My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 269: I Am Not Your Woman

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: I Am Not Your Woman

Wen Ran finally came to her senses and, looking at the handsome face magnified before her, suddenly grew afraid to meet his gaze. His eyes were too alluring, and she would accidentally get drawn in, losing herself.

She didn’t know when it started, but she wasn’t as rational as when they first got their marriage certificate.

Could it really be that time nurtures affection?

Having spent more time with Fu Chenlie, seeing the many excellent qualities in him, and coupling that with his annoyingly endearing face, her fondness for him truly accumulated slowly.

Especially since he hadn’t ridiculed her in a long time.

Wen Ran regained her composure and lowered her gaze, "I wasn’t thinking about anything."

The man, seeing she didn’t even dare to look at him, had even more reason to suspect—

She was preoccupied with something!

Without any hesitation, he lifted her chin and stared straight into her eyes, chuckling lightly, "Why the aggrieved look? With all the servants around, they might think I’ve bullied you."

Wen Ran thought about it and finally gritted her teeth to speak, "I was thinking about the question you didn’t answer just now."

"What question?"

"Is it true what Fu Jiayue said? That as soon as your first love returns, if she says the word, even if I am pregnant, you will divorce me?"

Fu Chenlie’s gaze grew deep, and he didn’t speak.

Wen Ran knew, that was a tacit admission.

Her mood suddenly worsened, and she pushed him, "Let go of me, let’s go home."

He pressed her back into the seat, seized her wrist, and playfully caressed her soft, boneless hand. While toying with it, he said with a smirk, "Mrs. Fu, wasn’t it you who said it? Hypothetical answers given to hypothetical questions have no real value. If you really want to know, why not bear a child for me first, and then we’ll see if I would divorce you after Wan Ning returns, huh?"

Wen Ran looked at him and, after a few seconds of hesitation, uttered four words, "But I’m scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Scared that I really will get pregnant and you’ll divorce me just because of someone else’s words."

Hearing this, the man’s eyes grew unfathomably deep.

Wen Ran’s voice continued, "How helpless would I be? I’m only 22 years old, haven’t even gotten my teaching certificate yet. Thrown out with a child, I wouldn’t even have the means to support it. How would I live?"

She spoke with a touch of grievance.

Fu Chenlie frowned upon seeing this.

A few seconds later, he lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it affectionately. His deep eyes focused on her as he coaxed softly, "Don’t think too much. The woman and child of Fu Chenlie won’t lead such a miserable life. I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I won’t let you go hungry or homeless."

"I’m not your woman..."

"You will be."

Wen Ran, "..."

Where did his confidence come from?

Why was he always so sure of himself?!

She frowned.

Suddenly, a gentle kiss landed on her forehead.

She was momentarily stunned, "Why did you kiss me?"

"Silly girl."

"How am I silly?"

Fu Chenlie chuckled lowly, "You just look silly. A smart person would have found an opportunity to climb into my bed and secure the position of Mrs. Fu by now. Only a naive girl like you would obediently sleep in separate rooms every night."

Wen Ran pursed her lips, "That was your rule."

"Rules are dead, and you are alive."

"I’m not so shameless as to climb into a man’s bed..."

He hummed lightly, his hand suddenly reaching around her waist and pulling her into his embrace.

Wen Ran staggered before regaining her balance, nervously looking at the man so close by, "What are you doing?"
