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

What do you mean by moving out? Where else can he move to? Is he dissatisfied with the wedding room she prepared for him?

Wen Ling tried her best to restrain herself from the urge to check the downstairs surveillance footage.

She moved the mouse back and forth, but the dense text on the computer screen made her feel extremely confused!

Is he really going to move away?

The moment the thought popped into her mind, Wen Ling immediately rejected it!

How is that possible!

She had also personally visited Jiang Ran's parents' home. Jiang Ran's family background was similar to most people's; her parents were both wage earners, and their house was an old building from the past. They had not yet bought a house for Jiang Ran in the city.

Even when he was with Qin Yiyao, Jiang Ran only rented a place near the company where he worked.

Having experienced such a villa, how could an ordinary person like Jiang Ran be willing to return to renting a house?

Although she deliberately concealed her identity, even so, what Wen Ling is providing now is the most powerful benefactor Jiang Ran will ever meet in his life!

How could he possibly bear to move away, especially since he owns half of the property here!

It must have been Wen Zhi who taught him!

The mere thought of the name "Wen Zhi" ignited Wen Ling's anger. She picked up her phone expressionlessly and dialed Wen Zhi's number.

The call was answered quickly, and as if she had just woken up, Wen Zhi's lazy voice rang out, "Hey, sis, you've been calling me more often than before!"

In the past, Wen Ling would have just thought her younger sister was a bit wicked and not like her at all. But at this moment, she truly heard the meaning of "yin and yang" from Wen Zhi's mouth.

Suppressing her anger, Wen Ling's tone was icy: "Tell me, how much money did you give Jiang Ran?"

"It's not much, just pocket money~ By the way, that poor kid wouldn't actually buy you anything..."

Wen Zhi only got halfway through her sentence before she seemed to wake up midway. On the other end of the phone, she chuckled and said, "Oh, sis, who's Jiang Ran? Your husband?"

"..."

Seemingly realizing her lie had been exposed, Wen Zhi clicked her tongue, her voice softening instantly, "Okay, okay, sis, I was wrong. I just saw you were interested in that Jiang Ran kid and wanted to set you two up..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to make a phone call!"

Wen Ling's angry voice suddenly rang out, as if she had found a point of ridicule. She even added, "So much talk! I've heard that the telephone service is very developed in Southeast Asia."

Her shout immediately silenced Wen Zhi!

On the other end of the phone, Wen Zhi suddenly sat up in bed. She glanced at her phone screen to confirm that it was indeed her sister calling, then put the phone to her ear. "Hey sis, when did you learn to be two-faced?"

"Shut up!"

Wen Ling's loud shout was very clear, startling Wen Zhi so much that she instinctively moved her phone away!

This was the first time she had ever seen her sister lose her temper like this!

Wow, this human-machine sister has even learned to be two-faced?

Congratulations!

Wen Zhi's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Answer my question: how much money did you give Jiang Ran?"

"Not much! I guess it'll be gone after buying the jewelry!" Wen Zhi said lazily. "Seriously, sister, why are you suddenly concerned about this? As your younger sister, can't I even give my 'brother-in-law' some money to spend?"

As if on purpose, Wen Zhi deliberately emphasized the words "brother-in-law".

Wen Ling, who was already short-tempered, completely lost her temper!

Almost losing her temper, she yelled into the phone, "Who knows what you're up to? Let me tell you, Jiang Ran is mine now. I'll cover all his expenses, and not even you can!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi's lips almost curled up to the back of her ears.

She swore this was the first time she had ever seen her sister so agitated over a man, even going so far as to declare her complete possessiveness.

Having succeeded in her scheme, Wen Zhi suppressed a laugh: "Alright, alright, it's yours, don't worry, sister. I'm not interested in my younger brother. Besides, would two sisters like us really do something like fighting over the same man?"

Before Wen Ling could react, Wen Zhi hung up the phone!

She had only proposed the plan to Jiang Ran yesterday, and only one day had passed, yet her sister was already acting like she was going crazy and even called to warn her.

So her sister really does like that guy!

Staring at her phone, Wen Zhi raised her eyebrows and moved her fingertip to the contact information for "Mother".

No, she had to call Ms. Zhou right away to report this good news.

Her sister, that blockhead, has finally blossomed!

The sudden "beep beep beep" sound from the other end of the phone caught Wen Ling off guard, and she abruptly threw the phone onto the table!

What nonsense is Wen Zhi spouting about stealing men?!

Wen Ling felt her face burning. She bit her lip, knowing that after this phone call, Wen Zhi would no longer go to see Jiang Ran in private.

Wen Ling's gaze fell on the jewelry box that Jiang Ran had given her yesterday.

The earrings, a deep green jadeite, lay in the box. Although she didn't particularly like jewelry, she could tell at a glance that they were made of high-quality, translucent icy jadeite.

Jiang Ran's meager funds were absolutely insufficient to purchase such high-end jewelry; he likely used all the money Wen Zhi gave him to buy this.

So, aside from the 20 yuan dowry she didn't want, Jiang Ran probably doesn't have much else on her now.

He probably couldn't even afford to live in a house that would cost him that much money.

Thinking of this, Wen Ling's fluctuating heart finally settled down a little.

"Knock knock knock".

Three knocks sounded at the door, and Wen Ling came to her senses, responding with a "Come in."

As the office door opened, Xia Yunxi pushed a small cart in.

As usual, Xia Yunxi lowered her head and walked straight to Wen Ling's desk, placing the plates on it without saying a word.

Normally, they wouldn't communicate at this time.

Xia Yunxi was still thinking about her appointment with Jiang Ran that evening, but the next second, Wen Ling's voice suddenly rang out!

Where is Jiang Ran?

"Uh... huh?"

Xia Yunxi was stunned, and her hand holding the plate froze in mid-air.

Wen Ling frowned slightly, suddenly remembering that Xia Yunxi didn't seem to know who Jiang Ran was.

She said calmly, "I mean, is the other person in this villa downstairs?"

"Um."

Xia Yunxi realized what was happening and quickly nodded, saying, "He...he's downstairs."

Her voice faltered, and she found it difficult to address him as "Mr. Jiang."

Wen Ling said "Oh" and then fell silent.

It wasn't until Xia Yunxi had finished setting out the food and was about to leave that Wen Ling, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

As if testing the waters, Wen Ling asked, "What was his condition when he came down the stairs?"
