Page 791 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen originally thought the little girl was an angel sent from heaven. Now, it seems the saying ’a close bond between father and daughter’ isn’t the slightest bit wrong.

Daddy’s little girl helping him woo Mommy.

"Mhm, Daddy also likes Mommy... to be precise, loves her very much."

Loved her to the marrow of his bones, deep into his flesh and blood.

Gu Mochen’s lips curled into a bitter smile. It’s just that... no matter how wealthy and powerful he was, the one thing he couldn’t do was turn back time, to make up for the time he owed to mother and daughter.

"Umph."

Tang Baobao smacked her little lips, snuggled up in Gu Mochen’s embrace, somewhat understanding as she wrapped her hands around the man’s neck.

"Daddy... let’s always be together as a family of three from now on, loving and cherishing each other as one."

"Mhm."

...

When Jian Ran finished preparing the warm water for the little girl and came out, she saw her clinging to Gu Mochen in his embrace, unwilling to let go at all, looking utterly lovely.

Such affectionate display between father and daughter, truly enviable to others.

A warmth spread through Jian Ran’s heart, and she gently said, "Gu Mochen, play with her for a while, I’ll go prepare lunch."

"Let’s do it together."

Gu Mochen lifted the little girl into his arms, as all the morning’s procedures were checks, and so Tang Baobao didn’t need an IV.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened a bit, looking at the man’s decisive attitude, she nodded.

"Mhm."

...

Jian Ran felt that Gu Mochen seemed to have become an even better man.

When it came to cooking, she didn’t need to lift a finger at all.

She and Tang Bao just needed to give remote instructions.

After Gu Mochen prepared a generous meal of four dishes and a soup, he uncertainly asked Jian Ran which dishes the little girl could and couldn’t eat.

Jian Ran felt incredibly sweet inside, seeing how much Gu Mochen cared.

It seemed like after knowing about Tang Baobao’s condition, Gu Mochen had become a different person.

Jian Ran couldn’t quite articulate the reason why.

...

After the family of three finished lunch, Tang Baobao had to have her IV again, and since the drip contained sedatives, the little girl grew drowsy and slept soundly.

As Tang Baobao was very clingy with Gu Mochen, she had always been in his arms.

Gu Mochen held the sleeping little girl tightly in his arms. Even in her sleep, she was reluctant to let go.

It was Jian Ran who couldn’t bear to watch any longer and gently said, "Gu Mochen, she’s asleep... put her down."

"No need... I want to hold her... right now... I wish Tang Baobao could grow up slower... I always feel like I can’t hold her enough."

Jian Ran: "..."

How much indulgence and deep love must one have to say such words.

Hearing Gu Mochen’s words warmed Jian Ran’s heart incredibly.

"Um... actually, I feel the same way. When I held Tang Bao as a baby, it really wasn’t this hard. Now, after holding her for a while, my arms start to ache. Ah, the little girl is growing up... I hope, I age slower than her growth rate."

At that thought, Jian Ran couldn’t help but bend down and kiss the little girl’s cheek. Tang Baobao’s cheeks were plump and rosy, cherry-blossom pink, irresistibly adorable.

Both Jian Ran and Gu Mochen felt this way.

Gu Mochen gazed deeply at the woman before him, then pursed his lips lightly, and murmured.

"Mhm, oh, Jian Ran, I forgot to tell you, Wang Wu has been taken care of... precisely speaking, it was last night."
