123: Chapter 123: Jian Ran is Sister-in-law 1 Update (2)_1 123: Chapter 123: Jian Ran is Sister-in-law 1 Update (2)_1 Mrs.

Gu frequented Mr.

Gu’s villa, solidifying their relationship as husband and wife.

Especially in the dead of night, with just a man and a woman alone, it’s rather unrealistic to believe that nothing happened.

Jian Ran initially had explanations ready, but ultimately, since the two of them were husband and wife, those words of explanation simply couldn’t be spoken.

Han Siming and Qin Mu looked terribly upset, their dark eyes unable to hide their gloom.

The woman they loved the most was married, and her husband was the powerful helmsman of Yuncheng City; such a reality was unpleasant for anyone to endure.

For Han Siming, the man was also his own brother.

Thus, to him, Jian Ran was…

His sister-in-law now.

This was undoubtedly a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Thinking of this, with many people present, Han Siming took the initiative to say, “Gu… Mr.

Gu, I would like to have a private word with you.”

“Fine.”

Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed, but he did not shy away.

After all, he had chosen to make clear his relationship with Jian Ran in front of Han Siming and Qin Mu to declare his ownership.

Originally, Jian Ran had not taken the one million Dong Qin offered, and Han Siming had chosen to believe it was a misjudgment.

Therefore, losing Jian Ran wasn’t just due to external factors; a lot had to do with Han Siming’s own issues.

At that time, Gu Mochen wasn’t aware of the interactions between Jian Ran and Han Siming, so there was no question of feeling sorry.

…

Jian Ran knew the brothers had something to discuss and chose not to care, though she could clearly feel the gaze of both Gu Mochen and Han Siming lingering on her.

Even as their tall figures left, she could still feel their gazes on her, full of possessiveness.

Today had been too eventful, and Jian Ran was somewhat disordered, her face pallid.

“Ran, you look terrible.

I’ll take you to the rest area,” Qin Mu offered with concern, despite feeling somewhat hollow and not yet recovered from the shocking secrets revealed.

“Qin, I have things to do.

I need to leave now.

Sorry for keeping this from you before.”

After speaking, Jian Ran lowered her head apologetically, unwilling to meet Qin Mu’s hurt gaze.

Now…

she just wanted to leave this place of strife, not wanting to be involved with any of these men who could shake Yuncheng City to its core.

Qin Mu’s brow furrowed as he watched Jian Ran’s face turn pale, looking like a wounded animal, and then he said, “Alright, I’ll take you home, Ran.

I believe you have your reasons for not telling me.”

“Okay.”

Not until Jian Ran sat in his car did Qin Mu ask, “What exactly is going on between you and Gu Mochen?

What about Tang Bao?

You two are clearly husband and wife…

why are you living apart?”

In the relatively safe private space of the car, Jian Ran faced the concerned gaze of Qin Mu and took a deep breath.

Indeed…

Qin Mu knew more than Gu Mochen and Han Siming; there was also Tang Bao’s existence.

“The truth is…

four years ago, I got pregnant by accident.

I was quite young at the time, and I valued family, so I had Tang Bao.

A year after Tang Bao’s birth, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Plus, my father needed money for his legal expenses, so I chose to marry Gu Mochen, becoming his secret wife for three years in exchange for one million as compensation.”

“Our initial agreement was a three-year secret marriage – in name only, as strangers.”

“Qin…

actually, I don’t know who Tang Bao’s father is…

I haven’t dared to tell Gu Mochen about the child, since legally, he is Tang Bao’s father.”

“After I graduated…

I came to work at the Gu Family company, I didn’t know he was my boss.”

“Originally, I didn’t tell you the truth because I thought…

within a year, I could divorce Gu Mochen and we could go our separate ways.

But now, things have become complicated.”

Jian Ran poured out the secret she had been suppressing for so long, tears sliding down her cheeks.

For so many years, she had been on her own, with no one to confide in.

Seeing her state, Qin Mu felt an overwhelming pity and hugged Jian Ran tightly into his arms.
