The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 227 Just a document

Under the tranquil moonlight, the entire city fell into silence, except for one building where the lights were still on, and Lin Ran was engrossed in her work in her office.

Actually, her recent tasks haven't been too heavy. After all, with Xiao Jingchen's hints, even Song Nuan didn't dare to entrust her with the company's important tasks.

All I can do each day are simple chores.

Even so, Lin Ran was still exhausted by these tasks.

For some reason, the baby in her belly has been very restless lately, and Lin Ran often feels nauseous for half a day.

This even happens sometimes during meetings.

For the first few days, she used the excuse of feeling unwell to brush it off, but as the number of times increased, those people gradually began to have doubts.

Fortunately, they had no evidence, and Xiao Yunsi would visit her from time to time, so the group of people could only keep their thoughts to themselves.

All of these problems can be solved, but there's one thing you can't slack off at when it comes to work.

She had to complete it herself, little by little.

"Is it not finished yet?"

The sudden sound behind her did not frighten Lin Ran.

In fact, Xiao Yunsi came over almost every day during this period.

Lin Ran initially resisted, but she couldn't resist Xiao Yunsi's shamelessness.

No matter what they hear, they will come back the next day.

Lin Ran knew that her words were useless, so she stopped saying them.

"It'll be over soon."

Lin Ran sighed deeply, put down the documents in her hand, and looked at the steaming food on the table.

What's today?

"It's what you said you wanted to eat a few days ago."

Lin Ran couldn't wait to open the bag, and the rich aroma made her stomach growl.

Fortunately, the two of them were familiar enough now, so Lin Ran didn't think anything of it. She opened the package and started eating with a happy expression.

Lin Ran had no idea that Xiao Yunsi had already guessed the secret she had kept hidden for so long.

"Lin Ran, I'm in trouble."

Seeing that Lin Ran had almost finished eating, Xiao Yunsi sighed with a worried expression, his usually slanted eyes now devoid of light.

Lin Ran stopped eating abruptly, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Xiao Yunsi did not answer, but sighed again.

"Say something! How can I help you if you don't speak?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Ran knew he wasn't joking, and her voice became more stern.

"Yes, I lost the document I was holding."

Xiao Yunsi seemed a little embarrassed. His face turned quite red after he said those words, and he looked somewhat awkward.

"I didn't do it on purpose. I probably lost it while packing."

"Anyway, sigh, I don't know what happened, anyway, that document is nowhere to be found."

Xiao Yunsi spread his hands innocently, looking so pitiful that Lin Ran couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh, and could only sigh helplessly.

"Losing a file can be a big deal or a small deal. What file did you lose? Is it important?"

If it's just a regular file, you can simply ask someone to make a copy. But if it's an important file, losing it is no small matter.

Lin Ran pursed her lips, already having made up her mind.

If it were just an ordinary document, Xiao Yunsi probably wouldn't have come to say these things.

Sure enough, the next second Xiao Yunsi pitifully opened his mouth.

"It's a bidding project that Xiao Jingchen gave me, and it seems to be quite important."

Lin Ran fell silent, staring at Xiao Yunsi for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh.

"Fortunately, Xiao Jing... President Xiao usually has backups. You can ask him for them."

Of course, you'll inevitably get scolded when you ask for it back, and that's to be expected.

Lin Ran silently added in her heart.

A flash of disgust crossed Xiao Yunsi's face, but by the time Lin Ran was about to take a closer look, everything had vanished.

She could only assume that she had just imagined it.

"Sigh, I only feel troubled because I don't want to see Xiao Jingchen."

Seeing that Lin Ran really didn't understand what he meant, Xiao Yunsi could only sigh helplessly and lay out his purpose.

"Lin Ran, my good friend, since I bring you delicious food every day, could you go and get this for me?"

not good.

Lin Ran answered without hesitation in her heart.

But there was still some hesitation on her face.

Just as Xiao Yunsi said, he had helped her many times and brought her these delicious foods every day, so she really had no reason to refuse.

"To be honest, Xiao Jingchen has already taken that document home. I can't exactly chase after him to his house to get it."

Seeing that Lin Ran's expression had softened, Xiao Yunsi laid his cards on the table, his eyes full of pleading.

"Good Lin Ran, it's just some information, you won't just abandon me, will you?"

Seeing that Lin Ran remained silent, a hint of melancholy flashed in Xiao Yunsi's eyes, and he sighed silently.

"Alright, alright, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Just pretend I didn't say anything, and don't let this affect our relationship."

Xiao Yunsi forced a strong smile, which made Lin Ran feel even more guilty. She stared at him intently, her eyes filled with conflict.

"Okay, I'll help you."

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yunsi's lowered eyes, but he did not agree immediately, instead looking over with some concern.

"Is it really okay? If it's difficult, then forget it. I'll just tell the truth. Is Xiao Jingchen going to beat me up?"

"But I don't know if he'll secretly try to trip me up. Sigh, after all, he's disliked me for a long time."

"Okay, I said I agreed, so I agreed!"

“Great! Tonight is a perfect opportunity. I’ve already found out that Xiao Jingchen has a meeting tonight and won’t be back until very late.”

Hearing that Xiao Yunsi had already found out about these things, Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable, but since she had already agreed, she could only hurry up and finish her work.

Xiao Yunsi sat on the other side playing on his phone, but his eyes were full of a triumphant smile.

He had prepared for so long and made so many sacrifices, and finally this day had come!

After eating, Lin Ran felt much better and finished all her work in no time.

"let's go."

Xiao Yunsi smiled, his expression the same as before, but Lin Ran felt something was off.

"What are you looking at me for? Are you captivated by me?"

Noticing Lin Ran's gaze, Xiao Yunsi made a joke without batting an eye, and that cheeky joke immediately made Lin Ran feel familiar.

It seems she was overthinking things. Xiao Yunsi genuinely considers her a friend; what could possibly be wrong with him?

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Lin Ran smiled and got into the car.
