Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Indeed, there’s a girl I genuinely like..."

"Wow, then tell her! You’re always so cheerful and flirty, you’ll definitely succeed in winning her over. Our Qin Song is so outstanding."

"She already has someone she likes."

"Qin Song, there’s no corner that can’t be pried open, only third wheels who don’t try hard enough."

Qin Song: "..."

If that silly girl knew she was the one I’m talking about, I wonder how she would feel.

Indeed, I’m too good at pretending.

Everyone else knows I like Tang Bao...

Except for her, she’s clueless.

To hide my feelings, all these years, I’ve wandered among flower beds, just as she said, flirting with young models and stars.

Actually... it’s no coincidence that it’s always in her crew. It’s inevitable.

Because then, I can rightfully visit her set, always keeping up with her current situation.

...

"Is that really what you think? My Little Tangbao..."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Clenched fists, patience, more patience.

Little Tangbao!

Everyone calls me Tang Bao. Though it’s a bit childish, it sounds cute and adorable. Only Qin Song keeps calling me Tangbao after we grew up, mischievously pulling my braids occasionally, or making funny faces to make me laugh when I’ve finally gotten into the acting mood.

He’s so... annoying.

"Well, I wish you happiness, Qin Song..."

The age difference between them isn’t large, and their mental ages are even closer, so Tang Bao sometimes calls Qin Song ’brother’. But most of the time, she just shouts ’Qin Song’.

When she was younger, she obediently called him ’Brother Qin Song’.

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Qin Song’s Adam’s apple moved a bit.

"Yes, me too."

Both of them had the same thoughts.

Qin Song slightly closed his dark eyes, concealing the emotions within them.

"I heard that at your birthday party, he said you two were just siblings?"

"Yeah, it pissed me off... I’ll get back at him later."

"Ha..."

Qin Song laughed lightly, his voice deep, making it hard to fathom his inner emotions.

"Tang Baobao, actually brother... he..."

"Hmm?"

Gu Xiran listened to Qin Song’s hesitant words, knowing the man had something to say, but kept stopping himself.

"Never mind... I’ll hang up now, there’s a girl waiting in my bed."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Blatant disdain.

Alright then.

Gu Xiran couldn’t help but mutter: "Qin Song, take care of your health, don’t overdo it... you haven’t looked great lately."

After saying this, Gu Xiran could clearly hear the silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, the man spoke again, playfully.

"Don’t worry... I’ll have to join your latest crew to flirt... remember to leave good ones for me, I won’t refuse."

Pah...

Gu Xiran felt utterly disgusted.

"I’m done talking, I’m going to shower now. I have to perform at Qin Jin’s camp tomorrow, so happy... haha."

"Mm, go to bed early tonight, and here’s an early goodnight."

"Hmm..."

Gu Xiran smiled as she hung up the phone, stretching her limbs and feeling much better.

However, did Qin Song just say he has someone he likes?

Is it true or false?

Sometimes when Qin Song speaks, it’s hard to tell whether he’s being honest...

Gu Xiran pondered deeply, thinking for a moment, and finally concluded that it’s probably false.

How could it be true, if he really liked a girl, why not go after her, and being surrounded by flowers all the time...

He doesn’t seem like someone who’s attached.

The thoughts of men.

Gu Xiran found it puzzling why the thoughts of the two men from the Qin Family are so hard to figure out, while Little Princess Jiujiu is good, cute and adorable, like a Barbie doll, making one unconsciously hug and kiss her again and again.

...

Gu Xiran had to get up early the next day to meet Qin Jin, so after a simple tidying up, Sister Ping and a driver arrived to personally take her to the camp.

Sister Ping looked at the young lady in a pure white long dress, inwardly marveling at the good figure and thinking how great it is to be young.

Upon first seeing Tang Bao, she wondered where this elf came from, fallen to Earth.

"Why are you smiling so much when it’s cloudy today?"

"Sister Ping, you already know, asking knowingly."

Gu Xiran was full of smiles, about to see Qin Jin, how could she be in a bad mood.

Moreover...

She wants to personally tell the man she’s accepted the role in Burning Love, just to see him get jealous.

Although... with Qin Jin’s personality, he might remain calm and handle it coldly.

"Alright, alright, now get in the car, I have something to tell you, there are two big news in the entertainment circle today."

Gu Xiran paused and followed Sister Ping into the back seat of the car.

"What’s up?"

"First, Gu Xiran has resigned as the female lead in Palace Intrigue and chosen the role of the much-hated supporting character."

Alright.

The media really has no news to broadcast, they’re even broadcasting this kind.

Choosing a role is every actor’s right after all.

"What about the second?"

"The second is big news."

Seeing Sister Ping’s mysterious look, Gu Xiran became more interested.

"Sister Ping, what exactly is it?"

"Second, it’s rumored that newcomer Song Le has replaced Gu Xiran, taking on the female lead in Palace Intrigue..."

Gu Xiran: "..."

What?

Song Le?

She’d been considering various actresses for the lead role... never thought Song Le would get it in the end.

"Tang Bao, now many people suspect she got the role through shady deals, whether she snatched your lead role, lots of your fans are upset on Weibo."

Gu Xiran’s mouth curled up, unlike Sister Ping’s displeasure, she felt much more relaxed.

"I thought it was something big, turns out it’s this... Sister Ping, you’re an insider, you should know I resigned... it has nothing to do with her vying for it, can’t blame her for it."

Pausing, Gu Xiran squinted her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips and said.

"But I did forget to tell you something, yesterday when I was in the bathroom, she followed me, asked me to give her the lead role, I flatly refused. Unexpectedly, she got the role, she’s quite capable."

"To be that capable, it’d be either due to talent, or strong connections with producers, directors, definitely not the first one, nor the second. This time the investors are the Qin Family and Gu Family, so maybe the issue lies with Director Ou."

Listening to Sister Ping’s professional analysis, Gu Xiran nodded, "Mm."

"Tang Bao, she’s no ordinary opponent."

"Hmm, don’t worry Sister Ping... Mommy says it’s okay to have big ambitions, but one must have the strength to support them..."

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a dark light, Song Le’s targeting of her was becoming stronger indeed.
