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

All the hard work and effort along the way seemed to vanish into nothingness at this moment.

He was simply telling the truth, but that truth shone like a ray of sunshine into the deepest darkness of Wen Ling's heart.

Wen Ling suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

It turns out that all this time, she had never truly understood Jiang Ran's heart.

It turns out that saying was true: sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

It turns out that all this time, she had never truly treated him as an independent person, never looked at him with respect, and never treated him fairly...

Jiang Ran's carefree expression made Wen Ling feel utterly ashamed.

Perhaps from the very beginning, what she wanted was the sun-like light emanating from Jiang Ran...

Wen Ling's eyes darkened, then she suddenly smiled: "Take a few days off, then come with me on a trip."

She didn't look at Jiang Ran, but took the initiative to extend an invitation to him.

"Huh?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback, not expecting Wen Ling to take the initiative to invite him.

He and Xia Yunxi had already made plans. In a few days, around New Year's Eve, he would take a few days off and go on a trip with Xia Yunxi.

It's only the 21st now, and there are still 10 days until the 31st of the month.

Let's consider this our honeymoon.

Wen Ling shifted her gaze to the car window, no longer looking at Jiang Ran, and simply chuckled as she said, "This is my first time getting married, and I probably won't have it again. I want to try all the experiences that come with it."

She knew very well that if she let Jiang Ran go today, there would be no future for them.

No matter how suitable the excuse she found, she was helpless as long as Jiang Ran refused her.

She still didn't want to accept that outcome.

"..."

Wen Ling rarely spoke such truths to him.

For the first time, her gaze was no longer domineering, but rather like that of an old friend, a perfectly normal invitation.

Jiang Ran is very busy this month. In addition to work, she also has to think about where to go with Xia Yunxi.

Wen Ling was also the first woman he had ever met in his life.

Giving this flawed relationship a perfect ending is the dignity Jiang Ran has always wanted.

"it is good."

Jiang Ran agreed.

However, he smiled and made a request to Wen Ling, "But, Sister Wen, I need your help with something."

Wen Ling turned her head, suppressing her excitement, and said, "Go ahead."

"Could you find someone to cook for me and go to the construction site every day? I'll be taking many days off in a row, and I can't let the workers go hungry, can I?"

Other restaurants near the construction site are quite far away. Besides, Jiang Ran has been working here for a year, and there are many workers coming and going. They all went to eat his boxed lunches because they trusted him from the beginning.

He couldn't let people's trust be betrayed.

Seemingly anticipating Jiang Ran's response, Wen Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

"Thank you so much, Sister Wen!"

Jiang Ran smiled and thanked Wen Ling as if she were a friendly older sister.

Liu Wan drove Jiang Ran back to her apartment building. After watching Jiang Ran get out of the car, Wen Ling opened the calendar on her phone.

They didn't agree on the overall duration of the trip, but based on a preliminary seven-day trip, Wen Ling had many places she wanted to visit.

One location a day seems perfectly sufficient.

"Prepare your aircraft in advance. I will send you the flight routes for the next few days later."

Before getting out of the car at Junlan Mansion Villa, Wen Ling gave Liu Wan an order.

Liu Wan nodded, "Yes, President Wen."

Back at the villa, Wen Ling went straight to her office, searching for the best place to go during the next few hours.

The Northern Lights in Iceland, the Norwegian Forest, the snowscapes of Switzerland...

There are too many locations.

These are also places that traditional newlyweds would go to on their honeymoon.

The Wen family's listed companies are located in the United States, and their industries are spread all over the world. Wen Ling only goes there when she is on a business trip, and even then, she stays in the company for the whole day.

This was the first time in Wen Ling's life that she had ever left work behind to simply go out and have fun.

She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to ask Wen Zhi for advice.

Wen Zhi: [He agreed to go on a trip with you? That's great, sis!]

After listening to Wen Ling's 59-second voice message, Wen Zhi excitedly replied.

Wen Ling: [Hmm, now I need you to help me think of a good location for the first meeting.]

The chat box keeps displaying "The other party is typing".

Three minutes later, Wen Zhi's message popped up: [How about we come to the beach? Perfect timing, I'm near Ao Island, and I'm also planning to go to Haikou!]

Upon seeing this message, Wen Ling's eyes lit up.

Jiang Ran is now becoming difficult to control on her own.

If Wen Zhi were by my side, the three of us might be able to make it work?

Wen Zhi is a clever girl. By being face-to-face with others while keeping them out of the loop, Jiang Ran might be able to see her good qualities.

Wen Ling put down her phone and quickly typed out the first stop of her 7-day travel plan: to the seaside.

......

The news of Jiang Ran's leave request quickly spread among her coworkers. This was the first time Jiang Ran had taken such a long leave after working continuously for more than a year.

The workers didn't have any objections. Unlike Jiang Ran, most of them had families to support, while Jiang Ran was only 24 years old, an age when he was free to let his mind wander.

It's normal to go out and have fun, especially since Jiang Ran specially hired someone to cook for them before going out.

Jiang Ran's online reputation soared, and her account was temporarily suspended from updates.

The second day of the divorce cooling-off period.

Jiang Ran, still dragging that slightly scratched leather suitcase, appeared outside the Junlan Mansion villa area at 9:00 AM sharp.

"Brother Jiang, long time no see! I haven't seen you around lately, busy with work, huh?"

Zhang Tao poked his head out of the security booth at the entrance, smiling and trying to get closer to Jiang Ran.

"Yes, I've been busy for over a year and haven't been back much."

Jiang Ran smiled and continued playing on her phone.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao didn't say anything more, but his gaze toward Jiang Ran became even more admiring.

He plays on his phone every day and has come across videos called "Boxed Lunch Xiao Jiang". Although the person in the video rarely shows his face, he knows it is Jiang Ran from his voice.

Jiang Ran has such a nice villa in real life, but she doesn't come to live there. Instead, she gets up early every day to set up a stall and sell boxed lunches. There's really nothing to criticize about her.

Just past 9:05, a black van slowly drove out of the villa. Zhang Tao quickly released the door stop and watched as the van pulled up and stopped in front of Jiang Ran.

Then, Liu Wan, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car and ran to help Jiang Ran load his luggage into the car.

The back door was opened, and Jiang Ran got into the car without looking up.

But the moment he got into the car, the two women he saw gave Jiang Ran goosebumps all over!

The person sitting in the main seat directly opposite was indeed Wen Ling, but the one sitting cautiously next to her, carrying a large package, was a servant whom Wen Ling had hired over a year ago.

That is, after his divorce, he wanted to try dating someone, and he got together with Xia, Yun, and Xi!
