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

"Yes, I like it when you take the initiative."

"Oh, I understand now."

Wen Ling was taken aback by his reply, which ended with a different tone.

Jiang Ran peeked out from his arms, showing no signs of grievance or injury; instead, a mischievous smile was clearly visible on his still somewhat immature face!

Evil grin!

Yes, at least that's how it seems to Wen Ling right now.

Only then did Wen Ling belatedly realize that she seemed to have been tricked, and she immediately bristled, instinctively shoving Jiang Ran away, "You, you tricked me!"

"Oops, we've been found out."

Jiang Ran remained grinning, showing no sign of panic at being exposed. He even said quite seriously, "I just noticed that you always like to say the opposite of what you mean, so I'm helping you out."

hateful!

So, all that she just did was a setup by Jiang Ran?!

Wenling suddenly became very popular.

Unlike before when she blushed because of shyness, this time, Wen Ling blushed purely because she was angry.

"Do I need your help? You, you, you're shameless!"

Even when they're cursing, they're still so cute.

This cultured person's insults are utterly devoid of any offensive power.

Jiang Ran laughed and said, "You're only just realizing how shameless I am?"

"It really is the first day."

Wen Ling finally calmed down.

Looking at Jiang Ran, she could clearly sense that Jiang Ran was very different from usual today.

When they first met, Jiang Ran was quite innocent. Later on, she did seem to use some sweet talk, but not often.

Later, they broke up and argued.

When you suddenly go back to the past, it's as if your memories have been pulled far away.

It's been so long, so long since I've seen Jiang Ran like this, and so long since we've been this sweet together...

For a moment, Wen Ling's gaze was very complicated as she looked at Jiang Ran.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but overall, she was very happy today.

From the moment Jiang Ran agreed to date her that morning, she was happy all day long, and even now...

"I don't care. Anyway, we're already stuck together now. As long as you don't give up, I won't leave."

Jiang Ran's voice suddenly rang out, and what he said sounded like a guarantee, but it was a bit off-topic.

Wen Ling felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, and she frowned: "What do you mean I won't leave unless I give up on you?"

"It means exactly what it says. Anyway, after we cancel the cooling-off period tomorrow, we'll still be legally married. I don't know when you'll get tired of me, but I definitely won't leave before you find me annoying."

As Jiang Ran spoke, she looked out the window.

As we chatted, it got a little dark; night was approaching, and it got dark early in early winter.

But the wintersweet outside the window is still blooming beautifully.

If there's anything lacking, it's probably the absence of a first snowfall.

His voice was powerful and resonant, striking Wen Ling's heart with every word.

What do you mean he won't leave just because she doesn't dislike him?!

When did she say she hated him?!

Wen Ling frowned, looking at Jiang Ran seriously, and argued with him: "What you said is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"That's not right. What do you mean you won't leave until I hate you? When did I say I hate you? And why are you so sure I'll definitely hate you?"

"Who can say for sure? You're still interested in me now, but who knows if you'll dislike me once that novelty wears off?"

"What if I keep liking you?"

Wen Ling's voice suddenly rang out, resounding and firm!

Jiang Ran subconsciously looked over and saw Wen Ling staring intently at him, her eyes seeing nothing but his image.

He never expected Wen Ling to take his casual remark so seriously.

This answer caught Jiang Ran off guard.

His eyes darted around a few times, and he muttered, "Well, weren't you acting pretty annoying just now? You even told me not to launch a surprise attack."

"I was just shy!"

Wen Ling was really anxious, and all the things she had been holding back before suddenly came out. Her words were out of her mouth, but she quickly realized what she had said.

This time, however, she didn't argue. She looked at Jiang Ran, her ears turning red, and said, "You can do that often in the future. I don't hate it; I like it very much."

Confessing your feelings can be so unexpected.

The prey and the hunter switched places, and Wen Ling's bluntness took Jiang Ran by surprise.

Subconsciously, Jiang Ran changed the subject, "Well, didn't Mom just tell us to go downstairs? Should we... go downstairs first..."

As he spoke, he stood up and started to walk downstairs.

His movement of standing up was sudden, which Wen Ling did not expect, but she also noticed that his ears were slightly red.

Judging from her reaction just now, it seems Jiang Ran is also shy?!

Wen Ling suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Ran's arm. "Stop!"

"..."

"Don't move!"

Wen Ling gave a serious order, then took two steps forward and stared intently at Jiang Ran's profile.

"..."

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Jiang Ran didn't even need to turn around to know that Wen Ling was staring at him.

Jiang Ran was momentarily flustered. "What...what are you doing?"

"Don't move!"

Wen Ling gave a command, then suddenly raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder.

"?"

"Squat down a bit."

"Why are you squatting down?"

"Never mind that, just lower it."

"oh."

Jiang Ran responded and obediently bent his knees, lowering his body slightly.

Looking at his profile so close to hers, Wen Ling stared intently, raised her hand, and used her fingertips to brush aside the hair beside his ear, exposing it to the air.

Bright red.

And it's becoming more and more popular.

Like a mercury thermometer, it heats up infinitely when it encounters a heat wave, especially under such scrutiny.

Even without turning his head to look, Jiang Ran could feel her burning gaze, which made his heart tingle. And the soft, teasing finger beside his ear...

In the ambiguous atmosphere, even the air became quiet.

Just as Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask Wen Ling what she was up to, her voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of intrigue and teasing.

"Xiao Ran,

Your ears are very red.

"..."

"It's just like me right now."

With her free hand, Wen Ling touched her ear, feeling the heat on her fingertips. Her cool voice carried a serious, research-like tone.

"Uh... so what!"

Jiang Ran instantly bristled. He quickly stood up straight, completely unaware of the stammering he was making: "We, we should go downstairs first. Um, Mother and the others..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ling grabbed his shoulder earnestly, "Don't worry about that now..."
