2 more updates (2)_1 After he spoke, Gu Mochen headed straight for the restroom.
Jian Ran nibbled on the Black Forest cake in front of her, her whole being devoid of appetite, merely swallowing mechanically.
Her phone in the bag began to ring; Jian Ran fumbled to pull it out, revealing a message from Gu Mochen.
Madam Gu, I’ll be waiting for you by the restrooms.
A single address as Mrs.
Gu turned Jian Ran’s face pale, aware of Qin Mu’s gaze on her.
She locked her phone in a fluster, murmuring softly,
“Qin Three, I’m going to the restroom.”
“I’ll accompany you…”
“It’s fine, I used to come here a lot as a kid.
I know the place; I can go.”
Jian Ran took a deep breath and walked towards the restrooms, her small hands interlocked together.
Since all the guests were in the living room, there weren’t many people in the direction of the restrooms.
What was bound to come…
always comes eventually.
Jian Ran knew there was no avoiding it.
However, as she passed by a piano room near the restrooms, she felt a domineering force gripping her wrist and dragging her into the piano room.
The Qin Family had always valued education—poetry, etiquette, music, and the classics were all comprehensive.
Downstairs there was a piano room, a study, a fragrance-mixing room, and the like, places Jian Ran had only played in as a child.
She let out an involuntary cry of surprise as a man’s large hand swiftly covered her lips, and the next instant, Jian Ran heard the sound of the door locking, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
The man’s handsome face loomed large in front of her, leaving Jian Ran’s complexion deathly pale.
The man’s deep, dark eyes held secrets as vast as the ocean.
“Or should I remark, you were almost my brother’s wife?”
Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen’s casual words, her small hands clenched, forcing a smile on her lips, though her face was bloodlessly pale.
“Didn’t you say you were away on a business trip?
How come you’re back all of a sudden?”
Gu Mochen noticed Jian Ran’s smile gleaming brightly, his narrow eyes slightly squinting, his tall frame pressing against her slender body.
“My Madam Gu is here to attend the Qin patriarch’s birthday celebration with her childhood friend.
Shouldn’t I be accompanying her?”
do you realize what this birthday celebration for the old Mr.
It’s arranged for matchmaking Qin Mu; him bringing you here openly signifies something, don’t you understand?”
Upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran’s face changed.
She really was unaware of this aspect; she had merely thought it to be a simple birthday celebration.
Out of respect for the old Mr.
Qin and Qin Mu’s persistent coaxing, that’s why she had agreed to come.
Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes darkened for a moment, her surprised expression suggesting that Gu Mochen roughly understood she was indeed uninformed.
“Moreover, Madam Gu’s childhood friends aren’t limited to one, are they?”
As he finished speaking, Gu Mochen’s large hand rested on the woman’s fair, jade-like cheek, his gaze lingering on her delicate features as his dark eyes deepened even further.
Sensing the woman’s body trembling fiercely, in the next instant, Gu Mochen’s dark eyes flared with a harsh glint as he suddenly gripped her slender waist and pulled her closer to him.
“Shouldn’t I do something to declare my ownership over you as your man, hmm?”
