Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the living room:

Gu Xiran never thought that there would be a day when she and Qin Jin would sit quietly, facing each other with nothing to say.

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Clearly, she had a thousand words in her heart she wanted to say to him...

Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

Well, unfortunately, it’s not the right time to speak now.

I don’t even know if there will be a chance to say these words in the current situation.

Finally, Qin Jin broke the silence, pursing his lips, and said, "It’s getting late, you should rest early."

"Okay."

Tang Bao nodded, forcing a smile at the corner of her lips, standing up, feeling a bit dizzy, and was quickly supported by Qin Jin.

"Be careful."

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded, looking at Qin Jin in front of her with beautiful eyes, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Brother Qin Jin, do you think love is more important, or family, or life?"

Qin Jin: "..."

This question, he had asked himself countless times before.

Now Tang Bao was asking him this question, undoubtedly because of Qin Song.

Qin Jin gazed at Tang Bao in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then softly parted his lips.

"This question, I’ve thought about it for a long time, and throughout, I’ve never had a clear answer."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Understood.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a bitter smile, sniffling.

"Then I’ll think about it some more..."

"Hmm."

"Brother Qin Jin, I want to hug you."

"Okay."

Qin Jin directly extended his large hand and wrapped Gu Xiran in his arms, raising his hand to soothe Gu Xiran’s back, calming the woman’s surging emotions.

"Tangtang, I’m sorry..."

Gu Xiran listened to Qin Jin’s constant murmurs of apologies by her ear, tears falling onto the man’s shoulder.

Don’t say sorry.

Don’t say it anymore...

The man’s embrace was as hot as always, and the breath pleasant to smell, but now it couldn’t be indulged in. Gu Xiran sniffled and willingly pushed away from the man’s embrace, then ran towards the bedroom.

Leaving Qin Jin standing alone in the living room.

The entire living room was extremely quiet, as if someone could hear a pin drop onto the floor.

Seeing the woman return to the bedroom, leaving him alone in the living room, Qin Jin slowly pulled out a red brocade box from his pants pocket, slowly opening it, revealing a diamond ring inside, shining brilliantly under the light.

This was the birthday gift he hadn’t given.

Qin Jin’s mouth lifted into a bittersweet smile...

He had once promised Gu Xiran that if she was still in love with him when she turned 18, he would become her boyfriend.

In his heart, he wasn’t content with just being Gu Xiran’s boyfriend anymore.

What he wanted was to be the woman’s husband.

So, when Gu Xiran turned 18, his original plan was to kneel down and propose to her in public.

Just a pity, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.

The ungiven diamond ring, Qin Jin’s gaze fell on the ring before him, slowly clenching his hand, putting the ring back into his pants pocket.

This ring, he always carried it with him.

Though Qin Jin now also doubted when he could finally give the ring away.

...

Because Qin Song disappeared, Gu Xiran barely slept through the night, plagued by nightmares, and incidentally dreaming of things from their childhood.

When Gu Xiran woke up startled, her back was covered in a cold sweat.

The end of her dream was Qin Song waving goodbye with her and Qin Jin, then disappearing.

Gu Xiran’s face was pallid as she gulped breaths, then took out her phone to call Qin Song, unexpectedly the call was answered.

Gu Xiran, straight to the point, asked: "Qin Song, where are you?"

"What, miss me?"

"You... where exactly are you, I want to meet you now."

Listening to the man’s frivolous words, Gu Xiran tried hard to calm down, then paced towards the living room to inform Qin Jin of the good news.

"Tang Bao, is it brother forcing you to find me... usually, you’re not this eager to find me."

Gu Xiran: "..."

"Relax, brother and I are just playing a game, I’ll be back in a few days, tell brother not to worry about me..."

Qin Song’s words seemed carefree, but in fact, they were much deeper than before.

Gu Xiran pursed her lips and said softly, "I’m also very worried about you, Qin Jin is so anxious to find you, it must be something big."

Walking into the living room, Gu Xiran and Qin Jin exchanged a glance, then Gu Xiran pointed at the phone in her hand, Qin Jin’s dark eyes lit up, immediately sending his assistant to trace the location.
