Page 547 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen’s words, so full of certainty, a flicker of dark light passing across her expression...

Indeed...

What Gu Mochen said wasn’t without reason.

"I’ll consider it."

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen watched with satisfaction as Jian Ran seriously pondered, and he began speaking earnestly.

"Jian Ran... I have never been a father before. After meeting Tang Bao, I will learn to be a good father. You have no reason to doubt this."

Upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran felt an inexplicable tremble in her heart...

To have a man regard Tang Bao as if she were his own.

For her, that was enough.

Only...

A slight smile forced its way onto Jian Ran’s lips as she looked out the window, softly saying,

"I just feel... being Mrs. Gu is already a very demanding task, and being Mr. Gu’s daughter... Miss Gu, is it also like this... Gu Mochen, I just want Tang Bao to grow up in a relatively clean environment, the simpler the better. I don’t want things to be too complicated."

Now it seemed... everything was vastly deviating from her original scope.

A feeling of strangeness passed through Jian Ran’s heart more or less.

At her words, Gu Mochen’s expression became even more cold and stern.

Mrs. Gu...

Miss Gu...

He undoubtedly wanted to give Jian Ran and Tang Bao the best.

But it turned out, they did not need it.

"Jian Ran... at home, I am merely a father and a husband."

"But in Yuncheng City, you are Gu Mochen, the CEO of the Gu Family, and in Italy, you are behind Carlo... These two illustrious identities are just what I know so far, and the ones I don’t... You still have dealings with Huo Zun, Gu Mochen... just how much more about you am I unaware of?"

Hearing Jian Ran, Gu Mochen thought that probably Secretary Zhou had been talkative and told the woman about the Carlo matter.

Gu Mochen’s expression grew even deeper and darker.

"None of these matters... You only need to remember that I am your husband... and Tang Bao’s father. That’s all," he insisted.

Jian Ran, hearing the man’s irrefutable voice, pursed her lips, attempted to say something, but chose silence instead.

"Hmm..."

...

A palpable tension filled the air between the two, and Secretary Zhou, sitting in the driver’s seat, dared not say more.

Upon reaching the underground garage, Jian Ran was the first to speak: "I’ll go up first."

After saying this, Jian Ran walked straight toward Gu Mochen’s private elevator, leaving the angry man sitting in the back seat.

Secretary Zhou grew even more uneasy...

...

When Jian Ran arrived at the design department, she attracted a fair amount of attention.

After all... she had been away in Italy with Gu Mochen for a full four days, not to mention the car accident upon her return.

Han Siming got hit by a car for her, and the story had become a sensation at the Gu Family.

With Qin Mu as a childhood sweetheart on one hand, and Han Siming who loved her at the risk of his life on the other, while having an ambiguous relationship with Gu Mochen...

It was impossible for Jian Ran to keep a low profile even if she wanted to.

When the female colleagues saw Jian Ran, they couldn’t help but come over and start talking.

"Jian Ran, we heard about it. You really stole the show in Italy."

Jian Ran: "..."

The smile on Jian Ran’s face stiffened as she heard the women and awkwardly asked, "Hmm?"

"Oh my... it’s not just that you won Bon’s design work... Not only that... I heard that Bon’s CEO Gail selected many of your design drafts... Wow... With such an achievement, you’ve surely beat Lan Xing."
