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

"Okay, I understand. I'll head back shortly..."

Hearing Wen Ling's voice and seeing her hang up the phone, Jiang Ran asked in confusion, "Did something suddenly come up that you need to do?"

"It was my mother who called to say there was a banquet today."

Wen Ling looked somewhat irritable.

"banquet?"

"Yes, it's Grandfather's friend who's back. They're having a banquet at home and asked me to take you back."

Jiang Ran was stunned: "Take me...take me back?! Haven't you told your family about our divorce yet?"

Glancing at Jiang Ran, Wen Ling asked, puzzled, "Why should I tell them this?"

"No, this..."

"It would be bad if our issues involved the older generation. Besides, if we told them we were getting a divorce, they would naturally think it was your fault, and I don't want that."

Wen Ling's voice was calm, as if stating a fact.

As Jiang Ran listened to her calmly finish speaking, he suddenly felt a bit childish, like a little kid. Just a few days ago, he had gone home and told her about their impending divorce, but in the end, Wen Ling hadn't told her family anything about it...

In an instant, Jiang Ran felt a warmth in his heart. He realized that Wen Ling had done many things behind his back, things he didn't know about, and all of them were for his sake...

"Ugh, looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try and get the cooling-off period overturned."

Wen Ling frowned, somewhat annoyed, after glancing at the calendar on her phone.

Jiang Ran's eyes darkened. "It's okay, tomorrow is fine. It's the same. Since I promised to withdraw, I won't go back on my word. It doesn't matter when we do it."

"Um......"

Wen Ling was still somewhat unhappy because she knew that sometimes, the longer things dragged on, the more dangerous they became.

She looked at Jiang Ran and emphasized, "Then you must come with me tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll definitely go with you!"

Jiang Ran agreed without hesitation.

Outside the window, a car horn suddenly sounded. Realizing that Deng Lanlan had already driven over, Wen Ling said, "Let's go out, Lanlan is here."

"OK."

Jiang Ran nodded and followed Wen Ling like a little follower.

Even after leaving the small house, seeing that Wen Ling didn't seem inclined to take Jiang Fengdie with her, Jiang Ran still asked curiously, "Sister, aren't we taking Fengdie?"

Wen Ling's expression instantly turned somewhat strange. She scratched her hair and said awkwardly, "Let's not bring it today. Mother and the others don't know I'm pregnant..."

"..."

Oh, so Wen Ling not only kept it a secret from him this past year, but also from her entire family, and really secretly gave birth to the child all by herself?!

Suddenly I felt at peace.

I got into the car with Wen Ling, and our destination was Yunqi Mountain Villa.

Throughout the journey, Deng Lanlan remained silent, only glancing repeatedly at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

From the moment she got on the bus, Wen Ling rested her head on Jiang Ran's shoulder, her eyes half-closed, as if she were taking a nap.

Jiang Ran sat upright, hooking her arm around Wen Ling's shoulder and carefully supporting her head.

Deng Lanlan saw this scene clearly.

If she weren't still driving, she would have taken out her phone and started screen recording.

No, what happened?! Just a few days ago, Premier Wen was acting like he was going to die, and now they've made up?!

Wait, what's with President Wen acting like a little woman?!

Crazy? !

......

Yunqi Mountain Villa.

They finally arrived at their destination. After getting out of the car, Wen Ling naturally took Jiang Ran's hand and followed the maid to the living room.

Deng Lanlan, who got out of the driver's seat, couldn't resist. She went over the roof of the car and took a picture of the two walking hand in hand into the villa with her phone. She then posted the picture in the four-person wingman team group chat.

Liu Wan: [?]

Wen Zhi: [Isn't this Yunqi Mountain Villa? Are they faking it to meet the parents?]

There wasn't even time to type, so Deng Lanlan sent a voice message directly: "What are you pretending for, Miss Second? Let me tell you, just now in the car, President Wen even leaned his head on Jiang Ran's shoulder. My goodness, they were so intimate. I was driving at the time, so I didn't dare to take a picture."

Wen Zhi: [Really? You must be mistaken. How could that be? Didn't they just have a fight the day before yesterday?]

Deng Lanlan: "Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes, Second Miss. Would I lie to you?!"

Liu Wan: [No way, they're back to normal already? What about all the time I've been working myself to the bone these past few days, even taking the time to investigate Li Yan's company?]

Deng Lanlan: "You're quite capable."

Liu Wan: [...]

Wen Zhi's voice also popped up: "No way, they made up so quickly, what's the point of me going all the way to Australia? So I came all this way for nothing?"

Deng Lanlan: "I don't know, but from what I saw, they really made up. Why don't you come back, Second Miss? It seems like nothing's wrong now..."

Wen Zhi: [。 ...

Inside the villa, Wen Ling's mother, Zhou Manru, sat in the living room, still wearing an expensive cheongsam, clearly having dressed up specially. She held a white Bichon Frise in her arms, the little dog lying obediently in Zhou Manru's arms without moving around.

Seeing the two children walk in hand in hand, Zhou Manru smiled happily, "You two are really something, you never know to take a moment to come back and visit. Mom is so bored every day except for playing cards with her friends."

Knowing that Wen Ling hadn't told the parents about what had happened over the past year, Jiang Ran smiled awkwardly and greeted Zhou Manru, "Hello, Auntie."

Upon hearing his address, Zhou Manru raised an eyebrow: "Still calling me 'Auntie'?"

"Well......"

Jiang Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Just as Wen Ling was about to defend herself, Zhou Manru's voice softened, "I'm telling you, Xiao Ling, you should adjust your work schedule. Take some time; your grandfather's friend is back these days, you two should hurry up and have a wedding. This is an essential part of the ceremony, you know?"

We're having a wedding.

Yes.

They haven't had their wedding yet.

It was Zhou Manru's reminder that made Wen Ling suddenly remember this matter; the wedding was not yet in her plans.

Moreover, Jiang Ran only agreed to be with her this morning. Judging from Jiang Ran's tone this morning, he seemed to want to talk to her first. If that's the case, then having a wedding seems...

"Oh yeah, sis, we haven't had a wedding yet, have we?"

Before Wen Ling could finish her thought, Jiang Ran's voice rang out. He looked at Wen Ling, as if he had just remembered this as well...
