The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 130 Our relationship is very good

Lin Ran stared at Xiao Jingchen's chat box, typing and deleting a line of text repeatedly, but never sending it.

She wondered if Xiao Jingchen would misunderstand her if she told him at this time that she was going back tomorrow.

Although the private jet transfer was very comfortable, Lin Ran didn't want to trouble others anymore.

After standing there hesitating for a while, Lin Ran picked up her phone, took a picture of the starry sky, and sent it over.

"The stars in the sky are very bright."

Looking at the time, it was already past midnight. Lin Ran pursed her lips, got up, and prepared to go back to her room.

It's so late, Xiao Jingchen must already be asleep, how could he possibly reply to messages?

buzz-

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran's phone rang.

It really was Xiao Jingchen's reply.

"Ah."

Even though it was just one word, Lin Ran seemed to hear Xiao Jingchen's magnetic voice. Her face flushed red, and her heart began to pound.

"Get some rest! Thank you for taking me home today."

Lin Ran hesitated for a long time before typing those words, then turned off her phone and fled back to her room.

The next morning, the doctor came to examine Lin Qing as usual.

"I'm in good shape. It's definitely better to have my daughter by my side."

Hearing someone praise her daughter, Lin Qing smiled slightly, looking proud.

"Yes, our Ranran is the most obedient girl ever."

"I don't have to worry about anything, he's really successful."

Seeing Lin Qing's proud expression, Lin Ran felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed.

After having a simple breakfast together, Lin Ran prepared to leave.

Actually, she wanted to stay a little longer, but when this topic came up, Lin Qing got so angry that she had no choice but to leave as her mother had requested.

Unbeknownst to Lin Ran, the moment she stepped into the airport, the news of her return had already been delivered to Jiang Rao.

The plane landed, and Lin Ran left with the crowd.

Just as I stepped out of the hall, someone in the crowd shouted something.

"Lin Ran is here!"

Immediately, a group of people surrounded her, holding microphones as high as they could to Lin Ran's face.

"Ms. Lin, may I ask how you and Mr. Xiao met?"

"Ms. Lin, are you aware of the story between Ms. Jiang and Mr. Xiao? Don't you mind their past?"

"Ms. Lin, may I ask why you and Mr. Xiao got married?"

One question after another came crashing in, and they were all quite tricky.

Lin Ran slightly curved her lips into a smile, glanced around, and then spoke.

"My husband and Ms. Jiang do have a relationship."

As soon as she finished speaking, even the surrounding reporters were stunned, looking at her in disbelief, until Lin Ran continued with her next sentence.

“My husband is the president of Xiao’s Group, and Miss Jiang is an employee of Xiao’s Group. They are in a superior-subordinate relationship.”

"As for your speculations... that's nonsense."

Lin Ran's eyes turned cold as she glanced at the reporters in front of her.

“What you just said is slander, and the Xiao family’s legal team is not to be trifled with.”

"There's one last question..."

Lin Ran blushed slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Jingchen and I got married because of love, there was no other reason."

After saying this, Lin Ran walked through the crowd, and the group of people seemed to be frozen in place, with not a single one chasing after her.

As soon as she stepped out of the station, Lin Ran stared blankly at the familiar car parked in front of her for a few seconds until Xiao Jingchen rolled down the window.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car, honey."

Upon hearing the last two words, Lin Ran's pupils dilated, and her face turned red at a visible speed.

The reporters who had come to their senses had already caught up. When they saw Xiao Jingchen appear, a hint of fear flashed across their faces, but they couldn't help pressing the shutter button.

"Aren't you coming up? They're coming."

Lin Ran snapped out of her daze, opened the car door, and got in.

After fastening her seatbelt, the car sped off, leaving the interior silent. Lin Ran turned her head slightly to look at Xiao Jingchen beside her, the two words she had just heard echoing in her ears.

She even felt that the temperature inside the car was too high, so she had to roll down the window to leave a small gap through which the cold air could blow in.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen didn't say a word the whole way until the two returned to the villa and sat down in the room.

"I didn't know you trusted me so much."

A slightly hoarse voice rang out in the room. Lin Ran stiffened, then turned her head away with an awkward smile.

"You knew everything I said?"

Xiao Jingchen did not answer, but Lin Ran could tell from his eyes that he did know quite a bit.

For a moment, his face felt like it was burning.

"Don't worry about it, I only said those things to appease the reporters."

"Don't worry, I know my place and what I'm supposed to do."

Lin Ran wanted to say that she remembered the agreement, but for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to say those two words.

To appease the reporters...

Xiao Jingchen lowered his eyes slightly, his expression dark and unreadable.

The image of Lin Ran looking up at him and calling him "husband" kept replaying in his mind.

How is your aunt?

The room was quiet for a while. Just as Lin Ran was wondering if she had said something wrong, Xiao Jingchen suddenly spoke up.

"She's in much better condition, and if she takes good care of herself, she should be fine."

Lin Ran answered truthfully, but a question quietly settled in her mind.

Her mother had always been in good health, but her illness seemed to strike suddenly. After the serious illness, Ye Minghua divorced and brought Wang Mei into the family.

Isn't all of this... too much of a coincidence?

Seeing Lin Ran deep in thought, Xiao Jingchen assumed she was worried about Lin Qing's health and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I found a doctor abroad who is very knowledgeable in this area and will arrive in a few days."

"Auntie will definitely recover."

Xiao Jingchen's voice was like a spring breeze, soothing Lin Ran's panic. She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes slightly red.

"Thank you, really."

If it weren't for Xiao Jingchen, my mother might still be in the hospital without treatment, and finding a doctor from abroad would be even more impossible.

The atmosphere inside the villa was warm and cozy, but Jiang Rao was furious and going crazy on the other side.

She had planted people in the crowd outside the airport, and they exposed everything through a live broadcast.

This includes the fact that Xiao Jingchen personally picked up Lin Ran and took her away.

Many netizens who were just there to watch the spectacle were charmed by this scene. Instead of criticizing Lin Ran as Jiang Rao had suggested, they were drawn to her.

"You know what, she's actually quite good-looking. No wonder Mr. Xiao likes her; I like her too."

"Watch your mouth upstairs, Mr. Xiao will be on the battlefield in five seconds."

"Stop talking! Mr. Xiao and his wife are a match made in heaven! As for that Miss Jiang, she's definitely just here to create a scandal!"

There were many similar comments. Jiang Rao angrily threw her phone to the ground, her face full of hatred.
