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

With her face tilted back, the words seemed to be spat out through clenched teeth. Wen Ling gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with furious anger.

It was all a lie; he just wanted a divorce.

Jiang Ran turned her face away, her tone indifferent: "What do you mean by 'when'? I don't understand what you're talking about..."

Are you so guilty that you don't even dare to talk to her?

Wen Ling was trembling with anger as she managed to ask the question with difficulty: "I'm asking you, when did you and her start doing this?"

"..."

"How many times did you do it? Where did you do it? What positions did you use? Like we used to, you and her..."

"That's enough!"

Hearing Wen Ling's increasingly outrageous questions, Jiang Ran couldn't take it anymore!

He turned abruptly to Wen Ling, "It's just what you think, I've done everything, okay?"

"They did everything..."

Wen Ling's tone softened instantly. At such close range, she could see the anger, resentment, and impatience in Jiang Ran's eyes.

Those were all emotions I felt towards her.

It's exactly the same as when we were on the stairs.

He was criticizing her.

She was accused of meddling, accused of breaking her word...

Seeing Wen Ling suddenly lose her temper, he figured that as long as he could make her give up, the next step would be to achieve his desired divorce.

Jiang Ran's eyes flickered, and she continued with a cold laugh, "Everything you've ever thought of, everything we've experienced together, we've done..."

"Stop talking."

Wen Ling loosened her grip on Jiang Ran's collar, lowered her eyes, and listened to Jiang Ran's narration, even conjuring up images of him and Xia Yunxi in her mind.

She shook her head, the anger in her voice dissipating considerably, and she sounded noticeably weaker than before.

"Stop talking! You want to hear it, don't you? Fine, I'll tell you more. Everything that happened between us in the villa, on the sofa, in the kitchen... I told her everything..."

"I told you to shut up!"

Wen Ling couldn't listen anymore!

She raised her hand to cover Jiang Ran's mouth, and when she looked up again, Jiang Ran saw the tears in her eyes.

Wen Ling cried.

This older sister, who was six years his senior and had a successful career, cried in front of him.

This is the first time.

Jiang Ran could see her tears so clearly.

Does she really like him that much, just like she said?

Perhaps it's the novelty.

Wen Ling also said that she had never been in a relationship. This is what love is like during the naivety of adolescence, but that only applies to adolescence.

All things considered, Jiang Ran has probably had one and a half relationships.

But without a doubt, both of them eventually left him because of money.

Wen Ling is already 29 years old this year.

At her age, she should understand the importance of money even more. Therefore, all of this now is just a matter of novelty. As time goes by, when they have a dispute over money, Wen Ling will most likely choose money and leave him.

That's just how it is.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything more hurtful.

Wen Ling's hand suddenly loosened its grip on her lips.

Feeling completely drained, she staggered and leaned against the doorframe, standing beside Jiang Ran, struggling to regain her balance.

"So, you've done everything..."

"Yes, so, Sister Wen, let's get a divorce. Actually, according to our contract, this can't be considered cheating, right?"

Jiang Ran looked at her, and finally couldn't bear it, so his tone softened.

"You're right..."

Wen Ling murmured, then suddenly laughed sadly, "Indeed, I was the one who brought it up first. It's a contract..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, so divorce is the best outcome for us."

"..."

Wen Ling didn't speak again. She stared at Jiang Ran's hand placed at his side, her gaze clearly unfocused, and it was unclear what she was looking at.

Jiang Ran then lowered his gaze to Wen Ling's ankle.

After that stomp, my ankle seems even more swollen and red...

She's no longer around.

In the chilly atmosphere, Wen Ling's voice suddenly rang out. She didn't look at him, but simply asked with her head down, "She's gone now, do you still want a divorce?"

Jiang Ran didn't quite understand why anyone would ask this question at a time like this; he felt he had already made his point clear enough.

Isn't that enough?

He had no intention of giving Wen Ling any more hope. Jiang Ran lowered his head and said, "We've been through so much together, so Sister Wen, the best outcome for us is a divorce."

Jiang Ran doesn't believe that if one party has already committed adultery, the other party will forgive them.

This was beyond his comprehension.

Wen Ling, however, remained silent.

She just kept her head down, listening to Jiang Ran's words.

Unfortunately, she knew both Jiang Ran and Xia Yunxi, and had met them both before.

They were classmates since university, and have been friends for many years. One of them is still unmarried, while the other's marriage is due to a contract...

Yes, the contract.

If she hadn't used the word "contract" from the beginning, how could Jiang Ran have actually followed her instructions and lived their own lives as she said?

They were all six or seven years younger than her; they were all still young.

You're still young.

It was the time when he was young and full of vigor.

How could such a collision not spark some fire?

She never gave Jiang Ran any hope...

Seeing that Wen Ling remained silent, Jiang Ran assumed she had made up her mind. He looked at Wen Ling's ankle and said seriously, "Sister, I think you should ask them to open the door and get a doctor to take a look at your foot..."

He was concerned, and he genuinely wanted Wen Ling to open the door.

Jiang Ran's biggest wish right now is to leave this place, get through the cooling-off period, and then say goodbye to Wen Ling forever.

"Um......"

Wen Ling responded softly, moved her hand from the door frame to the wall beside her, looked out the door, and called out, "Open the door."

Seeing this, Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the door was opened from the outside, Jiang Ran, who thought Wen Ling had finally come to her senses, touched the doorknob, ready to say goodbye to Wen Ling forever. However, the next second, Wen Ling's command suddenly rang out!

"Press him down on the bed."

"...?"

Jiang Ran was stunned and before she could react, two bodyguards at the door grabbed her arms.

She saw Wen Ling reach out and take a thin rope from the cabinet by the door, then throw it onto the bed.

then.

Use this.

Leaning against the cabinet by the door, Wen Ling said expressionlessly.

In the blink of an eye, one of the bodyguards pulled over a rope and tied it around Jiang Ran's wrist.

Jiang Ran panicked for a moment, "No, sis, what are you doing?! Didn't we just make things clear?"

In the midst of the struggle, Jiang Ran had already been packed up and thrown onto the bed.

Wen Ling raised her hand, signaling the two bodyguards to leave.

After the door was locked again, Jiang Ran saw her open the cabinet by the door and take something out of it.

Then, Wen Ling, stepping on her injured foot, staggered toward him and said something that made Jiang Ran's scalp tingle!

"It's okay..."

"It's normal for men to make mistakes, after all, I made this mistake first..."

"Besides, you're still young and don't understand..."
