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

"..."

Jiang Ran didn't speak, but just stared at her blankly, feeling that something about her had changed.

"Let's eat first."

Wen Ling's eyes flickered, and she turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

She was somewhat annoyed.

Why would she suddenly say such things to Jiang Ran, like she was being coquettish? This is completely out of character for her.

Seeing her eating silently with her head down, Jiang Ran was also confused about the situation and began to eat somewhat awkwardly.

After the meal, Wen Ling invited Jiang Ran, "Would you like to go next door and take a look at my villa?"

"OK."

Jiang Ran nodded. He was also very curious about what kind of place Wen Ling had grown up in.

"Then come with me. The second floor is connected; there's a small door."

Wen Ling stood up and led the way outside.

Jiang Ran knew that this place must be connected to the next house, and he was also a little curious about the structure of this house.

Following Wen Ling through the narrow corridor on the second floor, Jiang Ran saw a stairwell. Opening the door to the stairwell and going down the stairs, Jiang Ran saw the hidden door.

As the hidden door opened, the scenery of the villa came into view.

It's clear that the villa has been carefully cleaned. It's late December, the dead of winter, and the tree branches are withered, but the pebble path on the ground is spotless.

Following Wen Ling to the small house in the villa, Jiang Ran found it less luxurious than the neighboring villas, but the atmosphere inside was warm and inviting. The fireplace was still burning, and a pot of clivia was in full bloom by the window. In stark contrast to the geometric style of the wedding room, Jiang Ran felt only warmth and coziness from the moment she entered the house.

It was an unprecedented feeling of warmth, a true feeling of home.

"Aunt Li usually cleans this place; she's always busy in the living room."

As Wen Ling spoke, she looked at Li Shu, who was coming out of the kitchen, and said, "Aunt Li, go and tidy up the dishes next door. Have Lanlan drive over later; we're going out soon."

"Yes, miss."

Although Li Shu was puzzled, she nodded and led the maid to tidy up.

Turning to Jiang Ran, Wen Ling asked, "Should I go check on the room?"

"OK."

Jiang Ran responded. The warm and inviting decor of the living room alone was beyond his expectations. He was now genuinely curious about what Wen Ling's room would be like.

Following Wen Ling into the bedroom, Jiang Ran's lips twitched violently as the door opened.

Similar to the previous cool and aloof style, Wen Ling's bedroom is simple and clean, still decorated in black and white, a completely different style from the living room.

"No, your bedroom..."

Jiang Ran paused at the doorway, looking at the somewhat mechanical-looking desks inside...

This is a completely different world from the fireplace outside!

"What's wrong with my bedroom? I feel perfectly fine."

Wen Ling raised her hand and pressed the switch at the door. Inside the room, the curtains opened automatically, the desk rose and fell automatically, and white light shone on—a fully mechanized structure.

"This was recently replaced. I use my eyes a lot at work, so I got a brighter light."

"..."

Seeing Wen Ling's reaction, Jiang Ran's lips twitched. He realized that it had been a long time since he had seen Wen Ling wearing glasses.

"By the way, sister, how nearsighted are you?"

He asked the question.

"It's over two hundred. I wasn't nearsighted when I was a child, but I don't know why my prescription gradually increased as I grew up."

Wen Ling answered naturally, not expecting Jiang Ran to suddenly ask this question.

Jiang Ran nodded: "Oh, no wonder I sometimes see you wearing glasses and sometimes not..."

"What? Do I look bad in glasses?"

Wen Ling's eyes flickered, her phoenix eyes filled with amusement and curiosity.

"Well......"

Meeting Wen Ling's gaze, Jiang Ran recalled that when Wen Ling wore glasses, she had a somewhat aloof and mature aura, but now, without glasses, she had the feel of a friendly older sister next door.

"How should I put it..."

Jiang Ran scratched his head and said seriously, "I think you have two completely different styles when you wear glasses and when you don't."

Which one looks better?

"...They all look good."

Wen Ling's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?"

"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied!"

"That's good."

Wen Ling raised the corners of her lips, walked to the desk, and introduced it to Jiang Ran: "This is where I usually work. I don't go to the company often; Liu Wan is usually there. I only go there occasionally. Usually, I sit at this desk reviewing documents and such. When I get tired, I go to the side to read a book and rest for a while..."

Listening to her dull and uninteresting description of her life, Jiang Ran's lips twitched: "Aren't there any other forms of entertainment?"

Wen Ling shook her head. "Those are all unnecessary things. I won't do anything meaningless."

"..."

Jiang Ran didn't quite agree with this. "How could it be meaningless? I think everything that appears in this world has meaning."

"But if we already know how things will turn out, then there's no point in doing it."

"So, sister, did you know from the beginning that we would make up?"

"..."

It wasn't a question of whether it was sweet or not; anyway, Jiang Ran's question stumped Wen Ling.

She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Jiang Ran's sudden mention of this made her somewhat apprehensive.

Instantly losing the desire to show Jiang Ran around her room, Wen Ling said, "Let's go and cancel the cooling-off period for the divorce first."

"Huh?"

We were just having a nice chat, how did the topic change so quickly?!

But since he had already agreed, Jiang Ran naturally didn't say anything more. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever my sister says."

Wen Ling hadn't seen him so compliant in a long time.

It really feels like a dream.

From morning till now, Jiang Ran's attitude has undergone a complete 180-degree turn. She is happy, of course, but more than that, she is anxious and worried.

Because of what happened recently, Wen Ling felt that Jiang Ran was plotting something.

She remembered that their cooling-off period for divorce was almost over, almost thirty days.

Perhaps only by actually getting the matter revoked will Wen Ling feel at ease.

"Buzzing—"

While she was thinking, Wen Ling's phone vibrated in her pocket. She gestured to Jiang Ran, took out her phone, and answered the call.

Seeing that she was on the phone, Jiang Ran didn't disturb her and just wandered around the room aimlessly.

He went to Wen Ling's desk, the place where she read. The desk was made of mahogany, and there was a bookcase next to it.

Wen Ling's bookshelf is filled with many English books, most of which are in English.

In an instant, Wen Ling's image suddenly seemed much taller in Jiang Ran's mind.

There wasn't any other reason, it's just that after being away from school for so long, Jiang Ran had honestly forgotten all of his English...
