The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 175 I can help you

Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen while crying, her voice filled with undisguised grievance.

"I've already done everything you said, so why are you still angry?"

"Waaah, Xiao Jingchen, you're so annoying! What do you want me to do?"

Lin Ran cried her heart out, but she didn't notice Xiao Jingchen's bewildered look.

"That's enough. I'm not angry, and I won't stop your mother's medication. Stop crying."

After a long pause, Xiao Jingchen offered a curt reassurance, his words sounding impatient despite his apparent concern for Lin Ran.

It was just a casual remark I made in anger, but this girl actually took it seriously.

Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Ran with a complicated expression, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After a while, he handed her a few tissues, watched her wipe her tears, and then turned and left the bedroom.

Perhaps Lin Ran would have recovered faster if he hadn't been there?

This matter seems to have ended without resolution again. Xiao Jingchen never mentioned what happened that day again, and Lin Ran never asked anything more. However, it always seemed as if there was a wall between the two of them, and they acted like familiar strangers when they were together.

Xiao Jingchen disliked this feeling very much.

Ye Chuchu didn't miss this obvious change, but she couldn't find out the reason for it no matter how hard she tried.

However, she wasn't one to sit idly by and wait for her fate. After thinking it through, she sneaked into Xiao Jingchen's office when no one was looking.

The man, who usually buried himself in his work, was not working this time, but staring blankly at the documents on his desk.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Ye Chuchu's eyes. She knew that no matter what the reason, Xiao Jingchen was thinking about that bitch Lin Ran right now.

"Brother Jingchen, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood?"

Ye Chuchu suddenly spoke up. Xiao Jingchen seemed to only then notice her, glancing up at her before lowering his head again.

"Is something wrong?"

Ye Chuchu almost lost her smile at that distant tone, but she quickly remembered the purpose of her visit and leaned in with a grin.

“Brother Jingchen, you can tell me whatever troubles you have. After all, I’m a girl, and I’m always more thoughtful than you boys.”

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she pretended to be shy and flicked her hair, but unfortunately, Xiao Jingchen didn't notice it.

On the contrary, it was her words that attracted him.

Xiao Jingchen seemed to hesitate for a moment, tapping his finger lightly on the table twice before speaking.

"How do you think you can build closer relationships with others?"

Upon hearing this question, Ye Chuchu nearly tore her bag to shreds. She used all her strength to control herself from uttering a curse.

"Brother Jingchen, do you believe me? I can make you and my sister reconcile."

"After all, I am her sister. We have lived together for so long and we know each other's interests quite well."

"is it?"

Xiao Jingchen seemed to be thinking of something, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. However, he had no other choice at the moment, so he could only nod.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

"First of all, no girl can resist jewelry and bags. I can help Jingchen think of what to buy."

Xiao Jingchen did not answer directly, but instead rested his chin on his hand and thought about it carefully.

When he went out to inspect work, he did see quite a few women who were overjoyed to receive a bag.

This seems to be a good approach.

Having made a start, Xiao Jingchen relaxed considerably around Ye Chuchu, and the atmosphere between them was even better than before, as they chatted back and forth.

However calm he appeared in front of Ye Chuchu, the hatred in his heart was immense.

Why should Lin Ran get all of this? It should all belong to her.

“Brother Jingchen, I happen to be free this weekend, so we can go buy a bag for my sister together.”

"And cosmetics, you probably don't know anything about these, so it's perfect to have me with you."

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she felt that her reason was perfect, but she did not expect that Xiao Jingchen would glance at her with some doubt and raise his eyebrows slightly.

“I can take her there directly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chuchu's face changed with jealousy. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"That won't do. Girls love surprises. If Brother Jingchen takes her along, won't there be no surprise?"

"Besides, my sister rarely goes to those kinds of places. It would be bad if she couldn't buy the right things because she's not familiar with them."

Ye Chuchu unconsciously acted coquettishly, and seeing that Xiao Jingchen was still hesitating, she added fuel to the fire.

"Besides, my sister must be very busy this weekend. Isn't the secretariat supposed to require overtime?"

Xiao Jingchen was taken aback upon hearing this, and felt somewhat annoyed.

I should have assigned this task to another department.

With no other choice, Xiao Jingchen had no choice but to agree to Ye Chuchu's suggestion.

Over the weekend, Ye Chuchu carefully selected her clothes and put on exquisite makeup. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was going out on a date.

Hearing the sound of brakes at the door, she stood up excitedly, ran a few steps, then suddenly remembered something, slowed down, and tidied her messy hair.

"Excuse me, Brother Jingchen, I let you..."

She opened the car door shyly, only to find that Xiao Jingchen was not in the car at all, but Zhou Qing was sitting in the driver's seat.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Miss Ye, please get in the car. Mr. Xiao is already waiting inside."

Ye Chuchu was somewhat annoyed, but she couldn't say anything. She could only vent her anger on the car door, slamming it shut with extra force.

With a loud bang, Zhou Qing, who was sitting in the front, was startled and started driving much faster.

Ye Chuchu was busy preparing in the morning and didn't even have a sip of water, let alone eat anything. Now, being jostled around, she felt dizzy and nauseous. After getting off the car, she didn't even look at anyone and hid to the side to dry heave.

When she straightened up after a while, she saw Xiao Jingchen standing next to her, and her body immediately stiffened on the spot.

Could it be that Xiao Jingchen saw her just now?

"Alright? Let's go then."

Having waited for a long time, Xiao Jingchen sounded impatient. Without even glancing at Ye Chuchu, he took a long stride and left her far behind.

Ye Chuchu could only grit her teeth and follow behind him, almost running all the way to catch up.

The two went straight to the top floor without stopping. Everything there was ridiculously expensive, at least for ordinary people.

In Xiao Jingchen's eyes, these were no different from potatoes in the market.

He stood in the store and looked around, but couldn't see anything different about the bags. It was then that he seemed to remember that there was someone following him.
