My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 123 What does it mean?

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 What does it mean?

Zhao Xiuyun sighed, seemingly helpless, "I’ve just graduated and my mom keeps pushing me to go on blind dates. I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend just to deal with her."

"Ah... Is that really appropriate?"

"It’s just a one-time meeting, and once she knows I have a girlfriend, she won’t force me into blind dates anymore. I can handle the rest on my own."

Logically, Wen Ran felt this wasn’t a reliable plan.

But emotionally, considering that Zhao Xiuyun had kindly spent time teaching her how to drive and had been ridiculed by Fu Chenlie for his unclean car, not even getting a meal in the end, she actually felt somewhat guilty.

So, if she could help him out, it would also serve as a thank you for Zhao Xiuyun’s previous efforts and sacrifice.

Therefore, she asked, "So when do we meet?"

"How about tomorrow evening?"

"In the evening?"

Zhao Xiuyun said, "Just around dinner time, an hour will suffice. Whenever you’re available, we can fix the time; I can coordinate with my parents’ schedules."

Wen Ran, not wanting Fu Chenlie to suspect anything from their conversation, didn’t mention Zhao Xiuyun’s name or give away too much information about the specific time, beating around the bush, "Okay, we’ll discuss it then. But I’m worried I might have something come up last minute and won’t be able to make it. What if I ask Ah Yan if she’s available? If she is, maybe she can help you out first?"

Zhao Xiuyun said, "Ah Yan has just started her job, and I hear her boss is quite a handful. I’d rather not trouble her."

"Alright, I’ll try to make some time."

"Okay, Ranran, thank you."

She chuckled, "No worries, after all, you’ve helped me too. Let’s leave it at that for now, goodbye."

"Mm, goodbye."

After hanging up, Wen Ran just turned around and saw Fu Chenlie standing behind her, not knowing when he had gotten there.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and he naturally questioned, "Who called you?"

She replied quietly, "Isn’t that my private matter?"

His tone lifted slightly, seemingly amused, "Private matter?"

Hearing his tone of voice, Wen Ran couldn’t imagine what reason he’d use next to twist her steadfast opinion; she even hesitated to nod, "Yes, everyone has their privacy. Can you show a little respect?"

Fu Chenlie glanced at her, his thin lips curling with an ambiguous smile, "Fine, I’ll respect your privacy, but please, Wen Ran, also respect your profession and try not to handle personal matters during work hours."

With those words, Fu Chenlie walked upstairs.

Wen Ran was left puzzled.

From his words, had he overheard her conversation with Zhao Xiuyun?

That shouldn’t be the case.

...

The next day.

While Wen Ran was cooking in the morning, she heard some noise at the entrance.

She turned her head to look over and caught a glimpse of Fu Chenlie having come back from an early morning run, and as he entered, he seemed to glance towards the kitchen...

Like he was checking if she was home?!

What was that about?

Wen Ran didn’t understand, focused on cooking, and then carried the plates to the dining room.

Fu Chenlie washed his hands and elegantly took his seat by the dining table.

During the meal, the usually reserved man unusually started chatting with her, "Do you have any plans for later?"

"I don’t have any plans."

As she spoke, Wen Ran suddenly remembered what he had said to her yesterday and chuckled, "I’m the driver, you’re the boss. What company has a rule where a driver schedules the boss’s time?"

Fu Chenlie’s face darkened, and he glared fiercely at her.
