Chapter 1196: Gu Ran's Allure and Gentleness

Lin Lang was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and shook his head helplessly: "You're so impatient! I have to give a speech at the Shanghai International Conference Center forum at 9:30!"

"Boss, you can send a clone!" Gu Ran pouted and whined, then slammed her foot on the gas pedal, speeding up the car considerably. Her tone was urgent and left no room for argument.

"I can't wait any longer! Today, I'm determined to get pregnant with your baby. I want to be a mom!"

Seeing Gu Ran's teary-eyed smile and expectant expression, Lin Lang couldn't bear to refuse. He sighed indulgently, "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say, okay? Let my clone take over the international forum meeting. Let's go make a baby right now."

Gu Ran's face lit up with joy, and tears welled up in her eyes again—tears of happiness.

She hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but couldn't stop the smile from creeping onto her lips. As she deftly turned the steering wheel to change lanes, she glanced at Lin Lang, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Great! I'm finally going to be a mom!"

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating her tearful, smiling face. Even the water droplets on her eyelashes sparkled, making her so radiant that it was impossible to look away.

Lin Lang felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this scene.

Looking back, although he hadn't mistreated Gu Ran financially or materially over the years, he had indeed wronged her in terms of status and raising their children.

After all, Gu Rou's twin daughters are already four years old, so it would be a lie to say that Gu Ran isn't envious or jealous.

Lin Lang snapped his fingers, summoning two invisible clones.

The first invisible clone went to attend the Xia Guo International Financial Forum in his place.

The second invisible clone went to the nearby vegetable market to buy groceries for him, and then went to Tong Lei's villa at noon to cook lunch, fulfilling his son Lin Haoze's wish to eat cola chicken wings.

The fiery red Cadillac XLR sports car sped along the asphalt road, its engine roaring with a hint of eager excitement, much like Gu Ran's mood in the driver's seat at that moment.

Sunlight streamed down through the convertible roof, making her reddened eyes and upturned lips appear even more radiant. The undried tears on her eyelashes reflected a shimmering light, making it impossible to tell whether they were a mixture of grievance and ecstasy.

Lin Lang sat sideways in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on Gu Ran's face.

Watching her grip the steering wheel firmly with one hand, and occasionally wipe away the tears that involuntarily streamed down her face with the other, while her lips curled into a wide grin, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing, deepened his sense of guilt.

"Drive slowly, safety first." Lin Lang reached out and gently placed his hand on Gu Ran's hand.

The warm, delicate touch made it clear that her fingertips were trembling slightly—the thrill of Gu Ran's long-suppressed expectations finally being met.

Gu Ran glanced at Lin Lang, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with a mixture of triumphant slyness and unbelievable tenderness: "What are you afraid of? It's worth running a red light to make a baby."

Despite her spoiled manner, she subconsciously eased off the accelerator, and the car's speed became much smoother.

Lin Lang chuckled softly, his fingertips gently stroking Gu Ran's hand: "What's the rush? We have a whole day to ourselves."

"Hmph, people have been waiting for five years!" Gu Ran pouted, her voice trembling slightly.

“I’ve been following you since I was 21. I watched my older sister get pregnant and give birth, and watched the members of the harem hold their children one after another and call you Father Emperor. I help you manage the company’s trivial matters every day, and I run between the Tang Dynasty and the modern era to maintain the harem.”

Halfway through her sentence, her voice was choked by a heavy nasal tone, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Over the years, Gu Ran has seemed carefree and capable, performing her roles as secretary and "harem steward" impeccably. But who knows how lonely she felt when she saw Lin Lang with a large number of wives, concubines, and children, while she herself had not yet become pregnant?

Who knew that she would secretly feel down for several days every time she got her period?

Lin Lang felt a pang of guilt when he saw Gu Ran's aggrieved look, and gently comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't feel bad, baby."

The sports car drove smoothly along the lane. Gu Ran sniffed and, while driving, said in a pitiful tone, "You're bad!"

Lin Lang couldn't help but smile after hearing this, his voice so gentle it could melt ice: "I neglected your feelings before. You've worked so hard all these years, I'll definitely share all my affection with you from now on, okay?"

Gu Ran glanced sideways at Lin Lang, her eyes brimming with tears and anticipation: "Really? You can't go back on your word!"

Lin Lang replied confidently, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

After hearing this, Gu Ran smiled sweetly, unable to hide her happiness, and said, "Okay, but even though I'm in my fertile period today, is it really possible for me to get pregnant?"

Lin Lang raised an eyebrow and said with a mischievous smile, "If your husband puts in a lot more effort in your bed today, I'll definitely make you a mother as you wish."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ran's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and even her ears turned bright red.

The grievances in her heart vanished instantly, leaving only sweetness and shyness.

"Yay! I'm going to be a mom too!"

Gu Ran chuckled at Lin Lang, then looked straight ahead, sat up straight, gripped the steering wheel, and stepped on the gas again. The sports car sped off like a red lightning bolt toward the nearby hotel.

It's easy to coax a woman who loves you.

The more a woman loves you, the easier she is to please.

Before long, Gu Ran drove the car slowly into the underground parking lot of the Shangri-La Hotel.

As soon as the sports car came to a stop in the parking space, Gu Ran retracted the hardtop convertible with a single button.

After unbuckling her seatbelt, Gu Ran leaned closer to Lin Lang and kissed him on the handsome cheek: "BOSS, I'm going to book a room now. I'll send you the room number via text message later."

Lin Lang whispered in Gu Ran's ear, "So eager?"

Gu Ran blushed and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Opportunity knocks but once."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to get out of the car first, straightened her haute couture secretary suit, and put her sunglasses back on to cover her bright and captivating almond-shaped eyes that were glistening with moisture.

With an irrepressible smile on her face, like a young girl about to go on a date, she hurried away in her high heels.

Lin Lang sat in the driver's seat, his gaze fixed on Gu Ran's departing figure. The soft touch of her kiss on his cheek still lingered on his fingertips, and the faint scent of her perfume lingered in his nostrils.

Gu Ran was wearing a well-tailored, moon-white haute couture secretary suit. The top was a fitted shirt that accentuated her slender waist.

Her bodycon mini skirt barely covered the top of her thighs, and the hem swayed gently with her steps, outlining a perfect curve.

What's most eye-catching are the flesh-colored stockings on her legs. The material is light and sheer, making her fair and shapely legs look even more delicate and firm. Under the light, they shimmer with a soft glow, perfectly matching the light pink stiletto heels on her feet.

She wore seven-centimeter high heels, but her steps were not at all restrained; instead, they were light and cheerful.

The heels tapped on the smooth parking lot floor, making a crisp "tap tap tap" sound, like a string of cheerful notes, or like tapping on Lin Lang's heart, each sound carrying an indescribable allure.

She didn't walk very fast, but her figure swayed gracefully, her waist and hips twisting slightly with each step, forming a captivating S-curve that added to her allure.

Gu Ran's long, black hair was casually tied back, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. With her movements, a few strands of hair by her temples swayed gently, adding a touch of languid charm.

She raised her hand to tidy the stray hairs by her ear, her fingertips tracing a graceful arc across her neck; even this unintentional little gesture exuded refinement.

Sunglasses covered most of her face, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips. Even her back view was tinged with a sweet joy, like a little cat that had finally gotten candy, eagerly and happily rushing towards its own sweetness.

Lin Lang had known Gu Ran for five years. She had always been a playful and adorable secretary, always impeccably groomed, professional, and poised.

But at this moment, from Gu Ran's back, Lin Lang saw that she had long since shed her naivety and coquettishness, and had gained a touch of charm and maturity. Her graceful figure and light, cheerful steps made her even more captivating than when she was a girl.

Lin Lang watched Gu Ran's figure walk further and further away, the sound of her high heels gradually fading until her figure disappeared at the elevator entrance. Only then did he slowly withdraw his gaze, his eyes surging with intense doting and passion.

Five years of waiting, five years of forbearance, this woman has accompanied him in the gentlest way, managing his harem and taking care of his career. Now, he is finally going to give her a special favor that belongs only to her.

If we were to say which of Lin Lang's women was most worthy of his love, Gu Ran would definitely rank very high.

It's not just because Gu Ran is Lin Lang's loyal secretary, but also because Gu Ran is the only one among all of Lin Lang's women who is purely devoted.

There are many women who love Lin Lang deeply, but among them, Gu Ran has given the most to Lin Lang over the past five years, more than all her wives and concubines combined.

Lin Lang always tells women, "You are the most worthwhile person in my life."

It wasn't until this moment that she realized Gu Ran was the one she truly deserved in this world.

A short while later, Lin Lang received a text message from Gu Ran.

After reading the text message, Lin Lang smiled meaningfully. He was going to give Gu Ran all his tenderness all day and make her the happiest woman in the world.

Meanwhile, Gu Ran was already in the bathroom of the presidential suite, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror at the sink. She wanted to show Lin Lang her most beautiful side.

"Hmph, you bad husband, you stinky husband, you made me cry and ruin my makeup!"

Using the [Lover's Gravity Instant Teleportation] skill, Lin Lang appeared in Gu Ran's hotel room in a flash.

The Shangri-La Presidential Suite is luxuriously decorated yet cozy, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the Huangpu River. Sunlight streams in through the huge windows, illuminating the room with warmth and brightness.

Gu Ran, who had just finished touching up her makeup and stepped out of the restroom, saw Lin Lang already standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite, looking down at the bustling streets of Shanghai with his back to her.

Lang Ge looks very handsome from behind in his suit; he's the kind of tall, muscular man with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and great legs.

Gu Ran, like a bird freed from its cage, pounced on Lin Lang in her sports car, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist from behind, and rubbed her cheek against his back.

"Boss, I really love you so much!" Gu Ran's voice was trembling with tears as she sincerely expressed her love to Lin Lang.

"Silly girl, I love you too!" Lin Lang slowly turned around and hugged the charming Gu Ran back.
