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

"Sister, this is the food I made."

In the frozen atmosphere, Jiang Ran spoke first, took the initiative to step forward, and placed the lunch boxes from the bag in his hand one by one on the desk in front of Wen Ling, as if submitting a work report.

Looking at the clean tabletop, Jiang Ran took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped away the water stains that had dripped from the lunchbox lid onto the tabletop.

He even made sure to adjust the order of the plates.

The aroma of food instantly filled the air.

There was no anticipation of being able to try making food by myself; only the tension of waiting for approval.

Seeing that he was silent and didn't say a word, just like he had when he saw her before, Wen Ling frowned.

She hadn't forgotten why she had called Jiang Ran over today.

However, she finds it difficult to bring up those topics if the atmosphere is too tense.

Wen Ling's eyes flickered, and she pointed to the desk opposite her. "Sit down."

"..."

In the silence, Jiang Ran staggered slightly and sat down properly.

Noticing his movement, Wen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the exquisitely arranged food on the table. She asked, "Didn't you prepare anything for yourself?"

On the table was only her lonely rice box.

"No, I just made it and brought it to my sister. I can eat it when I get home after she finishes. I'm not in a hurry!"

When responding to her superiors' answers, Jiang Ran spoke with respect and clarity.

"..."

Wen Ling remained silent for a moment, her gaze falling on Jiang Ran's head, which remained unmoved.

She suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Fan Jiangran's attitude every time she faces her, is she really that intimidating?

"Bring up a bowl of rice."

Her cold, commanding voice rang out instantly.

Jiang Ran was taken aback and subconsciously glanced up, only to see Wen Ling holding a phone, as if she was sending a voice message to someone.

Jiang Ran had no intention of causing Wen Ling any trouble. He subconsciously waved his hand and said, "No need, sister, I'll eat when I get back..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because Wen Ling's gaze was too sharp.

It was as if disobeying her would result in him being subjected to fierce insults the next second.

Jiang Ran chose to keep quiet.

The only solution Wen Ling could think of to deal with Jiang Ran's silence and fear was to have a meal with him.

Wen Ling clearly remembered Jiang Ran's relaxed and talkative demeanor at the dinner table.

So, right now, Jiang Ran can't refuse to eat!

The tense and awkward atmosphere lasted for a full five minutes.

When Jiang Ran heard the knocking again, he instinctively looked towards the door.

Liu Wan pushed open the office door, panting, and placed the rice she had prepared on the table, along with a bowl and chopsticks.

Upon catching a glimpse of the scene inside, Liu Wan's heart skipped a beat.

In my memory, the usually aloof and decisive CEO Wen was sitting in his office chair inside, and across from him, with his head bowed and back hunched... was a young man...

If it were a boss listening to a subordinate's report, even though Jiang Ran looked a bit young, she could still accept it.

But right now, these two people are a legally married couple...

Whenever Liu Wan thinks of the word "husband and wife," she feels that her outlook on life has been greatly impacted!

This world has gone mad.

She mentally grumbled a curse, then quickly put down the rice and fled as if escaping.

As the office door closed, Wen Ling pointed and said, "Let's eat together."

To be honest, although Jiang Ran had just eaten breakfast not long ago, three hours had passed. Moreover, during these three hours, he had been busy cooking, chopping pig's trotters and ribs, which had taken a toll on his mental and physical strength.

The aroma of food filled the air, and he was indeed a little hungry.

Fortunately, to ensure there was enough food, he packed two portions of everything.

Jiang Ran nodded subconsciously and picked up her chopsticks.

If he were at home, he wouldn't be so nervous. The problem is that he's in Wen Ling's office now, and Jiang Ran really can't relax and start a conversation.

So he didn't say a word, and just kept his head down and ate his meal quietly.

The silence made Wen Ling find it hard to eat.

That's not right!

Doesn't he always ask her how the food tastes after he finishes cooking, and whether it suits her taste?

Why aren't you saying a word now?

Watching Jiang Ran gnaw on the ribs, Wen Ling bit her lip, unable to contain herself any longer, and asked, "Are you comfortable with the kitchen utensils at home?"

"cough......"

The atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Jiang Ran almost choked on the Sichuan peppercorns!

He quickly turned away, coughed a few times, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, and the dishwasher and such are very convenient to use."

"That's good."

Wen Ling nodded and added, "If there's anything at home that you find inconvenient, you can tell me, and I'll have Liu Wan find someone to make changes."

This should be normal communication with people, right?

Wen Ling rarely initiates conversations; whenever they do, the other person always has to speak first.

If she talked more about family matters when facing Jiang Ran, it might help him lower his guard.

This is how Wen Ling thought about it.

However, after Jiang Ran, who was sitting opposite her, coughed, she heard this sentence again...

In an instant, alarm bells rang in his mind!

What does it mean that my sister suddenly told him all this?!

Caring about him?!

Jiang Ran subconsciously glanced at Wen Ling, but when he saw the other's meticulous appearance, he immediately dismissed the idea!

What is he thinking about?

Someone like him is already incredibly lucky to have been chosen by Wen Ling and offered a contract to have her child. How could she possibly have any real feelings for him?!

They were probably just being polite.

Jiang Ran silently shook her head and continued eating seriously.

Seeing that Jiang Ran had almost finished his bowl of rice, which was served full, but he still didn't say a word, Wen Ling felt really annoyed.

Does he really have nothing to say to her?

Or was he really just doing what she asked him to do?

"..."

So annoying!

This feeling of being ignored made Wen Ling feel increasingly suffocated.

They had been drinking yesterday.

She didn't remember if Jiang Ran was drunk, or perhaps he had forgotten what happened afterward?

With this guess flashing through her mind, Wen Ling suddenly shifted her legs.

Perhaps they should do it again when they are sober.

I'll be going home tonight.

Wen Ling's voice remained icy, and her domineering aura was as strong as ever.

Jiang Ran shoveled the last mouthful of rice into her mouth, and while chewing, she obediently nodded to Wen Ling.

Is that all his reaction was?

Wen Ling's eyes deepened slightly, and she spoke again, saying something surprising: "Before eight o'clock, you can prepare dinner for me like last night, but I hope we won't drink any more tonight."

Jiang Ran nodded subconsciously, but the moment she swallowed her rice, she heard the second half of her words and was completely stunned!

His eyes widened in utter disbelief!

What did Wen Ling say?!

I'm going home tonight, and I won't drink, just like last night...

Isn't that just doing it all over again?!

No, the first one just ended, less than a day ago, and the second one is already starting?!

Jiang Ran's brain had completely shut down at this moment.

However, Wen Ling mistook this scene for an indication that Jiang Ran didn't want to come anymore.

She said somewhat angrily, "Why are you making that shocked face? Are you feeling wronged?"

"..."

Feeling wronged?! No, what wronged him of all! The thing is, this happened way too fast!

Before Jiang Ran could react and reply, Wen Ling's next sentence followed: "This week is my fertile period, and to ensure a smooth process, I need to try as many times as possible."

Wen Ling would never allow herself to be rejected face-to-face, even if there was only a one percent chance of it happening!

She absolutely would not allow Jiang Ran to refuse her!

Even if he didn't want to, he had to think about it after she brought it up herself!
