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

"Li Yan?! Who is this person?"

"The HR manager of Guangling Beauty Company is from the same hometown as Jiang Ran."

Reading aloud the information she had gathered, Liu Wan hesitated before saying, "Based on my deduction, the only reason Mr. Jiang and Li Yan went out to dinner together was probably for a blind date..."

Indeed, Liu Wan couldn't think of any other possibility besides blind dates.

Although Wen Ling hadn't mentioned Jiang Ran's name in the past few days, Liu Wan knew from this sudden mention that President Wen hadn't let go of him.

In fact, Liu Wan had prepared herself for Wen Ling's wrath, but to her surprise, Wen Ling did not lose her temper.

She simply replied with a curt "Okay," and then hung up the phone.

You've already... let go?!

Hearing the "beep beep beep" sound coming from the phone, Liu Wan was a little incredulous.

A few seconds later, Wen Ling's message popped up on my phone, containing only a few words.

[Send me a photo of that Li guy.]

"..."

He just farted!

Liu Wan's lips twitched. In the end, her deduction was correct. She sent the information she had already investigated to Wen Ling.

Human resource management...

Looking at the information about Li Yan sent by Liu Wan, Wen Ling's gaze fell on these four words.

Unlike employees, Wen Ling's profession is managing an entire company. In other words, Wen Ling is very clear about the necessity of every position and employee in the company.

Especially the human resources management position.

People in this position are usually very tactful and eloquent.

It's normal for Jiang Ran to agree to meet this kind of person. Her husband is honest and naive, so it's normal for him to be unable to handle it.

A quick glance at Li Yan's professional photo revealed her professional and capable demeanor.

Although she was very unhappy, Wen Ling was the first to notice the key point.

The key point is that Li Yan is also 5 years older than Jiang Ran.

So after leaving her, did Jiang Ran only look for the same alternatives as her?

"How can this woman compare to me?"

Wen Ling couldn't help but tap on Li Yan's large image and make a comment.

Why would you abandon the real her and insist on finding a substitute who looks like her?

Frustrated, Wen Ling still opened Jiang Ran's WeChat account.

As soon as the phone rang, Wen Ling seemed to wake up and quickly hung up.

No!

The time hasn't come yet!

She's endured so many days already. If Jiang Ran finds out she hasn't given up and becomes wary, then all her efforts will be in vain.

This conflicts with her current plans.

While pondering, Wen Ling opened Liu Wan's chat window, "Next time they make any moves, be sure to tell me immediately."

Liu Wan: "Okay."

Putting down her phone, Wen Ling, who had been relatively calm, started working at lightning speed.

What will they say when they meet?!

Did Jiang Ran tell the other party that he was not divorced yet?

If I were to actually tell her, I doubt any woman would accept it—going on blind dates while still in the tug-of-war of the divorce cooling-off period...

Jiang Ran is good-looking and tall, maybe that girl doesn't mind?

Being older than Jiang Ran, that woman, being in a position of power, should have some money of her own. Maybe she really doesn't mind and is just after a younger man?

"grass!"

Wen Ling couldn't help but swear; she was getting restless.

No.

She couldn't let things continue like this.

Wen Ling picked up her phone and reopened Jiang Ran's WeChat chat window.

She pondered, her fingers hovering over the voice call buttons.

While I was hesitating, Jiang Ran's message suddenly popped up.

Just below the line where she dialed and then hung up, Jiang Ran replied with a question mark.

[? ]

So now you don't even want to say a single word to her, right?!

It's like they're breaking up!

The moment Wen Ling caught sight of the question mark, she felt a surge of anger.

Suppressing her temper, she typed: "[Have you found a house yet? I've already listed that villa over there with the real estate agency.]"

The chat window keeps showing "The other person is typing".

Jiang Ran typed for a full three minutes, but not a single message popped up.

Wen Ling panicked and immediately made a phone call.

The call was answered after ringing for six seconds.

There was silence on the other end of the phone; Jiang Ran didn't speak.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Ling bit her lip and said, "Let's talk on the phone. I don't like typing."

"...?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Ran, who was still packing in the bedroom and had just sat down at her desk, was taken aback.

what?

Wasn't it her who initially said not to call unless it was important, and to just leave a message?

He was checking house information and typing at the same time, and then the phone started ringing off the hook...

"Have you found a house you like? Half the price of Chaojunlan Mansion is fine too, you deserve it."

In the microphone, Wen Ling's voice rang out, but Jiang Ran couldn't detect any emotional fluctuation in it.

After so long without contact, coupled with the arguments and accusations before her return, everything was just as Jiang Ran had imagined: Wen Ling was serious this time.

I'm serious about divorcing him.

Unlike the excitement Jiang Ran felt when Wen Ling voluntarily agreed to sign the divorce cooling-off period agreement last time, this time, Jiang Ran felt a strange tightness in her chest.

"I'm still researching..."

He kept his voice down, and hadn't spoken since returning from lunch. When he suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse.

Wen Ling answered quickly, "You have a cold?"

"...Cough cough, no."

Jiang Ran cleared her throat and said, "I mean I was just looking up information on houses. I don't know what location to buy, or what price range for what location."

Buying a house is a skill.

For Jiang Ran, being able to buy a house in Beijing might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had to choose carefully.

Wen Ling gave an "Oh," and then casually added, "If you find it troublesome, just tell Wang Xi. Handling divorce property is her specialty, and she can also help you find some foreclosed properties at auction."

"What the heck are foreclosed properties...?"

Buying a house involves all these things?

"Some bankrupt business owners will use their assets as collateral, and the selling price will be much cheaper than the original value of the house, which is commonly known as finding a bargain."

In fact, Wen Ling had already planned out Jiang Ran's purchase of a new house from the very beginning.

The property next to Zihua Villa was also hers, which she used to live in when she was receiving elite education. Junlan Mansion was her and Jiang Ran's marital home. Before moving there, she had always lived in the villa.

Of course, Wen Ling didn't plan to tell Jiang Ran about these things for the time being.

As for Jiang Ran, having more introductions and choices wouldn't be a bad thing, since the division of divorce property was being handled by Attorney Wang anyway. Jiang Ran replied, "Okay, I'll contact Attorney Wang later. Thank you, Sister Wen."

The moment the name is uttered, a sense of familiarity washes over you.

Wen Ling felt a lump in her throat, and she couldn't help but ask Jiang Ran, "I heard... you went on a blind date?"
