Page 701 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the lobby of the Blue Sky Building:

One who comes with ill intent is seldom a well-wisher, and Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes coolly regarded the Dong Qin standing before her.

This Dong Qin... had been defeated earlier that day.

Given Dong Qin’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t have come back.

After all... she was an untouchable queen who ignored everything and everyone.

Jian Ran pursed her lips, for the spectators were present, all inquiringly looking at her and Gu Mochen. The corners of Jian Ran’s mouth lifted in a slight curve.

"Mrs. Dong, I wonder what wind blew you here. You took quite a fall today at the Gu Family company. I was worried... you might have damaged your brain."

As she spoke, Jian Ran’s lips curled into a light smile, her gaze lightly falling on the woman before her.

Dong Qin, upon hearing Jian Ran mention the day’s events, felt a surge of rage but had to restrain herself due to Gu Mochen’s presence.

Gu Mochen’s slender dark eyes narrowed slightly, full of icy coldness, emitting a soul-gripping and dangerous aura.

"Mrs. Dong... coming uninvited, is that really okay? Hmm?"

In between Gu Mochen’s words, each word was wrapped with chill, exuding an icy frost, a stark contrast to the warmth of the man just earlier.

Jian Ran knew... she and Tang Bao had been set apart in Gu Mochen’s heart from everyone else.

Warmth crept into her heart at the thought of such a clean and pure man.

"I... I’m here to celebrate Ranran’s recent promotion to Head of the Design Department at the Gu Family, Mo Chen... after all, I am your father’s current wife... you could be a bit nicer to me."

"Sorry... Gu Wei only ever took a marriage certificate with my mother... so, at best, the two of you are just cohabiting."

Gu Mochen spoke indifferently, cutting off Dong Qin, and Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Cohabitation relationship?

Dong Qin hadn’t even registered her marriage with Gu Wei yet...

Jian Ran couldn’t help but be taken aback.

This Dong Qin, it seemed her means were not that exceptional after all. Given her arrogant demeanor, one would have thought she was the rightful matriarch of the Gu Family.

Now it seems it was all for show.

The more she thought about it, a cold sneer curled on Jian Ran’s lips, filled with derision.

Dong Qin’s face grew uglier due to Gu Mochen’s straightforward words.

"Gu Mochen, you’ve gone too far."

"Sorry, I’m just being realistic."

Gu Mochen replied coolly as his whole being radiated coldness, the chill intimidating, and his dark eyes even more so, filled with a deadly air that made one shudder.

Dong Qin quickly lost her footing, silently praying that Wang Sao could successfully obtain Tang Bao’s hair, her fingers tensing, clenching into fists.

Hmph... Gu Mochen, you’ll soon get what’s coming to you.

"But at the end of the day, a visitor is a guest. Mo Chen, Ranran, don’t you think your hospitality is a bit... lacking?"

Jian Ran pondered the underlying meaning in the woman’s words, furrowing her beautiful eyes.

Her gaze fell behind Dong Qin; there were bodyguards but no sign of Wang Sao.

And Wang Sao was usually by her side at all times...

Where could she have gone?

"Gu Mochen, I’m going to the restroom, you chat with Mrs. Dong."

Noticing the depth and hints in Jian Ran’s eyes, Gu Mochen nodded his head.

"Sure..."

...

Jian Ran didn’t say goodbye to Dong Qin, but simply left. Dong Qin wanted to stop her, but Gu Mochen blocked her directly.

"Mrs. Dong, I’ve always given you some respect for Siming’s sake. I don’t provoke those who don’t provoke me, but there should be a line that must not be crossed, or else... I will not be lenient, understand?"
