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

Wen Ling's voice was indifferent, her gaze drifting into the distance. "The Wen family has partnerships over there, and the villa has been there for a long time. I don't usually go there."

"oh......"

Jiang Ran responded, blinked, and asked, "So, does that mean the three of us will all be living in the villa?"

The three people he referred to were Wen Ling, himself, and Xia Yunxi.

Wen Ling heard that it was herself, Jiang Ran, and Wen Zhi, who had arrived there early in the morning.

Completely bewildered as to how Jiang Ran knew Wen Zhi was also going, Wen Ling nodded subconsciously, "Yes, the villa over there is similar to Junlan Mansion, with many rooms."

"oh oh."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she said those words, Wen Ling regretted it!

Why did she say so much?! She even said there are many rooms; how am I supposed to tell Jiang Ran they're sleeping in the same room?!

She closed her eyes briefly and clicked her tongue softly.

This slight movement reached Jiang Ran's ears. Just then, he finished eating, put down his fork, and looked at Wen Ling. "Sister, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Wen Ling was a little annoyed at the moment. After thinking for a moment, she still explained, "But, the rooms over there may not have been cleaned yet. The master bedroom should be very big."

Isn't that obvious enough?!

She practically said out loud that she wanted to sleep in the same room as Jiang Ran!

However, Jiang Ran seemed not to understand and replied, "Oh, that's okay, I'm not that particular. I brought a set of disposable bedding, I'll just put it on the bed then."

"..."

So, should all manufacturers of disposable products just go to hell?

Wen Ling felt like cursing right now.

"Cleaning is too much trouble. The main purpose is to go out and have fun. We don't have much time, so it's unnecessary."

She picked up her cup and took another sip to ease the awkwardness.

"It's okay. You girls are particular about these things when you go out, but we guys don't care about these things. As long as there's a sleeper berth to sleep in, that's fine, hehe..."

He was laughing like a fool.

Wen Ling paused, holding her cup. At this moment, she really wanted to take apart Jiang Ran's head to see if he truly couldn't understand what she was saying!

She's made it so obvious, wasn't he supposed to be quite clever before? How come he can't understand a single word now?!

Or is there something wrong with how she expressed herself?

Wen Ling got caught up in repeatedly reviewing the situation.

The tableware was taken away, and Jiang Ran leaned against the window, looking at the view below.

This was the first time in his life he had ever been on an airplane.

I never expected it to happen this way.

Come to think of it, it seems that he has given many firsts to Wen Ling in his life, and this tribulation was his destiny.

It's almost over!

After returning home, Jiang Ran planned to visit his parents before the Chinese New Year, to tell them about his divorce from Wen Ling and the reasons for their marriage, and then use the money he had saved to buy his father a new car.

His parents have raised him for so many years, it's time for him to repay them and take on the responsibilities of an adult.

Watching Jiang Ran's retreating figure, and with the thought that saying more would only make things worse, Wen Ling remained silent.

Seeing the look of curiosity on his face as soon as he boarded the plane, Wen Ling felt very happy.

These things were already commonplace to her, and her daily life was the same repetitive one; she had long been bored to the core.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, seemed like a little angel who had wandered into her world, showing such curiosity about everything she was already tired of in her daily life.

She didn't mind Jiang Ran visiting her world; in fact, at this moment, she wanted to offer Jiang Ran something even better.

Let him experience a different kind of life, one that belongs to her.

In other words, Wen Ling wanted him to understand her.

It's that simple.

......

The landing time is 11:05.

The plane taxied and slowed down on the smooth tracks at the airport. Jiang Ran, who had already taken a nap on the plane, was woken up by Wen Ling and followed her off the plane in a daze.

Like taking a child out, Wen Ling walked at the front, through the VIP passage, and the car that was there to pick her up was already waiting at the airport entrance.

After putting their belongings in the trunk, Xia Yunxi watched Wen Ling and Jiang Ran get into the car in front before getting into her own. As the car started moving, she clenched her fists and silently got into the car behind her.

The two cars crossed the coastal highway, and Jiang Ran was drenched in sweat from the sudden heat of the December coast.

Especially since the air conditioning wasn't on in the car, the interior, having absorbed the sun's heat, was unusually stuffy, and Jiang Ran couldn't resist unzipping her down jacket.

At the same time, he looked at Wen Ling, who was still wrapped in a thick cotton nightgown beside him: "Sis, aren't you hot?"

Wen Ling felt okay. Perhaps her body energy hadn't fully recovered, and coupled with her cool constitution, she only felt a little heat.

"fine."

Wen Ling responded, and seeing the beads of sweat on Jiang Ran's forehead, she smiled slightly and took out a stack of tissues from her bag.

Instead of handing it to Jiang Ran, she took out a tissue and wiped Jiang Ran's forehead directly.

Wen Ling's movements were very gentle, as if she were handling a child.

"..."

This sudden action, coupled with the faint milky scent emanating from Wen Ling, left Jiang Ran somewhat at a loss.

What, what are you doing? This is way too intimate!

His ears turned slightly red, and he quickly snatched the tissue from Wen Ling's hand. "No, no need, sis, I can do it myself."

What's going on? Why are you suddenly wiping his sweat? Didn't we make things clear yesterday? Wen Ling can't still like him, can she?!

At this point, she should give up!

Seeing him nervously lower his head again, Wen Ling clearly caught a glimpse of his slightly reddened ears.

In all these days, this is the only time she's taken the initiative, and Jiang Ran is already this shy...

Compared to her previous domineering presence on the sofa and in the kitchen, this contrast made Wen Ling's heart itch with desire.

She was in high spirits: "I can take off my down jacket now. It's almost noon, and the temperature will rise to over 30 degrees Celsius, which is no different from summer in Beijing."

"......oh."

Jiang Ran lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice, obediently taking off his cotton-padded coat.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

In summer, you can mix and match white T-shirts; when it gets cold, you can rely entirely on a down jacket for protection.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Jiang Ran's slightly sheer white T-shirt.

Wen Ling noticed the muscles in his arm that he had developed from years of flipping large ladles, carrying large pots, and pulling carts.

Still at this close distance.

The most noticeable change compared to a year ago is that my arms look much yellower from the sun.

The reserved, nervous boy who used to be so respectful to her seems to have truly grown into an adult this past year...
