Gu Mochen looked at the diamond ring laid open in the woman’s palm and spoke indifferently.
“When I give someone a gift, I do not have the habit of taking it back.”
The diamond ring, worth tens of millions, although he was so nonchalant about it, it was unreasonable for her to keep it.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid, Mr.
Gu, you’ll have to set a precedent because my principle is to never accept rewards without merit…”
Having said that, Jian Ran placed the diamond ring in the car and pursed her lips slightly.
She believed in earning her rewards…
And not accepting ill-gotten gains.
Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of approval curling at the corner of his mouth upon hearing Jian Ran’s words.
“Alright, for you, I’m willing to make an exception just this once.”
Upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran was slightly startled, sensing the ambiguity in them, which clearly signaled a man’s possessiveness towards a woman.
Gu Mochen smoothly parked the car at the foot of the residential building, and Jian Ran proactively unbuckled her seatbelt.
After speaking, Jian Ran prepared to open the door and leave, but she saw the man in the driver’s seat suddenly move closer to her, grasping her hand.
Jian Ran was taken aback, the man’s large hand exerting slight pressure on the back of her hand as a dangerous presence closed in.
The man’s chest was extremely strong and well-defined, evidencing his regular exercise routine, and his hot breath sprayed on her ear, causing Jian Ran’s heart to beat chaotically.
“Jian Ran, today Elder Mr.
Qin mentioned that the person you like is someone else.
Jian Ran’s whole being was shaken by Gu Mochen’s words, her small hand clenched tightly.
“Gu Mochen, everyone has their own past.
When we signed the contract, you did not inquire about mine, did you?”
Directly calling him by his name, Gu Mochen, it was the first time for Jian Ran.
The corners of Gu Mochen’s mouth barely curved, listening to the woman’s little mouth uttering the three words “Gu Mochen,” he found whatever she called him – Gu Mochen or Mo Chen – damn pleasing to hear.
“Jian Ran, was it the man you saw in the elevator just now?”
Jian Ran’s astonished and absent-minded appearance only confirmed the thoughts in Gu Mochen’s heart, his eyes growing even deeper.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
After speaking, Jian Ran pushed against the man’s chest, flusteredly opening the car door and running towards the walkway, her disheveled figure caught in Gu Mochen’s gaze, prompting his lips to press into a cold smirk.
“Uncle Qin is awesome, I’ll wipe the sweat for you.”
When Jian Ran returned home, Qin Mu was lying on the floor, with Tang Bao sitting on his back, entirely like she was riding a big horse.
Jian Ran quickly went forward and picked up Tang Bao into her arms.
“Yes, Tang Bao, how can you let Uncle Qin lie on the floor.”
“Ranny, this is our team leader we’re talking about.
As the vice team leader, this is my duty,” said Qin Mu in a carefree manner.
Jian Ran looked at Qin Mu’s flippant demeanor, and her expression darkened.
Wherever Qin Mu went, he was Mr.
Qin, the boss, but when he came to her place, he would humble himself and become Tang Bao’s big horse.
Just now in front of Elder Mr.
Qin, he hadn’t forgotten to compliment her.
Jian Ran was about to say something when a sharp pain in her ankle caused Qin Mu to quickly help her sit down on the sofa.
Looking at Jian Ran’s swollen foot and ankle, Qin Mu carefully placed her small foot in his palm and gently massaged it.
“Where did you go today?
You didn’t attend the Gu Family’s annual event and were nowhere to be seen.
Dressed , and now you’ve injured your foot?”
Looking at the man’s annoyed and worried expression, Jian Ran was about to explain, but in the next instant, the man’s concerned words spilled from his thin lips: “Ranny, does this feel a bit better?”
Just now he had been on the floor playing horse; now, he was lowering himself to rub her foot.
Jian Ran looked at Qin Mu, her beautiful eyes filled with the guilt of lies.
