Assistant to My Contracted Husband

On the stage, although Gu Xiran lost her focus for a moment due to the eye contact with Qin Jin, she quickly regained her composure and bowed in respect.

"Thank you, everyone."

Even though she was performing, Gu Xiran was well aware of the etiquette that was necessary.

"Thank you, Miss Gu... Thank you, Mr. Gu and Mr. Qin, for your strong support of the military district..."

The host warmly expressed gratitude to Gu Xiran; for many years, the Gu Family and Qin Family have been unwavering in their support for the military district.

This point was well recognized by everyone.

Gu Xiran, in particular, has consistently been involved firsthand in every military district performance for ten years, without any compensation. In the entertainment industry, such dedication is quite rare.

...

Gu Xiran strolled off the stage, a polite smile always on her lips, making people feel as if they were bathed in the warmth of spring.

Encountering such a beautiful girl, almost goddess-like in presence, compelled everyone to take a few extra glances.

Except for Qin Jin, who squinted his dark eyes, remaining as cold as ice, making him unapproachable, and leaving his emotions unfathomable and obscure.

...

"Xiran, sit down and rest a bit. Your performance was excellent, and your voice opened up well."

Though not comparable to professional singers, the performance effect itself was commendable.

"Hmm."

Miss Ping quickly stepped forward, guiding Gu Xiran to a seat in the audience to continue watching.

Yet Gu Xiran’s attention was not on the stage at all, but focused on Qin Jin in the distant center.

The man seemed solitary and aloof, unapproachable.

Gu Xiran inwardly pondered why a man needs to maintain such aloofness.

Sigh, such behavior makes it really hard to win girls’ affection.

Evidence proves.

This kind of behavior easily wins girls’ affection.

For example, herself, pursuing the man tirelessly for so many years.

Yes, she has liked the man for a total of fourteen years.

From childhood innocence and ignorance to now... fiery passion...

Though the man remains aloof, she is fiery and passionate, advancing recklessly.

She wonders if this counts as a moth flying into the flame?

...

"Next, let’s welcome Qin Jin to the stage to speak. Chief Qin is remarkable; his battalion claimed first place again in this exercise, a three-time champion... So we must earnestly listen to Chief Qin’s insights."

"Indeed..."

"Wow..."

Cheering erupted from the audience, and Gu Xiran slightly snapped back to reality, her beautiful eyes landing on Qin Jin as he quickly stood up, walking steadily towards the stage in full military attire, exuding an imposing aura.

So handsome...

Gu Xiran found herself dazed; probably every girl dreams of a soldier brother.

Qin Jin is her dream; alas, she doesn’t know when her dream will come true.

...

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Qin Jin’s words were sparse and cold, yet full of authority; as he spoke, the previously lively venue instantly quieted down.

"Although our division took first place in this exercise, there are still significant errors in my personal command. I will make a summary of this and next time, my opponent... is only today’s self... Thank you, and I’d like to ask the brothers in other divisions not to go easy on us next time... Thank you."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Very arrogant, very distinctive.

Qin Jin’s speech lacked structure, yet as soon as he finished, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, all expressing admiration for the man.

Gu Xiran secretly despised... Okay, despite the arrogance, she couldn’t help but really like it, because he had such a strong personality.

The host saw Qin Jin about to leave, quickly stopped him.

"Captain Qin, don’t rush off; I came to the stage with tasks. Everyone has many personal questions they want to ask Captain Qin."

"Hmm?"

Qin Jin remained silent, while the host, accustomed to Qin Jin’s aloofness, couldn’t resist teasing.

"I want to ask Captain Qin when he plans to get a girlfriend, after all, you are really handsome... Many in the military district who like you could fill a tank."

The crowd chuckled softly...

"Sorry, I haven’t considered it yet."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Her heart was lifted high because of the host’s question, fearful the man might mention Song Le.

Now the man says he hasn’t considered it, leaving Gu Xiran unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Damn it, wasn’t it agreed to be her boyfriend when she turned 18?

Now he breaks his promise, jerk.
