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

The afternoon fitness training proceeded as usual.

Afterwards, Xia Yunxi still prepared juice for Jiang Ran at the dining table.

Seeing Jiang Ran drinking juice while holding her phone with her eyes glued to the screen, Xia Yunxi hesitated at the kitchen door, wanting to say something but holding back.

She really wanted to ask Jiang Ran if he hadn't seen her message.

But with the words stuck in her throat, she felt that asking so directly and abruptly seemed a bit inappropriate.

Jiang Ran never told her about his relationship with Wen Ling, and last time he used "working here" as an excuse.

She could tell that Jiang Ran was probably also concerned about saving face.

So he just pretended not to see the message?

Xia Yunxi bit her lip, and didn't ask the question again.

At dinner time, while sitting at the table together, Xia Yunxi noticed that Jiang Ran was still playing on his phone, and she finally couldn't resist.

She probed indirectly, "Jiang Ran...do you have any clothes to wash? Perfect timing, Miss Wen also has some clean clothes; shall I wash them for you?"

"No need, there's a washing machine, I can just throw it in, no need to trouble you."

Jiang Ran kept her eyes fixed on the phone screen, without glancing to the side.

Seeing this, Xia Yunxi did not speak again.

She finished her meal in a sullen mood, and after finishing her workday, she returned to her room, but left the door open.

She huddled in bed, listening to the sounds outside.

But until midnight, the expected sounds of Jiang Ran going upstairs or Miss Wen coming downstairs never came.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?

As the time on her phone screen jumped to 12:10, Xia Yunxi suddenly sat up in bed!

They clearly gave us roses during the day, so what are they going to do at night?

"..."

The villa was quiet, except for the howling night wind in the garden outside.

Clutching her phone tightly, Xia Yunxi suddenly felt that she couldn't wait any longer.

What if this time, Jiang Ran is confessing his feelings to Miss Wen?!

Aside from that, she couldn't imagine under any other circumstances that she would need to send roses to the woman...

Xia Yunxi's eyes darkened.

Perhaps she should find an opportunity to ask Jiang Ran directly; waiting aimlessly like this doesn't seem like a solution...

The next morning, Jiang Ran started cooking the large pot of rice as usual.

As usual, he appeared at the construction site around 11 a.m. with a cart, while Huang Xiao helped record videos and pack bags.

After finishing his lunch break, Jiang Ran returned to the villa, ate a quick bite, and then went to the storage room to continue exercising under Luo Wei's guidance.

At 4:50 p.m., a black minivan stopped in front of the villa. As the door opened, a man in a black suit and shiny black leather shoes got out of the car.

Looking at the villa in front of him, the man excitedly straightened his collar and rang the doorbell.

Xia Yunxi, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, jogged out and opened the door for the man.

Upon seeing Xia Yunxi dressed in a maid's uniform and with a youthful appearance, the man's eyes clearly lit up!

"Miss Wen has excellent taste; even her maids are so beautiful."

He smiled and offered a word of praise, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yunxi, "Hello, little sister, if Miss Wen ever needs anything in the future, you can come to me~"

He said it with a smile, then strode straight into the villa.

Clutching the gilded business card, Xia Yunxi watched the man's retreating figure with a complex expression.

This was the first time she had seen another man with Miss Wen since she came to the villa.

Judging from the man's appearance, he should be around the same age as Miss Wen, or perhaps even much older...

Isn't Miss Wen's nominal husband Jiang Ran?

How could another man suddenly appear at a time like this...?

Jiang Ran doesn't look like this uncle at all!

Could it be one of Miss Wen's other suitors?!

The moment the thought popped into her mind, Xia Yunxi startled herself!

After all, if he were one of Wen Ling's employees, he wouldn't speak so casually. And looking at the car he was driving, it was obvious that he was of similar status to Wen Ling!

Considering that Jiang Ran had just given Wen Ling roses yesterday, and another man came to visit today, could it be that the man asked Jiang Ran to give her the roses?

Are Jiang Ran and Miss Wen about to get a divorce?!

The moment the thought popped into her mind, Xia Yunxi became excited. She shoved the business card haphazardly into her pocket and hurried toward the storeroom!

As soon as they arrived at the storeroom, the door was opened, and Luo smiled, waved to Jiang Ran, said "See you tomorrow," and left.

Upon seeing Jiang Ran emerge from inside, his forehead drenched in sweat, Xia Yunxi hurriedly called out, "Jiang Ran!"

Jiang Ran, who was eager to get an answer from his superiors, had just pressed the elevator button when he heard this. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yunxi bit her lip and said directly, "A guest who seemed to be Miss Wen just came in. Are you going upstairs now?"

"guest?!"

Jiang Ran was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the time on her phone screen.

Because he remembered that Wen Ling had told him to be upstairs at 5 o'clock sharp today, he discussed with Luo Wei and finished five minutes early. It's 4:57 now, no problem.

But Wen Ling has guests?!

Xia Yunxi nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, he looks like an older uncle to me."

"Uncle?"

Jiang Ran was even more puzzled. Seeing that the elevator doors had already opened, and since Wen Ling had given instructions, he wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, so he didn't think much of it and stepped inside.

"It's nothing. Wen Ling told me yesterday to go up and find her at this time. I guess she's one of her company's employees."

Before the elevator doors closed, he gave Xia Yunxi these instructions.

However, with Xia Yunxi's reminder, Jiang Ran deliberately slowed his pace when the elevator reached the second floor.

He went to the living room and saw that the office door was ajar, from which he could hear a man and a woman talking.

Jiang Ran didn't have the hobby of eavesdropping on others, especially Wen Ling's work-related matters. He subconsciously wanted to wait at the stairwell in the corridor.

However, just as he turned around to leave, he heard a man's magnetic, excited voice coming from inside!

"Miss Wen, really?! You're really willing to give me a chance to pursue you?!"

Jiang Ran stopped abruptly, turning around in a daze to look at the half-closed office door in disbelief...

The office was so quiet that only the sound of the wind outside the villa could be heard.

Wen Ling, who could clearly hear the elevator going up and opening its doors, had already looked past Weng Bingyun, who was in front of her with an excited expression.

She stared at the half-open office door, knowing perfectly well that Jiang Ran was right outside at that very moment!
