Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 1985: Chapter 450: Missing My Husband (Part 2)

On usual days, it was always Gu Mochen who picked up and dropped off the little girl from school.

Jian Ran had almost forgotten how to navigate the route.

She would normally sit in the passenger seat, just responsible for resting.

If she sat in the back seat, she was only responsible for entertaining Little Cubao.

When Tang Bao saw Jian Ran coming to pick her up from school, she was extremely excited.

Even though it was summer vacation and there was no need to go to school, Tang Bao still enrolled in extracurricular classes based on her own preferences, doing things entirely according to her interests and hobbies.

"Mommy, why hasn’t Daddy come back today?"

After the family of four finished dinner, Tang Bao snuggled into Jian Ran’s arms on the sofa, asking in a sweet voice, while Little Cubao was held by Jian Anguo beside them.

"Because there was a sudden problem at the branch company in Europe, so Daddy had to go there to handle work."

Jian Ran explained quietly, under the soft yellow light, making her entire facial features appear exceptionally gentle and warm.

"Oh, I really miss Daddy. Will Mommy tell me a bedtime story tonight?"

"Daddy used to tell me all the time... Sigh, Qin Jin brother is going back to the Qin Family today. We couldn’t stop him."

Jian Ran: "..." frёeωebɳovel.com

Alright, when Qin Jin was around, the little girl almost didn’t need her and Gu Mochen.

Jian Ran looked at the little girl, smacking her little lips with a serious thinking expression, and raised her lips, speaking softly.

"Alright, Mommy will tell our Baobao a story later, okay?"

"Okay, I also want to listen to TF Boy’s songs and call Qin Jin brother..."

Seeing the little girl talking excitedly, Jian Ran couldn’t help but smile.

"Alright, whatever you say..."

"Hehe, but I still miss Daddy the most. I wonder if Daddy is busy right now?"

Calculating the time, he should have landed by now.

Jian Ran was worried that Gu Mochen was busy, so she didn’t want to call him. If it wasn’t for an absolutely tricky situation, they wouldn’t ask Gu Mochen to handle it personally.

Jian Ran furrowed her brows, unable to shake off the worry between her brows.

"When Daddy isn’t busy, he’ll call Mommy. Then Mommy will let Tang Bao listen, okay?"

"Hehe, okay... My little brother and I share a language, so I can translate what Daddy says to my little brother. Hehe, I can also translate my little brother’s words to Daddy."

Hearing this, Jian Ran raised her lips, then nodded, holding the little girl in her arms.

"Alright, Tang Bao the Little Princess, Mommy will take you for a bath, then put you to sleep."

"Yay... Goodbye, little brother, goodbye, grandpa, goodnight."

Tang Bao enthusiastically said goodbye to Jian Anguo and Gu Jinchen.

Jian Ran looked at Jian Anguo, who was taking care of Gu Jinchen, and said softly, "Dad, I’ll take care of Tang Bao first. After that, I’ll come down and give you a hand."

"Alright... No rush, I can manage Jinchen here by myself."

"Okay."

Seeing Tang Bao being carried away by Jian Ran, Jian Anguo couldn’t help but say, "Everyday, these tasks were all done by Mo Chen, now that Mo Chen is on a business trip, it also gives you a sense of how not easy it is daily."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran paused her steps, feeling inexplicably that Jian Anguo seemed to be praising Gu Mochen’s contributions.

The problem is... Gu Mochen’s contributions didn’t really need to be praised.

Indeed, the man did a lot.

Well, Gu Mochen had just left for less than eight hours, and it already felt... like life couldn’t function normally.

...

Jian Ran exhausted all her tricks to finally lull the little girl to sleep before tiptoeing back to the living room.

Tang Bao had just fallen asleep when Little Cubao seemed a bit uncomfortable and started fussing.

On usual days, Jian Anguo could coax him after a while, but today nothing seemed to work.

"Ranran, I think the child feels a bit warm. Could you check if he has a fever?"

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened, quickly reaching out to feel Little Cubao’s forehead after hearing Jian Anguo’s words, indeed noticing an unusually high temperature.

Jian Ran’s expression changed slightly.

"Dad, I think the child might have a fever. I’ll go get the thermometer."

"Okay."

...

Jian Ran quickly fetched the thermometer from the drawer and took Little Cubao’s temperature, narrowing her eyes.

"Dad, it’s 37.3 degrees."

"Ranran, for a child, that temperature indicates a fever. Quickly call the family doctor to come over. With the recent heavy rain, temperatures have been erratic, and it’s not uncommon for children to catch colds and fevers."
