The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 311 We Start Over

These were all normal things, but compared to Lin Ran and the others, the other groups couldn't help but feel ashamed and anxious.

But the more anxious they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

In the end, the teacher felt that there wasn't enough time and had no choice but to stop the competition.

With Xiao Jingchen's addition, they undoubtedly won first place in all events every year.

Standing on the podium, the little guy couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Besides the smile, there was also a hint of pride.

Lin Ran felt a pang of sadness in her heart as she read this.

Although it may not be said normally every year, there are bound to be some kids in school who just like to be sarcastic and mock others.

I wonder if this little guy has ever been mistreated at school.

but……

Lin Ran secretly glanced at Xiao Jingchen.

After today, no one should do that anymore.

Even after the sports meet ended, Niannian was still very excited, talking non-stop on the way home.

Xiao Jingchen didn't find it annoying at all; he responded to every single word Nian Nian said earnestly.

Everything is fine.

If she hadn't clung to Xiao Jingchen's arms year after year, but instead obediently let him hold her, she might have been happy.

Back home, Xiao Jingchen naturally stayed.

Lin Ran was very accommodating and personally cooked a whole table of food for her son.

This was the first time Xiao Jingchen had eaten these dishes since Lin Ran returned.

Feeling the familiar taste, his heart warmed and was filled with satisfaction.

The consequence of being very active during the day is that I fall asleep right after eating every year.

Lin Ran gently helped her take off her coat and tuck it into the bed before going downstairs.

Xiao Jingchen had not left yet.

Without Nian Nian mediating between the two, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Xiao Jingchen did not leave this time.

Lin Ran was like a snail; he would probe her a little, and she would shrink back a little.

He couldn't stand this kind of life.

Perhaps it would be most appropriate to lay it all out directly.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Jingchen grabbed Lin Ran's wrist.

"Stop avoiding me."

Before Lin Ran could struggle, he spoke in a muffled voice, his slightly hoarse tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Lin Ran, do you know how I've lived these past years?"

“I dream about you every day, I dream about you hitting me and scolding me.”

“I pray every day that you are still alive.”

"Finally, one day, God heard my voice and brought me good news."

Xiao Jingchen paused, his eyes reddening.

Lin Ran had seen Xiao Jingchen in many different ways, but she had never seen him like this before.

Fragile.

"I know you're still alive, but I don't dare go over there."

"Everything I did to you keeps replaying in my mind every day, and I live in pain every day."

"I'll stop looking for you. As long as you're doing well, I can endure the endless loneliness."

"But you're back, Lin Ran. I know I've been very unreasonable, but could you... could you give me another chance? I really can't live without you."

Lin Ran didn't struggle this time; she listened silently to Xiao Jingchen's words.

It turns out he already knew he was still alive.

For some reason, Lin Ran did not feel resistant; in fact, she even felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps she was like Xiao Jingchen, except that she had hidden that feeling deep in a corner of her heart and locked it away.

But Xiao Jingchen's words forcefully unlocked the lock in the corner of her heart, releasing her love that could no longer be concealed.

But... can all those things that happened before really be treated as if they never happened?

Lin Ran asked herself this question in her heart.

"How about we start over?"

Xiao Jingchen saw a glimmer of hope in Lin Ran's eyes.

He asked impatiently, but only received Lin Ran's silence.

Xiao Jingchen did not feel disappointed.

Lin Ran did not reject him, which was the best outcome.

"I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the time. Although he didn't really want to leave, considering that Lin Ran needed time to think things over, he steeled himself and left.

Just as the door was closing, Lin Ran suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Jingchen".

"Can I go see my mother this weekend?"

Although he knew that Xiao Jingchen had never told his mother about these things, his grandfather had sent people over to take good care of her.

But after so long, Lin Ran had had this idea ever since she returned.

Moreover, neither Niannian nor Suisui had ever met their maternal grandmother.

Xiao Jingchen paused for a few seconds, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

But he nodded.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements and come pick you up."

Just as Lin Ran was about to say that she could buy a ticket to go, Xiao Jingchen slammed the door shut, cutting off any possibility of her refusing.

Xiao Jingchen did not return to the villa after leaving.

Perhaps it's true that he hasn't been back for a long time.

He's either at Lin Ran's place or in the office every day.

Even though it was already late at night, Xiao Jingchen still returned here.

I'm going to accompany Lin Ran to the island this weekend, so I need to process these documents in advance.

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, Xiao Jingchen felt no fatigue whatsoever; in fact, he was even more motivated than usual.

Zhou Qing was very responsible and categorized the documents and placed them there.

Xiao Jingchen handled it very easily and resolved the issue in no time.

When Zhou Qing arrived at the company early in the morning and saw the office lights were on, she panicked for a moment. She ran in and saw Xiao Jingchen sitting there, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Mr. Xiao? Why are you here so early..."

Zhou Qing was about to ask why Xiao Jingchen had arrived so early, but after glancing at the documents on the table, she realized that he had been working on them all night in the office.

"Mr. Xiao, there is a meeting at 2 PM. You can rest for a bit now."

Xiao Jingchen nodded, and just as he was about to go to the lounge, he suddenly remembered something and tapped the table with his finger.

"Notify those branch offices that they are not allowed to cooperate with the Ye family in any further ways."

Zhou Qing was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask why, Xiao Jingchen had already turned around and gone to the lounge, closing the door behind him.

He hadn't forgotten Sui Sui's current situation. Although he felt he was in good health, he needed to rest, even if it was just for his son's sake.

Zhou Qing stood there stunned for a few seconds, then resignedly sent out the notification.

As a CEO, it's understandable that he can be a little capricious.

Time flies, and it's the weekend.

While explaining things, Lin Ran styled Niannian's hair into a pleasing hairstyle.

"Niannian, do you remember what Mommy told you?"

"Mommy, you've said it so many times, and Niannian really remembers it."

Lin Ran clipped the little flower in her hair. Perhaps because she hadn't seen Lin Qing for so long, she felt a little nervous.
