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

Jiang Ran, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wen Ling with her red lips tightly pursed, staring at him with an unfriendly expression.

The bright moonlight shone on her face, her long, black hair cascading over her shoulders. Looking at her fair complexion, Jiang Ran thought she was being haunted...

Before he could react, he saw Wen Ling turn slightly to the side, sit down beside his bed, and begin to take off her shoes.

Glancing at her movements, Jiang Ran's heart immediately went into overdrive!

He sat up abruptly, shrinking closer to the head of the bed, and asked, "Sister, what... what are you going to do?"

"Don't speak!"

As if afraid of being discovered, Wen Ling's urgent voice lowered, mixed with a hint of restrained command.

Jiang Ran stared wide-eyed at her, then pulled up the covers, curled up his legs, and brazenly crawled into his bed...

The familiar floral scent lingered around her nose, and Jiang Ran felt a sudden tightness in her body, instinctively shrinking further into the bed.

"There are still two days left in your fertile window. These two days are crucial to ensure the success of the plan."

As if eager to explain to Jiang Ran, Wen Ling murmured as she crawled toward him.

"..."

Jiang Ran watched as the large bulge under the blanket drew closer, swallowing hard. He looked at Wen Ling, who peeked out from under the blanket and stared directly at him, and asked bluntly, "Sister, is that all there is to it?"

Wen Ling responded softly, her eyes flickering slightly, "Mm."

Now fully awake, Jiang Ran remembered what happened before she went to sleep.

Looking at the bright moonlight shining through the window, Jiang Ran knew very well that it was already late at night.

Wen Ling took the initiative to come down and find him.

They even woke him up, even though he was asleep...

Jiang Ran's eyes flickered, and she went straight to the point: "Sis, to be honest, if you're really interested in me, why don't we try dating?"

His voice was soft, but his eyes were fixed on Wen Ling, and he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't have a bad impression of Wen Ling. The six-year age difference wasn't a big deal. Although he didn't know why Wen Ling hadn't been in a relationship at the age of 29, he didn't feel any distance between them after spending time together these past few days.

On the contrary, Jiang Ran thought she was quite cute in private.

The reason Jiang Ran was able to say these things was because of the inexplicable actions Wen Ling had taken towards him these past few days.

Since she can't express herself, then he should take the initiative.

He is very serious.

Wen Ling was so serious that she was somewhat stunned.

She bit her lip, stared intently at Jiang Ran, and said with some displeasure, "Why do you think I'm interested in you?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Jiang Ran shrugged and said frankly, "At first, I didn't think that way. After all, you're so successful, and I'm just unemployed. But sister, don't you think you've been interfering a bit too much with me lately?"

"..."

"We agreed not to interfere with each other's lives, but you keep an eye on me in all sorts of ways, and you even come to my house. You blush and get so flustered that you can't even speak when I get close to you..."

"I'm serious! If you're really interested in me, let's date, get married, and raise the child together. Even if I just stay home to pick up the baby and cook for you and the baby, that's all there is to life. We won't end up getting divorced, right?"

"Besides, you're so outstanding, to be honest, I'd say I'm a little interested in you too!"

Now that things were out in the open, Jiang Ran had no intention of hiding anything.

Although he and Wen Ling got their marriage certificate without any feelings for each other, it's not uncommon for couples to fall in love after marriage. Otherwise, how would the saying "love grows over time" come about?

Isn't it just that as people spend more time together in daily life, feelings gradually develop?

He looked at Wen Ling with a strange gaze.

Jiang Ran thought he had been serious enough and had made everything very clear, but little did he know that his words would be interpreted in a completely different way by Wen Ling!

What does it mean that he's also somewhat interested in her?

And you say it so casually, is this how confessions of love happen?!

Wen Ling frowned, somewhat displeased, and asked to confirm, "Are you confessing your feelings to me?"

"Confess your feelings?"

Jiang Ran paused for a moment, then said, "I guess... I guess so..."

Although their declarations of love before and after registering their marriage were similar, theirs was a case of love blossoming after marriage. They didn't even have a wedding, and their love wasn't passionate or unforgettable...

Isn't adult relationships all about negotiation and reaching a consensus?

However, Jiang Ran overlooked one point.

That is, no matter how old she gets, Wen Ling is still a girl, and boys and girls always have different aspirations for love.

Therefore, his somewhat indifferent tone annoyed Wen Ling, who was usually calm.

On Valentine's Day, even her father knew to prepare a surprise for her mother. And on their wedding anniversaries, she saw all the surprises her parents gave her.

But now, Jiang Ran treats love so casually, as if she were just a commodity to be picked up at will...

"You're overthinking it!"

Without any hesitation, Wen Ling coldly stated, "I'm just trying to have a child. I've already bought a pregnancy test. I'll take a self-test a few days after this is over. If it's positive, our contract ends here!"

Her tone was crisp and direct, leaving no room for leniency.

Jiang Ran frowned and asked again, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! I won't fall in love with anyone, and I will never allow anyone to hinder my plans!"

Wen Ling's tone was resolute, clearly leaving no room for negotiation!

Seeing her unwavering expression and recalling her various transgressions these past few days, Jiang Ran still stubbornly asked again, "Sister, you'd better think carefully before you answer me. Now that we're together, it's best not to leave any regrets for each other. So I'm making this very clear today: I'm genuinely willing to have a serious talk with you about whether we should be together for the rest of our lives..."

"How many more times do you want me to repeat myself?"

Wen Ling was getting annoyed by the questioning. She gripped Jiang Ran's wrist tightly, her fingers tightening, and said fiercely, "I've already made it very clear to you, don't flatter yourself. I only came down to see you a few times. You don't actually think I'd fall for you, do you?"

Wen Ling found it hard to accept that she was forced to go downstairs, climbed into Jiang Ran's bed, and was then forced into a relationship with him through negotiation.

Who pursues girls or dates like this? How is this any different from her conducting business in the marketplace?!

Do you really think she's offering herself up or selling herself?!

At this moment, Wen Ling felt that she had been too nice to Jiang Ran, which had emboldened him to be so bold!

I felt a sharp pain in my wrist, as if my fingernails had pierced my flesh.

When Jiang Ran saw that Wen Ling refused without any hesitation, he felt that he was also quite ridiculous.

He really did underestimate the situation!

Wen Ling is beautiful, has a great figure, and is successful in her career. Her mature and stable age is the icing on the cake for her. How could she possibly be interested in him?

Jiang Ran didn't insist any further, but just smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, I understand. Then, sister, let's begin."
