Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2026: Chapter 465: Picking Fishbones for My Wife_3

...

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen had a brief moment of fun at the company and learned that a large number of domestic and international media were trying to chase down and interview Gu Mochen, so they had no choice but to head directly to the garage.

Once in the garage, they first had an assistant drive a luxury car to divert the media’s attention, taking the opportunity to leave.

Jian Ran looked at the mass of domestic and international media outside the Gu Family and couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Carlo withdrawing investment from France is definitely big news in international finance.

Jian Ran pursed her lips, not expecting that just before her wedding with Gu Mochen, they’d attract public attention again.

They had always wanted to keep it low-key, but it still sparked a heated national debate.

Fortunately, not only domestically but nearly all the citizens nationwide adopted a supportive attitude.

After all, local businesses impacting foreign enterprises is inherently a negative social phenomenon that must be strictly prohibited; how could it be encouraged?

...

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen drove straight to the dress shop, where they would choose between eight to twelve sets of outfits for the wedding. The design sketches had already been handed over to European and domestic craftsmen for handmade production.

That morning, when Gu Mochen came to welcome the bride, Jian Ran opted for a traditional Chinese bridal gown, bright red and rather classic.

She specially invited artisans from Suzhou and Yangzhou to embroider mandarin ducks and phoenixes, symbolizing a blissful union, on the dress.

At the dress shop, Jian Ran tried on the first set, which included a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robe.

For the first time in her life, Jian Ran wore a traditional Chinese wedding dress, and she couldn’t help but feel excited. With the help of the store staff, she quickly donned the wedding outfit, and to not affect the visual effect, they carefully placed the phoenix crown on her.

The exquisite gold embroidery, paired with delicate patterned buttons, left Jian Ran feeling somewhat dazed.

Upon stepping out of the fitting room, Gu Mochen had been waiting for quite some time.

Perhaps due to trying on wedding attire, Gu Mochen seemed a little nervous, which was a bit unlike his usual self.

Usually, Jian Ran tried on more evening dresses than anything else.

When Jian Ran appeared in front of him in full regalia, Gu Mochen was visibly stunned and instinctively put down the magazine he was holding as he slowly stood up.

Jian Ran felt a little nervous and softly asked, "How is it? Does it look nice? Is there any place that’s ill-fitting? It seems a bit bigger than the measurements I took earlier, might need to be adjusted smaller."

In recent times, while being busy with the Gu Family affairs and France’s issues, Jian Ran had lost a few pounds. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"No need, it’s beautiful."

Unlike the usual dresses, the traditional Chinese outfit highlighted Jian Ran’s elegance with its classical charm, making her look very beautiful.

Gu Mochen couldn’t take his eyes off her; he simply couldn’t bear to look away, maintaining a steady gaze at the beauty before him, reluctant to avert his eyes.

"Truly stunning." freeweɓnøvel.com

Jian Ran: "..."

No one ever compliments with "beautiful" after already saying "stunning."

Jian Ran’s cheeks turned a rosy red; beside her, even the store staff couldn’t help but say, "Miss Jian, oh... no, Mrs. Gu, you really look so beautiful, you don’t look like a new mom at all. This dress was specially designed with Carlo’s request for elegant Suzhou embroidery, delicate and lucid."

"And the outfit you’re wearing is stitched with gold and silver threads of different materials, making the floral patterns appear very three-dimensional and lifelike."

Jian Ran’s eyes fell on the stand-up collar and buttons on her dress, which were indeed crafted with exquisite craftsmanship. Even the collar was embroidered with peony patterns, giving off a sense of opulence.

Jian Ran nodded, and the store staff noticed Gu Mochen’s intense gaze on Jian Ran, wisely suggesting, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we’ll get back to work. If you’re satisfied, we can continue with the next outfit."

"Alright, thank you."

After the staff left, Jian Ran looked at the elegantly dressed woman in the mirror and still felt like she was floating; perhaps she truly felt different being a bride.

She used to think she and Gu Mochen, having both a son and daughter, made for a happy family, and life would gradually become as bland as water.

In reality, they truly were in love every day.

Gu Mochen stepped forward to gently embrace Jian Ran: "Mrs. Gu, you’re beautiful."

This was Gu Mochen’s third compliment of the day.

Jian Ran, her face blushing, softly said, "It’s just my outfit, what about yours?"

"It matches yours, a red suit, to wear in the morning when I come to fetch you. It’s made to my size, no need for a fitting, only yours needs trying on."

Jian Ran nodded as Gu Mochen pulled her gently into his arms, the seemingly endless happiness and sweetness were beyond words.

"Okay."

Enjoying the quiet moments of time meant only for the two of them, both had their phones on silent.

In an afternoon, Jian Ran tried on twelve different outfits, eventually settling on ten to be sent to the wedding venue.

Trying on dresses turned out to be physically demanding, and Jian Ran was exhausted by the time they returned to the Gu Family, where Jian Anguo had already brought the two kids back from the Qin Family.

Tang Bao excitedly rushed to Jian Ran upon her arrival, while Little Cubao in Jian Anguo’s arms babbled, clearly wanting his mommy to hold him.

The milk that Jian Ran had previously pumped had already been finished by the little one.

Jian Ran chuckled softly and went ahead to pick up Little Cubao into her arms.

"Dad, I’ll go feed the baby first."

"Alright, I’ll go help Mo Chen with dinner; you know how you’ve turned Mo Chen into such a cook, always whipping something up as soon as he gets back."

Jian Ran: "..."

Well, Jian Ran had long gotten used to being occasionally scolded by Jian Anguo for "bullying" Gu Mochen.

After feeding Little Cubao, Jian Ran helped Tang Bao try on a dress.

Though the little one was young, dressed in a purple princess dress, Tang Bao was simply adorable, and Jian Ran could already imagine the day when both Tang Bao and Cubao would be dressed in their little purple outfits, with Qin Jin looking dashing in his purple suit.

"Mommy... can’t wait to see you in a wedding dress,"

Both Tang Bao and Cubao snuggled in Jian Ran’s arms, speaking in their adorable young voices.

As the wedding day approached, Jian Ran was moved by Tang Bao’s words, silently echoing the anticipation within herself.
