This time, An Mingji didn’t attend the shareholders meeting.

He moved his Adam’s apple slightly and loosened his grip on the spoon a little.

"So, does Gu Jin remember if anything interesting happened at this shareholders meeting?"

Gu Jin covered her mouth and lazily yawned, shaking her head gently.

"Nothing happened..."

She paused halfway through her sentence.

Then she changed her tone: "Actually, something did happen!"

An Mingji gazed at her thoughtfully, not probing but waiting for her to continue.

Gu Jin’s brows furrowed slightly: "After the shareholder meeting that day, Shi Yuanbin’s assistant came in, whispered something in his ear, and then his expression changed slightly as he left the meeting room with the assistant.

The shareholders didn’t know what happened, so they dispersed, and when I left, I saw Shi Yuanbin seemingly entangled with a woman. Now that I think about it, that woman looked quite familiar, could it be Shi Yuanbin’s ex-wife?"

She wasn’t sure, but thinking back now, the woman did indeed resemble Shi Yuanbin’s ex-wife somewhat.

"Did that woman see you?" An Mingji’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

He guessed that the woman should be Yang Miaomiao.

"I don’t know, I was about five meters away from them at the time, glanced once, and left."

After answering, Gu Jin’s features showed slight perplexity.

She stared at An Mingji across from her and asked, "Little An, are you hiding something from me?"

Tonight, something seemed off about An Mingji; Gu Jin couldn’t pinpoint what exactly, but felt as if he was trying to pry something out of her.

An Mingji’s expression remained unchanged, with even a composed smile forming at the corner of his lips.

He half-jokingly said, "What could I be hiding from you? I just heard some messy rumors and was afraid that you might be whisked away by some bad guy without me knowing. You promised me you wouldn’t leave me."

Gu Jin chuckled: "Silly boy, you better handle yourself!"

She gestured in the air towards An Mingji, her smile a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"I don’t care, you promised me!" An Mingji took the opportunity to act spoiled, playfully demanding an answer.

Gu Jin resignedly, yet fondly, replied, "I know, I remember."

"That’s more like it. If any bad guy tries to take you, I’ll handle one if one comes, and a pair if two come!"

It seemed like he was joking, but who knows, he might really mean it.

No one should think about taking away his Gu Jin!

"I doubt you’ll have that chance."

Gu Jin stood up and walked out of the dining room. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing her leave, An Mingji put down the spoon and followed her.

In the kitchen, Kasi was wiping dishes and cleaning up water marks by the sink.

She seemed oblivious to the conversation between the two childish individuals, entirely focused on her work.

"Awwooo—"

In the living room, Duoduo, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the movement and conversation of its two owners.

Lazily, it opened its eyes from its nest.

Watching them ascend the stairs one after the other, their figures growing distant, it turned and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

About twenty minutes later, Kasi took off her apron.

She first returned to the room on the first floor, picked up a thick stack of documents, and went upstairs.

Upstairs, in the study.

An Mingji was sitting at the desk, reviewing today’s stock market.

For the past few months, he had been monitoring the stock market, and the card with a million given to him by Gu Jin had now multiplied tenfold.

Now, he had his eye on a Sino-foreign joint venture listed company.

It was a potential stock, and he bought it without hesitation.
