Assistant to My Contracted Husband

During these twelve years, I’ve been living with this anticipation.

"Mommy, what are you talking about..."

"Sis, stop being all shy here. I haven’t seen you shy in years, but the moment Qin Jin shows up, you lose all your composure."

"Ah..."

Before Gu Jinchen could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his foot, as Gu Xiran stepped directly onto it.

"Gu Jinchen, if you don’t speak, no one will mistake you for a mute."

"Sis, you’re murdering your brother here..."

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen exchanged a glance and smiled wryly, the kids were just too energetic.

Sometimes, watching the siblings play around felt like life was filled with joy.

...

Time ticked by, and it was almost time for the banquet at eight.

Although Qin Jin hadn’t arrived yet, Gu Xiran firmly believed he definitely would.

Qin Jin is a man of his word. Once he says something, he always follows through.

Just like he said he would come...

He surely would.

Gu Xiran’s lips curved into a smile as she swirled the wine glass in her hand, sipping the juice inside. Daddy was worried that drinking would make her uncomfortable, so he specially switched it to low-sugar juice, which wouldn’t affect her diabetes.

Diabetes...

Gu Xiran narrowed her phoenix eyes. She had been taken good care of over these years, and her diabetes hadn’t acted up for many years. Although filming was quite arduous, her diet was strictly controlled by Mommy and her manager.

Qin Jin...

From today, you’re my boyfriend, did you know that?

Gu Xiran’s lips curved into a confident smile, her delicate features radiating with confidence.

...

"Sis, your guy’s here."

Gu Jinchen, though only twelve years old, was already about as tall as Gu Xiran. He leaned his tall body close to her and said teasingly.

Gu Xiran’s grip on the bar paused slightly, then tightened.

Yeah, he’s here.

...

Gu Xiran’s gaze wandered over, settling on the tall figure of Qin Jin. Her lips curled into a smile, and a flash of amazement flickered in her beautiful eyes.

The tailored suit perfectly highlighted his robust physique, and his chiseled features were strikingly handsome.

Gu Xiran couldn’t control her heart from pounding wildly.

Gu Xiran clenched her small hands, her lips curved upward.

Qin Jin was six years her senior, just twenty-four this year, yet he was already an important figure in the military region of a leader rank, mature and composed, undeniably charismatic.

His powerful aura was innate...once he appeared, it seemed like everyone was naturally drawn to him.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a smile as she gracefully stepped forward, like a fluttering butterfly.

Yeah, with his arrival, everyone else in the room became mere background.

...

Near the stage, Jian Ran and Gu Mochen felt helpless seeing this, but there was nothing they could do.

This Qin Family kid seemed to have bewitched Tang Bao, and over the years, her heart remained unchanged.

Even in the entertainment industry filled with Casanovas, Tang Bao still only had eyes for Qin Jin.

Encountering someone you adore, a lifelong devotion was destined from childhood.

Gu Mochen finished the wine in his glass in one gulp and resolutely said, "Alright, it’s no longer a requirement to wait until twenty-five to date, but marriage has to wait until after twenty-five. I still want Tang Bao to stay around a few more years."

Jian Ran chuckled helplessly, finding it amusing how Gu Mochen’s words seemed more childish as he aged.

Kids these days, how could they not fall in love?

Besides, with Tang Bao and Qin Jin, though unspoken, their years as childhood sweethearts said it all.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say..."

"That’s more like it."

Gu Mochen narrowed his deep and profound dark eyes, secretly pondering that this rascal shouldn’t think about taking his daughter away from him and Jian Ran just yet.

...

"Mr. Qin has arrived..."

"Wow...that’s rare to see. Everyone knows the Qin and Gu Families are close. Even though Qin Jin doesn’t attend many banquets, since it’s the eldest Miss Gu’s birthday, and they’ve grown up as childhood friends, he has to show up."

"Yes, indeed, he’s remarkable, such a young talent, a pillar of the Qin Family..."

"Isn’t he just? Old Master Qin was a founding hero, and the Qin Family later branched into politics and business...Qin Jin took over perfectly from his father Qin Sheng. Look at Yuncheng City, who dares provoke the Qin Family, who dares provoke Qin Jin?"

"Indeed, sigh..."

Gu Xiran walked step by step towards Qin Jin, clearly hearing the murmurs around, her lips curved into a smile.

Today, she intended to have Qin Jin fulfill his promise to her.
