The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 348 What a coincidence!

Sui Sui originally wanted to say something to Lin Ran, but when he looked up and saw Lin Ran's worried gaze, the excitement in his heart gradually subsided.

A shadow fell over his bright eyes. After a long while, he gently tugged at Lin Ran's sleeve, tilted his little face up, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

"Mommy, let Niannian go, I won't go."

"I'm not feeling well, so it's safer for me to stay at home."

Lin Ran's heart stirred, and she was about to nod when she was interrupted by Niannian beside her.

She stared at Sui Sui in disbelief, as if she had suffered some great betrayal, her pink lips trembling incessantly.

"Brother, you're a liar!"

"She clearly promised me she would come with me, and we even said we'd sit together in the car!"

"If you don't go, I'll be all alone, waaaaah, you liar, I don't like you anymore!"

"Niannian, have you forgotten? I'm not in good health. What if..."

"But the teacher said that a doctor will be with you the whole time, so if you really get sick, you can get to the hospital very quickly."

Niannian was still young and didn't know what would happen if she had an attack, but she knew her teacher said that a doctor would be with her the whole time.

Doctors are there to treat illnesses. With a doctor around, my brother will be fine.

"And you already promised me, you liar brother!"

Nian Nian bit her lip, and large tears fell one by one.

Sui Sui hurriedly comforted him.

Lin Ran stared blankly at this scene, seemingly not having noticed Sui Sui's expression at all.

Although there was no reluctance on his face, the disappointment in his eyes was impossible to hide.

How come she didn't notice?

Lin Ran opened her mouth, but felt that her mouth was too heavy to speak.

"Sui Sui, I believe you can take good care of yourself and help look after Nian Nian. Besides, Mommy has to go out, so could you please come with me?"

Lin Ran took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound as steady as possible.

Sui Sui seemed stunned.

In his memory, Lin Ran never allowed him to touch anything that might harm his body.

Although he understood that it was all for his health, he still couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

But now Lin Ran is actually telling him to come along.

She was still just a child. Sui Sui opened her mouth, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright, you two stop being so happy. If your eyes get swollen from crying, then neither of you will be allowed to leave."

Lin Ran deliberately kept a straight face and said, and sure enough, the two children covered their mouths at the same time and widened their eyes to show that they were not crying at all.

Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two children making the same movements.

This was the scene that greeted Xiao Jingchen when he entered, and all his fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.

He walked over with a smile, sat down next to Lin Ran, and pinched Nian Nian's soft cheeks.

"What's making you so happy?"

Niannian was initially a little annoyed by having her cheeks pinched, but after hearing Xiao Jingchen's question, she excitedly repeated the whole thing.

"Really? That's great! Have fun, kids!"

Lin Ran seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked at Xiao Jingchen with a probing gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Noticing Lin Ran's gaze, Xiao Jingchen coaxed the two children upstairs.

"You didn't arrange that school trip for them, did you?"

Xiao Jingchen's smile deepened, and he leaned closer to give Lin Ran a gentle hug, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"not me."

"However, I arranged for those doctors to go. Sui Sui is a precocious child with his own ideas, so we can't keep too close a watch on him, otherwise it won't be a good thing for him."

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered her eyes with a sense of guilt.

It turns out that even Xiao Jingchen had noticed the problem, but as Sui Sui's mother, she had only just noticed it.

“Look at you, you did the right thing. Now that Sui Sui is much better, you can do this. In the previous situation, even if it were me, I would have made him stay in the hospital obediently.”

Although she knew that Xiao Jingchen's words were mostly meant to comfort her, Lin Ran did feel much better.

She hesitated for a moment, but then told him that she was going on a team-building trip the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Jingchen remained calm after hearing the story, showing no dissatisfaction as Lin Ran had imagined.

Just as she was about to ask, Xiao Jingchen suddenly spoke up.

"What a coincidence, the Xiao family is also going out for team building."

"what?"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Jingchen with a suspicious expression.

But the man just sat there, completely at ease, showing no sign of guilt or panic.

After a while, Lin Ran withdrew her gaze.

"Well, that's quite a coincidence."

The Xiao family does indeed frequently go out for team building activities; it was just a coincidence that we ran into them. It shouldn't have been arranged by Xiao Jingchen on purpose, right?

Lin Ran had always thought these things were just coincidences, until she got off the FG bus and saw the familiar car next to her, and her expression froze.

If she wasn't mistaken, was it Song Nuan? And Xiao Jingchen?

Is the Xiao family also here for team building?

Xiao Jingchen, who had been waiting for a long time, restrained his excitement and walked over step by step. When he saw Fu Sinian, who looked unconvinced behind Lin Ran, he couldn't help but smile and raised his hand to greet him.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Fu."

Fu Ssu-nien took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Xiao!"

Fu Ssu-nien said fiercely.

Xiao Jingchen, however, did not care at all. He looked straight at Lin Ran with a triumphant smile in his eyes.

"Ranran, what a coincidence."

Lin Ran pursed her lips, clenched her fist, and looked at Xiao Jingchen with a cold expression.

The smile on the latter's face seemed to pause for a few seconds, and he coughed twice, looking somewhat guilty.

"No wonder the place I wanted to rent suddenly became unavailable to me; it turns out it was Mr. Xiao's doing."

Fu Sinian noticed Lin Ran's surprise and knew that Xiao Jingchen had come without telling her. Without hesitation, he took advantage of her misfortune and revealed everything he knew.

Immediately, Lin Ran's expression worsened.

She glared fiercely at Xiao Jingchen when no one was looking.

She should have realized it long ago; there are no such coincidences in the world, and it was all Xiao Jingchen's arrangement.

Lin Ran now even suspects that Xiao Jingchen arranged things at the kindergarten as well.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Jingchen suddenly rushed over in a fluster, giving Lin Ran a fawning smile.

"I swear, what happened at the kindergarten has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Xiao Jingchen, do you think I'd believe that?"

Lin Ran snorted coldly and turned to leave.
