The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 232 I Really Didn't Lie

Ye Chuchu blinked and lightly approached Xiao Jingchen.

"Brother Jingchen, did I disturb you?"

A sense of urgency flashed through Lin Ran's heart, and her gaze toward Xiao Jingchen also carried a hint of expectation.

She just wanted to explain everything that had happened before; Xiao Jingchen wouldn't be that heartless, would he?

But Lin Ran soon realized how ridiculous her expectations were.

Xiao Jingchen's originally cold gaze softened the moment he saw Ye Chuchu, like the warm sun in winter, and his voice was full of doting affection.

"Chuchu, you've arrived."

"Why are your hands so cold? Should I turn the air conditioning up a bit?"

Looking at Xiao Jingchen's attentive manner, Lin Ran felt a little breathless. She stared intently at the two of them, as if she were torturing herself.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and Lin Ran squeezed her palms tightly, not stopping even as blood began to flow. Her vision blurred.

She opened her mouth as if to call out, but her voice was dry and she couldn't make a sound.

"Brother Jingchen, my sister is still watching from over there, please don't do this."

Ye Chuchu looked shy, but her gaze toward Lin Ran held a hint of provocation.

His attitude, which was like that of a mistress of the house, made Lin Ran so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingchen, but saw that the man's gaze was still fixed on Ye Chuchu.

That gentle gaze was as if looking at one's own treasure.

So warm and sincere.

Lin Ran's vision blurred, and she stiffly turned to leave, but her heavy body wouldn't obey her commands, and she fell straight down.

Xiao Jingchen, who had been calm, suddenly changed his expression and rushed over to catch Lin Ran, who was about to fall.

Ye Chuchu, who was originally standing next to him, was pushed aside without any regard for him.

Feeling the ridiculously light woman in his arms, Xiao Jingchen frowned, his worry undisguised in his eyes.

“Brother Jingchen…”

A dark glint flashed in Ye Chuchu's eyes. Just as she was about to go over, Xiao Jingchen had already left with the person in his arms.

"Zhou Qing, quick, to the hospital."

This was the first time Xiao Jingchen, who was usually calm, had such a strong emotional fluctuation. He didn't even dare to hold the person in his arms too tightly, for fear of breaking her.

"Okay Mr. Xiao."

Zhou Qing, with his sharp eyes, spotted the person in his arms at a glance and, without saying a word, floored the accelerator.

The silver-white car sped off like a flash of lightning.

When Ye Chuchu chased after the car, all she saw was its exhaust fumes.

She stomped her foot angrily, her eyes filled with hatred.

"That damned Lin Ran, she actually came up with this kind of method to bewitch Brother Jingchen! You bitch!"

Despite her cursing, Ye Chuchu still honestly took a taxi and followed them.

Halfway there, Lin Ran seemed to realize that she was in a warm and familiar embrace, and couldn't help but snuggle against it affectionately.

Xiao Jingchen stiffened and looked down, only to catch a glimpse of Lin Ran's tightly furrowed brows, even in her unconscious state.

"I really...didn't lie to you..."

Lin Ran murmured softly.

Xiao Jingchen's expression changed, revealing an indescribable complexity. After a long while, he seemed to sigh, close his eyes, and conceal the hint of tenderness in them.

"Zhou Qing, stay with her for a while until she wakes up before going back to the company."

Zhou Qing paused on the steering wheel, responded, but secretly complained in his heart.

Mr. Xiao clearly cares about his wife; he even carried her to the hospital. Why did he have to pretend to leave?

Of course, Zhou Qing only dared to complain to himself; he would never dare to say these things out loud.

After finally arriving at the hospital, Xiao Jingchen actually took the person inside and then left.

But there was still a hint of reluctance in his gaze.

Zhou Qing could only stay there with Lin Ran. Fortunately, she had only fainted from exhaustion and was not seriously injured.

After telling Xiao Jingchen the news, Zhou Qing glanced at Lin Ran, who was still unconscious, and quietly left the ward.

When Madam wakes up, she'll definitely need something to eat, so he'll go buy it beforehand to save time.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but secretly give herself a thumbs up in her heart.

Such a thoughtful assistant is truly rare.

Lin Ran woke up as soon as Zhou Qing left.

A nurse passing by, who was changing her dressing, saw her struggling to get a water cup and rushed over to help, pouring water while complaining.

"Sister, you need to open your eyes when you're looking for a man. Look at your husband, he just left you here unconscious and left. It's obvious he doesn't care about you."

"Besides, you're pregnant now, doesn't he care about you at all?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran's originally pale face suddenly flushed slightly with anxiety.

"Um, could you please keep my pregnancy a secret? Please."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse, who was already full of disapproval, became even more surprised, and her gaze towards Lin Ran even carried a hint of disappointment.

"Hmph! I've wasted all that time talking, do whatever you want."

"However, your attending physician is not me, but Dr. Wang. You can just tell him when you need him later."

"But there's one thing I need to tell you: Dr. Wang has a very cold personality, so he might not necessarily help you."

The nurse watched Lin Ran finish a glass of water, then poured her another glass and placed it on the table next to her before leaving.

Lin Ran looked at the needle stuck in the back of her hand and was about to pull it out when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"If you don't want the baby in your belly, you can just have it removed."

"Dr. Wang? I..."

Lin Ran bit her lip, her face showing some guilt.

"I'll keep it a secret for you, but you need to take care of yourself. I have to be responsible for my patients, understand?"

Dr. Wang's voice was cold, but Lin Ran could detect a hint of concern in it.

"I understand, Dr. Wang. Today was just an accident."

Lin Ran, pale-faced, spoke in a pitiful tone, making people unconsciously feel sorry for her.

Dr. Wang sighed deeply and turned to leave.

When Ye Chuchu arrived and saw that Lin Ran had already woken up, her contempt deepened.

This woman was definitely faking it; her goal was to steal Xiao Jingchen away from her.

Seeing the doctor emerge from the ward, Ye Chuchu quickly put on a worried expression and ran over.

"Hello doctor, the person in the ward is my sister. Is there anything wrong with her stomach?"

A glint flashed in Dr. Wang's eyes behind his glasses. He looked at the girl in front of him and spoke after a long while.

"Her stomach? Of course her stomach is fine; after all, the discomfort is in her stomach."

"is it?"

Ye Chuchu frowned, her eyes still secretly observing the person in front of her. Seeing that he did not change his expression at all, she then spoke.

"Maybe I remembered it wrong, thank you doctor."
