Gu, You Seem Very Concerned About Other Men (1) Impromptu interaction?
Jian Ran couldnât grasp the deeper meaning in the manâs words, her beautiful eyes furrowed in thought.
As for a husband and wife, impromptu interactions were limited to those kinds of things.
Jian Ranâs scalp tingled alarmingly.
Jesus, what happened to being strangers in name only, having a marriage in name but not in substance?
While Jian Ran was entangled in her thoughts, Gu Mochen had already calmly taken his seat and began eating the delicious food Jian Ran had prepared.
âThe boiled shrimp were slightly undercooked, the sweet and sour carp was a bit too sweet, and the pork belly was somewhat overdone.
Improve next time.
Your living expenses for this month have already been deposited into your salary account,â he said.
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Shameless!
If you have the guts, donât eat it allâŚ
The fact proved that yesterday at the Blue Sky Building, Gu Mochen had barely touched his food, but today, he finished all the lunch Jian Ran had prepared.
Not only that, with her own appetite not quite there, Jian Ran had only eaten a few bites, and the remaining food was swept clean by the man.
âMr.
Gu, youâŚâ
Exchanging saliva, was Gu Mochenâs so-called germaphobia really no issue?
âFrugality is a virtue,â he said.
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Gu Mochen made too much sense for her to even attempt to refute.
After lunch, the gift box was left directly in Gu Mochenâs office.
Jian Ran took the lunchbox back with her and waited for Gu Mochen in the parking garage after work.
As soon as she returned to the office, to her surprise, Secretary Zhou had already announced tonightâs annual party leave list.
In the entire company, she was the only one on leave, absent from the event.
Jian Ran was internally wounded.
Listening to the whispering gossip of her colleagues, Jian Ranâs lips curved into a faint smile as she calmly spoke, âIâm sorry, I have some personal matters tonight.
I hope everyone has fun.â
âJian Ran, I think you donât really have personal matters,â Lan Xing said mockingly.
âYou just canât afford to buy a dressâŚ
youâre probably afraid of making a fool of yourself.â
Hearing Lan Xingâs jeering, Jian Ran responded with a faint smile.
Really, Lan Xing was a troublemaker for no reason.
Sure enough, following Lan Xingâs words, the others began to buzz even more.
Catching the opportune moment, Lan Xing continued, âAlas, Jian Ran, pardon my bluntness.
Arenât you and Qin Mu getting on like a house on fire?
In my opinionâŚ
for a man to buy a woman things, itâs just a matter of spreading oneâs legs, right?â
At this, Lan Xing laughed with ill-intent.
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Jian Ranâs lips tightened.
If a dog bit her, she didnât need to stoop to biting back.
Having been severely punished by her before, Lan Xing had stopped scheming and started showing off her linguistic bravado.
This woman really was stupid beyond help.
âThank you for the reminder, Manager.
Itâs an honor to be trusted by Qin Mu.
After all, thatâs something many women envy and cannot achieve.
Donât you think?â
If the other party wanted to label her, then sheâd wear it.
It was something countless people dreamed of.
If others wanted to be jealous, then let them be.
Lan Xingâs face changed slightly.
Qin Mu truly was Yunchengâs most eligible bachelor.
Now, only Jian Ran was in Qin Muâs good graces.
He sent a car to pick her up every day, and the way Qin Mu looked at Jian Ran was not with his usual nonchalance, but a tenderness so palpable it could drip water, which was astonishing to everyone and made them wonder about Jian Ranâs background.
With a graceful and nimble smile playing on her lips, Jian Ran continued.
âMoreoverâŚ
some women would love to throw themselves at him, but that doesnât mean he would be interested, especially when the man is already married.
Manager, donât you agree?
I heard Mrs.
Gu will be attending tonight as well.
You and Mrs.
Gu are so close, please give her my regards.â
