My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 177: Do I Look Idle?

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Do I Look Idle?

Wen Ran was taken aback.

Asking so many questions, is he going to agree?

A smile inevitably spread across her face, "My best friend, Jiang Yan, a girl, we haven’t decided where to meet after work tomorrow yet because I was afraid you wouldn’t agree. So as soon as she messaged me to meet up, I asked you first."

When the man heard it was a girl, he easily relented, "Um, go ahead."

Wen Ran quickly nodded, "Okay, I’ll reply to my best friend’s message now."

After speaking, she took out her phone and typed a message.

[Okay, where shall we meet?]

Jiang Yan: [Why did you reply so slowly?]

Jiang Yan: [Let’s meet at Jiang City Shopping Mall, I heard there’s a new hotpot restaurant there, I want to try it.]

Wen Ran: [[sigh][sigh][sigh] It’s because of my nosy husband being so controlling, I was afraid he wouldn’t agree, so I asked him before replying to you, to avoid committing and then not being able to go.]

Jiang Yan: [You married him, you didn’t sell yourself to him, is he treating you like an object?]

Wen Ran: [What can I do when I have little say and no ground to confront him? Besides, he just bought me a lot of things today, spent quite a bit of money, I think enduring a bit is okay.]

Jiang Yan: [What did he buy for you?]

Wen Ran: [A diamond and hardware, he accompanied me to see Grandma today. Grandma noticed I wasn’t wearing a ring and hinted that what other girls have, I should have too, and then my husband agreed. After leaving Grandma’s house, he took me to the mall to buy it.]

Jiang Yan: [Wow, Mr. Fu is quite nice to you, has he fallen for you?]

Wen Ran, "..."

I knew my best friend would say this, but how could that be possible?

Wen Ran: [How could that be possible? He has his ’first love’ whom he likes; I don’t even need him to like me—I’m just looking forward to getting divorced after a year.]

Jiang Yan: [I advise you not to get your hopes up too high. A year is long, and it’s not impossible for some feelings to develop between you two.]

Reading the message from Ah Yan, Wen Ran didn’t know how to feel.

Lately, she did feel Fu Chenlie had become less detestable than when they first got married, and she realized that beneath his venomous tongue was a heart not so stony, but developing any sort of feelings with him seemed impossible.

Fu Chenlie’s heart belonged to Jiang Wan Ning; if someone is in love with another, they won’t develop feelings for someone else.

Besides, that man gaslights her every day; it would be strange if he liked her!

As Wen Ran finished chatting with Jiang Yan, the car had already stopped at the Huan Island Villa.

She quickly pushed open the car door and got out.

After alighting, Wen Ran deliberately stood still and watched Fu Chenlie get out of the car and come over before walking home with him.

As they opened the door, he glanced at her, "You were on your phone chatting the whole time in the car, did you arrange where to eat with your friend?"

She responded, "Yeah, we arranged it."

The man frowned, seemingly unsatisfied with her merely replying, "arranged it," instead of giving him the specific location.

He quickly inquired, "Where did you arrange to meet?"

Wen Ran had already opened the Mysterious Gate, and upon hearing his question, couldn’t help but turn to look at him, "Husband, why do you need to know so clearly? Are you planning to come with me?"

He retorted without answering, "Do I look like I have free time?"

"No, you’re quite busy."

"Good to know."

With those cold words, Fu Chenlie arrogantly bypassed her and entered the house.

Wen Ran stared confusedly at his majestic figure, her face full of question marks.
