Page 980 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the living room of Linhai Villa:

Jian Ran’s face slightly changed when Jian Anguo asked her about her initial encounter with Gu Mochen.

There are some cruel realities she didn’t want to tell Jian Anguo.

The things of the past... have all passed.

What goes around, comes around. She gained Tang Bao, such an adorable little girl... and Gu Mochen; for her, this was more than enough.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered, and an idea quickly came to her mind.

"Dad... well, how else could we have met? I love design... and then, the Gu Family had a design department. At that time, I went to submit my design drafts, and over time, got to know Gu Mochen... Right, it was love at first sight, yes, and then we had a flash marriage."

Jian Ran averted her gaze unnaturally.

In front of others, she could bluff and bluster, telling lies flawlessly.

But when Jian Anguo was the other party, she still restrained herself somewhat.

Jian Anguo: "..."

Flash marriage?

Jian Anguo furrowed his brows, his gaze fell on Jian Ran’s softly contoured face, flickering with a hint of hesitation.

Considering the age of Tang Bao... it was mostly after his own incident that Jian Ran had the child with Gu Mochen soon after a flash marriage.

But... knowing Jian Ran’s character, she definitely wouldn’t have considered marriage at the time when the Jian Family was in trouble.

Jian Anguo squinted his eyes and inquired, "Ranran, tell dad the truth, did something happen back then? At that time, you and Han Siming from the Han Family had a good relationship, right? After I got into trouble, I was hoping the Han Family could offer you some support... so you wouldn’t be wronged.

.. but Han Siming, that boy, he’s spineless, and feels like an incompetent person who can’t be helped.

If you were with the Han Family’s boy, how could you have fallen in love at first sight with Gu Mochen? "

Jian Ran: "..."

A flicker of emotion passed through Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes. It seemed like Jian Anguo, while he was in prison and always refused to see her, actually had made some arrangements for her future.

Jian Ran’s hands intertwined, her expression revealing a shadow of darkness as she said in a soft voice, "Dad... a lot has happened during these four-plus years. Um, after the Jian Family’s incident, Han Siming went abroad to study.

.. Yeah... So, Gu Mochen and I got together normally, don’t worry.

.. nothing happened back then... could I lie to you? Look how sincere my eyes are."

Jian Anguo: "..."

Looking worriedly at Jian Ran in front of him, Jian Anguo realized that compared to four years ago, she really... had transformed too much.

He didn’t know whether this was good or bad... it was all brought upon by himself.

"Well... if you got together normally... that’s a good thing, it shows that Gu Mochen isn’t a vain person. Even when the Jian Family was in trouble, he stayed by your side... he must have fallen for the person you are... Now that you have two children, just live happily together."

Seeing that Jian Anguo was not pursuing the matter further, Jian Ran couldn’t help but speak playfully, "Um... don’t keep calling him Gu Mochen. You can call him son-in-law, or you can call him Mo Chen... either way works."

"You girl, really shameless... talking about son-in-law... really now..."

Reunited with his own daughter after a long separation, Jian Anguo was also moved to tears, his eyes intermittently streaming down his face, revealing a mix of emotions.

Jian Ran nestled beside Jian Anguo like a child, inhaling the scent of him, and muttered softly, "Dad... it’s so good you’re back, from now on our family will always be together..."

"Good..."

Jian Ran wanted to open her mouth to ask what exactly had happened back then... why her mother had disappeared, while he had gone to prison for corruption.
