Page 895 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran had no idea what had just happened.

After Han Siming spoke to Gu Mochen, the latter’s aura turned chillingly cold.

Moreover, his dark eyes exuded a frightening coldness that was bone-chilling.

And yet... in the battle that had just concluded, Gu Mochen had performed more elegantly than anyone else.

Jian Ran pursed her lips; since her pregnancy, she couldn’t keep up with Gu Mochen’s large strides, and she said softly, "Mo Chen, slow down a bit..."

"Hmm..."

The woman’s voice was very gentle, injecting a dose of courage into Gu Mochen. He narrowed his eyes and stopped in his tracks, then directly gathered Jian Ran into his arms.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran hadn’t expected Gu Mochen’s abrupt turnaround.

Now... in front of all these people, if Gu Mochen did this... what if others saw?

Secretary Zhou had been following behind Jian Ran and Gu Mochen, and seeing Gu Mochen suddenly embrace Jian Ran in what seemed to be a clingy manner, quickly dispersed the crowd to ensure that the aisle where Jian Ran and Gu Mochen were left alone would not be disturbed.

Sigh...

For Mr. Gu’s benefit, I’ve really gone all out.

...

Gu Mochen held her with great strength, and Jian Ran, taken aback by the man’s tight embrace and concerned it might affect the child in her belly, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Mo Chen... what’s wrong with you?"

Is it because... Han Siming’s undisguised ugliness was too repulsive just now?

Or is it...

Or is it that Gu Mochen was provoked?

Regardless of the reason, this behavior from Gu Mochen was abnormal.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen pursed his lips, his voice choked up a bit after hearing the woman’s words, and his slender dark eyes slightly narrowed.

"It’s nothing, I just... want to hold you..."

"Mmm."

He is clearly a scheming and domineering CEO, yet his reaction now is like that of a big boy.

Jian Ran let out a silent laugh, extended her small hand to stroke the man’s back, and whispered, "Mo Chen... how did you do it, in less than an hour, how did you get Carlo to issue a statement about the partnership?"

Jian Ran was like a curious baby, incessantly asking questions.

It took Gu Mochen a while to reply in a hoarse voice, "I was prepared in advance."

Jian Ran understood.

So that was it.

Jian Ran felt a touch of admiration for Gu Mochen’s astuteness when she heard his deep and magnetic voice in her ear.

"If Han Siming were to take action... it was clearly an attempt to cut off the Gu Family’s financial chain, after all... the financial chain is undoubtedly crucial for a company."

Jian Ran: "..."

So, Gu Mochen had been prepared for a long time.

Admiration filled Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes, and upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, she couldn’t help but remark, "Hmm, so that’s how it is."

Jian Ran always found Gu Mochen unfathomable and elusive.

Now, witnessing his nearly perfect counterattack, Jian Ran’s lips curled into a radiant smile. She tiptoed close to his cheek and took the initiative to land a fragrant kiss.

"Mmm, hubby is the best..."

Her own husband filled her with pride.

Jian Ran was not stingy with her praise... but then she unexpectedly saw a stern look in Gu Mochen’s dark eyes, so profound and deep, almost as if they were going to consume her.

Gu Mochen’s lips twitched, and as he gazed at the woman in front of him, his voice hoarse and low, he murmured, "Ranran... there are some things... I was planning..."
