Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Shut up."

Gu Xiran glanced over with a look of disdain, feeling tears rolling in her eyes, and wiped them messily on Gu Jinchen’s coat.

"Um, I’ll buy you a new one later. By the way... I heard you’re starting an internet company. Dad and Mom said they wouldn’t support you and wanted you to make it on your own, but I’m not that kind of person... I dropped a three-million-dollar check in your study as your start-up fund."

Gu Jinchen’s eyes showed an uncontrollable emotion.

"Sis..."

"Yes, you’re right, it’s a loan."

Gu Jinchen: "..."

Alright.

Gu Xiran’s knack for being sneaky is unparalleled, even compared to her mom.

Over the years, Gu Jinchen has "suffered greatly" but to no avail. After all, Gu Xiran is the cherished jewel of Gu Mochen; no matter what she says or does, Gu Mochen fully supports her.

The backing is too strong.

Seeing Gu Jinchen’s defeated look, Gu Xiran smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister believes in you, so, later, remember to pay back the three million with interest... Not a penny less... Actually, Sister just considers this an investment, to see how much my three million can grow into."

"Well, or if the three million isn’t enough, just say the word, and Sister can give you a bit more... But you know, all these years, Mom’s been the manager... most of Sister’s money is with Mom, and the rest is just pocket money for me..."

Gu Jinchen: "..."

Alright.

Gu Jinchen still remembers when he was young, often arranged by Jian Ran to perform in various commercial shows before age five, to liven things up for his sister... and earned some hefty fees.

This money, Jian Ran claimed for herself, saying it was on behalf of her underage child.

Squinting his dark eyes, Gu Jinchen raised an eyebrow and said, "Sis, you’re an adult, why not ask Mom to give it back to you...?"

"Actually, Sister, my payment when I was little got snatched by Mom... can’t get it back. Otherwise, why would I need your sponsorship?"

"You brat, trying to incite rebellion, huh?"

Just as Gu Jinchen finished speaking, he heard Jian Ran’s angry voice from not far away. Looking up, he saw Jian Ran walking concernedly toward the fountain, holding Gu Mochen’s arm.

Gu Jinchen: "..."

It’s over.

Gu Xiran chuckled, finally showing a smile.

It looks like Gu Jinchen really got put in his place...

...

"Gu Jinchen, you ungrateful child, didn’t Mom save your money so you could use it to find a wife?"

"Mom, I’m so handsome, I don’t need it, right? Besides, Jiu Jiu... doesn’t require much. Our Jiu Jiu is easy to look after."

Dodging Jian Ran’s raised hand, Gu Jinchen couldn’t help but retort.

"You brat, you know nothing; is the money for marrying a wife only for Jiujiu? Of course, it’s for your uncle. He has quite the appetite... Let me tell you, not just anyone can marry his daughter..."

Jian Ran really tells it like it is.

Gu Jinchen: "..."

Alright.

In recent years, he’s increasingly felt his uncle’s hostility towards him.

Hmm...

Quite risky.

Gu Xiran laughed again; Mom is just too adorable.

Always so adorable, this young girl...

Gu Xiran sniffed and picked up Qin Jin’s coat from the ground, using her free hand to hold Jian Ran’s arm.

Seeing Jian Ran and Gu Mochen coming over, Gu Xiran knew they were worried about her, so they came out to check.

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry I made you worry."

"Yes, really worried, worried you might ask me to increase your monthly allowance."

Jian Ran deliberately misinterpreted Gu Xiran’s words; after so many years, she didn’t want to follow Gu Xiran’s lead, leaving Gu Xiran upset.

"Mom, you actually haven’t even spent the monthly money you give me; I have plenty saved up, no need to increase it for now..."

"Alright, by the way, Mom got you a new movie recently, not bad, it’s a palace drama... Tang Bao, you can give it a try; the script and director are both great, the director personally visited the Gu Family several times, hoping you could clear your schedule at the end of the year."

Listening to Jian Ran, Gu Xiran pondered for a moment.

"Well, I’ll take some time to look at the script. I always act in too many student dramas, and in palace dramas, it’s always the young roles, so trying works with bigger spans could be interesting."

When Gu Xiran gets into work, she’s serious at once.

Jian Ran sighed slightly in relief, seeing her little girl was fine, feeling at ease; otherwise, both she and Gu Mochen would be uneasy.

"Okay."

...

Seeing Gu Mochen left on the side, Gu Xiran proactively took the man’s arm, charmingly pouting.

"Dad, don’t be mad at Brother Qin Jin, he’s just playing around with me."

"Hmm?"

"Dad... You’re a grown-up, don’t hold grudges against him... okay? Don’t keep that stern face..."

"Hmm."

Gu Mochen patted Gu Xiran’s shoulder, everything understood without words.

"If he doesn’t treat you well, I won’t let him have an easy time."

"Dad, don’t worry, your daughter’s judgment of people can’t be wrong."

"Hmm, but you can only get married after you’re 25... For now, barely allowed to date."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Alright.

Why does it feel like this is the main point?

Gu Xiran couldn’t help but laugh, her cheeks blushing along.

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you... is that enough?"

For now, Qin Jin and she aren’t even at that point, indeed some things are too early.

...

Gu Xiran’s birthday party caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry, with all gifts donated to charity, caring for children with diabetes.

Everyone knows Gu Xiran isn’t putting on a show and is aware of her health condition, so they highly admire the little girl’s actions.

Actually, there are many things she needs to ask Qin Jin, but Gu Xiran didn’t, instead finding her agent Sister Ping the next day.

Jian Ran handles the major work, while the daily life and simple shoots are managed by Sister Ping, who has been managing Gu Xiran for ten years, an ace agent in the country.

Tangren prepared a separate lounge for Gu Xiran for her convenience when she returns to the company.

Inside the lounge:

"Tang Bao, what do you need from me?"

Sister Ping, dressed in professional attire, entered directly asking straightforwardly.

Having raised Tang Bao, she naturally follows Gu Mochen and Jian Ran in calling her Tang Bao.

"Sister Ping, I want to shoot an idol drama... uh, passionate scenes too..."

Sister Ping seemed bewildered, not understanding Gu Xiran’s intentions.

Seeing Sister Ping’s puzzled look, Gu Xiran softly said, "Sister Ping, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

The reason is nothing more than to show someone.

The so-called passionate scene is always just a gimmick. Normally, before shooting, they release it so that when broadcast, stating, "Oh, it didn’t pass censorship, so we had to painfully cut it," and so on.

In short...

A detour.

A provocation.
