Page 627 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Okay, Mrs."

...

Jian Ran cast a casual glance at Secretary Zhou, and as she was preparing to return to the design department, she received a call from Gu Mochen.

"Mrs. Gu... I want to go to the restroom."

Jian Ran: "..."

She really had become a nursemaid.

Jian Ran bit her lip, listening to the man’s charming and seductive voice on the phone, she spoke up with annoyance.

"Gu Mochen... don’t you know you should call a nurse?"

"I’ve dismissed all the nurses... they were asking for 1000 yuan a day..."

For a top-notch nurse, that’s indeed the price.

Upon hearing this, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she unconsciously retorted, "What? 1000?"

"Mm-hmm... Mrs. Gu also thinks it’s high, right... So, to avoid wasting money for the household, I decisively dismissed them, and it will suffice to have Mrs. Gu take care of me, after all... I was injured trying to save Mrs. Gu, and now I am a patient."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran had initially wanted to ask Gu Mochen why he dismissed the nurses, but now after hearing the man’s complete reasoning, the smile at the corner of her mouth momentarily stiffened, and she couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

"Gu Mochen, are you implying... you’re giving me that 1000 yuan?"

"Of course not... We’re husband and wife, talking about money hurts the feelings..."

"Hmm... what if there were no feelings?"

"People say money can’t buy love, so... even with more money, it can’t be bought, right?"

Jian Ran: "..."

In regards to Gu Mochen’s eloquence, Jian Ran had always been in awe. Now... she couldn’t find proof and even less so the desire to stay at Gu Family. Heading to Gu Mochen’s hospital room was the best option.

With a pursing of her lips, Jian Ran responded softly to Gu Mochen’s words.

"Hmm... wait for me at the hospital, I’ll come to you and also bring you some soup. What would you like to drink?"

"Anything... whatever you make is fine."

"Hmm..."

Listening to the man’s magnetic voice over the phone, Jian Ran’s mind gradually calmed down. The deep meaning behind Gu Mochen’s call went without saying; it was likely not about wanting to go to the restroom or wanting to eat, but simply concern... for her.

...

Jian Ran hung up the phone, then turned to Secretary Zhou and said softly,

"Secretary Zhou, I need to go to the hospital to check on Gu Mochen; his wound tore open again this morning, and I’m not at ease."

Saying such words of concern for Gu Mochen directly to him was something Jian Ran did not quite feel comfortable doing, but when with others, her concern for Gu Mochen involuntarily showed itself.

Work and personal life are two different things...

Although Jian Ran was currently extremely anxious, her concern for Gu Mochen had not diminished.

Each in its own place...

"Okay, Mrs., I happen not to be busy, and I can take you. Mr. Gu has instructed that I must take good care of your comings and goings."

Looking into Secretary Zhou’s sincere eyes, Jian Ran nodded her head.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you."

"It’s nothing... hehe, if it weren’t for you, Mrs., I wouldn’t have gotten any bonus at all. It’s only right to escort you out."

Jian Ran, upon hearing Secretary Zhou’s words that slipped out unconsciously, was taken aback.

"Why do you say that?"

No sooner had Secretary Zhou finished speaking than he realized he might have... misspoken.

"Cough cough... Well, when I address you as Mrs. in front of Mr. Gu, it makes him happy... and he just generously gave me a bonus of 30,000 yuan."
