Chapter 972: Chapter 972 The Marriage is Set and Must Take Place, Two More Updates (1)

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen were the picture of marital bliss, harmonious and affectionate.

Although Dongyue had a longstanding business partnership with the Gu Family, it was quite rare to see Gu Mochen in person.

Not to mention... Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu attending an event together and dining as a couple.

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen raised their glasses; the discussion from earlier was more or less addressed.

Originally... it was a trivial matter, merely disrupted by some troublemakers.

"President Gu, Mrs. Gu, you two really make a perfect match..."

Jian Ran curved her lips slightly, a stream of happiness swiftly warming her heart as she gazed at Gu Mochen’s handsome and resolute features, murmuring softly.

"Thank you, President Wu."

At that, Gu Mochen’s thin lips faintly curled, and he murmured back: "You look a little pale, do you want to drink some milk? Or maybe some juice?"

"Gu Mochen... I’ve already had quite a few glasses today."

"Hmm... then have some vegetable juice, corn juice."

After saying this, Gu Mochen signaled the waiter to bring some fresh juice, encouraging Jian Ran to mix it up.

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran swallowed hard; despite puckering her lips as if to show displeasure at Gu Mochen, her watery beautiful eyes were brimming with happiness.

The intimacy between the husband and wife, and the happiness within, was self-evident through the way they looked into each other’s eyes.

President Wu couldn’t help but express his admiration; it was great seeing the couple so harmonious.

No wonder... The Gu business was thriving under Gu Mochen.

Qin Mu narrowed his dark eyes, watching the affectionate couple with a lifted corner of his mouth...

Impressive... Jian Ran had let go of what happened four years ago... He felt a bit of admiration himself.

It proved that love... could tolerate everything.

Qin Mu felt content as well.

Unseen by Qin Mu, Mu Wan had been seemingly looking down, but her gaze remained fixed on him, without straying for a moment.

Mu Wan was somewhat heartache... seeing the smile in Qin Mu’s eyes.

But... she felt that the man before her had reached the ultimate loneliness.

It had always been like this...

Sometimes, Mu Wan wondered if Qin Mu was too foolish?

Otherwise... why would he choose to cling to the same tree, having eyes only for Jian Ran wherever she appeared.

Even now that Jian Ran was married with a child, he still insisted on playing the role of an elder brother.

Mu Wan thought of this and her lips curled in a bitter, wry smile.

If she judged Qin Mu as foolish, didn’t it make her even more so?

Here she was... in love with a persistent fool, yet not brave enough to even confess her unrequited love.

What a failure.

...

The Gu Family and Dongyue had basically reached a consensus; Jian Ran, as the design department’s manager, had initially taken the blame proactively.

The dinner table... was ultimately where men talked business.

Gu Mochen had some impression of President Wu from before, so the three men engaged in business talk... while Jian Ran chatted casually with Mu Wan.

"Mu Wan, what major did you study at Yuncheng University?"

"In my second year... I’m studying sketching."

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flashed with approval; Mu Wan in front of her was quite unique, radiating a quiet melancholy, tranquil as water.

At only 20 years old, she already seemed mature beyond her years...

Mu Wan...

did not share the Wu surname.

She had heard that President Wu had only one precious daughter named Wu Jingjing, and she had never heard of Mu Wan prior to this.
