Page 643 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran’s lips twitched slightly as she returned to the office and heard Gu Mochen methodically sorting out each and every issue with clear logic, rigorously summarizing them all for Secretary Zhou’s feedback.

Secretary Zhou, on the other hand, took careful notes.

Though Gu Mochen had not gone to the Gu Family’s company for the entire day, not a single matter had been neglected.

Watching the man work so earnestly, Jian Ran found an undeniable charm in his dedication.

After a long while, when Gu Mochen had finished giving Secretary Zhou feedback on today’s work, his thin lips parted lightly.

"Just handle it like that, and if there are any issues, ask me," he said.

"Understood, President Gu... I’ll head back to the company now, leaving the lady to take care of you here," Secretary Zhou replied.

"Mhm."

Gu Mochen responded indifferently. Jian Ran watched as Secretary Zhou walked towards her, said goodbye, and left. She then made her way directly to Gu Mochen’s bedside and spoke softly.

"Take a nap. The nurse just told me that they’ve adjusted your IV for this afternoon to after 9 pm, so it won’t interfere with your normal work."

"Okay."

"Then you rest for a bit. I’m planning to go pick up Tang Bao shortly, and then take Tang Bao to the Qin Family.

That way, the little girl won’t get suspicious.

Otherwise, if neither of us shows up, she’ll surely be worried sick.

.. Actually, Tang Baobao was quite sensitive even when she was younger. "

After all, the little one had been without a daddy since childhood and often overheard the neighborhood gossip.

And then... the little girl’s health wasn’t very good either.

So all these multiple concerns had left some mark in the little girl’s heart.

It was just that the little girl was naturally cheerful in disposition... and didn’t take these matters too seriously.

But as a mother, Jian Ran knew what her child was thinking better than anyone; what she couldn’t bear most was to see her precious daughter suffer.

Hearing Jian Ran speak like this, Gu Mochen stretched out his large hand to clasp her slender wrist, his thin lips forming a tight line.

"I’ll go with you... After we take Tang Bao to the Qin Family, we’ll come back," he insisted.

Jian Ran: "..."

She managed a smile at his somewhat mad idea, finding herself unable to help but reprimand him.

"Gu Mochen... your wound hasn’t healed yet; you can’t just leave the hospital on a whim. What if it gets infected?"

"This little wound is nothing to me... Let’s go," he brushed off.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran wanted to say more, but then she saw Gu Mochen already getting out of bed and putting on his shirt and jacket... Since bending was difficult for him, putting on dress pants would be problematic.

"Jian Ran... Help me," he requested.

Jian Ran: "..."

Feeling a pang of pity, Jian Ran knew that once Gu Mochen decided to do something, nobody else could dissuade him.

"Gu Mochen, you really shouldn’t leave the hospital to go to the kindergarten in your current state."

"I know... but Tang Bao doesn’t know..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Hearing his words, Jian Ran averted her gaze unnaturally, only to be confronted by the man’s emphatic words ringing in her ear.

"We’ve always been the ones to pick her up before. Now, if I suddenly stop going for two days, the child will think... After finally having a daddy, he has disappeared... Right?"

Confronted with Gu Mochen’s precise and detailed remarks, Jian Ran couldn’t help but speak out in protest.

"I understand, so, if we go pick her up after a few days, she’ll definitely be happy. I’ll also tell her that you were on a business trip and couldn’t make it."
