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

"Jiang Ran..."

Xia Yunxi bit her lip and took the initiative to ask, "Do you know how much that teapot costs...?"

"I really don't know."

Jiang Ran shook her head and stood up. "However, everything in this house is brand new. There should be some instruction manual or something left over by the coffee table."

As he spoke, he walked towards the living room and began rummaging through the cabinet under the coffee table.

Gazing at Jiang Ran's movements, Xia Yunxi silently clenched her fist at her side.

She never imagined that Jiang Ran and Miss Wen would actually be husband and wife...

Xia Yunxi couldn't hear their conversation very clearly through the bedroom door.

But she heard most of it.

Miss Wen is only with Jiang Ran to have a child.

But if you're just having children, why do you have to get a marriage certificate?!

With Miss Wen's assets, she can afford to live in such a villa. Even if she gave birth to a child while single, there are all sorts of ways to obtain a birth certificate, right?

"It seems there really isn't one; I only found an instruction manual..."

Jiang Ran's voice rang out. He scratched his head, took out his phone, and said, "How about this, I remember what that teapot looked like. I'll search on my phone to see if there's a similar one."

"..."

Xia Yunxi didn't speak, but just stared at Jiang Ran's movements, her heart aching.

She thought she was incredibly lucky to have another chance with Jiang Ran in this lifetime, but she never expected...

But if she hadn't misheard, Jiang Ran had just said that he and Miss Wen were going to get a divorce...

"Found it!"

Jiang Ran's voice rang out again. He smiled and walked towards Xia Yunxi, placing his phone in front of her and saying, "Look, this teapot is alright, 899, not too expensive!"

It's almost 900 yuan, isn't that expensive?

Seeing Xia Yunxi's eyes widen slightly in shock, Jiang Ran sighed.

If there weren't genuine difficulties, Xia Yunxi probably wouldn't have taken on this kind of work...

He finally softened and said, "You're new here and not familiar with everything yet. How about this, I'll give you half of this teapot!"

We're all classmates, but how often do we run into each other when we're away from home?

Since chatting with Xia Yunxi yesterday, Jiang Ran has already regarded her as a colleague who went out to work with him.

It's normal to help an old classmate!

We're brothers!

Hearing this, Xia Yunxi felt a warmth in her heart, and her nose tingled with emotion. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she sobbed, saying, "Thank you..."

"Don't mention it! If you ever have any difficulties, just tell me. Don't worry about working here, I've got your back!"

Jiang Ran waved his hand and slapped Xia Yunxi on the shoulder.

The way he said it made Xia Yunxi laugh instantly!

She wiped her eyes, raised her face, and smiled, saying, "Then I'll go deliver food to Miss Wen, and we'll eat together when I get back?"

"Sure!"

Jiang Ran didn't hesitate. That's how live-in nannies are; they deliver meals to their employers and then eat in private.

Anyway, Wen Ling isn't at the same table as him now, so it's fine for him to sit at the same table as Xia Yunxi.

Seeing Xia Yunxi rush to the kitchen and come out with a tray, Jiang Ran went straight to the dining room to wait for Xia Yunxi to come down for dinner.

A short while later, Xia Yunxi came down with an empty tray.

Seeing her smiling happily, Jiang Ran couldn't help but smile as well. "Smiling so happily? Did Miss Wen praise you?"

"Yes! Miss Wen just said my cooking was pretty good today!"

The tension vanished instantly. Xia Yunxi jogged over with the tray in her arms, smiling, and said, "I'll just go upstairs and bring the plates down later!"

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, recalling the time when he ate at the same table as Wen Ling, and Wen Ling had to wait on him to serve her porridge, as if he were serving a master.

He muttered to himself, "She's making things easy for herself right now."

"Miss Wen's requirements are indeed much fewer than other employers..."

Xia Yunxi subconsciously responded, but when she realized what Jiang Ran had said, she looked at him somewhat uneasily, "Jiang Ran... you seem to care quite a bit about Miss Wen?"

As she said those words, Xia Yunxi could feel her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat; she was so nervous her lips were trembling.

However, the next second, Jiang Ran's voice rang out!

"I care about her? Someone as stubborn as an old woman with bound feet, I'd even get a dog to wag its tail at me if I cared about it!"

As Jiang Ran spoke, he twitched the corner of his mouth, his face completely speechless.

Xia Yunxi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Jiang Ran furtively, then quickly changed the subject, as if afraid he'd noticed something: "Let's eat! I made the same thing for us as I made for Miss Wen!"

"OK!"

Jiang Ran nodded, looking at the beautifully presented dishes in front of her, and her appetite was instantly whetted!

He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

While eating, he glanced at the refrigerator and asked, "By the way, is there enough food in the fridge?"

Xia Yunxi, who had just picked up her chopsticks, nodded in confusion: "That's enough, I see there's plenty more in the fridge..."

"That's good. Perfect timing. I have the WeChat group for the big supermarket outside our villa. I'll add you to the group later. You can have them deliver any groceries you want for free."

Xia Yunxi's eyes lit up immediately: "That's great! I'm planning to make salmon for Miss Wen tomorrow, so I can buy some."

"salmon?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Will she reimburse me for the food expenses?"

"Reimbursement! The host family always reimburses the cost of meals. I'll keep the books, and then Assistant Liu will transfer the money to me."

"I see... So does she tell you in advance what she wants to eat each day?"

Xia Yunxi shook her head: "No, Miss Wen doesn't order any dishes and isn't picky about food. She just said that she's fine with whatever I make. If there's something she doesn't like to eat, I'll just be careful not to make it next time."

Jiang Ran nodded. So, if they want to eat something, the food will all be on Wen Ling's tab?

The words Deng Lanlan had just said to him flashed through his mind, and recalling Wen Ling's resolute expression when she wanted to sever ties with him last time, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought.

They've already gotten the marriage certificate, and all the things that were supposed to happen have happened...

Although Wen Ling probably likes him without realizing it, he knows it!

Or... should we give him and Wen Ling another chance?

Seeing Jiang Ran suddenly fall silent, Xia Yunxi's heart sank, and she cautiously called out, "Jiang Ran, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ran snapped out of her reverie. "No, I was just thinking, why don't you cook a seafood feast tomorrow?"

"......ah?"

"I saw that the supermarket near the entrance sells blue lobsters and king crabs. I've never eaten anything so expensive in my life. Thanks to Miss Wen, let's try them out!"

Ms. Wen and Assistant Liu did not mention any money restrictions on her grocery shopping, but...

"It's alright. If Miss Wen asks, just say I wanted to eat it. Just put all the blame on me!"

"Besides, Yunxi, don't you want to try a luxurious meal that only the rich can afford?"
