Chapter 2137 - 495: Exclusive Favor for One
If the whole truth really did come out, Jian Ran had no idea whether the little loli would be happy or sad.
Just thinking about it made Jian Ran’s head hurt even more.
This whole thing was actually getting harder and harder to handle.
...
The next day.
Jian Ran woke up earlier than the little loli and took the initiative to prepare a hearty breakfast for their family of five.
Jian Anguo liked tea, so Jian Ran even thoughtfully brewed him some...
The two kids had been exhausted yesterday, so they woke up pretty late. Gu Mochen directly put a diaper on Gu Jinchen and carried him over to Tang Bao’s bed.
The sibling duo got along amazingly well.
The two of them were cuddled up sleeping together—too cute for words.
The corners of Gu Mochen’s lips lifted a bit...
Actually, if you really looked closely at this brother and sister, they did resemble each other.
...
After Jian Ran finished making breakfast, she directly told Gu Mochen everything Tang Bao had said to her last night.
Hearing this, Gu Mochen’s dark eyes faintly knitted.
It wasn’t hard to tell that someone must have said something, which was why the little loli suddenly started thinking about this "biological or not" stuff, including the so‑called biological daddy.
Jian Ran hadn’t slept well all night, her beautiful eyes had stayed furrowed the whole time...
She was worried that when Tang Bao learned the truth, she wouldn’t accept Gu Mochen.
But matters between adults were things kids couldn’t understand.
Children’s thoughts were simple—they always imagined their bio dad was a big bad guy, or that he was dead.
That was why he would completely ignore them...
Anyway, it was an extremely tricky mess.
"Mo Chen, what do you think we should do?"
Hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen raised his hand and pulled the woman into his arms, speaking softly: "Mm, I’ll talk to her later, don’t worry."
"Okay."
With Gu Mochen’s firm reassurance, Jian Ran’s heart warmed. Unnamable emotions rolled around in her chest; she sniffed and said hoarsely,
"She’s the apple of our eye..."
One little mood swing from the Little Princess tugged at the hearts of the whole family.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t do well enough back then."
Gu Mochen kissed Jian Ran on the forehead. As for what happened back then—missing Tang Bao’s growth, missing her illness—
In short, these things would be Gu Mochen’s lifelong regret, something that would follow him for the rest of his life.
Jian Ran shook her head at that.
All of this had been the crap Dong Qin pulled back then; it really hadn’t had anything to do with Gu Mochen.
...
Once Jian Ran and Gu Mochen had sorted out their emotions, they went back to the kids’ room to wake the two of them up.
Jian Ran took charge of the little milk bun, while Gu Mochen was responsible for Tang Bao.
Little Cubao was woken up before he’d slept enough and instantly burst into loud, heartbroken wails, aggrieved to the extreme.
"Be good, Mommy’s got yummy food ready for Cubao... and a little beauty too..."
"Waaah..."
Gu Jinchen got even more upset.
"Ahem, and there’s Little Wanzi, your little sister. If Jinchen behaves, Mommy will take you to the Qin Family to play with Little Wanzi, okay?"
"Heehee..."
Under Jian Ran’s coaxing, Little Cubao gradually stopped crying, looking ridiculously cute.
Jian Ran couldn’t help rubbing her forehead and sighed, "They really are siblings—one got tamed by that brat Qin Jin, and the other got conquered by Little Wanzi."
"Qin Jin gege?"
Tang Bao was still half asleep, with Gu Mochen’s hand gently stroking her back. The moment she heard the words "Qin Jin," she immediately woke up in a daze.
She was downright sensitive to those two words: Qin Jin.
Jian Ran: "..."
Gu Mochen: "..."
All right then.
With a dark face, Gu Mochen coaxed her on purpose: "Mm, Qin Jin is still in the army..."
"Mm."
Tang Bao pouted her little lips, feeling a bit wronged, then suddenly broke into a big smile.
"Heehee, but Daddy is really handsome too, and you’re right here with me."
Being praised like that by his daughter instantly put Gu Mochen in a great mood.
Whose daughter was this, to be so considerate?
Gu Mochen narrowed his dark eyes, the corners of his lips curving up.
"Mm."
...
Watching the father and daughter basking in their own little bubble, Jian Ran said gently, "Okay, go wash up and then we’ll eat."
"Okay."
Gu Mochen dressed Tang Bao in a princess dress and carried her into the bathroom. After washing her up, he carried her again and sat her on a chair at the dining table.
The entire time, Tang Bao was being held.
Sometimes, when Jian Anguo saw how Gu Mochen always liked to carry Tang Bao, he was both helpless and understanding.
But he totally got it—a dad spoiling his own daughter. If his girl had to walk even one extra step, this dad couldn’t stand it.
So of course she had to be carried the whole way.
...
After breakfast.
Gu Mochen drove Tang Bao straight to the amusement park.
Jian Ran stayed home with Jian Anguo, taking care of Gu Jinchen.
Watching Gu Mochen go out alone with Tang Bao, Jian Anguo couldn’t help asking in confusion, "Ranran, why did Mo Chen take the child out by himself?"
