Chapter 60 - Mr

Gu’s Heroic Rescue Private Room:

Jian Ran pretended to be drunk because when drunk, one could do anything, and it was impossible to reason with a drunkard.

“General Manager Cui, I’m a bit drunk, how about you sign the contract first, and after that…

we can be more comfortable, what do you say?”

Jian Ran narrowed her eyes, making her gaze more hazy, as if she was lost in the drunken haze.

General Manager Cui thought carefully, believing that Jian Ran was indeed too drunk to function, and chuckled lewdly, “Okay, let’s sign the contract first, and tonight, I’ll show you what I can do.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Shameless.

Jian Ran watched with satisfaction as General Manager Cui signed the document, she curled up the corners of her lips, and tucked the papers into her bag—bonus secured.

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a sneer, looking at General Manager Cui’s lecherous appearance, she coquettishly said, “Stop it.”

Having said that, Jian Ran raised her hand and poured the red wine and the food in front of her directly onto General Manager Cui, creating a mess with greasy stains everywhere, which was extremely disgusting.

Seeing this, Jian Ran satisfiedly curled her lips.

“I…

didn’t do it on purpose…

General Manager Cui…

Please take care of that, I’m going to the restroom to touch up my makeup, I’ll be back soon.”

Having said that, Jian Ran batted her beautiful eyes, pretending to be harmless.

This kind of behavior further ignited the carnal desires of men.

As expected, although General Manager Cui was irate, he still managed to speak.

“Alright, alright, my beauty, I’ll wait for you.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Wait for you my ass.

Jian Ran left the private room contentedly, under General Manager Cui’s expectant gaze, and turned to enter the restroom.

Although she had prepared beforehand, the glass of wine had indeed made her a bit tipsy.

Washing her cheeks with cold water helped her sober up a bit.

Exiting the restroom without paying attention, Jian Ran directly bumped into the man in front of her.

“Sorry!”

Since it was her own blind spot, Jian Ran was the first to apologize and looked up at the man in front of her, freezing in place.

The man was dressed in a handmade white suit, which made him look very refined, his every move exuding the demeanor of a courteous gentleman, followed by an assistant.

Jian Ran felt her blood run in reverse, meeting the man’s complex gaze, as if she had returned to the past.

Back then, the man was youthful, and his black eyes were filled with a fervent love for her.

Now, time had changed, and Han Siming’s eyes were a mix of blame…

disappointment, yet they couldn’t hide the complexity of a long-awaited reunion.

Their gazes met in mid-air, stirring undercurrents.

Jian Ran clenched her small hand into a fist, trying hard to control her facial expression, but her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but tear up.

The childhood sweetheart is here, playing with green plums around the bed…

Unfortunately, defeated by reality.

Since Jian Anguo’s incident, it was destined that there would be no outcome between her and him.

“General Manager Han, are you okay?

What’s the matter with this woman, can’t she look where she’s going?

How dare she bump into you like that?”

Han Siming’s assistant, thinking that Han Siming might be hurt upon seeing their standoff, started to scold.

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran felt a choking sensation in her throat, unsure of what to say, while Han Siming’s cold voice spilled from his lips.

“It’s fine, let’s go.”

“Yes, General Manager Han.”

The assistant, initially wanting to shout, could only stop upon hearing Han Siming’s cold words.

The man seemed to have not seen her at all, walking straight past her and heading forward.

Jian Ran: “…”

When we met again, were we the most familiar strangers?

Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her lips, suppressing the myriad of emotions welling up within her, oblivious to the man behind her whose footsteps had slowed as he was leaving.

Jian Ran, when you left me without looking back, you were so heartless.

And I had sworn that when I saw you again, I’d walk away without a glance, nonchalantly, but I couldn’t do it.

I was desperate to ask you how you were, why you chose money over our love then…

A sneer curled at Han Siming’s lips.

During the four years he had spent in America, he had imagined countless times the circumstances under which he would meet Jian Ran again upon his return to China.

He never expected…

It would be at the bathroom door of a hotel, just around a corner…

Gently turning shattered my dreams, all the sentiments of the past were for naught.

The first thing she said to me was an apology…

Jian Ran, you really are ruthless.

It wasn’t until she could no longer hear the footsteps of the man behind her that Jian Ran’s tears burst forth.

Emotions she couldn’t quite articulate churned within her heart.

Perhaps it was a mourning for the youth she and Han Siming had lost.

To love or not to love…

after having Tang Bao, it all seemed less important.

She now lived only for Tang Bao and Jian Anguo.

After a while, Jian Ran sniffed her nose and then stood up again, only to see President Cui desperately approaching her, grabbing her wrist in one swift motion.

“Jian Ran, why were you gone for so long?

Why are you crying?

What the hell, you aren’t drunk, are you playing me?”

Jian Ran’s complexion was now normal, not at all like that of someone who was drunk.

President Cui, who had been waiting in the private room for a long time, came out to find her and instantly understood, becoming even more furious.

Jian Ran: “…”

It’s over.

Jian Ran inwardly cried out in alarm…

“Damn it, I don’t care, tonight, you have to keep me company…

I’ve even signed an expensive contract.”

Having said that, President Cui eagerly reached out with his large hand to grasp Jian Ran’s small hand, dragging her towards the direction of the private room.

In Totem, those who came here were all influential figures; seeing such a disregard for consent, the waitstaff watched helplessly, not daring to intervene.

Jian Ran struggled to break free from the man’s grip, but he clung on tightly and wouldn’t let go.

“President Cui, if you don’t let go, I’m calling the police.”

“Hmph, Lan Xing already said you’ve been slept with by thousands, what’s one more with me?

Me sleeping with you is an honor for you.”

Jian Ran was pushed toward the private room by President Cui.

At the critical moment, she was suddenly pulled into a protective embrace by a domineering force.

“Gu Mochen…”

Jian Ran lifted her gaze to the man in front of her and froze.

Under the light, the man’s features were as perfectly sculpted as if chiseled from stone, exuding a distant and unspeakable aristocratic air, looking down upon the world.

Gu Mochen’s brows furrowed at his dark eyes, seeing Jian Ran cry for the first time, appearing panicked, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Are you alright?”

Listening to the man’s deep and magnetic voice, Jian Ran forgot to answer, remaining dazed for a moment before shaking her head.

Gu Mochen’s piercing gaze swept toward President Cui, who was burning with lust in front of him, a sneer forming on his lips.

“Secretary Zhou, take care of this.

By tomorrow, I don’t want to hear that Guohao exists in Yuncheng City anymore.”

“Yes, President Gu.”

Jian Ran: “…”
