Assistant to My Contracted Husband

After leaving the Qin Family, Qin Jin received a call from Song Le and furrowed his dark brows.

"Master Qin, Tang Bao still hasn’t called to question me about our engagement."

The woman’s voice was soft and carried a hint of expectation, sounding almost coquettish and seductive.

"Hmm."

The engagement between Qin Jin and Song Le was just a ruse for Gu Xiran. After all, there really wasn’t any woman around him, and the only one both he and Tang Bao knew was Song Le.

The terms were simple: the engagement was merely proposed, and there would be no actual actions taken in the future, only to make others believe it.

Though Song Le didn’t know the reason, she said she didn’t want any compensation, but Qin Jin directly refused.

With Song Le, it was merely a relationship of mutual interest, nothing more. Qin Jin didn’t want to owe Song Le any favors.

However, the fact that Tang Bao didn’t ask was somewhat surprising, indicating that the woman didn’t believe it at all. Qin Jin squinted his dark eyes, walked to the garage, opened the car door, and got in.

"So what should I do? Should I take the initiative to find her?"

Even though it was just for show, like before—taking money to do a job—Song Le really wanted to flaunt and crush Gu Xiran a bit.

This woman seemed too high above like she was in the clouds, unreachable, while she was just a stand-in.

From the very beginning, her mother exchanged her life for Xiran’s life for money... Later, she lived under the shadow of that woman, throughout elementary, middle, high school, and even in the entertainment industry, as every place Xiran appeared, she could only be a supporting role or an extra.

All the opportunities she fought for in the entertainment circle were gained by maneuvering between men.

Thinking about the nights spent with those bloated old men, being tormented by them, filled Song Le with rage.

Why did she have to become a plaything for opportunities, mingling among directors, producers, and male actors, while Xiran could receive exclusive affection from Qin Jin and Qin Song, and even snatched the man she loved, Qin Jin?

Yes, Song Le liked Qin Jin, from the very first glance.

But the cold-eyed boy had eyes only for Tang Bao, not her.

In order to make Qin Jin notice her, she even tried hard to undergo plastic surgery to resemble Gu Xiran more.

Unfortunately, his attention was always on Gu Xiran.

...

"No need, stay put, and try not to appear in front of her to disturb her, got it?"

Qin Jin’s words were icy cold, as if he himself was submerged in a world of ice and snow, chilling to the bone.

Even through the phone, Song Le was overwhelmed by the man’s aura, biting her lip.

"Alright."

"Hmm, Song Le, don’t have any impractical thoughts, understood? The reason I sought you out for the reward to act was not for you to stir up trouble in front of Tang Bao; otherwise, I’ll make you vanish without a trace."

Qin Jin’s insightfulness into the woman’s thoughts made Song Le’s true colors show, leaving her very embarrassed.

"Yes..."

Beep beep beep...

Qin Jin had already hung up the call, and Song Le stared at the phone screen, her eyes full of resentment.

Why Gu Xiran?

Why did she have a prestigious family background, striking looks, knowledge, and talent?

While she had nothing, nothing at all.

The only man she liked was also taken by her.

...

"Sir, we need you to hand over your communication devices."

Qin Jin drove into the military base, and just as he got out of the car, the communications officer hurried forward to say.

"Hmm."

Qin Jin raised his hand, took out his phone from his pocket, and instinctively unlocked the screen. On the screen was an image of Tang Bao with a face full of cake.

Very cute.

That was from his birthday when the little girl secretly bought a cake to the military district to celebrate his birthday for him, intending to give him a surprise.

Later, she intended to smear cake on his face but ended up making herself look like a little cat.

He couldn’t help taking out his phone to capture the little girl’s adorable appearance as a memento. Later, when Tang Bao accidentally played games on his phone, she discovered it and changed it to the lock screen wallpaper, and ever since used it without changing.

Qin Jin’s dark eyes softened; even though the aura around him was still icy cold, at this moment, his eyes were filled with boundless tenderness.

"Hehe, sister-in-law is really beautiful. My girlfriend just loves the dramas she acts in and says they are very good."

Everyone in the military district knew about Qin Jin and Gu Xiran being childhood sweethearts.
