The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 221 Too Much Work

Xiao Jingchen suddenly sighed again, a faint worry between his brows, as if he had something difficult to deal with.

"I probably won't be able to come over in the next few days."

"what happened?"

Lin Ran didn't mean to pry into his privacy; she just asked casually. But she didn't expect Xiao Yunsi to explain to her so seriously.

"You want to know why?"

"Oh, it's President Xiao. He's been giving me a lot of work lately. I'm so busy, really busy."

Xiao Jingchen...

Lin Ran was taken aback, then suddenly understood something, and a hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.

"It's all because of me. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

"Don't come looking for me again. That way, President Xiao shouldn't lay a hand on you."

Seeing Lin Ran's serious expression, Xiao Yunsi seemed somewhat moved, but the next second, he suppressed the emotion that shouldn't exist.

"It's okay. You said we're friends."

Lin Ran blinked, touched, looked at the box with only one pastry left, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it over.

"Here, have some. Don't be shy."

Looking at Lin Ran's serious expression, Xiao Yunsi even doubted whether he had misheard.

Seeing that she seemed serious, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lin Ran, I bought this."

"I know, but since you gave it to me, it's mine."

This was the first time Lin Ran had done something like this, and her face unconsciously flushed red.

Lin Ran was unaware that Xiao Jingchen was so enraged by the scene that he nearly smashed everything he could in the office.

A pair of dark eyes shot out a chilling firelight.

Xiao Jingchen had never felt so defeated. He stared intently at Lin Ran's smiling face on the screen, his eyes filled with a hint of jealousy. His deep gaze seemed to want to tear Lin Ran apart and devour her at any moment.

This time, instead of rushing over like before, he calmly returned home.

When Lin Ran dragged her tired body home, she immediately saw Xiao Jingchen sitting in the living room.

I don't know how many cigarettes he smoked, the whole living room was filled with smoke.

"came back?"

Xiao Jingchen's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and his gaze toward Lin Ran was deep and somewhat frightening.

Lin Ran took a step back without making a sound.

Why do you smoke so much?

Xiao Jingchen still noticed that tiny movement. He paused in his hand movements, and the smile on his lips continued to widen.

"Lin Ran, I warned you, you belong to me."

"Why are you so disobedient?"

The last sentence seemed to be a sigh, the ending tone lingering and incredibly gentle, but Lin Ran keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Amidst the swirling smoke, she could barely make out Xiao Jingchen's face, only vaguely catching a glimpse of his red-glowing eyes.

Lin Ran swallowed hard and ran upstairs without looking back.

But because of fear, her legs were too weak, and she was pulled into Xiao Jingchen's arms after only a few steps.

Through the thin layer of clothing, Lin Ran felt the intense heat behind her and couldn't help but struggle.

"Xiao Jingchen! Put me down!"

"Heh, don't move around."

Xiao Jingchen held the person tightly in his arms, his muffled laughter making his chest tremble, but his tone was heavy and carried a hint of threat.

Lin Ran stopped struggling and let Xiao Jingchen lead her to the bedroom.

The smell of tobacco on Xiao Jingchen made her feel dizzy. Lin Ran frowned in dissatisfaction but dared not say anything.

bang——

Lin Ran was thrown onto the bed, but fortunately the bed was soft enough that falling on it didn't hurt much; it felt as soft and fluffy as sinking into a cloud.

"Wait, Xiao Jingchen, I have something to tell you... um."

Looking up and meeting Xiao Jingchen's gaze, Lin Ran understood perfectly what that gaze meant, and felt a burning sensation on the parts of her body that he had touched.

She swallowed nervously, about to speak, but Xiao Jingchen pinned her down firmly.

The hot breath hitting her neck made Lin Ran tremble all over.

The next second, lips with a strong tobacco smell pressed against mine.

Xiao Jingchen kissed her intensely, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction through the kiss. Lin Ran even tasted blood in her mouth.

She cried and begged for mercy, but the man on top of her acted as if he didn't see it and stripped her naked in an instant.

Just as she was about to succeed, Lin Ran felt a familiar nausea and suddenly became much stronger, actually pushing Xiao Jingchen away.

"vomit--"

Xiao Jingchen frowned, but before he could get angry, he heard the heart-wrenching sound of vomiting. A look of panic flashed across his face, and he ran over without hesitation.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Ran didn't have time to answer. The smell of smoke on Xiao Jingchen made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and she squatted on the ground with a frighteningly pale face.

Xiao Jingchen looked at her thoughtfully and waited patiently for a long time before seeing Lin Ran stand up shakily.

He suppressed his urge to go and help her, and followed Lin Ran out of the bathroom.

After this commotion, Xiao Jingchen naturally lost the will to continue what had just happened.

His cold eyes were fixed on Lin Ran, as if he wanted to cut her apart.

"Lin Ran".

After a long pause, Xiao Jingchen spoke, and Lin Ran trembled slightly before responding softly.

"Ah."

"Are you doing this to resist having sex with me?"

Although it was a question, Xiao Jingchen's tone remained very steady.

If it weren't for this reason, the woman would have no reason to refuse him.

Lin Ran's face was expressionless, but a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

She was tired of explaining this to Xiao Jingchen. She had said the same thing hundreds of times, but he wouldn't believe a single word of it.

If that's the case, why bother asking anymore?

I'm talking to you again!

Unable to bear her silence, Xiao Jingchen grabbed Lin Ran by the neck, his eyes bloodshot, clearly furious.

"You... are crazy!"

Lin Ran pried Xiao Jingchen's hand apart with her hands while speaking intermittently.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes were dark and lifeless as he stared at the person in front of him, but his hands tightened their grip, as if he really wanted to strangle Lin Ran to death.

Lin Ran's gaze gradually became unfocused. She even thought she was about to die, but then Xiao Jingchen suddenly let go of her hand.

A large amount of oxygen rushed in all at once, accompanied by a burning pain.

Lin Ran was panting heavily, her eyes filled with physiological tears.

A hint of lingering fear flashed across Xiao Jingchen's face, but seeing Lin Ran's resistant expression, his voice sounded somewhat hurt.

"Lin Ran, do you really disgust me that much?"

"No, I'm vomiting..."

Lin Ran finished speaking and then went into the toilet to dry heave.
