Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Whoever Dares Block Him, He Will Slay Gods

"Knock knock—"

The teenager raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Gu Jin’s voice sounded from inside the room.

Hearing the clarity in her voice, An Mingji knew she was already awake.

He pushed the door open and saw Gu Jin, who had changed into thin home clothes, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, her arms crossed, leaning against the glass and looking at the scenery outside.

An Mingji walked into the room and casually closed the door behind him.

He spoke softly, "When did you wake up? Why not sleep a bit more?"

Gu Jin raised her hand to rub her eyes, turned around with a smile, "Couldn’t sleep."

Her eyes shimmered with tears, which An Mingji noticed, causing his heart to ache involuntarily.

Despite the heartache, his expression remained calm, and his eyes curved gently.

He walked up to Gu Jin and naturally pulled her into his arms, "Don’t be sad. I’ll be with you."

Gu Jin relaxed her body, resting against his chest, and nodded gently. The loneliness and desolation she felt facing the window alone earlier gradually dissipated.

She spoke sadly, "I still can’t believe Minmin just left like that. She was so young, hadn’t begun to enjoy the life that was meant for her future, how could such an accident happen."

In fact, what she also wanted to say was that in the past life, Gu Minmin lived in pain but didn’t die so early.

She wondered if interfering in the original course of events caused Minmin’s early demise in this life.

An Mingji didn’t know her inner thoughts. He held her relaxed body, resting his chin on her head, speaking gently, "I’ve sent someone to investigate. We’ll have news by tomorrow morning. Don’t think too much; life is unpredictable, and we must take this as a lesson."

"Yes, life’s unpredictability makes us think about ’what if’ only when incidents happen," Gu Jin sighed.

As for An Mingji’s last words, "We must take this as a lesson," Gu Jin deliberately ignored them.

She didn’t think much of it, only assuming that Little An meant they should cherish each day together.

An Mingji’s deep eyes looked at the scene illuminated by the dim streetlights outside the window, speaking in a low voice, "There aren’t that many ’what ifs’ in life."

His life wouldn’t allow for regrets.

What he wanted, he would stop at nothing to fight for, to take, to seize.

The years of being driven out of the house by his uncle and wandering had always been deeply buried in his heart.

It was those years that made him understand that only what you held in your hand truly belonged to you.

He wouldn’t have as many scruples as Brother Hai, nor would he be as timid as Gu Minmin in matters of love.

Ajin was his, and no one would take her away.

He would get what he wanted, even if it meant unscrupulously, as long as Ajin wasn’t hurt.

If anyone dared to stop him, he would fight them off.

An Mingji lowered his gaze, staring at the top of Gu Jin’s head, speaking softly, "Ajin, I have to go to Italy, possibly for a year."

Gu Jin’s expression changed when she heard that. She turned around, unconsciously gripping Little An’s hand.

"When did you decide?"

Previously, it was still under consideration, but from the boy’s tone, it was clear a decision had been made.

"Decided tonight. I had a call earlier; Auntie’s health is getting worse. She sounded very weak."

"So you’re preparing to take over the Darwin Family, is that it?"

Under Gu Jin’s questioning, An Mingji nodded silently.

He squeezed her hand back, half embracing her.

His voice full of reluctance, "Ajin, will you wait for me?"

Wait for me to come back, and we’ll never part again.

Wait for me to come back, and you will be mine.

Wait for me to come back, and you will be my queen.

Wait for me to come back—
