Chapter 2004: Chapter 458: Continuing the Good Deed [Event Link] (2)
Jian Ran’s smile was radiant, like a pleasant spring breeze, making Gu Mochen’s heart flutter slightly.
"Okay."
Gu Mochen quickly washed his hands clean, then set the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.
Once Jian Ran brought the pot over, Gu Mochen took it from her with an eager hand.
"I’ll dish it out."
"Okay."
Jian Ran’s lips curled up as she looked at the steaming noodles, and watching Gu Mochen skillfully serve her a portion warmed her heart.
Tomato and egg noodles, perhaps, are the most ordinary home-cooked meal.
In a foreign land, after not seeing Gu Mochen for so long, just sitting face to face and sharing such a steaming bowl of egg noodles already felt blissful.
"Try it, I haven’t practiced my cooking skills in a while, not sure how it tastes."
"Okay."
Gu Mochen quickly took a big bite, his dark eyes flashed with approval.
"This is the best thing I’ve eaten in the nearly a week I’ve been here."
Even delicacies can’t compare to a woman’s bowl of egg noodles.
Hearing the man’s words, Jian Ran’s face flushed a little.
"Mmm, then eat more, there’s still some in the pot."
"Okay."
A quiet dinner.
Even though Jian Ran hadn’t eaten much for a long time, she only managed a bowl of noodles, but Gu Mochen ate three bowls in a row until the pot was emptied.
Knowing that the man hadn’t adjusted to outside food these days and seeing Gu Mochen so fond of eating, Jian Ran said softly, "Tomorrow I’ll cook for you myself, making breakfast, lunch... dinner, whatever you want to eat."
"Okay."
Even more than the delicious food she makes, what he really wants to taste is the little lady before him.
Gu Mochen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his dark eyes gleamed with a profound depth, exceedingly meaningful.
...
Jian Ran cooked the noodles, Gu Mochen washed the dishes, both had clearly defined tasks.
Once back in the room, Jian Ran fed Little Cubao again, and after playing around for a while, the little guy fell back asleep.
Jian Ran smiled as she watched the little one sleep so peacefully, tidying the sofa beside them and placing the little guy in the center.
This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about him moving around in the middle of the night.
...
"I’ve drawn the bath for you, go take a shower first."
"Mmm... okay."
Listening to his considerate words, Jian Ran quickly gathered her change of clothes and headed towards the bathroom.
Jian Ran was quite cautious as she passed Gu Mochen, whispering, "Behave yourself. If you try anything funny, our son is watching."
Gu Mochen curled his lips, looking disdainfully at the sleeping little one on the sofa, his thin lips curving into a teasing smile.
"Honey... the baby is asleep."
Jian Ran: "..."
That one word, ’honey,’ spoken in his devilishly charming voice.
Jian Ran’s face turned bright red almost instantly.
Jian Ran scrunched her nose, mumbling softly, "But our son will know if you do something naughty..."
A mother’s instinct, can’t be wrong.
Jian Ran’s eyes were filled with laughter, full of provocation.
She loved watching Gu Mochen lose utterly every time he ’fought’ with Little Cubao.
Especially when she thought of the man’s handsome face turning dark and sour earlier, Jian Ran couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.
Gu Mochen saw the challenge in her beautiful eyes, a slight smile forming on his thin lips. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Well, we can give it a try."
With that, Gu Mochen scooped Jian Ran into his arms and headed to the bathroom.
Jian Ran reached out her small hand to twist the man’s ear, speaking with feigned annoyance, "Rascal, let’s see how your son deals with you later on."
"If he dares to ruin my plans, I’ll just see to it that the Qin family doesn’t find him a wife... let Qin San give him a best buddy instead."
Jian Ran: "..."
So ruthless.
Jian Ran watching his confident, handsome face, felt her heart skip a beat.
Even though she used Little Cubao to scare Gu Mochen earlier, it was mainly in jest, and now, feeling the warmth of his body, her heart was filling with warmth.
Gu Mochen, on the other hand, held Jian Ran tightly in his arms.
How nice...
Without any little distractions.
Gu Mochen’s lips were full of smiles, while Jian Ran watched the brightness in his dark eyes and said with a smile.
"Gu Mochen... do you find it fun to compete with your son for women?"
"Of course... at night, you can only sleep with me, no cuddling him..."
"He’s so little... and just a son."
"He’s a little man."
Jian Ran: "..."
Alright then.
Jian Ran tried to suppress her slight distaste, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Mmm, but Tang Bao is already 5 years old... except for not bathing her, someone can’t bear to let go of Tang Bao from their arms, wanting to hug her every day..."
