Page 605 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Gu Mochen... Are you still a child?"

"No... It’s just... I can’t fathom your thoughts."

Jian Ran’s lips twitched because of the man’s meaningful words, and she met his deep, ink-like eyes, which contained a profound affection like the sea... With such a gaze, Jian Ran felt as if her mind and soul had been hooked away by the man.

Jian Ran pursed her lips...

The man was as bewitchingly handsome as Gu Mochen, captivating in such a way that truly, no one else compared.

"Gu Mochen..."

"Hmm? Jian Ran... tell me first... are you going to leave?"

Jian Ran: "..."

To leave or not to leave...

Clearly moved, though one might leave, the heart cannot.

Jian Ran awkwardly averted her gaze, then looking back at the man’s handsome face, she arched an eyebrow and said, "How about a raise?"

Gu Mochen: "..."

Indeed...

It was Jian Ran.

Gu Mochen’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, a dark light flashing through them.

"Jian Ran, I am your husband. You are staying to take care of me now... and you still want a raise?"

"Of course... Even between husband and wife, we need to settle accounts clearly. I am very principled in my work, and my principle is three words, ’raise my salary!’"

Jian Ran said with justifiable pride, leaving Gu Mochen somewhat at a loss for words.

Gu Mochen suppressed the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, gazing profoundly at the woman in front of him, and seriously began to speak, word by word.

"Sorry! I believe I’ve already given you everything I can... so, I can’t offer you a raise. Any salary adjustments will have to be based on the future development of Gu Family."

Jian Ran: "..."

Dammit, you’ve got to be kidding me.

A few bucks, and you call that the best?

Jian Ran was simply at a loss for words, her face cooling upon hearing Gu Mochen’s response.

"Hmm... Furthermore... If you dare to leave, I’ll call Qin Mu and tell our daughter."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she asked instinctively upon hearing the man’s shameless words.

"How do you know Tang Baobao is at Qin’s place?"

"Qin... is particularly suited for holding our daughter to sleep at night... Secretary Zhou is just for picking up and dropping off... Staying overnight, the Qin Family is clearly the best choice."

Jian Ran: "..."

Sometimes, Jian Ran really felt that Gu Mochen was a completely bewitched man.

This man, not only completely understood her thoughts, but even with serious injuries and still in a coma, he was clear-headed and had everything at his fingertips.

Jian Ran swallowed, speaking irritably.

"Gu Mochen, don’t you have any pride... to actually use our daughter to make your point?"

"Sorry... The method does not depend on the quantity, pride and such... what matters is its effectiveness."

Jian Ran: "..."

The smile at the corner of Jian Ran’s mouth stiffened as she looked at the man’s handsome, yet pale and frail face, she spoke irritably, "Alright... I won’t leave, you wait here for me, I’m going to call the doctor."

"Yes!"

Gu Mochen always believed in Jian Ran’s promises.

Jian Ran was a person whose word was as good as gold.

...

Although it was the early hours of the morning, because the patient in the ICU was Gu Mochen, Qin Mu and Secretary Zhou had arranged for all the specialist consultations.

After a thorough examination of Gu Mochen by the doctors... and confirming his condition was stable, they also marveled at the man’s strong constitution and his good mental state.

"It’s late, get some rest..."
