Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Sorry?

Gu Xiran was stunned by Qin Jin’s answer, thinking she had caught him off guard, after all, Qin Jin might be thin-skinned and didn’t expect her to confess her love in public.

In Gu Xiran’s worldview, liking is liking, never pretentious, otherwise she wouldn’t have been calling Qin Jin brother all the time.

However, Gu Xiran never expected the man to directly say sorry.

Men should never easily say sorry to a woman.

Once they say sorry...

It means the damage has already been done.

...

Qin Jin gazed into Gu Xiran’s trembling beautiful eyes, his thin lips pressed tight, and walked step by step towards the stage.

Gu Xiran just stared at the man’s body, clenched her little hands, her beautiful eyes quivering, trying hard to suppress the turbulent waves inside.

Hmm.

She gave him a chance to explain.

...

The spotlight kept chasing Qin Jin, moving with the man’s steps, as the crowd held their breath, the earlier apology really leaving everyone in a fog.

Shouldn’t it be a good thing coming?

Why did it suddenly become like this?

The Qin Family and Gu Family were even more confused, reasonably saying, Qin Jin should not be like this.

...

As Qin Jin stepped onto the stage, his commanding presence made people shiver with his aura.

Gu Xiran’s gaze remained fixed on the man, wanting to see what explanation he had for her.

As the man’s tall body approached, looking down from above, a sense of familiarity and oppression followed, Gu Xiran didn’t know why, but there was an ominous feeling, years of stage performance experience kept her standing gracefully on stage, dignified and elegant.

"Tangtang, don’t mess around, I know you don’t want to spread rumors or be tied up in hype, but there’s no need to pull a prank on your birthday."

The man’s voice was magnetic yet mixed with coldness, from outsiders’ perspective appeared indulgent, implicitly suggesting that what Gu Xiran just said was purely a joke.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes flickered.

Qin Jin was giving her a way out, so the question was whether she should take it or not?

Gu Xiran’s entire body trembled violently, biting down on her red lips with her teeth until it seemed like blood would spill, like she might bite through them.

How is it possible?

He knew she wasn’t joking or pranking.

She was serious.

When she used to shout about liking him, he would always indulgently pat her head and say, yeah, wait until you’re grown up.

Now...she was already 18.

Gu Xiran remained silent, Qin Jin squinted his dark eyes tighter, a hint of concern germinating and spreading in the depth of his eyes, yet he controlled it very well, making it hard for people to notice.

This time, Qin Jin didn’t speak indulgently to Tang Bao, but stood tall facing the crowd alongside Gu Xiran, pressed his lips together, "Tangtang and I grew up together as childhood friends; in my heart, she has always been my beloved sister. I hope in the future there will be a better man to love her and cherish her. Her joke and prank, let’s forgive it as part of her 18th birthday celebration."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran clenching her little hands, Qin Jin’s words were aimed at clearing their relationship but also helping her out, though in Gu Xiran’s view, there was a most important purpose in his words, telling her all this time it was just her wishful thinking.

Gu Xiran tugged at her lips, a flash of injured coldness reflected in her beautiful eyes, after a moment, she spoke: "Hmm, thank you Qin Jin brother."

Feeling a bit heartbroken and hurt inside, Gu Xiran still raised a bright smile to look at the crowd below the stage.

Even though at that moment, her heart inside was raining tears, nonetheless she handled the etiquette and upbringing well.

"Alright, I’ll admit it honestly, the birthday wish just now was a joke, and it’s Qin Jin brother who understands me. Actually, this year’s birthday wish is to win the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, because I believe an actor who can play a supporting role well is truly a good actor."

Saying this, Gu Xiran bowed to the audience below the stage.

"In the future, I hope to repay everyone’s love with more excellent works."
