Gu 1 More (9)_1 “Miss Jian, President Gu really understands you well,” Secretary Zhou said.

“He predicted that you would definitely like this one.”

Upon hearing Secretary Zhou’s words, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes slightly twinkled.

Being an enemy of Gu Mochen was akin to fighting against the heavens—a sure loss without a doubt.

…

After work, Jian Ran arrived at the underground parking garage at the designated time.

Gu Mochen was already comfortably seated in the back of the car, with Secretary Zhou driving.

Jian Ran bit her lip and could only get into the back seat.

In his hands, Gu Mochen continued to flip through documents, fiddling with a gold pen, appearing focused and serious.

A man in deep concentration is undoubtedly the most charming.

This saying had always made perfect sense.

Since Gu Mochen was engrossed in his files, Jian Ran didn’t find it appropriate to disturb him, so she sent a text to Qin Mu.

She told Qin Mu that she and Gu Mochen were invited to dine at the Qin Family, so he could prepare himself mentally in advance.

Otherwise, such a sudden encounter would be somewhat awkward.

Jian Ran also sent a message to Aunt Li, her neighbor at the front door, asking her to help pick up Tang Bao from school once more and to prepare dinner for Tang Bao.

Thinking of the little guy potentially becoming disheartened from not waiting for her, inexplicably made Jian Ran’s heart ache.

She really missed Tang Bao.

…

“President Gu, Miss Jian, we’ve arrived.”

“Mm.”

Jian Ran followed Gu Mochen out of the car, only to find they had arrived at a boutique dress shop in the city center.

Exuding luxury everywhere, Jian Ran followed Gu Mochen into the store.

“Mr.

Gu, Mrs.

Gu, good afternoon,” said the staff.

“Mr.

Gu, as per your request, we have prepared 18 dresses in Mrs.

Gu’s size.”

After saying that, the 18 dresses were aligned in a row.

Jian Ran had originally thought the storefront was quite large, but with the dresses lined up all at once, it suddenly felt like the space was too small.

Because each dress was displayed in a separate showcase.

The dresses were brand new.

18 dresses made to her size.

But she was to only choose one.

Wasn’t this too wasteful?

Jian Ran was somewhat puzzled by Gu Mochen’s choice.

She couldn’t help but say, “President Gu…”

“Hmm?”

“Gu Mochen…

isn’t 18 dresses too many?

I can’t wear that many.”

“I know, so we’ll only choose one, and discard the other 17.”

“That’s not what I meant.

I mean, you could just choose one in advance next time, instead of picking 18 and being so wasteful.”

“Next time?”

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes, his gaze on the woman growing deeper, with a barely noticeable shimmer.

Jian Ran realized she had misspoken and said with irritation,

“There won’t be a next time.”

Gu Mochen’s lips curved slightly.

“Mmm, next time, just choose one…

so first prepare 18 design drafts, and you can choose from the drafts.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Isn’t that the same thing?

Jian Ran looked into Gu Mochen’s determined eyes, which were utterly resolute, and felt somewhat displeased.

She most despised Gu Mochen’s way of manipulating everything as if it were a game.

“Mr.

Gu, you really treat Mrs.

Gu so well, she is truly fortunate.

Please choose one.

All were prepared in your size,” the staff said.

“Alright.”

Facing the shop assistant’s eagerness, Jian Ran’s gaze shifted to the 18 dresses in front of her.

Each one was exceptionally luxurious.

Some are inlaid with pearls and diamonds…

Even woven with gold threads.

It really is a grand gesture.

That’s just Gu Mochen’s usual style.

Jian Ran narrowed her phoenix eyes, thought for a moment, then pointed to a light-yellow sundress not far away and said softly,

“I’ll take that one.”

It looks quite bright in color, a good match to bring out her skin tone.

At the same time, it lacked overly luxurious embellishments and had a simple but elegant style to it.

It was quite likable.

She always favored this style.

“Of course, Mrs.

Gu.”

“Thank you.”

“You go change into the dress; I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Okay.”

…

With the store attendant’s help, Jian Ran quickly changed into the dress and came out.

Originally clad in a professional suit, she gave off the image of a capable career woman, but now in the light-yellow dress, she seemed playful and endearing, immediately turning into a young girl.

Jian Ran’s long hair casually fell over her shoulders, unadorned by any cosmetics, yet she was breathtaking, like a beautifully exquisite piece of art.

Her fair skin glowed attractively, tantalizingly so.

Gu Mochen gazed at the woman before him, his thin lips slightly pursed, his hawkish dark eyes swirling with an unusual emotion.

Jian Ran…

Indeed, she was beautiful.

Stunningly beautiful that it made one urgently want to conceal her beauty, to have her beauty shine just for oneself, exclusively displayed in one’s presence.

Jian Ran felt somewhat uneasy.

Lately, it seemed she really was often wearing dresses.

“How does it look?

Is it okay?

Do I need to change it?”

Jian Ran, a bit uncertain, looked at the elegantly dressed woman in the mirror, who appeared delicately charming.

Actually…

It was a bit too flamboyant.

“By the way, Mrs.

Gu…

is this yours?”

The store attendant who had been helping with the clothes handed a medicine bottle to Jian Ran.

Jian Ran’s face slightly changed, and she quickly took it.

“Yes, it’s mine, thank you.”

She had taken it out because there was nowhere to put it when changing clothes.

Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran’s somewhat nervous demeanor and furrowed his brows.

“What is that?”

Jian Ran, taken aback by Gu Mochen’s question, managed to squeeze out a smile.

“Just some perfume.”

She couldn’t exactly tell him that Lan Xing had told her to add this medicine to his food, could she?

Some things just couldn’t be explained clearly.

“Hmm.”

“So, is the dress okay, or do I need to change it?”

“It’s missing something.”

“Hmm?”

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and then she saw the man as if performing magic, placing the prepared grand “Star of Africa” around her neck.

The grand “Star of Africa,” as Jian Ran understood from the news earlier, was the largest cut diamond in the world.

Thinking about the necklace’s exorbitant price, Jian Ran couldn’t help but swallow hard.
