Page 654 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed into a smile as he expressed his thanks.

All was communicated without saying anything...

It was evident to Gu Mochen that Old Master Qin was fond of Tang Bao.

"Okay, no problem."

...

Qin Mu escorted Jian Ran and Gu Mochen to the door and spoke directly.

"Ran girl... I heard there was trouble in the design department..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to Qin Mu’s concerned words, Jian Ran pursed her lips and said softly,

"Sorry... um, I didn’t tell you, not because I was trying to hide it, just that... it’s not worth mentioning, it’s all just troublesome stuff."

Jian Ran’s lips curved into a faint smile as she continued softly,

"It’s about plagiarism. I was going to be promoted to the head of the Gu Family design department, but the current head was not happy... so they stirred up all these issues. Qin San, don’t worry, it’s not a big deal."

No matter how big her problems were, they couldn’t compare to the issues at Qin Mu’s Dongheng International.

Thus... Jian Ran didn’t want to make a big fuss just because she had a bit of trouble.

Qin Mu gazed deeply at the woman who kept all her troubles to herself and pursed his lips,

"Look at you... even I’m not inclined to scold you. You’ve been like this since high school... you were like this 4 years ago... and you’re still like this now. Can’t you lean on someone for a change, like me, for example?"

Jian Ran looked at Qin Mu’s annoyed expression and raised her hand, giving the man a playful hit on his chest.

"That’s enough... stop putting on an act, um, it’s no big deal. You should get back inside... it’s cold outside, no need to see us out."

Gu Mochen watched the warm interaction between Jian Ran and Qin Mu, his lips curving almost imperceptibly.

The interaction between Jian Ran and Qin Mu was different from that between Jian Ran and Han Siming.

Han Siming... after 4 years, came back with the determination to win Jian Ran over again, but Qin Mu seemed to be more about companionship.

So... Gu Mochen somewhat understood the dynamic between these two people.

Gu Mochen’s eyes slightly narrowed, a deep gaze flickering through them.

"Young Master Qin, thanks for your trouble yesterday."

The conversation between men, all was communicated without saying anything.

Qin Mu was somewhat surprised that the renowned Gu Mochen would actually thank him personally, with a slight surprise, then he pursed his lips and said,

"Gu Mochen... congratulations..."

You’ve won...

Jian Ran, whether in person, in heart, or even under the law, is now Gu Mochen’s woman.

So...

He had lost.

Qin Mu, not reconciled to having lost to Han Siming, was determined to get back at him.

But having lost to Gu Mochen, he accepted it wholeheartedly.

He felt that losing didn’t really seem to matter much after all...

Gu Mochen stared intently at the man in front of him.

Listening to Qin Mu’s "congratulations", his heart wasn’t exactly overjoyed.

He had indeed taken advantage of vulnerability.

When Jian Ran needed a million, he had provided it... at that time, Jian Ran was avoiding old acquaintances...

Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes lightly squinted as he said softly,

"You’ve been very generous, Young Master Qin."

Jian Ran watched the undercurrent between the two men and pursed her lips, feeling out of her depth.

Originally, Qin Mu and Gu Mochen, vying against each other, were not... that easy to get along with.

Today... they seemed to be getting along harmoniously.

"You two don’t have any issues, right?"

"No issues, women don’t need to get involved in men’s affairs."
