The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 92 is due to work fatigue.

Compared to the other floors of the hospital, the fourth floor was very quiet.

Apart from a few nurses who came to pick up their medications, there were no other patients.

Xiao Jingchen's arrival disrupted the tranquility. A young nurse, unable to bear it any longer, tried to stop him, but was held back by an older nurse.

"You're crazy, he can't stop you."

"This is President Xiao of the Xiao Group; we can't stop him."

Noticing that Lin Ran's breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, Xiao Jingchen quickened his pace. He glanced at a certain room and kicked it without hesitation.

"Come and see what's wrong with her? Why did she faint?"

The doctor in the room was about to lose his temper, but when he saw that the person who came in was Xiao Jingchen, he immediately calmed down and looked down at Lin Ran.

He observed carefully for a long time before finally speaking up before the man beside him could explode.

"Based on my diagnosis, this young lady probably has a fever."

"Just a fever?"

"She doesn't look too good either. Is she really alright?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen cared so much about someone, the doctor became curious and glanced at him a few more times. Seeing that the man's face was getting darker and darker, he carefully reached out to take his pulse.

"Besides having a fever, I'm also feeling a bit weak."

"In other words, it's because I've been too tired lately and haven't had a proper rest."

"I bet it's because her unscrupulous boss is exploiting her so ruthlessly that she's like this, right?"

The doctor was lost in his own speculations, completely oblivious to Xiao Jingchen's increasingly dark expression beside him.

Seeing the doctor constantly making reckless moves, Zhou Qing couldn't help but speak up and offer a word of advice.

"This is Mr. Xiao's wife, and she is also an employee of Xiao's Group."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor, who had been talking non-stop, immediately shut his mouth, looked at Xiao Jingchen, and chuckled.

"What I just said was all nonsense, please don't mind it."

"Oh, right, I'll go prepare a fever-reducing injection for her. You can leave after she gets the injection."

Fearing that Xiao Jingchen would get angry, the doctor left without looking back after saying those words, and even had another doctor administer the fever-reducing injection.

Xiao Jingchen frowned as he looked at Lin Ran, who was still unconscious, feeling both anxious and angry.

Does this woman not care about her body at all for money? Or is she so eager to make money in order to distance herself from him?

After spending some time at the hospital, Lin Ran's condition improved considerably. Xiao Jingchen hesitated for a moment but still took her back to the villa.

After going upstairs, he hesitated for a long time in front of the master bedroom before finally carrying her inside.

Lin Ran felt like a small boat adrift on the sea, struggling to open her eyes, which were indeed blurry.

"woke up?"

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Lin Ran stared blankly at Xiao Jingchen, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was trying to figure out who he was.

The next second, a pair of warm hands rose up and pinched Xiao Jingchen's face.

That wasn't enough. Lin Ran tugged hard on her hand and laughed foolishly.

"This dream was quite realistic."

After a pause, Lin Ran released her hand, but her eyes remained fixed on it.

"Xiao Jingchen, you're so mean. You always misunderstand me. I don't like you at all."

"But sometimes you're really nice to me, I'm so conflicted."

"But you're still too fierce! Especially at the company, your dark face is really scary..."

Lin Ran talked on and on for a long time. Xiao Jingchen was initially a little annoyed, but her soft and sweet voice inexplicably soothed his restlessness, leaving him with only helplessness in the end.

After tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, Lin Ran finally fell asleep again.

Seeing the person on the bed with rosy cheeks, Xiao Jingchen's heart stirred, and he actually lay down next to Lin Ran.

People with fevers always instinctively seek out the warmest place, and Lin Ran was no exception.

When she woke up the next morning, she stared at the face that was almost touching hers for a long time, her heart pounding.

She practically nestled into Xiao Jingchen's arms. This intimate position made Lin Ran very uncomfortable, and she struggled to get away, but unexpectedly, this action woke him up.

His usually cold and aloof eyes now held a hint of confusion. Lin Ran looked at Xiao Jingchen in this state, her heart trembled, and her face grew increasingly red.

"What's there to be shy about? We've already done more intimate things, and besides... we're husband and wife, aren't we?"

The voice in my ear was very hoarse, with a hint of teasing.

"Your face is so red, is it because you have a fever, or are you shy, hmm?"

Lin Ran hurriedly looked away, wrapped herself in the blanket, and curled up into a ball.

"I have a fever! I have a fever!"

Seeing the bulge under the covers, Xiao Jingchen smiled with pleasure and forcefully pulled back the covers.

"Hmm, that means you have a fever."

"Don't crawl in there, you can't breathe."

Lin Ran's eyes darted around, but she didn't dare to look at Xiao Jingchen.

Fortunately, a few minutes later someone knocked on the door, and then Zhou Qing's voice rang out.

"Mr. Xiao, there's something at the company that needs to be taken care of."

A flash of displeasure crossed Xiao Jingchen's eyes, but he said nothing, simply threw on a shirt, and left the room.

Lin Ran suddenly felt the air move, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"May I come inside?"

An unexpected knock sounded on the door, and Lin Ran crawled back into bed.

"come in."

The person who walked in was Zhou Qing, carrying a bowl of steaming porridge.

The aroma of rice wafted into her nose, and Lin Ran swallowed hard, glancing over discreetly.

She hasn't eaten much since yesterday, and now she's starving.

"Madam, this is porridge that Mr. Xiao specially ordered to be cooked."

Zhou Qing carefully placed the plate on the table, but as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back.

“Madam, Mr. Xiao took care of you all night. Now that I see you’re feeling better, I’m relieved.”

After saying this, Zhou Qing quickly left.

Lin Ran froze, looking at the still warm spot beside her with a complicated expression.

Xiao Jingchen actually took care of her for the entire night...

Thinking about this, the bowl of porridge didn't seem so delicious to Lin Ran anymore. She ate the porridge absentmindedly, not even noticing when the door was opened.

"Not tasty?"

Xiao Jingchen suddenly spoke, startling Lin Ran, who put down her spoon and coughed.

"Cough cough..."

Xiao Jingchen was taken aback, then quickly went over and patted Lin Ran on the back a few times, then poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

"Are you stupid? You can choke on porridge."

"I was clearly scared by you..."

Lin Ran muttered to herself, her tone not so much like a complaint as she was being coquettish.
