Page 579 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran constantly felt as if she was listening to Gu Mochen making sarcastic remarks.

This... Gu Mochen...

He... why does it seem like he’s just enjoying the show?

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her lips and said with conviction, "No way... How could Lan Xing wish that I was Mrs. Gu? She definitely hopes nobody else finds out. She thinks... as soon as she speaks up, I’ll steal all the limelight, so in order not to let me outshine her, she will surely keep it a tightly guarded secret. "

This is the dark side of a woman’s heart.

Jian Ran had long since grown accustomed to it.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Jian Ran is indeed smart.

However, what Lan Xing didn’t anticipate was that Jian Ran didn’t want to stand out at all, and in fact, she was afraid of standing out and always wanted to keep a low profile.

Gu Mochen’s lips curled up with satisfaction as he looked at the intelligent yet stunningly beautiful woman before him, and could not help but raise his right hand to gently stroke Jian Ran’s hair.

"Smart."

They say that beauty is a curse, but how many men are willing to wade into...

Jian Ran, moved by the man’s pampering gesture, couldn’t help but retort, "Gu Mochen, why did you... just now tell Dong Qin about my identity?"

"It’s simple... she was bound to find out anyway.

Han Siming got into an accident because of you, and she would naturally not let you off.

.. Even if Chu Yingying was the one who knocked into Han Siming, so the only, and the most effective, strategy is to wrap you in a protective aura, making you untouchable.

.. Therefore, apart from your identity as Mrs. Gu, I couldn’t think of a better solution. "

Jian Ran listened to the man’s logic flow with full clarity, her expression flickering.

Gu Mochen... is just like that... in Tang Bao’s words, explosively cool.

Jian Ran glanced at the man’s handsome profile, with its sharp lines and perfect refinement, and said somewhat artlessly.

"Uh... I understand now."

Jian Ran was definitely not going to admit that she was touched.

Because... the man’s subtle desire, of course, was to make it widely known that she was Mrs. Gu.

Seeing Jian Ran pout, Gu Mochen couldn’t help but think of Tang Bao often doing the same, and his thin lips involuntarily curled up.

This little habit of Tang Bao was entirely inherited from Jian Ran.

Tang Bao’s clever tricks, her hint of cunning... her little tantrums... all came from Jian Ran.

It was indeed a perfect inheritance.

He was deeply fond of both the mother and the daughter.

At the thought, Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed again, a gentle light flickering through them.

If Jian Ran were to give Tang Bao a little brother.

Then, he and the little brother, as father and son, would protect the two of them, mother and daughter.

...

Their drive home at night was slow, and by the time Jian Ran and Gu Mochen returned to the seaside villa, it was almost 12 o’clock.

Because of Gu Mochen’s beastly behavior in the office that afternoon, Jian Ran was still on guard.

As soon as they entered the villa, Jian Ran quickly said, "I’ll go to the bedroom’s bathroom to take a shower, and you can go to the study."

Instead, Gu Mochen held Jian Ran in his arms and headed towards the bathroom.

"No, we’re going to the bathroom in the bedroom together, to help me scrub my back... Relax, if you do a good job, I won’t do anything."

Jian Ran: "..."

"Can we negotiate about this?"

"No!"

"Gu Mochen, this is our home, not the Gu Family’s, I don’t need to obey you one hundred percent here."

"But this is a marital duty, as stipulated by law."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran wanted to say more, but she was already being carried straight into the bathroom by Gu Mochen. Inside the bathroom, there was already a bathtub full of hot water that Gu Mochen had managed to prepare through the car’s smart system.
