Page 469 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mo Chen was holding his precious daughter in his arms, but he didn’t reach out to hold Jian Ran’s hand.

This couple’s relationship...

It seemed quite distant.

Mrs. Gail couldn’t quite figure it out and a smile played at the corners of her mouth.

"Come on in, take a seat. The food is all ready," she said.

"Okay."

Gu Mo Chen carried Tang Bao towards the living room, but his peripheral vision fell on Jian Ran walking behind him. Jian Ran’s dress was a bit long, so she needed to lift it slightly when climbing the steps.

Gu Mo Chen extended his hand, but Jian Ran, looking down, didn’t see it.

Gu Mo Chen’s footsteps, intentionally or unintentionally, paused.

Well...

This time Jian Ran was actually going to take birth control, so this time, no matter what, he couldn’t just let Jian Ran have her way.

Thinking of this, once Gu Mo Chen confirmed that Jian Ran had safely ascended the steps, he shifted his gaze inconspicuously from the woman and continued walking.

With a smack of her lips, Tang Bao leaned close to Gu Mo Chen’s ear and whispered,

"Daddy, were you just waiting for Mommy?"

"Hmm?"

Gu Mo Chen, unaware that the little girl in his arms had seen through his thoughts, narrowed his elongated, ink-like eyes.

"Oh... Daddy, if you like Mommy you have to say it out loud, otherwise... how would Mommy know you were waiting for her?"

Tang Bao acted like a little adult, very clever, causing the corners of Gu Mo Chen’s mouth to twitch, finding himself amused yet helpless with the little girl.

Upon further reflection...

He thought...

It was indeed the case.

His subtle motion just now would probably never be known to Jian Ran if he and Tang Bao didn’t mention it.

"I think... some things don’t need to be seen to be felt," he said.

Gu Mo Chen was indeed a deep thinker, but... he couldn’t learn to be as carefree as Qin Mu, who liked to express everything openly.

The woman he wanted to possess, both of them had to be in sync in their thoughts and feelings.

"Oh... Daddy, you’re so silly... You can’t guess a girl’s thoughts..."

"Hmm?"

Gu Mo Chen... felt...

He might not be very high in emotional intelligence in this regard, and needed to learn a lesson from Tang Bao.

Jian Ran had a bit of trouble climbing the steps just now, but now, walking beside Gu Mo Chen and Tang Bao, couldn’t help but join their conversation.

"What’s the matter?" she asked.

Jian Ran thought there might be some emergency with Tang Bao, so her gaze was full of concern for her daughter.

"Oh... Nothing... Mommy, we have to call Boy later when we get home. Great-grandfather got their numbers already, it’s all arranged... They will chat with me every day from now on, after all, they are my first, second, and third boyfriends," Tang Bao said.

Jian Ran: "..."

Was the old Mr. Qin’s aggressive approach really without any issues?

Jian Ran’s mouth twitched slightly, finding the situation amusing and exasperating.

"Hm... Okay, okay, but it can’t affect their work, you understand?" she said.

"Hm... Mommy, I get it... hehe."

"You’re such a good girl."

Since Tang Bao was in Gu Mo Chen’s arms, Jian Ran had to tiptoe to pinch the little girl’s cheek, only to find she needed to stretch.

Jian Ran found it amusing yet exasperating and withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, the corners of Gu Mo Chen’s lips subtly curled, and he walked into the front hall with Tang Bao.

Observing the man’s aloof demeanor, Jian Ran quickly followed.
