Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018 Wedding Night 2 More Subscriptions (4)

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly. It was clear that Jian Ran was very tired. He raised his large hand to caress her shoulder, gently massaging and kneading.

“Hm? What do you mean by how?”

“Mm…”

Jian Ran hesitated a little, her thoughts drifting to Mu Wan’s sketch of Qin Mu earlier that day. That scene—frame by frame—was deeply etched in her mind, impossible to shake off.

Especially when she thought of the way the woman gazed at Qin Mu. As a woman herself, now happily married and with a man she deeply loved…

The meaning behind it… was self-evident.

Jian Ran didn’t want to overthink it on her own. She looked at Gu Mochen and said softly, “I just don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I always feel like Xiaowan marrying Qin Mu wasn’t by chance, nor was it a purely commercial arrangement. Instead… she likes Qin Mu.”

Jian Ran poured out everything that was on her mind in one breath. When her eyes met Gu Mochen’s deep, dark ones, there wasn’t much surprise in them. Instead, he lifted his large hand and gently ruffled her hair.

“Mm, as expected of my wife… not bad, you’re not entirely clueless.”

Jian Ran: “…”

At this moment… Jian Ran was even more astonished.

“Gu Mochen, you… don’t tell me you’ve known all along? When… when did you figure it out?”

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes and then let his thin lips curve ever so slightly.

“Instinct…”

“I don’t believe you. Just tell me—when exactly did you figure it out?”

Jian Ran, like an inquisitive child, nestled herself into Gu Mochen’s arms and kept bombarding him with questions. Gu Mochen’s thin lips curved faintly again before he responded with a question of his own.

“How does the Wu Family compare to the Qin Family?”

“Mm… they’re not even in the same league…”

The Qin Family was vast and powerful, whereas the Wu Family, in comparison, was like common folk.

This was an undeniable fact.

Gu Mochen curved his lips in satisfaction and then said, “Exactly. So the two don’t qualify as a commercial match-up, do they? The Wu Family might benefit from the Qin Family, but the Qin Family wouldn’t gain anything from the Wu Family. Commercial marriages are all about mutual benefit.”

“Mm…”

Jian Ran nodded. “And with the elder so fond of Qin Mu, there’s no way he’d turn Qin Mu’s marriage into a mere commercial exchange.”

“Exactly…”

Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran’s answer with satisfaction. His thin lips pressed together as he murmured softly onto her delicate, graceful face.

“And Mu Wan, with her cold temperament, isn’t someone who would sweet-talk to please others. Though she has a decent appearance, she usually keeps it understated. In general… she’s just an ordinary university student, isn’t she?”

“Yes.”

Jian Ran was entirely convinced by everything Gu Mochen was saying.

Gu Mochen then narrowed his eyes slightly, visibly enjoying the adorably dazed way Jian Ran was looking at him. His lips curled faintly.

“So… Mu Wan marrying into the Qin Family wasn’t because of her background or any significant traits of hers…”

“Mm…”

Actually, Mu Wan was like a gentle stream of water. At first glance, she always seemed like a daisy quietly tucked away in a corner. But the more time spent with her, the more one couldn’t help but grow fond of her personality.

“But you still haven’t said how you figured it out.”

“It’s simple. Once you rule out all those factors, just look for the commonalities between the two people.”

Hearing this, Jian Ran gave it serious thought, considering the commonalities between Qin Mu and Mu Wan. Her beautiful eyes widened in realization.

“You mean… Yuncheng Middle School and Yuncheng University, they both went to the same schools…”

“Mm. When coincidences pile up, they become inevitabilities…”
