Update 1 Seeking Subscriptions (4)_1 Behind her was the hot and powerful chest of a man, and in front of her flowed the ceaselessly spilling cold water.

Such a posture for washing vegetables was indeed sickeningly sweet.

Jian Ran felt somewhat uneasy, while Gu Mochen seemed quite at ease.

Gu Mochen’s sharp and exquisite gaze touched Jian Ran’s neck, as white and smooth as jade, he squinted slightly, a shimmering light flashing across his eyes, full of profound meaning.

Um…

She was indeed too adorable.

Whenever Jian Ran felt shy, her neck and even more so her cheeks would turn a deep red.

Just a moment ago, she had been provocatively feigning calmness as she challenged him, now it only took a subtle hint of a movement for her true self to be completely revealed.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, his dark pupils growing even deeper.

However, his mind involuntarily flashed back to the question Jian Ran had just asked him.

Fallen for her, haven’t I?

Gu Mochen pondered silently, his dark eyes deepening even more.

…

Jian Ran was forced to make lunch with Gu Mochen, to wash vegetables together, and to stir-fry together, the whole time being tightly encircled in the man’s arms.

When it was finally time to eat, Gu Mochen was just short of feeding her himself.

In her heart, Jian Ran felt nothing but disdain for Gu Mochen, and she ate much faster than usual.

She was desperate to get away from him as soon as possible.

Watching the woman’s behavior, Gu Mochen’s lips thinned.

Seeing that Jian Ran was about to put down her chopsticks, he said,”Stay and eat with me.

Wait until I’ve finished before you leave.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Has he no sense of propriety?

She had to wait for him to finish eating before leaving?

Upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, cursing him in her heart once more.

Gu Mochen watched the woman’s slightly annoyed and disdainful face, and only after eating his last mouthful of rice did he leisurely put down his chopsticks.

“Jian Ran…

The news this morning was released by me.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran had originally thought that Gu Mochen, with his profound thoughts, would not reveal his true feelings to others.

But little did she know, Gu Mochen was openly confessing to her.

Jian Ran’s eyes flashed with a dark light, and so she directly asked, “President Gu, why did you do that?”

“There are two reasons.

First, to squash Lan Xing’s ambitions.

Lan Xing was sure about drugging me and wanting to become Mrs.

Gu, partly because Mrs.

Gu had not gotten pregnant after more than two years of marriage.

It was the perfect opportunity for me to shatter her illusions.

However, I’m not ready to write Lan Xing off yet because casting a long line is the way to catch the big fish lurking behind.”

Jian Ran: “…”

What a saying, casting a long line to catch the big fish.

That big fish, Gu Mochen didn’t need to say, she knew herself—it was obviously Dong Qin.

Lan Xing was a spy Dong Qin had planted in the Gu Family.

Watching Jian Ran’s thoughtful look, Gu Mochen paused for a moment before continuing, “Dong Qin still has shares of the Gu Family in her hands, and I need to make sure she coughs them up.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Dong Qin…

Han Siming.

These two are mother and son.

But in family disputes, particularly over property, there is never a question of right or wrong.

If it were the past, she might still worry about how Han Siming would fare.

Whether Han Siming and Gu Mochen would be adversaries in the future, but from the looks of it now, confrontation was inevitable.

After all, Han Siming and Dong Qin were mother and son, an undeniable fact.

Besides…

Where there’s conflict, it’s always because of the desire to compete.

She couldn’t act as God…

it was simply impossible to take care of everyone.
