Page 971 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran said frankly without much pretension.

Mu Wan had always thought during her school days... that a senior like Jian Ran was particularly elegant.

It was said that she came from a distinguished family, radiating a kind of spiritual aura.

She always smiled generously, with a gentle, charming smile, and... there was a hint of playfulness in it.

Unlike herself, who only liked to quietly watch Qin Mu from a corner.

Mu Wan clenched her little hand; although Qin Mu loved Jian Ran the most, she just couldn’t bring herself to dislike Senior Jian Ran.

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu..."

"It’s nothing... You look familiar... Are you a student from Yuncheng Middle School?"

"Yes..."

Mu Wan was startled and unconsciously averted her gaze.

Her unrequited love for Qin Mu... she had always carefully kept it hidden, not wanting others to know.

"Ah... What year did you graduate? I’m from the class of 2008, and Qin Mu is from the class of 2005."

"I... I’m from the class of 2009, currently studying at Yuncheng University..."

Yuncheng University... was Qin Mu’s alma mater.

This was also one of the main reasons why Mu Wan chose Yuncheng University, to continue studying at the same university as the senior high school student she had a crush on.

"Qin San... We actually have a younger school sister here, we were in the same middle school, high school, and huh... even in the same university."

Jian Ran noticed that Qin Mu was still upset and took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere.

Qin Mu coldly glanced at the woman sitting in front of him with her head bowed and hands intertwined... his dark eyes slightly furrowed.

This woman... had always kept her head down.

"Mhm..."

Listening to Qin Mu’s cold, indifferent words, without needing to say more, Mu Wan knew that the man simply didn’t care.

Or to be more precise, he was completely unimpressed.

Because... his entire focus was only on Jian Ran.

With Jian Ran around, she was the sun... and with the sun out, how could one see a fragmented star like herself?

The atmosphere relaxed a lot, Jian Ran seeing that Qin Mu still had a stern face, reached out her small hand and twisted his arm. Qin Mu winced, his dark eyes meeting Jian Ran’s significantly expressive beautiful eyes, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Well... since there is nothing wrong... and it’s time to eat, let’s all have a meal together."

Jian Ran took the initiative to greet pleasantly, also turning to General Manager Wu and speaking up.

"General Manager Wu, what do you think?"

"Since Manager Jian has invited, I have no objections..."

"Well... General Manager Wu prefers vegetarian dishes, so let’s settle on the vegetarian restaurant."

Jian Ran was thoughtful in details, such small attentiveness was enough to move General Manager Wu, who smiled.

"Thank you for your consideration, Manager Jian..."

...

Gu Mochen arrived, Jian Ran was strictly supervised, she leaned close to the man’s ear and whispered happily.

"It’s a blessing in disguise, I didn’t expect Mu Wan to be General Manager Wu’s daughter... such a beautiful girl, obviously into arts... emanating a gentle daisy-like quality..."

There was a slightly watery feel... lacking the spirit of girls her age... but she exuded charm.

Overall, she was an exceptionally unique girl.

From the moment Jian Ran saw her, she was incredibly fond of her.

"I hope... we can reconcile smoothly with General Manager Wu."

After speaking, Jian Ran playfully stuck out her tongue, and Gu Mochen was amused by the woman’s little gesture.

"Mrs. Gu, I believe... the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself..."

"Cough cough, understood, promise to accomplish the mission."

"Mhm."

Gu Mochen affectionately stroked Jian Ran’s hair with his hand, entered the private room, and directly helped Jian Ran to sit down.

Qin Mu quickly poured a glass of warm water for Jian Ran; nothing is more important than a pregnant woman right now.

Mu Wan watched as Jian Ran was treated like a star holding the moon, especially Qin Mu’s subconscious attentive care, shifted her eyes awkwardly; her hands were already clenched white and blue.

This was her first time... eating at the same table with Qin Mu.

Very nervous...

Today, after seeing Qin Mu, she felt as if she was being torn apart, restless and uneasy.

...

Since it was General Manager Wu’s frequently visited restaurant, he was in charge of ordering the dishes, all of which were exquisite.

Before the dishes were served, Jian Ran curled the corners of her mouth slightly, speaking softly with a faint smile, "General Manager Wu... I still want to apologize to you for the mishap in Gu Family’s design proposal.

Although it was instigated by someone with ill-intention, it indeed was an internal oversight at Gu Family. "

Jian Ran spoke frankly, neither humble nor arrogant.

General Manager Wu felt a bit embarrassed because of Jian Ran’s polite words.

Jian Ran had visited Dongyue several times before and had been turned away each time, and... he hadn’t shown her a pleasant face either.

But he never expected, the powerful backing behind Jian Ran.

"Manager Jian, back then... why didn’t you honestly tell me your identity... wouldn’t that be a permanent solution?"

"Well... Dongyue is the first company Gu Family plans to reconcile with... I also admire General Manager Wu’s integrity in the industry, so telling you my identity or not wouldn’t really affect you."

Jian Ran was earnest in her attitude, then softly said, "General Manager Wu, Gu Family and Dongyue have cooperated for many years, we should understand each other’s character.

Although I am new to Gu Family, General Manager, you should be able to trust him, this time, it was clearly a malicious provocation, I think.

.. General Manager Wu, as a person who sees the big picture, must have the ability to judge right from wrong. "

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words... General Manager Wu felt he was being petty and took the initiative to raise the glass in front of him.

"Mrs. Gu, this glass... I offer to you... sorry for any previous offenses."

Gu Mochen watched General Manager Wu raise his glass, raised his own glass in turn, his lips pursed.

"Jian Ran is pregnant, she cannot drink, I will drink for her..."

"Well... then I’ll drink water instead of alcohol."

Jian Ran watched as Gu Mochen stood up, and she quickly stood up as well, following the example of what is called, ’When the husband acts, the wife follows.’
