Page 495 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

At that time...she had even reminded Gu Mochen it was time to take his medicine.

The enormous fortune of the Gu Family, wealthy enough to rival a nation...

It was something everyone dreamed of having in their lifetime, but for Jian Ran, it didn’t mean much.

Because, she didn’t value it.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flashed with a dark gleam...if it wasn’t hers...holding it in her hands just felt strange...

"Gu Mochen...if you talk like that, I still think 13 dollars is very good," she said.

As she spoke, Jian Ran pursed her lips, clearly indicating refusal.

Gu Mochen...he loved that she was frugal with small matters, but when it came to major issues, she knew right from wrong very clearly.

So...

Sometimes, he truly felt sentimental, even wishing that Jian Ran loved money.

If that were the case...she would have fallen in love with him long ago.

...

Gu Mochen arranged for the waiter to bring in an exquisite breakfast for the family of three to dine in the living room.

After breakfast, Jian Ran made an excuse to help Tang Bao change clothes and secretly gave the little girl insulin injections.

After the injection, Jian Ran felt heartbroken, watching the tears swirling in the little girl’s eyes, and held her in her arms, coaxing her.

Although Jian Ran was also tired, she didn’t have the heart to let Tang Baobao down, so she kept holding her to comfort the little girl’s emotions.

"Mommy, I am a manly man. It doesn’t hurt...don’t worry about me," Tang Baobao said.

"Mmm...Mommy knows, Mommy’s Tang Baobao is the toughest, the bravest," Jian Ran replied.

Jian Ran planted a loud kiss on Tang Bao’s tender cheek and then carried her out of the room.

Upon seeing Gu Mochen, Tang Baobao puckered her lips and said in a tender voice.

"Daddy, hug..."

"Okay..."

Gu Mochen reached out to hold the little girl in his arms, watching her pout and seeming a bit unhappy, he gently asked,

"What’s wrong?"

"Mmm...nothing...I just wanted a hug from daddy."

She didn’t want to burden daddy with her troubles, she just wanted to feel the gentle embrace of her father.

Because she loved her daddy the most.

"Okay."

Gu Mochen looked towards Jian Ran, his eyes questioning why Tang Bao had such a change in mood, but Jian Ran awkwardly averted her gaze.

"She just did something wrong, so I disciplined her a little," she said.

Jian Ran took the blame onto herself, causing Gu Mochen to frown.

When it came to Tang Bao...

He had never thought about discipline.

Because the little girl was too adorable, too endearing.

He didn’t have enough time to dote on her, let alone discipline her.

Therefore...Gu Mochen was somewhat dissatisfied with Jian Ran’s response, pursing his lips.

"Next time, leave it to me, daughters need to be pampered."

"Okay."

Jian Ran could detect the dissatisfaction in Gu Mochen’s words, and she pursed her lips...

Gu Mochen’s role in her life was becoming increasingly clear.

Now, it seemed Gu Mochen wouldn’t allow her to discipline the little girl.

...

Tang Bao looked up from Gu Mochen’s arms and pouted, "Daddy, it’s not Mommy’s fault...don’t be mad at Mommy, okay? Mommy still has to give me a little brother. Mommy is a princess right now, Daddy and Baobao both have to spoil Mommy."

"Hmm...listening to Tang Baobao, Daddy will try hard to have a football team with Mommy, how about that?"
