The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 280 It's all because of the children.

Late at night, a few scattered starlights fell on the road, and the moonlight draped Fu Sinian over him, as if covering him with a layer of silver frost.

"Why can't you even look at me?"

Fu Sinian smiled self-deprecatingly, looked up at the bar in front of him, sighed, and walked in.

The places on my body where I was hit are still throbbing with pain.

Each time he felt pain, he would think of Lin Ran's concern for Xiao Jingchen, and the pain in his heart would uncontrollably intensify.

He found a corner and started chugging bottles of alcohol, his reckless behavior frightening the bar staff, who were worried he might get into trouble.

Waiters came in waves, but Fu Sinian showed no sign of stopping.

I only stopped when I felt my stomach was completely full and I couldn't drink another drop.

In his confusion, Fu Sinian saw someone come over and take out his phone, seemingly making a call to someone.

He suddenly stopped what he was about to say, that he wasn't drunk.

Fu Sinian felt a surge of anticipation.

Maybe Lin Ran will come to pick him up.

On the other side, Lin Ran had just finished cleaning up the mess in her house when her phone, which was lying on the sofa, suddenly rang.

She picked it up and glanced at it, a hint of worry appearing between her brows.

Why is Fu Ssu-nien calling at this hour?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ran answered the phone, but a stranger's voice came from the other end.

"Hello, your friend is drunk here. Could you please come and pick him up?"

Was drunk?

Lin Ran paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes as if she had remembered something.

"Okay, someone will be there shortly."

"Okay, please."

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hung up the phone.

They often get yelled at when they make phone calls, especially so late at night, as almost no one is willing to travel so far to pick them up.

After putting the phone back where it was, the waiter turned and left. In the dim light, he didn't see that the man behind him had opened his eyes, his eyes clear and bright.

He didn't look drunk at all.

Fu Sinian couldn't help but smile.

Lin Ran still cares about him, otherwise why would she be willing to come and pick him up so late?

He made up his mind. Even though he didn't know the exact relationship between Xiao Jingchen and Lin Ran, he was going to break the ice again.

Perhaps Lin Ran also likes him.

When Fu Sinian thought of this possibility, a smile appeared on his face.

But a few minutes later, as he watched Xiao Su rush in from the bar entrance, the joy on his face gradually turned cold.

"Hey boss, you're supposed to be a heavy drinker, right? How come you're drunk after only a little bit?"

As soon as Xiao Su entered the door, he started shouting. He had been following Fu Sinian for quite some time, so he was naturally aware of these things.

Back then, even when ten people took turns pouring wine down Fu Sinian's throat, he still couldn't get drunk. There's only so much wine on the ground, and it's all low in alcohol content. How could he possibly get drunk?

"Who asked you to come here?"

Fu Sinian pressed his temples and asked through gritted teeth.

Xiao Su, who had been smiling, keenly sensed something was wrong, and her smile immediately faded.

"Um, it was Sister Ranran who called and asked me to come over."

"Boss, I'm not trying to be mean, but what's the point of calling Ranran when you're drunk instead of calling me? You're so heavy, how could she possibly move him?"

Fu Sinian took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Su as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Would you like to guess why I didn't call you directly?"

Under the dazzling lights of the bar, Xiao Su finally saw Fu Sinian's displeased face clearly, and her heart skipped a beat as she instantly understood what was going on.

"No way, boss, you called Ranran on purpose?"

"You don't still like her, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Su's surprised expression, Fu Sinian's pupils surged with pain. He picked up another bottle of wine from beside him and gulped it down.

"She doesn't like me."

Just as Xiao Su was at a loss, Fu Sinian suddenly said something, his tone extremely aggrieved, as if he were about to cry.

Xiao Su looked up, her already bewildered expression now showing even more tension.

"No, boss, what's wrong? Even though Ranran rejected you before, haven't you two had a pretty good relationship all these years?"

Perhaps because he had been drinking, Fu Sinian seemed much more vulnerable than usual, and under the influence of alcohol, he even hugged Xiao Su and started crying.

"Su, tell me, am I good enough to her?"

"I'm so, so good to her, why doesn't she like me?"

This hug completely threw Xiao Su's heart into turmoil.

A grown man, at this moment, was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Many of the surrounding waiters looked over in surprise, and when they saw the two hug, they all covered their mouths, looking astonished.

Su Yi was even more embarrassed; he didn't know whether to push the person away or just sit there and not understand.

"Xiao Su, why aren't you saying anything?"

Fu Sinian's eyes still held a hint of weaponry as he looked at the man in front of him through teary eyes, sobbing as he downed the rest of the bottle of wine.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Boss, what exactly happened? You need to tell me before I can help you, right?"

Su Yi earnestly advised, snatching the wine from Fu Sinian's hand and replacing it with an empty bottle.

"Just now I..."

Although Fu Sinian was a little confused, he could still barely understand Su Yi's question and stammered out what had happened that night.

"Do you think Lin Ran and I really have no chance?"

"But what can I do if I just like her?"

As Fu Sinian spoke, he held the empty bottle in his hand to his mouth and gulped down what he was drinking.

After hearing this, Su Yi suddenly laughed, forgetting even the embarrassment he had just felt.

He patted Fu Sinian on the back forcefully, his voice full of excitement.

"Boss, I think Ranran likes you too, otherwise, if you had been so stupid before, other people would have gotten angry long ago."

"But Sister Ranran has been staying in our group all this time, she definitely doesn't want to leave you."

Surprisingly, Fu Sinian agreed with Su Yi's suggestion.

"If you ask me, boss, you should seize the opportunity. There's a saying, 'Those who are near the water get the moon first.'"

"Now that Sister Ranran is one of our company's employees, you two might just end up together after a while."

Su Yi became more and more excited as she spoke; anyone who didn't know better would think she liked him.

"Boss, listen to me. Ranran is only so good to that ex because of their two kids."

"As long as you are sincere, there will definitely be no problem!"

Fu Sinian's confused look instantly became much more determined, and he nodded to Su Yi.
