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

It was already 10 p.m. when I successfully picked up Chen Jingyu.

From the moment she boarded the bus, Chen Jingyu sat silently in the back seat, clutching her schoolbag. No matter what Jiang Ran asked, she kept her head down, looking dejected, and remained silent.

At 10:50, Jiang Ran finally drove the car into the garage and parked it, then opened the car door.

"Get out of the car. If you don't want to talk, that's fine. It's getting late, tonight..."

Upon arriving at the living room on the first floor, Jiang Ran's gaze swept around the room before finally landing on her bedroom door. "You can stay in my room. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

He pointed and added, "There's a toilet in the bedroom, and the disposable toiletries are in the drawer under the sink."

Seemingly in a real hurry, Chen Jingyu didn't respond, but rushed towards the bedroom in the direction Jiang Ran was pointing.

Jiang Ran sighed and looked down at the sofa in the living room.

It looks like he'll have to make do on the sofa for the night.

He sat down on the sofa, about to pick up the remote to turn off the headlights, but the next second, he heard the sound of the elevator going down in the elevator lobby.

As the mechanical female voice announced "Elevator doors open," Jiang Ran subconsciously looked up and saw Wen Ling still wearing the same tailored suit she wore during the day, walking out with an icy expression.

Jiang Ran didn't think Wen Ling had come to see him.

Having experienced what happened during the day, and what had just occurred with Xia Yunxi, he was in a state of confusion and just wanted to be alone.

Therefore, Jiang Ran only glanced at her before looking down and taking out his phone.

Having suppressed her emotions for half a day and tried to convince herself countless times, she finally couldn't resist glancing at the surveillance footage. She saw Jiang Ran bring a girl into the living room and even let her into his bedroom. Wen Ling, who had come looking for him in a fit of rage, was completely ignored by him.

Wen Ling felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger!

Suppressing her temper, she sat down on the sofa next to Jiang Ran and blurted out sharply, "Did I give you permission to bring other women to stay here?"

The sudden, sharp rebuke echoed through the already quiet living room late at night!

Jiang Ran suddenly looked up and met Wen Ling's angry face.

He didn't answer, but instead asked, "Isn't this our wedding room?"

Wen Ling was already furious and retorted, "You still know that?!"

"Yes, of course I know!"

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, but this time she didn't go along with her. Instead, she asked again, "Besides, I also know that we agreed not to interfere in each other's lives after marriage, so who I bring over is none of your business?"

His series of questions left Wen Ling speechless!

He stopped calling her "sister" as before and instead openly refuted her, making his own righteous arguments!

Yes, what does it matter to her who Jiang Ran brings?

Didn't she already tell Jiang Ran that their relationship was only contractual?!

Wen Ling's anger, which she had been holding in for most of the day, was completely extinguished!

She stared blankly at Jiang Ran's self-righteous face, and for the first time, she lost the confidence to refute him.

But the thought that he'd brought a girl over, especially letting her stay in his bedroom, made him wonder what would happen next....

"That won't do! We're still married. Even if I don't interfere in your personal life, I won't allow you to have an affair!"

Without even thinking about the details, the thought that popped into her mind ignited Wen Ling's anger!

Jiang Ran was stunned upon hearing this: "Huh?"

"I did bring another man over today, but I only talked to him, there was no physical contact whatsoever. We agreed to do this after the divorce! I will never allow anything immoral to happen, and I absolutely will not condone your extramarital affair!"

As if she had finally found the point of logic, Wen Ling's emotions gradually calmed down, and her words became an irrefutable command!

These words completely stunned Jiang Ran.

No way, what the hell? He cheated on his wife?!

Although Xia Yunxi confessed her feelings to him today, he thought that even if he were to have intimate contact with Xia Yunxi, it would be after the divorce. When it comes to feelings, no matter what, he should be responsible to the other person, right?

He cheated on me?!

"Miss Wen, you've misunderstood."

Jiang Ran scoffed, saying nonchalantly, "The one who went into my bedroom is my cousin! Besides, you've been around me for a while now, haven't you? Don't you even know what kind of person I am?"

That's so lame!

He always thought that Wen Ling was older than him, but successful, mature and steady. Moreover, he had investigated a lot of information about him behind his back, so he couldn't possibly not see through his character.

But to my surprise, she was no different from the other girls.

The filter of her past was shattered, and when Jiang Ran saw her in her neat suit again, she was no longer nervous at all.

Hearing Jiang Ran's words, Wen Ling was stunned once again!

She had just heard a car horn downstairs when she hurriedly checked the security camera footage. As soon as she saw a girl behind Jiang Ran in the footage, she couldn't hold back anymore and rushed downstairs in a panic.

As for who the girl was, she really didn't see her clearly.

Wen Ling frowned: "Your cousin?"

Jiang Ran's lips twitched, and she replied, "Yes! Didn't you investigate my background? My cousin from my aunt's side, Chen Jingyu."

"..."

It seems she was overthinking it.

Wen Ling was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did you do when you went out last night? Why did you come back so late?"

"This doesn't seem to be your business, Miss Wen."

Jiang Ran shrugged indifferently, as if retaliating or stating a fact: "Didn't we make it very clear during the day? I'll find a place to move out soon, and after that, you can take a pregnancy test this month. If you're pregnant, we'll get a divorce."

Compared to Wen Ling, Jiang Ran felt that he was even more eager to get pregnant than Wen Ling was.

Jiang Ran doesn't deny that this is human nature; once a second option is available, the first one becomes insignificant.

He also wanted to end this abnormal relationship as soon as possible and start his own life.

His tone was indifferent, just like his expression, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Wen Ling was very unhappy. When did things become Jiang Ran's doing?

She won't allow it!

"What's the rush? There's still a week and a half before you can test, and besides, it's not even certain if you're pregnant!"

Wen Ling's tone was icy as she firmly stated, "You don't need to rush to move out. Let's discuss this after everything is finalized!"

She felt she had already given Jiang Ran a lot of face.

However, Jiang Ran found these words to be very arrogant, especially the condescending tone, which made him very unhappy!

"Whether I move or not is my business. I'm only making sure I complete the contract on time. The rest is none of your concern, Ms. Wen!"
