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

What should we do?

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened.

he does not know.

Let it go.

Anyway, moving to a new home means a fresh start, and a fresh start might lead to better arrangements, who knows?

Fate is predetermined by heaven, and no one can change it!

After driving for more than an hour, when they arrived at Zihua Residential Area, the gatekeeper readily allowed them to pass.

Ever since Wen Ling moved all his belongings out, Jiang Ran's former apartment no longer contains any of his items.

After agreeing with the landlord to return the room and deposit, I parked my car in front of the villa.

Jiang Ran had seen the luxurious villa in a remote video call.

That year, he had been exposed to quite a few luxury items, so Jiang Ran wasn't surprised. He simply got out of the car, opened the trunk, and started unloading things.

Jiang Jianping was quite surprised. After getting out of the car, he sighed with pride at his son's success while helping him with the luggage.

If Jiang Jianping didn't have to work tomorrow, Jiang Ran would really like to have her father bring her mother to stay for a few days.

However, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner.

Jiang Ran thought that she would bring her parents and her aunt's family over, and spend the New Year here. It would be nice.

After Jiang Jianping drove away, Jiang Ran was left alone in the villa.

Feeling a pang of loneliness, Jiang Ran sat on the sofa for a while to rest before starting to pack her things.

He didn't plan to go up to the second floor yet, because he realized after entering that the villa was quite large.

He currently plans to stay on the first floor, and then...

"Buzzing—"

Before he could finish thinking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was Li Yan calling.

"Have you arrived in Beijing yet? I saw your father's location on his WeChat Moments; he's near Zihua Villa?"

As soon as the call connected, Li Yan's surprised voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran recalled how her father had enthusiastically taken out his phone to take pictures of the large villa before leaving, and then lowered his head to randomly tap on the phone.

He only realized then that his dad was posting on social media...

Since that was the case, he had nothing to hide and agreed immediately.

"Yes, I just moved in and I'm packing my things now."

"You alone?"

"Hmm, there's not much stuff."

"Let me come help you. It's perfect timing. I don't have anything to do today, so I can go and familiarize myself with the place beforehand so it'll be easier to find you later."

"...?"

"Beep beep beep—"

Before Jiang Ran could respond, Li Yan hung up the phone.

Jiang Ran felt that something was off about what Li Yan was saying. He couldn't quite put his finger on why, but he sensed that Li Yan seemed a little anxious.

These past few days, Li Yan hasn't been chatting with him much. When they do chat, it's usually just about whether he's eaten or what he's doing.

Out of politeness, Jiang Ran would always reply, but they mostly talked about trivial topics and forgot about them as soon as they were over.

But at this moment, when this call came in, Jiang Ran was immediately annoyed.

This is still far from settled; at best, he and Li Yan are just friends!

No, no, no, I wouldn't even call them friends. They're more like strangers I've only met a few times.

They're coming straight to his house?!

After making the bed, Jiang Ran still felt it wasn't appropriate to have Li Yan come to his house right now.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone, ready to send a message to Li Yan to cancel her trip.

But just as he took out his phone, he heard a door open on the second floor.

Right above Jiang Ran's head, there was a loud "thump"!

Instantly, Jiang Ran felt a chill run down his spine!

What's that noise?!

Holy crap, is there anyone else in this room besides him?!

Could it be that the previous owner hasn't left yet?!

Jiang Ran was taken aback and quickly left the bedroom for the elevator.

The sound of the elevator descending came from the elevator button screen. Jiang Ran stared at the button screen, watching the number on it jump from 2 to 1.

Jiang Ran pondered whether he should take out the property certificate later, and then...

The elevator doors opened.

Standing inside is Wen Ling.

And then there's the stroller next to her.

"..."

Wen Ling, what are you doing here?!

She is not...

"Is there anything to eat?"

As if she had been prepared, Wen Ling pushed the stroller and walked out of the elevator in a very natural and unpretentious manner, stopping in front of Jiang Ran.

"you......"

Jiang Ran opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, when Wen Ling bent down and lifted the curtain of the stroller.

Jiang Fengdie appeared before Jiang Ran with such a fresh and beautiful appearance.

She bit her finger, lay on her back, and stared at Jiang Ran with her round, grape-like eyes.

Then he let out a silly laugh.

This was the first time Jiang Ran had met Jiang Fengdie.

Wen Ling then barged in with her, completely reckless.

"Is it pretty?"

Seeing Jiang Ran's stunned expression, Wen Ling smiled and poked Jiang Fengdie's cheek, saying to him, "I told you, didn't I? Her eyes look a lot like yours, I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"..."

Catching a glimpse of the smile in Wen Ling's eyes, Jiang Ran took a deep breath, "Wen Ling."

"Um?"

"I've already said I don't plan to see her, you..."

"You can think of it as a chance encounter."

Wen Ling blinked, still smiling, and said, "Feng Die has already been born. Whether you see her or not, she already exists."

Humans are not objects and cannot be discarded at will.

Whether Jiang Ran acknowledges it or not, Jiang Fengdie has already been born.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and her tone became somewhat unfriendly: "So, are you trying to use the child to morally blackmail me now?"

"Of course not! I'm just telling you it's true."

"..."

"All right."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ran asked, "So why are you here, and with her?"

"My house is right next door!"

Wen Ling blinked, giving me a look that said, "You've fallen into my trap."

Meeting her gaze, Jiang Ran suddenly realized and blurted out, "This house isn't yours, is it?"

"It's mine!"

Wen Ling had no intention of hiding it from Jiang Ran at all, and directly admitted it.

"So all that talk about immigration by Wang Xi was just a lie?!"

"No, this house used to belong to my father, but he and his family are indeed currently abroad and haven't returned yet. I'm not lying to you about that."

"..."

So all that going around in circles, all this time Wen Ling not contacting him for so many days, acting like she wanted a divorce, was just her plan?!

His gaze fell on Jiang Fengdie's face in the stroller.

Just as Wen Ling said, Jiang Fengdie's eyes are very similar to his, especially as he grows older, his double eyelids become more and more obvious.

This is his daughter.

He had always been unwilling to see his biological daughter...

Soft and chewy, so cute...

wrong!

Jiang Ran suppressed the urge to hug Jiang Fengdie and asked Wen Ling, "So, Sister Wen, what brings you here all of a sudden? You're not planning on divorcing me yet, are you?"

"I......"

Just as Wen Ling was about to speak, the doorbell rang in the living room.
