Assistant to My Contracted Husband

years later:

At the banquet, glasses clink, and the elites of Yuncheng are gathered here.

Today is the eighteenth birthday party of the Gu Family’s eldest daughter, Gu Xiran.

Gu Xiran, synonymous with privilege.

A socialite of elegance...

The apple of Gu Mochen’s eye and his pride.

At the age of 5, she began appearing in public service advertisements. At 6, she was mentored by the national acting maestro Li Wen.

Clearly someone who could rely on her looks, Gu Xiran chose instead to rely on her acting skills, refusing any commercial blockbusters without quality scripts or directors.

Over the years, Gu Xiran has consistently participated in art films or high-quality commercial films, gaining famed recognition both domestically and internationally.

More than ten years ago, the Gu Family acquired the Tangren Film & TV Company all at once, paving the way for Gu Xiran.

To give their daughter the best, Gu Mochen and Jian Ran didn’t care at all about what others thought of them.

There was no preferential treatment given to their daughter. Even after entering Tangren, all of Gu Xiran’s commercial opportunities were obtained through her own abilities.

The reason for acquiring Tangren was simply because they were familiar with it, to ensure their daughter’s safety, and to provide her with protection.

Everyone in Yuncheng knows that Gu Mochen is determined to pamper his precious daughter to the heavens.

Besides being the head of the design department, Jian Ran also takes on multiple roles as Gu Xiran’s manager.

The entertainment industry is a mix of good and bad, and Gu Mochen and Jian Ran are aware that Tang Bao entered the industry not for fame, but purely out of interest.

Gu Xiran has lived up to expectations, winning numerous awards both domestically and internationally over the years, becoming the perfect goddess in the hearts of many otaku men.

Year after year, Gu Mochen and Jian Ran meticulously prepared the most significant birthday gifts for Gu Xiran’s birthday party, not only that, they would also hold a grand banquet.

After all, they had to fulfill the wishes of the fans.

This year’s coming of age ceremony is especially grand, not only were all the elites of Yuncheng present, but stars from the entertainment industry gathered to celebrate the Little Princess’s birthday.

...

As people were talking, someone suddenly said, "Miss Gu has arrived," and immediately everyone’s gaze unconsciously turned toward the entrance of the hall.

Gu Xiran, wearing a goose yellow evening gown and ten-centimeter crystal high heels, made her way in elegantly.

Her long hair was up, with delicately applied makeup, she was simply stunning.

Gu Xiran wore no luxurious gown, only a wrist corsage on her left wrist, making her appear playful and charming.

The woman’s lips carried a self-assured, radiant smile, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. As she gracefully approached, everyone’s gaze involuntarily focused on her, unable to look away.

Gu Mochen and Jian Ran stood near the stage, their lips curling upwards as they gazed at Gu Xiran’s beautiful figure.

A daughter of the Gu Family is growing up.

Gu Jinchen stood in front of Jian Ran wearing a khaki tailcoat, matching Gu Xiran’s refinement.

The brother and sister shone as brightly as the scorching sun.

Gu Xiran looked very beautiful today.

Undeniably...

No wonder, whose sister is she after all.

...

"Daddy, Mommy, sorry I’m late, the film crew had a scene I wasn’t satisfied with, so we shot it several times over."

Saying this, Gu Xiran stuck out her tongue. She had just been noble and elegant in front of the crowd, yet she turned into a little girl when she reached Jian Ran and Gu Mochen.

"If you’re tired, go rest in the VIP room on the second floor. I’ll call you when the party starts."

Gu Mochen doted on his only precious daughter, almost without restraint in his affection.

"No need, it’s my birthday party today, everyone’s watching... Daddy, don’t worry."

Gu Xiran’s smile was sweet as she hooked her arm around Gu Mochen’s, and leaned in to give Jian Ran a peck on the cheek.

Gu Mochen and Jian Ran had taken great care of themselves, looking barely in their early thirties. Especially when Jian Ran, Gu Xiran, and Gu Jinchen went out together, they were often mistaken for sisters or siblings.

Jian Ran’s lips curled upwards, as she looked at the bright hope and brilliance in Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes, she pursed her lips and said.

"Mo Chen, can’t you see the thoughts of this precious daughter? None of the attendees here are her type, she’s waiting for that brat from the Qin Family... who supposedly is coming from the army today specially for this."

Gu Mochen understood.

So that’s how it is.

Gu Mochen felt indignant.

He went to great lengths to throw a big birthday party for the Little Princess, only to find out the one she really wants to see is someone else.

Gu Xiran blushed.

Mmm, Qin Jin brother promised her before he left for the army that when she turned eighteen, he’d be her boyfriend.
