Page 979 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Mochen’s narrow, ink-dark eyes slightly squinted, followed by a flash of indulgent darkness.

"Hmm... that’s enough, no need for explanations..."

...

"Mr. Gu... the person you’ve been waiting for has come out."

"Hmm."

The guard respectfully greeted Gu Mochen and then handed him a slip, which Gu Mochen signed quickly.

Jian Ran was momentarily stunned.

What does it mean... "has come out"?

In her confusion, Jian Ran looked toward the not too distant place... Jian Anguo, in a gray down jacket, walking towards her step by step.

"Mo Chen... weren’t we supposed to go to the meeting room?"

"Mrs. Gu, this is my New Year’s surprise for you... Dad has been released from prison early, this year we will celebrate New Year together with him."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran’s mind was a whirl of confusion, overwhelmed by the huge surprise.

Her gaze fixed on Jian Anguo ahead.

years...

Jian Anguo had aged significantly.

His back, unbeknownst to when, had even started to hunch.

Just one look, and Jian Ran’s eyes reddened, disregarding her pregnant body, she sprinted towards Jian Anguo, while Gu Mochen’s expression tightened and he followed quickly holding Tang Bao.

"Dad..."

Jian Ran, trembling, reached her small hands out and tightly embraced Jian Anguo, tears soaking the man’s collar, staining her fair cheeks.

"Dad... I’ve missed you so much..."

Jian Anguo: "..."

Having been inside for a long time, Jian Anguo’s reactions were somewhat slow. Hearing Jian Ran’s words, it took a while before he hoarsely said, "Ranran..."

"Hmm... it’s me."

After four years, the father and daughter met, everything was conveyed without words.

Jian Anguo looked at his daughter in front of him... four years had passed, the girl who used to wear a ponytail was now a graceful young woman in a fluffy coat, exceptionally cute.

Her long hair draped over her shoulders.

More refined than... 4 years ago.

And... matured.

"Ranran... my daughter."

Tears streamed down Jian Anguo’s face, his hands trembling as he held the Jian Ran in front of him tightly... reluctant to let go of even a bit for a long time.

"Ranran... how have you been these past years?"

Hearing Jian Anguo’s words, Jian Ran felt a sudden tightness in her throat, unsure what to say.

These years... had not been very good.

But... now, she was doing very well.

Jian Ran briefly glossed over the past, finding it difficult to speak of.

"Dad, I’ve been doing well. I got married 4 years ago... um, this is my husband, Gu Mochen, and this is my daughter... Tang Bao, and... I’m also pregnant now, 5 weeks along."

Jian Ran, with tearful eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, unable to stop herself from speaking.

Jian Anguo: "..."

Married?

Gu Mochen?

Too much information was brought to him at once by Jian Ran, Jian Anguo needed a moment to process everything.

Gu Mochen... isn’t he the young master of the Gu Family?

Jian Anguo only remembered Gu Mochen was the young master of the Gu Family, not knowing that after marrying Jian Ran, Gu Mochen had acquired 20% of the Gu Family shares and had taken the helm of the Gu Family.

The man in front, dressed in a high-end custom suit from France, exuded understated luxury, with cufflinks and buttons adorned with gems, sparkling brilliantly.

The man’s obsidian-like eyes were sharp and intimidating, his whole presence emanated a kingly aura—noble and commanding without anger...

The formidable aura he exuded made people tremble.

Just one look, even though he had been in prison for many years, Jian Anguo could understand this man was exceptional.

Originally... his sentence still had a few months to go, but it was shortened to New Year’s Eve.

Jian Ran had some weight, Jian Anguo knew that.

This merit was mostly thanks to the man in front of him.

Jian Anguo’s eyes thoughtful, Gu Mochen had already respectfully approached holding Tang Bao to greet him.

"Dad, hello, nice to meet you for the first time, I am Gu Mochen, you can just call me Mo Chen."

Gu Mochen was humble and courteous, proactively stretching out his hand to grasp Jian Anguo’s hand.

Seeing Gu Mochen act this way, the Tang Bao in Gu Mochen’s arms also piped up in a babyish voice: "Um... Handsome Grandpa hello, I am Tang Baobao... hehe... Grandpa you can call me Baobao, Tangtang is okay too."

Jian Anguo looked at the adorable little girl with watery eyes in front of him, then glancing at Jian Ran.

Unexpected... 4 years had changed so much.

Jian Ran had even married and had a child.

Now... there’s another on the way.

Jian Anguo looked at the exquisitely crafted little girl in Gu Mochen’s arm, couldn’t help but lift her into his own arms.

"Good... Tang Baobao is good... all is good."

Jian Anguo held the little girl tightly in his arms, overwhelmed with emotion.

"This girl is lively, truly adorable..."

Hearing this, Jian Ran unnaturally shifted her gaze away, knowing if Jian Anguo found out what had happened to her after his incarceration, according to his character, he would probably be heartbroken.

A benign lie, she chose to remain silent.

Upon this thought, Jian Ran softly said: "Dad... you’ve just come out, don’t overexert yourself... let me carry her."

"It’s fine, Dad... just a bit clumsy now, but still strong... let’s go, let’s go home..."

"Okay."

Jian Ran sniffled, and took the initiative to support Jian Anguo as they walked towards the parked car.

Gu Mochen followed closely behind, performing impeccably as the perfect son-in-law.

Nothing matters more than his own wife.

...

Jian Anguo had not expected Gu Mochen’s background to be so formidable, and after arriving at Linhai Villa, he was impressed by the man’s wealth.

Turning on the television... on the financial news, the name that was frequently mentioned was Gu Mochen...

Jian Anguo spent a good half of the day grasping the significance of his son-in-law being such a significant figure.

At that moment... even more bewildered, he couldn’t help pulling Jian Ran aside to inquire about Gu Mochen’s background.

"Ranran, tell Dad the truth... how did you initially... marry Gu Mochen, huh?"

Jian Ran’s expression turned a bit unsightly, her gaze somewhat evasive.
