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

"?"

Jiang Ran stared blankly at her, at that face that had become somewhat unfamiliar, and at her uttering words that seemed utterly incomprehensible...

Having already experienced a relationship, Jiang Ran believed she understood things better than Wen Ling.

It seems she's fallen for him.

She fell in love with him...

Even a passerby would feel the same way at this moment.

Jiang Ran knew very well how harsh and realistic his words had been, but even so, Wen Ling still insisted on holding onto him.

What else could this be but liking someone?

Jiang Ran felt a sharp pain in his head. He was caught between two conflicting feelings, and perhaps also because of the aftereffects of being knocked unconscious.

"Sister Wen, I think I've made myself very clear just now..."

He murmured something, unsure how to begin speaking to Wen Ling.

This powerful, aloof, and ruthless businesswoman is actually like this when she's with him in private...

"I know!"

Wen Ling quickly responded, even anxiously, "I know all that you're saying, so... so we can start over, try again..."

This explanation might have been plausible in the past.

But now, love has been misplaced.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened. He silently raised his hand and pushed away Wen Ling's hand that was gripping his arm, his words cold and defiant: "No."

No.

He turned around abruptly, not giving Wen Ling another glance, and those two simple words echoed in the bedroom.

Low and repetitive.

Like a dull knife, it just keeps cutting into my heart!

Wen Ling felt a sharp pain in her chest, especially a feeling of emptiness that spread from head to toe, and she was so terrified that her whole body was trembling!

Seeing that Jiang Ran was about to leave the bedroom, Wen Ling reflexively panicked!

"stop!"

She called out and quickly chased after him, ordering outside, "Li Shu! Don't let him out! Stop him!"

To make it easier to take care of the baby and keep Wenling calm, Li Shu has been sleeping on the sofa in the living room ever since she moved in.

After seeing Jiang Ran being carried back by Liu Wan and her entourage, Li Shu knew she was in for a sleepless night, so she stayed on the sofa from early morning and didn't rest at all.

Hearing the noise coming from the bedroom, Li Shu immediately sat up, put on her cotton shoes, and rushed to Jiang Ran.

She raised her arms to block Jiang Ran, her face full of disgust.

"Mr. Jiang, please return to your bedroom."

Li Shu lowered her voice and whispered.

Seeing that she was being stopped, Jiang Ran turned to Wen Ling and said, "What do you mean? You won't even let me leave?!"

Wen Ling's face darkened, and she looked at Jiang Ran, issuing the order without hesitation: "It means nothing! Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave here starting today!"

"...Are you alright, ma'am? I have to work tomorrow!"

Jiang Ran couldn't hold back any longer.

"We can film the video later, it doesn't matter!"

None of that matters. What matters is that she absolutely cannot let Jiang Ran get away tonight!

Wen Ling said this, then looked directly at Li Shu, "Aunt Li, go and lock the downstairs door. Also, go and call a few people to guard outside. Don't let him out without my permission!"

Jiang Ran stared in disbelief as Li Shu answered "Yes" and then quickly rushed downstairs.

Staring at Jiang Ran, Wen Ling strode closer, her face grim, and commanded, "Come in with me!"

"Please, ma'am, you have nothing to do, but I have things to do tomorrow! What are you trying to do?!"

Jiang Ran really couldn't hold back anymore.

It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry to escape before Li Shu, but Wen Ling's change in attitude was too sudden. He really didn't think that the other party was serious!

Wen Ling remained silent in the face of his address, her expression darkening terribly. She took a few steps closer, grabbed Jiang Ran's arm again, and forcefully pulled him into the house. Her icy command rang out once more: "Come in!"

"...?"

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and was pulled and dragged into the house by force.

As the room door slammed shut, Jiang Ran stared at Wen Ling, watching her go and tidy the bed.

Like a young couple who quarrel in bed but make up before they get out of bed, Wen Ling still kept her head down with a gloomy expression, but she had already begun to give orders to Jiang Ran: "Go wash up, then take off your clothes and go to sleep!"

Jiang Ran broke down, "No way, why would we sleep together? We're getting a divorce, who's going to sleep in the same bed with you?!"

His only response was a brief five-word reply: "Don't provoke me!"

"..."

Looking at the sky turning white outside the window, Jiang Ran knew that even if he left now, he wouldn't be able to get a few hours of sleep when he got back.

Moreover, Wen Ling doesn't seem to want to talk right now.

"I really don't have time to play your nonsense anymore, Sister Wen."

Jiang Ran frowned and said seriously, "I have to go to work tomorrow. I can't sleep for long before I have to get up and go to the market to buy groceries. I also have to set up a stall at noon. I really can't delay any longer."

Wen Ling didn't say anything, but took out her phone and quickly tapped it a few times.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran thought she was finally listening, so he emphasized again, "Although there aren't many people on weekends, everyone trusts me. Many workers will still be working on weekends. I can't let them wait for me all day in the middle of the day and not be able to eat, can I?"

As he spoke, Wen Ling put down her phone and said to him calmly, "I've already asked Liu Wan to find someone to help you with the stall setup. Now all you need to do is wash up, take off your clothes, and go to bed with me!"

She didn't have anything else to say except for the second half, right?

After going around in circles with just these few sentences, Jiang Ran broke down: "Big sister, how many times do I have to say it? I don't like you, I don't like you, I don't like you! Forcing someone who doesn't like you to sleep in the same bed, are you fucking crazy?!"

Even the best temper will break down when faced with someone like Wen Ling who is immersed in her own world!

She thought that if they slept together, everything would be fine the next day?!

Do you really think that sharing a bed is just child's play and that no one has to take responsibility?!

He was furious, and Wen Ling was furious too!

From the first time she heard Jiang Ran say he didn't like her, she had been harboring a lot of anger. And now, he was going to repeat those words so many times, deliberately choosing the words she hated most to provoke her!

it is good!

very good!

Wen Ling felt her patience had reached its limit. She turned to the side, looked up at Jiang Ran, and said in a cold, harsh tone, "Don't force me to take action against you!"

They're going to lay a hand on me?!

Seeing that Wen Ling was wrapped up from head to toe like a polar bear, with a very round face, she had no intimidating presence at all!

Jiang Ran immediately laughed, "Don't joke around, big sister. You don't really think you can beat me, do you?"
