Page 387 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran furrowed her beautiful brows and, seeing the man’s bewitching appearance, felt an extreme aversion.

Tang Bao, on the other hand, was very fond of the pianist’s elegant performance... much quieter than usual and listening very intently.

When Jian Ran saw the little girl’s polite demeanor, she couldn’t help but hook the corner of her mouth upward.

Gu Mochen, meanwhile, would occasionally feed the little girl some food...

She didn’t know why, but watching the little girl eat always gave her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Very pleasant.

...

The family of three dined quietly, and by the time they finished their dinner, it was already 8 p.m.

Jian Ran instinctively reached out to hold Tang Bao in her arms, ready to leave, but saw that Gu Mochen was quicker to pick up Tang Bao from the baby seat and walked toward the door.

"Let’s go."

"Okay."

Many of Gu Mochen’s habitual actions stirred ripples in Jian Ran’s heart, more or less.

Perhaps... she also hoped in her heart that Tang Bao would have a father figure appear in her life.

Only...

How trustworthy could Gu Mochen be?

...

As Jian Ran and Gu Mochen held Tang Bao and walked to the lobby, Gu Mochen said indifferently, "Put it on the account."

"Yes."

Jian Ran watched Gu Mochen leave without paying, and she swallowed hard. That bottle of red wine he had ordered must be worth hundreds of thousands.

Jian Ran was astonished by Gu Mochen’s high expenditure, and then her hand was taken directly into his.

"What’s wrong? Is Mrs. Gu feeling the pinch?"

"Yes."

Jian Ran instinctively responded.

Um...

Eating a western meal with some wine, and it’s in the hundreds of thousands.

That’s the salary for a lifetime for an ordinary person.

Watching Jian Ran’s pained expression, Gu Mochen’s smile grew deeper at the corners of his mouth.

"I’ll be more careful next time, okay?"

Because he had drunk some red wine, Gu Mochen’s voice was particularly magnetic, adding a touch of seduction, causing Jian Ran’s heart to skip a beat.

"Gu Mochen... let’s go."

"Alright."

Gu Mochen saw Jian Ran’s somewhat flustered and slightly blushed demeanor and felt very good about it.

Now, he understood... how to interact with Jian Ran.

However, just as the two of them reached the entrance, they spotted Han Siming and a graceful woman.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but stiffen up at the sight of Han Siming.

Her throat also felt oddly blocked, as if it were stuck with a fishbone, unable to speak.

Han Siming was evidently just as surprised to see Jian Ran and Gu Mochen here, his gaze falling on the child in Gu Mochen’s arms, and his expression faltering.

The graceful woman by Han Siming’s side wore delicate makeup and was quite enchanting.

Jian Ran felt a strange sense of familiarity, but couldn’t quite place it.

"Brother..."

Han Siming’s face looked rather unpleasant. After their last encounter at Linhai Villa, news broke out that Mrs. Gu was pregnant.

No matter how Han Siming tried to contact Jian Ran, he never received any response from her.

And then... today’s news revealed that Jian Ran and Qin Mu had a daughter out of wedlock... even posting the child’s photo.

Han Siming’s gaze fixed on the little girl in Gu Mochen’s arms, then shifted to Jian Ran... His complexion turned even paler.

Seeing Han Siming’s somewhat discomposed appearance, Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes and said, "Siming, what a coincidence."
