The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 301 One of each flavor

Lin Niannian was overjoyed and clapped her chubby little hands as she shouted.

"Yay! Ice cream! I want to eat lots and lots of it!"

Xiao Jingchen felt a pang of sadness as he watched his little daughter so happy just to get ice cream.

"Niannian, have you never had ice cream before?"

Lin Niannian was stunned for a moment. When she met Xiao Jingchen's worried expression, her eyes darted around, and she spoke pitifully.

"Waaah, yes, I've never had ice cream before."

Xiao Jingchen paused, his gaze towards Niannian growing even more tender.

He slowly pressed the accelerator and drove Niannian to an ice cream shop.

"Let's go, today Dad... Uncle will treat you to a good meal, how about it?"

"Uncle is the best!"

Lin Niannian waved her little hand excitedly, her eyes full of excitement.

You should know that because she is still young, Lin Ran rarely lets her eat cold things, especially ice cream.

Even if they do eat, they can only manage a few bites.

Now that Lin Ran isn't here, she can finally eat her fill.

Lin Niannian nestled obediently on Xiao Jingchen's shoulder, but her eyes were already intently selecting items from the freezer.

Strawberry, mango, and cherry flavors!

What am I going to do? I want to eat them all!

Xiao Jingchen sat down with Lin Niannian in his arms and handed her the menu, letting her choose for herself.

"Take a look and see which one you'd like to eat. There are pictures below; you can choose whichever you like."

"Thank you uncle."

Looking at the obedient and well-behaved Niannian, Xiao Jingchen wished he could give her his heart.

Ke Lin stared at those colorful pictures for a long time, but couldn't pick out a single one.

Xiao Jingchen frowned and took the menu.

"One of each flavor, please."

The waiter next to him was taken aback. He was about to say that children shouldn't eat so much, but when he saw Xiao Jingchen's indifferent and aloof appearance, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

It's probably best to stay out of the business of wealthy people.

Lin Niannian originally thought that Xiao Jingchen wouldn't let her eat because she was too slow in choosing, but when she suddenly heard those words, her eyes widened and she stared at him in surprise.

The surprise and admiration in her eyes were almost tangible.

Xiao Jingchen unconsciously straightened his back and looked at the little girl with a smug expression.

"How about you try one flavor at a time in a little while?"

"Yes, Uncle, you're so kind."

Every year, her eyes sparkled as she waited for the ice cream to arrive.

That expectant little face made Xiao Jingchen's heart tremble violently again.

Soon, all sorts of ice cream were served.

Lin Niannian didn't start eating right away; instead, she stared at the ice cream for a long time.

Just as Xiao Jingchen was about to ask her what she was doing, he saw the little girl suddenly pick up a cup of strawberry ice cream and place it in front of him.

"Uncle will eat it too. He loves strawberry flavor the most every year. Give it to Uncle."

Xiao Jingchen was stunned, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.

There were even tears glistening in her eyes.

As expected of Xiao Jingchen's daughter, she already knows how to care for her father at such a young age.

After handing over the ice cream, Lin Niannian started eating her own.

One bite of chocolate, one bite of mango, and then one bite of pineapple.

Lin Niannian quickly became addicted to the cool and smooth texture.

Xiao Jingchen, standing to the side, didn't even realize that something was wrong. By the time he reacted, Niannian had already eaten half of the ice cream on the table.

He quickly snatched the spoon from Niannian's hand.

Nian Nian, who was enjoying her meal, was now without her "tool of the trade" and looked at the culprit with a disgruntled expression.

"Uncle, I want to eat more."

Xiao Jingchen's heart fluttered at the cuteness. He paused for a few seconds, but still didn't return the spoon.

"Alright, Niannian, we've eaten enough today. If you like it, I'll bring you here again next time, okay?"

Xiao Jingchen glanced at the time; Lin Ran should be getting off work soon. Perhaps he could go pick her up?

Having made up his mind, Xiao Jingchen picked up the little guy who was reluctant to part with the ice cream and got into the car.

"Niannian, how about I take you to pick up Mommy?"

Hearing him say that, Niannian's attention was immediately drawn to him.

She has never been to the place where Lin Ran works now.

"Okay! I'm going to find Mommy."

Xiao Jingchen smiled with satisfaction upon hearing the answer and drove her to FG's company.

This is what the little girl said she wanted to go find her mother; it's not that he insisted on going.

On the way, Xiao Jingchen's mood improved considerably, and he parked his car conspicuously at the entrance of FG, ensuring that Lin Ran would see it as soon as she came out.

He squinted at the building in front of him, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

How can this place compare to the Xiao family? Why would Lin Ran prefer to come here rather than go back to work at the Xiao family?

The thought had just popped into Xiao Jingchen's head when he suddenly remembered something and smiled helplessly.

It seems like he's the one who angered the person and made them leave.

He glanced at his watch, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.

It's almost time to get off work.

Upstairs in her office, Lin Ran glanced at the time and sighed softly.

She regretted sending that message.

Will nothing bad happen if Xiao Jingchen takes the child away?

The more Lin Ran thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

This unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of two little girls nearby.

Just as Li Yinyin was about to ask a question after watching for a while, another voice rang out even faster.

"Ranran, what's wrong? Why are you so distracted?"

Lin Ran looked up and met Xiao Lu's somewhat worried gaze, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Oh, I see. Then you should go home and rest as soon as you get off work. You've been quite busy lately."

Huang Xiaolu had no doubts. She nodded, gave a few instructions, and then lowered her head to begin her work.

Although she knew she got into FG on her own merit, others always looked down on her because of Lin Ran and Su Yi's relationship.

She wanted to prove to those people that she, Huang Xiaolu, had real strength!

The moment she left work, Lin Ran picked up her bag and stood up.

She had to hurry back to see how Niannian was doing. Xiao Jingchen didn't seem like the type to take care of a child at all.

It would be bad if something happened again every year.

Thinking this, Lin Ran quickened her pace considerably.

Li Yinyin watched her leave in a hurry, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She knew very well that Lin Ran would never leave the company in such a hurry if there was nothing wrong with her.

Could something really have happened at home?

For some reason, after realizing what had happened, Li Yinyin followed Lin Ran out of the office.
