Page 545 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth, and was directly pulled to sit beside Gu Mochen by Tang Bao. Gu Mochen, on the other hand, stretched out his big hand to habitually circle around Jian Ran’s waist, his large hand playing with Jian Ran’s smaller one, clearly amused.

"Gu Mochen... you know he can’t do it."

"Yeah, if he could, I wouldn’t let him do it."

Jian Ran: "..."

Secretary Zhou looked at the intimate breakfast scene of the family of three, and hastily said, "Well, I’ll go check on the kitchen."

After saying that, Secretary Zhou immediately ran towards the kitchen.

"Gu Mochen... Can you not learn to be childish like Qin Mu, two men competing in cooking... Is that interesting?"

"It is... I haven’t yet crushed him completely without any dead angles. Jian Ran, I have already given you and Tang Bao a lot of face."

Jian Ran: "..."

Such childish men, one more so than the other.

...

What should have been a breakfast ready in about 20 minutes, Qin Mu took the full 20 minutes.

Jian Ran looked at the pitch-black spread on the dining table, her mouth corners twitching.

"Qin Mu, what is this you’ve cooked..."

"Fried eggs, and steak too... Ran Niu, have a taste."

Qin Mu was also covered in dust and grime, as he had struggled to learn all of last night.

The practical effects... seemed not so good.

"Well... for Tang Niu, just drinking some porridge is fine... Don’t give the kids anything that’s burnt."

"Mhm..."

Jian Ran prepared a bowl of millet porridge for the little loli, only to find that what should have been thin porridge had been turned into dry rice by Qin Mu.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but laugh and cry... she was really charmed by Qin Mu’s cuteness.

"You guys just sit for a bit, I’m going to get some pickles from the kitchen... and some ready-made ones."

"Mhm."

Gu Mochen responded faintly, tying a bib around the little loli, who smacked her lips and cheerfully said.

"Uncle Qin, you’ve improved a lot this time, at least there was no fire in the room."

Qin Mu, who had been somewhat deflated, brightened up at the little girl’s words.

"Really?"

"Of course... Uncle Qin is my deputy team leader, the best..."

At the mention of the deputy team leader, Qin Mu remembered that he had joined the team before Gu Mochen had.

Therefore, in fairness and principle, Gu Mochen should also show some younger brother’s deference in front of him.

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, glancing at the imposing Gu Mochen opposite him, and playfully said.

"President Gu... I joined the team before you did..."

Gu Mochen: "..."

The mighty president of Gu Family had joined a team started by a 3-year-old little loli...

Not only that, but he had been utterly crushed, and by implication, he was the younger brother.

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of deep thought flashing through them as he casually retorted.

"Hmm, so what..."

"So, as the newbie, you should have the posture of one. Tang Baobao said that you have to be my little brother."

Gu Mochen: "..."

His own precious daughter... really was too cute.

Gu Mochen’s mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of chill passed through his eyes.

"What exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Qin?"

"First off, I think your attitude isn’t quite right, President Gu... Tang Baobao, isn’t that correct..."

Tang Bao smacked her lips, her finely carved little face studied Gu Mochen for a moment and then looked at Qin Mu, before she cheerfully said.

"Mommy said that men’s affairs, girls can’t get involved with, so you guys settle it privately."
