Page 393 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen held Tang Bao as they settled into the car.

Tang Bao couldn’t help but praise, "Mommy... you were so cool just now, you really gave that auntie who didn’t bathe a good scolding."

"Mmm, Mommy, you’re my idol..."

Hearing the little lolita speak like this, Jian Ran still couldn’t help but retort, "Really? Then between me and Boy, who do you like more?"

"This..."

Tang Bao was in a dilemma.

Jian Ran: "..."

The love of a little lolita, really can’t withstand the slightest test.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but burst into a wry smile, helplessly curling her lips upward and reaching out to tousle the little lolita’s hair, whispering softly, "Alright... mmm, Tang Baobao, mommy has something to tell you."

"Mmm."

"That is, we shouldn’t casually comment about whether an auntie has bathed or not; it’s impolite, understood?"

What should be taught must still be taught.

Each matter on its own merits.

"Got it... Mommy, then what should I do if I meet someone bullying you?"

"That’s simple... you can just say, ’Auntie, next time you’re hungry, let me treat you to a meal, then you won’t have to eat in the bathroom anymore.’"

Tang Bao: "..."

Tang Bao was flustered.

Gu Mochen’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile because of Jian Ran’s words.

Truly a prickly little hedgehog.

Jian Ran, definitely wouldn’t let herself be taken advantage of.

Mhm, this little girl has quite the character...

Although, oftentimes, Jian Ran’s spiky attitude was directed at himself.

Just now... when Jian Ran tore into Chu Yingying, it still managed to be quite an eye-opener for him.

...

Although Gu Mochen had some red wine, it didn’t affect his driving, so Jian Ran didn’t insist on stopping him.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, just now Gu Mochen was really trying hard to protect her in front of Chu Yingying.

The corners of Jian Ran’s lips curved upward, the feeling of someone protecting her was really nice.

"Gu Mochen... let’s head to the apartment complex first, Tang Bao and I need to pick up some things."

"Sure, you go get them, Tang Bao will stay in the car."

Using the emperor to command the princes.

With Tang Bao in the car, Gu Mochen wasn’t worried at all that Jian Ran wouldn’t come back.

Jian Ran: "..."

Gu Mochen, now you’ve really done it.

Jian Ran tugged at her lips, looking at the man’s tall and strong body sitting at the driver’s seat, handling the steering wheel, and she awkwardly looked away from his expression.

Getting too close to Gu Mochen recently, this really wasn’t a good sign.

Especially when the man’s deep gaze settled on her, almost drowning her in it, piercing straight into the depth of her heart.

A moment later, Jian Ran pursed her lips.

"Gu Mochen... Tang Bao is actually mine."

"Is that so? I apologize, I am a law-abiding citizen, and ultimately, it’s up to the judge to decide who Tang Bao belongs to."

Gu Mochen’s words were arrogantly spoken, with his usual domineering air.

The words he said left no room for negotiation; they were more like commands.

Jian Ran tugged at her lips, the nominal daddy...

Is that so?

Gu Mochen seemed to be really enjoying his newfound role as a dad.

...

When they arrived at the bottom of the apartment building, Jian Ran looked at Tang Bao playing with a doll in her arms and tentatively spoke, "Baobao, how about going upstairs with mommy to get some things?"

When mother and daughter returned home afterward, they’d just lock the door from the inside.
