The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 99 A Perfect Match, A Match Made in Heaven

"Well……"

Lin Ran felt as if her heart was on fire, and she gasped for breath in pain.

Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Jingchen's eyes flashed with disgust as he looked toward the corner from which the sound came. The next second, however, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Lin Ran?"

In her dazed state, Lin Ran heard her own name and tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

"Tsk, you drank so much."

Seeing her bewildered expression, Xiao Jingchen's heart softened. He leaned closer and smelled the strong odor of alcohol. He frowned slightly, but his hands moved with unwavering honesty, picking her up from the ground.

"Don't touch me, sob..."

Lin Ran pushed the person in front of her forcefully, but her weak movements had no deterrent effect whatsoever.

"It's really troublesome."

Xiao Jingchen frowned, made a call to Zhou Qing, and then reached out to Lin Ran without hesitation.

"Don't touch me, don't."

Lin Ran didn't know who the person in front of her was. She struggled wildly, and a feeling of nausea rose up as she pushed and shoved.

A sound of vomiting came from over there.

Xiao Jingchen stared at the mess before him with a livid face, the unpleasant smell making him furrow his brows.

"Lin Ran!"

Compared to Xiao Jingchen's anger, Lin Ran had already fallen asleep and even smacked her lips.

Xiao Jingchen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Instead of leaving the room immediately, he carried Lin Ran to the next room.

Fortunately, neither of them had anything on them, so Xiao Jingchen could barely accept taking care of the drunk woman.

Late at night, most of the company's colleagues had returned to their rooms, but Ye Chuchu was still waiting in the lobby. Not long after, her phone rang.

She answered the phone excitedly, but after a few words were spoken on the other end, her expression gradually darkened.

"Useless! I delivered her right to your door, and you still let her escape."

"It's fine if there are other men around, but this is none of your business. Get lost."

With a snap, Ye Chuchu hung up the phone, a slight smile playing on her lips.

No matter who's in the room, as long as it's not Xiao Jingchen, Lin Ran is doomed this time.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ye Chuchu barely slept all night and started yelling in the corridor early in the morning.

"Has anyone seen Lin Ran?!"

"She's gone missing! Has anyone seen her?!"

Hearing this, the people on the same floor all rushed out. Ye Chuchu anxiously explained Lin Ran's disappearance and even opened Lin Ran's room to show everyone.

The room was a bit messy, but there was no one there.

"Don't panic, let's look around."

Ye Chuchu looked at the large group of people, a subtle smile playing on her lips, and led them upstairs to search.

At this moment, Lin Ran, who was drunk, had just sobered up. The consequences of her hangover were now fully apparent. Her head was throbbing and her throat was extremely dry.

The soft bed beneath her brought Lin Ran back to her senses. She paused, as if she had thought of something, and immediately became tense.

That man from last night!

Looking around, Lin Ran immediately spotted the dirty clothes lying in the corner.

Even her clothes were changed.

Lin Ran's face stiffened, and a hint of despair surfaced in her eyes.

The fingers under the covers were digging into her palms desperately, and she didn't stop even when she felt the pain.

Crystalline tears streamed down her face, dripping onto the blanket and leaving patches of stain.

pat.

The bathroom door opened, and Lin Ran immediately tensed up, looking over warily.

The next second, she stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Xiao Jingchen?"

Xiao Jingchen raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but then noticed the tears on Lin Ran's face. He paused for a second, then smiled lightly.

"Why are you crying?"

Lin Ran's expression froze. She coughed a few times to cover her embarrassment and bit her lip shyly.

How did I end up here?

Xiao Jingchen casually wiped his still-dripping hair and looked up.

"You barged in drunk yourself, that's what I should be asking you."

"Then...then the clothes I'm wearing are also yours?"

Seeing Lin Ran's shy expression, Xiao Jingchen found it somewhat amusing.

"You threw up all over yourself, do you really think you can just go to sleep like that?"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Lin Ran nervously rubbed her hands together, trying hard to recall what had happened last night.

clap clap.

The urgent knocking broke the silence in the room. Xiao Jingchen frowned, walked over, and opened the door.

Ye Chuchu's smile froze instantly. She never expected that the man in the room would be Xiao Jingchen.

"Is something wrong?"

Not to mention Ye Chuchu, even the employees behind her didn't expect this to happen. How did they end up in the president's room when they were looking for someone?

"Brother Xiao, we're just looking for Sister Lin Ran. She shouldn't be here, so we'll be leaving now."

Clinging to her last hope, Ye Chuchu spoke tremblingly. After saying this, she turned to leave, but Xiao Jingchen's reply came even faster.

"Yes, she's with me, no need to look for her anymore."

Xiao Jingchen didn't like being disturbed, but these people were only worried about Lin Ran, so he could barely tolerate it.

The people outside the door exchanged glances and spoke in unison.

"President Xiao and Lin Ran are indeed a match made in heaven."

"A perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Ye Chuchu wanted to retort immediately after saying these words, but remembering Xiao Jingchen's warning earlier, she could only maintain the smile on her face and turn to run away.

Xiao Jingchen's expression was inscrutable. He took a deep look at Ye Chuchu's back and slammed the door shut.

Turning around, the person who was lying on the bed suddenly disappeared. Xiao Jingchen stared at the bulge in the blanket, walked over quickly, and with a swift motion, exposed Lin Ran, who had been hiding under the blanket, to the air.

"Are they gone?"

Lin Ran glanced at it cautiously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the door was closed.

The New Year's Eve party lasted for two days, and after it ended, everyone went home to celebrate the New Year.

The New Year's atmosphere in the villa wasn't strong, but Lin Ran thoroughly enjoyed it.

Grandpa Xiao was like a child, always by her side watching her cook. Xiao Jingchen, on the other hand, hadn't changed much, still spending all his time in his study.

Even so, it's still much better than what Lin Ran had experienced in the previous few years.

On New Year's Eve, the three of them sat around the dining table. All the dishes on the table were made by Lin Ran herself. Xiao Jingchen and the old man also put aside their prejudices and had a warm dinner together.

"Happy New Year!"

Lin Ran smiled happily, her eyes sparkling like the most precious gems in the world.

Xiao Jingchen stared at her blankly for a long time, a gentle smile appearing on his lips, and responded softly.

"Happy New Year."
