The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 245 Giving birth

Xiao Jingchen thought he had made himself clear enough, but to his surprise, Ye Chuchu changed her usual laziness and went to work on time every day.

He even brings breakfast with him every day.

Even though Xiao Jingchen hadn't eaten a single bite, she wasn't angry at all.

"Brother Jingchen, this is the red bean porridge I made for you today. Remember to drink some."

Ye Chuchu carefully placed the bowl on Xiao Jingchen's desk, ignoring his expression, and turned to leave the office.

"Mr. Xiao, this porridge..."

Zhou Qing asked cautiously, and seeing Xiao Jingchen's furrowed brows, she understood his meaning and threw the things away untouched.

The porridge in her hand smelled delicious. Zhou Qing sighed slightly. For several months in a row, Ye Chuchu had been sending different kinds of porridge every day.

If he didn't know what kind of person she was, he would have really thought that this woman was in love with President Xiao.

However, Zhou Qing knew these things, but the rest of the company did not.

Because Ye Chuchu deliberately acted weak, many people knew that she was deeply in love with the president of Xiao's Group and had been sending him food for several months in a row.

Furthermore, at her behest, many marketing accounts began to make wild guesses about their relationship.

As for Lin Ran?

Who would care about someone who is already dead?

Xiao Jingchen was fully aware of these matters, yet he did not intervene.

They even allowed Ye Chuchu to do these things.

During the day, he worked as usual, but when he returned to the empty villa at night, Xiao Jingchen realized what true pain was.

He couldn't find Lin Ran anymore; it was as if that woman had truly vanished from his world.

In the bedroom, Xiao Jingchen didn't even turn on the lights, but simply opened the balcony window, letting the autumn wind and moonlight stream into the room.

He sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa, with cigarette butts and empty bottles scattered around his feet.

Xiao Jingchen raised his hand, and in his hand was the necklace he had given to Lin Ran before, the light blue diamond sparkling in the moonlight.

Outside, a figure flashed past the doorway, glanced at the scene inside the house, and quickly left the villa.

Back in F country, Old Master Xiao frowned deeply again as he looked at the message sent by his subordinate.

"That brat has even started drinking heavily, what good is he!"

Butler Xiao glanced at the contents of his phone and helped the old man catch his breath.

"Master, please don't be angry. In the end, you still care about the young master, otherwise you wouldn't be refraining from destroying his hopes now."

The old man sighed deeply upon hearing this.

"Yes, but he did such a thing, how can I have the face to bring it up to Ranran?"

Even Butler Xiao couldn't come up with a useful solution to this problem, and could only stand silently beside the old man.

"That brat, he's driving me crazy! How can he be so brainless?"

After a while, the old man cursed a few more times in annoyance, and immediately put his phone away when he heard the voice behind him.

"Grandpa, the cake is ready. Would you like to come and have a taste?"

Lin Ran poked her head in from outside the door and winked at the old man.

"cake?"

The old man's expression changed, and his eyes brightened considerably. He couldn't wait to follow Lin Ran to the restaurant.

He glanced at it, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"This is the cake you were talking about?"

"Yes, it's just a change of ingredients. Grandpa, let's eat together."

Lin Ran nodded without changing her expression, and carefully picked out the stewed chicken pieces one by one, piling them into the shape of a small cake.

"Grandpa, look, isn't this a cake?"

"You can't refuse. The doctor said you need to eat more nutritious food right now. You wouldn't refuse to eat what I've worked so hard to make, would you?"

Lin Ran knew the old man's weakness, so she deliberately blinked and stared at him.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it, alright? I'll eat it now, don't look at me like that."

Lin Ran then laughed, and the grandfather and grandson finished the chicken, taking turns eating it. Even Butler Xiao was pulled into eating a few bites.

"It tastes good, doesn't it?"

As a chef, the thing I love most is seeing my food completely devoured.

Lin Ran nodded proudly to the two elderly people, stood up, and was about to start clearing the table when her expression suddenly changed.

"Well……"

The sudden pain in her stomach made her cry out in pain, and her limbs immediately lost their strength.

But Lin Ran was still worried about her child, so she didn't dare to fall directly to the ground. Instead, she held onto the table and slowly sat down on the sofa.

"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

The old man panicked when he saw the person who was perfectly fine a second ago suddenly turn pale with pain.

Butler Xiao was also extremely anxious and frantically called for someone to drive the car.

"Let's take her to the hospital first; she might be about to give birth."

Seeing that neither the grandfather nor the grandson had the ability to think, Butler Xiao calmly made arrangements.

They found someone to carry Lin Ran to the car, and they arrived at the hospital safely.

Lin Ran was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

Her once rosy face was now frighteningly pale, and the sweat on her forehead and cheeks was enough to show the pain she was enduring.

"Grandpa, it hurts so much..."

In a daze, Lin Ran grabbed the person closest to her, her voice filled with pain.

"Hurry up, drive faster!"

The old man kept urging him on.

The man, who had been calm and collected his whole life, was now in a panic and wished he could fly to the hospital immediately.

As soon as the car stopped, Lin Ran was wheeled away by medical staff.

Old Master Xiao wanted to go in, but he was too old and would not only be unable to help but would also cause trouble, so he could only stand at the door of the operating room with Butler Xiao and wait.

Lin Ran's painful cries echoed continuously from inside the room, and the old man felt his heart clench.

"Old Xiao, what's wrong with Ranran?"

"Could something have happened?"

"Don't worry, sir. The young mistress has always been in good health. She will definitely be fine."

Butler Xiao was also extremely flustered, but he could only try to comfort the old man for the time being.

Not long after, the operating room door suddenly opened, and a nurse came over with some papers.

"Lin Ran's family, please sign here. You have taken medication to induce labor, and you need to be delivered via cesarean section immediately."

"There is some danger, but we will do our best to protect them."

The old man felt as if the string of calm in his mind had suddenly snapped, and with trembling hands, he signed his name on the surgical consent form.

"God help me, my Ranran must not be hurt."

The old man, who had never believed in such things, suddenly panicked and began to pray, waiting anxiously.
