Understood my foot.

In her text message, she clearly told him not to start trouble.

But the man just kept provocatively challenging Gu Mochen over and over again.

Gu Mochen was an extremely deep person; it was obvious he might not get angry outright, but whether he would hold a grudge in private was a different story entirely.

With that thought, under the table, Jian Ran lifted her foot and fiercely kicked the long legs in front of her.

Then she raised her eyes again to glare at Qin Mu, signaling to the man…

not to spout nonsense anymore.

However, Qin Mu kept his head down eating, without any sign of looking up, and Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Could it be that her kick didn’t hurt him?

With that thought, Jian Ran lifted her foot again and kicked hard.

She signaled for Qin Mu to deliberately look up, so she could…

communicate with him, but to Jian Ran’s disappointment, Qin Mu kept his head down…

Meanwhile, Gu Mochen sitting beside her seemed to be enduring something.

“Jian Ran, what exactly is the matter with you?”

Gu Mochen’s deep eyes swept towards the woman beside him, brewing with a dangerous air as he spoke in a lowered voice.

Jian Ran: “…”

She…

Just lifted her foot and kicked…

him?

With that possibility dawning on her, Jian Ran’s entire complexion changed, and she was so startled that her chopsticks dropped onto the table.

“I…I’m fine…”

The Qin family patriarch saw Jian Ran’s chopsticks drop onto the table and immediately arranged for a servant to bring a new pair.

Jian Ran squeezed out a smile at the corner of her mouth, looked towards Gu Mochen in front of her, and explained softly, “Sorry, I didn’t realize it was your leg; I thought it was…”

Qin Mu’s.

And that it warranted a good lesson.

She really didn’t expect it to be Gu Mochen…

If she had known it was Gu Mochen, even with ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to kick him.

Although, at crucial times, she would dare to kick him.

Gu Mochen: “…”

Gu Mochen looked at the little damsel’s distressed expression, pursed his thin lips, cleared his throat lightly, and said, “Let’s eat.

Focus on eating.

Eat well.”

“Understood.”

Qin Mu watched the two of them exchange intimate glances, not knowing what they were talking about, and felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Hmm…

Just when he remembered Jian Ran telling him that her marriage to Gu Mochen was in name only, and it had less than a year left, Qin Mu felt slightly better.

Otherwise…

Looking at Gu Mochen like that, it was infuriating.

He was just too enviable and jealousy-inducing.

After all, Jian Ran was the girl he had always wanted to marry since they were young.

…

The Qin family patriarch narrowed his eyes, thankful that Jian Ran had just now mollified Gu Mochen’s mood, for if things continued this way, Qin Mu would most likely cause a big scene.

This Qin Mu was truly a handful.

It was clear that Gu Mochen had feelings for Jian Ran.

If Qin Mu continued with this unclear pursuit, the entire Qin family could suffer the consequences.

With this thought, the Qin family patriarch lost his appetite.

Qin Dad and Qin Mom also remained in a state of anxiety, fearing that Qin Mu would spout reckless words again…

Causing trouble!

The dinner party continued, everyone with their own concerns, drinks and toasts all around, yet underneath, everyone was on edge.

…

After finally finishing dinner, Jian Ran thought she and Gu Mochen would leave immediately, but the host graciously insisted they stay for tea at the Qin residence.
