The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 43 I can help you

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the restaurant, calming Lin Ran down considerably before she turned to look at Xiao Yunsi.

What do you need me for?

Xiao Yunsi seemed a little embarrassed. He glanced in the direction of the restaurant and moved closer to Lin Ran, instantly shortening the distance between them.

“I know you were forced to follow Xiao Jingchen, but I can help you.”

Xiao Yunsi spoke very seriously, and after saying this, he took out a check and handed it over.

“Here’s a million. Give this money to Xiao Jingchen, then leave him and live the life you want.”

It has to be said that Lin Ran was very moved by what Xiao Yunsi said.

But she still refused.

Xiao Yunsi had saved her many times, both before and now, and she didn't want to cause him any trouble.

"no need."

"Xiao Yunsi, thank you, but I can handle this myself, don't worry."

After saying this, Lin Ran winked at him playfully.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with following Xiao Jingchen. The salary is even higher, so don't worry."

Xiao Yunsi paused for two seconds, then smiled helplessly.

"it is good."

"But if you need any help, just come and find me."

"Well, definitely."

Lin Ran smiled and nodded. She genuinely considered the man who had saved her several times as a friend.

"Then I'll go back first."

Lin Ran returned to the restaurant without hesitation and waved to him.

Xiao Yunsi lowered his eyes, stared at the check in his hand, and clicked his tongue softly, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he were thinking about something.

Right at the corner of the restaurant, Ye Chuchu stared excitedly at her phone.

The screen shows the scene where Xiao Yunsi hands the money to Lin Ran.

She hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain from coming here.

Ye Chuchu glanced at the restaurant again, but it didn't appear. She then turned and left.

Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Ran who had returned, his face so gloomy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

"Why did Xiao Yunsi call you?"

Lin Ran paused for a moment, then looked up and smiled at the man.

"I left something at his house, so he brought it to me. That's all."

Since she refused Xiao Yunsi's help, there was naturally no need for Xiao Jingchen to know about it.

Xiao Jingchen did not answer, but stared at her intently.

Lin Ran even felt like she had been seen through, and just as she was about to explain, Xiao Jingchen withdrew his gaze.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became somber.

Lin Ran opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing Xiao Jingchen's indifferent expression, the words stuck in her throat and she ultimately said nothing.

The exhibition kept them busy until sunset. Even a workaholic like Xiao Jingchen looked tired, let alone Lin Ran, who was already exhausted.

The two returned to the hotel exhausted, only to find someone who shouldn't be there at the entrance.

Ye Chuchu wore a white dress and had light makeup on her face, giving her a somewhat innocent and pure look.

"Brother Xiao, I miss you so much."

Ye Chuchu's voice was tinged with grievance, and tears fell like beads as she threw herself into Xiao Jingchen's arms, her face streaked with tears.

"Brother Xiao, why didn't you tell me you were going on a business trip? I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Ye Chuchu sniffed, looking extremely aggrieved.

However, nestled in Xiao Jingchen's arms, she didn't see the man's slightly furrowed brows.

Lin Ran took a step back, looking at the two embracing each other, and felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart. When she met Ye Chuchu's provocative gaze, she simply lowered her head to avoid it.

They liked each other from the start; she was the one who was superfluous.

Lin Ran took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the bitterness in her heart.

"Mr. Xiao, I'll head back now."

Lin Ran's voice was somewhat muffled, and without waiting for Xiao Jingchen's reply, she fled into the hotel.

Ye Chuchu curled her lips into a smug smile, clinging to Xiao Jingchen's arm and refusing to let go, looking quite affectionate.

Helpless, Xiao Jingchen could only take his men back to the room.

Ye Chuchu suppressed her excitement and spoke softly to Xiao Jingchen.

"Brother Xiao, do you know Sister and Xiao Yunsi? I saw them talking together today."

Ye Chuchu casually brought up the matter, and when she saw Xiao Jingchen's slightly furrowed brows, her expression became more excited.

She almost couldn't wait to take out her phone, find the photo, and innocently handed it to Xiao Jingchen.

"Brother Xiao, look, I even took a picture!"

Xiao Jingchen stared at his phone for a long time, his face growing increasingly gloomy, completely oblivious to the smug look on Ye Chuchu's face beside him.

"I also heard them talking about materials; they must have been discussing work."

"I really envy my sister; she's so capable at work."

"Unlike me, I can't do anything. Brother Xiao, you won't look down on me, will you?"

When Ye Chuchu came over in the afternoon, she found out what had happened in the morning and naturally learned that Lin Ran had helped Xiao Jingchen solve a big problem.

She would never allow that bitch Lin Ran to show off in front of Xiao Jingchen.

As expected, Xiao Jingchen's face turned frighteningly cold upon hearing about the materials, his eyes fixed on the images on the screen.

The check in Xiao Yunsi's hand was very conspicuous, and Lin Ran also looked happy.

After a long silence, Xiao Jingchen let out a cold laugh, his anger undisguised.

"So it was all about money after all."

How could the supplier suddenly run into problems? And how could Lin Ran, someone with no work experience, solve the problem so quickly? It's probably all Xiao Yunsi and her doing.

The more Xiao Jingchen admired Lin Ran in the morning, the more he loathed her now.

Ye Chuchu smiled with satisfaction and tossed her phone aside.

She has more important things to do.

When Xiao Jingchen came to his senses, he saw a fair hand touching his chest and giving him a very ambiguous nod.

"Brother Xiao, shall we rest?"

Ye Chuchu leaned in, and just as she was about to kiss him, Xiao Jingchen suddenly took a step back and pulled away in refusal.

"Brother Xiao?"

Ye Chuchu cried out in a somewhat aggrieved tone. She had already taken such a proactive approach, so why was Xiao Jingchen still rejecting her?

"Brother Xiao, don't you like me?"

Ye Chuchu was unwilling to give up and moved closer again, but was still rejected by Xiao Jingchen.

"Chuchu, I'm a little tired today, you should get some rest."

After a long standoff, Xiao Jingchen reluctantly offered an explanation.

In fact, Xiao Jingchen didn't know why he was doing this. When Ye Chuchu came closer, he felt a little resistant.

"Be good and have a good rest."

Seeing Ye Chuchu's sullen expression, Xiao Jingchen felt a little helpless and whispered a word of comfort.

"Okay, Brother Xiao, I'll do whatever you say."

Ye Chuchu feigned grievance and watched Xiao Jingchen go into the bathroom before her pretense completely crumbled.
