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

The second floor.

Wen Ling went straight back to her bedroom.

She was annoyed, annoyed by the situation getting out of control. Whether it was Jiang Ran and Wen Zhi's joint probing last time, or Jiang Ran's sudden departure this time, everything had slipped out of her initial control.

She took out her phone, feeling a little annoyed, and saw that her last chat with Jiang Ran was just a few days ago.

When they first met, Jiang Ran was very proactive, like a puppy. He would cook for her and serve her food, waiting for her to come downstairs to eat together. Also, the last time she had a fever, he stayed by her side and took care of her all night until dawn.

When did things start to get out of control?

Wen Ling suddenly remembered the question Jiang Ran had asked her on those occasions.

If you like each other, then let's have a good talk.

Every time Wen Ling recalls Jiang Ran's expectant and smiling eyes when he said those words, she feels annoyed.

What makes him so confident that she must have fallen for him?

She never allowed her plans to be disrupted, so she ruthlessly rejected them time and time again.

Until Wen Zhi appeared, joined forces with Jiang Ran, and once again confessed his feelings to her face to face.

Wen Ling felt that was a provocation.

The provocation came from Jiang Ran and Wen Zhi, who were partners.

That's why she got so angry that she used others to retaliate.

In Wen Ling's understanding, running a family and managing a company are the same. When dealing with a rival company that provokes her, she will seek out someone who is equally hostile to that company to join forces.

Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and besides, she never intended for Jiang Ran to move out.

His move was so unexpected...

"bite--"

Lost in thought, Wen Ling's phone suddenly vibrated. She snapped out of her daze and instinctively swiped to answer.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Manru's voice suddenly rang out, "Nannan, have you been busy lately? Find some time to bring your husband home for dinner!"

As if watching amusement, another "Nannan" came out.

Wen Ling frowned sharply: "Ms. Zhou, I don't want to repeat myself. I've already said I don't like that form of address!"

"Oh dear, you silly child!"

Zhou Manru retorted, "I've already spoken with your grandfather and the others. You set a time, then bring the child over so we can meet him!"

As if afraid that Wen Ling would refuse, Zhou Manru hung up the phone immediately.

Hearing the dial tone from the other end of the phone, Wen Ling felt only agitated!

Jiang Ran moved out quietly without even saying goodbye. Was she supposed to call him and ask him to come meet her parents?!

She gripped her phone tightly, moving her thumb to the calendar app.

She has two days left until her recorded period, and she can get tested a week later.

Wen Ling fell into deep thought.

If she doesn't get pregnant this time, it means Jiang Ran will need to come again next month. Her mother is already urging her, and her grandfather and the others know about it. The matter of seeing the family can't be postponed until next month.

If she successfully becomes pregnant this time, the contract will indeed be fulfilled, and it will be time for her to divorce Jiang Ran. But, divorce...

Wen Ling frowned, swiped her fingers across her phone screen a few times, and sent a message to Zhou Manru: [I will be going back with Jiang Ran in 9 days.]

......

The next morning.

Jiang Ran woke up to the sound of the phone ringing.

Still half asleep, he answered the phone, and Huang Xiao's excited voice rang out from the other end!

"Jiang Ran! Have you checked your phone?! That video we posted yesterday has gone viral!"

Jiang Ran hummed in response and slowly woke up.

On the other end of the phone, Huang Xiao's voice suddenly became louder, "Brother, why are you still sleeping! Our video from yesterday has already surpassed 30 million views, and it's got over 100,000 likes!"

"What?!"

Jiang Ran exclaimed in surprise and sat up abruptly in bed!

He quickly opened his Douyin account, and the notification message "99+" instantly filled his eyes!

"Holy shit!"

"Dude, you can really sleep! Get up! I've been so excited I haven't slept all night. Let's get back to setting up the stall, I'll edit the video!"

Huang Xiao's voice was unusually excited, as if he had jumped up.

Jiang Ran glanced at the time; it was 7 a.m.

Going to buy groceries and cook two big pots of rice during this time period seems like it's still possible to make it before 11:30!

"Okay, I'll get up now. Grab the camera, and I'll start cooking!"

Jiang Ran agreed, hung up the phone, jumped out of bed, and rushed downstairs to the market without even washing her face.

Jiang Ran arrived near the construction site at 11:30 a.m.

Huang Xiao was already waiting on the roadside.

To Jiang Ran's shock, the number of people who came to buy food today was more than double that of the day before yesterday!

Among them are people who work outside of construction sites.

Some came after seeing the video, some were passersby, and some were residents from the neighboring building.

There are actually more people than the workers queuing here!

Looking at the long queue, Jiang Ran frowned repeatedly and asked Huang Xiao, "Why are there so many people?"

Leaning close to Jiang Ran's ear, Huang Xiao whispered, "Bro, you priced it at 10 yuan a serving and there's so much meat. If I weren't recording a video, I'd want to buy one too..."

At the front of the line, an older man in overalls complained, "Young man, come earlier next time! We've all been waiting for ages!"

"Yeah, yeah, come at 11 next time. You took the day off yesterday without even saying anything..."

"Could you create a group chat? Otherwise, we'll just keep waiting, and it never happens!"

Among the crowd, several workers who frequently bought meals here started complaining all at once!

Huang Xiao was still a child and had never seen such a scene before. He just stood to the side holding his camera and smiled awkwardly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Jiang Ran reacted quickly. As he opened the two buckets, he said to everyone, "I'm so sorry about yesterday, I got up a little late. So, today's meals will all be 9 yuan each, with priority given to the workers!"

He shouted and then whispered in Huang Xiao's ear, "Go to the convenience store over there and buy two cases of jasmine tea."

"it is good."

Huang Xiao nodded repeatedly and ran off to buy it.

Jiang Ran started getting food one by one. Although there were many people, everyone was very well-mannered, and there was no rushing or cutting in line.

After Huang Xiao returned, Jiang Ran gave each worker an extra bottle of tea beverage, in addition to the usual one bottle per person.

After finishing her work today, Jiang Ran packed her things and returned to her apartment.

He had just stopped to rest when he received a phone call from his mother, Lin Sufang!

The moment the call connected, when Jiang Ran heard Wen Ling hand her cousin a check for 800,000 yuan, which had already been given to her aunt, she was so shocked she almost threw her phone away—
