The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 102 Are you doubting me?

For several days in a row, Lin Ran did not see Xiao Jingchen again.

The only proof that the man had come back during the night was that the bed was still slightly warm when I woke up in the morning.

Lin Ran couldn't quite describe her feelings. She wanted to have a proper talk with Xiao Jingchen, but the man didn't give her that chance at all.

Looking at the afternoon tea she had carefully prepared, Lin Ran sighed softly.

"Did you do all this?"

The sudden sound from behind interrupted Lin Ran's thoughts. She looked up in surprise and saw Xiao Yunsi standing there, still somewhat dazed.

"How will you be here?"

"It's the New Year, so I always have to come and visit my grandfather."

Xiao Yunsi said with a smile, put the gift in his hand aside, and looked around curiously.

"Is Xiao Jingchen not here? Why are you all alone?"

Upon hearing that name, Lin Ran's eyes immediately dimmed, but she still managed a forced smile on her face.

"He's busy with work."

Xiao Yunsi smiled and suddenly leaned down to whisper in Lin Ran's ear.

"Perhaps he misunderstood you. You can explain the recording incident properly."

After saying this, Xiao Yunsi stood up and went upstairs without pausing for a moment.

"I'm going to see Grandpa."

Downstairs, Lin Ran pondered for a long time with a complicated expression before suddenly standing up and going upstairs.

She's going to find Xiao Jingchen and get to the bottom of this!

For the first time, Lin Ran didn't wait for Xiao Jingchen's permission and went straight in.

"Xiao Jingchen, you've been distancing yourself from me lately because you suspect I leaked the contents of the agreement, is that it?"

Lin Ran stared intently at Xiao Jingchen, and when she saw his gaze dart away and he hesitate for a moment, her heart sank slightly.

It seems Xiao Yunsi was right.

She had thought that since the two of them had gotten along well recently, Xiao Jingchen would believe her.

"Sorry to bother you, I'll be going now."

Lin Ran gave a bitter smile, ignored Xiao Jingchen's pleading gaze, and turned to leave.

Looking at her frail figure, Xiao Jingchen felt a pang of pity. His eyes flickered, but he didn't chase after her. He just sat there and watched the study door close completely.

The door between the two of them closed instantly.

The two barely spoke until they went to work.

As is customary, Xiao Jingchen was supposed to go out to inspect the work before it started. It had been arranged for Lin Ran to go with him, but given the current situation, he had to change his mind.

Ye Chuchu, who was loitering near his office, caught his eye.

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Ye Chuchu's face was full of surprise. She immediately packed some things and left the company with Xiao Jingchen.

By the time Lin Ran learned of this news, it was already late at night. Looking at the full moon outside the window, she felt a deep sense of melancholy.

She had expected this outcome, but hearing it still made her feel uncomfortable.

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? Anyway... it's just a contractual relationship."

Lin Ran huddled in the corner of the bed, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. A tear from the corner of her eye slid down her temple and disappeared into her hair.

In an office building in City H.

Xiao Jingchen stared absentmindedly at the report in his hand, looking at the same spot for a long time without turning the page.

Ye Chuchu couldn't help but speak, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Xiao, you've been looking at this report for a long time now, haven't you finished reading it yet?"

Xiao Jingchen snapped out of his daze, looked down at the signature area, his eyes narrowed, and he pulled out the paper and crumpled it into a ball.

The usually calm man now appeared somewhat flustered.

"Go and have them send another one."

Ye Chuchu lowered her head and responded, but after leaving the office, she gritted her teeth and revealed a face full of jealousy.

Although she didn't see it very clearly, she was certain that the name written on the paper was Lin Ran!

That bitch, what's so good about her that Brother Xiao would miss her!

Ye Chuchu's expression changed several times. While getting the report, she made a phone call to Wang Mei.

After talking to the two of them, Ye Chuchu felt much better and even hummed a little tune as she returned to her office.

Two days later, Xiao Jingchen completed his mission and returned to the Xiao family with Ye Chuchu.

The car was supposed to drive directly into the parking lot, but something happened at the entrance and a group of people were gathered there, blocking the entrance to the parking lot.

Xiao Jingchen frowned, about to speak, but then he heard Lin Ran's name. His expression changed immediately, and he got out of the car and walked over.

Ye Chuchu, who was left in the car, was not sad at all; instead, there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

The fun has begun.

In the secretariat, Lin Ran was focused on her work when she suddenly stopped when she saw the photos sent by her colleagues in the group chat.

The woman in the photo has a seductive look on her face, and her clothes are barely enough to cover her private parts. Most importantly, this woman looks exactly like her.

Besides this one, there are many similar photos, all featuring Lin Ran's face.

"Lin Ran, your ex-boyfriend is waiting for you downstairs. Why don't you go down and see him?"

A mocking voice rang out beside her. Lin Ran bit her lip and quickly left the office.

She had never had any previous men; if she had to name one, it would only be the man from that one night…

However, they only met once, so how could they have taken so many photos?

The first thing Lin Ran saw after going downstairs was not her so-called "ex-boyfriend," but Xiao Jingchen, who had returned from a business trip.

Lin Ran, who was originally calm, became nervous the moment she saw Xiao Jingchen. She stared blankly as the man looked through the photos one by one.

"Lin Ran, you're finally down."

Suddenly, a strange man spoke up and excitedly grabbed Lin Ran's hand.

"Who are you? Let me go!"

Lin Ran was startled, and with a strength she didn't know she had, she forcefully threw the man away, staggering back a few steps with an embarrassed expression.

"Ranran, even though we've broken up, you can't pretend you don't know me."

The man pushed up his glasses, his small eyes full of cunning. After a pause, he looked at Xiao Jingchen standing to the side.

"You're supposed to be a big shot, so how come you married a used woman who's already been with someone else?"

Lin Ran felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave upon hearing his words, her entire body stiffening. She wanted to refute him, but the photos and the unknown voice messages all proved the man's words.

not to mention……

Xiao Jingchen would never believe her.

Lin Ran lowered her head and gave a bitter smile. This was for the best; it was time for her and Xiao Jingchen to have a final, decisive decision.

"Ha, I know my wife very well."

"As for you, the company's lawyers will continue to discuss this matter with you."

A warm, large hand grasped Lin Ran's, and Xiao Jingchen domineeringly pulled her into his arms, his eyes looking down at her as he spoke in a cold voice, his tone full of protectiveness.

This action caused Lin Ran's mind to go blank for a moment.

Xiao Jingchen... believes her?
