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

He was talking quite a bit just now, just like last time. Isn't he going to say a few more things like he likes her?!

He... he's gone already?!

They hadn't spoken face-to-face for almost 24 hours...

Suddenly, the feeling of unease welled up in my heart again.

Looking at the cold, impersonal office around her, Wen Ling felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, a deep and painful ache...

She's very upset right now.

Especially after pushing Jiang Ran, the feeling of his hard abdominal muscles still lingered on my palm.

It's been a full day and a half since I last did it.

bother!

I'm so annoyed and upset!

Her thoughts drifted away, and Wen Ling shook her head abruptly, trying to refocus on her work. But when her hand touched the mouse, she found herself instinctively shifting the cursor to the monitoring software.

Since talking to Deng Lanlan yesterday, she hasn't checked the surveillance footage again.

Although she did have the urge to click and take a look during breaks from work, she managed to suppress it.

But now, after being in such close contact with Jiang Ran, his smell and his voice smell like cigarettes.

It happened again and again; I became addicted!

When a peaceful life is suddenly disrupted, a feeling of loneliness washes over you!

Wen Ling irritably untied her hair tie, raised her hand and rubbed her long black hair. Then she took out her phone and, for the first time, felt an unusually strong urge to confide in someone!

Wen Ling searched through her contacts but couldn't find anyone she could confide in.

Aside from work-related matters, such as those involving Liu Wan and Deng Lanlan, she didn't want her subordinates to know much about her love life.

As she swiped her finger across the WeChat contacts on the screen, Wen Ling's gaze settled on Wen Zhi's profile picture.

When it comes to understanding matters of the heart, her younger sister, who is only two years younger than her, knows far more than she does.

At the age of 27, and only two years after returning to China, she has been involved in numerous scandals, having a group of men completely smitten with her.

The last time she chatted with Wen Zhi was two years ago.

Opening Wen Zhi's WeChat Moments, Wen Ling saw that she had just finished filming the movie "Promise Under the Stars" a week ago and had just held a celebration party last night.

Still conflicted about Jiang Ran's point about the importance of communication in relationships, Wen Ling took the initiative to click on Wen Zhi's profile picture and sent her a message: "[Have you been home recently?]"

A reply popped up quickly: Wen Zhi: [Wow, sis, that's really something! You still remember me?]

Wen Ling had only typed halfway through "Stop talking nonsense" when the other person, as if anticipating her words, sent another message: [What's wrong? Did you suffer a setback in your relationship?]

With just two simple sentences, he directly and accurately hit Wen Ling's sore spot!

Before she could question her about the past, Wen Zhi's message popped up again: [I heard it from Mom, you and a younger brother got your marriage certificate. By the way, when are you having the wedding? I'm still preparing for the banquet.]

Three messages popped up in quick succession, and Wen Ling was so angry that she almost choked!

She suppressed her anger and typed three words: [Are you looking for death?]

Wen Zhi: [Fine! I admit I was wrong, okay?]

Wen Zhi: [What's going on? I heard from Mom that your younger brother just graduated from university, right? What's wrong, sis? You can't even handle this?]

Wen Zhi: [If it really doesn't work out, let's get a divorce and find someone younger. Sis, you're so pathetic! You can't even handle a guy who just graduated from university!]

Three more messages popped up, and Wen Ling almost smashed her phone in anger!

She must be crazy to even think of chatting with this sister who's always spouting nonsense!

Wen Ling's face was cold, and this time she typed only one word: [Get lost.]

Ignoring what Wen Zhi had posted, Wen Ling put down her phone, covered her face, and took a deep breath!

Wen Zhi's words had indeed reminded her.

Jiang Ran is six years younger than her, so logically she should be in complete control of this matter, but now it seems that she is being led by the nose by Jiang Ran.

Thinking of Jiang Ran's smiling face just now, Wen Ling bit her lip.

She absolutely couldn't let Jiang Ran laugh at her!

Wen Ling opened her calendar and calculated that her period would be in six days. If it was delayed by as much as seven days, she could use a pregnancy test to find out if she was pregnant...

the other side.

In the Black Mamba penthouse suite, Wen Zhi looked at her older sister on her phone, who hadn't replied to any more messages, and lazily stretched.

"Xiao Zhang, could you postpone my schedule for the next few days? I have some things to take care of these next few days."

"Well, it's a family matter, let's postpone the press conference..."

After giving a few instructions on her phone, her gaze fell on a profile picture on Douyin with the username "[Boxed Lunch Xiao Jiang]".

Those two videos on the C side can be easily found by browsing the comments section, and she can see them clearly.

"It's this young man named Jiang Ran!"

"He's good-looking, no wonder my sister has started chatting with me, tsk~"

Her eyes flickered, she lifted her red skirt and stood up, grabbing the car keys from the table as she did so, and immediately drove to Beijing.

......

As Jiang Ran came downstairs, he saw Xia Yunxi leading several supermarket employees toward the restaurant.

They were also holding various expensive seafood, which they were putting on the table.

Seeing Jiang Ran emerge from the elevator, Xia Yunxi's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still managed a smile and said, "Jiang Ran, I did as you said, I bought a lot of seafood, let's have a seafood feast tonight!"

Jiang Ran blinked; he had almost forgotten about this.

"How much did it cost?"

As soon as he asked the question, a staff member next to him took out a card from his pocket and handed it to him: "Miss, the total is thirty-five thousand yuan. This is the QR code for payment."

"Thirty...thirty thousand? Please wait a moment!"

Xia Yunxi paused, then quickly took out her phone, as if to send a message.

Seeing that she seemed a little anxious, Jiang Ran knew that Liu Wan was probably busy and didn't have time to reply to the message.

He proactively took out his phone and said, "Let me pay first."

After scanning the code, he saw Xia Yunxi's grateful expression and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, just transfer it back to me after she transfers it to you."

Xia Yunxi's expression turned complicated when she realized that Jiang Ran could casually pull out such a huge sum of money.

Watching him casually stuff his phone into his pocket, Xia Yunxi felt a pang of sadness, yet also a warm feeling in her heart.

This isn't even a hint!

She's been here three times already!

Jiang Ran helped her three times in a row, and each time he didn't ask for anything in return. He was clearly hinting at something!

As fitness coach Luo Wei arrived, Jiang Ran and Luo Wei went to the storage room together, while Xia Yunxi gripped her phone tightly.

Jiang Ran didn't tell her directly, which meant he had his own unspeakable difficulties.

All she has to do now is wait, wait for the day he's willing to tell her himself...
