Page 602 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

The only remaining family member.

So, sometimes, I’m too selfish, knowing full well that he has feelings for me.

But I crave the gentleness emanating from him...

I can’t leave.

Because... I really lack family affection, just like Tang Bao.

"You girl, being so formal with your young master again... Alright, stop crying... Look at you... The clothes I’m wearing are incredibly expensive, and you’ve dirtied them... Aiyo, with tears all over your face, Jian Ran, aren’t you ashamed..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Qin Mu was really enough.

With her eyes reddening, Jian Ran said irritably, "Then stay away from me."

"No way... I need to stay close to you, and you can’t cry anymore... Alright, I’ll confess honestly, I couldn’t care less about these clothes... If you keep crying, I’ll feel heartbroken."

Jian Ran: "..."

So... Qin Mu.

Looking into Qin Mu’s sincere black eyes, Jian Ran nodded with her own eyes still reddened.

"Mmm... I understand now..."

Qin Mu smiled broadly... extending his large hand to encircle Jian Ran’s slender shoulders.

"Sigh... Where in the world could you find a brother as good as me... doting on his sister so much... Jian Ran, don’t worry. Gu Mochen will be alright. He can call me ’big brother’ politely. Otherwise... I won’t acknowledge him as my brother-in-law."

Jian Ran: "..."

Brother-in-law...

Sister.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes shimmered, realizing the deep meaning behind Qin Mu’s words.

Qin Mu...

Thank you.

...

Gu Mochen was brought to the VIP ward at 10 PM, with Qin Mu and Secretary Zhou arranging the best lodging environment and care for him.

Although Chu Yingying’s blade had pierced into Gu Mochen’s back,

the location on the back was precisely where Gu Mochen’s heart was situated in the front chest.

The blade was less than a centimeter away from the heart.

So, earlier in the emergency room, when everyone tried to remove the blade, it was extremely difficult.

"Who is the patient’s relative?"

"I... I am, I’m the patient’s wife."

For the first time... Jian Ran did not avoid acknowledging her relationship with Gu Mochen but actively admitted it.

"Well, the patient’s condition still requires observation, he is not out of danger yet, and will need good care during this period."

"Okay, I understand..."

...

Seeing Jian Ran looking somewhat distressed, the doctor could only discuss all the precautions with Secretary Zhou.

Jian Ran directly entered the ward...

Walking into the ward, Jian Ran saw Gu Mochen quietly lying on the hospital bed, his upper body wrapped in gauze, and his shirt taken off and placed to the side.

The man’s hawk-like eyes were still as furrowed as ever.

Lips tightly compressed...

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she extended her hand to pick up the bloodstained shirt that had just been removed from Gu Mochen, holding it in her palm.

On the back... there was a large cut.

Pierced by a sharp blade.

Jian Ran pursed her lips and quietly sat beside Gu Mochen.

Mmm... It was the first time...

Seeing Gu Mochen appear so weak and vulnerable before her.

Jian Ran suppressed the odd feeling in her heart and, seeing some bloodstains on Gu Mochen’s body, picked up a warm, wet towel to gently wipe the man’s hand and cheek.

...

Qin Mu and Secretary Zhou soon also entered.

"Madam... It’s getting late, you should go back and rest. I can take care of Mr. Gu."

Jian Ran forced a smile on her lips.

"No need, Secretary Zhou, the caregiver and I can take care of him tonight. I think... there are many things in the Gu Family that you need to handle."

Now Secretary Zhou was the one who had to stand in.

If something happened in the company... that would also be quite a headache.

Secretary Zhou, seeing Jian Ran’s resolute eyes, nodded.

"By the way... Madam, tomorrow is the day the new manager of the design department will be selected... Usually, Mr. Gu would need to attend... but as you can see... it’s just not possible..."

"Madam, should we cancel it or postpone it?"

Jian Ran listened to Secretary Zhou’s words, her eyes darkening.

Choosing a new manager for the design department was not just about one department; the entire company was watching.

To cancel now... or postpone, would be too telling.

"No need, Secretary Zhou, carry on as normal... Inform them that Gu Mochen has gone to Italy on a sudden business trip, so he cannot attend."

"Understood, Madam..."

"Thank you for the trouble."

Jian Ran offered a mild smile. Everything else would wait until Gu Mochen woke up to be decided.

She knew little about the affairs of the company.

...

After Secretary Zhou prepared clean clothes and dinner for Jian Ran, he left.

Qin Mu, having finished dinner with Jian Ran, showed no signs of leaving...

After Jian Ran hastily cleaned the blood off in the restroom and changed into new casual clothes, she noticed Qin Mu had still not planned to leave, and said softly.

"Qin Mu, won’t you go home and cuddle up with my daughter to sleep... My daughter... might turn the Qin Family upside down tonight if you don’t."

Qin Mu: "..."

This Tang Bao...

Indeed, she recognizes familiar people when it’s time to sleep.

Qin Mu’s lips twitched slightly.

With the old man doting on the little LOLI so much...

Of course, he was excessively indulgent.

"I can’t, I’m worried about you being here all by yourself..."

"Mmm... I’m not a child."

With a small smile, Jian Ran said softly, "Go, then... and remember, don’t tell her about Gu Mochen’s accident, Tang Baobao is quite precocious, she’ll keep it in her heart and worry too much."

Qin Mu understood what Jian Ran meant and nodded.

"Alright, give me a call if you need anything."

"Will do."

...

After Qin Mu left, the caregiver rested in the lounge outside, leaving only Jian Ran and Gu Mochen alone in the quiet ward.

Jian Ran’s gaze fell upon the man’s constantly furrowed brows, and she subconsciously lifted her hand to his forehead, tenderly smoothing out the wrinkles between his brows...

She did not notice the man’s hand move slightly.
