Inside the CEO’s office:
Gu Mochen’s expression was calm, showing no unusual signs.
Jian Ran listened to the man’s words, taking quite a while to collect her thoughts.
Because Gu Mochen had lied right in front of her.
Yet, the man’s composure made it impossible to doubt him.
Jian Ran’s small hand tightened a bit, murmuring, "Mm, I understand..."
Jian Ran lowered her beautiful eyes, unable to hide her disappointed look. Gu Mochen raised his hand to stroke her hair and pinched her soft cheek, taking the initiative to change the subject.
"How did Little Cubao behave today? Was he good?"
After speaking, Gu Mochen leaned down directly, placing his ear against Jian Ran’s rounded belly.
Now he could hear the little one stirring inside Jian Ran’s belly, a very peculiar feeling.
Amazed at the wonder of life’s continuation.
Jian Ran: "..."
Jian Ran watched the man’s father-like gestures, a smile tugging at her lips.
"Hmm, behaved quite well..."
At least, not causing any trouble.
Moreover, even after hearing such shocking news, he did not make a fuss.
A little one like this is truly endearing.
Gu Mochen squinted his deep eyes, his thin lips landing on Jian Ran’s rounded belly, and said, "Mm, Little Cubao is very good, keep it up..."
After speaking, Gu Mochen helped Jian Ran to sit on the sofa, looked at the design drawings in her hand, and said, "You sit down and rest for a while, or lie on my lap and sleep for a bit, I’ll take a look."
"Alright."
...
Jian Ran quietly sat on the sofa, watching Gu Mochen elegantly examine the design drawings, his movents skillful, fluid, absolutely... handso like no other.
During this ti, the secretary brought in so desserts, respectfully turning to Jian Ran and speaking.
"Madam, your pastries, let us know if there’s anything else you need."
"Mm, thank you, and sorry for the trouble..."
Jian Ran responded lightly, her beautiful eyes landing on Gu Mochen, and asked hoarsely, "Are there any problems with these design drawings?"
"No issues."
Under Jian Ran’s leadership, the design departnt had indeed made significant progress.
The primary reason was that although Jian Ran was pregnant, she did not shirk any responsibility.
This was the quality Gu Mochen admired most in her.
Innovation, practicality, the works of the Gu Family’s design departnt were in high demand in the market.
...
Jian Ran listened to Gu Mochen’s words and nodded.
"I still have work to do, so I’ll head out first..."
Jian Ran’s thoughts were sowhat chaotic, and she worried that if she stayed another second in front of Gu Mochen, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from questioning...
"Wait a mont."
Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran suddenly stand up, reaching out to gently grab her slender wrist, his hawk-like eyes knitted in a puzzled expression at her instinctive attempt to leave.
"Finish the desserts, they’re all your favorites, plus fresh fruits and snacks."
Jian Ran: "..."
The man’s words were imperious and beyond refute.
Jian Ran’s clear beautiful eyes t the man’s sharp gaze, and after a long while, she said hoarsely, "Alright."
Gu Mochen noticed Jian Ran’s poor complexion, a montary confusion flashing through his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"I’ll feed you."
"No need, Mr. Gu, I’m not a child..."
"In my eyes, you’ll always be a child needing love."
The man’s sweet talk was a double-edged sword.
