The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 331 A small punishment

The cool moonlight stretched their shadows apart, making them a straight line.

Xiao Jingchen looked at that figure, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

"How did you come?"

Lin Ran also fell silent. She pursed her lips and looked behind Xiao Jingchen.

"Were those the same people who took Nian Nian away?"

Xiao Jingchen was surprised that Lin Ran would ask this question so directly. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face as he hid his blood-stained hands behind his back.

He didn't want Lin Ran to see this bloody side of him.

"um, I……"

Xiao Jingchen hesitated, unsure how to begin, but the next second, a smile flashed across Lin Ran's face as she looked up directly at the man in front of her.

"They deserve it."

"If you don't do it, I might do it myself."

Xiao Jingchen was taken aback. He looked down and saw Lin Ran's approving gaze.

The worries that had been weighing on him seemed to vanish with a bang, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Leave this to me."

"Xiao Jingchen".

Lin Ran suddenly spoke up, her eyes sparkling, and seeing Xiao Jingchen's stunned expression, she hugged him directly.

"Thank you."

Xiao Jingchen was completely stunned. When he came to his senses, he only saw Lin Ran's back as she turned and ran away.

The moonlight was still cold and clear. Xiao Jingchen stood in the courtyard for a long time, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

The next morning, Lin Ran carefully left the room without waking the two sleeping children.

"Grandpa, I'm entrusting Sui Sui and Niannian to you."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Lin Ran, who was about to leave, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

He had been watching Lin Ran suffer from insomnia night after night these past few days, and now she had to go to work after just one day of rest.

But when it came to actually stopping him... he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only nod and watch Lin Ran leave the villa.

Lin Ran already felt guilty for neglecting her work due to her own reasons. As soon as she arrived at the company, she started to deal with the work that had been piling up, and she didn't notice the somewhat resentful look in Fu Sinian's office.

This woman, she said she was going to thank me properly, but as soon as she arrived at the company, she buried herself in her work.

fraud.

Lin Ran had indeed forgotten about the matter. Since arriving at the company, she had been engrossed in her work. If it weren't for Xiao Lu thinking of her, she probably would have even forgotten to eat lunch.

Xiao Jingchen on the other side was in the same situation.

The old man in the house was incredibly relaxed.

He originally wanted Niannian to rest at home for another day, but the little girl insisted on going to school, so the old man had no choice but to send her there.

As for Sui Sui and the old man, they naturally stayed in the villa, boredly waiting for the afternoon to arrive.

Of course, perhaps only the old man is bored.

Lin Suisui knows that her current physical condition is not suitable for going to school, so she has been studying at home on her own.

Although some of the text I read still had pinyin added.

But that didn't stop him from watching with great interest.

After a long day, Lin Ran stood up, wearily shook her neck, glanced at the time, and was about to leave when she finally noticed that gaze that was impossible to ignore.

She slowly turned her head and saw Fu Sinian sitting there with a resentful expression.

Lin Ran abruptly stopped in her tracks as she prepared to leave.

"Um, Si Nian, thank you for saving Niannian, I..."

"Hmm, you're treating me to dinner tonight? I reluctantly agreed."

Before Lin Ran could speak, Fu Sinian thoughtfully finished the rest of the conversation.

Lin Ran blinked, and after a long while, sighed, which was considered an agreement.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go make a call."

"Let's go together with Su Yi and Xiao Lu too."

Before Fu Sinian could even manage a smile, he forced it back down upon hearing this, looking like he was about to laugh but couldn't.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Lin Ran had already turned around and gone out to make a phone call. He could only swallow his displeasure and reluctantly went out to eat with her.

Inside the villa, the old man, who had just received a phone call, sighed deeply and got into his car with a lonely back.

Busy, everyone is busy, it’s better to be busy.

Although it was almost time for school to end at the kindergarten, the sun outside was still scorching.

Outside the classroom of Class 1, a little girl stood there listlessly, large beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, her face flushed red.

Grandpa Xiao saw this scene as soon as he arrived at the door. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the little girl was none other than Niannian.

The old man, who had been watching the show with amusement, suddenly became anxious and, disregarding that school had not yet ended, pushed open the door and went inside.

"Every year?"

"Great-Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Xiao Niannian looked up and spoke weakly, her voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

"Old Xiao, carry her to the car and give her some water."

Old Master Xiao wished he could do it himself, but then he seemed to remember something and watched as Butler Xiao carried Niannian away before coldly knocking on the door.

Inside the house, a beautiful woman opened the door, looked at Niannian who had already been taken away, and then at Old Master Xiao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Excuse me, parent, is there anything I can help you with?"

Old Master Xiao looked at the woman's miniskirt and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

A kindergarten teacher dressed like this during work hours—her mind is clearly elsewhere, and she's not even taking care of the children.

“I’m Lin Niannian’s family. Don’t you know what the temperature is right now? How can you leave a young girl like her standing at the door?”

Despite his cold expression, Old Master Xiao still exuded an imposing aura. Sure enough, the teacher paused for a second, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

But the next second, she calmed down.

He's just an old man, what's so scary about him?

Thinking of this, she raised an eyebrow and spoke with a helpless expression.

"Niannian, she doesn't follow classroom rules, so I just gave her a small punishment."

Seeing the disdain on the woman's face, Old Master Xiao immediately understood everything.

His eyes darkened, he snorted, but did nothing; he simply took out his phone and made a call.

Inside the Xiao family's meeting room, a place so quiet you could hear a pin drop, someone's phone suddenly rang.

The piercing ringtone sent a chill down everyone's spine in the office.

That person is definitely doomed.

Everyone was thinking the same thing, and Xiao Jingchen did indeed frown.

He didn't lose his temper, but silently picked up his phone, turned around and left the meeting room.

Looking at the number on the screen, Xiao Jingchen pressed his temples wearily and pressed the answer button.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, it's just that your daughter was bullied. You can handle it yourself."
