Page 762 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Inside the resting room of the Gu Family president’s office:

Jian Ran was sleeping in a daze... After seeing Gu Mochen, she felt a bit foggy, momentarily confused.

Soon, she felt herself being tightly embraced by Gu Mochen, very, very tightly.

That feeling... Gu Mochen seemed like a man who had been wandering the desert for a long time... Seeing her was like finding a source of water with such a sense of dependency.

Even... she could distinctly feel Gu Mochen’s body trembling.

Was he afraid of losing her, or was he in a state of trepidation, or something else...

Realizing she might be overthinking, Jian Ran darkened her eyes... uhm, she must have been dazed from sleep.

A man like Gu Mochen... How could he tremble?

His thoughts were inscrutable... She had been by his side for some time now, but it was only scratching the surface, this man... could dominate the entire Yuncheng City, including the business chains of Europe.

...

Ultimately, a woman’s heart always harbors a sense of instability.

Being held in a man’s arms at this moment, Jian Ran felt much more secure.

With a curve of her lips, she murmured hazily, "Gu Mochen... you’re holding me too tightly.

.. I can hardly breathe... um... you’re back. .. then I should go heat up the food."

As she said this, Jian Ran’s blurry eyes looked around.

Suddenly, she noticed...

Tang Bao was also there...

And with her chubby, watery big eyes, she was staring at her, full of bright spirit.

The little girl was wearing her school uniform, still in the same state as when Jian Ran and Gu Mochen had taken her to kindergarten that morning, her smile sweet, her demeanor charming and delightful. However, Jian Ran was instantly bewildered.

Uhm... What was going on?

More or less understanding the little worry in the little girl’s eyes, Jian Ran immediately put on a stern face and then pushed against the man’s chest, turning to Gu Mochen with a serious tone and asked, "Gu Mochen... did you take her out of school?"

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen’s gaze fell disjointedly on the woman pretending to be angry in front of him, pursing his lips.

"Hmm..."

Gu Mochen’s eyes rested on Jian Ran’s lovely face, and it seemed he caught a fleeting glimpse of the inexperienced shadow of her younger years.

Now... he wasn’t at all concerned about what Jian Ran was saying about skipping school, his mind was filled with the reminiscence of the past.

No wonder... he had no interest in other women, being with Jian Ran... their bodies fit together perfectly.

Thinking this, Gu Mochen unnaturally averted his gaze. Now... he urgently wanted to hold Jian Ran in his arms... feeling full of remorse.

It was a tremendous surprise... and an overwhelming apology.

What was astonishing was that Jian Ran had always been only his from the beginning to the end.

The scumbag and demon she incessantly talked about back then was himself.

The apology was for unintentionally ruining her, deeply hurting Jian Ran, including the lack of care for her over these four years, leaving Jian Ran pregnant and alone for ten months, and the absence of a father’s love for Tang Bao during these three years.

...

Jian Ran: "..."

Gu Mochen actually spoke so openly, and Jian Ran was immediately unhappy. Why on earth did he take Tang Bao out of school? Wasn’t he supposed to be working?

Tang Bao, seeing how formidable Gu Mochen was outside, but instantly subdued in front of mommy, couldn’t help but sidle up to Jian Ran and said in her milky voice.

"Mommy, don’t be mad... hehe, you see... when daddy was busy with work, he needed a little girl to accompany him... hehe... and then Uncle Huo was very happy when he saw me... and he even became my follower, and that’s not all... I can also teach Uncle Huo how to pick up girls."
