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

Even in the gloomy, gray sky after the onset of winter in December, she felt that the sun was rising upwards.

"Mr. Wen, your health still needs proper care. You'll need at least another two weeks to fully recover."

As they got into the van, Deng Lanlan, knowing what would probably happen after Wen Ling returned home, still offered a word of warning.

Wen Ling gave a light "hmm" and didn't say anything more. Her gaze kept wandering out the window, and the coldness on her face had dissipated considerably.

Deng Lanlan didn't say anything more, but silently tucked the blanket around Jiang Fengdie in her baby seat.

Although she envied Jiang Fengdie for being a child of the Wen family, who could live a life of ease and comfort from a young age, she also felt sorry for Jiang Fengdie.

From birth until now, my parents have been separated and have a strained relationship.

Indeed, no one's life is without its challenges...

Junlan Mansion consists of 7 villas.

Xia Yunxi, who was still sleeping in, vaguely heard a car horn outside the villa, followed by the sound of things being moved around, a rustling sound coming from the living room outside the door.

She, who was already a light sleeper, was suddenly awakened from her dream!

As she listened intently, Xia Yunxi keenly heard several heavy footsteps outside the door, along with the thud of high heels hitting the floor!

Xia Yunxi instantly threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, wrapped herself in a cotton coat, and rushed out in a hurry.

However, the moment Xia Yunxi opened the door and saw who it was, her breath caught in her throat!

It was Wen Ling, and her servants.

Behind her, a woman dressed as a white-collar worker was pushing a stroller. The curtain was drawn tightly, so you couldn't see what was inside.

Even so, Xia Yunxi knew that it was definitely Wen Ling's child.

And Jiang Ran's.

It has been almost a year since I returned to Junlan Mansion.

The villa looked much the same; the objects were stacked in the same places as before. Long-forgotten memories were instantly awakened. Looking at the living room where Jiang Ran used to live, the sofa they used to sit on together...

Wen Ling's gaze softened as she looked at Xia Yunxi and said with a light smile, "You've done a good job. I'll talk to Liu Wan about giving you a bonus later."

Wen Ling's voice rang out suddenly, echoing in the empty living room, startling Xia Yunxi awake instantly!

She nodded quickly, forcing a smile, and thanked Wen Ling, "Thank you, Miss Wen..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yunxi's gaze shifted to the stroller. Her expression was somewhat complicated as she asked, "Miss Wen, what is this...?"

"My daughter."

Mentioning Jiang Fengdie put Wen Ling in a good mood. She smiled and responded, her gaze softening even more, "You guys, put your things upstairs first!"

Wen Ling said, looking at Xia Yunxi, "Yunxi, this is Aunt Li. From now on, you can just follow her instructions for the work here."

It wasn't that she disliked the sudden appearance of a superior, but rather that she was shocked by how Wen Ling addressed her!

Almost a year ago, she took care of Wen Ling's daily life for more than half a month. At that time, Wen Ling was a cold and ruthless older sister in her eyes, a natural leader who never smiled.

But at this moment, she actually called her "Yunxi".

This is a very affectionate way of addressing someone...

"..."

When Xia Yunxi looked back at Wen Ling, who was gently holding the stroller and giving instructions to the servants behind her, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously clenched her fists, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

"Go ahead and get busy, I want to be alone for a while."

Wen Ling left those words and walked towards Jiang Ran's former bedroom.

This is the place where Jiang Ran's traces are most prominent.

Pushing open the bedroom door, the furnishings inside were still the same as before, clean and tidy, with no hint that anyone had ever lived there.

But feelings are never seen with the eyes, but rather exist in the mind.

Wen Ling could recall every little detail of Jiang Ran's life here...

She walked straight to the large bed in the center of the bedroom, sat down, looked around the room, and casually took out her phone from her pocket.

Wen Ling remembered that Jiang Ran usually woke up around this time in the morning because he had to get up to prepare goods and cook, and he had to rush to the construction site at 10:30 every day.

So he should be awake at this time.

When Wen Ling opened her WeChat chat with Jiang Ran, intending to reminisce about how the two of them first met, she discovered that their original chat history had been deleted.

The messages were formatted, and the entire chat window was blank.

Wen Ling's heart tightened instantly!

Where is the chat history?

She frantically swiped up repeatedly and then opened the chat history in the settings, but it was always blank!

Wen Zhi probably deleted all the chat logs because she was afraid that Wen Zhi would overthink things and affect her delivery.

Thinking about all this, Wen Ling clicked on Wen Zhi's profile picture, feeling both angry and speechless, and posted: [No next time!]

It's alright, she doesn't have them, but Jiang Ran still does. She can just forward the records over once she meets with Jiang Ran.

Wen Ling thought to herself, and then silently took off her shoes.

She snuggled into the bed Jiang Ran used to sleep in, wrapped herself in the blanket, and sent him a message: [When are you done with your work?]

While waiting for a reply, Wen Ling opened Jiang Ran's Douyin account.

The account named "Boxed Lunch Xiao Jiang" now has 700,000 followers. Each video is nearly 5 minutes long, and Wen Ling clicks on them one after another to watch them.

She watched like that until she fell asleep.

After a sleepless night, I finally arrived home and at dawn, and my whole body relaxed.

......

Jiang Ran was busy until 2:30 pm.

It wasn't until he finished his business, returned to his apartment, and sat on the toilet that he finally had time to properly check his phone.

However, what he saw startled him so much that he almost dropped his phone!

Wen L.: [When will you be finished with your work?]

Xia Yunxi: [Miss Wen is back... She really went to give birth... Jiang Ran, shouldn't you...]

Two messages appeared before Jiang Ran's eyes so brightly!

No, he had just discussed this matter with Xia Yunxi the afternoon before, so he had at least mentally prepared himself. Therefore, Jiang Ran was not too surprised that Wen Ling had disappeared to have a baby.

What surprised Jiang Ran, and even gave him the creeps, was the tone of the message Wen Ling sent!

"When will you be finished with your work?"

"Are you done with your work?"

"Ah~"

"..."

The last time they chatted was in March of last year, and all of Wen Ling's chat history with him was recorded on it, from when they first met until now!

Looking closely at those speechless replies, Wen Ling has never used such interjections before!

Especially that word "ya," Jiang Ran stared at it for a long time, and felt a chill run down his spine...
