Assistant to My Contracted Husband

This sharp gaze made Lan Xing tremble terribly, yet she still tried to put on a facade of calm.

...

During working hours, the restroom was deserted.

Once Jian Ran entered the restroom, she quickly stripped off her white blazer, full of frustration.

This blazer was specially bought for working at the Gu Family company.

She had haggled with the vendors in the market for quite a while.

Uh, I wonder if this stain can be washed off, it hurts to think about the money.

Jian Ran didn't have time to attend to the scalded skin on her chest, and swiftly washed her white blazer with water, full of concern.

Please, I don't have any spare money to buy another one.

It has to come off.

The sound of the door being pushed open came from behind, and Jian Ran thought it was Lan Xing, so she casually said.

"Manager, thank you, just put the clothes on the rack, I…"

As Jian Ran raised her eyes to the mirror, intending to see who was behind her through the reflection, the man appearing in the mirror made her face change slightly.

"Mr. Gu, what are you doing here?"

Without her blazer, she was just wearing a thin black shirt with silver threads, which did little to hide her exquisite figure and the milk-white texture of her skin.

Putting on the now completely drenched blazer was unrealistic, and Jian Ran quickly regained her composure.

This… is the women's restroom, he…

"Mr. Gu, did you enter the wrong place by mistake?"

Gu Mochen's glance swept over the woman in front of him, faint astonishment flickering in his eyes, before quickly looking away.

"Just now, why didn't you dodge?"

Whether it was taking the coffee cup or splashing the coffee, Lan Xing had enough time to avoid her.

Listening to the man's words, Jian Ran was slightly surprised, then responded indifferently, "If, by being splashed with coffee, I could reduce her anger and she would stop targeting me, then I'd rather be splashed. After all, working under a supervisor who is constantly against me is not easy."

As she spoke, Jian Ran looked candidly at the inscrutable man in front of her, her words earnest and measured.

"Moreover, isn't this what you wanted to see, Mr. Gu?"

The man's stature was tall, towering before her with the dignity of a deity.

Needing to look up at him, Gu Mochen listened to Jian Ran's words without expressing agreement or denial.

"Mr. Gu, when you asked me to come upstairs, was it deliberate? Choosing my work deliberately, abandoning Lan Xing… thereby enraging Lan Xing, who in turn made things difficult for me, didn't you?"

As Gu Mochen listened to Jian Ran's words, his eyes grew even denser.

Two years ago, during their brief encounter, how had he not realized that this young girl was sharp-tongued and exceptionally smart?

She truly was the daughter of a distinguished family from Yuncheng, superior in both knowledge and courage.

Under a calm appearance, she was someone who played weak to ensnare her prey.

Gu Mochen neither confirmed nor denied, their gazes locked together. Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed from the doorway.

Jian Ran cursed silently, it must be Lan Xing bringing her clothes.

If she was seen, wouldn't that mean her coffee spill was in vain?

The next moment, the little hand pushed Gu Mochen into the changing room nearby, and just as he was about to speak, the small hand covered his thin lips.

"Shh."

Gu Mochen: "…"

On his lips, the woman's palm skin was delicate as curdled cream. In the cramped changing room, the two were almost seamlessly pressed against each other, their breaths mingling.
