Chapter 17 - President Gu Is Afraid of Being Cuckolded Please Bookmark
Chapter 17 of "Assistant to My Contracted Husband" begins the action: Jian Ran returned home and headed straight to Tang Baoâs room.The little girl was sweetly... Discover the next part!
Jian Ran returned home and headed straight to Tang Baoâs room.The little girl was sweetly asleep, hugging a TFboys doll with a look of utter satisfaction, warming Jian Ranâs heart.
The little fan sure was diligent!
Even in her sleep, she clung to her idol.
Jian Ran kissed Tang Baoâs forehead and was about to stand up when she heard the little one murmur dream words with pouted lips.
âXiaoming, our Boy is the most handsome.â
Jian Ran couldnât help but chuckle.
Several days had passed, and she hadnât expected Tang Bao to still remember that joke.
âWho says I donât have a daddy?
My daddy is as handsome as Boy.
Boy is the angel he sent to me.
Daddy is just too busy, so he let Boy stay with me for now.â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
The smile that had just appeared on her face was frozen by Tang Baoâs words.
When she was younger, every time Tang Bao asked who her daddy was, Jian Ran would evade the question by pointing to TFboys or EXO on the TV and tell her they were angels arranged by her daddy to keep her company.
Unexpectedly, she had always remembered, and presumably, that was also why she liked TFboys and EXO.
Jian Ran felt a heavy weight in her heart.
Tang Bao must have been upset at kindergarten again.
She reached out to gently stroke the little oneâs hair, her beautiful eyes filled with distress.
âGood girl, Mommyâs little treasure, good night.â
After returning to her room, Jian Ran kept pondering the deep meaning in Gu Mochenâs words during the car ride.
Most likely, although they were husband and wife in name, Mr.
Gu was still afraid of being cuckolded, wasnât he?
The reason Mr.
Gu was so worried must be due to the provocations of some green tea bitches, and as for that Lan XingâŚ
Thinking of the womanâs malicious intentions, Jian Ran squinted her eyes slightly and a glint flashed across them.
The next day, after sending Tang Bao to kindergarten and having a brief chat with the teacher, Jian Ran hurried to the Gu Family company.
In the design department, Jian Ranâs design work âArtisanâs Heartâ had been successfully selected by Dongheng International, and the news had spread throughout the department.
It was just one nightâs networking that had clinched Dongheng Internationalâs most important design project for the year.
Everyone tacitly understood and looked at Jian Ran with a deeper meaning.
They did not know that Jian Ran and Qin Mu had been old acquaintances.
Jian Ran didnât plan to explain and just responded with a faint smile.
On her desk was a bunch of Pansies sent by Qin Muâs messenger.
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
It really did match Qin Muâs flamboyant temperament.
The flower language of Pansies is âPlease think of me.â
Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her lips and then immersed herself in work.
After her confirmation, having her designs selected would mean a bonusâŚ
That was Jian Ranâs motivation to work.
Well, with the bonus, she could take Tang Bao to a TFboys concert.
The little one would surely be ecstatic.
The others thought that Jian Ran had slept her way to the top the night before to secure the design project, but only Lan Xing knew the truth, and, eaten up with jealousy, was always looking for ways to trouble Jian Ran.
âJian Ran, this is Dongjiang Groupâs draft for interior decoration design, help me revise it.â
Interior decoration?
She was a designer, not an interior decorator.
Frankly, she did it on purpose.
The woman was dressed in a low-cut outfit, exuding an imposing presence that was truly distasteful in its arrogance.
âI know itâs mealtime now, and a little later wonât starve anyone to death.
Besides, this is for the companyâs sake.
I have to give this to Mr.
Gu this afternoon.
Delaying Mr.
Guâs matters will leave you in a predicament that you canât escape.â
Lan Xing, holding a grudge in her heart, hurled the design drawing directly at Jian Ranâs face without saying a word, but Jian Ran swiftly dodged.
âBe smart about it.â
After saying that, Lan Xing glanced disdainfully at Jian Ran and sauntered off in her seductive high heels, leaving Jian Ran with a darkened expression.
At 1 p.m., after Lan Xing returned from lunch, Jian Ran, hungry, handed over the well-prepared design drawing to Lan Xing, who had initially provided a draft claiming it needed revisions when, in fact, it lacked any substance.
Jian Ran had spent over an hour designing it.
Lan Xing took a quick glance at it and her eyes lit up.
It was indeed a fine piece of work.
âThatâs all it is.
Oh, and since youâve missed the lunch break, you might as well stay hungry today.
It wouldnât do to eat during work hours in the afternoon, would it?â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Shameless.
Jian Ran pursed her lips, managing to squeeze out a hint of a smile.
âAlright.â
Lan Xing, seeing the merit in Jian Ranâs design, plotted in her heart, âJian Ran, come with me to Mr.
Guâs office.
Mr.
Guâs feedback can be a learning opportunity for you.
But remember, this design belongs to me, and you have nothing to do with it.
Understood?â
Upon hearing Lan Xingâs words, a sardonic smile curled the corners of Jian Ranâs mouth.
So Lan Xing intended to parade her design as her own, bask in Gu Mochenâs praise, and put Jian Ran on the sideline to assert her dominance.
Jian Ran nodded nonchalantly, âUnderstood.â
With hunger paling her face, Jian Ran followed Lan Xing into the CEOâs office.
Lan Xing deliberately lifted her already short-enough skirt a bit higher and lowered her neckline.
Jian Ran gave a fleeting glance to Lan Xing at her side.
In contrast to Lan Xingâs elaborate and heavy makeup, Jian Ranâs beauty was fresh and compelling, capturing immediate attention.
âMr.
Gu, here is the design you requested.
Please take a look, Iâve spent three days preparing it,â Lan Xing said, bending over to present the cleavage of her chest fully before Gu Mochen.
Instead, Gu Mochen caught the sparkle in Jian Ranâs beautiful eyes and the smile on her lips, paying no attention to Lan Xing.
Lan Xing waited expectantly for Mr.
Guâs praise, while Jian Ran, raising an eyebrow, also looked forward to Gu Mochenâs reaction.
âSmackâŚâ
With a sudden loud noise, Gu Mochen raised his hand and slammed the folder onto the ground.
âLan Xing, as the design department head of the Gu Family, how could you make such a rudimentary mistake?
There shouldnât be more than three colors in the space design, excluding white and black.
And yet, your design contains four colors.â
Lan Xingâs face changed color.
Shocked at Gu Mochenâs unexpected outburst, she quickly bent down to pick up the folder.
To her surprise, there were indeed four colors in the space design.
Such a basic mistake; Jian Ran couldnât possibly be unaware.
Realizing something, Lan Xing glared fiercely at Jian Ran beside her.
Jian Ranâs lips curved in satisfaction as she watched Lan Xing erupt in anger.
Calm and composed, she stood to the side and took the initiative to speak.
âMr.
Gu, please donât be angry.
I believe that the supervisor didnât do it intentionally.â
After finishing, Jian Ran smiled sweetly, directly causing Lan Xingâs face to darken with fury nearly to the point of a stroke.
