The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 275 That little girl is my daughter

Ye Chuchu clenched and unclenched her fists, her eyes fixed on a corner of the sofa, before finally speaking after a long while.

"So what if she comes back? Jingchen loves me, and I will never let go."

Despite her outward confidence, Ye Chuchu felt a little uneasy inside.

Does Xiao Jingchen really like her? If he does, why is he unwilling to interact with her?

Ye Chuchu clenched her fists, but her voice suddenly became calm.

"Mom, no one else knows about this, right?"

"No, I was the only one who went to discuss the contract today."

"By the way, it seems that Ye Chuchu has another man by her side, and he seems to be pursuing her. The two of them look very intimate."

"man?"

Ye Chuchu was taken aback, and then a hint of jealousy ignited in her eyes.

Why? Why is it that even though that woman jumped into the sea, she can still find someone to dote on her?

Ye Chuchu was so emotionally turbulent that she didn't even notice the footsteps outside the door.

Xiao Jingchen's hand, which was about to knock on the door, froze in place, his expression so gloomy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

As he listened to Ye Chuchu's grand plan, he silently gritted his teeth, but a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Lin Ran is back. She's finally back.

It took Xiao Jingchen a few breaths to calm his turbulent emotions. He turned and left the Ye family.

The two people inside the house were completely unaware that Xiao Jingchen had come.

Zhou Qing was originally waiting at the door. He had just started a game when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Jingchen out of the corner of his eye.

He froze for a few seconds, then had no choice but to quit the game and watch Xiao Jingchen get into the car.

"Mr. Xiao, where are we going now?"

"Go back to the company and find out where Lin Ran is living now."

Even though Xiao Jingchen had tried his best to hide it, Zhou Qing could still hear the excitement in his tone.

He was just about to agree when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Who did Mr. Xiao just say he was looking for?

Lin Ran?

"Mr. Xiao, you've forgotten, Madam has already..."

Zhou Qing originally wanted to say that she was already dead, but when she unexpectedly met Xiao Jingchen's warning gaze, the words she was about to say took a completely different turn.

"disappeared……"

After a long pause, Zhou Qing finally managed to come up with a suitable word.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen was not angry about this. He glanced at Zhou Qing lightly.

"Go and check on the people who recently came from Country F."

"Okay Mr. Xiao."

Although Zhou Qing didn't know what was going on, he decided not to provoke Xiao Jingchen, who was still somewhat excited.

After delivering the person to the company, Zhou Qing began to diligently investigate. However, he did not expect that he would actually find Lin Ran, who should have died.

Even the child who came with her looked very familiar.

Zhou Qing's hand trembled.

What kind of expression would President Xiao have if he knew that Lin Ran had not only returned to Kyoto, but also brought a child with her, and that child was the person he had been investigating a few days ago?

It took Zhou Qing several minutes to sort out the documents in his hand. On the way back to the company, his expression was so heavy that he looked like he was about to die.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door before going in, only after he had reached the office.

"Mr. Xiao."

"The information has been found?"

Xiao Jingchen's tone was hurried, with a hint of barely suppressed tension.

Zhou Qing's hand trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the documents and photos directly.

It would be much better to do it this way than for him to say it himself.

Xiao Jingchen was nervous at this moment and didn't bother to notice Zhou Qing's strange behavior. He eagerly picked up the documents.

When he saw Lin Ran holding the little girl in his arms, his expression froze.

Zhou Qing silently mourned in his heart.

What's meant to come will come, Amitabha.

But the next second, Xiao Jingchen actually laughed.

It was a genuine laugh, not a sneer.

His eyes were full of excitement as he stared intently at the photo.

That little girl was actually his daughter.

Xiao Jingchen knew from the beginning that Lin Ran was not dead.

If he hadn't known she was still alive and well, how could he have stopped ordering the search?

Two years ago, the old man told him everything.

He longed to fly to Country F immediately to see Lin Ran and the children.

But the old man said that unless Lin Ran herself is willing to return to China, Xiao Jingchen will never see them again.

Xiao Jingchen had no doubt about the truth of these words.

Even though he had firmly grasped the Xiao family's control, he couldn't guarantee that he could surpass the old man.

Besides... he knew he had really hurt Lin Ran.

For two years, he could only rely on that photograph to get through the long nights.

Every single second, he was thinking about Lin Ran and the child.

He had thought countless times of sneaking over to take a look, even just for a glance, but every time the thought arose, he would remember the old man's warning.

He can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.

But he should do something, like, stand up for Lin Ran.

So he suppressed his disgust and approached Ye Chuchu.

Even the things the Ye family did were all part of his scheme.

Of course, now that Lin Ran is back, he should keep his distance from that group of people to avoid being misunderstood.

Xiao Jingchen probably didn't even realize that he had already started to pay attention to Lin Ran's thoughts.

Zhou Qing stood aside silently watching Xiao Jingchen's expression change repeatedly, secretly wondering whether she should call a doctor over.

After all, Xiao Jingchen's situation seems to be a bit off right now.

"Zhou Qing, drive to that kindergarten."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the time; it was almost time for kindergarten to let out, and as a father, he had a responsibility to pick up his daughter.

Xiao Jingchen suddenly stood up, went back to the lounge, looked in the mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong with his outfit before coming out.

Even after he left the office, Zhou Qing still didn't react at all, just standing there blankly, as if his soul had been stolen away.

"Zhou Qing."

The tenderness on Xiao Jingchen's face vanished instantly, and he looked at him coldly.

Zhou Qing snapped back to reality, looking at Xiao Jingchen's cold expression, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Mr. Xiao, what did you just say?"

"Do I need to repeat myself when we go to kindergarten?"

Looking at Xiao Jingchen, who was suppressing his anger, Zhou Qing silently swallowed.

Sure enough, it seems President Xiao is about to take action.

Zhou Qing swallowed hard, nodded shakily, and scurried downstairs, casually searching on Baidu.

"How many years will be sentenced for kidnapping a child?"

"Zhou Qing, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing Zhou Qing's prolonged reluctance to drive, Xiao Jingchen frowned impatiently.

What's wrong with this person? Why is he just spacing out all day?
