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

So, the plan Li Yan discussed with her was to make Jiang Ran think she was greedy for money?!

"I want the opportunity to study abroad."

Li Yan's voice echoed in Wen Ling's mind.

I don't think that Li Yan is that kind of person.

Wen Ling suddenly felt a little regretful.

He regretted agreeing to Li Yan's plan and allowing Li Yan to spend this short time alone with Jiang Ran.

He must feel like a failure.

Wen Ling remembered Qin Yiyao.

Qin Yiyao was Jiang Ran's high school classmate.

They both got into Peking University and dated for many years, but broke up before meeting her.

Wen Ling didn't know the reason, but based on the information she had gathered and Jiang Ran's current account, it was mostly about money.

And Xia Yunxi.

That was Jiang Ran's college classmate.

Wen Ling was angry with Liu Wan for a while because it was Liu Wan who selected Xia Yunxi. Liu Wan had seen Xia Yunxi's profile and knew that she had graduated from Peking University, just like Jiang Ran. Liu Wan hadn't noticed the key point and recommended this person to her.

But later, Xia Yunxi also took the money and left. Wen Ling had seen her recent information and found that Xia Yunxi had entered the entertainment industry and started taking on short dramas with the money she had given her.

The Li Yan who is now appearing was introduced by Jiang Ran's parents, and like her, she is also a blind date.

Having only met Li Yan once, Wen Ling couldn't discern her character, nor did she know if she would fall out with the person she liked over money.

But Wen Ling was certain that Li Yan, who worked in human resources management, had a very accurate grasp of human nature, and Jiang Ran would suffer if he were with her.

At least emotionally.

"..."

Looking at Jiang Ran, Wen Ling moved her lips slightly and said in a very soft voice, "I'm sorry."

"Um?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback, then moved her arm up to reveal her eyes, peeking at Wen Ling through a slit. "What are you apologizing for?"

"......have no idea."

Wen Ling's eyes flickered, and her tone was somewhat anxious, "It's probably because of what just happened."

"just?"

Jiang Ran was a little confused. "What just happened?"

"While you were out, Li Yan and I chatted for a while."

"What did you talk about?"

"She heard about our relationship and knew it was because I didn't want to divorce you, so she told me she would help me in exchange for me sending her abroad to study."

Wen Ling recounted her conversation with Li Yan verbatim.

There were also some details from the conversation; anyway, there was nothing to hide.

She's a little nervous right now.

Wen Ling was afraid that if Jiang Ran found out about this, he would be angry, he would blame her for scheming against him again, and he would think that she was difficult to deal with, like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off no matter what...

but.

"yes."

Jiang Ran suddenly smiled. He didn't look at Wen Ling anymore, but looked up at the ceiling through his palm and said calmly, "I probably guessed it too."

"Huh?"

Wen Ling was stunned.

"You guys keep sending me out to get this and that. Even if I'm stupid, I can guess what's going on. It's too obvious, isn't it?"

Jiang Ran's tone was calm and unwavering; he was simply thinking about another statement Wen Ling had just made.

[The reason is that I don't want to divorce you.]

What does that mean?!

Since that argument, Wen Ling hasn't taken the initiative with him much anymore, isn't it because she's already decided to divorce him?!

Now... you don't want a divorce?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran had already figured it out. Fearing that he would misunderstand, Wen Ling quickly explained, "It wasn't me who suggested it, and I didn't ask her to do it. She made the request herself. She only said that she wanted to spend some time alone with you. I don't know the specifics of your conversation."

"Um."

To Wen Ling's surprise, Jiang Ran's reaction was very calm.

Apart from the fact that he was still sitting there alive, Wen Ling could not sense any emotional fluctuations from Jiang Ran, as if he were a stagnant pool.

In the past, Jiang Ran would have argued with her, had a big fight with her, and talked to her a lot, using his disgusted tone and irritated eyes. But now, he was silent.

A long silence.

Wen Ling's heart leaped into her throat. The change, driven by inertia, was hard for her to accept. She struggled to explain, "I... I don't know Li Yan. I didn't know she would do this. I..."

"I know~"

Interrupting Wen Ling's voice, Jiang Ran said in a light tone, "From the first time I met her, when she said she worked in human resources management, I knew she was good at weighing pros and cons, Sister Wen."

As Jiang Ran spoke, he suddenly turned his head, lowered his arm, and looked at Wen Ling seriously. "Before I ran a stall for a year last year, I worked for a company. You don't really think I don't know anything, do you?"

Jiang Ran's cheeks were slightly flushed, as if he was feeling the effects of the alcohol. His eyes were fixed on her, hazy with drunkenness, and his voice was gentle as he spoke.

Wen Ling's heart started racing instantly, and she turned her head away a little embarrassed.

Why aren't you looking at me?

Jiang Ran tilted her head, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

The voice suddenly appeared, unlike its usual harshness; instead, it was somewhat soft, almost like a coquettish whining.

Wen Ling bit her lip, her hands on her lap suddenly clenched, and she said through gritted teeth, "...I'm apologizing to you."

"I know, I mean, if you're going to apologize, just apologize. Why did you suddenly turn your head away?!"

Jiang Ran's eyes flickered. Could it be because Wen Ling suddenly thought he was ugly...?

The only redeeming quality about him is his face; if he didn't have that face, how would he ever find a girlfriend...?

"I'm sorry..."

Annoyed by Jiang Ran's persistent questioning, Wen Ling decided to throw caution to the wind and blurt out her true feelings: "Ugh, you know I like you, yet you keep looking at me with those deep, affectionate eyes. How am I supposed to apologize to you?!"

"deep feeling?!"

Jiang Ran suddenly leaned forward.

ha? !

His eyes were filled with affection?!

Jiang Ran touched her face numbly, then took out her phone and turned on the front camera.

On the phone screen, his cheeks were indeed red. He had been drinking, and after a long day of moving, he was still a little sleepy and couldn't keep his eyes open, so his gaze looked a bit unfocused and he didn't seem very energetic.

But where's the affection?!

Jiang Ran looked at Wen Ling with some confusion.

She hadn't drunk any alcohol, but her cheeks were slightly flushed, the blush spreading to her ears. She turned her face to one side, revealing her fair neck.

Seriously? He was just a little tipsy, how can you interpret that as deep affection?

Jiang Ran suddenly laughed, "Sister Wen, you're being so affectionate even when looking at a dog. I think you've misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

"I mean, the way I'm looking at a dog right now, it's all so affectionate."
