The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 207: Clear grudges

Xiao Yunsi covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth and bent down to search for Lin Ran.

He searched for a long time without finding anyone, and narrowed his eyes impatiently. Just as he was about to look again, he caught sight of the woman lying on the ground.

"Lin Ran?"

Xiao Yunsi squatted down and called out softly. Seeing that she didn't react at all, he clicked his tongue and picked her up.

After receiving the alarm, the firefighters rushed over and saw Huang Xiaolu standing at the doorway, so they quickly told her to step back.

But Xiaolu refused to leave no matter what the firefighters said, and she only replied with one sentence.

"My sister is still inside, I'm not leaving."

"Waaaah, it's all my fault. If I hadn't bought the clothes, this wouldn't have happened."

Huang Xiaolu looks very young, and when she started crying, the firefighters looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, you can stay here, but you can't move forward."

Since the deer's current position was not considered dangerous, the firefighters did not continue arguing with her and prepared their tools to rush into the fire.

After all, according to her, there were still people inside, and they had to rescue them before they could put out the fire.

Just as the group was about to rush in, a blurry figure emerged from the fire.

When the mass stopped, a few people could see clearly that two people had emerged.

Xiao Lu spotted Lin Ran unconscious in Xiao Yunsi's arms at a glance, and tears fell like beads.

"Waaah, sister, what's wrong? Sister, wake up!"

Xiao Yunsi frowned upon hearing the crying, but remembering his plan, he held back.

"Where's the doctor? Quickly take the two injured people to get treatment."

Lin Ran was carried away on a stretcher, along with Xiao Lu and Xiao Yunsi.

Even though they knew there was hardly anyone left in the house, the firefighters still went inside without hesitation.

The sea of ​​fire engulfed them, leaving only a silhouette.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong and the fire was extinguished without incident.

"Doctor, when will my sister wake up?"

In the ward, Xiao Lu looked at Lin Ran, who was still unconscious, and cried uncontrollably.

"Alright, little sister, stop crying."

"Your sister just choked and has a few minor abrasions, but it's nothing serious, so don't worry."

"Waaaa, really?"

Xiao Lu glanced at Lin Ran's pale face, her eyes full of questioning.

"Of course, we are doctors."

If anyone else had asked this question, they probably would have been unhappy, but Xiaolu looked like a child, so they just couldn't get angry.

The little deer stayed by Lin Ran's side every step of the way, and was unwilling to leave her side for even a moment except when she went to the toilet.

Xiao Jingchen learned of this news late at night.

He was just about to call Lin Ran to ask her something when he received a call from Xiao Yunsi.

Although he was annoyed, he still pressed the call button.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Jingchen's attitude remained as distant as ever, but this time Xiao Yunsi didn't care at all. He deliberately paused for a long time before speaking.

"Lin Ran hasn't gone back yet, has she?"

Xiao Jingchen's heart tightened, and he gripped his phone even tighter.

"What did you do to her?"

"What did I do to her? Xiao Jingchen, I saved her life. You should be more polite to me."

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Jingchen narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably flustered, but Xiao Yunsi remained silent. Before he could ask any further questions, the call was abruptly ended.

His pupils contracted, and he immediately began investigating Lin Ran's whereabouts. When he saw that her last stop was the hospital, he drove there himself.

The car was going incredibly fast.

Even when Lin Ran was asleep, her brows were tightly furrowed in the ward.

She felt as if she had returned to that sea of ​​fire, surrounded by nothing but red flames.

"Help……"

Lin Ran murmured, a tear welling up in the corner of her eye.

Xiao Jingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart and tightly grasped Lin Ran's hand, trying to wake her from her nightmare.

"Lin Ran? Wake up, I'm here, I'm coming."

Perhaps Xiao Jingchen's words had an effect, because Lin Ran actually stopped trembling, and her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao. My sister got injured because she accompanied me shopping."

Huang Xiaolu didn't know Lin Ran's identity, but seeing how close Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ran were, she could guess some of it.

She bit her lip hard, trying her best not to cry out loud.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes turned cold, and he turned to look at her. He was about to speak when he met her eyes, which were full of tears. The words seemed to get stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

After a long pause, he seemed to sigh.

"You can leave now, it's not your fault."

Xiao Jingchen finally understood why Lin Ran wanted to play with her.

Those eyes are so similar, just like Lin Ran's gaze when she first married into the family, only clearer.

Xiao Jingchen was in a daze, but he didn't notice the surprise on Huang Xiaolu's face.

When he came to his senses and saw that Huang Xiaolu was still standing there, he spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Still not leaving?"

"I...I'll leave now."

Huang Xiaolu blushed, blinked, and turned to run away.

The ward finally quieted down, but before Xiao Jingchen could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard another knock on the door.

The person standing outside this time was Xiao Yunsi.

Xiao Jingchen narrowed his eyes in displeasure, instinctively wanting to send the person away.

But remembering that Lin Ran had been saved by him, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and walk out.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yunsi smiled and swung his bandaged arm.

"I saved her life, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"

Xiao Jingchen's expression turned cold as he looked directly at Xiao Yunsi and parted his thin lips slightly.

"Are you threatening me?"

Xiao Yunsi clearly saw the fierceness in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, but still smiled indifferently.

"It's not really a threat, it's just an attempt to demand some compensation."

"Or is it that Lin Ran is nothing in President Xiao's eyes? If that's the case, then of course I don't want any reward."

Xiao Yunsi spoke lightly, as if he really only wanted some reward.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Jingchen finally spoke.

"That piece of land in the west of the city is now in your care."

As soon as Xiao Jingchen finished speaking, Xiao Yunsi's smile faded considerably, and he stared straight at him.

"Mr. Xiao, please don't be joking."

That piece of land in the west of the city was a lucrative opportunity. Although he wanted to compensate, he never expected Xiao Jingchen to be so generous.

"I have always been clear about my likes and dislikes."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at him indifferently, too lazy to explain anything further, and turned back to the ward.

Xiao Yunsi lowered his eyes and smiled, a hint of understanding in his eyes.

His purpose in taking action this time was simply to gain Lin Ran's trust; everything else was secondary.

The land in the west of the city... is truly an unexpected delight.
