The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 261 Nothing will happen.

Fu Ssu-nien quickly reached out and caught the person.

The old man also reached out his hand at the same time, but after all, he was old, and his movements were certainly not as nimble as when he was young.

"You!... Sigh, could you please carry her to bed to rest? Thank you."

The old man, who was about to get angry, suddenly changed his expression and his voice sounded somewhat helpless.

Fu Sinian didn't say anything, and gently placed Lin Ran on the bed.

He had just covered Lin Ran with the blanket when he heard Old Master Xiao's order to leave.

"Thank you for helping so much. Now that Ranran's family is here, we don't need you anymore."

Fu Sinian pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but it was clear that he didn't intend to leave.

He even moved a chair and sat down next to Lin Ran's bed.

The old man was furious, but he couldn't say anything. He could only curse inwardly before following the doctor to the office.

When Lin Ran woke up, she stared blankly at Fu Sinian's concerned gaze. She paused for a few seconds, then remembered something, and her face instantly paled.

"How is Sui Sui?"

Lin Ran's movements were so large that she didn't even notice the needle still on the back of her hand.

Fu Sinian firmly pressed her back onto the bed, his tone serious: "Lin Ran, calm down. How can you take care of the child if you can't take good care of yourself?"

Lin Ran trembled, but ultimately stopped struggling.

She looked around and realized that Sui Sui was lying on the bed next to her.

Her face, which had been flushed from the heat, had returned to its original state, and her chubby cheeks bobbed up and down with her breathing.

Lin Ran recalled the doctor's words, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad anymore."

"The doctor just said that as long as a suitable bone marrow donor is found, everything will be fine for Sui Sui."

"You don't need to worry about the previous treatment costs. I'm the team leader, so I can lend you the money."

Fu Sinian originally intended to say that he could give it to her directly, but considering Lin Ran's usual personality, he knew that she would definitely not accept it, so he had to change the subject.

Looking at Fu Sinian, who was trying so hard to please her, Lin Ran felt much less anxious. She raised her head and smiled somewhat reluctantly. Just as she was about to speak, the old man, who had been listening to the whole thing, walked in.

"Hmph, we don't need your money, we have plenty at home!"

Fu Sinian's face stiffened, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.

"Fu Sinian, you should go now. Thank you so much for your help today."

Fu Sinian knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he could only leave the hospital with many backward glances.

Once the door was closed, Lin Ran, who had just been calm, burst into tears again.

The old man felt a pang of heartache seeing her so vulnerable, but there was nothing he could do but gently comfort her.

"Okay, okay, I asked the doctor, it's not a serious illness."

"All we need to do is find a suitable bone marrow donor."

“The world is so big, there’s bound to be something that can help Sui Sui. Don’t worry, no matter what Grandpa does, he will definitely save Sui Sui.”

The old man's steady voice gradually soothed Lin Ran's aching heart. She glanced up and saw his slightly reddened eyes, realizing that she wasn't the only one who was sad.

Grandpa is old, and he handles these things calmly. As Sui Sui's mother, how can she let herself be immersed in sadness?

Realizing this, Lin Ran raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa, you're right. Sui Sui is still so young, she'll be alright."

Lin Ran smiled somewhat reluctantly and helped the old man sit down.

"Grandpa, you should go back later. I'll take care of Sui Sui."

"You'll take care of her? You're not planning to go back to work?"

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned, a hint of disapproval in his eyes.

He knew Lin Ran's personality; she was definitely not the kind of person who would want to stay at home as a housewife.

If she really has to give up her newly found job because of the child, then what's the point of having this old geezer?

Hearing the old man's question, Lin Ran fell silent.

Of course she didn't want to resign.

This job is now her only source of income.

Even though she knew the old man had a large fortune, enough to cover Sui Sui's medical expenses, as the child's mother, she was unwilling to just rely on her parents like that.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and patted her shoulder casually.

"Alright, you can go back to work now. I've already hired a professional caregiver for the hospital."

"You don't need to worry about Niannian's side, someone will take good care of her."

"grandfather……"

Seeing how much the old man was thinking of her, Lin Ran blinked, and tears fell again.

"Alright, alright, you're such a grown-up, why are you crying all the time? Aren't you afraid I'll laugh at you?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but pout and said coquettishly, "I know Grandpa won't laugh at me."

She paused, looking at the old man's tired appearance.

The person who must be most worried about the illness is probably the old man, since it was his care that caused it.

But now, in order to comfort her, I can only pretend to be indifferent.

"Grandpa, you should go back and rest first. Sui Sui's fever just broke today, and I want to take care of him myself."

The old man had originally wanted her to take care of her own health, but seeing her resolute expression, he could only swallow his words and nod.

"Okay, Sui Sui's ward is big enough. Remember to rest for a while tonight."

Lin Ran nodded and watched as Butler Xiao took the old man away before returning to the ward.

Sui Sui was still fast asleep when Lin Ran looked at him with a pained expression, gently stroking his soft cheeks with her fingers.

If he were here, I wouldn't need to pretend to be strong like this.

Lin Ran stared at the face that looked remarkably like Xiao Jingchen's, feeling increasingly aggrieved.

Meanwhile, back home, Xiao Jingchen felt a sudden pang of sadness welling up inside him, causing his eyes to redden uncontrollably.

He carefully took out his phone, and upon seeing something, his expression suddenly softened. He gently touched the screen, as if handling some priceless treasure.

But just then, a phone call came in.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the contact name, a hint of disgust flashing across his face, but he still patiently answered the call.

"what happened?"

Completely different from the coldness on his face, Xiao Jingchen's voice was so gentle it seemed to drip with water, yet his expression remained icy cold, as if he were having a split personality.
