"I... I'm going to check on Tang Bao, I won't bother with you anymore."
"Hold on."
Gu Mochen watched Jian Ran's eagerness to leave, reaching out his large hand to clasp her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. His enticing words rang in her ear, very tempting.
"Mrs. Gu, when you were bringing up Mr. Gu's past, was it because... you've fallen in love with Mr. Gu? Hmm?"
Jian Ran's heartbeat thundered inexplicably due to Gu Mochen's magnetic words, and her little face turned even redder.

Back on the beach, Tang Bao had once asked her this question, and she chose to evade it.
Jian Ran clenched her little hand, looking at the man beside her and spoke unnaturally.
"Mr. Gu... isn't it somewhat lacking in a gentleman's demeanor to press a woman on whether she's fallen for you?"
"Sorry, it's just that this answer is very important to me."
Jian Ran: "..."
