Page 400 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran laughed out loud because of Gu Mochen’s words.

Gu Mochen really had a way with words, each one a pearl.

Tang Bao was also delighted...

Jian Ran still kept a stern face and said impatiently, "Throw down the snacks in your hand, I’ll carry you to wash your face... Little painted cat."

"Awoo... Okay, okay."

...

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran’s serious demeanor when it came to Tang Bao eating snacks, his thin lips curling into a faint smile.

This woman so solemn...

Completely different from her usual self.

...

After Gu Mochen had showered and come out, Jian Ran was already in bed resting with Tang Bao, a fairy tale book in her hands, telling the little girl a story very tenderly.

"The big bad wolf said, ’Little Rabbit, come out quickly, I promise I won’t eat you, I just want to be friends with you and have fun...’"

"Um... Mommy, what happened next, did Little Rabbit come out?"

Jian Ran’s gaze left the fairy tale book and settled on the little girl’s expectant eyes as she said seriously,

"Yes, she came out... because no matter when, it is important to choose to trust others... Do you understand?"

Because... if you trust, you might be deceived.

But if you choose never to trust, then... you may never have any friends in your life.

"Was it eaten then?"

"Um... No, they became good friends and had lots of fun..."

"Wow... That’s wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen’s lips curled up, sure that wasn’t how the story went in the book.

Jian Ran was interpreting it in her own way, much to the delight of the little girl.

"Wow... I understand... I really like it... Hehe... Mommy, I like this story."

"Yes, Mommy likes it too..."

Jian Ran glanced at Gu Mochen as he walked toward the large bed, pressing her lips together.

"Daddy... come to sleep."

"Okay."

Gu Mochen watched the little girl beckon to him and saw the challenge in Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes, completely unafraid of him, his lips curving into a smile.

Indeed...

Tang Bao was Jian Ran’s secret weapon.

Jian Ran must have figured out that he wouldn’t do anything to her with Tang Bao around.

Thinking of this, Gu Mochen’s smile became even more mischievous, enthrallingly wicked.

...

Gu Mochen lay on the large bed, and Jian Ran immediately felt the man’s oppressive aura closing in.

Tang Bao had initially been snuggled contentedly in her arms, but upon seeing Gu Mochen, she excitedly moved closer to him.

"Daddy..."

"Hmm?"

"Um, Daddy’s embrace is so warm."

Gu Mochen kissed the scent on the little girl, not knowing which brand of shower gel Jian Ran had used on her, very milky and fragrant, so pleasant.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes, noting Jian Ran intentionally distancing herself from him, his long, slender eyes increasingly narrowed, brimming with amusement.

"Good... Sleep now, Daddy will lull you to sleep."

"Yay."

"Daddy, Mommy, I want both of you to hug me to sleep, is that okay?"

When the little girl asked if it was okay, her eyes shone cunningly, sensing trouble, Jian Ran inwardly cursed.

"No."

"Of course it’s okay."

"Hehe, Daddy is the best after all, Daddy holding Mommy, and Mommy holding me, that way... doesn’t it mean you’re both hugging me?"
