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

A head-on confrontation, is that it?

"Oh."

Wen Ling sneered, casually took out a roll of tape from the bedside table drawer, and walked towards Jiang Ran step by step with a sinister expression!

"No, what are you going to do! Don't come any closer, don't force me to lay a hand on a woman!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ran subconsciously stepped back.

He really didn't intend to fight Wen Ling. After all, she had just given birth and her body hadn't recovered yet. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would tolerate it. After all, he wasn't the type to hit women!

Besides, if Wen Ling were to get hurt in his hands, his life would probably be over!

Therefore, these words are at best a threat.

However, his retreat only resulted in Wen Ling closing in step by step.

He retreated, she advanced.

Jiang Ran panicked completely when Wen Ling was still getting closer and closer, even though Jiang Ran's back was already pressed against the bedroom door!

Just as she raised her hand to tear off the tape and was about to stick it on his mouth, Jiang Ran reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist!

"Stop messing around, sis. We've got no feelings left, so we should part ways amicably. There's no need to make things like this, is there?"

Until the tape was on his lips, even now, he genuinely believed Wen Ling was joking with him.

Who would actually be that crazy?!

Seeing Jiang Ran utter such heartless words as "Let's part amicably" from his thin lips, Wen Ling was so angry that she trembled all over!

"open!"

She gritted her teeth and coldly issued the order!

"Then promise me you'll put this thing away and stop with all this fancy stuff..."

Jiang Ran was also sweating profusely.

Although he was holding Wen Ling's wrist, and Wen Ling's body hadn't fully recovered, people who regularly work out are different; his strength was really considerable. He had to use about 60% of his strength to hold her down...

"What I do is none of your business! I'm telling you to let go!"

Wen Ling continued to give orders without hesitation, clearly no longer listening to anything else.

Jiang Ran could see her clearly from such a close distance.

He understood all too well that if he let go now, wouldn't that mean Wen Ling would truly succeed?!

Therefore, Jiang Ran's attitude was also firm: "I won't let go!"

"Let go!"

"Put your things down first, then I'll let go!"

"Shut up and let go of my hand!"

"You put it down first!"

"..."

After a few rounds, Wen Ling seemed to have run out of energy. Jiang Ran could clearly feel the weakness in her arm. His eyes flashed, and he took the tape from Wen Ling's hand.

Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Wen, it's no use. I've already told you I have no feelings for you anymore, and I don't like you anymore either. No matter what you do, it's meaningless. Honestly, the best ending is for us to part ways amicably..."

The tape was snatched away, and a look of surprise flashed across Wen Ling's eyes. She bit her lip tightly and looked at Jiang Ran with an expression of resentment.

Jiang Ran sighed, placed the tape on the cabinet next to her, and said earnestly, "Someone as outstanding as you, Sister Wen—a strong woman, beautiful, and from a good family—should be matched with someone even more outstanding, like that new father you brought back last time for your child, right?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Ran even chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Wasn't that guy always pursuing you? You two knew each other back in your student days. Even though you're divorced with a child, you're capable, so don't you have more in common with him?"

As Jiang Ran spoke, he recalled the scene he had heard and seen in the living room behind the door that day. Although the man looked mature and was older than him, wasn't he a perfect match for Wen Ling?

He's practically kowtowing with fervor as he talks!

When the topic was brought up again, Wen Ling belatedly remembered it, and she frowned: "I did it on purpose."

"What do you mean, intentional?"

"I did it on purpose to annoy you!"

The words that tumbled out from between her teeth showed that Wen Ling didn't take this matter seriously at all.

If Jiang Ran could team up with Wen Zhi to fool her at Wen Zhi's urging, why couldn't she use others to provoke Jiang Ran?!

Besides, she was just being sarcastic and had almost completely forgotten who the person was and what their name was!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran looked at Wen Ling in astonishment.

Intentional?!

Oh, so she specifically invited a man over, even bringing him to her home, just to annoy him in front of him?!

You're insane!

He said that Wen Ling didn't treat him like a human being at all. What normal person would do such a thing?!

She even found a new dad, awesome!

After the initial shock, Jiang Ran was no longer angry; he was simply speechless, especially when he saw Wen Ling's expression that said, "I did nothing wrong" and "It's all your fault." He was at a loss for what to do.

I was so speechless I burst out laughing.

"Oh, sister, you... I really... Let's just forget about it, let's really say goodbye..."

Why are you still arguing? In reality, there's such a huge gap in social class, and yet your brains aren't even aligned. Why are you forcing a marriage between us?!

"Don't even think about it!"

Wen Ling blurted it out.

She didn't understand. They were chatting happily just a second ago, and then Jiang Ran brought it up again. She had explained that it was just something she said casually.

"Aside from that incident, I haven't had any contact with him."

Wen Ling loosened her grip on her lower lip, her hands already clenched into fists, stubbornly trying to explain to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran shrugged: "So?"

"I didn't cheat on you! I haven't had any contact with him at all. I just used him to deliberately make you angry!"

Wen Ling rarely offered an explanation, and she did so in this somewhat aggrieved way, recounting her inner thoughts to Jiang Ran at the time.

Wen Ling has always acted without asking why or explaining the reasons, but now, when the words of explanation came out, she felt as if she was rubbing her self-esteem on the ground, and repeatedly trampling on it!

She's already humbled herself enough, hasn't she?

Wen Ling felt that she had already lowered her stance enough, at least when facing Jiang Ran. She was even explaining things to him!

However, the next second, Jiang Ran's voice rang out with a smile, teasing yet nonchalant: "Alright, sis, why are you explaining all this to me? It's all in the past. I was just saying it casually. What? You don't think I'm jealous, do you?"

"!"

Wen Ling's cheeks visibly flushed red!

He stared intently at Jiang Ran's smiling face. This was not only humiliating her, but he was also trampling on her carefully lowered self-esteem!

That damn mouth of his!

Wen Ling's eyes reddened with anger. She grabbed the duct tape and aimed it directly at Jiang Ran's mouth—
