Page 716 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Four years ago...

That man.

That nightmare.

Jian Ran had thought she would never encounter that man again in her life, nor would there be any other tangling affairs.

But to her surprise, just when she was immersed in happiness, this devil-like man had come knocking at her door.

It took a good while... for Jian Ran to come back to her senses after the shock, her voice hoarse, she croaked.

"Sorry, you must have the wrong number... or is this some kind of prank call? Hm? If you keep harassing me like this, I’m going to call the police."

Jian Ran tried to act cool and competent, but her quivering voice betrayed the tremble in her heart at this moment.

The other party let out a light snort, clearly laughing at Jian Ran’s naivety.

"Four years ago... Yeyan International... the corner private room... have you really forgotten? I remember... I turned off the lights... and you thought you knocked over a glass of water, causing the whole room’s electrical circuit to burn out."

Jian Ran: "..."

Just who is this man?

Jian Ran’s face turned pale.

Such detail, besides herself and that man, no one else would know.

Jian Ran darkened her eyes, her small hand holding the phone also trembled violently, and then she heard the man’s brazen, lascivious laughter echo in her ear.

"Jian Ran... you have the best taste among all the women I’ve been with... I never expected you were still green... Even more unexpected was that you gave birth to my daughter three years ago."

Jian Ran: "..."

Past humiliating scenes flooded in like a deluge.

The man’s heavy breathing, the woman’s quiet sobs.

Jian Ran wished the man on the other end of the phone would be cast into the eighteenth level of hell.

Does he know he ruined her life...

Tears welled up in Jian Ran’s eyes as she heard the man’s words, her voice hoarse, "You rapist, you dare to show up before me... it was you who raped me..."

Every moment, whenever Tang Bao was not in good health,

Jian Ran would feel deep regret and remorse.

That one accident...

If only she and this devil could have taken some responsibility, Tang Bao wouldn’t have had to grow up in such a harsh environment.

She wouldn’t have developed diabetes.

Other children grew up with their elders around them, but Tang Bao only had her mother.

Other children’s favorite thing to eat was candy... but Tang Bao couldn’t have any.

Other children grew up healthy, but Tang Bao had been a constant patient from a young age, even now needing to persist with daily injections.

Jian Ran’s eyes reddened, her fingernails almost digging into her palm, the pain unnoticed.

The man on the other end of the phone, however, completely ignored this, straightforwardly saying.

"I’m waiting for you downstairs at the Gu Family building... hurry down. If you don’t, be careful I tell everyone in Gu Family about our affair from four years ago, hmph, you say I’m a rapist, but weren’t you enjoying it too?"

"Shameless."

She had never seen such scum of a man.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but angrily rebuke him.

But just after she finished scolding... she heard the beeping tone from the other end of the phone; the other side had hung up.

Jian Ran’s eyes red, her small hand trembling as she put down the phone, now extremely panicked and unsure what to do.

Go down?

Despite being mentally resilient...

Seeing the devil from four years ago still caused Jian Ran’s heart to shudder violently.

If it wasn’t for Tang Bao...

Jian Ran would most likely have called the police without worrying about her reputation.

Allowing such scum to remain at large was unfair to other women in society.

But... Tang Bao.

She was still too young.

Jian Ran did not want it to become public knowledge, nor did she want Tang Bao to know the real reason behind her birth or what kind of man her father really was.

Jian Ran was extremely anxious, her thoughts jumbled. Suddenly, the office phone rang again; it beeped only once, and Jian Ran instinctively lifted her hand to answer it.

"Scum... have you had enough?"

After Jian Ran yelled, she heard Gu Mochen’s magnetic words sound from the other end, tinged with confusion.

"Jian Ran, what happened?"

Jian Ran: "..."

It was Gu Mochen!

Jian Ran’s face changed, the man’s familiar voice lingering in her ear, her thoughts momentarily calmed, but still visibly distressed.

"Nothing! I just received a harassing phone call... and couldn’t help getting angry, now... those pyramid schemes are really too much."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen frowned, his thin lips pursed.

"Well, I’ll have the tech department block them next time. You don’t need to answer calls from unknown numbers."

Jian Ran: "..."

Not being able to receive calls – if that man really got annoyed... he could find out where she works, he could even know Tang Bao’s name.

He would definitely be able to find out Tang Bao’s school.

If that kind of ruffian caused trouble, it would be troublesome.

Hearing Gu Mochen’s firm words, Jian Ran said in a hoarse voice.

"No need, no need... What if it’s a call from a business partner? There’s no need to block them all, really... truly not necessary."

Gu Mochen found Jian Ran’s reaction somewhat strange, squinting his eyes, a flicker of confusion passing through.

"Hmm... next time be cautious, and if it’s an unsolicited call from non-business partners trying to push sales, direct them to the tech department to be blocked."

"Ok, I will."

Jian Ran choked back the tears in her beautiful eyes and nodded.

Then she heard the man’s magnetic words, like a beautiful piano melody, resonate in her ear.

"Mrs. Gu, what kind of spell have you cast on me that I can’t focus on my work... and keep thinking about you?"

Lack of concentration...

It was only after Jian Ran’s arrival that Gu Mochen started to feel this way.

Little did he know, upon hearing his words, Jian Ran’s eyes, which had been welling with tears, now released hot tears.
