Page 461 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen was clearly a man of deep thoughts.

Unfathomable, he could only be looked up to.

Yet...

In the afternoon sunlight, the man appeared before her in his refined loungewear, lofty and noble, as if he looked down upon the fireworks of this mortal world.

But even so, it was difficult to hide the man’s commanding presence.

Intimidating the entire place...

Jian Ran had not expected to see Gu Mochen outside the pharmacy, her smile freezing on her lips.

In her hand... she still held the birth control pills she had just bought, with Italian writing on them, but...

Having spent many years in Italy, it was no problem for Gu Mochen to discern what she had bought.

Jian Ran took a deep breath...

Birth control between husband and wife was a common matter.

Moreover, her marriage to him was in name only.

So, she hadn’t done anything wrong, but with Gu Mochen standing in front of her, pressured by his powerful aura, she felt somewhat guilty.

With that thought, Jian Ran clenched her small hand and walked towards the man step by step.

Gu Mochen’s gaze fell on the object clenched in Jian Ran’s pale hand, his hawk-like eyes slightly narrowed, his thin lips almost a tight line.

His jaw was tensed as well.

So, she had actually come out to buy birth control pills.

Shit!

...

Jian Ran could clearly feel the dangerous aura emanating from the man, as well as the anger and chill he was about to release.

"Why did you come out to find me? Tang Bao will be inconvenienced alone at home, let’s go back," she said, feigning indifference, as she tucked the birth control pills behind her, but her palms were sweaty with nervousness. The female secretary standing by didn’t dare to approach rashly and spoke with utmost respect.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Jian, I’ll go back first. Please let me know if there’s anything else you need."

"Mm."

Gu Mochen responded faintly.

Living in a foreign country, he was worried about Jian Ran’s inconveniences, so in addition to Secretary Zhou, he arranged for another female secretary for her.

Hah...

Little did he expect that the female secretary’s use would be to buy birth control pills.

With that thought, Gu Mochen’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.

He did not mind that Jian Ran had once borne a child for another man...

Could it be that Jian Ran couldn’t bear a child for him?

He now... urgently wanted to have a child of his own with Jian Ran.

Originally, he had hoped for a cute daughter, but... he already had Tang Bao, whom he treated as his own.

What he wanted now... was merely to comply with Tang Bao’s wish, a little brother.

Yet, she went behind his back to buy birth control pills here.

Shit, was he really too damn indulgent with this woman?

He had made too many exceptions for her.

But as for her thoughts, with Han Siming before and Qin Mu after, not to mention the constant string of suitors like Pan Ming, Jian Ran never seemed to have a moment of peace.

"What did you buy? Are you sick?" Gu Mochen asked in a deep voice that resonated beside her, causing Jian Ran’s heart to race.

Gu Mochen, you’re feigning ignorance.

"It’s birth control pills. You didn’t take precautions last night... and also, if I remember correctly... there were quite a few rounds, so the chances of pregnancy are very high. Therefore, I took some post-facto measures," she replied.

"After all, a woman has to take care of herself. I don’t want... to make the same mistake twice on the same issue."
