The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 112 Take some time off

Because of Jiang Jun's arrival, the Xiao family got an extra day off, turning their original single day off into a double day off this week.

This is fantastic news for workers who have worked hard all week.

Lin Ran had just gone through so much in the past few days. Although she seemed fine on the surface, the weariness in her heart was impossible to erase.

She can finally relax properly on a weekend.

As soon as she stepped out of the company gate, a shadow blocked Lin Ran's way. She subconsciously took a few steps back, and only relaxed when she looked up and saw that familiar face.

"It is you."

Xiao Yunsi stared at her intently for a long time, only looking away when she was about to ask a question.

"The weekend is so boring, how about we go for a spring outing?"

"Spring outing? Are you a child?"

Lin Ran's original plan was to stay home and sleep for two days, but after hearing Xiao Yunsi's suggestion, she wavered.

Perhaps... going out for a walk to clear your head is a good option?

"It wasn't very big to begin with."

Xiao Yunsi smiled, his eyes crinkling, his tone full of unrestrained arrogance.

"Then it's decided. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Hey, wait!"

Looking at Xiao Yunsi's retreating figure, Lin Ran's face was full of helplessness.

If Xiao Yunsi comes to the villa to pick her up, wouldn't Xiao Jingchen see her?

Thinking of that man's gloomy gaze, Lin Ran couldn't help but shiver, even in the sunlight.

Soon, Lin Ran realized that her worries were unnecessary.

Because Xiao Jingchen never came back!

Realizing this, Lin Ran's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she slept soundly. The next morning, she got up early and tidied herself up simply.

Because Xiao Yunsi said she was going for a spring outing, she specially found a pair of flat shoes to wear, tied her hair into a ponytail, and her sportswear made her look even more alluring.

From a distance, he looks like a college student.

Even Xiao Yunsi blinked in surprise when he saw Lin Ran like this.

"You look quite suitable for a spring outing."

Xiao Yunsi was also dressed in sportswear today, and he and Lin Ran looked quite well-matched.

"Alright, we need to hurry up and get going, otherwise it will be lunchtime when we get there."

Xiao Yunsi urged her on, and even considerately opened the car door for Lin Ran.

Today, Xiao Yunsi drove out in a bright red sports car, easily attracting a lot of attention on the road. Seeing his satisfied look, Lin Ran couldn't help but complain.

"I never expected you to like such a hot color."

"You really are different from me."

There are many things you don't know, and you can learn more about me.

Lin Ran choked, realizing the topic was becoming increasingly ambiguous, so she shut her mouth and leaned back in her chair, pretending to doze off.

The car slowed down, and Xiao Yunsi looked at the airport not far away, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He turned his head slightly and saw Lin Ran with her eyes closed, quietly rolling open the window on the other side, while the car slowed down considerably.

That speed should be fast enough for that man to see clearly.

Xiao Yunsi slightly curled his lips, revealing a wicked smile that was completely out of character.

Lin Ran assumed they were almost at their destination and leaned back comfortably in her seat without reacting at all.

At the airport entrance, Xiao Jingchen stared intently at the passing sports car, his grip on his phone tightening, his eyes blazing with anger, barely able to control his emotions.

How come that woman is hanging out with Xiao Yunsi again? And the two of them are so intimate.

"Brother Jingchen, what's wrong?"

A clear voice interrupted Xiao Jingchen's thoughts. He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, there was no sign of anything amiss.

"The car is right outside, let's go."

Besides Zhou Qing, Xiao Jingchen was accompanied by an elderly man and a young woman.

The woman had a bold and assertive look, with her curly hair casually draped over her shoulders, making her extremely charming. The old man beside her seemed to be in good spirits, looking at her with doting eyes.

This is Jiang Jun, one of the shareholders of the Xiao family, and his granddaughter Jiang Rao.

Jiang Rao looked up at Xiao Jingchen's profile with a fascination.

She had just clearly sensed the change in Xiao Jingchen's emotions. Who could have made Brother Jingchen so angry? Could it be that woman?

The thought that Xiao Jingchen had gotten married after only a few years of her absence made Jiang Rao so jealous that her fair face turned slightly red.

"Brother Jingchen, can I come to your house to play?"

Jiang Rao's voice is usually cold, but at this moment she spoke in a soft, coquettish tone, which sounded very strange.

Xiao Jingchen paused, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"I've already had the villa prepared. You can go back and take a look first. There will be other opportunities to visit later."

Although Xiao Jingchen's attitude was gentle, Jiang Rao knew that once he said those words, there was no room for change.

Even though she was very dissatisfied, she could only smile and agree.

"I'll listen to whatever Brother Jingchen says."

Xiao Jingchen escorted the two home and chatted for a long time before returning home himself.

Just as he had expected, Lin Ran had not returned.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were cold and he couldn't bear to look at a single word of the document in his hand until he heard the sound of the door opening outside, which brought him back to his senses.

Lin Ran entered with a carefree smile on her face, her hair, damp with sweat, clinging to her cheeks.

Upon seeing Xiao Jingchen sitting in front of her, Lin Ran's expression changed, and the smile on her lips was forcibly suppressed.

"have a good time?"

Xiao Jingchen's voice was calm, with a hint of questioning.

"During my break time, Mr. Xiao, you don't need to worry about me, do you?"

Lin Ran retorted without any politeness.

Being in the same room with Xiao Jingchen made her feel suffocated. Lin Ran turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the bed.

The next second, Xiao Jingchen's hot breath hit his neck.

"What? You're all smiles and laughter with Xiao Yunsi, but you feel awkward around me?"

"Lin Ran, don't forget who you are."

Xiao Jingchen pinched Lin Ran's chin and said, word by word, a hint of jealousy hidden in his eyes that he himself did not realize.

"Xiao Yunsi and I are just friends, nothing more."

Lin Ran stubbornly met his gaze, tears glistening in her eyes, which softened Xiao Jingchen's heart, and he released her hand.

"friend?"

"I can be friends with anyone, but not him."

"Don't let me find you with him again."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at Lin Ran with a calm expression before turning and leaving the room.

With a bang, the door was closed.
