Page 531 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Han Siming’s dark eyes could hardly hide the loneliness...

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first. Mo Chen, are you staying here to keep Siming company for a bit longer, or shall we leave together?"

Jian Ran’s smile was appropriately charming, and Gu Mochen’s slender, ink-black eyes narrowed.

"I’ve arranged for a driver to wait for you downstairs. You go back first to be with Tang Bao."

"Okay, but lately Tang Bao has been clingy to you... remember to come home early."

"Hmm."

Jian Ran feigned a petulant tone. This demeanor, coupled with her being so affectionate with Gu Mochen, pierced Han Siming’s heart even more.

Han Siming clenched his fists tightly...

...

After Jian Ran left.

Han Siming looked at the man before him, whom exuded an imposing presence, his voice was hoarse.

"Brother... for Ranran, I could give up even my life."

His implication was clear: he wouldn’t give up no matter what...

Gu Mochen raised an eyebrow, noting Han Siming’s immaturity.

The words spoken carried no weight.

Gu Mochen’s ink-black eyes narrowed as he looked at the man before him, speaking earnestly.

"Siming... because it’s you, I’ve already been very patient."

If it were any other man coveting Jian Ran... they wouldn’t be so lucky.

Han Siming: "..."

Han Siming had known Gu Mochen as a brother for many years and was all too familiar with Gu Mochen’s capabilities.

Hearing Gu Mochen speak so succinctly, Han Siming’s face changed color.

"Brother... I can give up anyone, I can let go of anything, but... I cannot lose Ranran. You and Ranran have only been together in name, why can’t you let her go for me?"

Subconsciously, Han Siming had already regarded Jian Ran as belonging to Gu Mochen.

If Gu Mochen didn’t willingly let go... he feared he might never have her.

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes looked meaningfully at Han Siming before him, then after a moment, he shook his head.

"Siming... if you had told me this earlier, when Jian Ran joined the Gu Family company, I might have considered it, but... now, I’m sorry."

He paused and then spoke with certainty.

"Because... Jian Ran is the only woman I want in this life... there’s no other branch, just this one exclusively."

"Between brothers, I could give you anything you want, but she is the exception."

Han Siming: "..."

Gu Mochen’s words landed with a weight that was difficult to face, filled with certainty and arrogance.

Han Siming could be fearless in front of anyone, but standing before Gu Mochen, he quickly lost his composure.

Han Siming’s complexion turned extremely ugly.

"Brother... it’s hard for you to fall in love with a woman..."

"True, but unfortunately, I have fallen for Jian Ran."

He didn’t even mind that Jian Ran had a child.

He treated the child as his own.

In any case...

Many things that Gu Mochen had previously taken lightly, he had conceded completely in the face of Jian Ran.

Because...

Jian Ran had changed him far too much.

This was the first time Han Siming heard Gu Mochen assert his love with such certainty.

And undoubtedly, the tone that allowed no questions made his heart feel an unusual sensation.

"Why... Brother, why must you take away the woman I love the most in my life..."

Clearly a child of the Gu Family, yet unable to acknowledge his heritage.

To outsiders, he was the president of the Han Family...

But those who deeply understood the dynamics of the wealthy circles knew... he was the illegitimate son of the Gu Family.
