Page 838 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran had eaten more than half of her food when she picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip, glancing at Gu Mochen beside her, waiting for the man’s response.

Gu Mochen’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, his handsome face chiseled, and his lips pressed tightly.

The Qin family patriarch was likeable because... despite being a founding statesman with various titles, and a firm character, he wasn’t rigid in his ways.

Hmm, for example, he preferred girls over boys.

This was not common in most elite families.

So... dealing with the old man he didn’t dislike became somewhat problematic.

"Now that the two-child policy is in place, I think... Both Boss Qin’s eldest and second sons have a chance."

Gu Mochen subtly pushed the ball back into the old man’s court.

Upon hearing this, the Qin family patriarch tugged at the corner of his mouth. This... Gu Mochen made too much sense, and he found himself powerless to counter.

This Mr. Gu, truly a master of words, knowingly needing to give me a way out, yet deliberately not offering me the chance.

The Qin family patriarch laughed awkwardly and waved his hands.

"This depends on luck and fate, neither my eldest nor my second are of that mindset..."

"That... Qin Jin, come and toast Mr. Gu..."

Qin Jin had been quietly sitting in the corner, dining elegantly. Hearing the patriarch’s words, he furrowed his handsome brows and, out of respect for the elder’s authority, stood up with the cup in front of him.

"Mr. Gu, I toast to you."

Although only 10 years old, Qin Jin had already started reading financial magazines, so he had always deeply admired Gu Mochen’s capabilities.

Now... seeing the man in person, he felt an overpowering aura that could not be ignored.

Gu Mochen had noticed the two boys upon entering.

This was clearly... a matchmaking attempt scheduled by the Qin patriarch.

The words of the parents, the matchmaker’s mandates.

The old man believed in the old ways, thinking that childhood was the time to settle these matters.

As it turns out... it’s not so simple.

Gu Mochen squinted his eyes, observing the young man’s demeanor, neither servile nor overbearing, as he raised his glass.

"Um."

Jian Ran also noticed the handsome young boy, full of youthful vigor, dressed in military attire. Hmm... the military brother vibe was quite apparent.

However... it seemed like military brother wasn’t much interested in her daughter.

He had hardly given her a second glance from beginning to end.

Instead, he seemed to like... looking at Gu Mochen...

It must be the admiration that young teens have for successful men, seeing such men as the targets of their future study and idols.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran’s lips curved into a faint smile.

"Qin Jin, I also toast to you... study hard and make progress every day."

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Qin Jin addressed Jian Ran with all the respect of an adult, his handsome face always expressionless, emitting a cool demeanor.

At such a young age, to possess such a strong presence was indeed rare.

Jian Ran felt even more admiration in her heart.

Tang Bao sat on the Qin patriarch’s lap, who had been too busy eating to notice the handsome guy earlier, but now her eyes lit up upon seeing Qin Jin get up.

"Handsome brother... you’re really good-looking."

Qin Jin: "..."

Qin Jin pulled up the corner of his mouth, his gaze inadvertently landing on the little girl’s clear, black and white eyes, and for a moment, he was startled.

The little girl’s voice was tender and sweet, with dimples nestled in her chubby cheeks, looking very cute and lovable.

It was undeniable, the little girl was pretty.
