Page 765 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Now... seeing Jian Ran and Tang Bao sitting in front of him... truly existing, Gu Mochen felt a strong urge to thank the heavens.

...

Jian Ran took care of the little loli during the meal, watching her stuff her little mouth full, her lips curled into a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with adoration.

"Alright... eat slowly."

"Mommy’s cooking is just too delicious..."

"Flatterer!"

"Um... little kids don’t lie, so what I’m saying is the truth."

...

Jian Ran watched Tang Bao eat with satisfaction, her eyes filled with laughter.

When she glanced up and felt a scorching gaze fixed on her, she met Gu Mochen’s deep and profound eyes and realized that the man had barely touched the rice in front of him, but had been watching her and Tang Bao all this time.

His gaze was deep, filled with complexity.

Jian Ran’s eyes flickered... she said softly, "Um... is there something on our faces?"

"Nothing..."

Gu Mochen’s eyes lowered, and his thin lips pursed slightly.

"Let’s eat... I’ll peel the shrimp for you. You’ve been peeling them for Tang Bao and haven’t eaten much yourself."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran watched as Gu Mochen put down his chopsticks, rolled up the sleeves around his wrists, and then his slender, fair fingers began to peel shrimp for her with great care, warming her heart.

Um... this man, perfect as a deity, humbling himself to peel shrimp for her, made Jian Ran feel warmth in her heart.

"Eat..."

"Okay."

Jian Ran watched Gu Mochen peeling the shrimp seriously, then placing them in front of her and Tang Bao on the plate, feeling warmth in her heart.

Tang Bao, on the other hand, felt delightfully content... Oh my, daddy was getting better and better at taking care of people.

So happy.

...

Only after confirming that Jian Ran and Tang Bao had had their fill of shrimp, did Gu Mochen clean his big hands and begin eating the delicious meal prepared with care by Jian Ran.

Even if it had cooled down... it tasted more like home now.

Jian Ran watched Gu Mochen eat in silence... he was extremely focused with every bite, her eyes widened with surprise at the man’s behavior.

She couldn’t quite figure out why he was acting this way.

Gu Mochen had always been inscrutable and unemotional, but today... he really was acting out of the ordinary.

And Secretary Zhou had also disappeared... It’s unclear what both of them were busy with...

Truth be told, Jian Ran’s appetite for the meal wasn’t that great.

She was brewing her emotions, ready to bring up Wang Wu with Gu Mochen after the meal.

Between husband and wife... honesty is mutual.

...

After a lunch for three, Tang Bao smacked her little lips, feeling a bit sleepy, accustomed to napping at the kindergarten.

Jian Ran coaxed the little loli to sleep in the bedroom of the rest area, before she and Gu Mochen went together to the CEO’s office.

...

In the CEO’s office:

Although she had braced herself, the thought of having to reopen the bloody wound from four years ago, especially in front of the man she loved, made Jian Ran somewhat uneasy.

Jian Ran pursed her lips and looked at Gu Mochen in front of her, saying softly,

"Gu Mochen, I have something very important to tell you, are you available now?"

"Jian Ran, I also have something..."

The two of them began speaking almost simultaneously.

Jian Ran’s eyes widened with surprise, meeting Gu Mochen’s equally startled gaze before she curved her lips into a smile.

"Um... you go first."

"You go first..."

Jian Ran: "..."
