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

Jiang Ran didn't even know that Miss was pregnant?!

For a moment, Li Shu stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

So, it's normal that Jiang Ran didn't come?

Unable to accept the truth, Li Shu moved her lips slightly and murmured, "But...but, Miss, there's no reason for him not to even glance at the baby, is there?"

Jiang Fengdie is upstairs. Wen Ling specially ordered her to hire two top-notch postpartum nannies, who should still be sleeping upstairs right now.

Jiang Ran is already here today. The child is upstairs, and there's no need to even walk up the stairs. It's just a two-minute elevator ride up. But Jiang Ran won't even budge an inch. Does he act like a father?!

"child......?"

Upon hearing Li Shu's words, Wen Ling's eyes flashed as she thought of Jiang Fengdie, who was still sleeping upstairs.

Yes, no matter how angry or upset you are, you shouldn't completely ignore your child, right?

Or is it that Jiang Ran isn't actually angry, and he really wants a divorce?

In an instant, Wen Ling's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, were once again completely overwhelmed by tension!

"Aunt Li, what did you just say? Repeat it to me again."

She looked up anxiously, her expression tense as she gazed at Li Shu.

Li Shu sighed, placed the bowl of pig's trotter soup on the coffee table, and said earnestly, "What I mean is, Miss, no matter what, he is still the child's father. No matter how angry he is, no matter how much he makes a scene, he can't possibly not even look at the child, can he? That's the fruit of your love..."

No matter how immature or young a child is, that is not an excuse for not looking after them.

unless......

Li Shu thought she had explained things very clearly, but Wen Ling insisted on getting to the bottom of it: "Then Aunt Li, what do you think he meant by that?"

"..."

Li Shu was about to blurt out "You bastard!", but when she saw Wen Ling's puzzled and anxious eyes, she fell silent.

She took a deep breath and said, "I think he's at least 24 years old, and he needs to start learning to take on some responsibilities. The child is ultimately innocent..."

Li Shu didn't know what to say, nor did she know how charming Jiang Ran was that her young lady was so interested in her, and even started to scold her because of Jiang Ran.

Wen Ling didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head and looked at the food on the table, seemingly pondering Li Shu's words, "The child is innocent."

The living room fell silent instantly.

With a "click," the villa's door opened.

Wen Ling looked up at the sound, but when she saw that the person at the door was Xia Yunxi, she lowered her head again.

"Has the gardener finished his work?"

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Li Shu quickly changed the subject and walked towards Xia Yunxi when she suddenly appeared.

Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the living room, Xia Yunxi swallowed nervously and nodded: "Yes, it's time to leave work, and the gardeners have almost finished their work."

As she reached the door, Li Shu glanced outside.

In the small courtyard outside the villa, the flower beds that were originally messy have now been swept clean and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Li Shu nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "Get up early tomorrow and tell the gardener to remember to build a few sheds in those areas; winter is coming."

"OK."

Xia Yunxi responded repeatedly, nodding as she couldn't help but glance at Wen Ling on the sofa in the middle of the living room.

Noticing her furtive glances, Li Shu frowned slightly. "Go back to your room and rest. Take all the food inside and eat it. Don't come out before tomorrow morning."

"good......"

Xia Yunxi quickly agreed. After finishing her workday, she ran to the kitchen, grabbed her food, and returned to the break room.

In the living room, Wen Ling remained silent for a long time before taking out her phone and carefully browsing Jiang Ran's WeChat Moments.

The phrase "[This post is only visible for three days]" was particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Ran, when did you set this up?!

Seeing these words fill her eyes, Wen Ling's heart sank!

Suddenly, she realized that this was probably the first time she had ever clicked into Jiang Ran's Moments.

They've known each other for almost a year, and she still doesn't know what Jiang Ran usually posts...

Clicking on Jiang Ran's profile picture, Wen Ling's fingers trembled. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't help but send a message.

[Jiang Ran, it seems you haven't visited the baby yet...]

She looks a lot like you...

While scratching her head, Wen Ling added another sentence.

However, the message went unanswered; ten minutes passed, and Jiang Ran still hadn't replied.

What is he doing?!

Didn't you take a taxi back?!

Did he fall asleep in the taxi and miss his stop?!

Or did he encounter an unlicensed taxi?!

In an instant, the tension turned into anxiety, the anxiety of worrying about Jiang Ran!

Wen Ling was getting a little anxious. She stood up, grabbed her phone, and was about to go inside to change her clothes, but as soon as she stood up, a slight, throbbing pain in her lower abdomen came over her, and she instantly came to her senses!

Why not just send someone to check it out?

Wen Ling thought of Lu Fei.

She specifically assigned Wen Zhi to be Jiang Ran's photographer and editor, and she had her contact information at the time.

Wen Ling sent Lu Fei a text message: 【Send me all of Jiang Ran's recent whereabouts. Also, check if Jiang Ran has gone home yet.】

Soon, Lu Fei's message popped up; it was a very long message:

【Okay, Miss. Mr. Jiang recently took on a business deal with a health tea supplier. He and the supplier agreed to meet at Manya Cafe this weekend to discuss the business. Before that, Jiang Ran gets up at 5 a.m. every day to go to the nearby vegetable market to buy ingredients.

Normally, Jiang Ran would go home at 5:30 to start cooking a large pot of rice, go downstairs to set up his stall at 10:30 sharp, appear near the construction site at 11:00, and close up shop around 2:00 PM.

After finishing work at 2 PM, Jiang Ran would first go back to the apartment to put the trolley back in his room, then go out for a stroll until he returned in the evening. During this time, I needed to edit videos in the room, so I was usually not with him.

Wen Ling carefully read the extended text message.

This short message contains a lot of information.

The middle section was pretty much what she knew, but the first and third points made Wen Ling frown.

Health tea?

She remembered that she had noticed all the guys in Jiang Ran's account showcase before going to bed that morning; they were all snacks and drinks. When did they start selling health tea?!

Furthermore, in the third point, Lu Fei's description of Jiang Ran's life after 2 PM, continuing into the evening, is completely blank...

Lu Fei had no idea whether Jiang Ran had returned to the apartment at this moment.

Could it be that during her "disappearance," Jiang Ran had already found someone else he liked?!
