Chapter 1216 His Deliberate Distance
That morning, Gu Jin stayed in his room and did not go downstairs.
After An Mingji finished dealing with family affairs, he sat downstairs reading magazines.
But an hour passed and he didn't turn a page of the magazine in his hand.
He also raised his head frequently and looked upstairs.
Alan, who was guarding the living room, looked at Linda, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Anyone could see that the head of the family was waiting for Miss Gu to come down from upstairs.
To be honest, they were also wondering why Gu Jin didn't come downstairs today.
Normally, she would be in the kitchen, making desserts and snacks for the master of the house in various ways to make him happy.
She hasn't been downstairs all morning now.
Another hour passed.
An Mingji threw down the book in his hand fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "Liar!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded from upstairs.
The gloomy expression on An Mingji's face instantly turned into an expressionless one.
He raised his head and glanced indifferently upstairs.
Sure enough, Gu Jin was standing on the stairs, looking at him with a smile on his face.
An Mingji turned around as if nothing had happened, picked up the magazine that he had thrown on the table before, and seemed to be reading it with great interest.
Alan, Linda couldn't bear to watch this scene.
Is this still their patriarch who is decisive in killing and planning everything?
She is so arrogant, but it makes people feel sorry for her.
The former head of the family was cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. No matter how much pain he suffered, he would always bear it alone.
Nothing or anyone could ever arouse his interest.
Only the appearance of Gu Jin broke all the rules and made the head of the family become as warm as a normal person.
Look at the curve at the corner of the patriarch's lips that couldn't be suppressed, and the gloomy and cold light in his eyes. The moment Gu Jin appeared, all of them disappeared.
The head of the family really regards Miss Gu as very important.
Gu Jin didn't notice An Mingji's mood change. She walked down with a smile and went straight to An Mingji.
She held a red pill in her hand and handed it to An Mingji, her voice full of expectation: "This is a new pill I developed. It can cure your leg disease. Although it is not as fast as the previous one soaked in medicine, it has no side effects. Taking it for half a month will make your legs recover as before."
An Mingji's leg is always a concern for Gu Jin.
She wanted to heal his legs and make him normal.
But as soon as she said this, An Mingji's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A chill gathered in his peach-blossom eyes, as if a caged beast was about to escape and wanted to tear Gu Jin in front of him into pieces and chew him into its stomach.
An Mingji slowly lowered his eyes, hiding the dark light in them. He said in a light voice: "After you cured my leg, you disappeared again?"
There was sarcasm and cruelty on his face, as well as a sense of alienation that could freeze one to pieces.
The smile on Gu Jin's face faded, and his voice was dry: "I just want your leg to get better."
"No need!" An Mingji refused coldly.
He even reached out and knocked the red pill from Gu Jin's hand.
An Mingji called out: "Linda!"
"I'm here!"
Linda immediately came running over.
"Push me to the study."
Linda immediately came behind the wheelchair and pushed it out of the living room.
Before leaving, she looked at Gu Jin hesitantly.
Gu Jin squatted there, watching An Mingji leave with helplessness and sadness on his face.
The relationship that the two of them had finally gotten closer to seemed to have been ruined by her.
In the next two days, An Mingji began to deliberately distance himself from Gu Jin.
