This elegant gown with its delicate strapless design, showcased Jian Ran’s perfect figure without a doubt.

Not only that... Jian Ran’s wrist was also adorned with a Jade Bracelet.

The Jade Bracelet enhanced a woman’s fair skin, making it tempting and delicate to the touch, like coagulated cream.

Jian Ran entered the scene on Gu Mochen’s arm... and admiring exclamations rose around them one after another.

Jian Ran always had a faint smile on her lips...

Standing by Gu Mochen’s side was an extremely pressuring task for her.

Because... the man was looking over the world with the bearing of an emperor.

Jian Ran’s aura was fresh and ethereal. Even her business attire at the Gu Family had already attracted much attention, but now, her outfit was absolutely stunning.

"Tired? Need to sit down and have something to eat?"

Gu Mochen asked with concern, as if no one else was present.

Jian Ran: "..."

Outwardly, Jian Ran and Gu Mochen maintained a superior-subordinate relationship.

Now... Gu Mochen’s affectionate demeanor was bound to raise suspicions.

At this thought, Jian Ran’s eyes darkened slightly as she whispered softly, "It’s nothing... I’m fine."

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen looked adoringly at the woman by his side, being amazed by Jian Ran more than just once.

But... as their relationship grew increasingly intimate, he... seemingly craved even more to see Jian Ran in a white bridal gown.

He imagined it would take his breath away even more.

Just thinking about it made Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes slightly squint.

Jian Ran was the woman he had initially chosen for marriage, and now... she was the first person he contemplated organizing a wedding with.

...

Seeing Jian Ran’s arrival, the managers from other departments, who knew she was favored by Gu Mochen, hurriedly approached with flattery.

"Manager Jian, you look exceptionally elegant today..."

Jian Ran: "..."

The cordiality was not just from Gu Mochen, it seemed.

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a smile, and a trace of darkness flashed through her beautiful eyes. Before she had a chance to speak, she heard Gu Mochen’s chilly voice.

"Manager Xu, are you implying that Jian Ran usually lacks elegance?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Xu was scared out of his wits.

With Gu Mochen saying that, he was left with no way to save face.

Was Gu Mochen taking Jian Ran’s side in this?

Manager Xu swallowed hard and tentatively said, "Heh heh... President Gu, I firmly believe that Manager Jian has always been very elegant."

Jian Ran: "..."

Gu Mochen had really done enough.

Jian Ran looked at Gu Mochen’s proud and aloof demeanor, speaking softly.

"Manager Xu is too kind... Thank you for the excessive praise."

"Of course, of course... Manager Jian’s elegance is superb... In the future, we’ll hope for even more support from Manager Jian."

The marketing department... and the design department, they really weren’t connected at all.

Manager Xu was indeed telling some blatant lies.

Jian Ran’s lips showed a faint smile as she spoke softly, "We are all employees of the Gu Family, it’s natural to help each other, there is no such thing as favors involved."

"Exactly, exactly... Manager Jian makes a good point."

Manager Xu’s face was full of smile, very fawning and insincere.

Jian Ran felt somewhat troubled, she pursed her lips and reached out a small hand to lightly massage her hair.

...

Gu Mochen saw Jian Ran’s discomfort, dismissed Manager Xu, and then walked to the nearby buffet table to get a cup of water for Jian Ran.
