Page 592 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran gulped...

She had no words to retort.

Because this place was indeed meant for making things.

Like... a place where love is made.

This...

Jian Ran was a mess.

"Gu Mochen, I haven’t had lunch yet, I don’t have the strength," she said.

"Hmm... It’s fine if I have the strength. Mrs. Gu just needs to enjoy, I’ll do the moving..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Damn it.

Move your sister.

Can you please be a little more pure-minded?

Jian Ran wanted to say more, but Mo Chen had already taken the initiative to kiss the woman’s delicate lips, silencing her babbling mouth, swallowing all her words as the kiss deepened.

Inside the kitchen...

The air quickly became hot, scorching, and filled with ambiguity.

...

Afterward:

Jian Ran picked up her chopsticks and poked at the rice in her bowl...

The food was all reheated...

Gu Mochen had no shame.

He could have had the freshest.

Yet, the man chose to be a beast.

Jian Ran was so hungry she could feel her stomach sticking to her back, which made her eat even faster.

Mo Chen’s narrow dark eyes showed a hint of indulgence as he proactively picked up food for Jian Ran.

"I’m very satisfied with Mrs. Gu’s performance... hmm... How about a raise?" he said.

Jian Ran had been a bit deflated, but at Mo Chen’s words, her spirits lifted immediately... her smile becoming radiant.

"Really?"

Jian Ran still couldn’t quite believe it and asked tentatively a few times.

This scatterbrained girl...

Mo Chen was so scheming, so unfathomable, Jian Ran had always been in the dark regarding his thoughts.

Even... utterly confused.

She didn’t know whether Gu Mochen was just joking with her this time.

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen found Jian Ran’s cautious demeanor even more adorable and nodded with interest.

Jian Ran: "..."

Why... did it still feel so unbelievable?

Jian Ran gulped... and ventured tentatively.

"How much will it increase by?"

Gu Mochen loved it when Jian Ran was like this, clearly not daring to believe yet convincing herself to give it a try.

Gu Mochen fought to suppress his smile, then pretended to ponder thoughtfully, keeping Jian Ran in suspense before finally speaking nonchalantly.

"14 dollars, Mrs. Gu. What do you think?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Damn it, such a scumbag, such a beast.

He actually said 14...

How could Gu Mochen have the nerve to do such a thing?

Jian Ran was angry and slammed her chopsticks down on the table.

"Gu Mochen, is there any boss as inhumane as you?"

"Hmm? Is it too much?"

Jian Ran: "..."

This sort of question could only be asked by someone like Gu Mochen.

Too much, my ass.

Jian Ran said irritably, "How can you have the face to give only 14 dollars? If you’re so capable, why not increase by a few cents or a few dimes?"

Even Secretary Zhou gets tens of thousands.

Only I get a few bucks.

Jian Ran’s heart was not tasting good...

Because... it was too little.

Gu Mochen continued to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and a playful shimmer passed through them.

"Hmm... I have the nerve... Thank you for the suggestion, Mrs. Gu. I’ll consider it next time."
