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

"..."

Jiang Ran fell silent.

For some reason, he felt that Wen Ling had become different since last night.

The initial human-machine dynamic eased considerably after their reunion a year later; Wen Ling became much more talkative then.

But now it feels even stranger.

Jiang Ran always felt a sense of dread when he caught a glimpse of the sinister look in Wen Ling's eyes.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Shaking his head, Jiang Ran didn't say anything more. He stood up abruptly.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat."

He said that and started walking towards the dining table.

However, the forceful pulling on Jiang Ran's arm forced him to stand still.

"Why are you pulling me? I want to eat!"

Jiang Ran turned around, her tone also showing impatience.

Wen Ling blinked, tugged at his sleeve, and said to herself, "Lanlan said that my feet can't touch the ground."

Jiang Ran was speechless: "What does your inability to get out of bed have to do with me?"

"I want you to carry me there."

"..."

Jiang Ran stared wide-eyed at Wen Ling, who looked completely calm and collected as she spoke.

Her face practically screamed "I'm completely in the right!"

Jiang Ran was furious.

He was furious that she had inexplicably locked him in the bedroom last night and kept chasing after him like a madwoman, calling him "husband."

They are already in the cooling-off period for divorce, and according to the timeline, a week of the cooling-off period has already passed.

The two were about to part ways, yet they were still pulling and tugging at this time. She even used such a tough tone to order him around and force him to compromise.

Jiang Ran was truly furious.

So, he looked at Wen Ling and blurted out, "You can have your bodyguard Fang Kai... hiss!"

Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, Wen Ling pinched his arm hard.

The conversation was abruptly ended.

Wen Ling's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and she replied in an unfriendly tone, "If you say that again, I'll keep pinching you!"

Not only did she not change, she actually got worse?!

Jiang Ran couldn't take it anymore. She flung Wen Ling's hand away and shouted angrily, "Wen Ling, do you really think I don't hit women? Don't push me!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, looking furious and threatening.

However, Wen Ling didn't even feel afraid. She just sat quietly on the edge of the bed, grabbed Jiang Ran's raised wrist with her other hand, and pulled his hand to hit her face.

She even said, "Come on, I'd like to see how you're going to hit me."

"..."

The moment his palm touched her cheek, and upon hearing those words, Jiang Ran felt completely numb!

Are you crazy?! Who would voluntarily make such a request?!

Feeling Jiang Ran's wrist tightening and resisting her strength, Wen Ling's eyes flashed with a smile as she urged, "Hurry up, carry me over, I'm hungry too."

It's like they've got him figured out completely.

Those dark eyes were fixed on him, and Jiang Ran felt as if they could see right through him.

The power of an older woman is that no amount of intimidation will work on her, because she is experienced and can tell at a glance whether the other person dares to do something or not.

In particular, he and Wen Ling were old acquaintances, they were once husband and wife, and they had spent some time together.

Therefore, in Wen Ling's eyes, Jiang Ran's every action was transparent.

Jiang Ran definitely doesn't hit women.

He said he was born on purpose; he couldn't possibly have actually been born.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath after giving Wen Ling a long look, calmed herself down, and said, "You should brush your teeth and wash your face first. You can eat after you've washed your face."

He didn't say anything more, but quickly went to the bathroom, filled a basin with water, squeezed toothpaste onto Wen Ling's toothpaste, and placed it on the bedside table in front of her.

Watching Wen Ling wash up, Jiang Ran pondered how to get rid of her.

He felt he had already tried quite a few methods, such as making up stories about Xia Yunxi to annoy her, using vulgar language towards her, and being impatient with her.

Jiang Ran believes that she has always been a normal person in both of her relationships, with normal values ​​and thought patterns.

However, when dealing with Wen Ling, he used all sorts of underhanded tricks.

None of them worked.

It's a bit tricky.

Wen Ling is different from people like Qin Yiyao and Xia Yunxi. She is older than them and is rich, powerful, and beautiful.

The only downside is that she's not very bright; she's kind of mentally challenged.

How can I get her to willingly give up on herself?

Jiang Ran couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

He watched as Wen Ling finished washing up, took the basin to the bathroom, rinsed her things, put them away, and then came out.

Wen Ling was already waiting by the bedside.

She waited for him to carry her over to eat.

Jiang Ran remained silent as he stepped forward, slipped his arms under her knees, bent down, and lifted her up in his arms.

The temperature is not high.

Even though she has gained 30 pounds compared to before, she is only 130 pounds, and she is 1.67 meters tall.

It didn't take much effort; Jiang Ran carefully placed her on a chair next to the dining table before sitting down opposite Wen Ling.

Wen Ling didn't say a word the whole time. When she was being hugged, she took the initiative to hook her arms around Jiang Ran's neck, burying her head in his chest and listening to his heartbeat as he exerted himself.

As soon as she was placed on the chair, Wen Ling's cheeks flushed slightly. Seeing Jiang Ran sit down opposite her, she was somewhat displeased: "Sit next to me."

"Sitting face-to-face is fine."

Jiang Ran ignored him and quickly picked up the porridge bowl, starting to eat the rice in silence.

Seeing how he wolfed down his food, Wen Ling remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner last night.

He also put in a lot of effort last night.

He must be starving.

Seeing Jiang Ran enjoying his meal, Wen Ling's appetite was also stimulated, and she became hungry too.

Without any further communication, the two sat facing each other at the dining table, each silently beginning their meal.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Ran put down his chopsticks and kept his eyes fixed on Wen Ling.

Noticing Jiang Ran's unusual gaze, Wen Ling's eyes flickered. After putting down her chopsticks, she asked, "Is there something you want to say to me if you're staring at me like that?"

"Um."

Without further hesitation, Jiang Ran nodded, still looking intently at Wen Ling, and asked her, "I want to ask you, what exactly do you like about me?"

What do you like?

This question stumped Wen Ling.

Seeing Wen Ling remain silent, Jiang Ran knew he might have finally hit the nail on the head. He didn't stop and continued, "You insist on clinging to me, refusing to divorce me, and demanding that I stay with you. You keep saying you like me, but what exactly do you like about me?"

What exactly do you like about me?
