Page 569 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Tang Bao had been sobbing in Jian Ran’s arms, which almost shattered Jian Ran’s heart with tenderness, her beautiful eyes knitting together, her expression very stern.

This... Han Siming was still lying in the operating room.

One thing after another, they came in a continuous stream.

It was truly overwhelming.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flashed with thought, she pursed her lips... Although she was anxious about Han Siming’s condition, her small hand continued to gently pat Tang Bao’s back, soothing the little girl’s emotions.

"Mmm... Mommy has always known that Tang Bao is a brave boy... Tang Baobao, my darling, you even said, that in the future you would protect Mommy well... Ah, Mommy is so scared... So, Tang Baobao, my brave boy, I’m asking you... can you protect Mommy for a bit?"

"Mmm... Mommy, don’t cry... Wuu... I... I’ll protect you."

Tang Bao sniffled while speaking in broken sentences.

Jian Ran mimicked Tang Bao’s childlike tone of voice, trying to cheer her up, although the little girl’s eyes were red from crying.

Swollen and red, just like a Little Rabbit’s eyes, extremely cute.

But... this appearance of red, tearful eyes, made both Jian Ran and Gu Mochen feel heart-wrenchingly sorry for her.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the little girl in front of him, feeling she was so tender and adorable... to the extreme.

Gu Mochen curved his lips slightly, squatting down to be at eye level with Tang Bao, and extended his hand, lovingly stroking Tang Bao’s soft hair.

"Tang Baobao... tell Daddy, why are you so scared of the hospital?"

Anything... or any place that scared the little girl.

Gu Mochen would make sure to find a way to cure it completely.

His own daughter had to grow up in a completely clean environment.

Tang Bao: "..."

Aoowu...

She really wanted to hug Daddy and cry her heart out, and then tell him about everything that had happened.

But... she couldn’t.

It would make Daddy sad.

Mommy was already sad enough, and if Daddy became sad as well.

Then... she would be heartbroken too.

In Jian Ran’s arms, the little girl felt somewhat stiff as well.

She didn’t know what Tang Bao would say...

But... she vaguely felt that with the more affectionate life she was living with Gu Mochen, it was impossible to hide Tang Bao’s condition.

It was only a matter of time before Gu Mochen found out.

With a little pout, the little girl met Gu Mochen’s deep, indulgent gaze and muttered softly.

"Mmm... it’s like when I had a cavity before, and then, I had to have a tooth pulled by the doctor auntie, so I’m a bit scared of that..."

Gu Mochen: "..."

The little girl’s beautiful eyes were clearly evasive.

It seemed like she was hiding something from him.

Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes squinted again, a dark light flashing through them, but upon hearing this, he nodded, not intending to expose the little girl’s well-intended lie.

"Hmm... So Daddy and Tang Bao promise, from now on, you won’t have to get your teeth pulled because of cavities anymore, okay?"

"Yay..."

Tang Bao nodded earnestly, with Daddy here, she wouldn’t be scared of anything.

"Mommy, I want Daddy to hold me, since I’m a brave boy now... I should be held by Daddy to have a manly bearing... Mommy, what do you think?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to the little girl earnestly making her case with her little pout, Jian Ran’s smile tightened for a moment, then she helplessly curled her lips into a smile.
