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

The heat wave blew down his ears, and the fragrance of roses lingered in the air, giving Jiang Ran goosebumps all over his body!

We're all adults; who hasn't heard a few dirty words?

Jiang Ran, instantly understanding, sprang to her feet from the sofa and cursed at Wen Ling, "Damn it, you're shameless!"

Wen Ling's smiling eyes instantly darkened: "Sit down."

Why are you even sitting? Are you just going to sit down and wait to be devoured alive?

Jiang Ran took a step back, creating a foot's distance between herself and Wen Ling, attempting to negotiate: "I want my phone."

His half-step back did not escape Wen Ling's notice.

Wen Ling's face darkened completely. "I told you to sit down."

"I want my phone."

"Disobedient?"

"Listen to your grandpa! What's wrong with you, acting like this in broad daylight?"

"..."

The atmosphere became tense once again.

Staring intently at Jiang Ran, noticing the wariness and irritation on his face, Wen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly: "What do you need the phone for?"

"Play."

"You're going to message Xia Yunxi, right?"

Her voice fell, and it wasn't a question at all; it was clearly an affirmation.

Jiang Ran's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Wen Ling with a complicated expression. "Who I chat with is none of your business, is it?"

As he spoke, he sat down on the single sofa next to Wen Ling's sofa and didn't say anything more.

Seeing Jiang Ran's actions, Wen Ling suddenly remembered the day they returned to Yunqi Manor together.

At that time, she and Jiang Ran were alone in the living room of the villa. Jiang Ran sat opposite her, but did not say a word from beginning to end.

She naively thought that Jiang Ran was just shy and didn't know what to say.

But his phone, which had fallen to the ground, clearly showed his chat interface with someone else.

The entire piece is green, densely packed.

Memories flooded back, and Wen Ling suddenly recalled the scene from that day.

So, he was chatting with Xia Yunxi at that time?!

So, all this fuss about getting her phone now is just so she can chat with that bitch Xia Yunxi?!

She won't allow it!

"I advise you to give up. From now on, you're not getting your phone!"

Her voice turned sharp, without hesitation.

Jiang Ran had no idea what she was thinking. Now even playing games was forbidden. The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was morning. Was he supposed to just sit here with Wen Ling and stare blankly all day?

Looking at Wen Ling, Jiang Ran's gaze became complicated: "Even if you trap me here, we will always have to part when the time comes. There's no point in doing so. Why not let me leave before our relationship completely deteriorates?"

"impossible!"

Wen Ling's tone was resolute.

Jiang Ran was speechless: "What do you mean it's impossible? I've rejected you countless times, and I've made it clear to you that I'm determined to get a divorce. How long do you think you can keep asking me?!"

"Forever! Even if you don't like me, I will spend my whole life keeping you by my side!"

"Are you crazy? Don't you have any idea how long a lifetime is?"

"It's only a few decades, it doesn't matter!"

"..."

That won't work.

It seems that talking to Wen Ling is not an option right now.

This woman is powerful and wealthy, and he can't easily deal with her. Jiang Ran is very clear that if Wen Ling wanted to, she could easily trap him here for the rest of his life.

But he didn't want to!

"So you're planning to spend your whole life having someone who doesn't like you by your side, resorting to these underhanded tactics?"

"So what? If I can't have it, no one else can!"

"..."

Hearing this, and seeing Wen Ling's expression of wanting to die together, Jiang Ran didn't know whether she should feel fortunate or pity herself.

Fortunately, Wen Ling hasn't reached the point where she'd rather destroy something than have it.

"Ugh."

Jiang Ran sighed deeply. He didn't intend to confront Wen Ling head-on again. "Sister Wen, let's make a deal."

"?"

The conversation abruptly shifted, and Wen Ling's sharp eyes turned to confusion.

Knowing that confronting her head-on would not end well, Jiang Ran chose to mediate: "I don't think it's good for us to just sit here like this. Anyway, we're already here, so why don't you let me go out for a walk? Of course, you can send someone to follow me, and I promise I won't leave."

If we just sit here idly, when will it ever be possible to get Wen Ling to give up?

What's more, this is someone who could tear him apart at any moment; being alone in a room with such a person is far too dangerous.

Jiang Ran didn't want to.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ling fell silent.

She stared at Jiang Ran for a long time, and Wen Ling didn't think his request was too unreasonable.

but.

"My foot is injured, and I can't go anywhere."

She didn't want to go out.

Jiang Ran shrugged: "It's okay. You're recuperating inside, you have to let me go out and catch my breath, right?"

"..."

After a long silence, Wen Ling finally spoke up.

"Fang Kai!"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and two bodyguards appeared at the entrance.

Wen Ling pointed towards the door and instructed, "Stay with him, don't leave his side."

"Yes, Mr. Wen."

Fang Kai nodded, then shifted his gaze to Jiang Ran.

The moment Wen Ling opened her mouth, Jiang Ran hurriedly stood up. Just as she reached the door, she was stunned when she heard Fang Kai address Wen Ling.

Mr. Wen?

Jiang Ran turned around in surprise and looked at Wen Ling, who was still sitting upright on the sofa. "The president?"

Isn't she a senior executive?

Jiang Ran was certain she hadn't misheard; she seemed to have heard "President Wen" mentioned by Liu Wan before.

But what it is is no longer important, because it has nothing to do with him anymore.

Watching Jiang Ran leave the room, Wen Ling had her bodyguard bring her phone.

Instead of sending another message to Wen Zhi, she opened Liu Wan's chat window and sent her a message.

[Send me Xia Yunxi's information, along with all her activities over the past year.]

The message was quickly replied to: [Yes, Premier Wen.]

......

Finally leaving the room and getting away from that crazy woman, Jiang Ran felt completely refreshed.

He stretched happily and touched Fang Kai behind him.

"..."

Jiang Ran turned around and saw Fang Kai staring at him intently, as if the slightest movement would cause Fang Kai to rush over and pin him down.

Alright, even though there's still a surveillance camera following him, he's free now.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and walked downstairs with light steps.

As Jiang Ran approached the corner on the first floor, he saw Wen Zhi watching a variety show on TV, laughing heartily.

Seemingly hearing someone coming down from upstairs, Wen Zhi turned her head with a smile, meeting Jiang Ran's gaze.

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere froze instantly!

The sounds of laughter and chatter still echoed from the variety show on TV. On the coffee table in front of Wen Zhi were several beautifully arranged fruit platters. She was dressed casually, hugging a large pillow, and sitting languidly.

Recalling how she had endured all night of humiliation facing that crazy woman Wen Ling upstairs, while Wen Zhi, who knew everything, lived so comfortably, Jiang Ran finally found an outlet for her pent-up anger!

"Miss Wenzhi seems to be enjoying her freedom!"
