Chapter 768: Xiao An Has Someone He Likes
In the astonished eyes of Gu Jin, An Mingji slowly lowered his head.
The sound of a heartbeat echoed in the quiet space.
Gu Jin couldn’t tell whose heartbeat it was.
She felt like it was her own.
But as the young man approached her, she seemed to hear a heartbeat that didn’t belong to her.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
One beat after another, it made her clear-headed rationality gradually disintegrate.
An Mingji’s deep eyes glowed with a profound light, and as he got closer and saw Ah Jin neither dodge nor hide, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His warm lips slowly approached.
Finally, they gently touched Gu Jin’s slightly parted lips.
"This is what you call teasing."
A youthful, affectionate, and deep voice sounded by her ear.
Gu Jin felt like her whole body was electrified.
Her wide, beautiful eyes stared directly at the young man, showing disbelief, and her elegant brows furrowed slightly.
The smile on the young man’s delicate face vanished, his deep eyes fixed steadily on her.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the unease in his eyes and the slight tremor in his gaze.
The wolf cub she had raised kissed her, and Gu Jin didn’t reject him immediately; she was just a little confused.
"Xiao An, are you..."
Before she finished her sentence, An Mingji stood up and left, swiftly got off the bed, hurriedly put on his shoes, and headed to the bathroom inside.
"Xiao An!" Gu Jin called out to stop him.
An Mingji stopped with his back to her.
He didn’t turn around, just stood there motionless.
Gu Jin’s vague speculations shifted as he avoided and left.
She sat up, staring at the boy’s tall back, her voice gentle: "Xiao An, do you like someone?"
"Yes."
An Mingji answered quickly and decisively.
Gu Jin recalled a month ago when she was on a video call with An Mingji in Italy, and Linda stood beside him.
Her heart felt like it was twisted in countless ways.
An immense sadness overwhelmed her instantly.
Suppressing this sadness, she spoke softly: "Since you like someone, find a time to bring her for me to see. After all, I should meet my future sister-in-law."
Future sister-in-law?
An Mingji felt a chill coursing through his body, his hands clenched into fists.
Just now, he saw the rejection in Ah Jin’s eyes.
In the past, no matter how they played around, no matter how he teased Ah Jin, she never showed him such a look: shock, surprise, and rejection.
In the end, he was too impatient.
He pressed his thin lips tightly, the deep light in his eyes gradually regaining calm.
He said softly, "Alright."
One day, he would let Ah Jin know whom he truly liked.
He had to remain patient.
With his quiet "alright," Gu Jin stood up and left the room.
She felt a bit upset and frustrated inside.
The emotions stirred by being kissed by the young man gradually dissipated.
When An Mingji came downstairs, Gu Jin was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
Despite his attitude being the same as usual, An Mingji sensed a coldness from her, a subtle indifference of sulking.
Gu Jin indeed felt uncomfortable.
The wolf cub she had raised found someone he liked and didn’t tell her immediately.
Moreover, he actually kissed her.
It felt like he was practicing on her.
The two quietly finished breakfast and went out together. First, they visited Jiulan Hall to reconcile accounts and replenish the missing herbs in the hall, and then they went to their appointment.
Saint No Hotel, restaurant private room.
Gu Jiajie and Qiu Qianghai had already arrived.
At this moment, one was standing and the other was sitting.
Qiu Qianghai was standing by the window of the room, making a phone call, listening to the voice on the other end.
