An Mingji raised his gaze, his peach blossom eyes filled with deep affection and yearning, a thin red tint coloring his beautiful eye corners.

Those deeply affectionate and gentle eyes just stared at Gu Jin, as if he couldn’t wait to devour her entirely the next moment.

Facing such an unfamiliar look from her own child, Gu Jin unconsciously swallowed, feeling the atmosphere become more subtle.

For some reason, she found it hard to meet the young man’s gaze directly.

"What are you thinking? Hmm?" The young man’s nasal tone stretched out, his voice low and pleasant, both ambiguous and sensual.

Heartbeats quickened, thump thump—

Gu Jin felt that her heart was about to leap out of her throat, a feeling both unfamiliar and nerve-wracking.

She lowered her gaze slightly, her voice a bit raspy: "Nothing much."

The indoor atmosphere was too bizarre, Gu Jin felt somewhat at a loss, and also a bit uneasy.

She didn’t dare to look directly at the young man in front of her, only able to lower her gaze to avoid his fervent gaze.

Observing her expression carefully, An Mingji’s expression subtly changed, his thin lips pressed tightly, eyes darkening, the hand he placed by Gu Jin’s waist slowly loosened, after several struggles eventually left.

He was still too impulsive, a little too eager.

With the hand on her waist letting go, Gu Jin visibly breathed a sigh of relief, she stepped back half a step wanting to leave, then suddenly her body was picked up.

An Mingji held her in his arms, carried her to the sofa, and seated her there.

"Ah Jin, you need to lose weight, so heavy."

The young man’s lips moved slightly, his voice tender beyond words, yet what he said was quite infuriating.

With those words, the previous ambiguous atmosphere collapsed completely, disappearing without a trace.

After he finished speaking, An Mingji quickly escaped.

Gu Jin widened her eyes, staring at his departing figure, grinding her teeth audibly.

Immediately something unknown struck towards the young man’s back.

It was a pillow Gu Jin threw at him.

The pillow didn’t hit An Mingji as he had already reached the stairway.

Seeing this, Gu Jin stood up in anger: "You’re the one who needs to lose weight! You’re the heavy one, your whole family is!"

Already stepping on the stairs, An Mingji turned back, showing a bright and cheerful smile at Gu Jin: "Ah Jin, we’re family, my whole family includes you."

"Stop right there!" Gu Jin got even more furious.

What responded to her was the sound of footsteps accelerating upstairs.

Just now, Gu Jin thought the young man would say something earth-shattering, but he ended up delivering a blow with his words.

A woman’s weight should never be mentioned, just like the age of a woman past a certain age, no matter how indifferent she seems, she’s still a woman, how could she not be upset being called fat?

What An Mingji said made her feel vaguely disappointed.

Although she didn’t know what she was disappointed about, nor what she was expecting, it was just that the feeling was inexplicably unpleasant.

At this moment, she wished she could drag An Mingji, who ran upstairs quickly, down and give him a good beating.

He was simply a little mind-consuming demon; the older he got, the less she found peace with him.

Upstairs.

Returning to his room, An Mingji closed the door, harshly leaning against it.

The relaxed smile, peaceful and gentle expressions on his face vanished completely.

In his deep handsome eyes, what showed now was the strong possessive passion released after being suppressed.

Just downstairs, he almost, almost confessed the love in his heart.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable impulse, urging him to disclose everything.

Throw caution to the wind and tell Ah Jin, let her know how much he likes her.

Each time he saw her, he couldn’t help but want to kiss her, hug her, and if possible, wanted even more intimacy.

Luckily, at the critical moment, he restrained himself.
