Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Mm... I promise you, he will be okay."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes turned red. Listening to Qin Jin’s words, she laughed lightly, like a child.

"As long as he’s okay, as long as he’s okay... I was really worried something might happen to him... I’m so scared..."

Gu Xiran was slowly embraced by Qin Jin. She extended her small hands to wrap around the man’s waist, choking on her sobs as hot tears overflowed from her eyes.

"Don’t let anything happen..."

"Mm, it won’t."

Qin Jin raised his hand and tightly held Gu Xiran in his arms, pressing his lips together and asking, "Who told you?"

"Song Le."

Gu Xiran choked as she mentioned Song Le’s name. Qin Jin narrowed his deep black eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

...

Gu Xiran had been holding her emotions in check, only to fully release them upon seeing Qin Jin. Tears continuously overflowed from her eyes.

After a long time, Gu Xiran finally managed to stabilize her emotions and spoke hoarsely, "Where is he now? I want to see him."

"Mm, regarding his condition, I’ll explain on the way. As of now, there are two treatment plans: conservative treatment or surgery..."

"Okay."

Gu Xiran nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and followed in Qin Jin’s footsteps. Seeing Gu Xiran walking unsteadily, Qin Jin raised his hand to hold Gu Xiran’s small hand, intertwining their fingers, and then pulled Gu Xiran into his embrace.

"Lean on me as we walk."

"Mm."

Gu Xiran nodded, leaning against Qin Jin’s chest, barely standing, trying not to feel so miserable.

...

Sitting in the passenger seat of Qin Jin’s car, Gu Xiran even forgot to fasten her seatbelt.

Qin Jin fastened Gu Xiran’s seatbelt and then started the car.

"I’ve arranged for Qin Song to stay at a private hospital. His stomach has developed cancer, and with conservative treatment, it can only slow down the progression."

"If he undergoes surgery, there’s a high chance of complications on the operating table."

Gu Xiran: "..."

So, either option is quite difficult.

Gu Xiran bit her lip, watching Qin Jin intently as he drove. She pressed her lips together and asked, "Should we opt for surgery?"

"Mm, but Qin Song’s survival instinct isn’t very strong right now."

Hearing this, Gu Xiran nodded, realizing that sometimes Qin Song seemed immersed in his own world.

"So, back then, you wanted me to be with Qin Song to strengthen his will to survive?"

"That’s right."

Qin Jin nodded, his deep gaze resting on Gu Xiran, filled with complexity.

After a long time, Qin Jin slowly spoke, "Tang Bao, Qin Song has loved you for many years."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Gu Xiran’s face turned pale as she heard Qin Jin’s words. She reached out her small hand to hug her own arm, trying to soothe the coldness emanating from her heart.

"I never knew..."

"I’m sorry."

"I’m sorry..."

Gu Xiran’s eyes reddened as she murmured to herself.

I’m sorry...

I’m sorry.

She never knew about this. Why did Qin Song act so foolishly—clearly fond of her but never saying anything.

Always acting carefree and nonchalant, seeming to wander among the flowers, yet in reality... loving her.

Gu Xiran laughed softly, as tears continuously overflowed from her eyes.

Qin Jin stared at the woman beside him, pressing his thin lips together, and slowly spoke.

"Stop crying."

"Mm."

Gu Xiran sniffed, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke hoarsely.

"Does the Qin Family know?"

"For now, only I know."

Gu Xiran nodded, understanding the immense pressure Qin Jin was under, bearing Qin Song’s condition alone.

Gu Xiran’s gaze fell on Qin Jin beside her, she pressed her lips together and asked, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier..."

"He didn’t want to make you sad."

"Neither of us wanted to make you sad."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Hearing Qin Jin’s words, Gu Xiran’s face turned even paler.

The two brothers of the Qin Family both liked you, one destined to die for you, the other destined to leave you.

This underlying meaning, she understood.

...

When Gu Xiran and Qin Jin arrived at the private hospital, they saw a nurse running towards Qin Jin in a hurry.

"Not good, Mr. Qin, Young Master Qin is missing."

Qin Jin’s face changed slightly; the nurse continued, panting heavily, "When I went to the ward just now, I discovered he was missing. He needs his IV injection... I don’t know where he went... I’m so anxious."

"Mr. Qin, what should we do?"

Qin Jin’s expression tightened, pressing his thin lips together, "Send people to lock down the entire hospital, and have others check the surveillance footage."

"Understood, Mr. Qin."

The nurse dared not delay and immediately busied herself in the security room.

Gu Xiran’s face turned pale as well, instinctively taking out her phone to call Qin Song.

Pick up the phone!

Qin Song, pick up the phone.

Tears welled up in Gu Xiran’s eyes, seemingly never-ending.

Persistently calling Qin Song, finally, after three minutes, Qin Song answered the phone.

"Little Tangbao, what’s up?"

"Qin Song, where are you now?"

Gu Xiran practically shouted this question.

Qin Song’s lips curled into a devilish smile, and after a while, he slowly said, "Didn’t I tell you before? I’m getting ready to leave..."

Leave here...

Don’t want to show this side to everyone.

Hearing this, Gu Xiran hurriedly said, "Don’t... go, don’t go, Qin Song, where are you now? I want to find you."

Hearing Gu Xiran’s sobbing tone, Qin Song frowned.

"Why are you crying? Tang Bao..."

"I’m not crying, I just want to see you now, want you not to leave..."

"It’s too late, I’m about to board the plane. I’ll call you when I get off the plane."

With that, Qin Song composed his emotions and then disconnected the call.

Beep... beep... beep...

Gu Xiran: "..."

Listening to the disconnected call, Gu Xiran bit her lip, exclaiming.

"Qin Song!"

"I just sent someone to track his location; he’s at the airport now."

Qin Jin said coldly; Gu Xiran dared not delay and quickly said, "Let’s go there right away."

"Mm."
