The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 360 The Secret of That Night

Ye Minghua was still somewhat dazed when he returned to the prison.

He didn't know how Lin Qing had become like that. She used to be like a little shadow, always following him around.

This time, she actually refused his request!

Ye Minghua squatted in a corner of the prison, his haggard face filled with hatred.

No, he can't stay in prison forever. He has to get out; he absolutely has to get out.

Ye Minghua rubbed his body for a long time before finally pulling off the necklace hanging around his neck. As the prison guard who had lent him his phone approached, he hurriedly handed the item over.

"Please, let me make one more call, just one minute, I only need one minute."

Having already tasted success, the prison guards did not give up.

Anyway, this guy can't run away. He just borrowed a phone and got so many good things. It's even better than a pie falling from the sky.

After getting his phone, Ye Minghua lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered something and dialed a number.

This time, he directly called Xiao Jingchen.

It's unclear what the two said, but Xiao Jingchen actually came over.

Everyone around him was cleared out. Xiao Jingchen sat on a stool with his legs crossed. Even in this environment, he still maintained his noble demeanor without the slightest incongruity.

A hint of jealousy flashed across Ye Minghua's face, but when she looked up again, the jealousy turned into a fawning smile.

"Mr. Xiao, please let me out. The poisoning really has nothing to do with me. It was all done by that bitch Wang Mei, really."

Ye Minghua reached out and grabbed Xiao Jingchen's sleeve, but the man glanced at him with a look of disgust, and Ye Minghua froze on the spot.

After a long while, he shamelessly approached again.

“Mr. Xiao, I know very well who the woman was that night. As long as you are willing to let me out, I will tell you the truth immediately.”

A faint, cold smile flashed across Xiao Jingchen's eyes, but his face showed an extremely nervous expression.

Who was it that night?

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's state, Ye Minghua was no longer flustered. As if he had grasped Xiao Jingchen's lifeline, he felt much more relaxed.

"You have to let me out first, otherwise I don't want to talk here. Mr. Xiao is a smart man, he should know what I mean, right?"

Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, but stared at Ye Minghua with his narrow eyes for a long time before chuckling and nodding.

"it is good."

He clapped his hands, and a man quickly walked in and unlocked Ye Minghua's handcuffs and leg irons.

Having finally regained his freedom, Ye Minghua, immersed in excitement, failed to notice the darkness in Xiao Jingchen's eyes beside him.

"Can we talk now?"

Ye Minghua composed himself and spoke to Xiao Jingchen.

"The person that night was indeed Lin Ran, but even she herself didn't know who she was at the time, which is why that bitch Wang Mei took advantage of the situation and let Ye Chuchu take her place."

"Mr. Xiao, I've told you everything I know. May I leave now?"

Seeing Ye Minghua's expectant look, Xiao Jingchen smiled and stared at him intently.

Ye Minghua keenly sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to explain. Xiao Jingchen clapped his hands, and the people who were already waiting at the door rushed in and took him back to the prison.

He finally realized he had been tricked, and his face turned ashen.

"President Xiao! Xiao Jingchen! You broke your promise!"

"You're just like that little bitch Lin Ran! You're all the same!"

Xiao Jingchen, whose expression had been relatively pleasant, suddenly turned cold when he heard Ye Minghua scold Lin Ran, and turned to give orders.

"Since he's not behaving himself, you should think of a way to make him behave, so he doesn't have time to do other things every day."

After saying this, Xiao Jingchen quickly left.

He was filled with guilt, but also a little bit of joy.

It turns out that the person that day really was Lin Ran.

It turned out to be her.

Thank goodness it was her.

Xiao Jingchen's cold expression gradually softened, and the affection in his eyes was like thick ink that could not be dissolved.

The couple got married in a hurry, without even a proper proposal ceremony, let alone rings or anything like that.

At the time, he was only thinking about completing the mission; he didn't have many other thoughts.

But things are different now; he just wants to give Lin Ran the best of everything in the world.

As the sun set, Lin Ran returned home from the company.

Looking at the living room, which was noticeably different from usual, she was somewhat puzzled.

The scene was so lavish, it almost looked like a marriage proposal.

The thought had barely crossed Lin Ran's mind when she quickly suppressed it.

Right there, music suddenly started playing in the room, and Xiao Jingchen walked down the stairs step by step, wearing a very formal suit.

But what Lin Ran cared about most was the box in his hand.

That thing that looks like a ring box.

Lin Ran's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to ask.

She feared her hopes would be dashed, and even more so, the regret that would follow her joy.

As if to verify his idea, Xiao Jingchen approached step by step with the item in his hand, his face filled with tenderness that Lin Ran had never seen before, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of nervousness.

nervous?

Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh at her own idea.

Why would Xiao Jingchen be nervous?

Before she knew it, Xiao Jingchen was standing in front of Lin Ran.

"Lin Ran, I know it's a bit late to do this now, but please forgive me."

Xiao Jingchen's voice is magnetic, like a perfect cello, and its sound is intoxicating.

Especially when Xiao Jingchen opened the box and revealed the ring inside, Lin Ran felt her heart was beating so fast it was almost unbearable.

She watched as Xiao Jingchen knelt on one knee and held the ring high in the air.

"Lin Ran, I love you. Will you marry me?"

bang bang bang-

For a moment, Lin Ran couldn't hear anything. She could only see Xiao Jingchen's lips opening and closing, as if he were saying something.

She slowly stretched out her hand, about to speak, when the annoying ringtone sounded again.

Both of them paused, especially Xiao Jingchen, whose icy gaze was like a knife piercing the phone.

Unfortunately, the phone doesn't know anything.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before quickly answering the phone.

That was a call from Lin Qing.

A sense of panic flashed through Lin Ran's heart. When she answered the phone, the voice that came from the other end was not Lin Qing, but a strange man.

"Hello, you must be the patient's daughter, right? Could you please come to the First Hospital for your mother's sake..."

Lin Ran couldn't hear what the man behind her said anymore. She was just stunned as Xiao Jingchen dragged her out and into the car to the hospital.
