Page 558 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Who the rescuer was, Jian Ran had not said.

But she and Gu Mochen knew full well.

Gu Mochen’s eyes darkened... Now that Han Siming was lying in the hospital bed...

Objectively speaking, seeing Han Siming in such a state, she didn’t want to have too much conflict with Dong Qin.

However, there was only one Gu Family... it was her mother’s dowry, and Gu Mochen, even if he gave up Carlo, he wouldn’t likely give up the Gu Family.

Dong Qin, constantly coveting what belonged to others... her end could only be one.

Thinking of this, Gu Mochen’s lips thinned, and he began to speak.

"Don’t worry, I will arrange for someone to protect you and Tang Bao. Nothing that happened to Chu Yingying will happen again."

Listening to the man’s firm and certain words, Jian Ran felt a warm current surge into her heart and nodded,

"Okay!"

Jian Ran hadn’t mentioned the incident with her mysteriously malfunctioning computer, thinking that to respond to hidden moves with visible counter-moves was the best strategy for now.

...

By the time Jian Ran had finished lunch in Gu Mochen’s office, it was almost 2 in the afternoon.

When she left Gu Mochen’s office, because just now Gu Mochen had been intense, fast, urgent...

So... her legs were somewhat trembling.

The Secretary of the Secretariat, Secretary Zhou, saw this and seemed to understand.

As did the female secretary who had accompanied him to Italy, who also knew full well.

"Miss Jian, do you need me to take you downstairs?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran felt awkward.

"No need... I’m fine, I can do it myself."

"Alright..."

Jian Ran was extremely embarrassed. It was just a visit to Gu Mochen’s office, and if she needed to be escorted downstairs, what would that make her...

Wouldn’t it be like saying ’thief shouting to catch thief’?

Jian Ran inwardly scolded Gu Mochen harshly...

But what she despised more was Lan Xing.

If it hadn’t been for Lan Xing’s sudden disruption... saying she wanted to come to Gu Mochen’s place.

She could have... escaped this disaster.

...

When Jian Ran returned to the design department, she felt even more embarrassed.

Because the other members of the design department looked at her with inquiring eyes.

They seemed curious...

What exactly had happened to her.

Regarding Lan Xing... her face was full of malevolence as she looked at Jian Ran with evident hatred.

Jian Ran tugged at the corners of her mouth...

Lan Xing might have misunderstood something... before, she could walk with her head high.

But...

The fact proved.

She had just gotten up from Gu Mochen’s couch.

This and the bed...

Seemed not too different, right?

...

"Jian Ran... why did it take you so long to come back from President Gu’s office?"

The other curious female colleagues in the design department couldn’t help but ask.

The smile at the corner of Jian Ran’s mouth stiffened as she looked straight at the gossip-hungry eyes of the woman and nodded.

"Because Bon’s design case had many issues that needed to be discussed."

Having said this, Jian Ran herself felt somewhat guilty.

Because... she and Gu Mochen hadn’t talked about any of these issues at all.

Jian Ran took a deep breath... seeing the woman still looking doubtful, she nodded seriously and continued to lie.

"Not only that... Mrs. Gu called Mr. Gu during that time, and the couple’s relationship is very good... hehe... so it took quite a long time."
