The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 329 1 Family

At the airport, Nian Nian clung tightly to Xiao Jingchen's neck, peering expectantly towards the entrance.

Will Mommy really come?

"Yes, it will come."

Xiao Jingchen said with a hint of helplessness.

This is the eighth time this question has been asked every year. If it were anyone else, Xiao Jingchen would never answer.

But it was his most precious little daughter who asked this question.

Even if you're incredibly impatient, you still have to respond repeatedly.

Nian Nian pursed her lips, and just as she was about to reach the exit, she suddenly twisted her body.

"I want to walk by myself."

Xiao Jingchen hesitated.

Year after year, she hadn't fully recovered, but when he met her pitiful eyes, he couldn't help but put her down.

Nian Nian breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her little dress, and took Xiao Jingchen's hand as they walked forward step by step.

Suddenly, she seemed to see someone, abruptly shook off Xiao Jingchen's hand, and ran forward with all her might.

"Mommy, brother!"

Upon hearing that sweet, childlike voice, Lin Ran's tears immediately fell. Looking at the little dumpling running towards her, she couldn't help but reach out her hands.

"Every year."

The hug Lin Ran had imagined didn't come. She stretched out her arms somewhat blankly and looked around, seeing two little bundles of joy tightly embracing each other beside her.

Even though she was the biological mother of these two little ones, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

She pursed her lips, and just as she was about to pull her hand back when no one was looking, she was pulled into a slightly cool embrace.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, but still didn't struggle, letting Xiao Jingchen hold her like that.

Not far away, Fu Sinian watched the scene unfold with a complex expression.

They were a family, but there was no place for him in that family.

A pang of sadness welled up in Fu Sinian's heart. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he turned around and left through another exit.

As long as she is happy, that's all that matters.

As for myself, I should be more sensible and not show up there to hinder other people's happiness.

Lin Ran caught a glimpse of Fu Sinian's back out of the corner of her eye. Just as she was about to speak, a voice filled with laughter rang in her ears.

"Why are you calling him? To stay and watch our family being affectionate?"

Lin Ran raised her eyes, looked at the sly smile on Xiao Jingchen's face, and after a long while, softly responded.

As for saying thank you, I'll save that for when I'm at work later.

Fu Sinian didn't hear the footsteps behind him, and felt both relieved and sad.

Perhaps he really has no chance.

As he stepped out of the waiting hall, the sudden gust of wind behind him made Fu Sinian turn around warily, but his eyes flickered when he saw that familiar figure.

"Su Yi? What brings you here?"

Su Yi scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Boss, an assistant from Xiao's Group told me to come and pick you up."

“I thought he was just kidding me and I wasn’t planning to come. But then I thought, what if it’s true? So I came.”

Su Yi rambled on about her psychological journey.

If it were before, Fu Sinian would have interrupted him with an annoyed look, but now, listening to his rambling words, he only felt a sense of warmth.

"Su Yi, you are truly my best brother."

Fu Sinian thought about what he had just witnessed, and felt a pang of sadness and dizziness. He then hugged her tightly.

This time, not only Su Yi, but even Fu Sinian himself was stunned, and let go of his hand as if he had been burned by fire.

"Ahem, I'm just too excited, you know?"

Su Yi hadn't quite come to his senses yet, but he still nodded subconsciously.

On the way back, the two of them fell silent.

Meanwhile, Lin Ran, who originally planned to take her two children home, was stopped.

"Grandpa has been very worried about you lately. Why don't we go to the villa today? Don't worry, I've already prepared the room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jingchen almost bit his tongue, and a look of helplessness appeared on his somewhat stiff face.

Lin Ran, who had originally planned to leave, suddenly softened when she saw him like this.

"Let's go then."

Xiao Jingchen nodded, and two seconds later, he suddenly looked up at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Get in the car."

The usually calm and composed man couldn't suppress the smile on his lips at this moment.

The two children climbed into the back seat very obediently. Xiao Jingchen drove, and Lin Ran sat in the passenger seat.

Yes, everyone is seated.

Xiao Jingchen checked everything and then stepped on the gas.

But he always felt a little uneasy, as if... he had forgotten something.

Five minutes later, Zhou Qing walked out of the airport carrying several suitcases. Looking at the empty parking spaces, a hint of confusion flashed across her expressionless face.

Was he... left behind?

Clearly, Xiao Jingchen, who was in the car, was also aware of this problem.

He felt a rare pang of guilt and sent a message while waiting at a red light.

"Double bonus, two days of paid leave."

Outside the airport, Zhou Qing took out his phone to check the text message. The dissatisfaction on his face vanished in the blink of an eye, as if by magic.

As a useful assistant, even carrying a suitcase home is no problem!

In the villa courtyard, Old Master Xiao stood at the gate, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the car.

As soon as the car door opened, a white "small cannonball" rushed towards him.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, I miss you so much every year."

Although Lin Niannian was very excited, she still controlled her strength and slowed down her pace just before she touched the old man.

"Oh, good child, let your great-grandfather check if you are injured anywhere."

The usually boisterous little girl actually stood there obediently, letting the old man examine her over and over again.

"Good, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

Grandpa Xiao's eyes were a little moist. He held Sui Sui's hand in one hand and Niannian's hand in the other, and walked back to the room step by step.

Watching that figure from behind, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile, forcing herself to walk into the kitchen.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the living room, took off his coat, and surprisingly went into the kitchen as well.

The servants standing by were startled and were about to go over to help when the old man stopped them.

"We don't need your help today, go back and rest."

The group exchanged glances, and although they didn't understand, they obediently turned and left.

In the kitchen, Lin Ran glanced at the man who was washing vegetables with his sleeves rolled up, somewhat surprised. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze fell on the wound on his arm.

Although it has started to scab over, you can still tell how serious the injury was.

"Xiao Jingchen, does it hurt a lot?"

Hearing that tearful voice, Xiao Jingchen's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head away.
