Page 703 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Though Mrs. Wang was accustomed to seeing important people, she was intimidated by Jian Ran’s presence.

The words "unclean and impure" resounded like a slap to the face.

Because of Jian Ran’s words, Mrs. Wang’s complexion turned ugly, and she spoke with irritation.

"I just simply thought the child was adorable, really adorable..."

Jian Ran narrowed her eyes, noticing something ill-intentioned in Mrs. Wang’s gaze as it lingered on Tang Bao, which set off alarm bells in her heart.

Feeling uneasy...

Why were Dong Qin and Mrs. Wang targetting Tang Bao?

Could it be they suspected Tang Bao was Han Siming’s child?

She had made herself perfectly clear...

Tang Bao had nothing to do with Han Siming... Dong Qin would surely not trust her words and would go to inquire with Han Siming.

Jian Ran’s small hand clenched tighter... a severe unease began to rise in her heart.

"Hmm."

Jian Ran responded softly, yet protected Tang Bao behind her like a hen guarding her chick, making it almost impossible for Mrs. Wang to get close.

Mrs. Wang inwardly cursed her luck and could only sheepishly retract her hand, squeezing out an awkward smile.

"Miss Jian’s defensiveness is truly strong."

"No choice... especially now when people hide their true nature, some... really are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Better be safe than sorry."

Jian Ran’s smile was radiant...

Mrs. Wang’s face turned ashen, then pale.

She knew Jian Ran was scolding her...

But she endured it.

"Alright, alright, alright, Jian Ran, you win... Humph, just you wait..."

Jian Ran responded indifferently, thinking Mrs. Wang was really one to throw her weight around.

It was just too much.

Disgust flashed through Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes. Watching Mrs. Wang leave in a huff, she let out a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Jian Ran instinctively wanted to hold Tang Bao in her embrace, but worried about drawing attention to Tang Bao in such a public place.

Secretary Zhou held Tang Bao tightly in his arms and apologized, "I’m sorry, Madam, for not protecting the little miss well enough just now."

"It’s fine. Those who come with bad intentions are not easy to handle. I believe that Mrs. Wang came here with a purpose."

Jian Ran’s lips curved into a faint smile as she furrowed her brows slightly.

"Some things are impossible to guard against."

So, there was no way around it.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhou nodded gravely and asked with concern, "Madam, should we inform President Gu about this?"

"Not for now, I will tell him once we’re home... Well, Secretary Zhou, please continue to keep a close watch on Tang Baobao."

"Yes, Madam."

Tang Bao’s large eyes looked around. Seeing Jian Ran’s worried expression, he spoke in a babyish voice:

"Mommy, don’t worry, that bad granny won’t be able to bully me again, hehe, I am a strong... little man, hmm."

Jian Ran: "..."

After all, he’s just a 3-year-old child. How can he stand a chance against someone like Mrs. Dong?

Jian Ran curled the corners of her lips and nodded firmly.

"Well... Baobao is right, but... Baobao must promise mommy... to be careful, and if you encounter any danger, remember to shout for help, understood?"

"Well... I got it."

"Hmm."

Jian Ran raised her hand and gently stroked the little girl’s hair, her eyes lingering.

Mrs. Wang had also attempted to touch Tang Bao’s hair... Normally, apart from stroking hair, people also like to pinch cheeks.
