Page 976 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Qin Mu is famously rebellious by nature.

Persuasion may leave a slight chance.

But now... if it’s by forceful coercion, for Qin Mu, it’s absolutely impossible.

In this lifetime... the woman he loves most is Jian Ran. Other than Jian Ran... he would definitely not get involved with another woman.

Not to mention talking about marriage and having children.

These... have meaning only when done with the woman he loves...

Therefore, if she’s not Jian Ran, then sorry... Qin Mu can’t get over that hurdle in his heart.

...

So, when Qin Mu saw how authoritarian Grandpa Qin was being, he couldn’t help but retort with a cold look in his eye: "Grandpa, I’ve really put up with you for a long time.

Marriage is a big matter, and though it is traditionally arranged by parents and matchmakers, those are obsolete traditions and thoughts.

Please don’t interfere with my life anymore.

My elder and second brothers’ marriages were arranged by you, isn’t that enough? Why do you still have to involve me?"

"You..."

Qin Mu, who appears flippant about life, is actually famously filial. On a normal day, he would never speak to Grandpa Qin in such a tone.

This time, he was truly pushed to the limit.

Grandpa Qin was left gasping for air from anger due to Qin Mu, his expression stern and very annoyed.

"Qin Mu, I’m doing this for your own good... Mu Wan is the most suitable woman for you in this world!"

At this point, Grandpa Qin showed a somewhat complex expression.

On one chance occasion, he was invited back to Yuncheng University to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the school’s art gallery.

After the ribbon-cutting, he took the opportunity to visit the exhibition of paintings in the art gallery...

Among the artworks was a painting of a young man playing basketball from the back.

Grandpa Qin almost immediately recognized that the young man in the painting was Qin Mu...

Later, when he connected the artwork’s title, Unrequited Love... he investigated and found the author’s name.

Mu Wan!

"The eastern corner has departed, but it’s not yet dusk for the mulberry tree..."

Such a delicately named young lady.

But why would the content she depicted be Qin Mu?

Driven by curiosity, Grandpa Qin later used his connections to visit Mu Wan’s studio... Inside Yuncheng University, student studios are kept confidential to prevent plagiarism.

In his entire life, Grandpa Qin would never forget everything he saw when he entered Mu Wan’s studio.

Qin Mu could never have imagined the grandeur of the scene, a whole studio filled with sketches of Qin Mu.

Although he didn’t understand how to sketch, he could tell that the artist must dearly love the person in the drawings, otherwise, it would be difficult to create such affectionate paintings one after another.

Afterwards, he decided then and there.

Qin Mu must marry Mu Wan.

A woman who loves Qin Mu so deeply... is surely one who can warm Qin Mu’s heart and gradually fade his thoughts on Jian Ran.

All this... is my good intention.

So-called business marriages, in my view, are child’s play...

My choice of Mu Wan is primarily because of her secret affection for Qin Mu.

Not because of the Dongyue Group backing her.

Perhaps... only Mu Wan can lead Qin Mu out from Jian Ran’s shadow.

...

Qin Mu is unaware of the deep meaning behind Grandpa Qin’s words, and the corner of his mouth curls into a mocking sneer.

"For my good? Grandpa, I really can’t compliment you on that... You’re known for being controlling, wanting everyone to live under your manipulation... But sorry, I am not that kind of person..."
