The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 93 can be stated directly.

Xiao Jingchen paused for a few seconds, then clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, let's just say you were scared by me."

After saying this, Xiao Jingchen naturally took the bowl from Lin Ran's hand, casually placed it on the table beside him, and touched Lin Ran's forehead with his other hand.

"Hmm, it seems the fever has subsided, and she looks much better."

Lin Ran was startled by Xiao Jingchen's actions. She sat there stiffly, her pupils slightly dilated with a hint of shock.

When Zhou Qing first heard that Xiao Jingchen was taking care of her, she was somewhat incredulous. After all, how could a man as noble and elegant as him possibly take care of someone else?

But now, seeing Xiao Jingchen's practiced movements, she had no choice but to believe it.

"Why is your face still red? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Seeing Lin Ran staring blankly at him without saying a word, Xiao Jingchen frowned, his expression grave.

"Um, thank you for taking care of me last night."

After waiting for a long time, Lin Ran spoke hesitantly, her eyes lowered and her face slightly flushed. She shrank into the quilt, only her head sticking out.

Xiao Jingchen seemed to have thought of something, and with a slight smile, he sat down on the edge of the bed without any hesitation.

"You're welcome, but..."

"If you have so many complaints about me, you don't have to say thank you if you really don't want to."

Xiao Jingchen's tone was sarcastic, but his words left Lin Ran stunned for a long time, her mind blank.

The next second, his face turned bright red!

She seemed to have said a lot of bad things about Xiao Jingchen last night; he probably won't hold a grudge.

Lin Ran cautiously raised her eyes, only to meet his teasing gaze.

"So what if I said it! Am I not telling the truth?"

Since she had already said even harsher things, Lin Ran simply stopped pretending and lay sprawled on the bed, looking like she was at his mercy.

"I'll let it go since you're sick."

Xiao Jingchen twitched the corner of his mouth, gave a soft hum, and handed over the prepared medicine. He smiled with satisfaction after watching Lin Ran obediently take it.

"I want to eat an apple."

Xiao Jingchen had just put down his water glass when he heard Lin Ran's voice. He frowned, looked down, and caught a glimpse of the undisguised smile on her lips.

Is this little girl holding a grudge from last time?

Xiao Jingchen responded without changing his expression and called a servant to bring in an apple.

Hearing the sound, Lin Ran quietly sat up, her eyes unconsciously glancing at the man peeling an apple beside the sofa.

Even when doing the most ordinary things, Xiao Jingchen's movements were full of nobility, as if he were holding not an apple, but a precious work of art.

Before long, a peeled apple was handed to Lin Ran. The white and tender flesh looked delicious.

only……

Lin Ran glanced quietly at the unpeeled apple on the table, then looked at the one in her hand; it seemed a little too small.

Xiao Jingchen caught a glimpse of her gaze and, feeling somewhat guilty, blocked the trash can.

"Don't eat?"

With a hint of doubt in his magnetic voice, Lin Ran subconsciously popped the apple into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste instantly filled her mouth.

"tasty?"

Seeing Lin Ran's satisfied expression, Xiao Jingchen felt a strong urge to bite her, and he actually leaned over and took a bite.

"It's really good."

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's unchanging expression, Lin Ran took a deep breath, but her pounding heart still couldn't calm down.

Meanwhile, outside the master bedroom door, Ye Chuchu was practically pressed against it, listening to the sounds inside, her jealousy almost making her grind her teeth to dust.

That shameless Lin Ran, why is she always trying to seduce Brother Xiao!

The laughter inside the room was like sharp swords, stimulating the softest part of Ye Chuchu's heart.

Hearing footsteps approaching from inside the house, Ye Chuchu could only suppress her resentment and turn back to her room.

The reason Lin Ran and Brother Xiao are so close is probably just because they work together.

For the first time, Ye Chuchu, who was always lazy, had the idea of ​​going to work at a company.

The next morning, as soon as Xiao Jingchen came downstairs, he saw Ye Chuchu busy in the living room.

"Brother Xiao, you're awake."

Ye Chuchu smiled and leaned over affectionately, holding a steaming cup of soy milk in her hands.

"This is something I prepared especially for you. Would you like to try some?"

Faced with Ye Chuchu's overtures, Xiao Jingchen merely frowned, walked around her, and sat down at the dining table.

"I never drink soy milk."

He paused, then looked up at Ye Chuchu, his tone seemingly puzzled.

"You don't need to get up so early; the servants will prepare breakfast."

Ye Chuchu could barely maintain her smile. The cup of soy milk she was holding looked like a joke. After a long while, she stiffly put it aside and forced a smile.

"Brother Xiao, you and my sister have to go out to work every day, and I'm so bored at home."

"Can I also work for the Xiao family?"

Ye Chuchu deliberately made her voice sweet and coquettish, but Xiao Jingchen only glanced at her indifferently, his tone devoid of emotion.

"It's okay if you don't go to work."

Ye Chuchu gritted her teeth, her desire to go to the Xiao family growing even stronger.

"Brother Xiao, I really don't want to stay at home anymore."

After a pause, Ye Chuchu looked at Xiao Jingchen with a wronged expression.

"I want to go to work like a normal person, otherwise I always have nightmares when I'm alone at home. Brother Xiao, please say yes."

Xiao Jingchen paused, put down the newspaper in his hand, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally nodding.

"Then come over here and be my assistant in the office. You don't need to sign in or clock out."

Ye Chuchu was stunned for a second, then overjoyed.

She knew that Brother Xiao still cared about her. He not only helped her solve the problems of her family company, but also made her work so easy. What else could this be but liking her?

Zhou Qing, who had just walked in, looked somewhat bewildered.

What did he just hear?

Mr. Xiao has actually hired a new assistant. Is he going to be fired?

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with resentment, and even if Xiao Jingchen wanted to ignore it, he couldn't, so he could only turn around and meet his gaze.

"Mr. Xiao..."

Before Zhou Qing could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Jingchen suddenly stand up and stride over.

"What are you standing there for? Come and drive."

Despite the casual remark, Zhou Qing subconsciously followed, only snapping back to reality when he stepped on the gas.

Why is Mr. Xiao in such a hurry to leave? Could it be to avoid someone?

Zhou Qing quietly turned her head, glanced at Xiao Jingchen's expression, and silently shook her head in her heart.

How could someone like President Xiao possibly avoid others? He must be overthinking it.

At this moment, Ye Chuchu, who had just changed her clothes and come downstairs, looked at the empty living room and fell into confusion.
