Page 502 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Ran Girl, you’ve diminished in value in front of this young master. I used to pine for you day and night... Now, although I still long for you with an itching heart, I’ve shared some of that affection with Sweetie."

Jian Ran: "..."

Qin Mu really knew how to bring up the most awkward subjects.

As expected, with Qin Mu’s words, Gu Mochen, who was eating abalone with usual grace, revealed a faint smile at the corner of his lips, full of mockery.

Qin Mu was shamelessly obsessed with both his wife and daughter, without any sense of propriety.

Gu Mochen sat upright, his gaze casually flicking towards Jian Ran, carrying a hint of something dangerous.

Jian Ran’s eyes darkened... it was over.

"All right... Qin Three, Tang Bao is here."

"Hmm... Sweetie, did you miss your young master? Since you’re not at home now, young master doesn’t feel like going back home anymore... Sigh... You need to come and comfort your young master’s wounded heart."

"Hmm... Uncle Qin, are you hinting that I should introduce you to a girlfriend?"

Tang Bao asked playfully with her big, watery eyes wide open.

Qin Mu: "..."

Did he really look that desperate?

Qin Mu tugged at the corner of his lips and said irritably, "You brat, you’re too clever for your age... Young master doesn’t need a girlfriend... Because young master has two already, you and your mummy are both young master’s girlfriends... clearly young master’s main love and little love."

Jian Ran: "..."

Qin Mu was truly unfiltered.

But knowing that the man was just like that, more playful in his speech, Jian Ran wasn’t surprised anymore.

Tang Bao pursed her lips, speaking in a childish tone.

"Hmm... Uncle Qin, I miss you too... Hehe, I’ll be back soon and will get to see you, and also see great-grandpa."

"No problem, oh man, my Little Princess, what spell did you cast on me? Now, if I don’t hug you for a nap at noon, your young master isn’t used to it anymore. It’s been so long since I’ve gotten any of your drool on my clothes."

Although Qin Mu was talking to Tang Bao, his gaze kept drifting towards Jian Ran in an ambiguous manner.

To be honest, he missed Tang Bao.

But he missed her more...

He wondered if she was doing well...

He wondered if she was happy.

Although some of his words were highly playful, if he were truly asked to speak seriously, he couldn’t articulate them.

There were some things, back then, that he and Jian Ran had missed out on.

The mistake lay in his carefree nature...

As a boy, he didn’t know how to express his affection, apart from childishly pulling her pigtails; beyond that, he really couldn’t manage anything else.

Qin Mu’s dark pupils flickered with a hidden light...

Perhaps he had been spoiled by his grandfather since childhood, used to a life of liberty and laxity.

So over the years, nothing had changed at all.

But... his love for Jian Ran was as evident as the sun, the moon and the earth, and never had it changed by the slightest bit.

...

Hearing Qin Mu’s teasing words, Tang Bao laughed heartily, looking incredibly cute and rosy.

"Oh... Uncle Qin, don’t mention my drooling. It’s embarrassing."

"You rascal, just flatter Uncle Qin once by saying he’s handsome, and Uncle Qin will be satisfied."

"Yay... Uncle Qin is handsome, Uncle Qin’s charm and youth could be described with ’like a fine tree beside the water,’ handsome and dashing, eloquent, graceful, witty, mature, imposing, with clear eyes and fine brows, rosy lips and pearly teeth, awe-inspiring, high-spirited..."
