Gu is Pregnant Again (2/4)_1 This appearance, she’s clearly very calculating.

Jian Ran couldn’t refuse, so she could only let the clerk help her sit in the chair and then watch as they bent down, respectfully and diligently, to change her into flat shoes.

Actually, she really could have put them on herself.

But the moment Jian Ran tried to bend over and help, the clerk immediately stopped her.

No matter what, they wouldn’t let her lift a finger.

Again and again…

they all said to be careful, and although they didn’t explicitly say the words “the child,” that ambiguous expression clearly wanted to imply…

That she was pregnant.

Jian Ran was somewhat disheveled.

…

Finally, after the shoes were changed and she had been treated like a pregnant woman the entire time, Jian Ran pulled at the corner of her mouth and looked at Gu Mochen with annoyance.

“Gu Mochen, I’m done changing.

Can we leave now?”

“Hmm, I’ll help you…

Be careful.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran watched as Gu Mochen stretched out his hand and dominantly wrapped it around her slender, delicate waist, causing her body to stiffen on the spot.

Especially the man’s warm palm, so assertive, allowing no room for her to dodge at all.

Jian Ran could feel that the skin touched by the man’s hand had become scorching hot.

Thy protest too much.

Gu Mochen was doing this.

Clearly, he was hinting to the others that she really was pregnant.

But…

She really wasn’t…

Jian Ran was on the verge of tears, and sure enough, she saw the clerks whispering among themselves, their smiles growing even wider, their attention completely focused on her abdomen.

Even as she was leaving, Jian Ran could hear the women murmuring softly behind her back.

“Don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

“No, to be precise, is it a prince or a princess…

after all, they are born with a golden spoon in their mouth.”

“So envious…

can’t tell she’s pregnant at all, still so beautiful…”

“If you’re capable, why don’t you go marry Gu Mochen?”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran glanced sidelong at Gu Mochen, seeing the man’s calm and composed demeanor, unfazed in the face of danger, inscrutable, and felt even more disdain.

…

After leaving the boutique, Jian Ran eagerly broke away from the man’s embrace and said with annoyance, “Gu Mochen, why didn’t you explain just now that I’m not pregnant?”

“Hmm?

Did they say you were pregnant?

Why should I state the obvious?”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran was at a loss for words; indeed, from beginning to end, none of the clerks actually said she was pregnant.

But between the lines, the implication was glaringly obvious, yet Gu Mochen turned a blind eye.

Jian Ran met Gu Mochen’s inscrutable, intense gaze and unnaturally averted her eyes.

Yes…

By saying so, she would just be admitting to the very thing she was trying to deny.

Jian Ran awkwardly diverted her gaze and settled back into the car, her hands intertwined together.

Just earlier, she had walked in as an ordinary office worker, but coming out, she had transformed into a gloriously dressed woman.

“Secretary Zhou, um, where are my clothes?”

“Miss Jian, I’ve already sent your clothes for dry cleaning.

Once they’re cleaned, they’ll be returned to you.”

Jian Ran clenched her hands, still holding the medicine bottle Lan Xing had given her that afternoon.

She could have placed it in the pocket of her clothes.

But now…

the little dress she was wearing had no place for holding anything.

“Miss Jian, do you have any problem?”
