The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 267 Seize the opportunity

Lin Suisui wasn't easily fooled like a child. He wiped away his tears and looked down to read it carefully.

Although Lin Ran was somewhat surprised, she had more important things to do, so she didn't say anything and just waited for Lin Suisui's reaction.

After a long while, Lin Suisui finally put down the documents in her hand, her face flushed.

"Do you believe Mommy now?"

Lin Suisui nodded, staring at Lin Ran with her dark eyes for a long time before lowering her head shyly.

"Mommy, can you please not tell my sister about this?"

Lin Ran would of course not refuse, but it was rare to hear Sui Sui make such a request, so she couldn't help but be curious and teased him.

"why?"

"Because I am the older brother, I have to protect my younger sister."

"My sister knows I cried, it's so embarrassing."

Lin Suisui said shyly, but Lin Ran felt a little sad after hearing this.

She tossed the documents aside and hugged Sui Sui tightly.

"Sui Sui, listen to Mommy."

"You're still a child, it's okay to cry a little, and... protecting your sister isn't your responsibility."

"That's what Mommy should do. Mommy should protect you and Niannian, understand?"

Lin Ran rarely speaks to her child so earnestly. Perhaps her words are somewhat profound, but Lin Ran knows that Sui Sui can understand them.

As it turned out, he not only understood what she was saying, but he also grasped the meaning behind her words.

Who says the older brother has to protect the younger sister? They're the same age, so how can you put such a heavy responsibility on yourself?

Lin Suisui pouted, looking like she was about to cry again, but then suddenly stopped crying.

"I won't cry. When I grow up, I can protect Mommy and my little sister. I'll be a man!"

Lin Suisui used to feel like she was going to die, so she never easily expressed her wishes, and she didn't even dare to shed a single tear.

I'm afraid it will cause trouble for my family.

But Lin Ran's words seemed to gradually break down his hard shell, and he finally acted like a child, snuggling in his mother's arms.

Lin Ran originally planned to take a leave of absence to spend more time with Sui Sui at the hospital, but he firmly said that he was already a big kid, and besides, his great-grandfather was there, so he didn't need her to accompany him.

Seeing him say these words with such arrogance, Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle.

It's quite funny that a two-year-old child keeps saying he's a big kid.

However, Lin Ran did not insist any further and planned to go to work after the old man arrived.

As soon as Lin Ran stepped into the company, she saw Xiao Su excitedly approaching her.

"Ranran, we're going out to play!"

"Going out to play? Why?"

Lin Ran put down her bag and carefully recalled her recent work.

It seems there are no plans to go out and have fun.

Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Su looked around and quietly moved closer.

"I heard that our company is going to open a branch in country Z, and people from our team will be transferred there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran paused in her actions, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes, but her voice inexplicably became tense.

Do you know where in Country Z?

"I'm not too sure about that, it seems to be either Miyako or Kyoto."

Lin Ran's fingers tightened, and a shadow fell over her eyes.

"Ranran? Ranran, what's wrong?"

Xiao Su's nervous voice brought Lin Ran back to her senses, and she gave a somewhat forced smile.

"It's nothing, I just thought of Sui Sui."

Xiao Su nodded, and before she could say anything more, someone suddenly hit her on the head.

"Who dares to hit me, sir!"

Xiao Su turned her head angrily, but the moment she saw Fu Sinian, her anger disappeared.

"Hehe, isn't this Team Leader Fu?"

Fu Sinian looked much more mature than he had two years ago. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone carried a hint of threat.

"Xiao Su, what did you just call me?"

"Brother Nian, Brother Nian, calm down. I just remembered I still have work to do, so I'm leaving now."

Xiao Su smiled ingratiatingly, then turned and ran away as if some monster was following behind her.

After watching the person leave, Fu Sinian's expression changed, and he looked at Lin Ran with some worry.

"Is Sui Sui alright?"

"Well, it's okay for now."

Lin Ran replied absentmindedly.

Fu Ssu-nien wanted to ask something more, but then a message came from inside the house asking their group to come over for a meeting.

Lin Ranxin immediately became anxious.

If possible, I hope the branch office won't be located in Kyoto.

Lin Ran lowered her eyes and entered the conference room. After sitting down, the boss began to speak.

The content was roughly the same as what Xiao Su said.

Lin Ran was appointed as the team leader of the branch, while Fu Sinian, who was originally the team leader, was directly promoted to the president of the branch.

"Boss, the location of that branch office..."

"You've all heard of the Xiao Group in Kyoto, right? You need to pay special attention to them after you get there. Even if you can't cooperate, you still have to avoid disagreements."

The boss was talking to himself, but Lin Ran couldn't listen to a single word.

She shuddered, her thoughts instantly drawn back to the days she had lived there.

Ye Minghua's accusations, Wang Mei's punishment, Ye Chuchu's false accusations, and... Xiao Jingchen's disgust...

Lin Ran took a deep breath, but couldn't stop her body from trembling.

Fu Sinian noticed her unusual behavior, recalled what his boss had just said, and seemed to understand something.

When the meeting ended, he dragged Lin Ran out of the office.

Lost in her own thoughts, Lin Ran was actually pulled forward a few steps without realizing it.

Fu Sinian didn't stop until he reached the company rooftop. He glanced at Lin Ran, whose face was a little pale, and his tone unconsciously became serious.

"Lin Ran, you don't want to go to Kyoto."

Fu Sinian used a statement of fact, and Lin Ran knew that her reaction was a bit too much. Besides, he was no stranger to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran nodded.

"If you don't want to go back, I'll talk to the boss and you can stay in F country."

Lin Ran had no doubt that Fu Sinian was lying to her.

She had long suspected that Fu Sinian's identity was not simple. Putting aside everything else, the designer brands he wore alone were more than a team leader's salary could afford.

Today's news of his appointment as president further confirmed Lin Ran's thoughts.

But Lin Ran hesitated.

If we don't go back, Sui Sui won't have a suitable bone marrow donor.

She went back for Sui Sui's sake.

Besides, she couldn't just hide in F country. Although her mother had the old man's care, how could Lin Ran bear not seeing her for so long?

As for the slight other thought in her heart, Lin Ran seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, burying that thought deep in her heart.
