Gu Mochen: "..."

Indeed...

Expecting Jian Ran to say anything constructive was impossible.

The one thing Jian Ran could never part with in her speech was asking for a raise.

Unfortunately, 5201314...

The most beautiful numbers and promises, I had already given them to her.

So, concerning the matter of raising her salary, Gu Mochen could indeed no longer raise it in the future, and he didn’t know... when Jian Ran would finally understand the deep meaning of those numbers.

Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed deeply at the woman before him, then he said with determined certainty, word by word.

"Let’s sleep together tonight... This bed is big enough for the two of us."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively retorted.

"Are you crazy... You’re injured right now, what if I accidentally hurt you? Plus, you need to have an IV drip, and you need to go through 6 bottles continuously tonight, it would be very inconvenient for you if I were sleeping beside you."

"It’s okay... Without you sleeping next to me, I think... my injuries would be more severe, and moreover, it would be even less convenient, I’ve grown accustomed to sleeping while holding you."

"Mrs. Gu, without you, I can’t sleep at night."

Jian Ran was taken aback, her whole person was caught by Gu Mochen’s outstretched hand gripping her wrist, and with that motion, she was directly pulled by the man to lie down on the hospital bed.

The man’s seductively musky scent mixed with the odor of antiseptics filled her breath, and Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered, not daring to move at all.

Fearing... that any movement would touch Gu Mochen’s wounds.

"Gu Mochen, you really shouldn’t be doing this... I’m worried."

"Don’t talk anymore, just sleep, let me hold you for a while, Jian Ran, I know my own body.

.. I’m just a bit scared, thinking about what would have happened if I hadn’t arrived in time today, the consequences would have been unimaginable, so I only feel some sense of safety when I’m holding you, then can I fall asleep. .."

This enchantress, Jian Ran, had already poisoned me; only her presence could antidote me.

Hearing Gu Mochen’s sentimental words, Jian Ran felt somewhat at a loss.

Just moments ago, the two of them had been at loggerheads, trading clever quips.

Now, under the precise hospital lighting, the two were having such an open and honest conversation, Jian Ran pursed her lips.

"It’s alright, I promise... next time, for Tang Bao... and for you, I will also be careful."

"Good, Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu has always had absolute faith in what you say."

Jian Ran slightly closed her beautiful eyes, and could clearly feel the man’s chin resting on top of her head, his breath right above her.

A fleeting strangeness passed through her heart...

At the moment of danger,

The first thing I thought of was Gu Mochen!

The two lay in each other’s embrace quietly, and although Jian Ran dared not fall asleep, after all the events of the day’s toll, her strength was depleted, and she fell into a deep sleep in Gu Mochen’s arms.

Gu Mochen gazed at the woman’s soft beauty, and his thin lips were pursed once more.

Jian Ran, in this state... her tranquility was a beautiful sight.

Sometimes, for the woman he loved... it seemed he could never tire of watching her.

Instinct is a very terrifying thing.

In the first instant of danger, I had almost instinctively shielded Jian Ran, fearing that she would be hurt in the slightest way.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips touched the woman’s furrowed brow, and indeed, holding Jian Ran in his arms, his wound was somewhat torn and not comfortable.

But... he found joy in it nonetheless.
