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

Aside from this, Wen Ling couldn't think of any other reason why Jiang Ran, who had finally come back, wouldn't even glance at the child.

Given Jiang Ran's character, he would never do something so heartless!

Even now, he hasn't replied to a single message...

Wen Ling remembered that night at Yunqi Villa, Jiang Ran and she sat facing each other in the living room on the 5th floor. His phone, which had fallen to the ground, contained a chat window filled with green and white text...

Thinking of this, Wen Ling's heart clenched instantly!

Without hesitation, she sent Lu Fei a message: "Go and buy a surveillance camera and place it in the hallway. Starting today, send me all of Jiang Ran's travel times!"

Lu Fei: [Yes, Mr. Wen.]

Jiang Ran still hadn't replied to the message, and Wen Ling was so annoyed that she lost her appetite.

She glanced at the food with some disgust, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to eat it.

The thought that Jiang Ran might not have even gone home after leaving this house, and might still be having dinner with someone else, made Wen Ling extremely annoyed!

She naturally believed in Jiang Ran's character, but just because he didn't cheat in his actions didn't mean he wouldn't cheat in his mind.

Especially just now, Jiang Ran spoke so firmly about wanting to discuss divorce with her, and they even set a date...

"Aunt Li!"

Feeling increasingly restless, Wen Ling called out and anxiously rubbed her hair.

Li Shu rushed over upon hearing the call, but frowned when she saw that the food on the coffee table had not been touched.

"Get the car ready, I need to go out for a bit."

The moment Wen Ling's voice fell, she also stood up.

Li Shu immediately became anxious: "Get out?! Miss, it's already dark, what are you doing going out so late?!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Go prepare the car, don't make me say it twice!"

Wen Ling said irritably, then went straight back to her bedroom.

When she came out again, she was wrapped up like a polar bear.

Although Li Shu's face was full of disapproval, she dared not go against her mistress's wishes any longer, so she could only bite the bullet and step forward, even putting another coat over Wen Ling's clothes.

Looking at the food on the coffee table, Wen Ling put on her hat and said calmly, "Go and pack two portions of the food on the table and take them to the car."

"Yes, miss."

Li Shu responded and turned to get busy.

As soon as she stepped out of the villa, the car was already waiting at the door. The driver jogged over to open the car door for Wen Ling.

Once in the car, after Li Shu brought the food over and placed it on the passenger seat, the car set off.

The destination is the apartment where Jiang Ran is currently staying.

Wen Ling didn't know if Jiang Ran had arrived home yet, but she couldn't accept that he wasn't replying to her messages.

The plan is to have dinner with Jiang Ran tonight, so this goal must be achieved, no matter what conditions are involved.

......

in the apartment.

Jiang Ran had just bought a freshly stir-fried chicken with vinegar downstairs and returned home. He hung the key on the hook by the door and closed the door.

Jiang Ran had just washed her hands and opened her lunchbox, and before she could even sit down properly, she saw two messages from Wen Ling on her phone.

A child?! And he looks like him?!

Isn't that obvious? His offspring, how could they not resemble him?

But he had completely forgotten about the matter of checking on the children!

Even though they would never see each other again, he was still a little curious about the child.

He can take a look, but he really forgot about looking after the child today because he was in such a hurry!

I was so busy talking to Wen Ling about getting a divorce back then...

Just as Jiang Ran was pondering how to reply, another message popped up from Wen Ling: [Open the door.]

"???"

These two simple words sent a chill down Jiang's spine, and he subconsciously looked towards the doorway!

Not daring to even breathe loudly, Jiang Ran nervously watched the doorway. He faintly heard a rustling sound...

Jiang Ran's Adam's apple bobbed, his fingers trembled, and he typed on his phone: [You, you... why are you opening the door?]

Wen L.: [Aren't you at the apartment? I'm right outside your room.]

"..."

Are you crazy?! Wen Ling came all this way in person?!

Jiang Ran was so startled that her fingers trembled, and her phone fell to the ground with a "bang".

It seemed they had heard the commotion inside.

Immediately, there was a knock on the door, "thump, thump, thump," as if each knock was dancing on Jiang Ran's heart!

This is like a ghost knocking on the door—no, someone like Wen Ling actually came to our door in person?!

Jiang Ran quickly picked up her phone and typed with trembling hands: [Sister Wen, what brings you here? I... I made myself perfectly clear today, didn't I?]

However, he only received a brief reply of four words.

Are you going to open it or not?

"..."

Jiang Ran was numb.

He sighed, stood up, and went to open the door.

As the door opened, the first thing that came into view was a man who was about the same height as him.

Wearing a black suit, the man strode forward, placed the lunchbox he was carrying on the table in the room, and then politely withdrew, bowing slightly to Wen Ling in a gesture of invitation.

Wrapped in a cotton-padded coat and a thick fleece overcoat, Wen Ling's expression was aloof. She turned around and told him, "Wait in the corridor."

"Yes."

The driver nodded, and after watching Wen Ling approach, he very considerately closed the door.

Standing at the doorway, Wen Ling's gaze fell upon the room.

This was her first time visiting Jiang Ran's apartment.

She turned her head and glanced at the bathroom on her left, which was like a narrow passageway, even smaller than the bathtub in the villa's bedroom.

There are also rooms that can be seen at a glance.

The layout is simple.

A bed, a wardrobe, a table, and two stools.

Wait, two...?!

Wen Ling's brows suddenly furrowed.

Seeing her standing at the door in a daze, and with that sharp aura emanating from her, Jiang Ran said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Wen, why did you suddenly come over?"

As if she hadn't heard his question, Wen Ling's gaze remained fixed on the two benches placed side by side, and she asked, "Who else usually comes here?"

"Well......"

Her question left Jiang Ran speechless!

The image of Xia Yunxi flashed through Jiang Ran's mind, and she instantly regained her composure: "Who comes here is none of your business, Sister Wen, is it? Coming uninvited this late at night, I should be asking you what you mean by this!"

He left without paying any more attention to Wen Ling, walked straight to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down, ready to enjoy the stir-fried chicken with vinegar.

It was still fresh; the owner had just killed the chicken and stir-fried it right in front of him, and it was still piping hot.

The smell of vinegar filled the air.

It's not the beginning of an appetite, but rather the beginning of a rise in anger!

With a stern face, Wen Ling strode over and stood in front of the table, looking down at Jiang Ran. Suppressing her anger, she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
