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

Wen Bojun sat on the other side of the single sofa, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his face calm and expressionless.

Sitting next to him was Wen Ling's mother, Zhou Manru. Zhou Manru was smiling and talking to the old man in the Tang suit. When she saw the two of them come in, her eyes lit up.

"Coming, coming, come over here quickly." Zhou Manru waved.

Wen Ling took Jiang Ran's arm and walked over, first bowing to Wen Chongshan, "Grandfather."

"Um."

Wen Chongshan nodded, his gaze falling on Jiang Ran with the scrutiny typical of an elder.

Jiang Ran bowed slightly, "Greetings, Grandfather."

Wen Chongshan hummed in agreement, his voice not loud, but it conveyed his approval.

Zhou Manru tugged at Jiang Ran's sleeve, gesturing for him to look at the elderly man in the Tang suit. "Ranran, this is your grandfather's old comrade-in-arms, Grandpa Chen Guodong. You probably didn't meet him when you were little; Grandpa Chen has been living abroad all these years."

Jiang Ran turned to Chen Guodong and bowed slightly. "Hello, Grandpa Chen, I am Jiang Ran."

Chen Guodong chuckled as he looked Jiang Ran up and down, finally nodding in satisfaction. "Good, good, young man, you've got spirit. Old Wen, your grandson-in-law is quite good."

Wen Chongshan smiled, a rare occurrence for him. "Not bad."

"Not bad?" Chen Guodong clicked his tongue twice. "Your mouth is still the same as it was back then, saying 'not bad' for everything. If I had such an energetic grandson-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Zhou Manru chimed in with a smile, "Uncle Chen, Ranran is still young, six years younger than Xiaoling. You can't praise him like that!"

"So what? It's a good thing for young people to have a bit of arrogance!"

Chen Guodong waved his hand, looking at Jiang Ran, "Ranran, let me tell you, Lao Wen is a tough guy with a soft heart. When he says 'not bad,' he means 'very good.' It seems he's quite satisfied with you as his grandson-in-law!"

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded in agreement, "I know, Grandpa Chen."

Wen Ling stood to the side, watching Jiang Ran talk to the elders, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

It feels like... peace of mind.

It feels...unreal.

Everything has happened so fast since yesterday morning.

Jiang Ran suddenly agreed to reconcile, suddenly went home with her, suddenly called her "Mom" in front of the elders, suddenly stood straight in front of her grandfather, suddenly...

Suddenly it seemed like everything was back on track.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Ran's arm, and the touch of his arm made her feel much more at ease.

"Alright, enough with the small talk. We haven't seen each other in so long, you've got to have a few drinks with me today!"

Wen Chongshan spoke with a chuckle, gesturing to Jiang Ran, "Ranran will keep you company!"

"Ah...yes, Grandfather."

Jiang Ran nodded quickly.

The luncheon was held at a long table in the main hall.

The tablecloth was dark red, with a pot of blooming orchids in the center. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, filling the entire hall with a warm and solemn atmosphere.

Everyone present was a member of the Wen family; Wen Zhi hadn't returned, and the table wasn't full.

Wen Ling and Jiang Ran sat side by side in the back, while their grandmother, Liu Yeyun, sat next to Wen Chongshan.

After taking their seats, Liu Yeyun kept glancing at Jiang Ran and Wen Ling with sharp eyes, occasionally turning her head to whisper to Wen Ling's mother, Zhou Manru.

The conversation at the dinner table covered a wide range of topics, from Chen Guodong's life abroad to Wen Chongshan's recent health tips, and from Wen Bojun's company to Zhou Manru's cheongsam collection.

Jiang Ran didn't talk much, but every word she said hit the nail on the head, neither seeming deliberate nor cold.

Wen Ling listened from the side, and when Jiang Ran encountered a topic she couldn't answer, she would help by saying a few more words.

Wen Ling and Jiang Ran were actually just there to keep the guests company at this meal.

Jiang Ran knew very well that the focus was actually on Wen Ling's grandfather's friend.

Wen Ling naturally knew this, so after finishing her meal, she made an excuse to leave.

That's what they thought, but in fact, the two of them were the main characters at tonight's dinner.

Watching the two leave, Chen Guodong leaned over and said, "That kid's alright. Your grandson-in-law is quite handsome, though a bit too refined. Can he fight?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Chongshan burst out laughing.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? You go around asking everyone if they can fight you, do you think you're still in the army?"

"Of course, that's my only hobby in this life."

Chen Guodong slammed his hand on the table with a self-righteous air, "Let me tell you, back then our company's political instructor was so refined and looked like a scholar, but on the training field, he could take on three men at once. I'm just talking about his demeanor. Your grandson-in-law has that kind of spirit."

Wen Bojun, holding his teacup, spoke up, which was rare for him, "Uncle Chen, he graduated from a proper university, he's not one of your soldiers."

"So what if I graduated from university? Does graduating from university mean I can't fight anymore?"

Chen Guodong clicked his tongue twice. "Old Wen, I think your son-in-law is alright. He has a kind of inner beauty. When this kind of person gets angry, he basically doesn't need anyone's help."

Zhou Manru shook her head with laughter, "Uncle Chen, what are you saying? Ranran doesn't fight, why are you worried about this?"

"It's not worry, it's curiosity."

Chen Guodong took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "My granddaughter's boyfriend looks like a little chick, like he'd be blown away by the wind. But your son-in-law seems more like it. He looks thin, but you have a good frame. You've been working out, haven't you?"

Wen Chongshan jokingly scolded, "You old rascal."

Chen Guodong chuckled, "Hey, but I have to say, Xiao Ling is still the same as when she was little. She seems cold and doesn't like to talk much..."

"Things are so much better now than before!"

Zhou Manru chimed in, nudging Liu Yeyun, "Right, Mom? Xiaoling is so much better than before."

"really."

Liu Yeyun nodded. "This child's eyes are shining now; he's definitely different from before. But have you noticed something?"

Everyone froze for a moment, then a shrewd glint flashed in Liu Yeyun's eyes. She suddenly smiled and teased, "You guys didn't even notice? Old man, you and Guodong, didn't you see anything?"

Wen Chongshan and Chen Guodong shook their heads, looking completely bewildered.

Zhou Manru became a little anxious. "Mom, just tell me directly, what did you figure out?"

"I'm telling you, kid!"

Liu Yeyun raised her hand and tapped Zhou Manru on the head. "Have you really forgotten about it, or have you just been living too comfortably all these years?"

"Mom, what are you trying to say? What do you mean I didn't see it? Are you talking about Xiaoling gaining weight? She..."

Zhou Manru had just muttered a few words when she suddenly seemed to remember something. Her eyes widened as she looked at Liu Yeyun.

Seeing that Zhou Manru finally realized what was happening, Liu Yeyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have to say, you guys are really something, all you care about is eating all day long, you can't even tell that Xiaoling was pregnant?"
