"No need."

After Gu Mochen finished drinking, he handed the glass to the waiter, and the rest of the design department’s staff swallowed hard.

How envious they were of Manager Jian... having an indirect kiss with Gu Mochen.

So envious of that cup just now, actually kissed by Gu Mochen.

All in all, so envious... very envious indeed...

Jian Ran felt awkward.

It was one thing for her to do it unconsciously, but could it be that Gu Mochen, a man whose thoughts were as deep as the sea, had also made an oversight?

Compared to Jian Ran’s somewhat cramped state, Gu Mochen’s thin lips curled slightly, his thoughts as profound as the sea. His French custom-made high-end black suit emphasized his perfect physique even more, and the black sapphire diamond cufflinks on his wrist were even more expensive.

"Rather than congratulating Jian Ran, it would be more practical to present one’s own achievements."

Jian Ran: "..."

Crisp and decisive.

That really was Gu Mochen.

In fact, when the design department’s staff heard Gu Mochen’s words, they nodded their heads tentatively, trembling.

"Yes, President Gu..."

Originally, everyone wanted to flatter Gu Mochen, but given his imposing aura, they all scattered in a rush.

The aura of President Gu was truly too intimidating.

It was absolutely chilling.

...

When everyone had left, Jian Ran couldn’t help but speak up.

"President Gu, was it really okay for you to use the glass I was drinking from just now? Didn’t you say you had... a fear of germs?"

"Cured by Mrs. Gu."

The man’s voice was low, his large hand rested on Jian Ran’s slender waist, his possessiveness barely concealed as he gave a gentle squeeze, and the smile at the corner of his mouth thickened.

Jian Ran: "..."

Hearing the man’s words, especially the man’s devilishly enticing breath mixed with the seductive scent of musk on his body, Jian Ran felt somewhat flustered.

Yes... after all, she used to feel somewhat uncomfortable eating or using things Gu Mochen had used.

Now... after the passionate kiss with the man, after having tasted his saliva, she seemed not to mind so much anymore.

Jian Ran looked at the grand scene before her, luxuriously extravagant, and couldn’t help but say.

"Gu Mochen, isn’t this promotion celebration too extravagant?"

"Not at all... because... I am a businessman, I never make a losing deal."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise...

Was this just a promotion within the Gu Family company, could it bring any good business to Gu Mochen?

"Hmm? Tell me about it..."

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran, completely baffled, his hand even more possessive as he wrapped around her slender waist, pulling Jian Ran entirely into his arms, pressing her chest against his with no gap in between.

Jian Ran furrowed her lovely brows... she was even more puzzled by the man’s subtle actions.

"It’s simple... I’ve spent money on a promotion party for Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu will repay it with her body at night."

Jian Ran: "..."

Damn it.

It took Jian Ran a moment to react, understanding the man’s intention, and the smile on her lips stiffened.

What a businessman, not making a losing deal indeed.

Gu Mochen like this... she really had no idea...

A glint of limpid light flitted across Jian Ran’s phoenix eyes. Seeing Gu Mochen like this, her lips curled into a charming and attractive arc. Then, rising on her tiptoes, she approached the man’s ear and whispered softly.

"Sorry... Mr. Gu, the doctor said... within 2 weeks, we cannot have sexual intercourse, otherwise... the wound could tear open again."

Gu Mochen: "..."

Jian Ran took the doctor’s advice as if it were a royal decree.

Gu Mochen squinted his eyes slightly and raised an eyebrow, "I believe... I’m almost healed, tonight, Mrs. Gu can inspect the goods."

Inspect your sister.

When Jian Ran heard what Gu Mochen said, she strongly disdained him in her mind.

Fortunately, she and Gu Mochen were in a corner, so their intimate behavior went unnoticed by others.

However, if other people were to see her and Gu Mochen interacting like this, they would no longer think their relationship was innocent.

As the two gazed into each other’s eyes, it looked very intimate, and Jian Ran felt she was about to lose herself in Gu Mochen’s deep and profound eyes.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion came from the doorway.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes were startled, and both she and Gu Mochen looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Dong Qin’s figure...

Dong Qin was wearing her usual luxurious gown... with flashy jewelry on her hands, neither were they idly adorned.

She looked like an empress, towering above all, with a demeanor intent on crushing everyone beneath her feet.

Seeing the woman like this, the corners of Jian Ran’s mouth curved up with a trace of scoffing.

She had thought... after having taken a tumble in public that day, this woman would have learned her lesson and wouldn’t come looking for trouble deliberately.

Now it seemed... this woman had come uninvited and even on purpose.

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened as she felt the air pressure around Gu Mochen turn colder, his whole being exuding a chilling aura that made people shudder.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed slightly, and without a change in expression, he reached out his large hand to hold Jian Ran’s small one, reassuring her.

"Don’t worry, I’m here."

Jian Ran nodded, met the man’s deep eyes, and their gazes locked... with a unified target.

That was to disdain Dong Qin, that scum.

"Alright."

...

As Dong Qin entered the venue, she was struck by how lavish Gu Mochen had been and immediately started searching through the crowd for Tang Bao’s small figure.

Tang Bao... She was the reason she had come today.

Even though Tang Bao was likely Gu Mochen’s seed, certain things still need to be verified afterward.

Who knew if Jian Ran, this vixen, had not slept with other men afterward due to a lack of money.

Dong Qin’s eyes were full of spite as she spotted the purple figure held by Secretary Zhou in the corner, her expression brightened, and she gestured with her eyes to the nanny Wang behind her and said in a sharp voice.

"Go and pluck a hair from her head for me, be quick about it, understand?"

Nanny Wang got the hint and immediately responded.

"Understood, madam..."

"Hmph."

Dong Qin’s lips curled up, then she looked toward Gu Mochen and Jian Ran walking in her direction and quickly went to greet them.

She now needed to give Nanny Wang time to act.

...

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen walked towards Dong Qin, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes furrowed, not knowing why, she subconsciously felt Dong Qin bore ill intentions.

It seemed... her target was not on herself.

Nor on Gu Mochen.

And with that thought, Jian Ran’s hand tightened.

Feeling uneasy...
