Chapter 195 - Good Morning Mrs

Gu, Update 1 (2) After pondering for a moment, since she was already pretending to be asleep, she decided to keep up the act.

No matter how simple Gu Mochen’s life was, they had agreed to a relationship in name only, strangers in reality.

Yet Gu Mochen kept crossing the line, and she had to guard her own boundaries.

Jian Ran couldn’t help but think of the phone call just now, where Gu Mochen was incredibly tender and indulgent.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly.

Every person has that softest spot in their heart.

The woman who had just called was probably the one occupying that tender spot in Gu Mochen’s heart.

As soon as Gu Mochen spoke, his gaze fell upon Jian Ran’s soft, pale face.

He observed her calm demeanor, seemingly feigning deep sleep, and his thin lips pursed slightly.

Having heard Jian Ran sarcastically mention his association with Lan Xing…

for some reason, he felt the need to explain.

Looking at the woman’s long and curved eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly, Gu Mochen found her incredibly adorable and continued to speak.

“To be precise, I’ve only been in contact with one woman, um… I am a normal man, even though that one time was an accident.”

With that, a deep, profound light flickered in Gu Mochen’s dark eyes, immeasurably deep.

Gu Mochen clearly did not want to dwell on the past.

So, he glossed over it.

Jian Ran was still pretending to sleep, but she couldn’t fall asleep at all anymore.

Gu Mochen’s words echoed in her ears.

One woman, an accident?

Gu Mochen…

Was he implying that his relationship with the woman on the phone was Platonic?

All in all, when Jian Ran heard that Gu Mochen had only ever been with one woman, she was somewhat surprised.

After all…

The women of Quanyun City more or less all wanted to throw themselves at Gu Mochen.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mochen was so self-disciplined; at the age of thirty, a milestone year, he had been with so few women.

Considering a man of Gu Mochen’s identity and status, it wouldn’t be surprising if his life were surrounded by a bevy of beauties.

But since she had always feigned sleep to get by before, Jian Ran did the same this time, feigning somnolence.

Yet, within the covers, her small hand was clenched tight.

Sharing a blanket with Gu Mochen made her more or less nervous.

Seeing Jian Ran continue to feign sleep, Gu Mochen’s patience was nearly worn thin.

He extended his large hand, and with a swift motion, pulled Jian Ran into his embrace.

Jian Ran was pulled over by a strong force, her beautiful eyes widened subconsciously in surprise, and she saw the man’s handsome face magnified in front of her.

Jian Ran: “…”

Just as Jian Ran was about to struggle, she heard the man’s warning voice rise beside her ear.

“Don’t move, otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do something.”

Upon hearing the man’s warning, Jian Ran immediately stayed still.

Trembling, she was genuinely afraid that Gu Mochen would actually do something.

Gu Mochen looked pleased with Jian Ran’s reaction, his thin lips curving into a barely perceptible smile.

He arrogantly encircled the woman’s slender waist with his hand, his voice growing increasingly magnetic, resonant like a cello.

“Weren’t you asleep just now?”

Jian Ran’s scalp tingled under the man’s burning gaze, knowing she couldn’t hide anything from Gu Mochen.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, smiling insincerely as she spoke.

“Yes, and then someone woke me up.”

“Mr.

Gu, I’m not sure if you said something just now?

I apologize, but if you did, I was asleep and didn’t hear anything.”

Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran, who was blatantly lying with open eyes.

His long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, not annoyed in the slightest.

He leaned his head against Jian Ran’s shoulder and spoke softly.
