My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 359: Flaw

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Flaw

Wen Ran didn’t expect him to say such a straightforward thing.

Still, upon hearing it, a faint sweetness crept into her heart.

She pretended to be calm and replied with an "oh," then said, "Alright, let’s hope Mom and Dad will like me."

Fu Chenlie contentedly ruffled her hair. "Mm, when we meet them, call them Mom and Dad too. They’ll definitely be happy."

She took his hand, linked arms with him, and looked up at him with a smile. "Honey, shall we go eat now?"

The man nodded and responded with a single word, "Alright."

...

After lunch, the two watched a movie at the mall.

Once the movie ended, they drove to the Fu Residence.

Wen Ran had heard from Fu Chenlie that his parents were back, but she didn’t know that they’d be dining with Second Uncle Fu Boyuan’s family as well.

When she saw them, she greeted them, nodding slightly toward Fu Jiayue as a form of acknowledgment.

Just as she was about to look at Fu Chenlie’s parents, his mother’s cheerful voice rang out. "Ah Lie found such a beautiful wife! Come, sit next to me so I can get a good look at you."

The weight pressing on Wen Ran’s heart eased quite a bit after hearing those words.

She walked over and sat down, addressing Song Qiaoman as "Mom" and then turning to Fu Zhenghong with a polite "Dad."

Both of them responded with smiles.

Song Qiaoman handed her a box. "Ranran, this is a gift I brought back for you from overseas. See if you like it."

Though Wen Ran felt slightly embarrassed, she accepted it. Opening the box, she saw a Cartier bracelet inside and quickly handed it back to Song Qiaoman. "Mom, this gift is too expensive."

Seeing her hesitate, Fu Jiayue said sarcastically, "It’s just a bracelet. If someone gives it to you, just take it. What’s all this fuss about whether it’s expensive or not? Our Fu Family spends at this level—you might as well get used to it. If you’re uncomfortable, then hurry up and divorce my brother."

Everyone around heard her remark.

Fu Chenlie’s gaze turned icy, sharp as a blade, sweeping across her like he was about to cut her to pieces in the next moment.

Fu Jiayue, startled, grabbed Chen Ru’s hand, lowered her head, and dared not utter another word.

Grandma and Fu Tianxin simultaneously shot her a disapproving glare.

Song Qiaoman gave her a cold look too, then turned back to Wen Ran. Her expression instantly softened into a motherly smile. "Ranran, this is my first time meeting you, and giving you a gift is customary. Ah Lie knows how to earn money, and now that you’re his lawful wife, half of his income is yours. By that math, you’re a billionaire in your own right. This bracelet is well within your means—take it."

As she spoke, she took Wen Ran’s hand and placed the bracelet on her wrist.

Wen Ran was a little stunned.

Billionaire?

She barely dared to imagine it but quickly came to her senses and thanked her with a smile. "Thank you, Mom."

Fu Zhenghong handed over a thick red envelope. "Take this."

Wen Ran accepted it. "Thank you, Dad."

Grandma watched Fu Zhenghong and his wife warmly interacting with Wen Ran, and her mood soared.

She knew her judgment couldn’t possibly be wrong!

Fu Boyuan glanced over at his elder brother’s family enjoying themselves, a faint smile appearing on his face.

But Chen Ru and Fu Jiayue’s expressions weren’t nearly as pleasant.

After dinner, Fu Tianxin escorted Grandma back to her room to rest.

Fu Zhenghong and Fu Chenlie went to the study to discuss work, leaving Song Qiaoman in the living room to chat with Wen Ran.

She started reminiscing about Fu Chenlie’s past: "Ranran, Ah Lie, when he was little, was mostly cared for by Grandma since his father and I were always busy with work. We weren’t there for him as much as we should have been, and his father added to the pressure by constantly reminding him about the future responsibilities of taking over the Fu Group. That gave him considerable stress and may have caused some flaws in his personality. Living under the same roof, if you ever feel he’s not doing well in some aspects, just let me know, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you."
