Chapter 600: Invitation from the Darwin Family Head
"Yes, madam."
Kasi replied respectfully and immediately took a few bodyguards towards the door.
An Feng turned back and instructed her, "Invite that pretty girl to join us as well, be polite and don’t scare her."
This woman, who had been ruthless and iron-handed all her life, spoke with a hint of caution in her voice.
Surprise flashed through Kasi’s eyes, but she quickly contained it and replied respectfully, "Yes, Mrs. Darwin."
Downstairs, Gu Jin noticed that the attention focused on her had shifted.
She withdrew her gaze and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of her lips, softly looking at the young man’s seemingly calm face but slightly furrowed brow.
She touched his face, her eyes forming a crescent shape, full of warmth: "Little An, you’re so handsome!"
Qiu Qianghai, Wanqi Jingyi, and Wanqi Heyang, who were always watching the two, felt a pang of sorrow hearing her straightforward compliment.
They had thought there was a problem between the two since Gu Jin’s expression was too serious earlier.
But seeing their current state, it seemed there wasn’t much issue.
Only An Mingji could clearly feel that Gu Jin was not quite right.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if something uncontrollable was happening, turning his emotions gloomy and causing his heart to sink.
Facing Gu Jin’s gentle smile, he dared not reveal a slightest hint, could only feel anxious inside.
An Mingji furrowed his brow, his face tense, his dark eyes fixed on Gu Jin, feeling exceedingly heavy at heart, but trying to appear relaxed on the surface.
Gu Jin’s smile didn’t waver as she tenderly touched An Mingji’s face.
Regardless of whether they parted, she respected his choice.
As long as it was what he wanted, she would support him unconditionally.
Suddenly, Gu Jin glanced at a group coming downstairs, led by a slightly plump, blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman, followed by several black-clad men exuding evil qi.
They headed straight for the VIP seats in the hall, their gaze fixed on her and An Mingji.
Gu Jin’s lips curled into an ambiguous curve, muttering, "They’re here—"
Qiu Qianghai, keen-eared, asked, "What’s here?"
An Mingji glanced downward at the Jade Ring in his hand, clenched it tightly, then followed Gu Jin’s gaze.
Kasi had already brought Darwin Family’s bodyguards to the VIP seats.
Their foreign looks attracted the attention of many in the hall, especially those at the VIP seats from Mu Family, Yin Family, Wanqi Family brothers.
The only foreign guests upstairs tonight were from the Darwin Family.
As Kasi and others descended from upstairs, they already had a rough guess of their identity.
The auction on stage was also suspended, the emcee recognized Kasi’s identity and had to interrupt the auction.
Kasi approached Gu Jin and An Mingji, speaking in a stilted Chinese, politely saying, "Our Family Head upstairs took an instant liking to you two, wishing to invite you two up for a chat."
Although clearly foreign, she repeatedly used idioms, and these idioms were used in a way that was... both laughable and lamentable.
An Mingji cast a faint glance at Kasi and the unfriendly-looking black-clad men behind her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
To him, these people seemed to be the reason for Gu Jin’s odd demeanor.
His first impression of Kasi and others was very unfriendly and even quite averse.
The young man coldly observing Kasi and others with a gloomy gaze, lowered his eyes afterward, the corners of his lips curving into a wicked smile.
No one would affect his relationship with Gu Jin!
