Jian Ran returned a faint smile and, after she finished speaking with Teacher Wu, confidently entrusted little Tang Bao’s hand to the teacher.

Gu Mochen stood quietly to the side, his dark eyes slightly moving, his sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings as if searching for suspicious individuals.

Well... actually... Jian Ran needn’t worry; since the incident with Chu Yingying, arrangements had been made at Gu Family businesses and, including Tang Bao’s kindergarten, to protect Jian Ran and Tang Bao.

Gu Mochen’s wealth was indeed vast, enough to rival a nation.

But in his eyes, his greatest treasures were Jian Ran and Tang Bao.

Well... thus, they were the most important to him, mother and daughter alike.

...

Jian Ran’s hand was taken by Gu Mochen as he led her into the car. Just as Jian Ran settled into the vehicle, she heard the man’s resolute and serious voice ring by her ear.

"You don’t have to worry about Tang Bao’s safety. I’ve hired professional mercenaries to protect her. They’ll be inconspicuous, not affecting Tang Bao’s normal school life."

Jian Ran: "..."

Special forces were already an extremely impressive military branch.

And these mercenaries came from the European Royal Family.

At those words, Jian Ran’s eyes flickered, meeting the man’s serious gaze as she spoke softly, "When did you arrange this?"

"After Old Master Qin took the little girl back to the Qin Family, well... and after the incident with Chu Yingying happened, I strengthened our defenses."

Jian Ran: "..."

Indeed, this was Gu Mochen.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but admire Gu Mochen’s meticulous thinking, including his attention to detail.

Watching the man elegantly driving, Jian Ran felt reassured and said, "Mm, that’s good..."

"Mm."

Gu Mochen controlled the steering wheel with his left hand, freeing his right to take Jian Ran’s small hand, and brought it to his lips for a gentle kiss.

"Jian Ran, rest assured, whether it’s you or our daughter... I will ensure you both are safe and sound."

By the man’s heartfelt words, Jian Ran was momentarily stunned, then her heart skipped a beat.

"Gu Mochen, actually... I do have something I want to tell you... Mm, let me think about it first... When I’ve thought it through, I’ll tell you everything, okay?"

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen already had a rough idea of what she was going to say, but her willingness to be so forthcoming was enough for him.

It meant... Jian Ran was lowering her guard around him... and was starting to trust him wholeheartedly.

"Okay."

Gu Mochen lightly kissed the back of Jian Ran’s hand, and a flicker of darkness passed through his dark eyes.

...

After Jian Ran and Gu Mochen arrived at Gu Family, Jian Ran first went to the floor where the design department was located.

Once Gu Mochen confirmed the woman had left, he took out his phone and dialed Secretary Zhou’s number.

"Secretary Zhou, I received the fax you sent me last night. Mm... Send someone to bring Wang Wu to Gu Family’s underground parking garage."

"Yes... President Gu."

Gu Mochen had intended to directly fetch the people mentioned in Secretary Zhou’s report about Wang Wu and Dong Qin that morning, but was delayed due to spending a warm breakfast with mother and daughter, so he postponed it.

But now, it was a good time.

Thinking about it, Gu Mochen’s lips curled up with a hint of a cold smile, filled with a dangerous aura.

Anyone who tried to harm Jian Ran... he would make their life a living hell.

...

Upon returning to the design department, Jian Ran raised her hand to lightly massage her hair, her thoughts in disarray. After a good while, she still hadn’t regained her composure when Wang Wu’s call came through like a death knell.
