Page 815 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen stood tall and sturdy, indeed wearing a shirt one could tell he was in good shape.

At this thought, Jian Ran couldn’t help but lower her head, yet she couldn’t resist glancing at Gu Mochen’s perfectly sculpted chest... and then found herself struggling to contain her gaze.

...

Qin Mu and Gu Mochen exchanged words back and forth.

It was all Qin Mu actively teasing Gu Mochen, whose most common response was just to reply indifferently.

Though he wasn’t verbose, Jian Ran noticed... that Gu Mochen was actually quite friendly toward Qin Mu.

If it were someone else... they would have been shunned long ago.

Unexpectedly... their relationship was this good.

Jian Ran curled the corners of her lips, indulging in some fujoshi thoughts, then seeing Qin Mu’s clumsy demeanor, she couldn’t help saying, "Qin San, you might be better at looking after children, umm... let me do it."

"Fine... Gu Mochen... this young master is applying medicine to a man for the first time... remember this."

Qin Mu hadn’t expected that he had come to blows with Gu Mochen just now... but afterward, Gu Mochen hadn’t pursued the matter at all, not uttering a word or fighting back even as Qin Mu made his move.

What a gentleman...

It was rare for Qin Mu to admire someone in his life, but Gu Mochen was definitely one.

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Gu Mochen looked up to the roguish man in front of him and said earnestly, "Qin Mu, thank you."

This thank you was laden with deep meaning.

Qin Mu narrowed his black eyes, and after a long while, tugged at the corner of his lips, feeling out of place amidst this family of three.

"Hmph... I haven’t had my fill of fighting, still got fire in my belly, if you dare to treat Ran girl and Tang Bao poorly, young master here will continue next time, and won’t spare you for the sake of Tang Bao."

"Don’t worry, that day will never come, because... before you lay a hand on me, I’ll have ruined myself... In the remaining days of my life, Gu Mochen’s most important thing is to treat Jian Ran and Tang Bao well, nothing else matters."

Qin Mu, hearing Gu Mochen’s emphatic words, darkened his gaze again before his thin lips curved up, displaying a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Good."

The interplay between men, their back-and-forth exchange, was a subtle meaning Jian Ran couldn’t grasp.

...

After Qin Mu left, Tang Bao was taken away to play by a nurse, and Jian Ran, having finished applying medicine to Gu Mochen’s wound, couldn’t help but ask the question that had been on her mind.

"Umm... Gu Mochen, I have a lot of questions to ask you... First, why did Han Siming come to find you this morning? And second... what exactly happened between you and Qin San just now?"

Upon hearing the woman’s organized inquiries, a glimmering light passed through Gu Mochen’s dark eyes, and he tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Firstly... I need to tell you... something has happened to Dong Qin... It’s all over the news, I presume... there’s no need for me to elaborate... Secondly... there’s nothing going on between Qin Mu and me, hmm, I’ll tell you everything in the future, with no secrets."

Jian Ran’s focus entirely shifted due to those five words ’something has happened to Dong Qin’, her expression froze, and she couldn’t help but counter ask.

"How could Dong Qin have an accident? What happened? Is it serious?"

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, while she picked up her phone to check the latest news in Yuncheng City, she said, "It can’t be.

.. that Dong Qin’s accident has something to do with you, right?

Otherwise... Han Siming wouldn’t have suddenly come looking for you; he clearly wanted to find you. "

Jian Ran couldn’t continue her thought.

Because the news from Yuncheng City was all about Dong Qin’s scandal...
