Chapter 612: Does She Like You?
An Mingji glanced at her and didn’t voice any rebuttal.
Silence at this moment was tacit agreement.
An Feng took his hand and walked back to sit on the sofa.
She smiled and said, "I saw the Jade Ring she wore on her hand, that is the An Family’s ancestral treasure, do you know what it represents?"
An Mingji’s brows moved slightly, and he gently shook his head.
An Feng curled her lips and changed the topic, "How many offspring does Sister have?"
"Two, my father and Uncle," An Mingji did not conceal anything.
An Feng nodded, "Can you tell me about them?"
An Mingji sat beside her, silent for a moment, and An Feng did not rush him.
After quite a while, he told An Feng everything about his father’s death from severe illness, his mother running off with someone, his grandmother’s deteriorating health, and eventually being forced to death by his uncle, dying with open eyes.
Back then, Uncle An Hanyi, in order to get the things in grandma’s possession and the house left by his father, could be said to have angered grandma to death.
Hearing about the twists and turns surrounding Sister’s death, An Feng’s face remained calm, but in her eyes, a sinister and fierce light glimmered, as if she wished to tear and devour the culprit responsible for her sister’s death.
The danger emanating from her was immediately perceived by An Mingji.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his gaze and took out his phone, staring at Gu Jin’s number on the screen.
Kasi brought over a freshly brewed coffee and placed it in front of Mrs. Darwin.
Her arrival disturbed the furious An Feng.
Glancing at the coffee the maid brought over, An Feng suppressed her anger and looked up at An Mingji.
"When Sister passed away, did she tell you the significance of the Jade Ring?"
An Mingji lifted his gaze, his charming peach blossom eyes half-closed, "Grandma only told me that I could give it to someone who is very important to me."
Gu Jin is indeed the most important person to him.
An Feng also understood his unspoken meaning,
She picked up the coffee on the table and took a gentle sip at her lips.
Then she gazed at An Mingji and said slowly, "The An Family’s treasure is meant to be passed only to the women, never to the men, it’s the ring that chooses the master, if one isn’t destined, they can’t wear the ring. Neither my sister nor I were destined.
I remember when Father knew about this, he said he had two daughters, but neither was destined, said it may as well go to the granddaughter-in-law. Sister gave the ring to you, looks like Father’s words didn’t come true, the ring didn’t benefit the granddaughter-in-law, but instead benefited the great-granddaughter-in-law.
The girl who left earlier having worn the ring signifies she is your destined one, you seem very fond of her, does she like you?"
An Mingji’s gaze deepened, and he held his breath.
He never expected that the Jade Ring left by his grandmother held such underlying details.
Initially, he gave the ring to Gu Jin because it was the most important and valuable item to him.
He never considered that there was also an aspect of the ring choosing its master.
Especially upon hearing Great Aunt say that Ah Jin was his destined one, An Mingji felt his heart race, the joy spreading from within made him feel elated as if floating on clouds.
However, when Great Aunt asked if she liked him, the joy inside was completely shattered.
He liked Ah Jin, very, very much.
He also knew that Ah Jin naturally liked him too.
But unfortunately, their affections were not on the same wavelength.
He liked her intellectually and physically, with the feelings of wanting to monopolize her.
But Ah Jin’s affection for him was built on familial affection.
He could tell the difference.
