Page 974 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

So pure... A girl free from worldly desires.

Qin Mu had never truly looked at the woman before him... Now, with just a glance, he felt a momentary and restless stir of astonishment.

"Alright, I remember now... There’s no need for you to remind me again."

A faint curve formed at the corner of Mu Wan’s mouth, which, in Qin Mu’s eyes, appeared somewhat aloof and carried a hazy charm as if she were a celestial being.

"Hmm."

Qin Mu tugged at the corner of his lips, disregarding the impact the woman in front of him had on him, and then directly turned and got into his flashy sports car, driving off into the distance.

Mu Wan’s gaze lingered on the man’s sports car until it turned the corner and disappeared from sight, only then did she withdraw her gaze.

Just like the Qin Mu she had just encountered.

...

President Wu had never noticed Mu Wan’s unusual behavior, and couldn’t help frowning as he said, "What’s with this Young Master Qin? It seems the elder Mr. Qin hasn’t spoken to him about the arranged marriage yet."

Listening to President Wu’s murmuring, Mu Wan calmly responded, "Commercial marriage... Is it really that interesting? If you truly care about me as your daughter... Stop insulting my marriage with money."

Mu Wan sniffled, her eyes reddening, as she raised her gaze to look at the man in front of her, her father, feeling utterly estranged from him.

"Dad... If you have the time, just give mom and me some private space, and ask the auntie not to bother my mother. That’ll be enough."

President Wu: "..."

When you’re young, you’re bound to make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect.

The marriage between Wu Kun and Wang Xue was a commercial one. Later they had their first daughter, Wu Jingjing, but there was no love between husband and wife after marriage.

Later, by chance, Wu Kun went to lecture at Yuncheng University and fell in love with Mu Lengqiu from the Fine Arts Department at first sight. Soon after, they had Mu Wan.

Those three years were the happiest days of his life.

He had also hidden the fact that he was married from Mu Lengqiu, but eventually, the truth came out, and the whole affair was widely talked about at Yuncheng University.

After deciding to divorce Wang Xue, Mu Lengqiu, who had a straightforward personality... unwilling to be the other woman, left school and lived alone with Mu Wan.

It had always been like this for so many years.

She harbored resentment towards him... unable to let go.

Wang Xue would go to Mu Lengqiu’s sketching studio all the time to pick fights...

Wu Kun pursed his lips, attempting to say something, but his throat felt so dry and tight that no words came out.

"Wanwan, the Qin Family is honorable... and upright, Dad isn’t just arranging a commercial marriage for you... but choosing a good future for you."

The key point was... the Qin Family had specifically asked for Mu Wan by name.

Where did the elder Mr. Qin learn about the existence of Mu Wan?

And yet... he completely overlooked Wu Jingjing, the real young lady of the Wu Family.

Mu Wan: "..."

A bitter smile formed on the corner of Mu Wan’s mouth.

Indeed, the Qin Family is not bad... only, the commercial marriage is with Qin Mu.

How could I... survive a marriage of convenience with Qin Mu?

Moreover... it’s a massive irony for both of us.

Especially since Mu Wan knew Qin Mu’s personality, his devil-may-care and defiant nature; he always despised such dogmatic practices and would definitely not agree to a commercial marriage.

In short... Mu Wan felt this was completely matchmaking gone awry.

The person Qin Mu truly loves is Jian Ran, not herself.

"Dad... I’m sorry... but as you’ve also noticed just now, the person Qin Mu truly likes is Mrs. Gu, not me... I don’t want to force him to do something that will make him unhappy."
