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

Another night passed, and it was noon the next day.

As early as midnight yesterday, Wen Ling had already returned to the second floor after they finished, and Jiang Ran woke up alone.

As he pushed open the door, he heard a "clinking" sound coming from the kitchen.

"Jiang Ran, you're awake?"

Hearing a noise outside, Xia Yunxi, wearing an apron, peeked out with a smile.

When Xia Yunxi's gaze shifted downwards and she saw the red marks on Jiang Ran's tanned neck, her smile became noticeably stiff.

Jiang Ran, who had just woken up, touched his chin with a blank expression and hummed in response.

"I left you some food; if you didn't wake up soon, I was going to put it away!"

Xia Yunxi smiled and said something, her eyes slightly lowered, and pointed to the dining table.

Jiang Ran, who had never received such treatment before, suddenly woke up with a start!

He stared blankly at the beautifully arranged dishes on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Cooking is something girls really need to be good at, right? Putting everything else aside, just look at this plating! He felt he'd need to take some culinary lessons to get the hang of it...

"It looks delicious!"

He kept praising her, then hurried towards the bathroom, saying, "Wait for me, I'll be right back after I wash my face!"

Seeing Jiang Ran's practiced movements, Xia Yunxi's gaze fell on the bedroom he came out of.

During the summer vacation before her senior year of high school, Xia Yunxi's mother, who worked at a housekeeping company, was recognized as an outstanding employee. Since Xia Yunxi had nothing to do at home during the vacation, her mother took her to the villa to clean.

She knew a little about the layout of the villa, so she could tell that the bedroom was the master bedroom on the first floor.

Just as she guessed yesterday, Jiang Ran was probably really being kept by Miss Wen.

Having accompanied her mother to various villas, Xia Yunxi had witnessed many such incidents. Regardless of gender, anyone with money would do anything; it was simply a matter of whether they were willing to lower themselves.

But all of this was ultimately just a mirage.

In this world, the only things that money can't buy, besides time, are sincerity.

Hearing the splashing water coming from the bathroom, Xia Yunxi looked over there with some empathy.

Jiang Ran... this past year after graduation must have been tough for you too...

With a "click".

As the bathroom door opened, Xia Yunxi's eyes flashed, but she quickly changed her expression, still wearing that smiling face. She pointed to the dining table, "Come on! You probably haven't tried my cooking yet, have you?"

That's true.

Jiang Ran scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and sat down at the dining table.

Meeting Xia Yunxi's expectant gaze, Jiang Ran picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately lighting up!

"So crispy! Wow, you're really good at cooking!"

Xia Yunxi immediately became proud: "Of course! My mom used to be a head chef. I usually help her out on my days off. I can make all kinds of bread and pastries!"

"..."

Jiang Ran didn't have time to say anything more, her chopsticks never stopped moving.

Seeing Jiang Ran wolfing down his food, Xia Yunxi smiled contentedly and said, "Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make this dish for you every day from now on!"

She just signed a one-month contract, so she can eat it every day for the next month!

Jiang Ran didn't have time to think too much, and nodded hurriedly while shoveling food into his mouth.

While we were eating, the doorbell suddenly rang.

As if she had known in advance, Xia Yunxi quickly ran over and opened the villa door.

Jiang Ran looked on blankly as a formally dressed woman in a black coat and high heels strode in.

Similar to the capable demeanor that Liu Wan and Wang Lu gave Jiang Ran when they appeared, the woman merely glanced at Jiang Ran indifferently before walking straight toward the elevator.

Knowing that this was one of Wen Ling's men, Jiang Ran didn't say anything and just ate in silence.

Xia Yunxi didn't look at him much. With a stranger suddenly appearing, she didn't dare to talk to Jiang Ran anymore and continued to busy herself in the kitchen.

Second floor office.

Wen Ling, who had eaten breakfast early and was sitting in her office, heard a knock on the door. Her voice was icy: "Come in."

As the office door opened, Deng Lanlan nodded respectfully to Wen Ling, then took out a small notebook from her bag.

"Mr. Wen, this is a psychological test I drafted last night. Please take this first."

As the prospective heir of the Wen family, Wen Ling undergoes a full range of physical examinations every year, including detailed psychological tests.

All of these were handled by her personal family doctor, Deng Lanlan.

It's already the end of the year, and logically, she should have already done it once back in August. Deng Lanlan didn't expect that less than half a year later, President Wen would want to do it again...

Deng Lanlan recalled Jiang Ran, whom she had only met once downstairs.

She had indeed heard that President Wen had found a marriage partner, but she hadn't expected the man to look so young...

Ten minutes later, Wen Ling pushed the completed test paper in front of Deng Lanlan.

After glancing at the test scores, Deng Lanlan frowned slightly.

"Premier Wen, have you been experiencing significant mood swings lately?"

Wen Ling's voice was icy: "Sometimes."

"When exactly?"

"..."

Meeting Deng Lanlan's eyes, Wen Ling bit her lip. "I can't remember."

She gave a very general summary, then said seriously, "I've just been feeling a lot of emotional fluctuations lately. Sometimes I get inexplicably angry and have uncontrollable physical violence tendencies."

Wen Ling recalled that these past few days, whenever she was alone and thought of Jiang Ran, she would uncontrollably erupt with inexplicable emotions.

This was something that had never happened before in her life. Even when she was 22 and in an extremely high-pressure work environment, she had never broken down like this.

Deng Lanlan, a graduate of a renowned psychology program, immediately noticed that Wen Ling was deliberately concealing a lot of information.

However, since President Wen refused to say it voluntarily, she couldn't get the answer out of him even if she wanted to.

Deng Lanlan's eyes flickered, and she could only hint, "President Wen, you are in a high-pressure work environment all year round, which is indeed causing psychological discomfort. I suggest you temporarily stop your work and take this time to rest."

"Humans are not machines; it's normal for them to experience emotional changes."

After saying that, Deng Lanlan added that, having been by Wen Ling's side for many years, in addition to ensuring Wen Ling's physical health, the most important thing was her mental health.

But the next second, Wen Ling's icy voice suddenly made Deng Lanlan freeze!

"Is it normal for me to sometimes want to kill people?"

Deng Lanlan: "..."

"Is it normal to have murderous thoughts when you're emotionally overwhelmed, so angry you're about to go crazy, or when you're crying uncontrollably?"

"this......"

Deng Lanlan was momentarily speechless. Seeing the sinister glint in Wen Ling's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked, "President Wen, who do you want to kill...?"
