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

What is that?!

He was about to marry Wen Ling and become the rightful heir of the Wen family, but at this very moment he had to suffer the wrath of a secretary!

Weng Bingyun no longer cared about her usual elegance.

He raised his hand, pointed at Liu Wan with his index finger, and stood up, threateningly saying, "Fine, you've got guts."

Without saying another word to Liu Wan, Weng Bingyun turned and left.

Liu Wan also stood up and politely said to Weng Bingyun's back, "Goodbye, Mr. Weng."

With a "bang," the door slammed shut, and the office fell silent once more.

Liu Wan quickly took out her phone and called Wen Ling.

The phone rang for several seconds, but no one answered.

Having no other choice, Liu Wan had to call Wen Zhi.

After the call connected, Liu Wan immediately recounted everything that had just happened.

"Yes, Miss Zhizhi, that's how it is. President Weng doesn't come to the company very often, but just now he kept asking me about President Wen's whereabouts. If you're with President Wen, I think you could ask her what's going on!"

On the other end of the phone, amidst the lively atmosphere of a hot pot, Wen Zhi sat beside the television, the noise still blaring, though she could barely hear it.

"What do you mean by 'general manager'? You just need to help my sister with her work, why are you calling me 'general manager' all the time?"

"It's the legal representative, Ms. Zhizhi!"

"What legal entity? Why bother with all that? You're my sister's person, ignore me!"

"..."

"Alright, forget about it. Just say you don't know when I ask. Don't take it seriously. Um, I'm going to have dinner with my sister and brother-in-law now. Don't call again, I'm hanging up!"

"Beep beep beep—"

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Liu Wan's lips twitched.

Besides the sound of the television, Deng Lanlan's voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

Okay, okay, everyone's gone off to go on vacation. Deng Lanlan is now someone who can sit at the same table as President Wen, so you're leaving her here to work, huh?!

Sitting back down on the sofa, Liu Wan angrily ordered takeout for herself. "This is terrible! I'm going to ask for leave when President Wen gets back too!!"

In a detached villa by the sea.

Seeing Wen Zhi hang up the phone, Wen Ling's eyes flickered slightly. "Was that a call from Father or Mother?"

Wen Zhi waved her hand, put her phone in her pocket, and said, "No, it's Liu..."

She had barely opened her mouth when she saw Wen Ling's curious gaze and Deng Lanlan beside her, blinking frantically at her.

Wen Zhi chuckled, pulled Deng Lanlan up, and said, "No, no, sister, you guys eat first. Lanlan, come with me, we'll go get some wine!"

As she spoke, she picked up Deng Lanlan and headed towards the kitchen.

"Why did you wink at me just now? It was just Liu Wan on the phone, what's wrong with talking about that?"

Looking at Deng Lanlan, Wen Zhi asked a question.

"I can't tell!"

Deng Lanlan sighed, "Have you forgotten what happened last time you teamed up with Mr. Jiang? How furious was President Wen when she found out?!"

"It's nothing..."

"How could there be nothing wrong? Miss Zhizhi, have you forgotten that you don't even go to the company normally? How would you have Liu Wan's contact information? If you had said it out loud just now, President Wen would definitely know that we had a private group chat. Once she finds out, she will definitely think that we are ganging up on her..."

As a psychoanalyst, Deng Lanlan knew very well that Wen Ling absolutely could not accept anyone's betrayal.

During this period, Wen Ling's mentality was very unstable. Now, it has finally shown signs of improvement. In addition, her relationship with Jiang Ran at the dinner table was quite good, and even she and Fang Kai joined her at the table for dinner.

It's rare to see a bit of everyday life around us, so bringing up those other things now would be suicidal!

After this reminder, Wen Zhi suddenly realized what was going on.

"You're right, I almost forgot about that!"

Wen Zhi raised her hand and slapped her forehead. "My bad, my bad. Luckily you stopped me just now, otherwise, if I had let slip, my sister would have found out!"

"call."

Deng Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the refrigerator door and said, "Okay, Miss Zhizhi, what would you like to drink?"

Mentioning this, Wen Zhi's eyes flashed.

Her gaze swept quickly across the refrigerator full of bottles of liquor, finally settling on the bottle of whiskey.

"Get that bottle of bourbon."

Wen Zhi smiled and pointed, "Bring some more sparkling water over, dilute it. Anyway, we're having a good time today, and my sister and brother-in-law probably won't be able to tell the difference. They won't object to drinking!"

Bourbon whiskey, 50% ABV.

Without Wen Zhi needing to explain further, Deng Lanlan already knew what she wanted to do.

Using alcohol to stir up emotions seems like a pretty good option...

At the dinner table, steam rose from the bubbling hot pot. Fang Kai sat opposite him, with two empty chairs next to him. Wen Zhi and Deng Lanlan were about to return. The television was still playing, showing Wen Zhi's favorite variety show.

Jiang Ran rarely felt a touch of human warmth.

This is what life should be like!

After this trip, I finally feel a bit more alive.

Jiang Ran was in a great mood and took the initiative to ask Wen Ling, "Sister, what would you like to eat? I'll cook it for you."

Wen Ling simply watched his excited expression, infected by the atmosphere, and smiled, replying very simply: "Anything you make is fine."

"Okay then."

Jiang Ran responded and placed two slices of tripe into the clear broth pot.

He also remembered that she couldn't eat spicy food.

The steam filled the air, making Wen Ling feel warm inside, a feeling different from when she usually ate alone.

It was crowded and lively.

"Sis, Lanlan and I mixed some fruit wine, you should try some!"

Wen Zhixing excitedly brought over two glasses, placed them in front of Wen Ling and Jiang Ran, and then scooped up some liquor from the ice bucket in Deng Lanlan's hand behind them.

She poured the ice cubes into two stemmed glasses, and then added two lemon slices on top.

Two simple cocktails were made just like that.

Wen Ling didn't have any objections, but Jiang Ran next to her picked up the wine glass with his free hand and smelled it.

"The smell of alcohol seems a bit strong..."

"Where does it overlap?"

Wen Zhi said without changing her expression, "This kind of wine tastes like this. It's not very strong; it's mainly for drinking fruit juice flavor. You can try it if you don't believe me!"

She specially mixed this drink, and to make sure Jiang Ran wouldn't be able to tell the difference, she even added jam to it.

Seeing Wen Zhi make another cup for Fang Kai, Fang Kai took it and started drinking.

Jiang Ran stared at Fang Kai's facial expression but didn't see any change.

Deng Lanlan also drank it.

Then, Wen Ling also picked up her cup and took a sip.

It's all wine poured from the same bucket.

Jiang Ran pondered for a while, then finally picked up the cup and took a sip...
