Chapter 966: Chapter 966: The Two Are Now a Family of Four – Mu Wan Appears, Second Update (5)

Because the supermarket was having a promotion, offering tissues with a photo shoot, Jian Ran was so enthusiastic about it.

Gu Mochen slightly narrowed his deep eyes, and a glimmer of light flickered through them.

"Hmm, I want to keep beautiful memories."

"So how much money did you spend to buy it?"

"Your husband spent 200... Wow, so generous, I don’t even make much selling laundry detergent in a day."

Before Gu Mochen could answer, the saleslady already preempted him, turning Gu Mochen’s handsome face dark.

200...

Jian Ran must have thought that she had spent frivolously.

Indeed, upon hearing this, Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouth... feeling a bit of pain, both heartfelt and literal.

But her wealthy husband had given her a huge surprise once again unconsciously.

"Um... Auntie, there’s a promotion today, right? We’re participating in that..."

"Hehe, sure, your family of three is so good-looking, and the photos turn out beautifully... The last ones were sold... I felt it was such a pity."

Jian Ran looked at the auntie’s high spirits, pursed her lips, and couldn’t help but speak: "Auntie... but you still charged my husband 200... Isn’t that a bit much?"

"Your husband gave it voluntarily..."

Gu Mochen tugged at the corner of his mouth, explaining: "Well... there was only a note of a hundred in the wallet, sorry..."

Jian Ran: "..."

My husband sure knows how to spend lavishly.

Jian Ran was both exasperated and deeply touched by Gu Mochen.

The family of three posed affectionately for several pictures. In the end, they kept one and the rest were given to Gu Mochen’s family as free gifts.

Jian Ran happily received the family portrait from the saleslady, all of them smiling beamingly.

"Your family of three is truly good-looking."

"Um... Grandma, it’s a family of four now, mommy has my little brother in her belly."

Tang Bao’s milky voice was incredibly endearing.

The saleslady was taken aback upon hearing this, and upon giving Jian Ran a closer look, she noticed hints of pregnancy, and couldn’t help but say: "Congratulations, that’s very auspicious."

"Thank you, auntie."

Jian Ran, linking arms with Gu Mochen, smiled radiantly. She gently pinched the man’s arm and whispered: "We’ll settle the accounts when we get home... You spent an extra 200."

Gu Mochen couldn’t help but smile at the woman’s adorable manner.

Jian Ran... she never let him down.

He adored the way she managed daily life.

...

When it came to paying, naturally, it was Gu Mochen. Jian Ran hadn’t paid much attention to Gu Mochen’s wallet previously, only knowing it was a European-style men’s wallet, a private custom-made luxury.

Now, casting a sideways glance inside the man’s wallet compartment, there was indeed a photo inside.

Seeing Jian Ran’s gaze on his wallet, Gu Mochen pulled out the necessary bank card and handed the wallet straight to her.

"Hmm."

Jian Ran took the wallet from the man’s hand and then pulled out that photo. It was indeed a picture of the family of three taken in front of a laundry detergent billboard.

It never occurred to her that Gu Mochen had been keeping the photo in his wallet all this time.

Jian Ran’s eyes moistened a bit, she sniffed her nose and looked at the happy faces of the family of three, feeling like she was immersed in happiness.

...

At night:

Due to Jian Ran’s pregnancy, Gu Mochen prepared a lavish dinner.

To whet Jian Ran’s appetite so she would eat more, Gu Mochen and Tang Bao went all out, making Jian Ran laugh uncontrollably, naturally enhancing her appetite.

After dinner, her belly was round and full.

The family of three walked along the seaside coastline.

Jian Ran quietly snuggled up next to Gu Mochen, who was holding the little Princess in his arms.

The family of three walked peacefully, embraced together, and Jian Ran felt that tonight’s coastline was... very long and beautiful.

...

The next day, which was the 29th of the Lunar New Year, the normal legal working time goes until the 30th of the Lunar New Year.

For the Gu Family, this year they only worked until the 29th.

Meaning, today was the last day for Jian Ran to meet the deadline set by President Wu of Dongyue.

After checking in at Gu Family’s office simply, Jian Ran went directly to Dongyue, and upon reaching the lobby, she settled at the rest area nearby.

Now... The secretaries were quite familiar with her. As soon as Jian Ran arrived, they promptly helped her schedule a meeting with President Wu.

Jian Ran thought she would be refused continuously, only getting a chance to see President Wu at lunchtime. However, unexpectedly, at 9:30 in the morning, she saw a girl dressed in a white shirt and canvas shoes running out from the elevator direction with reddened eyes, and President Wu followed closely behind the girl.

"Mu Wan, stop right there."

The girl in front of Jian Ran ignored everything else... and just kept walking forward.

Jian Ran’s eyes widened, standing up, then her gaze fell upon the girl named Mu Wan’s cheek; upon closer examination, she somewhat resembled President Wu.

Could it be... father and daughter?

A flicker of shadow crossed Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes; she had seen this kind of scene plenty of times before.

When she was at odds with Jian Anguo in the past, she would run around the entire company, followed by Jian Anguo chasing behind her.

"Dad... I will not enter into a business marriage, especially not with him."

Mu Wan’s eyes were defiant, her delicate cheeks pale as cream, finely sculpted and pure-looking.

She seemed like the girl next door.

With just a glance, Jian Ran felt a good impression.

And also... a strange sense of familiarity lingered in her heart.

She vaguely felt... she had seen Mu Wan before.

"You good-for-nothing... Dad is doing this for your own good."

For her own good? Mu Wan couldn’t help but find the words bitterly ironic.

She wasn’t a legitimate daughter of the Wu Family, merely a child born out of wedlock, hidden from public view, taking her mother’s surname.

For many years, she was not favored, and now... they thought of her when aligned with business marriage.

However, they didn’t expect that the other party would be her...

Distracted and troubled, Mu Wan didn’t watch where she was going and crashed directly into Jian Ran.

Jian Ran stumbled several steps backward from Mu Wan’s collision, instinctively protecting her belly with her hands.

But... her chest really took a hit.
