"I... I’m going to check on Tang Bao, I won’t bother with you anymore."

"Hold on."

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran’s eagerness to leave, reaching out his large hand to clasp her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. His enticing words rang in her ear, very tempting.

"Mrs. Gu, when you were bringing up Mr. Gu’s past, was it because... you’ve fallen in love with Mr. Gu? Hmm?"

Jian Ran’s heartbeat thundered inexplicably due to Gu Mochen’s magnetic words, and her little face turned even redder.

Some answers...

even she was beginning to waver.

Let alone speak them out loud.

Back on the beach, Tang Bao had once asked her this question, and she chose to evade it.

Jian Ran clenched her little hand, looking at the man beside her and spoke unnaturally.

"Mr. Gu... isn’t it somewhat lacking in a gentleman’s demeanor to press a woman on whether she’s fallen for you?"

"Sorry, it’s just that this answer is very important to me."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran met Gu Mochen’s meaningful dark eyes, and her heart skipped a half-beat...

Her little hand clenched tight...

After a long while, she shook her head firmly.

"Gu Mochen, you really are delusional... Sorry, your question has no theoretical basis, so... I choose not to answer."

Having said that, Jian Ran struggled out of the man’s grasp and hurriedly walked toward the room where Tang Bao was resting.

Gu Mochen watched the woman’s retreating back, his dark eyes as profound as the sea, inscrutable.

The heart of a woman... like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

His own feelings for Jian Ran were becoming harder and harder to grasp.

...

After returning to her room, the little loli was still sleeping soundly.

Jian Ran looked at the little loli’s delicate features, her lips curling up...

She was really something.

The loli’s skills in charming men were formidable.

Teasing Gu Mochen naturally came without saying.

On further thought...

Indeed, Gu Mochen’s tone of voice towards the loli was more like... what she heard that day when she came out of the bathroom at the Qin Family!

As expected.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but stretch out her little hand to tap her own head, speaking with self-contempt, "Jian Ran, how can you be so dumb..."

She had been eating dry vinegar for so long...

Jian Ran laughed at herself in a hoarse voice...

But strangely enough, due to Gu Mochen’s response, a flicker of difference crossed her heart.

Gu Mochen... was he really a man clean to the point of purity?

...

After 10 hours of flight, the family of three finally arrived at the private airstrip.

It was just midday in Yuncheng City.

Although Jian Ran was somewhat tired, she felt pretty good after having rested on the plane for a while.

It was just... due to having cleared up some previous misperceptions with Gu Mochen, it was more or less somewhat awkward.

Jian Ran awkwardly avoided looking at him...

Tang Bao pouted her little mouth, her hair a bit messy, insisting that Gu Mochen hold her.

"Let’s go to the Gu Family directly. I have some matters to deal with, and after that, we’ll go back to Linhai Villa together."

"Mmm."

Listening to the man’s incredibly magnetic voice, Jian Ran’s little face unnaturally flushed.

The family of three got into the car, and Tang Bao couldn’t help exclaiming, "Mommy, your face is red..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran looked at the loli’s surprised and curious expression, and said irritably, "No... I just got off the plane, and I’m feeling a bit unwell..."
