Page 603 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the hospital ward:

Jian Ran’s tender fingertips landed on Gu Mochen’s furrowed brows...

There are certain men who are incredibly handsome at all times, to the point where they seem to have no peers.

Gu Mochen... was such a man.

Even now, ill in bed, his imposing aura had hardly diminished.

On the contrary...

It made one even more enamored with the man’s stunning features.

Jian Ran pressed her lips together, her gaze falling upon the man’s exquisite face.

Without a doubt, Gu Mochen was the handsomest man she had ever seen.

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Jian Ran’s mouth...

Perhaps, only when Gu Mochen was asleep would her timid hands dare to linger between his brows, soothing away his frown.

On ordinary days...

She would instinctively protect herself and maintain a safe distance from him.

Even if...

The two of them had already done the most intimate of things.

Subconsciously, she still felt that Gu Mochen, this man...

Was not within her reach, lacking the confidence that he would stay by her and Tang Bao’s side for a lifetime.

Once again, a bitter smile emerged on Jian Ran’s lips, wondering when she had become so lacking in confidence.

But...

As the mother of a child, should one not be more thoughtful in one’s actions?

After all... Tang Bao is still a child.

She had to be responsible for her life.

"Gu Mochen... just now..."

Why do that...

If... not to do so.

Her current state of mind wouldn’t be so complicated.

Jian Ran’s words were not entirely spoken, pausing slightly...

Jian Ran...

You’re done for.

Thoroughly bewitched by a man named Gu Mochen.

...

Jian Ran’s petite hand gently smoothed his brows over and over again, and just as she was about to withdraw her hand, the man abruptly reached out with a strong grip and seized her wrist.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise...

Her clear gaze met his still impeccable, unfathomable dark eyes, and she stood there, slightly astonished.

Gu Mochen...

Hadn’t he been unconscious just a moment ago?

When did he wake up?

Jian Ran pursed her lips, feeling a bit embarrassed she instinctively asked.

"When did you wake up?"

"Jian Ran... what were you about to say just now?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Meeting Gu Mochen’s steadfast dark gaze, Jian Ran found herself at a loss for words. His voice was somewhat hoarse and weak due to being unconscious for a long time, and his handsome face was pallid, devoid of any hint of color.

"I didn’t say anything..."

Since Gu Mochen had heard her speak, she guessed that he must have woken up when she touched his eyebrows.

A thoughtful look crossed Jian Ran’s eyes.

It seemed...

Gu Mochen’s defensive capabilities were truly strong. Even though he was seriously injured, his subconscious still reacted defensively.

This man...

Had never seemed like an ordinary businessman to her.

Jian Ran tried to withdraw her hand from his strong grasp, but Gu Mochen held on tightly, rendering her immobile.

Jian Ran furrowed her brows and instinctively spoke out.
