Page 860 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran knew that Gu Mochen now urgently needed a small, private space to heal his wounds.

Jian Ran offered a faint smile, picked up Tang Bao, who was seated in the baby chair, into her arms, and asked the little girl if she had eaten her fill. The little girl cutely nodded her head, behaving exceptionally well.

In front of outsiders...the little girl always behaved very well.

It was only in front of other acquaintances that she would act spoiled and adorable, like an elf.

Even as a child... she had subconsciously started to treat her grandfather and little uncle as strangers.

Jian Ran’s mouth curled into a sneer.

Some things...sometimes you’d think children are naive, but in fact, their thoughts are more transparent than adults’.

Gu Wei, seeing Gu Mochen about to leave and having obtained the satisfactory outcome he desired, did not press him to stay, merely offering some casual words of farewell.

"You’re leaving so soon, we still haven’t cooked the Australian abalone and lobster.

.. Mo Chen is so busy these days, it’s hard to pick a suitable time to invite you over for a meal.

.. Ranran, you have to be a good wife to Mo Chen, with this man being busy with public affairs, he shouldn’t have to worry about household trifles, got it? "

"Mm."

Jian Ran answered softly, yet her smile did not reach her eyes.

"And, about Tang Bao... she’s already 3 years old, it’s about time... to have a little brother for her. Now the country has opened up the two-child policy, I think... it suits you two, understand?"

Jian Ran had really tolerated Gu Wei for a long time.

Jian Ran watched as Gu Wei put on the appearance of pushing his luck, her mouth curling into a sneer without changing her expression, and she continued to nod.

"I understand."

"Humph... that’s more like it... when you have time, come by the house more often, Dad will make you some tasty food."

"Mm."

Jian Ran looked at Gu Wei, outwardly full of integrity... in reality, Gu Wei was truly not as good as Dong Qin.

At least Dong Qin’s maliciousness was evident and thorough.

This man... was malicious in a more circuitous way.

Truly too despicable.

...

Siming Han watched as Gu Mochen wrapped his arms around Jian Ran’s slender waist, and since there was some distance from the living room to Gu Mochen’s Cadillac, Gu Mochen thoughtfully draped his suit jacket over Jian Ran, which also helped to cover Tang Bao in her arms.

The family of three... were intimately affectionate as if no one else was present.

Siming Han clenched his hand into a fist.

All these things... had once belonged to him.

Siming Han had been gritting his teeth in restraint, almost feeling as if his teeth were about to be crushed.

After a long while, Siming Han steadied the emotions at the bottom of his heart, looked at Jian Ran and Gu Mochen before him, and took the initiative to speak.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, thank you for your generosity. I will definitely start anew... and work really hard, I truly... am grateful to you."

Siming Han did not know how he managed it, but even his dark eyes were brimming with tears.

Jian Ran looked at the man before her, feeling somewhat disheartened...

When had the man who was once as refreshing as jade become like this?

What exactly changed everything?

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her lips, waiting for Gu Mochen’s response by her side.

Gu Mochen gazed at Siming Han before him, his thin lips pursed, then raised his hand to rest it on Siming Han’s shoulder.

"Alright."

Though there were not many words exchanged, everything was communicated in their silent understanding.
