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

"Clatter!"

The bathroom door opened.

Lost in thought, Wen Ling didn't notice that Jiang Ran was already standing beside her.

A light shampoo scent filled the air. The moment Wen Ling smelled it, she subconsciously turned her head and bumped into Jiang Ran, who was wrapped in a men's bathrobe.

His hair was wet, with strands dripping from his forehead. Looking down, his Adam's apple was slightly raised at the base of his tanned neck, and down to his waist, which was cinched with a belt.

Jiang Ran was holding a bath towel, drying his hair with his head tilted to the side, and asked in confusion, "Sister Wen, aren't you going to take a shower?"

"..."

Wen Ling's cheeks flushed like a boiling kettle, and with her head buzzing, she hurriedly stood up. "Go now."

As if fleeing, Jiang Ran only saw her move quickly, and she even twisted her ankle when she took a step!

Jiang Ran subconsciously reached out to help her, but as soon as his hand brushed against her arm, Wen Ling, like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, forcefully shook off his hand and rushed into the bathroom.

With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut, echoing throughout the bedroom!

"For no reason at all..."

Looking towards the bathroom, Jiang Ran murmured something, then sat down on the chair next to the bed and plugged in the hairdryer.

His hair is short, so it's easy to blow-dry; it only takes about three minutes.

Listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Jiang Ran's gaze fell on the bed.

There were no extra blankets on the bed, but there was a rug on the sofa not far away.

Remembering that Wen Ling was currently unwell, Jiang Ran felt it was best to stay away from her for the time being.

After all, when a girl has her period, her emotions can become unpredictable due to hormonal fluctuations.

Just like Wen Ling just now, who knows what he might do wrong and he'll be in trouble!

Jiang Ran knew that he was staying at Yunqi Villa tonight, and the only person he could rely on was Wen Ling. To avoid disturbing Wen Ling's peace and quiet, Jiang Ran sensibly went to the sofa.

He's decided. He'll sleep on the sofa tonight; there's a blanket, and the heating's on all the time...

in the bathroom.

The shower was running at full speed, but Wen Ling stood in front of the sink for a long time without moving.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and whether it was from the hot wind or not, her cheeks were very red, as red as cherries.

The sensation of that moment is still lingering on my arm.

Jiang Ran was very strong; it was just a conditioned reflex, and she unconsciously shook her off...

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of running water couldn't mask her racing heartbeat. Wen Ling braced her hands on the sink, brought her face close to the mirror, and carefully examined herself.

What is she so nervous about?

What's there to be nervous about? They've already done that kind of thing before, haven't they?

As her brain raced, Wen Ling suddenly noticed the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

She hadn't noticed it before, partly because she didn't look in the mirror often. Her self-image had always been stuck at 20 years old. To be honest, with her work schedule packed full over the years, she hadn't even realized that a wrinkle had appeared at the corner of her eye...

I'm indeed approaching thirty; time treats everyone equally.

Although her face still had collagen, the wrinkle made her look several years older.

The image of Jiang Ran's still somewhat immature face, which had only recently graduated from university, flashed through his mind, and an unprecedented sense of crisis arose within him!

If they really get divorced, there will be absolutely no possibility of a future together between her and Jiang Ran...

She is no longer the vibrant young woman of twenty, and cannot resonate with Jiang Ran. This is her biggest disadvantage!

Wen Ling's eyes darkened, her fingers hooking around her collar as she slowly removed her clothes...

After finally finishing washing up, she even dried her hair in the bathroom, applied a face mask, and carefully applied hair oil to the ends of her hair.

After a wonderful bath, Wen Ling placed her hand on the bathroom doorknob, took a deep breath, and pulled open the bathroom door in one go!

However, just as she stepped out of the bathroom, ready to face Jiang Ran, she noticed a large bulge on the sofa the instant she stepped out of the bathroom door.

Jiang Ran fell asleep on the sofa.

She was still planning how to discuss with Jiang Ran whether to sleep inside or outside...

Is there something wrong with what she did?

This angered Jiang Ran, who refused to sleep in the same bed with her even though they were in the same room...

Wen Ling approached the sofa, her gaze falling on Jiang Ran.

He was turned to the side, his face turned inward, his hands gripping the edge of the blanket, his whole body curled up into a ball.

The sofa in the bedroom wasn't small, but it still felt a bit cramped for Jiang Ran, who was 1.8 meters tall.

Wen Ling raised her hand, wanting to pat Jiang Ran's shoulder to wake him up and ask him why he wasn't sleeping in bed, but she stopped halfway through raising her hand.

What's the point of waking him up like this?

Is she anxious, or is she overly eager?

If I were to wake her up in a hurry now, wouldn't that make her seem anxious?

Jiang Ran isn't in a hurry, so why is she in such a rush...?

Too shameful!

In short, that's it.

Wen Ling couldn't lower her stance. She couldn't overcome the mental barrier in her heart, nor could she accept how Jiang Ran would take advantage of her, mock her, or act recklessly if she showed any anxiety...

Forget it.

Wen Ling's eyes darkened, completely unaware of her own hidden rivalry.

She didn't wake Jiang Ran, but silently reached out to tuck the blanket around him, then turned and went to bed.

At night, the AI ​​detected that the homeowner had fallen asleep and turned off the main lights and curtains.

The entire villa was unusually quiet, a stark contrast to its appearance during the day.

The next morning.

When Wen Ling woke up, she was drowsy for a while, but then her mind cleared up and she immediately sat up. When she saw that the big bulge on the sofa was still there, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ran was not woken up.

Wen Ling quietly got out of bed. She moved very lightly and did not choose to wash up in the bathroom in the bedroom, but went to the bathroom in the living room.

When she returned from washing up, she saw that Jiang Ran had already woken up, holding a mobile phone in his hand, his fingers flying across the screen as he typed.

As soon as I woke up, I was in a hurry to send messages to others!

Wen Ling's eyes darkened, and without even realizing it, she said sarcastically, "You seem to be very busy."

"well enough......"

Jiang Ran scratched his head, threw off the blanket and sat up. "By the way, Sister Wen, has the chef prepared a boxed lunch for me? It takes at least an hour to get here, and I have to leave by 9:30 at the latest."

Jiang Ran was in a hurry.

He didn't ask for leave in the group chat, and many workers would wait at his stall, as he didn't want to keep them waiting too long.

You're in such a hurry to leave right after you just got up...

Wen Ling's mood was absolutely terrible!

"Have breakfast before you leave!"

She retorted, even with a hint of jealousy, "Skipping one meal won't kill you!"
