Page 635 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the hospital room:

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen locked eyes...

The woman’s beautiful eyes were clear as water, while the man’s dark eyes were as deep as the sea, betraying a profound understanding of the human heart.

A current of tension flowed between the two individuals...The smile on Jian Ran’s lips momentarily stiffened...

Your sister.

What does it mean to ask him to call her "husband" and see what he says...

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her lips, slightly squinting her phoenix eyes.

"Gu Mochen, are you kicking me while I’m down right now?"

"Not at all, I think Mrs. Gu can consider my recent behavior as a legitimate claiming of husbandly rights."

Jian Ran: "..."

It was indeed a challenge to reason with a scumbag like Gu Mochen.

"Then I apologize, I won’t ask anymore."

Having said that, Jian Ran’s smile radiated brightly...

Gu Mochen: "..."

Why was it so difficult to coax Jian Ran to call him husband once?

However...Gu Mochen absolutely adored it when she called him husband; her voice was soft and sweet...That single word "husband" could almost melt his bones into butter.

Gu Mochen observed Jian Ran’s unmoved demeanor and wasn’t in a hurry, simply nodding his head.

"Fine, if you want to ask, you can at any time...wife."

Jian Ran: "..."

Initially, she thought the man would take the initiative to share, but it seemed...Gu Mochen was competing with her.

This term "wife," Jian Ran distinctly felt she had been taken advantage of.

The smile on Jian Ran’s lips stiffened again... Hearing the man call her "wife" for the first time, a strange feeling flashed through her heart.

"Shut up, don’t speak anymore, eat."

"Alright."

...

After lunch, Gu Mochen and Secretary Zhou were busy with work again.

Jian Ran had reminded Secretary Zhou to try and keep Gu Mochen from being too busy, but once he immersed himself in work, he regained his precision and seriousness.

Listening to the man’s fluent Italian, Jian Ran understood that Gu Mochen was in another video conference.

So, before the meeting, Gu Mochen deliberately changed into a new shirt to cover up the fact that he was injured.

"Mr. Gu, I have great respect for you, so the cooperation between Bon and Carlo with the Gu family has always been without any discount."

Gu Mochen’s lips curved in a faint smile... It was likely that Mrs. Gail’s sudden request for an urgent video call was due to some issues with a design.

"Mhm, understood... Whether it’s the Gu family or Carlo, I believe they are both the best choices for Bon."

Gu Mochen’s lips held a confident arc, giving him a somewhat wild and arrogant demeanor.

The confidence that emerged from his bones, as well as the aura of a king looking down upon the world, were undeniably evident.

Such a man was someone women longed for and men could only aspire to match.

Listening to the familiar voice on the other end of the video, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered... It must be Mrs. Gail.

Jian Ran followed Secretary Zhou’s example and used a translation app to listen to the exchange between Gu Mochen and the other party.

...

"President Gu, but... there are some things, I don’t know if I should say?"

Mrs. Gail hesitated, clearly having something on her mind she wanted to speak of.

Gu Mochen nodded slightly.

"Mhm, but go ahead."

"Ah, it’s quite awkward to bring this up, but, someone anonymously reported to Bon... saying that your wife’s work is plagiarized."

Jian Ran: "..."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Jian Ran’s lips stiffened...

This Lan Xing, Dong Qin, really wasn’t satisfied until trouble intensified.
