put it in the bedroom."

Wen Ling responded, but instead of rushing back to the bedroom, she went straight to the sofa and sat down, looking at Jiang Ran in a commanding tone: "Come and sit down."

It was already 9 p.m.

At this time of day, Jiang Ran would usually be in bed, drifting off to sleep, because she would have to get up early to go to the market to buy groceries.

He goes to bed early and wakes up early, so his time difference is already stable.

However, the tension tonight replaced my sleepiness.

Jiang Ran wasn't sleepy yet.

He responded and sat down on the sofa opposite Wen Ling. He watched as Wen Ling picked up the teapot in front of her, pressed a hidden button on the coffee table, and the teapot gradually boiled.

Is this a tea party?

This sentence popped into Jiang Ran's mind.

However, noticing that Wen Ling didn't seem to intend to speak, Jiang Ran remained silent for a moment before quietly taking out his phone.

On the phone screen was a message from Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi: [Jiang Ran, are you in bed yet? I shared a video with you on Douyin, why didn't you watch it?]

Xia Yunxi: [How strange, everyone seems so busy today, but I've been quite free...]

Xia Yunxi: [Jiang Ran, why aren't you replying to my messages?]

The last message was sent at 8:00 AM.

Jiang Ran was having dinner with Wen Ling's family at the restaurant at that time, so he didn't see them at all!

Jiang Ran placed her phone under the table and replied to a message: [Sorry, I was too busy today and didn't have time to check my phone...]

Xia Yunxi replied almost instantly: [Too busy... It's okay, actually I kind of wish I could be busy, being busy is good...]

"You don't need to be so careful when using your phone."

The moment the message popped up, Wen Ling's voice rang out, startling Jiang Ran!

His hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground with a "thud".

The sound came suddenly, and Wen Ling's gaze fell on the ground, where she saw a screen filled with densely packed green and white chat boxes.

Jiang Ran picked up the phone so quickly that Wen Ling didn't see who it was.

But at this moment, he still had to reply to other people's messages. Wen Ling felt as if something was blocking her chest, making it hard to breathe.

Are you chatting with someone?

This was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to ask Jiang Ran such a question.

There was a strong hint of jealousy in her words, but Jiang Ran was still embarrassed by being caught playing on her phone and by the fact that her phone had fallen, so she didn't detect any jealousy in her voice.

He gave a hasty "hmm," as this was, in itself, his personal matter.

But Wen Ling didn't think so.

In reality, Jiang Ran was with her, but behind her back, he was secretly chatting with someone else.

Could it be that Jiang Ran already has other girls' contact information?

The moment that thought popped into my head, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into my heart!

Wen Ling frowned, biting her lip as she looked at Jiang Ran, "If... I mean if."

"Please speak."

"If I successfully get pregnant, what do you plan to do after we divorce?"

She gritted her teeth, her tentative gaze landing on Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran had already thought this through clearly, and without hesitation, he replied, "I'll just keep running my stall!"

"...Aren't we going to talk about it anymore?"

The words seemed to burst from between her teeth. Wen Ling clenched her fist at her side, her fingertips digging into her palm, and her whole hand trembled slightly.

When this was mentioned, Jiang Ran naturally thought of Xia Yunxi.

However, due to his conversation with Xia Yunxi a few days ago, Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and he only said, "Let's talk about that later. When the time is right, let things take their natural course."

"Then let's not get a divorce!"

Wen Ling's voice lowered. She looked away, staring at the boiling teapot in front of her, deliberately avoiding looking at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran shrugged indifferently and said, "If we don't want to divorce, then we don't. Anyway, you're not pregnant yet!"

"..."

She's pregnant.

Moreover, I went to the hospital early this morning for a detailed examination.

The implantation reaction has been showing for a few days now, which is the time when she and Jiang Ran were together last time.

She didn't feel the joy of becoming a mother for the first time; the only thing she felt was the desire to mend her relationship with Jiang Ran and the fact that she had just discovered he had other people he was chatting with.

She didn't want to, regardless of gender.

She didn't want Jiang Ran to chat with others. If Jiang Ran had anything to say, he could talk to her. She would solve the problems and listen to his emotions.

It's just too embarrassing to say such things out loud.

Wen Ling remained silent for a long time, unable to cross the chasm that stood in her heart!

"Would you like some late-night snack? I noticed you ate very little for dinner."

She struggled to find a topic to talk about, and when the topic of late-night snacks came up, Wen Ling perked up again. "Perfect timing, we have some aged wine at home, you can try some."

"Oh? You're not drinking anymore... Sister Wen, you're on your period, so it's probably better to avoid cold drinks, right?"

Jiang Ran blinked, looking at Wen Ling with some surprise.

Based on the timeline, this should be the time when Wen Ling normally gets her period, which is why she isn't pregnant!

I almost forgot about that!

Wen Ling angrily punched the sofa, concluding with a final thud: "Then let's go to sleep!"

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up!

The kettle on the coffee table had just started to steam a little, and before I could even drink it, I had to go inside again?

Seeing Wen Ling walking quickly towards the bedroom, Jiang Ran, afraid that she would get lost later, had no choice but to get up and follow.

The bedroom layout is similar to the living room. The bed is close to the wall, and the green plants by the window on the other side are quite lush. The air conditioner has been on for a while, so the room is very warm.

Standing at the door, Jiang Ran hesitated and asked, "Um, who should take a shower first?"

Seeing Wen Ling walk straight to the bed and sit down, Jiang Ran instantly understood.

He stopped hesitating and hurried to the bathroom.

The maid had already prepared all the toiletries for Jiang Ran's morning routine, so she didn't think much of it and prepared to start washing up after closing the bathroom door.

Hearing the "splashing" sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Wen Ling's gaze darkened and fell on the bed that had already been made.

She hadn't slept in the same bed with Jiang Ran for a long time.

Wen Ling's current feelings are hard to describe in words; she is filled with anticipation, nervousness, and even a little bit of shame at realizing that she is too excited.

The touch of Jiang Ran's fluffy hair on the soft bedding in his palm felt like just a second ago. A tingling, electric-like sensation surged from his palm to his heart, making Wen Ling feel hot all over.

She was trying very hard to calm herself down and think things through.

She was contemplating whether to sleep inside or outside tonight.

If she slept on the inside, and Jiang Ran insisted on sleeping on the outside, she didn't seem to have a good reason to get close to him.

Then I'll just sleep outside!

She'll sleep outside... until tomorrow morning. If Jiang Ran wakes up and tries to get up, he'll wake her up...
