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

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao, who had been quite magnanimous just moments before, suddenly changed her expression!

Little did she know that her polite words had taken Jiang Ran so seriously!

"Jiang Ran, I only said that rich people have high standards for nannies, I didn't say that men can't do this job! We women can do it, so why can't men?!"

Adopting a superior attitude, Qin Yiyao casually shoved her phone back into her pocket. She said earnestly, "No matter what industry you're in, you have to work hard. Like me, I've worked so hard to afford this villa area. You can't blame it all on industry discrimination, can you?"

It's easy to speak if you don't rely on your own real skills.

Jiang Ran's lips twitched. Only now did he realize just how outrageous Qin Yiyao's words had been.

Oh no, she really did rely on her own abilities; beauty is a skill too!

Glancing at her with her hands in her pockets, Jiang Ran quickly steered the conversation back on track, "So, I'm still waiting for your Cheng to recommend a job to me, aren't I?"

They had finally managed to steer the conversation away from the topic, but Jiang Ran's words brought it right back.

She worked so hard to get to where she is now, how could she possibly let her current boyfriend recommend a job to her ex-boyfriend!

Isn't that just courting death?!

Qin Yiyao felt embarrassed.

"Jiang Ran!"

She snapped angrily, "Didn't you understand anything I said?"

Jiang Ran's expression was calm, and her tone was indifferent: "Got it? You want your current boyfriend to recommend a job for me."

"you!"

Qin Yiyao was so angry that she was speechless for a moment. She stammered "you" for a long time but couldn't say the next sentence.

"Qin Yiyao, where does your sense of superiority come from that makes you think I need you to recommend a job for me?"

Jiang Ran leisurely finished picking through half a bag of shrimp, shook the water out of the bag, and said calmly, "Or is it that you got all of this too easily, making you look down on everyone else?!"

From the moment Qin Yiyao stood there and uttered those words, Jiang Ran heard everything clearly.

This isn't about finding him a job; it's clearly a silent display of wealth.

To put it bluntly, everything Qin Yiyao has achieved now is indeed too easy. In fact, the kindness he showed her in the past has made her mistakenly believe that she would never forget him once he leaves her.

How could that be?

Jiang Ran never forgets his roots!

Qin Yiyao is a thing of the past; he now has a wife.

Seeing the contempt in Jiang Ran's eyes, and that he didn't even spare her a glance, she turned and went to the weighing platform.

These words were like a peeling knife, ruthlessly stripping away Qin Yiyao's disguise!

Qin Yiyao completely broke down!

"Jiang Ran, I treated you with the best of intentions, how could you say such a thing to me!"

She followed Jiang Ran, grumbling and cursing. Subconsciously, just like before, she grabbed Jiang Ran's clothes and threw a tantrum at him.

However, this time, Jiang Ran slapped her hand away without any mercy!

Standing in front of the weighing station, in front of several staff members, Jiang Ran glanced coldly at them and said rudely, "Miss, please watch your manners and stop bothering me. I already have a wife!"

"..."

The once bustling weighing area instantly became completely quiet.

The atmosphere suddenly froze. Qin Yiyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her hand, which had just been trying to grab Jiang Ran's clothes, frozen in mid-air.

She didn't react for a long time.

Jiang Ran, what did he say?!

He's married?!

When did this happen?!

They broke up only half a month ago, right? How could it be so fast...?

Besides, what woman would be so blind as to fall for a good-for-nothing like Jiang Ran who has no job, no income, and only lives off his parents?!

So, all those vows Jiang Ran made to her when they were together before, are they all now meaningless?

In a daze, Qin Yiyao saw that Jiang Ran had already finished weighing himself and was heading towards the checkout counter. She paused and subconsciously chased after him!

"Jiang Ran, explain yourself! When did you get married?!"

More and more people gathered around, especially at the supermarket outside the villa area, where wealthy people were coming and going. Such gossip is common, but this is always something new!

Qin Yiyao is one thing, since she doesn't own a house here, but Jiang Ran at least owns half a property here.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will most likely live here for the rest of his life.

Jiang Ran didn't want to be branded as a figurehead.

He placed the shrimp on the checkout counter and said calmly, "Miss Qin, you broke up with me two weeks ago. Now we're strangers. Isn't it normal for me to get married and start a family?"

"What do you mean 'normal'? You were trying to win me back when we broke up, saying I was the only person you ever loved, and now you're telling me you're already married?!"

Qin Yiyao couldn't accept this fact at all.

She felt that Jiang Ran was lying to her.

In order not to be looked down upon by her, he made up the lie that he was "already married"!

"Besides, you have no job, no income, what woman would want to marry a man like you!"

Qin Yiyao was so angry that she spoke without thinking, and roared at Jiang Ran.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran, after scanning the payment code, leisurely waved the shrimp in her hand and smiled, "I can cook!"

Glancing at the onlookers, Jiang Ran's smile widened: "Besides, it's the 21st century. Isn't it normal for men to stay home and women to work outside? My wife is smart and capable, of course I'm willing to stay home for her. What? My wife has no objections, so why do you?"

"Well said! Young man, it's truly admirable to have such awareness!"

"A loving marriage is one where the sacrifices made at home are visible. And if either partner is willing to give up their own career to support their spouse, that's true love!"

"You girl, he's married and has a family, what are you still doing bothering him?!"

Fairness does not discriminate between men and women.

Moreover, this is one of the top villa districts in Beijing. No one who lives in this area is a fool. With just a few words, there's no need to distinguish right from wrong; everyone can see what's really going on.

Watching Jiang Ran turn away without any mercy, and hearing the whispers and pointing fingers around her, Qin Yiyao felt a lump in her throat.

She didn't dare look at those people anymore, covered her face and ran outside.

Qin Yiyao unconsciously followed Jiang Ran not far behind, watching as Jiang Ran openly walked towards the real villa area that she had been longing for yesterday.

Even the security guard at the entrance opened the window, smiling broadly and waving respectfully at Jiang Ran...

They acted as if Jiang Ran was the owner of the house who had bought it outright.

Just moments before rushing out of the supermarket, Qin Yiyao had been hoping that Jiang Ran, like herself, had found a rich woman to keep her, trying to balance her inner resentment. Now, she was completely devastated!

If he hadn't bought the house here himself, would the security guards have needed to treat him with such respect?!

In that instant, Qin Yiyao felt only anger!

The anger of being deceived by Jiang Ran!

When he was pursuing me, he pretended to be poor so convincingly, but when it came time to get married and have kids, he could afford this villa that cost over 100 million, right?!

Thinking back to the apartment Li Yicheng bought yesterday, compared to her previous one, it was indeed a step up, but compared to Jiang Ran today, it was completely insignificant...

Qin Yiyao doesn't want to know where Jiang Ran got the money to buy this villa; she just wants to ask him directly why he didn't tell her sooner.

If I had told her earlier that we could live in this big villa after we got married, she wouldn't have refused!

wrong!

Does he really mean he'll get married just because he says so?!

He probably lied to her on purpose, just to make her give up!

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Yiyao could no longer hold back. She quickly walked forward to the security guard's booth at the entrance, forced a smile, and asked Zhang Tao, "Hello, sir, was the young man who just went in named Jiang Ran?"

Zhang Tao was taken aback. Looking at the exquisitely made-up girl in front of him, he mistook her for Jiang Ran's friend and quickly nodded, "Yes, it's Brother Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyao was almost certain that Jiang Ran had indeed bought a house here.

Her eyes darted around, then she forced a smile. "Could you please give me Jiang Ran's phone number, brother?"

Zhang Tao asked in surprise, "Don't you have one?"

"Uh... well, my phone broke and I lost my number. I just saw a picture of my childhood friend Jiang Ran from behind, and I didn't recognize him at first, so..."
