Chapter 1052: Her Heart Is in Turmoil

Gu Jin brushed off the hand on her shoulder and gave him a sidelong glance: "Don’t flatter yourself."

Sitting close together, she could see the fatigue in the young man’s eyes, with a faint bluish hue beneath them.

She knew it was the aftermath of inadequate rest.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "You seem to have lost weight, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, just got off the plane."

Gu Jin showed disapproval: "Was there nothing to eat on the plane?"

"No appetite." The young man’s face displayed grievance.

Ever since childhood, Gu Jin couldn’t stand this expression from him. She opened her mouth to instruct Kasi to prepare another breakfast, and soon Kasi brought out a pre-prepared breakfast from the kitchen.

It was as if she had calculated the timing in advance.

At this point, Gu Jin finally understood why she felt Kasi was acting strange earlier.

Turns out everyone knew An Mingji was returning, except for her, who was left in the dark.

She wasn’t angry about it, instead, she just felt An Mingji was reverting back as he grew older. The obedience from his youth was entirely gone, and he showed traces of his youthful exuberance.

Kasi placed the breakfast in front of An Mingji: "Family Head, your breakfast."

Her demeanor was more respectful and cautious than usual.

"Thank you, Ms. Kasi."

An Mingji’s face was adorned with a gentle smile, his attitude towards Kasi was noticeably kinder.

The flesh on her face seemed to quiver twice from excitement.

She perceptively performed a noble’s courtesy and left the dining room, leaving the spacious area for the long-separated couple.

The once naïve boy now fully handled the Darwin Family, controlling the family legacy like the previous head.

With such a powerful family head, what woman could refuse?

Kasi was convinced at heart that Gu Jin would become the matriarch of the Darwin Family in the future.

"Finish your breakfast and take a nap, you look like you’ve been through a hardship."

Gu Jin glanced at An Mingji with distaste, though her eyes revealed clear concern.

"Alright."

An Mingji agreed wholeheartedly, reaching out for the milk in front of Gu Jin to sip.

"That’s mine..." milk.

Before Gu Jin could finish her sentence, she watched as he drank up the milk she had been drinking.

"This cup is too hot, and I’m a bit thirsty." An Mingji placed the empty cup back in front of Gu Jin, his tone completely natural.

It seemed he didn’t find anything inappropriate about it.

"..." Gu Jin was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

She glanced briefly at the milk in front of An Mingji, knowing well that after so long being cared for by Kasi, there was no way she would serve anything inedible.

Every time they dined, the temperature of the food on the table was always just right.

Knowing this was one thing, she did not expose An Mingji, though her mind was somewhat tangled.

Facing the young man’s strikingly beautiful face and his innocent eyes, Gu Jin’s heart was even more in disarray.

Within An Mingji’s profound and radiant dark eyes was an intense passion she could not comprehend, with a gentle gaze that shone like dazzling morning light, and deep... longing?

She inadvertently shifted her gaze, took a breath, and calmly urged: "Eat up."

"As you command!" A flicker of sadness passed through An Mingji’s eyes, then he returned to his usual demeanor.

He ate obediently, without crossing any lines thereafter.

An Mingji returned home this time for the Cultivator Conference.

He feared someone might bully his elder sister A Jin during his absence.

The family matters in Italy were originally supposed to be extended by half a month.

He hadn’t rested properly for seven or eight consecutive days, clearing all the pending matters in Italy and rushed back overnight.
