Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Tormented Her All Night Long

Wen Ran had an uneasy sleep that night.

She was bombarded with visions of kissing Fu Chenlie as soon as she closed her eyes. After finally dozing off in a daze, her dreams were filled with various images of Fu Chenlie: laughing, mocking her, sitting in his office working diligently, and looking down at her with arrogance...

The chaotic scenes in her dream jumbled together without logic, tormenting her all night long.

The next day, Wen Ran got out of bed after the alarm clock went off.

After washing her face, she left the bedroom, ready to go downstairs and prepare breakfast.

Wen Ran had thought that at this time, Fu Chenlie would still be asleep.

But just as she reached the top of the stairs, she saw the man, dressed in a suit, already sitting on the couch downstairs!

He sat on the couch, a cigarette between his fingers, bringing it to his lips. After blowing out a ring of smoke, his well-defined fingers flicked the ash, and some vague curvature played on his lips as if he were pondering something.

Wen Ran stood at the top of the staircase, suddenly unsure if she should go downstairs to make breakfast or not.

Downstairs, when Fu Chenlie snubbed out the spent cigarette in the ashtray and glanced up at the stairs, catching Wen Ran’s hesitant gaze from a dozen meters away, he sneered, "Is Mrs. Fu planning to stand there till it gets dark before coming down?"

Wen Ran, "..."

This man always spoke with such a mocking tone.

She stepped down the stairs.

However, after going downstairs, Wen Ran made no interaction with Fu Chenlie in the living room.

She went straight to the kitchen and started on breakfast.

Twenty minutes later, breakfast was ready.

When Wen Ran carried the two plates to the dining table, preparing to call Fu Chenlie to eat, she looked up and saw him already walking over.

She silently went to her seat and started eating without a word.

The man took his place soon after with deliberate slowness, picking up his utensils before glancing at the woman opposite him, "Do you find it tiring to cook before and after work every day?"

Wen Ran was slightly startled.

Was this his way of showing concern?

She looked up at him and confirmed, "You are... talking to me?"

"Is there a second person here?"

"...Not tiring; it’s something I should do. After all, I can’t divorce now, nor do I want to have your children. So the least I can do is cook."

Fu Chenlie furrowed his eyebrows.

It wasn’t hard to guess that she was recalling how he had first assigned her the task of cooking when she was unwilling to do so, thereby giving her the choice between cooking, divorce, and having children.

He curled his lips and chuckled lightly, "You sure hold a grudge."

"No, I’m just speaking the truth."

"I’ve told Cheng Cheng to hire a housekeeper from a domestic agency to cook and clean."

Wen Ran had gone back to eating quietly after answering him just now.

Hearing about hiring a housekeeper, she couldn’t help but look up, full of confusion, "Why?"

If something is out of the ordinary, there’s surely a catch.

Wen Ran was inwardly anxious, staring at him as she asked, "You... you’re not planning to make me replace cooking with having children, are you?"

He immediately denied, "No, we’ve already discussed the matter of children before, and I am not going back on my word."

"Oh, that’s good." She was somewhat relieved.

Fu Chenlie watched her relieved look after her baseless scare and once again spoke solemnly, "Getting a housekeeper is simply to lessen your burden, to reduce your workload. In the future, you just need to be my driver, taking me to and from work is enough."

Wen Ran was puzzled.

Would he be so kind?

Was this man harboring some ulterior motive?

She couldn’t figure it out and simply asked, "Boss, why have you suddenly started to consider my feelings?"
