The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 327 Rescued Every Year

Every year, she was thrown into the sea with her arms tied. Under the pitch-black sky, she could only feel the suffocation with a look of terror on her face.

But a man rushed over without hesitation and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Even when he hit a rock in the sea and his arm was in so much pain that he kept gasping for breath, he didn't let go of her.

They even lifted her high up so she could breathe properly.

Before she lost consciousness, the rope on Niannian's arm was finally untied.

She hugged Xiao Jingchen's neck tightly, greedily absorbing his warmth, and whispered in his ear.

"dad."

It was this cry of "Dad" that kept Xiao Jingchen going until his subordinates came over.

The ship soon docked, and Fu Ssu-nien used his power to send the two men to the hospital.

Fu Ssu-nien was not a magnanimous person.

He even considered taking Nian Nian away while Xiao Jingchen was unconscious.

Lin Ran cares deeply about his child. If he had saved Niannian, there might have been a tiny chance for them to get together.

but……

Fu Sinian gritted his teeth inwardly, but still couldn't bring himself to abandon this man.

Of course, he couldn't abandon him either, since his assistant, Zhou Qing, was still there.

Seeing the two children lying in the hospital room, Fu Sinian took out his phone and dialed that familiar number.

"Hey?"

The voice coming from the phone was hoarse, and even without seeing her, Fu Sinian could imagine her pale face.

"Lin Ran, haven't you been getting enough rest?"

Fu Sinian shouted out subconsciously, but then suddenly realized something and sighed deeply.

"Lin Ran, Niannian has been found."

thump--

The phone made a sound of something falling to the ground, and after a short while, Lin Ran's trembling voice came through again.

"What did you say? You...found Niannian?"

Lin Ran's voice trembled slightly, yet it carried a hint of anticipation.

She was afraid that what she had just heard was a misunderstanding.

Fu Ssu-nien could only repeat himself.

“I’ve found Niannian, but we’re in the US right now. Don’t worry, I’ll bring her back as soon as possible.”

"Fu Sinian, thank you, I..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Fu Sinian could hear faint sobs.

Such a rare opportunity was presented to Fu Sinian, and he shamefully became tempted.

Can……

“Lin Ran, Niannian’s rescue has little to do with me. It was Xiao Jingchen who risked his life to save Niannian, and she is still unconscious.”

Then came an even longer silence on the other end of the phone.

Lin Ran held her phone, unsure of what to say.

No wonder she hadn't seen Xiao Jingchen come over these past few days; she had thought...

"Is he injured?"

"Yes, but he's already in the hospital receiving treatment. He should call you back once he wakes up."

Fu Ssu-nien felt a pang of sadness, but he still answered honestly.

Lin Ran's eyes stung with tears. She opened her mouth, but the immense pain prevented her from speaking.

Xiao Jingchen wasn't lying; he was genuinely trying his best to protect her and the children in his own way.

A faint sobbing sound came from the phone. Fu Sinian took a deep breath, said a few more words, and then hung up.

He turned around and met Xiao Jingchen's somewhat teasing gaze. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he awkwardly looked away.

Xiao Jingchen woke up just as Fu Sinian made the phone call. He didn't say anything because he wanted to hear what the man had to say about the matter.

After all, their identities... make them rivals in love.

Surprisingly, this person was much more pleasing to the eye than I had imagined.

"What are you looking at? I just want to respect Ranran's choice. Even if we didn't talk about this, she would still like me."

"Also, Xiao Jingchen, if I find out you're treating her badly, I will definitely take action."

Their eyes met in mid-air, a tension palpable, but the next second, Xiao Jingchen suddenly smiled and responded.

"it is good."

This reflects his confidence in himself, and also his choice for Lin Ran.

The atmosphere in the ward immediately eased considerably.

The two of them turned to look at Niannian lying on the other side, only to find that her expression seemed a little off.

Fu Sinian walked over in a few steps, reached out and touched it, his brows furrowed.

"He has a fever."

Every year her face was flushed, her lips were slightly parted, and she was breathing with some difficulty.

Fu Ssu-nien dared not waste any time and pressed the call bell by the bedside.

The doctor came in, did an examination, and found that it was not just a simple fever.

Every year, those three men would take me on several trips in a row, feeding me only cold, hard steamed buns. The place I slept in wasn't very good either, and I hadn't even been thrown into the icy seawater for that long. Even an iron body couldn't withstand that.

Besides, she was just a child of a few years old.

To bring down her fever, the doctor had to give her an IV drip.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the needle into the veins in Niannian's arm. Seeing that the area was turning blue from the needle pricks, Fu Sinian couldn't help but lose his temper.

He frowned and asked to have a more experienced doctor come over.

The young nurse seemed to realize that she couldn't do the job, so she quickly called her teacher in.

Finally, the needle pierced Nian Nian's fair and tender little feet.

Xiao Jingchen felt a pang of heartache seeing this, but he knew there was nothing he could do but keep changing the towel on her head.

Fu Sinian looked at the bandage wrapped around his arm and his clumsy movements, and couldn't help but move closer.

"Alright, I'll do it. What if you become disabled if you don't get enough rest?"

Xiao Jingchen was pushed aside, but he wasn't angry. He even lay down to rest.

When Zhou Qing came in carrying several portions of food, this was the rather strange scene that greeted him.

Aren't President Xiao and President Fu rivals in love? How come they get along so... well?

Zhou Qing was startled by her own thought and quickly lowered her head, arranging the food in her hands one by one.

"Zhou Qing, where are the other three?"

"They're already tied up."

"Yes, keep a close eye on them, don't let them die."

Xiao Jingchen's voice was calm, yet it revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Zhou Qing originally wanted to say that there were still outsiders present and ask President Xiao to be careful, but when he looked up and saw that Fu Sinian didn't seem to care about what he said at all, he could only swallow his words silently.

"Okay Mr. Xiao."

"Okay, you take them back first."

Upon hearing this order, Zhou Qing instinctively wanted to object.

Now that President Xiao is injured, how can his assistant leave with people at this time?

“Zhou Qing, there’s a ticking time bomb in the company. If you don’t go back, the company might be gone.”

Xiao Jingchen's smile faded, and his tone became somewhat serious.

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate any longer, nodded, and left the ward.

This piqued Fu Sinian's curiosity.

Xiao Jingchen pretended not to see the curiosity in his eyes and closed his eyes slightly to rest.
