Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Tang Bao Has a Little Brother Now 2 Updates (1)
In the hospital room:
Two pairs of eyes met.
The woman’s eyes clear… The man’s deep, dark eyes were inscrutable with undercurrents swirling.
Jian Ran pursed her lips, unnaturally looking away.
Now… facing Gu Mochen, there was still some pressure.
Gu Mochen observed her subtle movements, his eyes darkened, his lips tightened into a slight smile.
“I made some soup, try it and see if it suits your taste.”
Jian Ran sat quietly on the hospital bed, watching as the man took large strides towards her, then scooped a bowl of chicken soup and brought it to her.
“I can do it myself.”
Jian Ran raised her hand to take the chicken soup from the man’s hand, cradling it in hers, her gaze falling on the man’s fair fingers, reddened from the heat.
Probably burned while making the soup, Jian Ran narrowed her phoenix eyes, feeling a twinge of pain for him.
Little did she know, Gu Mochen had been up since 6 AM preparing it.
Out of worry for Jian Ran, he hadn’t slept all night.
Jian Ran sipped the chicken soup from her bowl, for the first time… the two sat in silence.
The quiet was so profound that one could almost hear a pin drop.
After Jian Ran finished all the soup in her bowl, she softly said, “I’m done.”
Gu Mochen reached for the bowl from her hand, then pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped Jian Ran’s lips.
The man’s action was habitual, an unconscious gesture.
Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes blurred for a moment… feeling the man’s fingertips faintly caressing her lips.
Jian Ran’s hand, which was on an IV drip, clenched tightly, her beautiful eyes moistened slightly.
Maybe… both she and Gu Mochen were no longer children.
If… facing such a situation in her reckless youth, she would have likely caused a huge uproar.
Now… she and Gu Mochen already have Tang Bao.
There is also a little troublemaker in her belly.
The two were inseparably connected like bone attached to sinew.
They had already returned to their everyday lives.
So, when they encountered issues… they started to give each other silent treatment, giving each other time and space to cool down.
After Gu Mochen finished wiping her lips, Jian Ran murmured hoarsely, “Gu Mochen, I want to be discharged, I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore… and I don’t want to go back to Linhai Villa, it’s empty, just me alone.”
Now… she truly didn’t know where to go.
To the two-bedroom apartment she lived in with Tang Bao before.
That place… she had already terminated the lease.
Jian Ran felt… she was somewhat like a homeless child now.
Besides Gu Mochen, she had no one to rely on.
“I want to go back to Gu Family, the design department is in trouble, as the head of the department, it’s unreasonable not to show up.”
Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes were clear, looking at Gu Mochen with utmost seriousness.
Gu Mochen almost immediately rejected it without hesitation.
“No, you need to stay in the hospital for your pregnancy care, focus on resting.”
When Gu Mochen was domineering, it was always irresistible.
The man was completely resolute, not allowing any objections. Jian Ran’s complexion slightly paled, she wanted to return to the design department to help Gu Mochen relieve his troubles.
After all, the scandal surrounding Gu Family’s design department was all over the news in Yuncheng City, and their time spent in the hospital would only make things worse.
