Chapter 65 - Silently Scolding Him as a Beast While Wishing Him a Happy Valentine's Day

After seeing Han Siming’s special interview, Jian Ran intended to lock her phone screen, but her hand slipped and she clicked into it.A well-known financial program of Yuncheng City had done the special interview, Han Siming taking over the Han Family’s business…

With an overseas education background, and some achievements during his study abroad, his return to the country was naturally accompanied by media fanfare.

Jian Ran looked at the man’s refined photo, in a suit and leather, a stark contrast from the boy he was in her childhood, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

Actually, Han Siming’s dream was just like hers, to study design.

Not to go into business…

Realizing she was overthinking, Jian Ran carelessly ran her fingers through her hair, hmm, she should be more worried about what she would do with her bonus now that Guohao was gone.

That was what mattered most…

Also, there was another issue, what about this woman from Lan Xing?

Jian Ran squinted her beautiful eyes, she genuinely didn’t want to be her enemy, but that didn’t mean she could let her step all over her, acting wildly without restraint.

After Jian Ran arrived at the Gu Family’s company, the entire design department was discussing the overnight disappearance of Guohao from Yuncheng.

Since Jian Ran had just won the Guohao design project, and went out for business entertainment last night, some nosy people couldn’t help but come over and asked in a low voice.

“Jian Ran, weren’t you out for dinner with Manager Cui last night?

What happened that Guohao was acquired overnight?”

Jian Ran responded with a faint smile, “Not quite sure, it was probably targeted by someone.”

“I wonder who’s so capable, it’s amazing.”

“Yeah.”

Who else could it be?

Apart from Gu Mochen, who else could be so brazen?

Jian Ran bowed her head to deal with the files in her hand, only to see Lan Xing storming towards her in a fury.

“Jian Ran, what were you playing at yesterday?”

Jian Ran looked at Lan Xing, angry yet with a frightened look in her eyes, and her cold beautiful eyes swept across directly.

“Manager, forgive my dullness, I have no idea what you mean.

The dinner with Manager Cui last night, you and I went together.

You’re the head in charge and I’m just a regular employee in the design department.”

Jian Ran’s words were neither humble nor overbearing, no emotional fluctuations could be seen, but they were sharp and compelling.

Lan Xing’s heart trembled, “I…

What did you do exactly?”

Lan Xing couldn’t fathom Jian Ran’s thoughts, and felt very insecure.

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a mocking smile, nonchalantly she said, “Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about, Manager, I need to get back to work.”

Lan Xing left Jian Ran’s place with an embarrassed expression after being rebuffed.

Her plans had been flawless yesterday, it seemed, and yet somehow Jian Ran had slipped away.

And in all of Yuncheng, the only person who could make Guohao disappear overnight, the one who had the power to do it single-handedly, was Gu Mochen.

The thought made Lan Xing’s heart skip a beat.

Lunch break:

With a brave face, Jian Ran went up to the top floor, and knocked on Gu Mochen’s office door.

“Come in.”

Familiar with the territory, she walked straight in after pursing her lips.

The man’s kiss at Totem the night before was still fresh in her memory, and Jian Ran interlaced her hands, pushing those thoughts out of her mind.

“Mr.

Gu, I’m going to cook.”

Having said that, Jian Ran directly walked past Gu Mochen, who was in front of her, heading toward the resting room.

The man’s tall stature exuded an invisible pressure that weighed heavily on her.

The next moment, just when Jian Ran thought she would get past him, her wrist was firmly caught by the man.

“Jian Ran, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“Mr.

Gu, I got drunk last night.

I can’t remember anything I did or said.

I think you wouldn’t trouble me, right?

After all, I’m just a minor employee in the design department…”

As she spoke, Jian Ran’s lips curled into a beautifully charming smile.

Gu Mochen was her bread and butter, she couldn’t afford to offend him.

Gu Mochen’s eyes narrowed slightly, if he didn’t know that this little girl was probably cursing at him in her heart for being a beast.

He might have been bewitched by that charming smile already, Jian Ran was typically a case of a fox pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

“Really?

So, may I understand that you want me to help you recall what exactly we did last night at Guohao?”

As he said this, Gu Mochen’s hand lifted as if unintentionally, approaching Jian Ran’s fair cheek.

Jian Ran’s heartbeat accelerated due to Gu Mochen’s words, and the smile on her lips froze.

“No need, I think it’s good not to remember.

I’ll cook…”

Finishing her words, Jian Ran frantically shoved the man in front of her, struggling to free her slender wrist from his grasp and moved towards the direction of the resting room.

Gu Mochen’s lips curled up slightly, a pleased chuckle escaping from his thin lips.

When Jian Ran had finished preparing four dishes and a soup, Gu Mochen was reviewing documents on the sofa, the enticing fragrance of the meal wafting through the air.

A hint of unnoticeable warmth flitted across Gu Mochen’s eyes.

The two sat quietly at the dining table.

Jian Ran had little appetite and set down her chopsticks after a few bites.

Gu Mochen, on the other hand, appeared to have a very good appetite, which made Jian Ran feel somewhat disheartened.

Fortunately, the living expenses Gu Mochen provided monthly were quite decent, plus she now procured the ingredients and had claimed a sum of money for expenses.

Gu Mochen dined with elegance.

After finishing, he looked towards the woman in front of him, his lips curving up.

“The shrimp dish today is not bad.”

Jian Ran: “…”

Jian Ran lifted her eyes to meet the man’s inscrutable dark gaze, feeling her heart skip half a beat.

“Yeah, I’ll clean up the dishes.”

Right after she stood up, Secretary Zhou’s respectful voice was heard from outside the door.

“Mr.

Gu, Han Siming would like to meet with you, he’s inviting you to lunch…”

Upon hearing Secretary Zhou’s words, Jian Ran’s expression changed subtly.

Han Siming…

Gu Mochen…

Are they that close?

To even share a lunch together?
