Jian Ran sat inside the car, unable to hide her exhaustion.
Too many confusions intertwined in her heart, impossible to clear up all at once.
A slight smile erged at the corner of Jian Ran’s mouth, hmm...
Everyone is hiding things from her.
Jian Ran took a deep breath, raised her hand to rub her temples, just as she saw Gu Mochen’s tall figure sitting down in the driver’s seat.
"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for soone to take good care of her."
Although he didn’t ntion her by na or call her mom, Jian Ran knew that Gu Mochen was talking about Su Wei.
Jian Ran pressed her lips together, and hearing the man’s words, she murmured.
"Okay."
...
Gu Mochen drove Jian Ran directly to the Gu Family.
Throughout the journey, the two of them remained silent.
But Jian Ran knew that Gu Mochen was brewing a storm that was almost ready to swallow her whole.
Jian Ran clenched her little hand, looked at Gu Mochen before her, and spoke.
"If you have nothing to say, I’ll head to the design departnt first."
"Ranran, let’s talk."
Jian Ran: "..."
The man’s words were full of certainty. Jian Ran listened, curled her lips, and after a while, she responded seriously, "Okay."
...
Gu Mochen’s gaze fell on Jian Ran beside him, his thin lips pressed together.
"Ranran, tell , why did you send away the two bodyguards today?"
"..."
Jian Ran was shocked upon hearing the man’s words. She always knew Gu Mochen was unfathomable, adept at doing anything, and his thoughts were obscure and impossible to hide from.
Now listening to Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran’s expression subtly changed. Indeed, any of her small thoughts couldn’t escape Gu Mochen’s eyes.
Given that, there’s no need to hide things between a married couple.
Jian Ran took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.
"Sorry, I know sending away the bodyguards makes easily vulnerable to danger, but I’m always with Xiaowan to ensure I won’t be in danger."
After a pause, Jian Ran looked at Gu Mochen and voiced her inner thoughts.
"The reason I did that is because I accidentally overheard your conversation with Secretary Zhou in the office, where I learned you wanted to send my mom abroad. Sorry, I didn’t an to eavesdrop; I just unconsciously heard my mother’s na while opening the door."
Gu Mochen: "..."
Jian Ran’s mind is clever, adept in anything.
Gu Mochen narrowed his dark eyes, listening to the woman’s words, pressed his thin lips, and a dim light flashed in his eyes.
"Mo Chen... I know you sent soone to stop her from seeing , but... she is my family, my mom..."
Gu Mochen: "..."
Precisely because of Su Wei’s significant importance to Jian Ran and Jian Anguo, he had no choice but to do this. Doing so would cause the least harm to them.
Gu Mochen internally cursed, Shit, he hadn’t expected that of all things, he’d let Jian Ran overhear the conversation between him and Secretary Zhou. No wonder Jian Ran’s face wasn’t good when she walked into the office that day.
"Ranran, believe , whatever I do is for you and Little Cubao’s sake."
Gu Mochen raised his large hand to rest on Jian Ran’s shoulders, his dark eyes deep with serious determination.
Jian Ran t the man’s refined dark gaze, pressing her lips.
"This, I never doubted, but... Mo Chen, she is my mom... my biological mother, so she’s very significant to ."
