Free Web NovelChapter 834: Chapter 834: Xiao An’s Inner Panic
Gu Jin changed into her home attire and went downstairs, hearing noise coming from below.
There was Duoduo’s soft growling, mixed with a teenager’s joyful laughter.
Gu Jin went downstairs and saw a person and a wolf playing in the living room.
Xiao An was holding a ball tied with a rope, teasing Duoduo.
Duoduo wanted to bite the ball, but every time his speed was still not fast enough to catch up with An Mingji, so he could only keep pouncing back and forth.
Unable to reach the ball, it let out soft growls of frustration from time to time.
An Mingji sat downstairs, immediately sensing Gu Jin’s gaze.
He looked up, his eyes smiling.
It was precisely at this moment of distraction that Duoduo quickly managed to bite the ball.
"Awoo awoo—"
It made victorious sounds with the ball in its mouth.
Gu Jin saw this scene from upstairs, smiled, and walked down: "Back already?"
An Mingji’s eyes crinkled with laughter: "Uh-huh, A Jin, you came back early too."
Gu Jin casually sat down on the sofa and shrugged: "Just went to meet someone and resolve some personal matters."
Her twenty-plus years of torment in the previous life were a thorn in her heart.
After tonight, everything will start anew.
The heavy things that once oppressed her heart will never affect her again.
An Mingji was very tactful, not asking her what matters she had resolved.
He had already sent Allen to investigate Liu Bochang, believing it wouldn’t be long before they got the desired results.
Gu Jin also didn’t want to inform the young man in front of her about the entanglement between the Zhen and Liu families in her past and present lives.
She changed the subject and asked An Mingji: "In a few days there’s the National Beauty spokesperson audition, do you want to go see it?"
"Are you going?" An Mingji asked.
Gu Jin shook her head: "No, this time it’s the preliminary selection. It’s all handed over to Brother Jie. I’ll go take a look when the final candidate is confirmed."
"Then I won’t go either." An Mingji straightforwardly refused.
If A Jin isn’t going, then it would be a waste of time for him to go too.
Hearing him refuse so decisively, Gu Jin laughed: "I see you’ve been bored lately, thought about letting you go and have some fun."
As soon as these words were out, An Mingji’s nerves immediately tightened, but his face showed no sign of it.
He immediately suspected that A Jin had discovered his presence tonight.
Could these words be deliberately said for him to hear?
Gu Jin didn’t notice the tensed emotions and underlying panic of the teenager.
She glanced at Duoduo with the ball in its mouth, playing at An Mingji’s feet, and said: "When you’re alone, you rarely take Duoduo out for a walk. This time you actually took it out for a stroll, seems you are really bored."
In the past, they mostly took Duoduo out together. If Gu Jin didn’t have time, An Mingji almost never took him out on his own.
Even if Duoduo was playful and restless, he would always let Kasi take him out.
An Mingji, who was initially panicking and thinking of multiple excuses, relaxed heavily at Gu Jin’s words.
He rubbed his fingertips idly, his voice casual and lazy: "Just ate an extra bowl of rice tonight, perfect opportunity to go downstairs and digest."
Gu Jin raised her eyes, looking at him with an ambiguous expression.
The expression on her face clearly showed disbelief.
She still believed he was just bored.
An Mingji didn’t argue, as long as A Jin didn’t discover he followed her to the Saint No Hotel tonight, it didn’t matter.
Anything else was insignificant.
Gu Jin was planning in her mind, thinking about taking An Mingji out for some fun one day.
She heard there is a jade raw material trade fair in Nanmian.
Maybe she could take him for a stroll.
However—
Minmin sacrificed herself over in Nanmian, she felt some aversion in her heart towards the place.
