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

After talking for so long, have we finally gotten to the point?

Looking at the black card on the coffee table, Xia Yunxi suddenly felt like laughing.

What does it mean to buy out a year of her youth for a million? She wanted to be with Jiang Ran and waited for him for so long, of course it wasn't for that little bit of money.

Xia Yunxi's eyes flickered, but she didn't put the document away. She simply said, "Jiang Ran is getting a divorce soon, we..."

"He can't leave."

Wen Zhi was getting impatient. She scratched her hair in frustration and gestured towards the drone outside the window. "Can't you see clearly? My sister likes him, and I think he's worthy of being my brother-in-law. What, do you think you're better than the two of us?"

"......"

Wen Zhi sighed: "Besides, don't you think your career is the most important thing, more so than a man?"

Xia Yunxi bit her lip. "Then, Miss Wen probably thinks the same way."

"Are you kidding me? My sister has plenty of money!"

Wen Zhi had lost the desire to continue talking to Xia Yunxi. She could see right through Xia Yunxi's life at a glance. Being trapped in that kind of perception for more than 20 years was not something that could be changed overnight.

Wen Zhi raised her hand and tapped the black card, continuing to raise the stakes: "If that's not enough, just name your price, we can add more."

"..."

So they're just throwing money at her to make her leave?

Xia Yunxi understood what Wen Zhi meant. To be honest, facing the Wen sisters, Wen Zhi and Wen Ling, and the mysterious Wen family behind them, Xia Yunxi knew that she was nothing more than a fish on a chopping board.

One million is indeed a huge sum of money for her.

This would solve her immediate problem, and then she could go back to her hometown, buy a small house, do whatever she wants, and live a peaceful and stable life.

but......

Seeing Xia Yunxi hesitate, Wen Zhi narrowed her eyes: "Yunxi, you should know that my time is worth a fortune, and my net worth is far beyond what someone like you can compare to. The only reason I'm sitting here negotiating with you is because of my brother-in-law."

The unspoken message is, "Don't be ungrateful."

Xia Yunxi understood. Her gaze was fixed on the black card. After a long silence, she raised her face and looked at Wen Zhi, "Five million."

Yo.

Wen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

I thought it would cost tens of millions, but it turns out they're just asking for a pittance.

Without saying a word, Wen Zhi casually took out a stack of checks and a pen from her bag, signed her name on the checks, and decisively tore them off and placed them on the table.

A check for four million and a card for one million were laid out so blatantly on the table.

Although she couldn't suppress the urge to continue her relationship with Jiang Ran, the immediate benefits were undeniable.

Without this money, given her abilities, it would probably take her a very long time to earn it.

Xia Yunxi swallowed and leaned forward slightly.

Just as she was about to take the checks and cards into her hands, Wen Zhi's hand suddenly appeared on them, pressing down on a pen.

"Let's draw up a written agreement first, in duplicate, so you won't go back on your word later."

"How...how do I stand up?"

Wen Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Just write that due to personal reasons, you can no longer wait, that you have found someone new you like, and that you have already agreed to marry them."

"..."

Five million, and a written agreement.

Just write this paragraph, and you'll have five million.

Compared to the 30,000 yuan she earns with hard work each month, this 5 million yuan is simply an astronomical price.

Xia Yunxi remained silent for a long time before finally picking up the pen and writing a letter to Jiang Ran, following the message Wen Zhi had given her.

......

Rooftop.

The cold wind of night had already blown in, and Wen Ling's shoulders were red from the cold in the pavilion.

Her injured foot was resting on the recliner, and it had already been treated with medicine.

The air was filled with the scent of safflower oil.

Without a cell phone or any entertainment devices, Jiang Ran watched the twinkling stars in the dark sky for a long time before his gaze drifted to the group of drones.

He was truly at his wit's end and looked at Wen Ling, "Sis, when are we going to take that thing back?"

"have no idea."

Wen Ling shook her head, her gaze falling on the characters "Jiang & Wen," which made her heart flutter. "What? You don't like it?"

Jiang Ran touched his nose. "...I feel a little embarrassed."

Wen Ling's eyes flickered as she looked intently at Jiang Ran: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't you think it's romantic?"

"...Sis, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about romance?"

"Um?"

"Isn't the prerequisite for romance to be that two people like each other? I don't..."

Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, Wen Ling suddenly covered his mouth with her hand.

Looking through her arm, Jiang Ran noticed the hurt in her eyes. She said unhappily, "I already know about this, so don't keep emphasizing it."

Wen Ling's voice was somewhat soft, and her words clearly implored him.

Feeling the coolness of her fingers and the sincerity before him, Jiang Ran finally sighed.

He didn't say anything more, but silently took off his suit jacket and draped it over Wen Ling's shoulders.

The sudden movement and the warmth of the body inside the coat startled Wen Ling, making her stiffen. She stared blankly at Jiang Ran's thin, see-through white shirt, instinctively wanting to refuse.

"No, I'm not that cold yet, you should wear it..."

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? You've said so much, just wear it already!"

Jiang Ran muttered a curse and turned her head away, hiding her face from Wen Ling's view.

He's like a little kid.

His actions, however, were very sincere.

Isn't this just worrying that she's not dressed warmly enough and will catch a cold?

The coat still held Jiang Ran's body heat, and it felt warm against my shoulders, as if my whole heart was being supported.

Looking at Jiang Ran's awkward back, Wen Ling's determination deepened.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud "bang" was heard as the door opened at the top of the rooftop staircase.

First, several servants carried exquisite plates of food, and then bodyguards carried a large table, walking up in a very conspicuous manner.

Behind them, Wen Zhi, holding a bottle of red wine, approached step by step with a smile.

"Hey, you two, enjoying the sea breeze?"

Upon meeting, Wen Zhi made a cheeky joke.

Jiang Ran was still angry about being locked up. He rolled his eyes, stood up speechlessly, and walked downstairs, saying to Wen Zhi, "Your sister twisted her ankle. Find a doctor to bandage it for her."

"ah?!"

Wen Zhi was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask her sister's concern, she saw her sister's anxious movements as she stood up to chase after her.

Wen Zhi realized what was happening and quickly turned to Jiang Ran, saying, "Wait a minute, where are you going? You're not going to take care of my sister, are you?"

Jiang Ran didn't even turn her head: "You're already here, so it's your job!"

"stop!"

Wen Zhi moved swiftly, putting down the red wine and blocking Jiang Ran's way.

In front of Jiang Ran, Wen Zhi said calmly, "There's no one downstairs anymore. If you want to eat, stay here. I've already had dinner prepared."

Jiang Ran frowned: "What do you mean there's no one here?"

"Just go downstairs and see for yourself!"
