Page 766 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen: "..."

It seemed he had discovered a little tacit understanding between them as husband and wife.

Jian Ran curved the corners of her lips, took a deep breath, and the anxious unease in her heart began to subside slowly as she saw Gu Mochen standing in front of her.

"Then I’ll start. Um, you should know, I... I had a nightmare last night."

Jian Ran confessed truthfully, looking at the man in front of her. She bit her lip and said softly, "Gu Mochen... if... the DNA data isn’t wrong, Tang Bao’s biological father has found us. That’s why my emotions were so erratic yesterday... and why I had nightmares last night."

After saying this, Jian Ran lowered her beautiful eyes, intertwining her small hands together.

Having to recount that night from 4 years ago in full detail still made Jian Ran feel ashamed... as if she was exposing her entire self in front of this man, with nowhere to hide.

This kind of bloody nakedness, the sense of humiliation... it still made her feel unbearably awkward.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen hadn’t expected... that Jian Ran would actually confide in him.

Given Jian Ran’s nature... she was mostly strong and stubborn, the type who wouldn’t make a peep.

Even if she would tell Secretary Zhou, she wouldn’t say it in front of him.

How much trust and dependency did it take for a woman to open up like this...

Gu Mochen clenched his large hand into a fist, looking at Jian Ran’s small hands twisted together, then stepped forward and raised his hand to hold her hands in his.

Now... his heart was filled with nothing but tenderness for Jian Ran.

"Mmh..."

Jian Ran’s small hand was gently unfolded by Gu Mochen’s warm hand. She looked up into the man’s deep, inky eyes and said quietly, "That incident from 4 years ago, I seem to have only mentioned it briefly in front of you. Um, it was rape, and I wasn’t willing..."

She paused for a moment and then continued, "If it hadn’t been for my father’s trial, I probably would have called the police.

.. But afterwards, because I was young and didn’t know better, I didn’t take contraception.

Later when I discovered I was pregnant, the trial results came out, my mom disappeared without a trace.

.. My dad ended up in jail... I was alone, and the child became my only solace, which is why I decided to keep the baby. "

Jian Ran spoke on her own, trying to stay calm as if she were unaffected, but in truth, her heart was tumultuously flipping over.

Her voice involuntarily trembled...

The past was indeed too cruel.

Her education was discontinued, she had to work odd jobs while pregnant, and even had to endure the cold stares of the public – an unmarried, pregnant, fallen girl... When it came to prenatal care, she couldn’t provide the best for the little girl.

If... it hadn’t been for her lack of proper care for the little girl during pregnancy and after birth, Tang Bao might not have ended up with diabetes.

Jian Ran’s voice grew lower and her spirits sank to the limit. In the next instant, Jian Ran was gently embraced by Gu Mochen.

The man’s tall figure brought the woman’s delicate body into his embrace, his stature large enough to fully envelop her petite frame.

From the man... Jian Ran felt an overwhelming desire to protect.

This warm breath, it gave Jian Ran the illusion of basking in the spring breeze.

Jian Ran’s eyes brimmed with tears, and she slightly curved the corners of her mouth.

"Then I’ll continue... I... I received a call from an unknown landline the day before yesterday, it was him.

.. His name is Wang Wu... He precisely described the time and place of that incident from years ago.

.. I even compared a strand of his hair with Tang Bao’s hair in a DNA test. Yes, it really is a match; they are indeed father and daughter, that’s what science has confirmed.

.. I even feared the hospitals were bribed, so I tried many hospitals just to be sure. "
