The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 97 I'll Live Here

On the plane, Lin Ran looked out the window with curiosity, her eyes sparkling with amazement as she gazed at the clouds bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

She subconsciously tugged at Xiao Jingchen sitting next to her and pointed out the window.

"Xiao Jingchen, look, it's so beautiful."

As soon as she said those words, Lin Ran regretted it.

Xiao Jingchen was dealing with work, and she interrupted him like that; he'll definitely be very angry.

It was just a sunset and clouds...

"Hmm, it's pretty good."

Lost in thought, a deep voice sounded in her ear. Lin Ran subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingchen and saw that he was also looking out the window. His profile was bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and he exuded a gentle aura.

Thump thump——

Lin Ran blinked blankly, then looked away with some difficulty.

This man is simply too alluring.

Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Ran with a puzzled expression, paused, and then looked away.

With some time before the plane landed, he needed to hurry and finish some work.

Being a CEO is also very busy.

Half an hour later, the plane landed steadily on the ground.

Lin Ran did not go directly with Xiao Jingchen to see the old man, but instead went to Lin Qing's residence.

Although the two communicated a lot on their phones, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and they always missed each other.

Upon arriving outside Lin Qing's house, Lin Ran immediately spotted the woman sitting in the courtyard.

Compared to the previous days, although Lin Qing's face was still a little pale, she looked much better.

Lin Ran stood there quietly for a long time before turning and leaving.

Seeing that my mother is doing well is enough; as for meeting her, that can wait until later.

Upon arriving at the old man's nursing home, Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen standing in the lobby with some surprise.

Why didn't you go in?

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Jingchen quickened his pace, typing a line of text before putting the computer away.

"Wait for you."

"Grandpa told me to take you with me."

Lin Ran pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Then let's hurry up and go."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a bold voice rang out from behind the two men.

"Ranran, you've finally arrived."

Grandpa Xiao was being pushed around; his face was rosy, and he seemed to be recovering quite well.

Lin Ran rushed over and proactively pushed the wheelchair.

"Grandpa, why aren't you resting inside?"

Lin Ran looked the old man up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.

"The food here is tasteless, and they won't even give me a piece of candy. I want to eat the little cakes you make."

Like a child, Grandpa Xiao leaned close to Lin Ran's ear and whispered something, his tone tinged with a hint of complaint.

"Okay, I'll make some small cakes for Grandpa when I get back."

The father and son were whispering intimately, which made Xiao Jingchen, who was standing to the side, frown with some displeasure.

"The doctor told you to control your blood sugar and not eat too many sweets, so forget about cake."

Xiao Jingchen's tone was cold, which angered the old man so much that he picked up his cane and was about to hit him.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. You can make delicious food without sugar. Can you leave it to me?"

Seeing his childlike behavior, Lin Ran could only lower her head and gently comfort him, while glaring at Xiao Jingchen standing to the side.

Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips, feeling even more displeased. He opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Ran glared at him and stopped him from speaking.

"Xiao Jingchen, I want to stay at your villa."

On the way to the airport, the old man suddenly said this. Xiao Jingchen glanced at him but did not reply.

He and the old man have never gotten along, and living together would only cause them more trouble.

However, he didn't intend to refuse, since who knew if the old man would threaten him with the shares again.

By the time the group arrived home, it was completely dark. Lin Ran rushed to the kitchen as soon as she got out of the car, intending to make something for the old man.

"You silly child, I was just joking. You don't need to do it now."

"It's so late, get some rest. Xiao Jingchen, come here for a moment."

Although Grandpa Xiao was old, his words still carried an undeniable air of authority.

Lin Ran glanced at the two of them with some concern, but said nothing.

They always have to resolve their own issues with each other.

As Lin Ran stepped onto the stairs and was about to walk towards her room, a pair of large hands came around from behind and pulled her to the doorway of the master bedroom.

"what are you doing."

Shh, Grandpa is watching us.

Xiao Jingchen leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her neck. Lin Ran shrank back and followed his lead into the master bedroom.

She stayed here for a long time when she was sick a few days ago, so she's not too unfamiliar with this house.

"Grandpa will be staying here for a while, so you can stay in this room."

Xiao Jingchen concealed the pleasure in his eyes and spoke in a calm voice. He paused, then looked up at Lin Ran with a very serious tone.

"Grandpa said that you should try harder to have a grandson soon."

Lin Ran was taken aback when Xiao Jingchen suddenly said something like that. Her face flushed red, and her eyes darted around.

After a long pause, he mumbled a reply.

"This isn't something I can achieve just by trying harder."

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the scene before them suddenly changed, and she was pinned to the bed by Xiao Jingchen. The familiar scent made both of their hearts beat faster.

Are you implying something to me?

Xiao Jingchen's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of barely suppressed desire.

He looked down at the woman beneath him; her rosy cheeks were as soft as the finest silk, and her red lips were luscious and tempting.

An ambiguous atmosphere immediately filled the room.

The next morning, Lin Ran looked shy, especially after meeting the old man's meaningful gaze, she wished she could hide her head under the table.

"Grandpa, I'm going to work now!"

Lin Ran couldn't stand the atmosphere after only a few bites of breakfast, so she made up an excuse and left the villa.

The chilly wind outside cooled her flushed face a little.

Lin Ran never expected that today's embarrassing scene was just the beginning.

The old man seemed to have relaxed completely, wanting to keep an eye on the two of them every day, and even prepared a lot of tonics to make soup every day.

Lin Ran wished she could work overtime at the company all night.

Xiao Jingchen looked at her resistant expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips, his tone teasing.

"What? Weren't you looking forward to Grandpa's return?"

Lin Ran was taken aback, glared at him angrily, and spoke in a rude tone.

"Easy for you to say, anyway, it's not you who's drinking the tonic soup."

After a pause, Lin Ran sighed deeply.

Sometimes, the concern of the elderly is truly overwhelming.

The two left the company together, completely unaware of the envious gaze of someone around the corner.
