73: Chapter 73 Don’t Make a Fuss, Daughter-in-law (1)_1
On the bus:
The atmosphere was awkward, but Jian Ran was secretly thrilled, her lips twitching into a smile.
She leaned close to Gu Mochen’s side and teased, “Mr.
Gu, let me enlighten you with some basic knowledge.
To take the bus, you need to swipe a bus card or toss in a one-yuan coin.”
Jian Ran smiled brightly, humming to herself.
At critical times, a million yuan really couldn’t compare to one single yuan. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Gu Mochen also had his moments of embarrassment.
It wasn’t easy to see.
Gu Mochen: “…”
So that’s how it is.
He had never taken the bus before.
The driver and the other passengers glanced at the high-class cards in Gu Mochen’s wallet, cards they had never seen before, and instantly realized this man was of no small worth.
Jian Ran was fully expecting Gu Mochen to make a fool of himself and curled the corners of her lips in anticipation.
“Mr.
Gu, there’s a seat over there.
I’ll go sit first.”
She wanted to see for herself how Gu Mochen would handle the situation without a bus card or cash.
“Hold on.”
As Jian Ran started to walk away, Gu Mochen reached out with his large hand and grasped her slender wrist.
Confronted with the man’s seemingly smiling but mocking dark eyes, Jian Ran felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
“No card to swipe, so I can drop in a coin instead?”
Jian Ran: “…”
The driver, seeing Jian Ran’s silent demeanor, quickly said, “Yes, yes, just one yuan will do.”
Jian Ran’s egg-shaped face, unadorned by makeup, was breath-taking in its beauty.
Combined with her sweet smile, she appeared nothing short of ethereal.
“Sorry, I’ve got only one, and I’ve thrown it in.”
Gu Mochen watched with narrow eyes as he caught every bit of excitement and mischief in her beautiful eyes.
“Wife, stop messing around…
everyone is watching…
I’ve only got cards left in my wallet; all the cash is with you…”
Jian Ran: “…”
Wife?
Jian Ran’s scalp tingled because of Gu Mochen’s words; she hadn’t expected him to proclaim such a thing in public.
Facing the man’s handsome features that could enchant all onlookers, with his proud and deep contours.
“Gu Mochen, you…”
As these words came out, the driver and other passengers perked up and watched with great interest.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman—it was like watching an idol drama.
“Didn’t I just give you the living expenses the day before yesterday?”
“I…”
Jian Ran had no comeback; indeed, the living expenses had been given to her just two days ago.
But in the ears of the audience, it instantly took on a different flavor…
It sounded somewhat like an illicit affair.
“Don’t talk nonsense.
We agreed…
to be strangers…
in name only, without…”
“If you need it, I can call Secretary Zhou to bring over our marriage certificate.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran, faced with Gu Mochen’s earnest and calm dark eyes, deflated.
Gu Mochen, are you going to flash the certificate again?
“You…”
“Can’t you swipe a certificate for a meal, and not for the bus?”
Jian Ran was defeated.
…
After waiting for a long time, the driver and passengers, watching the two stand off, quickly said.
“Emma, are the young couple having a spat?
Young lady, your handsome guy is really something.
It’s quite common these days for a man to have little money in his wallet, but for one to have absolutely no cash, not even a single yuan to his name, that’s unique to your husband.”
Jian Ran: “…”
“He’s not…”
Jian Ran wanted to say he wasn’t, but it was clear he was.
Damn, this feeling, it really made her angry.
A nearby aunt couldn’t stand it either and advised, “Young lady, you should indeed keep an eye on your husband, but do you think you’ve overdone it?
This shouldn’t be.”
