Page 456 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran conjured a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, attempting to speak.

"Gu Mochen... take me to the shore... let’s talk..."

"I feel that, between husband and wife, this position is very suitable for discussing matters. I wonder what Mrs. Gu thinks?"

As he said this, Gu Mochen gazed deeply and meaningfully at the woman before him... etching her delicate face deeply into his heart.

Jian Ran... was a woman who could ripple through his heart...

In his life, such women were rarely seen.

And... Jian Ran was the only one.

Jian Ran: "..."

In the open swimming pool, under the azure sky, the bright sunlight spilled over the two of them. Now, her legs inevitably wrapped around the man’s sturdy waist due to her fear of falling into the water... And her small hands were tightly clasping the man’s neck, unequivocally refusing to let go.

This position...

Suitable for discussing matters?

Jian Ran felt a tingling numbness on her scalp, and she tugged at the corner of her mouth... hiding the dimness in her beautiful eyes as she whispered softly.

"Gu Mochen... last night, I... let’s pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Jian Ran mustered her courage and blurted out what she had been thinking.

Gu Mochen narrowed his dark eyes, profoundly meaningful...

Before, Tang Bao was always by their side, so Jian Ran found it inconvenient to talk to him about this matter.

Now... Tang Bao was not around.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but revisit the past, her expression serious.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips curled slightly, drawing close to the woman’s earlobe as he spoke nonchalantly.

"Are you saying... you slept with me and then, are pretending as if nothing happened at all, Mrs. Gu?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen’s sharp, playful words, her mouth twitching and her scalp tingling intensely.

She really wanted to retort...

Who slept with whom in the end?

Now it seemed as though the most aggrieved had become Gu Mochen?

"Gu Mochen... have you no shame? Last night, it was clearly you who took the initiative..."

"Sorry, I only remember that last night, Mrs. Gu told me, ’Remember, Gu Mochen, it’s not you who wants to sleep with me tonight, but I plan to sleep with you.’"

Jian Ran: "..."

Last night, she indeed had said those words, but she spoke them because she felt she couldn’t escape.

It was a helpless gesture... not wanting to lose face by saying that.

Unexpectedly... Gu Mochen had taken it to heart.

Jian Ran’s face flushed unnaturally...

Anyone hearing such words would inevitably blush and have an accelerated heartbeat.

"Gu Mochen... but last night..."

As soon as Jian Ran spoke, she heard the man’s deep, magnetic laughter, and realized she had probably been trapped.

Gu Mochen... was triumphant.

Gu Mochen looked at the young girl in his arms, his lips curling.

"Hmm! But... Mrs. Gu, rest assured... In my mind, it was Mrs. Gu who took the lead."

Jian Ran: "..."

Brazen.

Scumbag.

Hearing Gu Mochen’s sophistry, Jian Ran found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Looking at the handsome and charming man before her, she had to admit defeat first.

"Gu Mochen... I lost... is that okay now?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen’s eyes darkened. What he wanted was not for Jian Ran to admit defeat.

"I... now want to act as if nothing ever happened... okay, Gu Mochen?"

Once had, there’s a saying that one won’t cherish it anymore.

Jian Ran was not one to play the victim...

If it had happened, it had happened.

If they could truly go back to the past...

That would be enough for her.

Otherwise... she would continue to cohabit with Gu Mochen along with Tang Bao.

The deeper she and Tang Bao got, the heavier the burden would be when the beautiful dream shattered, a weight she and Tang Bao couldn’t bear.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran couldn’t help but feel a surge of darkness in her heart.

Gu Mochen heard Jian Ran’s na?ve words and his lips formed a scornful smile.

As if nothing had happened...

Jian Ran’s heart was indeed generous.

Consciously possessing a woman for the first time was last night.

How could it be as if nothing had happened?

Thinking of this, Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze deeply and meaningfully fixed on the woman before him. He reached out with his large hand to caress Jian Ran’s fair and jade-like cheek, shaking his head emphatically.

"Sorry! Impossible..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to the man’s decisive words, Jian Ran felt a swirl of emotions within her. Her small hand clenched, but she also didn’t dare to let go from around the man’s neck.

Gu Mochen gazed at the woman before him, the water wetting her soft white dress, making it cling to her graceful body, which was quite enchanting.

Her fair skin was so delicate it seemed it could be broken by a blow, and faintly... one could see the red marks on the woman’s neck, left by him the previous night.

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes deepened.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment...

Jian Ran’s hand clenched, and she challenged in a sink-or-swim manner.

"Heh... Impossible! Gu Mochen, the way you are now really gives me the illusion that you’ve fallen in love with me."

Gu Mochen: "..."

The word love resonated profoundly.

Jian Ran could clearly feel the atmosphere between them becoming even more awkward.

She knew... there were some questions she could ask Gu Mochen.

But there were some questions she shouldn’t ask him.

A man’s thoughts... were always hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

So now... having pointed it out bluntly, it seemed somewhat feeble and powerless.

"Gu Mochen... to you, I’m just an object of a man’s possessiveness towards a woman, that’s all... so... let’s not keep this up."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen’s entire demeanor turned cold.

Jian Ran... she actually believed... that his feelings for her were merely a man’s possessiveness towards a woman.

Gu Mochen truly couldn’t help but curse shit!
