Chapter 700: Chapter 700: The Lover I Will Protect for a Lifetime

"..."

The other end of the phone fell silent.

Not getting a response, An Mingji wasn’t in a hurry.

He lowered his gaze, looking gently at Gu Jin in his arms.

The other person looked calm, as if asleep, except for the tear stains on her face which were a bit glaring.

An Feng understood that anything requiring her nod must involve national interests; otherwise, Allen couldn’t possibly disobey.

After a moment.

An Feng’s tired yet indulgent voice came from the phone.

She asked, "Mingji, do you want to take over the Darwin Family?"

A strange look passed through An Mingji’s eyes, a dark light flashed in his pupils: "I’m still considering it."

He was speaking the truth.

An Feng chuckled softly: "Child, if you wanted to take over the Darwin Family, there’s no need to ask me about these matters. You just instruct Allen to handle them." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

An Mingji: "What if my decision is the opposite?"

An Feng’s voice remained calm as before: "Then you can also instruct Allen to do it. If you don’t take over the Darwin Family, I can only hand it over to Allen. He is the person I trust most and the last trump card I’ve prepared for you.

But can you be sure he’ll always be your trump card, your blade?

The trouble you encountered today, will you face it again in the future? If it happened to that girl Gu Jin, what would you do?"

Facing Aunt Feng’s series of questions, An Mingji fell into deep thought.

He knew Aunt Feng still hoped he would personally control the Darwin Family.

She was also subtly warning him that even if the family was handed over to Allen in the future, he might still be restrained by others, and nothing would be as free as having control himself.

An Mingji lowered his gaze, gazing deeply at Gu Jin in his arms, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

He would never allow today’s incident to happen to Sister Gu Jin.

Never will it be allowed!

"Child, the best way to make someone stronger is to have someone you want to protect for a lifetime. Don’t let fleeting relationships sway you, plan for the long term."

An Feng’s tired and weak voice came through the receiver again.

An Mingji looked at Gu Jin lovingly and tenderly, extending his long fingers to gently caress her face inch by inch.

The young man slowly smiled: "I will arrange time to go to Italy, thank you, Aunt Feng."

Thank you for giving me supreme power.

Thank you for painstakingly presenting me with a vast underground kingdom.

"Good child, I don’t have much time left; you need to speed up."

An Mingji replied with a hum, and the call was disconnected.

He turned his head and glanced lightly at Allen, who immediately smiled and said, "By tomorrow morning, I will have all the inside information you want to know clarified."

Allen had listened to the conversation between the lady and the young master.

He was smiling on the surface, but inwardly he kept complaining.

By what virtue and ability could he take over the Darwin Family? It’s just that Madam Darwin was provoking the young master.

Understanding was one thing; he wouldn’t say it out loud.

After all, after spending so much time together, he believed the young master was undoubtedly the rightful heir to the Darwin Family.

Whether it’s his strength or his way of doing things, they are admirable.

The most important thing is that the young master is as ruthless as Madam Darwin, if not more so.

He began to anticipate the heights they would reach after the other accepted the family.

Late at night.

Seven or eight luxurious cars sped down the wide road.

Left Bank Pavilion.

The gatekeeper was startled awake in the middle of the night by the sound of horns outside the barrier.

He groggily looked up and saw several luxury cars appear outside the community.
