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

"..."

Jiang Ran watched as she walked towards him with a smile.

She does look good in purple.

The skirt clung tightly to her long, slender legs, her waist swaying with the movement, and her slightly protruding belly added a touch of deadly allure.

As she approached, Jiang Ran caught a faint scent of roses in the sea breeze.

Seeing that Jiang Ran didn't speak, Wen Ling's cheeks felt hot. She bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes.

It was also the first time she had seen Jiang Ran in a suit.

Jiang Ran always dressed like a college student, and most of the time, Wen Ling would subconsciously treat him as a younger brother, only knowing in her heart that he was her husband.

But now, Jiang Ran, dressed in a suit, is tall and slender, and the tie around his neck exudes an overwhelming sense of maturity.

To be honest, she was also quite nervous.

In addition, there's her concern about her out-of-shape figure.

She wasn't as slim as before, especially in such tight clothes; almost all the flesh on her body was squeezed out, making her look like she was standing naked in front of Jiang Ran...

Why aren't you saying anything?

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look up at Jiang Ran's expression, and her voice came out somewhat reservedly.

"......No."

Jiang Ran pursed her lips and gave her evaluation very seriously, "It looks good."

Like a fawn, Wen Ling's eyes lit up instantly. She raised her face, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Really?"

Jiang Ran found it difficult to refuse such a question, so he nodded and hummed in agreement.

Her heart raced at that moment, and Wen Ling couldn't help but reach out and take Jiang Ran's arm, praising him without reservation, "You look beautiful today too, it's the first time I've ever seen you like this."

"..."

Noticing the movement in her hand, Jiang Ran stiffened and looked down at the hand that was holding hers.

Jiang Ran knew very well what Wen Ling was doing.

These past few days, although she hasn't explicitly said that this trip was also driven by the desire to "not have any regrets," she has been far too enthusiastic.

Compared to before, she was much more enthusiastic and much more proactive towards him.

They are getting a divorce.

This matter has already been initiated, and there's no point in dwelling on it any longer.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and before Wen Ling could say another word, he forcefully withdrew his hand.

"Huh?"

Wen Ling was taken aback, and then she saw Jiang Ran naturally keeping a slight distance from her.

Everything was fine before, including her taking his hand and eating with him; they were even at the same table...

Just like before, Wen Ling subconsciously said, "Weren't we supposed to be looking at the scenery? Let's go over to the railing together!"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch him again.

But the moment he raised his hand, Jiang Ran subtly dodged it!

The more excited she was just moments ago, the more disappointed she felt now. Wen Ling's hand hung limply in the air, and she couldn't understand why.

Jiang Ran said she was pretty, so why is she avoiding him now?!

"Why won't you let me pull you?"

Wen Ling frowned and asked aloud.

Jiang Ran smiled calmly at this: "When enjoying the scenery, you don't need to hold hands, do you?"

"But before all..."

Wen Ling was about to say something, but then she changed her tone instantly: "Didn't I say? You called me 'sister,' and we only held hands, nothing else happened..."

As she spoke, she deliberately turned her face away from Jiang Ran's expression.

"Then why not just stand side by side to enjoy the scenery instead of holding hands?"

Jiang Ran remained calm as he spoke, stepping towards the glass railing.

Seeing that Jiang Ran did not hesitate at all, Wen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then became a little anxious!

She instinctively tried to catch up, but having worn flat shoes for so long, the sudden change to high heels caught her off guard. She twisted her ankle and fell forward, landing hard on the ground.

Just before she fell to the ground, Wen Ling subconsciously raised her hand to grab Jiang Ran's sleeve. However, he was walking too fast, and she couldn't grab it. She just fell to the ground!

With a "thud"!

Hearing the noise behind him, Jiang Ran subconsciously turned around and saw Wen Ling squatting on the ground. Looking down, he could clearly see two halves of her snow-white skin.

Wen Ling sat on the ground, her arm aching from the fall, still not having reacted.

Before she could react, she realized she hadn't grabbed Jiang Ran's arm, and before she could react, she had fallen right in front of him, dressed so nicely...

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Ran quickly turned back. He bent down, took her arm, and tried to help her up, while hurriedly asking, "Are you alright, sis? You...?"

Before he could finish his words of concern, Wen Ling suddenly looked up. Her long hair framed her fair face, her eyes slightly red, and it seemed as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

He must have hurt himself from the fall!

Wen Ling had just recovered; how could she possibly recover from such a fall?!

Jiang Ran's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Let me help you up. Don't wear high heels for a while. You haven't worn them in so long; you need some time to get used to them..."

He rambled on and on, but it was all words of concern for her.

Wen Ling's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Jiang Ran's sleeve and, unable to contain herself any longer, asked him the question:

"You really don't like me anymore, do you?"

"..."

To my utter surprise, she suddenly threw out such a question.

Jiang Ran paused, his expression complex.

Seeing that Jiang Ran didn't respond, Wen Ling became emotional. She grabbed Jiang Ran's arm, her fingers clenching so tightly that the veins stood on end, and asked again, "Tell me, you really don't like me anymore, do you?"

"..."

Just like before, nothing changed in the apartment, and in the end, she still asked the same question.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and he stood up without making a sound, no longer looking at her.

Seeing Jiang Ran get up, Wen Ling lost all interest in helping him up and grabbed his trouser leg.

She bit her lower lip hard, using her free hand to brace herself against the floor, straightening her body, and sitting curled up on the floor. Her voice lowered, "Was it really necessary not to give me an answer?"

"...I already answered that a long time ago, Miss Wen."

Jiang Ran reverted to her former aloofness. Knowing that Wen Ling was still pulling hard on her trouser leg, Jiang Ran stood still, her gaze fixed on the distant sea.

The sun had already set halfway down, but the sea was still golden. The beach was packed with people, and a grand bonfire party was about to begin tonight.

Everyone is celebrating.

Jiang Ran couldn't hear their voices, only the sound of waves crashing against the shore, "splashing" as each wave crashed onto the beach.

But next time, it will still try its best...

Just like Wen Ling.

She shook her head and said, "I don't believe it..."
