Assistant to My Contracted Husband
Chapter 105 - 105 105 You are also My Princess_1

105: Chapter 105: You are also My Princess_1 105: Chapter 105: You are also My Princess_1 Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran’s upturned lips, and his handsome face turned cold again.

“That happy?”

Jian Ran: “…”

Realizing she had been overly cheerful, Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth.

“No…

Mr.

Gu, have a safe trip.”

Gu Mochen: “…”

The woman’s smile didn’t reach her heart at all; it was entirely perfunctory.

“Jian Ran, are you really hoping I’d go on business trips every day, huh?”

The man’s “huh” wasn’t forceful, but it was enough to make Jian Ran feel somewhat apprehensive.

Right…

That’s what Jian Ran thought to herself, but her lips still curved into a bright smile, warm as a spring breeze.

“How could that be?

The Gu Family needs you to take charge at the company!

But an occasional business trip is also for the company!

Mr.

Gu, you work so hard.”

Knowing the woman was deliberately trying to please him with sweet words, Gu Mochen found it highly grating.

His eyes narrowed slightly, “Jian Ran, smile again.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Damn it, she really wasn’t there to sell smiles.

Jian Ran felt nothing but disdain for Gu Mochen in her heart, yet she still forced a smile.

“Mr.

Gu, I’ve been smiling all along…”

Gu Mochen was annoyed by her seemingly radiant but insincere smile, and his thin lips puckered slightly.

“Stop smiling, it looks really ugly…”

That somewhat brilliant smile, Gu Mochen strangely didn’t want any other men to see it.

“Hmm.”

Watching the man’s face change faster than flipping a book, Jian Ran pouted and turned her gaze out the window at the snowy view.

At 3 a.m., indeed, the view of the falling snow was beautiful.

…

When they arrived at the base of the apartment complex, Gu Mochen furrowed his brow.

“It’s so late, and it’s snowing heavily, how old is your aunt?

Can she get around easily?”

Jian Ran: “…”

Feeling somewhat guilty for lying, Jian Ran knew she had to keep spinning her tale.

“It’s fine, I’ll go upstairs first.

Thank you, Mr.

Gu, mwah.”

Feeling a warmth in her lower abdomen, Jian Ran hurriedly opened the car door and ran off into the snow.

Gu Mochen pursed his lips, watching Jian Ran eager to get away, and narrowed his deep-set eyes again.

Mwah…

Those three words seemed to be something Tang Bao had also said to him.

Jian Ran and Tang Bao, both somehow made him link the two together.

Suddenly…

Gu Mochen

didn’t feel like going on the business trip anymore.

Having Jian Ran by his side, he’d grown accustomed to the meals she cooked.

She had spoiled his stomach, and at the same time, had spoiled him too.

Now, he didn’t want to be too far away from her.

…

When Jian Ran arrived at the company the next day, she heard the gossip.

It was that Gu Mochen had gone on a business trip to France and would be back next Monday.

Jian Ran’s lips curved slightly, feeling pleased once again.

Mm, that’s good…

she had been worried Gu Mochen might suddenly change his mind.

“Miss Jian, President Gu has gone on a business trip, did you know?”

A colleague from the design department, who had seen Jian Ran and Gu Mochen acting intimately in the elevator the day before, couldn’t help but come over and ask with concern.

“Sorry, I’m not aware.

As for President Gu’s affairs, I’m just a low-level employee in the design department, I really don’t know.”

Jian Ran’s lips formed a slight curve, knowing the other person was speculating about her relationship with Gu Mochen, deliberately avoiding the topic and keeping a distance.

As expected, she soon saw the other person’s look turn to one of disappointment.

“That’s true, Mrs.

Gu would surely know President Gu’s whereabouts the best…

Jian Ran, you’re so close with Mrs.

Gu…

oh well, you can’t be close enough to share a man’s movements, can you.”

Jian Ran could detect the sarcasm in the other person’s voice, curled her lip corner, but remained silent with a smile.

The other person also felt it was pointless to continue and said with irritation, “I really don’t know what President Gu sees in her; that Mrs.

Gu is so secretive, without so much as a stir in her belly, no particular talents either.

What does President Gu love about her?”

“She’s hogging the most handsome man in Yuncheng City every day, a real King; she must be feeling so proud of herself, thrilled to the heavens, hmph, such a woman, when she gets older and her beauty fades, let’s see how she fares…

Sigh, Jian Ran, you’re so beautiful…

In fact, you’re no worse than Mrs.

Gu.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Oh, the jealousy of women.

And even the proactive stirring of trouble.

Jian Ran felt the deep hostility from the other person, yet she did not respond, choosing instead to lower her head and work on her design drawings.

If she knew…

This so-called Mrs.

Gu had to play the maid every day, attending to Gu Mochen hand and foot, doubling as a cook; she probably wouldn’t think this way anymore.

Mrs.

Gu really has it tough.

…

Since the cafe incident, until Sunday, for three days, Han Siming hadn’t taken the initiative to contact her again.

The revisions to the design drawings, all were made by Han Siming’s assistant who took it upon himself to contact her.

Just like that, clean and clear, although she felt somewhat sentimental.

But Jian Ran had already reached a state of detached calmness.

Some things, they pass with the wind.

She had once thought of explaining the past events to Han Siming, but what would have been the point?

His mother is his mother, what could he do?

More importantly, his lack of trust was the biggest spark behind their problems.

…

In the boutique:

Because Jian Ran had agreed to go with him to the old house to celebrate the old master’s birthday, Qin Mu was beside himself with excitement.

He had arranged for his secretary in advance to take Tang Bao toy shopping, well taking care of her, and easing Jian Ran’s worries.

Jian Ran had originally planned to wear a simple long dress to the birthday banquet, but to her surprise, Qin Mu had prepared an evening gown for her.

It was a Snow White princess dress…

The entire gown seemed to float about like clouds, as if it were a watercolor painting.

In the end, this dress that seemed to levitate had 12 layers from the inside out, made from more than three different shades of blue fabric including silk, nylon, and polyester.

As she moved, the entire dress shimmered because it was adorned with 10,000 Swarovski crystals, naturally sparkling when she ran.

German designer Sandy Powell mobilized 18 tailors, who spent over 550 hours sewing the gown to completion.

Forced by Qin Mu to change into the gown, Jian Ran looked at the dressed-up woman in the mirror and said, “Qin Mu, isn’t this a bit too extravagant?”

“Not at all?

You’re my princess…

you have to dress beautifully.”

Hearing Qin Mu’s words, Jian Ran pursed her lips.

All her life, while Qin Mu would call her a tomboy, he would also declare she was his princess.
