Page 457 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Their gazes locked in mid-air, and Jian Ran pursed her lips...

The man’s deep-set eyes were so profound that it felt like she was about to drown in them.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes were clear and steadfast...

Gu Mochen!

Now it’s your turn to answer the question.

Do you love me?

Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes slightly narrowed... After a long while, his thin lips parted, preparing to speak.

"Jian Ran, actually..."

"Um... give me a slow motion with your left hand, right hand, a replay of the slow motion."

Hearing the little loli humming to herself not far away, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"Forget it... It’s not important, Gu Mochen... Even if you don’t take me to the shore, I wouldn’t hesitate to fall into the water."

After speaking, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes remained clear and steady as she looked at Gu Mochen and expressed all of her inner thoughts.

Otherwise, she should be afraid of water, to be manipulated by a man like this; Jian Ran was too proud to be such a person.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed as he watched Jian Ran really about to withdraw her small hand and said softly.

"Alright."

...

Gu Mochen carried Jian Ran towards the shore, but when they reached the shore, he didn’t choose to directly lift her onto land but instead stretched out his large hands, pressing them on both sides of Jian Ran.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran was directly pinned by Gu Mochen and couldn’t move, her little face unnaturally flushing a few shades redder.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes, his long eyes slightly squinting as he gazed at the woman before him...

"Gu Mochen, what are you doing?"

"It was my daughter who reminded me to do this."

Jian Ran: "..."

So, is Gu Mochen taking a feather for a token now?

Jian Ran pursed her lips, gazing at the man watching her, her heart skipping half a beat involuntarily.

"Gu Mochen, do you have to be so childish, Tang Bao is just a 3-year-old child."

"That’s not correct... She’s also the head of the Yuncheng City Boy Fan Club."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran forced a smile, watching Gu Mochen blatantly bluffing, her heart felt even more frustrated.

Gu Mochen, it’s really enough.

Even though they were in a pool, the man still gazed down at her from above, his kingly aura undisguised.

Jian Ran clenched her small hand, looking at Gu Mochen’s inscrutable demeanor, and tentatively started to speak.

"Gu Mochen! I... am a bit tired, I want to go back and rest."

Her body was tired, and so was her heart...

So...

Jian Ran needed to calm down.

Gu Mochen had given too many sugar-coated shells.

She truly couldn’t cope and was in full retreat.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Jian Ran... she wanted to flee.

Jian Ran would often find herself at a loss, seeking her own little space to cool down properly.

Now, she was in such a state.

Gu Mochen didn’t intend to pressure Jian Ran, extending his large hand to caress the woman’s cheek, and said indifferently.

"About that question just now, Jian Ran, you just asked it, why didn’t you continue? Do you want to know my answer... or do you not want to know?"

Gu Mochen gazed at the woman before him with a profound meaning.

Jian Ran: "..."

As expected, Gu Mochen was rehashing the past.

Jian Ran looked at the man before her, pondered seriously for a moment, then lifted her gaze and said softly.
