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

Jiang Ran was taken aback: "Eat?!"

His surprised tone reached Wen Ling's ears, and fearing that Jiang Ran would revert to his behavior from a few days ago, Wen Ling quickly explained, "It's just to put an end to our marriage."

"Oh, I see..."

Jiang Ran nodded, glanced at the time, 9:55.

It was indeed almost noon, and the bread we ate this morning was simply not enough!

After all, Wen Ling was the first woman in his life with whom he had such a relationship, and in such a special way.

Jiang Ran didn't refuse. "Sure, that's perfect. I've made some money this year, so how about I treat you to dinner today!"

"Well?"

Wen Ling looked up in astonishment. He... he offered to treat her to dinner?!

"Should we go to Shaxian or...?"

Jiang Ran, who had already started choosing a location, opened his phone. He paused halfway through his sentence, glanced at Wen Ling, and then, as if feeling it wasn't quite right, added, "Let's find a restaurant. How about the Royal Restaurant?"

"..."

Wen Ling carefully examined Jiang Ran, and following his gaze, she also noticed the fur coat he was wearing.

She knew how much money Jiang Ran had earned in the past year, probably only fifty or sixty thousand. That money was earned by him working late into the night and getting up early every day, selling boxed lunches on the roadside.

He also needs other expenses every day. A meal at the Royal Restaurant costs nearly a thousand yuan just for the service fee. This amount of money is insignificant to Wen Ling, but it is a huge sum for Jiang Ran.

"Shaxian is fine, there's no need to go to such an expensive place."

Wen Ling's tone was very calm. She didn't know anything else, but she knew that Jiang Ran was respecting her, and she couldn't take that respect for granted.

Wen Ling's decision surprised Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran looked at her in astonishment, finding it hard to believe that a young lady like her would be willing to go to a small shop on the street!

He murmured, "Sis, are you serious?"

Like taking a good-for-nothing younger brother out, the way she addressed her as "sister" was completely devoid of any sense of distance, which made Wen Ling feel pleasant!

She turned her head away, "If you're going to go, then go! Stop with the nonsense!"

It's rare to hear her giving orders again.

This damned sense of familiarity was so much better than her squatting in front of him, begging without any dignity or self-respect.

Once Jiang Ran shifted her perspective to the older sister, she suddenly realized that Wen Ling wasn't such a bad person after all!

"Okay! Let's go then. Although we haven't arrived at the restaurant yet, I guess Shaxian snacks will be open by now."

He stuffed his phone into his pocket and quickly walked down the steps.

He was tall and took long strides; in just a few steps, he was already quite a distance behind Wen Ling.

Wen Ling quickly jogged after him.

"Sometimes after work I'll have some black chicken soup at a Shaxian snack shop. It's pretty nourishing and tastes good, but it definitely can't compare to the kind your chef makes, sis..."

Jiang Ran walked ahead with his head down. After relaxing, he became as talkative as ever. But before he could say more than a few words, he noticed Wen Ling, who was jogging behind him, panting heavily.

He's not even fully recovered yet, why is he leaving so fast?!

Jiang Ran stopped and waited for Wen Ling in place. When she set off again, she deliberately slowed down her pace.

He was walking this fast when he came in, not caring about waiting at all; he practically ran in. But now he's staying put, even deliberately slowing down...

Wen Ling felt a warmth in her heart!

She knew her judgment was sound; Jiang Ran's character was absolutely impeccable!

But the more this happened, the more distressed Wen Ling became. How could she have gone so far as to offend a man like Jiang Ran, who was such a good person, to make him so eager to divorce her...?

It turns out that it wasn't Jiang Ran who went too far, but her.

Wen Zhi was right; agreeing to Jiang Ran's request for a divorce was the right move she made.

In these thirty days, she was determined to make Jiang Ran feel her respect and her affection...

As they walked side by side to the side of the street, Liu Wan took the initiative to run over and open the back door of the car, while also gesturing for them to enter.

After getting into the car, Liu Wan asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"

"Let's find a Shaxian snack shop nearby, I want to treat Sister Wen to a meal."

Knowing that Wen Ling was a man of few words, Jiang Ran took the initiative to respond.

Liu Wan paused, her hand on the steering wheel pausing as if she had heard some big news. She glanced at the rearview mirror in astonishment.

In the mirror, Wen Ling leaned against the back seat, her face behind the sunglasses showing no emotion, just sitting there quietly without saying a word.

Silence means consent.

Liu Wan shuddered, her lips twitched, and she quickly replied, "Okay."

The car started moving, and Jiang Ran didn't say anything more along the way, just happily watching the street scenes rushing past the car window.

The road moves forward, and so does he.

Thankfully, it's all over now, all over...

Beside him, Wen Ling couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of her eye. They were very close, so close that Wen Ling could see the joy in Jiang Ran's eyes.

As if the lively and cheerful little angel from before had returned, she silently clenched her fists, already impatiently thinking about what excuse she could use to ask Jiang Ran out next time...

The BMW stopped in front of the snack shop, and Liu Wan once again took the initiative to get out of the car and open the back door.

As I got off the car, the midday sun had already risen. The old streets were bustling with people, and standing among them, the tall Jiang Ran stood out strikingly.

I've lost count of how many times my heart has fluttered...

She has excellent taste; Jiang Ran, whom she chose from among so many people, is so wonderful.

"Boss, I'd like an egg fried rice and a black chicken soup!"

As soon as Jiang Ran stepped into the store, without even glancing at the menu, she called out to the owner with practiced ease, then turned to Wen Ling, "Sis, what would you like to eat?"

"..."

Wen Ling's gaze fell on the menu on the wall. She didn't care about the food; she said indifferently, "The same as you."

"Ah... okay!"

Jiang Ran nodded and said to the kitchen, "Boss, two identical portions!"

Sitting across from each other at the table, Jiang Ran grabbed a few tissues and wiped the table in front of Wen Ling, casually asking, "Sis, would you like some sweet drink?"

Wen Ling frowned slightly: "Little Sweetie?"

"Just some sparkling water! Oh right, you can't drink anything too cold right now... How about some protein shakes, they're warm."

Jiang Ran scratched his head, then stood up and led the way to the freezer.

He grabbed a small bottle of sweetened water for himself, and then took a bottle of protein milk and two cups from the insulated box next to him.

Watching Jiang Ran's actions, it was as if everything had returned to the way it was before. He was really considerate and thought of everything. He must like her, right?

Or perhaps she still has feelings for him, even if only a tiny bit.

Wen Ling suddenly felt that this choice was the right one!

If she is proactive, sincere, and respectful enough during the thirty days ahead, Jiang Ran will definitely come back to her when the day for the divorce certificate is finally issued!
