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

His hand was flung away, and a sinister glint flashed in Weng Bingyun's eyes.

He quickly composed himself, feigning a heartbroken expression as he looked at Wen Ling, "Xiao Ling, didn't we agree...? I've been waiting for you all this time, what happened to you...?"

He looked distressed and explained to Wen Ling, "Do you know how long I've been looking for you? Sigh, I've already paid your medical bills, I..."

"Have you said enough?!"

Wen Ling blushed with anxiety.

Jiang Ran took her phone, and now that she was all alone, Wen Ling never imagined she would ever experience such a loss of power.

"Xiao Ling, how could you be so heartless?"

Did I give you permission to call me by my name?

"Small......"

"Get out!"

Wen Ling was absolutely furious.

Finally, after so much effort, her relationship with Jiang Ran had begun to improve; finally, Jiang Ran was starting to look at her more seriously; finally, they had some time alone together...

Weng Bingyun had never seen Wen Ling so angry before.

When I saw Wen Ling again, she was very different from the decisive and efficient woman she used to be.

He had gained weight and his emotions were more outspoken than before. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He had known Wen Ling for over five years, and although he had always been her partner and rarely had the opportunity to communicate with her face-to-face, he remembered Wen Ling as someone who was always aloof and superior.

But now, she seems no different from a young girl...

Without the previous intimidating aura, Weng Bingyun gradually grew bolder. He completely ignored Wen Ling's insults, pulled over a stool, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a sweet smile, "Xiao Ling, calm down first. I won't go anywhere until you're healed. I'll take care of you, okay?"

"..."

Wen Ling truly experienced firsthand the meaning of not being able to understand human speech.

She didn't know why Weng Bingyun was here. All she knew was that Weng Bingyun was definitely one of the reasons why Jiang Ran refused to forgive her.

It was also because she didn't know when to stop and actually used other people to provoke Jiang Ran.

Wen Ling gave him a cold look, ignoring the blood splattering from the back of her hand, and lifted the blanket with one hand to move off the bed.

Seeing this, Weng Bingyun immediately became anxious and stood up, saying, "Xiao Ling, you can't get out of bed right now. Do you need to go to the toilet? Let me help you—"

With a loud "clang".

Just as Weng Bingyun's hand was about to touch Wen Ling's arm, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.

The two looked towards the door at the same time, and Jiang Ran appeared at the door wearing a white t-shirt, big slippers, and carrying a lunchbox.

The atmosphere in the ward immediately became quiet.

Knowing that this man was Wen Ling's nominal "husband," Weng Bingyun's eyes instantly darkened, and she quickly grabbed Wen Ling's arm to assert her dominance.

It was as if their tryst had been discovered.

Weng Bingyun grabbed her arm, and in her panic, Wen Ling didn't react at all. She stared blankly at Jiang Ran, her already fuzzy mind racing—

How should I explain this?

Things weren't as he thought.

She didn't know that Weng Bingyun would appear at this time.

She didn't.

That's not it...

Jiang Ran's eyes flickered as her gaze fell on the hand that was holding Wen Ling's arm, and she remembered this man.

That was the day he saw it at the Junlan Mansion villa.

Wen Ling deliberately let him hear the story of the new father she found for the child.

They arrived so quickly!

So it seems he paid the bill too?

They stood together, a handsome couple, but he had arrived at the worst possible time.

Jiang Ran pursed his lips, his eyes darkening as if he couldn't see anything. He walked straight to the bedside, placing the lunchbox on the bedside table as he said casually, "I bought some millet porridge and stir-fried tofu. Sister Wen, eat before you rest."

After he finished speaking, he turned around decisively and walked quickly toward the door without pausing at all.

Seeing this, Wen Ling panicked and blurted out, "Jiang Ran!"

Jiang Ran's back stiffened noticeably, and she stopped in her tracks, but she didn't turn around.

Wen Ling was anxious to catch up, only to realize that Weng Bingyun was still holding her arm. She used all her strength to shake him off, yelling, "I told you to get out of my way!"

Jiang Ran didn't turn around.

He didn't know that these words were spoken by Wen Ling to Weng Bingyun.

I didn't expect the replacement to arrive so quickly. It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed. After all, Wen Ling had been acting so convincingly these past few days, using every underhanded trick imaginable.

but.

What's the use of feeling lost?

He was merely an NPC in Wen Ling's plan; his mission was complete, so there was no need for him to remain here.

Jiang Ran didn't speak or turn around. He strode forward and continued walking towards the door.

"Jiang Ran!"

Wen Ling was really anxious!

Ignoring her injuries, she rushed to chase after him, but her ankle injury hadn't healed and the anesthesia had worn off. The moment her foot touched the ground, a tearing pain shot through her body, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

Weng Bingyun, who was closest, reacted quickly and grabbed Wen Ling's arm to help her steady herself.

Even the dumbest person would know what happened after seeing this.

The only person who could have turned that decisive and efficient woman into the person she is now, and who is now rejecting him in every way, is probably Jiang Ran.

Weng Bingyun narrowed her eyes and deliberately raised her voice, "Xiao Ling, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, how can you run around like that? Let me help you sit on the bed and feed you, okay?"

"Jiang Ran..."

Wen Ling had never felt so helpless.

All her people were gone. Weng Bingyun was like an animal, unable to understand human language, yet she was shameless and wouldn't leave no matter how hard you tried to get rid of her.

Even more deadly is...

Jiang Ran showed no concern whatsoever, and simply turned to leave...

To be honest, Jiang Ran was also a little uncomfortable. Wen Ling kept calling him from behind, and he also heard the sound of Wen Ling tripping over the foot of the bed.

Her sprained ankle hadn't healed yet.

It was very agonizing.

But it has nothing to do with him anymore. They're divorced, and Weng Bingyun is the one who's going to take him on. Why is he still hanging around here?

As Jiang Ran approached the door, he awkwardly put his hands in his pockets.

It was in that instant that he touched Wen Ling's phone in his pocket.

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Jiang Ran turned around and saw Weng Bingyun helping Wen Ling. He acted as if he hadn't seen her, and instead of going over, he walked to the sofa, took out his phone, placed it on the coffee table, and said indifferently, "The bill has already been settled. I'll leave my phone here and won't bother you any longer."

No, I'm not bothering you two anymore...

What does that mean?!

He was just planning to dump her on Weng Bingyun and then ignore her?!

Do not!

He was perfectly fine this morning, and last night he carried her to the hospital. He even said he cared about her. How could he possibly abandon her?!

Jiang Ran, he must be jealous!

"Jiang Ran!"

Wen Ling shoved Weng Bingyun away abruptly, gripping the bed railing with both hands. Without a second thought, she yelled at Jiang Ran, "If you dare leave now, I'll never let you go for the rest of my life!"
