The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 289 I Forbid You from Liking Him

Su Yi was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening and reached out to touch his face.

Seeing the flour all over his hand, his face immediately fell.

"Hey boss, you're too vengeful. I just laughed a few times."

Su Yi looked at the flour in his hand, his eyes darted around, and as if he had thought of something, he stretched out his hand straight towards the little deer sitting there watching the show.

Xiao Lu never expected Su Yi to attack her, and she remained dazed even after her face was smeared with flour.

"You...you've gone too far!"

After saying goodbye for a long time, Huang Xiaolu finally just said this in a huff.

Su Yi then realized that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, it was just a subconscious reaction, I didn't think that much about it."

He paused, looking at Xiaolu's fair face, and said hesitantly, "How about this, I'll take you to wash up. But you mustn't tell Sister Ranran about this later."

"Otherwise, she'll definitely punish me."

While muttering to himself, Su Yi picked up the little deer and carried it into the lounge on the first floor.

Fu Sinian watched the two figures walk away, a thoughtful look on his face.

Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to check, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Outside the door, Xiao Jingchen stood there looking exhausted.

Actually, he had the key. After all, this was the old man's property. Although he didn't get along with the old man, getting a key was still very easy for him.

Lin Ran just didn't like him going in directly.

Thinking of that dazzling woman now, a faint smile appeared in Xiao Jingchen's eyes.

He was tied up with work today and had to work overtime for a long time before he finally got here.

I wonder what that little girl, Niannian, is doing now.

The door opened, and the smile on Xiao Jingchen's face instantly froze.

He looked at the man in the apron in front of him, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao? It seems the Xiao Corporation is really free. Even someone as busy as you has time to come over."

Fu Ssu-nien stood firmly in front of the door, showing no intention of making way.

"Who's coming?"

Lin Ran's voice came from afar, and the aroma of food wafted from the house.

Xiao Jingchen's heart clenched, and he pushed Fu Sinian aside and went inside.

Just then, Lin Ran finished cooking and brought the dishes out. When she saw Xiao Jingchen appear there, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Why are you here?"

The emotions in her eyes were too obvious, and Xiao Jingchen's composure was completely shattered by what he had just witnessed. He walked up to Lin Ran, his voice hoarse and tinged with pain.

Why did you let Fu Ssu-nien stay?

"Lin Ran, do you really like him?"

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's slightly reddened eyes, Lin Ran looked up at him unhappily.

"This matter has nothing to do with President Xiao, right?"

"I remember saying that I hope Mr. Xiao will not come and disturb my life in the future."

By not giving a direct answer, Xiao Jingchen perceived it as tantamount to admitting to his question.

He reached out and grabbed Lin Ran's shoulder, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"I won't allow you to like him, Lin Ran. You can only be mine, understand?"

"Why do you care about me?"

Lin Ran didn't know which words touched her heart, but she forcefully shook off Xiao Jingchen's arm, her pupils surging with pain and sorrow.

"You were the one who disliked me in the first place, and you were the one who signed the contract voluntarily. Why won't you let me go now? What exactly do you want?"

Seeing the mist in Lin Ran's eyes, Xiao Jingchen's pupils contracted, as if he had suddenly woken up, his brows furrowed with regret.

"Lin Ran, that's not what I meant."

"I was too hasty just now, I'm sorry, but I..."

"Ranran, what's going on?"

"Mr. Xiao..."

Although Xiao Lu had already left Xiao's company a long time ago, she had been there for so long that she still instinctively called out to Xiao Jingchen the moment she saw him.

He realized his situation as soon as he shouted, pursed his lips, and lowered his head with some regret.

"This……"

Seeing Huang Xiaolu and Su Yi walk out of the room, and Fu Sinian standing aside as if watching a show, Xiao Jingchen understood everything.

He misunderstood Lin Ran once again.

He had sworn to believe her when she came back, but now…

Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath and pressed his aching temples.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now. Please don't be angry, okay?"

"I have nothing to be angry about, Mr. Xiao. Please leave. My home is too small to accommodate you."

Xiao Jingchen lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes concealing emotions that were difficult to decipher.

"I do not go."

"Lin Ran, we're not divorced, you can't treat me like this."

Staring into those dark pupils, Lin Ran actually detected a hint of grievance in them.

How ridiculous! How could the president of the prestigious Xiao Group feel wronged because of a few words from her?

Both of them fell silent, neither willing to speak first.

The atmosphere remained tense.

Fu Sinian suddenly chuckled and looked at Xiao Jingchen with a hint of accusation.

"Since you're not divorced yet, you should at least take some responsibility."

"As Niannian's father and Lin Ran's husband, where were you when they had their accident?"

"That's understandable, given that he's the CEO of the Xiao Group. It's understandable that he's busy, but..."

"After finishing his work, he started yelling and shouting without even checking the facts, and didn't even bother to check on their actions. Mr. Xiao, you're really not up to the task."

Xiao Jingchen listened to Fu Sinian's words, his eyes flickered a few times, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but seeing Lin Ran's unwilling look, he took a deep breath and turned to leave.

"Please take care, Mr. Xiao."

Fu Sinian slightly curled his lips, said something to the outside of the door, and then slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, Xiao Jingchen clenched his fist and slammed it hard against a tree.

He glanced deeply at the closed door behind him, then turned and got into the car.

Under the moonlight, a silver Rolls-Royce sped by.

Inside the villa, Ye Chuchu leaned back comfortably on the sofa, a face mask on her face. Although it was already midnight, none of the servants dared to leave, standing there like trees.

Five minutes later, Ye Chuchu raised her hand, and a maid rushed to her side anxiously. She gently peeled off the face mask from her face and carefully wiped her face clean with warm water.

"Madam, everything is ready."

After moving in, Ye Chuchu instructed the servants to address her as Madam. Although Xiao Jingchen knew this, he did not object, which was tantamount to acknowledging her status.
