38: Chapter 38 Tang Bao Needs an Uncle (2)_1
“Mommy, isn’t my new little brother a good catch?”
“Mm, yes, our Tang Bao is the best…”
Jian Ran lovingly pecked at the little one’s tender cheeks, feeling a twinge of heartache seeing Tang Bao so happy.
It was her fault that Tang Bao lacked a father.
Recalling the tearing agony of that night, Jian Ran’s face turned pale, her small hand clenched tighter, but now, it no longer mattered who that man was.
…
Tang Bao had always only had Jian Ran for company, and now with Qin Mu joining them, they looked like a family of three wherever they went, Tang Bao couldn’t stop showing off.
Jian Ran took it all to heart, watching Qin Mu holding Tang Bao, her beautiful eyes filled with mixed feelings.
…
After finishing their ordered meal, Qin Mu played with Tang Bao in the children’s playground.
By the time they headed home, Tang Bao had fallen asleep in Qin Mu’s arms.
Jian Ran was in charge of driving, letting Qin Mu hold the child.
Tang Bao was growing by the day, and it was actually a bit difficult for her to hold him, but Qin Mu did it with ease.
Once home, Qin Mu laid the child directly on the bed, while Jian Ran simply cleaned Tang Bao’s hands and changed him into pajamas.
Stepping out of the room, she saw Qin Mu with a rascally smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
“Ran girl, I’ve bought the apartment above yours.
We’re neighbors now, so stop avoiding me…”
Jian Ran met Qin Mu’s carefree dark eyes, tainted with a rogue’s charm but utterly down-to-earth.
“Besides, doesn’t Tang girl also need an uncle, right?”
Jian Ran’s heart trembled at his words, her small hand clenched.
“Qin Mu, I’ve never felt like I owed anyone anything, you’re the first.”
“Then it’s an honor for me, Qin Mu.”
After saying that, Qin Mu’s large hand affectionately ruffled Jian Ran’s hair, then said towards the door, “Call me if you need anything, I’ll be there within a minute.
And if Ran girl needs it, I can even do sleepover gigs.”
No sooner had Jian Ran been moved by the man’s tender words than she laughed out loud at his carefree comment, and then threw a sofa cushion at him.
“Get lost.”
…
Jian Ran had initially thought the annual meeting would just involve a discussion on the first day.
When she arrived at the design department the next day, she found everyone comparing jewelry and dresses for the banquet.
All were from top international designer brands, incredibly expensive.
Jian Ran just hooked up the corner of her lips lightly, her gaze concentrated on the design drafts in her hands.
Once selected, the reward would be substantial…
Seeing Jian Ran burying herself in work like this, a colleague couldn’t help asking, “Jian Ran, the annual meeting is tomorrow, what mask and dress are you planning to wear?”
“I haven’t started preparing yet.”
“You’d better hurry up, this isn’t just any annual meeting.
Gu Mochen is already taken, no use hoping there, but there are still many eligible bachelors in the company.”
Jian Ran plastered a small smile on her lips: “Mm.”
…
During lunch break, the phone on the desk rang.
Without thinking, Jian Ran picked it up.
“Mo Chen, I haven’t made lunch today, planning to eat biscuits.”
She implied they should eat separately.
“I’m in my office waiting for you.
You have 3 minutes.”
Beep beep beep.
Jian Ran: “…”
…
At 2 minutes and 58 seconds, Jian Ran knocked on Gu Mochen’s office door.
The man was gracefully sitting at his desk, his long fingers tapping on the surface.
His gaze shifted from the clock and settled on the woman before him, his dark eyes narrowing slightly and the corners of his mouth curving into a smile.
“Coincidentally, I’ve prepared two servings of takeout from Blue Sky Building.”
Jian Ran was in disarray.
