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

"this......"

Li Shu couldn't answer that question.

Because she couldn't imagine who would actually refuse her young lady!

The Wen family, with its rich heritage in Beijing, possesses assets all over the world, far exceeding the common understanding. Wen Ling is the eldest daughter of the Wen family and the only heir to their assets. She is someone that many outsiders would find difficult to even meet.

But a poor boy...

He's even so much younger than Wen Ling, how could he have caused her young lady to become like this?!

Seeing Li Shu speechless, Wen Ling seemed to regain her senses.

She casually picked up a towel from the side and wiped her mouth, her gaze turning cold: "Forget it, you can go out now, this is none of your business."

"..."

Seeing that Wen Ling had regained her former aloofness, Li Shu wanted to say something more, but in the end, all she could say was "yes".

As the bathroom door closed, Wen Ling stared intently at herself in the mirror.

Her thermal underwear clung to her body, and her lower abdomen was still slightly protruding. Apart from the hollows in her waist, her figure was quite different from before.

Wen Ling couldn't accept herself like this.

She looked this bad even before she was fully dressed, let alone when she had worn so many thick clothes to keep warm before going out.

No wonder, no wonder Jiang Ran has no feelings for her at all. She can't even accept the way she looks now!

Her strong sense of self-esteem completely collapsed at this moment, and Wen Ling, who was always high and mighty, felt extremely ashamed!

Her out-of-shape figure made her lose all interest in taking a proper bath, so Wen Ling just washed herself with water and came out.

Li Shu was still waiting outside.

Seeing Wen Ling come out, Li Shu quickly picked up a hairdryer and a towel to help Wen Ling dry her hair.

Wen Ling walked straight to the dressing table without saying a word, sat down in front of the mirror, staring directly at it, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Shu helped her dry her hair while saying, "Miss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."

"..."

Wen Ling remained silent, tacitly acknowledging her statement.

Li Shu continued, "It's normal for women to have children and for their bodies to change shape, especially as they get older; their bodies tend to look older after childbirth. But these are not reasons for him not to like you!"

"..."

"Giving birth is a major event; it's a new life, a life-changing event! It's like passing on your own life force and continuing a new life! I've worked for the Wen family for many years, and I was by Mrs. Wen's side when she was pregnant. You see, even after she gave birth, didn't Mr. Wen still take great care of her?"

"If someone truly likes another person, how could they stop liking them just because she's pregnant or her figure has changed?!"

Li Shu's voice lingered as she helped Wen Ling put her hair up.

Right above Wen Ling's head, these facts, which Wen Ling had seen since she had memories, were being stated continuously!

Yes! When my mother was pregnant with Wenzhi, my father doted on her, treating her like a precious treasure. And after giving birth, my mother did experience depression because of her changed figure. At that time, my father was always there to comfort and pamper her, and he even exercised with her...

Jiang Ran's character is impeccable; Wen Ling is well aware of this!

Although he tried to dodge today, there was no disgust in Jiang Ran's eyes!

He even had dinner with her and let her sit on his bed...

He didn't dislike her out-of-shape figure...

Why is that?

"Buzzing—"

The hairdryer was turned on, and hot air blew out.

The sound wasn't very loud, but it still drowned out the voice. Wen Ling saw Li Shu's lips move, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

Wen Ling no longer cared what she said, because when she thought about her parents' relationship, she also felt that Jiang Ran's dislike for her was not because of her out-of-shape figure!

Why is that?!

Wen Ling couldn't understand it; she couldn't comprehend why someone would suddenly dislike another person.

Shouldn't love be etched into your flesh and heart?

Perhaps she didn't punish him harshly enough?

It wasn't until the hairdryer stopped that Wen Ling seemed to have figured things out.

She stared at herself in the mirror, watching her eyes harden and her former confidence return. She commanded, "Aunt Li, have Liu Wan take a few people and move Jiang Ran, along with his belongings, back!"

Her voice remained aloof.

Li Wan was taken aback, and subconsciously looked out the window at the already dark night: "Now? Now?"

"Yes, go tonight, and be quick!"

Wen Ling uttered a sentence without any hesitation, still in the same commanding tone as before.

Li Shu wanted to say something more, but when she saw Wen Ling's cold demeanor return, her aura surged instantly!

She nodded, put the hairdryer back in its place, and left.

Hearing her leave, Wen Ling remained seated at the dressing table.

She quietly looked at herself in the mirror and raised her hand to touch her cheek.

Unlike the distinct skeletal feel of the past, what rises in your hands now is a plump and soft texture.

She recalled Jiang Ran's words from today's meeting: "I don't like it anymore"...

It was like a curse, constantly lingering in her mind.

Wen Ling felt very flustered.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but she felt that if she didn't do something right now, Jiang Ran would really disappear.

Completely disappeared from her world...

It's actually quite funny, she never imagined that one day she would act based on intuition...

......

In the apartment, Jiang Ran stayed in bed playing on her phone.

Having taken on quite a few gigs during this period, he has accumulated nearly 50 yuan in savings.

Jiang Ran pondered, deciding to take out half of the money to buy her father a new car.

While scrolling through videos about selling cars, a message from Xia Yunxi popped up on my phone screen: [Jiang Ran, how... is things going?]

Opening the message chat box, Jiang Ran replied truthfully: [I've already told her we'll go get the divorce certificate next Monday. There will be a cooling-off period, so it should be done around the Lunar New Year.]

Xia Yunxi: [Oh, okay. That's about right. I should have saved enough money by the end of the year. I'll give it to my parents then, and we'll be even!]

We're not children anymore. Unlike when we were in school, once we enter society, we have to take on many responsibilities, and everyone has their own path to follow.

But ultimately, the ending that is about to come is good.

The thought of finally getting a divorce, which had been weighing on her mind for so long, made Jiang Ran feel completely relaxed!

He now has money in his pocket and his work is thriving. It seems that the torment of the past six months is finally coming to an end!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ran edited the text: [Yunxi, after this is over, I'll take a few days off too. Let's go out and have some fun together?]
