The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 345 Starting over

Xiao Jingchen had endured for so long, and finally found an opportunity to make contact; how could he possibly give it up so easily?

He reached out and grabbed Lin Ran's wrist, pulling her directly into his arms and holding her tightly.

Lin Ran froze for a few seconds, and just as she was about to struggle, she heard a slightly hoarse voice in her ear.

"do not move."

"Can I hug you?"

Xiao Jingchen's voice was magnetic yet husky, and Lin Ran's heart trembled. In the end, she softened and stood still.

The two hugged for a long time, until Lin Ran felt her legs were going numb.

"Xiao Jingchen, I... Ah!"

As soon as Lin Ran opened her mouth, she was picked up by the waist and thrown onto the soft bed.

The next second, a warm body pressed against her, and hot breath hit her ear, making Lin Ran's face flush even more.

Xiao Jingchen reached out and, in the dim light, traced Lin Ran's face little by little, from her eyes to her nose and then to her mouth, the intense emotions in his eyes impossible to conceal.

After a while, just as Lin Ran couldn't help but speak, Xiao Jingchen suddenly lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips.

Solemn, yet with a hint of piety.

Lin Ran was stunned. Before she could say anything, Xiao Jingchen turned over and lay down on the other side, his voice filled with intense desire.

"Ranran, if you don't leave, I'm going to lose control."

Lin Ran opened her mouth, met Xiao Jingchen's eyes, her heart trembled, and she ran out.

Back in her room, she touched her rapidly beating heart and lay down with a complicated expression.

What exactly did Xiao Jingchen want to do just now?

Lin Ran fell asleep in turmoil all night, while Xiao Jingchen in the next bedroom slept well and woke up refreshed in the morning.

But during breakfast, the atmosphere in the whole house became strange.

The two little ones, Sui Sui and Nian Nian, would look at Xiao Jingchen one moment and then at Lin Ran the next, their little heads filled with big questions.

"Mommy, why are your cheeks so red?"

Every year I ask this question.

Before Lin Ran could answer, she turned and moved closer to Xiao Jingchen.

"Daddy, why are you always secretly looking at Mommy?"

Xiao Jingchen opened his mouth, but the usually eloquent man was now speechless.

Compared to Niannian's confusion, Suisui clearly understood the current situation, and covered her mouth with a chuckle.

The laughter made the two of them even more awkward. They stood up at the same time and turned to go to work.

Behind them, three burning gazes were fixed on their backs.

"Brother, what's wrong with Mommy and Daddy?"

Nian Nian looked at Sui Sui, who was smiling, with a puzzled expression on her chubby face.

"Hmm, they're shy. We have something important to do today."

Niannian couldn't understand what Suisui was saying, but she understood one thing: her brother was going to take her out to play again!

Grandpa Xiao was naturally more aware than the two children. Seeing how precocious the two children were, he didn't stop them at all. Instead, he even waved his hand and asked the two children to take a day off so he could play around with them at home.

They took the child out before the two of them got off work.

Of course, neither of the two working outside knew any of this; they just felt that the villa was unusually quiet when they got home.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Jingchen's eyes, as if he understood something, but on his face he still looked like he didn't understand anything, and walked in with Lin Ran.

Only two dim lights were on inside, the air was filled with the sweet scent of roses, and a bottle of red wine sat on the dining table.

A candlelight dinner?

Lin Ran could tell at a glance that this was the work of the two children, and her face involuntarily flushed.

Even Xiao Jingchen, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips in surprise, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.

He broke the silence in the room by pulling out a chair for Lin Ran.

"Please take a seat."

Lin Ran felt awkward for a moment, but didn't say anything more and sat down naturally.

It was just a meal, but they had already done more intimate things together. She didn't need to feel embarrassed about such trivial matters.

Lin Ran comforted herself in this way, and her expression did indeed become much calmer.

A pleasant environment does indeed make people feel much more at ease.

The two enjoyed their delicious steak and a few sips of red wine before starting to talk.

"Ranran, I like you."

"Should we start over?"

Xiao Jingchen's sudden direct attack left Lin Ran momentarily bewildered. She looked up and saw a hint of gentleness on his cold face in the candlelight.

It was very quiet around her; she could even hear her own heart pounding.

The feelings that had been hidden for so long were finally exposed.

Perhaps, she can be brave one more time.

"it is good."

bang bang bang-

The man, who seemed to have everything under control, suddenly heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

He remembered something and took a necklace out of his pocket.

Lin Ran looked over and her expression froze.

This necklace is...

Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress the slight tremor in his voice.

"The property returns to its original owner."

Lin Ran's eyes were a little moist, but she did not refuse Xiao Jingchen's offer to put the necklace on her.

In the candlelight, the two drew closer little by little, and the air around them became sweet and sticky.

Pink bubbles rose from inside the house, while outside, two children and an old man peered through the window, their eyes fixed on the scene inside.

The old man, in particular, looked like his eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Okay, okay."

In the end, his decision wasn't wrong.

Although we experienced many setbacks along the way, the result was good, and that's enough.

Of course, the two people inside the house didn't go too far, after all, this was the living room, and besides... who knows where those two children were hiding.

With her long-standing inner conflict resolved, Lin Ran looked completely different.

Fu Sinian, in particular, stared at the necklace around Lin Ran's neck for a long time during the morning meeting, feeling a heavy weight in his heart, a bitter and painful feeling that he couldn't bear.

He could no longer deceive himself that he still had a chance.

He came to Kyoto for Lin Ran, but now that goal is gone, he seems to have no reason to stay any longer.

Fu Ssu-nien looked out the office window, his expression incredibly complicated.

Leaving now shouldn't be too embarrassing, right?

Fu Ssu-nien has always been a casual person, and once he made a decision, he announced it directly at noon.

"Bad news, I have to go back to France."

During lunch, Fu Ssu-nien said with a smile.

"Huh? Boss, are you going back alone? Waaah, I'll miss you."

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

Of course, it might be more believable if he put the food down.
