The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 350 This snake isn't poisonous

At three in the morning, Lin Ran forced herself to wake up.

Xiao Jingchen wasn't in the room. Perhaps feeling it wasn't right, Lin Ran found him gone when she returned that evening.

Pshaw, who cares where he went?

Lin Ran hugged the blanket tightly, somewhat reluctantly, and yawned as she looked out the dark window.

I'm so sleepy, so tired, I just want to sleep.

Lin Ran blinked, her face full of sleepiness. Three minutes later, she forced herself to get out of bed, quickly washed up, and came out wearing sportswear.

She had just opened the door when she was startled by the person squatting there.

"Deer?"

Both of them were startled, especially Xiao Lu, who raised her head tremblingly.

"Ranran? You scared me to death."

Little Deer stood up and patted his chest in an exaggerated manner.

"You scared me! How long have you been squatting here?"

Lin Ran looked at the deer and saw that its legs were trembling from squatting for so long, and said helplessly.

"It won't be long. I was just afraid of disturbing your rest, so I waited a little while."

"Can we set off now?"

Seeing the little deer's impatient expression, Lin Ran silently swallowed the words she wanted to say and nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them tiptoed downstairs, since it was the middle of the night and everyone else was probably still asleep.

As soon as Lin Ran stepped down the stairs, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She must be crazy to agree to Xiaolu's request.

When they got downstairs, the two turned on their flashlights and were startled by two figures in the distance.

"what!"

"Little Deer, Sister Ran, it's me!"

One of the shadowy figures seemed somewhat aggrieved as he spoke, picking up a flashlight and shining it on his face.

Looking at that pale face illuminated by the light, Lin Ran felt her heart, which had just been at ease, rise again.

"Su Yi, put the flashlight down. It looks really scary from this angle."

"is it?"

Su Yi pouted, but obediently took the flashlight down.

"So, why are you two here?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow and asked. She remembered clearly that Xiao Lu told her that only the two of them went together.

Now it's much better; suddenly there are four.

Hearing her ask that, Xiao Lu scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Ranran, Su Yi asked me last night, and I accidentally blurted it out."

"But this is more fun with more people, so let's hurry up or we might not make it in time."

Xiao Lu's expression was evasive, clearly indicating that things weren't as she described, but since she had said so, they could only believe her.

"Then let's go."

Lin Ran adjusted the position of her backpack, and the two-person team instantly became a four-person team.

Su Yi and Fu Sinian were also very tactful, simply following behind the two of them without directly interrupting their conversation.

They hadn't gone far when the four of them were startled again by a dark figure at the entrance to the mountain road.

The one who shouted the loudest was Su Yi.

If Fu Sinian hadn't covered his mouth in time, he probably would have woken up everyone in the guesthouse.

Lin Ran pursed her lips, said nothing, and stared straight at the dark figure.

This person looks somewhat familiar...

Before Lin Ran could think it over, Xiao Jingchen turned on his own light and gave her a bright smile.

"Oh, you guys can't sleep either? What a coincidence."

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's clumsy lie, Lin Ran gritted her teeth and forced herself not to expose him.

"What are you going to do? I happen to be free, let's go together."

Seeing that Lin Ran didn't speak, Xiao Jingchen very naturally joined the group.

Now Lin Ran had no time to refuse, so she could only suppress her displeasure and stride heavily up the mountain path.

This time, however, the team of four became five.

Lin Ran glanced at the three little tails behind her, her eyes filled with melancholy. The little deer, however, was not affected at all and walked uphill with its head held high.

Of course, this only applies to the first half hour.

Xiao Lu doesn't exercise much at home, and she only made it this far today because she was pushing herself to the limit, but that's where it ends.

Her legs ached and hurt, and her eyes welled up with tears with every step she took.

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment, but still advised her to go down the mountain.

We haven't gone very far yet, so going down the mountain is relatively easy. But if we continue going uphill, it won't be so easy to get back later.

"Little Deer, how about I take a picture of the sunrise for you?"

"No, I can go up, it's just a little tiring."

Surprisingly, Xiao Lu was very determined this time.

She reached into her bag and touched the camera, then gritted her teeth and continued walking uphill, though at a much slower pace.

Seeing this, Lin Ran stopped trying to persuade her and casually picked up a sturdy wooden stick and handed it to her.

"Use this to support yourself as you walk; it will make walking easier."

"it is good."

The two supported each other as they climbed step by step toward the mountaintop, completely unaware that the three men behind them had disappeared.

As Xiao Jingchen watched Lin Ran's figure grow smaller and smaller, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he glared at the man beside him.

"Fu Sinian, let go of me."

"I should be the one saying that to you. You should let go first."

Fu Ssu-nien's voice was muffled, sounding as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Su Yi stared blankly at the two people who had somehow gotten into a fight.

"Should I go first?"

"no!"

"no!"

This time, the two men spoke in unison, paused for a few seconds, glared at each other, and grabbed each other's collars, refusing to let go.

Su Yi glanced at them, then at the deer whose back was already out of sight, and made a very bold decision.

He turned his head away, as if he hadn't heard Fu Sinian and Xiao Jingchen's voices, and ran upstairs without looking back.

The two of them paused for a moment, their gazes towards each other becoming even more unpleasant.

If he hadn't caused trouble, the two of them wouldn't have stopped.

Neither of the two men, caught in the stalemate, noticed something emerging from the bushes behind them.

By the time Fu Sinian heard the hissing sound, it was too late. He abruptly released his grip, jumped to a different position, and the snake actually bit him.

"hiss……"

Xiao Jingchen frowned, picked up a tree branch from the side, and swung it hard at the blow.

The snake was very clever; it twisted its body and escaped.

The lighting was dim, and Xiao Jingchen couldn't see what kind of snake it was. He only saw Fu Sinian's stiff face and snorted coldly, speaking with a hint of sarcasm.

"This snake is not poisonous."
