Page 877 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

It’s been years since I’ve bought a pregnancy test stick from a pharmacy.

Jian Ran felt somewhat embarrassed.

Her palms were sweaty from the nervous walk into the pharmacy and explaining her visit to the clerk.

To prevent incorrect test results, Jian Ran bought three pregnancy test sticks.

Back at the design department, Jian Ran set down her bag and quickly headed towards the restroom.

...

Inside the restroom:

Jian Ran’s gaze fell on the two lines on the pregnancy test stick, one darker and one fainter, as she tugged at the corners of her lips.

In the T area of the test zone, the mark was fainter, but the color was deeper in the control line, the C area...

It was a weakly positive result.

Jian Ran’s complexion slightly changed.

She took out the other two unopened pregnancy test sticks, unpacked them, and then tested them directly.

Hmm...

The results were all the same.

Jian Ran looked at the three pregnancy tests in front of her all showing two lines, and she was momentarily stunned.

There was immense joy.

But also... confusion.

Four years ago, and now four years later, two utterly contrasting sets of feelings.

Jian Ran quickly threw the disposable gloves and pregnancy tests into the trash.

She and Gu Mochen had been completely unrestrained with such matters.

Although they haven’t been as active recently, they certainly weren’t in the past. Therefore, Jian Ran now had to clearly determine the timing of her pregnancy and incidentally check on the baby’s basic condition.

Thinking of this, Jian Ran bit her lower lip gently.

Everything... let’s wait until after the prenatal checkup is done and the dust has settled.

...

Jian Ran returned to the design department from the restroom, and the other staff there greeted her with utmost respect.

"Director Jian..."

"Good morning, Director."

"Good morning, everyone."

Jian Ran squeezed a trace of a smile on her lips, burying the confusion in her eyes, and as she approached the office door, she saw Han Siming waiting for her with a design drawing in hand.

"Ran... Director Jian, good morning..."

After being corrected by Jian Ran yesterday, Han Siming now directly addressed her as the director.

Jian Ran squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the man standing in front of her.

His white suit was impeccably worn... If she had previously thought such a man was a Prince,

Now... she didn’t feel that way at all.

"Mhm."

Jian Ran responded faintly. After entering the office, Han Siming quickly followed in.

"Director, you look a bit pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran clenched her small hand, heard Han Siming’s words, and responded with a slight curve of her lips, calmly seating herself at her station, and looked indifferently at the man before her.

"Um... Sorry, no, I’m fine. No need for you to worry..."

Jian Ran knew... if the child in her belly was a boy...

Then, without any surprises, he could successfully obtain twenty percent of the Gu Family’s shares.

She already held twenty percent, and with Gu Mochen’s thirty percent...

Then Gu Mochen... would really have a complete monopoly.

Therefore, right now Jian Ran didn’t dare to publicize her pregnancy, especially to the man opposite her, whose thoughts she could no longer predict.

Han Siming had completely changed.

Han Siming: "..."

Han Siming listened to Jian Ran’s distant words, his face turned a bit unsightly.
