The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 105 The Other Side of President Xiao

Inside the villa, Old Master Xiao had already moved back to his old house, and Xiao Jingchen had not returned. Only Lin Ran was at the dining table.

Even though the dishes weren't prepared with any care, she still felt they tasted bland and tasteless.

Especially when I see that empty seat next to me, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

He's been out of the office for ages, so why hasn't he gone home?

Lin Ran bit down hard on the spoon, as if venting her anger.

After a few seconds, she sighed again.

Lin Ran, Lin Ran, what does it have to do with you whether they come back or not? Why are you worrying about it?

Lin Ran forcibly ignored the bitterness in her heart, finished the food on her plate in a few bites, wiped her mouth and was about to go upstairs.

"Oh, don't joke with me. I'm a taxi driver, where would I find a place to swipe my card?"

"Hey! Is anyone home? Come out and get them!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Ran paused, glanced at the busy servants, and resignedly turned her head back.

The scene before Lin Ran as she opened the door left her stunned.

The drunken man in front of me... is that Xiao Jingchen?

The man, who always paid attention to his image, was now in a sorry state, yet his expression remained remarkably calm. If it weren't for the strong smell of alcohol on him, one might not have been able to tell that he was already drunk.

But he was still holding a black card in his hand, and without seeing the driver's resistance, he desperately shoved it into his hand.

"Miss, do you know him?"

Seeing someone come out, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze towards Lin Ran filled with expectation, as if he had seen a savior.

"I know him, sorry to bother you."

Hearing her say that, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the black card into Lin Ran's hand.

"The fare is fifty, and you can't pay by card."

Lin Ran looked at the card in her hand and sighed softly. She took out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket and handed it over. Then she called a servant to carry Xiao Jingchen inside.

"Thank you for bringing him back. Consider the rest a tip."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Miss."

Seeing Xiao Jingchen leave, the driver immediately closed the car door, stepped on the gas, and left a trail of exhaust fumes.

Seeing him flee in panic, Lin Ran could understand his feelings quite well.

After all, what normal person would use a black card to pay for a ride?

After resolving these matters, Lin Ran returned to her room and approached Xiao Jingchen, who was now lying quietly on the bed.

Compared to his usual indifference, Xiao Jingchen seemed like a completely different person at this moment.

Especially his eyelashes; Lin Ran had never noticed before that Xiao Jingchen's eyelashes were so long.

She cautiously reached out her hand, but when she was just a millimeter away from her eyelashes, she saw the man open his eyes.

Lin Ran blinked, and Xiao Jingchen blinked too.

After a while, she awkwardly withdrew her hand, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

"Lin Ran".

A voice, much gentler than usual, rang in her ears, causing Lin Ran's heart to tremble. She looked down at it.

"why do you ignore me?"

Xiao Jingchen stared at her with a resentful look in his eyes, his dark pupils seeming to see right through her.

Why are you ignoring me?

Lin Ran looked at the hand tugging at her sleeve, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She never imagined that Xiao Jingchen would be like this when he was drunk.

"why do you ignore me?"

Seeing that she did not answer, Xiao Jingchen asked again and again, very persistently.

While silently warning herself about the agreement, Lin Ran couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingchen.

"I'm not ignoring you."

In the end, Lin Ran was captivated by those dark eyes and spoke in a soft voice.

"It's fine if you don't."

The drunk Xiao Jingchen seemed unusually easy to coax, and he immediately laughed after hearing Lin Ran's answer.

The next second, Xiao Jingchen, reeking of alcohol, sat up and, taking advantage of Lin Ran's inattention, pressed his cool lips against hers.

Lin Ran tried to struggle, but when she met those eyes, all her movements went limp.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

The strong smell of alcohol wafted between the two.

Lin Ran was somewhat dazed.

She must have been drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have done something like that.

Just as Lin Ran had made all the preparations, the man on top of her suddenly stopped.

Lin Ran cautiously looked over, but could only hear Xiao Jingchen's steady breathing.

This man is actually asleep?

Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle. She struggled to straighten Xiao Jingchen, then cooked some hangover soup for him and fed it to him. She didn't rest until late at night.

Xiao Jingchen felt like he had a very comfortable sleep, and he only woke up when the somewhat dazzling sunlight shone in.

Looking at everything familiar around him, Xiao Jingchen's memories returned little by little, and his expression gradually stiffened.

What did he do last night?

Peng.

Lin Ran pushed open the door and walked in. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Jingchen, who had already woken up, and then greeted him awkwardly.

"Morning."

"morning."

Xiao Jingchen's body stiffened, and after giving a dry reply, he turned his face away, looking awkward.

That person last night definitely wasn't him. How could he do something so stupid and ask such a stupid question?

Even after arriving at work, Xiao Jingchen's expression remained unpleasant.

Ye Chuchu had thought that Lin Ran had benefited from what happened last night, and that she might even be disliked by Xiao Jingchen, but seeing his gloomy face, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.

Did Lin Ran anger Xiao Jingchen last night?

The thought of this possibility made Ye Chuchu excited. Seeing the documents on the desk that hadn't been delivered to her office, she immediately picked them up and went into her office.

“Brother Xiao, we left rather suddenly yesterday, and we haven’t had time to bring these documents in yet.”

"let it go."

Ye Chuchu had been observing Xiao Jingchen's expression, and seeing that he was the same as usual, she felt much more at ease.

It seems that Xiao Jingchen was indeed drunk last night and probably doesn't remember what happened.

Ye Chuchu nodded obediently and turned to leave the office.

As luck would have it, she saw Lin Ran waiting at the door.

Because the door wasn't closed, Xiao Jingchen immediately saw Lin Ran standing in the doorway, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Just give the documents to Ye Chuchu."

Xiao Jingchen didn't know what he was afraid of, but he just didn't want to see Lin Ran, as if that would make him forget what he had done last night.

Lin Ran was taken aback, lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in them, placed the documents in her hand in Ye Chuchu's hand, and turned to leave.

Looking at the documents in her hand, Ye Chuchu couldn't contain her excitement.

The two of them actually had a fight, and it seems that Xiao Jingchen doesn't even want to see Lin Ran anymore.

"What are you standing there for? Bring the documents over."

Seeing Ye Chuchu standing there in a daze, Xiao Jingchen, unaware of the truth, couldn't help but urge her on.

He did remember what happened last night, but he just didn't want to hold it against her.

After all, it was the boss who forced the drinks on the table.
