Page 473 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran knew... Gu Mochen was still angry.

Although Tang Bao’s soothing presence in the afternoon made their confrontation less direct, the root of the conflict was still there.

"Mm."

Gu Mochen’s large hand moved away from Jian Ran, then he passed Tang Bao to her, and afterwards, Gu Mochen’s tall frame followed Mrs. Gail toward the direction of the study.

...

Jian Ran watched Gu Mochen leave and proceeded toward the second floor. She pursed her lips, her small hands hugging Tang Bao tightly as her beautiful eyes looked cold and a bit forlorn.

With her lips puckered, Tang Bao turned to Jian Ran and started speaking in her baby voice.

"Mommy... does that grandma like daddy?"

Jian Ran: "..."

This little girl’s insight was really something.

She knew everything...

Jian Ran narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the little girl full of curiosity, saying softly,

"Mm."

It was quite obvious...

She was blatantly trying to seduce Gu Mochen.

And furthermore... Really, she wasn’t trying to curse, but Mrs. Gail and Madam Gail didn’t seem to care about their own daughter openly seducing someone else’s husband.

Jian Ran’s mouth curved into a sneer. It was clear that this society lady had turned into such a person, and it appeared that Mrs. Gail’s parenting wasn’t that great either.

Under the care of Madam Gail, Jian Ran, holding Tang Bao, sat down on the sofa.

This little girl was usually under strict upbringing.

When visiting someone else’s home, she knew to be polite.

Therefore, she sat obediently and adorably next to Jian Ran.

Karina was nowhere to be seen, while Madam Gail was welcoming Jian Ran and Tang Bao warmly.

Watching Madam Gail’s eyes shift uncertainly, clearly hiding something, Jian Ran darkened her beautiful eyes, thinking...

It seemed that she was probably trying to hold her up here.

Watching Madam Gail’s gaze occasionally fall on the first room of the second floor, Jian Ran was pensive.

Hmm... If she wanted to know whether there were any secrets, it might be better to go upstairs herself and find out.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran leaned closer to Tang Bao’s ear and whispered,

"Baobao... Mommy has something to do and needs to go find daddy. Can you help mommy hold off grandma for a while?"

"Yay! Of course, I must complete mommy’s mission... Guaranteed..."

Ah, mommy was finally getting wise, finally knowing to take the initiative to find daddy.

She liked a wise mommy.

Jian Ran looked at the little girl saluting with her small hand, extremely adorable, and her lips curved up slightly.

"You’re such a good girl."

Sure enough, after she spoke, Tang Bao wriggled down from the sofa and directly approached Madam Gail, her voice milky as she said,

"Grandma, I need to go to the bathroom, can you take me there, please? I’m just a 3-year-old little child, oh, I need your care."

Madam Gail didn’t understand Chinese, so Tang Bao began to gesture.

She also added her expressive face to the mix.

Thus, it didn’t take long for Madam Gail to understand what Tang Bao was saying, and she quickly responded,

"Okay, I’ll take you there."

"Yay, grandma, you’re the best!"

Jian Ran watched Madam Gail lead Tang Bao toward the direction of the restroom, the corners of her mouth curving up.

Although the little girl couldn’t communicate in the same language, she managed to make herself clear with rich expressions, extremely cute.

It looked like there wouldn’t be any problems with communication between her and Madam Gail.

Thinking so, Jian Ran darkened her gaze slightly, pondered for a moment, and made her way toward the study on the second floor.
