Page 455 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Hmm... okay."

Jian Ran watched the little girl already in the water, unafraid and on her own, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, enjoying the little girl’s playful demeanor.

Holding a milk bottle, Jian Ran walked toward the little girl. She was about to crouch down when her hand was suddenly grasped by the little girl.

"Mommy, come down and play with me and daddy."

"I can’t..."

Jian Ran tried to pull back her hand, but Gu Mochen, who was not far off, moved faster. With agile swimming strokes, he approached, reached out his large hand to grasp Jian Ran’s small hand, and with a slight force, Jian Ran was helplessly tipped forward.

"Ah..."

Jian Ran let out an exclamation, but instead of falling hard into the water, she crashed into Gu Mochen’s embrace.

However... the splash that followed still sent warm water rushing towards her, prompting Jian Ran to subconsciously wrap her small hands around Gu Mochen’s neck.

"Don’t..."

Jian Ran was still somewhat anxious as the water spread over her.

She clung tightly to Gu Mochen’s neck, eliciting a deeper smile from him.

Gu Mochen looked at the woman in front of him and casually remarked, "Hmm? Is Mrs. Gu actively throwing herself into my arms?"

Jian Ran: "..."

The man’s magnetic voice resonated in her ear, making Jian Ran awkwardly look away.

But... even though she was annoyed by the man in front of her, she couldn’t bring herself to let go of her grip, clinging to him with all her might to prevent herself from falling into the water.

Tang Bao, who was to the side, was jumping and dancing with excitement.

"Wow... Daddy... is hugging mommy... Daddy, quick, quick, quick... wall her!"

Jian Ran: "..."

Tang Bao, are you really my own child?

When there was a misunderstanding about their identities, Tang Bao had taught Gu Mochen to wall his wife... When it came to walling herself, Jian Ran let it slide.

Now, their relationship was laid bare.

The little girl was still urging Gu Mochen to wall her...

Jian Ran felt quite displeased in her heart.

The daughter she raised was really elbowing outwards.

Hearing this, Gu Mochen’s smile deepened even more.

Tang Bao... truly a divine assistant.

With the little girl there, he had easily moved in with Jian Ran, and now... Tang Bao was quite enthusiastically advocating for the birth of a little brother.

Hmm...

Everything seems to have been solidly helped along by the little girl.

Thinking of this, Gu Mochen’s deep eyes stared meaningfully at the woman in front of him, his lips curving into a smile.

"Alright... Daddy will try hard to wall mommy..."

"Yay... I won’t be a third wheel anymore, I’ll go play in the little duckie over there... You two have fun."

Having said that, Tang Bao waved nonchalantly at Gu Mochen and Jian Ran before heading off to the little duck filled with children’s toys.

The little girl, moving her petite hands back and forth inside the swimming ring, resembled a little duck – irresistibly adorable.

Right now, Jian Ran had no interest in admiring Tang Bao’s antics; she was tensed up, eying the man in front of her.

Constantly... on guard against Gu Mochen.

Gu Mochen...

Gu Lang!

Right now, she was protecting herself from Gu Mochen as if guarding against a wolf...
