My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!
Chapter 371: Momentary Softness for Him

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Momentary Softness for Him

Wen Ran leaned against Fu Chenlie’s embrace, his strong arms holding her, and if she said there wasn’t a hint of warmth in her heart, that would be a lie.

But at the same time, she was wide awake.

This clarity made her subconsciously want to delve deeper: "Is it only because you slept with me and feel responsible, that you won’t leave me for Ms. Wan Ning?"

Fu Chenlie slightly furrowed his brows: "What, Madam thinks that’s not enough?"

"It sounds enough, after all, being Mrs. Fu means living carefree, worry-free about food and clothing, with financial freedom, even for a lifetime."

"From what you say, is there a ’but’?"

Wen Ran pursed her lips.

There is a ’but’.

But she likes him.

Love always makes one want to demand more, that endless greed that cannot be held back.

"Mrs. Fu?" The man called out to her in a raised tone when he heard no reply, with a hint of urging.

Wen Ran rose from his arms, looked at him innocently and smiled: "No ’but’."

He raised his brows and questioned: "Really?"

"Yes, really."

"Alright, then I have a question I’d like to ask you."

She nodded: "Go ahead."

His dark eyes settled on her face, a deep and complex gaze: "Why did you suddenly agree to be with me yesterday?"

"Is a reason necessary?"

"Of course, I’m curious, what made Mrs. Fu, in just forty-eight hours, change her mind and accept me, not fearing pregnancy?"

Wen Ran’s eyes subtly shifted, as if there was a flowing emotion in those almond eyes.

All her hesitation and contemplation fell into Fu Chenlie’s eyes.

He furrowed his brows, feeling even more curious, instinctively reaching to lift her chin: "Tell me the truth, hmm?"

Wen Ran met his gaze: "Will you laugh at me if I tell you?"

Laugh?

The man’s brows slightly raised: "What reason could make me laugh?"

"Promise me first, you won’t laugh."

"Alright, I won’t laugh at you."

Upon hearing his promise, she softly responded, and then spoke: "Actually, I said it last night, because I don’t want a divorce anymore, I want to keep my husband, even if it’s with my body, even if it’s with pregnancy."

"Why... do you want to keep me?"

"Because I seem to increasingly enjoy the feeling of being with you."

Fu Chenlie was particularly persistent today: "Oh? What kind of feeling is that?"

Wen Ran lowered her eyes and said: "The feeling of being cared for, the feeling of security, I don’t know how to describe it exactly, stop asking."

Her tone somehow took on a slight hint of complaint by the end of the sentence.

His originally cool and indifferent gaze deepened a bit after her words fell, and almost immediately after her words dropped, he raised his hand to hold the back of her head, pressing her towards him, lowering his head, accurately capturing her lips and kissing them.

The man’s action was so sudden that her pupils widened unexpectedly.

This kiss carried a cautious amount of cherishing.

So gentle and patient, it unwittingly dissolved the emotions originally tangled in Wen Ran’s heart, for him, a moment of softness.

Once the kiss ended, he brushed her forehead, his deep voice containing traces of laughter: "You are my wife, I will always be good to you, loyal to you. With me, you can always feel secure, understand?"

Hearing such a promise after the kiss, Wen Ran’s heart was warmer than at any other time, and for a moment, she seemed to tangibly understand how to truly write the word "happiness."
