The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 302 Ice Cream Causes Trouble

Lin Ran hurriedly walked out, completely unaware that there was a little tail following her.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she froze in place.

That person in the white shirt looks a bit like... Xiao Jingchen?

Lin Ran suddenly felt that she must be dreaming, otherwise how could she see Xiao Jingchen standing there?

She hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked in another direction.

Xiao Jingchen's smile froze.

He hadn't missed the surprise on Lin Ran's face.

Surely you wouldn't disown someone just because of their clothes?

Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath and spoke directly.

"Lin Ran, over here."

Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Ran could no longer deceive herself and could only take a deep breath and turn around.

After staring at that figure for a long time, he finally accepted it.

That person really was Xiao Jingchen.

Upstairs, Su Yi watched Lin Ran leave in a hurry, hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message to Fu Sinian.

After all, Xiao Lu was able to join this group thanks to Fu Sinian's help. As good brothers, they must help each other.

A few minutes after the message was sent, Xiao Jingchen also hurriedly came downstairs.

He never expected to see such a scene as soon as he went downstairs.

Xiao Jingchen opened the car door with a gentle expression, and Lin Ran did not refuse and got into the car directly.

His heart felt as if it had been stomped on, and the pain instantly spread throughout his body.

So, is Lin Ran's restlessness today all because of him?

Fu Sinian couldn't quite describe his feelings. He stared in that direction for a long time, as if torturing himself, until the car roared away, leaving only a blurry silhouette.

Unbeknownst to him, someone else was secretly watching this scene from the other side.

More than his sadness and grief, Li Yinyin felt jealousy.

She recognized Xiao Jingchen at a glance, the president of Xiao's Group, the man everyone in Kyoto wanted to curry favor with.

What makes Lin Ran so special?!

She already has Fu Sinian's affections, so why won't she settle down? Why does she still try to seduce Xiao Jingchen?

She gripped her sleeve tightly until the fabric was completely wrinkled before she stopped.

She admitted that she had misunderstood Lin Ran before, but now, surely it's not a misunderstanding anymore?

This woman is two-timing!

Li Yinyin spat in the direction the car had left, and just as she was about to go back, she caught a glimpse of Fu Sinian standing in the corner.

She was all too familiar with the pained expression on his face.

Li Yinyin covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, but her eyes were fixed on the room until Fu Sinian left before she came out.

President Fu must have been deceived by that woman.

Li Yinyin's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently in the direction he had left. Suddenly remembering something, she took out her phone and made a call.

On the other side, Lin Ran sat in Xiao Jingchen's car, looking at the person driving in front with a complicated expression.

"Mommy, Mommy, Uncle is very nice to me. He took me out to play."

Looking at the little girl in her arms who had become so fond of Xiao Jingchen after just one outing, Lin Ran sighed helplessly.

Is this what they call a mysterious blood relationship?

Seemingly sensing Lin Ran's coldness, Nian Nian pursed her lips, fell silent, and nestled in Lin Ran's arms without saying another word.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly turned cold.

Xiao Jingchen's attention was focused on the road ahead, and he didn't have time to go over and strike up a conversation, so he could only let the strange atmosphere continue.

Fortunately, they arrived home quickly. Lin Ran couldn't wait to get out of the car with Niannian and stand at the door, showing no intention of opening it.

"Thank you for taking Niannian out today, but we have some things to do later, so we won't invite Mr. Xiao in for tea."

Hearing Lin Ran's distant tone, Xiao Jingchen was taken aback, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing in his eyes, but he did not pursue the matter further.

It's already quite remarkable that Lin Ran allowed him to take Niannian out to play for so long today.

He has to proceed step by step.

but……

Xiao Jingchen slightly curved his lips and looked directly at Lin Ran.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

"However, I think you could change how you address me. After all, we're going to be spending our lives together, and always calling me 'President Xiao' is getting a bit too formal, isn't it?"

After saying this, he ignored Lin Ran's expression and turned to leave.

Lin Ran was stunned for a long time, and her face turned quite red.

Lin Niannian looked at the departing car with curiosity, then at Lin Ran's blushing face, and spoke with concern.

"Mommy, your face is so red."

"Are you sick?"

As Lin Niannian asked, she reached out and placed her hand on her forehead to feel her body temperature.

A cool little hand suddenly pulled Lin Ran back to reality.

She nervously opened the door and placed Lin Niannian on the ground.

"Go play first, and Mommy will call you when dinner is ready, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Lin Ran seemed alright, Niannian stopped worrying and went upstairs.

She still hasn't played with many of the toys that Xiao Jingchen and Fu Sinian gave her before.

Downstairs, Lin Ran first went to the bathroom to wash her face, and only came out to start cooking after her face had cooled down.

She didn't prepare a lavish meal this time. Although Niannian hadn't told her anything, she could roughly guess that Xiao Jingchen must have taken her to eat something.

Children are prone to indigestion if they eat too much at night, so Lin Ran hesitated for a moment and then steamed a bowl of egg custard.

The fragrant and soft steamed egg custard was ready. Lin Ran added a few drops of soy sauce and sesame oil, placed a small spoon on it, and carried it out before calling for people.

"Niannian, come down for dinner."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound from upstairs.

Lin Ran frowned and repeated it again in a louder voice.

But there was still no response from upstairs.

This is the first time there has been no response for a year.

Lin Ran panicked and quickly went upstairs.

Nian Nian's room door was not closed, and Lin Ran even saw the toys on the floor, causing her to quicken her pace considerably.

She never fails to respond to her every year.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the room, she saw the person lying on the ground.

Xiao Niannian lay motionless on the ground, her face pale and covered in cold sweat.

Her bright red lips were bitten tightly, and her furrowed brows showed just how much pain she was enduring.

Lin Ran's heart tightened, and he quickly picked her up.

Only then did they realize that she was burning up, her small body curled up tightly.

"Mommy, my tummy hurts so much... Waaah, am I going to die?"

Feeling herself being picked up, Lin Niannian looked up with a wronged expression and whispered something.

That weak voice sounded as if she was about to faint at any moment.
