Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Hmm, Gu Xiran actively steered the conversation towards careers, not forgetting her old profession as an actress.

The audience below spontaneously applauded in tribute, evidently treating it as a joke.

The Qin Family and Gu Family have been childhood friends, it’s perfectly normal to joke around.

Little did they know, Gu Mochen was already suppressing the fury in his heart, that Qin Jin, what a brat...

Seeing Gu Mochen’s tense and handsome face, knowing the man was thoroughly angry, Jian Ran pursed her lips and said, "Mo Chen, let’s wait for Qin Jin’s explanation."

Gu Jinchen also furrowed his brows and said, "Yes, Dad, you should give Brother Qin Jin a chance to explain."

"Hmm, but the chance is only once."

Gu Mochen said coldly, meaning if Qin Jin’s explanation this time is not satisfactory, then... he’ll make that brat pay.

Everyone has their own bottom line, and for Gu Mochen, Tang Bao is his bottom line.

Feeling the anger in Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran was startled, Qin Jin this kid certainly didn’t deceive herself.

His secret feelings for Tang Bao couldn’t be wrong.

Could he have some unspeakable difficulties?

Gu Jinchen was equally anxious, Brother Qin Jin was becoming increasingly inscrutable.

If he didn’t love sister, why would he remain pure all these years waiting for sister to grow up?

Moreover, although Brother Qin Jin seems aloof, he’s genuinely devoted to sister...

In the entertainment industry for so many years, even with Gu Mochen and Jian Ran’s protection, Brother Qin Jin has often encountered the need for military escort.

Just like before when sister was in Africa doing charity, helping impoverished children, she was kidnapped and harassed; these incidents were ones he bypassed Mom and Dad directly to inform Brother Qin Jin, and Brother Qin Jin always resolved them brilliantly. Whether Brother Qin Jin cares for sister, Gu Jinchen understood.

But today’s behavior was really incomprehensible.

...

On stage, Gu Xiran continuously maintained a graceful smile, appearing bright, elegant, and noble. Despite her facial expressions being tightly controlled, they could fall apart at any moment.

The host casually chatted with pleasantries, inviting fans on stage for activities, which Gu Xiran cooperatively participated in.

Gu Xiran has always had a good reputation within the circle for being considerate and unpretentious, always receiving praise from everyone.

After all interactions concluded, Gu Xiran struggled to descend from the stage on her ten-centimeter crystal heels. Before she left, she searched for Qin Jin in the crowd, the man was already gone.

...

After stepping down, Gu Xiran did not join Gu Mochen and Jian Ran but instead went alone to a corner, took out her phone from her bag, and dialed Qin Jin’s number.

"We need to talk."

"Hmm, I’m waiting for you by the fountain in the back garden."

"Okay."

Everyone is an adult, there’s no need to speak in circles.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a faint sneer; most importantly, Qin Jin is extremely adept at reading minds, knowing exactly what she is thinking.

It’s like, even though he had already left, when she called, he answered quickly and informed her of his exact location, clearly expecting her.

...

With late autumn approaching, there’s a bit of a chill outside. Gu Xiran only realized after leaving that she came out wearing her gown, without any coat.

But now clearly wasn’t the time to focus on that, she walked straight toward the fountain, where Qin Jin had been waiting for some time. Hearing Gu Xiran’s footsteps, he slowly turned around, noticed the woman’s bare shoulders, furrowed his brow, and quickly took off his coat and draped it over her, just like when they were children.

Such a familiar gesture.

Gu Xiran: "..."

As a child, she loved playing in the water, would splash water from ponds, purposely soaking Qin Jin. At those times, Qin Jin would furrow his brow and reprimand her, but afterward, seeing her drenched, he would still take off his coat and drape it over her.

She couldn’t recall how many times he’d covered her with his coat.

In short... many, many times.

Heh...

Gu Xiran really couldn’t imagine Qin Jin embarrassing her.

Earlier... he rejected her.

As the man draped his coat over her, the familiar scent filled her nostrils, the pleasant smell unique to him.
