Page 751 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Huo Zun sensed a major incident looming, the joy of imminent fatherhood.

Immediately, Huo Zun summoned a servant and said, "Take this to Doctor Mi Jin and have her deliver the results to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Huo, Mr. Gu."

"Hmm."

...

Gu Mochen watched as the hair strands from himself and Tang Bao were sent off for testing, his hand clenched tightly, his thoughts a tangle of anxiety.

Huo Zun, concerned, said, "Chen... what on earth is going on... Didn’t Jian Ran just marry you two years ago? Where did this child come from..."

Sitting on the custom-made genuine leather sofa of Huo Zun’s, with his legs crossed, Mo Chen’s eyes flitted with a touch of glistening depth as he spoke.

"Regarding this matter, I am equally astonished. Four years ago, at Yeyan International, I was drugged by someone... When I returned to my private room, I realized quickly that something was off. The other party’s intention was.

.. either die or find a woman to have sex with.

.. There was absolutely no time given for any healing buffer. "

Huo Zun had heard a bit about this matter and nodded his head.

"Then, that very night, a woman entered my room.

.. and what followed... you can probably understand.

.. I put in motion the initial protection by turning off the lights, and during the process, I believed this woman was someone who had climbed into my bed of her own volition, with a certain purpose in mind. .."

Gu Mochen grew increasingly vexed as he spoke...

In a situation devoid of reason, purely under the influence of the drug.

He... must have been brutally destructive to Jian Ran.

That’s why she was left with unforgettable nightmares, last night the woman dreamed... clearly as helpless as a child.

In the end... just how helpless she must have felt, hence she could only call out for her mom and dad...

A flicker of dark light passed through Mo Chen’s eyes, a surge of heartache overwhelming him.

Huo Zun began to grasp some understanding.

"Hmm, and afterward?"

"When I woke up, the woman had already left. I expected to receive some kind of extortion... but nothing came... Hence, the matter came to nothing. I kept regarding this woman as one who had willingly offered herself and didn’t let it ripple through my mind."

Even though... the next day he saw that the sheets were blooming with plum blossoms made of blood—the blood the woman left from her first time.

At first, he thought it was mostly feigned.

After all... Every well-known lady in Yuncheng City wanted to climb into his bed...

Such things are no longer unusual in the circles of the rich and powerful.

Huo Zun tugged at the corner of his lips, his thin lips puckering up, "I think... there’s been a misunderstanding, Jian Ran must have also been set up... Possibly after the unexpected event, the person behind the plan had no way to proceed."

Huo Zun was no stranger to these high society dramas, having seen his fill.

Beneath the surface of such apparent splendor and nobility lies just as much filth and squalor.

The Gu Family was no exception, and neither was the Huo Family.

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen glanced over at the man elegantly blending drinks beside him, his long, narrow eyes narrowing slightly as he spoke.

"It was Dong Qin’s scheme... At the time, Jian Ran was still Han Siming’s girlfriend, and her family had fallen into hard times.

.. Dong Qin orchestrated Jian Ran to sleep with me, mainly for two reasons: first, to tarnish my image in front of Gu Wei by sleeping with his brother’s girlfriend—after all.

.. at that time I was not at the helm of the Gu Family yet, and second.

.. since Jian Ran’s family was in decline, Dong Qin wanted her to stay away from Han Siming. .. This method could just ruin her."
