Gu Part 1 Update (4)_1 161: Chapter 161: Do You Want to Be Mrs.

Gu Part 1 Update (4)_1 The man’s ink-dark eyes were profound, as exquisite as an unfathomable deep pool.

The reflection in his gaze was his own silhouette.

“Mr.

Gu.”

“What is it?”

It was…

himself.

He was now staring at himself and, naturally, what he saw was also himself.

Jian Ran’s heart raced uncontrollably, and instead of responding to Gu Mochen’s words, she attempted to avoid eye contact and changed the subject.

“Mr.

Gu, I don’t know what you mean by your question, I’ve finished tying the tie, may I go now?”

“Jian Ran, didn’t you just educate me that what’s on one’s mind is what one sees?

Right now, I am seeing you.”

Jian Ran: “…”

So it means…

What’s on one’s mind.

Suddenly, Jian Ran felt as if she had set a trap for herself and walked right into it.

Meeting the man’s skillful and profound ink-dark eyes, the supposed tie-tying, it turns out, was part of a deliberate scheme.

One could only say, Gu Mochen had won.

Jian Ran swallowed hard, the man’s handsome face closing in infinitely.

Subconsciously, Jian Ran extended her small hand to push against the man’s chest.

“Mr.

Gu, you really are someone with excellent moral values, far removed from low pursuits.

To be able to work with someone like you is truly the honor of my lifetime.”

“Yes, that’s exactly it…”

Gu Mochen: “…”

Listening to Jian Ran’s flattering, indeed, it had become somewhat tedious.

It was really a mix of amusement and frustration.

Gu Mochen narrowed his ink-dark eyes and reached out to tousle Jian Ran’s hair.

Jian Ran tensed up on the spot because of the man’s subconscious action.

The gentle caress on her head was a gesture Jian Anguo often made when she was little.

This was a father’s indulgence towards a petulant daughter.

But why was Gu Mochen doing this?

Him doing this…

Seemed somewhat like a man’s pampering towards a woman, an indulgence in her playful antics.

Had she just used the story of Su Shi and the Buddha seal to mock his view of herself and Pan Ming, but in fact, Gu Mochen had not gotten angry and had chosen to indulge her instead?

The mere thought of indulgence as a possibility inexplicably sent tingles down Jian Ran’s scalp.

“Get ready, you’re keeping me company for dinner at the Qin Family tonight.

Elder Master Qin’s birthday celebration might imply an extension of life after the party, and they’ve invited the two of us.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Go to the Qin Family’s place?

What kind of joke was Gu Mochen playing?

Seeing Jian Ran’s slightly stunned face, Gu Mochen squinted his ink-dark eyes and murmured, “After all, at Elder Master Qin’s birthday party, we stole the limelight from him.

It’s only right that we make amends.

Elder Master Qin has just sent over an invitation, naming you specifically to join.

Your identity can’t be hidden from the Qin Family anymore, so let’s go together—Mrs.

Gu.”

As Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen recount the process, she realized that when Gu Mochen had come to the office just now, he meant to discuss this matter with her.

What she hadn’t expected was to have Pan Ming confess to her.

To go to the Qin Family’s place.

The last time was during her childhood.

Back then, she had agreed to Han Siming and rejected Qin Mu, offending the entire Qin Family.

Now, to attend the Qin Family’s family feast, celebrating the warmth of life, as the wife of Gu Mochen, Mrs.

Gu…

It might be…

Too awkward.

Jian Ran pressed her lips together and, seeing Gu Mochen’s serious demeanor, spoke quietly, “Do I not have the option to refuse?”

“Mrs.

Gu, what do you think?”
