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

That statement seems to make some sense.

However, when she looked at that obviously superfluous stool again, Wen Ling still felt disgusted.

She walked quickly to the bedside, said nothing more, and simply lifted the covers and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Although Wen Ling is shorter than Jiang Ran, the bed is a section higher than the stool, so when Wen Ling sits down, her head is level with Jiang Ran's.

"Go and get the food, I'm hungry."

Sitting on the side of the bed, Wen Ling habitually began to direct Jiang Ran to do things.

Knowing that she had only recently finished her postpartum confinement and was not fully recovered, Jiang Ran didn't say much, but simply pulled the table to the bedside with her head down.

It was the same food Li Shu had left at the bedroom door around evening: pig's trotter soup, stir-fried bok choy, boiled crucian carp, and two large bowls of rice.

Two portions of the dish were prepared.

But Jiang Ran's attention was no longer on that at the moment. While he was engrossed in unpacking his lunchbox, he kept thinking about Wen Ling's actions.

What does it mean that she suddenly kissed him?

What the hell!

"I can't even stretch my legs out while eating!"

Beside her, Wen Ling muttered something with a hint of disdain, then turned to Jiang Ran and ordered, "After you finish eating, pack your things and come back with me to stay at our place."

"I've paid the rent..."

Jiang Ran murmured in response, still preoccupied with what had just happened, completely unaware of Wen Ling's sudden furrowed brows beside her.

"How much did you pay?"

"A whole year, and there are still five months left."

Without hesitation, Wen Ling declared, "I'll make it up to you!"

Why bother?

Jiang Ran said somewhat irritably, "I'm living here perfectly well, and there are still five months left. Why am I moving?"

"Then let's get a bigger one, I'll move in too!"

Wen Ling's words brooked no refusal. Seeing Jiang Ran's shocked expression as she turned around, she continued, "I already checked when I came up. There are larger rooms here. Give Liu Wan the landlord's contact information and have her contact someone to get a bigger one!"

"...?"

Jiang Ran stared in disbelief as Wen Ling uttered such a long passage.

She's a dog, isn't she?!

He's deliberately moved out to avoid us, why do you still insist on living with him?!

"Don't!"

Jiang Ran quickly waved her hand: "No, please, Sister Wen, isn't it great that you live in that big villa over there, with people to wait on you? My humble abode is in a small place; you'd be making a fool of yourself by moving here!"

Anyone with a normal sense could hear the ambiguity in his tone, but Wen Ling heard it as him showing concern for her.

I'm worried that she's been mistreated since moving in and having no one to take care of her...

"Just have Aunt Li come over. I don't usually have anything to do, she can come by herself!"

Wen Ling blinked, not at all thinking her decision was a bit far-fetched!

Jiang Ran was exhausted from listening.

"We'll see..."

He gave a vague answer and then stopped talking, picking up the lunchbox on the table and starting to eat rice.

Seeing how he wolfed down his food, Wen Ling actually felt a little hungry herself.

A slight smile played on her lips as she picked up her bowl and began to eat.

"Try this pig's trotter soup. Aunt Li was a top-notch chef a few years ago, and her skills are excellent."

While they were eating, Wen Ling's voice rang out, startling Jiang Ran so much that he almost choked on his rice!

He remembered that a year ago, when he had dinner with Wen Ling, she was a quiet person!

And now he's actually speaking up on his own initiative?!

"You drink first, this was made for you anyway..."

Jiang Ran responded sullenly, her mind still reeling from the kiss.

Meal in progress...

When the two had almost finished eating, Jiang Ran put down his chopsticks, tidied up the table briefly, and then Wen Ling's voice rang out.

"Winter is almost here, aren't you cold sleeping under this?"

She lowered her head, her hand resting on the blanket beside her, feeling the thickness of the blanket, and asked.

"It's alright, it hasn't gotten completely cold yet..."

Jiang Ran silently threw the things into the trash can, while casually responding.

Wen Ling said "Oh" and didn't say anything more. She just looked around at the white walls of the room, and her gaze finally fell on the suitcase on top of the wardrobe.

She remembered clearly that Jiang Ran had brought this black suitcase with him the first time he went to the Junlan Mansion villa, and a year had passed without him getting a new one...

He's quite nostalgic, actually.

Having already eaten and cleaned up the trash, Jiang Ran felt uneasy seeing that Wen Ling showed no intention of leaving.

At the same time, there's that one question that keeps lingering in my mind...

"Sister Wen...I have something to ask you."

He hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to ask the question face to face.

Wen Ling snapped out of her daze. "Hmm?"

"Well... well, why did you suddenly kiss me just now?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Jiang Ran felt his entire face burning!

It wasn't that I was embarrassed, but rather that I felt uncomfortable because I hadn't been in such close contact for so long.

Hearing this, Wen Ling raised an eyebrow and laughed, "What? What's wrong with me kissing my own husband?!"

"Husband...husband?!"

Jiang Ran almost bit her tongue while rapping!

He looked up, staring at Wen Ling in shock!

"yes!"

Wen Ling smiled and nodded. Seeing Jiang Ran's blank reaction, she found it a little funny and said reproachfully, "Who told you to call me that just now? I didn't like it!"

"...?"

If you don't like what you're hearing, shouldn't you get angry, slam the door, and leave?!

Why is she suddenly acting all coquettish?!

She even refused to get a divorce no matter what...

Could it be that Wen Ling likes him?!

The moment those words popped into Jiang Ran's mind, every hair on her body stood on end!

It wasn't that he was confident; he could see the obvious coquettishness on Wen Ling's face all too clearly!

What's going on?!

Xia Yunxi is still waiting for him to get a divorce so she can be with him. Besides, after all this time, he has already settled down!

He and Wen Ling are from completely different worlds!

Even now, there are endless conflicts. How can there be a future with this kind of relationship?!

No way! He has to get to the bottom of this today!

Jiang Ran suddenly looked up, staring intently at Wen Ling, and said seriously, "Sister, I also want to ask you, why don't you divorce me?"

"ah?!"

This sudden question stunned Wen Ling.

Meeting Jiang Ran's serious expression, Wen Ling's eyes flickered, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "There's no particular reason, I just don't want to get a divorce..."

Now that the baby is born, Jiang Ran can go back and continue with his work, as long as he's within her sight every day...

That's what Wen Ling thought. This was the only wish she wanted to fulfill after being pregnant for so long and holding back for so long!

However, the next second, Jiang Ran's words stunned Wen Ling completely!

"Sis, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?"
