My Pregnant Contract Wife Ran Away from Me!

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Being a Scheming Woman Once

Wen Ran’s hand, which was operating the photo-editing software, suddenly paused.

Before, she never felt the sensation of being disturbed by a third person when the husband and wife were together.

But today, after their tender moment, the man who originally held her obediently pushed her away without hesitation, just to answer Jiang Wan Ning’s call.

This feeling truly made her heart feel sour and bitter.

Wen Ran’s face turned paler, and her mood for editing photos instantly vanished.

She turned off her phone, propped her arms up to get out of bed, randomly grabbed her clothes to put them on, picked up the book for teaching qualification, left the master bedroom, and went to Fu Chenlie’s study.

She had already finished the Comprehensive Quality book and was now reading another one.

As November approached, the time for the teaching qualification exam was getting closer, she needed to speed up her reading.

But sitting in the study, flipping through pages with her fingers, none of the content seemed to enter her mind.

She couldn’t help but keep thinking—

What are Fu Chenlie and Jiang Wan Ning talking about?

She even regretted for a moment why she left so gloomily just now.

She should have deliberately whimpered and called him "Ah Lie", knowing that Fu Chenlie was on the phone with Jiang Wan Ning, letting her know that he had another woman beside him now.

But she had already left, there was no turning back now?

Forget it, next time.

If there’s another chance like this next time, she’ll play the scheming woman.

The sound of a creaking door reached her ears, Wen Ran looked up towards the doorway, glimpsed Fu Chenlie pushing open the study door with his long arm, and walked in with his long strides.

He spoke while walking towards her: "Why did you suddenly get up?"

She replied in an even tone: "It’s midday, not suitable to sleep all the time, it will cause insomnia at night."

"With me around, you won’t have the opportunity for insomnia."

"You’re not here every day."

He raised his eyebrows in response: "How am I not?"

Wen Ran pursed her lips, her gaze grew distant, and she mumbled: "A few days ago when you went abroad, at night I was the only one sleeping alone, I couldn’t sleep during those days, sometimes, while staring at the ceiling, I could stay awake until two in the morning, the bedroom lights went on and off, even though I was very tired, I couldn’t fall asleep."

Fu Chenlie said amiably: "Blame me."

She snorted coldly, speaking proudly: "It’s your fault, you got me used to having someone by my side, got me used to the feeling of hugging you to sleep, but after I got used to it, you just went abroad, left me alone to fend for myself."

He stopped beside her, raised his hand to rub her hair: "Alright, I’ll try to accompany you to sleep every night in the future."

"Really?"

"Really."

Wen Ran smiled: "Then if you don’t keep your word, I’ll be angry and ignore you."

The man patiently said "Okay."

Her mood got better, but it wasn’t entirely clear.

She still didn’t know what Jiang Wan Ning said when she called earlier, but since he didn’t voluntarily tell her, she didn’t want to ask. After all, asking every time would make her seem paranoid or suspicious.

...

In the following week or so, Fu Chenlie would always receive calls from Jiang Wan Ning when the two were alone.

Wen Ran didn’t know if Jiang Wan Ning was aware that Fu Chenlie was married.

Nor did she know whether her calls at midnight were intentional or accidental.

Until one day, while she and Fu Chenlie were sitting in a restaurant having dinner, he told her: "Wan Ning is returning to the country tomorrow, her flight will land in Jiang City at midnight, I have to go to the airport to meet her."

The woman looked up at him while eating: "Then... will you come back tonight?"
