Jian Ran: “…”

Listening to Qin Mu say this, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered.

For some reason, her eyes felt sour, and so did her nose.

“Qin Third, can’t you be a bit more mature?”

“Young Master is the most mature, knowing what’s most important to me.

Only those ignorant people think that a career is the most important thing to a man.

I only care about the people by my side.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Yes…

Initially, she thought Qin Mu was somewhat childish, but the man’s words were unexpectedly mature to the extreme.

An inexplicable emotion was churning in Jian Ran’s heart.

Every time, she resolved to keep a safe distance from Qin Mu.

But every time…

it backfired.

“It’s getting late, you should go upstairs and rest.”

“Don’t…

Ran, I have some things I’d like to talk to you about.”

“Hmm?”

“What do you plan to do about Gu Mochen?”

Jian Ran: “…”

Upon hearing this, the corners of Jian Ran’s mouth curled into a bitter arc, and she shook her head.

“Qin Third, my relationship with Gu Mochen has never been about what I want to do, but what he wants to do.

Gu Mochen has set his sights on me now…

I’m temporarily at a loss, I can only hope that he will lose interest in me soon.”

The mistake was, she should never have taken a position at the Gu Family’s company.

But at that time, the Gu Family offered the highest salary.

She had no choice…

“Ran, Mrs.

Gu was exposed to be pregnant.

Gu Mochen’s intentions are as clear as Sima Zhao’s—a secret to none.”

“How will you handle this moving forward?”

Jian Ran pursed her lips, and with concern in Qin Mu’s voice, she whispered, “Yes, I know.

I’ll think of something.”

“Qin Third, it’s late.

You should stop worrying about me and go rest.

Tomorrow, go back to the Qin Family and apologize to the old master, Uncle Qin, and Aunt Qin.

They’re very upset.”

“Hmm.”

Qin Mu looked deeply at the soft and worried little woman in front of him, stretched out his big hand, and slowly took Jian Ran into his embrace.

“Ran, Young Master wants to hold you.”

Caught off guard by the man’s childish words, Jian Ran blinked, her beautiful eyes enveloped in his refreshing scent.

Qin Mu’s embrace was very warm.

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened, that sense of familiarity…

close to home, made her really reluctant to push the man in front of her away.

“Qin Third…”

“Don’t talk, you always speak to reject me, hmm…

I don’t want to see you like this.

I just want to hold you quietly…”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran let Qin Mu hold her in his embrace, not with force but with warmth.

“Ran…

actually, when I was in my teens and saw you, I really wanted to sleep.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Expecting Qin Mu to say something constructive was indeed unlikely.

The man had always been frivolous and reckless.

“But…

4 years later, when I met you again, I just wanted to hold you in my arms, to cherish you.

I didn’t want to do any other crappy thing.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Qin Mu had this kind of magic, one second, making you so angry you could explode.

The next second, his words would warm you.

“I’m really pissed off, always wanting to compete with that bastard Han Siming…

but I didn’t expect Gu Mochen to beat me to it, shit.”

Jian Ran pursed her lips, determination flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“I think…

there will come a day when I can break free from Gu Mochen’s control.

When Tang Bao’s condition stabilizes, then we’ll talk.

Yuncheng City is not bad for treating Type 1 diabetes in children.”

At this thought, Jian Ran became contemplative.

For now, she would have to take things one step at a time.

Qin Mu held the woman in his arms.

Jian Ran was someone who liked to shoulder everything herself when she encountered problems.

With a slight press of his lips, he indulgently stretched out his hand and pinched Jian Ran’s fair nose tip, whispering softly.

“Ran, doesn’t having Young Master as your backup sound good?

Why do you insist on relying on yourself?”

“Hmm…”

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth, mainly not wanting Qin Mu to get involved.

After all, the other party was Gu Mochen.

…

After finally sending Qin Mu away, Jian Ran went to Tang Bao’s room and curled up with her to sleep.

Tang Bao lay in Jian Ran’s arms, pouting her small mouth, and couldn’t help but nuzzle close to Jian Ran’s chest.

A childhood habit.

Tang Bao smacked her small lips, unbearably cute.

Jian Ran bent down and kissed the little girl’s forehead, whispering softly, “Good night, Mommy loves you…

so much.”

“Mmm…

Uncle…

love you.”

“Daddy…

Mommy…

hug.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Listening to the little one’s sleep-talk, Jian Ran’s eyes flickered slightly.

In the little one’s dreams, it was all about that ‘Uncle.’

The point is…

There were also Daddy and Mommy.

It seemed like the little lass was dreaming about spending time with the three of them as a family.

Jian Ran felt a heartache and guilt, spontaneously holding the little lass tighter, and spoke softly, “Baobao…

I’m sorry…”

“Mmm.”

As Jian Ran hugged the little lass tightly, she soon felt the area on her chest getting wet.

It turned out, the little lass was drooling.

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran’s face turned a natural shade of red…

Was she drooling like this last night in Gu Mochen’s arms?

Jian Ran felt embarrassed.

Feeling extremely uneasy, it seemed, indeed, like mother, like daughter.
