Page 615 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen’s lips curled into a satisfied smile before he wrapped his arms around the woman in his embrace and fell into a deep sleep.

...

Jian Ran woke up the next day to the sounds of someone moving beside her...

"Sir... this really isn’t right."

"Shut up, don’t talk."

"Sir... your wound... we..."

"Dammit, didn’t I tell you to stay quiet? Do you not understand that you are disturbing my wife’s sleep?"

"This..."

Opening her bleary eyes, she found herself lying in Gu Mochen’s arms, with his left hand hooked up to an IV drip and his right arm wrapped around her.

Jian Ran had originally kept a safe distance from Gu Mochen when she went to sleep...

But to her surprise, she woke up with her head resting on his arm, which brought her to full alertness in an instant.

This was bad.

Gu Mochen was still a patient.

As Jian Ran sat up, she noticed a damp spot on Gu Mochen’s chest, and her face immediately flushed red...

Damn, she had drooled in her sleep again.

The nurse standing anxiously beside Gu Mochen, upon seeing Jian Ran wake up in a daze, couldn’t help but speak.

"Madam, you’re finally awake. Your husband’s wound has reopened, but he wouldn’t let us wake you. Please get up quickly so we can perform a thorough examination and dressing for the patient."

Jian Ran: "..."

Hearing the nurse’s words, Jian Ran suddenly realized... that a line of doctors and nurses had assembled in the room at some point, all wearing serious expressions.

Jian Ran’s eyes moved to Gu Mochen’s reopened wound and the spreading crimson of blood, and her complexion changed.

"Gu Mochen... how are you feeling?"

Gu Mochen glanced indifferently at the nurse who had just spoken out of turn and, seeing the panic in Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes, replied nonchalantly.

"It’s nothing. I have the same little habit as Tang Baobao... Jian Ran, you really passed it on perfectly to Tang Bao."

With that, he lifted his hand to her lips and affectionately wiped them.

Feeling his gentle touch at the corner of her mouth, Jian Ran’s face turned fiery red in an instant.

Now, not only did she drool on the man, but her lips were wet as well...

Jian Ran was beyond embarrassed.

"Umm... sorry, sorry, could you please check him first?"

Jian Ran hurriedly got out of Gu Mochen’s arms to make room for the doctors, distressed at the sight of his pale chest stained with fresh blood.

She... shouldn’t have indulged Gu Mochen’s whims last night.

After Gu Mochen’s wound was redressed with medicine... because it was almost time for work, Jian Ran quickly changed into a clean set of professional attire in the washroom—outfits that Secretary Zhou had prepared in advance.

Secretary Zhou also brought Jian Ran and Gu Mochen a hearty breakfast.

When Jian Ran emerged after changing, she overheard the doctor’s earnest advice to Gu Mochen.

"Sir... your wound is very deep, and it’s in a special location... so you really need to be extra careful."

"Mhm."

Gu Mochen’s response was indifferent, a mere murmur of acknowledgment without any intention of elaboration.

Seeing Gu Mochen’s aloof demeanor which made the doctor somewhat uncomfortable, Jian Ran quickly interjected, "Doctor, I will remind him... don’t worry, I’m sorry, and I’ll be more careful with him in the future as well."

"It’s not just that, oh, and... madam... your husband’s condition is a bit special now... after all, he is injured. I know, between a young couple, passions can flare... but you really have to restrain yourselves at critical moments."
