"If you miss him, just give him a call."
"Dad, it’s not that I haven’t tried; it’s just that no one picked up. He’s probably busy with work."
Jian Ran extended her small hand to gently stroke her rounded belly and softly said, "Well, I’ll try calling Mo Chen again now."
"You silly girl."
Jian Anguo watched Jian Ran’s sweet smile, then affectionately watched as Jian Ran willingly sat on the sofa and dialed Gu Mochen’s number.
Daughters grow up so quickly.
Now, Jian Ran’s entire attention was on Gu Mochen.
Gu Mochen’s phone remained unanswered, and Jian Ran’s previously curved lips straightened out, unable to suppress the disappointnt in her heart.
Jian Anguo secretly smiled at Jian Ran’s expression, quietly thinking to himself that this disappointnt would make the subsequent surprise even more joyful.
It turns out he’s beco Mo Chen’s accomplice, helping the man keep things from Jian Ran.
...
The next day, the award ceremony.
Jian Ran only managed to reach Gu Mochen two hours before the ceremony, just in ti to walk the red carpet. When the man’s deep voice ca through the phone, Jian Ran’s eyes nearly welled up with tears.
It’s been about a week since she last spoke with Gu Mochen.
Jian Ran sniffled, her voice unsteady as she said, "Mo Chen... I miss you."
Hearing Jian Ran’s almost tearful voice, Gu Mochen’s lips curved into a doting smile.
"Hmm, are you crying?"
"No... I’m not Tang Bao... I just miss you a little bit. Mostly it’s Tang Bao who misses you, always making noise about ’daddy’ beside ."
"I... I actually just miss you a little bit... and Little Cubao misses you too."
Sotis, a woman’s contradicting words are the most adorable.
A little bit, slightly—Gu Mochen’s heart felt utterly lted by Jian Ran’s words.
Gu Mochen’s charming lips tugged into a subtle smile and casually responded to her words.
"Mrs. Gu, I miss you... More than your little bit or slightly, I miss you very, very much."
Listening to the man’s words, Jian Ran sniffled, and her eyes grew even more moist.
"Hmm, I’m in Germany waiting for you. When do you think you’ll be done with work? Today is the award ceremony..."
The rest of her words were left unsaid, naturally hoping that Gu Mochen could be by her side.
Careers are extrely important for n, but Jian Ran still hoped Gu Mochen could accompany her at the event since her design was recognized and nominated.
Having him by her side was the real focus.
Even without winning an award, having him with her would fill her heart with unspoken pride.
Without Gu Mochen beside her, she felt so lost.
"Another three days. An unexpected issue ca up with the negotiation; it’ll take a few more days."
Jian Ran: "..."
Though she had been ntally prepared, Jian Ran couldn’t hide the disappointnt upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words.
Jian Ran pressed her lips together, feeling utterly downcast, but she still managed to curve them into a faint smile.
"Well, focus on your work..."
"It’s just... I miss you quite a bit,"
Having said that, Jian Ran’s face reddened, her heart racing uncontrollably. After a mont, she softly spoke.
"Mo Chen... co find as soon as you finish your work."
"Hmm, has Cubao been behaving lately?"
"Well, very well-behaved, no fussing in my belly... even slept quietly on the flight. During these days here... no adverse reactions; the little one seems to really like Germany."
