After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.
Chapter 187 You already have someone you like?
Wen Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, sitting lazily on the sofa. "I guess so~"
"..."
What does "consider" mean? Seeing Wen Zhi's shrewd and calculating expression, Jiang Ran suddenly felt like he was prey being targeted by a hunter.
To make sure Wen Zhi wouldn't say anything more nonsensical, Jiang Ran took the initiative and said, "Sister Zhizhi, what I wanted to say is that, actually, Sister Wen and I..."
"You mean you're already planning to get a divorce, right?"
Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, Wen Zhi's voice dropped, quite decisively.
Jiang Ran was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You know that, yet you still call him 'brother-in-law'?"
"So what?"
Wen Zhi raised her hand and ruffled her loose, long curly hair, saying nonchalantly, "We're not divorced yet, are we? Besides, what I call you is my business. I can call you whatever I want!"
If her sister doesn't understand, how could she not understand?
Men love it when they seem coy on the surface, but when someone actually calls them that firmly, they're probably secretly thrilled!
Although Jiang Ran is different, Jiang Ran is a man!
Men are all the same!
Wen Zhi is just like her sister.
They were both daughters raised in large families, and they both liked to speak in a forceful manner; there was no difference between them.
Jiang Ran didn't intend to argue with her, but just sighed and said, "Sister Zhizhi, I don't know if Sister Wen told you, but we're not from the same world. All those things from before are in the past, and there's no need to get entangled with them anymore."
His words were a declaration of his determination to get a divorce.
Wen Zhi understood perfectly well; otherwise, she wouldn't have been here.
She smiled and looked at Jiang Ran: "Oh, so what do you think defines two people as belonging to the same world?"
"Well......"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment before replying, "They should at least be from the same social class. Marriage is a long-term commitment, a lifetime of entanglement, and a lifetime is too long."
In these mundane moments, the daily necessities of life and their drastically different consumption views are things that cannot be reconciled.
These words seemed to evoke some memories for Wen Zhi.
She looked at Jiang Ran, her gaze seemingly drawn away.
Wen Zhi remembered that a long time ago, there seemed to be someone exactly like Jiang Ran who said the exact same thing to her.
Back then, Wen Zhi didn't understand these things, but now, with the passage of time, her understanding of them has gradually deepened.
Wen Zhi smiled faintly, "There are no two people in this world who are exactly the same. Class and family background are just excuses."
Looking at Wen Zhi, Jiang Ran suddenly lost the desire to continue communicating with her. What she understood was completely different from what Jiang Ran was saying.
It's fair to say that at this very moment, the two of them weren't even on the same topic.
"That's something for unmarried people to consider; marriage and dating shouldn't be confused."
Jiang Ran left those words behind and silently poured herself a cup of tea.
There's no need to continue this discussion, because they're not on the same level.
Watching Jiang Ran silently sip his tea, Wen Zhi frowned slightly. The scene of Jiang Ran helping Xia Yunxi carry her luggage flashed through her mind. She stared at Jiang Ran and asked, "I heard from my sister that you already have someone you like?"
"I wouldn't say I like him, I'd just say I have a good impression of him."
Now that they were in the cooling-off period, there was no need to hide this from anyone, so Jiang Ran's answer was straightforward.
"Oh, so you're planning to get together with that person after you divorce my sister, right?"
"...I don't need to tell you that, Sister Zhizhi."
"Oh."
Wen Zhi smiled slightly.
At the same time, footsteps suddenly sounded at the bottom of the stairs, and the two of them turned their heads to look.
It's Xia Yunxi.
She had changed into a white dress and stood in the middle of the stairs, her hand on the handrail, looking timidly at the two of them. "Um... Miss Wen Zhi, I've put my things away. May I go to the maid's room to rest now?"
Wen Zhi narrowed her eyes, not in a hurry to reply, but looked at Jiang Ran: "I'm asking you, brother-in-law, do you have anything else to tell her?"
This is a test.
Wen Zhi also wanted to know how far their relationship had progressed, and why Xia Yunxi had gotten entangled with Jiang Ran and her sister even though she knew they were still married.
Whether they understood or not, the divorce was a done deal. They hadn't done anything wrong, so there was no need for them to hide like rats.
Jiang Ran said calmly, "No, Yunxi, you should go and rest."
Like Wen Zhi and Wen Ling, he also directly called out the name "Yun Xi".
However, Wen Zhi heard it very clearly: Jiang Ran's tone when he uttered those two words was completely different from theirs!
Xia Yunxi clenched her fist, replied "Okay," and went to the back room.
The food delivery personnel arrived at that time.
The group of people at the head of the group dragged many large styrofoam boxes and rang the doorbell of the villa.
"Come in."
Wen Zhi responded, and as the door opened, Jiang Ran saw several chefs dragging suitcases towards them, asking, "Sir, Madam, shall we begin our meal now?"
"Okay, you guys go to the kitchen and get ready. Just call us when you're done."
Wen Zhi didn't even turn her head, just responded with a sound and waved at them.
The group moved quickly, as if they were used to seeing young ladies like this, and dragged the styrofoam box to the restaurant.
Soon, the sound of cleavers chopping vegetables could be heard from inside the restaurant.
Jiang Ran had never seen anything like this before.
He looked at Wen Zhi with some surprise, "Don't food delivery services usually prepare the food first and then bring it over?"
"Sashimi tastes best when it's freshly cut; who would like to eat it when it's overcooked!"
Wen Zhi rolled her eyes, and while responding, she looked at her phone screen. When she saw the time on it, she immediately frowned.
"Hello!"
She put down her teacup and looked at Jiang Ran with a rather serious expression.
Jiang Ran was taken aback: "Uh, huh?"
"Do you remember how long my sister has been up there?"
"...20 minutes?"
Mentioning this, Jiang Ran frowned as well. He glanced at his phone screen, estimating the time he'd been down. "I came down at 12:30, and it's 1:00 now. Sister Wen must have been up there for about 30 minutes, right?"
He didn't think much of it; after all, girls can take up to three hours to change clothes and put on makeup, let alone just a short while...
Wen Zhi suddenly stood up, pointed at Jiang Ran, and said, "You, come upstairs with me, my sister is acting strange!"
"Something's not right... Hey! What are you doing!"
Before Jiang Ran could react, Wen Zhi grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the sofa.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhi's reprimanding voice descended!
"Hey you brat, you're supposed to be the only man my sister has ever slept with, have you even bothered to understand her?! She's never taken more than 20 minutes to change clothes!"
