The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 296 Godmother's Hug

Su Yi nodded, but before he could agree, Li Yinyin, who was standing on the other side, suddenly spoke up.

"I remember that newlyweds usually have a meal together. Are you going over there to eat now?"

"I'll go too."

As she finished speaking, the group exchanged awkward glances, none of them daring to refuse.

In the end, it was Su Yi who spoke first.

"Ah, that's fine, but our group dinner might be on the weekend, not today."

Although she outwardly agreed, Su Yi was subtly hinting at her intentions, but Li Yinyin acted as if she didn't understand anything and followed the four of them downstairs.

Downstairs, she hesitated between the two cars, and was about to get into Fu Sinian's car when she was stopped.

Fu Sinian's expression turned slightly cold, and he raised his arm to block her way.

"Lin Ran and I have some things to do. You can get in Su Yi's car."

Li Yinyin's face stiffened, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Ran. Only after realizing that Lin Ran hadn't noticed her at all did she reluctantly let go of her hand and sit directly in the passenger seat of Su Yi's car.

Now it was Su Yi's turn to be dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yinyin spoke up with an innocent look on her face.

"I get a little carsick, so I think it should be fine if I sit in the front."

"Little Deer, is there a problem with you sitting in the back?"

"No...no."

"Never mind, Su Yi, I'll just sit in the back."

Huang Xiaolu didn't want to argue with anyone over such trivial matters, so she silently opened the car door and sat in the back.

During this time, she also glanced at Su Yi silently, signaling to him with her eyes to calm down.

In any case, what should have been a nice dinner for four turned into a dinner for five.

Of course, that doesn't include that little one from year after year.

After leaving kindergarten, she kept clamoring for ice cream, making a fuss the whole way. It wasn't until we finally arrived at the restaurant that Lin Ran bought her one.

From the moment Nian Nian entered the room, Li Yinyin's surprised gaze never left him, until the little guy raised his head with a displeased expression.

"Auntie, why are you staring at me? Do you want some ice cream too?"

The soft, sweet voice brought Li Yinyin back to her senses.

She had no idea that Lin Ran not only had a child, but that the child was already so big.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up a piece of candy from the table and squeezed past the little deer sitting next to Nian Nian.

"Little sister, would you like some candy?"

The moment Niannian saw the deer being pushed away, her expression changed. Although she was young, it didn't mean she didn't understand anything.

On the contrary, she is very protective of her own.

"Auntie, I don't eat candy."

Year after year, she loudly rejected her, paused, and then reached out her hand to the little deer that had been pushed to the back.

"Godmother, give me a hug!"

Xiao Lu paused for a second, then noticed Nian Nian's urging gaze and hurriedly pulled her into her arms.

Li Yinyin stood there, her face burning with pain as if she had been slapped several times.

She bit her lip, forcing back the tears welling in her eyes.

"Um, Sister Ranran, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be leaving now."

"Not eating anymore?"

"No, I'm leaving first."

Li Yinyin walked out of the room in a disheveled state. As soon as she closed the door, she heard laughter coming from inside.

Suddenly, I stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, overwhelmed by shame, indignation, and embarrassment.

She bit her lip hard and was about to leave when a woman stopped her.

"Hey, are you angry?"

"Don't you really want to teach Lin Ran a lesson?"

Li Yinyin looked up and caught sight of a somewhat familiar woman standing there.

As if bewitched, she nodded and followed the man into another room.

It has to be said that the atmosphere in the private room instantly became harmonious after the unfamiliar people left.

The four of them ate and chatted until their bellies were round and full before leaving.

When Lin Ran got home, she saw a dark figure at the door from afar.

I initially thought it was a stray animal, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was a person sitting there.

Xiao Jingchen sat there somewhat disheveled. Hearing the voice, he raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Are you back?"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ran's heart softened slightly, but the next second her face turned cold again.

What are you doing here again?

Xiao Jingchen smiled slightly. Because he had maintained the same position for too long, his hand even staggered as he stood up.

"It was too late yesterday, and there were still many things I didn't get to tell you."

Lin Ran didn't want to have any more contact with Xiao Jingchen, but it was the perfect time for a stroll, and many neighbors were looking in their direction.

She hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Go in."

A look of joy flashed across Xiao Jingchen's face as he eagerly went inside, afraid that Lin Ran might change her mind at any moment.

Niannian originally wanted to play with Xiao Jingchen for a while, but Lin Ran forcefully carried her upstairs and wouldn't let her come down no matter what.

After finishing all this, Lin Ran went downstairs and saw Xiao Jingchen sitting properly on the sofa.

He doesn't look like a CEO who's strategizing and planning from the outside; he seems more like a young, inexperienced boy.

"Tell me, what's going on this time?"

Lin Ran's extremely cold attitude left Xiao Jingchen somewhat at a loss. After a long while, he finally took out a black card and handed it over.

"This card..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ran snatched the card away and threw it forcefully.

"Enough, Xiao Jingchen, how long are you going to humiliate me?"

Lin Ran gasped for breath, her eyes filled with pain.

"I've already told you not to come looking for me anymore, not to come looking for me anymore, why won't you let me go?"

Xiao Jingchen's pupils contracted slightly, and he stood up nervously.

"No, you've misunderstood me."

"I'm just making amends for my guilt, Lin Ran, please don't reject me."

"I just want you to live a better life, that's all, I absolutely didn't mean anything else."

"Live better?"

Lin Ran curled her lips in a mocking smile, walked directly to the door, and yanked it open.

"Since you want me to feel better, then get out now. I don't want to see you."

Xiao Jingchen naturally did not respond, standing there motionless.

Just when Lin Ran thought he was going to shamelessly stay, Xiao Jingchen suddenly moved and walked out with heavy steps.

"as you wish."

Meeting Xiao Jingchen's pained and sad eyes, Lin Ran even felt a little unable to resist wanting to speak up and ask him to stay.

But she just clenched her fists and said nothing.

Watching Xiao Jingchen's figure disappear from sight, she hardened her heart and closed the door.

She absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.

Upstairs, Nian Nian peeked out, looking at the scene below, a strange emotion flashing in her dark pupils.
