Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Gu Xiran clenched her small hands and slowly pursed her lips, saying, "Brother Qin Jin, I thought you understood my feelings..."

"All these years, we grew up together. When I was five, you went to the army... At six, you promised me that if I still liked you, you would be my boyfriend when I turned eighteen..."

Gu Xiran’s emotions fluctuated, her beautiful eyes glistening with moisture, and her voice became somewhat tremulous.

Qin Jin pressed his lips together, looking down at the woman in front of him, especially at the tears welling in her beautiful eyes, which pained his heart to the point he could hardly breathe.

"You’ve always been someone who keeps your promises, why?"

"Everyone else might think I was just joking, but you can’t..."

In the end, nearly shouting out her anger!

Gu Xiran’s nature was inherited from Jian Ran, poised and unhurried, able to be playful and cute, but also calm and logical, not pretentious when dealing with matters.

"Sorry, Tangtang, we’re not suitable for each other."

Years of waiting ended with the man’s words of incompatibility, and Gu Xiran felt like she heard the biggest joke of her life.

"Reason..."

"I don’t love you. The promise I made when we were kids, children’s words can’t be considered promises - just playful words."

"Tangtang, playful words can’t be promises."

Gu Xiran: "..."

The last words of Qin Jin echoed in her ears, so ruthless, a man’s heart is indeed cruel to say such cold words.

Without a hint of emotional fluctuation.

Ha...

Gu Xiran felt her sharp nails almost digging into her palms, but the pain in her palms was far less real than the pain in her heart.

"So, what you mean is, all along I’ve been unrequited?"

"Qin Jin, are you truly oblivious or just pretending? You clearly care about me, how could you suddenly change so decisively? Six years ago, when I fell off the cliff during an outdoor shoot, before the rescue team arrived, you were the one who came. In the freezing winter cold, you carried me out alone."

"You didn’t even care about your own life. People say that place is a Primeval Forest, desolate, with venomous snakes and beasts about, especially when nearing minus thirty degrees... Yet you disregarded it just to save me quickly."

"Sorry, I lied. Actually, it was Qin Song who carried you out then. At that time you were unconscious, knowing nothing... Later, when you woke up in the hospital, you saw me first, so wrongly thought I had saved you."

"Sorry, I never explained to you."

Gu Xiran: "..."

What?

Gu Xiran’s eyes flickered.

In the icy wilderness, desolate, lost with no return...

Could it not be him?

It’s impossible, it had to be him.

I couldn’t be wrong, intuition said it was him, my intuition has never been wrong... That familiar feeling, two people undressing in the icy wooden hut, holding each other for warmth...

It was him...

It definitely was him.

The scent of a person can never be mistaken.

Besides, it’s not as if Qin Song didn’t know - a playboy, always indulging in fun, though he doted on me and cared for me, his body certainly couldn’t bear such harsh conditions.

"Qin Jin, you’re lying!"

"Don’t joke with me in such childish ways."

"Qin Jin... if you keep this up, I’m really going to hate you."

Tang Bao’s anxious tears swirled in her eyes, the more Qin Jin said, the more troubled and upset Tang Bao felt.

"Tangtang, stop talking, I’m planning to get engaged to Song Le."

Tang Bao: "..."

Song Le?

Upon hearing Qin Jin say this, Gu Xiran repeatedly stepped back several steps, until there was nowhere left to retreat, before falling onto the steps.

What?

Qin Jin was going to get engaged, and the person wasn’t her...

Gu Xiran knew Song Le, during the time she was kidnapped by Han Siming, it was this girl who was the stand-in.

Back then, Gu Mochen and Jian Ran learnt of Han Siming’s kidnapping plan in advance, ensuring her safety by bringing in classmates from kindergarten, naturally ensuring their safety in advance.

After all, kidnapping someone else held no use for Han Siming, nor did it threaten Gu Mochen and Jian Ran, but kidnapping her would definitely make a huge impact.

In fact, Song Le wasn’t chosen by Gu Mochen, but volunteered by Mrs. Song, promising living expenses and tuition fees, claiming a hefty reward.

Even... they negotiated saying if Song Le died as a result, they’d demand a million.

Gu Mochen hesitated repeatedly but still agreed.

Gu Mochen wasn’t kind-hearted, with the Song’s self-recommendation, he pays a high reward to protect his own daughter, a fair deal with no ulterior motives, since, as parents, the most important thing is their child’s safety.

The outcome was good, Song Le was simply drugged unconscious and physically unharmed, although Mrs. Song took a very high reward, the Gu Family still felt indebted and rewarded her multiple times more, raising the Song Family to a well-off status.

It’s uncertain if it was fate, Tang Bao and Song Le graduated from the same kindergarten, followed each other through elementary, junior high, high school, and now together in the entertainment industry.

Although Song Le wasn’t bad to me, Gu Xiran always felt she wasn’t kind-hearted and didn’t quite like her.

Yet over the years, Mrs. Song has always schemed against the Gu Family, occasionally asking for money, Gu Mochen doesn’t mind small gains and always agrees.

Curiously, Song Le originally looked like her mother, but grew up to increasingly resemble Gu Xiran, once they were even suspected by the media of having had plastic surgery, so Song Le was often compared with Gu Xiran.

But Song Le’s conduct and character were lacking, such as bullying new actors or behaving arrogantly, her acting skills were harshly criticized by the media.

So everyone said Song Le was a stand-in for Gu Xiran.

But Gu Xiran didn’t mind, since back then Song Le indeed protected her amidst danger.

Song Le often sought rewards as repayment for past favors, asking for minor roles, earlier on Gu Xiran would help introduce her, but over time, arrogance, lack of skill, frequent bullying, Gu Xiran started refusing.

After all, back then she was only five years old, honestly speaking of favors, if anything, Song Le was sold out by Mrs. Song under high remuneration...

However...

What was hardest to accept now was Qin Jin suddenly saying he’s going to marry Song Le.

Impossible...

Gu Xiran felt she needed Qin Jin to give her an explanation.
