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

"H-How could this be?"

Her smile froze instantly, and Wen Zhi was stunned.

Although Deng Lanlan, who was pushing the wheelchair behind her, didn't say anything, her hand clearly paused for a moment.

"..."

Having already spoken, Wen Ling didn't say anything more, but her eyes darkened, and the pressure around her instantly dropped.

She's feeling really down right now.

He should have been a victorious warrior, but he seemed to have lost the most important thing in the war, and couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

Wen Zhi didn't understand. "That shouldn't be the case, sister. Didn't you... that night? Logically speaking, after what happened that night, your relationship should have improved, right? That night..."

She insisted on it that night.

She used some tactics and put some pressure on them.

"Harmful!"

Disgusted by her sister's attitude, Wen Zhi waved her hand dismissively and said, "Sister, in my opinion, just pretend you never said that. To be honest, what happened between you two before was a minor matter. Once you talk it out, it'll be over. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between husband and wife. Just pretend it never happened!"

"..."

Wen Ling wanted to do the same.

However, she had used these harsh methods many times, and in the end, she even became known as a "shrew" in Jiang Ran's eyes.

She couldn't bring herself to say Jiang Ran's assessment of her in front of Wen Zhi and Deng Lanlan.

They couldn't know, because one was her subordinate and the other was her sister.

"If you ask me, sis, you just haven't used enough of your methods. I'm telling you, you should do it a few more times. Men need to be taught; they might say they don't want to, but they're actually more than willing inside. I think Lanlan, you shouldn't bother cleaning the new room tonight; just have Fang Kai bring some men and pack him up..."

"don't want."

Before Wen Zhi could finish speaking, Wen Ling sternly reprimanded her.

"?"

Wen Zhi stopped speaking and stared blankly at her sister.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore. I know what I'm doing."

Wen Ling's eyes darkened. This time, she didn't listen to her sister anymore, because her feelings told her that letting go for now was the best option.

As they chatted, they entered the villa's lobby.

Although Wen Ling wasn't in a good mood, she didn't continue the topic. She pointed to the kitchen and looked at Deng Lanlan, "Go and arrange for someone to clean Jiang Ran's room. You're in such a hurry that you've cleaned the kitchen too. It will be easier to prepare food when Jiang Ran comes back later."

She gave an order, then looked at Wen Zhi, "You go too, go help her tidy up."

"..."

Wen Zhi's lips twitched; she knew her sister couldn't stand seeing her idle.

"Alright, then, sis, you..."

"Don't worry about me, I just twisted my ankle, I'm not crippled."

"All right......"

Wen Ling, struggling to stand up while holding onto the armrest of her wheelchair, moved to the sofa and looked at Deng Lanlan, who was already instructing the maid, and said, "By the way, Lanlan, call Fang Kai and have him pay for today's expenses first. Don't let Jiang Ran spend any money. I will reimburse him when we get back."

"yes......"

.......

Beijing, an emerging technology and artificial intelligence company.

Liu Wan, whose workday was about to end, finished her shift.

In Wen Ling's office, Liu Wan stretched, rubbed her eyes, and closed the documents on the desk in front of her.

She was still considering whether to eat at the company cafeteria that evening when there was a sudden knock on her office door.

"Enter."

Liu Wan rubbed her temples and responded wearily.

As the office door was pushed open, Weng Bingyun walked in.

Liu Wan instantly perked up and quickly stood up: "President Weng."

Weng Bingyun gestured for Liu Wan to sit down, while he walked to the sofa in the office and sat down.

His movements were light, yet carried an imposing aura. Liu Wan didn't dare to sit down; instead, she quickly walked to the sofa and sat opposite Weng Bingyun.

"Mr. Weng, you haven't gone home yet, it's so late?"

Liu Wan gave a standard smile and poured Weng Bingyun a cup of tea.

Weng Bingyun rested her elbows on her legs, her gaze sharp as she looked at Liu Wan. She didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Where is President Wen?"

"she......"

Liu Wan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly forced a bright smile and said, "President Weng, is there anything you need to see President Wen about?"

Weng Bingyun frowned slightly, his tone becoming serious: "Don't change the subject."

"..."

Liu Wan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Weng, I cannot tell you this."

Weng Bingyun is the legal representative of this company, while Liu Wan is Wen Ling's secretary. During Wen Ling's absence, Liu Wan is in charge of all matters, big and small, in the company.

Weng Bingyun had not seen Wen Ling for a long time.

Since returning from the Junlan Mansion villa where Wen Ling lived, Weng Bingyun knew that during the year Wen Ling had disappeared, she must have gone to have a child as she had said.

Wen Ling always keeps her word; she has already made her promise, so she will definitely do it.

So, for the past year, Weng Bingyun has been waiting for Wen Ling to return after giving birth, and waiting to hold an engagement ceremony with her.

But now, a whole year has passed, and she should have given birth long ago after ten months of pregnancy. At this point, she should have finished her postpartum confinement, but Wen Ling still hasn't returned to work.

He had called Wen Ling, but the number went unanswered. For Weng Bingyun, who was about to become the son-in-law of the Wen family heir, he was already starting to lose his composure. That's why he came to find Wen Ling's assistant, Liu Wan, at this time.

Weng Bingyun's face instantly darkened. "Don't forget who you are!"

His voice was somber, his tone sharp and harsh, and his face grim: "Although I'm not usually in the office, you're just an assistant. Answer my questions properly!"

To be honest, this was the first time Liu Wan had encountered such a situation.

As Wen Ling's assistant, Liu Wan had virtually no obstacles in the company. Especially recently, after taking over Wen Ling's work, Liu Wan was practically the boss in name only, and everyone in the company respected her greatly.

It could be said that her words were Wen Ling's words.

However, Weng Bingyun happens to be the legal representative of this company, and is the boss of equal status to Wen Ling.

Liu Wan's eyes also darkened; she knew that Weng Bingyun was furious.

But so what?

Liu Wan still managed a standard smile: "President Weng, if there's anything you need to tell me, I can pass it on to President Wen, but I'm sorry, I cannot disclose President Wen's whereabouts."

"Believe it or not, I can fire you right now!"

Weng Bingyun was furious.

Who would have thought that a mere assistant would dare to speak rudely to him!

"Of course you can."

Unfazed by the pressure, Liu Wan simply smiled politely and said, "However, before that, I still have to handle the work assigned by President Wen."

"..."

It is absolutely flawless.

Weng Bingyun didn't come to the company often, and he didn't know much about Liu Wan, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.

Seeing Liu Wan's still-perfectly polite smile, Weng Bingyun's anger grew even stronger...
