Chapter 1051: Sister A Jin, I’m Back

Gu Jin wondered if it was her imagination, but she noticed that there seemed to be a bit more of a smile on Kasi’s face today.

It was as if something had happened that made her very happy.

It’s known that Ms. Kasi has always been a serious maid, and she rarely lets her emotions show like this.

A thought flashed across Gu Jin’s mind, but it quickly slipped away.

She shook her head with a smile, sighing at her own bizarre and naive thoughts.

By her count, An Mingji, who was far away in Italy, hadn’t contacted her for over a week.

She wondered how he was doing recently.

Somewhat disappointed, Gu Jin picked up a spoon and drank her porridge.

As she lowered her head to eat, she didn’t notice Kasi widening her eyes with excitement and joy as she looked in the direction behind Gu Jin.

As if receiving some instructions, Kasi glanced at Gu Jin and then turned to enter the kitchen.

Behind her, light footsteps could be heard, as if someone was intentionally walking quietly, not wanting to be noticed.

With her considerable cultivation, Gu Jin detected it immediately.

She stopped her eating, wondering who it could be.

Few people came to her place now, except for An Mingji’s trusted aides who occasionally visited.

Listening to the sounds behind her, it didn’t seem like them.

Just as she was about to turn her head, she was embraced from behind, a familiar scent surrounding her nose.

"Ah Jin, I’m back."

A man’s sensually deep and husky voice sounded in her ear.

That familiar voice, that familiar scent, sent a thrilling emotion from deep within her heart.

An Mingji was back!

The spoon in Gu Jin’s hand fell into her bowl, making a crisp sound.

Her eyes widened as she looked down, seeing the pair of long, fair hands that were holding her.

Those hands were as beautiful, clean, and attractive as before.

She turned around abruptly, meeting the gaze of the young man behind her, separated for months but still as handsome and striking as ever.

He was dusty from travel, his eyes brimming with gentle smiles, like a ray of sunshine after the rain, bright and cheerful, making one easily fall into the depths of his eyes.

The indulgent smile on his lips was full of mature charm.

Whether it was the morning light shining in the dining room making the atmosphere too gentle or the long-awaited reunion, facing An Mingji’s deep and affectionate black eyes, Gu Jin seemed to hear the "thump! Thump! Thump!" of her heart.

Ignoring the strong tremor in her heart, Gu Jin broke into a bright smile.

Without thinking, she quickly stood up and gave the young man behind her a big hug.

"You rascal, you come back without even a heads-up!"

Though her tone was complaining, the laughter in her words showed she was very happy.

An Mingji held her in his arms, his movements gentle.

His voice was tender: "I wanted to give you a surprise."

"There was no joy, only surprise!" Gu Jin was not giving him any face.

An Mingji sighed in a mock-hurt tone: "After being apart for so long, didn’t Ah Jin miss me?"

Knowing Gu Jin hadn’t finished her breakfast, he released her, letting her sit back in her chair.

He took off his coat and casually draped it over a chair, then sat down beside Gu Jin.

Gu Jin glanced at the clock in the dining room, her face expressionless: "Miss you why? You haven’t contacted me for eight days, twelve hours, and forty-five minutes. I even thought you forgot about me!"

Seemingly not expecting such a reply, An Mingji blinked, his face soon breaking into a broader warm smile, his eyes also lighting up with joy.

He wrapped his arm around Gu Jin’s shoulder, his movements relaxed and natural: "So Ah Jin remembers so clearly; it seems you really missed me."

His tone was light, mixed with an unmistakable joy.
