The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 62 will affect the company.

Ye Chuchu didn't interrupt at all, seemingly unconcerned, but she had secretly memorized everything she said.

Thinking that Xiao Jingchen had specifically called the reporters, Ye Chuchu's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Brother Xiao, I can go with you in the morning."

"I was terrified when my grandfather suddenly had an accident."

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she exaggeratedly patted her chest and blinked her eyes while staring at Xiao Jingchen.

Noticing Xiao Jingchen's gaze, Ye Chuchu chuckled inwardly.

She had put on a full face of makeup before coming, and she didn't believe that Xiao Jingchen would refuse her.

“Brother Xiao, if anything happens on the way, Chu Chu can help, and besides…”

Ye Chuchu tugged at the hem of her clothes shyly, her fair face flushed.

"I want to be with you. You're too busy with work, and we haven't seen each other in so long."

Listening to Ye Chuchu's coquettishness, Xiao Jingchen found himself feeling nothing at all. He even unconsciously thought of a certain woman's soft, sweet voice, and his throat tightened.

However, in Ye Chuchu's eyes, this appearance made it seem as if he was captivated by her, and she proudly tossed her hair.

"No."

"what?"

Ye Chuchu was stunned when she heard that cold, hard voice, and even wondered if she had misheard.

"Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes, his tone indifferent.

"My current wife is still Lin Ran. Taking you with me will affect the company's stock price."

Even though Xiao Jingchen simply stated the facts, Ye Chuchu still understood what he meant.

The innocent look on her face could barely be maintained.

"It's okay, Brother Xiao, I'll stay home and wait for you to come back."

After a while, Ye Chuchu managed to compose herself and leaned pitifully against Xiao Jingchen, her tone extremely aggrieved.

"As long as Brother Xiao likes me, it's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance."

She paused for a moment, then buried her face in Xiao Jingchen's broad, warm chest.

The sadness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by hatred for Lin Ran.

That bitch should just disappear from this world completely!

As long as she lives, she will never be able to appear openly by Xiao Jingchen's side.

She absolutely refuses to live like this!

The woman in his arms made Xiao Jingchen frown, and he stiffly pulled her away.

"I'll have someone take you home."

"No need, Brother Xiao, I can go back by myself."

Upon hearing Xiao Jingchen's voice, Ye Chuchu's eyes flickered, and a few tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother Xiao, I'll be waiting for you at home, and..."

"I'm going to miss you!"

After saying that, Ye Chuchu seemed embarrassed and quickly left the room.

She was very confident in her methods.

Little did she know that her actions had no effect on Xiao Jingchen whatsoever; he only took out his phone after watching her leave.

"Mr. Xiao, what are your instructions?"

Zhou Qing's voice came through the phone. Xiao Jingchen pinched the bridge of his nose wearily. "Investigate the truth about how the old man was injured back then."

"Investigate secretly, without being discovered."

"Okay Mr. Xiao."

After arranging everything, Xiao Jingchen's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He had once listened to Ye Chuchu and firmly believed that Lin Ran had pushed the old man, but that stupid woman had risked her life to save him.

He had no choice but to investigate this matter carefully.

Thinking of Lin Ran, Xiao Jingchen pictured her pale and haggard face, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He was always decisive and efficient, and after only a slight hesitation, he walked towards Lin Ran's ward.

The woman on the bed was asleep, but her brows were furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

Xiao Jingchen slowly reached out, wanting to help her smooth it out, but stopped just before touching her, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

What was he just doing?

The usually composed man was now flustered, not daring to look at the person on the bed again, and turned to leave.

Lin Ran, lying on the bed, knew nothing. In her sleep, she smacked her lips and smiled.

Lin Ran woke up very early.

She opened her eyes as dawn broke, looking around at her surroundings with a moment of bewilderment.

"Madam, you're awake."

Hearing the noise, Zhou Qing eagerly opened the door and came in, and was somewhat excited to see Lin Ran already sitting up.

Mr. Xiao's task for him was to bring Lin Ran to the styling room, but if Lin Ran didn't wake up, he wouldn't dare to come in and call her even if he had a thousand lives.

Lin Ran frowned when she heard Zhou Qing address her, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a long time, she pursed her lips and closed her mouth.

They're not divorced yet, so calling her "Madam" doesn't seem out of place.

Zhou Qing quickly recounted what had happened here. Lin Ran was somewhat surprised, but still nodded.

It's good for her that the old man has a good environment to recuperate; it's just a trip, so it's not a problem for her.

"Then let's leave now."

Lin Ran went back to the ward to check on Lin Qing. Seeing that Zhang Ma was taking good care of her, she didn't say anything more and followed Zhou Qing to the styling room.

The people here had already received their orders and were standing there nervously, waiting for Lin Ran's arrival.

They were all stunned when they saw the still pale-faced woman walk in.

This seems a little different from what they imagined the CEO's wife to be...

"Hurry up, Mr. Xiao is still waiting over there."

Lin Ran watched as a group of people surrounded her, several hands rubbing each other up and down, some putting on makeup, some fixing their hair. It looked like a mess, but everyone was doing their own thing.

Before long, a brand new Lin Ran appeared before everyone.

"Madam, we're taking the old man to his medical appointment today, so my makeup is rather light. Are you satisfied with it?"

The woman who had just done Lin Ran's makeup asked nervously, and when Lin Ran didn't speak, a hint of panic appeared on her face.

After all, this makeup was too light. Although she thought it suited her, someone as noble as Lin Ran probably wouldn't like it.

"I am very satisfied."

Just as she was preparing to start over, a clear voice rang in her ears. She raised her eyes slightly and met Lin Ran's satisfied gaze.

In fact, Lin Ran is quite good-looking. Even with such light makeup, she is still stunning, especially her watery eyes, which can soften a person's heart with just one glance.

Coupled with her still somewhat pale complexion, it even added a touch of heartache to the scene.

Her white dress was simple yet elegant, and the belt around her waist perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

Lin Ran rarely dresses up intentionally; the last time was on her wedding day.

When Zhou Qing walked in, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Lin Ran.

Wow, the lady is so beautiful.
