The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 349 Bringing a Marriage Certificate

Xiao Jingchen was anxious. He looked at Lin Ran's back and was about to chase after her when Fu Sinian suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

"Mr. Xiao, although we're all here for team building, we're not from the same company, so perhaps it would be better if you didn't keep coming?"

Seeing the provocation on Fu Sinian's face, Xiao Jingchen paused, actually stopped, and turned to walk in the other direction.

This somewhat unusual behavior left Fu Sinian puzzled. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he followed Lin Ran and left.

This is a resort built in the mountains, surrounded by many small lakes, waterfalls, and even fruit trees on the mountainside.

Although there's not much to do, the tranquil environment makes it a nice place to escape the summer heat.

Lin Ran's room was arranged on the top floor, next to Fu Sinian, Su Yi, and Xiao Lu's rooms.

The antique design of the room was refreshing to Lin Ran, but upon closer inspection, she suddenly noticed something was amiss.

It seems someone has just been in this room.

The curtains were drawn back, and the blankets on the bed seemed to have been moved, leaving them somewhat wrinkled. Even the shoes on the floor were in a slightly odd position.

Lin Ran felt a chill run down her spine. She took a deep breath and used her bag as a makeshift weapon.

She has acquaintances on both sides of her room. Even if there are people inside, she only needs to shout loudly and they will come immediately. She only needs to ensure her safety in those few seconds.

Having made her decision, Lin Ran took a deep breath, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings before finally settling on the closed bathroom door.

It should be there, right?

Lin Ran swallowed hard and moved her feet carefully.

Just as she was about to reach the door, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Lin Ran's heart jumped, and without even bothering to see who it was, she threw a handbag at the person.

Xiao Jingchen was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a heavy bag to hit him. He didn't even try to dodge it and took the hit head-on, leaving a red mark on his forehead.

"How did you get in here! Don't come any closer, or I'll call out... Xiao Jingchen?"

Lin Ran stared blankly at the man in front of her, blinking her eyes, seemingly still somewhat bewildered.

"Ranran, you haven't bought insurance yet, so there's no point in smashing it so hard."

Xiao Jingchen rubbed his forehead, his tone full of helplessness.

Lin Ran followed his movements and saw the red mark on his head, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Ahem, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Ran with a resentful expression, and gently placed the bag that Lin Ran had thrown at him aside.

"There are no rooms available here, so I applied to stay with you."

"But this is our company's location. Besides, how could the boss's wife possibly agree to this?"

Lin Ran retorted without hesitation, then paused, seemingly feeling guilty upon seeing the mark on Xiao Jingchen's forehead, and came up with another idea.

"How about this, I'll stay with Xiaolu, and you can stay here."

"No, I'll be scared living alone."

Lin Ran paused, a few question marks appearing on her forehead.

Did she just mishear something? Did Xiao Jingchen say he was afraid to live alone?

Lin Ran rubbed her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingchen again.

"Don't worry, I showed the landlady our marriage certificate. We are husband and wife, and it's only natural for us to live together."

Seeing Lin Ran's constantly changing expression, Xiao Jingchen finally told her what he had done.

Lin Ran was even more speechless now.

What kind of decent person would bring their marriage certificate when they go on a team building trip?

No matter how much Lin Ran protested, Xiao Jingchen remained there with an absolutely domineering attitude.

So when Fu Sinian came to call Lin Ran downstairs for dinner, his face darkened instantly when he saw that it was Xiao Jingchen who opened the door.

"Sorry, I called you by the wrong name."

Fu Ssu-nien apologized sullenly, and as he turned to leave, he glanced at the house number one last time.

That seems correct.

The next second, he seemed to understand something, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Where is Lin Ran?

Xiao Jingchen smiled slightly, glanced at the room with an ambiguous expression, and gave a vague answer.

"In the bathroom."

Fu Sinian felt as if his heart had been squeezed hard. He took a deep breath to keep from losing his composure, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

Who just came by?

Lin Ran came out of the restroom and saw Xiao Jingchen closing the door, so she casually asked him a question.

“It was Fu Sinian. He said he wanted to call you down for dinner, but I told him you were in the bathroom.”

Lin Ran froze, staring at Xiao Jingchen in disbelief.

Such ambiguous statements might lead to misunderstandings!

She glared at Xiao Jingchen, put on her coat, and left the room.

This time, Xiao Jingchen did not stop him.

After all, Lin Ran has quite a temper now, so he has to go along with her a bit, otherwise it would be a loss if he really angered her and she left.

Lin Ran arrived downstairs not too late; many of her colleagues hadn't come yet.

The main purpose of this team building activity was to relax, so Fu Ssu-nien did not make any strict requirements about when they had to come for meals; everyone was free to do as they pleased.

Therefore, Lin Ranwan's brief visit was hardly a big deal.

Little Deer, unaware of what had just happened, waved eagerly.

"Ranran, come here quickly."

"Why did you take so long to come down? I've been waiting for you for ages."

"I just tidied up upstairs, so it's a little late."

Lin Ran tried to explain, but little did she know that her words only strengthened Fu Sinian's conviction that something had just happened in the bedroom.

He bit into the rice in his bowl with malice, as if he were eating Xiao Jingchen's flesh instead of rice.

Su Yi was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere and pointed at Fu Sinian, laughing heartily.

"The boss looks like he hasn't eaten in centuries, how come he's even hungrier than me?"

“I’ve noticed that the boss has been very irritable lately. This place is perfect for him to cool down.”

Fu Sinian's gaze was like a knife, but Su Yi seemed not to notice and was still muttering to himself while talking to Xiao Lu.

In the end, Lin Ran couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Su Yi, ending the strange atmosphere.

"Ranran, shall we go hiking tomorrow morning? I heard the sunrise from the top is amazing!"

Xiaolu loves taking pictures, and she even brought her camera with her this time.

Lin Ran was initially reluctant to go hiking, but when she met the little deer's bright eyes, the word "no" seemed to get stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it no matter what. In the end, she nodded somewhat heavily.

"it is good."

"Really? Ranran, you're so good to me!"

Xiao Lu looked at Lin Ran with a touched expression, which made Lin Ran feel a little guilty, so she quickly changed the subject.
