Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In front of the fountain, cold autumn, chilling wind, even while wearing a man’s suit jacket, it’s still bone-chilling cold. Gu Xiran’s face is pale and devoid of color, while Qin Jin earnestly responds to the confusion in the woman’s eyes, word by word.

"You heard right, I am indeed getting engaged. My future fiancée’s name is Song Le, someone you know, Tangtang. You should know my personality, I never joke, so I am serious."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Yes.

Qin Jin means what he says. The man never utters a single unnecessary word, so indeed, she didn’t hear wrong.

Ha...

Gu Xiran shakes her head at Qin Jin’s words, silently digesting what the man has said. After a long while, she presses her lips and speaks.

"Hmm, I understand..."

I understand...

Today, I’ve become a clown.

It’s truly a big joke.

Gu Xiran lowers her beautiful eyes. Tears glisten at the corner, falling to the ground, trying not to let Qin Jin see her crying. Although as a child, she would cry with grievances in front of Qin Jin.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiran forces the tears back from the corner of her eyes, squeezing a smile at the corner of her mouth, and looks up at the tall, handsome yet cold man before her.

"Tell me the reason, why are you getting engaged to Song Le."

Proud as she is, at this moment, she just wants a reason.

Qin Jin gazes deeply at the woman in front of him, unusual emotions surging in his dark eyes.

"What reasons are needed for an engagement, it’s nothing but love."

Gu Xiran: "..."

It kills without blood.

It’s truly a sharp blade ruthlessly stabbed into her chest.

Gu Xiran finds it hard to breathe from the pain.

Love?

Ah, damn it, Gu Xiran almost wanted to swear.

"Hmm."

Thinking back... Every time she wanted to see Qin Jin, Song Le would always find ways to tag along, even deliberately talking to Qin Jin.

At school, Song Le is indifferent to boys from ordinary families...

But whenever Qin Jin, Qin Song appeared, she seemed like a completely different person.

Yet, never has she seen Qin Jin have any feeling for Song Le, in fact, Qin Jin didn’t seem to like her being together with Song Le before.

Actually, she doesn’t want any association with Song Le, it’s just that Song Le always comes forward, and she finds it hard to refuse.

Could they have love?

Truly beat Gu Xiran to death, she still wouldn’t believe it.

...

Since the words have come to this point, Gu Xiran doesn’t want to say more, lips pressing, eyes red, like a little rabbit, very pitiful.

"Qin Jin, leave, I don’t want to see you..."

Sometimes, men are indeed crueller than women; Qin Jin gazes at the woman in front of him, presses his thin lips, and speaks: "Hmm, should I invite you to the engagement party?"

Qin Jin’s cold demeanor really makes Gu Xiran want to tear the man apart, what man would directly ask such a cruel question.

The two of them look at each other, contemplating each other’s thoughts; Gu Xiran can’t understand the depth in the man’s eyes.

Qin Jin gazes at the woman’s fake strength, lips pressed tightly.

Life depends on acting.

Gu Xiran’s lips curve into a bright smile, slowly takes off the Qin Jin jacket she’s wearing, and hands it to Qin Jin, speaking.

"Of course, I need to give a bit of money for the occasion, here, I’m returning your jacket... Thanks just now, I’m very warm now, don’t need it."

"Keep it."

Qin Jin does not raise his hand to take the jacket handed by Gu Xiran but puts his hand in his pocket.

"I’m leaving now... Tangtang, happy birthday."

Every birthday, though Qin Jin was always in the military unable to return, he would prepare a cake and personally arrange for it to be sent to the Gu Family.

This year, he made it back, yet delivered the most cruel words.

"By the way, Qin Song is a nice guy, you could consider."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Go...

Get lost.

She doesn’t need his birthday wishes.

Nor does she need his advice.

Gu Xiran’s heart is now full of anger towards Qin Jin, thinking about how cruel he can be, she’s even lost the ability to think.

Looking at the tears swirling in Gu Xiran’s eyes, Qin Jin presses lips, forcing himself to turn away from longing.

Qin Jin, hadn’t you told me to let go?

...

Watching the man’s broad back gradually move away from her, tears roll in Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes, almost ready to burst.
