My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 271 She Should Not Be Touched

Chapter 271: Chapter 271 She Should Not Be Touched

His movements were too swift when he snatched the phone away, and Wen Ran felt the edge of the phone scratch against her fingertips, which was a bit uncomfortable.

But what was more uncomfortable was that just moments ago, they had been talking about children, and he had confidently said she would definitely fall for him; they had even kissed.

But now, a hint of a message from Jiang Wan Ning, and Fu Chenlie was so anxious that he disregarded all manner of decorum.

Snatching the phone, turning on speakerphone.

Was he avoiding her?

Wen Ran sat emotionlessly in the passenger seat, not bothering to listen to what Fu Chenlie and Cheng Cheng were discussing.

He hung up the phone after a short while and turned his head towards her, "I need to go abroad suddenly for some business, we’ll talk about the wedding rings another time."

"Okay, you’re busy."

"Now let’s go home first, pack a few things, and then you can take me to the airport."

Wen Ran responded flatly, "Understood."

The man did not consider her feelings at all, merely acknowledging with a perfunctory "Hmm," and started to drive away again.

They had just arrived at Huan Island Villa when Fu Chenlie’s phone rang again.

He glanced at the caller ID, then directed Wen Ran, "Madam, go and pack for me. Everything is in the wardrobe of my bedroom. Bring more underwear—I change them every day."

She had wanted to refuse, but the man had already answered the call and turned away.

Wen Ran, in the end, said nothing and silently went upstairs.

She entered his room, found a suitcase in his wardrobe, and began to pack his things.

Undergarments like "underwear" were items she should not touch, given the nature of their relationship.

But when he had instructed her just now, he did not hesitate at all.

Perhaps when he was giving her orders, he only regarded her as a mere maid.

As Wen Ran packed the clothes, she noticed that Fu Chenlie’s underwear came in a variety of colors: black, grey, navy blue, dark green, and even a dirty pink.

The colors of his underwear contrasted somewhat with his personality.

But she had no desire to pay much attention right now.

All she could think about was, if Fu Chenlie brought Jiang Wan Ning back with him on this trip, how was she going to cope?

Fu Chenlie had said before—

The contract is in black and white; it’s not something I can just break whenever I wish.

So even if Jiang Wan Ning came back, she would have to continue being Mrs. Fu until the end of their one-year marriage contract.

But how hard would her days be if her husband’s first love were to constantly parade before her?

"Squeak—"

The sound of the door opening from outside reached her ears.

Wen Ran snapped back to reality, panicking slightly as she grabbed a few more shirts and tossed them into the suitcase.

Fu Chenlie soon walked in, stopping beside her and scanning the suitcase, "Are you done packing?"

"Yes."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wen Ran forced a smile but said nothing.

Fu Chen leaned down to close the suitcase, one hand gripping it while the other naturally reached out and pulled Wen Ran along, "Let’s go, to the airport."

She followed him mechanically, walking out of the wardrobe room.

On the way to the airport, it was still Fu Chen at the wheel.

Wen Ran sat in the passenger seat, very quiet, but her mind was in turmoil.

As they neared the airport, Fu Chenlie gave her instructions, "While I’m abroad, if you have any issues, contact Cheng Cheng, and he will help you."

"Okay."

"You don’t need to go to work before I get back; consider it paid leave."

Wen Ran politely responded, "Thank you."

He seemed to sense something amiss and turned to look at her, "After I come back, I’ll take you to buy the wedding rings, okay?"

"No need."

"Why not?"

She spoke in an unhurried manner, "There’s actually no need to buy the rings, since we’re going to get divorced in a year anyway. If we buy them now, it will just be a case of objects evoking memories later on."
