Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Inside Sky City Cafe:

Gu Xiran had been holding her coffee cup for quite a while, and her small hand started to feel stiff.

What did she say...

Gu Xiran began to digest it herself.

Yet Song Le’s words lingered like a spell, refusing to leave her mind.

Among the Qin Family’s two brothers, one is destined to die for you, and one is destined to leave you.

Qin Song likes her...

Gu Xiran was somewhat stunned, wondering why she had never known.

Didn’t Qin Song always have someone he liked? But the girl didn’t like him; she liked someone else, although she wasn’t sure how true this was.

Qin Song also had many girlfriends, always changing them.

So many times, she didn’t know if what he said was true or false.

Gu Xiran: "..."

Suddenly, Gu Xiran matched the girl Qin Song used to talk about with herself, her face turning pale.

If indeed the woman Qin Song mentioned matched her, there was no doubt it fit.

Could it be that Qin Song deeply loved her... Only because she loved Qin Jin, he couldn’t confess all these years?

...

Song Le was greatly enjoying this moment, watching Gu Xiran’s face turn pale, feeling only smugness.

What he wanted was to provoke Gu Xiran, watching her in agony, and the more painful Gu Xiran felt, the happier he was inside.

"Gu Xiran, this world is indeed fair. Look at how triumphant you were before; today you’re just as embarrassing and painful... Do you now feel your heart being cut like a knife, hahaha..."

"Song Le, you should... know the price of lying to me."

Gu Xiran’s voice trembled, fiercely painful emotions intertwined in her heart. Knowing there was a high chance Song Le’s words were true, she still couldn’t help but struggle for a final confirmation.

"Gu Xiran, I’m not lying to you, this is the reality."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Her face turned even paler, with pain swirling in her heart, and the taste of blood churned in her chest.

"Well, about the lawsuit you promised, I’ll arrange for Sister Ping to solve it."

After speaking, Gu Xiran took out a hundred-yuan bill from her bag, placing it on the table as the payment and tip. She stood up tremblingly, speaking difficultly.

"If I hear what you told me today from anyone else, then, Song Le... you know what the consequences are... Especially the Qin Family, don’t let them know anything."

Gu Xiran’s eyes were very clear, radiating waves of coldness, causing Song Le to shiver involuntarily.

"I... I got it."

"Good."

Gu Xiran nodded, then her gaze left Song Le and quickly walked towards the cafe’s entrance.

Now, what she had to do was protect the Qin Family, not letting them be disturbed by this matter. If Old Master Qin’s health was played with, it would be unthinkable.

Gu Xiran bit her lip and directly dialed Qin Jin’s number.

"Where are you now? I need to ask you something."

Unusually straightforward, Gu Xiran’s directness made Qin Jin purse his thin lips, answering: "Where are you? I’ll come to find you."

"Then I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Yuncheng University."

"Okay, I’ll be there soon."

Seeing Gu Xiran’s emotional state, Qin Jin furrowed his dark eyes and quickly set aside what he was doing to hurry over.

...

Not long after Gu Xiran arrived at the cafe, Qin Jin got there too. Sitting in the corner, Gu Xiran held the coffee cup, somewhat dazed. Seeing Gu Xiran’s pale face, Qin Jin’s expression tightened.

"What’s wrong?"

Hearing Qin Jin’s voice, Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes reddened, filled with tears, as she bit her lip and slowly raised her eyes to look.

"Tell me honestly, has Qin Song... had health issues?"

Gu Xiran tightened her small hand seriously asking.

"Brother Qin Jin, don’t hide it from me..."

Qin Jin: "..."

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on Gu Xiran’s tearful eyes, and after a long time, he did not deny it.

"Yes, there are some minor issues."

Gu Xiran: "..."

It’s not minor at all, is it?

Complex emotions intertwined in Gu Xiran’s heart, tears overflowing from her eyes as she looked up at Qin Jin, sounding hoarse: "Brother Qin Jin, tell me, he won’t die, right? He won’t leave me, right?"

Upon seeing Qin Jin walk towards her, Gu Xiran clung to him like grasping a lifeline, tightly clutching his sleeve without letting go.

Qin Jin could feel Gu Xiran’s strength; her nails almost sinking into his palm.

Slowly, Qin Jin stretched out his large hand to hold Gu Xiran’s small hand, then gently unclenched her grip.
