However, for Jian Ran, this sort of behavior...

really did put some extreme pressure on herself...

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes flashed with a hint of shadow, and he narrowed them slightly, nodding earnestly in response.

"Of course..."

Jian Ran mimicked Gu Mochen’s action of kissing her, licking the man’s thin lips, and successfully saw the man’s Adam’s apple bob slightly, his large hand tending even more to move downward.

Her smile at the corner of her mouth setting for a moment, she seized the opportunity when the man was not paying attention, lifted her leg, and aimed a kick between the man’s legs.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Although Gu Mochen knew the woman would have these little moves, he still was not quick to dodge, and Jian Ran did hit him... somewhat painfully.

Gu Mochen’s complexion changed, turning a frightening shade of ashen.

Jian Ran, on the other hand, looked at the man’s pained expression and curved up the corners of her lips in satisfaction.

"Mr. Gu, I concede."

Having said that, Jian Ran threw a flirtatious glance, calmly got up in front of the man, and quickly buttoned up...

Gu Mochen: "..."

Shit!

Indeed, beautiful women are disasters; I couldn’t dodge in time.

Gu Mochen, enduring the pain, raised his eyebrows towards the direction of the resting room and spoke.

"I just fed Mrs. Gu... Shouldn’t Mrs. Gu cook and feed Mr. Gu, hmm?"

Jian Ran: "..."

It’s already 1 p.m....

Who was feeding whom, exactly?

Who was tormenting whom?

Jian Ran really wanted to curse, especially seeing Gu Mochen’s utterly shameless demeanor, and spoke irritably.

"Dream on..."

"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu’s living expenses have already been given to you."

Jian Ran: "..."

Upon hearing the words "living expenses," Jian Ran halted in her tracks...

In the end, she admitted defeat.

"You mean, if I don’t cook, I have to return the money to you, right?"

"Of course..."

"Fine, I’ll cook."

Gu Mochen curved up his lips in satisfaction.

Indeed, this tactic was the most effective on Jian Ran.

"Hmm..."

...

Although it was already 1 p.m., to replenish her energy for herself, Jian Ran swiftly prepared four dishes and a soup. Her entire body was weak from being tossed around by Gu Mochen, and yet she had to help cook.

As for the man... he was full of vigor.

Even though she had hit him painfully once, there was no sign of any discomfort on him.

In comparison, Jian Ran felt somewhat choked up.

Did it have to be like this...

Jian Ran suppressed the disdain in her heart and spoke without good humor.

"Let’s eat."

"Okay."

Gu Mochen actively extended his large hand to encircle Jian Ran’s slender waist, drawing Jian Ran into his arms, and his thin lips landed on the woman’s forehead, kissing it.

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Jian Ran: "..."

With someone like Gu Mochen, a classic case of a thick-skinned person...

Jian Ran had nothing more to say.

"Let’s eat!"

"Hmm..."

It seemed the two had not dined in the resting room for a long time.

Jian Ran ate simply, but still couldn’t help speaking up.

"Gu Mochen... I always feel that this trip back from Italy is a bit sinister... as if... something is waiting for me. I think that Lan Xing, after being hit hard today, won’t let it go so easily."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm..."

"Hmm... it’s mostly likely he’s gone for reinforcements."
