When Jiang Ran came out of the bathroom, she wasn't wearing a bathrobe; she was still wrapped in the clothes she had worn before.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Wen Ling reclining on the bed, lazily pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses and smiling at him.

It was rare to see Wen Ling smile, and at this moment, coupled with what Wen Ling had just said, Jiang Ran felt a chill run down his spine!

He ignored Wen Ling and went straight to the sofa to sit down.

Seeing him sit down on the sofa, Wen Ling covered her lips, yawned, and then turned off the lights.

The bedroom was plunged into darkness in an instant.

After a brief period of darkness, the sky outside the French windows began to lighten with the pale light of dawn.

The room wasn't completely dark. Jiang Ran lay sprawled on the sofa, seemingly asleep, but in reality, he was having a frantic brainstorming session.

How do I get a divorce?!

If one party is unwilling, how can they file for divorce?

Wen Ling must like him right now, right?

Either they've been separated for too long, resulting in reflexive attachment, and since the child is his, Wen Ling is currently very enthusiastic towards him.

So, should he act like a jerk now, just to wear down Wen Ling's long-lost enthusiasm for him, and then they can get a divorce?

What about Xia Yunxi? Is she just going to keep making her wait like this?!

Jiang Ran's head ached more and more as he thought about it. He sighed and stared at the ceiling.

Using Xia Yunxi as a shield is a good idea, but he can't bring it up! Xia Yunxi still needs this job!

Seemingly hearing Jiang Ran's sigh, Wen Ling's cold voice rang out: "If you wake up before me, then sit obediently on the sofa and wait, or you can wake me up. Don't try to escape; my people don't have useless people!"

Compared to the whitewashed ceiling, this sound was truly cold and unfeeling.

Jiang Ran said "Oh" and wrapped her head in a blanket.

Since things have come to this, let's pretend to be a scumbag for now!

He could only pray that Wen Ling's feelings were just a passing fancy, and not something that would last.

The bedroom returned to silence, with the heater continuing its continuous humming.

Before they knew it, they had both fallen asleep.

When the scorching sun shone on Jiang Ran at noon the next day, Jiang Ran suddenly opened his eyes!

Out of habit, he reached for his phone to check the time, but as he reached for the sofa, he belatedly realized that his phone wasn't there at all.

When Liu Wan knocked him unconscious last night, he stuffed his phone under the pillow on the headboard of his apartment bed.

"The weather is nice today!"

From the other side of the bedroom, Wen Ling's lazy voice rang out, sounding as if she was in a very good mood.

Jiang Ran sat up.

The first step to becoming a scumbag is to stop making your bed!

He simply threw the blanket off on the ground, completely abandoning his post.

On the bed, Wen Ling sat up. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and shone slightly golden in the sunlight. She looked sleepy, but her face was fair and tender.

Noticing the blanket at Jiang Ran's feet, Wen Ling raised an eyebrow and said directly, "Don't pick it up if it's on the ground. Call Aunt Li to come in and clean it up later."

As she spoke, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Knowing she needed to use the restroom, Jiang Ran simply stood up and rushed to the front, saying, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom too!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and occupied the bathroom.

Wen Ling was still in the waking-up stage. Before she could even stand up, she saw Jiang Ran rush over and slam the bathroom door shut with a loud "bang"!

Wen Ling looked completely bewildered.

So, the first thing Jiang Ran does when she wakes up in the morning is go to the toilet?

She tilted her head, raised her hand to touch her chin, and thought that having only one toilet in the bedroom wasn't quite enough...

She stood up and walked straight to the living room.

Li Shu got up early and first supervised the two nannies feeding Jiang Fengdie and changing her diapers. Then she started preparing breakfast for Wen Ling.

It could be said that Li Shu had been busy all morning and had just sat down to rest for a while.

At that moment, seeing Wen Ling's bedroom door open, Li Shu immediately stood up. "Miss, you're awake?"

"What time is it?"

Yawning, Wen Ling asked casually.

Looking at the time, Li Shu replied, "10:50, it's almost lunchtime."

Wen Ling responded, "Okay, go and bring the food up and put it in the room. I need to go to the bathroom first."

"it is good."

Li Shu nodded and walked quickly toward the elevator.

Downstairs, the gardeners were rushing to finish their work before winter truly arrived, while Xia Yunxi was supervising the work at the villa entrance.

Seeing Li Shu come downstairs, Xia Yunxi blinked and asked curiously, "Aunt Li, what happened last night?"

Li Shu frowned and turned to look at Xia Yunxi: "Why are you asking this?"

Xia Yunxi shook her head and said, "No, I just noticed there are a lot more people dressed in black outside the villa. Is something wrong, Miss Wen?"

Recalling the scene she had seen Jiang Ran and Xia Yunxi standing together earlier, Li Shu's heart sank. She warned Xia Yunxi again in a serious tone, "What Miss does is her own business. You just need to do your job well. When working for someone else, remember, don't pry or care!"

Although she was a little puzzled by Li Shu's sudden seriousness, Xia Yunxi nodded obediently, purely out of curiosity.

She didn't ask any more questions. Seeing Li Shu go into the kitchen to prepare the meal, Xia Yunxi kindly asked, "Aunt Li, do you need any help?"

Li Shu didn't turn around. While serving the rice, she replied, "No need, go and do your work. Your job for now is to supervise the gardeners outside. Miss wants to see the flowers bloom next spring."

"Yes."

Xia Yunxi responded and left without lingering.

The second floor.

When Jiang Ran deliberately dawdled for almost an hour before coming out of the bathroom, he saw a table set up in the bedroom, with all sorts of delicious dishes ready and waiting.

There was no one else in the room. The bedroom door was still closed. Wen Ling had already finished washing up. She was wearing a gray velvet nightgown, and her long, smooth black hair was draped over her shoulders. She sat kindly at the dining table, watching Jiang Ran come out of the bathroom with great interest.

That look not only disgusted Jiang Ran, but also made him feel uneasy...

Glancing at the time, Wen Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a gentle smile, "Do you boys always take this long to go to the toilet?"
