The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 298 Take care of me for the rest of my life

Hearing the noise outside the door, Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips nervously, pretending not to know anything as he continued working on the documents.

Lin Ran knocked on the door, but walked in without waiting for Xiao Jingchen's reply.

The office was no different from when she left.

Even the table is still there.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lin Ran's eyes. She lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions, stood in front of the desk, and tightened her grip under her sleeves.

"Xiao Jingchen, aren't you curious why I came back?"

Lin Ran, recalling Sui Sui's relapse, took a deep breath and directly stated her purpose.

"Sui Sui is sick, and it's very serious."

"Leukemia, only your bone marrow is a match for his."

Although Xiao Jingchen already knew the reason, he still felt a little sad when he heard Lin Ran say it so bluntly.

He suppressed his emotions, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table a few times, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Lin Ran's heart sank slightly as she looked at him.

Xiao Jingchen was indeed unwilling.

Lin Ran clenched her fists, just about to continue speaking, when she looked up and met Xiao Jingchen's deep eyes and the faint smile on his lips.

"I can grant your request."

Before Lin Ran could be happy, Xiao Jingchen sighed with a troubled expression.

"But what if my body becomes weak after donating bone marrow?"

"As you know, I have to take care of the Xiao family. It's such a big company that I have to manage all by myself, which is very tiring."

Whether it was Lin Ran's imagination or not, she could detect a hint of coquetry in Xiao Jingchen's tone.

"how do you want to do it?"

Lin Ran asked through gritted teeth.

Xiao Jingchen is indeed a cold-blooded person; he wouldn't even save his own son.

At this moment, Xiao Jingchen did not notice anything amiss with Lin Ran. He suppressed his somewhat agitated emotions and took out a document from the drawer.

Meeting Lin Ran's questioning gaze, Xiao Jingchen coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his lips to cover his slightly upturned lips.

"Look at this."

Lin Ran took it with some confusion, glanced at it a few times, and then her expression changed. She looked at Xiao Jingchen with a face full of shame and anger.

"what do you mean?"

"It's just like what you see."

Lin Ran took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

She threw the documents on the table, her face still looking rather grim.

"I can give you money."

"I'm willing to pay any price, Xiao Jingchen. It's just bone marrow; it won't harm your body."

Lin Ran's voice was hoarse, revealing obvious vulnerability, and countless pleas were choked in her throat.

Do I look like someone who's short of money?

Xiao Jingchen spoke in a low voice. He spoke very quickly and without thinking. After realizing that his words were somewhat rash, he coughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.

He paused for a moment, then spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"I need to plan for my future."

"I understand, I'll sign."

Without further hesitation, Lin Ran picked up the pen and signed her name.

"Is this okay?"

"Well, it's alright."

Xiao Jingchen could no longer suppress the smile on his lips and locked the file in the innermost drawer.

"Don't worry, now that we've agreed, I'll work out hard and be ready to have the surgery at any time."

Seeing Xiao Jingchen's proactive manner, Lin Ran keenly sensed that something was amiss.

bang bang bang-

The knocking interrupted the delicate atmosphere between the two. Xiao Jingchen frowned in displeasure, just about to tell them to get lost, when the door was opened.

The person who walked in was Zhou Qing.

He walked in carrying a glass of plain water, with a few goji berries floating in it.

He glanced at their expressions discreetly and asked with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Xiao, why haven't you been drinking coffee lately? Are you taking care of your health?"

After saying this, Zhou Qing turned and left the office.

It was as if they really just came to bring a glass of water.

As soon as Zhou Qing stepped out of the office, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.

He truly deserves to be President Xiao's most capable assistant; he even noticed such a small matter.

Inside the office, Lin Ran stared at the glass of water for a long time, then suddenly understood something and looked directly at Xiao Jingchen.

"You knew that a long time ago, didn't you?"

"You already had a plan, yet you still teased me like that. Was it fun, Xiao Jingchen?"

Lin Ran's voice trembled slightly, and her face showed a hint of humiliation.

She was like a fool, being played like this, yet still blindly walking into the trap.

"Xiao Jingchen, say something."

Across the desk, Lin Ran stared intently at Xiao Jingchen, her face chillingly cold.

Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, walked around the desk, and hugged Lin Ran tightly.

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

Xiao Jingchen's voice was tinged with vulnerability as he gently rested his head on Lin Ran's shoulder, his eyes filled with pain.

“I can’t live without you, so I have to do this. Don’t worry, our child will be fine.”

"I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you, Lin Ran. Please give me another chance."

In Lin Ran's eyes, Xiao Jingchen had always been a tough guy; when had she ever seen him so vulnerable?

In a corner where no one could see, Lin Ran's heart softened.

She closed her eyes, carefully hiding any trace of soft-heartedness, and firmly pushed Xiao Jingchen away.

"Don't worry, now that I've signed the contract, I will act in accordance with its contents and will absolutely not breach it."

Xiao Jingchen was somewhat dissatisfied with this businesslike attitude, but since he had arranged everything, he could only swallow his pain.

"If Mr. Xiao has nothing else to say, then I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Lin Ran turned and left. Xiao Jingchen looked at her back and panicked. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Before the person in his arms could get angry, Xiao Jingchen quickly lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips.

"Collect some interest first."

Xiao Jingchen's expression remained unchanged, as if he wasn't the one who had just forcibly kissed someone.

If you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of his bright red earlobes.

Lin Ran froze for a few seconds, then turned and left, her face flushed, her steps hurried as if she were running away.

Zhou Qing, who was guarding the door, glanced at Lin Ran who had run away, and then at Xiao Jingchen, who was beaming with joy inside the house. He felt even more smug.

Shouldn't they give him a bonus?

"Zhou Qing, come in."

Xiao Jingchen's voice suddenly rang out, and Zhou Qing had never found that voice so attractive before. She almost couldn't wait to go inside.

A minute later, Zhou Qing came out, but the excitement he had shown when he went in was gone.
