43: Mrs.
Gu, It’s Up to You Now (2)_1
“ok!”
Jian Ran: “…”
As expected, Tang Bao didn’t take it well when she heard Qin Mu mention leaving the group.
Where else could she find such a handsome guy to be the vice leader?
The duo, one big and one small, used a combination of coaxing and tough tactics, and Jian Ran quickly gave in.
“Fine!
Just this once, and never again.”
“No problem!”
…
The next day at noon, it was indeed a servant’s nature.
Today, without any calls from Gu Mochen, when it was time for lunch break, Jian Ran arrived at Gu Mochen’s office carrying takeout boxes and a gift box.
Knocking and entering, the man’s lips curved into a pleased smile, his gaze moving away from the clock.
Jian Ran, very punctual.
Yeah, hungry.
“Mr.
Gu, your lunch.”
Jian Ran heated the lunch in advance and brought it over to Gu Mochen, pressing her lips together.
“Also, this, I cannot accept it, sorry.”
Having said that, Jian Ran placed the gift box she was holding in front of Gu Mochen who narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Reason.”
Gu Mochen leaned back, his lips curving up with a sharp edge as he casually scrutinized the woman before him.
Jian Ran stood up straight: “I am just a staff member in the design department, I cannot accept such a large favor from you, Mr.
Gu.”
Although she was an architect, this outfit was an award-winning piece, worth millions and extravagantly costly.
Gu Mochen looked at the woman before him with interest and countered, “Do you know why our company’s annual meeting is a masquerade ball?”
“I don’t understand, please enlighten me, Mr.
Gu.”
“Because every year at the annual meeting, Mrs.
Gu accompanies me.”
Jian Ran: “…”
So, because they wear masks, no one knows the true face of Mrs.
Gu.
Every year, Gu Mochen only needs to find a woman with a similar figure to make an appearance.
In this way, Mrs.
Gu does not constantly stay out of the public eye, but appears at the extremely crucial Gu Family annual meeting.
If it weren’t for the masquerade ball, Mrs.
Gu showing her face would make it impossible to hide the marriage with Gu Mochen that was in name only.
“So, Mr.
Gu, you mean…”
“That gown is prepared for Mrs.
Gu.”
Mrs.
Gu is Jian Ran, and Jian Ran is Mrs.
Gu.
Jian Ran’s face changed subtly, and she met the man’s deep, resolute eyes, which sent a numb feeling through her.
“If I attend as Mrs.
Gu, then won’t I be absent from the design department?”
“Don’t worry, your reason for absence will be legitimate; it won’t impact the bonus distribution.”
Gu Mochen’s deep gaze was unfathomable, his exquisite features and perfect contours exuding an innate superiority.
He was certain!
She would definitely wear this gown…
“Mr.
Gu, we had agreed that ours would be a marriage in name only, as strangers to one another.
What if someone accidentally discovers us at the annual meeting?”
Before Jian Ran could finish speaking, Gu Mochen’s tall frame had already risen from his seat, walking towards her direction, his large hand coming to rest on her delicate shoulders.
“It will depend on your capabilities then, Mrs.
Gu.”
The heat from his palm was scalding on her shoulder, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered, and in the next moment, the man’s magnetic voice rang in her ears.
“By the way, I forgot to remind you, at the ball, the two of us as a couple, and the stars of the banquet will undoubtedly have some impromptu interactions.”
Jian Ran: “…”
