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

Jiang Ran stiffened when she was suddenly hugged like that.

Little did anyone expect that while he was still dealing with the door lock issue, there was an enemy behind him!

I thought Wen Ling had thought it through, but this time, her love came on fiercely.

Jiang Ran knew that from now on, it would be useless for him to say anything more.

Because this hug could be seen as an end in his eyes, but in Wen Ling's understanding it was a beginning.

He cannot let things continue like this!

Jiang Ran remained silent for a long time before finally raising his hand and personally prying Wen Ling's hand off.

He had his back to her.

He said those words to her, words that were enough to make her give up!

"Sister, please stop. I already have someone I like."

I already have someone I like.

I already have someone I like.

I have someone I like.

......

As if struck by lightning, Wen Ling stood there, her eyes wide, staring in disbelief at his back!

Didn't you say it was just a crush?

How come you suddenly have someone else you "like"?

"You lied to me, didn't you? You're lying! You said before that you only had a crush on me..."

She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment, and Wen Ling subconsciously reached out and grabbed Jiang Ran's arm!

"It's true."

Still with his back to her, Jiang Ran said calmly, "That's how it was originally. After our divorce is finalized, I will be with her. She has been waiting for me all along."

He hadn't originally intended to tell Wen Ling these things.

But reality no longer allows it.

Wen Ling has done so much for him, she has even become a different person. Jiang Ran has never seen Wen Ling shout so desperately so many times.

He couldn't bear to see such a powerful and aloof woman so humble and repeatedly begging in front of him.

His words, when they reached Wen Ling's ears, sounded like they came from a madman. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she shook her head repeatedly: "You're lying to me, it's all fake, you just wanted to make me give up, right? You're lying to me, it's all fake..."

"It's not fake!"

Jiang Ran turned around and saw Wen Ling with tears in her eyes and an expression of disbelief on her face.

The once aloof and powerful woman, now dressed in alluring clothes and with exquisite makeup, has reddened eyes, shaken her head repeatedly, her face filled with despair and a glimmer of hope...

Seeing this, Jiang Ran's heart softened, but only in his tone. He said earnestly, "It's true, sister. Today, you told me the truth, and I'll tell you the truth too. Ever since you rejected me that time, I've thought it through clearly. Our marriage is a contract marriage, just like you said, we'll each live our own lives..."

"You know what? We should have gotten a divorce the moment you got pregnant, but we dragged it out for a whole year."

"I've given up on our relationship. I've also wondered if it was a mistake from the start, but I've come to a clearer understanding."

Facing Wen Ling, Jiang Ran smiled magnanimously and said, word by word, "This is an obstacle in my life that I was destined to encounter."

Realizing that the past cannot be changed, but the future can be pursued, we realize that we have not strayed too far from the right path, and that what is right today was wrong yesterday.

Looking at Jiang Ran's open and honest expression, this line of poetry appeared in Wen Ling's mind.

A long time has passed, and Jiang Ran is able to say these words to her so frankly, which means he has already let go.

She was thinking, how could someone suddenly stop liking another person, no matter what effort she made, no matter how humbly she begged...

It turns out that during those days and nights when she secretly watched him, she thought they were still in love, but he had already moved on...

The sensation in her hands was so real; the fabric of the clothes was still rising in her palms. Jiang Ran, a living, breathing person, was standing right in front of her.

Seeing Wen Ling standing there in a daze, Jiang Ran sighed. He finally got to say what he had been holding back for so long, and he felt much better.

He forced a smile. "Sis, should you finally give up now?"

Give up on me.

Originally, we were from two different worlds.

Originally, we should all live our own lives and have our own paths in our respective social classes.

Originally, from the very beginning, this relationship was a tragic one!

His smile was carefree and devoid of any emotion. He just looked at Wen Ling and laughed without a care in the world, just like before.

However, after seeing such words and smiles so many times, Wen Ling had become somewhat immune to them.

Especially his radiant smile, the realism of the fabric in his hands, and all those past moments—like a madman—followed by Jiang Ran's face, their laughter, their playful banter, and his tenderness towards her when they were together...

Like a movie playing, scene after scene kept replaying in Wen Ling's mind, coming and going, merging into a whole, until she figured it out.

What she loved was the way Jiang Ran loved her.

Always.

She couldn't let go, couldn't allow other people to appear around Jiang Ran. Even just thinking about Jiang Ran smiling like that at other people made Wen Ling feel like she was about to explode with anger!

Jiang Ran should have been hers to begin with!

No?

He was chosen by her family, he was chosen by her own eye, and he was the one she wanted!

"It's okay."

Wen Ling suddenly stopped crying, and to Jiang Ran's surprise, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Looking at him, she said, "It's alright, everything is alright..."

Jiang Ran asked, puzzled, "What do you mean it's alright?"

"You have someone you like."

Wen Ling smiled at him, but her eyes were filled with desperate restraint and suppression. "It's alright, I'll make you fall in love with me again, everything is alright."

"..."

Is she crazy?

This sentence popped into Jiang Ran's mind.

Crazy, he's made himself so clear...

Forget it.

With a sigh, Jiang Ran stopped talking about the topic, because he finally understood that no matter how much he said, it would be useless to Wen Ling.

What she thinks is her own business. Jiang Ran just hopes that she will stop doing these useless things.

It's better for both of us.

"So, how exactly do we get out?"

With a sigh, Jiang Ran decided to first think of a way to treat Wen Ling's ankle.

Wen Ling was taken aback, then pondered for a moment: "I don't know... Oh, I remember, Wen Zhi seemed to have taken the first-aid kit from downstairs to the rooftop..."

"Go to the rooftop to get the first-aid kit?"

"Um...she said we might need it, so..."

"Is she crazy?! You two sisters are really..."

"..."

"What are you standing there for? Go upstairs!"

Jiang Ran stepped up two steps, only to find Wen Ling still standing there, motionless.

He rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, and resignedly got down, preparing to reach out and support Wen Ling.

However, Wen Ling released the armrest, staggered towards him, opened her arms, and looked at him with a smile, saying:

"Hold me."
