The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 247 Meeting Postponed

On the top floor of the Xiao family's building, Ye Chuchu, just like in the previous months, carried porridge into the office and placed it on the desk as if she were completing a task.

"Brother Jingchen, this is the porridge I've prepared for you over the years. I'll go out now."

It seemed to have become a habit; after saying these words obediently, Ye Chuchu turned and left without Xiao Jingchen saying anything more.

Zhou Qing was about to take the porridge away as before, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jingchen waved his hand to stop him this time.

"Ye Chuchu".

Hearing the voice behind her, Ye Chuchu's first reaction was that she had misheard. But when she turned around and met Xiao Jingchen's gaze, something in her heart suddenly started pounding.

She blushed, turned around, and walked back, deliberately showing off her delicate, white neck.

"Brother Jingchen, what's up?"

"Wasn't this porridge made for me? Let's drink it together."

Xiao Jingchen raised his chin, gesturing for Ye Chuchu to sit opposite him.

Although his tone was calm, to Ye Chuchu, this attitude was a thousand times better than before.

She sat down almost impatiently, then realized her smile was a little too bright and quickly toned it down.

Zhou Qing stared blankly at the changes before her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she caught sight of Xiao Jingchen's gaze, she paused, turned around, and left the office.

He knew that as a subordinate, he shouldn't interfere in these matters, but seeing this scene, he still felt secretly sorry for Lin Ran.

Thanks to Ye Chuchu's deliberate promotion, the entire company soon learned about it.

President Xiao accepted Ye Chuchu's advances and even invited her to have dinner with him in his office!

As Lin Ran stepped out of the office, she felt her steps were unsteady.

She felt incredibly proud of herself, seeing the envious looks from those around her.

It seemed that Xiao Jingchen's extensive search for Lin Ran had been forgotten by that group of people, who all began to fawn over Ye Chuchu.

Of course, some people think that Ye Chuchu is just a temporary plaything, after all, someone like Xiao Jingchen can have anyone he wants.

Surprisingly, Xiao Jingchen took Ye Chuchu very seriously this time.

Not only did they move the person into their own office, but they even had to eat lunch together.

Looking at Xiao Jingchen's gentle appearance, Ye Chuchu completely forgot about how he had been searching for Lin Ran.

Of course, even if she still remembered, she would only think now that she was charming enough to attract Xiao Jingchen.

"Brother Jingchen, can you go shopping with me this weekend?"

Ye Chuchu looked at Xiao Jingchen with a shy expression, her eyes filled with greed.

For the past few months, she has been busy trying to please Xiao Jingchen. She hasn't even gone shopping or bought any new clothes.

Although the Ye family's company can still barely operate, it can no longer allow her to squander money as recklessly as before.

If she goes out with Xiao Jingchen, surely this man wouldn't make her pay for anything.

Ye Chuchu was having a sweet dream, but Zhou Qing rudely interrupted her fantasy.

"Mr. Xiao, there is another meeting that you need to attend this weekend."

Ye Chuchu froze, glared at Zhou Qing, and was about to say something more when Xiao Jingchen spoke first.

The meeting has been postponed.

These four short words not only stunned Zhou Qing, but also left Ye Chuchu in disbelief.

"But Mr. Xiao, that meeting..."

"Zhou Qing, if you can't understand what I'm saying, you can resign."

Xiao Jingchen rarely said these things to Zhou Qing, even when he had made a mistake before.

Zhou Qing silently clenched his fist, gave a low reply, and turned to leave.

"Let's go shopping this weekend."

After everyone left, Xiao Jingchen looked at Ye Chuchu again, his tone extremely gentle.

Who could resist Xiao Jingchen looking like this?

Ye Chuchu had no intention of resisting. She boldly sat down next to Xiao Jingchen, and seeing that the man did not refuse, she was so happy that she wanted to jump for joy.

"After we finish shopping, I'll go with you to the Ye family's house."

What are you going to the Ye family for?

Ye Chuchu's heart skipped a beat. She slowly looked up at Xiao Jingchen, her tone full of inquiry.

Her naked gaze was blatantly revealed, but Xiao Jingchen acted as if he didn't see it, and instead gave her a slight smile.

"Let's discuss the cooperation with President Ye."

"I can't just watch the Ye family's company decline like this."

A strange emotion flickered in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, but Ye Chuchu had no time to see it clearly before he disappeared.

She could only pretend she hadn't seen it.

Back at the Ye family home, Ye Chuchu asked Ye Minghua, only to discover that the Ye family and the Xiao family had no cooperation whatsoever.

"I've heard about what's been going on between you two lately. Could it be that President Xiao is helping you?"

Ye Minghua narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with greed as he spoke.

After much thought, Ye Chuchu realized that this was the only reasonable explanation, but...

She frowned and went upstairs without saying a word.

She wondered if she was overthinking things. Although Xiao Jingchen was treating her very well now, even better than before, she still felt uneasy.

Because she had something on her mind, Ye Chuchu didn't fall into a deep sleep until midnight.

I naturally got up a little late in the morning.

She hurriedly put on makeup and changed her clothes, only to find Xiao Jingchen already sitting on the sofa downstairs when she went down.

Ye Minghua was sitting next to him, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Xiao Jingchen noticed something, suddenly looked up, and stared straight at Ye Chuchu.

Their eyes met, and a strange ambiguity inexplicably arose between them.

"Brother Jingchen, I'm sorry, I woke up too late."

Ye Chuchu spoke with a face full of guilt, but before she could continue, Xiao Jingchen took the initiative and directly took her hand.

"It's nothing, I just arrived early."

As Xiao Jingchen spoke, he reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Ye Chuchu's ear, a gesture that would make anyone who saw it think he was very affectionate.

Ye Chuchu was no exception.

Her fair face flushed red instantly, and her gaze towards Xiao Jingchen became somewhat lingering.

Ye Minghua was perceptive; seeing this scene, he stood up quite consciously.

"Mr. Xiao, I'll head to the company now."

"Shall we go too?"

As Ye Minghua left, Xiao Jingchen suddenly leaned closer, his deep, husky voice ringing in his ear.

Ye Chuchu felt her heart skip a beat, and she nodded groggily, letting Xiao Jingchen lead her away from the villa.

Just as the two stepped out, someone's flash went off in the bushes.
