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

Jiang Ran, who had finally calmed down and came out of the kitchen, still felt her heart race when she met Wen Ling's gaze again.

With slightly trembling hands, he placed the bowl on the table and sat down obediently at the corner of the cool, folding table.

He was wrong.

The mistake was that he mistakenly thought that as long as Wen Ling changed into a dress, he would not feel that sense of tension under her authority when facing her again.

Her temperament is innate; even now, when Wen Ling is dressed in a sexy dress that is completely opposite to her usual style, she still exudes an aloof and unapproachable aura.

It seemed that even glancing at her would be a desecration.

Staring at Jiang Ran's drooping head, Wen Ling's eyes flickered, and she asked with a hint of amusement, "Are you nervous?"

"Hmm...no, it can't be..."

Jiang Ran, who had only nodded halfway, tensed up and quickly shook his head.

"Then why don't you look at me?"

"I......"

Jiang Ran cautiously raised her eyes, only to meet Wen Ling's straight gaze.

Another difference from her usual attire was that she wasn't wearing glasses.

The glasses added a touch of asceticism to her usual suit attire.

But now, without her glasses, her true "older sister" charm is finally showing.

Jiang Ran was so nervous that her fingers were twirling under the table.

Unexpectedly, simply changing her style startled her younger brother so much that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Wen Ling's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but look forward to what he would do in the event that was about to happen.

"Relax, I won't eat people."

She kindly offered words of comfort, and even cracked a joke along the way.

The tense atmosphere lessened considerably. Jiang Ran swallowed hard, but her words remained hesitant, "Sister...sister, why did you suddenly change your dress...?"

"Didn't you want a sense of contrast?"

Wen Ling glanced at it, rested her elbow on the armrest of the chair, and rubbed her slender fingers against her pointed chin, pondering, "Is this contrast enough?"

"Well......"

Is she always this direct and excessive in her speech?!

As if struck by lightning, Jiang Ran shivered and looked up abruptly, meeting Wen Ling's serious and sharp gaze.

He admitted that it was really difficult to make eye contact with such a cool and aloof beauty with a strong "older sister" vibe for three seconds.

"That should be enough..."

Jiang Ran murmured, "If you smiled again, perhaps this icy tension would melt away instantly..."

But since the older sister has already "obediently" put on the dress, if he makes any further requests, wouldn't that be a bit too much of a pushover?

Jiang Ran didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"oh."

Wen Ling nodded, tapping her fingertip on the table, and said calmly, "Then the reaction you described should also be possible, right?"

"..."

Almost every word her sister said resonated deeply with Jiang Ran!

We haven't even eaten yet, and they're already bringing up cooking again...

If he can't break through the tension now, things will really go wrong once we get to the room!

Jiang Ran closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, took a deep breath, forced herself to lift her face to meet Wen Ling's gaze, and gritted her teeth, saying, "It should be fine."

"That's good."

Wen Ling nodded, tapped her index finger lightly, and said, "Let's start eating."

It was another commanding tone, an air of authority that seemed innate and natural.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath, picked up a spoon, scooped a large spoonful of rice for herself, and then picked up her chopsticks.

To be honest, this scene was just too shocking.

A large villa with a geometric design, a floating dining table full of artistic atmosphere, a sexy and elegant older sister, and him dressed as a college student.

There were also scrambled eggs with tomatoes and hot and sour shredded potatoes on the table...

Uh......

Not only was it incongruous, but Jiang Ran even felt that the scene was slightly eerie.

He was too nervous; he had to find something to say to ease the tension...

Watching Wen Ling gracefully pick up a shredded potato with her chopsticks and chew it, Jiang Ran pursed her lips and asked somewhat nervously, "How is it, sister? Is it to your liking?"

Wen Ling frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with what was being said during the meal.

However, when her gaze met Jiang Ran's slightly expectant eyes, she didn't say anything, but simply nodded.

"call."

Jiang Ran visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

To ease the tension, he quickly picked up the spoon beside him and said, "Sister, this is my specialty—tomato and egg stir-fry. It tastes best when mixed with rice!"

"..."

He acted like a lively and cheerful child, introducing himself with great enthusiasm, which didn't make Wen Ling feel disgusted.

Wen Ling silently pushed the bowl forward.

Jiang Ran, who immediately understood, quickly took the bowl and poured the vegetables into it.

Then, he skillfully picked up Wen Ling's chopsticks and stirred the food in the bowl, smiling as he said, "Every year during the Spring Festival, when my aunt and uncle come back, my mom prepares lots of delicious food at home in advance, and this is Chen Jingyu's favorite!"

Knowing that Chen Jingyu was Jiang Ran's aunt's daughter, Wen Ling didn't say anything, but silently looked at the rice that had been mixed, with red, yellow and white stripes, and every grain of rice was covered with tomato sauce.

Just looking at the chaotic scene, Wen Ling's appetite diminished considerably.

This was the first time she had ever eaten this kind of food.

Under Jiang Ran's expectant gaze, as if possessed, Wen Ling picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.

Just as Jiang Ran said, it tasted very good, but there wasn't much oil in it.

Wen Ling raised an eyebrow.

"How is it, sister? Is it delicious?"

"It's acceptable."

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Wen Ling coldly uttered two words.

If it doesn't cause any offense, that's the greatest compliment!

Jiang Ran became excited instantly and hurriedly said, "I was a little rushed today, so I made some simple home-style dishes. If you want to eat anything in the future, you can tell me. My mom made me learn to cook a long time ago, so I can cook most of the dishes."

Seeing Jiang Ran's excited expression as he told her this, the steaming food in front of her seemed to have an added touch of warmth and life.

Wen Ling, who was used to eating alone, felt a sense of peace.

On such an ordinary day, there was a chattering younger brother beside me, full of enthusiasm, as if I had returned to the noisy times when I ate with my sister.

It was lively and bustling.

Wen Ling unconsciously curled her lips into a smile as she gazed gently at Jiang Ran, whose eyebrows were dancing with excitement.

"While my skills may not be as good as a master chef's, I can definitely learn to make it if you want to eat it..."

Just as they were getting into the conversation, Jiang Ran's voice suddenly softened when he met Wen Ling's slightly upturned lips.

Sister, you smiled?

Indeed, the ice and snow have melted.

The natural, commanding presence she exuded vanished the moment she slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Instead, she possesses a gentle and kind demeanor, like that of a girl next door.

Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat!

Seriously, Sister Wen, it's fine for her to laugh, but why does that sudden look of tenderness appear in her eyes?!
