There is a room on the first floor for you, it’s the best guest room we have.” “Alright, then we won’t disturb you any longer. Elder Qin, Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, have a good rest.” “Certainly, Mr. Gu.” Jian Ran had only just realized that she and Gu Mochen were going to stay in the same room, so she was still processing this fact. Her face turned pale at hearing what Gu Mochen said. “Elder Qin, Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, good night.” “Good night, Mrs. Gu.” “Hmm.” Gu Mochen looked deep into Jian Ran’s eyes, then extended his large hand and took hold of the woman’s small hand, following the servant’s guidance toward the guest room on the first floor. Jian Ran’s palms were sweaty with nervousness. Sharing a room with Gu Mochen. That would inevitably mean… There would be danger upon danger. What should she do? How to guard against the wolf? Jian Ran took a deep breath; she hadn’t forgotten that the night before, she had almost been forcefully taken by the man in the car. Now… What to do? … “Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, this is the room where you will be staying tonight.” After showing Jian Ran and Gu Mochen to the guest room, the servant continued respectfully. “If you need anything, just let us know.” “Okay.” Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Gu Mochen responded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the entire guest room. The room was very clean. There was a separate bathroom and lavatory. The sofa and the bed’s supplies were all freshly tidied. It was evident that the Qin Family had replaced everything with new items. The overall effect was quite satisfactory. Gu Mochen’s lips pursed slightly before he asked directly, “What do you think?” Jian Ran: “…” What did he mean by what do I think? She didn’t think it was all that great at all. Jian Ran looked at the man in front of her with irritation, then quickly walked toward the window. Her gaze landed on the thick snowfall outside, and her expression tensed. With the snow falling so heavily… She and Gu Mochen really had no way to go back home. She also wondered if Qin Mu was okay going to the neighborhood by himself. “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t wanted to have tea with Elder Qin, we wouldn’t have had to stay here in the first place…” Jian Ran turned to the man in front of her, her annoyance clear, but after speaking, her little face turned involuntarily red, as if she was on guard against the man in front of her as one would be against a wolf. Gu Mochen’s lips tilted ever so slightly as he said calmly, “Elder Qin invited us to stay for tea, and indeed, I couldn’t refuse.” “Moreover… the very reason Elder Qin asked us to stay for tea was because Qin Mu offended me at the dinner table. He was making amends.” Jian Ran: “…” Gu Mochen didn’t mention it, and Jian Ran hadn’t noticed. Hearing the man say this, Jian Ran’s gaze shifted away unnaturally. Indeed… Qin Mu had continuously provoked through the dinner, making both the Qin Family and herself extremely nervous. Yet, with Gu Mochen unfazed, others simply could not discern his thoughts. That’s why Elder Qin went out of his way to keep Gu Mochen for tea, so he could apologize properly. Just now when the two of them were tasting tea, they would both intentionally or unintentionally bring up the cooperation between the Gu Family and Dongheng International. The Elder Mr. Qin also seemed to be hoping to determine through establishing the cooperative relationship whether Gu Mochen was truly angry or not. Such is the caring heart of parents the world over… Jian Ran found herself at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing where to start, feeling even the air in the room become thin although it was a large suite and she was alone with Gu Mochen. Soon, Jian Ran’s face turned a shade of crimson, somewhat flushed and embarrassed. “Then I’ll sleep on the couch tonight,” she said. Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran’s eagerness to distance herself from him, his thin lips pursed with an air of unchallengeable authority. “No… sleep on the bed. You’ll catch a cold,” he said. Jian Ran: “…” Alone with a man, was she really going to share a bed with Gu Mochen? Jian Ran quickly shook her head. “No, I can’t.” Gu Mochen: “…” Gu Mochen watched as Jian Ran shook her head quite resolutely, then he pressed his lips together. “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you,” he assured her. Jian Ran: “…” Listening to the man’s certain tone, Jian Ran hesitated for a moment, staring at his exquisite, handsome face, gulping down her saliva. “Men, when their hormones surge, often become beasts, no longer rational human beings… The words you said earlier hold no credibility,” she said. “So, I should just sleep on the couch,” she insisted. Gu Mochen: “…” Shit! In Yuncheng City, there were plenty of women who sought to climb into his bed, lying in wait for an opportunity, yet it was Jian Ran who was guarding against him as if he were a wolf. Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed again, with no intention to entangle further with Jian Ran, he spoke up. “I’m going to take a shower first,” he said. “Okay,” she replied. Jian Ran watched as Gu Mochen loosened his tie, her hands clenched tightly, somewhat trembling, and only after she was sure Gu Mochen had entered the bathroom did she let out a slight sigh of relief. Her phone rang once more, a message from Qin Mu. Dear Ran, I’ve arrived home. Tang Bao is sleeping. Don’t worry, I will take good care of our little Tang Bao. Remember, guard against the wolf. Jian Ran: “…” Her heart, which had been a bit tense, relaxed slightly after knowing Qin Mu had safely arrived at the residential complex. Soon, Jian Ran heard the sound of the shower and quickly replied to Qin Mu’s message. Alright, Brother Qin, thanks a lot. Before long, Jian Ran received a reply from Qin Mu. It’s nothing, who let me be Tang Bao’s awesome uncle. Seeing the word “uncle” in the message, Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered. Uncle… She suddenly felt a lump in her throat. The extent of Qin Mu’s efforts was truly touching. Jian Ran wondered what she had done to deserve such treatment from Qin Mu. Jian Ran curled her lips into a slight smile, sniffled, and forced back the moisture in her eyes. Now that Tang Bao’s issue was resolved, she should think about how to guard against the wolf… Right, the Gu Lang. There was only one blanket on the bed, indeed sleeping on the couch wasn’t an option, or else she would certainly catch a cold. So, what should she do? Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes showed a glint of contemplation, but before she could figure it out, the sound of the water in the bathroom stopped. Jian Ran’s body tensed up immediately.
