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

Is this still Wen Ling?!

Jiang Ran clicked on Wen Ling's profile picture and looked at it several times.

Yes, it's her!

"..."

Could it be that Wen Ling's phone was taken by Wen Zhi?!

Subconsciously, the thought popped into Jiang Ran's mind. After all, the only person around Wen Ling who would speak to her in such a tone was Wen Zhi...

He hurriedly clicked on Wen Zhi's profile picture and asked, "[Sister Wen Zhi, did you take Sister Wen Ling's phone?]"

The message seemed to sink without a trace; for a full ten minutes of anxious waiting, Wen Zhi didn't reply with a single word.

That's true, it seems that a mobile phone can only log in to one WeChat account for the time being, right?

Thinking this, Jiang Ran clicked on Wen Ling's profile picture and replied: [Uh... is there something you need?]

Junlan Mansion Villa.

Startled awake by her phone ringing, Wen Ling saw Jiang Ran's reply.

Although somewhat confused, she still typed a line while half-asleep.

Wen L.: [I'm back now. Just wondering when you're coming home.]

Go back to... go back to which home?

Jiang Ran has two homes: one is his parents' home in a small county town next to Beijing, and the other is the apartment he is currently renting.

Besides these, the only place that can truly be called "home" is the Junlan Mansion villa, which has been sealed in my memory for a long time and has never been opened.

That was his and Wen Ling's wedding room.

Although Jiang Ran had realized that the person on the other end of the chat window was Wen Ling, she still couldn't accept that "ya" tone.

Hoping that Wen Zhi was just teasing him, Jiang Ran scratched his head and replied, "[Sis, can you please stop joking with me?]"

Please, it has to be Wen Zhi, you bastard!

Jiang Ran silently recited the message to himself, staring intently at the chat box. However, the next second, a message popped up, startling Jiang Ran so much that he almost fell off the toilet!

Wen L: [I'm not kidding, are you done with your work right now?]

No, these are words spoken by Wen Ling?!

Jiang Ran found it hard to believe that the usually aloof woman would ask such a caring question.

He placed his phone on the small stool in front of his legs and stared at the phone screen as he got up from the toilet.

Damn, he was so scared he couldn't even poop...

As I came out of the bathroom, Wen Ling's message popped up again.

Wen L.: [Hmm? Why aren't you replying? Are you still busy right now?]

As if it were a deadly pursuit, Jiang Ran felt his scalp tingle.

He thought for a moment, then typed with trembling fingers: [Sister, we haven't been in touch lately, have you given birth yet?]

It seems Wen Zhi was right; she did indeed tell Jiang Ran that she was pregnant.

Wen Ling was very satisfied.

Having regained consciousness, she sat up and replied with a serious smile: "[Yes, I gave birth. It's a daughter.]"

She thought for a moment, then added: "[Very cute.]"

Seeing the message, Jiang Ran, who had already guessed most of the truth, breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Ling didn't specify whether the child had to be a boy or a girl; she only said that there had to be one child. So, this should be considered as completing the task, right?

Jiang Ran was genuinely happy, no longer burdened by guilt towards Xia Yunxi, and no longer forced to take up arms and go into battle.

that is really good!

Now that the child has been born and Wen Ling has taken the initiative to send messages, Jiang Ran feels that now is the best time to bring up divorce.

Xia Yunxi is still waiting for him; she's been waiting for him for almost a year.

This matter needs to be addressed eventually.

Jiang Ran opened the chat window and started typing: [That's good, that's good. Then, Sister Wen Ling, can we go and get a divorce now?]

Before he could finish typing, Wen Ling's message popped up again.

Wen L.: [Aren't you going to come back and see the baby? Why don't you even ask what the baby's name is, what he looks like...]

This statement seems to carry a lot of resentment.

That's how Jiang Ran understood it at first glance.

In a way, this is Jiang Ran's first child. Although it was somewhat reluctant and he and the child's mother weren't particularly in love, at least it has a different significance.

Jiang Ran really wanted to see the baby, to see his first baby.

but......

There's no need for it, is there?

Didn't Wen Ling find a father for the child a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a wave of nausea. Without hesitation, he finished typing the line in the box.

Jiang: [That's good, that's good. So, Sister Wenling, now that the baby has been born, can we go and finalize the divorce papers?]

"...?"

In the bedroom on the first floor of the Junlan Mansion villa, Wen Ling suddenly sat up straight and stared at the words on the screen.

Divorce proceedings.

divorce?!

As if long-dead memories were flooding back, Wen Ling's heart clenched instantly!

Did Wenzhi not explain it clearly to him?

Wen Ling was puzzled. Suppressing her temper, she asked Jiang Ran, "Didn't I tell Wen Zhi to tell you that we're not getting a divorce?"

River:[?]

How come he doesn't know when this happened?!

Wen Ling took a deep breath, mistakenly thinking that Wen Zhi hadn't explained clearly, so she patiently explained, "[In my sixth month of pregnancy, Wen Zhi took my phone. I told her to tell you that the contract is void and we're not getting a divorce.]"

Jiang: [Huh?!!!!]

Jiang Ran was completely stunned by the news that Wen Ling would go back on her word!

Ignoring Jiang Ran's surprised reply, Wen Ling sent a message in a commanding tone: "[Come back first. I'll have Liu Wan drive over to pick you up. She'll be there in 30 minutes. Don't do your work for the next few days. Come back and spend time with the baby.]"

After she finished speaking, she ignored Jiang Ran's reply and immediately switched to calling Liu Wan.

No further chat pop-ups appeared.

It was this sentence, that familiar commanding tone, that came to mind!

That damn familiar domineering feeling...

Jiang Ran swallowed hard. He didn't understand. Hadn't they agreed on everything back then?

Why didn't they get a divorce after having a child? Is it because of the child's gender?!

But Wen Ling didn't mention this when the contract was discussed!

These things can't be explained clearly over a phone.

Jiang Ran felt that she had to see Wen Ling face to face.

Only by meeting in person and observing the changes in the other person's expression and tone of voice can one truly know what the other person is thinking.

It would be good to go back; Jiang Ran hadn't stepped into that villa in a long time.

Looking at his phone, he opened Xia Yunxi's chat window: [I understand. I'll go back in a bit and talk to her about this face-to-face!]

Xia Yunxi replied almost instantly: [Are you coming back now?]

Jiang Ran: [Yes, but Yunxi, don't worry, I know you've waited for me for a long time, and I won't let you down, so I'm definitely getting a divorce!]
