Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Outside the examination room:

Gu Xiran was completely pinned against the wall by Qin Jin...

Gu Xiran closed her beautiful eyes, tears continually overflowing.

But Qin Jin felt it wasn’t enough and reached out with his large hand to tightly grip the woman’s waist.

From then on, until the end of time...

Gu Xiran reached out her small hand to tightly embrace the man’s waist, wanting only to indulge at this moment.

Soon, Gu Xiran detected something unusual around the man’s waist, something encased in a box.

After a long while, Qin Jin reluctantly released the woman before him, his dark eyes moist and filled with confusion...

Enjoying this quiet moment that belonged solely to the two of them.

"What is this?"

Gu Xiran, her eyes full of tears, looked at Qin Jin, and before the man could act faster, handed the ornamental box to Qin Jin.

Qin Jin’s expression changed slightly; it must have been just now when Gu Xiran embraced his waist that she got hold of it.

Gu Xiran met the man’s deep, cold dark eyes and spoke softly.

"Tell me, what is this?"

Qin Jin: "..."

The quieter Qin Jin was, the more seriously Gu Xiran questioned.

Finally, Qin Jin proactively reached out his large hand to hold the woman’s small hand.

"Don’t look at it."

"No, I want to see it."

Gu Xiran choked up, ready to open the ornamental box, but was held tighter by Qin Jin.

In their struggle, the ornamental box slipped from Gu Xiran’s hand and fell to the ground.

Accompanied by a crisp metallic sound, their gaze fell on a delicate diamond ring.

Gu Xiran: "..."

A diamond ring.

Did Qin Jin buy this for me?

Gu Xiran’s eyes reddened and she struggled out of the man’s arms, then walked to the diamond ring, slowly crouching down and taking it into her palm.

0722love.

Gu Xiran: "..."

The engraved number is her birthday.

Does this mean... this is a birthday gift Qin Jin prepared for her?

A diamond ring...

Gu Xiran looked at the diamond ring shining brightly under the light, pursed her lips and said: "Is this the birthday gift you planned to give me?"

Qin Jin didn’t speak, but he didn’t deny Gu Xiran’s question either.

"You were planning to propose to me at my birthday party, right?"

Qin Jin: "..."

Qin Jin looked at the woman before him with a complicated gaze, clenched his large hand, but ultimately didn’t deny.

"Yes."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran’s face grew paler, large tears continuously sliding from her eyes as she sniffled, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

Ah...

She had always thought Qin Jin hadn’t kept his promise.

Now it seems... Qin Jin wanted to keep his promise.

It’s just plans can’t keep up with changes.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled upward as she looked at the diamond ring in her hand, finding it beautiful, exquisite, and cherished.

More importantly, it was bought by Qin Jin for her.

"I understand now..."

Gu Xiran, her eyes red, looked at the man before her, clearly in love, yet unable to be together, truly the most painful thing in the world.

Gu Xiran fell into the chair, her whole body choking up, sniffing to calm her turbulent emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiran slowly spoke: "Song Le once told me, the two brothers of the Qin Family both love me, one destined to leave me, the other destined to die for me."

Paused, Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a mocking, self-deprecating smile.

"Brother Qin Jin, I now think what she said is very true..."

"I’m really a disaster star, you and Qin Song, one is truly destined to leave me, the other is truly destined to die for me. I don’t want this, I really don’t want this at all."

Gu Xiran choked up, her eyes red, tears continuously overflowing.

Ever since arriving in Paris, it always felt like there were endless tears in her eyes, as if trying to shed all the tears she had in her life.

Qin Jin gazed at the woman before him, his large hand clenched.

Qin Jin reached out his large hand to rest on Gu Xiran’s shoulder, gently embracing her.

"Qin Song won’t have any incident, and I won’t leave you either. You are here, my heart is here with you, I can’t go far away."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran listened to Qin Jin’s words, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Qin Jin then reached out his large hand, grasped the diamond ring in the woman’s hand, and finally spoke slowly: "This was originally prepared as an eighteen-year-old birthday gift for you, now, since you and Qin Song are getting married, let this ring be my wedding gift to you two. Otherwise, with your rushed marriage, these things surely can’t be bought in time."

After Qin Jin finished speaking, he held Gu Xiran’s small hand, gently opened her fair hand, then carefully placed the diamond ring in her palm, his eyes sincere.

Gu Xiran: "..."

The ring still had a slight chill, just enough for Gu Xiran to feel its temperature.

Tears fell onto her palm, landing precisely on the diamond ring, and Gu Xiran managed a faint smile, nodding.

"Alright..."

Better to forget each other in the world than to stay together in adversity...

Gu Xiran suddenly felt enlightened, lifting her lips into an extremely radiant smile, and finally said softly, "Qin Jin, thank you for loving me. It makes me feel that for over ten years, it hasn’t been a one-sided longing, there has been a response."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin gazed at the woman before him, pursed his lips, clenched his large hand, with veins standing out, showing the man’s consistently tense emotions.

...

As the two of them gazed into each other’s eyes, urgent calls from the doctor came from the examination room.

"The patient is vomiting blood extensively again; the situation is very bad... We need the family’s signature."

Qin Jin and Gu Xiran exchanged a glance, their expressions changed.

"I’m the patient’s brother; I’ll sign."

"Alright."

The doctor swiftly guided Qin Jin to sign the emergency consent form, looking somber.

"The patient’s stomach is severely failing. Moreover, because the stomach issues, other organs are also experiencing problems to different degrees. In short, the situation is not good, and we need to determine the surgery time as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Seeing Gu Xiran’s body falter slightly beside him, Qin Jin quickly extended his large hand to hold on to her arm.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes reddened, choking up, and finally said hoarsely, "Then please, doctor, make sure he remains safe."

"We can only try our best for that..."

The doctor hesitated before quickly heading towards the operating room.

With the doctor’s departure, Gu Xiran felt the surrounding atmosphere grow eerily cold again.

Seeing Gu Xiran’s pale face, Qin Jin swiftly pulled her into his embrace.

"Just rest for a bit; I’m here."

"No, I want to stay with you... We support each other..."

"Hmm."

...

The rescue lasted another four hours, and this time, after past experiences, Gu Xiran’s resilience improved somewhat.

At least, the tears had dried.

As Qin Song’s condition grew more dire, Gu Xiran became even more resolute in her thoughts and beliefs.

Marry Qin Song... Hold their wedding, fulfilling the man’s dream.

No matter... Whether he can come off the operating table.

...

Qin Song slept until ten the next morning, and Gu Xiran saw the man awaken, stepping forward softly, "How are you feeling? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

"It’s a bit strange for Tang Bao, who can be so fierce, to suddenly speak nice to me."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Still as casual as ever.

Though clearly in bad shape, looking pale and weak, yet he’s teasing her here.

Gu Xiran forced back the moisture in her beautiful eyes, choking on tears, and seriously said, "Really... Qin Song, if you don’t get better soon, I’ll definitely hit you."

After speaking, Gu Xiran raised the ribbon on her wrist.

"This ribbon was put on by you personally yesterday... No going back, Qin Jin has already arranged for the wedding."

Qin Song: "..."

As Gu Xiran waved the ribbon on her wrist, the diamonds on it sparkled brilliantly, Qin Song’s dark eyes flickered slightly.

These diamond lights seemed to illuminate his entire field of vision, making him a bit dizzy.

He wanted to sink in, immerse... And never struggle to come out.

"Tang Bao, are you really sure about this?"

Seeing Qin Song’s uncertainty in his repeated questioning, Gu Xiran smiled and nodded solemnly.

"Of course... I’ve thought it through, Qin Song... You’ve made a promise, and can’t take it back, otherwise I’ll hit you."

Qin Song let out a silent laugh. After a long time, he slowly extended his large hand to hold her small hand, kissing it at his lips.

"Fine, I promise you... I’ll never go back on it, I’m not worried about myself reneging; I’m just worried that you’ll regret it later and feel aggrieved."

Hearing Qin Song’s words, Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but fill with tears.

"Hmm."

"My brother and I have always hated to see you sad and crying; it’s even harder to bear your regret and grievances... I want to give you warmth and happiness for a lifetime."

Gu Xiran felt like she’d met a fool today, a big fool.

Gu Xiran choked back tears, watching the man seriously kiss the back of her hand, speaking softly.

"So... Keep living, whether it’s for me or Qin Jin..."

"Alright."

Qin Song pushed back the moisture in the corner of his eyes, raising his gaze to Gu Xiran in front of him, seriously saying, "Once the wedding is over, let’s have the surgery... I want to enter the operating room with the joy of newlyweds."

Seeing the determination in his dark eyes, Gu Xiran nodded.

"Alright."

A thousand words, I’m entrusting you to come out alive.

Seeing Gu Xiran’s tearful look, Qin Song slowly reached out his large hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, choking up.

"Don’t cry anymore; every time you cry, my heart breaks."

Actually... What Qin Song also wanted to say, was that when Tang Bao cries, his brother’s heart also aches miserably.
