Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: His Deliberate Alienation

That morning, Gu Jin stayed in her room, never coming downstairs.

An Mingji finished handling the family affairs and sat downstairs flipping through a magazine.

But an hour passed and he hadn’t turned a single page.

He kept looking up frequently, gazing towards upstairs.

Allen and Linda exchanged a knowing look, with a hint of understanding in their eyes.

Anyone could tell the Family Head was waiting for Miss Gu from upstairs to come down.

Honestly, they were also puzzled why Gu Jin hadn’t come downstairs today.

Usually, she would be in the kitchen, making little snacks and delicacies for the Family Head, keeping him happy.

But now she hadn’t come down all morning.

Another hour passed.

An Mingji slammed the book in his hand down hard, gritting his teeth, "Liar!"

"What are you muttering about?"

A crisp and melodious voice rang out from upstairs.

An Mingji’s cold expression vanished instantly, replaced by a blank face.

He looked up, his gaze calmly sweeping towards the upstairs.

Sure enough, Gu Jin stood on the stairs, smiling at him.

An Mingji nonchalantly turned back, picking up the magazine he had thrown on the table earlier, pretending to be very interested again.

Allen and Linda couldn’t bear to watch this scene.

Is this really the decisive and always-strategizing Family Head they knew?

He’s ridiculously proud, yet somehow evokes sympathy.

The once Family Head was cold, heartless, bloodthirsty, always bearing any pain alone.

No one or anything had ever piqued his interest.

Only Gu Jin’s appearance broke all norms, making the Family Head seem human, with warmth.

Look at the smile on the Family Head’s lips that he couldn’t suppress, and the icy darkness in his eyes evaporated completely when Gu Jin appeared.

The Family Head truly considered Miss Gu very important.

Gu Jin didn’t notice An Mingji’s shift in emotion; she walked down with a smile, heading straight for An Mingji.

She held a red pill in her hand, offering it to An Mingji, her voice full of anticipation: "This is a new pill I’ve developed. It can cure your leg ailment. Although it doesn’t act as quickly as soaking with the previous medicine, it has no side effects and will restore your legs in half a month."

An Mingji’s leg was a constant concern for Gu Jin.

She wanted to heal his leg, for him to be like a normal person.

But with her words, An Mingji’s face visibly darkened.

His enchanting eyes filled with a coldness, as if a beast locked away was about to escape and tear Gu Jin apart.

An Mingji slowly lowered his gaze, hiding the darkness in his eyes, his voice calm: "Once my leg is healed, you’ll disappear again?"

His face showed ridicule, a fierce and chilling detachment.

Gu Jin’s smile faded, her voice dry: "I just want you to get better."

"No need!" An Mingji rejected coldly.

He even reached out and knocked the red pill from Gu Jin’s hand.

An Mingji called out, "Linda!"

"At your service!"

Linda immediately ran over.

"Take me to the study."

Linda swiftly came behind the wheelchair and pushed it out of the living room.

Before leaving, she hesitated slightly, glancing at Gu Jin.

Gu Jin crouched on the spot, feeling helpless but sad as she watched An Mingji leave.

Their relationship, which had finally grown closer, seemed to have been ruined by her.

Over the next two days, An Mingji began to deliberately distance himself from Gu Jin.
