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

The tension and anticipation vanished instantly.

Wen Ling stared blankly at the empty bed in front of her, her brows twitching slightly.

This was something she had never expected.

Jiang Ran, surprisingly, didn't obediently wait in the bedroom as she had asked...

Didn't she tell him to come up after he finished drying his hair?!

The heater was still on in the bedroom. She glanced at the half-closed bedroom door and her eyes darkened.

Perhaps Jiang Ran did come by just now, but went downstairs to get something...

She pondered for a moment, then walked to the bedside.

After sitting down on the side of the bed, Wen Ling changed into a gray and white velvet bathrobe.

She waited patiently, waiting for the elevator doors to open.

As time passed, Wen Ling raised her hand and turned on her phone screen.

Seeing that it was almost 10:30, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Frustrated, she scrolled through her phone screen and opened the security camera in the living room on the first floor.

However, the moment the image appeared, when Wen Ling saw Jiang Ran sitting on the sofa in the living room, leisurely drinking tea, she almost choked!

Ever since she married Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran has been as obedient as a puppy.

Aside from being extremely nervous in her presence, Jiang Ran never disobeyed her requests!

But now, she had already planned the agreed time and clearly told Jiang Ran to wait in the bedroom, but not only did he not come up, he was even leisurely drinking tea downstairs?!

Wen Ling subconsciously bit her lip, the veins on the back of her hand bulging as she gripped her phone tightly.

What does that mean?!

Is Jiang Ran planning to make her come downstairs and tell him again in person?!

In an instant, Wen Ling felt as if her proud self-esteem was being brutally crushed and rubbed into the ground!

She really couldn't hold back anymore.

She opened her WeChat chat with Jiang Ran.

When are you planning to come up?

She was in a hurry; in her anxiety while waiting for a reply, she even clicked on Jiang Ran's WeChat profile picture.

She was stunned when she saw his new post on WeChat Moments.

What do you mean by "warm sunshine in spring"? Is Jiang Ran subtly referring to her?

Wen Ling's gaze fell on the first half of the post on WeChat Moments; the solemn and oppressive tone seemed to be directed at her.

So, is Jiang Ran implying that she is usually too authoritative?

After much thought, Wen Ling felt that only this explanation made sense...

He didn't come up, perhaps because he wasn't mentally prepared to face her.

Thinking of this, Wen Ling felt the tightness in her chest ease.

She frowned and turned her head to look at the wardrobe...

First floor living room.

Upon seeing Wen Ling's message, Jiang Ran didn't rush upstairs.

He didn't reply, but instead opened Huang Xiao's chat window and typed: "[Have you deleted them all?]"

Huang Xiao: [Bro, that's hundreds of thousands of likes! I even deleted the caption, can't we keep the video?]

Jiang Ran: [Fine, stay if you want, but I won't be inviting you to my stall tomorrow, and don't even think about taking pictures of me again!]

Huang Xiao: [No, no, no, bro, I was wrong, I'll delete it right now...]

After checking Huang Xiao's account and confirming that the two videos had indeed been deleted, Jiang Ran issued another warning: "[I don't object to you wanting to become an internet celebrity, but if I find out you're faking it again and no one reports you, I'll report you myself!]"

Huang Xiao sent a meme of a bear waving a white flag: [I know I was wrong, bro, I'm sorry...]

Seeing this, Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just about to reply to Wen Ling when he heard the sound of the elevator car going down.

As the mechanical female voice announced "Elevator doors open," Wen Ling, dressed in gray loungewear, stepped out of the elevator.

Having just showered, she didn't tie up her long hair; instead, her cascading black hair flowed down her back, and she walked straight toward the sofa with an air of elegance and nobility.

She wasn't wearing glasses, and her complexion was much gentler than usual.

As Jiang Ran watched her sit down beside him, he could even smell the faint floral fragrance emanating from her.

Noticing Jiang Ran clutching his phone, Wen Ling frowned slightly, her voice icy: "Why didn't you reply to the messages I sent you?"

Jiang Ran was fully aware of this, but he quickly pretended not to know and asked, "Huh? Did you message me, sister?"

"......"

"Sorry, I didn't see it."

As he spoke, he scratched his head in an embarrassed manner, but out of the corner of his eye, he was observing Wen Ling's expression.

Her expression was normal, but her eyes were fixed on the teapot on the coffee table in front of her.

Inside the kettle, the hot water was still boiling, and the steam rising towards the ceiling.

Just as the atmosphere froze, Wen Ling's voice suddenly rang out.

"Come with me to the mall tomorrow."

Jiang Ran was stunned: "Me?"

"Um."

Wen Ling nodded and said very seriously, "It's the change of seasons, and I need to buy some new clothes. You should also need to buy some."

Jiang Ran suddenly looked down at the black down jacket she was wearing.

This was bought by his mom when he was in school, during a sale at the mall...

Meeting Wen Ling's extremely serious gaze, Jiang Ran was certain that she had already seen the post she had made on her WeChat Moments.

Otherwise, why would she suddenly say she wanted to buy clothes?

It seems his guess was pretty accurate; after spending these past few days together, this older sister has indeed developed some different feelings for him.

Although secretly pleased, Jiang Ran remained outwardly composed: "Sis, aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

Wen Ling said calmly, "As I've already said, I'm trying to reduce my work at the company because I'm preparing for pregnancy."

"oh."

Jiang Ran nodded, feigning difficulty: "But, I'm afraid tomorrow might not be an option..."

"Um?"

"I've made plans with a friend to set up a stall and earn money tomorrow. I've even bought the big pot for making boxed lunches. I have to get up early tomorrow..."

"Setting up a stall is more important to you than me, huh?!"

Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, Wen Ling blurted out her angry words!

Not only did he not go up to wait for her as planned, but she even came down herself and invited Jiang Ran to go shopping for clothes together tomorrow. And yet, he told her he didn't have time!

Seeing Wen Ling's visibly flushed face, Jiang Ran immediately put on a frightened expression, blinking and staring at Wen Ling helplessly.

Seemingly realizing she had misspoke, Wen Ling's eyes flickered with panic, but she feigned composure and said, "I meant I've already made a plan, and I don't want it to go wrong!"

"Oh, is that so? Then you can postpone the plan, sis. Plans can't keep up with changes, and you didn't make an appointment with me in advance. Besides, I already made an appointment with someone else. Sis, you're making me go back on my word..."

Watching Jiang Ran ramble on and on, it was clear that he had been very obedient just a week ago.

But today, he went against her plans twice in a row...

Wen Ling couldn't hold back any longer!
